The Hill ^ | 07/31/23 | Alexander Bolton
Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), a prominent Senate Republican defense hawk, warned Monday that a Russian nuclear attack against Ukraine would be viewed as an attack on NATO, even though Ukraine is not a member of the alliance. Graham delivered his warning after former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Russia would “have to” use nuclear weapons if Ukrainian forces threaten Russian territory. (snip) Graham and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) introduced a resolution in June stating that any use of tactical nuclear weapons by Russia, Belarus or their proxies that spreads radioactive contaminants into NATO territory would be viewed as an attack...

Reuters ^ | 24 January 2022
Islamic State claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on Saturday in the western Afghan city of Herat, it said in a post on Telegram on Sunday. This targeted a minibus of Shia muslims. A blast ripped through a minivan in the western Afghan city of Herat on Saturday, killing at least six people, according to officials. Herat commander Mawlawi Ansari told Reuters that nine people had been injured. The cause of the blast was not clear. A health official in Herat, who asked not to be named, said an explosion hit a small van used for public transport just after...

Rand says: We must make clear that ‘an attack on one is an attack on all’ does not automatically trigger a US military response

Responsible Statecraft ^ | June 25 | Sen. Rand Paul
When faced with questions relating to America’s role in the world, we would be wise to heed the advice of our Founding Founders. George Washington urged distance from the “frequent controversies” of Europe. Thomas Jefferson pursued a course of “peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.” As NATO continues its post-Cold War expansion, it is worth pointing out that, by its own terms, the NATO Treaty does not commit Americans to the military defense of our allies. To that end, I introduced a resolution reasserting that Article 5 of the NATO Treaty does not supersede...

In a wide-ranging interview with NBC News, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned of a potential terror attack in the United States “which may be not that different from what you saw against the concert hall in Russia a few weeks ago from ISIS-K.” Wray explained that there are “elevated fears about a coordinated terror attack in a public place” due to people being radicalized by the Israel/Gaza war. “We are increasingly concerned [about] the potential for some kind of coordinated attack here in the homeland, which may be not that different from what you saw against the concert hall in...

The targets were not identified on ISIS forums and social channels but the hackers are promising something “surprising” that “will frighten America”.
 

Attack on Columbus Statue Is an Attack on a Proud Immigrant Heritage (commentary)

Staten Island Live ^ | August 28, 2017 | RON CASTORINA JR.
As with most episodes of misguided outrage and mass hysteria from the liberal left's culture war of political correctness, this latest campaign against Gaetano Russo's iconic Columbus statue reveals their blatant hypocrisy and disregard for the very immigrant story they claim to champion. A basic understanding of the actual history behind the Columbus Circle statue bears this out, for it would be inaccurate to assume, as left-wing PC warriors do, that the statue was intended simply as a homage to a single man. In fact, the truth reveals a much richer American success story that should be celebrated, instead of...

VIDEO of Spokes-Mouth "Tap-Dancing and Singing" Without Music The Obama Administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that the Taliban is a terrorist group, because it knows that with the reduction of the American presence in Afghanistan will come an increase in the Taliban’s power. The more Americans remember that we went in there to fight the Taliban, the more the whole enterprise will look like a failure. Which it is.
 

True and False Guilt [Attack on Columbus Day is an attack on God Sovereignty and Christianity]

Another Columbus day has come and gone and those who resent Western Civilisation have used the occasion to try to shame us into a state of collective guilt for being happy about the discovery of the New World. Tongue in cheek indeed, they mockingly say that the way to celebrate the day Columbus set foot on an island in the Caribbean, would be to take someone else’s house, or to give them a case of smallpox. There are many who are even calling for October 11 to become a national day of mourning for what Europeans have done to indigenous...

