Alan Dershowitz Becomes a Republican and a Yankee Fan

Alan Dershowitz switched teams. He is joining the Republican Party, and one reason is that the Democrat Party is antisemitic. Dersh, as he is called, doesn’t agree with everything the Republican Party stands for, so I guess he will be a quasi-Republican or RINOish. He has finally cut the cord after they voted unanimously to let a radical lunatic, Abdul El-Sayed, run for the Senate. The Democratic Party has become the most anti-Israel party in U.S. history. Last week, all but seven Senate Democrats voted for an arms embargo against the Jewish state, and an avowed enemy of Israel, Abdul El-Sayed, is gaining ground in the Democratic campaign for U.S. senator from Michigan. There is no denying that the hard left, anti-Israel wing of the Democratic Party has moved from the fringe to the mainstream. Until recently, there was an age gap, with younger voters more strongly opposing Israel, but recent polls suggest that the trend now includes Democrats of all ages. Republicans have their own antisemitic fringe, but for now, it remains a fringe. He disagrees with Republicans on a number of issues, but the antisemitism was the last straw: I still disagree strongly with the GOP on abortion, the separation of church and state, immigration, healthcare, and taxes, among other things. Yet I’ve decided to bite the bullet and register as a Republican. He gave up on the Democrat Party and hopes to change the Republican Party. However, and this is important, he sees Democrats as moving dangerously radical left: I believe that the Democratic Party’s hostility to Israel represents a deeper and more dangerous shift away from the center and toward a radical approach that is bad for America and the free world. So I intend to work hard to prevent the Democrats from gaining control of the House and Senate, and I urge those who share my concerns about the increasing influence of radicalism in the Democratic Party to vote, campaign, and contribute for continued Republican control of Congress. I will contribute money to Republican candidates, campaign for them, make speeches at Republican events, and urge pro-Israel Americans to change party affiliation or at least vote against Democrats. Until something changes, I will vote Republican for representative, senator, and president. I wish I could designate myself as a “foreign-policy Republican,” but there’s no such option, so I have to go whole hog. By registering as a Republican rather than an independent, maybe I can have some influence on moving some Republican policies toward the center. I have given up on trying to change the Democratic Party. It’s a break in the eternally-Democrat link of prominent Jews and the Party. I doubt the new Democrats will care. They truly are anti-Jewish. Besides, they have every lunatic group imaginable on their side, and they have illegal aliens, all pushing for communism. Republicans have some nuts, but not fascists or Nazis; Democrats own those groups, but Republicans own some fringe thinkers. Magas are moving away from those who are really outlandish. Dershowitz is also becoming a Yankee fan and dropping the Red Sox because the team’s owners, the Henrys, never forgave him for defending Donald Trump in a case where he felt Trump was innocent. Dershowitz doesn’t choose his clients according to party politics. The post Alan Dershowitz Becomes a Republican and a Yankee Fan appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Alex Jones Flipping Out Over Claims The Onion Leased Infowars

Last year, the satirical site The Onion bought Infowars in a secret deal. The sale was forced by Sandy Hook families who won a $1.3 million judgment against Jones for a hoax, claiming no one died at Sandy Hook. Jones’s hoax led to the families of the murdered children receiving death threats. The Onion is back, demanding Infowars. Leasing Infowars to Mock Infowars In December 2024, the satirical news site initially won the court-ordered auction for Infowars when it was first put up for sale. However, a U.S. bankruptcy judge blocked the sale, stating that the auction did not yield the best possible bids. Then, a year later, a Texas judge ruled on Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2025, that Infowars could again be put up for sale, paving the way for The Onion to make another bid. The current deal is not for The Onion to own Infowars, but rather to obtain a temporary license to Infowars’ intellectual property from its parent company, Free Speech Systems. The goal is to destroy Infowars and, they hope, Alex Jones. The Onion is a part of the Bloomberg group. Papers filed in state court indicate that the deal entails The Onion paying $81,000 a month to license the Infowars.com domain and brand name, as reported by KOUW.  Ben Collins, CEO of the Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, told the Associated Press that the deal could be in place around April 30th. The Onion plans to mock Alex Jones and others. Jones claims Trump backed Todd Blanche for dropping an investigation into the FBI’s involvement in the Sandy Hook judgment against Jones. Blanche did send a letter to Mr. Martin to drop the probe. However, there was never an investigation. Jones is going to fight it. He will have a new site. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Two Florida Lawmakers Face Expulsion from Congress

