Great take on the Alphaville classic. From my broadcast playlist.

I would like to know HOW an article of a journalist could write a report of 1,000 words, and never get to the question we all ask. DID THIS WOMAN GET THE VACCINE. It is the FIRST thing that comes to mind when we see these stories, and they keep avoiding the obvious.

One of the many satanic paradoxes of the Third Reich’s architecture of the Final Solution was the requirement—mandated after the 1939 outbreak of the war—that Jews anywhere under German rule or occupation had to wear a yellow badge or armband with the Star or David. Yet was not all this elaborate bureaucratic need for identification embarrassing to the Nazi apparat? After all, if Nazi doctrine about supposedly manifest Aryan “racial” superiority—Nordic looks and build, superior intelligence, stable disposition—were so persuasive, then why the need for Jews to identify themselves? In contrast, the Star-of David IDs were prima facie proof that...

Originally released in the early 1980s, this Canadian classic has been updated to merit club play this century. To be added to my broadcast playlist.

WASHINGTON (TND) — Now is a good time to check that $2 bill stuffed away in a drawer or old wallet. The unique currency has been in circulation since the 1860s but some people are finding them to be upwards of $4,500, according to U.S. Currency Auctions. Several editions of the bill have been in circulation with the most recent being designed in 1963, the U.S. Treasury Department notes. Some feature Thomas Jefferson's face, Alexander Hamilton or America's first secretary of the treasury. A bill's worth depends on several factors including if it was in circulation. Uncirculated bills with red...

On October 25, 2023, U.N. secretary general António Guterres said at a U.N. Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas war that he condemns unequivocally the horrifying and unprecedented 7 October acts of terror by Hamas in Israel. He continued:Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, injuring and kidnapping of civilians — or the launching of rockets against civilian targets.He then justified the attacks:It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued...

Federal prosecutors are planning to make the “client list” of a high-profile trafficking ring public following a major bust this week. As Slay News reported earlier this week, pharmaceutical executives, professors, doctors, and government officials were busted by authorities during an operation targetting a high-profile sex trafficking ring.

America's trucking industry is in a dire state, which is bad news for the American economy because it serves as an indicator of the mood of consumers and their pocketbooks heading into the holiday season, one expert warned.

A Texas community leader and ally to prominent Democrats has a history of making anti-Israel comments and associates with Hamas-linked groups, according to an investigation by The Dallas Express. Dr. Omar Suleiman is an Ethics Advisory Board member at Southern Methodist University (SMU) who called Israel a “terrorist regime,” said Palestinians experience what it is like to “live under Nazis,” warned “the beginning of the end of Zionism is here,” and said Palestinian activists must use “any means necessary” to “demand their freedom.” Suleiman made these remarks as an influential imam with nearly 6 million combined followers on Facebook, Instagram,...

I like MMA, having trained in it (in a mostly risk-free, exercise way) for many years. I also really like MMA fighters, who have proven to be people who are brave, not only in the ring but also outside of the ring, when it comes to standing against woke leftism. The most recent example is Joel “King Bau” Bauman, who walked into the fight arena wearing a shirt that asks just the right question about Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book. As we all know, Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t the only one playing around on Pedo Island. Instead, he had a long...

Hamas atrocities came after Israel was actually extending a hand to Gaza, thousands came daily to work in Israel, we were giving Gazans the best medical treatment. But at the same time, Hamas were planning this attack.- Halevy on CNN with Amanpour, Oct 9, 2023

The effects of serving in a war zone can linger with veterans long after they end their tour of duty and an emerging health concern is exposure to toxic burn pits. Retired Master Corporal Arjan Grewal, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, told The West Block host Mercedes Stephenson that burn pits were a common part of life on bases during his six tours of duty. “It’s a large bonfire, if you will, that is in the middle of a military base or a forward operating base. And it’s used to incinerate everything, and I mean everything; helicopter carcasses,...
