The House struck comments made by Ohio Republican Rep. Max Miller after he blasted Michigan Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib on the House floor Wednesday as someone who &#8220;advocates for terrorists on a daily basis&#8221; — but a look at Tlaib&#8217;s decade-long record suggests Miller&#8217;s got the receipts to back up every word.
Miller unloaded on Tlaib during debate, telling her directly: &#8220;Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, gentle lady from Michigan, and its members are butchers that you like to hang out with to a certain extent.&#8221;
When Tlaib erupted in anger, Miller didn&#8217;t flinch.
&#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m sorry. Are we getting a little emotional?&#8221; he shot back.
After the chairman asked him to suspend, Tlaib erupted again — and Miller doubled down: &#8220;I certainly believe you advocate for them, yes. You advocate for terrorists on a daily basis. You advocate for a terrorist regime every single day.&#8221;

Tlaib immediately demanded Miller&#8217;s words be stricken from the record, calling them &#8220;a direct attack on my character.&#8221; The House struck the comments after Miller refused to voluntarily retract his remarks, Axios <a href="https://x.com/AndrewSolender/status/2062310787314524349">reported</a>.
&#8220;Such remarks impugn the patriotism and loyalty of a member of the House, which is not in order,&#8221; said California Republican Rep. Jay Obernolte, who was presiding over the House. &#8220;Without objection, the offending words are stricken from the record.&#8221;
The House itself has already weighed in on Tlaib&#8217;s record. In November 2023, the chamber voted 234–188 to censure her, with 22 Democrats crossing the aisle to support the rebuke. The resolution cited a years-long pattern of anti-Israel rhetoric, her <a href="https://d12t4t5x3vyizu.cloudfront.net/maxmiller.house.gov/uploads/2023/11/MILLOH_024_xml5.pdf">promotion</a> of the &#8220;from the river to the sea&#8221; slogan — a Hamas rallying cry calling for Israel&#8217;s destruction — and her inflammatory statement the day after the October 7 massacre, in which she called Israel an apartheid state and suggested the U.S. cut off support for its closest Middle East ally.
That was far from an isolated incident. She once said on the ‘‘Skullduggery” podcast, “There’s always kind of a calming feeling, I always tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust and the tragedy of the Holocaust.&#8221;
In 2021, Tlaib <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-rashida-tlaib-speaks-at-fringe-rally-where-activists-call-for-the-elimination-of-israel">spoke at a rally</a> outside the State Department where activists chanted for the elimination of Israel — even as Palestinian terrorists were firing hundreds of rockets into Israeli cities. In 2020, she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rashida-tlaib-expresses-support-for-palestinian-terrorist-who-tried-to-kill-israeli-soldiers">boosted</a> defenders of Ahmad Erekat, a man Israeli police say drove his car into a border checkpoint in a deliberate terrorist attack. In February 2024, she was the sole member of the entire House — Democrat or Republican — to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rashida-tlaib-votes-present-on-resolution-condemning-hamas-rape">refuse</a> to vote yes on a resolution condemning Hamas&#8217;s use of rape and sexual violence as a weapon of war, voting &#8220;present&#8221; instead.
She was also a member of a private Facebook group whose members <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rashida-tlaib-is-a-member-of-facebook-group-that-praised-hamas-after-its-attack-on-israel-report">glorified</a> Hamas in the immediate aftermath of October 7, posting photos of Hamas fighters posing with elderly hostages and celebrating the slaughter of Israeli soldiers as &#8220;achievements.&#8221; The group&#8217;s founder — one of Tlaib&#8217;s key fundraisers — has posted videos questioning the Holocaust and calling Jews &#8220;satanic.&#8221;
Miller called Tlaib a terrorist advocate on the House floor. The House censured her. Her own colleagues slammed her. Her own Facebook group cheered Hamas.
Strike his words? They&#8217;re the most documented words spoken in Congress all week.

