When the dangerous and fanatic leaders of Iran called the state of Israel the “Little Satan” and the USA the “Big Satan,” they were planning for the destruction of both.When Muammar Ghaddafi decided not to build nuclear weapons, he envisioned that he would be able to control Europe by having his loyal males marry the women of Europe, and dominate the continent in 30 years!When many radical Muslim spiritual leaders across the globe, preach for world domination of Islam and the destruction of all Infidels, they mean every word that they utter. Unfortunately, their followers take these words as a...

A TikTok influencer is advising illegal immigrants on how to 'invade' American homes and invoke squatter's rights, making it difficult for them to be removed from properties. Leonel Moreno, who goes by @leitooficial_25 online and appears to be a Venezuelan migrant, has told undocumented immigrants that under US law, 'if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it'. He is referring to squatter's rights, or adverse possession laws - a common law principle that allows an illegal inhabitant to acquire ownership of a property based on continuous occupation without the legal owner's consent. Moreno, alleging he has friends who...

A TikTok influencer is advising illegal immigrants on how to 'invade' American homes and invoke squatter's rights, making it difficult for them to be removed from properties. Moreno, alleging he has friends who 'have already taken about seven homes', argued the only way for migrants to not live in the streets or be a 'public burden' is to 'seize' and 'invade' abandoned properties.

If you thought that NATO troop activities in Ukraine is something that developed in the aftermath of the 2014 Maidan coup, think again. NATO has been mucking around in Ukraine since 1991. That 33 years for the math challenged out there. Before I dig into this topic, I participated in a Zoom Webinar put on by the European Association for the Defense of Minorities, which was held in Athens, Greece. The topic — Ukraine: The Search of a Peaceful Solution of the Military Conflict. I recorded a video that replicates my remarks to that group. I don’t know if they...

Have You No Decency, Holy Father?Ideology is not the same thing as religion. Most religions, even though often wrong about many things, seek to better the person practicing it; they have similar moral codes, which typically include kindness to those less fortunate and decency toward others. Ideology, on the other hand, cares little for individual persons and focuses completely on the goals of The Cause. Things like kindness and decency are jettisoned in pursuit of those goals. Think of the difference between a Quaker and a Communist: which would you rather have as a neighbor? I bring this up because...

In the last four years, the Biden administration has violated every historical canon critical to ensuring legal immigration enriches the United States. Some 8 to 10 million illegal aliens from all over the world, as expected, have flooded across the border since Joe Biden took office. A demagogic candidate Biden, remember, in 2019 invited those massing at the southern border to “surge” into the United States without specifying they first needed legal sanction: “We immediately surge to the border all those seeking asylum.” In contrast, we know legal immigration is America’s great strength, but it has always depended on a...

One of the most important ideas in the Bill of Rights is that your private property belongs to you. It wasn’t exactly a novel concept, but just in case there was any doubt, the Bill of Rights spelled it out: No one can seize your property without due process. And if you take a look at the major court cases in this area over the years, you’ll find that you have the strongest privacy interests in your home, which makes sense. There are all kinds of exceptions that police can use to search your car, or your locker at work,...

The man was held back by his colleague while screaming at the Israeli man Harvard employee starts screaming after he is confronted for ripping down hostage posters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A groundskeeper working at Harvard University was caught on camera acting aggressively after being confronted for ripping down posters of Israeli hostages held by terrorists in Gaza on Wednesday morning. The man, sporting a reflective vest with the Harvard logo, stuffed the posters into a trash bag in Harvard Yard before he was approached by an Israeli man, the video shows. The posters, sponsored by Jewish organization Harvard Chabad, were put up...

Friday was a day that ended in a “y,” and so it was another occasion for leftist virtue-signaling. Old Joe Biden’s ghostwriter wrote on X: “On the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, we recognize the hate that Muslims face because of their beliefs and the ugly resurgence of Islamophobia following the war in Gaza. Let us rededicate ourselves to a world where people of all faiths are free to live without fear.” Biden hasn’t said a word, however, about the hate that Jews face from Muslims themselves. And it’s no wonder: such talk would clash with the left’s narrative.In that...

