“In recent years, Virginia has had fewer incidents than neighbors in Maryland and DC, but the national trend of increasing antisemitic incidents has not spared Virginia, and some of the most high-profile antisemitic incidents in recent history have occurred in the Commonwealth. Generally, while the Commonwealth has not seen antisemitic assaults take place since 2018, there has been an increased frequency of antisemitic harassment and antisemitic vandalism at levels which have remained constant from 2018 to 2021,” the report states.

Commentary: Predictably, the Republicans Form Their Circular Firing Squad

Admin

With the disappointing midterms, Republicans have lost a major battle in the fight to restore American greatness. We are now rapidly approaching the final standoff between the flailing Republican Party and the reenergized Democratic Party. The Democrats survived what should have been a political bloodbath in 2022, and the Right seems to be in the most vulnerable position since the 1960s, when Republicans were essentially a permanent minority in Washington.

It could happen again. Whether the GOP returns to minority status in two years will depend on the party determines who will be its nominee in the next presidential election. While many on the Right assume it will be Donald J. Trump, there are other candidates in the offing.

Liberal Activists Target Kanye West’s Adidas Sponsorship

Admin

 by Peter Hasson   The liberal activist group running a powerful boycott campaign against Breitbart News appears to have a new target: Kanye West. The group, Sleeping Giants, has been the driving force behind a boycott against Breitbart, costing the website an estimated 90 percent of their advertisers. The group is now targeting West’s partnership with Adidas, over controversial remarks the rapper made about slavery. West referred to slavery as a “choice” in a Tuesday interview with TMZ. West was talking about black people being “mentally enslaved,” he later claimed. Sleeping Giants is now publicly pressuring Adidas to revisit their partnership with West to sell his shoe brand, Yeezy, as a result of his comments, which came days after he expressed his support for President Donald Trump and conservative activist Candace Owens. Adidas should part ways with the rapper, Sleeping Giants implied on Tuesday. “Pretty wild that @adidas is still going to pump out Yeezys after this,” the group wrote on Twitter. “Athletes have lost their endorsements for far less than saying that slavery was a ‘choice.’” “This feels pretty out of step coming from @adidas,” Sleeping Giants wrote on Twitter, tagging Adidas’s handle to make sure the athletic apparel company got the message. “For a company who owes…
