Turkish Muslim Takeover of Hagia Sophia is Vandalizing the Church


Whether it's in India, Israel or Turkey, Muslims take over the holy places of the people whom they conquered and colonized, and then proceed to build their own victory mosques, or transform existing holy sites into mosques, while doing as much damage as they can to the site.

The Islamist Erdogan regime, a brutal dictator who retains the backing of most western governments, and whom Obama praised as a role model, chose to undo a major secularist post-Ottoman reform by seizing the Hagia Sophia to turn the former church, which had been a museum, into a mosque.

Erdogan's Islamist hijacking of the Hagia Sophia was no different than the Taliban blowing up Buddhist statues or ISIS destroying archeological remains. And yet the world insists on pretending that Erdogan is somehow different because he claims the mantle of Islamist "democracy".

And meanwhile the Islamist vandalism continues apace.
A number of marble tiles on the floor of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, which was turned back into a mosque in 2020 after serving as a historical museum for decades, have reportedly been cracked by heavy machinery used to clean the building last week. According to the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet, a tour guide on the site said, “This historic building has faced tremendous damage. When Hagia Sophia was a museum, people visited it with great respect. It’s like a fairground now.”
Or more specifically a victory mosque and the purpose of a victory mosque is to proclaim, "Allahu Akbar", the supremacy of Islam through force by humiliating the "infidels".
According to Arie Amaya-Akkermans, a classicist and fervent cultural commentator based in Istanbul, the reconversion of the building into a mosque is a symbol of contemporary Turkey, “where heritage of the ‘other’ is destroyed and plundered in broad daylight to make way for uncontrolled development or simply for the pleasure of vandalism.”
That's Islam.

What's Going On With Google Maps?

Driving across the country, we sometimes used Google Maps to navigate. When you are in unfamiliar towns, it’s handy. I also find that the navigation built into my cars has been subpar compared to my phone.

I noticed that something might be up with Google Maps when we dropped off a car at the airport in Minneapolis. Instead of using interstate to get us to the airport, it took us through a very sketchy neighborhood. It would have been far more accessible, and safer to use the interstate. Plus I would have had a smoother road.

I have also noticed that Google will direct you on the best route for “global warming”. Personally, I just want to get to where I am going in the speediest and safest way possible. I don’t really care about global warming and I don’t want to be made to care.

Are they doing this to direct people into minority-owned businesses and travel to minority neighborhoods on purpose? I have nothing against it, but I do know that I wouldn’t intentionally navigate to a place like Englewood in the city of Chicago just to save a few minutes driving.

It’s not an isolated incident. It’s happened a lot to us in our travels. During my weekend at the Kentucky Derby, I had to drive from Cincinnati to Louisville. I saw some rough neighborhoods in Louisville following the Google navigation.

I wonder if “my betters” at Google have re-engineered their algorithm? If they have, maybe...

The J6 Show Trial Is Lying About Election ‘Fraud’


The January 6 show trial is partly about persecuting political opponents. But it’s also about covering up the truth of the 2020 election.

The purpose of the January 6 committee is to further the lie that there was nothing seriously wrong with the 2020 election and to criminalize any questioning of the election. The January 6 riot gives the committee a nice hook, but that’s not what they really care about.

They want to prevent you from admitting the election was irregular, faulty, or anything less than the most perfect election in the history of mankind, and from supporting people who fought against those irregularities. In service of this goal, the January 6 committee repeatedly lied about the actual claims Donald Trump supporters have made about the flaws in the election.

The January 6 Committee is conducting a show trial, not a criminal one. Show trials, common in authoritarian regimes, are held for propaganda purposes, to punish political opponents, and to cover up the truth of what the regime has done.

Democrats’ show trial is completely one-sided. The members on the committee were appointed exclusively by Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. There are zero Republican-appointed members. In fact, Pelosi refused to allow the top Republicans Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy picked for the committee — an unprecedented violation of House rules and norms.

No one represents the accused or advocates for their rights. No cross-examination or presentation of a defense has been allowed from the targets of the trial. The committee does not follow House rules on evidence or witness depositions. The so-called investigation has declared off-limits any good-faith inquiry into issues that contradict their persecution, whether a look at what led to the lack of security by Capitol police forces or a look at the legitimate concerns about the unique and novel way the 2020 election was conducted.

The show trial is deeply and profoundly un-American. This week’s “surprise” hearing has already imploded under the weight of the inaccurate testimony given by young staff assistant Cassandra Hutchinson. But last Thursday’s episode also deserves scrutiny for the lies it contained.

