To me and hopefully to everyone this is horrific. But something I have been highlighting here that Israeli is a rouge terrorist government drying to genocide the Palestinian people. It is horrific that a people who experienced such actions would inflict them on others. But this show what can happen when right-wing movements turn into religious domination of the government. The Israel government is now filled with extreme Jewish religious extremists who feel their holy book grants them all the territory around then that is the sovereign territory of other countries. They feel their god gave it to them thousands of years ago so they have the right to take it. Regardless of laws or norms between countries. They want it so it should be theirs. Just like Putin in Ukraine. Israel talked our demented leader into going into war against their enemy which had no benefit for us but we took all the cost and risks. The military equipment and weapons used in the genocide of the Palestinians was paid for by the US taxpayer. Some quotes below. Hugs
The UN commission said in its report, released on Tuesday, that Palestinian children were deliberately targeted and killed during the war, including after a ceasefire came into effect in October 2025.
“The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces,” said Srinivasan Muralidhar, the commission’s chair, in a statement accompanying the report.
“This indicates that such attacks, which killed children in such high numbers, were intentional,” it said. It added that it believed children were targeted collectively because the Israeli security forces considered the civilian population as a whole to be associated with Hamas and other armed groups.
Muralidhar said that by targeting children, Israel was undermining the capacity of the Palestinian people to exist and to determine their future.
The inquiry also found that attacks on healthcare and reproductive facilities affected newborns’ survival and the reported increase in miscarriages, and that nearly all children in Gaza were reported to be in need of psychological support.
It said Palestinian children, especially boys, were subjected to systemic mistreatment in detention, including forced stripping, beatings and food deprivation.

Read the full article. Watch the unreal video below.
State Rep. Monty Fritts appeared here in January 2026 when he called for executing supporters of trans healthcare, saying that “such killings align with scripture.”
Fritts appeared here in March 2025 when the Tennessee House advanced his bill declaring July 2025 a “month of fasting and prayer for the physically able and spiritually inclined.”
Last year Fritts sponsored a “chemtrails” bill that would criminalize weather control with fines of “$100,000 per violation.”
Fritts appeared here in January 2025 for his bill making it a felony for state officials to adopt pro-migrant policies.
Fritts first appeared here in 2023 when the Tennessee House approved his bill allowing officiants to refuse to conduct same-sex, interfaith, and interracial marriages.
Ok after reading and highlighting this I feel I need a shower. This is the US that trump has caused to surge and become normal. This is the front runner for governor. I put some quotes from the story below. We have to stomp this out and make it unacceptable again while they are still a small minority. But notice how they wrap themselves in as real christians and Christian nationalist. By doing that they get protection as the law states that religon is a protected class in the law and the SCOTUS has ruled that law really only applies to Christians and to pushing the Christian faith. Saddly we need to know what these people are doing and pushing so we can fight back against them and stop this dragging the country into being Nazi Germany of the 1940s. They are openly racist, openly white supremacist, and openly Christian nationalists, and they are especially open about being willing to be violent to accomplish what they want. Hugs

Reached by phone, Chisholm insisted he was not paid for the videos; instead, he said he produced them as part of Fritts’ team of volunteer campaign workers.
“Do I think my words are going to hurt Monty? No,” Chisholm added. “I’m sure there are surface-level thinkers and voters who were probably going to vote the other way anyway. But the idea that an individual separate from him has ‘controversial takes,’ I can’t imagine that goes very far.”
Chisholm appears in the two social-media videos, interviewing voters on the streets of Knoxville in one and chatting with Young Republicans after a forum in another.
View one of the Fritts campaign videos below:
In the videos, Chisholm wears an America First cap with the initials “NJF” – for America First founder Nicholas J. Fuentes – on the back.
Fuentes is the white-nationalist, antisemitic figure whose followers are known as Groypers. Despite the Jewish genocide, Fuentes has called Hitler “cool” and argued that “what Hitler represents is if white people didn’t give a f–k.”
On X, Dane Chisholm describes himself as a Christian who “fearlessly speak[s] the truth.”
And Monty Fritts, the candidate for governor, follows him.
“There’s lots of clues that we’ve been lied to tremendously about who Hitler was,” Chisholm said in a video posted on Easter comparing the Nazi leader to Jesus.
In another post, he wrote: “Hitler was a great man. We’ve been lied to, we know it.”

He has argued that Hitler’s actions “were justified by the necessity of security or defense of his people, to which Jews were internationally plotting to destroy.”
In other posts, he has argued:
COVID was part of a Jewish plot,
“The jews [sic] did kill Jesus Christ, and they have been a malevolentforce throughout history,” and
“Jews only lie when they breathe.”
In a reply to another X account, Chisholm demanded: “shut up jew rat.”
And while he was cordial to a group of young African-American men in one of the videos for Monty Fritts, News Channel 5 Investigates found a post where Chisholm referred to Black people with a shortened version of the n-word and called them “f–king monkeys”
“Don’t forget,” he added, “this racial-tension s— show is only a created distraction by the Jewish ran [sic] and owned press and socials to distract you from their jew [sic] crimes and subversion.”

