The IDF stated on Sunday that they can neither confirm nor deny reports on the possible death of Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar. Among sources consulted by The Jerusalem Post, a top source poured cold water on the notion, another source – who would be expected to have information – said they had no real information on it, while others noted disagreements within the defense establishment.

American Thinker has run several articles like this one about Dr. Anthony Fauci's political bias (which is his right).  But the Miami Herald published an article that was aimed at undermining President Trump, which actually contains compelling evidence that Fauci's bias or ignorance is affecting what he is telling the American people about COVID-19.  In the article "Dr. Fauci: 'I have to disagree' with Trump on coronavirus," the author writes: Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious diseases expert, disagreed on Friday with President Donald Trump's assertion that the country is "rounding the corner" on the coronavirus pandemic.  "I really do believe we're rounding the corner," Trump...

As an armed insurrection takes place in Venezuela to depose an authoritarian socialist leader who has literally destroyed his country’s economy and future, a soft coup continues thousands of miles to the north in the United States against a duly elected president who has brought wealth, prosperity, and economy opportunity to his people. If you needed any additional evidence that the deep state coup attempt to depose POTUS Donald Trump was ongoing, all you needed to see were the blaring headlines Wednesday morning from who else but the fake news Washington Post, insinuating in a “bombshell” story that special counsel...

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (C) among supporters. File photo US Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said on Thursday that the United States will continue extensive dialogue with Turkey despite disagreements just after the decision became public that the US would arm the Syrian Kurds.The Turkish government has been very concerned about the ongoing cooperation between the US-led coalition and the Syrian Kurds, and the recent decision of the Trump administration to arm the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). “We had very open discussion with the Turks.  It’s a NATO ally, and NATO allies stick...

President Barack Obama denied responsibility for any role he might have had in the disagreements roiling the American population during the current election campaign. "Look, the voters elected me as their president," he pointed out. "I was the one with the mandate to lead. It is those who have resisted acquiescence in my leadership who are the source of the divisiveness afflicting the country. Is it the parent who lays down the law that is at fault? Or is is the unruly child who defies the parent that should be held responsible for the disruption and disobedience?" The President blamed...

WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama in an interview broadcast Monday acknowledged a "deep disagreement" with the previous administration on national security matters, following recent sharp criticism from ex-vice president Dick Cheney. "I think when it comes to vice president Cheney, he and I have a deep disagreement about what's required to keep the American people safe," Obama said in recorded interview broadcast on CBS television. "I think that disagreement has been amply aired and certainly he has a right to voice his opinions. I would argue that our policies are making the American people safer, and that some of...

"If we were not so used to it, we would find it odd for the government to collect money from young workers and give it to the old (mostly workers' parents)." -- Robert Barro The headline that Business Week put on Robert Barro's column quoted above was "Why Private Accounts are Bad Public Policy." And the headline that the Washington Post put on a story that referred to Barro and others was Conservatives Splitting on Social Security. Is that the real story? I would describe Social Security as a program with a dubious economic rationale and very large costs. As...

It's my experience that one of the most kind and useful things we can do to facilitate edifying relationships with other believers is to assume they have good motives. When I don't recognize that a fellow Christian is sincere in what I perceive to be his error, it is far too easy to dismiss him or demonize him. Too often, I've treated a brother in error as if he is a brother wanting to be in error. The truth is that there is no other kind of brother but a brother in error while we are in this human body,...
