Hamas leader Oct 24, 2023: We will do 10/7 again and again!

Dr. Rich Swier  Hamas leader Oct 24, 2023: We will do 10/7 again and again! 

"Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad openly vows to violate any future cease-fire and repeat the October 7 massacre over and over until Israel is wiped off the map and Jews disappear.

" 'We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again. The Al-Aqsa Flood is just the first time. There will be a second, a third, a fourth, because we have the determination and the capabilities to fight.

"Will we pay a price? Yes – and we are ready to pay it.”

"This is what Israel is dealing with. This is the “peace partner” the world wants Israel to negotiate with!"

We argue that Israel is not in the Gaza area but that is not his point. The occupation he considers is Israel itself being on Arab land . TD

Wisconsin Governor Proposes Replacing the Word ‘Mother’ With ‘Inseminated Person’

RTM  

"The woke language is out of control. I have found a large number of articles, including @Google AI that refuse to refer to pregnancy in WOMEN and simply saying pregnant persons. It’s absolutely ridiculous and degrading. Only women get pregnant and they need to get back2 reality" From Comments to this post.

"Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers has proposed a controversial change to state law that would replace terms like “mother” with “inseminated person” and “paternity” with “parentage.”

"This proposal, introduced as part of the 2025-2027 state budget, has sparked strong backlash, particularly from conservatives.

"Under the proposed changes, several other traditional terms would be replaced in legal language. For example, references to “wife” or “husband” would be swapped with “spouse,” and “father” would be changed to “parent.”

"In some cases, “mother” would be replaced with “parent who gave birth to the child.” The goal, according to the Evers administration, is to promote inclusivity, though many critics argue these changes erase key biological distinctions.

"Dan O’Donnell, a Wisconsin radio host, quickly criticized the proposal, calling it “beyond parody.” His post on X (formerly Twitter) drew the attention of U.S. Senator Mike Lee, R-Utah, who responded with a simple “red flag!” The criticism intensified as others joined in, questioning the need for such changes in state law." . . .

Where have all the ladies gone?

Rob Jenkins 

..."Fortunately, young women today who desire to be ladies, not just vulgar caricatures of the least pleasant men, do have a handful of public role models. Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, and Caroline Leavitt come to mind. You won’t see them shrieking hysterically, pounding the podium while cursing like sailors, or wagging their finger in some other woman’s face like a drunken bimbo at a honky-tonk."...

"For months, on college campuses across the country, we’ve been treated to the sorry spectacle of obnoxious women, mostly young, dressed like vagrants, hurling epithets and bellowing inane slogans like “free Palestine” and “from the river to the sea.”

"Most of them have no idea which river or sea they’re screeching about, nor could they locate Gaza on a map. Or a hair stylist either, apparently.

"Note that I say “women,” not “ladies,” which these insufferable harridans decidedly are not. Indeed, at times, the concept of ladylike behavior seems a relic of a bygone era. Perhaps it’s time conservative young women revived it.

"Sadly, with the rise of militant feminism, the word “lady” fell out of favor, cast falsely as "sexist" and "patriarchal." It is neither. Rather, it is a token of respect and a badge of honor. Nevertheless, as someone whom in my day job frequently interacts with women young and old, I long avoided using it in public lest I commit a punishable offense against what we used to call political correctness, now known as “wokeness.”

"Recently, however, following Donald Trump’s return to power and the reemergence of conservatism as a cultural force, I decided the heck with that.

"So couple of weeks ago, I did something I haven’t done in years: I addressed a group of female students as “ladies.” You know what? Not one of them batted an eye. Not one gave any indication she had taken offense. Not one reported me to the dean.

"I regard that as a positive sign. Because not only do I wish to resurrect the word “lady,” I hope to see the virtues it signifies become part of our dominant culture once again.

"Unfortunately, young women these days have precious few role models, not only on campus but also in public life. For example, in a recent speech, Congresswoman Maxine Dexter (D-OR) declared that “we have to f--- Trump.” Whether she was speaking pejoratively or merely confessing her own carnal desire remains unclear." . . .

Illegal Immigration Is Down Under Trump — Can It Last?

American Spectator 

 "Krikorian’s fear is that after a while, Beltway pols and voters will see the border as “all fixed.” And you know what that means: an excuse to stop enforcing a body of law that blue state and local officials spent years ignoring anyway. His remedy: Mandate that employers use E-Verify."

"WASHINGTON — The number of border apprehensions was down in January — 29,116 illegal aliens were apprehended along the border, the lowest number since May 2020.

"In January 2022, the number of southwest border encounters exceeded 150,000.

"The White House calls it “the Trump effect.”

"With the whole world listening, President Donald Trump’s tough-on-immigration-crime rhetoric had a dramatic effect even before he took the oath of office on Jan. 20.

"People who two years ago might have seen crossing the border illegally as a reasonable risk today are faced with a different reality.

"Mark Krikorian, executive director of the pro-enforcement Center for Immigration Studies, noted that past Republican presidential candidates, hand-wringers like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Arizona Sen. John McCain, said they’d enforce immigration law. But they only looked tough compared to Democrats like former President Joe Biden.

"It was doubtful these ghosts of GOP past would exert the muscle needed to arrest and deport serious offenders when they spent so much time jawboning about the need for what they called “comprehensive immigration reform.” That term served as an excuse for the enforcement-lite status quo that often failed to deport repeat offenders.

