Over 100 Democrats are urging President Biden to allow every Palestinian in Gaza to come to the United States. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill) pointed out that "Scotland has offered to take in a million refugees from Gaza. If we were to do the same there would be no more innocent civilians in the war zone. Hamas would lose almost all of their human shields. We would gain hundreds of thousands of new Democrat voters. It would be a win-win solution to the conflict." Unsurprisingly, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also offered "to take in as many Gazans as...

They aren’t dysphoric. They’re just girls.These days, when she gets ready for school, the hair will be done. Perhaps it will be a braid of some sort, perhaps it will be curled. Earrings will be selected. A light and subtle application of age-appropriate makeup usually follows. The only constant is that she will always put on a skirt.It didn’t used to be this way. When younger, she was quite the tomboy. There were the fights over getting her hair cut short, fights she lost not because we’re that controlling, but because short hair has to be cut more frequently and...

For those worried that abortion extremism is coming to their states, heed these lessons from Ohio. On Nov. 7 in Ohio, the passage of Issue 1 dealt the pro-life movement another stunning defeat in a long string of statewide losses since Roe v. Wade was overturned.It would be too easy for politicians and pundits on the left, and even some on the right, to jump on the “Being pro-life is political suicide” bandwagon and integrate that notion immediately into a long-term strategy to shape our American political life. We have already seen this in the days following Nov. 7.But...

Video, which you can watch below, shows police aggressively removing pro-Palestinian demonstrators from the front of the building. A number of people were arrested.

Over the past 24 hours, thousands of TikToks (at least) have been posted where people share how they just read Bin Laden’s infamous "Letter to America," in which he explained why he attacked the United States. The TikToks are from people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Many of them say that reading the letter has opened their eyes, and they’ll never see geopolitical matters the same way again. Many of them — and I have watched a lot — say it has made them reevaluate their perspective on how what is often labeled as terrorism can be a...

Some of us — weren't even half-joking when we said that if 9/11/2001 had been 9/11/2023, thousands or millions of Americans would take to the streets in support of al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. ... Shortly after the 9/11 attacks that left nearly 3,000 dead and permanently altered the New York City skyline, bin Laden wrote his Letter to America, justifying his murderous act of terrorism, in part because of our "support to the oppressive Israelis in their occupation of our Palestine." ... Thousands of young Americans took to TikTok to express how bin Laden's words have opened their...

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray told Congressional lawmakers on Wednesday evening that federal law enforcement officials have opened various investigations into individuals “affiliated” with Hamas in the wake of the Palestinian terror organization’s unprecedented attack on Israel last month. However, Wray noted that the bureau has not seen evidence of any specific threat it considers credible. Wray, speaking before the House Homeland Security Committee, said the FBI is focused on “homegrown violent extremists” that are sympathetic to terror organizations akin to Hamas, along with “domestic violent extremists targeting Jewish Americans or other faith communities.”

Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis rubbed salt on the wound Wednesday by trolling his opponent, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, over her heavily scrutinized vow to require all social media users be verified. DeSantis' campaign announced new merchandise mocking Haley's comments, including a t-shirt with the phrase, "Always Watching," and a quote from Haley saying that "every person on social media should be verified by their name." Another item is a dystopian-themed "Official Internet Identification Card"

VIDEORay Epps provided advice to the insurrectionists attacking the Capitol Police at the DNC headquarters. Oh, and of course we should how expect the FBI to use cell phone geolocation to track down each and every insurrectionist? This technology has a perfect track record except for locating the pipe bomber, who also planted a (fake) bomb on the night of January 5, 2021 ironically also at the DNC headquarters as well at the RNC building, because the cell data was "corrupted." The one and ONLY time that glitch ever happened.

The truth quotient here approximates 100 percent. “We stand here united and proud as Americans who are going to fight back against terror, who will fight back against antisemitism everywhere, in our streets and in our universities!” [Click...
