Shocking Gallup Survey Finds 60% of Dems Are Anti-Israel — First Time Ever for Major US Political Party

/13 Comments/in , /by

More than half of Democrats are anti-Israel, according to a shocking new poll.

Only 33% of Dems surveyed by Gallup said they had a favorable view of Israel, while a whopping 60% said they viewed the Jewish State unfavorably and 4% had no opinion.

It’s the first time ever that a Gallup survey showed a majority of members of a main US political party had a negative opinion of the Jewish state, with the question being asked since 1989.

By comparison, 83% of Republicans said they had a favorable view of Israel, and just 13% unfavorable, with 4% not offering an opinion, the poll found.

“This year marks the first time any party group has had majority-level unfavorable ratings of Israel, with 60% of Democrats expressing that view,” Gallup said.

Overall, 54% of Americans surveyed had a favorable view of Israel and 41% unfavorable, the lowest rating since 2000. (Read more from “Shocking Gallup Survey Finds 60% of Dems Are Anti-Israel — First Time Ever for Major US Political Party” HERE)

An American “gap year” student was arrested after her newborn baby was thrown out of a Paris hotel 2nd-floor window and died earlier this week.

French prosecutors said the baby was believed to have been thrown from the Ibis Styles hotel in eastern Paris, USA Today said, citing a report from CNN. The incident occurred Monday morning, the Associated Press said, citing the Paris prosecutor. . .

USA Today, citing AFP and local French outlet Le Parisien, reported that the student in question is 18 years old. She was taken to a hospital for medical treatment following childbirth and was placed in custody there, officials told the AP.

Paris prosecutors are investigating the crime as a homicide of a minor under the age of 15, USA Today reported, adding that the mother of the infant has not been named.

The U.S. Department of State told USA Today it’s aware of the situation and is monitoring the case: “We are deeply saddened to learn of the recent tragedy involving the loss of a young life. Due to privacy and other considerations, we have no further comment at this time.” (Read more from “American ‘Gap Year’ Student Arrested After Her Newborn Baby Was Thrown Out of Paris Hotel 2nd-Floor Window and Died” HERE)

Andrew Tate and Brother Face Florida Investigation— As Gov. DeSantis Says They Are Not Welcome

/0 Comments/in , /by

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has warned controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan they are “not welcome” in the Sunshine State after they arrived there when Romania lifted travel restrictions for the pending criminal case against them.

“Florida is not a place where you’re welcome with that type of conduct,” DeSantis said at a press conference in response to a reporter’s question about the Tate brothers.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, meanwhile, launched a “preliminary inquiry” into the Tate brothers, he said in a statement on X on Thursday.

“Florida has zero tolerance for human trafficking and violence against women. If any of these alleged crimes trigger Florida jurisdiction, we will hold them accountable,” the Florida AG wrote.

DeSantis denied that state officials OKed the arrival of the self-described misogynists.

“We have no involvement in that. I read about it through the media,” he said. (Read more from “Andrew Tate and Brother Face Florida Investigation— As Gov. DeSantis Says They Are Not Welcome” HERE)

The DOGE Dividend Could Become Law: ‘The Proposed Bill Will Be Coming in the Next Few Days’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The proposal for a “DOGE dividend,” which would distribute 20% of government savings to taxpayers, has gained support from President Trump and Elon Musk — and now it could potentially be enshrined in law, The Post has learned.

The 28-year-old hedge fund manager behind the idea, James Fishback, told The Post he met with Elon Musk last week and began meeting with lawmakers about his idea earlier this week.

“The president supports this and Elon likes the idea of incentivizing people to report waste, fraud, and abuse,” Fishback told me. “The proposed bill will be coming in the next few days.”

He added, “This approach will save taxpayers even more money — it would compound the returns that doge is finding.”

Under Fishback’s proposal, households that are net taxpayers — those who pay into the government more than they receive in benefits — would receive 20% of all DOGE’s saving. (Read more from “The DOGE Dividend Could Become Law: ‘The Proposed Bill Will Be Coming in the Next Few Days’” HERE)

Trump Says He Can Get a Peace Deal Done for Ukraine as British PM Arrives

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump on Thursday welcomed to the White House British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the second of three world leaders visiting this week, as European and Ukraine leaders seek a seat at the table for peace talks with Moscow.

The leader arrived in an SUV flying both the Stars and Stripes and Union Jack.

When asked by reporters if he could get a peace deal on Ukraine, Mr. Trump replied, “Yes.”

Mr. Starmer’s trip comes just two days after French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Washington and ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s expected visit on Friday. All three leaders are conferring with Mr. Trump to air their concerns that his aggressive efforts to end Russia’s war on Ukraine will result in conceding too much to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Since returning to the White House last month, Mr. Trump has angered U.S. allies in Europe by with his overtures to Mr. Putin, hurling insults at Mr. Zelenskyy by calling him a “dictator,” and insisting Ukraine repay the U.S. for its financial support.

Watchdog Group Files Complaint Against Judge For Demanding Gender Quotas Among Litigators

/0 Comments/in , /by

Aconservative judicial watchdog filed a formal complaint of misconduct against a federal judge in Florida for saying sex should be part of the determinative criteria for legal representation in multi-district litigation related to an injectable form of birth control.