If there were any doubt that Democrats are ecstatically lining up to echo the radical antisemitic rhetoric of hard-left zealots such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, and New Yorkers — even left-wing Jews — who are only too happy to support them, former New York City comptroller Brad Lander, a Jew who is running against incumbent Democrat congressman Dan Goldman, has made it abundantly clear.
Speaking at a mosque where the imam reportedly prayed for the “killing of infidels by [the] sword,” Lander not only vilified the state of Israel with the usual lies but also spoke of his hope for a “partnership” with Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib before concluding with a verse from the Quran praising Allah.
“I believe, as a proud Jewish New Yorker, that Israel&#8217;s genocide in Gaza is a desecration,” he began, resorting to the malicious lie about the Jewish state, before continuing, “is a violation of the understanding that everyone is created in God&#8217;s image — every one of those Palestinian kids in Gaza, just as divine as my beloved children.”
“And so, yes, in Congress, I will not vote for any more U.S. military aid to Israel, not the bombs that are destroying the hospitals and schools in Gaza, not the occupation in Lebanon, which is now, I believe, unfortunately, on its way potentially to being a genocide as well,” he blathered.
Then he turned to his hoped-for “partnership” with the most vehement anti-Israel members of Congress, declaring, “The kind of partnership I developed with Zohran. I hope to come to have with Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar and others in Congress to show we can build a city and a country and a world that everyone can afford and where everyone is welcome and where everyone&#8217;s humanity is respected.”
He later recited from the Quran in Arabic, “In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate, say he is Allah, who is one, Allah, the eternal refuge, he neither begets nor is born, nor is there to him any equivalent.”

