“Palestinians” distribute sweets to celebrate jihad murder of Israeli Instead of recoiling in horror at this gleeful savagery, the UN and the international media will once again issue condemnations of Israel. “Palestinians distribute sweets after terrorist attack in Ariel – report,” Jerusalem Post, March 18, 2019: Palestinians distributed sweets in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday morning following the terror attacks in Ariel, according to a video tweeted by the Palestinian Information Center, an Arabic news site, on Sunday. توزيع الحلوى في خانيونس جنوب قطاع غزة ابتهاجاً بـ #عملية_سلفيت البطولية صباح اليوم . pic.twitter.com/IXWxCNYUyi — المركز الفلسطيني للإعلام (@PalinfoAr) March...

"Dangerous Nuclear Schemes" by Peter Huessy The proposed policies, if adopted by the new leadership in the House, would certainly fracture whatever consensus exists today to modernize America's strategic nuclear deterrent -- and at a time when both Russia and China are charging ahead militarily, and Iran and North Korea are racing toward a deliverable nuclear weapons capability. If the United States chooses to eliminate its land-based missiles, as arms control advocates have proposed, it would dramatically and dangerously simplify an adversary's targeting calculus. The US would be reducing more than 500 distinct American-based nuclear-related targets -- including 450 Minuteman...

RUSH: Donna Brazile. I’ve had a lot of people complaining to me about Fox hiring Donna Brazile. It’s actually kind of incredible. A number of you who are beginning to have, or have had for a while, problems with Fox News, that they represent what they represent, “but why do they have to put liberals on there?” I hear constantly, over and over. “We don’t have conservatives on the liberal networks. Where are they doing this?” Folks, it isn’t anything new. This network debuted with prominent liberals in prime time. It really isn’t anything new. You can debate why they’re...

Hamas War Crimes against Israel, Palestinians by Bassam Tawil Suddenly, everyone was talking only about the rocket attacks on Tel Aviv, and Hamas seemed to have gotten away with its beating and shooting at peaceful protesters. It is also worth noting that many of the Palestinians who were brutally beaten by Hamas were children. In the view of many Palestinians, what Hamas is doing in the Gaza Strip is tantamount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. Recently, in a grotesque allegation, UN human rights "experts" claimed that Israel may have committed war crimes by shooting at Palestinian demonstrators who...

Apple’s newly updated iMacs offer faster processors, much-improved graphics, and more. Apple’s newly updated iMacs have plenty to offer enterprise and consumer users, not least of which are its faster processors and much-improved graphics performance. At the movies It is interesting to note that Apple chose to announce these new Macs with nothing but a press release, even though they’ve not seen significant update since WWDC 2017. This likely reflects the importance with which the company sees the launch of its disintermediated video streaming service in March 2019 Making the decision to release updated iPads and iMacs in the week...

Utrecht jihad murderer captured, had been arrested before for suspected links to the Islamic State, but was released When they released him before, did they keep track of him? Clearly the answer is no. And why not? Because there are just too many possible or potential jihadis for authorities to keep track of them all. And that is an Islamic State strategy: they are endeavoring to overload intelligence and law enforcement agencies in the West, and cause them to collapse. They’re well on their way to success. “37-year-old Turkish ‘terror’ suspect who killed three in Utrecht shooting arrested,” RT, March...

Man detained at border meets Muslims claiming to be “political refugees” yet openly supporting jihad terror groups Michael Enright’s case is strange. It may be a case of government ingratitude and injustice; certainly Enright wouldn’t be the first victim of that. But it may just be that because he overstayed his visa previously, and because everyone entering from Mexico who has been in Syria is justly scrutinized, that he is caught up in red tape. In any case, the most interesting part of his story is his experience at the border: “According to Enright, those six weeks were the most...

Toronto: Muslim leaves suspicious packages at subway station on two successive days “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60) “Man arrested, Broadview station closed for second straight day after another suspicious package found,” by Emerald Bensadoun and Claire Floody, MSN, March 19, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report): Toronto police have one man in custody and Broadview station has reopened Tuesday morning after a...

Australia: Muslims plotted jihad massacres to “defeat all the infidels,” prosecutor says “Islam not on trial here” Crown prosecutor Lincoln Crowley “said the acts planned by the men would have been ‘designed to demonstrate to the unbelievers the righteousness of their particular belief in Islam’, but added, ‘the religion of Islam is not on trial here.'” Of course it isn’t. The dogma that Islam teaches peace and that any Muslim who commits violence in its name must be twisting and hijacking its teachings must always be maintained. Any examination of evidence to the contrary is ipso facto bigoted and “Islamophobic,”...

