‘Ready for Your Downfall?’: Pro-Hamas DHS Official Put on Leave for Online Comments

(Headline USA) An asylum official in the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security was put on administrative leave this week after praising Hamas’s terrorist attack against Israel.

Nejwa Ali, an officer with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, once worked as a public affairs officer for the Palestine Liberation Organization’s delegation to the U.S. in 2016 and 2017.

She was hired by USCIS in 2019 and was promoted this year to an adjudication officer, which allowed her to vet people before they enter the U.S.

Ali has made multiple posts on social media praising Hamas in the wake of its attack on Israel, using the private name “Falastine Mi Amor,” according to the Daily Wire.

She even shared an image of the terrorists using hang gliders before attacking innocent civilians at a music festival near the Gaza Strip.

“Palestinians have been suffering under Israel’s brutal, illegal, military, APARTHEID occupation for more than 75 years,” Ali reportedly wrote on Oct. 7, the day the terrorists launched their attack.

In another post, Ali wrote, “F*** Israel, the government, and its military @stateofisrael @timesofisrael are you ready for your downfall…because we are ready for our freedom. Israel and every Israel [sic] has to remember one thing: respect our existence or expect resistance. Simple. No apologies. #freepalestine.”

The next day, Ali wrote: ​”​Free Palestine and F*** APARTHEID Israel, and any Israeli that supports the bulls***. Your privilege is blinding, apparently, but ignorance is not bliss and I hold every Israeli accountable for their governments actions, IF they do not speak against Israel and the Israeli military.”

After her social media posts were exposed, DHS confirmed it had placed Ali on leave pending an investigation.

“USCIS strongly condemns antisemitism and the use of violent rhetoric in any form,” spokesperson Matthew Bourke said in a statement.

“USCIS employees are held to high ethical standards both on and off duty, including their presence on social media,” he wrote. “Any violation of these standards is taken seriously by the agency.”

Hostage Families Furious as Biden, Bibi Offer $100M in Aid to Hamas-Run Gaza

Hostage Families Furious as Biden, Bibi Offer $100M in Aid to Hamas-Run Gaza

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The distressed families of civilians being held hostage by Hamas terrorists strongly rebuked President Joe Biden’s decision to give $100 million in aid to the Gaza Strip.  

The move, which was part of an agreement between Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has sparked outrage among the families who had hoped for a tougher stance against the terrorist group, the Times of Israel reported on Thursday

“The decision to allow humanitarian aid to the murderers of Gaza has caused great anger among the family members,” said the Bring Them Home Now organization, which represents the families of those kidnapped.

“We remind you that children, babies, women, soldiers, men and the elderly — some of whom have serious health issues, are wounded and shot — are being held underground like animals without any human conditions, and the government of Israel is treating the murderers to baklava and medicine,” the group said, emphasizing the dire conditions under which the hostages were being held.

The hostages were taken by Hamas following their deadly assault on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,400 individuals. Approximately 200 individuals, including Americans, were abducted and taken to Gaza, where they remain in captivity. 

Under the U.S.-Israeli agreement, essential supplies such as water, medicine, and food are set to reach the southern region of Gaza, primarily through the entry point in Egypt. However, Netanyahu warned that if any aid reaches Hamas, further supplies would be immediately blocked.

In response to the ongoing crisis, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant initially ordered a complete siege on the Gaza.

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant declared, as reported by the Times of Israel. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

‘Squad’ Reps. Refuse to Retract, Apologize for Gaza Hospital Hoax

(Headline USA) Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., tried to walk back her debunked claim that Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza on Wednesday, but refused to apologize for spreading misinformation.

Evidence suggests that both Hamas and Israeli forces may have misled the public to an extent in pushing propaganda that was favorable to their respective narratives. Indeed, some have begun to question whether there was any missile strike at all.

Facing widespread calls from fellow Democrats and mainstream media to fall in line with the official state narrative that the source was a misfired rocket from within Gaza, Omar issued what appeared to be something of a non-denial denial.

“Our office cited an AP report yesterday that the IDF had hit a Baptist hospital in Gaza,” she wrote on Twitter. “Since then, the IDF denied responsibility and the US intelligence assessment is that this was not done by Israel. It is a reminder that information is often unreliable and disputed in the fog of war (especially on Twitter where misinformation is rampant).”

Without even acknowledging that she herself had pushed false claims, Omar added: “We all have a responsibility to ensure information we are sharing is from credible sources and to acknowledge as new reports come in. It is critical that we have a fully independent investigation to determine conclusively who is responsible for this war crime.”

Omar was one of several leftist Democrats who parroted Hamas talking points earlier this week following a report that a hospital in Gaza had been bombed. Hamas blamed Israel for the attack, but U.S. intelligence said the explosion occurred due to a misfired terrorist rocket coming from within Gaza.

