‘I’ve been a left-winger all my life. I don’t believe in violence. I always wanted co-existence,’ says the British-Israeli artist. ‘Even in our darkest hours, I told my children that in Gaza there were mothers like me, and children like them, and they are not the devil. Now I realise how naive I was. ‘There is still a part of me that wants peace, of course I do. But these monsters – Hamas – have to be defeated. And the world has to help us. ‘What they did happened once. It happened to us. But it could happen to you,...

Democrats would reportedly advise President Joe Biden to “heave” so-called “Bidenomics” into the “dumpster” after polling shows just 14 percent of voters say Biden has made them better off. The reported unsolicited advice signals infighting among Democrats and the president’s uphill battle to convince voters he deserves reelection. “Perhaps the most overwhelming economic messaging advice I picked up from Democrats was for him to heave ‘Bidenomics’ into the dumpster, “Politico’s Jonathan Martin wrote Monday after interviewing dozens of Democrats and never-Trump Republicans. The White House defines Bidenomcs with three pillars intended to cure “longstanding challenges that held America back—including rising...

The Las Vegas Aces, champions of the WNBA, have been offered $1million if they can beat a high school boy’s state champion team. The Las Vegas Aces won back-to-back titles in October and have now been challenged to basketball's version of ‘Battle of the Sexes’ by the host of the “OutKick the Show” podcast, Clay Travis. He took to social media platform X to write that BetOnline.ag would give coach Becky Hammon’s team the prize money if they were to win the game. "Gambling company @betonline_ag has offered $1 million to the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces if they can beat...

A volcano could erupt within days in Iceland, prompting officials to declare a state of emergency and evacuate thousands of people from the seaside town of Grindavík.

The non-binary and transgender extravaganza on display this Thanksgiving will be brought to you by Macy’s during their annually sponsored Thanksgiving Day Parade. Unless they are forewarned about it, this year’s holiday parade will potentially expose tens of millions of viewers at home to the liberal LGBTQ agenda. Performances showcased in the parade will include music from two Broadway musicals, & Juliet and Shucked, both of which feature transgender and non-binary performers in major roles. Justin David Sullivan, who personally identifies as non-binary, will be featured in the & Juliet parade performance. On stage in the musical, Sullivan plays the...

The buyout amount is the largest in college sports history. Texas A&M University fired head football coach Jimbo Fisher on Sunday, committing itself to spend more than $75 million to buy out his contract and announcing a national search for his replacement.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Monday on his show “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump was using rhetoric that was the same as “Mussolini and other fascists from the past.” During a weekend rally, Trump said, “In honor of our great Veterans on Veterans Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the communists, marxists, fascists, and radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country. That lie, steal, and cheat on elections.” Scarborough said, “I think he should probably give some pay some royalties to Mussolini’s family trust because when he starts...

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today that no decision has been made regarding the possible candidacy of Russian President Vladimir Putin for the presidential elections next year. -snip- “It is quite clear that this topic is now increasingly attracting the attention of political experts, but so far no decision has been made in this regard. It is understandable that the time of announcing the election is approaching, but for now there are no decisions in this regard. You will be informed as soon as they are,” said Peskov. Presidential elections in Russia should be held in March next year.

MIT has just said that it will not give academic suspensions to students who physically prevented Jewish students from entering the campus. As far as I'm concerned, MIT is now run by Nazis.

Nearly 17,000 people have signed an online petition decrying a 'non-binary and transgender extravaganza' at the upcoming Thanksgiving Day Parade, over two gender non-conforming performers in the line-up. A petition organized by One Million Moms, part of the conservative American Family Association, says the event will expose 'tens of millions of viewers at home to the liberal LGBTQ agenda.' The sponsor of the event, the department store Macy's, did not answer DailyMail.com requests for comment. Tie-ups between trans performers and corporations have proven divisive in recent months. Bud Light's partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney led to a backlash and...

On Thursday, two major GOP donors saw the writing on the wall and decided to back the leading Republican presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump for the nomination as his lead in the polls continues to cement both nationally and in the early primary states. One of the donors, Robert Bigelow, who decided to back Trump, actually abandoned DeSantis to do so given that DeSantis has failed to create enough momentum nationally and, despite his best efforts, has been unable to significantly dent Trump's lead in Iowa.Bigelow, who is the founder of Budget Suites of America and Bigelow Aerospace,...

