JIM TREACHER: Jon Stewart Is a Good Kapo.

“The Jewish community and Israel are not the same thing, brother man.”

Don’t tell Fetterman. Tell Mamdani. Tell that other terrorist who just won in Michigan. They don’t make that distinction.

Yeah, they’ll smile to Jon Stewart’s face because he’s a useful idiot for them, but they don’t see the difference between him and any Israeli. They’ll line him up against the wall with the rest of the Jews they want to kill.

John Fetterman is against terrorism. Jon Stewart is against getting yelled at by his comrades. He’ll lose his social standing if he doesn’t say what he’s supposed to say.

Just by way of comparison, here is Jon Stewart back in April, talking to… Can you guess?

POLITICAL APPOINTEES SHOULD KILL BAD GRANTS: Democrats in Congress are up in arms over President Donald Trump’s proposal to give executive branch senior political appointees authority to pre-screen proposed federal grants and to terminate previously approved and continuing funding streams.

In fact under the Constitution, as I write today in The Washington Stand, the President can delegate authority to carry out the his policies that voters endorsed when they elected him to trusted senior political appointees. Democrats are angry because Trump is implementing a counter to the power of the unelected career bureaucrats who routinely dispatch hundreds of billions of tax dollars to far-Left groups.

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Media Bullies Tate McRae for Possible MAGA Connection. “Here’s what started the absurd attacks. This is a quote from a new Variety profile, one where the interviewer pressed the apolitical star on, you guessed it, her political views.”

I TOLD YOU SO:

Of course, predicting that the latest For the People™ scheme is just another grift isn’t exactly a tough call.

BRITISH MAN ARRESTED AFTER DRESSING AS GRIM REAPER, BRANDISHING BLADE, STARING DOWN FROM HOSPITAL ROOF:

This man is a legend.

Come on, he was just checking in on his future clients!

Well, 26-year-old Welshman Leon Gillespie was brandishing a blade, so there’s that. And I suppose he did seem to be dressed as the Angel of Death (though he says it was simply a “crow costume”).

I also suppose he perched himself atop Ysbyty Glan Clwyd Hospital in Denbighshire, long blade in hand, making noises down toward visitors and staff as if to say “you’re next.”

Welshman apparently jealous of Florida man:
