"Car Intifada" Encourages Palestinians to deliberately run over Jewish civilians, including young children The Jewish faith has bestowed many wondrous divine blessings upon the world. Among them is, of course, the Sabbath day. The Day of Rest, the Seventh Day, the Sabbath, is the one precious and humanitarian day set aside from the rest of the week’s labors. It is a day of freedom and leisure but one which allows the human spirit the opportunity to turn to the lofty considerations of divine holiness. Interestingly, this marvelous and utterly civilized concept was quite inexplicable to the Greeks and the Romans....

Speaking the truth regarding the Palestinians’ Jew-hating cult of death has never been in fashion The United Nations hosted a fashion show on November 10th celebrating the UN’s international year of solidarity with the Palestinian people. The event was held on the same day that Palestinians, incited by their leaders, murdered two Israelis in cold blood. Six Israelis have died at the hands of Palestinian thugs in the last 30 days, including a baby girl who was run over and killed by a member of Hamas on October 22nd. As Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor asked rhetorically regarding the fashion...

Predictions about administration coming true: Nuclear Iran, Islamic Caliphate, Reincarnation of the Soviet Union, Permanent underclass of poverty stricken American I’m sure no one is terribly surprised at the recent revelations that the much-hyped “Affordable” “Care” Act was passed on the basis of lies and deceit. Or as its architect, economist Jonathan Gruber gleefully told a group of health economists, ignorance afforded a political advantage and the bill was passed because of “the stupidity of the American voter.” If anyone is surprised at this revelation, then perhaps Gruber’s assessment of Americans was correct. Think about it: a guy comes along...

A river in Egypt.... When we last heard from the totally-not-crazy Nancy Pelosi, she was predicting that “Civilization as we know it today would be in jeopardy if Republicans win the Senate.” Then, Nancy’s worst fears came true. We’re sure you’re aware of this, because the world fell apart last Tuesday and you probably spent the last week scrounging for food in our GOP-created post-apocalyptic wasteland. It’s so terrifying out there that Ms. Pelosi has decided that - rather than face the reality of the wasteland - she’s simply going to pretend the Republican wave didn’t happen.

The new Congress must take whatever action it can to reverse and stop the harm that it represents; people’s jobs and lives depend on it. The intense cold that many Americans are encountering arrives more than a month before the official start of winter on December 2l. To discuss this, we need to keep in mind that weather is what is occurring now. Climate is measured over longer periods, the minimum of which is thirty years and, beyond that, centuries. We are colder these days because the Earth has been in a cooling cycle for 19 years and that cycle...

The Marxist/UN threat for One World Government became reality on November 10, 2014 The picture of President Barack Obama, looking ever so boyishly coy, holding hands with world leaders, including those of China and Russia, is the icing on the Amnesty cake. People didn’t have to be dead to get the creepy sensation someone was walking over their grave when coming across the photo of Obama, the Happy Hand-holder on the Drudge Report. Somewhat chillingly, Russia’s Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, tipped off by Obama that he would have “more flexibility after my election” back in 2012, is in the same...

1.Restore Obamacare cuts to Medicare. Democrats cut an estimated $716 billion from Medicare to finance the subsidies in Obamacare. Republicans should reverse these Medicare cuts and restore the Medicare Advantage program. When low-information voters believe liberal lies, Democrats win elections. Sadly, it doesn’t matter what is true, only what the voters believe. In the Delaware U.S. Senate race, freshman Democrat Chris Coons ran ads of voters praising Coons for stopping the tea party from cutting Medicare. That ad also praised Coons as someone who tells the truth. Of course the tea party never wanted to cut Medicare. President Obama and...

School officials in one Wisconsin town have taken irrational fears of firearms to a new low. According to WEAU, the Eau Claire School District has cancelled their annual Veteran’s Day Program because they’re worried about “uneasiness” over the traditional 21 gun salute. Keep in mind a Veteran’s Day 21 gun salute uses blanks. And those blanks are fired from show piece guns that are mechanically altered so that they can not fire real bullets. And keep in mind, that 21 gun salute, and those blanks, and those show piece guns are used by military veterans – men and women who...

The red tape nightmare of firing those responsible for putting our nation’s heroes on death lists In a long-overdue effort, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald announced yesterday that the scandal-plagued agency would undergo the “largest reorganization of the Department of Veterans Affairs since its establishment,” as he told CNN. McDonald took charge of the VA three months ago following the resignation of his predecessor, Eric Shinseki. Shinseki’s tenure at the VA lasted over five years, longer than any previous Secretary, and under his watch an enormous backlog of claims reached a peak of 900,000 in March 2013. Even as...

If Angela Merkel is truly interested in protecting her country from Islamic terrorism, she should quit with allowing the media and police their full-throttle Tea Party smearing of citizens Note to Chancellor Angela Merkel: If Germany is really serious about fighting terrorism, why are you allowing your media and police to label football fan citizens willing to get out and protest against Sharia law, ‘filled with hate for each other’ ‘“hooligans?” Merkel’s German government seems to be taking a page from the American Democrats in labeling any resistance to the status quo with names with which the politically correct mainstream...

