Islamic terrorist-supporter Rep. Rashida Tlaib reacted to the Israeli pager attacks that decimated key elements of the Hezbollah Islamic terrorist organization and the memes that arose out of it by tweeting that it’s “disgusting.” Daniel Greenfield Tlaib is understandably upset at Islamic terrorists being wounded and dying. And by American infidels making fun of them. […]

Yesterday, thousands of pagers held by Hezbollah terrorists or their allies went off, injuring thousands. Several were killed. Today, pagers again exploded simultaneously in Lebanon and Syria, injuring hundreds more, according to early reports. We don’t know about deaths.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against YouTube star MrBeast and Amazon by five former contestants on the unreleased reality competition show, “Beast Games.” The plaintiffs allege general mistreatment, sexual harassment, and other violations, court documents show. A redacted version of the lawsuit became available after it was filed on Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, per Variety. “Beast Games” had a $100 million production budget, the suit states. Creator MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, discussed the game show in March, saying it includes “over 1,000 contestants, $5,000,000 prize, and many other world records,” making it the “largest game show in history.” It is scheduled to be released on Prime Video.  The lawsuit alleges that Amazon and MrBeast’s production company (Off One’s Base LLC) committed several offenses, including failing to pay minimum wages and overtime, failing to prevent sexual harassment, and creating conditions that led to “infliction of emotional distress.” The plaintiffs said they were not provided uninterrupted meal breaks or rest breaks and were exposed to “dangerous circumstances and conditions as a condition of their employment.”  They also claimed to be subjected to a “culture of misogyny and sexism.” Am I Racist?

But one section discusses “a pattern of sexual harassment.” For example, plaintiffs claim that in the “How to Succeed in MrBeast Production” employee handbook, it says, “If talent wants to draw a d*** on the white board in the video or do something stupid, let them… Really do everything you can to empower the boys when filming and help them make content. Help them be idiots.” The New York Times ran an article last month detailing allegations from former contestants about the conditions on the game show. They said several participants fainted, vomited, or were hospitalized during the competition. A spokesperson for Donaldson acknowledged the issues, telling the outlet at the time that filming was “unfortunately complicated” by the global CrowdStrike disruption in July, extreme weather, and “other unexpected logistical and communications issues.”

