"The Anti-Defamation League recently asked people in 103 countries whether they agreed with 11 antisemitic statements including: 'Jews are responsible for most of the world's wars,' 'Jews have a lot of irritating faults,' 'Jews have too much control over the media,' and 'Jews' loyalty is only to Israel.'

"The ADL Global 100 survey for 2024 classified almost half of respondents as 'possessing antisemitic attitudes' because they agreed with at least six of the 11 statements.

"Of course, an average that high means that in some places, the percentage stands considerably higher: 92% in Saudi Arabia, 62% in Russia, 58% in China, and the highest level, at 97%, in the West Bank and Gaza.

"Another ADL survey polled 4,143 Americans in January 2024, finding that 24% embraced at least six antisemitic sentiments."

"It wasn't long ago that a California governor made it clear that oil refineries were not welcome in his state. Then another California governor asked regulators to loosen the chains on refineries to ensure that they will be profitable and remain in the state that every day burns an enormous volume of gasoline.

"Actually, it is the same governor, one who has turned his attention from playing to his hard-left, blue-state constituency to shifting toward the middle for a 2028 White House run.

"It was just last summer when Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a 'plan to prevent Big Oil "profit spikes"' that would also 'save Californians money at the pump.' He groused about refiners 'playing games to earn even more profits' and vowed to force them to 'act responsibly.'

"Two months later, he signed a bill that is intended to limit 'higher profits for the industry.' Within hours, Phillips 66 said that it was closing its Los Angeles refinery complex."

"One hundred days into the Trump administration, the National Counterterrorism Center has identified nearly 1,200 alleged terrorists illegally in the U.S.

"Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who leads the NCTC, wrote on X Monday that after the Trump administration designated Mexican cartels and transnational gangs as foreign terrorist organizations, she directed her staff to pursue terrorists illegally in the U.S.

"As of Monday, the NCTC had 'identified and provided leads to law enforcement on approximately 750 individuals with ties to MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Sinaloa Cartel as a part of its screening and vetting process,' she said."

"To most Americans, the big problem with the Democratic Party is that it has moved too far left in recent years. If you're among those who believe that, brace yourself.

"The worst is yet to come.

"A serious push is underway to move the party even further away from the political center, embrace economic plans close to pure socialism and launch radical woke culture battles.

"It sounds like a bad joke, but it's really happening. And it's a movement that goes beyond the socialist fever dreams of Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez."

"Will this law review article 'promote DEI values'? Does it cite scholars from 'underrepresented groups'? Will it have 'any foreseeable impact in enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion'? And why did one team of editors solicit 'only white, male authors'?

"Those are some of the questions that editors at the Harvard Law Review asked in internal documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The documents, which span more than four years and have not been previously reported, include article evaluations, training materials, and data on the race and gender of journal authors. They reveal a pattern of pervasive race discrimination at the nation's top law journal and threaten to plunge Harvard, already at war with the federal government, into even deeper crisis.

"The law review states on its website that it considers race only in the context of an applicant's personal statement. But according to dozens of documents obtained by the Free Beacon -- including lists of every new policy adopted by the law review since 2021 -- race plays a far larger role in the selection of both editors and articles than the journal has publicly acknowledged."

"In a little more than three years, Los Angeles will host the 2028 Summer Olympics. It seems fair to ask if it is going to be up to the task. The city has a nearly $1 billion deficit and will be laying off 1,600 workers. The rebuild after winter wildfires killed 12 and destroyed 68,000 structures is moving as slowly as the state's high-speed rail project. A federal judge has told Los Angeles officials he is their 'worst nightmare.' And the city is being sued by its hometown newspaper.

"Another question comes to mind: Could Los Angeles be the next Detroit? At times, it seems it's in a race with San Francisco to see which will be the first to reach a Motor City-like nadir."

"Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the deported El Salvadoran at the center of the Trump administration's immigration battle with the courts, was stopped by police in an SUV owned by a man who was himself deported after pleading guilty to smuggling illegal aliens in 2020, according to court and Homeland Security Department intelligence documents reviewed by Just the News.

"These new details follow Just the News reporting last week that Abrego Garcia was flagged in 2022 by the Biden administration as a 'suspect alien' who was possibly involved in 'human smuggling/trafficking' after a traffic stop in Tennessee raised the suspicions of a state trooper, according to internal Homeland Security documents.

"The Trump administration alleges Abrego Garcia is a member of the notorious El Salvadoran gang MS-13 based on Maryland police identifications and deported him last month back to his home country."

"President Trump can prove his hefty, across-the-board tariffs are working -- and calm the markets -- by beginning to secure trade deals with nations soon. He'd best hop to it.

"Indeed, the clock is ticking: On Monday, the markets headed down steeply again, as fears of recession and inflation continue to loom. Clearly, the tariffs are driving the turmoil -- not just on Wall Street but throughout the economy.

"Meanwhile, China is becoming increasingly aggressive. Its latest threat: It'll retaliate against countries that work with Trump to limit or scrap tariffs on goods they ship to America. ...

"But the longer the chaos lasts, the more damage it will do.

"Again, much is riding on the outcome of these deals. So Trump needs to move fast and show some success.

"There's no better way to prove his gamble right and get the nation back on a stable economic course."

"Action in state legislative sessions are proving that ranked-choice voting is as unpopular as ever.

After last year's string of losses on state ballot measures, some progressive activists claimed they would fare better with lawmakers than they had with voters. Yet legislatures are not enacting ranked-choice this year -- instead, they are banning the convoluted scheme.

The idea behind ranked-choice voting is to get voters to express 'preferences' about multiple candidates, rather than just voting for one. This raises questions about one-person, one-vote, but that's only the beginning of the problem. The system makes elections more difficult from start to finish, slowing the process and introducing new possibilities for errors and irregularities.

It starts with the ballot. In a normal election, a voter can vote once for each office. If there are six offices up for election, that means voting for six candidates -- one for each office. With a ranked-choice ballot, however, if there are five candidates running for each of those offices, then a voter is supposed to 'vote' 30 times, ranking all five candidates for each of the six offices."

"New York Attorney General Letitia James -- who infamously declared that 'no one is above the law' when she was targeting Donald Trump -- was hit with a federal criminal referral for instances of alleged mortgage fraud on Tuesday, according to a letter obtained by The Post.

"Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte sent the missive to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, alleging that James had 'falsified records' to get home loans for a property in Virginia that she claimed was her 'principle residence' in 2023 -- while still serving as a New York state prosecutor.

"That occurred in late August 2023, weeks before James began her civil fraud trial against the Trump Organization for overinflating the values of many of its properties, which ended in a $454 million judgment.

"'Ms. James was the sitting Attorney General of New York and is required by law to have her primary residence in the state of New York -- even though her mortgage applications list her intent to have the Norfolk, VA, property as her primary home,' the letter stated."