Saint Michael the Archangel: "Defend us in battle" and "be our protection" against wickedness It’s Veterans Day in America, yet there are progressively fewer to venerate. Most of the World War II generation is gone and even the older Vietnam vets are reaching average life expectancy. Relatively few Americans have served in Iraq or Afghanistan, and most of them never saw battle. Yet even as explaining combat to a civilian is like describing the sky to somebody blind from birth, we “brave few,” as Shakespeare famously put it in Henry V, feel compelled to try anyway. Ask a veteran what...

Getting Immigration RITE: Reform Immigration Through Enforcement’ There’s one on every lapel including my own, but tomorrow our entire hearts should be red poppies for veterans like the perpetually plucky Canada Free Press columnist, Jerry McConnell. The poppy you wear on your lapel gets put away after each Veterans/Remembrance Day. The one in your heart can be worn forever. “It was 68 years ago today that Jerry McConnell landed with the 1st Marines on a beach at Guadalcanal, in 1942. It would be over four months before Jerry got to take a deep breath, and step back from the constant...

he voters don’t want a lot of vapid, idiotic talk of climate change and other environmental fantasies. They want jobs. They want an economy that will provide them What the midterm voters wanted was an economy that returned to its average 3.3% annual growth since the end of World War II. For six years of the Obama presidency, growth has all but disappeared. In 2013, as measured by the World Bank, it was barely 1.9% That translated into a lack of jobs, stagnant middle class income, and what Obama correctly called the Great Recession, but could not end. Instead, in...

America's honour and credibility--and any hope of ending the Jewish-Arab conflict--demand this happens very soon The Republican Party’s stunning victory in the American mid-term elections offers real hope that President Obama will now be held to honouring the written commitments made to Israel by President George W Bush in his exchange of letters with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on 12 April 2004—as overwhelmingly endorsed by the House of Representatives 407-9 on 23 June 2004 and the Senate 95-3 the next day. Those commitments were made in support of Israel’s decision to unilaterally disengage from Gaza—which Israel duly honoured in...

Obama is mad now, more than ever and he will punish the nation severely through his executive orders, starting with the amnesty middle finger Don’t you love the arrogance…the denial…the pathetic threats and whine fest following the most history-making election in U.S. history? Pelosi and Reid are marching in lockstep declaring they won’t quit. Obama acts like it is ‘no big’ deal and threatens amnesty by Christmas with more executive orders. America won the race Of course they won’t quit…there must be at least one or two losers left in the audience and certainly some interested mice running around looking...

Sitting astride his Pale Horse, Obama has introduced Death into the heart of our nation Six years ago Obama unleashed the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse upon a largely unsuspecting nation. The merciless work of Death, War, Conquest, and Famine is nearly complete. Hope Earlier this week the results of the mid-term elections coaxed a timid light from the darkness. Hope flickered. Perhaps Republicans might once again adopt the Conservatism always victorious in past contests with evil. Perhaps in doing so Conservatism might belay the six-year reign of terror unleashed by our President. Actions Needed To forestall the consummation of...

With these Liberals, can a “Goodness Commissioner” be far behind? The fact that an appointee of Ontario’s Liberal government, a former federal Liberal MP, was charging taxpayers so to travel in style and that there was no small expense she wouldn’t pass along, was no surprise. What was indeed a shock is the province of Ontario has a Fairness Commissioner. Who knew? Earlier this week, Ontario’s Fairness Commissioner was questioned about her expenses. According to PC MPP Monte McNaughton, the commissioner, Jean Augustine, billed the taxpayer for $3,400 in limousine rides and $3.40 for airplane headphones. In addition to these...

“Oh boy this is going to be a nail biter; a real long night; and we might not know who will control the Senate until January!” Reading sites like Real Clear Politics (RCP) this was the only reasonable position to take yesterday. In race after race across the country we were told that Republican candidates were losing the strong lead we intuitively knew they had. We heard from RCP and elsewhere that Tom Cotton’s lead had fallen to just 2 points when that same day another poll had him plus 12. Both were factored in and of course that diluted...

Arrival of thousands of illegals from Central American nations where EV-D68 is far more common, and the confirmation of 998 cases now afflicting mostly American children, is strictly coincidence On Oct. 7 the Patriot Post published my column, “Enterovirus D68: A Call to Arms.“ It was a plea aimed at investigative journalists and dedicated epidemiologists, asking them to determine whether what is now known as the EVD-68 enterovirus could be directly attributed to the massive influx of illegal alien children orchestrated by the Obama administration last summer. My call has been partially answered. “The deadly EV-D68 enterovirus epidemic, which struck...

For Big Green, science is not about irrefutable truth. It is an instrument of propaganda to be distorted to advance their lies It is doubtful that most Americans and others around the world know how vast the organizational structure of the environmental movement is and how much wealth it generates for those engaged in an agenda that would drag humanity back to the Stone Age. If that sounds extreme, consider a world without access to and use of energy or any of the technological and scientific advances that have extended and enhanced our lives, from pesticides that kill insect and...
