According to Democrats, the Jan. 6, 2021, protest-turned-riot at the U.S. Capital was an "insurrection."

That would be, according to that definition, a plan to take over the government, throw out the current leaders, assume control of the army, the policy, the foreign relations, debts, politics, courts, and more.

Of course, the protest-turned-riot was just that, a protest by those upset with the counted results of the presidential race, and the decision to give the White House to Joe Biden while there still remained many unanswered questions about the election.

In fact, there were two undue influences on the election, Mark Zuckerberg's decision to hand out $400 million plus like candy to local election officials who often used it to recruit voters in Democrat districts, and the interference by the Department of Justice's FBI, which falsely told publications that the Biden family scandals documented in Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop were Russian disinformation and should be suppressed.

That facts have not prevented Democrats, and Democrat compatriots like ex-Rep. Liz Cheney, from proclaiming it WAS an insurrection, and claiming insurrectionists, including President Trump, not only must be charged and convicted, they must be prevented from ever being in office again.

Now that message is being hand-delivered to school-age children in Pennsylvania.

It's through a "graphic novel," or comic book, that is being published and handed out.

A Morning Call report said the publication insists students consider: "What would have happened if the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection had been successful?"

The creators of the concept say they are mailing copies to all public high schools in the state as well as public libraries.

The report explained their goal is "to convey the risks facing American democracy, and what people can do about it."

It's authored by Harvard teacher Alan Jenkins and he said he wanted to make his opinions about that event available "in a widely accessible way."

He has imagined, the report said, "a society controlled by armed militias who take over a TV network, declaring it to be 'an enemy of freedom.'"

In fact, it is leftists across American academia, business and government who have tried to impose their own censorship schemes on America's people and communications.

It also features a prominent Democrat lie that has been used against President Trump over and over, the claim he called KKK-type characters "very fine people," when Trump specifically condemned that faction in his comments about a race dispute in Charlottesville.

A report at PJMedia explains the topic is one of the "inexhaustible supply of dead horses" Democrats have to beat.

"In the latest pathetic attempt to keep the J6 version of the ORANGE MAN BAD monster under their beds and scaring the base, the false J6 narrative has been reimagined in comic book form to help indoctrinate the high school kids," the report said.

The report confirms, "There was no insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. … The series of graphic novels are chock-full of lies from the Democratic Trump Derangement Syndrome fever dream. The Charlottesville lie is there, of course, and Black Lives Matter operatives are the good guys. The authors have enlisted the help of a radical organization to make sure the potential youth voters properly understand their marching orders."

"Duck Dynasty" has been off the air for several years already, but star Si Robertson is finding himself back in the headlines with an ultra-patriotic statement on the roof of his Louisiana home.

A report from CBN explains that under a program an area roofing company developed, Robertson's roof now is red, white and blue stripes.

Robertson, who served in the U.S. Army and fought in Vietnam, got what KNOE-TV described as a "patriotic home makeover."

He's famed for his antics, one-liners, and zany interests on the popular television show.

Now it's for the look of his roof.

According to the report, the project comes through the efforts of Northeast Louisiana Roofing, based in Monroe.

It has developed a program to upgrade homes of veterans, and company spokesman Jeremy Antley told KNOE it's to honor those who have served the nation.

"It all kind of started with us looking to try to do a veterans program through Owens Corning," he explained. "But we ended up partnering with Owens Corning and we kind of made our own veterans' program."

The project also appeared on Instagram, courtesy of Jase Robertson, Si's nephew and fellow "Duck Dynasty" star.

"I had to go see it for myself and take pictures for y'all," Jase wrote on the social media platform.

He continued, "I said this on our 'Unashamed' podcast on Thursday: there's no mistaking Si's priorities in his senior years. He loves Jesus, and he loves America, and he's definitely unashamed."

Kamala Harris failed right out of the gate in the presidential debate Tuesday night with President Donald Trump.

By declining to answer the question – on the topic of signal importance to Americans, the Biden administration's failed economy has included some 21% inflation for American consumers and sky-high prices for housing, food, and energy.

She asked if she believes Americans are "better off" now, following the nearly four years of Biden and Harris influences, than they were before, but she didn't answer.

She instead boasted about being raised "as a middle-class kid," and claimed that Trump's economic plans would cost American families $4,000 a year more, not acknowledging that the Biden-Harris inflation cost Americans many times that.

