How did a radical Islamist fool the West? Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi has joined the hordes in Hell
[Jpost] Report from the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center shows how Yusuf al-Qaradawi played the media to create a ‘moderate’ image.

Egyptian-born Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi
...Egyptian Islamic theologian and teevee preacher, well-known for IslamOnline, a website he helped found in 1997 and for which he now serves as chief religious scholar. Al-Qaradawi has also published more than 80 books, including Islam: The Future Civilization. He is considered one of the most influential Moslem Brotherhood scholars living today. Al-Qaradawi is banned from entering the United States, Israel and Great Britain. In 2004, 2,500 Moslem academics from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Paleostine accused him of giving Islam a bad name....
, viewed for decades as one of the senior scholars of Sunni Islam, died on September 26 at the age of 96.

#1  How? Easy,the West wanted to be fooled. It's easier and money can still be made.

#2  Although he was presented as a mainstream figure, Shaykh Qaradawi is best known for his fatwa legitimating terrorist attacks in Israel; in April 2001, he defined suicide bombings as martyrdom, not suicide, suicide being forbidden by Islam. In the USA he attended meeting of senior Islamists in 1988. It was the only time he was known to have visited America. Eventually, he was 'listed' and denied entrance.

-Land of the Free
Please, Please, Please Indict Trump
[Townhall] It's Kurt.

I don’t want them to indict Donald Trump, because it would be a disgraceful injustice that makes a mockery of all the norms and rules that our institutions claim to represent. But I also want them to indict Donald Trump, because it would be a disgraceful injustice that makes a mockery of all the norms and rules that our institutions claim to represent. So, I am kind of torn. This disgusting abuse of the so-called justice system is a travesty and a cancer on our country, but I would sure love to see them reap the whirlwind that would ensue from them giving Donald Trump the Brer Rabbit treatment. It goes without saying that indicting Donald Trump is a joke if you are looking at it in some sort of legal context, but only a naïve clown or unbased Republican sap would ever do that. As a matter of law in the way one would normally understand it, it is a grotesque farce. Nothing Trump did, nothing they even accuse him of doing, is anything like a crime. Nothing Trump did, nothing they even accuse him of doing, is anything like comparable to anything his Democrat predecessors have done and are still doing.

And nothing Trump did, nothing they even accuse him of doing, is anything like something that should, in any non-banana republic country, justify his likely opponent in the next presidential election trying to toss him in jail even as the current president’s approval rating drops like Toobin’s pants during a Zoom call.

But this not about law. This is not about equal justice. This is certainly not about maintaining most basic norms that once separated us from tinpot dictatorships. No, this is about power. Specifically, it is about the ruling elite and its garbage party, the Democrats, clinging to power even as the midterm election in a couple weeks threatens to utterly destroy them in the legislative branch and out in the states.

#1  Face it, the criminal party of the Deep State will do anything to destroy Trump. He is the greatest of threats to their criminal empire. Any organization that would run Fetterman, a very sick man and Biden, another sick man will do anything for power and money.
Posted by: JohnQC || 10/26/2022 10:29 Comments || Top||

#2  I don’t want them to indict Donald Trump, because it would... But I also want them to indict Donald Trump, because...

I feel at such moments it is best to forget about whatever clever thing you wanted to say, and go do something relaxing until it passes.

Only an idiot will want to test the veracity of the constitutional guarantee at such a time. Win the election, coordinate an anti-left uprising, end the bureaucracy's monopoly on coercion, limit the DoJ's omnipotence, consolidate total power.

Then make clever rhetoric, spirited debates, passionate soliloquies about right and wrong.
Posted by: Dron66046 || 10/26/2022 10:43 Comments || Top||

#3  Yes. What's going on right now is not a nuance / finesse type problem. It won't have a nuance / finesse solution.

#4  If they indict Trump they super-charge deSantis.
Posted by: ruprecht || 10/26/2022 13:02 Comments || Top||

#5  I think the opinion is more of a 'I triple-dog dare you' thing.

