Douglas Murray PREDICTS This Is A Turning Point For The Western World

JNS TV

How did the western world fail this moral challenge?

From the comments to this video: "God bless Douglas Murray for his courage to always tell the truth. Please God protect him!"

"People need to understand that the globalists who are pulling the strings are using Islam to undermine Western cultures, freedoms and values. We're dealing with absolute evil here, not mere politics. This is a battle for the soul of humanity."

"In the traumatic months following October 7, a few voices alleviated my feelings of total loss, and Douglas Murray was the main voice. A year ago I also had the pleasure to see and hear him in person in Tel Aviv. what had a giant effect on me - and other people - was the authentic love that he has for us, that goes beyond the intellectual analysis, the incredible warmth emanating from him. An experience I will never forget"

Trump’s Bold Gaza Peace Plan Is an Offer Hamas Can’t Veto

American Greatness  "Trump’s 20-point Gaza Peace Plan, backed by Arab states and Israel, could rebuild Gaza and sideline Hamas—even if Hamas rejects it."

Proposal Approved By Trump, Netanyahu: All You Need To Know

"Although it appeared, as this article went to print, that Hamas would not accept President Trump’s historic 20-point Gaza Peace Plan without substantial changes, the beauty of this plan is that it may bring peace to the Middle East and initiate a process to rebuild Gaza, regardless of what Hamas decides. This is because, due to President Trump’s leadership, Arab states, the Palestinian Authority, and Israel support this plan; the war will soon end, and a process to rebuild and secure Gaza will proceed, even if Hamas rejects the plan.

"Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar support the 20-point plan. Even the Palestinian Authority (PA), which rejected previous peace plans as insufficient, has accepted this plan. European states have voiced their support. Although the Israeli government is uncomfortable with some provisions of the plan, it has accepted it.

"Some of the provisions of the 20-point plan are similar to previous plans that failed due to Hamas’s opposition. The plan calls for a cease-fire, the release of all hostages held by Hamas, and the release of almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Hamas will be disarmed and its weapons will be destroyed. Hamas will be barred from playing any role in the future governance of Gaza. Hamas members who pledge to live peacefully and support coexistence with Israel will be offered amnesty. Those who refuse will be provided safe passage out of Gaza.

"The plan includes some new ideas involving Israeli concessions that address previous stumbling blocks. Israel will not annex the Gaza Strip, and Israeli troops will gradually withdraw and be limited to a perimeter presence.

"A temporary international stabilization force will be deployed in Gaza to oversee security, demilitarization, and reconstruction in Gaza following a ceasefire and the disarmament of Hamas. This force will reportedly be staffed mainly by troops from Gulf Arab states. A Palestinian Authority police force will eventually be deployed after the PA is reformed and deradicalized.

"A Board of Peace will be established as a temporary international oversight body to manage Gaza’s transitional governance and redevelopment. President Trump will chair this board. Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair will be a prominent member. Arab and European members will join them. The board will eventually be dissolved and replaced by the PA after it undergoes substantial reforms and deradicalization." . . .

The peace agreement involves commitments and pledges by the Hamas Muslims.

Cracker Barrel dumps San Fran-based consulting firm behind beloved eatery’s disastrous rebrand

Ah. San Francisco.

bizpacreview  

"The brand “refresh” blew up when angry customers took to social media to share complaints about the new decor, vowing not to return. The botched overhaul even got the attention of President Donald J. Trump, a man who knows a thing or two about running a successful business."

"Cracker Barrel is ending its partnership with the San Francisco-based consulting firm behind the beloved restaurant chain’s rebrand, an unmitigated catastrophe that will be taught in business schools for decades as a cautionary lesson.

"Long known for its down-home country style vittles, rustic decor and family-friendly dining atmosphere, the chain inexplicably chose to break what was working by overhauling restaurants to instead feature a soulless modern look and banishing “Uncle Herschel,” an elderly man resting his arm on a barrel, from its logo. These moves sparked a customer backlash and may have done permanent damage to a brand that had endured for 55 years.

"On Thursday, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. said that it would no longer be working with Prophet, the consulting and marketing firm that it brought in to engineer the failed “refresh,” which was a part of a “three-year strategic plan to update its brand,” The Wall Street Journal reported." . . .More

Ted Cruz brands Mamdani as a ‘jihadist’

 Nicole Haas; BPR

If you believe peaceful, nonviolent Hamas was attacked by Israeli civilians with the aim of wiping out that entire population then you will like Mamdani. If you stand by the opinion that Jews would choose to become Nazis, Mamdani is your man. TD

"Republican Senator Ted Cruz did not mince words when talking about a proposed stock exchange based in his home state of Texas, and the “jihadist radical” who’s poised to be the next mayor of New York City.

