When the threat appeared imminent, the FBI had to move in on the only charge that could stick for now: weapons charges. Sohaib Abuayyash, 20, was planning a massive terror attack targeting Jewish people in the Houston area. He had visited multiple gun ranges in the area and was trying to obtain instructions for bomb-making. How Abuayyash was able to get firearms is a detail that will be revealed in time, but yes—he shouldn’t have been able to purchase or possess any firearm on a non-immigrant visa. That paperwork expired in 2019, but he’s been allowed to remain on American...

Misinformation is a key global threat, but Democrats and Republicans disagree about how to address the problem. In particular, Democrats and Republicans diverge sharply on removing misinformation from social media.Only three weeks after the Biden administration announced the Disinformation Governance Board in April 2022, the effort to develop best practices for countering disinformation was halted because of Republican concerns about its mission. Why do Democrats and Republicans have such different attitudes about content moderation?My colleagues Jennifer Pan and Margaret E. Roberts and I found in a study published in the journal Science Advances that Democrats and Republicans not only disagree...

AMMAN, Nov 3 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will hear demands for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza when he meets Middle East foreign ministers in Jordan on Saturday, Jordan's foreign ministry said. Saudi, Qatari, Emirati, Egyptian and Jordanian foreign ministers as well as Palestinian representatives will stress the "Arab stance calling for an immediate ceasefire, delivering humanitarian aid and ways of ending the dangerous deterioration that threatens the security of the region", the ministry said in a statement on Friday.

... China’s stance on Middle East issues remains at the level of atmospherics. Beijing scores points in the Global South at minimal cost. But China’s role could become far more important. As Zhang, the professor quoted above, observes, China could play a pivotal role in the refugee crisis. One specific refugee crisis that China might help resolve is Gaza. The obvious solution to the Gaza problem was proposed to Egypt’s late President Sadat by Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin in 1978: Egypt should annex Gaza, and resolve the refugee crisis by naturalizing the Gazans. Sadat refused, and Western diplomats have...

Moms for Liberty has, in recent years, been a major player in America’s culture wars. The group has been behind the drastic increase in book ban attempts across the country, influenced local leaders to implement anti-LGBTQ+ policies, and railed against educators and others in communities, smearing them as child abusers. In 2023, Moms for Liberty held its annual convention in Pennsylvania, sparking widespread protests. Now it has set its sights on the state’s many school boards. There are 500 different districts spread over Pennsylvania’s 67 counties, and ahead of next week’s elections in the state, HuffPost found that Moms for...

A plan sought by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would see illegal aliens released into the United States and only required to “check-in” with federal officials annually, Breitbart News has exclusively learned. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official Claire Trickler-McNulty gave a presentation to the House Homeland Security Committee in September regarding details of the administration’s proposed “Release and Reporting Management” (RRM) program. RRM would replace existing DHS programs to more quickly get illegal aliens into the U.S. interior after they have arrived at the southern border — turning the nation’s borders into a European-style checkpoint. Tickler-McNulty’s...

One legend about Archimedes, a famous Greek mathematician and physicist, states that he was killed during Syracuse’s siege in 212 B.C. According to the most common narrative, he was sketching geometric figures when a bounty-seeking Roman soldier burst into his study. “Do not disturb my circles,” said Archimedes, but the simpleton Roman legionnaire, who knew nothing about mathematics, struck him with a sword. History has repeatedly evidenced over the last two millennia that ignoramuses often change history. Geniuses who fall victim to uncivilized invaders, uncultured neighbors, or moronic rulers are well known. Postmortems cannot alleviate the loss of a great...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemActs 10Cornelius Calls for Peter 10 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3 One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, “Cornelius!” 4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. “What is it, Lord?” he asked. The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the...