Aimed at lefties, if they ever read Kurt.
Posted by: Bobby || 10/26/2022 13:45 Comments || Top||

#6  Of course they're going to indict. That's been the whole point of the clown show. Blinded by irrational hatred, they have failed to game such move out to it's logical outcomes.
Posted by: Rex Mundi || 10/26/2022 14:52 Comments || Top||

#7  The "logical outcome" of everything the Left has been doing the last few decades has been the abolition of the USA. Details like whether or not Trump is indicated don't matter much compared to that.

GOP Could Gain Up To 7 Seats In Senate, 50 Seats In House, Gingrich Says
[ZERO] The GOP needs to flip five seats to win back House control. In the evenly-divided Senate, Republicans need to win one more seat to claim the majority.

With the November election day fast approaching, Democratic optimism appears to be fading as GOP candidates close in on key races across the country.

In New Hampshire, Republican challenger Don Bolduc has narrowed the gap between him and Democratic Sen. Maggie Hassan down to 2 points, according to an Oct. 20 poll by GOP pollster Fabrezio, Lee and Associates, well within the 4 percent margin of error. The poll, which was commissioned by Bolduc’s campaign, placed Hassan at 49 percent to Buldoc’s 47 percent.

In Arizona, the Trump-backed Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters is gaining ground after earlier stumbles. Polling data aggregator RealClearPolitics predicts the state to be a tossup, and gives the Democrat incumbent only a 2.5-point lead.

In Pennsylvania, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s double-digit edge has evaporated in recent weeks. A recent AARP Pennsylvania poll conducted by Fabrizio Ward and Impact Research showed Fetterman with a 48 percent to 46 percent lead, which is within the margin of error of 4.4 percentage points.

#1  ...I'm not a huge fan of Mr. Gingrich, but in this case I hope he's right.

Mike
Posted by: MikeKozlowski || 10/26/2022 7:43 Comments || Top||

#2  LOL the fix is in. Republicans will never be allowed to win, and if they win they will never be allowed to be seated. They'll declare a national emergency and martial law before that.

If the MAGA GOP has real power and investigative subpoena ability, they can uncover incredibly criminal and illegal acts by the deep state. This must never be allowed, democracy be damned.

#3  To God's ears.
Posted by: JohnQC || 10/26/2022 10:30 Comments || Top||

#4  The GOP will lose all the close races. Philly vote counting will deliver PA to Biden. Maricopa County will deliver for Kelly, maybe Hobbs. Whitmer will not lose.
If you think the elections will be fair you have another thing coming.

#5  Morning Radios about Fetterman, "Still slightly suffering from a stroke."

Sounded like he was swallowing a frog just to admit that much.
Posted by: swksvolFF || 10/26/2022 12:48 Comments || Top||

#6  The public mutterings from the Democrats that the Republicans are planning to steal the elections suggests they think they will lose and are seeking to discredit the winners.
Posted by: Glenmore || 10/26/2022 13:13 Comments || Top||

#7  Fetterman was almost incoherent yesterday. He kept repeating the same non-answer to many questions and kept interupting Dr. Oz.
Posted by: Deacon Blues || 10/26/2022 13:35 Comments || Top||

#8  Among the many lowlights of the debate was the moment when John Fetterman said in the space of barely a minute, both of the phrases, “I don’t support fracking at all” and “I’ve always supported fracking.” The problem for Oz is early voting in Pennsylvania started in early September. Tens of thousands of ballots have already been sent in. How many of those voted for Fetterman simply because he is a Democrat?
Posted by: Deacon Blues || 10/26/2022 13:42 Comments || Top||

#9  And how many photocopies have been made.

My morning radio admitting Fetterman had an issue told me it was so bad it was an unavoidable mention. I haven't had lunch yet so no video clips for me yet.
Posted by: swksvolFF || 10/26/2022 13:52 Comments || Top||

#10  If it weren't for the money and the handlers he would have to be in a care home.