"Consider Trump’s choice to serve as his border czar: Tom Homan, a Trump administration veteran, and serious law-enforcement professional who doesn’t believe in apologizing for doing his job.

"Homan talks about enforcement. And deporting illegal immigrants.

"Homan doesn’t noodle about the “root causes” of illegal immigration, as former Vice President Kamala Harris used to do after Biden put her in charge of the border.

"Methinks a major root cause is the belief that unauthorized migrants won’t face serious punishment for flouting federal law." . . . More here

In the case of Hamas v. Humanity (are they celebrating this on American campuses?)

Mike McDaniel; American Thinker  . . ."Evidence to be presented for the elimination of the Iranian regime, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Authority at a later time.

"We leave it to God in His wisdom whether to have mercy on their souls. For the preservation of civilization and the defeat of evil, we can only urge their damnation." . . .

"The Bible says: “thou shalt not kill,” doesn’t it? Actually, it doesn’t. The correct translation is “thou shalt not murder.” Our criminal law, the law of all civilized nations, flows from this understanding. It’s always wrong to murder, but killing is often necessary, moral and lawful. This obviously speaks to self-defense but also allows governments to invoke the death penalty and to wage just wars. But are those wars limited to national self-defense, or may governments also destroy demons, enemies of civilization, peoples so depraved, so willingly agents of evil, allowing them to live ensures the suffering and deaths of the good? If it please the Court, I urge the Court to apply the maximum penalty and present evidence for the total elimination of Hamas.

"The first and most obvious exhibit is the unprovoked atrocities of October 7, preceded by decades of unprovoked terrorist attacks on Israel and countless other nationals. This includes the kidnapping and holding hostage of hundreds of Israelis and some Americans and other nationals, and their torture, mutilation, rape and murder while in captivity.

"Hamas, which continues to swear to murder every Jew and infidel, has never honored the terms of any cease fire, and violated such terms on October 7.

"Promising to return the corpses of Shiri Bibas and her two infants—4 and 10 months old--Hamas staged an inhuman spectacle: "

Comment to this post: "I might think the Grand Mufti of Dubai and of Saudi Arabia were more sincere, if Muslims hadn’t committed so many other hellish atrocities. It’s not just Hamas, or even Palestinians more broadly. Who can forget 9/11, or the massacre of over 200 children at the Beslan school in Russia, or the MANY times they’ve run cars into crowds or bombed concerts or sporting events, or thrown acid in women’s faces in London, or stabbed people on the street for no reason (including children).

The list of their crimes against humanity would take hours to write, and their hands are drenched with innocent blood. And perhaps even worse, who can forget the thousands of everyday Muslims dancing in the streets and cheering when they saw videos of these atrocities."

The Lies Are No Longer Uttered with Impunity: Vance’s Speech and Poland’s Crucial Election

American Spectator: Polish leadership lashed out after Vance exposed their hypocrisy. 

  “They can’t censor JD Vance, so they get hysterical and try to shout him down, without asking where he was wrong,” said Dr. Mieczysław Ryba, a professor at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. “The very fact that Tusk reacted to JD Vance’s statement shows that it hurt him.”  

Babylon Bee parody: Europeans Beg JD Vance To
Become President Of Europe

"It is springtime in the West.

"This moment recalls the words of Poland’s Cold War-era philosopher Leszek Kołakowski, who asserted, “Obvious lies uttered aloud with impunity are excellent proofs of the health of the system.” The lies are no longer uttered with impunity, and that’s an indication the liberal order is crumbling.

Vance’s Hard Truths Resonate 

Vice President JD Vance magnified this new reality in his veritable Zeitenwende speech in Munich last week. According to the vice president, Europe is captive to a self-important political class disdainful of its citizens, increasingly willing to stifle their speech and democratic preferences, and militarily reliant on an America that it scorns. None of this is novel in circles critical of liberalism, but Vance asserted it with the gravitas of his office, at a sacred altar of the transatlantic elite — an American Zeitenwende, indeed.

"Though the vice president did not mention Poland in his speech, Poles immediately perceived their country as an implicit target of criticism. His line about “the side in that fight that censored dissidents, that closed churches, that canceled elections,” noted in a Cold War context, particularly fired passions across the Polish political spectrum.

"Recall that the current Polish government has made a mockery of democratic principles after coming to power on a platform dominated by “rule-of-law” rhetoric. Since December 2023, the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk has staged a coup at the public broadcaster, arrested political opponents and Catholic priests, maltreated protesters, and ignored rulings — and even the offices — of judges it finds inconvenient. 

"The EU’s rule-of-law mechanism, currently wielded against sovereigntist governments in Hungary and Slovakia, disappeared instantly after former EU Council President Tusk returned to Warsaw. Tusk has cited the political science doctrine of “fighting democracy,” a concept developed — predictably enough — as a response to the Nazi era in which the European political class perpetually resides. (RELATED: Why Isn’t Poland Smiling?

JD Vance’s Message to European Leaders: Listen to Your People, Don’t Go Hard Left  Victor Davis Hanson

"The so-called libertine, free-loving, open society of Europe is very closed. It’s a one-party system, in the sense that they only allow left-wing views. It’s to the left of the radical American Democratic Party."
