Democrats and their Ukraine-loving, foreign-flag-waving antics

Scores of Democrats, on the heels of a vote to pass a foreign aid package, cheered Speaker Mike Johnson -- a story in itself, dontcha think? -- and then celebrated their victory over Republicans by waving Ukraine flags madly in the air. Dems get so patriotic when it comes to other countries.

America’s college antisemitism is the Democrat Party’s shame

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates called the recent student protests on college campuses in America "blatantly antisemitic" and then condemned them "in the strongest terms" as "despicable." Well, the Democrat Party ought to know. It's the Democrat Party that created this madness.

Gen Z-ers see Hamas, not Israel, as victims

Fully one-third of Generation Z voters -- those between 18 and 24 years old -- say Israel doesn't have a right to exist as a nation. That's according to a new survey from RMG Research for Summit.org. And that explains all the antisemitic ignorance dotting America's higher places of learning in recent months.

Biden is bad for America, bad for Israel, bad all around

President Biden has ruined America's economy, wreaked havoc at America's borders and destroyed America's respect on the international stage, first by bungling Afghanistan and then by emboldening terrorists to take up arms against America's greatest ally, Israel. On epic fails, Biden is perfect.

President Joe Biden said he's "outraged and heartbroken by the deaths" of aid workers in Gaza who were mistakenly killed by Israeli's military as they were providing food for civilians in the middle of the war-torn land.

Biden’s White House must stop hindering Israel

On the war against Hamas, Israel has been steadfast: The terrorists must die. President Biden, meanwhile, has been all over the map. And this back-and-forth, frenetic and unclear messaging from the White House is having the disastrous effect of emboldening Israel's enemies -- and it must stop now.

Bold & Blunt video: Is America abandoning Israel?

The United States did a "no-vote" on the United Nations' resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire by Israel against Hamas, in exchange for the release of hostages. But this "no vote" carried a massive message, and it said bluntly: America's shifting from pro-Israel and toward the appeasement of terrorists

WATCH: Ofri Bibas Levy on her ongoing Hamas hostage nightmare

It's going on six months since Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, but Ofri Bibas Levy still has no idea if her brother, Yarden Bibas, is alive or dead.