Two Florida lawmakers could become the seventh and eighth members to ever be expelled from Congress. Cherfilus-McCormick was found guilty by the Ethics Committee on a litany of charges, most notably for funneling $5 million in COVID relief funds to her congressional campaign. She has denied wrongdoing. There is substantial evidence that she stole $5 million. Mills faces allegations including financial misconduct, campaign finance violations, and sexual misconduct, all of which he denies. Reps. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) resigned last week ahead of imminent expulsion votes over alleged sexual misconduct. Both denied the allegations. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) signaled support last week for Greg Steube’s (R-Fla.) plan to introduce a resolution Tuesday to expel Cherfilus-McCormick—after the House Ethics Committee makes its disciplinary recommendations. Johnson declined to answer last week when pressed on whether Mills — still under investigation by the Ethics Committee — should go too. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) introduced a resolution Monday evening to expel Mills at the same time as Cherfilus-McCormick. She dislikes Mills. They argue publicly. However, it could be months until the Ethics Committee releases findings on Mills. I’m glad they are at least looking for evidence. Hakeem Jeffries signaled he is not prepared to support a retaliatory expulsion measure against Mills before he receives full due process, telling reporters he is “waiting for the Ethics Committee to report out what’s going on in terms of the investigation.” Clean house, but make sure they warrant it. I’d like to see the Democrats rooting for Iran expelled. The post Two Florida Lawmakers Face Expulsion from Congress appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Virginia Decides the House’s Fate: How Democrats Are Stealing an Edge on April 21 Referendum

As midterm elections approach in November 2026, when the GOP is expected to face hurdles with maintaining control of the House of Representatives, Virginia is witnessing one of the most cynical political battles of the year. At stake is a special statewide referendum scheduled for today, April 21, campaigned by Democrats as a “restoration of fairness.” In reality, it’s a continuation of efforts to redraw district boundaries to their advantage, aiming to shift Virginia’s current 6-5 Democratic advantage into a 10-1 landslide. According to conservative analysts at Fox News and The Wall Street Journal, if the referendum succeeds, Democrats could gain up to four additional seats in Congress – exactly the kind of gains needed to wrest control of the House from Republicans. Democrats, who hold both the Virginia General Assembly and the governor’s office (Abigail Spanberger), pushed through a constitutional amendment that temporarily – until 2030 – restores the power to redraw districts back to legislative lawmakers. The new map, already approved by Democrats, artificially concentrates GOP supporters into one “super district,” while granting Democrats a sustainable or near-equal edge in the remaining ten. Republicans, including former Governor Glenn Youngkin, have denounced the plan as “outright gerrymandering” and “theft of voters’ will.” As the pundits noted, this is a direct challenge to Virginia’s constitutional principles and the very idea of fair representation. Shadow Financing and “Honest” Labels: How Democrats Hide Their Move The referendum fight has become a pricey battle fueled by “dark money.” The group “Virginians for Fair Elections,” actively promoting the amendment, has poured nearly $65 million into the campaign. Sources cited by Fox News indicate contributions from entities linked to Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, and the national Democratic Party. Their opponents, “Virginians for Fair Maps,” raised about $33 million with backing from Youngkin and Republican mega-donor Peter Thiel. The near-identical names aren’t a coincidence: this is a deliberate tactics to confuse moderates, who traditionally support “fairness” in elections. Conservative outlets like National Review and Fox News emphasize the hypocrisy. Just a few years ago, Barack Obama and Abigail Spanberger openly condemned gerrymandering as a “threat to democracy.” Now, Obama has recorded videos endorsing the referendum, while Spanberger calls it “leveling the playing field”, a response to Republican redistricting in Texas and other states. Republicans point out: Democrats themselves have long practiced the most aggressive forms of partisan redistricting in Illinois, New York, and Maryland. “This isn’t about fairness,” declared a Virginia Republican congressman on Fox News. “This is about power at any cost.” New Polls: Americans Are Tired of Gerrymandering, but Democrats Are Betting Everything New polling paints a worrying picture for Democrats. A Washington Post/Schar School survey of Virginia voters (April 2026) showed only a slight edge in favor – 52% “for” versus 47% “against.” But Republicans and GOP-leaning independents showed much higher turnout intentions: 85% of Republicans say they’ll vote, compared to 77% of Democrats. More importantly: 57% of registered voters believe districts should reflect the actual political makeup of Virginia, not be “balanced” against other states. A staggering 48% directly labeled the 10-1 map as “unfair.” Nationally, the backlash is even sharper. A YouGov poll (August 2025, still relevant in 2026) found that 76% of Americans see gerrymandering as a “serious problem” and “unfair,” and 69% believe it should be banned by law. Common Cause underscores: 64% of Republicans and independents oppose mid-cycle (mid-decade) redistricting. These numbers explain Democrats’ desperate strategy. Despite holding a national “generic ballot” lead (averaging +5 to +6 points, per RealClearPolitics, Nate Silver, and Morning Consult as of April 2026), they recognize: without artificially inflating their margins in key battlegrounds like Virginia, holding the House is nearly impossible. Republicans counter that their redraws in “red” states were a response to years of Democratic manipulation and occurred within a normal 10-year census cycle. Weaponization of Local Referendums: The New Reality of American Politics Virginia represents a broader trend. Local referendums and judicial challenges have now become the primary tools for bypassing legislative processes and voter will. Campaign spending in the state alone has approached $100 million. For Democrats, this is an opportunity to offset Republican gains elsewhere, like in Texas. For Republicans, it’s a chance to defend the principle of “one person, one vote” and prevent Virginia from becoming a one-party state. Pundits warn: if the amendment passes, it would signal Democrats’ willingness to disregard their own 2020 reforms for short-term gains. Republicans, backed by Youngkin, Thiel, and five Virginia congressional representatives, are urging voters to say “no” for blue-backed unfair maps, for an biased commission, and for absent accountability. On April 21, Virginia won’t just vote on district lines. It will decide whether American democracy remains competitive or has become a tool of a single party. Republicans are confident: Americans, weary of partisan gamesmanship, will choose honesty. The outcome of this referendum will be decisive in determining who controls Congress after November 2026. ~~~ Mike Robertson is a U.S. domestic and foreign policy analyst and commentator, with more than 30 years of law enforcement experience in some of the toughest neighborhoods.

