As you’ve probably heard by now, Donald Trump held a Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Sure, it wasn’t a Nazi rally by name. He didn’t call it a Nazi rally. There wasn’t any Nazi paraphernalia or Nazi flags or swastikas. There wasn’t anything Nazi related at all. But he did hold his rally in a venue where Nazis held a rally back in 1939. Is that a coincidence? The Nazis rallied at Madison Square Garden and then suddenly, practically the very next day — or, like, 31 thousand days later, give or take, but who’s counting — Donald Trump and his MAGA minions are gathering at the exact same spot. What other conclusion can we draw here?  If Nazis were in a certain venue and then 85 years later other people are in the same venue, are we not forced to conclude that the second group of people must also be Nazis? Is it conceivable that two different groups, separated by nearly a century, could gather in the same building for different reasons? No, it is not conceivable. It is, in fact, impossible. That’s the math that the media and the Kamala Harris campaign are doing. Here was Tim Walz sending up the warning flag before the rally:   A direct parallel, he says. What is the parallel? Well, how much more explicit can it be? There were Nazis in that building 85 years ago. Then on Sunday other people were in the building. The Nazi building. What would they be doing there, except Nazi stuff? This is the point that many high profile Democrats made. Hillary Clinton denounced the rally as a Nazi gathering. As she put it, Trump is “reenacting” the Nazi rally: No, we can’t ignore it. She’s right. MSNBC made the case as well:  There you have it. If you aren’t convinced, you can read the Washington Post column published on Monday with this headline: “Another night at the Garden: How Trump’s rally echoed one in 1939.” You should read the piece, but in case you don’t have time: it echoed the Nazi rally because it was in the same place as a Nazi rally. That’s the whole argument. And what other argument needs to be made? It’s utterly decisive. Meanwhile, Mika Brzezinski appeared as a guest on “The View” on Monday, where she nearly brought the collective IQ at the table to room temperature level. It was slightly above room temperature before she got there. Mika warned that we are in the “final hours” and must do everything we can to stop the man who holds “Nazi-type rallies”: Now you might ask: isn’t Madison Square Garden a major venue where lots of events are held every week? Yes, and that should tell you the scope of this problem. In fact, I went on Ticketmaster this morning and saw that there is a Cyndi Lauper concert — the “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” tour — happening at Madison Square Garden this week. This is tragic for her fans, but the conclusion is inescapable: Cyndi Lauper is a Nazi. Girls just wanna be Nazis, apparently. Duran Duran is holding a Nazi rally the very next day at MSG. Nazism is absolutely rife in the 80s music scene. 90s bands aren’t much better. As you can see if you check the events schedule, Dave Matthews Band and Creed are having their own Nazi rallies at Madison Square Garden in November. I’m not surprised about Creed, frankly, but I’m very disappointed in Dave Matthews. Here’s an interesting and disturbing note: The New York Knicks are having 41 Nazi rallies at Madison Square Garden in the next few months. Nazism is alive and well among NBA players, just as we always suspected. WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show This is the way it works now. Every large gathering of people is a Nazi rally if it happens at a place where there was once a large gathering of Nazis. Of course, needless to say, this doesn’t count the 1992 DNC held at Madison Square Garden, or the Ralph Nader Green Party rally in 2000. There are exceptions to every rule. Let’s not dwell on those. Let’s just get back to the main point, which is that Donald Trump is literally a Nazi. Maybe you aren’t convinced yet. Maybe, in your wild imagination, you have concocted fanciful hypothetical scenarios where Trump held a rally in Madison Square Garden because it’s a really big arena that fits lots of people, and not because Nazi sympathizers gathered there eight and a half decades ago. I find that sort of speculation to be ludicrous, but fine. Then how do you explain the other parallels between Trump and Hitler? Consider this. Donald Trump, as you may have noticed, almost always wears suits. It seems kind of odd. In an era where most politicians are dressing more casually, Trump insists on the suit. Sort of a strange quirk. It doesn’t really make sense. Until you connect the dots. As you can see here, someone else has also been documented wearing suits: This is deeply troubling. Adolf