"...Wherever Israel knows there’s a terrorist tunnel, they now know there might be a hostage as well. Israel must therefore fear destroying the very tunnels they know they need to destroy, because of the likelihood of collateral damage – the accidental killing of her own innocent people as part of the firefight. Those of us who don’t understand war at all will play into the terrorists’ hands, and demand restraint and delay.
Those of us who have some understanding of war know the opposite – that delay only helps the enemy, and we must toughen up and admit the hard truth:
That there is no reason to believe these 230 people are still alive.
We know Hamas kept a few alive at least, so that they could release them and tantalize us with the prospect of more releases...
"South Park" unleashed their most recent special last week, and it immediately drew praise for mocking the recent Hollywood trend of recasting roles that were previously held by white characters and replacing them with minorities and women. The new animated special also took aim at Disney's recent wokeness in developing entertainment content as well as slamming Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy – which was applauded by actress Gina Carano.
"The only way that we can continue to have cheap food is if we have cheap energy.
We use energy to grow our food, to harvest our food, to produce our food and to package our food.
And transporting all of that food from the farm to the factory and then to the stores takes lots of energy. Of course it isn’t just our food supply that depends upon cheap energy.
Ultimately, our entire way of life is predicated on a cheap energy paradigm.
If you take cheap energy away, everything changes.
That is why this war in the Middle East could represent such a critical economic tipping point.
31 percent of the world’s oil comes from the Middle East.
If that supply is restricted or completely cut off for an extended period of time, we will be in for a world of hurt. But don’t just take my word for it.
Terrifying video shows the horde flooding into the Makhachkala International Airport in the North Caucasus republic of Dagestan in Russia. The mob is seen waving Palestine flags and are heard shouting: "Allahu Akbar."
The Moscow Times reported, "The flight from Tel Aviv landed at 7:17 p.m. local time, according to the airport's website, after which the protesters stormed into the airport, breaking past security and running onto the tarmac."
The mob allegedly stormed the tarmac to search for any incoming flights carrying Jews.
Over 20 years ago I was running a series of posts tagged “Berkeley Hatewatch Update,” tracking hateful and antisemitic behavior at UC Berkeley. Like this one:
Gotion High-Tech, the Chinese parent company of Gotion Inc., which intends to build electric battery plants in Michigan and Illinois, operates a joint venture in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) that contracts with a U.S.-sanctioned entity, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of Chinese-language news reports and business filings.
Most news articles about the animal in Lewiston, Maine, who shot 31 people, killing 18, focus specifically on the shooter’s skin color and “AR-15 style” rifle. The media seem to have missed the ten mass shootings that have taken place in the three and a half days since the Maine massacre...
FACT-O-RAMA! A mass shooting is defined as four or more people shot, not including the shooter, in a fluid situation.

Islamist Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan flooded Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport this weekend with hundreds of thousands of people – he claimed 1.5 million attendees – chanting “murderer Israel” and other pro-Hamas slogans in support of the terrorist group’s October 7 massacre.
Erdogan branded the rally the “Great Palestine Meeting” and delivered an extensive address in which he once again insisted “Hamas is not a terrorist organization,” claimed that Israel secretly created Kurdish miliitias in Iraq and Syria, and blamed “the West” generally for the conflict between Israel and Palestinian terror groups.

"A scheduled “picnic” sponsored by the University of Nevada Las Vegas law school’s Environmental Law Society has been renamed “Lunch by the Lake” due to “diversity and inclusion” concerns. According to a memo obtained by Libs of TikTok, the law group informed members that the word “picnic” has “historical and offensive connotations,” and apologized for “any harm or discomfort” caused by its use. The group’s view mirrors that of the University of Michigan’s IT department from several years ago: “Picnic” was included in a “Words Matter Task Force’s” list of offensive words and phrases along with “brown bag,” “blacklist” and “long time, no see” among others...
Special interest aliens, according to DHS, are typically “a non-U.S. person who, based on an analysis of travel patterns, potentially poses a national security risk to the United States or its interests.”
“Often such individuals or groups are employing travel patterns known or evaluated to possibly have a nexus to terrorism,” DHS officials wrote of special interest aliens in 2019.
This month, an exclusive Breitbart News report revealed that more than 61,000 special interest aliens have been released into the U.S. interior in Fiscal Year 2023.
Subsequently, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been asked to disclose all relevant information about those special interest aliens who have arrived at the border and been released into American communities.
“Remains of young woman kidnapped at Gaza music festival, paraded through streets reported found”reports Just The News.
Paraded through the streets. Let that sink in for a bit.
Shamefully, editors at most news organizations will not say anything that might tarnish the image of “brave freedom fighters throwing off the yokes of colonialism.”
As of 5PM Monday, no mention of this at all in:
The New York Times
The Washington Post
CBS, NBC, ABC
National Public Radio
The Detroit News
The Guardian (UK) acknowledges the positive identification of the girl’s body, but doesn’t mention these animals parading her body through the streets.
OK, at this point I shouldn’t be surprised, but that does not derogate my justifiable anger.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., warned on "The Ingraham Angle" that spending billions to aid multiple foreign countries simultaneously threatens "the very existence of our currency, and perhaps our country."
"Just as we saw in the run-up to the Iraq war, the big spenders and the big war advocates in Congress are demanding unanimity," host Laura Ingraham said Wednesday. "They want no debate, despite the hundreds of billions of dollars that will fly out the door."
