Democrats disgracefully called for a real insurrection in a new video, unlike the J6 riot which wasn’t an insurrection. They are calling for the military to disobey President Trump’s orders, under the guise of the President issuing illegal orders. The military isn’t being pitted against American citizenry. How absurd. The National Guard are only deployed […] The post Democrats Call for a Military Insurrection appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Twin sisters Alice and Ellen Kessler, known in the entertainment world as the Kessler twins, both died by assisted suicide at the age of 89. The sisters rose to fame in the 1950s and performed with some of the biggest stars of the day including Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Rock Hudon, and Sammy Davis Jr., per CNN. They enlisted the help of the German Society for Humane Dying to commit suicide.  “The decisive factor is likely to have been the desire to die together on a specific date,” society spokesperson Wega Wetzel told the outlet of their planned deaths. “Their desire to die was well-considered, long-standing, and free from any psychiatric crisis.” Assisted suicide in certain circumstances has been legal in Germany since 2020. During an interview last year with the Italian outlet Corriere della Sera, the twin sisters said they were choosing assisted suicide because of their “desire is to go away together, on the same day. The idea of ​​one of us going first is very hard to bear.” “They had been considering this option for some time. They had been members of the organization for over a year. A lawyer and a doctor conducted preliminary discussions with them,” the the German Society for Humane Dying said in a statement, per Today. “People who choose this option in Germany must be absolutely clear-headed, meaning free and responsible. The decision must be thoughtful and consistent, meaning made over a long period of time and not impulsive.” The Kessler sisters were born in Nazi Germany and escaped with their family from East Germany to West Germany in 1952. They launched their careers by performing at Lido in Paris, which was a popular place for cabaret performances. The twins went on to achieve international fame and also appeared on popular American television programs, including “The Ed Sullivan Show” and “The Dean Martin Show.” The official Instagram account for “The Ed Sullivan Show” paid tribute to the sisters following their deaths, writing, “Honoring the extraordinary lives of the Kessler Twins. Alice & Ellen were dazzling stars, true legends, and sisters whose grace, charm, and magic will shine forever.” Assisted suicide is becoming increasingly more common around the world, with Canada leading the charge as the world leader in euthanasia. As The Daily Wire previously reported, assisted suicide accounts for one in 20 deaths in Canada. The country is also planning to start offering euthanasia to the mentally ill and to minors.

'one of the oldest institutions'