Iran didn’t change — the White House did.
Just three years after Congress nearly unanimously condemned Tehran as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, 53 House Democrats voted against reaffirming that same designation.
In January 2023, when President Joe Biden was in the White House, the House adopted a similar resolution condemning Iran by a vote of 420–1. The lone dissenting vote came from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) — meaning every Democrat serving in Congress at the time supported the measure.
Now, with President Donald Trump leading the United States during an escalating conflict with Iran, 53 Democrats voted against reaffirming that same designation on Thursday.
The vote came on House Resolution 1099, a non-binding measure reaffirming that Iran remains the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, a designation the United States has maintained since 1984.
The resolution ultimately passed the House 372–53, with two members voting “present” and three not casting votes.
The party breakdown showed a stark divide. Republicans overwhelmingly supported the measure, with 215 voting in favor and none voting against. Democrats were far more split: 157 voted “yes,” 53 voted “no,” and two voted “present.”
The Democrats who voted against the resolution were:
Donald Beyer (VA), Suzanne Bonamici (OR), André Carson (IN), Greg Casar (TX), Joaquin Castro (TX), Yvette Clarke (NY), Steve Cohen (TN), Danny K. Davis (IL), Maxine Dexter (OR), Lloyd Doggett (TX), Dwight Evans (PA), Lizzie Fletcher (TX), Valerie Foushee (NC), Maxwell Frost (FL), Robert Garcia (CA), Jesús “Chuy” García (IL), Al Green (TX), Raúl Grijalva (AZ), Val Hoyle (OR), Jared Huffman (CA), Sara Jacobs (CA), Pramila Jayapal (WA), Hank Johnson (GA), Robin Kelly (IL), Ro Khanna (CA), Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL), Summer Lee (PA), Sarah McBride (DE), Morgan McGarvey (KY), Jim McGovern (MA), LaMonica McIver (NJ), James Menefee (IL), Rob Menendez (NJ), Gwen Moore (WI), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Ilhan Omar (MN), Chellie Pingree (ME), Mark Pocan (WI), Ayanna Pressley (MA), Delia Ramirez (IL), Emily Randall (WA), Luz Rivas (CA), Linda Sánchez (CA), Jan Schakowsky (IL), Lateefah Simon (CA), Mark Takano (CA), Rashida Tlaib (MI), Lori Trahan (MA), Lauren Underwood (IL), Nydia Velázquez (NY), Maxine Waters (CA), Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ), Nikema Williams (GA).
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pointed out the contrast shortly after the vote, noting that administrations of both parties have long maintained the same position: Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
Republicans argued the shift reflected partisan opposition to Trump rather than disagreement about Iran’s role in global terrorism.
Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) said the change was obvious.
“They&#8217;re totally going off the cliff because of how much they hate the president,” Gill said. “The House voted on something substantially similar three years ago and nearly everyone supported it. Now you have 53 Democrats who won’t vote for a resolution that simply states Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world.”
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) echoed that criticism, arguing Democrats opposing the measure were effectively shielding the Iranian regime.
“By denying this basic fact, these radical Democrats are defending the murderous Iranian regime and standing against America,” Scalise said.
Some Democrats, however, argued the resolution was politically motivated.
Rep. Lateefah Simon (D-CA) said in a Facebook post that she opposed the measure because she believed it was designed to justify Trump’s military actions involving Iran.
“I voted against H.Res. 1099, a Republican resolution that contains inaccuracies and is designed to justify the president’s actions,” Simon wrote.
Despite the Democratic opposition, the resolution passed overwhelmingly, reaffirming the longstanding U.S. position that the Iranian regime remains the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib lashed out multiple times during President Donald Trump&#8217;s State of the Union address on Tuesday night, including in a moment when she appeared to shout &#8220;KKK&#8221; while most of the chamber was chanting &#8220;USA.&#8221; The camera caught the Michigan congresswoman on screen during the exchange.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
Is Rashida Tlaib chanting “KKK” while everyone else chants “USA”? Sure looks like it <a href="https://t.co/5nnp0or3Xn">pic.twitter.com/5nnp0or3Xn</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Republicans blasted Tlaib over the clip, with the National Republican Congressional Committee <a href="https://x.com/NRCC/status/2026505894771519709">stating</a>, &#8220;Everything you need to know about today&#8217;s Democrats. They cannot stand this country, they cannot stand its comeback, &amp; they cannot hide their contempt anymore.&#8221;
The Daily Wire reached out to Tlaib&#8217;s office for comment.
Tlaib, a Muslim whose district includes the highly-populated Muslim city of Dearborn, Michigan, wore a pin to the State of the Union that read &#8220;F*CK ICE.&#8221; She also wore a pair of watermelon earrings that apparently signify her solidarity with the &#8220;Palestinian cause&#8221; and another pin that read &#8220;Stand with survivors, release the Epstein Files.&#8221;
The Michigan congresswoman stood up alongside Minnesota leftist Rep. Ilhan Omar on other occasions during the speech to shout and wave fingers at Trump. Neither Omar nor Tlaib, however, stood when Trump asked members of Congress to get on their feet if they supported prioritizing Americans over illegal immigrants. They also did not stand when Trump highlighted the dozens of Israeli hostages who were rescued from Hamas captivity.
Tlaib mostly ignored the instructions from Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who urged Democrats to remain quiet or skip the State of the Union altogether.
“The two options that are in front of us in our House [are] to either attend with silent defiance or to not attend and send a message to Donald Trump in that fashion, which will include participation in a variety of different alternate programming that is going to take place in and around the Capitol complex,” Jeffries <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5748563-democrats-state-of-the-union-protests/">said</a> last week.
Dozens of Democrats boycotted the State of the Union and attended the &#8220;alternate programming&#8221; events, which were similar to political rallies where Democrats largely focused on bashing Trump&#8217;s immigration policies and tariffs. Tlaib and Omar opted to attend Trump&#8217;s speech and make a scene.
Texas Democrat Al Green made a similar decision and was booted from the chamber after holding up a large sign that read, &#8220;Black people aren&#8217;t apes,&#8221; a reference to a video that was shared by President Trump on Truth Social that briefly depicted former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as gorillas. It was the second year in a row that Green was escorted out of the chamber during Trump&#8217;s speech to Congress.
During his address, Trump ripped Democrats multiple times, including calling them &#8220;crazy&#8221; for refusing to stand in support of protecting children from life-altering gender procedures.
“Who can believe that we&#8217;re even speaking about things like this?” Trump asked. “But surely we can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents&#8217; arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents, well, who would believe that were even talking about? We must ban it, and we must ban it immediately.”

