Israel Must End The ‘Palestinian’ Charade

Sha'i ben-Tekoa    

"In sum, the Zionists dispossessed no “Palestinian” nation from its imaginary ancient homeland. It was the Jewish people and only the Jewish people that brought the mournful, desolate country back to life."

"It is welcome news that Sweden’s Aid Minister, Benjamin Dousa, has said that Sweden will no longer fund UNRWA, apparently satisfied with Israel’s evidence that it has been a HAMAS front. The Arabs there need not worry, though, because Sweden is going to increase the amount of its aid, only using other agencies.

"Lucky for them. However, Israel could help itself by going further and attacking the very idea that the recipients of UNRWA largesse are “Palestinian refugees” entitled to such aid when there are virtually no refugees among them. And in any case, there is nothing Palestinian about them." . . .

The best and brightest? Really?

. . ."These workers did not want to be caught in the middle of the fighting. Because they were migrants who did not own and did not have to worry about immovable property, they ran behind enemy lines in the belief that the Arab armies would murder all the Jews in a few days. Then, they could run back to loot all the Jews’ property and possessions. (As we saw on October 7, 2023, following the Muslim Brotherhood rapists, torturers, and arsonists, masses of unarmed Muslims followed to loot the possessions of the dead Jews.)

"Unfortunately for the migrants, things in 1948-49 did not work out as the migrant workers had hoped. The neonate Jewish army stopped the Arab invaders, ceasefire agreements were signed, and the migrant workers were caught behind Arab enemy lines, with none of the Arab states taking responsibility for their welfare.

"And why not? Because in the Arab mind, the war was the UN’s fault for allowing the Jews to live free of the Muslim domination that had been in place from the earliest days of Islam. It was the UN’s fault for letting the Jews have their own state. Therefore, held the Arabs, the UN was responsible for the refugees. Ergo, the creation of UNWRA." . . .

Families of Murder Victims Express Outrage, Disbelief at Biden’s Death Row Commutations

Sadly, one article is behind a pay wall; these headlines are for information only.

NY Sun  Families of victims across America are condemning President Biden for undermining the courts and commuting death-row sentences for 37 murderers.

The world’s richest man suggests that the political donations handed out by Bankman-Fried could yield clemency.

  "Elon Musk Would Be ‘Shocked’ If Biden Fails To Pardon Sam Bankman-Fried — but Is Trump a Better Bet for the Fallen FTX Founder?

. . ."Bankman-Fried has also supported Mr. Biden directly. In 2020 he donated more than $5 million to the president’s campaign. Only Mayor Bloomberg, at $56 million, gave more. Bankman-Fried also gave to a political action committee called Future Forward that spent more than $100 million on television advertisements that helped make Mr. Biden the 46th president." . . .

. . ." Mr. Musk and Bankman-Fried have crossed paths before. The FTX founder was reportedly mulling investing billions of dollars to help the Tesla chief executive buy Twitter, though that collaboration fell through. One text message to Bankman-Fried from Mr. Musk that was disclosed in court filings reads simply “Sorry, who is sending this message?”

Pope Francis continues his war on Israel

 Andrea Widburg   

Pope Francis Excommunicates Apostle Paul Over Outdated Views On Women, Marriage (Parody) . . ."The move comes after Pope Francis openly condemned Paul for his biblical statements on the importance of gender roles and traditional marriage." . . .

Babylon Bee

 . . ."Pope Francis’s increasingly openly expressed enmity toward Israel, the world’s only Jewish state, marks a profound break with this tradition and speaks to my personal belief that his values are informed more by Marx than by Jesus." . . . (Emphasis mine; TD

. . ."And then there’s Israel. Although a Jewish nation, Israel gives its citizens full civil rights, regardless of sex, race, religion, etc. This means that there is complete freedom of worship in Israel. Meanwhile, in Gaza and the West Bank, Jews are forbidden, while Christians are either expelled or slaughtered.

"Nevertheless, Francis’s heart is with the Muslims—another Marxist trait.

"Wikipedia nicely summarizes Francis’s statements since October 7:

Francis condemned Hamas’s October 2023 attack on Israel. He also criticized Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip during the Israel–Hamas war, saying that “terror should not justify terror” and describing Israel’s airstrikes as “cruelty, this is not war.” He condemned the killing of two Palestinian Christian women by an IDF sniper in Gaza, calling it “terrorism”. Throughout the war, Francis has called for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and the establishment of a two-state solution. He has communicated with the sole parish of Gaza daily since the start of the war. In November 2024, Pope Francis suggested that the international community should investigate whether Israel’s campaign in Gaza is a genocide of the Palestinian people. [Hyperlinks and endnotes omitted.]

