Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed won the Michigan Senate primary yesterday. As he’s been complaining regularly about the “genocide” inflicted on the noble peaceful Gazans (a genocide whose suffering has been exacerbated by rapid population growth), presumably he’ll introduce a bill for the U.S. military to wage a jihad against Israel (the North American Ummah needs to try to stop the genocide, surely) and it will be interesting to see if any other Senators respond with “we had to surrender to Iran; isn’t Israel at least as tough?”
More interesting to me is the personal journey of Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed’s defeated opponent, Haley Stevens. Wikipedia:
Stevens and Rob Gulley, a software engineer she met in high school, became engaged in June 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they waited until September 3, 2021, to wed. Guests, who were required to have a negative COVID test, included Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Nessel officiated the wedding. On October 5, 2022, Stevens and Gulley announced their divorce.
The requisite pre-wedding coronapanic, in other words, lasted longer than the marriage. That’s a true 21st century American love story.
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed gets some assistance from state-sponsored NPR. Here’s an example from WBUR:
El-Sayed “opposes Israel’s war in Gaza“. As a matter of established fact (this is a news article, not opinion), it’s not the “Gaza-Israel war”, which would imply that the Gazans had perhaps done something aggressive to provoke fighting or, at least, were playing an active role in the fighting. It’s a war that Israel started, apparently, and is carrying out all by itself while the peaceful Gazans stand around peacefully in their UNRWA-provided housing.
What does Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed want to do? His campaign site:
- abolish ICE (“People don’t come here because they want to take away from America, they come here because they want to build in America”)
- “Homelessness is an American crisis–and it’s a housing issue.” (but he doesn’t promise to do anything to address the “crisis” other than building more housing, which will presumably be immediately occupied by the humans streaming through the open borders (ICE is gone and, therefore, nobody can be deported))
- surrender to Iran (“I oppose the illegal and unjustifiable war in Iran and demand an immediate end to the hostilities.”; but isn’t Trump already surrendering?)
- “immediate arms embargo on Israel” (force the Israelis to use domestically-produced 155mm artillery against the peaceful Hezbollah, Hamas, UNRWA, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighters?)
- keep paying Graham Platner’s 100% disability pension: “I believe in expanding and improving the VA, not cutting it.”
- abolish the filibuster
- oppose mandatory Voter ID laws
- eliminate limits on abortion care (“government cannot and should not interfere with the right to pursue healthcare choices”)
- I support raising the minimum salary for teachers to at least $60,000/year (starting total comp in Palm Beach County, Florida is already at $81,100 and this works pretty well… for teachers who live with their parents and/or a partner who has a decent job)
Separately, let’s see, from a biology perspective, how successful Michiganders are compared to Arabs who call themselves “Palestinian”. Since 1990, the population of Michigan has grown from 9.3 million to 10.1 million (“Immigration is the sole reason the state’s population is growing” (Detroit News); non-Hispanic white population percentage has fallen from 82% in 1990 to 72% in 2024 (Census). Note that the Census Bureau has classified Arabs as “non-Hispanic white”, though that will change post-2024 and for the 2030 Census with a “MENA” category. If there were a “legacy white” category that excluded Arab immigrants and their children, Michigan’s legacy white percentage is already below 70%.
During the same time period, the population of “Palestine” has grown from 2 million to 5.5 million:
ChatGPT says that if these trends continue, including cramming Michigan full of additional migrants as the native-born escape and/or can’t afford to have kids (this is not a “replacement”, please keep in mind), “Palestine” will have a larger population than Michigan in less than 20 years.

Abdul El-Sayed seems like a good reason to give money to AIPAC to defeat him come November – whether you care about the US-Israel relationship or just the future of the US. Presumably the loud anti-AIPAC sentiment is because AIPAC is effective at what it does (ask Jamal Bowman, Cori Bush, Thomas Massie ((Phil’s colleague at MIT))) & El-Sayed will be sure to be its #1 target in November.
I can’t figure out why anyone is still giving money to ADL, the purported anti-Jew-hate organization. The fact that expressing hatred for Jews leads to immediate electoral victory, at least among Democrat voters, suggests that ADL has been a complete failure at its mission.
My theory of reflexivity validates giving money to ADL.

