Israel’s Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday that more than 600 people have been killed in Israel, and that the death toll is likely to rise. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Sunday that Israel destroyed around 800 targets in Gaza, including launching pads used by Hamas. The Palestinian health ministry said 370 Palestinians were killed there, and 2,200 others injured. No strangers to war with Israel, many Gazans are sheltering in their homes, with the vast majority lacking access to bunkers. The territory is one of the most densely...

It seems like the global economy is in a tough spot. There are a lot of problems, like conflicts and debts, and it's affecting how things are going. People aren't feeling too confident about it, especially in developed countries where things might even get worse. Well, folks, it's no secret that our debt situation is pretty dire. Back in the day, some folks said it was okay to borrow a lot because interest rates were low. But now, with our national debt soaring past $33 trillion and interest rates on the rise, we're feeling the consequences. It's putting a lot...

Joe Biden, who has always been a compulsive liar but at least sounded cognicent, is now babbling and whispering that Bidenomics works. But for who? Clearly not for first time homebuyers or people looking to move. Bankrate’s 30-year mortgage rate is up to almost 8%, the highest since July 2000 and Willy Slick Clinton. That is a 176% increase in mortgage rates under the most inept “Economic Sheriff” in history. Deficits? Deficits (which Biden makes outlandish claims) are usually only this big at times of HIGH unemployment and recessions. So, are the staggering deficits under Biden a precursor to a...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The White House issued this morning an unequivocal condemnation of the horrific terrorist attacks in Israel that were funded by President Biden. "The Biden Administration denounces the terrible atrocities being committed with the six billion dollars President Biden gave Hamas" said Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. "We are deeply saddened by the deaths caused by every missile purchased with money from the Biden administration." As sickening videos emerged of terrorists carrying out executions of women and children, Hamas issued a statement thanking President Biden for sponsoring their invasion. "We could never have killed, raped and tortured all...

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, an outspoken critic of Israel, has finally broken her silence on the unprecedented Hamas terrorist attack on Israel that has killed at least 600 Israelis and prompted Israel to officially declare war for the first time since 1973. Tlaib's office released a statement to the Detroit News on Sunday, more than 24 hours after Hamas launched thousands of rockets at southern Israel. "I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day," the statement reads. "As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle...

Just got a notification through nextdoor.com ...a local neighborhood watch/network site...about a rather disturbing protest video about Decatur, Alabama PD and the fatal shooting of a guy by the name of Steve Perkins. Turns out theres a video compilation posted to FB. Now take a look at my home Ring Security Cam video from about 3 weeks ago...on 9/18 in the middle of the night some guy tried to walk into my place. He got booked for public intoxication. *See my ring video*. Keep your powder dry folks!

A counter-protest has erupted in New York City's Times Square after pro-Palestinian groups gathered to rally - just one day after terrorist organization Hamas attacked Israel, leaving hundreds of civilians dead. Demonstrators waving Israeli flags clashed with placard-clad protesters - who rallied together at 1pm on Sunday in Manhattan's Midtown. New York is the city with the largest Jewish population in the world. 'How can you support this! ******* murderers!' one man screamed - as a raucous group of around 300 people chanted 'free Palestine' during the demo. As the Palestinian faction in Times Square swelled, a group of Israeli...

There’s more. Once they are granted the right to carry a gun, Israelis are limited to just 50 bullets in their possession at any given time. They must shoot or return old bullets before they can buy new ones, a process that can only take place at tightly regulated shooting ranges where each bullet’s sale is carefully registered. The types of guns permitted also depend on the reason for the license – i.e., a veterinarian may only purchase a gun approved by the government for the killing of animals, a hunter’s license only permits the purchase of a firearm from...