"Francis seems to have missed entirely (a) the fact that Hamas has fired over 10,000 rockets at Israel’s civilian centers since October 7, (b) that Israel has gone to extraordinary lengths to protect and feed Gaza’s civilian population, a population that overwhelmingly supports Hamas's openly expressed genocidal intentions toward Israel, and (c) that the casualty figures out of Gaza are all lies.

"Undeterred by facts, the Pope has now accused Israel of “machine-gunning” children in Gaza:

“Let us pray for a ceasefire on all war fronts, in Ukraine, the Holy Land, in all the Middle East and the entire world, at Christmas,” the pontiff said in his weekly Angelus address Sunday. “And with sorrow I think of Gaza, of so much cruelty; of the children machine-gunned, the bombing of schools and hospitals… So much cruelty!” . . .

This is the greatest presidential fraud and deception since Wilson, VDH argues

Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson reacts to administration insiders exposing the 'diminished' president on 'Jesse Watters Primetime.'

Comment: "The real issue is that most of these pardons and other executive actions need to be questioned. Since they were not done by a competent individual! Who’s running the country??"

"Joe is cogent! Sharp as a tack!"  Gaslighting made manifest for all to see.

Malmedy Massacre - What Happened? Rare Original Film (WW2 Documentary)

Battle Guide  "On 17th December 1944 Hitler’s famous ‘Last Gamble in the West’ was one day old. Leading the northernmost of his westwards thrusts through the Ardennes were the SS troops of Kampfgruppe Peiper. Blocked and slowed at every turn by determined American defenders, they exacted a horrific toll on any who fell into their hands. This is the story of just one such event during the Battle of the Bulge, which took the name of the Malmedy Massacre."

Them drones, them drones; "We are currently in the "scare them with uncertainly" phase."

What to make of all these drones -- and the U.S. response?  "The CNN headline read: “Drones continue to buzz over US bases. The military isn’t sure why or how to stop them.”

"That seems odd … if not unbelievable … as the U.S. military is the most advanced and lavishly funded in the world.

"Yet it appears that every government department/agency/entity is entirely clueless and pointing fingers at every other government department/agency/entity.

"The article supporting the headline noted that the drones’ “…intent could be anything from attempting to gather intelligence on the base or testing its defenses and response time, to gaining a better understanding of how the bases work …”

"If their intent is to gather intelligence on the bases and those that run them, the intelligence they gather might indicate that there is no intelligence on those bases, given the news.

"In testing their defenses, they would have discovered there is no apparent defense.

"Testing their response time would have yielded the realization that there has been no response at all, forget about time." . . .

Flying Drones Over NJ;  I will not be the one to criticize the Army if tomorrow they set up anti-aircraft batteries in New Jersey.   . . ."Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew does not share Biden’s extreme calm, and he made it clear on Twitter: “Iran’s militarized drone carrier vanished from port between Nov. 12 and Nov. 28, right around when the drones started appearing. It’s our responsibility to at least investigate any potential connection to what is happening in New Jersey. We need answers." . . .

Biden: Commutations For Murderers, Persecutions For Normal Americans

The American Spectator  "We cannot get rid of this disgusting failure of a president, and the faceless unelected handlers who silently run the country in his name, fast enough."  

"But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted."

. . ."His “conscience” stops short of doing the most flagrantly unpopular things, though. That’s how rigid his “conscience” is.

"Where are the commutations for the Jan. 6 protesters, Joe? Contra your pals in the legacy corporate propaganda press, none of them killed anybody. Even the handful of them who were “violent offenders” on that day would have been out of jail by now in a sane country. Nobody spends four years in jail for hitting a cop apparently — not unless you followed an FBI informant into the Capitol.

"Where are the commutations for the little old ladies who sang and prayed outside of abortion clinics? Should they not also get clemency from this “man of conscience”?

"Is Biden going to commute any sentences of the dozens of people likely wrongly convicted whose cases are well known?

"Will he halt enforcement proceedings by runaway federal agencies like the SEC against ordinary Americans?

"Or is it just the murderers and rapists that he thinks he can get away with showing mercy to because they aren’t famous?

"We cannot get rid of this disgusting failure of a president, and the faceless unelected handlers who silently run the country in his name, fast enough.

"Merry Christmas to our readers. May Jan. 20 come soon." 

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to (foul) things up.”   

