Five months after canceling its planned trips to Israel, and then — following outrage from Jewish organizations — apologizing days later and saying the trips would be reinstated, the Sierra Club has quietly posted a new excursion to Israel for next year. Called “Natural and Historical Highlights of Israel,” the two-week trip in March 2023 will include many of the same activities the Sierra Club offered before activists convinced the environmental nonprofit to cancel two Israel outings. The trip will feature snorkeling, bird watching, nights on a kibbutz and a visit to Tel Aviv. Participants will also meet with Palestinians...

Nearly 100 shots rang out near a recreation center in Mayor Jim Kenney’s (D) Philadelphia at approximately 7:00 p.m. Tuesday after at least two suspects opened fire. 6 ABC reported that “children were practicing sports” when two suspects exited a white SUV and opened fire. Five people were injured as a result. A teenage witness said, “We were just sitting there laughing and talking and after that, we heard two gunshots. We thought it was fireworks at first, so we didn’t run, but after that the automatic gun started going off, we all started running.” FOX 29 noted that there...

ONALASKA, Wis. (WKBT) — Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels stopped by the La Crosse County Republican Party headquarters Wednesday night for what the party called a unity rally. The party says they hope the unity events will bring the party together to help defeat Gov. Tony Evers in the November election. Lieutenant governor candidate Roger Roth joined Michels at the campaign event. Roth said the support for Republican candidates during last week’s primary shows promise for the GOP in November’s election. “Because of these 20-plus candidates running statewide, activating all of their friend groups and families all across our state,...

From branding parents speaking out against critical race theory and sexual ideology in schools as terrorists to the Mar-a-Lago raid, Attorney General Merrick Garland’s radicalized Justice Department transforms pre-election political opposition into national security threats. The infamous DOJ letter on schools was sent out a month before the gubernatorial election in Virginia, where the National School Board Association, not to mention much of the D.C. establishment, is based. Much as Garland’s DOJ operatives feared, the school protests helped elect Gov. Glenn Younkin and nearly toppled New Jersey’s Democrat governor in the bargain. The Mar-a-Lago raid was carefully timed around the...

VIDEO If it is a kooky conspiracy theory as Joe Scarborough and his little sidekick Willie allege, then why do we see prospective IRS recruits at what appears to be the Alec Baldwin Weapons Training Center? Oh, and besides guns and bullets, it looks like those future IRS agents are going to need to be armed with lots and lots of glazed donuts.

Under pressure from President Biden to find a way to prevent Donald Trump from becoming America’s 47th President of the United States, Attorney General Merrick Garland unleashed an army of FBI agents to scour Mar-a-Lago in search of something, anything that might fill in the enormous gap in DOJ’s case against the former president: The glaring absence of evidence of specific intent needed to bring any charge against former President Trump. While DOJ can snow a grand jury into believing lame evidence credible and succeed in indicting just about anyone (not difficult when the prosecution runs the show unopposed), it...

French psychologist Gustave Le Bon, illustrating “the mental state of crowds,” wrote about the extent to which the manager of a popular theater of his day used off-stage theatrics to make it almost impossible for his audience to distinguish the “real” from the “unreal.” “[The manager] in consequence of his only playing sombre dramas, was obliged to have the actor who took the part of the traitor protected on his leaving the theatre to defend him against the violence of the spectators, indignant at the crimes, imaginary though they were, which the traitor had committed,” Le Bon wrote in his...

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.North America Syndicate DEAR DR. ROACH: On vacation, or when swimming in a chlorinated pool, the question often arises: How does a quick shower compare to a half hour of swimming in a properly chlorinated private pool, which leaves you cleaner? I understand that soap and physically scrubbing your body could affect your cleanliness. -- R.H. ANSWER: Chlorine in a swimming pool is added to keep you safe from germs in water....

