In view of the brutal and hellish record of its failed communist messiahs, past and present, it is only right that the ideology and actions of the current government of Cuba be confronted and resisted by the U.S. istorian Paul Johnson, author of Modern Times, described the 1930s as “the age of the heroic lie.” “Saintly mendacity” became its most prized virtue. Stalin’s Soviet Union was built on sanctified fabrications that characterized communist ideology and practice. The creation of Stalin as a communist messianic figure was part of the “saintly mendacity.” Johnson wrote that views of Stalin written in the...

In his September 24, 2026, address to the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel’s strikes on Iran and its conduct in Gaza, describing the years since October 7 as a seven-front war. Recalling the Six-Day War and his brother Yoni’s role in the Entebbe rescue, he repeated the refrain, “We have no other choice.” Delegates staged a walkout as the speech began, prompting Netanyahu to invite any remaining “moral cowards” to leave. He praised President Donald Trump, rejected accusations of genocide, and sharply criticized New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Qatar, and Turkey. He also voiced support for...

The Trump administration is planning to welcome up to 17,500 additional White Afrikaners from South Africa as refugees over the next 12 months, according to a notice sent to Congress on Tuesday and obtained by CBS News. The State Department informed congressional officials that the Trump administration is planning to allocate 17,500 refugee spots for fiscal year 2027, and that they will "primarily" go to Afrikaners, who President Trump has claimed are being oppressed for being White. Fiscal year 2027 starts in October. While the second Trump administration has effectively shut down the U.S. refugee resettlement program for most people...

Everything the Left doesn’t like is genocide

Pop star Macklemore has generated quite a buzz recently with his "Free Palestine" messaging while on Ed Sheeran's "Loop Tour." The 43-year-old musician was kicked off the tour following backlash from his pro-Palestine stance, but there have been a few "woke" celebrities who have come to Macklemore's defense. Following the Seattle native's pledge to donate $1 million to Palestinian aid organizations, children's YouTube star Ms. Rachel said she would match his donation and urged "every wealthy White celebrity" to do the same. Ms. Rachel isn't the only one to throw her public support behind Macklemore, though, as Formula One driver...

The package would be among the largest deliveries of U.S. munitions to Israel.The Trump administration has approved a $2.8 billion sale of heavy bombs to Israel, according to a U.S. official, in what would be among the largest deliveries of U.S. munitions there even as American public support for the country declines.The proposed sale would include 40,000 one-ton bombs whose use by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon has drawn international anger because of the civilian harm caused by their wide blast radius.Human rights groups and some foreign governments have condemned Israel for dropping the giant munitions in densely populated areas,...

The prevailing narrative from entertainment, academia, and other creative spheres is that Israel is the villain of all villains. And one of the words we see most often is “genocide.” A massive contingent of creative and political figures has lent their names to an open letter calling out the narrative. The letter is the brainchild of the Creative Community for Peace, and it begins, “We the undersigned are outraged and sickened by the latest blood libel to be inflicted on the Jewish people: the lie that Israel committed ‘genocide’ in Gaza. We reject this accusation with contempt.” "Central to the...

[Updated frequently]The genocide lieThe "Genocide" lie isn't a debate over facts—it's a coldly orchestrated political weapon: funded, coordinated, and laser-focused on forcing one toxic smear-word into every mouth, every headline, every official statement, through endless online swarms and staged street theater.The cheapening of the wordThe Genocide Lie: Why the Accusation Against Israel Collapses Under Scrutiny.

Posted to stimulate a discussion of the comment "Demographics defines culture, AND labor practices define demographics". This comment was made by a South African farmer who is trying to maintain his farm and stay alive. This is a vanity somewhat, but this was the first time I heard the above quote, and I think it is highly relevant to what too many of our industry / corporate leaders have done by bringing in H1B workers and off shoring jobs. I think that labor practices truly do have a defining effect on demographics, and demographics can have a profound if not...