That hearing was focused on Jeffrey Clark, a Department of Justice (DOJ) official during the Trump administration who had proposed more aggressive investigative and legal efforts in the controversial aftermath of the 2020 election than many of his peers. Incidentally, among the growing concerns about a ream of false statements given is a report that...

The Accelerating Purge


Buckle up, America. This only gets worse from here.

One week after a team of thugs working for Democratic Party activist Stephen Colbert were arrested for illegally entering a Capitol building in order to record themselves stalking Republican congressional leaders, news coverage of the incident has all but disappeared. Neither the U.S. Capitol Police, the arresting agency, nor the Department of Justice has produced any details of the gang’s unauthorized incursion into two Capitol buildings with the blessing of Representative Adam Schiff (R-Calif.) and two other Democratic House members.

It appears the Capitol Police chief has not yet responded to a demand by Reps. James Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) for all footage, photographs, and witness statements documenting the crew’s activities on June 16 including accusations they banged on the doors of female legislators such as Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.); it further appears that no one is demanding a congressional ethics investigation into Schiff’s participation in leading a “tour” of Colbert’s insurrectionists through the buildings, including after hours. Following a brief detainment, Colbert’s thugs went home, spared pre-dawn raids by armed FBI agents and days, if not months, of incarceration while a federal judge determines whether they should stay behind bars awaiting trial.

In fact, Colbert’s insurrectionists will avoid the kangaroo court known as the D.C. District Court overseeing hundreds of similar charges related to the January 6 protest on Capitol Hill. Fox News reported on Thursday that the defendants associated with Colbert’s show will appear in D.C. Superior Court in late July. (The court’s website contains no information about the case.) Simply put, every January 6 case is handled as a federal crime while the conduct of Team Colbert is considered a local offense, even though it occurred in the exact same venue.

Trump supporters who protested Joe Biden’s election are branded terrorists by Joe Biden’s Justice Department and treated accordingly; Trump foes who harass Republican lawmakers and mock the families of January 6 detainees in public are considered “comedians” by the same set of prosecutors, then let off the hook for engaging in more threatening behavior than most who participated in the Capitol protest.

That wasn’t the only example this week of the double standard of justice in Joe Biden’s America.

On the same day Fox News disclosed that Colbert’s producers would get preferential Beltway treatment for pals of the regime, the FBI arrested Daniel “Hatchet” Speed, a Navy reservist and January 6 protester, on four misdemeanors: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.

Nothing Speed is accused of doing on January 6 is worse than what Colbert’s crew did on June 16. Speed entered the Senate wing door around 2:50 p.m., about 30 minutes after the joint session of Congress recessed and the Capitol was evacuated. Capitol police stood nearby, chatting with protesters. Speed walked around the Rotunda and exited at 3:35 p.m. By all accounts, Speed didn’t carry a weapon or assault police officers or even bang on the office doors of sitting members of Congress.

But the FBI has tracked his moves ever since and Big Tech, per usual, lended a hand. “Amazon produced data indicating that [Speed] purchased a black Under Armour Sports face mask on December 3, 2020, resembling the mask he can be seen wearing inside the Capitol,” the government’s criminal complaint detailed. “Amazon data also indicates that SPEED purchased a black Samurai Tactical Wakizashi Tactical backpack on Amazon.com on November 24, 2020. Both items resemble the mask and backpack SPEED can be see wearing in U.S. Capitol Police (video) footage.”

In January, more than a year after the four-hour disturbance at the Capitol, the FBI photographed Speed outside his home as it conducted surveillance on the nonviolent subject. As if that wasn’t enough, the FBI hired an informant in March to get more information from Speed. Portraying himself as a “like-minded individual,” the FBI snitch met twice with Speed to get him to talk about what he did on January 6. Speed admitted he went to the Capitol to hear the debate over the 2020 election results but instead encountered law enforcement “hitting us with tear gas, hitting us with rubber bullets and all kinds of things.” He said he climbed a staircase inside the building to avoid Antifa agitators and to stop “getting tear gassed.”

Speed’s life will now be destroyed by the media, federal prosecutors, and D.C. judges. Like at least 200 January 6 defendants, Speed likely will plead guilty to “parading” in the Capitol yet face months in prison for the petty offense. His neighbors and friends will turn on him; local reporters will hound him incessantly; and a judge will berate him for participating in an attempt to...