The Article III Project (A3P) submitted the complaint Thursday against Judge M. Casey Rodgers of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida for comments made during a First Case Management Conference “dealing with Depo-Provera, an injectable form of birth control, which is facing litigation.”

According to A3P, Judge Rodgers “discriminatorily suggested that sex should be a relevant factor in selecting leadership counsel for the multidistrict litigation,” stating, “females need to be adequately represented in your leadership.”

“This remark reflects an explicit preference for females in the allocation of professional roles and responsibilities,” the complaint reads. “By implying that sex — rather than qualifications, experience, or merit — should influence selection for MDL leadership, Judge Rodgers engaged in conduct that constitutes impermissible bias and judicial misconduct.”

“By suggesting that female attorneys should be prioritized for leadership roles based on the nature of the case, Judge Rodgers openly endorsed sex-based decision-making, which constitutes improper judicial favoritism and violates the principle of impartiality,” said Mike Davis, the founder and president of A3P. “It should go without saying that Judge Rogers’ statement that ‘that doesn’t mean I’m looking for every single leadership to be a female,’ does not somehow justify the express preference for women.” (Read more from “Watchdog Group Files Complaint Against Judge For Demanding Gender Quotas Among Litigators” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A transgender individual has been arrested after allegedly planting explosives at a Colorado Tesla dealership, as instances of violence and vandalism surge at other Tesla locations.

Lucy Grace Nelson, a 40-year-old male who identifies as a transgender woman, was arrested on Monday night following “several” instances of vandalism at the Loveland Tesla dealership, leading to “incendiary devices” being found at the scene,” police announced Wednesday.

The Loveland Police Department investigation, which began on January 29, resulted in Nelson’s arrest when he allegedly “returned to Loveland Tesla while in possession of additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism.”

The dealership reported instances of vandalism on January 29, February 2, and February 7.

Nelson, who was identified as a “woman” instead of a biological man by ABC News, NBC News, and CNN, was booked into the Larimer County Jail on charges of explosives or incendiary devices use during felony, criminal mischief, and criminal attempt to commit a Class 3 felony.

Another One: Flight Aborts Landing at D.C. Airport to Avoid Departing Plane

/23 Comments/in , , /by

An American Airlines flight from Boston aborted its landing at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC, Tuesday to avoid a plane departing from the same runway.

“An air traffic controller instructed American Flight 2246 to perform a go-around at Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA) Airport to ensure separation was maintained between this aircraft and a preceding departure from the same runway,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement.

American Airlines said the flight landed “safely and normally” and described the move as standard operation to give the plane more time for the other plane to take off.

“American has a no-fault go-around policy as a go-around is not an abnormal flight maneuver and can occur nearly every day in the National Airspace System,” the airline said in its statement.

“It’s a tool in both the pilot’s and air traffic controller’s toolbox to help maintain safe and efficient flight operations, and any assertion that flight 2246’s canceled approach was more than that is inaccurate,” the airline continued.

Trump Encourages Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to ‘Fire Every Single’ General Involved in Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal

/7 Comments/in , /by

President Trump argued on Wednesday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should “fire every single” US military general involved in the Biden administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The Pentagon chief was seated to Trump’s left during a Cabinet meeting at the White House, when a reporter asked about the current employment status of the generals tasked with organizing the August 2021 US exit from Afghanistan.

“I’m not going to tell this man what to do but I will say that if I had his place, I’d fire every single one of them, Pete,” Trump responded.

Hegseth jumped in to note that under his leadership, the Department of Defense is conducting “a complete review of every single aspect of what happened with the botched withdrawal of Afghanistan and plan to have full accountability.”

“We’re taking a very different view, obviously, than the previous administration,” the defense secretary continued, noting Trump’s nomination of retired Air Force Lt. Gen. John Dan “Razin” Caine to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “And there will be full accountability.” (Read more from “Trump Encourages Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to ‘Fire Every Single’ General Involved in Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal” HERE)

‘There’s No Reason To Spend $1 Trillion On The Military’—Trump’s Statement Sends US Defense Stocks Spiraling While Europe’s Surge

/3 Comments/in , /by

U.S. defense stocks have taken a major hit after President Donald Trump suggested the country could cut its military budget in half. Meanwhile, European defense companies are thriving as investors expect a boost in spending across the region.

Trump on Feb. 13 floated the idea of significantly reducing the U.S. defense budget, which currently hovers around $1 trillion. He indicated plans to meet with China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin to discuss global military spending cuts. “At some point, when things settle down, I’m going to meet with China and I’m going to meet with Russia, in particular those two, and I’m going to say there’s no reason for us to be spending almost $1 trillion on the military … and I’m going to say we can spend this on other things,” Trump said.

Markets reacted quickly, with major U.S. defense stocks dropping. Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC), General Dynamics (NYSE:GD), and Raytheon Technologies (NYSE:RTX) all slipped on the news. But this downturn is just a continuation. They have been in freefall following reports that the Department of Defense is preparing for spending cuts ahead of an audit by the Department of Government Efficiency, championed by Elon Musk.

While U.S. companies struggle, European defense stocks are soaring. Investors are betting on increased military budgets across Europe as the region faces pressure to boost its own defense spending. Rheinmetall saw a surge of 21.89% in the last 30 days and Thales climbed 19.23%. Others, like BAE Systems and Airbus, saw an increase but later stabilized.
