At least a dozen business executives have endorsed Bill Ackman’s call to deny hiring members of student groups at Harvard who signed on to a letter blaming Israel for Hamas’ deadly attack on Saturday that killed more than 1,200 people, including at least 22 Americans. Jonathan Newman, the CEO of salad chain Sweetgreen, was among a group of business honchos who seconded Ackman in urging that the signatories of the letter circulated by the a coalition of 34 Harvard student groups who “hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.” “I would like to know so I know...

Benny Hinn, the arch-heretic who supposedly repented’ years ago of engaging in money-grubbing machinations, was up to his old tricks a mere three days ago, cajoling a conference crowd with some of the most blatant and dishonest manipulations we’ve ever seen. We last wrote about this Dr. Michael Brown-endorsed, prosperity-gospel heretic after he offered invitations to his birthday party for $5000 a person, released a ‘major prophecy’ two weeks before Hama’s attack on Israel where claimed God told that Israel would soon make peace with Saudi Arabia and then Palestine, and after Francis Chan repeatedly claim that Hinn really loves...

The House GOP’s long and embarrassing nightmare is over. Or has it just taken a pause? After more than a week of leadership battles and a moribund House, the Republican caucus nominated Steve Scalise as the next Speaker of the House.

Darrell Issa, although it is not yet official. The split raises the...

Influential Democratic senators have publicly pressed the Biden Administration to try to find a way to freeze $6 billion in Iranian funds over Tehran's support for Hamas. The pressure from within the president's own party comes as the White House says there is no confirmation of Iran's support for the gruesome Hamas attack – even while acknowledging Iran's longstanding support for the group. Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), a Democratic centrist who is up for reelection in 2024, is among those calling for the funds to be refrozen. 'As American intelligence officials continue to investigate the terrorist attacks carried out by...

DSA is facing a major inflection point — and identity crisis — over Israel NEW YORK — The Democratic Socialists of America is coming apart at the seams. Rep. Jamaal Bowman let his membership lapse. Colleague Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ripped the New York chapter over a pro-Palestinian rally Sunday. And others on the left are struggling to reconcile their views with the group — even disavowing it amid criticism from across the political spectrum. The reckoning for the DSA in the wake of Hamas’ attacks on Israel could mark a realignment at the extreme end of the Democratic Party. Progressive politicians...

<p>Earlier this week a collection of 30-some progressive groups at Harvard signed a letter saying Israel was “entirely responsible” for Hamas’ attacks. But there has also been some substantial pushback on those groups since then.</p><p>Some people pointed out the glaring double standard. Harvard is a place where microaggressions are very serious but siding with terrorist murderers, not so much.</p>

The outbreak of war between Israel and the Hamas-run government of the Palestinian enclave in Gaza has pushed "X," the social media platform formerly known as Prince, I mean Twitter, to the forefront of news distribution. Some, however, claim that X is so overrun by misinformation that it is useless. Evidence, however, shows that this critique is driven by a dislike of the changes Elon Musk made to democratize X, laziness on the part of online and traditional media, and the inability of corporate media to control the narrative.“This is the hardest time I’ve ever had covering a crisis on...

A top psychiatric doctor accused of operating a ‘system of terror’ in a DailyMail.com investigation into his alleged giant Medicaid scam poses in a jail mugshot following his arrest this week. Dressed in a dark correctional clothing, bearded Brian Hyatt stares resolutely ahead in the photo that shows his height at more than 6ft 6ins. Hulking Hyatt, 51, was held but released within hours amid accusations of keeping patients ‘prisoner’ in a massive Medicaid fraud – as alleged victims are still coming forward, DailyMail.com can reveal. The heavily tattooed doctor was nabbed after leaving his $1.6million country club home in...

The current conflict between the Jewish State and the Muslims of Gaza is in no small part fueled by the tenets of Islam. Islam hates Jews. It hates Christians. It hates Baha’i. It hates … all non-Muslims. Non-Muslim Muslim apologists beware -- you're next, even if you are too stupid and naïve to see it coming. Islam is a cult. : Absolute authoritarianism without accountability. Zero tolerance for criticism or questions. ... A belief that former followers are always wrong for leaving and there is never a legitimate reason for anyone else to leave (apostacy is punishable by death). Followers...