Hitler was known to sit at a table and eat dinner. Donald Trump has also been documented sitting at tables and eating dinner. Is this just a “coincidence,” or is it yet another Nazi MAGA dog whistle? pic.twitter.com/BeJLoT2UmZ — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) October 28, 2024 The parallels run even deeper. Recall that infamous photo of Trump eating a taco salad on Cinco De Mayo. That was traumatizing already just for the cultural appropriation alone. Not to mention the fact that he didn’t even have guacamole on his taco salad, which is a totally bizarre and inexplicable choice. Instead, think about how he was eating the salad. He was sitting in a chair at a table. Again: that seems strange. You think to yourself: why is he eating at a table? Why a table, of all things? Well, it turns out that someone else was also photographed eating dinner at a table:  This is deeply troubling. Adolf Hitler was known to sit at a table and eat dinner. Donald Trump has also been documented sitting at tables and eating dinner. Is this just a “coincidence,” or is it yet another Nazi MAGA dog whistle? pic.twitter.com/BeJLoT2UmZ — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) October 28, 2024 Have you seen enough yet? How many coincidences do you need? Hitler sat at a table. Trump sat at a table. Hitler wore a suit. Trump wore a suit. People who liked Hitler went to Madison Square Garden once. Trump went to Madison Square Garden. The conclusion follows with mathematical certainty: Trump is a Nazi. Cyndi Lauper is a Nazi. The Knicks are Nazis. The dots all connect. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ I think I’ve proven the case beyond any reasonable doubt at this point. But I do want to address the most outlandish rebuttal from the Nazi sympathizers. They will sometimes point out that Trump was actually already president. He was in office for an entire term. If he’s a fascist dictator, then we should be able to look and see that he did a whole bunch of fascist dictator stuff while in office. But, as these naysayers point out, he didn’t. In fact, Trump was the first president in decades to refrain from starting any new wars or invading any new countries. Trump did not use his presidential powers to install himself as a dictator for life. He did not end democracy. He did not take any steps to make himself into the autocratic ruler of the country. In fact, Trump signed fewer executive orders than Obama, Bush, and Clinton. If you’re judging Trump by how he actually governed, you are forced to conclude that he was the least power hungry president in the past 100 years. He was remarkably restrained, if anything. At least that’s how the argument goes. I find it deeply unconvincing. Just because Trump didn’t do something in the past, that doesn’t mean he won’t do it in the future. Indeed, the fact that he didn’t do it in the past only means that he will do it in the future. Think about it. As an analogy, Trump was the burglar casing the house before he makes his move. Just because the burglar drives away without stealing anything, doesn’t mean that he won’t in the future. Of course, in this case, the burglar was actually in the house, for four years, and didn’t do anything. Actually if a burglar is in your house for four years and doesn’t steal anything then it’s really good evidence that he’s not a burglar. So that analogy isn’t helpful. But forget about that. The point is that this is all part of Donald Trump’s plan. He refrained from anointing himself Supreme Ruler during his first term, only so that we would be lulled into a false sense of security. He is like a snake, coiled up and waiting to strike. He is a Hitler who didn’t govern like Hitler, so that later he could govern like Hitler. It’s all part of the plan, part of the spell that he casts. And you know who else casts spells? Well, that’s Voldemort actually. But also Hitler. Think about it.

The IRS agents who raised concerns about how the inquiry into Hunter Biden was proceeding were surprised by a congratulatory email from a supervisor after the first son pleaded guilty to a slew of federal tax charges last month, according to a report released Tuesday. Journalist Catherine Herridge revealed the email and published video of an interview with IRS investigators Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who last year emerged as whistleblowers alleging the probe had been slow-walked by top officials in a way that could have precluded charges. “I just wanted to take a moment and thank you all for your efforts in the investigation and conviction on the Sportsman investigation,” said the email, a copy of which Herridge posted to X with the names of the sender and recipients other than Shapley and Ziegler redacted.

