Despite its deep ties to terrorism and anti-Semitism, Al Jazeera continues to receive a highly favorable score from media ratings firm Ad Fontes. Earlier this week, Israeli armed forces rescued three hostages from the Gaza home of Abdallah Aljamal, an Al Jazeera columnist and “Hamas terrorist.” This incident starkly exposes an Al Jazeera connection to Hamas, the organization behind the brutal terrorist massacre of Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, 2023. Amid mounting evidence of Al Jazeera's connections to terrorism, the Israeli Knesset even passed legislation to shut down the outlet’s offices over serious security concerns. Yet, media ratings firm Ad Fontes, known for its leftist bias, continues to bestow a high rating on Al Jazeera. Ad Fontes labels Al Jazeera as left-leaning and deems it a “reliable” source for analysis and “fact reporting.” According to Ad Fontes, “Al Jazeera (website) is a news organization funded in part by the government of Qatar. Launched in 1996 as a broadcast station ‘for the public benefit,’ it is now a global network with bureaus in 70 locations around the world.” Ad Fontes gave Al Jazeera a reliability rating of 41.56 out of 64. In stark contrast, Fox News received a low score of 35.25 out of 62, and The Daily Wire was rated 32.26, making them only “generally reliable” by Ad Fontes’s standards. Not to be outdone, NewsGuard has a history of offering favorable statements about Al Jazeera after initially criticizing the media outlet for failing to disclose its financial ties to the Qatari government. “Al Jazeera’s connection to the Qatari government, going back to the news organization’s founding in 1996, is well documented. But until earlier this year, AlJazeera.com made no mention of Qatar, failing to disclose government ownership and control to its readers,” NewsGuard reported. Only after meeting with NewsGuard executives did Al Jazeera update its website to acknowledge that it is “funded in part by the Qatari government.”  However, Al Jazeera’s financial ties to Qatar are just the tip of the iceberg. The Media Research Center has extensively documented Al Jazeera’s role as a propaganda tool sympathetic to terrorists, particularly as it relates to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In addition to one of its columnists allegedly holding three Israeli hostages, Al Jazeera reporters Ismail Abu Omar and Mohamed Washah were also reportedly busted moonlighting as Hamas terrorists.  At least one of these so-called journalists was shown in military garb instructing on how to use military weaponry, as reported by The Times of Israel in February. But don't expect Ad Fontes and NewsGuard to hold Al Jazeera accountable. As previously revealed by MRC, these anti-free speech internet traffic cops are focused on censoring right-leaning media while apparently turning a blind eye to media sympathetic to terrorism. Shame on them. Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives.

In a shocking announcement, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) blocked a challenge from transgender swimmer Lia Thomas making it so that Thomas cannot compete in the women's category in the Olympics or any other elite swimming competition. Thomas dominated the Women’s Division of the NCAA Championships back in 2022, when he won a Division 1 title. Since then, critics, rightfully so, have called out the unfairness and lack of safety of having to compete against and with a biological man. World Aquatics is the Swiss-based world governing body for all aquatic competitions. The group noted that, due to the fact that Thomas has gone through male puberty, he isn’t allowed to compete in the women’s category. Thomas didn’t like that, obviously, and filed a lawsuit against World Aquatics claiming that it is “invalid and unlawful” to ban him from female sports and insisted that he should get to compete with biological women even though, biologically, Thomas is (and always be) a man. The matter was adjudicated by the CAS, which essentially told Thomas that he isn’t even qualified for “elite events” or the Olympics, so his little lawsuit was pointless. According to USA TODAY Sports, which obtained the ruling, “The CAS panel found that ‘for the time being’ she is not eligible to compete in elite competitions through World Aquatics or USA Swimming, so the policy does not apply to her” adding that “She is currently only entitled to compete in USA Swimming events that do not qualify as 'Elite Events.’” According to the USA TODAY Sports report, World Aquatics “welcomed” the decision noting that it was “a major step forward in our efforts to protect women’s sport.” World Aquatics also noted: World Aquatics is dedicated to fostering an environment that promotes fairness, respect, and equal opportunities for athletes of all genders and we reaffirm this pledge. Our policies and practices are continuously evaluated to ensure they align with these core values, which led to the introduction of our open category. We remain committed to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to uphold the principles of inclusivity in aquatic sports and remain confident that our gender inclusion policy represents a fair approach. The decision cited scientific documentation noting that swimmers like Thomas have significant physical advantages over biological women, which we’ve been saying for years. In response to the news, Riley Gaines, a swimmer who had to go up against Lia Thomas in college tweeted the following: Great news! Lia Thomas won't be able to compete in women's category at the Olympics or any other elite competition. He has just lost his legal battle in Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling. This is a victory for women and girls everywherehttps://t.co/fEZc47K0FA — Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) June 12, 2024 Others commented things like, “Good, no elite female athlete will have to lose out to this mediocre 6’4ft male swimmer.” And others wrote, “Is this a glimmer of hope? Can women have their sport back now, please? The trans-patriarchy had their fun, but time to get back to reality!” Hopefully, U.S. competitive swimming and other types of athletics follow suit and recognize how men do not belong in women’s sports.