1. ADL actions increase Jew-hatred.
2. This attracts Tucker Carlsons & El-Sayeds.
3. Tuckers Carlsons & El-Sayeds are so hideous that this creates sympathy for the Jews.
4. We have now reached a higher, preferable equilibrium.

“Sayed” means Lord/Master & direct descendent of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH).
Sounds eminently qualified!
“Abdul” means slave. Slave of Allah. As we all should be. Submit to Islam Now!

Bro had some tenacious beer goggles, though. Yikes.
When they import the camels to Michigan, which will probably fare better than cars on the Beirut-like roads. And it will make Abdul’s relatives feel at home. I heard they have highway funds left-over; they can’t even throw the massive tax-revenue at fixing the roads.
You know Phil the other day you kind of made a straw man out of my sincere attempt to get you to at least try Islam which you hate so much for no real reason. I said simple things like namaz, remembering Allah and practising halal (avoiding alcohol and pork). You presented Islam like some kind of barbaric religion, citing ancient practices that are not even practised today in Saudi Arabia. The marriage age there is 18 by the way, higher than Massachussetts.
Why don’t you make the Hajj pilgrimage and share with us a trip report and what you have seen there. You are a kind of guy who can drop a thousand on a fun 1-hour leisure flight. An entire Hajj journey will cost barely 10 thousand dollars for a once in a lifetime experience. Why not explore this thing that scares you so much and that you hate so much? Note that the full face covering itself is forbidden in Mecca the holiest place in Islam. That is how progressive mainstream Islam is.
Anon: Thank you for the suggestion to make the Hajj! Google AI: “A non-Muslim who enters Mecca or attempts to perform the Hajj faces severe legal penalties under Saudi Arabian law, including heavy fines up to 20,000 Saudi Riyals (approx. $5,300 USD), immediate detention or imprisonment, and mandatory deportation if they are a foreign resident or visitor, alongside a long-term entry ban. … Depending on the severity of the deception (such as using falsified Muslim credentials or official permits), individuals can face interrogation and extended jail time before deportation.”
> Muslim credentials
WTF? Like a “Death to America” tattoo on your arm?
Phil, I don’t know what a straw man is (I’m a low-IQ Peaceful Islamic Family Man), but Anon is really onto something here…at least I think so. My experience with my four wives–ages 8, 9, and two at 11–all of whom I purchased in Kabul last year, and my low-IQ, give me license to speak for others in the Peace-loving religion we call Islam. As you can see from recent news in Germany in the post I’ve included, the Germans seemingly agree with Anon that Islam’s cherished tradition of Child Rape is really nurturing for young children. If they think so, shouldn’t you “experience” and “explore” the joy of Child Rape too? I also don’t know what “progressive” means, but it certainly sounds good to me.

By the way: I asked Gemini to translate your blogpost to German language. Gemini refused (first time I have encountered that) and suggested “Election info changes quickly. Verify responses with official sources.”
danke schön, Andreas, and double danke schön to Gemini for protecting the integrity of our elections!
Could you translate “der blonde teufel” into English for us? Folks used to call my ex that nickname. My foreign languages are Spanglish and Ebonics.
By the way, danke schön to Phil for drawing attention to Abdul. Saw him on the People’s Broadcasting System tonight, looked more smug than Epstein and sneered like a MF. You are indeed a political prophet, Phil, but, damn, seeing reality is harsh, man.
It’s going to be Abdul El-Sayed vs Ayatollah Mamdani in the 2028 presidential election. Wonder who Barrack Hussein Obama will endorse.
Maybe Mr. T. is on to something: (D) vs. (D) sounds like some kind of election fraud.
Thoughtful perspective major life decisions made during stressful periods can have lasting effects, which is why open conversations and realistic expectations before marriage matter so much. Resources like https://helloprenup.com/ encourage couples to discuss important topics early, helping build stronger foundations beyond the wedding day.
Adolf would have loved my ex more than Eva Braun.
How do you reason with the Evil Queen who thinks she’s Snow White? You don’t, you select for the slightly homely but sweet lass who doesn’t live in a fairy tale world. (Would still recommend a prenup.) Posed engagement video on a bicycle built for two, with Daisy Bell as background music is a giant red flag — run, young man, run.