She wants to give tax cuts to families and small businesses, not identifying how she would cover those costs.

She blasted Trump for a poor economy and a health catastrophe that developed at the end of his term; apparently blaming the GOP candidate for the COVID-19 pandemic and its results.

Kamale repeatedly smirked, laughed and pursed her lips while Trump was speaking, in an auditorium where there was no audience.

Trump pointed out his tariffs generated billions for the United States and he would resume them. Some of them, he pointed out, the Biden-Harris regime even kept.

He called inflation a "country-buster."

"It's been a disaster for people," he said.

On abortion, Trump explained he appointed Supreme Court justices who returned the abortion decisions to voters in the states, which is what people have wanted for years.

Harris repeatedly lied that Project 2025 belongs to Trump, a plan that he had no part in, and has disavowed.

Harris said she wants to return to the limits of Roe v. Wade, the faulty precedent created by the Supreme Court in 1973, a ruling that essentially provides for literally no limits on abortion.

In fact, Trump cited the words of ex-Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia who described how his support for abortion extended to setting a baby born alive aside, then having a consultation with doctors and the mother, and then deciding what to do with the child.

That specifically suggests an execution after birth.

He challenged Harris to answer whether she would allow an abortion in the eight, or ninth month, or after.

Harris tried to use her own party's lawfare cases against Trump to embarrass and hurt him. Her party, in fact, has weaponized the Department of Justice and other Democrat prosecutors to create cases against Trump.

Probably the major case was dismissed; others are on appeal and legal experts have condemned the Democrats for their campaign to create claims against Trump.

He responded, "It's called weaponization. They weaponized the Justice Department. Every one of those cases…"

He cited the "total victory" he had in the "documents" case, and when Harris claimed Trump said he would "terminate" the Constitution, he noted, "She's the one who weaponized. I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things they said about me. They are the ones who are a threat to democracy."

On the topic of the Jan. 6, 2021, protest-turned-riot at the U.S. Capitol, Trump took the opportunity to interject with, "I'm speaking … sound familiar," referring to Harris' own penchant for using that same term.

Trump was asked if there was anything he regretted about that day, he pointed out he made a speech, and knew the day's events could be volatile, so he contacted Nancy Pelosi and the Washington, D.C., mayor to offer 10,000 troops to maintain security.

He pointed out that they refused.

"They rejected me," he said. He noted Nancy Pelosi's own daughter has released a video in which Pelosi admits she "is fully responsible for what happened."

Harris said she was at the Capitol that day as "acting senator."

She accused Trump of inciting a "violent mob" to attack the Capitol.

She said he was "indicted and impeached" for that, but failed to note that that impeachment in the House was overturned by Trump's acquittal on those charges in the Senate.

Then she brought up the Charlottesville lie. That is a oft-repeated Democrat falsehood about Trump's comments regarding a race issue in that city. The Democrats' claim that he praised KKK-type radicals has been debunked even by the leftist Snopes.

Harris claimed that Trump's inability to "process" that he lost the 2020 race was worrying, to which Trump said the court cases that drew praise from Democrats were decided on technicalities, which in fact is what happened.

Most of the Trump campaign's challenges to the 2020 results ended up being dismissed, often by leftist judges, on issues such as standing.

On the Hamas terror against Israel, Harris said Israel has a right to defend itself, but complained that Palestinian "children, mothers" were being killed.

"We must chart a course for a two-state solution," she said, insisting on security of Israel and the Palestinians, equally.

Trump said the conflict never would have happened if he had been president. Likewise, he said, Putin never would have invaded Ukraine.

"She hates Israel. She wouldn't even meet with Netanyahu when he went to Congress," he said. "She went to a sorority party. She hates Israel. At the same time she hates the Arab population…:"

He pointed out the tens of billions of dollars the Biden administration gave to Iran, which is the prime sponsor of terror in the Middle East.

In a move that likely will attract a lot of support from voters who have been hit by those 20% inflation penalties courtesy of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris regime, President Donald Trump wants an audit.

Of the U.S. government.

The ENTIRE U.S. government.

To crack down on fraud, waste and worse, all of which costs voters their paychecks.

Is it the Post-Millennial that reported Trump promised a "Government Efficiency Commission" to audit and analyze the finances of the federal government – and all of its trillions of dollars in spending.

