For a while now, Bill Maher has been a sane voice of reason on the Left, which is a rarity. Today, he had another well-reasoned discussion about anti-Semitism on the Left, and came to the conclusion it is not a small, fringe number of leftists. Watch: Bill Maher Gets Moment of Clarity: I'm Not So Sure the Anti-Semitic Left-Wing Faction Is 'Small' MAHER: “I just want to finish with the values first, because it just amazing to me that the American left, so much of it, throws their lot in with people whose values I hope they… pic.twitter.com/kHxwWppDm4 — Kyle...

The Democrat-controlled Massachusetts House will take up legislation this week that would require licensed concealed carriers to ask permission before entering someone’s home while armed. The legislation would also expand many of the state’s already stringent gun controls. Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety currently ranks Massachusetts the No. 6 state in the Union for gun control strength.

Bishop: Homosex "Blessing" Signifies "God’s Approval" [of Sin]Homosex activist John Stowe, "bishop" of Lexington, Kentucky, is applauding Francis' statement that priests can "bless" homosex concubinages at their whim.Speaking to Time.com (October 4), he said that homosex "blessings" can be of "great significance" to those who practise homosexuality because such "blessings" are like prayers for God's presence and help and "almost signify God's approval."Stowe openly rejects the biblical condemnation of homosexual sins and regards "sexual orientation [such as paedophilia or necrophilia?]" as "not being something that one freely chooses."The Catholic understanding of free will and responsibility has been rejected by many...

An Iranian official said that the US is already involved in the conflict between Israel and Palestinians and must be held to account. The United States is already heavily involved in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians and must be held to account, an Iranian official said on Monday. The US is bolstering its firepower in the Middle East in response to war between its ally Israel and the Iranian-backed Palestinian terrorists Hamas amid fears of regional spillover. Asked if Tehran would engage if the US weighed in, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said: "Iran considers that the United...

Abstract The Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM) was standardized in Palestine in 2011 on a sample of 257 children aged 6.0 to 11.5 years, tested individually. The sample obtained a British IQ of 85. Introduction We believe that no studies have been published of intelligence in Palestine. There are, however, two studies that may give a reasonable approximate estimate of the Palestine IQ. The first is a study of the intelligence of Arab school children in Israel, who could be expected to have approximately the same IQ as Arab children in Palestine, carried out by Lieblich and Kugelmas (1981). This reported...

There is a widespread belief that if Israel would only give back the territories it seized during the Six Day War in 1967, then peace would come to the Middle East. This is demonstrably false, especially in light of a popular chant heard around the world in recent days.

Former BBC Chief Political Correspondent John Sergeant defended the BBC's decision to not classify Hamas as a terrorist organization. In an interview with GB News, former BBC Chief Political Correspondent John Sergeant defended the BBC’s decision to not label Hamas a terrorist organization and smirked at calls to do so. The interview was carried out in light of growing complaints that the BBC is not providing fair and unbiased reporting on the Israel-Hamas conflict. Sergeant was interviewed in a debate with the National Jewish Assembly Chairman Gary Mond. Is the BBC right to not call a terrorist organization terrorists? The...

Dylan Mulvaney, a young man who has been impersonating a teenage girl for the past two years, was named "Woman of the Year" by Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards (a partnership of Virgin Airlines and Attitude Magazine--a bi-monthly celebrating the gay lifestyle). Editor Matt Cain called Mulvaney "a truly remarkable person who has had a surreally large impact in the advertising world. Her appearance on a can of Bud Light Beer ignited a boycott that knocked the brand off its top spot in the market and cost the company 30% of its market share. No single advocate for temperance has ever...

(LifeSiteNews) — After eight years of nonstop persecution—one groundless impeachment and phony indictment after another—one can understand why President Trump would label the leaders of the Democrat Party a bunch of “Marxist lunatics.” “The Radical Left Democrats … these communists and fascists think that they can control our glorious country,” said Trump recently.Radical Left, Marxists, communists, fascists … is this political hyperbole? Or is it an accurate description of the Nancy Pelosis, the Merrick Garlands and, yes, the Joe Bidens and Barack Obamas who control the Democrat Party and carry out its policies?Few would deny that Marxism, in both its...

As if the news from Israel could not get any more shocking, an Oct. 10 headline announced, “Babies beheaded, 40 children shot dead in a single settlement, and families burnt alive by Hamas.” This is an unfathomable level of evil, a report of barbarism that is almost incomprehensible. Yet in response to such demonic acts, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a televised speech, “We kiss the hands of those who planned the attack on the Zionist regime.”How utterly despicable.The terrorists had blood on their hands. He has blood on his lips. (And, despite his denials of involvement...

The Hebrew Translation for Hamas is ..."violence". See below... It is more than a terror organization. As the Spirit of Anti-Christ It is an organization of pure violence. Rightly so, it has only one purpose, and that is to bring violence to anyone who "goes to a different church" which also means anyone who goes to "no church at all". This places every single person in its cross-hairs who is not a member of, "Hamas". I would imagine pretty much the majority of anyone reading this. I write all of this out of no fear because I can support all...

The group said Beijing and Pyongyang had an agreement....

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then...

For more than 10 years, a Colorado law has been misused to punish me for something I didn’t do. For more than 30 years, my family and I have quietly operated Masterpiece Cakeshop, baking treats and specializing in custom-designed cakes to celebrate special occasions. I welcome everyone into my shop, treat them with respect, and if they ask for a particular kind of custom cake, do my best to create something beautiful and memorable. Like most of us, I too have sincere beliefs that guide and inspire my life, so I can only create custom cakes that will express or...

The goal of programs such as gender studies is not to discover knowledge but to remake the academy and society in its image.I voted to abolish the gender studies program at New College of Florida. Critics of the decision to eliminate gender studies have since labeled it an attack on education itself. But as a matter of academic integrity and intellectual honesty, the board has a firm basis to remove gender studies as an area of concentration at the state’s liberal arts honors college.Science Versus Self-IdentityGender studies is not a science. Pretenses of legitimacy obscure its lack of scientific rigor...

IMAGE CREDIT WIKIPEDIA/2023 ISRAEL–HAMAS WAR One of the most misleading, contextless talking points spread by the pro-Hamas right and left contends that Israel “supported” and “created” the terror organization. It is the political equivalent of condemning someone today for failing to make a citizen’s arrest of O.J. Simpson in 1986.The myth was popularized by former Qatari propagandist, now one of MSNBC’s leading terror apologists, Mehdi Hasan. The insinuation, of course, is that Israel bears moral and historical responsibility for the murder of its own citizens. A lot of these same people, no doubt, blamed Americans for creating al Qaeda and...

I’m not posting this for the content per se’, but rather as an example of how if you listen carefully, you can catch the DeceptiCONs. This is the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Mike McCaul, talking to Maria Bartiromo about the Israeli war.♦ Context matters! Remember, it was just a few days ago when Mike McCaul left a “non-classified” White House briefing by DNI Avril Haines and the State Dept, likely Victoria Nuland, and immediately went to the microphones to push a false story that Egypt had warned the Israelis in advance of the Hamas attack {GO DEEP}....