And WTF wasn't there a video of him behind the wheel of a vehicle?
Posted by: swksvolFF || 10/26/2022 14:59 Comments || Top||

#11  I am interested in seeing what happens on the West Coast if East Coast MAGA turnout waves. I am a poll worker or I would watch MSNBC all night.

It Will Be Fun to Finally Be Rid of Stacey Abrams
[PJMEDIA] One of the more loathsome people to pollute the American political landscape in recent years is Georgia’s Stacey Abrams
...sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser! Loser! Loser!) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Now she wants to be somebody's vice president so she can sour grape about that too...
. Despite what the Democratic advocacy hacks in the mainstream media would have you believe, Abrams is the loudest and most vehement election denier in the land. She has been for four years now. Abrams has never once admitted to losing to Brian Kemp in the last Georgia gubernatorial election. She’s currently trailing the incumbent Kemp by double digits, so she must be wrecking herself trying to pregame excuses for the steamrolling she’s about to get.

Chris wrote a post yesterday about Abrams’s final-stage flailing, and it’s really bizarre even for a Democrat:

Stacey Abrams has now surpassed Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
as the least self-aware person in the world. Just a few weeks ago, she exhibited how tone-deaf she is toward Georgia voters by appearing in Athens during an away game weekend for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Abrams continues to embarrass herself. On Friday night, with just over two weeks to go before the midterm elections, she could have spent time trying to make her case for why Georgians should let her ruin the Peach State. But instead, she appeared on stage at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena at the Lizzo concert alongside opening act Latto (🤷), holding up a sign that read "My Body My Choice" and hawking for child sacrifice abortion.

First off, she didn’t appear with headliner Lizzo (I promise I won’t make fat jokes); instead, she showed up with the opening act. That’s embarrassing enough, but Latto was performing her, ummm, hit song "P***y" (which probably doesn’t objectify women at all) as Abrams hopped onstage.

For those of you with strong stomachs, there is an accompanying video and further explanation in Chris’s post.

Democratic candidates all over the country are still hoping that their lust for killing babies will somehow provide electoral magic for them next month. It’s pathetic to watch on so many levels. They continue to tell themselves what the American people want rather than asking the people.

Abrams is a Democrat in the Wendy Davis/Beto O’Rourke;
...Kennedyeque businessman, musician, skateboard artiste, and politician who represented Texas' 16th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019. Beto is a Latino nickname for people whose names end in "erto," like "Roberto" or "Alberto." He is seeking the Dem nomination for President in 2020 because he has nice hair and lots of teeth. He was born into a local political family in El Paso, Texas and is a graduate of a prep school and Columbia University, which is not in Texas. In 2005, he was elected to the El Paso City Council. He was elected to Congress in 2012 after defeating eight-term incumbent Silvestre Reyes in the Democratic primary. He declined to seek re-election in 2018, instead running for the Senate against Republican Ted Cruz, running a campaign that drew national attention because of his skateboarding skills. A few months after he lost, he announced his campaign for President...
mode — greatly loved by Democrats almost everywhere but in her own state. The majority of her donations come from outside of Georgia. Dems pour money into her lost cause that could be spent on whatever winnable close races they might have this year. The amount of money flushed down the toilet for Abrams and Horsemouth O’Rourke is both staggering and hilarious.

#2  She will "go away" to about the same extent herpes does.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 10/26/2022 8:03 Comments || Top||

#3  If you just allowed abortions the Democrat voter demographic would go down wouldn't it? Lesser recruits for the antifas, lesser school shooters and overall lesser vermin. It's one of those things where the Right simply doesn't understand what is good for it and what simply looks good on it.

#4  She won't go away until that gravy she calls blood stops her heart for good.
Posted by: DarthVader || 10/26/2022 9:04 Comments || Top||

#5  Abrams exemplifies the term 'Useful Idiot.' She provides both sorrow and comedy to the citizens of Georgia.

Where would we be without examples such as Abrams? Her continued involvement in Georgia Democratic politics is essential.
