Former UN Teacher Orchestrates Violent Anti-Semitic Attack in Amsterdam, Investigation RevealsAccording to a detailed investigation by The Jerusalem Post, a disturbing connection has emerged between the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and last Thursday’s orchestrated assault on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam. At the center of the controversy stands Ayman Nejmeh, a former UNRWA educator who now heads PGNL (Palestinian community in the Netherlands), the organization implicated in coordinating the violent confrontation. In a development that has sent shockwaves through European diplomatic circles, Nejmeh—who suspiciously scrubbed his UNRWA employment history from social media platforms following the incident—had previously...

When it comes to healthy eating, veggies are always a good choice — but one takes the cake for being the healthiest. Watercress is the most nutrient-dense vegetable, receiving a perfect score of 100 in the CDC’s long-standing ranking of “powerhouse” fruits and vegetables (PFVs). Chinese cabbage is a close second with a score of 91.99, followed by chard (89.27), beet greens (87.08) and spinach (86.43). These foods, among a total of 41 that qualified as PFVs, were found to contain 17 nutrients, including potassium, fiber, protein, calcium, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, zinc, and vitamins A, B6, B12, C,...

A beloved music director at a Michigan catholic church was fired after an unknown source informed church officials of his same-sex marriage — sparking outrage from parishioners, with many protesting and some renouncing their membership over the termination. Fred Szczepanski was canned from his position at St. Francis Church in Traverse City on Oct. 18 after the church officials discovered he had a same-sex marriage ceremony to his longtime partner in Nevada in 2020, according to Traverse City Record-Eagle. Szczepanski, known by churchgoers as “Mr. Fred,” was confronted by Rev. Michael Lingaur after church leaders received a letter from an...

US fast food chain Wendy’s is set to open in Ireland in the coming years, with the creation of 300 jobs. Fuel company Corrib Oil — which also manages petrol stations and forecourts — announced a partnership with the American fast food giant. A total of 10 Wendy’s restaurants are set to open across the country between 2025 and 2027. The restaurants will be both standalone operations as well as located at Corrib-run service stations. According to Corrib, the move will see the creation of 300 jobs in Ireland. …

Conspiracy theory purveyor Infowars and most of its assets went on the auction block Wednesday, with Alex Jones waiting to see if he will be allowed to stay or if he will get kicked off its online platforms. The private auction was being held as part of Jones’ personal bankruptcy, which resulted from the nearly $1.5 billion in defamation lawsuit judgments a judge and jurors ordered the bombastic internet show and radio host to pay to families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting for repeatedly telling his audience that the Connecticut massacre of 20 children and...

President-elect Donald Trump told The Post Wednesday that he and President Biden “both really enjoyed seeing each other” when they sat down for a historic post-election get-together in the Oval Office. “You know, it’s been a long, it’s been a long slog,” the 78-year-old said during a phone interview as he left Washington. “It’s been a lot of work on both sides and he did a very good job with respect to campaigning and everything else. We really had a really good meeting.” The last two presidents of the United States discussed the transition of power on Jan. 20, with...

Napoleon Bonaparte was a genius. Adolf Hitler had an above-average IQ. Joe Biden is a half-wit. All three are fools who believed they could destroy Russia. The West’s failed Ukraine project has forced us to confront a bewildering array of what look like instances of stupidity, verging even on psychosis. Competent analysts like John Mearsheimer and Jacques Baud confirmed the obvious: total defeat for Ukraine has been inevitable from the get-go, yet the politicians and media kept telling us Ukraine was sure to win, and even if Ukraine lost, at least Putin could easily be removed from office. To me,...

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) formally joined the Senate Republican leadership team on Wednesday, having won an uncontested bid to become the vice chair of the Senate GOP Policy Committee. Lankford ran unchallenged for the position and will replace Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), who moved up to become chair of the committee. As vice chair, Lankford is chiefly tasked with keeping the minutes at the weekly Tuesday policy luncheon. The move into leadership came after an eventful past year for the Oklahoma senator, who was the chief GOP negotiator on the bipartisan border package that was swiftly rejected by conservatives...

