NO Virginia there isn’t just one example of hate from the left. Just yesterday a person posted a comment that there was just one example of hate from the left. Well, it’s obvious that this person lives in a small corner of the world where life’s reality is ignored.
Recently ZACH KESSEL is a William F. Buckley Jr. Fellow in Political Journalism and a recent graduate of Northwestern University reposted a few tweets to show us true examples of hate from the left that exists on college campuses. Below are a few examples.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Tuesday on his show “The Lead” that after the Hamas terror attacks in Israel, the last few days have been a real eye-opening period “in terms of antisemitism on the left.”
Tapper said, “So you have a Democratic colleague from Michigan, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian American to serve in Congress, and she released a statement. ‘I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost. The path to peace must include lifting the blockade and, ending the occupation and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that could lead to resistance. As longs our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue.’ What was your reaction when you heard Congresswoman Tlaib’s statement?”
Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) said, “To me, I think the hardest part, not just about that statement but a number of statements that have come out from organizations and individuals, I don’t question whether someone has the right to be angry at the Israeli government, I question their inability to condemn grievous, grievous violence and that is what has been difficult.”
Tapper said, “There does seem to be, look, we spent a lot of time during the Trump years looking at antisemitism on the right. This does. These last few days have been a real eye-opening period for a lot of people, a lot of Democrats and a lot progressives in terms of antisemitism on the left. A lot of people who seemed more shocks at dehumanizing language to describe Hamas than what Hamas actually perpetrated on Saturday.”
Slotkin said, “Yeah, I mean, look, antisemitism should be stamped out wherever it is on the right, or on the left.”
Enough said.Rockets started at 6:30 AM, then came ground attacks
I had been holding off on doing an article about the Brutal ANIMALS on two legs known as Hamas. But this is too much. A woman killed, stripped naked, and paraded around Gaza. Many more women and children killed or taken hostage…
Liberal idiots are complaining about Gaza civilians dying, but not a word about the Israeli, American, and German civilians killed by Hamas.
Biden was interviewed this weekend in the criminal investigation by special counsel probe into classified documents. Documents that he stole. So special counsel Robert Hur sat down with Biden to try and get to the bottom of the theft of top-secret documents when Biden was Senator and Vice President.
Of course, Biden will claim that he had no knowledge of those documents, but the one picture that I find striking is that his documents in the box that was in the garage. The picture says it all.
The special counsel investigation began after Biden’s lawyers found classified documents in multiple areas in his Delaware residence and in an office in Washington, D.C. The material was reportedly tied to his time as senator and as vice president.
The documents were discovered by the president’s personal attorneys who said they notified the National Archives and Records Administration and handed the papers over.
The FBI also conducted searches at the Biden family vacation home in Rehoboth, Del., and uncovered “some materials and handwritten notes” that also appeared to date back to his time as vice president. They were taken by the DOJ for further review.
Administrators at a Brooklyn high school never punished a group of teen boys who sexually assaulted a female classmate and recorded the abuse, fueling the “dangerous environment” that allowed it to happen, according to a recently-settled lawsuit.
A 14-year-old freshman at Transit Tech High School was forced to perform oral sex in front of other attackers — who recorded it with their cell phones and posted it to social media including TikTok and Snapchat, the suit alleged.
Transit Tech “created a dangerous school environment that condoned sexual abuse and harassment, particularly by a group of offenders who have been allowed to engage in similar despicable conduct without effective reprimand or discipline,” said the suit, filed in Brooklyn federal court by the girl’s mother.
“School officials simply raised their hands and turned their backs on this vulnerable student, encouraging (her) to leave the school, … and allowed the students who abused her to remain at Transit.”
The suit cites a “climate of harassment” at the East New York career and technical school – especially against girls, who make up just 15% of its 797 students.
The state also cited 14 reports of discrimination, intimidation, taunting, harassment, or bullying, and 12 cases of drug possession or sales.
The lawsuit names Marlon Bynum, the principal, and Janice Ross, superintendent of Brooklyn North high schools, charging they “were aware that female students were regularly harassed and subjected to abuse and that sexual activity was occurring within the school.”
On Aug. 4, the city agreed to pay a $200,000 settlement, The Post learned. After attorney fees, the girl, now 15, will receive $132,170 when she turns 18.
