A White House fence was vandalized Saturday night with red paint as pro-Palestinian protesters shook the gate to one entrance to the executive mansion as some chanted "F--k Joe Biden," the New York Post reported. Later in the evening, protesters were seen attempting to climb up the White House's wrought-iron gates

From Our Own Correspondent. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Tuesday, Oct. 27, 1863. In my last letter I alluded to the probability of an offensive movement by the enemy, against the left flank of this army, if he made any movement at all. Information received within the last three days, renders it highly probable that a movement is being made, by a large force of the enemy in the direction of our left, but with the object of moving upon BURNSIDE's right. This force is reported upon good authority to be commanded by LONGSTREET, and to be now concentrating in the vicinity of...

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...

I did some of this research myself. In my lab, we conducted a study with 1,880 subjects. They completed a standard survey to measure their sense of well-being, which captures the feeling of being happy, safe, calm, content, in-control, and grateful. Then, they spent 5 minutes in one of three conditions: reading popular funny tweets, reading Donald Trump's Twitter feed, or reading tweets with cute pictures of dogs. Then, they took the well-being survey again so we could measure the change. All three conditions saw changes in well-being, but dog pictures delivered the biggest positive difference. We found that well-being...

Paraphrasing the video: Switzerland hosts and pushes the global MRNA harmful vaccines.

As the third Republican presidential primary debate in Miami approaches this Wednesday, conservative groups are increasingly sounding the alarm about the long-established anti-conservative biases at the debate’s host network, NBC News—and urging the debate’s moderators, Lester Holt and Kristen Welker, to remember that they are in fact moderators—not participants—in the debate. In late October, Doug Truax, president of Restoration of America, sent a scathing letter to Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel demanding that the RNC “immediately switch gears and retract your offer allowing NBC to moderate the upcoming debate.” He continued: “It is amazing this letter is necessary....

Studies of people who report seeing unidentified flying objects or unidentified aerial phenomena (1) show (thankfully for me) that very few such individuals exhibit psychopathology or are simply trying to grab attention or sell their stories for financial gain. Rather, researchers concluded that the vast majority of those who report seeing extraordinary aerial phenomena truly believe what they saw was real and that, in fact, what they saw was not a hallucination. Quirks of perceptual psychology can explain some of the reporting. ... But, as the recent congressional testimony of military pilots who recorded encounters with UFOs (including range-to-target data)...

Connecticut judge orders new Bridgeport mayoral primary after videos showed possible ballot stuffing A Connecticut judge ordered a new Democratic mayoral primary in Bridgeport as surveillance footage showed multiple workers allegedly stuffing absentee ballots into an outdoor ballot box days before the original primary. In September, Incumbent Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim defeated challenger John Gomes by 251 votes out of 8,173 cast in the primary election, according to NBC. However, Gomes released a video in October that appeared to show two women stuffing heaps of ballot papers into drop boxes at least four locations across the city. Superior Court Judge...

My mother lived and worked in Israel in the 1960’s. She used to tell the story of catching a bus between Israeli cities. Upon hearing that she and her friend were foreigners the bus driver pulled over next to a sand dune and pointed at the dune, “behind this dune is Dimona, where we make the bombs” Probably the most strong confirmation of Israel’s Nuclear weapons program comes from a man called Mordechai Vanunu. An Israeli Nuclear Technician who claims to have worked on nuclear weapons for the Israeli’s. He was kidnapped by Mossad and forcibly returned to Israel where...

1776. A world for thousands of years ruled by kings, emperors, and nobility—the “elite.” Peasants and slaves were nonentities. A world where those “above” you didn’t just have authority over you, they were BETTER than you. The king, the nobility, got their rights from God—"divine right monarchy.” “I'm the king because God made me king. Therefore, I am superior to you, and you must obey me.” That is the world that Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and James Madison were born into. That is the world that they knew and that is the world they rebelled against. Our Founders were overturning...

In the Progressive utopia championed by Woodrow Wilson and his successors, government will iron out the imperfections in human affairs through the use of regulatory agencies run by non-political experts. Such people, being experts and completely non-political, would pose no reason for concern about abuse of power, because of course they would never seek go outside their proper regulatory portfolio to use their authority to stamp out the freedoms and speech of their political opponents on important topics of the day. In the real world government regulators since the creation of their agencies have inevitably used their powers to disadvantage...

November 4, 2023 Dear President Gay, I am writing this letter to you regretfully. Never did I think I would have to write a letter to the president of my alma mater about the impact of her actions and inactions on the health and safety of its student body in order to help catalyze necessary change. For the past four weeks since the horrors of October 7th, I have been in dialogue with members of the corporation board, other alumni, as well as students and faculty sharing and comparing our concerns about the growing number of antisemitic incidents on campus,...

Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that people in Gaza could end Israel's invasion sooner by killing Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar themselves. "The Hamas leadership is responsible. We will get to that leadership," Gallat said in a press conference, per The Times of Israel. "We will get to Yahya Sinwar and eliminate him. If the residents of Gaza get there ahead of us, that will shorten the war." Sinwar, who helped found Hamas' security apparatus, was elected to be the group's leader in the Gaza Strip in 2017. He has been described as a hardliner who rejects any reconciliation with...

Turkey on Saturday became the latest country to pull its ambassador from Israel since the beginning of Israel’s war with Gaza-based militant group Hamas, citing Israel’s refusal to heed calls for a humanitarian pause in the conflict. Turkey recalled ambassador Sakir Ozkan Torunlar, according to a statement from Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday morning, calling out Israel for an “unfolding humanitarian tragedy in Gaza” after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “no longer someone we can talk to,” though Erdogan acknowledged: “complete disconnection is not possible, especially in international diplomacy.”

As Twitchy reported earlier, Hamas Rep. Rashida Tlaib tweeted that the chant, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" wasn't a call for genocide and the elimination of Israel … it was an "aspirational call for … peaceful coexistence." It's remarkable that Hamas has its own representative in Congress and that more of her colleagues aren't calling her out.

The “logic” behind the opinion is so asinine and juvenile that it could only come from judges. Illinois desperately wants to ensure that, within the state’s borders, only criminals have guns. When it comes to law-abiding citizens, the state will do anything to disarm them. That includes passing a law that pretty much bans “assault weapons” (a non-existent category that really covers AR-15s, America’s most popular gun) and large-capacity magazines (which really do exist). A federal district court issued an injunction against that part of the law, but a three-judge panel reversed the injunction on grounds that are so asinine...

I am urging you. I am pleading with you. I am imploring you. Wake up! The irrational hatred of the Jewish people and the demonizing of Israel is reaching proportions so dangerous that if people of conscience do not stand up, speak out, and push back, Jewish blood will start flowing in America, England, and many other countries around the world. Wake up! When Muslims in Sydney Australia are chanting, “Gas the Jews” you know that violence is near.
