After being forced by Covid-19 restrictions to celebrate Passover alone last year, like their Israeli brethren, American Jews were by and large able to celebrate the Passover seder with their friends and families this year. And as in Israel, American Jewish families reveled in their deliverance from loneliness on the Jewish festival of deliverance. But even the joy of Passover couldn’t dispel the twin storm clouds rising around the largest Jewish diaspora. The first threat is growing Jew-hatred. American Jewish groups are good at fighting white supremacism. Unfortunately, the most dangerous external threat to Jewish life in America doesn’t come...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was really on a roll today, spewing out utter nonsense.

Poking back at the wokesters. I heard of these people, but did not know who they were until now. These people were in academia and were disgusted with the woke culture and crazy new fields of study they were seeing. They decided to make fun of this by learning the terminology and writing crazy "scholarly" papers that were submitted to the leading publications in the woke fields of study. But, the papers got accepted, some were published and one got an award. During the peer reviews some of the comments were even crazier than what they tried to slip through...

“China has an overall goal, and I don’t criticize them for the goal, but they have an overall goal to become the leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world, and the most powerful country in the world. That’s not going to happen on my watch because the United States are going to continue to grow and expand.” That was Joe Biden in his March 25 press conference. The squad of compliant reporters failed to ask about gains China had already made on Biden’s watch, which began in 2012. That year, as The Atlantic reported, “Biden...

Social media and the Democrats are suddenly struck colorblind. Last Friday, a 25-year-old Nation of Islam supporter named Noah Green rammed his car into a barricade outside the U.S. Capitol, killing police officer William Evans and injuring another officer in the process, before Green himself was shot and killed by a cop at the scene. In stark contrast to the countless lamentations – by media outlets and elected Democrats – that the people who stormed the Capitol building on January 6 were an undifferentiated pack of “racists” and “white supremacists,” Democrats and their leftwing allies have been remarkably uninterested in...

Baseball's greatest day was April 15, 1947. It was the day when Jackie Robinson broke baseball's infamous color line to become the first Black player ever to play in a major league game. Finally, after centuries of racial discrimination, there was a sense that merit, not skin pigment, was what was to be valued in America's life. Because baseball was America's game. What has been baseball's worst day? Just last week, when the corporate suits of Major League Baseball stripped Atlanta of this year's All-Star Game. Why? They caved to the racial demagoguery of the most powerful man in the...

The Spanish firm Grifols helped set off a kerfuffle last year when it, along with other firms, offered nearly double the going price for blood donations for a COVID-19 treatment trial. Brigham Young University in Idaho had to threaten some enterprising students with suspension to keep them from intentionally trying to contract COVID-19. The trial failed, however, and now the Barcelona-based firm is hoping to extract something far more valuable from the plasma of young volunteers: a set of microscopic molecules that could reverse the process of aging itself. Earlier this year, Grifols closed on a $146 million-deal to buy...

WASHINGTON, Sunday, April 7. It is generally believed here to-night, that the greater portion of the armament of troops and supplies fitted out at New-York is destined for Texas. The howitzers, horses and Flying Artillery are of no available service except on land, and there is no point at the South except Texas, where they could be advantageously employed. The Flying Artillery would be sent to none of the Gulf Forts, where only simple artillerists, accustomed to manage heavy sea-coast guns, would be ordered. The mounted troops will go to Texas to replace the force now there, demoralized by TWIGGS'...

American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president Randi Weingarten, who leads the nation’s most powerful teachers’ union, has a message for fellow Jews: they should not criticize the unions, because they are part of America’s “ownership class.” Weingarten’s comment, which invoked a stereotype of wealthy Jews commonly viewed as antisemitic, came during a recent interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is unlikely to run for a second term as the state’s No. 2 politician, according to a senior aide who said the Republican is instead expected to focus on his “GOP 2.0” initiative to reframe the party in a post-Trump era.

Ted Nugent has suggested the novel coronavirus is referred to as COVID-19 because there have been 18 other coronaviruses. The outspoken conservative rocker's factual error was part of his Facebook Live stream earlier today (Wednesday, April 7) in which he lamented the cancelation of musical shows in 2020 and 2021 because the pandemic forced restrictions on large public gatherings. COVID-19 is short for Coronavirus Disease 2019, which is the year it was identified. The World Health Organization announced the name in February 2020. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "CO" stands for "corona," "VI" stands for "virus,"...

Prince Harry is now chief impact officer for BetterUp, a Californian corporate consultancy whose ‘mission’ is to sell online life coaching with — in his words, — ‘innovation, impact and integrity’. Harry may not realise it, but he is the latest celebrity frontman for the rapidly growing, broadly unregulated and frequently dubious corporate ‘coaching’ industry.

BetterUp is one of a group of Californian companies on the growing, corporate edge of life coaching. Its competitors have names...

Previously unseen e-mails on Hunter Biden’s “Hard Drive from Hell” point to never-before-seen evidence of involvement by Joe Biden in his son’s lucrative business dealings in Ukraine with natural gas conglomerate Burisma Holdings, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal. In a previously unreported email reviewed by The National Pulse, Rosemont Seneca Partners employee Joan K. Peugh advises Hunter Biden – who is addressed by his given name, Robert – that he is scheduled for a White House meeting on April 16th, 2014. Prior to today, it was known that Devon Archer had attended the meeting in the West Wing, and...

The only language that has been revived from a “dead language” to become an official national language spoken today is Hebrew. Hebrew is an amazing language wherein characters are both alphabetical and numerical. Not only do words have meaning, but every letter has a numerical value associated with a meaning. The usage of numbers in the Bible with such consistency of meaning is like unto a set of keys given to unlock doors. Inside the chambers are revelations of mysteries and treasures of knowledge and understanding. The the biblical number assigned to man is the number six. On the sixth...

“He who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, ‘Whomever I shall kiss, He is the one; seize Him.’ And immediately he came to Jesus and said, ‘Hail, Rabbi!’ and kissed Him. And Jesus said to him, ‘Friend, do what you have come for’” (Matthew 26:48-50). Judas Iscariot, in his attitudes and actions, is a classic example of the false believer. As one of the Twelve, Judas was extremely disappointed at the kind of Messiah Jesus turned out to be. Instead of teaching the disciples how to conquer and control, Jesus taught them how to submit and serve. Any...
