“Basically, they had a standoff with a dog,” Shaniz West’s attorney said at the time. Now, after fighting the corrupt system that left this innocent mother and her children homeless, she is fighting her case all the way up to the Supreme Court, thanks to the Institute of Justice.

Last week’s appointment of U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell to the post of Director of National Intelligence (DNI) received criticism from both sides of the political divide, mainly for his lack of experience and history of outspoken and partisan political statements. Much more overlooked, however, are Grenell’s ties to the powerful American pro-Israel lobby and Israeli politicians alike, including organizations and individuals with a history of espionage and blackmail against the United States.

Whenever you see a political alignment between Jewish New York Sen. Chuck “The Schmuck” Schumer President Donald “Black Pill” Trumpenstein, it means only one thing: some Jews somewhere are somehow benefiting — and probably at your expense.
Such was the case last month, when Trumpenstein signed a bill known as the Securing American Nonprofit Organizations Against Terrorism Act of 2019 (H.R. 2476). The bill authorizes $375 million over the next five years for the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP).