“No amount of money will compensate my daughter for what she had to go through, and is still going through as a victim of sexual assault,” the girl’s mother told The Post, which is withholding her name to protect the child’s privacy.

The sickening assault — which was not reported publicly at the time — occurred on Oct. 21, 2021, as the girl walked to class through an isolated staircase.
She told cops one boy “pushed her head down” onto another boy, while a third recorded the sex act and posted it on social media, NYPD records show.
She immediately reported the attack.
The NYPD arrested two boys, charging one with criminal sexual assault, a felony, and the other with offensive display, a misdemeanor, records show.
But the charges were dropped a week later after the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office declined to prosecute.
The suit cites a “climate of harassment” at the East New York career and technical school – especially against girls, who make up just 15% of its 797 students.
The office does not comment on cases involving juveniles.
“Kids are kids,” the girl’s mother quoted the principal as telling her the next day, she said in sworn testimony.
A DOE report on the incident said “video footage is available.”
But the school erased the school’s surveillance tape before he asked for it, said the girl’s lawyer, Kevin Mosley.
“The cover-up is beyond belief,” Mosley told The Post. “The authorities did not take her seriously.”
About a week after the assault, the girl’s mother received an unsigned email from the DOE saying, “We have … determined that the behavior that was the subject of the investigation did not violate Chancellor’s Regulation A-832,” which prohibits student-on-student discrimination, sexual harassment, intimidation and bullying.
The attackers remained at Transit Tech.
The girl’s parents transferred her to another school.
She “was forced to leave …in fear of her own safety,” suffering physically, emotionally and academically, the suit said. Her attendance and grades fell that year, and she needed counseling.
A city Law Department spokesman said only, “This settlement was in the best interests of the parties.” Bynum, Ross and a DOE spokesman had no response.
The Transit Tech suit comes after another female student at prestigious Brooklyn Tech HS — also under Ross’s supervision — sued the DOE last December, charging administrators botched a probe of horrific sex harassment — erasing nude photos that a boy student used to threaten and blackmail the girl.
In that suit, which is pending, the girl’s parents begged the school to keep their daughter safe from the boy, but he continued to attend Brooklyn Tech after his arrest and while on probation.
The Israel Defense Forces rescued 48 hostages from the dining hall of Kibbutz Be’eri on Saturday, according to local reports.
The Palestinian terror attack against Israel happened on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the final day of the annual High Holy Day cycle.
The violent attack left at least 250 people dead and 1,500 wounded, as Breitbart News reported. Numbers are over 700 and 2,500 as of yesterday evening. EST.
Dozens of people were held hostage earlier on Saturday in the kibbutz dining hall for Horus. However, Israel Defense Forces engaged in a gun battle with the Palestinian terrorists who infiltrated the Kibbutz region in southern Israel.
The terrorists who were holding the hostages were reportedly neutralized. At least 48 people were rescued from the hostage situation.
Brianna Pinnix, 30, (main) from New York, works as a senior talent acquisition specialist at Capital Rx, specializing in technology recruiting, according to her now-deleted LinkedIn page. Pinnix was caught on video (right) screaming at a group of German tourists on a New Jersey Transit train earlier this week. She became increasingly aggressive towards the group of young travelers before shouting ‘lets not let immigrants take up our country…how about you get the f**k out of our country.’ Pinnix declined an interview request to explain her perspective and to provide context on the situation when reached by DailyMail.com. It’s unclear what led to the confrontation or what comments were made to the blonde woman.
Brianna Pinnix from New York is (was) a high-flying recruitment specialist
In footage, Pinnix was caught screaming ‘lets not let immigrants take up our country…how about you get the f**k out of our country’ at a group of tourists
Brianna Pinnix, 30, worked as a senior talent acquisition specialist at Capital Rx, specializing in technology recruiting, according to her now-deleted LinkedIn page.
She’s since been fired from her position after Capital Rx said they ‘acted immediately and terminated the employee,’ after the clip of her disgusting behavior went viral.
The company said in a statement to the NY Post: ‘Our company has a zero-tolerance policy around prejudicial or discriminatory behavior. After conducting a review of the circumstances, we acted immediately and terminated the employee in question.
‘The former employee’s actions and words are not representative of Capital Rx, and we offer our sincerest apology to those who were hurt.’
