I’ve done online searches to see if there is any veracity to this seemingly strong tendency in the black population to fail to note, remember, or use names of others who come across their path, at least not people who are celebrities. I call it “name blindness,” after another psychological phenomenon known and “face blindness.” This tendency doesn’t seem to be limited to specific sociological strata in the black population, but seems to be extant throughout. I’ve noticed this in college classes, where professors names are not remembered or used, on online forums and in debates and speeches, where black...

Here is Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz two weeks ago telling Democrats that they need to "get meaner." Two Minnesota lawmakers who voted against healthcare funding for illegal aliens were just shot in his state. Is that "mean" enough for the Democratic Party?

Iran has reportedly approached mediators in Qatar and Oman with a desperate request: tell Trump to stop the war. The Iranian regime continues to fire missiles at Israel, but is unable to stop incoming Israeli attacks. In less than 48 hours, Israel has killed most of Iran’s senior military leaders and nuclear scientists. It has also targeted Iran’s nuclear sites, and has taken out the remnants of Iran’s air defenses. It has also reportedly started attacking Iranian energy infrastructure in retaliation for Iranian missile attacks on Israeli civilians. Iran, it seems, has had enough. Israel’s Israel Hayom newspaper reported on...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended warm birthday wishes to President Donald Trump, hailing him as an “extraordinary leader” and a steadfast ally to Israel, while delivering a forceful address that underscored the growing pressure on Iran’s leadership, stressing that Israel believes “senior leaders” in the regime are already “packing their bags” as Israel intensifies its military operations. On Saturday, in an official statement, Netanyahu highlighted the urgent need for Israel’s ongoing military actions, emphasizing the threat posed by Iran’s leadership. He praised the unwavering support of President Trump, stating, “What you’re doing now, helping protect Israeli lives against the...

Israel has asked the Trump administration over the past 48 hours to join the war with Iran in order to eliminate its nuclear program, according to two Israeli officials. The big picture: Israel lacks the bunker buster bombs and large bomber aircraft needed to destroy Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment site, which is built into a mountain and deep underground. The U.S. has both within flying distance of Iran. But the Trump administration has so far distanced itself from Israel's operation, and argued that it would be illegitimate for Iran to retaliate by striking U.S. targets. Directly attacking Iran, even if...

The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they controlled the minds of the masses. – Malcolm X If the captured pharmaceutical-media complex recoiled in panic when Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. entered the political arena, it now convulses in open terror. Kennedy didn’t just challenge their monopoly on narrative—he began tearing out the supports propping up their empire. But if Bobby rattled the machinery, the recent appointment of Dr. Robert Malone has sent them into existential panic and caused them to...

Who’s terrorizing whom in the West Bank? President Biden had one answer, backed by United Nations data, and built an unprecedented sanctions regime to address Israeli “settler violence,” a suddenly ubiquitous term. On Tuesday the U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway announced sanctions on two Israeli ministers. But the data doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. A new report by Regavim, a right-wing Israeli NGO, takes the trouble of scrutinizing the statistics from the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), on which the Biden case relied. Poring over the U.N.’s list of 6,285 violent incidents by settlers...