A massive controversy has now broken out over a Democratic lawmaker in the House of Representatives who announced at a Pan-American Congress taking place in Mexico City that America was terrible.
Illinois Democratic Rep. Delia Ramirez — who was born in the United States, although her parents were illegal immigrants and her husband is also an illegal immigrant who is a DACA recipient — declared in Spanish that she was a proud Guatemalan before she was an American. She followed by suggesting that the United States prioritizes imperialism, militarization, conquest, and control in its attempt at domination.
The White House assistant press secretary, Liz Huston, said, “These Democrats’ comments are despicable and underscore their commitment to putting America last.”
That is exactly right.
Nobody is suggesting that if you are an immigrant to this country and your parents are Italian, for example, that you can&#8217;t have pride in your Italian heritage. But to say that you&#8217;re prouder to be Italian than American while living in America is a wild statement that goes to a deeper problem inside the Democratic Party, which suggests that they are not America First, but, in fact, America Last.
Why would you be prouder to be a Guatemalan than an American? Just on a raw level, the murder rate in Guatemala is 16.1 per 100,000 compared to the United States, where it&#8217;s 6.8 per 100,000. The GDP per capita in Guatemala is $6,100 per capita. Since 2019, some two million people have left the Northern Triangle; many of those are from Guatemala.

This conference took place in Mexico City. Mexico is, of course, a disastrous hotbed of crime and corruption. It is partially run by the drug cartels. According to the 2023 Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, Mexico ranks 126th in the world in terms of fighting corruption.
Mexico has a $14,000 GDP per capita, and the murder rate is 19.3 per 100,000, down from 24 per 100,000 in 2023. This entire conference is taking place in a country vastly inferior to the United States.
It wasn&#8217;t just Delia Ramirez; other people who showed up included Rep. Ilhan Omar, who came from Somalia and has suggested on “Democracy Now!” that America is one of the worst countries in the world, saying, “To be coming out of our country, I mean, I grew up in, in, in a dictatorship, and I don&#8217;t even remember ever witnessing anything like that. To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world, to now be turned into one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets, without any regard for people&#8217;s constitutional rights, while our president is spending millions of dollars, [propping] himself up, like a failed dictator with a military parade &#8230;”
Somalia, of course, has a GDP per capita of $636. It&#8217;s one of the worst places on planet Earth. And she says America is one of the worst places on planet Earth.
Don&#8217;t worry, it is not just the children of immigrants like Delia Ramirez or actual immigrants like Ilhan Omar who say nefarious stuff like this; it is also homegrown Americans like Ayanna Pressley, who believes that America is a terrible place. She also spoke at this Pan-American conference. You might remember not all that long ago when she voted against the formation of a tough-on-China committee, because she said that that would further anti-Asian hate in the United States.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the Democratic congresswoman from Michigan and a terrorist sympathizer who literally just last year refused to condemn chants of “Death to America,” showed up, too.
Pennsylvania Democrat Rep. Summer Lee, who has suggested in the past that requiring only American citizens to be allowed to vote is actually xenophobic, was there.
All these wonderful people showed up to a conference outside the United States to rip America and talk about how terrible America was.
In a TV interview before the event. David Adler, the general coordinator for the Progressive International organization that was in charge of this event and one of the summit&#8217;s main coordinators, said the intention of the summit was to “confront authoritarian and fascist threats and shift authority from Washington, D.C. to developing countries.”
This is the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, and they are going to be the next governing wave of the Democratic Party. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hides it a little bit better, but she is a fellow traveler with this caucus. Zohran Mamdani is much louder. He is not just a fellow traveler. He is one of the main spears at the tip of this caucus. The new mayoral candidate in Minnesota for the Democrats is a person who agrees with this sort of stuff. Bernie Sanders, of course, agrees with this take on America, this sort of Howard Zinn-hatred for the United States.
You can say this is TDS, that this is specifically about Donald Trump, but it clearly is not. It goes deeper than that. It goes to an oppressor/oppressed narrative whereby America is the great oppressor, America’s allies are the great oppressors, and everybody in the world who is unsuccessful, every failed country around the world, is simply oppressed by the First World, and that&#8217;s why they are in such dire circumstances right now.
This is a recipe for more chaos around the world. It is a matrix that you use for the world in which no one has personal responsibility, particularly if they fail. That matrix on both a personal level and a national level is horribly dark. It wrecks human beings; it wrecks nations, and it wrecks the planet overall.
Yet this is the growing movement inside the Democratic Party that shirks responsibility and presents the United States as the great aggressor in the world, despite the fact that the world is inestimably more wealthy, better off, healthier, living longer, and more democratic because of the presence of the United States on planet Earth.
A bizarre hatred for the United States is a driving force behind everything from the open borders immigration platform of the Democratic Party to their redistributionist view of free market economics, to their belief that the world is better off if the United States basically lays down its arms and allows all of its enemies to dominate the world situation.
If this is where the Democratic Party wants to go, I don’t think Americans will follow.
Question: Why are the American people running headlong away from these folks?
Answer: Why wouldn’t the American people run headlong away from these folks?