In their zeal to create “safe” campus environments, universities have attempted to create an educational environment where students from approved victim groups are coddled, nurtured, and shielded from any criticism or intellectual or emotional challenges. So-called hate speech—which now includes any expression that contradicts the prevailing progressive orthodoxy on campuses—is said to be harmful, even violent, by those forced to listen to others’ ideas. Not content with simply acknowledging disparities between races, the orthodoxy on campuses now forces everyone to confront racism—including their own—with talk of implicit bias, invisible racism, “white privilege,” and microaggressions, together with a consequential battery of...

The Left — from the media to the White House — thrives on identity politics, hypocrisy and double standards. Especially on questions of race, ethnicity, and “diversity.” On August 5, a murder victim became the fourth Muslim to be killed in Albuquerque since November 2021. Even though the identity of the killer and his motives were unknown, many rushed to denounce the killings as “hate crimes,” conjuring up images of the left’s blame-all bogeyman: white supremacists. In a post on Twitter that started, “I am angered and saddened by the horrific killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque,” Joe Biden...

In several posts on his social media platform, the former president first mockingly endorsed lawyer Dan Goldman in his race for Congressional District 10 in New York, hailing him as the man who “headed up the Impeachment Committee and lost.” “Lawyer Dan Goldman is running for Congress, NY-10, and it is my great honor to Strongly Endorse him,” Trump began. “I do this not because of the fact that he headed up the Impeachment Committee and lost, but because he was honorable, fair, and highly intelligent.” “While it was my honor to beat him, and beat him badly, Dan Goldman...

On August 14, 2022, The Atlantic published an attack on the rosary. The Atlantic attacked on a Sunday, and on the day before the Feast of the Assumption, a holy day dedicated to Mary. The Atlantic is rated as "leaning left" by the AllSides media rating site. The author of The Atlantic piece is Daniel Panneton of Toronto, Canada. Panneton is "the Manager of the Online Hate Research & Education Project" for the Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Center in Toronto. I contacted the Center and they graciously provided the following comments. Panneton's contract is expiring and he is...

Under pressure to address skyrocketing street crime last summer, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced a $1 million reward program for people who report illegal guns. “I want you to know that I recognize that people are scared. People all over the city. This is the topic of conversation,” Lightfoot said as she announced the fund’s creation in July 2021. “Gun violence is holding us back from realizing our individual potential and our potential and greatness as a city.” In the year since Lightfoot announced the initiative, however, the city has only paid out $10,395 to tipsters, according to the police...

'Kushner came to the D.C. swamp on the coattails of his wife as nothing more than a young and rich, run-of-the-mill liberal New York Democrat...' ================================================================== (Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In an op-ed on American Greatness, Peter Navarro, one of former President Donald Trump’s top trade advisers, blamed many of the administration’s failures on Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The criticism from Navarro, who himself was recently arrested by the House’s partisan Jan. 6 committee, comes as some left-wing media outlets have floated the rumor that Kushner may have been a mole in the FBI’s raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. It...

The Russian proposal came as an extremely unpleasant surprise to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic (right) In late July and early August, the Western Balkans were stirred up by two statements that made some wonder: Will a new war really start soon? First, Vladimir Djukanovic, one of the top functionaries of the party of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, announced the possibility of Serbia's "denazification" of the region, following Russia's failed attempt in Ukraine. A few days later, the Russian ambassador to Belgrade, Alexander Botan-Kharchenko, announced the possibility of creating a Russian military base in Serbia. Vucic quickly denied the statement of...

Judge ruled in 2012 that a president's discretion to declare records "personal" is far-reaching and mostly unchallengeable. When it comes to the National Archives, history has a funny way of repeating itself. And legal experts say a decade-old case over audio tapes that Bill Clinton once kept in his sock drawer may have significant impact over the FBI search of Melania Trump's closet and Donald Trump's personal office. The case in question is titled Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration and it involved an effort by the conservative watchdog to compel the Archives to forcibly seize hours of...