WASHINGTON — A Democratic Socialists of America candidate running for Congress in Florida appeared to cut a weekend TV interview short when the journo started fact-checking his allegation that Israel is committing genocide. Wannabe House member Oliver Larkin, who is vying to unseat Dem Rep. Jared Moskowitz, pointed to the United Nations, Amnesty International and some Israeli human-rights organizations in trying to make the claim, but top “This Week in South Florida” host Glenna Milberg wasn’t having it. “That is factually incorrect,” she bluntly told him. “There’s the definition of genocide in the UN. The UN has said this does...

A new UNICEF survey shows that not only isn’t there a famine in Gaza, but the Hamas settlers of the terrorist enclave are some of the best fed in the Middle East. The UNICEF-led survey rated ‘acute malnutrition’ among children under 5 years old in the Gaza Strip as being at 0.5%. As UN Watch noted, this compares to World Bank data showing a rate of 0.4% in the UK, 0.5% in Germany, 1.6% in Finland and 3.3% in Egypt. Gaza Famine? Not according to UNICEF. A new survey shows Gaza has one of the lowest acute child malnutrition rates...

The Ottoman Jihad - Turkey's Genocide: The Systematic Annihilation of 2.5 Million Christians (1914–1923) Between 1914 and 1923, successive Ottoman and Turkish nationalist regimes carried out a systematic campaign of extermination against the empire’s Christian minorities. Driven by an ethnonationalist ideology aimed at homogenising Anatolia, the authorities executed these campaigns through direct massacres, forced labour battalions, weaponised starvation, and brutal death marches. The collective human toll of these coordinated operations is estimated by international historical consensus to include approximately 1.5 million Armenians, 300,000 Assyrians, and 750,000 Greeks: Armenians (1.5 Million): Representing the vast majority of the pre-war Armenian population, these...

In this new video, Victor Davis Hanson dismantles New York City Mayor Mamdani’s divisive Fourth of July speech, exposing the glaring hypocrisy of a multi-millionaire bicoastal elite lecturing the working class on systemic exclusion. Hanson pulls back the curtain on how his successes completely undermine his tribalist narrative. Don’t miss it. Victor, let's take the most controversial one that's gotten some attention, though I don't know how widespread this is, and this is New York City Mayor Mandami's prepared remarks for the 4th of July. And here, if I just bear with me, here's what he said. Um -- I'm...

They had to chuck him out. A self-described “journalist” interrupted and berated Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as he was touting his proposal to establish a new federal agency called the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Sam Husseini, an activist whose father was a Palestinian Christian, began shouting at Schumer (D-NY) about Israel, accusing him of supporting genocide. “What can be more corrupt than backing genocide?” Husseini screeched. “This is part of the same con with you and Trump trading off with each other, ‘Oh, he’s worse, no he’s worse.'” “You were put on notice in November of 2023 by the Center for...

No primary—especially a Senate primary—should go on this long. But Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, having dragged on for months, has turned into an interminably vicious grudge fest—one that’s not likely to subside until voters finally go to the polls on August 4 and choose between Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed.But the Michigan primary is also so bitter for the same reason that it has been so interesting. Of all of the 2026 races, this is the one that best captures the current fissures in the Democratic Party—and which seems to best predict where the fault lines of the 2028 presidential...

Q: A yes or no question: are there any DSA members who are not anti-Israel? If you found, name them. I need specifics, names. Not PC talk avoid hedging, whitewashing term like fake "pro-palestinian." Or the other side "pro-Israel." Focus only on 'anti-Israel.' In other words, no matter what Israel ever does, even in defending against genocide attempts, it is always illegitimate. A: The direct answer to your question is no. Under the organization's official platform and strict rules, there are no active, endorsed members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) who reject the view that Israel is an...

According to various reports, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger introduced her euphemistic "Negro Project" on Sunday, June 25th, 1939, 87 years ago. And Black America has never been the same since. Key Takeaways: * Margaret Sanger's Negro Project — the targeting of Black Americans by eugenicists — could come to fruition in a relatively short period of time. * According to the Population Reference Bureau, dedicated to informing people around the world about the population, health and the environment, long periods of low fertility rates have an "irreversible consequence.” * The total fertility rate for Black women in 2023 is...