Dane Chisholm post about Black people and Jews
In a recent interview, Fritts sought to distance himself from some Christian nationalists who have praised Hitler as a much-needed Christian prince.
“You’ll never hear from me that Adolf Hitler was a good guy,” Fritts said. “You’ll never hear that from me. I think he got what he deserved.”
This controversy follows Fritts’ appearance back in December on a podcast hosted by Stew Peters, who has been described by the ADL as “a far-right conspiracy theorist, Christian nationalist and prolific antisemite.”
During that show, Peters acknowledged that Fritts might be opening himself up to criticism.
“You’ll have to understand that I’m toxic. You’ll probably get a hit piece written about you just for appearing on my show,” he added.
Peters has called for what he calls the “final solution” to deport all Jews from America.
Still, when pressed about that appearance, Fritts insisted he had not made a mistake by engaging with the man known for his hatred of Jews.
“You and I aren’t gonna agree on everything, Phil – we don’t have to,” the candidate said. “That’s the beauty about being in America and in Tennessee, is we can have divergent opinions on stuff and still have respect for one another.”

By declining to take up a lower court ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has dealt another blow to the Voting Rights Act.
The court announced Monday that it will not review an Arkansas-based lawsuit, leaving in place a 2025 appeals panel ruling that ends a long-used tool for protecting minority voters from discrimination under the landmark law in seven mainly Midwestern states.
That ruling found that in the states covered by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota — private individuals and groups do not have the right to sue to enforce what’s known as Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act, which generally allows voters with a disability or inability to read or write to get help with voting from a person of their choice.
The Supreme Court’s move comes almost two months after its conservative supermajority issued a major ruling that further weakened the Voting Rights Act, setting off a groundswell in redistricting across the country.
In May, shortly after that undermining of Section 2 protections against racial discrimination in redistricting, the high court decided not to weigh in on what the legal world calls a “private right of action,” sending back to lower courts two cases brought by Black voters in Mississippi and Native American voters in North Dakota.
For decades, enforcement of these sections of the Voting Rights Act has mainly been driven by lawsuits by private individuals and groups.
But after conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch issued a single-paragraph opinion in 2021 questioning a private right of action, Republican officials in multiple states have raised a novel legal argument: Only the U.S. attorney general, they contend, has the right to bring lawsuits under these parts of the Voting Rights Act.
The case that the justices decided not to take up was brought by the immigrant advocacy group Arkansas United, which has provided Spanish-language interpreters at polling sites to assist voters with limited English proficiency. The group challenged an Arkansas law that bans a person who is not a poll worker from helping more than six voters cast ballots. In 2022, a federal judge ruled that the state law violates Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act. But after GOP state officials appealed, an 8th Circuit panel found last year that private groups, like Arkansas United, do not have the right to bring this kind of lawsuit, partly because such a right is not explicitly spelled out in the words of the Voting Rights Act.
So far, the 8th Circuit — which also found that there is no private right of action under Section 2 — is the only federal appeals court to break with decades of precedent on this legal issue.
In a statement, Arkansas’ Republican Attorney General Tim Griffin called the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up the 8th Circuit panel’s ruling “a victory for the state” and applauded the high court for “following the plain meaning of the language in the Voting Rights Act.”
The Supreme Court may take up this issue in a future case
The brief, unsigned order the high court released Monday did not explain why the justices decided not to review the 8th Circuit panel’s ruling in the Arkansas case.
But in a court filing last month, Republican officials in Arkansas pointed out that no other federal appeals court has issued a ruling that specifically addresses whether private groups and individuals can sue under Section 208. That, the Arkansas Republican officials argued, means there is no disagreement between appeals courts for the Supreme Court to resolve.
Arkansas United’s attorneys at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, however, countered that there is a “clear conflict between the Eighth Circuit’s decision and the unbroken line of cases allowing private litigants to vindicate their rights under Section 208.”
“The limited case law regarding private enforcement of Section 208 does not mean that the circuit split is nonexistent, or that the issue is unimportant,” the MALDEF attorneys wrote in their court filing. “Instead, it demonstrates just how much of an anomaly the Eighth Circuit’s decision is.”
Thomas Saenz, MALDEF’s president and general counsel, tells NPR that the civil rights group now plans to eventually ask the Supreme Court to review a private right of action under Section 208 through a Missouri-based lawsuit, which was put on hold while the appeals process for the Arkansas case played out.
The case led by Missouri Protection and Advocacy Services, which advocates for voters with disabilities, challenges a state law that bans a person from helping more than one disabled voter or voter who cannot read or write for each election, unless the person providing assistance is a poll worker or the voter’s immediate family member.
“We will attempt to move it forward, and these precedents will be cited to stop us,” Saenz says. “We will move up and hope that the Supreme Court will see that it needs to stop this situation where only one circuit in the entire country has taken a contrary view to everyone else and foreclosed private enforcement of the Voting Rights Act.”