God describes himself this way: “I taught Ephraim [Israel] to walk, taking them by their arms; but they did not know that I healed them” (Hosea 11:3, NKJV). In the original language, this verse reads more like “I came to them in their despair and tenderly nursed them through foul, rugged places. I held them in my arms as a nurse.” However, Hosea 11:7 says, “My people are bent on backsliding from me.” The word ‘bent’ here means “hanging in suspense, hanging in doubt.” Israel was not sure of the Lord’s love and tenderness, and God was saying to Hosea,...

"By [faith] the men of old gained approval" (Heb. 11:2). God makes His approval known to those who trust in Him. The book Catch-22 tells of a squadron of World War II fliers stationed on the fictitious island of Pianos in the Mediterranean. Before a flier could transfer off the island, he had to complete 25 extremely dangerous missions over southern Europe. One flier, Yosarian, was especially anxious to leave. After completing his twenty-fifth mission, his commanding officer began raising the number of qualifying missions. Insanity became the only justification for a transfer. But the commander decided that whomever feigned...

A maintenance man was shot during an attempted robbery and fought back against the gunman, resulting in the suspect being shot with his own gun, in Waukegan Tuesday. The Waukegan Police Department and Waukegan Fire Department responded around 10:45 a.m. Tuesday to Beechwood at the Preserve Apartments in the 3000 block of 8th Street for a report of a shooting. Officers arrived and learned two people had sustained gunshot wounds. A 17-year-old boy was found in an apartment with a gunshot wound to his thigh, according to a police report. An officer applied a tourniquet to the boy’s leg before...

New York school children have complained they are being forced to walk past 'Venezuelan prostitutes' in broad daylight, with their neighborhood likened to a Bangkok 'red-light district'. High schoolers told how they encounter sex workers 'virtually on every block' of the route along the Jackson Heights-Corona border. Jalene Lugo, 14, said she passed several provocatively dressed women in a doorway on 93rd Street earlier this week and not for the first time.

Many Americans have been led to believe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a conflict over land when it is a religious conflict rooted in Quranic doctrine; a doctrine consumed with Jew hatred throughout its numerous passages. The formation of Islam began with Mohammad in 610 A.D. in the city of Mecca where he attempted to convince the local pagan population he was sent by God to be his messenger. SNIP Mohammed’s attempts to mollify the Medina Jews resulted in a series of conciliatory passages that contradict the vast majority of Quranic references to Jews: “O children of Israel! call to mind...

Police officers across the UK are bracing for a pro-Palestine 'Day of Action' today with 40 marches planned across the country in the wake of a banned protest at King's Cross last night which saw five people arrested. Last week more than 100,000 people showed up to march in London, and a police officer was rushed to hospital after one attendee hit them across the head with a megaphone. Tens of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets in major cities again today, and the Met Police have put in place measures to prevent demonstrators gathering outside...

@DVATW Mark Steyn has been a brave and courageous voice for many years. He has suffered several cardiac incidents since taking the jabs and appears to be white in the hair and confined to a wheelchair. This is very sad to see and I hope he can recover.

During World War II, energy and mineral production was critical to the war effort and Australia was able to produce it. Now that Australia is going green, will that vital resource still be available? As net zero strangles Australian industry, Australia is becoming green, powerless, and defenseless. History holds lessons which we ignore at our peril. Here is some of it. Japan was opened to trade with the U.S. in the 1850s. The Japanese were daunted by the naval power of Britain and the U.S. but determined to catch up. In the 1930s, Japan attacked China, Mussolini attacked Ethiopia, and...

Rishi Sunak has warned that the Cenotaph and other memorials are at risk of being "desecrated".Police are expected to launch a large-scale operation to crack down on protests surrounding Remembrance Sunday. Rishi Sunak has warned that the Cenotaph, along with other war memorials, could be "desecrated" if protests are able to go ahead unchecked. Tens of thousands of demonstrators are planning to take to the streets to call for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East on Armistice Day on Saturday, November 11, as well as Remembrance Sunday on November 12. Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mr Sunak...