"The New York Times article goes through several paragraphs telling us how opposed Mr Biden is to capital punishment, but all that I see is a man who is opposed to capital punishment as long as it’s not a politically difficult case."

‘Tis the Season of Political Pardons    "Joe Biden just gave his son his Christmas present – a 10-year “get out of jail free” card. But apparently, he’s still caught up in spirit of giving. Politico reports that Joe is considering a raft of pardons for a rogue’s gallery of federal miscreants. It seems our “nobody is above the law” chief executive realizes that those who have undermined our Constitution in service to the Democrat party may need a bit of legal protection from the incoming Trump administration.

"The list of pardon candidates includes such “public servants” as:

• Anthony Fauci, who funded the research that likely created a lethal pandemic, and then lied about the science to cancel our civil liberties in an election year.
• Adam Schiff, who would go into anaphylactic shock if he ever told the truth. He shared confidential information and complete lies with the press to trigger a special counsel investigation – which drove the country into conflict for three years, and found nothing.
• Liz Cheney – who placed her hatred above patriotism and her oath of office. She used her position on the January 6 committee to hide exculpatory evidence and build an anti-Trump narrative that was used to criminally prosecute supporters of MAGA.
• A list of DoJ lawfare practitioners too long to list. They have used their positions as sworn defenders of the Constitution to undermine the civil rights of concerned parents, pro-life protesters, limited government advocates, and political opponents.

"A move by Joe Biden to pardon such bad actors would be highly destructive to the rule of law in general, and the political fortunes of the Democrat party in particular. Not that the latter troubles me." . . .

Proof that the Biden DOJ is not only corrupt but is pure evil   . . ." Biden is a thug who has largely pardoned thugs. Will the country ever recover from the damage done by the Biden administration?  Only time will tell.  Will our fully-Marxist left ever realize how much they have undermined every principle on which America was founded?  They will continue to try to block every aspect of Trump’s agenda they can out of spite.  Our left are a nasty bunch, a cabal of angry bullies.  Biden’s mass pardons, clemencies, and commutations will forever be a blot on his already horrendous legacy.  For more information on who has received pardons, see the links below.   “Meet the Monsters” released by Joe;" . . .More here...

It Turns Out That Purple-Haired Lady Screaming About 'President Elon Musk' Is a Powerful Dem in the House

 RedState

. . ."The circulating social media posts caught the eye of Kim Kavin, co-founder of Fight For Freelancers. Last year, Kavin testified before the House Subcommittee for Workforce Protections to oppose proposed federal regulations that could misclassify and harm millions of independent contractors. Kavin points to DeLauro's role in introducing the Worker Flexibility and Small Business Protection Act in 2020, which adversely impacts freelance and independent contracting workers under the same criteria used in California's disastrous law, AB5.

"On social media, she wrote of DeLauro:

Some of the lawmakers hollering the loudest right now about federal workers not getting paid if the government shuts down are the same people who have been trying for years to destroy the income and careers of legitimate independent contractors nationwide. Rosa DeLauro proudly tried to take California's horrific failure of a freelance-busting law nationwide.

"DeLauro's long tenure in Congress is another example of the need for term limits for elected officials. Serving more than three decades, the purple-streaked, jazz-hands DeLauro has accumulated significant power for her progressive causes in her decades-long climb of influence. DeLauro may seem like just another fiery Democrat on the surface, but she's one of the most entrenched figures in Congress." . . .

No Daniel Pennys: Migrant sets woman on fire in New York subway as cops bumble and Gov. Hochul touts making subway 'safer'

Monica Showalter  

"hakeemjeffries, this happened in your district. You and your fellow Leftists paved the way for such behavior by excusing people like Jordan Neely while condemning heroes like Daniel Penny. Sickening."

"In a grotesque confluence of all the horrid doings in wokester New York City, a Guatemalan migrant brazenly set a woman on fire in broad daylight in the New York subway just to watch her burn, and no Daniel Pennys came forward to stop the barbaric crime.

"According to the New York Post:

. . ."It's hard to believe anyone could do this to another human being, setting her on fire, just because.

But the individual who is accused of doing it, is reportedly an illegal border surger from Guatemala, probably let into the country under Joe Biden's catch and release, as a gotaway, or through some kind of skeevy migrant parole program as an "asylum seeker." He may have had his case dismissed as so many millions have." . . .

. . ."It was a stark reminder that the subways are worse than ever, with unvetted illegals still roaming the city and the population now cowed from stepping in and stopping monsters.

