Far-left anti-Israel activists in Chicago demanding President Joe Biden end U.S. aid to Israel cheered and applauded a massive attack of hundreds of drones and missiles by the Islamic Republic of Iran on the Jewish state, which ultimately failed but had initially posed a severe threat to residents throughout Israel. At a Chicago conference on Saturday of the March on the Democratic National Convention 2024 — a coalition of far-left groups planning to protest the DNC in August to demand an end to U.S. aid to Israel, attendees — many masked — expressed support for Iran’s missile and drone attack...

Pentagon officials are “quietly cheering” popular conservative media figure Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News, according to a report. Politico reported Tuesday that a senior defense official told the outlet: We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people. The official also said Carlson “made a mockery” of the free press and “repeatedly cherry-picked department policies and used them to destroy DoD as an institution.” “Good riddance,” a second defense official said.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Centers for Disease Control is telling Americans not to cheer or yell during Super Bowl parties. The CDC issued official guidance for Super Bowl parties and gatherings on Sunday aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19. That includes discouraging cheering and yelling

Former Rep. John Delaney (D-MD) told the Associated Press in Iowa on Wednesday that fellow Democratic presidential candidates were guilty of “cheering on a recession because they want to stick it to Trump.” Delaney, one of the more moderate candidates, has warned fellow candidates that policies such as “Medicare for All” and decriminalized illegal border crossings are bad for the country and sure to fail in a general election. In the first Democratic presidential primary debate in Miami, Florida, in June, Delaney said: “All of the big transformative things we have ever done in this country’s history have happened when...

From the "It's come to this" and the "What will they think of next?" department: The National Union of Students warned audience members at its conference that they must not clap or cheer during speeches because clapping and cheering make deaf people feel excluded. According to an article in The Telegraph, attendees at last week’s conference were warned that clapping and cheering could have a “serious impact” on deaf participants, and they were instructed to use “jazz hands” to show their support instead. “No whooping, it does have a serious impact on some delegates’ ability to access [the] conference,”...

Here is the pack of lies from The WashPost and NYTimes...

Like pretty much else in this race for the White House as it pertains to Donald Trump, this Muslims-celebrating-in-Jersey-after-9/11-story dominating the narrative for days is a fascinating study in media process. Before we continue, a little background from the author: I was in New York on 9/11. I lived in Jersey (still do) at the time. I, like the rest of the country, watched the news non-stop for days, weeks after the attacks. And while I do vividly remember images coming out of the Middle East of people openly celebrating the attacks (that one older woman with big glasses snapping...

It did happen, and I saw it. Donald Trump is telling the truth about Muslims celebrating in New Jersey on September 11, 2001. I drove with family members though Patterson, N.J. that morning, after the planes hit. It's not the kind of thing you forget. We witnessed people in traditional Muslim garb dancing, jumping, shouting and celebrating like their team had won the Super Bowl, just as Trump said. "I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," Trump said Saturday. "And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building...

Nancy Pelosi repeatedly stood to applaud Barack Obama when he addressed a joint session of Congress Tuesday night.

The drills are about to begin. With his right hand, Zhang Ran hoists a yellow flag above his head, much like a sailor directing traffic on an aircraft carrier. He's facing 150 salesclerks sitting in tidy rows, handpicked by their labor union to learn the approved cheers and chants for next year's Beijing Olympics. It's all good-humored without the slightest whiff of swearing or boorish behavior. Nobody doubts that TV-friendly venues will glitter when the Olympics open in eight months. It's other matters that cause worry — people's manners, their knowledge of many unfamiliar sports and the government's promise to...

World Cup grips South Korean fans Talk in Valley not about North's nuclear threat, but Swiss soccer team BY BRENT HOPKINS, Staff Writer RESEDA - Even with nuclear tension brewing on the Korean Peninsula, Alexander Frei seems scarier than Kim Jong Il. As diplomats bickered Monday over North Korea's attempts to test ballistic missiles that could bear atomic arms, local Korean-Americans dismissed the news as more posturing. They were keenly interested, however, in discussing a different red menace: the Swiss national soccer squad. "To be honest, more people are talking about the World Cup," said the Rev. Pastor Elliot Min...
