The David family was reacting after Hamas's armed wing released a video of 24-year-old Evyatar David, looking emaciated and weak. Israeli restrictions on the entry of goods and aid into Gaza have led to severe shortages of food and other essentials.

The 60s were when life burst into colour for many people after the drab 50s. The music, the fashion and the newfound freedom, for some at least, made it a great decade in which to grow up. Wartime austerity was finally coming to an end and more and more households were able to afford time-saving mod-cons. But no era is perfect and the 60s certainly had their flaws. Below are nine things you almost certainly don’t miss about the 1960s if you grew up then. 1. Waking up to ice on the inside of your windows At the start of...

According to the Public Interest Legal Foundation, nearly 50,000 registrants on New York’s voter list are registered in at least one other state.

When asked how far the US government has plunged into the red, many fiscally-conscious Americans will tell you the national debt has reached $37 trillion. As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.That huge discrepancy springs from the fact that the federal government doesn’t hold itself to the same accounting standards it imposes on businesses. Rather than using accrual accounting — which recognizes expenses when they’re incurred — our Washington overlords self-servingly...

As anyone who follows any major league sports can tell you, sports media is as left-wing, if not more horribly left-wing, as regular media. Most people watch sports to cheer on their favorite team and forget about things like politics for a while. But in recent years, it has been a never-ending parade of things such as BLM T-shirts, and not taking a stand to keep biological men out of women's sports. Party politics has also seeped into sports media. And it is not hard to figure out which side many in professional sports are cheering for. Man kicked out...

Earlier on Saturday, it was revealed that Senate Republicans and Democrats were trying to formulate a deal to push through some of President Donald Trump's nominees. That came after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) gave a speech on the Senate floor threatening to use the Harry Reid precedent to remove hurdles like two-hour debates and cloture votes. The major issue stems from Democrats taking the unprecedented step of refusing to confirm any of Trump's nominees by voice vote or unanimous consent. By comparison, Joe Biden had 57 percent of his passed through those processes. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has claimed...

The number of countries with Christian majorities declined between 2010 and 2020, according to a new report by the Pew Research Center, highlighting a notable shift in global religious affiliation.As of 2020, Christians remained the majority in 120 out of 201 countries and territories analyzed, down from 124 in 2010. That means Christian-majority nations accounted for 60% of all countries surveyed, compared to 62% a decade earlier. The decline is largely attributed to a growing number of people leaving Christianity, contributing to the rise of religiously unaffiliated populations in multiple nations.The most significant changes occurred in the United Kingdom, Australia,...

A team of archaeologists has discovered what appears to be a 4,500-year-old lost Harappan settlement deep in northwest India’s Thar Desert, reshaping long-held beliefs about the boundaries of the Indus Valley Civilization. Located near the India–Pakistan border, the site marks the first confirmed evidence of Harappan presence in Rajasthan’s arid western region. Known as Ratadia Ri Deri, the settlement is approximately 60 kilometers (37 miles) from Ramgarh tehsil in Jaisalmer district and just 17 kilometers (10.5 miles) from the international border. The finding expands the known geographical spread of one of the world’s oldest urban civilizations and confirms that the...

The U.S. Senate confirmed former Fox News star and longtime Trump ally Jeanine “Judge Jeanine” Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. It can be recalled that President Trump appointed Pirro to the position following Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC)’s derailment of Ed Martin’s Senate confirmation in May. Tillis, who voted to confirm Biden’s radical pick for Attorney General Merrick Garland, told reporters that he opposes the nomination of Ed Martin for DC US Attorney for political reasons. He said he would have supported Martin for any district except the District of Columbia. President Trump described her as “one...

I’m not a doctor. The following are my observations of the medical system as a patient, not a professional opinion.I’m hoping for change; that is, for Congress and President Trump to decisively end Obamacare. We must push the healthcare industry towards healing from the abominations foisted upon it by over-regulation, DEI, gaslighting, cumbersome reporting, and a system that doesn’t incentivize health. RFK Jr. is helping by slowly tackling diet and immunizations.The pharmaceutical industry’s financial vice-grip on doctors, stifling independent diagnosis and creative, proactive treatment, does no service to the ill. Research follows funding, and if there’s no profit, there’s no...