Members of the leftist &#8220;Squad&#8221; are rallying behind a resolution from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to affirm that the United States cannot get involved in the fight between Israel and Iran without the consent of Congress.

President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH5KHUrg704" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> that the United States supports Israel&#8217;s defense while stressing that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons. He <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114685507052179501" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a> Tehran that any attack on the U.S. would face the &#8220;full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces.&#8221;
Massie <a href="https://x.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1934749340813476204" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on X that he would introduce a &#8220;bipartisan War Powers Resolution&#8221; to &#8220;prohibit&#8221; U.S. involvement in the Middle East conflict. &#8220;This is not our war. But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution,&#8221; Massie stated.
&#8220;Signing on,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/AOC/status/1934790910455472635" target="_blank" rel="noopener">replied</a> Reps.

Omar was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-boot-ilhan-omar-off-foreign-affairs-committee-over-anti-semitism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kicked off</a> the House Foreign Affairs Committee in 2023 for rhetoric deemed to be anti-Israel and anti-Semitic.

Massie also <a href="https://x.com/RashidaTlaib/status/1934774616964137145" target="_blank" rel="noopener">re-posted</a> a response from Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
&#8220;I look forward to supporting this War Powers Resolution. The American people aren&#8217;t falling for it again. We were lied to about &#8216;weapons of mass destruction&#8217; in Iraq that killed millions + forever changed lives,&#8221; Tlaib said. &#8220;It&#8217;s unconst&#8217;l for Trump to go to war without a vote in Congress.&#8221;
The House <a href="https://history.house.gov/Institution/Discipline/Expulsion-Censure-Reprimand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">censured</a> Tlaib in 2023 for &#8220;promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.&#8221;
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) <a href="https://x.com/lawler4ny/status/1934797078380609877" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quipped</a> that it was a &#8220;good bet&#8221; that he would oppose any resolution that Massie and Ocasio-Cortez were teaming up to support.
&#8220;Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea are not our friends or our allies — in fact they are working to undermine us and destabilize the free world,&#8221; Lawler said. &#8220;A nuclear Iran will seek to eradicate Israel and all but ensure WWIII. We cannot allow that to happen. We must stand with Israel.&#8221;
Massie formally <a href="https://x.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1935001863100699058" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> his resolution on Tuesday with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA). Sen.

