There is no risk to the Israeli economy. Experts say that. It's just that political oppononest (in a concensus) are saying "the sky is falling."

As Democrat-run cities across America continue to descend into criminal chaos, the nation’s largest city is hemorrhaging police officers.In an exclusive story last week, The New York Post published data that shows New York City (NYC) police officers are resigning from their duties at a shocking rate. Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch called it a “staffing emergency” that is “approaching the point of no return.”The statistics show a 117% increase in retiring officers since 2021.The shocking stats show 239 officers tapped out in January and February, a 36% spike from the 176 who fled in the same period last...

Things have been rocky on the economic front since Silicon Valley Bank collapsed on Friday. Known for its focus on ESG and DEI, the demise of SVB marked the second-largest bank collapse in US history. That has faith in the banking system at levels not seen since 2008. It also has the government bailing out millionaires and billionaires again.Isn’t Joe Biden doing such a great job?But I digress, there’s another man who has found himself at the center of discussions in the midst of all the chaos. That would be Jim Cramer of CNBC. The “Mad Money” host has a...

Not only have the FBI and the Energy Department concluded that the Wuhan Institute of Virology brought us COVID, but a new CBS News report shows that the U.S. may have made double payments for research projects through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).Diane Cutler, a former federal investigator with a lengthy career fighting healthcare fraud, was hired by Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) to investigate, and what she found was troubling:What I’ve found so far is evidence that points to double billing, potential theft of government funds. It is concerning, especially since...

The past few weeks has proven that the freedom of speech enshrined under the First Amendment is under assault by our government. Independent Journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger‘s March 9 testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government revealed just how determined Democrats in Congress are in silencing any speech that they do not agree with and any platform that chooses to disseminate said speech. Both Taibbi and Schellenberger are progressive Democrats who voted for Joe Biden. Yet, because they hold the First Amendment and truth as a higher standard than political agendas and...

Former acting Director of National Intelligence and Ambassador Ric Grenell joined Lou Dobbs podcast recently to discuss the COVID-19 coverup. Ric told Lou that every single intelligence agency signed off on a statement back on April 30th of 2020 declaring China was responsible for the Covid pandemic. The intel agencies agreed that the virus originated in the Wuhan Virology Lab. Grenell goes on to say, “There was a cover-up.” According to Grenell: The Sec. of Energy recently came out with a statement that the Covid virus originated in the Wuhan laboratory, but we already knew that. Why make the statement...

When I was a child in the 1970s, we were constantly being scared by mainstream news sources about the upcoming ice age that was being predicted.It was absolutely terrifying.Fortunately, the predicted ice age never came.The global warming that we are experiencing today is far preferable to the upcoming ice age that was being predicted by every mainstream news source in the 1970s.I am so, so very glad that those predictions did not come true.Here are some examples of those predictions:New York Times, February 23, 1969: “Worrying About a New Ice Age”https://web.archive.org/web/20190925033108/https://www.nytimes.com/1969/02/23/archives/science-worrying-about-a-new-ice-age.htmlWashington Post, January 11, 1970: “Colder Winters Held Dawn of...

Why would Joe Biden irritate his Left to allow oil drilling in Alaska? Well consider this Never Trumper US Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and de-facto Biden ally has been a long-time friend of the energy industry. Her father Frank Murkowski ousted in 2006 as Governor of Alaska after Sarah Palin figured out how corrupt the Energy Commission Murkowski appointed her to was. Palin irritated the energy industry by wanting them to pay a fee to help pay for Alaska's state government. Murkowski Republicans had no such notions they kissed energy industry backside like business as usual politicians are supposed...

The DOJ today responded to Tucker Carlson’s report last Monday on the Q-Anon Shaman Jacob Chansley being escorted by Capitol Police through the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Chansley committed no violence. He said a prayer in the Senate chamber thanking the police for their service. He asked for permission to enter the US Capitol shortly after he entered the building. Chansley pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding – a new charge that is only used on Trump supporters .... Snip....

Oh but so many climate-related firms are going to fail to make payroll! - Any one of a thousand Internet scolds. My answer: So what? Next up - Republic, which apparently had lines out the door (if you believe the Internet) on Saturday. Again: So what? Folks, bubbles attract stupidity. Stupidity is a constant in the universe; in fact it is likely the only thing that is truly infinite (with all due respect to the late Mr. Einstein.) The so-called "Chief Risk Officer" at SVB had a masters in..... public administration. Anyone care to bet if she passed any form...

Former President Donald Trump is intensifying his attacks on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling him disloyal and saying that his political career would have been over had he not endorsed his ultimately successful 2018 campaign. “He was dead as a dog, he was a dead politician. He would have been working perhaps for a law firm or doing something else,” Trump told a small group of reporters aboard his plane on Monday afternoon en route to Iowa, where he was to make an appearance that evening. Trump spent nearly ten minutes going after DeSantis, who is widely viewed as his...

Officials said Monday the Pentagon seeks to overhaul the way it buys munitions, requesting $30.6 billion in funding from Congress to scale up orders for the varieties of weapons needed to confront China. Surging security assistance to Ukraine has depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles and exposed a need to rethink how the Pentagon procures short, medium, and long-range munitions from defense...

President Donald Trump eviscerated Governor Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., in his ongoing battle against Disney and its Magic Kingdom in Orlando. “Ron DeSanctimonious totally caved in his public relations inspired battle with Disney,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday. “That’s the only reason he went after them in the first place, to show Mr. Tough Guy. Disney maintained complete exemption from property & sales tax, tax-free bonds, and their incredible fast track permitting.”As reported by RSBN, Gov. DeSantis recently signed legislation in February (HB 9B) that ended Walt Disney World’s self-governing status by terminating the corporate kingdom’s special privileges in...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

As a conservative, I have watched with increasing concern as the left wing of the Democratic Party has pushed for greater control over the US banking system. This push has been fueled by a misguided belief that the banking system is inherently corrupt and that only government intervention can save it. However, as renowned conservative economist Milton Friedman once said, “The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.” In other words, the left wing’s proposed solution of greater government control over the banking system would likely only exacerbate the problem. If the left wing of...

So now we have in hand documents that show just exactly how the Biden family was getting money from the Chinese Communist party, and I will tell you it’s as bad as we thought, Maria. Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo interviewed Rep. Jim Comer this morning. He is the Chair of the Oversight Committee which is under intense Democrat Party assault. Mr. Comer wants to know if Joe Biden has been compromised by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). There is good reason to think so. Biden’s soft-on-China policy has alarmed people on both sides of the political aisle. This shouldn’t be...
