AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Ex-Clinton strategist Mark Penn slams Wall Street Journal over FlyDubai cockpit stabbing report

Mark Penn said he has never seen a greater disconnect from reality than the Wall Street Journal's take on a FlyDubai cockpit stabbing that dropped a jet 16,000 feet.

Mark Penn said he has never seen a greater disconnect from reality than the Wall Street Journal's take on a FlyDubai cockpit stabbing that dropped a jet 16,000 feet. A knife-carrying pilot tried to stab a fellow pilot aboard FlyDubai Flight 1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv, and the jet plummeted roughly 16,000 feet before an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. Just the News reported that former top Clinton adviser Mark Penn tore into the Wall Street Journal for that coverage, arguing the paper ducked any serious look at radical Islamic terror links while the facts of the attack were still raw. Penn, once a senior adviser to President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and now CEO of a communications firm, posted his critique on X after the Journal…Open

Q&A ID 3a96af2d-6168-4cc9-bf22-6360bc4dc57a
Why did ex-Clinton strategist Mark Penn criticize the Wall Street Journal's coverage of the FlyDubai cockpit stabbing?
Mark Penn argued that the Wall Street Journal showed a "disconnect from reality" by failing to mention the regional terror context, such as Oct. 7, Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran, instead of exploring potential radical Islamic terror links.

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Ocasio-Cortez’s Cornell assault narrative clashes with prosecutor review and campus sanctions record

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed seven Cornell fraternity men drugged and gang-raped a student for seven hours, a picture that exceeds the civil complaint and the DA’s prior review.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed seven Cornell fraternity men drugged and gang-raped a student for seven hours, a picture that exceeds the civil complaint and the DA’s prior review. At a Sunday town hall in Ithaca, New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told the crowd a former Cornell student was lured into a Chi Phi fraternity house, drugged with ketamine, marked as incapacitated in a group chat, and assaulted by seven men for seven hours. Fox News Digital reported that her account went further than the underlying 101-page civil complaint and collided with what Tompkins County prosecutors said they saw in the accuser’s own November 2024 sworn statement. No criminal charges have been announced. The local district attorney has…Open

According to the civil complaint filed by "Jane Doe," what occurred during the alleged October 2024 incident at the Chi Phi house?
The 101-page civil complaint alleges that Doe arrived intoxicated, faced pressure to take ketamine, and was subjected to sexual acts without consent, an episode that ended around 5:45 a.m., and that a member posted a sexually explicit message about her in a fraternity Snapchat group.
Q&A ID d1ed6761-4a2b-4f4a-b9fe-1e284cfc85ce
What are the defenses provided by the attorneys representing the accused students in the Cornell case?
Scott Kretzschmar, the attorney for one accused student, stated his client welcomes the renewed investigation but denies the allegations and claims there was no sexual contact with the accuser. Attorneys for several other accused members have also issued denials of wrongdoing.
Q&A ID c39e4004-bad7-49a1-bc2b-a0fb216d69e9
How does Cornell University respond to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's claim that the university's punishment for the fraternity members was merely writing essays?
Cornell University flatly disputes the claim, stating it conducted a months-long investigation and issued consequential punishments, including expulsions and suspensions, and that the Chi Phi chapter was closed and barred from campus. The university stated that no respondent was required to write an essay as the sole consequence.
Q&A ID 1d1e3a6e-134f-439e-98cc-58b7173bc209
What is the current status of the criminal investigation into the October 2024 alleged incident involving a Cornell student?
While no criminal charges have been announced, the local district attorney has reopened the matter for possible grand jury review, and Governor Kathy Hochul has appointed Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor to handle the case.

More than half of CPJ’s revised Gaza journalist death list still carries terror-group ties, even after a months-long audit meant to scrub combatants. The Committee to Protect Journalists spent months reviewing its own casualty database after critics challenged who belonged on it. When the New York-based group finished, it still left a majority of the remaining names linked to terrorist organizations, according to an independent review by the Israeli media watchdog HonestReporting. Washington Free Beacon reporting laid out the gap: CPJ removed some confirmed combatants, then kept scores of others with documented ties to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and related outfits, while blaming Israel for 191 journalist and media-worker deaths…Open

What was the content of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) dossier regarding Gaza journalists?
The IDF published a dossier on 170 supposed Gaza journalists that it described as terrorist operatives, alleging they were militants in the military wings of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other terrorist organizations who presented themselves as legitimate media professionals.

What was the outcome of the CPJ board vote regarding the definition of a journalist?
In July, the CPJ board voted 17-1 to affirm its definition of who counts as a journalist. The sole no vote came from the Fox News representative on the board. Under this approach, organizations affiliated with militant groups can meet the criteria for a legitimate journalistic outlet provided they are not engaging in combat or inciting violence in a manner likely to have imminent effect.

Who are some of the specific individuals mentioned in the report as having ties to terrorist organizations while remaining on the CPJ list?
Among those reinstated were Assad Shamlakh, whom Palestinian Islamic Jihad confirmed as a member of its Gaza Brigade’s Al-Sabra and Tel Al-Hawa Battalion, and Mohamed Khaireddine, who worked for Al-Aqsa TV, a Hamas-controlled outlet sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury. Other names include Ibrahim Sheikh Ali, described as a platoon commander in the Central Brigade of PIJ’s Al-Quds Brigades, and Ahmed Abu Mhadi, described as a fighter in the Northern Brigade of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
Q&A ID 18e90fb1-6195-48f4-808d-0a35a1cf9b6e
How many individuals did the CPJ audit remove or reinstate in its revised database?

Republican Sen. Roger Marshall’s campaign is hitting Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton with a $1.2 million ad claiming the Leawood pastor shielded a child predator who volunteered at his church. A new 30-second spot from the Marshall campaign charges that Hamilton failed to call police after victims reported abuse by a church volunteer, then allowed the man back into contact with kids before a later conviction. The ad is part of a statewide buy on broadcast, cable, and streaming that begins this weekend, with Kansas voters set to decide the U.S. Senate race on Nov. 3. RealClearPolitics shows Marshall ahead of Hamilton by 1.5 percentage points. The New York Post reported the Marshall campaign’s attack centers on Scott Moore, a former…Open

Following a different incident involving a boy at a sleepover in 2010, Moore was convicted of misdemeanor sexual battery in 2013, served less than a year in prison, and was later found dead in 2015 after being caught in a car with a teenage boy.

What was the outcome of the church's internal investigation into the 2005 complaints according to a 2011 prosecutors' filing?
A November 2011 prosecutors' filing stated that "non-experienced church investigators decided that they were not to report the disclosures to social services or law enforcement" because the teenage victims gave detailed statements but could not positively identify Moore as the abuser at that time.
Q&A ID e0d66df9-6977-40ba-a110-0cee127f8cbe
What specific testimony was provided regarding the events at the church's annual sleep-away camp in November 2005?

Q&A ID 39202ccd-0d49-4291-a225-d11396fcd245
How did the Marshall campaign respond to the Democratic campaign's rebuttal regarding the handling of the abuse allegations?
While Hamilton's spokesman, Tyson Brody, claimed the church did report incidents to law enforcement and that Hamilton helped secure Moore's conviction, the Marshall campaign's ad claims that "parents were ignored" and that Hamilton "never called the police" following the initial reports.