X Space chief Elon Musk had suggested the idea.

Trump said, "I will create a Government Efficiency Commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government — and making recommendations for drastic reforms."

He pointed out that Kamala Harris is inextricably linked to the policies and failures of the Biden-Harris administration and the 20% inflation they have produced to hurt Americans during her tenure.

And he warned Harris would double down if elected in November, with her promise of a corporate tax rate of 28%. Trump's proposal is 15%.

He also warned of the Harris plan for a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains. That means some high-dollar voters would have to pay taxes on increase in their property or asset values, even though they've gotten none of that increase because they haven't sold.

His economic plan, his supporters say, would bring inflation down rapidly and trigger a huge growth in the economy.

A doctor in Wyoming is pursuing a First Amendment lawsuit against Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon after the state's chief executive forced him off a health panel because of his private views about transgender body mutilations on children.

Ironically, state lawmakers adopted and the Republican governor himself signed into law the proposal, known as Chloe's Law, that was in dispute.

That law restricts physicians' abilities to perform gender reassignment surgeries on minors.

Pressure is mounting in the East as the People's Republic of China continues aggressively to engage with surrounding nations. Attempts by the U.S. to calm the situation have been met with several stern warnings of war.

U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is in Beijing this week in an effort to stabilize relations between the U.S. and China. Sullivan met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, to discuss various issues, including Taiwan.

"President Biden has been very clear in his conversations with President Xi that he is committed to managing this important relationship responsibly," Sullivan said.

In a statement from the White House released Wednesday, it details Sullivan's meeting, and reiterated Sullivan's comments about the Biden administration being committed to maintaining channels of communication between the two nations.

"The two sides held candid, substantive, and constructive discussions on a range of bilateral, regional, and global issues. They discussed progress and next steps on implementation of the Woodside Summit commitments, including counternarcotics, military-to-military communications, and AI safety and risk," the White House said.

The U.S. is taking steps to prevent U.S. technologies from being used to undermine national security, and Sullivan raised concerns with Wang over China's unfair trade policies and practices, according to White House officials.

Sullivan further voiced concerns to Wang over China's growing aggression towards Taiwan and the maritime attacks on Philippine vessels in the South China Sea.

"Mr. Sullivan reaffirmed the United States' commitment to defending its Indo–Pacific allies and expressed concern about the PRC's destabilizing actions against lawful Philippine maritime operations in the South China Sea," the White House said.

According to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, Wang reportedly issued a warning to Sullivan about the U.S. being involved in disputes between China and U.S. allies.

"The United States must not use bilateral treaties as an excuse to undermine China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, nor should it support or condone the Philippines's actions of infringement," Wang said.

Over the past week, China has repeatedly used force against Philippine vessels near the Spratly Islands, a rich fishing ground within the Philippine Economic Exclusion Zone.

Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Jay Tarriela said in a post on X China used 40 vessels to block supplies being delivered to soldiers who are stationed in Sabina Shoal, an atoll within the island chain.

Collin Koh, a senior fellow at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, told CNN the Philippines is trying to avoid confrontation with China.

"China is deliberately escalating the situation, with a likely intention to test how far Washington would support Manila…It's a high-stakes game for Manila. The domestic circumstances all point to the very fact that now Sabina Shoal is where you could not yield an inch to the Chinese," Koh said.

Koh pointed out on X the Chinese are attempting to blame the U.S. for their recent actions against the Philippines.

China Daily recently published an editorial on how the U.S. should respect China's sovereignty, because the U.S. expects the same.

However, China has been caught on more than one occasion stealing intellectual property from the U.S., as well as using Chinese nationals to position themselves within American companies, to steal information and spy on Chinese dissidents in the U.S.

According to a report from Lumen's Black Lotus Labs, a Chinese state–sponsored hacking group was observed infiltrating internet service providers, managed service providers, and IT sectors, exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Versa Director servers since at least June 2024.

"Given the severity of the vulnerability, the implications of compromised Versa Director systems, and the time that has now elapsed to allow Versa customers to patch the vulnerability, Black Lotus Labs felt it was appropriate to release this information at this time. Lumen Technologies shared threat intelligence to warn appropriate U.S. Government agencies of the emerging risks that could impact our nation's strategic assets," the report states.

FBI Director Richard Wray said during a congressional hearing six months ago, that Chinese hackers pose a very real threat to the American people.