On today's Morning Joe, informal Biden adviser Joe Scarborough offered his boy a word-for-word script to be used should Trump raise Hunter's gun convictions during the upcoming presidential debate. Scarborough should have saved his advice for one of those occasions when, as he bragged about on Tuesday's Morning Joe, he talks to Biden "for hours at a time." Because at this point, should Biden manage to mouth Scarborough's script during the debate, his words would be juxtaposed with Scarborough's suggestion. Embarrassing! Not only did Scarborough supply the script, he even offered stage directions [see screencap] in the event Trump raises Hunter: "Stop. Turn. Look around the stage, and say, hold on, hold on. I don't see Hunter Biden up here....I'm not running against Eric. I'm running against you, Donald. And you're not running against Hunter Biden or the ghost of Hunter Biden, who's not here. You're running against me!" Somebody should get Scarborough a director's chair and a clapperboard. "Cut! That's a wrap! Print it!" Be that as it may, the gist of Scarborough's advice was that Biden should emphasize that Trump is running against him, not against his family, and that Trump is the only candidate with felony convictions, 34 of them. This doesn't address that Trump's statement on the Hunter verdicts turned right to attacking the "Biden crime family." Trump will go right to Joe Biden's role helping his son enrich himself by meeting with and talking with his clients, including powerful people in Russia, China, Ukraine, and other countries.  Not content to serve as Biden's stage manager, Scarborough ended his spiel by issuing instructions to Biden's handlers: "Double down right now and go harder at Trump than ever before on the fact that he's a convicted felon." Yessir! On it, Mr. Scarborough! Musings: Has the time come for Scarborough to transition from informal adviser, and become a formal member of Team Biden? Consider: Morning Joe's been on the air for over 17 years.  Could the 61-year-old Scarborough be hankering for something new and exciting? What if Biden managed to win re-election? It's painfully obvious that Karine Jean-Pierre has been a hopeless flop. How about, "Introducing our new White House spokesman, Joe Scarborough!" Here's the transcript. MSNBC Morning Joe  6/12/24 6:18 am EDT JOE SCARBOROUGH: Let's be really clear about this. In the debate, cause I've heard a lot of people talking about this concern. Mike Barnicle, if I'm Joe Biden, and I'm on the debate stage with Donald Trump and he starts talking about Hunter Biden as some sort of retort against his own 34 felonies, I'd stop, I'd turn, I'd look around the stage and say, excuse me, hold on. Hold on. I don't see Hunter Biden up here. Hold on, Donald, let me check -- MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Maybe he's -- SCARBOROUGH: I don't see Eric over there. Wait, wait, Eric's not here, so, I'm not running against Eric. I'm running against you, Donald. And you're not running against Hunter Biden or the ghost of Hunter Biden, who's not here. You're running against me!  And up here, the two people that are going to run this country for the next four years, of the two of us, only one has been convicted of a felony! And you've been convicted of 34 felonies, Donald! So let's leave our kids out of this. Let's leave our family out of this. You don't want me to start talking about what you and your kids and your in-laws did in your name to get rich off of your back during the presidency.  Boom. That's it. MIKA: Saudi Arabia. SCARBOROUGH: Ends it!  And you know what? He shouldn't take any crap from Trump, and he needs to be ready. Because Donald Trump has 34 felony convictions. Joe Biden, none. Those are the two people on stage. And he shouldn't -- Biden's people should double down right now and go harder at Trump than ever before on the fact that he's a convicted felon.  

A 77-year-old Oakland homeowner was arrested on suspicion of murder after fatally shooting a robbery suspect earlier this week, KTVU-TV reported. The station said it's unclear whether the homeowner, whom KTVU isn't naming, will be formally charged or whether the homeowner was justified in the fatal shooting on self-defense grounds. 'If you are in imminent fear of your life or someone else's life in your home, you have every right to take necessary means for self-defense against the invaders.' Authorities said two men and a woman in a stolen Infiniti Q40 pulled up to a residence in the area of 98th Avenue and Burr Street in East Oakland just before 6 p.m. Monday, the station said. A witness told police the trio went on to the property, and one of the men had a crowbar, KTVU reported, adding that the witness then heard a gunshot. According to the East Bay Times, a witness saw the trio breaking into the man’s house. Neighbors told the station they heard multiple gunshots in the area of 98th Avenue and Burr Street.KTVU, citing court documents, said arriving police found the homeowner pointing a stolen Colt Python revolver at the female suspect, who told cops the homeowner shot her friend. The station said firefighters and paramedics tried to save the unidentified suspect, but he died at the scene. Police said the third suspect was found at the scene with a replica gun and was arrested on suspicion of burglary, KTVU added. The Times reported that Alameda County prosecutors had not yet filed charges against the third suspect as of Wednesday morning.The Times also reported that the homeowner was being held without bail as of Wednesday morning. According to KTVU, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office has until Thursday to make a decision regarding whether to charge the homeowner, who declined to speak with investigators.KTVU legal analyst Michael Cardoza told the station, "You're not supposed to chase them. If you chase them and shoot them, for example, in the back, that is unlawful." But Cardoza added that homeowner could still argue self-defense, depending on the facts: "If you are in imminent fear of your life or someone else's life in your home, you have every right to take necessary means for self-defense against the invaders."

Ricky Gervais has a history of speaking out against his fellow celebrities, but his response to a celebrity voting video may be his best work yet. The 2016 video features a host of Hollywood’s favorite actors sending a message: that the American people must not vote for Donald Trump. The celebrities repeatedly call themselves “famous people” in the video and drive the point home how important it is to get out and vote, as long as it's not for Trump. Or, as actor Don Cheadle said in the video, “a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society.” Gervais’ response began with him sitting up to his chin in a bathtub with his phone camera turned on himself. “Ricky G. here, wellness and beauty influencer,” he began. “As a celebrity, I know all about stuff like science and politics, so trust me when I tell you who you should vote for. If you don’t vote the right way, that’s like a hate crime and it makes me sad and angry and I’ll leave this country, and you don’t want that.” Dave Rubin can’t help but love what he’s hearing. “God, he’s just great. You must defend him with everything,” he says.