On Wednesday night, hours after the U.S. government had declared Israel was not behind the attack, Tlaib spoke to pro-Palestinian protesters outside the U.S. Capitol and accused Israel of blowing up the hospital.

“We continue to watch people say it’s OK to bomb a hospital,” Tlaib said. “We are literally watching people commit genocide and killing a vast majority just like this.”

Shortly thereafter, pro-Hamas rioters stormed the Capitol and clashed with police while demanding a Gaza ceasefire.

Tlaib refused to answer questions from reporters after the rally on why she continues to blame Israel for the attack.

Biden Says Terrorist Org Who Butchered 1,400 Israelis ‘Gotta Learn to Shoot Straight’

Biden Says Terrorist Org Who Butchered 1,400 Israelis ‘Gotta Learn to Shoot Straight’

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) President Joe Biden told reporters on Wednesday that terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip “gotta learn how to shoot straight” after a failed Palestinian rocket landed on the parking lot of one of their own hospitals.

The bomb, falsely attributed to Israeli forces at first, was actually launched by Gaza-based terror group Islamic Jihad, known for its aim to establish a caliphate in Israel.

“I’m not suggesting that Hamas deliberately did it,” Biden added, downplaying the suggestion that Hamas deliberately aimed for their own residents.

“It’s that old thing: Gotta learn how to shoot straight,” Biden said during press remarks at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany on his return to Washington, D.C. “It’s not the first time that Hamas has launched something that didn’t function very well.”

His remarks were part of his broader support for Israel’s recent actions against the Gaza-based Hamas terrorist group, following the Oct. 7 attack in southern Israel.

However, the president’s trip was marred by several verbal slips and inaccuracies. In one instance, he appeared to speak in slurred sentences, making a point about empathizing with those affected by mass shootings.

“Virtually every… mass shooting… every… circumstance where large number of people have been victimized and lost, I spoke to them… I learned a long time ago, but you all learned in your life as well,” Biden told reporters.

“When someone’s going through something that is beyond their comprehension… if they see someone who they think understands…” he added. “You know I always get criticized sometimes by my staff because when I go to these events I stay for 3 or 4 hours and answer all their questions.”

Upon his arrival, Biden also referred to Hamas as simply “the other team,” accusing them of being responsible for the alleged bombing of the hospital.

In another misstep, Biden mistakenly claimed to have visited Israel before the Six-Day War in 1967, a statement that drew criticism from his detractors.

“I remember the first time I was in Israel with Golda Meir. It was right before the Six-Day War,” Biden said.

His first visit as U.S. senator, however, was in 1973, before the Yom Kippur War—not the Six-Day War. “The Six Day War was 1967 …when Joe Biden was 25 and at college,” said John Ruddick, a member of the Australian Parliament, on a Twitter post.

Biden critics noticed the stark discrepancies in the timeframe and blasted him for the embarrassing claim.

“Joe Biden just said he was in Israel as a U.S. Senator right before the Six Day War. Another PROVABLE lie by our president. Joe, you became a Senator in 1973, and the Six Day War was in 1967. Why lie?” asked Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., on Twitter.

Sidney Powell Betrays Trump for Fulton County Plea Deal

Sidney Powell Betrays Trump for Fulton County Plea Deal

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell has entered a plea deal with the embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in the Georgia lawfare case accusing the former president and 18 others of a racketeering conspiracy.

Powell, in exchange of anti-Trump testimony, will serve no jail time and only pleaded guilty to six misdemeanors charges of conspiring to commute intentional interference with the performance of election duties, Willis announced on Thursday.

Powell, who served as an attorney for the re-election campaign of former President Donald Trump will serve six years in probation. She agreed to pay a $6,000 fine and $2,700 in restitution to Georgia, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.

The deal quickly drew the ire of conservatives who blasted both Willis and Powell for entering the contentious plea.

Powell “agreed to testify truthfully,” said legal commentator Jonathan Turley on Twitter.

“She is no longer facing a threat of prosecution and can now testify freely,” he added. “That could make her a dangerous witness for both sides.”

Some seemed to conclude that the move showed Willis had overreached—although the radical, George Soros-backed district attorney’s success in getting one of Trump’s so-called co-conspirators to turn on him may have been the intention all along in her pursuit of such a lofty and expansive case.

“Sidney Powell is absolutely innocent,” said Powell’s attorney, Molly McCann Sanders.

“The fact that Fani Willis dropped all 7 felonies tells the tale,” Sanders added. “She [Willis] had no case, but she did have the coercive power of the state.”

Although Powell herself was prohibited from discussing the case as one of the terms of the plea deal, Sanders also attempted to defend the decision amongst those who impugned Powell’s loyalties to a cause greater than herself.

