“If anger lasts too long, it may become hatred. Anger inflames the eye, but hatred blinds it. If love is life, hatred is death. Perhaps you ran into people who were furious with you. What lasting harm could they do to you? In their rage they threaten to. kill the body, but by hating them you have killed the soul. They have killed the body of another in anger; in hating them you have killed your own soul.” Augustine, Commentary on Psalm 54.7

Bodies are still being pulled out of the water as North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia try to clean up after the devastating destruction of Hurricane Helene. But that hasn't stopped leftists from celebrating the natural disaster, given that the victims died or saw their homes destroyed in states that don't always vote the way they'd like. Here's a charmer from the United Kingdom who teaches kids: She comes from a school that touts its 'empathy-building' between rural and urban residents, whatever that is, all inclusive and accepting. I think we can now see what they mean.

I realized something very important about the human condition when I was in high school.I realized that people tend to hate those who fight evil far more than they hate those engaged in doing evil.What made me come to this conclusion was the way in which many people reacted to communism and to anti-communism.To my amazement, a great many people -- specifically, all leftists and many, though not all, liberals -- hated anti-communists far more than they hated communism.Because of my early preoccupation with good and evil, already in high school, I hated communism. How could one not, I wondered....

Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School (Natural Health / Success / Freedom) discusses the evil intent behind Kamala's lies, what she attempted to do to President Trump in their debate, and what happens to those who react to her strategy. Tucker Carlson gave a recent talk in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in which he discussed the exact subject matter Patrick speaks about. He also discusses a POWERFUL way for every American to make a real difference.

Adoration for a cackling chameleon is a poor substitute for a tested patriot with a proven record “He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now” (1Jn 2:9) “If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” (1Jn 4:20) No one needs a seminary degree or a special anointing to discern the generic theology contained in these two passages.

Ever since the Hamas attack on Israel last October, there has been an ongoing argument over whether or not Palestinians (in Gaza and elsewhere) are responsible for the actions of Hamas or merely additional victims of those actions.My sense of the media landscape is that most national news outlets see Palestinians as victims of Israel with some acknowledgement that Hamas is responsible for Israel's reaction to the October attack. But even so, the general argument has been that Palestinian civilians are mostly innocents who aren't responsible for the actions of Hamas.It's considered bad form and maybe even an outrage among...

As the crowed swarmed me, one student yelled, “He’s subhuman!” Another student shouted, “I can’t wait for Hamas to come to your door … al-Qassam is going to kill all your friends for no reason.” I pointed with pride to the red Kippah, Jewish skullcap, that adorned my head. It was soon forcefully ripped off by a “peaceful” student who dug his nails into my scalp as he pulled it off, along with some hair. This was one of three assaults I was subjected to at Columbia University. I am a “professional Jew.” It takes a lot to unnerve me....

“They’re coming for the Christians next.”Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) warned Americans on my Newsmax television program that the pro-Hamas mob will be targeting Christians and the LGBT community after they finish terrorizing American Jews.This is why they make water cannons. This is why we have to have, being able to quell these, these, these crowds that are beating up folks that are taking over campuses that are assaulting Jewish, Americans. And as you said, very, very accurately, they’re coming for the Christians next. They’re coming for the LGBT. Don’t think for a second that you’re not going to escape these...

Walla! Jam 22, 2024. Harvard presents: Horrifying anti-Semitic show involving defacement of stolen photos. Four-year-old Ariel Bibas, his face covered in paint and a caricature of Adolf Hitler. His red hair that cuts into my Israeli heart barely sticks out from behind the rough strokes of color that deny his humanity - this is the image I woke up to this morning (Monday), on the first day of the spring semester at Harvard University. Next to the photo are dozens of other stolen photos that were defaced under false captions accusing Israel of carrying out the 9-11 attacks and another...

ROME — Pope Francis has written to his “Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel,” exhorting them to break the “incessant cycles” of war and hatred in the Holy Land. Since October 7 the Holy Land “has been cast into a spiral of unprecedented violence,” the pontiff writes. “My heart is torn at the sight of what is happening in the Holy Land, by the power of so much division and so much hatred.” In his letter, the pope laments the manifestations of “anti-Semitism and anti-Judaism” that have emerged during the conflict, underscoring the “particular and singular” relationship binding Jews to...