After months of rising tensions between Israel and Palestine, aided by criminal neglect from the international community towards the Palestinians' calls for justice, the conflict-ridden region is now spiralling into a full-blown war. Palestine's militant group Hamas, backed by Iran, launched the deadliest attack in Israel in 50 years, killing 600 people as of 8:30pm Sunday (Bangladesh time). In retaliation, Israel launched strikes in the Gaza Strip; the Palestinian death toll has already crossed 350. While we condemn the senseless violence at any cost, the violence committed by Hamas cannot be judged by the same yardstick as the violence that...

FIFTY years since the last Arab-Israeli war, hostilities have once again broken out in Palestine. Hamas, the Palestinian group which rules Gaza, launched a Saturday morning surprise blitz targeting Israel, sending fighters into the state and initiating what will likely be a lengthy armed confrontation between the Palestinians and Israelis. Tel Aviv has already said Israel is “at war”. According to Hamas, ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ was started in response to “atrocities in Gaza, against Palestinian people [and] our holy sites”. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, meanwhile, has said his people have the right to defend themselves against the “terror of settlers...

Indonesia has called for an end to a wave of violence in the Middle East that has killed hundreds of people on both the Israeli and Palestinian sides following a surprise large-scale attack by Palestinian militants – the deadliest attack on Israel in 50 years. “Indonesia is deeply concerned about the escalation of conflict between Palestine and Israel. Indonesia urges the immediate end of violence to avoid further human casualties,” the Indonesian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday. “The root of the conflict is Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory that must be resolved in accordance with the parameters...

The entire House Democratic caucus voted unanimously to remove the Republican Kevin McCarthy as speaker on Tuesday, joining eight mostly hard-right lawmakers in supporting a motion to vacate the chair. Refusing to intervene in a mess of Republicans’ own making, Democrats looked on as McCarthy was unseated, making him the first House speaker in US history to be removed from office. Under the oversight of their new leader, Hakeem Jeffries of New York, House Democrats have marched in lockstep to challenge Republicans’ policy agenda, offering a stark contrast to the fractious conference that McCarthy tried and failed to unify. As...

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says that Malaysia remains in solidarity with the struggles of the people of Palestine. The Prime Minister also criticised the international community for their one-sided action over the issue of cruelty and oppression against Palestinians. "As a result of this injustice, hundreds of innocent lives have been victims," the Prime Minister posted on X on Sunday (Oct 8). Earlier, Malaysia said that the root causes of the current violence in the Gaza Strip must be acknowledged. "Palestinians have been subjected to the prolonged illegal occupation, blockade and suffering, the desecration of Al-Aqsa as well...

Following Hamas's October 7, 2023, surprise attack on Israel that has reportedly killed hundreds of Israelis and injured thousands more, many prominent anti-Israel activists and organizations have expressed their full support for the Hamas actions on social media platforms such as X and Instagram. Anti-Israel campus groups, community organizations and journalists are framing Hamas’s terror attacks as part of an anti-colonial struggle in which any and all forms of “resistance” are justified.

Rep. Ilhan Omar shockingly called for international protections and support for Palestinians after their fundamentalist terrorist group Hamas carried out a brutal terrorist attack on Israel. The progressive Minnesota congresswoman expressed her compassion for the people in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip amid widespread criticism for her and her colleagues' response to the violence. 'Reminder, Gaza doesn't have shelters or an iron dome and to please pray for them,' Omar wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. 'May peace prevail in the region and move us towards a moral awakening to care about the human suffering we are...

U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) shared a post in which media personality Mehdi Hasan warned against indiscriminate killing in Gaza after Hamas launched a brutal terrorist attack against Israel, sending rockets, killing hundreds, destroying buildings and taking hostages. Rep. Omar issued a “reminder” — as the world rallies around Israel — that Gaza, from which the Hamas attacks were launched “doesn't have shelters or an iron dome” to protect civilians and, anticipating the Israel’s powerful response, she asks people to “Please pray for them.” Drawing vituperative rebuke in the comments, Omar writes: “Palestinians are human beings who have been in...
