It’s a fashion brand that anti-Semites will love to hate.

The politically charged “West Bank” designation should not be used to refer to the biblical heartland of Israel. That’s why Senator Tom Cotton has introduced legislation that would ban the federal government from using the term “West Bank” (so renamed by Jordanian illegal occupiers in 1948) and instead use “Judea and Samaria,” the terminology used […]

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Monday that he was nominating attorney Harmeet Dhillon to a top position in the Department of Justice under his second administration. “I am pleased to nominate Harmeet K. Dhillon as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social. “Throughout her career, Harmeet has stood up consistently to protect our cherished Civil Liberties, including taking on Big Tech for censoring our Free Speech, representing Christians who were prevented from praying together during COVID, and suing corporations who use woke policies to discriminate against their workers.” He added: “Harmeet is one of the top Election lawyers in the Country, fighting to ensure that all, and ONLY, legal votes are counted. She is a graduate of Dartmouth College and the University of Virginia Law School, and clerked in the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Harmeet is a respected member of the Sikh religious community. In her new role at the DOJ, Harmeet will be a tireless defender of our Constitutional Rights, and will enforce our Civil Rights and Election Laws FAIRLY and FIRMLY.” Dhillon and her law firm, The Dhillon Law Group, have aided Trump in some of his court battles, represented The Daily Wire in the legal fight that led to the Supreme Court blocking the Biden administration from enforcing a COVID vaccine mandate for private employers, and participated in other legal fights in favor of conservative causes. The lawyer has also held GOP roles in California and challenged Ronna McDaniel to lead the Republican National Committee last year. In response to Trump’s announcement, Dhillon shared a post on X that expressed gratitude for being picked and said that she looked forward to working with Trump’s nominee for U.S. attorney general, Pam Bondi. I'm extremely honored by President Trump's nomination to assist with our nation's civil rights agenda. It has been my dream to be able to serve our great country, and I am so excited to be part of an incredible team of lawyers led by @PamBondi. I cannot wait to get to work!

I hope I will honor their memories, with God’s grace.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) warned this week that those who are cheering on the downfall of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad should realize that those who conquered might be even worse than he was. Cruz made the remarks on his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson when talking about the stunning collapse of the regime after terrorists launched a campaign that lasted just a little over a week. “His falling is a major loss for Russia. It’s a major loss for Iran. It’s a major loss for Hezbollah, all were allies,” Cruz said. “All are seriously hurt by his falling, but the rebels who have toppled him may well be even worse. It is radical Islamists who have been fighting against him. Many of them are remnants of Al-Qaeda, remnants of the Islamic State, and the people of Syria and Israel and America may soon find that the new leadership is even worse than the old.” Cruz noted that the world is a dangerous place and there are evil dictators who lead countries, but that does not mean toppling those regimes will lead to a better outcome. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “We’ve seen a pattern for the past 20 years of Americans supporting people toppling dictators who are fighting terrorists, only to have the terrorists take over and start fighting Americans instead,” he said. “And my perspective on this is, is this good for America or not? I would say at best, it is too soon to tell.”” He acknowledged that Assad was “a cruel and horrible dictator” and “a monster”, but that this moment felt a lot like other dictators who were toppled, like Saddam Hussein. “They also celebrated the Cuban revolution in 1959, and we have seen many, many times that revolutions of one oppressive dictator can far too often, be replaced by an even worse regime,” he said. “And so, I think this is an exceptionally dangerous time right now and it is going to be important to do everything we can to prevent chemical weapons from falling into the hands of Al-Qaeda terrorists who would use them against Americans.” President Trump put out a strong response to the chaos in Syria. This is a dangerous time right now, and I am grateful that President Trump will bring clear-eyed leadership and stabilize the chaos that Joe Biden’s weakness allowed to unfold.https://t.co/ZU7UaWJeQX pic.twitter.com/yTE2FulnUY — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) December 9, 2024

Several notable figures praised the Manhattan jury on Monday for acquitting 26-year-old Marine veteran Daniel Penny this week of criminally negligent homicide. Penny was accused of putting homeless man Jordan Neely in a fatal chokehold on a New York City subway car last year after he had threatened other passengers on the train. “I have not said much about this case out of fear of (negatively) influencing the jury,” said Vice President-elect J.D. Vance. “But thank God justice was done in this case. It was a scandal Penny was ever prosecuted in the first place.” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis posted on X: “The acquittal of Daniel Penny is clearly the just and correct verdict.” “I must admit I was skeptical that a jury in New York City would reach a unanimous not guilty verdict, and the jury deserves credit for doing the right thing,” he continued. “Meanwhile, is there a worse prosecutor in America than Alvin Bragg?” Professional golfer Phil Mickelson called the ruling “common sense.” “Finally a little common sense. There never should have been a trial,” he said. “He should be commended for selfless actions to protect the other passengers and those who brought charges should be out of a job.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Maye Musk weighed in: “The Daniel Penny case made me so angry. Now it’s over. He is our hero.” “America needs more men like Daniel Penny,” added The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro. “America needs fewer prosecutors like Alvin Bragg.” Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale posted on X: “It’s not a crime to defend women and children; it’s your duty as an honorable man.” “I’m sorry he went through this; we need to stop electing crazy D prosecutors!” he continued, later adding: “We need to give him the hero’s treatment and show that it’s worth it.” Jurors were originally tasked with determining whether Penny “recklessly” caused the death of Neely by using the chokehold – or second-degree manslaughter – or if he was guilty of criminally negligent homicide, a lesser charge that carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison. According to court documents, the lesser charge requires the jury to determine Penny failed to recognize Neely’s life was at risk as he held him in the chokehold. On Friday, the jury indicated it was deadlocked over the manslaughter charge, The Daily Wire reported at the time. Judge Maxwell Wiley initially told the jury to return to deliberations and find a unanimous decision, but they again said they couldn’t. At that point, the judge and Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran discussed the possibility of dropping the manslaughter charge and allowing the jury to deliberate on the lesser charge in an effort to find a guilty verdict. When the Jury returned to work on Monday, it took them less than an hour to return a not guilty verdict for the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide.
