Left-wing journalist and activist Gideon Levy lashed out at Israeli society and its security forces in an interview with British journalist Owen Jones. “If one attack pushes so many Israelis to become inhuman, there's no other word but inhuman, imagine what it does to Palestinians who live under those attacks for decades, and we always wonder how come they hate us and how come they became those monsters and how come they are so violent and how come that they are not human,” he said. “From my point of view nothing changed. That's an outcome of a reality, of people...

Right-wing political strategist Steve Bannon claims that the 2020 election "decertification process" has started after former President Donald Trump held a large rally in Arizona on Saturday. Trump and his allies—such as Bannon and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell—continue to falsely claim that the last presidential election was "rigged" or "stolen" in favor of President Joe Biden. Bannon, as well as a number of other prominent Trump supporters, also claim that those valid election results will be decertified—which would, in their view, allow for the former president to potentially return to the White House. Constitutional experts and many prominent Republicans have...

The shot that changed the world rang out on a sunny summer's morning in Southeastern Europe. No one knew then that the assassin's bullet would spell the death not just of an Austrian aristocrat but the entire global order, with four empires and millions of lives lost in a conflict on a scale never before seen.. Exactly 100 years ago Saturday, Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and his wife, Sophie, were shot at close range by a young Serbian nationalist on the streets of Sarajevo. The assassination set off a chain reaction that, barely a...

Centenarians have found a way to beat the common diseases of old age, such as cancer and heart disease, research suggests. The study by King's College London found they were more likely to die of infections such as pneumonia, unlike younger groups of elderly people. Researchers said 28% of 100- to 115-year-olds died of "old age" and a fifth of pneumonia. Cancer claimed the lives of fewer than 5% and heart disease fewer than 9%. The study was based on an analysis of 36,000 death certificates. By comparison, these diseases were the most common reasons for death among the 80-...

'It is the tragic story that everybody knows the end to - the doomed Titanic sinks. Its final hours have become the stuff of myth - but how much have the various film versions of the story helped to create and reinforce these legends?'

Polling Question: Who Do You Think Is The Worst President Of The U.S. In The Last 100 Years? President Carter Should Be Happy President Carter has long been considered the worst President of the United States in the last 100 years. No longer as Barack Obama has eclipsed him in the latest poll just out from AHF Polling. Only by 3% but this is significant as America continues a massive decline economically as more and more stimulus bills are introduced now monthly by the Democrats and Obama. These bills can only further erode the U.S. economically month after month as...

NDIANAPOLIS – Indianapolis Motor Speedway has made the reputation of racing greats: A.J. Foyt, Rick Mears, the Unser family. It's been a testing ground for safety features such as rearview mirrors and seat belts, well before they became commonplace in Americans' everyday lives. It's been a movie set, and the place where Janet Guthrie struck a blow for female athletes by becoming the first woman racer at the Indy 500 in 1977. And, as of this year, Indy has been part of American driving and racing for a century.

Ever since John McCain said at a town hall meeting in Januray that he could see U.S. troops staying in Iraq for a hundred years, the Democrats have been trying to use the quote to paint the Arizona senator as a dangerous warmonger. And lately, Barack Obama in particular has stepped up his attacks on McCain's "100 years" notion. But in doing so, Obama is seriously misleading voters - if not outright lying to them - about exactly what Mccain said. And some in the press are failing to call him on it. Here's McCain's full quote, in context, from...

The left, the Democrats, and soldier death porn In addition to the "100 years" lie, the DNC ad in question also shows a serious lack of respect to our servicemen and women by showing imagery of some of them blowing up: The Democratic National Committee has sparked outrage among veterans and others across the internet by running an anti-John McCain ad that shows U.S. soldiers being blown up. After the new ad’s voice-over castigated McCain for suggesting that the United States may stay in Iraq for “maybe 100” years, the footage becomes shocking. The DNC ad then shows an explosive...

A growing number of Democrats have falsely accused Sen. John McCain of “promising” 100 years of war in Iraq. In fact, McCain’s point was that the presence of American forces promotes stability. That’s been the case in Europe and Asia, where Americans have been stationed for more than half a century. It’s been true in the Balkans since the 1990s, when President Clinton sent troops there. America’s military plays a beneficial role when it eliminates America’s enemies; it does so also when it stays on to prevent those enemies from reemerging. But there is a hard truth that McCain did...
