Why did Jews become Democrats and why did the Left turn on them?
The answer to these questions explains everything we're getting wrong about American Jewish history.

- President Trump has handed his press conference over to victims of Hurricane Helene and is asking them on national television to name the insurance companies that have stiffed them. Absolutely epic stuff.
- In discussing Charlie Kirk’s murder, President Obama did his classic move: He insisted he’s better than Republicans because he isn’t divisive and doesn’t demonize the other side …. and then proceeded to demonize them, including invoking made up quotes to paint Charlie as racist.
00:00 - As a person with a *strong* track record of criticizing Elon Musk, I feel extremely confident asserting that this was not a Nazi salute. Elon Musk is a friend to the Jews. This is a man with Aspergers exuberantly throwing his heart to the crowd. We don't need to invent outrage.
- One of the absolute joys of younger politicians is scenes like this ❤️
- People always ask how I identify politically. I am a MAGA Lefty. Trump's pro-worker, anti-war, socially moderate America First agenda was the Democrats' platform for a century. Now it's MAGA. I'm deeply humbled by everyone who reached out to share that this resonated with them.
00:00 - “I would never rape you because you do not deserve it.” - Jair Bolsonaro “If I see two men kissing in the street, I will hit them.” - Jair Bolsonaro “I would not be able to love a gay son. I would rather he die in an accident." - Jair BolsonaroCongratulations to Brazil’s new President Bolsonaro. It’s great to have another U.S.-friendly leader in South America, who will join the fight against dictatorships in Venezuela and Cuba, and who clearly understands the danger of China’s expanding influence in the region.
- When you call Trump Hitler, you're calling the majority of Americans making under $100K a year Nazis—for the crime of refusing to cosign their disinheritance. Multi-millionaire liberals sneer at and smear the working class for wanting a future for their kids. It's disgusting.
00:00 - This is my grandad, Willy Ungar, on his wedding day. A survivor, he lost his whole family to Hitler. Then God sent my grandmother and her huge Indian family, who adored him. On Sunday I'll be celebrating his 99th birthday with him. Here's to beating the Nazis. Life is a miracle.
- There's a tacit admission from the Left that their side is the violent side. Note how no one is boarding up American cities. The gross irony is that the Left demonizes the Right and their guns, while at the same time relying on their conservative neighbors' forbearance.
00:00 - During the pandemic, everywhere Democrats were in charge, old people died alone of broken hearts, abused kids had no one to report abuse to, poor kids went hungry and disabled kids regressed. And everywhere Republicans were in charge, this didn't happen. Where is the reckoning?!
00:00 - I just don't know how these people making $100K a year look people in the face who change seniors' bedpans for a living or drive a truck or work the railroad or stock grocery shelves or deliver their Amazon packages and say, "You, yes you, give me $10K." I just don't get it.
- The reason the idea that “both sides” commit political violence is so offensive is not only that it’s false; it’s that it reassigns to the Right to half the guilt of a crime committed against them, while not one Democrat has apologized for the rhetoric they shared with the killer
00:00 - A trans person murdered praying Christians, and the Democrats' response was to attack prayer and defend the trans community. It was a classic Leftist victim/perpetrator reversal. They associated the victims of a horrific tragedy—praying children—with their political opposition.
