Watch: KJP claims that Islamophobia is what we really need to be worried about



White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre disappointed yet again at a recent press conference where she initially denied there’s been a rise in anti-Semitism.

“What is [Biden’s] level of concern right now about the potential rise in anti-Semitism in light of everything that’s going on in Israel?” a reporter asked.

KJP, donning her typical exasperated countenance, responded with the following:

“We have not seen any credible threats … but look, Muslim and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks, and certainly President Biden understands that many of our Muslim Arab-Americans and Palestinian-Americans, loved ones, and neighbors are worried about the hate being directed at their communities.”

This tone-deaf response, however, received such immediate backlash that Jean-Pierre claimed she "misheard the question" and issued a clarifying statement on X just hours later.

“To be clear: the President and our team are very concerned about a rise in antisemitism, especially after the horrific Hamas terrorist attack in Israel," she posted.

But Pat Gray isn’t convinced.

“Even when Jews are being attacked – viciously attacked – it's Muslims, it's the Islamic world that's the victim,” he sighs.

But KJP isn’t the only government official who’s overlooked the brutality inflicted upon the Jews in favor of siding with Palestine.

Ilhan Omar, unsurprisingly, has also been openly supportive of a ceasefire to spare Palestinian lives.

At a recent press conference, a reporter asked, “Why don’t you want Israelis to go after the terrorists that burned, tortured, and killed their babies and children and still have them hostage?”

A valid question, but Ilhan Omar, who Pat says is a proud member of the “Hamas Caucus,” thought otherwise.

“How many more killings is enough for you? Is it a thousand more? Two thousand more? Three thousand more? How many Palestinians would make you happy if they died?” she screeched at the reporter.

“I’ll be happy when every single member of that terrorist group Hamas is killed,” says Pat, “and I’m sure that would make Israelis fairly happy as well.”

'I have never been more FRIGHTENED for my country': Glenn Beck issues solemn warning ahead of midterms



America is in a very dangerous place right now. Far-left progressives are doing everything they can to create the right-wing "extremists" they can't seem to organically find, and many on the right have had enough. Somebody is going to do something stupid, which will only give the left the excuse it needs to brand every last conservative in the nation as a "threat to our democracy."

"We need a plan of action to save the country," Glenn Beck said on a recent episode of Glenn TV. But that plan must adhere 100% to the Constitution, he asserted, because if we lash out in anger, we will lose.

"I have never been more frightened for my country than I am right now," Glenn said. "We have 350 million people and some of them are bat-crap-crazy 24 hours a day, no matter who is the president. Somebody's going to do something stupid, and the people that I would like to see behind bars — those who are intentionally trying to distort, dismantle, and destroy our republic and the Constitution — they will use any and every opportunity they have to push people in a certain direction, cast them in a certain light [...]. There isn't any way to win unless we remember who we are and rise above it," he added.

"This is going to be one or the other: You're going to have an authoritarian state that tells everybody exactly what to do, what you can buy; you will be a serf, or we're going to have a new chapter of freedom. Getting to either one of these is going to be ugly," Glenn warned. "We must try absolutely everything we can, and November is the best way to do it."

Glenn went on to explain why, if we don't realize that our neighbors are not the same as the "crazies" in Washington, D.C., we won't have a country anymore.

"I'm sorry if I am out of step with you," he said. "When I started this job the week of September 11th, I promised [God] I would do my best to find the answers to share them with you and stand up for what I truly believed He would have me do."

"All we can do is the best we can right now, and the best thing that you can do is, as the crowd gets louder, do not scream for more blood. As the crowd gets louder, we must become more quiet and humble — but in the way of Jesus. Stop thinking of Jesus Christ only as a lamb. He was also a lion. But he was a lion that roared against injustice. Just because you want to be reasoned, quiet, Christ-like, does not mean that you do not turn over tables. The tables here have to be turned over. The money-changers have got to be chased out of our republic's temple in Washington, D.C., and I am all for that. But notany other way than constitutionally."