The family of Robert Davis, 19, who is accused of killing local journalist Josh Kruger, said that Davis was just 15 when he and Kruger began a years-long relationship involving drugs — and that Davis told them Kruger was threatening to post sexually explicit videos of him online before, police say, Davis shot Kruger. Those assertions by Davis’ mother and older brother in recent interviews with The Inquirer add troubling new complexities to a killing that has garnered national attention. Their account, they said, is drawn from recent conversations with Davis, and from the years of watching his life unravel...

After news broke Tuesday morning that Israeli soldiers found the bodies of approximately 40 babies, some of whom had been beheaded by Hamas, in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, most people were rightfully horrified. Unfortunately, a not-insignificant number of people on both sides of the political aisle disputed the story, wanting "proof" that it wasn't some psy-op or disinformation being put out by the Israelis. Hamas sympathizers claimed it was made up so Israel could justify bombing Gaza. Some on the far right (I hate even characterizing it that way because they're more brain-dead than "far right") claimed it was a psy-op...

Senior citizens looking to relocate may want to steer clear of Hawaii as it ranks as the most expensive state to retire to, figures show. Retirees in the Aloha state require $121,000 to live comfortably, according to study by GoBankingRates - compared to those in Mississippi who need just $55,000.

Here we go again with the one-sided condemnations of Israel, which was viciously attacked by Hamas on Saturday. The assault claimed the lives of hundreds of Israelis, many of whom were civilians deliberately targeted by the organization’s operatives. After striking back, Israel began facing criticism from the left for defending itself. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) recently issued a statement echoing the same claptrap coming from his contemporaries. In his statement, Sanders criticized Hamas for its murderous rampage through the streets of Israel. “The gunning down of young Israelis at a music festival is an image the world will not soon...

The head of the Russian Republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has expressed support for the Palestinians and called for a ceasefire and offered to send his troops to Palestine as part of a peacekeeping mission. In a statement, Kadyrov appealed to the international community to "make a fair decision regarding Palestine at least once."

US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield says Americans must tell the stories of the victims of Hamas’s onslaught over the weekend. “Hamas terrorists slaughtered more than a thousand innocent civilians, including at least 22 Americans. Reports estimate that more than 100 civilians were taken hostage. But these numbers – as shocking as they are – do not do justice to the depths of horrors, the depravity of the violence. They do not do justice to the victims and their loved ones. Human lives are not just numbers,” Thomas-Greenfield says at a diplomatic community gathering in solidarity with Israel hosted...

Sex workers wearing only G-strings have been pictured prowling the streets of a small California city, leaving one mayor frustrated over the repealing of a law that banned street walking. National City is spiraling out of control, according to Mayor Ron Morrison, due to brazen prostitutes who have been gathering in the downtown area. Prostitution is illegal in the state of California, but Morrison believes that a new law that banned old practices of making loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution illegal is responsible. Another law prohibits police from citing people suspected of soliciting sex based on appearances,...

The current education system is changing and many are of the opinion that it's not for the better. Parents are reconsidering their decision to send their children to school and are opting for homeschooling as a more convenient and quality alternative. A former teacher, who goes by @mindfull.mentor on TikTok, smartly shared a series of videos explaining what children would be missing out on if they were homeschooled. Contrary to the train of thought, the videos call out the exhausting practices and systems schools follow, indicating why homeschooling is the better pick. The former teacher said, “If you decide to...

The controversial editor in chief of Harper’s Bazaar sparked anger in the gilded halls of the Hearst-owned glossy after calling Israel’s move to cut power to Gaza the “most inhuman thing” she’s “ever seen” in her life. Samira Nasr, whose father is Lebanese and whose mother is Trinidadian, wrote on her Instagram Stories Tuesday night: “Cutting off water and electricity to 2.2 million civilians…This is the most inhuman thing I’ve seen in my life.” The post sparked immediate blowback from Hearst staffers and fashion industry insiders still fuming over Hamas terrorists killing more than 1,200 Israelis, many of them children....
