The Biden Administration had ignored this campus chaos for nine days – until finally being politically forced to respond. Biden rightly emphasized that “violent protest is not protected – peaceful protest is.”

Unfortunately, he later wrongly identified the cause of the campus chaos: “There is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether it’s antisemitism, Islamophobia, or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans.”

Are you kidding? Extreme far-Left radicals who are wreaking havoc. NYC Mayor Eric Adams claims that a high number of the protesters are not even students – they are outside agitators.

The Biden Administration is worried about losing the radical faction of their base – that’s why the President felt compelled to lump Jewish students in with Muslim students.

Yet these pro-Hamas rioters on college campuses hate Jews, hate Israel, and have chosen the violent events of October 7 as the jumping-off point to go to the streets. They are celebrating Hamas’ carnage against innocent women and children. Nothing even remotely similar is happening to Muslim students on college campuses in America.

The ACLJ fights daily for the free speech of all Americans. It’s a fundamental constitutional right that must be preserved. However, when you are spewing death threats and committing violence against Jewish students and supporters of Israel, a clear line has been crossed. When hundreds are being arrested, you don’t have a peaceful protest that’s protected by the Constitution.

Today’s Sekulow broadcast included a full analysis of President Biden’s politically motivated press conference about the pro-Hamas protesters.

Fox News reports:

“Former President Donald Trump’s name will remain on the Colorado 2024 presidential primary ballot, a judge ruled Friday.

‘The court orders the Secretary of State to place Donald J. Trump on the presidential primary ballot when it certifies the ballot on January 5, 2024,’ U.S. District Court Judge Sarah B. Wallace wrote in her ruling.”

This was our toughest case in our ongoing legal battle to stop states from “disqualifying” President Trump from the states’ primary ballots. Yet we managed to ensure the Constitution was upheld.

The judge rightly ruled the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to the President of the United States, but still went on in a superfluous finding to state that she believed the President was guilty of insurrection. I don’t like that the judge had to write a 102-page screed that showed her bias against the former President – explaining why she thinks Trump is bad but still belongs on the Colorado primary ballot.

Keep in mind that the President has never been formally convicted – let alone even charged – with insurrection. And why? Because there’s zero evidence that President Trump tried to start an insurrection. So in the end, the judge reached the right legal conclusion, but she went the wrong way to arrive there.

Today’s broadcast celebrated the ACLJ’s victory in Colorado and reviewed how we’re defending Israel and the hostages both at home and abroad. Senior Counsel for International and Government Affairs Jeff Ballabon also discussed ongoing antisemitism on college campuses and the ACLJ’s efforts to defend Israel via our office in Jerusalem.

Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is not holding anything back while going after Hamas – nor should he.
Reports are also circulating that Hezbollah – which is much stronger and much more sophisticated than Hamas – fired anti-tank missiles into northern Israel, to which Israel responded by taking out a Hezbollah outpost. If Hezbollah enters the conflict, it means Iran, one of the chief sponsors of Hezbollah, has greenlit a second wave in this war. Israel must be prepared to defend itself.

CBN Middle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell joined the broadcast to explain the dangers of Hezbollah and Iran’s ability to supply attack drones to Hezbollah:

“[Hezbollah is] an army, and it’s one of the strongest armies in the Middle East. And so their capacity is that much greater exponentially than Hamas on the southern border. And I would add that Iran is there. They develop drones, . . . so this is sort of Iran’s wheelhouse. They know how to build drones; they know how to operate drones. . . . So this is what they do, and this really is the hallmark of Iran’s involvement.”

We won’t sit idly by while Israel is in turmoil. This week the ACLJ sent a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Guterres and a letter to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, demanding swift action to defend Israel and hold her enemies accountable.

We are pleased to report that after we delivered our letter to Congress, Karine Jean-Pierre publicly denounced the “Squad” Members of Congress who had made “repugnant” and “disgraceful” pro-Hamas statements. Our work is truly making a difference.