U.S.-backed Syrian forces on Tuesday seized control of an encampment held by the Islamic State group in eastern Syria, after hundreds of militants surrendered overnight, a spokesman said, signaling the group’s collapse after months of stiff resistance. A group of suspects involved in a January bombing that killed four Americans in northern Syria were among militants captured by the Kurdish-led forces. The taking of the IS camp was a major advance but not the final defeat of the group in Baghouz. Still, fighters from the force were starting to celebrate anyway.

The brutal, hate-filled slaughter of 50 Muslims in mosques in New Zealand garnered worldwide news coverage for days as the outrage was real and visceral. But the reaction belies a broader issue that is generally buried for ill-fitting the narrative: Muslims are not only extraordinarily safe in the United States, they are thriving. First, it’s worth noting what some conservative sites have pointed out: While the world was rightly indignant over the New Zealand killings, the world and media seemed largely indifferent to the slaughter of three times that many Christians in one Africa country in a three-week period, or...

Although doctors could not revive the teen, he regained a pulse after his mother prayed. Now a movie version of their story from producer DeVon Franklin will open in theaters this Easter. When 20th Century Fox released a preview for “Breakthrough” just before Christmas, it quickly went viral. The trailer for the faith-centered film, based on the true story of a boy who fell through a frozen lake, has now racked up more than 100 million views across all platforms. On January 19, 2015, 14-year-old John Smith was trapped underwater for 15 minutes. First responders pulled him from the icy...

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled in favor of the Trump administration by deciding federal officials can detain immigrants at any time for possible deportation after they have served their time in the U.S. for other crimes. The 5-4 decision reversed the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which said officials have to detain these immigrants immediately or they are exempt from ever being detained. Justice Samuel Alito delivered the majority opinion for the court, and he was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh. Justices Steven Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor,...

CNN’s Jim Acosta didn’t get chosen to ask a question during President Trump’s Rose Garden press conference with Brazil president Jair Bolsaonaro on Tuesday, but he managed to complain about a reporter who did. Daily Caller White House correspondent Saagar Enjeti was allowed to ask multiple questions, including whether or not the Supreme Court will be expanded and Trump’s thoughts on the state of social media. Following the press conference, Acosta accused Enjeti of asking Trump a softball question, but it seems the CNN reporter wasn’t paying close attention because the question was directed at the Brazilian president, as opposed...

In the latest abortion-related legal battle to hit the state, a federal judge has temporarily blocked Kentucky officials from implementing their newly-enacted law banning abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Signed Friday by Republican Gov. Matt Bevin, the law requires abortionists to check for a fetal heartbeat before aborting. If a heartbeat is found, committing the abortion would be a Class D felony (punishable by up to five years in prison) except in cases of medical emergencies, which would also have to be documented. The same day Bevin signed the law, Judge David J. Hale of the Western...

Recently, non-government organization Truth in Accounting published a reportabout the financial condition of the 75 largest cities of America. As it turns out, 63 out of 75 cities in America were not able to pay bills at the end of the fiscal year of 2017. The final result of this study was the calculation of the burden borne by taxpayers in these American cities. The formula is simple: the financial balance of the city (positive or negative) is divided by the number of inhabitants. The result is a good assessment of how effectively the city authorities work, depending on the...

The unlikely presidential run of Andrew Yang, who is proposing a $1,000-a-month “freedom dividend” to every adult in America, rolled Friday into San Francisco, where some 3,000 supporters listened to the New York tech entrepreneur warn about how artificial intelligence and robotics are taking jobs. The 44-year-old son of Taiwanese immigrants who met each other at UC Berkeley has already surpassed expectations — virtually nonexistent when he got into the race — by inspiring enough donations to qualify for the Democratic primary debate in June.

Many New Zealand gun owners have voluntarily surrendered their semi-automatic rifles to police following Friday's terror attack at two mosques in Christchurch, Newsweek reported. Some have taken to social media to encourage others to follow their move. "Until today, I was one of the New Zealanders who owned a semi-automatic rifle," farmer John Hart tweeted. "On the farm they are a useful tool in some circumstances, but my convenience doesn't outweigh the risk of misuse. "We don't need these in our country. We have [to] make sure it's #NeverAgain."
