'Deranged' protester runs GOP congressman off the road while chanting 'death to Israel'
A Republican congressman has claimed he was run off the road by an 'unhinged, deranged man' who displayed a Palestinian flag and chanted 'death to Israel.' Rep. Max Miller, of Ohio, took to social media on Thursday to share how he was attacked by an anti-Israeli protester while on his way to work in his district. 'As I was driving to work, some unhinged, deranged man decided to lay on his horn and run me off the road when he couldn't get my attention to show me a Palestinian flag,' said Miller, who previously worked as a White House aide in President Donald Trump 's first administration and now represents northeastern Ohio. 'Not to mention, "Death to Israel," death to me - that he wanted to kill me and my family,' Miller continued, speaking from inside his car. 'Thank God my daughter was not in my vehicle or anybody else at the time.' The Jewish congressman went on to say he had filed a report with the local police department and with the US Capitol Police. Rocky River Police Department has since confirmed to Fox News that it is investigating the incident. But Miller said in his video he already knows who the perpetrator was, and told the suspect that if he has 'an issue, take it to our office. 'You want to run me off the road, that's a different story,' Miller asserted. Despite the encounter, Miller - who also served as a reservist in the US Marines - said he remains undeterred. 'I will continue to fight against antisemitism, Islamophobia and all other forms of hate,' he declared. The congressman also added in an accompanying X post that: 'As a Marine, a proud Jewish American and a staunch defender of Israel, I will not hide in the face of this blatant antisemitic violence.' In a follow-up post, he thanked the local police departments in his district and the US Capitol Police for their assistance. 'A police report has been filed and when I am able to share the finalized report, I will do so immediately,' Miller vowed, adding: 'Hate has no home here in OH-7.' House Democratic leadership was quick to denounce the attack on Miller's vehicle. 'We condemn in the strongest possible terms the attack on Congressman Max Miller and his family, and are thankful they are safe,' Reps. Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar said in a statement. 'The rise in political violence in this country is unacceptable,' they continued, weeks after two Democratic Minnesota lawmakers were shot inside their homes. 'This is a moment of crisis that requires Congress to act decisively in order to ensure the safety of every single Member who serves in the People's House.'

Trump issues ominous warning to workers on Juneteenth as president claims country is wasting 'billions of dollars' on unnecessary benefit
Working-class Americans received a stark warning from President Trump as he celebrated Juneteenth by complaining about the excessive amount of federal holidays. Trump issued a directive Thursday night that declared the country is wasting too much money on closing business and said he has considered axing future celebrations. 'Too many non-working holidays in America,' he wrote on Truth Social. 'It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don't want it either!' The president then speculated that the holiday madness could have a negative impact on the country if something isn't done. 'Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year,' he said. 'It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' Before this year's holiday post - which failed to mention Juneteenth - Trump spent years commemorating the day which celebrates the freedom of enslaved African Americans. He even once claimed to have made Juneteenth 'very famous.' Trump honored the holiday in each of his first four years as president, even before it became a federal holiday in 2021. But this year, Trump kept silent about the holiday other than his late Truth Social post, despite the significance of the day for black Americans. Asked whether Trump would commemorate Juneteenth in any way, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: 'I'm not tracking his signature on a proclamation today. 'I know this is a federal holiday. I want to thank all of you for showing up to work. We are certainly here. We're working 24/7 right now.' Juneteenth, also referred to as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas. Their freedom came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln liberated slaves in the Confederacy by signing the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War. In 2020, Trump sought to woo black voters with a series of campaign promises, including vowing to establish Juneteenth as a federal holiday. After he lost the election, Biden went on to sign the legislation declaring Juneteenth the newest federal holiday. He argues there are 'too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed.' In the past week, Trump has in some way acknowledged Father's Day, Flag Day, National Flag Week and the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. None of these days are among of the 11 national holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. In 2017, Trump celebrated the 'soulful festivities and emotional rejoicing' when in 1865 a major general delivered the news to a Galveston crowd that all enslaved people were free. He told the Galveston story in each of the next three years. 'Together, we honor the unbreakable spirit and countless contributions of generations of African Americans to the story of American greatness,' he said in his 2018 statement. A year later, he said: 'Across our country, the contributions of African Americans continue to enrich every facet of American life.' His 2020 statement read: 'June reminds us of both the unimaginable injustice of slavery and the incomparable joy that must have attended emancipation. 'It is both a remembrance of a blight on our history and a celebration of our Nation's unsurpassed ability to triumph over darkness.' In 2020, however, Trump chose the controversial location of Tulsa, Oklahoma, as the place to hold a rally following the Covid pandemic. That decision for that venue met with fierce criticism. In Tulsa in 1921, a white mob looted and burned that city's Greenwood district, an economically thriving area referred to as Black Wall Street. As many as 300 Black Tulsans were killed, and thousands were temporarily held in internment camps overseen by the National Guard. Black leaders argued it was offensive for Trump to choose June 19 and Tulsa for a campaign event. Days before the rally, Trump tried to put a positive spin on the situation by claiming that he had made Juneteenth 'famous.' He said he changed the rally date out of respect for two African American friends and supporters. 'I did something good. I made it famous. I made Juneteenth very famous,' Trump said. 'It's actually an important event, it's an important time. But nobody had heard of it. Very few people have heard of it.' Generations of Black Americans celebrated Juneteenth long before it became a federal holiday in 2021. Biden issued annual Juneteenth proclamations during his four years in office, and observed some of the holidays with large concerts on the South Lawn. Biden's final observance in 2024 featured performances by Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle. Vice President Kamala Harris danced onstage with gospel singer Kirk Franklin. Trump, menawhile, has made sweeping orders ending diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives across the federal government, calling them 'illegal and immoral discrimination programs.'

