Images of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas during the Oct. 7 terror attacks projected onto the walls of Jerusalem's Old City on Oct. 6, 2024. Reuters/Dedi Hayun). Today is a day of mourning for Israel and for every civilized living human. One year ago, the genocidal butchers of Hamas invaded the Jewish state. On the orders of Ismail Haniyeh, now blessedly burning in Hell, and with the backing and permission of Iran, paramilitary crews of terrorists surged over the border under cover of darkness and began to kill. They did not target soldiers or military facilities. No, they shot, stabbed,...

ROME — Pope Francis has announced his intention to make 21 new cardinals on December 8, among whom is the pro-LGBT Dominican friar Timothy Radcliffe. In 2023, the pontiff chose the woke friar to open the Vatican Synod on Synodality, who began his words by confessing, “I am old, white, a Westerner, and a man! I don’t know which is worse.” “All of these aspects of my identity limit my understanding, so I ask for your forgiveness for the inadequacy of my words.” said Father Radcliffe, a leader of the Church’s progressive wing for decades, who was largely sidelined during...

DUBAI, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Iran's oil minister landed on Kharg Island, home to the country's main export terminal, and held talks with a naval commander on Sunday, the oil ministry's news website Shana reported, amid concern Israel could attack energy facilities. An Israeli military spokesman said on Saturday that Israel would retaliate in response to last week's missile attack by Tehran "when the time is right". U.S. news website Axios cited Israeli officials as saying Iran's oil facilities could be hit, while U.S. President Joe Biden said on Friday that he did not think Israel had yet concluded how...

WASHINGTON, Thursday, Oct. 5. The following speech, made by JEFFERSON DAVIS at Macon, Ga., Sept. 23, 1864, is extracted from the columns of the Daily Macon Telegraph Confederate of Sept.24: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FRIENDS AND FELLOW-CITIZENS: It would have gladdened my heart to have met you in prosperity instead of adversity. But friends are drawn together in adversity. The son of a Georgian, who fought through the first Revolution, I would be untrue to, myself if I should forget the State in her day of peril. What though misfortune has befallen our arms from Decatur to Jonesboro, our cause is...

For the DEI crowd, Iran was the perfect petri dish for a new foreign policy rooted in Western self-abasement, guilt, and deference to “indigenous” voices. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been killing and harming Americans directly or through proxies from the moment of its birth in 1979. America has suffered 45 years of murder, mayhem, and the perpetual targeting of American interests at the hands of radical Islamofascists. Yet since 2008, Democrats, led by President Obama, have reoriented American foreign policy to actively seek a rapprochement with the blood-soaked mullahs of Iran. Time and again, the Iranians have shown...

Do the Math: Trump Is Toast If everyone does their part in the next few weeks, Trump is going down in flames. So say I.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sure can pick winners in their quest to cut deals in foreign policy. After freeing notorious Russian arms trafficking kingpin Viktor Bout in exchange for U.S. basketball player Brittney Griner, who had been sentenced to a draconian prison term in Russia on a minor drug violation, which was about the most lopsided trade imaginable, we can see what kind of deal that was from this pair of gullible fools who gave away the store. Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer known as the “Merchant of Death,” walked out of a U.S. jail almost two years...

Scientists are now testing whether rapamycin can reduce brain changes in older adults with early-stage Alzheimer’s, among the most dreaded diseases of the old. Rapamycin is a prescription drug approved to treat cancer or prevent people from rejecting transplanted organs. In the U.S., some doctors are prescribing the drug off-label, meaning for unapproved purposes, as an anti-aging treatment ... Rapamycin has been popular in the longevity sphere for at least a decade, but what’s old is new again, and rapamycin has been the subject of fresh buzz, with feature stories in The New York Times, Discover Magazine and other major...

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) failed to show up for a debate with his Republican opponent for the U.S. Senate, Kari Lake. It was hardly a hostile venue for a Democrat -- Arizona PBS. This would seem like a big deal...unless you are writing cover for him at the Arizona Republic in Phoenix, the state's largest newspaper (owned by Gannett). The headline about the scheduled debate published on their azcentral.com website does not even mention the no-show by Gallego: "Kari Lake assails economic data, Ruben Gallego and media host in new interview."

FEMA regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA emergency food and shelter program to eligible local governments and nonprofit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants. We’ll continue to do what we can as a federal government and support the cities as we rebuild our asylum processing system. " ~ Karine Jean-Pierre

More than 230 people have been killed from Hurricane Helene, which unleashed devastation across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. Helene, which made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region last week as a massive Category 4 hurricane, has become the deadliest mainland hurricane since Katrina in 2005.

BAT CAVE, North Carolina — Residents of a tiny North Carolina town that was almost totally destroyed by Hurricane Helene have been fending for themselves after FEMA told them that a “Road Closed” sign is an insurmountable obstacle for the agency to navigate.

Another major foreign policy failure by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Nothing ever seems to go right for this ridiculous, tyrannical administration. The infamous “Merchant of Death” Viktor Bout, who Joe Biden traded for WNBA pot-smoking star Brittney Griner, is allegedly back in business. Bout reportedly was caught selling $10 million in arms to Houthi rebels in Yemen ... WNBA star Brittney Griner was found guilty of drug smuggling with criminal intent in a Russian court in August 2022. The 6’9″ basketball star was accused of possession of vape cartridges containing cannabis oil at a Moscow airport in February, during...

Modern society's focus on credentials has created a two-tiered system, where multi-talented individuals are criticized, and elites oversee a dependent underclass. The songwriter, actor, country/western singer, musician, U.S. Army veteran, helicopter pilot, accomplished rugby player and boxer, Rhodes scholar, Pomona College and University of Oxford degreed, and summa cum laude literature graduate, Kris Kristofferson, recently died at 88. Americans may have known him best for writing smash hits like “Me and Bobby McGee” and “For the Good Times,” his wide-ranging, star-acting roles in A Star is Born and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, his numerous solo albums, especially with...

Israel paused Monday to observe the anniversary of the terror attack of October 7, 2023, when Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists brutally murdered 1200 Israelis and abducted over 250 hostages, often torturing and raping their victims. In the year since, Israel has smashed the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza; begun uprooting Hezbollah terrorists from its northern border; destroyed facilities in Yemen used by Houthi rebels; and threatened Iran itself with attack. Israelis cannot move on past October 7 while there are still roughly 100 hostages being held by Hamas. Though some 34 are believed to be dead, many are thought to be...