&#8220;The Israeli government bombing Iran is a dangerous escalation that could lead to regional war,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/RepRashida/status/1933342047534264678">said</a> Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a member of the &#8220;Squad.&#8221; &#8220;War Criminal Netanyahu will do anything to maintain his grip on power. We cannot let him drag our country into a war with Iran. Our government must stop funding and supporting this rogue genocidal regime.&#8221;
Tlaib&#8217;s fellow &#8220;Squad&#8221; member, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), <a href="https://x.com/IlhanMN/status/1933365089316323803">added</a>, &#8220;Regardless of what Trump thinks, Israel knows America will do whatever they want and feels confident about their ability to get into war and have the American government back them up. Israel also knows they can always rely on getting America to protect and serve its needs. Everyone in America should prepare themselves to either see their tax dollars being spent on weapon supplies to Israel or be dragged into war with Iran if this escalates.&#8221;
Israel targeted &#8220;hideouts of senior operatives in the Iranian military leadership,&#8221; according to the Israel Defense Forces. Among the Iranian military leaders taken out by Israel were Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Iranian Regime, Mohammad Hossein Bagheri; Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Salami; and Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya (Emergency Command), Gholam Al-Rashid, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/live-updates-israel-strikes-iran?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Daily+Wire&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=LIVE+UPDATES%3A+Iran%E2%80%99s+Nuclear+Facility+Destroyed%2C+Israel+Continues+Strikes">reported</a>. Throughout the night, more than 200 Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck more than 100 targets across Iran.
Ben Rhodes, a political commentator and former Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting under President Barack Obama, blasted Israel and President Donald Trump after the attack was launched.
&#8220;This war will above all harm innocent people for no good reason. We live in truly cruel, perilous and stupid times,&#8221; he <a href="https://x.com/brhodes/status/1933337754261430720">wrote</a> on X.
Rhodes, who was so critical of Israel while working in the White House that he was <a href="https://x.com/SteveGuest/status/1933327150893183147">reportedly</a> nicknamed &#8220;Hamas,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/brhodes/status/1933328827284865262">called</a> Israel&#8217;s action &#8220;pointless, dangerous, and immoral.&#8221;
&#8220;Trump was either totally humiliated by Bibi or has been lying about his commitment to ending wars,&#8221; he added.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released a <a href="https://x.com/ChrisMurphyCT/status/1933345572443783580">statement</a> condemning Israel for risking &#8220;a regional war that will likely be catastrophic for America.&#8221;
&#8220;Iran would not be this close to possessing a nuclear weapon if Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu had not forced America out of the nuclear agreement with Iran that had brought Europe, Russia, and China together behind the United States to successfully contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions,&#8221; Murphy added, referring to the previous Iran nuclear agreements pushed by Obama and former President Joe Biden that failed to prevent the Ayatollah from pushing forward with its nuclear and missile programs, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/william-burns-cia-director-iran-nuclear-program-face-the-nation-interview/">according</a> to U.S. intelligence.
Predictions of a large-scale war that could force the United States into the conflict are overblown, according to Brett McGurk, the former National Security Council Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa under President Joe Biden. McGurk <a href="https://x.com/RameshPonnuru/status/1933492678689264123">told</a> CNN that Iran&#8217;s capability of responding to Israel&#8217;s attack is severely hampered since the leaders of terror groups that would coordinate Iran&#8217;s response &#8220;are all dead.&#8221;
Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-tells-iran-to-make-a-deal-before-there-is-nothing-left?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Trump+Warns+Iran+To+Make+A+Deal+Before+%E2%80%98There+Is+Nothing+Left%E2%80%99">urged</a> Iran on Friday to reach a new deal with the United States, saying, “Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to ‘make a deal.’ They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance.”

A Boston hotel owned by an infamous slumlord cancelled two Passover meals at the last minute. It hosted anti-Israel Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib instead.
The Iris Hotel Boston in Brookline — a Boston suburb with a large Jewish population — was supposed to host two Passover Seder meals on Saturday evening. But just two days before the dinners were set to take place, the hotel canceled, a source involved with coordinating the events told The Daily Wire.
The Seders had been referenced on a schedule for staff posted in the hotel, which was reviewed by The Daily Wire.
After canceling the events, the hotel hosted a private screening of a film about Palestinians with Tlaib, a member of the far-left “Squad.” A staff member at the hotel confirmed to The Daily Wire that Tlaib was at the hotel on Saturday night.
One of the hotel’s owners, Anwar Faisal, is a major Tlaib donor who has been criticized for renting “slums” to college students. Boston Magazine <a href="https://www.bostonmagazine.com/2013/12/31/anwar-faisal-worst-landlord-boston/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">once claimed</a> Faisal’s buildings had “as many rats under his roofs as undergraduates.”
Upon welcoming Tlaib, the Iris Hotel flew a Palestinian flag under an American flag on its flagpole, though the flag appears to have been mistakenly hung upside down.