"PRC hackers are targeting our critical infrastructure; our water treatment plants, our electrical grid, our oil and natural gas pipelines, our transportation systems, and the risk that poses to every American requires our attention now. China's hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real world harm to American citizens and communities," Wray said.

Russia, one of China's closest allies, issued a World War III warning over U.S. involvement in its war with Ukraine, when Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated the U.S. is overly confident the war would only stay in Europe.

"Americans have this direct association, these conversations, talk of a world war. They think if this happens, it would only concern countries in Europe, which is a very showing thing that reflects the mentality of those duo–political strategists in the U.S., because they are confident they will just be safe across the ocean,": Lavrov said.

Lavrov hinted at the possible use of nuclear weapons by Russia in the event World War III does indeed happen.

"One has to understand that we have our own doctrine, a doctrine of using nuclear weapons amongst other things, and we are making adjustments to this doctrine, and the Americans are well aware of these doctrines," Lavrov said.

Lavrov stated Americans expect other nations to "do their dirty job" for them, and warned against the U.S. "playing with fire."

"The West does not want to avoid escalation. The West, as they say, is "asking for it," Lavrov said.

Kamala Harris, the word-salad candidate in the 2024 presidential race, will be interviewed by CNN on Thursday.

The Democrat has been under harsh criticism for her decision, ever since her coronation with the title of nominee after Democrat party elite pushed the aging and mentally failing Joe Biden under the bus just weeks ago, to refuse to answer questions, for refusing to be interviewed, for essentially trying to hide what she thinks and believes from voters.

And now that she's agreed to be interviewed on CNN, there's criticism for her requirement to have her "Emotional Support Governor," VP candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on screen to help her.

Scott Jennings, a former special assistant to President George W. Bush and now a columnist for multiple publications, said the decision is evidence of a lack of Democrat party confidence in her political ability, and voters need to wonder if Harris can't even do the simplest of political tasks, what would she not be able to do as president.

He said, "I have great confidence in Dana (Bash, the interviewer) and CNN to do this," he said. "I think it's incredibly weak, weak sauce, to show up with your running mate. The fact that they don't have enough confidence in her to let her sit herself, the actual top of the ticket, and do a single interview …

"In fact, I think the handwringing and the gyrations over this over the last month show a troubling lack of confidence in her political ability which also makes you wonder as a voter what kind of president would you be if this kind of a small time decision, can we do an interview or not, what does that look like your decision making process and so on."

He said, "I think Republicans are going to think it's pretty weak to show up with effectively someone to take up half the time."

Gov. Tim Walz's ban on faithful Christians from teaching in Minnesota's public is set to hit the state's schools in just months.

It also bans adherent Jews and Muslims.

And a report at the Federalist warns that he is "poised to make similar bigoted, totalitarian and unconstitutional policies" for the entire nation, "should he be elected vice president."

The report from the publication's executive editor, Joy Pullmann, explains the state has new teacher licensing rules that will take effect in July 2025, and they will "ban practicing Christians, Jews, and Muslims from teaching in public schools."

It's because under the plans of the leftist governor, the state will demand that teacher license applicants "affirm transgenderism and race Marxism."

No license? No job for anyone to teach in the state's public schools. Or private schools if they require that certification.

Specifically, the rules will demand: "The teacher fosters an environment that ensures student identities such as race/ethnicity, national origin, language, sex and gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical/developmental/emotional ability, socioeconomic class, and religious beliefs are historically and socially contextualized, affirmed, and incorporated into a learning environment where students are empowered to learn and contribute as their whole selves."

Administrative law judges already have approved the anti-faith ideologies.

The report pointed out that universities also are impacted because they must now provide the anti-Christian training.

The state already was demanding that teachers, renewing licenses, demonstrate "cultural competency," which includes evidence of "self-reflection and discussion" of the state's new ideologies.

Doug Seaton, of the Upper Midwest Law Center, said some "Christian" universities will obey, and others will not, but will disobey "quietly," to sue only when they are punished.

The report pointed out, "Faithful members of the world's largest and oldest religions cannot in good conscience 'affirm' non-heterosexual sexual orientations and gender identities. Christians who do so publicly deny their faith, something Jesus Christ said endangers a person's soul and eternal bliss after death: 'Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven' (Matthew 10:32, 33)."

The state action actually is called "compelled speech," the report noted, which "is clearly unconstitutional."