Today we were at the Council of Europe, demanding Hamas and its allies be totally defunded. We received an agreement from a number of member States to introduce a resolution pulling the Palestinian Authority’s representation from the Council of Europe. Only three countries are standing in our way: Ireland, Luxembourg, and Denmark. This will be a huge help going forward if we are successful.

On Friday, we will be sending a letter to the Commission on Inquiry at the U.N. They are usually against Israel, and they have put out reports blaming Israel for past Hamas attacks. In other words, it’s Israel’s fault. We are sending a letter absolutely condemning their anti-Israel statements and fighting against the coming lawfare.
The ACLJ is working diligently to defend Israel amid this time of war.

Here’s what I mean by that. The Obama and Biden DOJs were – and are – weaponized against political opponents, and even conservative Americans. The IRS targeting the Tea Party. The DOJ labeling concerned parents at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists.” The DOJ targeting traditional Catholics – something the ACLJ is investigating right now. The list goes on.

But their abuse of the justice system is not contained within partisan lines. The DOJ’s legal arsenal is now being used to indict New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez and his wife on bribery charges. The couple is accused of taking hundreds of thousands in cash, luxury vehicles and even gold bars in exchange for political influence with several New Jersey businessman and the foreign government of Egypt.

And yes, it’s easy to draw comparisons between the Menendez indictment… and the accusations about Joe Biden and his son Hunter. We know the corruption runs deep and two separate standards are applied. But with Menendez, the DOJ wasn’t suddenly struck by an ethically-driven lightning bolt giving them all a sense of duty, honor and justice. So, the question remains, why is the left looking to cannibalize one of its own? And why now?
One possible political motive stands out – if we look at Menendez’s history with the DOJ.

Jack Smith, yes- THAT Jack Smith, indicted Menendez in 2017 on similar corruption and bribery charges and went to trial. After the jury was deadlocked, the DOJ yanked the case in January of 2018 and Menendez went on to handily win re-election in New Jersey.

But let’s go back even further to 2015. Remember Obama’s infamous Iran Nuclear Deal? Menendez was one of four Democrat Senators to vote against it.

Now fast-forward to today, and we find a desperate Biden Administration that just needs a win. And a new deal with Iran is expected to be coming down the pike soon. Except the Democrats’ slim majority in the Senate cannot afford four detractors this time around.

If following this DOJ has taught us anything, it’s this: whenever it APPEARS to be doing its job – like prosecuting real possible corruption – it probably isn’t actually doing its job. There’s likely another politically slanted motivation behind their actions.

First, let’s talk about these ridiculous pseudonyms. Presidents have used aliases before, but these pseudonyms only appear in reference to President Biden’s dealings with Ukraine and Burisma. And why was Hunter copied on the same emails?

Even though Biden claimed “an absolute wall” separated his vice presidential duties from his foreign business dealings, the incriminating emails likely show otherwise. So far, we know one pseudonym connects to a scheduled phone call with the former president of Ukraine.

Politicians usually only use aliases when they want to hide something. For example, through a FOIA request, the ACLJ exposed former Attorney General Loretta Lynch for using the fake name “Elizabeth Carlisle” when discussing her meeting with former President Bill Clinton on the tarmac at a Phoenix airport. Why the subterfuge, if the two only met to discuss their grandkids, as claimed? Surely nothing was said about how Hillary Clinton faced possible criminal charges for destroying emails, right?

But back to Joe Biden . . . we mean, Robert L. Peters. What are we to make of the President boasting about pressuring the former Ukrainian president into getting a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma fired? Rep. Comer is right to investigate this corruption. Who knows how much of the Bidens’ possible “influence peddling” (Rep. Comer’s words) could be exposed?

ACLJ Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy Ric Grenell joined the show to give his take on the pseudonym scandal:

“All of Washington, D.C., has decided to put 91 charges on Donald Trump. . . . But the guy in office who used a pseudonym to get foreign money is somehow escaping any type of charges, any type of indictments. . . . It’s one thing to have an alias so that you can email your friends and not have something forwarded when you’re a very famous person. It’s quite something else to do it for a bank account and to somehow hide the money.”