Sosi Rochel, who was invited to the Passover meal, told The Daily Wire she was disappointed it was cancelled.
“My family and I were excited to be invited to a Passover meal at a non-Jewish establishment located in the heart of Brookline’s Jewish community,” Sosi Rochel said.
“Once we heard what happened and saw the Palestinian flag flying outside at the same time, we were disappointed and asked the hotel what happened. They gave a very canned statement and did not take our concerns seriously.”
Sosi Rochel, who asked to withhold her last name for fears of retribution, said she feels like it is a “jab for the hotel to choose to support a congresswoman with a history of antisemitism over its own local community.”
A spokesperson for the Iris Hotel’s management company, Wagner Hospitality Management, declined to give The Daily Wire a statement more than “your tip is incorrect” and that “the Iris Hotel has no further comment on past events that took place at the hotel.”
In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/wagnerhospitality/posts/pfbid0QK8Vn1u9SjNS6Dr6jaNt9iXzjjqfTw7CRRWqiMQCiAm8KgK1JWRwg7kygruLxNu7l" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post on its public Facebook page</a>, Wagner Hospitality Management wrote that the flag was flown as a “sign of respect” during Tlaib’s “brief stay to honor her heritage.”
“This flag should not be a contentious symbol and we would show the same respect for any dignitary choosing to stay with us regardless of their heritage or ethnicity,” the management company posted.
The post added that the flag was “only there for that day” and “has nothing to do with politics.”
“We have many Jewish guests staying at our hotel and we respect everyone,” Wagner Hospitality Management wrote.
According to public records, the Iris Hotel is owned by Adil Lamtioui and Anwar Faisal. Faisal, a well-known Palestinian figure in Boston, has been dubbed a notorious slumlord for his mismanagement of rental properties, many of which are leased to college students. Faisal has also used his status as a wealthy immigrant as a defense in housing court, Boston Magazine reported.
According to FEC records, Faisal donated the maximum campaign contribution of $3,300 to Tlaib in her primary and general election in 2023. Also in 2023, he gave an additional $5,000 to the Rooted in Community Leadership PAC, which is affiliated with Tlaib.
Tlaib <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was censured</a> by the House of Representatives shortly after Hamas’s October 7 massacre of Israeli civilians for “promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.” Tlaib, a Palestinian-American has used her platform to routinely espouse antisemitic and anti-Israel viewpoints.
“It is abhorrent that in 2025, Jewish Americans continue to be the targets of vicious antisemitism,” Sam Markstein, the spokesperson of the Republican Jewish Coalition, told The Daily Wire.
“The hotel in question should be ashamed, and its owners owe the Jewish community of Massachusetts an apology and answers as to why they abruptly canceled Passover celebrations with virtually no notice and welcomed deranged antisemite Rashida Tlaib to their property with open arms,” Markstein added.
Liora Rez, the executive director of StopAntisemitism, told The Daily Wire that the hotel’s cancellation is a new low.
“For a hotel to cancel a Jewish religious event in order to host one of America’s most notorious antisemites isn’t just offensive — it’s a staggering new low, and a blatant act of complicity in hate,” Rez said.

On Tuesday, hard-Left anti-Israel Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) accused Israel of “indiscriminate bombing” in its war effort against the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon, ignoring the precise nature of the Israeli attacks in war, their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgUM-S-A0wM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warning</a> to residents to evacuate their homes before the Israeli strikes, and furthermore, the literal indiscriminate bombing Hezbollah carried out for nearly a year on Israel, with more than 8,000 rockets resulting in tens of thousands of Israelis forced to flee their homes.
Tlaib started by claiming Israel was committing “genocide&#8221; in Gaza, then referred to &#8220;the Israeli government’s indiscriminate bombing of Lebanon.” She made no reference to Hezbollah, whose ruthless dominance has caused many Lebanese Christians to <a href="https://www.algemeiner.com/2023/05/25/the-persecution-of-christians-in-lebanon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flee Lebanon</a> over the decades.

‘You Are A Disgrace To Humanity’: Tlaib Blasted For Accusing Israel Of ‘Indiscriminate Bombing’

Lebanon

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) slammed Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) this week for attacking her faith by suggesting she could not be fair in prosecuting far-Left pro-Hamas activists who were criminally charged for their activities at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Nessel&#8217;s remarks during a Monday interview on CNN came after her office charged 11 individuals with a variety of crimes, including attempted ethnic intimidation, assaulting or obstructing a police officer, and more.
Tlaib responded by claiming that Nessel, who is Jewish, charged the students because she was biased in favor of Israel. “It seems that the attorney general decided, if the issue was Palestine, she was going to treat it differently, and that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency she runs,” Tlaib claimed.
CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper said that Tlaib did not accept an interview request on his show and refused to answer follow-up questions about her remarks.
&#8220;For her to say that I could handle a litany of other cases, and that was fine, but when it comes to anything involving pro-Palestinian protesters, I could not be fair, I could not be objective,&#8221; Nessel said, &#8220;Clearly, she&#8217;s referencing my religion as to why she thinks I can&#8217;t be fair.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
&#8220;She also mischaracterized the charges and I think intentionally, I mean, she talked about this being peaceful protesters,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;No peaceful protesters were charged in this event. And, you know, Rashida is a lawyer. She had every opportunity to call me to ask to see the evidence in this case, but she didn&#8217;t do that.&#8221;
Nessel said that Tlaib &#8220;is well known for making inflammatory and incendiary remarks that are anti-Semitic in nature. So this isn&#8217;t the first time that we would have heard these words out of her mouth.&#8221;

