Do you recall that supposedly autonomous "CHOP" zone (originally "CHAZ) that was set up in Seattle at the height of the BLM riots? That turned out to be an unmitigated disaster in many ways. Unfortunately, when the socialists come up with a bad idea that appears to work, even for a little while, others take notice and begin to imitate them. That appears to be what's happening in Zuccotti Park in New York City this week. But instead of Black Lives Matter activists, this one is being organized by a curious combination of pro-Hamas antisemites and transgender activists. The usual...

Pathetic very disrespectful Watch Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupt Easter service at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York

The liberal actor declared, 'In all honesty, I have educated myself so much since 2016' --------------------------------------------- Comedian and pro-Israel advocate Michael Rapaport shredded what the modern Democratic Party has become and explained why he is increasingly considering voting for Trump in a new interview. As part of a series about the Israel-Hamas conflict that rages in the Middle East, an interviewer from Visegrad24 spoke to Rapaport on the shores of an Israeli beach and asked, "Have your political views shifted? You’ve been a very vocal anti-Trump - probably the most vocal anti-Trump celebrity out there. Have your views shifted? I...

Several waves of protesters disrupted President Biden’s grandiose fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall Thursday, where he kicked it with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to raise cash and enthusiasm for his 2024 re-election bid. One demonstrator, a woman blowing a whistle, holding a “war pig” sign and warning of “nuclear war with Russia,” was removed from the lavish New York City event, dubbed by the 81-year-old president as a “grassroots fundraiser.” The first interruption was quickly followed by booing and whistling and two other waves of protests related to Biden’s support for Israel’s war against Hamas. “Shame...

Our nation can hardly be said to have a southern border at all anymore. Even if the border were magically to reappear tomorrow, millions of people are already in the country without anyone knowing who or what they are. One hundred sixty-nine people on the FBI’s terror watch list were caught at the border in 2023; nobody knows how many people on that watch list got across the nonexistent border without being caught.Four jihadis just murdered at least 137 people in Moscow. They held the same beliefs as the Hamas jihadis who murdered 1,200 people in Israel on Oct. 7....

The title neatly summarizes the content of this video taken from Russia 1 state media. Commentator Vladimir Solovyov admitted that there were only three unarmed guards present at the concert at the Crocus City Hall. Which explains why the terrorists were not confronted on scene by armed police. Commentator Vladimir Solovyov is clearly agitating for war against NATO and the United States. Commentator Margarita Simonyan claims that the West refers to the Russians as "pig faced".

“ In addition, some pro-🇺🇦 "experts" deliberately showed their audience a wrong settlement on the map. If you look at the map they were apprehended near the settlement Teploe (Тёплое), NOT Teply (Тёплый), which is the one by the Belarusian border. It is about 380th km. of Kyevsky highway. From the place where the chase began there was a direct road only to Ukraine, and they had already passed the turn to Bryansk, and subsequently to Gomel, Belarus at that time. The pro-🇺🇦 sources deliberately misdirected Western audiences, since the settlement names are very similar in name, but different enough...

An illegal immigrant caught trespassing into the United States through the southern border, revealed he was here to “make a bomb.” Federal court documents revealed that a member of the terrorist group Hezbollah told law enforcement agents that he was planning to make a bomb in the U.S. after illegally entering the country through the Texas border. According to a March 19 federal court document, Basel Bassel Ebbadi spent many years training with the Hizballah terrorist group and, focusing on "jihad" and “was taught to kill people who were not Muslim.” In a criminal complaint, Border Patrol agent Jose Benitez-Medina...

At least 40 people were killed and more than 100 injured when five gunmen dressed in camouflage opened fire with automatic weapons at people at a concert in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow, in one of the worst such attacks on Russia in years. Flames leapt into the sky and plumes of black smoke rose above the venue, Reuters pictures and video showed. Russian media reported a second blast at the venue and there were reports that some of the gunmen had barricaded themselves somewhere in the building. ... It was not immediately clear who the gunmen were. ...

President Biden was met with a few dozen anti-Israel protesters standing outside his hotel in Dallas, Texas, Thursday morning, threatening to withhold their votes if he doesn’t change his administration’s policies toward the Gaza Strip. The protesters held signs calling for a cease-fire between Israel and the terror group Hamas — which controls the 3-mile-wide Palestinian territory of Gaza — amid humanitarian concerns over Israel’s planned ground invasion of Rafah. They also held signs saying, “In November, we will remember,” alluding to the protest movement threatening to not vote for Biden in 2024. “If we don’t get no justice, you...