“She hasn’t ‘flipped,’” Sanders claimed.

“She has made the right decision for herself and her family,” Sanders continued. “The rest of us should be very afraid, though. Why should any successful lawyer put his or her head above the foxhole in future election struggles if the weaponized state can manufacture crimes to destroy them after the fact?”

RFK Jr. Pivots to the Far Left, Voices Support for Reparations

RFK Jr. Pivots to the Far Left, Voices Support for Reparations

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Independent 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his campaign team have openly supported reparations for blacks who descended from slaves, the New York Post reported.

Rather than give away straight cash to former slaves, Kennedy’s campaign website suggests “targeted community repair.”

Nonetheless, the surprise shift in tone following his recent exit from the Democratic Party leaves many on both the Right and Left wondering where he really stands as he seeks to shed the perception that he is a fringe candidate mainly appealing to disaffected supporters of former President Donald Trump.

Kennedy’s leftward pivot positions him, in fact, to run to the opposite side of President Joe Biden or whoever the mainstream Democrat selection may be, while attempting to peel of black voters who may have lost faith in Democrats’ broken promises but be unwilling to make the leap to the Republican side.

According to Kennedy’s platform, the federal government should give money away to “rebuild black infrastructure” as well as “direct redress payments or tax credits,” targeting those who are “descendents [sic] of the victims of Jim Crow and other victims of persecution.”

He claims the reparations will save black “banks, businesses, hospitals, schools, and farms were targeted for destruction” by Jim Crow era laws.

One of Kennedy’s purported aims is to implement policies that, even if they target blacks specifically. would also be a boon to other races living nearby.

He says this is both “fair” and likely to “win the approval of all races.”

In reality, Kennedy’s leftist positions have long been present on his website. However, he launched his unconventional campaign by reaching out to sources outside the mainstream such as Joe Rogan, Russell Brand and Jordan Peterson, where he conducted a series of lengthy and discursive interviews, often touching on anti-establishment conspiracy theories that appealed to the sensibilities of Trump supporters.

As a result, some feared his decision to run as an independent could do more harm than good. A recent poll by the left-leaning Marist showed Biden running away with the election in a hypothetical three-way race with himself, Trump and Kennedy, the National Pulse reported.

Although Trump himself has made considerable inroads in poaching black voters from Democrats, conservatives may breath easy that Kennedy is now opting to emphasize his true liberal colors.

Biden so far failed to answer the far-left’s demand for reparation payments. Although he expressed commitment to reparations payments on the campaign trail, the president has since backed off, citing larger and more pressing issues.

Likewise, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who seems poised to step into the frontrunner spot should Biden falter, made a strategic miscalculation in forming a reparations task force for his state that came back with such outlandish proposals that nobody could take them seriously—forcing him into an unwinnable political quagmire that could come back to haunt him.

Despite the lack of formal support for direct reparations, however, Democrats have already undertaken numerous actions to redistribute wealth from middle and working class whites to privileged “communities.”

Biden, for instance, has committed his administration to advancing black interests in the federal government, and to addressing what it sees as an existential threat at home: white supremacy.

DOJ Declined to Prosecute Senior FBI Official for Soliciting Prostitutes

DOJ Declined to Prosecute Senior FBI Official for Soliciting Prostitutes

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Justice Department has declined to prosecute a retired senior FBI official who solicited prostitutes from a foreign national’s massage parlor while he was still working for the bureau, according to a report released last week by the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General.

The report said the senior official, who was not named, had failed to self-report a relationship with a foreign national, as required by FBI policy.

The report further said that the official may have paid for sexual favors at the foreign national’s massage parlor or other massage parlors in the same geographic area.

The OIG said it substantiated the allegations against the senior official.

“The OIG investigation substantiated the allegation that the Senior Level Employee had solicited prostitutes on multiple occasions at various massage parlors in the same geographic area, in violation of Department of Justice and FBI policy,” the OIG report said.

“The OIG investigation also found that the Senior Level Employee had failed to self-report a close relationship with the foreign national, which resulted in the Senior Level Employee having close and continuous contacts with the foreign national, in violation of FBI policy.”

However, the senior official retired from the FBI prior to being contacted by the OIG for an interview. The retired official then declined to be interviewed about the matter, the OIG said.

While the OIG can’t compel retired officials to compel the testimony of former employees, the DOJ and state prosecutors had the option to prosecute him—but they declined to do so, the OIG report said.

Meanwhile, the DOJ continues to prosecute the leading Republican presidential candidate, journalists, peaceful protestors and other non-violent dissidents—underscoring the widespread complaints about the U.S. having a two-tiered justice system.

