Matt Walsh spoke for millions of freedom-loving Americans when he called Biden “a rotting bowl of oatmeal” following the president's vaccine mandate speech on Sept. 10, 2021. Walsh told Fox News’s Jesse Watters that Americans cannot be forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine. He also announced his organization’s “do not comply” lawsuit against Biden on his video program at the Daily Wire. Walsh’s argument that Biden had no more integrity than a rotting bowl of oatmeal may be used by voters again this year based on his newer pandemic-groundwork preparations. These include his Housing and Human Services department adding an...

According to police estimates, 100,000 protestors are currently participating in the demonstration. Additional demonstrations are planned to take place outside the President's residence in Jerusalem, in Be'er Sheva, and Herzliya.

Security forces raided the community of Ramat Migron in the Binyamin region Thursday night and declared the outpost a closed military zone on the orders of Judea and Samaria Division commander Brig. Gen. Avi Blot. In addition, the policemen knocked on the houses of the families in the outpost and threatened the residents that if they did not vacate their homes within minutes, they would be arrested and taken to the police station. The police raid this evening follows a series of raids that took place last week on the nearby outpost of Oz Zion, during which police officers broke...

News reports in Israel indicate that the country’s new government will be sworn in at the Knesset this coming Wednesday or Thursday. This will be more than seven weeks after the general election, and just before the time allotted Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu to cobble together a coalition runs out. Widespread hostility is expected to greet the incoming leadership which, from the moment the election results were announced, has been predicted by international and Israeli news organisations and commentators to be “extreme”. The New York Times Saturday warned that the government-to-be poses a “significant threat to the future of Israel...

The head of the Kedumim local council, Hananel Dorani, has expressed his sorrow at the passing of Shalom Sofer Hy"d who passed away following severe injuries sustained in a terrorist attack two weeks ago. "Shalom was a kind and generous man, an ish chessed," Dorani said. "He will be sorely missed for the righteousness and pleasantness of his ways. "The new government must now cancel all the statements and actions made by the outgoing government that led terrorists to believe that they could succeed, and it must also bring a halt to all thought of making concessions to the Palestinian...

Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday told visiting French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius that any new Palestinian unity government should not include Hamas, AFP reports. The remarks came on the eve of a key meeting of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to discuss forming a new cabinet. The unity government between Hamas and Fatah collapsed last week as Abbas decided to dissolve it amid a deepening rift between the sides. "(Abbas) told me this government of national unity could only include women and men who recognize Israel, renounce violence and who are in agreement...

Israel's Parliament has approved Benjamin Netanyahu's right-leaning coalition cabinet by 69 votes to 45, after a six-hour debate. Earlier, Mr Netanyahu had asked the country's Parliament to trust in him, as it prepared to swear him into office as Prime Minister. Mr Netanyahu said these were "not normal times" for Israel as it faced economic and security challenges.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was sworn in late Tuesday to lead Israel 32nd government, after cobbling together a coalition amid rising tensions within his own Likud party and with other leading political figures. Lawmakers voted 69 to 45 with five abstentions in favor of Netanyahu's right-wing government after a six-hour debate, making Netanyahu prime minister for the second time in 10 years. The new coalition will comprise 30 ministers and seven deputy ministers. In addition to serving as premier, Netanyahu has also created a position for himself as financial strategy minister and appointed Yuval Steinitz (Likud) to serve as finance...

PRIME Minister John Howard has urged the West not to be so cynical about Iraq following the first meeting of new Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's cabinet. The ratification of the new government was a true milestone on Iraq's hard march towards a more hopeful future, Mr Howard said, noting that the Iraqi people have voted in democratic elections three times despite violent intimidation. He wrote to Mr al-Maliki today promising continued Australian support for the nation as it attempts to rebuild. "We tend to forget how long it has taken other societies to fully embrace democracy," Mr Howard told reporters...

An environmental group asked for a court review Thursday of tighter gas mileage rules for pickups and sport utility vehicles that many conservationists said do not go far enough in limiting greenhouse gas emissions. The federal government set the new standards last week in response to rising concern about the supply and cost of energy from abroad. The rules, covering 2008 through 2011, would save 10.7 billion gallons of fuel over the lifetime of the vehicles sold during that period, officials said. The Tucson, Ariz.-based Center for Biological Diversity filed a one-page petition Thursday asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court...

There's a whole lot that happened today; here's a brief summary: - Martin offically resigned, and Stephen Harper was sworn in this morning as Canada's 22nd Prime Minister; - David Emerson, recently re-elected as a Liberal MP in Vancouver, defected to the Tories and is now part of the new cabinet. Ironically, just after reelection he promised to be "Stephen Harper's worst enemy" in Parliament; - Harper pulled an old Trudeau trick, by naming to cabinet an unelected friend he appoints to the Senate; - We're still burning over one of Paul Martin's last lies: months ago, the government swore...

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi political leaders will meet the president in his Kurdish homeland over the next few days to prepare the ground for the formation of a new government, a senior government official said on Tuesday. The announcement, part of efforts ease sectarian and ethnic friction following this month's election, came as around 5,000 supporters of former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi marched through Baghdad in the latest protest against the results. Sunni and secular parties are insisting the vote should be rerun -- at least in some key provinces where they say results were fixed to favor the powerful...

I have it! I guess a yell of 'Eureka!' is in order as I pat myself on the back, or at least the shoulder because I wouldn't be likely to break my arm. I have deduced and formulated the perfect government to replace the bitter and divisive system of bad government that we have today. No more partisan attempts to take complete control of your life, although it won't end the need for political parties. What is this grand new vision? This scrap of genius and enlightenment that was bestowed upon my humble brow? Oh, I hadn't actually got...

After a brief, almost bloodless war we have an ethnically and religiously divided nation. Mischievous neighbors on all sides can claim common cause with one or more of the major ethnic and religious groups vying for power. The largest ethnic faction has strong cultural ties to a powerful and expansionist neighbor, and is feared by other great powers nearby. Certain groups within the country are taking orders from religious authorities outside their borders in an attempt to impose a state reflecting their theology. Other nationalist radicals and many minorities are determined not to allow the creation of anything other than...
