Germans against Hitler: The Witness of the White Rose by David Novak | Articles | First Things
"It is hard to imagine a Jew today who would come to Germany without a profound sense of uneasiness...
...The White Rose Group was a small coterie of students (led by the brother and sister Hans and Sophie Scholl) and one of their teachers at the University of Munich who, beginning in 1942, anonymously scattered leaflets in Munich and some other German cities calling for the overthrow of the Nazi regime. 
Needless to say, this was an act of enormous courage, and most members of the White Rose Group were eventually caught by the Gestapo and executed...
...People like those in the White Rose, on the other hand, did have an unequivocal moral choice. 
They exercised the moral agency that was theirs to choose good and resist evil...

It's Clarice, read it all!-----Hillary Drops the Veil on Her Party’s Totalitarianism - Clarice Feldman

Hillary Drops the Veil on Her Party’s Totalitarianism By Clarice Feldman
"The Democrats are making no effort to hide their totalitarian impulses. 
Certainly, Hillary Clinton isn’t. 
In an interview this week with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. she suggested that Trump supporters were part of a cult and needed formal deprogramming.

"Whatever the reason, you know, make America great again was a bid for nostalgia to return to a place where people could be in charge of their lives, feel empowered, say what they want, insult whoever came in their way. And that was really attractive to a significant portion of the Republican base. So, it is like a cult.

And somebody has to break that momentum."

...But there’s nothing new and nothing funny about the totalitarian impulse on the Left. Last January a Rasmussen survey indicated that one-third of Democrats thought children should be removed from the homes of unvaccinated parents (despite the very low rate of COVID infections and mortality in children) and a whopping 50% of them wanted to imprison the unvaccinated...

Indeed, the same week Hillary advocated deprogramming, Newsweek ...reported that the FBI seeks to track and counter Trump supporters...

Updates for Israel war with Hamas, video shows hostages taken - TheBlaze

Updates for Israel war with Hamas, video shows hostages taken - TheBlaze

Hamas militants fired thousands of rockets into several areas of Israel on Saturday during the Jewish high holiday of Simchat Torah. The unprecedented, multi-front early morning attack included Hamas guerrillas bypassing heavy fortifications and invading more than 20 Israeli communities along the Gaza border – where they engaged in gun battles and took hostages.

Their hate is palpable!



“The Palestinians who invaded Israel have focused on kidnapping civilians, mostly young women.

Instapundit- GIVE ‘EM THE GENERAL SHERMAN TREATMENT:
“The Palestinians who invaded Israel have focused on kidnapping civilians, mostly young women. 
"...They took a number of young women captive there. This video has been seen millions of times. 
There is a naked young woman in the back of a truck, murdered (and God knows what else) by the Palestinians. The Arabs in the truck are yelling ‘Allahu Akbar!’ ‘God is great!’ Terrific religion they’ve got there. 
  • What is notable, I think, is the jubilant reaction of the crowd. 
  • Note the boy who spits on the woman’s corpse... 
It is much like Nazi Germany–most Germans were not members of the party, but the vast majority supported Hitler until it was clear that Germany was losing the war...
And maybe that whole “rave for peace” idea wasn’t so good, and shouldn’t be repeated.
Peace comes when a war ends, and wars usually end when one side loses decisively. That should be the Palestinians. - Glenn Reynolds

COVID Vaccine Mandates Begin in Red State | The Epoch Times

COVID Vaccine Mandates Begin in Red State | The Epoch Times
"The Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), a medical school and research center in Houston, Texas, announced last week that it will mandate the latest COVID booster shot for its students, faculty, and employees.
“An updated Covid vaccine has been approved by the FDA and is now available," the Sept. 28 statement from the school reads. "A single dose is recommended for individuals 6 months and older. Because protection from prior vaccination fades over time and this updated vaccine better matches the currently circulating strains the updated dose is recommended. Baylor faculty, staff, and students must get the COVID vaccine, or request a medical, religious, or personal exemption by Nov. 30.”

Worthy read!-----Cloward, Piven and the Fundamental Transformation of America | Fox News

Cloward, Piven and the Fundamental Transformation of America | Fox News - By Glenn Beck , Fox News
"I'm going to give you a hard concept to get your arms around: It's the concept that there are people in this country who want to intentionally collapse our economic system.
How could it be that any American would or would want to do such a thing? 
Well, those involved sleep just fine at night because they tell themselves that they're not collapsing, they're transforming — transforming — America into something better...
...So, let me introduce you to the people you would say are fundamentally responsible for the unsustainability and possible collapse of our economic system: Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven, authors of the Cloward-Piven strategy. 
Something else to remember is that this isn't some conspiracy theory that we're tossing out; they wrote about collapsing the economy and how they planned to do it in the article they co-authored in the '60s called, "Mobilizing the Poor: How it Could Be Done." 
Six months later, it was published in The Nation, under the title "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty."
So, just what is Cloward-Piven?..

"...unarmed women and children..."!

Victor Davis Hanson - A 50th Anniversary War?
  • Why did Hamas stage a long-planned, carefully executed and multifaceted attack on Israeli towns, soldiers, and civilians—one designed to instill terror by executing noncombatants, taking hostages, and desecrating the bodies of the dead?
  • And how were the killers able to enter Israeli proper in enough numbers to kill what could be hundreds and perhaps eventually wound what could be thousands?...
"...But, more importantly, in a larger sense the Biden administration has contributed both to the notion that Hamas was a legitimate Middle East player, and to the perception that the U.S. was backing away from its traditional support for Israel—to the delight of Hamas—based on the following inexplicable policies:
1) In February Secretary of State Blinken had bragged that not only had the Biden administration resumed massive aid to the PLA cancelled by Trump, but cumulatively had transferred $1 billion—even as Palestinian authorities bragged that they would continue to pay bounties to the families of “martyrs” (i.e., those killed while conducting terrorists attacks against Israel)...