"Don't give the crazies what they want," Glenn urged. We are so close to November, then we must vote them out.

Whitlock: September 11 is now a day to remember why we are divided



A high school outside Seattle canceled plans for students to dress in red, white, and blue at a Friday night football game because administrators feared the colors would be perceived as racially insensitive.

Predominantly white Eastlake High played predominantly black Rainier Beach on Friday, one day before the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Students at Eastlake planned to decorate themselves in patriotic colors to honor first responders and the Americans killed on that day.

According to emails obtained by a local radio host, the principal at Eastlake told concerned parents the school nixed the plans because the colors could "unintentionally cause offense to some who see it differently."

Eastlake is 62% white, 22% Asian, 8% Hispanic, and 1% black. Rainier Beach is 60% black, 24% Asian, 9% Hispanic, and 5% white.

Patriotism is polarizing. It's defined now as an expression of white supremacy.

How did we get here? And how did we get here so fast?

Twenty years ago, we allegedly rallied around the flag. We put aside our political, religious, and racial differences and united against a common enemy — the threat of terrorism.

Or did we? Is the unity sparked by 9/11 just another example of fake news, of narrative subjugating fact?

I'm beginning to believe so. Sept. 11, 2001, did more to tear us apart than bring us together. Sept. 11 will be scrawled across the tombstone of the United States of America. It's analogous to Nov. 22, 1963, the day President Kennedy was assassinated in broad daylight on a Dallas street.

Despite the best efforts of corporate media, sports leagues, and Big Tech to memorialize and commercialize 9/11 as a day of unity, its true impact on America is divisive. Remembrance of 9/11 is rooted in cynicism, skepticism, and distrust. It spawned conspiracy theories on the political right and left. From "Loose Change" to Alex Jones' shouts of "inside job" to Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," Americans were fed a justifiable smorgasbord of pessimism and bitterness.

Just like the narrative of Lee Harvey Oswald as lone assassin, few Americans believe we've been told the full truth about what happened on Sept. 11. The pervasive cynicism that engulfed America eventually led to the hyper political partisanship we have today.

We quit believing in America.

That's the real lesson of 9/11. It's an unlearned and/or ignored lesson from that tragic day. Why do I say we quit believing? Because it's the only explanation for how easily we surrendered long-established privacy freedoms to protect ourselves from diabolical and dangerous men hiding in caves in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Only non-believers abandon their beliefs as quickly as we did.

The administrators running Eastlake High School outside Seattle don't believe in America. That's why they think red, white, and blue in combination are potentially offensive and would rather cancel a harmless symbol of patriotism than risk offending a rival school immersed in critical racism theory.

The administrators are no different from the men running the National Football League. The NFL kicked off its new season with the playing of the so-called black national anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing." The NFL no longer believes in the United States of America. It symbolically supports the separate states of America.

Trust is built on truth. It's not built on individual acts of American heroism. The CBS magazine show "60 Minutes" aired a one-hour tribute to the 343 New York firefighters who sacrificed their lives in service to the men and women trapped inside the World Trade Center towers. The tribute was powerful and emotionally evocative. It was not remotely restorative. America cannot recapture its unity without reclaiming its regard for truth.

During the "60 Minutes" broadcast, the surviving New York firefighters acknowledged their shock that the towers collapsed. It was an unprecedented event that no one anticipated. Host Scott Pelley offered a brief explanation why the towers melted and caved in.

My point is that remembrances of 9/11 re-raise questions more than they re-raise patriotism.

The first responders in New York may one day be remembered as the last American patriots, the last Americans en masse to enthusiastically and heroically answer President Kennedy's challenge to ask not what your country can do for you, but to ask what you can do for your country.

Only the truth can save America. Unfortunately, we lack the capacity to recognize it and the courage to accept it.