The View host reveals wild new details about Kamala Harris interview that 'took down the Democratic Party'
Sonny Hostin said she feels 'terrible' that she 'took down the Democratic Party ' by asking Kamala Harris to name what she would have done different to Joe Biden in the White House. Harris infamously told the liberal gabfest that there was nothing she would change from how her boss governed. 'There is not a thing that comes to mind,' Harris said. Harris justified her reason for keeping to Biden's record by noting: 'I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.' Speaking to the show's producer Brian Teta on its 'Behind the Table' podcast, Hostin claimed she was right to ask the question but hated the impact it had on the election. Teta asked if she expected it to become a viral moment, to which Hostin answered: 'I knew it instantly when she answered it.' The left-leaning host admitted she desperately flailed to try and save Harris with another question on the subject. 'Which is why I asked the follow-up question, 'is there one thing?' Because I knew, I could see the soundbite and I knew what was going to happen, but I thought it was a really fair question and I thought it was a question that she would expect.' Hostin, who was openly rooting for Harris, felt even worse when she learned the anecdote ended up in Jake Tapper's bombshell book about the cover-up of Biden's senility. 'And now Jake Tapper wrote it in his book? I feel terrible.' Hostin refused to say it cost Harris the election but Alyssa Farah Griffin, one of the show's conservative panelists, disagreed. 'The Trump campaign put so much ad money behind that specific clip and what they were trying to do is tie her to Biden's unfavorabilities, but more than that, just simply the right-track, wrong-track of the election… They used it to say, 'Well, she's not going to do anything different,'' Griffin said. Appearing on the popular daytime show just a month before the elections during her truncated campaign, Harris was unsteady in several of her media appearances. Her comments were made to the hosts of ABC's The View when she appeared on the show in October for a softball interview where she was fawned over. Whoopi Goldberg introduced her as 'the next president of the United States.' The Democratic nominee was just as friendly, posing for pictures with the hosts during commercial breaks. On the view, her advisor Stephanie Cutter was floored when Harris got asked if there was anything she would have done differently than Biden. 'What the hell was that?' Cutter said she thought at the time. 'That's not what we practiced.' Her response was also chronicled in the new book Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House, by reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes. It also tells of other key moments, like a 'cringe' video clip where Harris had to feign surprise at picking up the endorsement of Barack and Michelle Obama. Failing to identify a single issue where she parted with Biden yoked her even more to the president, who had bowed out after his debate disaster but was also unpopular in opinion polls going back years. It denied her the opportunity to hold up a policy difference that might define her as something different beyond being a younger alternative. 'It provided the money shot' for negative ads that would tie link Harris and Biden. 'And it was her own bad moment.' 'When she gave us the gift of the View interview, we were able to anchor her to the Biden administration in her own words, which is something we were trying to do anyway,' a Trump advisor told the authors. Donald Trump, Jr. was even more forceful, as reported at the time. 'And just like that, Kamala's entire bull**** campaign about being a 'change agent' collapses. You can't call yourself a change agent when you not only agree with every single disaster Joe Biden is responsible for, but you brag about being involved in all those decisions!,' he wrote on X. Aides had given Harris a list of items that made her 'proud of her work with Biden.' It came as party leaders were in a bind, feeling the need to build up Biden for having relinquish power, even while racing to build up Harris's bio for her run on her own after a brief and unsuccessful primary campaign in 2020.