The 2024 presidential election results reveal the diminishing influence of legacy mainstream media, whose relentless campaign against Donald Trump - unprecedented in scale and hostility - has largely backfired. Over half of American voters have shown that they’re no longer swayed by the daily narratives from ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and PBS. They’re no longer buying what’s published in the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal (editorial page excepted), or other prominent outlets. Trump’s decisive victory underscores the waning power of this era’s “Yellow Journalism,” though it’s doubtful the media will change course.

Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler slammed Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday for alleging President Joe Biden was stronger than President-elect Donald Trump on securing the southern border. Under the Biden-Harris administration, the southern border remained open: Nearly two million known gotaways evaded U.S. Border Patrol under the Biden-Harris administration, according to numbers released by Republicans on the House Committee on Homeland Security in April. The administration allows up to 650,000 criminal migrants and suspects — including at least 13,099 migrant convicted murderers and 222,141 migrants facing criminal charges — to roam through American communities, according to data released...

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday defied a threat by President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar, saying police in his city would not work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to remove illegal migrants. The remarks were Mayor Johnson's first since the presidential election, which saw Democrats defeated in several major races across the country. He reassured city residents that “no matter who is in the White House,” Chicago would remain a sanctuary city. “This week I am very mindful that we are one week out from the presidential election,” he said. “The outcome of the election...

This isn’t to guarantee success, but it seems like we little people have little recourse when it comes time to President Trump’s administration contenders, except to expose them before they become official. With that in mind, let’s take a look at Scott Bessent, Trump’s rumored selection for Secretary of the Treasury; according to a new report at Reuters, Bessent is the main candidate now that billionaire John Paulson has withdrawn his name from consideration because of “complex financial obligations” that precluded him from (presumably) ethically serving in the position. Well, I neither trust Bessent to serve ethically, nor do I...

CNN contributor and former Obama adviser Van Jones said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that President-elect Donald Trump’s pick of Fox News host Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense is “very alarming.” Jones said, “I think look, he looks great, but he sounds terrible, and I think if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. There’s the fiction that there’s something wrong with America’s military. What problem are you trying to solve? We have the most lethal, respected, the most feared military in the history of the world. There’s not even a number 2. So the idea that our military,...

On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence; that request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that some day he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his friend, Oscar Madison. Several years earlier, Madison's wife had thrown HIM out, requesting that HE never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?

Are you brave enough to try this dish? Maybe when pigs fry. New York City epicures are devouring a “special” Ecuadorian delicacy, guinea pigs — better known stateside as a potential pet for kids — and hailing them as a “very delicious” feast. At least that is the experience at the restaurant La Casa Del Cuy — literally “the house of guinea pig” — a culinary go-to in Corona, Queens, that grills and serves the rodent (cuy) whole, essentially every part but the “squeak.” On a recent Monday evening, the house was packed with diners tearing into the 2½-pound animals,...

The party responsible for appointing a Transportation Secretary whose only relevant experience was an apparent love of for toy trains has declared Trump's cabinet picks "unqualified." The Democratic Party, fresh off appointing a dude who wears dresses as a health minister, a guy who steals women's luggage as nuclear weapons officer, and a Joker-costume-wearing lesbian who can't answer questions as Press Secretary, felt that Trump's choices did not have the proper credentials for their jobs. "President-Elect Trump has beclowned himself with these appointments," said Senator Elizabeth Warren, handing her makeup bag to Admiral Levine. "These are serious roles with real...

From Nazis to Jihadists: Antisemitism, the cancer of the West. Opinion: The blatant and violent antisemitic attacks in the Netherlands show Europe has learned nothing from its dark past and now Jihadists reenact its Nazi history. This is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, with residents from 180 countries. The Dutch aren’t the majority, nor are those of European descent. In the early 2010s, the Dutch made up 50% of the population but had dropped to 44% by the start of this decade. The largest group after the Dutch is close to 80,000 Moroccan immigrants, followed by...