" 'Texas wins SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] approval for a new stock exchange that will challenge the New York Stock Exchange up here in the blue state of New York,” Larry Kudlow said Wednesday night on Fox Business’s “Kudlow”.

“ 'And here’s another one for you. You may have seen it in the paper. JPMorgan, the great banking operation, has now more employees in Texas than it does in New York. And of course, we’re about to elect a socialist mayor.

“ 'Look, what’s happening is, New York is run by crazy people,” Cruz began.

" '[Zohran] Mamdani, if he’s elected, is a Marxist. And you are going to see people who believe in free enterprise, people who believe in property rights, people who don’t want a jihadist radical who wants to defund the police fleeing New York City and coming, many coming to Texas,” he continued before predicting a brighter outlook for the stock exchange based in Texas.

" 'Look, I think the Texas Wall Street or colloquially known as ‘Y’all Street,’ which can I think is pretty funny, I think that’s gonna be a powerhouse that if you wanna go and not have a woke stock exchange trying to impose political ideology on you but, instead, simply have an avenue to raise capital, Texas is gonna be the place to do it.”

"Cruz is not alone in his harsh assessment of Mandani. In September, Steve Bannon warned that Mamdani is “not a socialist” nor “populist” as he tries to portray himself, but a “Marxist” and “jihadist.” . . .   More...

Chinese-owned farmland next to 19 US military bases in ‘alarming’ threat to national security

 NY Post   "China has been buying up strategically placed farmland next to military installations across the US, raising national security fears over potential espionage or even sabotage. The Post has identified 19 bases across the US from Florida to Hawaii which are in close proximity to land bought up by Chinese entities and could be exploited by spies working for the communist nation. They include some of the military’s most strategically important bases: Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) in Fayetteville, North Carolina; Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) in Killeen, Texas; Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California, and MacDill air force base in Tampa, Florida. Robert S. Spalding III, a retired United States Air Force brigadier general whose work focuses US-China relations told The Post: “It is concerning due to the proximity to strategic locations." . . .

“It is alarming we do not have laws on the books that would prevent the Chinese from buying property in the US.”

"Under the guise of farming, the Chinese landowners could set up reconnaissance sights, install tracking technology, use radar and infra-red scanning to view bases or attempt to fly drones over them as ways to surveil military sites, sources told The Post.

"A report in the Wall Street Journal from September 2023 found Chinese intruders attempted to breach military facilities over 100 times in recent years, including sneaking onto a missile range in New Mexico and scuba divers spotted near a government rocket-launch site in Florida.

"The threat the Chinese government poses to America is huge, with the FBI labelling it a “grave threat” and director Christopher Wray saying in April hackers have made their way into US critical infrastructure and are waiting “for just the right moment to deal a devastating blow” and “physically wreak havoc.' ” . . .   More...

Grieving families’ fury exposes Democrats’ grotesque gaslighting on violent crime

Jennifer Harrison NY Post 

 "Yet just as we saw in New York, House Democrats in Charlotte did not come to listen with empathy or humility. They came armed with talking points and political spin, determined to discredit grieving parents and loved ones, and to invalidate the raw truth of what these families endure every single day."

"On Monday, as I watched the House Judiciary Committee convene its field hearing on violent crime in Charlotte, NC, it all came rushing back.

"In April 2023, I testified before that same committee here in New York, in a hearing made necessary by the disastrous progressive policies implemented by a George Soros-funded district attorney and the state’s “soft-on-crime” laws.

"I spoke both as a survivor of homicide — the love of my life was murdered decades ago — and as an advocate who has worked alongside countless other victims of violent crime ever since.

"My words were not about politics, but about life and death.

"Two years later, House members convened in Charlotte for the very same reason, in the wake of the horrific light-rail slaying of Iryna Zarutska.

"Families shattered by murder and violent crime came to share their stories. Their words were gut-wrenching, their pain undeniable." . . .

. . . "Logan Federico, Mary Collins, Iryna Zarutska, the list goes on. Do their lives not matter?

"Consider what these families brought into that hearing room.

"Steve Federico broke down as he described his daughter Logan being dragged out of bed, naked, shot in the head — perhaps praying in her final moments that her father, her hero, would burst in to save her.