One Israeli was murdered and six were wounded in a shooting attack by three terrorists at a checkpoint at the town of Ma’ale Adumim, near Jerusalem, on Thursday morning. The wounded, including three in serious condition, were evacuated to hospitals in nearby Jerusalem. The police said three Palestinians approached the A'zaim checkpoint, between Ma’ale Adumim and Jerusalem, and opened automatic gunfire at Israelis in their cars who were waiting in traffic before the checkpoint. Two terrorists were shot and killed by nearby security forces, while the third, at first, fled before being shot shortly after when police searched and located...

If you say “September 11” most people automatically think of the attacks on the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. What they probably don’t even remember happened on September 11, were the attacks on the United States Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012. Once the Libyan Revolution began in February 2011, the CIA began placing assets in the region, attempting to make contacts within the region. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, whose name and image would soon become synonymous with the Benghazi attacks, was the first liaison between the United States and the rebels. The task...

Iran’s terror militias launched a wave of rocket attacks against American soldiers in Iraq and Syria under Biden. There were dozens of these attacks last year alone.In the spring of 2023, Scott Patrick Dubis, a 52-year-old military contractor who had worked on U.S. military bases in Afghanistan, Kuwait and Qatar, was killed by an Iranian backed attack.Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin responded by promising that, “as President Biden has made clear, we will take all necessary measures to defend our people and will always respond at a time and place of our choosing. No group will strike our troops with...

An Assistant State’s Attorney in Foxx’s office sent the following essay to express a view from inside the office. We publish the piece in its entirety. The author asked to remain anonymous. The State’s Attorney’s Office is an international laughingstock, as politicians, comedians, scholars, legal pundits and citizens blast its handling of the Jussie Smollett case. The criticism pointed squarely at Kim Foxx, the first African American female elected to fill the prestigious role of Cook County State’s Attorney. In the wake of criticism, Ms. Foxx spoke at a Rainbow PUSH meeting and stated she cannot run an office “driven...

An Afghan teenager was arrested on Sunday in Germany on suspicion that he was connected to Friday’s mass attack in Munich, police said. The 16-year-old male may have known about the plans of the gunman, who killed nine people, but the teen did not tell authorities, officials said. The teen is also suspected of having played a role in a Facebook post that invited the public to a location near where the deadly shooting later took place, Reuters reported.

The media is quick to jump when a political advantage for the Establishment can be had from a terrible event... as Obama pal Rahm Emanuel once said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste." But what happens when the crisis doesn't help fit the narrative? Case in point: recently, a man walked into a restaurant in Ohio with a machete and wounded four people. Precious little was reported on the event, which definitely did not make top news anywhere in the country. Here is what the Associated Press reported just after the event: COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio...
 

Israel Faces ‘Long, Difficult War’ After Hamas Attack From Gaza (Incredible map of attack span)

Eco Hot Blog ^ | October 8. 2023 | Damilare Abass
Israel’s military has warned that Hamas militants from Gaza are still fighting inside Israel after they infiltrated southern communities and left a reported 250 people dead. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told Israelis they are going into a “long and difficult war”. Hundreds of gunmen burst into southern Israel, killing soldiers and civilians, and taking into Gaza what the army said was a “significant number” of hostages. Israel has responded with air strikes. These have continued on Sunday morning, with the Israeli Air Force saying it was targeting “operational infrastructure” in Gaza. Israel also carried out artillery strikes in Lebanon,...
 

The dangerous attack on meritocracy: The core idea -- that jobs should be assigned to those most qualified to accomplish them -- is under attack

American Thinker ^ | 04/28/2021 | Larry Alexander
The core meritocratic idea -- that tasks should be assigned to those most qualified to accomplish them -- is, and has been for some time, under attack. That attack, predictably in the current identity politics-obsessed climate, has been based on race and sex. Just recently, for example, the CEO of United Airlines proudly announced that United’s new goal for its stable of pilots and co-pilots is that it reflect the demography of United’s passengers. So if a certain percentage passengers are women, and a certain percentage are black, then the occupants of United’s cockpits should reflect those percentages. The CEO...
