Hollywood's relative silence over the rise in antisemitism has been stunning to behold.The stars who have consistently spoken out is so small we can swiftly name them: - Debra Messing - John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting) - Patricia Heaton - Michael Rapaport - Jerry Seinfeld - David Schwimmer - David Draiman (Disturbed) That's more or less it. The rest of the celebrity class has stood down, including prominent Jewish stars like Steven Spielberg. The man who directed "Schindler's List" has been mostly mum on the cultural scourge. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. He doesn't have a platform...

Five pickleball players died in a tragic plane crash in Texas on Thursday night as they were making their way to a tournament. The players, all from the Amarillo Pickleball Club, have been identified as Seren Wilson, 19; Brooke Skypala, 45; Stacy Hedrick, 51; Justin “Glen” Appling, 37; and Hayden Dillard, 39. “Today, the Club has received terrible news that we all must mourn in the loss of five members of our Amarillo pickleball family,” the club wrote in a Facebook post. The announcement prompted several commenters to pay their respects. “They were the greatest people I’ve ever met! Every...

On Saturday, President Donald Trump told reporters he would be looking at a new offer from Iran to end the conflict. "I'm looking at it [on the plane]. I'll let you know about it later,' he said. "They told me about the concept of the deal. They're going to give me the exact wording now." He said that they didn't necessarily have to make a deal with Iran. But if the U.S. would leave right now, it would take Iran 20 years to rebuild. However, he said something very important, "We're going to do it so no one has to...

The American dream is dying, according to the Times. To mark the US’s 250th anniversary, the paper commissioned YouGov to explore whether the country’s citizens still believe that if you ‘work hard and play by the rules’ you will eventually be successful. Turns out, only 38 per cent of the respondents think this applies to all Americans, while 59 per cent think the American dream is now less attainable than it was when they were growing up. In addition, 38 per cent rated today’s quality of life as ‘excellent’ or ‘good’, compared with 60 per cent who said the same...

When it reaches the stage when everyone in the entire country is diagnosed as having mental health problems, will we have to accept that being mentally ill represents mankind’s new norm, thus rendering the whole concept meaningless? This is not some idle philosophical hypothesis. This is a question we will one day have to ask ourselves if matters continue on their current path. According to new research from Zurich Insurance, 51 per cent of people aged between 15 and 19 now have a mental or behavioural disorder such as anxiety, depression or ADHD, and if present trends continue as they...

Prego Pasta Sauce announced they were teaming up with StoryCorps to create a device that would store pasta while also eavesdropping on, recording, and, according to some reports, uploading your family's dinner conversations to the Library of Congress. It gets even crazier. The devices sold out almost instantly! (Probably picked up by some guys in an unmarked van). To be fair, though, Prego promised the devices won't upload your conversations without permission. And it seems pretty innocent. The Prego x StoryCorps Connection Keeper is a simple, AI-free, screen-free device designed to help families create an audio scrapbook of the moments...

Another member of the “peaceful left” is now facing the consequences after threatening to murder federal agents. 26-year-old Logan Murfin has been convicted on ten felony charges for repeatedly calling for ICE agents to be assassinated on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter.) ICE shared a photo of him in custody: In several of the deranged posts, Murfin compared ICE to the Gestapo and said that they all need to be “gunned down” and “executed” to avoid a repeat of the Holocaust. Here’s a look at some of the disgusting social media posts Murfin posted: Murfin is looking at...

A quiet legal ruling in Texas has opened the door to a much louder national conversation. When Amy Meachum ordered the state to allow construction of a 400-acre Muslim community—complete with homes, a mosque, schools, and businesses—it wasn’t just a zoning decision. It was a window into a deeper reality: Islam is growing in the United States, and with that growth comes both opportunity and tension that Americans can no longer ignore. The development, formerly known as Epic City and now called “The Meadow,” represents a vision of communal life shaped around Islamic faith and culture. Backed by developers and...