Seaton said, "They're essentially requiring people to affirm these ideas that they don't really believe, in many cases, as a condition of being a public school teacher or being part of a program to be a licensed public school teacher. You can't force that kind of speech, you can't require adherence to ideas that aren't believed."

The Federalist report noted an investigation by the Wall Street Journal found that "ethnic studies" demands in Minnesota "mirror" the demands for affirming sexual deviations.

For example, the report said, "Fourth-graders must 'identify the processes and impacts of colonization and examine how discrimination and the oppression of various racial and ethnic groups have produced resistance movements.' High-school students are told to 'develop an analysis of racial capitalism' and 'anti-blackness' and are taught to view themselves as members of 'racialized hierarchies' based on 'dominant European beauty standards.'"

A Child Protection League analysis notes the state demands teachers "understand" that teaching is shaped by race and ethnicity, to the detriment of some "races," and that those include indigenous people, blacks, "Latinx Americans" and others.

A state lawmaker earlier condemned the "horrific chaos" Walz has brought to schools by demanding that districts "report student discipline by race and require equal outcomes."

The results could be predicted: the student achievement in the state is plummeting.

Kamala Harris frantically has been moving "to the middle" on many divisive political issues ever since Democratic Party elites handpicked her to replace the aging and mentally failing Joe Biden as the party's presidential candidate this November.

Her strategy of simply refusing to post her policy plans, refusing to answer reporters' questions and refusing to be available for interviews has worked for her, as she has gone more or less silent on critical issues now facing American voters – including today's ever-more-radical gender ideology revolution.

It's not just homosexuality, lesbianism and same-sex relationships as a few years ago. It's the ideological teaching that boys are actually girls if they think they are, and vice versa. It's the ideology that there are dozens of different genders, not just male and female. It's the powerful chemicals used to delay puberty in children, which can alter them for life, including making the sterile. It's the surgical body mutilations including double mastectomies and genital amputations and other shocking procedures on youngsters too young to drive a car or buy cigarettes, often without their parents' knowledge or consent.

A report in the Daily Signal confirms that Harris has simply "avoided addressing" many such questions.

That's perhaps because the "far-left position" on these issues that Harris has always supported is something that most Americans reject. And Harris, as vice president for Joe Biden, almost always has been a front-line advocate of LGBTQ extremism.

Indeed, LGBTQ organizations know Harris is in their camp, and thus are "eagerly backing" her, as well as VP candidate Tim Walz, also a far-leftist who in his own state of Minnesota has pushed for radical actions, including the state actually taking custody of children should their own parents not sufficiently support the latest LGBTQ beliefs.

Walz, in fact, signed an executive order creating a "right" to trans chemicals and surgeries in his state.

The report noted that LGBTQ promoters including the American Civil Liberties Union, GLAAD, Advocates for Trans Equality, and the Human Rights Campaign all are pushing a fear-mongering campaign that suggests Republicans are intent on carrying out "anti-LGBTQ" plans.

Those would include protecting children from transgender surgeries.

Harris' decision to go silent is understandable, as those agenda points that have been created by far-left organizations do not have mainstream American support.

"The White House, which has previously embraced 'medical care' for trans-identifying kids, appears to be aware of this. In early July, the White House flip-flopped on the topic, first telling news outlets that the Biden-Harris administration did not support transgender surgeries for children, before reaffirming support for irreversible procedures for minors after 'intense pressure' from LGBTQ groups," the report explained.

The Biden-Harris administration, in fact, has been fully on board with trans promotions, naming Rachel Levine, a man identifying as a woman, to a critical federal post. He reportedly pressured the World Professional Association for Transgender Health to drop age requirements for minors to be subjected to those extreme and irreversible body alterations.

Levine's office has claimed that those "early" treatments are important for children, based on the largely manufactured claim that children are "at risk of self-harm" without them.

Actually, research has confirmed that the likelihood of suicide attempts increases after "so-called gender-affirming care."

GLAAD, which originally was the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, openly demands the chemical and surgical treatments, and assures its supporters the Biden-Harris administration is the "most pro-LGBTQ presidency in history."

It endorsed her pick of Walz, too, explaining, "Vice President Harris' choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz underscores a longstanding commitment to the equality, prosperity, and safety of all Americans, including and especially for LGBTQ people."