Radical pro-Palestinian demonstrations appear to have developed a new tactic: they are targeting Christmas tree lightings across the country, and other Christian symbols, in addition to symbols of Israel and Jewish institutions.The latest example was Friday’s protest in Los Angeles, where pro-Palestinian radicals marched from a fundraiser for President Joe Biden to an area where there are several synagogues. They sprayed anti-Israel graffiti on the walls opposite the synagogues, and also vandalized a local church.

Based on his online posts, it’s clear that Mr. Woo was an “anti-white racist” who harbored a strong hatred and distrust towards the US government. His social media conveyed a definite sense of extreme paranoia. Here’s what Colin Rugg, co-founder of Trending Politics had to say about the suspect in a post on X:Here is what we know about James Yoo, the man linked to the Arlington, Virginia home explosion.Police responded after there were reports of a flare gun being fired from the home.James Yoo was listed on public records as the one living at the property.Yoo was racist against...

The trans-identified shooter who killed six people, including three children, at Nashville’s Covenant School sought to kill “cr*ckers” with “white privileges,” according to leaked pages of her manifesto that documented the plans to commit mass murder.On Monday, “Louder with Crowder” host Steven Crowder released pages allegedly from the manifesto on X, formerly known as Twitter.The writings have been sealed since the March 27 attack where 28-year-old Audrey Hale opened fire at The Covenant School in Green Hills, killing Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all 9 years old, as well as Cynthia Peak, 61; Katherine Koonce, 60; and Mike...

DEVELOPING STORY: Thousands of pro-Hamas rioters caused mayhem in New York City overnight. Click here for our full coverage of the riots. The protesters also destroyed an untold number of American flags — on Veterans Day. Video shows a man climbing up flag poles and ripping down Old Glory. The stars and stripes were then replaced by the Palestinian flag. NYPD officers watched as the man desecrated our flag, but they did nothing. One has to wonder if they were ordered to stand down. Meanwhile, a man was kicked out of his private suite at a Philadelphia Eagles game because...

“Frightening footage” of a hate preacher in NSW proves Australia’s politicians have been so reckless with the people’s safety, according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt. A preacher named Brother Ismail made headlines last week after he made alarming statements following Hamas’ attack on Israel early last month. NSW Police is now investigating the individual as many have slammed the preacher. “This one preacher that the police are now looking into is someone identified only as Brother Ismail, who is fired up by this Hamas war on Israel and is calling for Jihad,” Mr Bolt said. “We are now paying...

@RepThomasMassie If Congress sends $14.5 billion to Israel, on average we’ll be taking about $100 from every working person in the United States. This will be extracted through inflation and taxes. I’m against it.

Last week, in this column, I argued, “What happens in Israel will not stay in Israel.” I went on to warn that “the next shoe to drop may be in Galveston rather than Gaza.” Is this warning a bit over the top, or is there a reason to take it seriously? Well, if Solomon was right when he said, “As a man thinketh, so he is,” let’s consider what the people who fancy themselves the moral conscience of America and the West actually think and say. Here’s a short summary. “White people are a genetic defect of blackness. Whiteness is...

Christian evangelist Franklin Graham is warning Jews and Christians around the globe to be aware of Hamas’ real plans, to “Kill every Jew and every Christian” on Earth.The warning comes just days after Hamas terrorists attacked innocent civilians in Israel, in villages and at a music festival, killing an estimated 900, including babies who were decapitated by the violent radicals.On social media, Franklin cited a video of Hamas’ Mahmoud al-Zahar, and wrote, “We just saw Hamas brutally murder 900+ Israelis, most all civilians. If you want to know what else they’re after, a Hamas commander made it clear. He said...

One of my dearest friends was born in a kibbutz two miles from Gaza. His village was able to evacuate when Hamas launched its murderous assault last Saturday. However, a neighboring kibbutz called Kfar Aza was targeted by the terrorists.Yesterday, my friend forwarded to me a survivor’s description of what happened:A thriving community of one thousand people, men and women, was brutally crushed within forty-eight hours. Whole families, parents, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and grandmothers were murdered in cold blood. Their houses were turned into piles of earth and ashes, and their lives as they knew them—destroyed. They lost...
