Bernard-Henri Lévy takes on the Israeli crisis. Born in 1948 in French Algeria to a family of Sephardic Jews but raised from infancy in France, where he has spent his long and productive life, Bernard-Henri Lévy has led a distinguished career as a philosopher, war correspondent, and prolific author and commentator. Unlike many members of his generation in France, he was not seduced by Marx, and has in fact spent much of his life criticizing Communism and other forms of tyranny, championing oppressed peoples around the world, and defending Israel and the United States at a time when most of...

On August 24, 2024, Pavel Lozhkin, Deputy Head of Russia’s Ministry for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, announced Moscow’s readiness to collaborate with Tehran in various sectors such as industrial development, mining, tourism, and transportation. Putin provided a €1.3 billion loan to Iran to build a 162-kilometer railway connecting Rasht to Astara on the Azerbaijan border. This railway will facilitate the transportation of goods from St. Petersburg to Bandar Abbas, Iran’s main export port on the Persian Gulf. On August 9, Reuters reported that Russian military personnel are being trained in Iran to operate the Fath-360...

Amid doubts about Biden's ability to effectively lead the U.S. in his remaining months as president, our enemies abroad might see an opportunity to alter the global balance of power. There are three current hot or cold wars: on the Ukrainian border, in the regions surrounding Israel, and in the strategic space between Taiwan and mainland China. All three conflicts could not only expand within their respective theaters but also escalate to draw in the United States. And all three involve nuclear powers. Various Russian megaphones routinely threaten to use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Some boast about sending strategic...

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem (8/26/24)[Prayer]Names and Titles of God the Holy Spirit (Our Defender) Psalm 139:19-2419 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And...

Vice President Kamala Harris still has no policies on her website, five weeks after joining the presidential race and a week after the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, as the presidential race heads into the final weeks. Harris’s website includes a brief biography of the candidate, plus one of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. It includes a “take action” tab that lets supporters add their name to a list, a store with campaign merchandise, and “donate” button. But there are no policies. Last week, during the convention, former President Donald Trump’s campaign unveiled a parody website, kamala2024policies.com, that lists Harris’s...

Here we have the insanely rare Brittany Mahomes W. Brittany Mahomes is the wife of superstar Kansas City Quarterback Patrick Mahomes. She stays in the headlines pretty regularly. And this lady does not give two poops what other people think. Yeah, Mahomes liked a Trump post on Instagram. And then when people got ticked, she responded thusly: I mean ... I don't exactly get the response. But she's right, lefties do need to grow up. Conservatives see celebrities, athletes, and other stars disagree with them politically every single day and you don't have these sorts of hissy fits usually. But...

The un-Democratic party allowed itself to be taken over by radicals, now it’s going to destroy them. There was a time only a few decades ago in the '70s and '80s when politics wasn’t as divisive in that the other side could at least admit what they were and what they wanted to do. A time when it was Democrat or Republican instead of left versus right and we weren’t that far apart from each other. We could disagree without being disagreeable and still be friends. But unless you’ve been living under a rock, or only getting your news from...

Almost everything you see and hear with the Lying Legacy Media and the government is a lie. Just this past week, the Biden Administration backtracked about employment as it was widely reported, “US economy added 818,000 fewer jobs than first reported in year that ended in March.” A huge miss or a huge lie–take your pick. Other big lies we have been told in recent years: “Trump is colluding with Russia,” “Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation, and the “CV19 vax injections are “safe and effective.” That is just scratching the surface of the lies we are told on a...

The Lodge at Shavano Park apartments in San Antonio, Texas, wasn't about to let 91-year-old Sanda Bonilla out of her lease for some lame excuse like dying. According to the apartment complex, Bonilla still owed them $14,368 in future rent, as well as another $1,117 for a lease break fee, and they sent the bill to the next of kin with a threat to send it to collections if they didn't cover her lease. The bill even states the reason for breaking the lease as "deceased." David Naterman, the woman's son, said, We went to the apartment complex, spoke to...

Here are the three unforgivable sins the gazillionaire tech mogul has committed against the left. How quickly our views evolve! A few years ago, when Elon Musk was giving millions in support to Barack Obama, Democrats thought he was just fine. Now they see Musk as a racist, a danger to the world order, and a threat to Democrats. The left was already upset with Musk for purchasing Twitter (“X”), and for allowing the Orange Menace et al. to air their views on that website. Recently, Musk did three more things that rankle Democrats: he re-posted a meme that makes...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz served in the National Guard for 24 years, rising through the enlisted ranks and receiving an honorable discharge. It is a record seen as one of his political strengths. Republicans are trying to turn it into a weakness. They have seized on criticism from former National Guard members denouncing Walz, the Minnesota governor, for retiring from the military in 2005 to run for Congress shortly before his unit was deployed to Iraq and for overstating the rank he held after he left the service. They also have pointed to a comment...

Cone snail venom contains consomatin, a toxin that could lead to better, longer-lasting drugs for diabetes and hormone-related diseases by mimicking somatostatin. A new study published in Nature Communications reveals the toxin from one of the most venomous animals on the planet may hold the key to improving drugs for diabetes and hormone disorders. An international team of scientists led by the University of Utah identified a component within the venom of a deadly marine cone snail, the geography cone, that mimics a human hormone called somatostatin, which regulates the levels of blood sugar and various hormones in the body....

“‘Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?’” (Matthew 6:26). If God provides for the birds, how much more will He provide for you. I can imagine our Lord standing on a hillside in Galilee, looking down over the beautiful north end of the sea, the breeze rippling across the water, the sun bright in the sky. The people were all gathered at His feet. As He was speaking to them, some birds...

The police have arrested a - go on, take a wild guess - yes, a 26-year-old Muslim from Syria who is reported to have yelled - time for another wild guess - bingo, "Allahu Akbar!"