Thank you to your commitment to the mission, which culminated in a great conviction,” added the email, which featured the logo of the IRS Criminal Investigation division. Herridge said in her video report that Shapley and Ziegler were “shocked” by the email. During the interview, she asked them to respond to what the email said. “I honestly couldn’t believe that it happened,” Ziegler said. “I literally — the first person that I called was Gary, and I’m like, ‘Can you believe that this was sent?'” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Shapley told Herridge: “Those are words that are not supported by the actions of the agency.” After reading aloud the last sentence of the email’s message, Herridge looked at Shapley and said, “I almost see you rolling your eyes as I read this. Now you’re shaking your head.” Shapley declared: “This to me was someone who knows that [an] IRS watchdog right now is looking into the way that they’ve handled this and they see the writing on the wall, and this really is an example of just covering their backside like a true bureaucracy.” While Hunter Biden has sued the IRS over the alleged inappropriate release of confidential taxpayer information, Shapley and Ziegler insist they have followed the proper whistleblower procedures and recently filed a defamation lawsuit against the first son’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell. The guilty plea in the tax case took place in California. Biden was also convicted this year in a drug case in Delaware. Charges in these matters arose following the collapse of what critics panned as a “sweetheart” plea deal in the investigation led by special counsel David Weiss. During the interview, Shapley claimed the IRS had essentially sidelined him and that his career “is over” while Ziegler decried being “up against a machine that has millions of dollars, that has the ability to fight me and to really wear you down.” Herridge’s video noted that the IRS did not respond for comment and Hunter Biden’s attorney did not answer questions before publication.

'We've got a great shot'

At least Anthony gets the rest that he wants

Batman is a hero for stopping the criminals threatening the people of Gotham City. Daniel Penny is on trial for stopping a criminal threatening the people of New York City. It doesn’t get much more backward than this. On Monday, jury selection began in Penny’s trial. Prosecutors have charged him with second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely. In May 2023, Penny encountered Neely on a NYC subway. Neely was acting erratically and threatening passengers. Witnesses have testified that Neely said, “Someone is going to die today.” That was no idle threat. Filemon Castillo Baltazar said Neely punched him in the face while he waited on an NYC subway platform in 2019. Two years later, police arrested Neely for smacking a 67-year-old woman in the face. Court documents say he broke her nose and orbital bone. She also had “substantial” head pain. In all, Neely had more than 40 arrests, including an active warrant for that 2021 assault. Put yourself in their shoes. You’re trapped on a subway car with a madman who’s threatening to murder someone. According to grand jury testimony, one subway rider believed he or she was “going to die” based on Neely’s behavior. A mother hid herself and her son behind a stroller. Passengers called 911. There’s nowhere to run to. There’s no place to hide. Most people can’t fight back successfully. This is when you wish superheroes were real. You need Batman to sweep in and save the day. That’s what Penny did, sans the cape. Risking his own life, the former Marine put Neely into a submission hold. Two other passengers helped Penny restrain Neely as he continued to resist. After Neely went limp, Penny helped put him in the recovery position. Sadly, Neely passed away. The NYC medical examiner said he died from the compression of his neck. Neely also had K2, a synthetic cannabinoid, in his system. It can cause violent outbursts and lead to seizures and death. This incident wouldn’t have been national news except for two things. One, a passenger recorded some of it. Two, Neely was black while Penny is white. Leftists quickly demanded that Penny be charged. “Jordan Neely was murdered,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., tweeted at the time. She called it “disgusting” that “the murderer gets protected with passive headlines plus no charges.” That’s right. Police didn’t immediately arrest Penny. That makes sense because he clearly acted in self-defense. But the Left kept ramping up the pressure. “Black people just don’t have to worry about being strangled by police, but by a regular citizen feeling empowered and supported by elected officials,” Rashad Robinson, president of Color of Change, said in May 2023. This is crazy. Black people don’t have to worry about being strangled by “regular” citizens. People who physically threaten others do—regardless of their skin color. Eventually, NYC officials gave into the mob. Prosecutors knew they couldn’t make a murder charge stick. Penny didn’t intentionally try to kill anyway. These lesser charges contend that Penny either acted recklessly or failed “to perceive a substantial and unjustifiable risk.” Notice the double standard. Leftists don’t want Neely held responsible for what happened after he recklessly threatened people. But they do want Penny held responsible for—after risking his own life—supposedly holding a submission hold for a few seconds too long. A healthy society would laud Penny as a hero. That praise would inspire other men to intervene in violent situations. Their actions and locking up the criminals would then reduce subway crime. Instead, NYC wants to send Penny to jail, potentially for more than a decade. In superhero terms, it’s trying to jail Batman for stopping the Joker. What a travesty.

THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The Biden-Harris administration released data earlier this month suggesting its push to electrify everything will ratchet up costs for American households, contradicting one of the White House’s favorite selling points for its green agenda, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Biden-Harris administration has cracked down on residential fossil fuel consumption, a key aspect of its environmental strategy, justifying the push in part on the grounds that electrification will lower energy costs. Now, residential energy price data released Oct. 17 by the Department of Energy shows electricity was roughly four times as expensive as natural gas in 2024, with experts telling the Daily Caller News Foundation that the White House’s electrification push is an example of extremist climate policy that hurts everyday Americans. “The Department of Energy has consistently shown that natural gas is a much cheaper energy source for households than electricity,” Daren Bakst, director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Center for Energy and Environment, said. “Government policies trying to block the use of natural gas in favor of electricity will significantly drive up prices, making home heating and appliance use needlessly expensive,” Bakst said. “The poor will get hurt the most because, compared to higher-income households, they spend a greater share of their household income on meeting basic needs such as staying warm in the winter.” AOC Attacks Republicans Over Gas StovesOCASIO-CORTEZ: "I do think it's funny, the…absolute…Republican meltdown…'You can't take my gas stove…How dare you…You have a gas stove.' "First of all, I rent." pic.twitter.com/F32HhSzEga— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) January 13, 2023 The Biden-Harris Energy Department has issued a slew of rules restricting the use of gas appliances, including revised standards for furnaces in September 2023 that could prohibit 40% to 60% of gas furnaces in homes, and increased efficiency requirements for water heaters that the agency claimed would save U.S. consumers $11.4 billion on energy and water bills every year. The Oct. 17 data shows electricity was significantly more expensive than fossil fuels, with a price of $47.36 per million British Thermal Units (BTU) compared to $13.38 and $33.59 per million BTU for natural gas and propane, respectively. Thus, according to the Biden-Harris administration’s own data, switching from gas-powered appliances to electric appliances could increase utility costs by over 3.5 times, in addition to heightened installation costs. “One of the most offensive bait-and-switch moves being played by officials in Washington, D.C., and coastal enclaves is the push to force electric appliances on everyone, everywhere, even when natural gas can often be dramatically cheaper,” O.H. Skinner, executive director of the Alliance for Consumers and former solicitor general of Arizona, told the Daily Caller News Foundation “The officials push the idea that bans on gas stoves, or gas furnaces, or other gas appliances will save on energy costs, but at the same time they have evidence that natural gas is cheaper,” Skinner said, adding, “It’s time that officials in D.C. stopped trying to micromanage people’s lives and make everyone hew to a one size fits all approach to their homes.” Energy sector expert Robert Bryce accused the Biden-Harris administration of purposely delaying the release of the price data Oct. 3, citing the fact that, at least since 2011, the Energy Department otherwise hasn’t published the information any later than August. At the time—two weeks before the data was published—Bryce predicted the agency was stonewalling because the cost figures would reflect the high costs of electricity relative to fossil fuels, which has proven to be accurate. “This electrification push is a typical example of climate extremism,” Bakst said. “There’s little to no consideration of how these policies will hurt Americans and the poor.” An “electrification summit” held by the White House in December 2022 included the nongovernmental organization Rewiring America, which previously has stated its goal is to “electrify everything.” The Energy Department didn’t respond to a request for comment.