Anti-Semitism doesn’t belong in the workplace. But in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), a group of Jewish teachers are forced to fund the anti-Semitic habits of their workplace representative, the United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA). Beginning in 2020, UTLA’s support for anti-Semitic and anti-Israel sentiments in and outside of the classroom raised red flags among Jewish educators. During “Teach Palestine” gatherings, for example, the union offered members curriculum to help “educators bring Palestine into their classrooms.” A project of the Middle East Children’s Alliance, similar union-sponsored strategizing sessions across the state of California represent “a coordinated effort to brainwash children.” One union official made use of this curriculum in the classroom, likening life in Gaza to imprisonment in Holocaust concentration camps. Outside of the classroom, anti-Semitism began to permeate union ideology. During a 2021 UTLA meeting regarding ethnic studies, union President Cecily Myart-Cruz dubbed the Museum of Tolerance, a Holocaust museum, the “enemy,” while another speaker’s profanity-riddled remarks attacked Israel directly. And, despite its name, UTLA’s standing “Human Rights Committee” continues to spew similar anti-Jewish rhetoric to this effect. UTLA’s flirtation with anti-Semitism quickly devolved into outright discrimination against Jewish teachers. As members challenged UTLA’s ideology, union officers began to forcibly remove teachers questioning the anti-Semitic status-quo from Facebook forums and in-person meetings. During Zoom meetings, teachers were booted for displaying backgrounds with nonpolitical Jewish imagery, while other members and guests were encouraged to display politically charged backdrops, so long as they were the right kind of politics. The last straw for many Jewish teachers represented by UTLA, however, followed the horrific terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023. Instead of issuing a statement of solidarity following the massacres, UTLA remained silent, speaking up only to label Israel an “apartheid state” and “occupier.” Further, UTLA’s Executive Board permitted multiple re-introductions of a motion criticizing Israel while advocating for protection of the Hamas attackers without concern for the victims and hostages lost on October 7th. Doubling down again on its anti-Semitic tendencies, UTLA endorsed Kahllid Al-Alim for election to the LAUSD school board. Al-Alim’s social media accounts, fraught with vulgar anti-Semitic rhetoric, featured blood-libel and conspiracy theories, including blanket accusations against the Jewish people for “collaborating with and even financing such racial terrorists as the Ku Klux Klan.” After intense backlash, UTLA pulled support for Al-Alim after contributing more than $700,000 worth of membership dues towards his campaign. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Per the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Janus v. AFSCME (2018), public employees cannot be forced to pay union dues, especially those that support a hateful political ideology like UTLA’s. Regardless, the requests of eight Jewish teachers to cancel UTLA membership and fees were ignored. Left with no option to defend themselves from a union hostile to their identity and value system, several Jewish members reached out to the Freedom Foundation, a government union watchdog that provides pro-bono legal assistance to those held hostage within dues-paying membership. “The Employees no longer wish to support UTLA as members, or financially through deductions from their lawfully earned wages,” our demand letter read. “Hence, they are withdrawing affirmative consent to affiliation with UTLA and demand that UTLA immediately release them from membership and further dues deductions.” Despite its promise to “uphold educators’ rights,” UTLA disregarded its members’ demands, ignored the letter, and sent a lawyer to inform teachers of their inability to cancel dues payments. The Freedom Foundation’s effort to liberate LAUSD’s marginalized Jewish teachers doesn’t end here. The union’s resounding commitment to anti-Semitism at the expense of its members begs the question of whether UTLA is capable of responsibly representing educators at all. Until UTLA releases those Jewish teachers desperate to cease involuntary support for a union that hates them, the answer will remain “no.” * * * Shella Alcabes is litigation counsel for the Freedom Foundation.

During a recent appearance on CNN, GOP pundit Scott Jennings got anchor Abby Phillip to admit that Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly mischaracterized and lied about a comment made months ago by former President Donald Trump. Trump had been talking about the potential economic impact — particularly with regard to the automobile industry — of a second term under President Joe Biden, when he warned that there would be “a bloodbath” if he lost. Despite the fact that he was clearly referring to the loss of American jobs and income, the Biden-Harris administration — along with dozens of others in the media — immediately claimed that he was calling for political violence, a literal “bloodbath,” if he lost the 2024 election. In the wake of a second assassination attempt on Trump, Jennings argued that it was past time to call out those who were still perpetuating lies about that statement.

Here CNN admits on air that all the bloodbath claims made about Trump aren’t true: pic.twitter.com/rz4WmxcuYO — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) September 18, 2024 “It is said by every Democrat working for or around her campaign, every day on this network and every other one!” Jennings began. “The ‘bloodbath’ thing is stated every single day. But my point is, ‘dictator,’ ‘bloodbath,’ ‘eliminate the Constitution,’ what do you think that does to people?” Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! Phillip tried to interrupt, saying that she’d like to clear things up for everyone: “You’re referring to Trump’s use of the word ‘bloodbath’ when he was talking —” “And what was he talking about?” Jennings asked, interrupting. “I’m going to explain it to people, because I think there’s confusion about this,” Phillip continued. “The use of the word ‘bloodbath’ when he was talking about, you know, vehicle manufacturing jobs in the United States. Vice President Harris improperly and unfairly mischaracterized that as him saying there would be a bloodbath if she were elected. However, she did not say that if Trump were elected there would be a bloodbath, she did not say that.” Jennings pressed the point further, saying, “I know you have interviewed and have had people out here and have watched the same coverage I have. The ‘bloodbath’ garbage is an – it is a pillar of the Democratic campaign against Trump, as is ‘dictator,’ as is ‘eliminate the U.S. Constitution.'”