Last month, the Arab-American Business and Professional Association (ABPA) unveiled the first of its "Welcome to Little Palestine" signs in Bridgeview, a suburb 15 miles southwest of Chicago. The sign was erected at 83rd Street and Harlem Avenue, welcoming visitors to an area stretching from 79th Street to 113th Street that ABPA calls one of the largest Palestinian-American communities in the United States. A second sign followed at Westfield Plaza on 87th Street. ABPA president Rush Darwish declared at that unveiling: "This unveiling is more than a sign -- it is a declaration of who we are."The designation came after...

A protestor was cuffed by the Secret Service at Trump National Doral in Florida after he tried passing through the checkpoint and set off the magnetometers. It is unclear if the unidentified protestor was taken into custody. Video posted to X shows a Secret Service agent slapping cuffs on a man dressed in a t-shirt, shorts and a baseball cap.

Sen. John Fetterman sounded the alarm Friday about the leftward drift of his own party, warning that a “small Communist takeover” is underway in Maine as Graham Platner closes in on the Democratic Senate nomination. Appearing on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime,” the Pennsylvania Democrat said the rise of Mr. Platner — an oyster farmer and Marine Corps veteran who wrote in a 2021 Reddit post, “I got older and became a communist” — exemplified the Democratic Party’s inability to resist its worst impulses. “There is kind of a small Communist takeover in Maine,” Mr. Fetterman said. “Platner, he’s already...

ON A GOOD DAY Our worth is tested every day. We are given the choice of being nice to people or uncharitable. We are given the choice of doing our work as well as we can or of goofing off. Some days it seems the tests are harder than on others, but every day brings with it some kind of test. Even the really good days! To have everything go wonderfully for us, to feel like a million dollars, to have one of those days when nothing and nobody can upset us, they are days when we might think...

“Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar’s name appears at least six times in recently resurfaced court documents from the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud case, fueling speculation about whether the Minnesota socialist had a hand in the widespread scam in her district. The documents were part of the 2025 federal trial of Aimee Bock, the founder of the Feeding our Future nonprofit who was convicted of wire fraud, conspiracy, and bribery for masterminding the scheme that falsely claimed to serve millions of meals to children while pocketing federal funds through bogus food sites and shell companies. Bock is in custody awaiting...

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue -@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers!

Rattled supporters of Jimmy Kimmel are planning to roll out billboards near his network’s corporate headquarters after President Trump demanded that ABC ax the late-night host over his “hateful” joke aimed at the president and first lady. Lefty advocacy group MoveOn is targeting Disney and ABC offices in the Los Angeles area with the mobile billboards, urging new Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro to “protect free speech” and “stand firm against FCC Censorship.” MoveOn said the billboards will “circulate around Disney Headquarters, Disney-ABC Television Group, ABC 7, and Disney’s corporate office in Burbank, CA,” WDWNT reported. The campaign comes after Trump...

It’s safe to say that, among the nations of the world, Israel perhaps evokes stronger thoughts and emotions in people than any other. Israel and polarization seem to fit hand in glove, as people either strongly like or love Israel or dislike or even hate the Jewish nation. It seems most people tend to feel very strongly about Israel, one way or another.In the church today, the nation of Israel is also a point of contention, not geopolitically, per se, but biblically. In short, as it pertains to God’s relationship with Israel in the future, there are only two basic...

On Saturday’s The Weekend on MS NOW, Stacey Abrams was given the full VIP treatment. Co-host Eugene Daniels introduced her as “Madam Leader,” and the panel kept the unctuous title going throughout the segment — even though her time as minority leader in the Georgia House ended nine years ago. When it comes to fellow leftists, flattery apparently has no expiration date at MS NOW. Abrams accused Republicans of trying to “legalize the restoration of Jim Crow,” branded Republican leadership “racist, fascist” and “vicious.” And the Supreme court? They had the "same ethos" as the Supreme Court justices in the...
