In her recent campaign speech in Arizona, VP Kamala said there is hard work to do and WE ARE GOING TO DO IT WITH JOY. A joyful campaign…a peculiar description.
It has been reported and righty so that Kamala has complete disdain for Prime Minister Netanyahu and is clearly on the side the the Palestinians. Associated Press revealed that Kamala and her team have met often secretly with ‘uncommitted’ voters especially in Michigan. Only in the last few days did she meet with the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, Abdullah Hammoud who applauded the October 7 attack on Israel…How is that for JOY?
While the DNC hosted in Chicago is full of protestors including anti-capitalists and pro-Hamas, Palestinians and even communists….check this out….about JOY.
Now, exactly where did this ‘joy’ thing originate? well let us go back to 1933 in Germany shall we? Well upon a little digging….check this out.

The featured photograph shows a “Strength through Joy” event held on the outskirts of Berlin on April 24, 1937. A large group of adults and children are gathered on the popular public beach at Strandbad Wannsee to perform exercises led by a “Strength through Joy” representative holding a bullhorn.4 The public beach facilities shown in this photograph were first constructed during the Weimar Republic (1918–1933) as part of a growing movement toward outdoor recreational activities that would greatly influence Nazi-era public health policies.5
Within months of the establishment of the Nazi regime in early 1933, local officials and business owners began banning Jews from public swimming pools.6 Strandbad Wannsee barred Jews from its beach and its public programs later that summer. As the first Nazi-era acts to exclude all Jewish Germans from public spaces, these prohibitions became a precedent for the increasing marginalization and segregation of Jews from German public life.
Although Jews were barred from visiting Strandbad Wannsee under the Nazi regime, the beach continued to be a popular getaway for Berlin’s “Aryan” citizens—even during the last years of World War II. In fact, Strandbad Wannsee has remained a popular destination for generations of Berliners ever since the years of the Weimar Republic. The sun decks and walkways on the upper level of the buildings in the featured photograph have fallen into disrepair over the decades, but these very same facilities at Strandbad Wannsee continue to offer public recreation courses to Berlin-area beachgoers.
US Vice President Kamala Harris is stonewalling a congressional inquiry into her national security adviser Phil Gordon’s ties to an Iranian government influence network in the US, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
The network known as the Iran Experts Initiative was exposed in a joint investigation by Iran International and Semafor last September.
Last month, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) initiated an investigation into Gordon’s ties. The inquiry focuses on Gordon’s longstanding association with Pentagon official Ariane Tabatabai, a senior Department of Defense official involved in an Iranian government operation to expand Tehran’s influence in the United States.
Harris did not respond to an August 9 deadline from Cotton and Stefani to explain Gordon’s ties to Tabatabai and the pro-Tehran network.
“You failed to respond by my deadline or to appropriately address this threat to national security emanating from your staff,” Cotton wrote in a letter to Harris on Thursday.
“The presence of such an obvious security risk in your inner circle should have elicited your utmost attention. It raises the question of whether you’ve been aware of Mr. Gordon’s possible links to the Iranian regime and simply find your policies aligned enough with Tehran’s interests that ties to that regime don’t concern you.”
Earlier this month, top lawmakers overseeing US foreign policy threatened to subpoena the State Department following the agency’s failure to provide information about suspended Iran envoy Robert Malley.
In a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Jim Risch and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul expressed deep frustration with the State Department’s lack of transparency regarding the suspension of Robert Malley’s security clearance.
Malley was appointed by President Joe Biden in early 2021 to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, advocating for sanctions relief in exchange for nuclear restrictions. Despite efforts, the deal has not been reinstated since Trump’s 2018 withdrawal. In April 2023, Malley was placed on leave and had his security clearance suspended. Iran International first reported the incident two months later, but the State Department blocked all attempts to find more information about Malley’s case. source