Pinnix has a bachelor’s degree in communications and media studies from Marymount Manhattan College.
The recruiter has been described as ‘an absolute pleasure’ by a client.
‘I was raving about her to friends and previous coworkers, ’ the client wrote on Pinnix’s LinkedIn. ‘She is incredibly knowledgeable and so personable.’
Pinnix declined an interview request to explain her perspective and to provide context on the situation when reached by DailyMail.com.
The shocking footage showed Pinnox, who appeared drunk, towering over a group of tourists as they chatted amongst themselves in their seats.
‘Are you German?’ she asks before aggressively adding, ‘what did you say, tell me what you said.’
Pinnox becomes increasingly aggressive before shouting, ‘lets not let immigrants take up our country…how about you get the f**k out of our country.’
The Manhattan recruiter, wearing jeans and a light green strappy top, who social media user’s have dubbed a ‘Karen’, is seen being soothed by her concerned husband.
‘Brie, don’t do this. You could be arrested’ he pleads, as he takes her by the arm and tries to convince his partner that the group of men were ‘having a private conversation’ and not trying to start a conflict.
‘I love you, but get off me,’ the increasingly upset woman tells her husband as she continues to berate the tourists.
‘Stop this right now, go sit down or I’m never going to talk to you again,’ he threatens.
The tourists appeared to take the incident in good humor, with only one getting out of their seat, appearing visibly annoyed before calmly sitting back down moments later.
It’s unclear what led to the confrontation or what comments were made to the blonde woman.
After the woman is back in her seat, her companion tells her, ‘I’m an immigrant too, you know that right.’
New Jersey Transit told DailyMail.com the company ‘strongly condemns any behaviour of this type,’ and its customers are ‘encouraged to report incidents of this nature to train crew members, or they can reach out to NJ TRANSIT Police.’
Apparently, this woman can’t hold a job for very long.
Late last year, Pinnix targeted her old employer in videos posted to her now-deleted TikTok account. In one, she accused her former boss of spending all but $8 on a $300 Nordstrom gift card she says was won at a Christmas raffle. [Pinnix had various social media accounts that have since been deleted since the viral meltdown.]
‘I’ve been contemplating making this video for two months, and I’m gonna do it. I was gaslit by my former boss- I’m not gonna use names, if someone at my old company sees this, sorry. If someone at my new company sees this, sorry but it needs to be said,’ Pinnix said in the video obtained by MailOnline.com.
The New Jersey native said she confronted her boss about the video, which led to a lengthy dispute between the two.
So, I called customer service, and they’re like, “Yep, this card was used to buy two pairs of men’s shoes and a pair of men’s pants,”‘ Pinnix said.
There was a time she was ‘friends’ with her boss and had gone shopping with him and had remembered his nine-and-a-half shoe size.
A Nordstrom manager was able to tell her that her old boss did indeed use the money on the card.
When Pinnix reached out to him about the gift card, he insisted it was a gift from the company when she left and blatantly told her to ‘use it’.
‘At this point, I’m getting pretty heated,’ Pinnix said.
She then said she was going to continue the story in another post, but videos related to this matter have since been deleted from her page.
A CVS drug store in Northwest Washington, D.C. located in the Columbia Heights neighborhood about twenty blocks north of the White House is being routinely looted by mobs of forty-five or more school children and others to the point that the store just has mostly bare shelves in aisle after aisle. Fox affiliate WTTG-TV reported that children steal and destroy merchandise before and after school, as well as late at night, while others steal items that apparently end up being sold by nearby street vendors as part of a crime ring that plans robberies around the store’s delivery times for products to steal.
The store is located at 3031 14th St. NW, near Irving St.
The WTTG news crew witnessed school children looting the store, but did not air any video of the thieves. The report does show the store to be largely empty of merchandise and customers. When asked what gets stolen the most, an employee reportedly laughed and said. “everything.” The store has one security guard on duty. Local residents interviewed for the report gave the typical liberal ‘it’s bad, but those poor people’ response that is killing Democrat-run cities.
Every year since 1958, the West Texas town of Sweetwater has hosted the World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup, which is exactly what it sounds like. Thousands of the venomous ophidians are rooted out of their dens and brought to the Nolan County Coliseum to be gawked at, “milked,” and often beheaded and skinned. It started as a way for the region to rid itself of some of its least-welcome residents. Now community leaders wish they could do the same with several giant piles of scrap that have for too long been left to bake in the sun. But that’s proving to be much trickier than wrangling reptiles.