The OIG report comes nearly two years after the OIG released a related report, which found that four FBI officials had sex with prostitutes while posted overseas, while a fifth also tried to—and all but one “lacked candor” about it during interviews and lie-detector test.

It was also alleged that one of the FBI officials provided another of the officials a package containing approximately 100 white pills to deliver to a foreign law enforcement officer.

According to that December 2021 report, two FBI officials resigned, two retired, and one was removed—all while the OIG’s investigation was ongoing.

The OIG’s December 2021 report said it referred the findings to the FBI for “appropriate action,” but nothing public has been revealed about the matter since then.

Victoria’s Secret Sees Huge Drop in Sales after Prioritizing Wokeness

Victoria’s Secret Sees Huge Drop in Sales after Prioritizing Wokeness

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) After promoting “plus-size,” LGBT and other “diverse” models in order to appease the woke hordes, fashionable lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret saw a massive drop in sales.

Now, in order to curb its financial shortfall, the corporation has decided to return to using more attractive models to sell its products, the New York Post reported.

In justifying its initial decision to use less attractive models, the brand, which has always relied on sexualizing its products to the highest degree, decided to move away from its “hyper-sexualized” image.

But now, after the failure to sell lingerie by de-sexualizing the brand, Victoria’s Secret plans to bring “sexiness” back.

Despite the current difficulties, management still believes that “sexiness can be inclusive,” according to Greg Unis, brand president of Victoria’s Secret and Pink (the lingerie company’s subsidiary that targets teenage girls with its product and marketing).

“Sexiness can celebrate the diverse experiences of our customers and that’s what we’re focused on,” Unis said, while accepting the fact that a new marketing strategy is in order.

In order to make sexiness more inclusive, the brand had turned in prior years to none other than LGBT activist and former soccer player, Megan Rapinoe.

In 2021, Rapinoe became a spokesman for the brand while insisting that, prior to her arrival, it had been “patriarchal” and “sexist” for viewing women and fashion through a “male lens and through what men desired.”

But now, with profits down a full 5% from 2020, the lingerie brand’s hand has been forced.

 

“Despite everyone’s best endevours, it’s not been enough to carry the day,” said chief executive Martin Waters, alluding to the promotion of obese, overweight and less attractive women.

“We’ve been insufficiently differentiated in this difficult market,” Waters continued, noting that, despite its commitment to diversity, the corporation’s “ambition of being the world’s leading fashion retailer of intimates apparel is unchanged.”

Ex-Trump Backer, Billionaire Peter Thiel Outed as FBI Informant

Ex-Trump Backer, Billionaire Peter Thiel Outed as FBI Informant

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Conservative tech billionaire Peter Thiel and one-time Trump ally was outed as an FBI informant in a Thursday article by Business Insider.

Citing fellow FBI informant and former Thiel associate Charles Johnson, the Business Insider article said Thiel started working with the feds in the summer of 2021.

“Insider was able to confirm through an additional source that the FBI added Thiel to its formal roster of registered informants,” the article said, adding that it’s “unclear” whether Thiel is still an informant.

“As a [confidential human source], Thiel was assigned a code name and an internal serial number to track his reporting. The information he passed on about foreign contacts and Silicon Valley intrigue was reviewed and ‘validated,’ or cross-checked against other sources, by his case agents and their colleagues,” the article added.

Another source reportedly said that Thiel’s relationship with the FBI should be understood as part of him gradual separating from Trump and the broader MAGA movement, which has vigorously criticized the FBI and other federal law-enforcement agencies.

Indeed, Thiel has tentatively signaled support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 GOP primary—though that was earlier this year, before the DeSantis campaign fell flat on its face.

However, the article claimed that Thiel was specifically instructed by the FBI not to report on his interactions with Donald trump or other U.S. political figures. Instead, Thiel was purportedly working with the feds to thwart attempts by foreign governments to penetrate Silicon Valley.

The revelation that Thiel is an FBI informant stems from a whistleblower statement filed by FBI special agent Jonathan Buma, who has accused the bureau of suppressing investigations into ties between Rudy Giuliani and Russian intelligence assets.

Buma said in a July statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee that one of his informants told him that Fuks had paid Giuliani $300,000 to serve as his U.S. lobbyist. But Buma’s bosses at the FBI prevented him from pursuing the matter, he said.

Johnson—the man who outed Thiel as a fed—told Business Insider that he’s the informant code-named “Genius” in Buma’s whistleblower statement. The statement does not mention Thiel.

In a separate statement to reporter Arthur Bloom, Johnson said Thiel’s FBI code-name is the “Philosopher.”

Johnson further said that he came forward with this information, in part, because Thiel is ignoring the corruption of his friend and business partner, Elon Musk.