The organization said Harris has pushed for at least "66 positive moves for LGBTQ equality."

That includes her performing a "wedding" for a same-sex duo two decades ago, in 2004.

Further, she's been fully behind the leftist "Equality Act," which would open the door to private women's facilities like locker rooms and changing rooms to men, and she has opposed allowing counselors to try to help victims become free of unwanted same-sex feelings.

She's also joined the campaign that Walz has supported, to threaten families who won't allow their underage children to be subjected to life-altering surgeries.

The report noted the ACLU helps minors file lawsuits in pursuit of those chemical treatments and body alterations and believes Harris "would be a champion for the community if elected."

In fact, it wants Harris, from the White House, to "issue an executive order on day one directing federal agencies to examine ways that they can affirmatively enhance access to gender-affirming care in federally funded programs."

This is much the same process that Joe Biden used to activate the entirety of the federal government to recruit and enlist leftist voters.

The ACLU's James Esseks, in fact, said, "With further attacks on our rights and a landmark Supreme Court case on the horizon, we would encourage a Harris-Walz administration to … do everything in their power to protect our rights, our health care, and our freedom to be ourselves without fear."

An official with the LGBTQ group called the Human Rights Campaign said, "Her pick of Gov. Walz sends a message that a Harris-Walz administration will be committed to advancing equality and justice for all."

That group's statement said, "As vice president, Harris has helped lead the most pro-equality administration in history."

The organization is another that promotes subjecting children to irreversible and disfiguring "treatments" in opposition to parental rights.

The Daily Signal report said, "The Human Rights Campaign also backs so-called gender-affirming care for minors, criticizing those who wish to protect children. … HRC falsely claims that 'no permanent medical interventions happen until a transgender person is old enough to give truly informed consent.'"

Their evidence is derived from the many young people suing doctors and medical organizations for providing for their "transition" to a different gender, which scientifically is impossible, as "they were not able to fully give informed consent due to their age and mental health issues."

Advocates for Trans Equality said a Harris-Walz regime would go even beyond what Biden-Harris has done to help push transgenderism.

A report from an LGBTQ website documents that some 1,100 "queer celebrities, politicians and leaders" have signed an endorsement for Harris' campaign.

"The letter," reported NBC, "includes signatures from actors Matt Bomer, George Takei, Billy Eichner, and Sophia Bush and her partner, Ashlyn Harris, a former U.S. Women's National Team soccer player. Out elected officials, including Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., and Reps. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., Mark Takano, D-Calif., and Becca Balint, D-Vt., also signed, alongside notable figures such as Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015, and Judy Shepard, the mother of Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in Wyoming in 1998."

That report, in fact, boasted of Harris' "two-decade track record of supporting gay rights," and it pointed out how the letter describes her as a key component of a war against traditional marriage in California when she was a state official there.

GLAAD reports that Harris also has fought to deliver sexually explicit books in public schools and libraries and promised to "LGBTQI+ youth" that "We stand with you!"

She also pushed for LGBT ideology to be taught in schools, and for boys who say they are girls to be integrated into girls' locker rooms and showers in public schools.

That agenda, however, has taken multiple hits from federal courts who have ruled that the agenda must be blocked until the court process is completed.

Other pro-LGBTQ organizations that have fallen in behind Harris' pro-trans agenda include the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers.

Over the last year or so, Candace Owens has made an increasing number of deeply concerning comments about the Jewish people and Israel, leading to the question: What kind of anti-Semitic Kool-Aid is she drinking? In light of her most recent comments, the answer is One of the worst kinds of anti-Semitic Kool-Aid, the kind that espouses the most ridiculous (and malicious) conspiracy theories. Her statements have now become completely unhinged, leading to bizarre headlines like this on an anti-Semitic website: "Candace Owens digs in, calling out Israel's Frankist pedo-protection cult." What?

In her rant, Owens informs us that the horrors of the Holocaust did not help give birth to the modern State of Israel. Instead, many moons before this, Catholics and Christians went missing around Passover, and when their bodies were found, "they were able to trace them back to the Jews."

But, she tells us, she is not repeating the infamous blood libel, which alleges that Jews kidnap and kill Christians during Passover, using their blood to bake matzoh. Not at all! These people weren't Jews at all. "They were Frankists," Owens says, referring to a sex cult led by the notorious Polish Jew Jacob Frank (1726-1791).