Emma Vigeland welcomes Ken Klippenstein, an independent journalist covering security and US politics at KlipNews, discussing the 15 anti-ICE activists indicted by the Justice Department.
Every autocracy has a central ideological mission. The current United States government wants to transform America from a multiracial democracy into a White Christian male-dominated ethnostate. This fanatical mission is increasingly influencing the administration’s policies, propaganda, and visuals produced by this United States government.
Their goal is to change who counts as an American, who can have leadership roles in government and society, who can vote, and who can walk the streets without fear of being imprisoned or deported.
This agenda of authoritarian transformation is the connective tissue binding the many news stories we see each day, whether it is the Trump administration deporting an estimated 17,500 immigrants to countries they have never visited, to White Christian Holy Warrior Pete Hegseth blocking promotions by female and Black Navy officers, to the wrecking of the Voting Rights Act.
Remember that Nazi salute given by Elon Musk at Trump’s Inauguration festivities, and that other Nazi salute given soon after by Steve Bannon at CPAC? They were not aberrations or provocations, but rather the opening shots of a race war now unfolding.
That war seeks to remove agency and mobility and rights and freedoms of non-Whites, while implementing schemes of population redesign, reducing the numbers of immigrants by disappearances, mass detentions, and deportations by government authorities.
MAGA is now a potent project of White race hegemony that feeds on several vectors: the long and tragic history of violence and legal and other effacements of Black people in America, the history of anti-immigrant xenophobia, and the example of authoritarian racial utopias that promoted some while cleansing society of others.
Foreign Policy, National Security Policy, and Elections
Transforming a multiracial and multifaith democracy into a White Christian ethnostate requires a holistic approach, and for months I have been tracking the attempts to achieve greater cohesion of government policy around this goal.
In a recent speech, Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended “Western civilization” as the shared identity of the United States and Europe and depicted mass migration as a threat to that civilization.
I have also examined how suppressing free and fair elections fits into this scheme.
Here I add the tool of population reengineering, which is embraced by White House policy advisor Stephen Miller, Musk, and many other MAGA luminaries. A throughline of the far-right from Benito Mussolini to Musk is Great Replacement Theory, the idea that Whites are being outperformed demographically by non-Whites, necessitating measures to save “civilization” from “erasure” and Whites from annihilation.
The Fascists provided the template. “Cradles are empty and cemeteries are expanding,” Mussolini declared in 1927. “The entire White race, the Western race, could be submerged by other races of color that multiply with a rhythm unknown to our own.” In a speech that year, Il Duce cast himself in the role of a “clinician” who undertook “necessary hygienic actions” to defend Italian people from criminals, leftists and other political dissidents. “We remove these individuals from circulation just like a doctor does with an infected person,” he concluded chillingly.
A vast network of penal colonies, confinement zones, and prisons appeared to “quarantine” the “abnormal.” This “therapeutic” approach to governance, as official Giuseppe Bottai called it, was later applied to Italian Jews, and in Italian Ethiopia the regime experimented with apartheid-style racial segregation to stop the wrong kinds of babies from being conceived.
This idea of state action to protect White Christian civilization and the “natural family” –one man, one woman, and both white–continues among the far right today, as does the attachment to Great Replacement theory.
“I think there is a deliberate plan to erase everything that identifies us: culture, Nation, family are under attack,” stated Giorgia Meloni, a neo-Fascist, in March 2019. As Prime Minister, Meloni champions White motherhood as an antidote to population changes caused by non-White immigration.
Having the right kinds of babies in the right numbers and keeping out undesirable races and births was a mainstay of the former Viktor Orban government. “Europe has become the continent of the empty crib,” said Hungarian Family Minister (and future President) Katalin Novak in 2019, echoing Mussolini. Novak had to resign from the presidency after she pardoned a pedophile, but she continues to advocate for “saving nations” from “a collapsing global birthrate,” this time through x-y, an organization she founded in 2024.
Musk, Meloni, and Novak at the launch of x-y.
X-y has been supported by Musk, who shares Novak’s preoccupation about Whites being replaced and civilization ending. A Washington Post investigation found that Musk posted 850 times in recent months on the topic of population and Whites being “a rapidly dying minority,” which triples his posting rate on these subjects in the previous 2 years.
An Optics of White Supremacy
We can expect X and other MAGA-friendly social media platforms to increase their messaging about a supposed race emergency, and we’ll likely see the Trump administration become more aggressive in its attempts to create an optics of White hegemony in government spaces.
This idea of an all-White governing class was tested in Trump’s first term, as I warned in a 2018 CNN essay on White House interns.
There will also be a ramping up of removals of non-White immigrants from the public sphere, as the massive Amazon-style warehouses ICE is repurposing for people would indicate.
Our Identities Cannot Be Erased
This administration will never succeed in wrecking our multiracial and multifaith society, no matter how much damage it does to our democratic political system. It is who we are. Our identities cannot be taken away from us. And the attempts at mass disenfranchisement will backfire; a new civil rights movement is already starting.
In trying to create a homogeneous society and ban talk of diversity, this government is merely drawing attention to what makes the United States special, and the power of our roots, identities, and traditions. These will serve us well in the coming years as we pursue peaceful resistance to restore our democracy.