Ilhan Hired the World’s Worst Accountants & Thought She Was Rich

Rep. Ilhan Omar has the world’s worst accountant, bar none! He made a $30 million error, which is getting the poor, dear immigrant woman in trouble. She and her third husband, Tim Mynett, a venture capitalist and winery owner, reported assets of $6 million to $30 million. It showed incredible wealth growth in record time, which drew the attention of the federal government. It was especially concerning, since her district in Little Mogadishu is renowned for fleecing American taxpayers. Is anyone asking who her accountant is so we can protect others from their incompetence? Should I mention her first husband was allegedly her brother? The Story Ilhan didn’t have $30 million after all. It was an accounting error. She has only $18,000 to $95,000 after earning over $170,000 since 2018, when she became a congresswoman. Whatever does she do with her money? Obviously, she doesn’t spend it on good accountants. “As the busiest of people, it is very common for members and their spouses to rely on learned professionals like accountants to make calculations and determinations that appear on public filings,” her attorney explained. “While the error is, of course, unfortunate, there is nothing untoward and nothing illegal has occurred.” Yes, of course, she relied on an accountant who accidentally recorded and filed her worth at $6 to $30 million when, in fact, the poor thing was near poverty level. And naturally, nothing untoward occurred. Didn’t she look at it before she signed off? Oh, wait, it wasn’t one learned accountant; it was accountants, plural. Fox News writes: ‘Omar’s attorney said in a letter to the watchdog that the inaccurate filing was unintentional and stemmed from reliance on accountants.” And then she signed it because she had to for tax purposes, and accidentally thought she was a multimillionaire. Fox News has her filing here if you’re interested. One thing that struck me is how she can make $3,000 from a winery when she is a devoted Muslim who wears a headscarf. The mysteries continue, but I believe every word out of her mouth because I’m no racist. She co-owns the winery, eStCru LLC, with her husband, and it appears to have no active operations. In 2024, the couple claimed to have made $5 million, even though they might have sold no wine. It’s probably those learned accountants again. Although investors are accusing them of fraud. They allegedly settled at least one case. Factually concludes on the winery issue: The most accurate, evidence-based conclusion from the reporting is this: Ilhan Omar does not personally run a bustling vineyard, but her financial disclosure ties her household to an entity described as a California winery that, according to multiple reporters and investor complaints, showed little operational substance, tiny balances, and regulatory or registration turbulence—enough to justify the “phantom winery” label in political discourse, but not enough in the public record to state definitively that the winery produced no wine ever. A phantom winery, an alleged husband-brother, and she mistakenly thought she was a multimillionaire. Believe the woman. LMAO! Kayleigh McEnany just hammered Ilan Omar with the savage line on Fox: “Have you EVER accidentally thought you were a MULTIMILLIONAIRE?” Squad member Ilhan Omar got caught inflating her net worth all the way up to $30 MILLION on financial disclosures… only to slash… pic.twitter.com/0OL9lJJ7ms — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) April 18, 2026 Her district includes scandals such as $700 million smuggled through a Minneapolis airport five miles from her office, according to Rob Finnerty on Newsmax. The poor dear was blindsided by that, too. She is very concerned about it. Ilhan knew nothing about it. Wouldn’t it be something if she did have $30 million and it went out of the same airport? Imagine thinking you are rich, only to find out you have almost nothing? Currently, she is under investigation by the House. Reportedly, she is also under investigation by the FBI. Uh oh! It’s probably all an honest mistake. Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty just ripped the mask off Ilhan Omar’s latest $30 MILLION “accounting error” in an EPIC three-minute monologue. “We are NOT going to stop covering this story — The New York Times can play patty cake with Ilhan Omar all they want.” He ended with two of the… pic.twitter.com/7zP9QkUTwN — Overton (@overton_news) April 21, 2026 The post Ilhan Hired the World’s Worst Accountants & Thought She Was Rich appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.