@historyinmemes Ronald Reagan was giving a speech in West Berlin when a balloon popped very loudly. He was completely unfazed. This occurred in 1987, which was 6 years after John Hinckley Jr. tried to assassinate the President.

More recently, the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war have demonstrated the effectiveness of UASs. In those conflicts, unmanned systems have been used at a scale and sophistication far beyond those of any previous conventional war. UASs and loitering munitions (LMs) proved crucial to Azerbaijan’s victory. Ukraine’s Turkish-built Bayraktar drones grabbed headlines early in the 2022 invasion when they destroyed Russian vehicles with precision munitions.2 Russian Lancet-3 LMs have likewise been documented destroying high-value Ukrainian targets such as surface-to-air missile systems and howitzers.3In addition to purpose-built systems, Ukrainian volunteer groups have used commercially purchased and custom-built unmanned aerial...

Pro-lifers must work diligently to shift public opinion against abortion, but they neglect the current political reality at their peril.With Tuesday’s relatively easy passage of an Ohio constitutional amendment that effectively bars that state’s legislature from regulating abortion in the state, abortion advocates are now convinced that they not only have the public on their side but have found political gold. They now view abortion as such a winning issue that they think it can pave the way to enacting a wide range of other leftist goals. They are largely mistaken, as abortion mercifully remains a highly contentious issue in...

@VigilantNews Dr. McCullough: "The COVID Shots Were a Disaster" "People quietly know these shots didn't work," remarked Dr. @P_McCulloughMD They're also "unsafe," he attested. "Athletes take these shots, they have cardiac arrest. We know myocarditis causes cardiac arrest. That's proven. So these kids getting myocarditis with the shots and they continue to exercise, they're going to have cardiac arrest." As such, trust in vaccines has hit rock bottom. The BMJ issued an "emergency" communication because more and more people are walking away from the vaccine schedule altogether.

An Iranian-born Pentagon aide, who was revealed earlier this year to be part of a years-long, Tehran-backed influence operation, also sought to undermine the leading resistance group to the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a new report delivered to President Biden. Ariane Tabatabai has retained her security clearance and position as chief of staff to the Pentagon’s assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict — despite a bombshell Semafor report in September detailing her ties to senior Iranian Foreign Ministry officials. But Tabatabai and founding members of the influence operation, known as the Iran Experts Initiative, were...

The 2023 election cycle wasn’t pretty for Virginia Republicans. Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s attempt to control both chambers of the state legislature in Richmond went up in smoke when Democrats retained control of the state Senate and retook control of the House of Delegates. Was it an "earthquake?" No, Democrats have a slim majority in a lower chamber. Overall, Virginia returned to its 2021 political landscape. Or did it? Republicans likely gain one senate seat and lose a few house seats in Virginia, a state Biden won by 10 points, and Twitter is treating it like a political earthquake. https://t.co/x7OjtJWqFO— John...

For those who like their turkey on the table and on the tube, Mystery Science Theater 3000 has your Thanksgiving viewing figured out. The series all about riffing on cheesy movies will launch its first “Mega Turkey Day Marathon Telethon,” this year, and the event doubles as a booster for a crowdfunding effort—something it’s had great success with in the past—for MST3K season 14. Turkey jokes aside, Thanksgiving holds a special place in the heart of MST3K fans since the show actually premiered on Thanksgiving 1988 and has held (non-telethon) Thanksgiving marathons in the past. For 2023, there will be...

A very worth while watch of 37:21 minutes of the dynamics that have played out in the Middle East since the 1880s on until the beginnings of ISIS.

Secret Service agents tasked with protecting President Joe Biden's granddaughter Naomi Biden opened fire after three people attempted to break into an unmarked agency vehicle in Washington, D.C. The agents saw three people breaking a window of the parked and unoccupied Secret Service vehicle while out with Naomi Biden in the Georgetown neighborhood on Sunday night. One of the agents opened fire using a service weapon, and it is believed that no one was struck by gunfire, the Secret Service said in a statement.
