Antisemitism uncondemned by Democrats morphs into domestic terrorism . . . Inside of two weeks, two major attacks by fringe factions have left people injured or dead in the United States. It's part of a concerning trend that shows an 893% increase in anti-Semitic attacks over the last ten years. The Anti-Defamation League has produced a report showing that in 2015, there were 942 instances; in 2024 there were 9,354. Much of the hatred-turned-antisemitism-turned-terrorism is found on college campuses and social media. With the youth of their base being the primary supporters of pro-Palestinian causes and even Hamas, condemnation by the Democratic Party has been scarce. Just the News

University presidents let illegal acts of antisemitism run wild on their campuses because they were afraid of the woke mob. And by that I mean their Upper West Side cocktail party friends, not the rioters, although they probaably afriad of them too. These were the highest profile examples of Jew hating. And now we're seeing what comes next.

CNN shocked that polling shows Democrat middle class advantage erased . . . Nothing "speaks to Democratic problems on the economy better than" polls asking voters to choose which is the party of the middle class — a poll question that has traditionally given Democrats a "huge advantage" over Republicans, according to CNN analyst Harry Enten. "In our latest CNN poll, among registered voters, 'Which is the party of the middle class?' — It is tied!" the shocked analyst revealed. Enten noted that in 1989, polling showed Democrats with a 23-point advantage, which dropped to a 17-point lead in 2016 and a four-point edge in 2022. New York Post

The poll also shows Republicans with a solid lead on which party is better on the economy, despite all the talk about tariffs and inflation.