Anti-Israel protesters tried to stop the New York Times from rolling out of its Queens printing facility early Thursday — before 124 were later arrested while shutting down the Gray Lady’s Midtown HQ, sources told The Post. The mob first descended just before 1 a.m. on the 300,000-square-foot printing hub in College Point — which also prints The Post — littering the access road to prevent trucks from collecting newspapers for delivery. The protesters — many masked and wearing traditional Palestinian keffiyeh scarves — laid down, linked together with tubes to create a human chain, blocking one of the largest...

U.S. — An attack by a cell belonging to a violent extremist group was averted last week, as terrorists decided against hijacking a plane after finding out it was made by Boeing. The hijacking, which was allegedly planned to be carried out over the weekend, was called off at the last minute after the group of terrorists behind the plot discovered the flight they were targeting was a Boeing 737, which meant everyone on board — including the terrorists — would be in serious danger. "We're not going anywhere near that deathtrap," said terrorist Abu Musab Alwani, who masterminded the...

Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters converged on Amsterdam on Sunday as the Dutch city unveiled the National Holocaust Museum in a ceremony attended by Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Riot police were forced to be deployed to hold back over 2,000 anti-Israel protesters as they attempted to march on the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam during the opening of the new National Holocaust Museum.

This story might give you the urge to look out your window to see if winged pigs are flying around outside. The United Nations has finally acknowledged that Hamas terrorists raped and sexually abused Israeli women during and after its October 7 surprise attack on Israel. When reports first surfaced detailing numerous examples of sexual abuse against female hostages, the United Nations shied away from chiming in on the matter altogether. Its leaders attempted to ignore the revelations, instead choosing to focus on castigating Israel’s government for its effort to eliminate the Hamas threat in Gaza. But now, after a...

JERUSALEM —As Joe Biden pushes to empower the Palestinian Authority .. the PA has committed tens of millions of dollars for terrorists who were killed or captured while carrying out Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel and the resulting war. Since Oct. 7, the PA has doubled down on its longstanding "pay for slay" policy, which gives salaries and benefits to Palestinians imprisoned for involvement in violence against Israel and to the families of those killed in "the revolution" against the Jewish state. The policy does not distinguish between terrorists and civilians. But based on Israel Defense Forces estimates...

When Hamas decided to drag the entire population of the Gaza Strip into another war with Israel on October 7, it did not care what would happen to Palestinian civilians. If the hostages were indeed held in an apartment of a Palestinian family, this shows that Hamas has no problem placing Palestinian civilians in harm's way. Consequently, Hamas has no right to complain about the death of civilians in the war it initiated against Israel while it uses its own people to hold innocent kidnapped Israelis. Hamas leaders leading lavish lives in Qatar and Lebanon do not care about the...

Are Leftists stupid, ideologically blind, or just preying on the stupidity/ignorance of young people? It's probably some combination of all three, I suppose. There are plenty of really smart Leftists who are ignorant; most Leftists think of people with whom they disagree as evil or stupid, and ideological blindness is a characteristic that describes most Leftists. Then, of course, there are just plain evil people who sell nonsense to these other groups whom they consider useful idiots, in the way Stalin used Westerners who wanted to believe in communism. NEW: Keffiyeh-donning gay activists in Seattle have declared a “homosexual intifada.”It...

Though the House of Representatives narrowly approved his impeachment, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas told Kristin Welker of NBC's "Meet The Press" that "I have no regrets for anything that's happened on my watch. I have maintained all along that this country needs the millions of refugees that we have helped come into the country since President Biden took office." "Let's look at what we've gained," he suggested. "Hotel vacancy rates in some of our largest cities have plummeted. Many of these businesses were hit hard by the COVID lockdowns and were facing bankruptcy. Now with the government paying...

A UN Security Council report has found that since the Taliban resumed ruling Afghanistan in 2021, the country has returned to being a shelter for terrorist organizations.. The al-Qaeda terrorist organization is having a resurgence in Afghanistan under the ruling Taliban, setting up eight new training camps alongside five madrasas, Islamic educational institutions, around the country, a report from the UN Security Council in late January has revealed. The report said that the training camps are located in various provinces, including Ghazni, Laghman, Parwan, and Uruzgan. It also listed sites used by al-Qaeda to move its operatives in and out...

ON FEBRUARY 28, 1974, Tony Shafrazi walked into the Museum of Modern Art in New York and spray-painted kill lies all in red across the achromatic surface of Picasso’s Guernica (1937), in protest of United States atrocities in Vietnam. The next day, his action appeared on the front page of the New York Times, as he had intended: Shafrazi had notified news agencies in advance. On October 14, 2022, nearly 50 years later, Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland walked into the National Gallery in London, opened a can of tomato soup, and splattered it across glass protecting Van Gogh’s Sunflowers...
