HMM: Hamas dismantles government to allow Board of Peace-approved panel to take over. “Anonymous officials from the Gaza-based terrorist group announced the dissolution to AFP on Monday after preliminary reports swirled late Sunday evening. The officials confirmed that the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, created by President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, would fill the power vacuum in the Gaza Strip.”

It isn’t so much who serves on the Board of Peace now, but who gets slipped in once our attention is elsewhere.

CALIFORNIA MAGA STRONGHOLD ERUPTS AFTER SHOCK RULING ON CONSERVATIVE PARADISE: ‘They’re coming after us.’

Huntington Beach has erupted after a judge ordered the city to adopt ranked-choice voting for council members — amid fears it could destroy the Republican supermajority.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Craig Griffin ruled late June that the MAGA enclave needs to move away from its at-large system after a years-long court battle.

A wave of Southern California municipalities have been forced to change the way they vote in recent years as courts found at-large is unfavorable to minority voters under the California Voting Rights.

The push is being led by Malibu’s activist Democratic lawyer Kevin Shenkman, who has spent decades suing and threatening cities across the region to stop at-large voting.

It comes as Huntington Beach led the West Coast for its show of patriotism on Fourth of July, with an insane fireworks extravaganza that drew about 500,000 to its famous shores.

But the patriotic paradise could be under threat as locals claimed to the California Post the voting change is a desperate Democrat attempt to turn the town blue.

Gooder and harder, California.

THE ELITE CAPTURE OF THE INSTITUTIONS WAS NOT THE PUBLIC’S CHOICE:

My one complaint here is your formulation of "we" did this. Since when did *I* (or any other normie American) have any influence in academia? Higher education has been a top-down regime run by an elitist cabal since before I was born (cf., Buckley, "God and Man at Yale," 1951), https://t.co/fRzgaxaBP8

THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF OLIGARCHICAL COLLECTIVISM:

Marxism is much more than an economic program.

Marxism is, first and foremost, a social reengineering program that uses a denial of objective truth as a path to power and control.

Marxists deny that law and morality have any basis in verifiable, immutable, objective truth.…