"How could any human being listen to that man and then dismiss him with a talking point?"...  More...

Mamdani’s plan for disciplining cops exposes his anti-blue bigotry

 NY Post  

In short, Mamdani’s “reform” would be yet another reason for every officer to leave the NYPD, whether via retiring as soon as possible or finding a cop job somewhere else. 

"Zohran Mamdani just offered fresh proof of his deep anti-cop bigotry with his call to shift key powers to discipline officers to the Civilian Complaint Review Board.

It’s a terrible fix for a problem that doesn’t exist — and one that would lead to worse policing, and so more crime; it would likely even produce a force with far more bad cops.

“What I would do is ensure that the recommendations of the CCRB be understood to be the final voice of the question of accountability,” Mamdani says — without pointing to any actual bad results of the current law, which gives final say to the police commissioner.

Anti-blue prejudice is hard-wired into the board. Nearly half its members are chosen by the bitterly anti-policing City Council and cop-hating Public Advocate Jumaane Williams; the staff leans heavily left, too.

And the CCRB incorporates anonymous tips into its files on individual officers — an open invitation for gangs and other criminal organizations to smear cops who are actually too good at their job.

Transgender Ideology Killed Charlie Kirk and It’s Destroying America

Joseph Ford Cotto  

"The menace of transgender ideology cannot be wished away. It must be named, challenged, and defeated—for the sake of truth, for the sake of justice, and for the sake of America not going the way of self-destruction. Charlie Kirk knew the stakes. Now the rest of America must know them too." JFC

"Charlie Kirk is dead. Americans must face why.

"His murder was not random, not confusing, not detached from the battles he fought so fiercely in life. It was the direct consequence of his bold refusal to bend before one of the most aggressive and destabilizing ideologies of our time: transgender radicalism.

"For years, Kirk warned about the dangers of this movement. Not just its cultural consequences, but the deeper crisis of mental illness and violence it has unleashed across the nation. In the end, his voice was silenced by precisely the pestilence he spent his career opposing.

"The facts are painfully clear. On Sept. 13, 2025, police captured Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old suspect in Kirk’s murder, after a tense 33-hour manhunt that spanned cities and involved local law enforcement working with the FBI. Robinson had been living in a shared apartment in Saint George, Utah, with roommates, including Lance Twiggs, a young man “transitioning” from male to female.

"The shooting itself occurred two days earlier, during Kirk’s “American Comeback” speaking tour at Utah Valley University in Orem, south of Provo. Kirk was engaging with students on subjects including gun violence and transgender issues when he was struck in the neck by a sniper’s bullet. Moments before, a student had asked him about the number of transgender mass shooters over the past decade.

"The irony was crushing: a man known for exposing the dangers of transgender activism was gunned down in the very event he addressed the link between that ideology and violence." . . .

New: FBI Director Patel Lops Off Comey-Era Ties With ADL –

 RedState   

"The fact is, referring to TPUSA as an "extremist and hate" group is nothing short of ridiculous; the FBI shouldn't be listening to such people."

"FBI Director Kash Patel has been making some pretty serious changes at the embattled FBI. DEI is out, real police work is in, and the FBI is no longer to be making common cause with people who don't like America very much. Case in point: The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which once listed Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA in its "Glossary of Extremism and Hate." 

"Former FBI Director James Comey embarrassed himself slobbering all over the ADL. Now, according to a Fox News exclusive, Director Patel is showing them the door - and booting them through it.

FBI Director Kash Patel is cutting ties with the Anti-Defamation League that the bureau forged under its former boss James Comey.

"James Comey disgraced the FBI by writing ‘love letters’ to the ADL and embedding agents with an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization and the disgraceful operation they ran spying on Americans. That was not law enforcement, it was activism dressed up as counterterrorism, and it put Americans in danger," Patel told Fox News Digital.

"That era is finished. This FBI formally rejects Comey’s policies and any partnership with the ADL," he added.

"It's certainly not an overreaction to note that Comey slobbered all over the ADL, either.

On May 8, 2017, Comey addressed the Anti-Defamation League National Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. and declared his and the FBI's "love" for the organization. He began by referencing a 2014 speech which he called a "love letter to the ADL," adding, "Three years later I can say, from the perspective of the FBI, we’re still in love with you."

"We are not only educating ourselves, we are working with the ADL to build bridges in the communities we serve," Comey said in his 2017 speech. 