The only problem with this unhinged theory is everything. First, this is the same, fictitious blood libel, just blamed on Frankists rather than Jews. Second, the Frankists, with all their perverted practices, did not kidnap and kill Catholics and Christians, using their blood for Passover. Third, the Frankists were Jews, although some of them eventually converted to Catholicism. But I quibble. Why should we trip over historical facts?

According to Owens, Leo Frank killed Mary Phagan during Passover (in 1913) for these same nefarious, bloody purposes. (Apparently, he must have been a Frankist too, since his last name was Frank!) And, she states firmly, "this Frankist cult, which is masquerading behind Jews, still participates in this s–t to this day."

We will soon find out that it is these fake Jews who helped found Israel, which is why, she tells us, Israel is a sanctuary state for pedophiles. Surely, nothing anti-Semitic here! And surely, we shouldn't stumble over the fact that most legal scholars believe that Leo Frank was falsely accused and wrongly convicted of the crime. Tragically, he was dragged from jail by an angry mob and lynched. But not to worry. After all, Frank was a Jew, right?

Owens claims that "the nation of Israel may have been established by some Frankists," which is why "Zionists defend pedophiles and criminals." But of course! How did we miss that? Yes, we are told, this is why Israel allows "pedophiles from America to flee and receive protection from their state." (BTW, Owens jokes that she will punch you in the face if you dare say that Israel is our ally. They are anything but an ally and friend. All clear?)

What is Owens' proof about the founding of Israel? "It is looking like Theodor Herzl's family" came from the same area in Moravia and Bohemia "where the Frankist cult was founded." And while Owens says "maybe" about her theory, she has read "a ton of books" and is quite sure about it. She also informs us that Herzl said that he didn't care how many Jews had to die to establish the Jewish state. How did all the Herzl scholars miss this?

And why quibble over the fact that the Frankist cult originated primarily in Podolia, which is in modern-day Ukraine? After all, Ukraine Moravia, and Bohemia are all in Europe, right? That's pretty close! At some point in time, some Frankists were located in the same country where Herzl was born. So, he was a Frankist sex pervert, and as the founder of Israel, that explains why the Jewish state is a sanctuary for pedophiles. Candace is on a roll! And since no one questions whether Herzl was Jewish, it appears that the Frankists masquerading as Jews were Jews after all. Got it!

As for the fact that the Frankists had largely disappeared by the time of Herzl's birth, again, why split hairs over things like chronology and history and dates and facts? Owens has a theory!

Not only so, but Owens wants us to know that Israel was involved in the assassination of JFK. It was a Mossad job!

But no one dared speak about these things. That's because America is being held hostage by a foreign country – Israel! And so she fearlessly proclaims, "We are an occupied nation!"

But it gets darker still. Owens informs us that the first Jewish Supreme Court justice, Louis Brandeis, was a Frankist. Don't believe her? She has an ironclad answer: "Look it up!"

Unfortunately, not even my AI bots could figure out where this nonsensical and diabolical theory came from, with AI Claude pointing out that: 1) "The Frankist movement was primarily active in the 18th century, while Brandeis lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries." 2) "Brandeis was known for his strong ethical standards and progressive reforms, which seem at odds with what is known about Frankist beliefs and practices." 3) "There are no reputable historical sources that suggest Brandeis had any connection to Frankism." (These are just some of the points Claude raised, which also noted, "This myth might have originated from anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. …")

But Owens has still more to say. She alleges that "every person who speaks about Israel has to say a statement like, 'I don't want to get killed.'" Yes, of course! No one in America or abroad would dare say anything negative about Israel or the Jewish people for fear of being killed by the Israelis. And if anything happens to her? "Blame the Zionists, like 1,000 percent, blame the Zionists. …"

Thankfully, she provides an "easy litmus test" by which you can judge "any commentator." If they don't condemn Israel's defense of pedophiles and acknowledge that Louis Brandeis was a Frankist, then they, too, are evil, psychopathic Zionists.

Sarcasm aside, Owens is peddling some sick, terribly dangerous stuff, given her popularity and influence.

May she awaken from this anti-Semitic stupor, may she spit out the poisonous Kool-Aid she is drinking, and may she become an advocate for righteousness and truth. And as much as her statements deserve ridicule and scorn, she needs our prayers. (I say this out of concern, not condescension.)

May the Lord deliver Candace Owens from deception!