Grenell pointed out further hypocrisy of the Deep State when four weeks before the 2020 presidential election, 51 intelligence officials signed a letter saying not to look into the Hunter Biden laptop scandal because it was “Russian disinformation” – knowing full well that the laptop contained evidence of corruption.

We have personal experience in litigating these kinds of cases, such as when ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow defended President Trump during the Mueller probe and presenting oral argument at the Supreme Court level. We’ve seen these Deep State tactics before, and they are on full display again.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a Special Counsel to investigate Donald Trump’s keeping classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. He also appointed a Special Counsel to look into President Biden’s classified documents scandal – a Special Counsel we’ve heard nothing from.

But we’ve heard a lot from Special Counsel Jack Smith, the one leading the charge against Trump. And the ACLJ has had a long history with Jack Smith and his questionable legal tactics, especially during the 2013 IRS Scandal with Lois Lerner, in which we took the IRS to court and won. We sued the IRS after it targeted hundreds of conservative organizations and nonprofit groups – most notably Tea Party groups – with a BOLO (“Be on the Lookout) list leaving them in limbo for years. It really squelched their advocacy work.

We have evidence showing that Lois Lerner targeted conservatives. And who was involved in trying to prosecuted the IRS’s targets? None other than Special Counsel Jack Smith. Referencing a New York Times article about nonprofits incorrectly using campaign funds, an email from Jack Smith to one of his deputies, Richard Pilger, reads: “Could we ever charge a 371 conspiracy to violate laws of the USA for misuse of such non profits to get around existing campaign finance laws + limits?” In other words, Smith was looking for a novel legal approach to bring a conspiracy case against conservatives.

This continued for years. It was Smith’s same DOJ colleague, Pilger, who Lerner later worked with to “piece together” false charges against the Tea Party. Now we’re dealing with these same Deep State bad actors again today.

Lois Lerner later tried to slip in an apology at a legal conference for the IRS’s lawless actions in openly targeting conservatives, namely, the Tea Party. Lerner said, “We would like to apologize for that.” We said the apology was not accepted, and we went to federal court to ensure the IRS couldn’t keep targeting conservatives and were eventually victorious.

Now a website has been launched to inform the American public of just how close two Middle East “terrorists,” both listed on the FBI Terrorism Watchlist, came to sneaking into the United States – and how the Biden administration has tried to hide that information.

It is the American Center for Law and Justice that has launched the Cover-Up site. It provides details, including a timeline, about the threat from the terrorists and Biden’s attempt to conceal that from the American public.

The Yemeni terrorists were apprehended in January and March 2021. A press released in April announced that fact.

Then, suddenly, a federal official openly questioned how that information was released, explaining it “should not have gone out.”

The information then was withdrawn, and the ACLJ started its pursuit of the truth.

The ACLJ reported, “If you knew how shockingly unsecured the southern border has been, you might lose sleep. Maybe that’s why President Biden tried to cover it up.”

The organization reported, at the time, “Two known terrorists were apprehended by our brave Border Patrol agents trying to cross into the U.S. from Mexico, but the press release about it has mysteriously vanished.”

Its Freedom of Information Act request for details “finally” produced information.

“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent us a treasure trove of records, and guess what? Our suspicions have been confirmed – Biden officials tried to hide the fact that these dangerous terrorists almost made it into our country.”

Its new site, the ACLJ explains, “reveal[s] in black and white how Biden officials conspired to take down the press release and silence CBP from discussing the arrests.”

It reports someone high in the Biden administration was “pretty upset that anyone’s watchlist status was discussed.”

“Why? Was the White House worried about hurting the terrorists’ feelings?” the report said.

“Could it be because the White House knows it’s their fault? Biden’s incompetence and arrogance nearly allowed these terrorists to enter our country and disappear. And if two terrorists got stopped, how many actually made it across? Remember, it only took some 19 terrorists to pull off the 9/11 attacks, which took thousands of innocent lives.”