"For more than 100 years, you have advocated for fairness and equality... And for all of that, we are grateful. As a law enforcement and national security agency, yes. But also as Americans. As humans," Comey said.

He concluded his speech with the words, "Love, the FBI." . . .  More...

Remember Obama's Vindictive shutdown?

 Remember Obama's Vindictive shutdown? 

"While there may be parks where a shutdown poses a genuine threat to visitor safety and security, the administration has carried the shutdown to vindictive lengths, inviting these instances of peaceful civil disobedience around the country. "

 

"As the sun came up over Washington on Monday, National Park Service workers were busy replacing barricades around the National World War II Memorial.

The previous ones, erected ostensibly because of the government shutdown, had been removed by peaceful protesters over the weekend.

Using the supposedly scant resources of the federal government to re-erect barriers around an open-air memorial on public land in this way trumped even the original placement of the barriers in ridiculousness. It also came a day after police in riot gear were dispatched to guard against the protesters — many of them elderly or disabled veterans — who traveled to the nation’s capital to express their displeasure at what they saw as a politically motivated abuse of power by their government.

Welcome to the government shutdown, Obama-administration style. The government has shut down 17 times since the modern budgeting process took effect in 1976, according to The Washington Post. But this time is different, under a president who puts politics before all else. There simply is no reason to close many parks and memorials that never are under lock and key to begin with, especially since it requires more manpower to “close” them than to keep them open.

Both political parties share blame in the current budget impasse, which began Oct. 1. But after announcing weeks in advance that he would flatly refuse to negotiate, President Barack Obama has proceeded to use American citizens, from schoolchildren to elderly veterans, as pawns in his battle with Congress.

This playbook is familiar. After an earlier failure of leadership that led to the sequester cuts, Obama halted White House tours and cut back the number of air-traffic controllers at major airports. The administration’s efforts proved too ham-handed even for his hometown paper, the Chicago Tribune, which slammed “the stunt pilots in the Obama administration” for making a “terrible miscalculation” in encouraging the Federal Aviation Administration’s “phony crisis.” It was easily resolved through Congress authorizing the FAA to shift around money — something the president could have championed himself, had he wanted to.

A number of outrageous stories have emerged from the parks shutdown. At Yellowstone National Park, a tour group composed largely of senior citizens from around the world was kept in lockdown in a park hotel under armed guard after the shutdown went into effect. They were told they could not take photographs of wildlife outdoors. When they were allowed to leave, their bus was not permitted to stop during the 21/2-hour trip out; they were even prohibited from stopping at private bathroom facilities." . . . More...

Why Trump Wants to Ban the Muslim Brotherhood – And Why America Should Care

 Kim Ezra Shienbaum and Jamal Hasan  

"The way forward is simple. When “charity” is a mask for jihad, it is not charity. When “outreach” is designed to conquer, it is not dialogue. America cannot afford to keep pretending otherwise."

"When Americans consider “charity” they picture their contributions providing clothing for the poor or food for the hungry. When they hear the word “missionary" they picture Christians going abroad to save souls. However, these terms mean very different things to the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that President Trump has twice attempted to label as terrorist. In radical Islamist teaching, zakat (charity) is not simply about helping the poor; it is about advancing Islam. The aim is to expand the ummah -- the worldwide Muslim community -- through dawah (proselytizing).

"Americans are right to be deeply concerned about what is happening in our own country. Radical Islam is now embedded here at home, cloaked in citizenship and political power.

"In Dearborn, Michigan, the city’s Muslim mayor publicly berated a Christian pastor -- one of his own constituents -- labeling him “Islamophobic” and declaring him unwelcome in Dearborn. The pastor’s supposed offense? A respectful protest at a City Council meeting against renaming a major road after an open supporter of terrorism.

"In Washington, D.C., one of President Trump’s rare outings to a local restaurant was disrupted by protesters waving “Free Palestine” placards in the streets. Months earlier two civilians were gunned down at a public event by yet another pro-Palestinian agitator repeating the same slogan.

"And who can forget October 8, 2023 -- the day after Hamas terrorists butchered Israeli families in their homes? Before Israel could even count its dead, or bury its bodies, America’s elite universities -- including Columbia -- erupted in demonstrations supporting Hamas." . . .

. . . "And Obama and Biden hosted CAIR at the White House. All the while, their own documents -- seized in FBI raids -- describe their mission in America as a “civilizational jihad,” designed to “destroy Western civilization from within.” . . .