After seeing the widespread backlash she faced online, Whitmer finally stood up to Tlaib on Monday but did not call out Tlaib by name.
&#8220;The suggestion that Attorney General Nessel would make charging decisions based on her religion as opposed to the rule of law is antisemitic,&#8221; Whitmer said. &#8220;Attorney General Nessel has always conducted her work with integrity and followed the rule of law. We must all use our platform and voices to call out hateful rhetoric and racist tropes.&#8221;

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) late last week decried as racist a cartoon that lampooned her history of supporting terrorism against Israel.
The cartoon, by Henry Payne, was published Thursday in National Review. It showed Tlaib sitting behind her desk as her pager exploded.
&#8220;Odd,&#8221; Tlaib says in the cartoon. &#8220;My pager just exploded.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 
The cartoon was a reference to Israel detonating pagers that it secretly manufactured and sold to Hezbollah, and detonated once they were in terrorists&#8217; hands. The operation killed dozens of terrorists, and wounded thousands more.
&#8220;Our community is already in so much pain right now,&#8221; Tlaib posted on X. &#8220;This racism will incite more hate + violence against our Arab &amp; Muslim communities, and it makes everyone less safe. It’s disgraceful that the media continues to normalize this racism.&#8221;
Numerous far-left members of Congress attacked the cartoon, calling it &#8220;racist&#8221; and &#8220;Islamophobic.&#8221;
But Hussain Abdul-Hussain, Research Fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said that there was &#8220;nothing racist&#8221; about the cartoon.
&#8220;This cartoon is against Tlaib for her support of Hezbollah and Hamas,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Tlaib represents some Arabs and Muslims in America and her own opinion, but NOT all Arabs and Muslims in America, many of whom vehemently oppose her views.&#8221;
&#8220;To lump all Arabs and Muslims in American into one person —Tlaib — is racism,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We, Arabs and Muslims, are — like all other races and religions — diverse and have clashing views, and no one person embodies or symbolizes all of us, unless you think we all look and think the same.&#8221;
Tlaib has long shown support and sympathies for anti-Semitic extremists, terror groups, and attacks on Israel, and has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-rashida-tlaib-pictured-hezbollah-supporter-emily-zanotti">photographed</a> with an alleged Hezbollah supporter.

Rashida Tlaib Fumes Over Cartoon Highlighting Her Support For Terrorism Against Israel

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer refused to back up her attorney general during an interview over the weekend when she was asked about the attorney general prosecuting far-left anti-Semitic protesters at the University of Michigan.
The Democrat governor made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; when asked by Jake Tapper about Rep. Rashida Tlaib&#8217;s (D-MI) anti-Semitic attacks on Attorney General Dana Nessel for prosecuting the students.
The 11 individuals were charged with a variety of crimes, including attempted ethnic intimidation, assaulting or obstructing a police officer, and more.
Tlaib responded by claiming that Nessel, who is Jewish, charged the students because she was biased in favor of Israel. &#8220;It seems that the attorney general decided, if the issue was Palestine, she was going to treat it differently, and that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency she runs&#8221; Tlaib claimed.
Nessel responded: &#8220;Rashida Tlaib should not use my religion to imply I cannot perform my job fairly as attorney general. It&#8217;s antisemitic and wrong.&#8221;
Whitmer refused to condemn Tlaib&#8217;s anti-Semitic remarks against Nessel and refused to take sides on the matter at all, saying that she only wants to &#8220;make sure that both these communities are protected and respected under the law in Michigan.&#8221;
Tapper pressed Whitmer again, noting that Tlaib&#8217;s accusation was serious and again gave Whitmer the opportunity to back up her attorney general.
&#8220;Like I said, Jake, I&#8217;m not going to get in the middle of this argument that they&#8217;re having,&#8221; Whitmer responded.
