In an attempt to block the Ayalon highway, hundreds of protesters are reportedly attempting to push through police lines. Despite the organizer's attempts to fight the waving of PLO flags at the demonstration by distributing Israeli flags, countless PLO flags, along with flags of the radical Antifa movement, have been spotted at the demonstration. At 8:00 PM, police estimated that approximately 15,000 protesters had gathered at the square. At the same time, approximately 2,000 protesters demonstrated in Haifa, and in...

I’ve been looking for Donald J. Trump everywhere. Ever since the election of 2020, the man who made me laugh out loud regularly disappeared. He was replaced by some angry bitter guy I didn’t recognize and no longer wanted to listen to. It was sad to watch him get so grumpy. His best attribute was his lightheartedness and penchant for stingy zingers. I don’t know where he went for all this time, but today…. he’s back! I haven’t laughed this hard in a while at anything he’s done, including those God-awful NFT trading cards. rump had to sit for a...

Mayor Eric Adams is traveling from New York City to El Paso on Saturday to visit the border amid a crisis in which thousands of migrants from Latin America have been bused to the north. The trip comes one day after Mr. Adams said he expected the influx of migrants to cost the city as much as $2 billion — significantly higher than previous estimates. The price tag could be “anywhere from $1.5 billion to $2 billion,” he told Caribbean Power Jam Radio on Friday. Previously, in November, as the stream of migrants into the city slowed, Mr. Adams said...

“With our rituals, there’s never any murder, there’s never any sacrifice, there’s never any blood rites to Satan. We don’t worship the devil. We don’t cast magic spells…”In fact, as the Global Order of Satan UK – as well as other leaders and members of Satanic groups around the world insist – it would be difficult to spot a Satanist walking down the street.

How can you even discuss reducing SS/Medicare benefits when we are sending over $100B a year to Ukraine; giving welfare to millions of illegals, refugees & poor migrants; paying people not to work while the working class breaks its back; and funding bureaucrats who detest us? NO.

A new year dawns bright, with the US hurtling over the fiscal cliff. The lame duck Congress voted for a pork‐​packed $1.7 trillion budget bill. As the saying goes, it’s only money! At a time of enormous domestic need, Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell pushed an extra $45 billion for Ukraine, declaring that Washington’s “number one priority” was supporting that nation. Kentuckians might wonder if their Senator had moved to Odesa, Kharkiv, or Lviv over the holidays. Alas, this appropriation was small change compared to the overall “defense” (in fact, mostly for offensive operations) budget. Congress hiked military outlays to...

Joe Biden’s private attorney Robert Bauer, former Obama White House Counsel and former Perkins Coie top lawyer, released Saturday morning a timeline of the four incidences of discoveries of classified documents in the private office and home of Biden over the past three months. The timeline offers the clearest admission that Biden, the Department of Justice and the National Archives kept these discoveries of grave breaches of national security from the American people until it was leaked to CBS News last Monday. Media reports state that some of the documents were marked Top Secret/SCI. Bauer’s timeline runs from the initial...

A Cold War British nuclear sub sneaked into a Soviet naval exercise and took closeup underwater pictures of Russia’s new aircraft carrier. n 1977, with the Cold War in full swing, the U.K. Royal Navy’s nuclear-powered attack submarine HMS Swiftsure (S-126) slipped right into the heart of a large-scale Soviet Northern Fleet exercise in the Barents Sea.

The submarine recorded extremely valuable acoustic signatures and took incredible underwater periscope pictures of the Soviet carrier’s hull and propellers. As...

When Ana Belén Montes was arrested as a Cuban spy 10 days after Sept. 11, 2001, the people who knew her best couldn’t believe it. One college friend said such treachery didn’t seem true to Ana’s character. During their time at the University of Virginia, the pal wrote in a newspaper op-ed, “The only secret she ever gave us was her mother’s luscious flan recipe.” But not only was Montes a Cuban spy, she was “one of the most damaging spies in US history,” author Jim Popkin writes in “Code Name Blue Wren: The True Story of America’s Most Famous...

Explanation: Perihelion for 2023, Earth's closest approach to the Sun, was on January 4 at 16:17 UTC. That was less than 24 hours after this sharp image of the Sun's disk was recorded with telescope and H-alpha filter from Sydney, Australia, planet Earth. An H-alpha filter transmits a characteristic red light from hydrogen atoms. In views of the Sun it emphasizes the Sun's chromosphere, a region just above the solar photosphere or normally visible solar surface. In this H-alpha image of the increasingly active Sun planet-sized sunspot regions are dominated by bright splotches called plages. Dark filaments of plasma snaking...

[Catholic Caucus] Centralisation: "Synodality"-Francis Demotes Cardinal into Auxiliary BishopFrancis’ Apostolic Constitution In Ecclesiarum communione, places the Roman Diocese under his direct command, writes SilereNonPossum.it (January 6).• Francis turns Rome’s seven auxiliary bishops into “my episcopal Vicars” with “ordinary vicarious power” who make their decisions “within their competence.”• Rome’s Cardinal Vicar Angelo De Donatis is thus reduced to an auxiliary bishop because he may only act “in communion with the Episcopal Council” or “with me.”• Francis personally appoints even the parish-priests and discerns the candidates “for possible admission to Holy Orders” who must be submitted “to me,”.• Francis also wants to...

During an interview with NPR aired on Friday’s “Morning Edition,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen argued that inflation has been “quite low for the last six months or so,” but she wants to see “inflation come down to much lower levels” over the next year. Yellen said, “Inflation has really been quite moderate, quite low for the last six months or so, importantly, because of lower energy prices. We continue to see improvement in supply chains. Goods prices have actually been falling. And some of the supply chain issues that pushed up the prices of goods and commodities, those have really...