About forty miles west of Abilene on Interstate 20, Sweetwater has unwittingly become home to what is possibly the world’s largest collection of unwanted wind turbine blades. When forklifts deposited the first of these in a field behind the apartment complex where Pamala Meyer lives, on the west side of town, in 2017, she wasn’t initially bothered. But then the blades—between 150 and 200 feet in length and mostly made of composite materials such as fiberglass with a binding resin—kept coming. Each was cut into thirds, with each segment longer than a school bus. Thousands arrived over several years, eventually blanketing more than thirty acres, in stacks rising as high as basketball backboards. Every few dozen feet, a break among the stacks leads into an industrial hedge maze.
“It’s just a hazard all the way around,” Meyer said. She worries about neighborhood children exploring the unfenced piles and says that stagnant pools of water inside the blades breed swarms of mosquitos. Matt Jackson, who works in a nearby warehouse, has other concerns. The piles create shaded nooks and crannies, perfect for Sweetwater’s unofficial mascot. “It’s just a big rattlesnake farm,” he said.

The blades were brought here by Global Fiberglass Solutions, a company based in Washington State that announced in 2017 its intention to recycle blades from wind farms across the region. Instead of ending up in landfills, they would be ground up into a reusable material that could be turned into pallets, railroad ties, or flooring panels. Global Fiberglass is one of a few companies attempting to develop a viable business from recycling blades.
Besides the main boneyard—behind Meyer’s apartment—stacks of blades also occupy ten acres a couple miles south of town, and the company is storing blades in other locations in the county. “They have, in my view, abandoned them there,” said Samantha Morrow, the Nolan County attorney. “The county doesn’t have and cannot find millions of dollars to clean this up.”
The Sweetwater piles are also at least partly the indirect result of a rule clarification the Internal Revenue Service issued in 2016. Before then, a wind farm could collect valuable federal tax credits for only its first ten years of operation. But the IRS determined that it would restart the clock on the credits if a wind farm “repowered” its turbines—replacing most of their equipment with newer parts. So, despite the expected two-decade lifespan for turbine blades, wind farms across Texas and other states began replacing many that remained in good shape years early.
Some paid Global Fiberglass to remove the older blades and haul them away. The company set up shop in an empty industrial facility in Sweetwater that was once an aluminum recycling plant, but Don Lilly, the managing director of Global Fiberglass, told me that only a handful of blades have ever been ground up there. He said the company was close to ramping up and would soon mill the blades into pieces the size of coarse sand. “The blade material is sold,” he said, “but I can’t go into that part yet.”
Sweetwater has heard such pledges before. The county declared the stockpile a public nuisance a year ago. City attorney Jeff Allen said Sweetwater’s local ordinances are aimed at overgrown lots, not turbine blades, leaving the city with limited legal options. He said he believes Global Fiberglass “intended to be a viable business” but at some point “it just came off the rails.” (Lilly disputes this and says the delays have come from ensuring “all systems were engineered.”)
Sweetwater benefits from the wind-energy industry, including two large wind farms nearby. Drivers arriving on I-20 from either direction are welcomed by a giant wind turbine blade painted with the town’s name. But even the community’s biggest boosters of renewable energy long ago ran out of patience with Global Fiberglass’s mess. “We’d like to see them gone,” said Karen Hunt, director of the local chamber of commerce. “The sooner the better.”
Update, September 25: General Electric filed a lawsuit last week claiming that Global Fiberglass Solutions has failed to fulfill its promise to recycle thousands of blades. GE says it paid the company $16.9 million to recycle about five thousand wind turbine blades, but that GFS instead stockpiled them at facilities in Sweetwater and Iowa. “Only after GFS took millions of dollars from GE, did GFS all but shut down its operations without recycling the Blades,” reads the complaint, filed in U.S. district court in New York.
GE says it later contracted with another company to recycle its blades and is seeking damages to cover these costs as well as reputational damage. Global Fiberglass has not responded to the lawsuit. GE removing its blades from Sweetwater wouldn’t clean up the giant dump; blades manufactured by other companies would still remain.