Comments from Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner about about the "valuable" real estate potential of “Gaza’s waterfront” has surfaced after a talk he gave at Harvard University in February. Kushner, Trump’s former Middle East adviser, also suggested Israel should remove Gazans to the Negev desert or Egypt while it “clears up” the area. He also said: “Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable … if people would focus on building up livelihoods.”

Last week, Joe Biden issued a schoolmarmish warning to Israel, which he has been browbeating for months to placate his party’s anti-Israel left and Muslim American voters in Michigan, a critical swing state. Speaking to the press, he threatened, “There’s got to be a ceasefire because Ramadan – if we get into circumstances where this continues to Ramadan, Israel and Jerusalem could be very, very dangerous.”This solicitude for Muslims’ sensitivity about their faith bespeaks the West’s long bad habit of caring more about Islam––the faith that conquered and occupied, and to this day still occupies, much of the Christian Roman...

A shoplifting epidemic costing retailers in New York state $4.4 billion a year is creating a shadow resale economy that ranges from eBay to bodegas, The Post has learned. Shoplifting in New York City alone rose 64% from June 2019 to June 2023, according to the Council on Criminal Justice. In 2022, the total estimated loss to shops in the state was $4.4 billion, Gov. Kathy Hochul said in February. And retailers and law enforcement told The Post that the need to sell the stolen goods has created a sprawling underground economy. Thieves and middlemen are selling shoplifted goods on...

(WKBN) — Best Buy is looking to close some stores this year and work to offer a smaller experience for customers in some markets. The company is looking to close 10 to 15 stores, following the closing of 24 stores last year, CFO Matthew Bilunas said during a fourth-quarter earnings call with investors last month. He explained that Best Buy will “close existing traditional stores during our rigorous review of stores as their leases come up for renewal.” The company cited consumer spending habits, lowering of product innovation during the pandemic, and “supply challenge years,” among other things.

The Gods of Political Correctness dictate that all religions are of equal worth; that there are “…three great Abrahamic religions,” and “The Arabs are Semites too, so they can’t be anti-Semites.” All three of these sacred cow clichés need to be slaughtered on the altar of truth. While Christianity and Islam are both offshoots of the Jews and took from them the concept of having one’s own holy writ, their self-definitions as new faith communities were radically different. The Koine Greek language narratives that Christians append to their version of the Hebrew Bible purport to be a continuation of Jewish...

HOUSTON (AP) — Three boys, ages 11, 12 and 16, and dubbed the “Little Rascals," have been arrested for robbing a bank in Houston, authorities confirmed Wednesday. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the youngsters are in custody and have been charged with robbery by threat. Gonzalez said that because of their ages, no additional information would be released, and the sheriff's office didn't immediately respond to a request for more information. The FBI’s Houston office says they were wanted for robbing a Wells Fargo bank in the Greenspoint area of north Houston on March 14. The FBI posted an...

A team of engineers has invented a remarkable new material that gets stronger after an impact. The material’s creators also say it is electrically conductive, making it an ideal candidate for wearables or other electronics that are subject to repeated stresses and impacts. Rather surprisingly, the inventors of their new material say the unique properties of corn starch, a common food additive, inspired their efforts. “When I stir cornstarch and water slowly, the spoon moves easily,” explains Yue (Jessica) Wang, a materials scientist and the project’s principal investigator. “But if I lift the spoon out and then stab the mixture,...

According to Arkansas State Police and ATF, Bryan Malinowski, the executive director of the Clinton National Airport, was being served a federal search warrant when he shot toward ATF, and they returned fire. The airport director was shot at least twice as authorities said he suffered gunshot wounds. Police said an ATF agent was shot once with non-life-threatening injuries. Both were sent to nearby hospitals. De Bruyn said she witnessed an ambulance, firetruck and multiple law enforcement agencies swarmed the cul-de-sac and adjacent street

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) has reportedly told his colleagues to oppose the idea of term limits, which aligns with his past public statements. A report from Axios said two sources indicated McConnell told Senate Republicans that “imposing term limits on the Senate leader is a bad idea during a Wednesday meeting about the direction of the conference”: McConnell was one of several senators who spoke during an hour-and-a-half conference meeting, which was called by conservative Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.). McConnell spoke against imposing term limits for the top GOP position, calling it a bad idea, according to...
