It's still short of a majority, however, and that leaves Netanyahu with some tough choices. And Bibi's not alone in that predicament: With 84.5% of ballot boxes counted as of 12:34 p.m., partial results published by the Central Elections Committee give 54 seats to the bloc led by Prime Minister...

Jonathan Cahn’s new series exposes Marx as not just a (failed) political theorist, but a monster of a man with a love for wickedness personified as well. "As God has snatched from me my all. Nothing but revenge is left to me. I shall build my throne high over head. Cold, tremendous shall its pinnacle be,” said a German youth, according to Jonathan Cahn’s new series, “The Altar of Pergamon.” This same German youth wrote, “I will bring the world to ruins.

Foreign aid to any country is not a direct explanation for rising grocery bills, and isolating Israel for special condemnation demands scrutiny. When Israel alone is singled out, while its security threats are...