"New Yorkers voted for this, but not all of them. Incidents like this should galvanize the impetus for change to come -- or there will be more of it."

Drunk, Insane Illegal Alien Sets Woman On Fire in NYC Subway, Burning Her to Death  . . ."Officials said the 33-year-old suspect came to the US in 2018 from Guatemala. He was detained by border patrol agents in Arizona in June of that year, sources said. His legal status wasn’t immediately clear Sunday night.

"He received a transit summons in May 2023, but his criminal record in New York City was largely clean otherwise, sources said. He was living at a shelter on Randall’s Island at the time of the infraction.

"Horrifying video obtained by The Post showed the suspect calmly looking on as flames consumed the still-unidentified woman, who stood inside the open subway car door." . . .

How Barack Obama Built an Omnipotent Thought-Machine, and How It Was Destroyed

Tablet Magazine   

"As for Barack Obama, I will admit that I wasn’t sure I’d ever see him face the consequences of his own arrogance, obsession with personal power, and efforts at vanquishing the exceptionalism that makes this country different from every other one."

. . ."Parallel to the collapse of the new regional order that Obama decreed for the Middle East has been the collapse of the Obama-led domestic order at home. The coincidence marks the end of Obama’s pretensions to be a new kind of world leader, running a new world order of his own making from his iPhone, grounded in his own strange combination of nihilism and virtue-mongering.

"In fact, it can be argued that there is no coincidence here at all, since the division between Obama’s program abroad and his role at home is largely artificial. At its core, Obama’s Iran deal was an attempt to remake the Democratic Party in his own image, by establishing fealty to the ayatollahs as a litmus test for the party faithful—thereby elevating third-worldist “progressive” POC elements within the party at the expense of Jews, who undermined the premises of DEI ideology by doing well on standardized tests and making money and who were annoyingly loyal to Bill and Hillary Clinton, Obama’s rivals for control of the party. Conversely, the recent disintegration of Obama’s world-building project in Middle East has helped to further collapse his mystique, by showing that his grand vision for America’s role in the world was founded on sand. If Obama the global strategist is clearly a failure, and his hand-picked successors at home were a senile old man and a babbling idiot, then the country’s corporate elite and tech oligarchy might rightly question the wisdom of continued payoffs to Obama’s Chicago-style Democratic machine and make peace with Donald Trump instead. Which they did.

"The same warning still stands, though. Just as America was unlikely to become a better place by letting White House aides manufacture “public opinion” through their laptops and iPhones, and license fact-free virtue campaigns on nearly every subject under the sun, from the wisdom of “gender-affirming” surgeries for children to defunding the police, it is also unlikely to become a better place if the right uses the same machinery to advance its own wishful imaginings, by costuming themselves in the robes of foreign churches while trumpeting the wonders of secret alien space technology and bemoaning the evils of the Allied side in World War II. In fact, the two groups share a great deal in common with each other, starting with their visceral dislike for the idea of American uniqueness. Exceptionalism is the master narrative of American greatness, and today its only true defender seems to be Donald Trump." . . .

Whatever it is, Trump and Musk Demolish the Obama Hallucinatory Permission Structure

Obama promotes the term 'permission structure'

Biden commutes death sentences of child killers and mass murderers 2 days before Christmas

"Despite the spree of controversial actions, Biden has outraged cannabis activists by thus far failing to honor his 2019 campaign pledge to release “everyone” in prison for marijuana. Instead, just before the 2022 midterm elections, he announced a mass pardon for people convicted of simple pot possession — of whom none were in prison, drawing outrage from prisoners who called it a “slap in the face.”"

 

NY Post   "President Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 men on federal death row — a list that includes at least five child killers and several mass murderers — while leaving off three notorious fiends.

"In the stunning act of clemency just two days before Christmas, Biden, 82, gave the reprieve to some of the nation’s most violent murderers — nine of whom were found too dangerous to live after butchering fellow inmates — as part of his effort at “ensuring a fair and effective justice system,” the White House said." . . .

“ 'Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss,” Biden said in a statement.

“ 'But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”

"Biden, who opposes the death penalty, lowered each of the 37 sentences to life in prison without parole. He did not say why specifically he considered the original penalties unjust.

"Among those receiving the holiday cheer is Thomas Sanders, who in 2010 kidnapped and then shot 12-year-old Lexis Roberts four times and cut her throat in Louisiana — days after the girl watched as Sanders murdered her mother on a road trip near the Grand Canyon." . . .

Lexis Roberts was killed by Thomas Steven Sanders
 on Sept. 8, 2010.