Christian, Jewish, and other conservative leaders gathered in Washington, D.C., Tuesday to urge the conservative movement and the Republican Party to prevent antisemitism from taking a foothold on the Right. “The conservative movement and the Republican Party cannot flirt with antisemitism,” Pastor Mario Bramnick, president of the Latino Coalition for Israel, declared in remarks Tuesday at The Line Hotel. Bramnick is one of four co-chairs of the National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism. “Wherever it arises on the Left, Right, or in between, we declare in America zero tolerance to any antisemitism in our nation,” Bramnick said. “It is an anti-Christian, anti-American, and anti-Western way of living.” Another co-chair, Luke Moon, opened the gathering by recounting the task force’s history and noting that while “the fight on the Left is still happening,” he warned of “an emergency threat on the Right.” “People who were aligning themselves with the Democratic Socialists of America called for a full boycott—military and otherwise—of Israel,” Moon, a pastor and executive director of the Philos Project, recalled. “The Left did not call, ‘Enough!’ Did not stop that road.” He called on conservatives to “build a robust coalition that is willing to take on the challenge we have on the Right.” A third co-chair, Ellie Cohanim, former deputy special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism at the State Department during the first Trump administration, also addressed the gathering. A Jew who grew up in Iran and immigrated legally to the U.S., Cohanim warned that “where antisemitism rises, freedom falls. Jews are the world’s canary in the coal mine. When hatred of Jews is tolerated, it signals a deeper moral decay, one that inevitably threatens everyone in that society.” She remarked that in the coalition, she saw “Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and all faiths, who refused to let hate divide us.” The fourth co-chair, Victoria Coates, head of The Heritage Foundation’s center for national security, could not attend because she was in Helsinki, Finland. What Is Antisemitism? Rabbi Yaakov Menken, executive vice president of the Coalition for Jewish Values, set forth two tropes as emblematic of antisemitism. “If you look at someone saying that Jewish property is stolen—anything owned by Jews is acquired by fraud or deceit—or should I say, occupation—that is an antisemite,” he said. The other trope involves the claim that “Jews are unfair with everybody else.” Menken said this explains why so many people refer to the Jewish state of Israel by “a European colonialist monicker.” He pronounced “Palestine” with an F at the beginning, adding, “It sounds like a combination of ‘false’ and ‘Frankenstein,’ because it actually is.” Morton Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, attacked the idea that Zionism is a Christian heresy. He attacked those who would claim that “pro-Israel Christians are squeezed by a brain virus,” asking if that would apply to U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, or Secretary of State Marco Rubio, or even President Donald Trump. He declared that Americans can offer “no appeasement” to antisemitism, “only a war against this racist hatred against the Jewish people.” Leo Terrell Leo Terrell, senior counsel to Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights in the Justice Department, also addressed the gathering. Terrell said the president and Attorney General Pam Bondi are “100% committed” to fighting antisemitism. “Help me help you,” he said. “I’m committed. I’m all in. I will never compromise fundamental rights, the civil rights of Jews in this country.” “We haven’t done enough until everyone is treated equally, and that’s just basic common sense,” Terrell added. The Christian Response Many speakers emphasized their Christian faith, pushing back on the idea that “Christian Zionism” is a “brain virus” or a “heresy.” Ralph Reed, chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, noted that in much of American Christian culture, “being a good Christian means defending the Jews.” He recalled his parents going to school with survivors of the Holocaust. “Don’t believe the media: America’s Christians stand with Israel,” he said. Reed also cited George Gilder’s book “The Israel Test.” He argued that in every collectivist ideology, such as socialism, Nazism, or communism “because they punish success and they are based on a politics of envy and resentment, they are either antisemitic at the origin or they become antisemitic.” “Any economic system or ideology that is based on the hatred of, the envy of, and the resentment of merit-based success and achievement … will come to hate the Jew,” he warned. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, noted that “80% of what we read about in scripture took place” in Judea and Samaria, the land now euphemistically referred to as “the West Bank.” “If we continue to foster this false idea that there is this land available to the Palestinians, we will continue to foment antisemitism,” he warned. Gerald McDermott, an Anglican theologian who teaches at Reformed Episcopal Seminary, directly addressed the claim that Christian Zionism is a “brain virus.” He noted that the idea that God gave the Jews the land of Israel appears “1,000 times” in the Bible, and is “all over the New Testament.” “It’s a brain virus for Christians not to see it,” he argued. “Unity is never worth preserving if it’s used to protect evil.” A Choice in the Movement Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., the first congressman to wear a kippah on the House floor, warned that conservatives “have a choice in our movement today.” “Are we going to do what the Democrats did” in ignoring the threat, “or are we going to stand up and are we going to punch it right in the face?” The post Conservative Leaders Gather to Keep Antisemitism Out of the GOP, Conservative Movement appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Turns out everyone in our family tree has been smooching for millions of years.

Whether it’s building the wall or mass deportations, President Trump’s most memorable position for the past decade has been immigration.But in a recent interview on Fox News, the president made it clear that his view on H-1B visas doesn’t align with his illegal immigration policy.“Does that mean the H-1B visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration? Because if you want to raise wages for American workers, you can’t flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of workers,” host Laura Ingraham said to the president.“You also do have to bring in talent,” Trump responded.“Well, we have plenty of talented people,” Ingram fired back, to which Trump responded, “No, you don’t.”“You can’t take people off … an unemployment line and say, ‘I’m going to put you into a factory; we’re going to make missiles.’ … It doesn’t work that way,” Trump continued.“I mean, the truth is, like, Trump has always been a little squishy on this issue,” BlazeTV co-host Lomez says on “Rufo & Lomez,” pointing to an episode of the “All-In Podcast” where during an interview, the president spoke about preserving student visas.“Let me just tell you that it’s so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, from the greatest schools and lesser schools that are phenomenal schools also. … What I want to do and what I will do is you graduate from a college, I think you should get, automatically as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country,” Trump said.“And that includes junior colleges, too. Anybody graduates from a college, you go in there for two years or four years. If you graduate or you get a doctorate degree from a college, you should be able to stay in this country,” he continued.Lomez tells co-host Christopher Rufo that he believes Trump is compromising with Big Tech, noting that the industry says “they’re dependent on these H-1Bs to sort of continue the business model that they currently have.”While this is “actually probably true,” he’s not pleased with Trump helping this industry in this way.“It is not therefore incumbent on the United States people and on President Trump to allow them to continue these abusive practices with regards to H-1B. So while that might be their business model, it ought not to be their business model, and we may have to take some coercive action so that they change their business model,” Lomez says.However, he also believes that what President Trump has said regarding H1-Bs is being taken "way out of proportion.”“It is a statement on a news show that is not necessarily reflected in what is actually happening from a policy point of view,” Lomez says.“By this point, it sort of surprises me that people don’t understand the way he speaks publicly is not always indicative of his policy prescriptions,” he adds.Want more from Rufo & Lomez?To enjoy more of the news through the anthropological lens of Christopher Rufo and Lomez, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
