Lifelong Democrat and renowned Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz on Friday announced he has left the Democrat party.

Ghosts in the Machine
How is it that our country turned into some kind of theme park spook ride, a cheesy-looking haunted house of programmed frights, howling holograms, phantoms with their hair on fire, doors slamming open on glimpses of hell, ill-winds and foul odors, climaxing in a tableau vivant of death-in-life neverending?
I’m sure that this will surprise you, but you can choose to be sane. How? You take care of your business conscientiously; you steer in the direction of what is true and away from what is false; you find purpose in your existence by discovering your talents and using them in ways that do not bring harm to other people; you seek the company of kindred spirits. . . love the one you’re with. . . work hard so you can rest easy. . . express your gratitude for being here. That’s a start.
Muslim resident of Toronto arrested over alleged Oct. 7 New York terror plot
U.S. authorities say a Canadian resident has been arrested in Quebec over an alleged Islamic State terror plot to kill Jewish people in New York.
The U.S. Department of Justice says Pakistani national Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, also known as Shahzeb Jadoon, was arrested on Wednesday in relation to the attack it says was to take place around Oct. 7, the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel last year.
New details emerge on Iranian-backed plot to potentially assassinate Trump, Haley or Biden
Four days after former President Donald Trump came inches from death during a campaign rally, federal investigators interviewed a man charged in an Iran-backed plot to potentially assassinate the 45th president or two of his political rivals — President Biden or former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, according to an FBI document made public Thursday.
Asif Merchant, 46, a Pakistani man charged in the scheme, recounted his dealings with handler Mehardad Yousef, according to a proffer agreement released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who obtained it from law enforcement whistleblowers.
Foreign Automaker Stellantis Lays Off Thousands of Michigan Workers after Pocketing Hundreds of Millions in Biden EV Subsidies
A multinational automaker laid off more than 2,000 American workers in August after benefiting handsomely from the Biden administration’s subsidies for electric-vehicle production.
Stellantis, the parent company to famous brands like Ram and Jeep, has been awarded hundreds of millions in grants from the federal government to promote its EV manufacturing. But the Biden administration’s largesse has not prevented the company from laying off American workers.
Dallas police confirm Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is in Texas city unleashing chaos
In a startling and surprising admission, the Dallas Police Department confirmed Tren De Aragua is in North Texas committing crimes, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The notorious South American mob best known for sex trafficking girls and women and exploiting their fellow Venezuelans, crossed the US-Mexico border in recent years- as DailyMail.com was first to report- mixed in with asylum-seeking migrants, and is behind a crime wave stretching from Miami to New York.
Last week in Aurora, Colorado, gang members were seen in a video storming an apartment complex armed to the hilt with assault rifles and banging on doors.

America’s Crime Wave Is Even Worse Than It Seems as Law Enforcement Collapses
Law enforcement in America has collapsed. Americans in many parts of the country see that products at CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart stores are behind plexiglass, that you must call a clerk to unlock the glass and then wait while you read and examine the different packages.
People know these companies have no choice. Americans know that crime is rising, but the true collapse in law enforcement, particularly at large cities, is without precedent.
Week Before 9/11, Islamic Terrorists March Through Manhattan
Could anyone have imagined twenty years ago or even in the darkest days of the Obama administration that Islamic terrorists would feel free to rampage across the streets of Manhattan waving terrorist flags?

Hamas Is Not Afraid of the Biden-Harris Administration
Think there are real consequences associated with kidnapping and murdering U.S. citizens? Think again.
Perhaps the most affecting moment of the Democratic Party’s nominating convention was the speech given by the parents of Hamas hostage and U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
The 23-year-old captive’s parents showed all the anguish and anxiety that would befall anyone in their unendurable position. With wavering voices, they recounted Hersh’s story. An attendee of the Nova music festival, he was featured in one of the grizzly videos Hamas terrorists took of their demonic works, being dragged off into Gaza after part of his left arm had been blown off by a hand grenade — a wound he suffered while attempting to save his friends from a similar fate. As television cameras at the DNC wheeled around to the audience, attendees could be seen brushing away tears. Democrats felt every ounce of their pain. Together with Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, the attendees resolved to “bring them home.”
I have never had the sense that the Biden admin wished to acknowledge that American citizens were among the hostages as if to do so would mean commitment by default to the Israeli side.
Terrifyingly Plausible: Why You’re Wrong to Think Civil War Can’t Happen Here
Demographer, historian, and author Neil Howe hasn’t just coined the term “Millennial,” he’s also predicted the future to an eerie degree—and he thinks America’s in for very rough seas ahead. He says a civil war in the U.S. is far more plausible than most people think, and he dismisses the reasons Americans often discount that possibility.
In 1997, he published a book with Bill Strauss, “The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy—What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America’s Next Rendezvous with Destiny.” In that book, he suggested five catalysts for a major crisis—and four of the five have already come to pass.
The Venezuelan practice of property invasions has emigrated to America
Viral footage showing armed Venezuelan gang members taking over an apartment complex in a Denver suburb has shocked thousands, especially after Mayor Mike Coffman of Aurora, Colorado joined Fox News’s Sandra Smith on Thursday to explain how failed border policies are affecting his city — which is around 700 miles away from the US-Mexico border. In the interview, Coffman confirmed that at least two apartment buildings in Aurora were taken by what some suspect are members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang.
Turkey detains 15 members of anti-American youth group for assaulting 2 U.S. servicemen
ANKARA, Turkey — Turkish authorities on Monday detained 15 members of an anti-American youth organization who physically assaulted two U.S. military personnel in the city of Izmir, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
The agency said members of the Turkish Youth Union, which is affiliated with the Patriotic Party — a small, nationalist political party without parliament seats — were detained on the orders of a prosecutor.
The group posted a video of the incident on social media platform X and said they placed sacks over the heads of soldiers who had disembarked from the U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship USS Wasp.

Top Pollster Predicts Who Will Lose the Debate
Personally, I think it’s doubtful that Kamala Harris will even show up for the debate planned for September 10, but if she does, polling expert Frank Luntz predicts she will lose that debate based on her performance during her CNN interview last week.
Why a Kamala Harris presidency wouldn’t necessarily be good news for Canada
If Kamala Harris’s campaign to become president of the United States is so far a matter of joyful vibes, then they’ve certainly been felt in Canada. Two thirds of Canadians told a recent survey they hold favourable views of the vice president, and a third say they’re relieved by the apparently revived challenge she and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pose to the Republican ticket.
But although much of this enthusiasm is likely driven by a parallel dislike of former president Donald Trump (three-quarters of respondents), it might also be contributing to the perception that the Harris-Walz Democratic ticket will be especially good for Canada.
Northern border sector continuing to break records in apprehensions
