“A Man Named Jihad” sounds like a Western written by a MAGA activist. And that would make a great movie. But for one American citizen who tried to attend a peaceful political rally it became a nightmare, as The New York Post reports:
A demonstrator named “Jihad” who was at Monday’s chaotic protest against Turning Point USA at the University of California-Berkeley was charged with assault and robbery for an incident at the scene, according to cops.
Jihad Dphrepaulezz, 25, allegedly snatched a chain necklace from an attendee, sparking a vicious fight that left him and the victim covered in blood — as “antifa thugs” clashed with Charlie Kirk supporters exactly two months after the TPUSA founder’s assassination….
“Officers determined that one of the men—Jihad Dphrepaulezz … had stolen the other man’s chain from around his neck. The other man was attempting to get his chain back from Dphrepaulezz,” a rep with the Berkeley Police Department told The Post.
Ah yes. There’s no name so American as “Jihad Dphrepaulezz.” It just rolls off the tongue. And if doesn’t roll off of yours, if you don’t experience this surge of Diversity as “Strength,” then maybe the FBI needs to look into you. Not now. Just wait until the Democrats take back power, by one means or another. Let’s hope that the Trump administration will take appropriate action, as some officials seem to suggest:
BREAKING: Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon says federal CRIMINAL CHARGES are being looked at after Antifa waged war on Turning Point USA last night at UC Berkeley…
…and BOTH the university AND local police are now being investigated.
Our Founders Weren’t Mainlining “Diversity” Straight Into Their Veins
But isn’t it un-American to prefer ethnic harmony over a riot of imported chaos? That’s what the Democrats and the big-money Republicans have been telling us since 2001, when illegal immigrants gave us the terror attacks of September 11. But the U.S. founders didn’t agree, as prophetic Christian conservative Patrick Buchanan has been saying since the early 1990s:
No. The founders would hear themselves echoed in the words of Pat Buchanan.
John Jay, in Federalist No. 2, writes how blessed America was to be a united people with similar ancestors, religion, language and customs.
This “Christian” College Is as Dangerous to Students as Any State University … But Much More Expensive
For 10 years I edited a guide to American universities aimed at conservative, Christian parents and students. One of the schools we used to recommend enthusiastically was Biola University. Sadly, that’s no longer wise advice, as courageous journalist Meghan Basham felt compelled to report at The Daily Wire:
In the year before his death, Charlie Kirk increasingly raised the alarm about the progressive drift in America’s Christian colleges and seminaries. He particularly focused his warnings on one of the largest and most trusted evangelical universities in the country — Southern California’s Biola University.
In one exchange during a stop on his 2024 Brainwashed Tour, he argued that the school had “slipped in its stature as a Christian school” because many of the students graduating “do not believe in the core tenets of the Christian faith.”
“There’s a lot of deconstructionism in the last five years that has been introduced at Biola,” Kirk said….
In recent months, Christian podcasters like Alisa Childers and Krista Bontrager have warned of unbiblical compromises they believe Biola has been making on issues like sexuality, gender identity, and race-based politics.
Childers, particularly popular among moms, said she “cannot recommend it as a safe place [for parents] to send [their] kids.” She cited that the school’s handbook — updated in response to the controversy — promised to work with trans-identifying students to “arrive at decisions around facilities use,” seemingly permitting opposite-sex access.
Childers also voiced concern about The Dwelling, an administration-sanctioned LGBTQ support group that allows “affirming” views denying the sinfulness of gay and transgender behaviors and identities. Finally, she pointed to the school’s decision to host Rich Villodas — a pastor who accused Kirk in the wake of his death of “using words that have caused great harm to black and brown people, to Muslims, and to LGBTQ people” — to speak on “spiritual formation and the Church.”
In other words, you might as well send your kids to the cheapest, closest state university and keep them living at home — avoiding the single most powerful poisonous influence pervasive at modern colleges, the cancer of “campus life.”
Sold-out, once-Christian colleges such as Biola, and Georgetown, and countless other church-founded schools, just need to dry up and vanish — like the indulgence business run by greedy friars that Martin Luther exposed.
The Government Is Working Against the Government, to Make Your Citizenship Worth Nothing
It’s not that the System is rigged. It’s working smoothly, for its own secret purposes. Those purposes just don’t include you, your children, your heritage, or the actual rule of law, as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has discovered. And he’s taking action:

No wonder that GOP insiders were trying to impeach Paxton and remove him from office. He apparently didn’t get the Memo.
Will Germany Send Rapefugees Back Home to the Muslim World?
There has been an epidemic of sexual assaults and other crimes in European countries that accepted Muslim “refugees” (a euphemism for “colonist”). Maybe the problem has something to do with radically different attitudes toward women in countries like Pakistan and Syria, where child-marriage and honor killings are common. And Europeans are getting pretty sick of their imported crime wave, as Politico reports through gritted teeth:
Chancellor Friedrich Merz has a simple message for many of the hundreds of thousands of Syrians who found sanctuary in Germany during their country’s long and brutal civil war: It’s time to go back to Syria.
In reality, it will be hard for Merz to compel a large share of the roughly one million Syrians living in Germany to leave. But under pressure from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, whose leaders vow to forcibly return Syrian refugees en masse, the chancellor is taking a harder line on Germany’s Syrian population, and says he’ll work with Syria’s president, former rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, to do so.
“The civil war in Syria is over,” Merz said earlier this week. “There are now no longer any grounds for asylum in Germany, which means we can begin repatriating people.” …
The right-wing debate around Wadephul’s comments seems to have forced Merz to contradict his foreign minister and take a harder stance on Syrian repatriations — though it remains to be seen how far his government will really go, particularly as Merz is governing in coalition with the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), whose members advocate a softer approach. SPD leaders, in fact, praised Wadephul for what they saw as his realism on the matter.
That’s one reason it will be hard for Merz to outcompete the AfD on his new tough-on-migration turn. AfD leaders, from a comfortable perch in the opposition, are taking a maximalist position, depicting Syrians in Germany — hundreds of thousands of whom continue to receive basic income support — as a unnecessary drain on German taxpayers for which only Merz’s conservatives can be held responsible.
“We say quite clearly: Syrians must now have their protected status revoked because the reason for their fleeing no longer applies,” AfD co-leader Alice Weidel said on Tuesday. “These people must return to their homeland,” she went on. “If they do not leave voluntarily, they must be deported, with force.”
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Along The Stream
