In Dr. Peter Hammond’s book, “Slavery, Terrorism and Islam,” he documents the way Muslims slowly develop a presence in various countries and as their population numbers build, become more aggressive and assertive about exercising Sharia law. “Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life,” Dr. Hammond notes in his book. “Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.”

Just hours after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he would run for president as an independent, more than $11 million gushed to the coffers of the super PAC supporting him. American Values 2024 said it raised $11.28 million in just six hours following Kennedy’s announcement in Philadelphia on Indigenous People’s Day, according to a press release. “Millions of independent-minded Americans are seeing through the most powerful censorship and propaganda campaign against any candidate in American political history,” said Tony Lyons, a co-founder of the PAC, in the press release. “They are angry at the DNC for attempting to disenfranchise them,...

NYU law student president says Israel ‘bears full responsibility’ for terror attack in newsletter — and it costs her cushy lawyer job The president of New York University’s student bar association lost a cushy law job offer after sending an incendiary pro-Hamas message Tuesday — cheering the terror attack on civilians and fully blaming Israel for the bloodshed. Ryna Workman also accused the Jewish state of “genocide” in the missive to the school — which caused so much outrage that a law firm planning to employ her rescinded its offer just hours later over the “inflammatory comments.” “I want to...

The Japanese Bankers Association said on Tuesday glitches at its payment clearing network system disrupted more than 1.4 million domestic fund transfers, the first major system failure that the banking group has experienced. The failure at the system’s relaying computers blocked transfers to and from 11 banks including MUFG Bank, Resona Bank, Yamaguchi Bank and JPMorgan Chase Bank. A total of 1.4 million transfers from the 11 banks were affected on Tuesday, the operator of the system said. Of those, 1 million were handled by alternative methods, while 400,000 remained unprocessed as of Tuesday evening.

Just when you think it cannot get much worse -- with lawlessness overtaking our cities, our southern border being overrun, and the president of United States declaring half of voting age Americans “a threat to the very soul of this country” -- unsettling bricks are being added to the wall of an emerging police state in America. We now learn that the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security has officially categorized Trump supporters -- the so-called members of MAGA -- as “domestic terrorists.” Additionally, the FBI has formed a secret task force that appears nonpartisan, but actually operates in unprecedented...

Brit Hume admitted on the air this week that Trump’s policies with regard to the U.S. border and on the Middle East were ‘better than what we have now.’ Millions of Americans already realize this, but it’s nice to hear someone at FOX News besides Sean Hannity finally say it.

The Dim View of Western PolicyNot that I could ever feel sorry for the "palestinians", I can't. But there is a big question as to how many of Israel's problems in life are of their own making "I’ve kept an eye on this Israel situation for the past few days. Here’s what I’ve learned, & here are my blunt & honest thoughts: 1. Israel chose to ignore intelligence from Egyptian officials about a major attack coming from Hamas. 2. Multiple former IDF soldiers & Israeli intelligence personnel have come forward online and said there’s a zero percent chance Israel was...

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza overnight were said to hit the home of relatives of Mohammad Deif, the Hamas military commander, in a the Qizan an Najjar neighborhood in Khan Younis. Citing Palestinian reports, a number of Hebrew media say Israeli jets struck the home of Deif’s father, killing the terrorist’s brother, his son, and the brother’s granddaughter.

Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan discussed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in a phone call on Tuesday, with the Kremlin saying the focus was on an immediate ceasefire and a resumption of talks. -snip- A Kremlin statement deplored the "catastrophic rise in the deaths among civilians". It said the conflict could only be resolved on the basis of a "two-state" plan, with the creation of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The White House forcefully condemned members of the far-left House group known as the “Squad” for remarks blaming Israel for the Hamas terror attacks that have killed more than 1,000, including 14 Americans.“We believe they are wrong,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Tuesday. “We believe they are repugnant and we believe they are disgraceful. Our condemnation belongs squarely with terrorists who have brutally murdered, raped and kidnapped hundreds ... There can be no equivocation about that.“There are not two sides here,” she said.

The current trend of “empowerment” is on a recognizable trajectory, but the New Left doesn’t heed the canary in the coalmine. The New Left in today’s America has incorporated into its ideology the thesis of Critical Race Theory, which is an offspring of Critical Theory, which is an offspring of Marxism. As such, it borrows heavily from Marx’s ideas and applies them, often creatively so, to the American society. One of the main ideas of Marx was a reversal of the power structure to impose a dictatorship of the proletariat (the noun proletariat was used to denote the laborer class,...

New Jersey Republicans are practically giddy at a prospect that had been virtually unthinkable until now: Could they retake control of one or both houses of the state Legislature? It’s a longshot scenario in a state where Democrats have a nearly one million voter registration advantage and have controlled the Statehouse for two decades. But, buoyed by Republicans’ surprising gains in the 2021 election — and the sudden fallout of Sen. Bob Menendez's indictment — GOP leaders see a narrow path to scoring key upsets that could put them on top in Trenton. “It feels really different. We haven’t seen...

Year: A(I).First readingJonah 4:1-11 ©Jonah is angry at God's mercyJonah was very indignant; he fell into a rage. He prayed to the Lord and said, ‘Ah, Lord, is not this just as I said would happen when I was still at home?

One of the evils of the Trump era was that illegal, immoral, and at times unconstitutional acts were raised to high standards if they seemed to chip away at Trump somehow. So a fake dossier, which consumed several years and millions of dollars of American life, was brushed off with a fine from the elections commission rather than someone going to jail for lying to the FBI. So it is now up to General Mark Milley, the Left's newest and bestest friend in violating the Constitution, to save the Constitution from Trump. A slithering little piece of hagiography in the...

We lack water, electricity, fuel, and our besieged services are staggering under the massive numbers of injured. No one is safe ... The bombardment of Gaza is now constant. My nine-year-old asked me if he would go to heaven or hell Mahmoud Shalabi We lack water, electricity, fuel, and our besieged services are staggering under the massive numbers of injured.

"And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

The reflexive identification with Israel, by both US media professionals and politicians, always obscures the fuller picture of what’s happening between Israel and the Palestinians. On 7October, the National SecurityCouncil spokesperson Adrienne Watson stated that the US “unequivocally condemns the unprovoked attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians”. Every one of us must stand up and denounce the killing of every civilian, Israeli or Palestinian or otherwise. But Watson’s use of the word “unprovoked” is doing a lot of work here.... What exactly counts as a provocation? Not, apparently, the large number of settlers, more than 800 by one media...

by Chris Black This is not surprising at all. The question is, how much the American people can take from this establishment? You cannot have a country without a border. People should learn from Israel. https://twitter.com/KariLake/status/1711481150043279382 New York Post: The Biden administration has let 99% of migrants who have come over the border since 2021 — over two million people — stay in the country according to a new Congressional report released by House Republicans Monday.The report found “at least” 2,148,738 illegal aliens had been released into the United States by the Department of Homeland Security from when Joe Biden...
