As thousands flee Africa on flimsy boats, just one ship operates in the area between Libya and Italy. A Jewish aid group is partnering up with others to help its operators BERLIN — There is currently a single rescue ship operating in the central Mediterranean to aid the thousands of refugees and migrants attempting to cross on their own from northern Africa over to Europe, according to its operators. The rescue ship, dubbed the Ocean Viking, set sail early last month from Marseilles. It is run by the nonprofit humanitarian organization SOS Mediterranee, and the Central Welfare Board of Jews...

Good Afternoon And WELCOME!

The following has been erroneously attributed to many people including Tim Allen and Ted Nugent. I have no idea who actually wrote this, but in my opinion it raises some interesting facts. Women are upset at Trump’s naughty words -- they also bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray. Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women’s rights only matter if those women are liberal. No Border Walls. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet? But wait... there's more. Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid...

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, but then they happen much faster than you thought they could. The destructive impacts of the climate crisis are now following the trajectory of that economics maxim as horrors long predicted by scientists are becoming realities. More destructive Category 5 hurricanes are developing, monster fires ignite and burn on every continent but Antarctica, ice is melting in large amounts there and in Greenland, and accelerating sea-level rise now threatens low-lying cities and island nations. Tropical diseases are spreading to higher latitudes. Cities face drinking-water shortages. The ocean is becoming warmer...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Great dates in American Politics. – Exactly 32 years ago today, on September 23, 1987, Joe Biden, hair plugs intact, withdrew his name from consideration for the 1988 Democrat presidential nomination: Image may contain: 1 person Biden’s withdrawal from his first run for the presidency came after it had been revealed that he had plagiarized from a speech given in the UK earlier that same year by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock. Biden didn’t just lift a word here and there from Kinnock’s speech, mind you – he stole...

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham confirmed Monday daily press briefings will not be reinstated under her leadership, citing the behavior of journalists who “weren’t being good to” President Trump’s administration. During an appearance on Fox & Friends, Ms. Grisham said briefings would not be returning “right now” and wouldn’t come back unless the president felt they were necessary. “He’s doing just fine,” she said, “And to be honest, the briefings have become a lot of theater and I think a lot of reporters were doing it to get famous. They’re writing books now, they’re all getting famous off of...

Back in the Eighties when “diversity” and “multiculturalism” were starting to invade the universities, critics like me used to ask proponents if they wanted to apply “diversity” to selecting brain surgeons and airline pilots. Seems our common sense was naïve. According to an op-ed by Stanley Goldfarb, a professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, medical schools are under pressure to include in its curriculum  “social justice” shibboleths like gun-control, climate change, and eliminating racial disparities. We are reaching new levels of dangerous absurdity when the study of medicine––perhaps our most practical, science-based discipline with...

Far-left climate extremist Greta Thunberg had a meltdown while speaking at the United Nations on Monday about climate change, claiming that the state of the world is on the verge of collapse. The Washington Examiner noted that Thunberg "has stage-parents, literally. Her mother sang opera internationally until the teenager convinced her to quit due to greenhouse gas emissions from flying, and her father and grandfather both gained fame through acting and directing." Thunberg repeatedly condemned adults by dramatically saying, "how dare you!" as she warned of a future that she suggested may not even exist due to climate change. "My...

In the weeks before the elections, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and other senior officials estimated that the so-called “Deal of the Century”, as the US peace plan for Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) has come to be known, will be published very close to election day. A senior US official told Arutz Sheva on Sunday, however, that the results of the election and the uncertainty they have created in Israel will cause a significant delay in the publication of the plan. "There is a different situation here and there may be a fundamentally different government than the one we...

Rudy Giuliani was fired-up when he appeared on Fox News to discuss the story of Joe Biden’s influence campaign toward Ukraine; and how the media are covering-up the most explosive aspects to the story. (snip) -- Rudy Giuliani Drops Ukrainian Collusion Bomb on Democrats!**** "Ukrainian collusion which was large significant and proven, with Hillary Clinton with the DNC-When the rest of this comes out and we look at China-this will be a lot bigger than Spiro Agnew-They have fallen into a trap."

Mayor de Blasio blamed his lawyers for an improper loan between his political fundraising accounts that drew scrutiny from federal regulators. On Friday—the same day de Blasio quit his quixotic presidential bid—the Federal Election Commission sent the mayor’s campaign treasurer a letter demanding answers about why he billed $53,000 in campaign expenses to a state account he controls, NY Fairness PAC.

Some board members and large investors in WeWork are privately discussing whether and how to replace the company’s co-founder, Adam Neumann, as chief executive to salvage the company’s fortunes, three people involved in the talks said. Among those now favoring removing the charismatic but sometimes erratic Mr. Neumann is SoftBank, the Japanese technology giant that is the biggest investor in the co-working company. The discussions have come as some major money managers have said that they would not invest in WeWork unless an experienced operator was brought in, these people said. For the moment, the talks about Mr. Neumann’s role...

President Donald Trump did no longer endorse Utah Sen. Mike Lee’s inexperienced-cards-for-India bill when he spoke at the Sunday rally in Texas attended by 50,000 Indian supporters of India’s Top Minister Narendra Modi. Trump spoke at the Houston rally after a internal most invite from the visiting leader who heads the Hindu political celebration in India’s chaotically various democracy. Nonetheless Trump did no longer endorse, praise or even mention Lee’s Indians-before-People bill, even though Modi’s 50,000 supporters strongly give a boost to it, Modi’s executive is lobbying for the bill, and Lee is attempting to push it via the Senate...

Chanel Miller — the “Emily Doe” who became a #MeToo movement champion with a powerful victim-impact statement against her assailant — has given her first television interview. In an interview with 60 Minutes, Miller, who went public with her real identity earlier this month, recalls her reaction to the March 2016 sentencing of Brock Turner, a former star swimmer at Stanford University. Turner was found guilty of three felonies for sexually assaulting her outside an on-campus fraternity party in January 2015, and served only three months in county jail. “I was in shock,” Miller says. “So you’re saying I just...

Environment activist Greta Thunberg made a fiery appearance at the United Nations Climate Summit on Monday where she broke down in tears while furiously scolding international delegates. 'I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us for hope. How dare you. You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,' the 16-year-old Swedish activist thundered in her speech at the Climate Action Summit 2019 in New York. Thunberg was seen at the UN headquarters Monday morning with an enraged expression on her...

Written by Bill Anderson and recorded as the debut single by Connie Smith. It was produced by Bob Ferguson for her self-titled debut album. The song was released in August 1964, topping the Billboard country music chart November 28, 1964 for eight consecutive weeks between late 1964 and early 1965.

How is it that ever since the government began telling us what to eat, we have gotten fatter and sicker? In 1977, when the government first set dietary guidelines, the average American male weighed 170 pounds. He now weighs 197. It’s not any better for women —145 to 170. And you don’t need an academic study to know the same thing is happening to kids. Just look around. The weight gain has real-life consequences: the percentage of Americans diagnosed with type 2 diabetes—a condition that can lead to severe medical issues—has risen from 2% in 1977 to over 9% in...
