Peruse campus literature. Watch clips from university protests. Scan interviews with pro-Hamas protestors. Read the chalk propaganda sketched on campus sidewalks. Talk to raging students in the free speech area. And the one common denominator— besides their arrogance—is their abject ignorance. Take their following tired talking points: “Refugees” We are told that the Palestinians after more than 75 years of residence in the West Bank and Gaza are “refugees.” If that definition were currently true, then, are the 900,000 Jews who were forcibly exiled from Muslim countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia after the 1947, 1956, 1967...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemActs 10Peter at Cornelius’s House The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers from Joppa went along. 24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26 But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.” 27 While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. 28 He said to...

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer teased Sunday “around two dozen subpoenas” to continue the committee’s investigation into the Biden family business enterprise. Comer was interviewed on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo and hinted at the Oversight Committee’s next course of action against the Biden family. “We’re waiting on a few more documents to come in that we’ve successfully subpoenaed but it’s taking forever. And again Maria, I don’t think the average person can imagine how many different checking accounts the president’s son had. And considering he didn’t have a legitimate business, that in itself is an...

As the war in the Middle East between the State of Israel and Hamas terrorists enters its second month, the American people are finding out what former Defense Secretary Robert Gates meant when he said that President Joe Biden has "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." Make no mistake, when it comes to foreign policy Joe Biden is an embarrassing train wreck, so Americans must be prepared for a season of predictable strategic blunders and bad calls coming from his White House. Biden’s poor standing in the polls heading...

Jerusalem — Despite mounting pressure, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has flatly rejected calls for a cease-fire in his country's war with Hamas, refusing to accept even a vaguely defined humanitarian "pause" in the fighting, which the U.S. has called for, unless and until Hamas frees the more than 240 hostages it's said to be holding in the Gaza Strip. The relentless airstrikes Israel launched immediately after Hamas' unprecedented terror attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7 have only intensified since Israeli ground forces pushed into the densely populated Palestinian territory. Israel was shocked by the scope of the attack,...

Year: A(I).First readingRomans 11:29-36 ©God never takes back his giftsGod never takes back his gifts or revokes his choice. Just as you changed from being disobedient to God, and now enjoy mercy because of their disobedience, so those who are disobedient now – and only because of the mercy shown to you – will also enjoy mercy eventually. God has imprisoned all men in their own disobedience only to show mercy to all mankind. How rich are the depths of...

This is an essay about surviving. We should be living our lives today with an expectation that something bad will soon happen. That feeling should not dominate our existence or preclude us from pursuing rich and joyful lives, but it should keep us mentally vigilant and physically prepared before disaster strikes. In this Obama-Biden America of open borders, out-of-control violent crime, economic fragility, and international provocations, it is only a matter of time before conflicts abroad become conflicts at home. It is vitally important to keep your head on a swivel. The October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israeli civilians...

Commentators often draw parallels between Taiwan and Ukraine, as both countries are western-aligned democracies facing asymmetrical threats from hostile (and nuclear-armed) superpowers. Just as Russia believes that it is entitled to Ukrainian land, so, too, does China believe that it has the right to annex Taiwan. Russia expected to easily subjugate Ukraine, but failed to do so... this outcome is far better than most had expected at the beginning of the invasion — which has inspired the Taiwanese. “We learned that it’s not impossible to defend our country when facing one of the largest military forces in the world,” said...

In 2018, Joseph Srour applied for a license to possess rifles and shotguns at his home in New York City. He was denied. In 2019, he applied for a license to possess handguns in his home. He was denied. The denials involved the application of the issuing authorities’ subjective judgment on Srour’s moral character and the subjective judgment of the issuing authorities’ determination of “good cause.” Joseph Srour appealed the decision. After the Bruen decision by the Supreme Court, he amended his appeal to a direct (facial) challenge of the constitutionality of New York City law. The Case is known...

A while back I wrote these words: “The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania certified its 2020 election despite the undisputed fact that it had recorded 202,000 more ballots cast than voters.” Recently, that statement was challenged by someone who made this comment: “Says who?” The comment is snarky but fair. My declaration warrants an in-depth explanation, so here it is. The AnalysisPennsylvania has a unique voter registration system, called SURE. Like every other voter registration system, the SURE system comprises all legally registered voters in the state. However, it also includes a subcategory of registered voters: the ones who actually voted in...

Israel's Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said on Sunday that dropping a nuclear weapon on the Gaza Strip is "an option." Speaking in a radio interview, the far-right minister maintained that "there are no non-combatants in Gaza," adding that providing humanitarian aid to the Strip would constitute "a failure." Eliyahu was then asked if – since there are no non-combatants in his view – a nuclear attack on the Gaza Strip is an option. "That's one way," he responded. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by saying that Eliyahu's comments are "divorced from reality" and that Israel and the...

Turkish police used tear gas and water cannon as hundreds of people at a pro-Palestinian rally on Sunday tried to storm an air base that houses U.S. troops, hours before U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was due in Ankara for talks on Gaza. Turkey, which has stepped up its criticism of Israel as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza has worsened, supports a two-state solution while hosting members of the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Since the Israel-Hamas war started, protests have erupted across the country. Earlier this week, the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, an Islamist Turkish aid agency, organised a...

The political strategist who propelled Joe Biden into the vice presidency in 2008 has suggested the president should consider exiting the 2024 race after another brutal poll. David Axelrod pointed to Sunday polling from The New York Times and Siena College that shows the 80-year-old trialing behind Donald Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania. 'Only Joe Biden can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party,' Axelrod said on X, formerly Twitter. 'What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it's in HIS best interest or...
