[WND] The famed Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, long a popular commentator on both legal and social issues, and long a Democrat, says Barack Obama should apologize for his anti-Semitic attitude.
"But he won't."
The stunning announcement from Dershowitz that he no longer considers Obama someone worth talking to came in a report in Fox Business.
Call me when he actually votes against the Democrat.
The reaction was triggered by Obama's recent comments, at a "democracy forum," in which he adopted the leftist language that condemns Israel for its "occupation."
Obama demanded a two-state solution to the conflict in the Middle East, a solution that Palestinians have rejected over and over in recent years, and an end to "occupation."

Congrats, guys. You’ve reached the consequences stage of your efforts.
[DAILYWIRE] The U.S. credit rating was given a negative outlook by Moody’s Investor Service in part due to the ballooning U.S. debt.
Moody’s, a global credit rating provider, made the projection on Friday, changing its assessment of the American credit from stable to negative. The news comes as spending and inflation have remained high throughout the Biden administration.
"In the context of higher interest rates, without effective fiscal policy measures to reduce government spending or increase revenues," Moody’s said in a statement. "Moody’s expects that the U.S.’ fiscal deficits will remain very large, significantly weakening debt affordability."
The rating’s agency also said the decision was based in part on political polarization.
"Continued political polarization within U.S. Congress raises the risk that successive governments will not be able to reach consensus on a fiscal plan to slow the decline in debt affordability," Moody’s said.

Took them a rather long time to admit what is happening for years if not decades.
[RedState] In what would be a stunning development, Republicans could end up winning the Virginia State Senate despite falling one seat short on Tuesday.
According to investigative reporter Luke Rosiack, Democrat Ghazala Hashmi, who won 62 percent of the vote in Virginia's Senate District 15, allegedly lied about her residency in multiple instances. Not only could that disqualify her electoral win, but lying on an election form is also a felony.
Virginia Senate candidates are required to live in the district they are running for, and Hashmi filed candidacy paperwork saying she lived in an apartment on Boulder Lake Drive in North Chesterfield in Senate District 15.
But four neighbors filed a complaint saying she actually lives outside the district on Bosham Lane in Midlothian, and they provided a spreadsheet saying they had driven by the house 62 times during the month of October to document her residency. The notes include her car being there late at night and early in the morning, and her leaving the house shortly after 8 a.m. It also includes photographic evidence.
This is where things go from bad to worse for Hashmi. It seems fairly clear that she simply rented an apartment in District 15 as a way to get around the residency requirement. Still, spreadsheets of her movements would be largely circumstantial and hard to argue in court. After all, what is the legal line for someone to actually live in the place they are renting in order for it to count as their primary residence? That would be something for a judge to clarify.
The problem for Hashmi, though, is that she also didn't claim her $600,000 home in Midlothian when she filled out her Certificate of Candidacy Qualification. That is a felony, and it also shows an intent to hide where she really lives.
To make the case further, Hashmi's residence in Midlothian was in her old district (District 12) before re-districting. She only rented the apartment in question after deciding to run in District 15, likely due to its new partisan lean. If that's not technically breaking residency laws regarding candidates, it's certainly breaking the spirit of them.
Hashmi's opponent, Hayden Fisher, is pledging to stop the certification of the election and have her disqualified.
Fisher told The Daily Wire, "I plan to stop them from certifying the election. She’s disqualified, that means I ran unopposed as a matter of law."
"There’s no question whatsoever that she does not live in that apartment," he said. "She definitely clearly intentionally lied on that form. And she does not reside in the district so she should not represent it."
"She made no genuine effort to actually move into the district, she just rented an apartment. Why don’t you just sell your house and move into the district? She just doesn’t even care. The arrogance is mind boggling," he said.
This seems very open and shut as far as the legalities go. The question is whether any judge will be willing to do the right thing and fully adjudicate the issue. Hopefully, the Virginia GOP is already on the case getting legal challenges prepared. Lying on an election form and misleading voters about one's residence should not be taken lightly. If someone can get away with that, it only promotes more cheating in elections, and to be clear, that's what this is if everything alleged is true.

[Gateway] 70 House Republicans voted on Wednesday to reward Chris Wray’s FBI with a new $300 million headquarters allegedly larger than the Pentagon.
The estimated cost of the new headquarters is more than $2 billion.
The vote passed as heavily armed FBI SWAT Teams with hounds were chasing a retired Army Sgt and Iraq War Veteran through the woods of New Jersey for his actions on January 6.
The FBI SWAT teams raided Gregory Yetman’s home on Wednesday. They trashed his house, detained his brothers, notified the local media before the raid, and then they let the hounds lose on Yetman after he fled into the woods.
As this was taking place 70 House Republicans voted to reward the FBI in hopes that they will target and arrest more of their voters.
Since Joe Biden took office FBI SWAT Team have stalked and arrested over 1,200 Trump supporters who attended the Jan. 6, 2021 protests at the US Capitol.
At least 80% of these FBI raids and arrests were for non-violent crimes like standing outside the US Capitol that day.
70 House Republicans want more of this. They really like the idea.
The FBI has also targeted Catholics, Christians, pro-life Americans, parents at school board meetings, journalists, and President Trump.
