UN Official Says Israel Has No Right to Self-Defense; Is Campus Rage Fueled by Middle Eastern Money?...more

UN Official Francesca Albanese Says Israel Has No Right to Self-Defense   Albanese is not the only U.N. official to make controversial comments about Israel's war on Hamas. Secretary General Antonio Guterres drew condemnation from members of the Israeli government late last month for claiming that Hamas's Oct. 7 attacks on Israel "did not happen in a vacuum," adding that Palestinians have been "subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation."

Bari Weiss: Is Campus Rage Fueled by Middle Eastern Money?  According to a new report, at least 200 American colleges and universities illegally withheld information on approximately $13 billion in undisclosed contributions from foreign regimes.

It is about arrogating power to a movement that threatens not just Jews—but America itself...
It is time to end DEI for good. No more standing by as people are encouraged to segregate themselves. No more forced declarations that you will prioritize identity over excellence. No more compelled speech. No more going along with little lies for the sake of being polite.

Hamas Front CAIR Has Been Operating With Impunity Inside America for 30 Years   After Hamas massacred 1,400 men, women and children in Israel last month, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that the terror group “and its allies” could inspire attacks on Americans “here on our own soil.” He also told the Senate that the FBI is conducting “multiple, ongoing investigations” into people affiliated with the U.S.-designated terrorist group.

What Wray didn’t say is that the FBI has been investigating Hamas’ biggest ally in America for the past 30 years – without filing any charges. Launched in 1994 as a secret front organization to support Hamas, according to declassified FBI wiretap transcripts and FBI testimony, the Council on American-Islamic Relations has, in the decades since, become an accepted member of Washington’s lobbying community. The New York Times and other influential newspapers routinely describe CAIR as a “Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.”

What Hamas did on October 7 was less like flipping on a light and more like turning on a magnet. The atrocity theater of that day didn’t so much reveal antisemitic hatred as energize it—polarizing world opinion, activating its evil elements, and drawing them to Hamas’s side. That was their gambit, and that is their goal.

Montreal synagogue firebombed amid sharp rise in antisemitism   “We are horrified that exactly one month to the day of the atrocities committed by Hamas, someone tried to burn down our house of worship,” said Quebec Regional Director Henry Topas.

The Government Surveillance Reform Act Would Rein in Some of the Worst Abuses of Section 702   While Section 702 was first sold as a tool necessary to stop foreign terrorists, it has since become clear that the government uses the communications it collects under this law as a domestic intelligence source. The program was intended to collect communications of people outside of the United States, but because we live in an increasingly globalized world, the government retains a massive trove of communications between people overseas on U.S. persons. Increasingly, it’s this U.S. side of digital conversations that are being routinely sifted through by domestic law enforcement agencies—all without a warrant.

Unearthed Emails Reveal Extent Of DHS Involvement In Censoring 2020 Election Posts  The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a DHS subdivision, helped create the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), an “information exchange” between researchers, election officials and government agencies established in 2020 to identify and research online election misinformation. However, the EIP routinely flagged content for social media companies to review and suppress with CISA’s awareness, according to the committee’s report.

U.S. Coast Guard Making Drastic Cuts, Citing Recruiting Woes...undermanned by 3,500 enlisted personnel, or almost 10% of its workforce  If the cuts are allowed to go through, the Coast Guard will, the space of two years, have cut their fleet of mid-sized oceanic workhorses by almost 19 percent. And, once the capability is lost, help is not coming anytime soon. Modern replacements, the Offshore Patrol Cutters, are years behind schedule. The first Heritage-class OPC, the future USCGC Argus (OPC-1), is, at best, two years from seeing an operational deployment, and the Stage II Heritage-class cutters may face additional challenges.
Put in naval terms, the Coast Guard cuts are incredibly drastic.

The U.S. Army Gets Desperate, Puts White Men Back In Its Ads   Readers may recall some of the U.S. Army's woke ads in recent years, focusing on diversity, such as this one about a lady soldier who was raised by two lesbians.
Apparently, those ads weren't filling the ranks, so the U.S. Army came out with a new ad featuring a white man.

We see, then, that Johnson’s words are non-threatening and non-militaristic and bespeak a determination to focus upon increased integrity in the halls of government.  Our laws should reflect the cause of righteousness, which resists the siren songs of the lobbyists and the troublemakers who wish to saturate our culture with radical ideologies, wasteful and excessive spending, and extensions of governmental power over a freedom-loving people.  These wholesome and eternal values are the ones he seeks to move forward by being “a Christian.”  He is not a spokesman of an arbitrary and unconstitutional power-grab by faithful Christians.  He wants our land to become a more righteous place and the government to demonstrate greater integrity and consistency with our founding values.  As a Christian, he would resist and overpower power-grabs by the left.

Christian Wedding Photographer Who Declined to Celebrate Same-Sex Marriage Wins Huge Legal Victory   The Virginia Values Act prohibits businesses from discriminating based on sexual orientation and Updegrove argued in the lawsuit that the law aims to “regulate Bob’s views—that marriage should be between a man and a woman—out of existence.” He claimed that under the law he would be unable to publicly state anywhere on his website or business social media that he believes marriage is between a man and a woman, ultimately violating his right to freedom of expression under the First Amendment.

San Francisco's Post-Apocalyptic Hellscape Is on Full Display in This Viral TikTok Video   The San Francisco Chronicle released a map of the wave of retail closures, which this year have included Target, CVS, Starbucks in multiple locations, and more. Office spaces are similarly impacted with the post-COVID work-from-home environment becoming the standard and the city becoming more of a liability for companies to have their employees travel to than a benefit of having them in the office.

Concerns about the impact of the vaccines are not unfounded, as multiple studies have found they have a detrimental effect on sperm count and menstrual cycles, among other things.

Nearly 1-in-4 Americans believe they know someone who died from COVID shot side effects   According to a poll released last week by Rasmussen Reports, 24 percent of Americans believe someone they know died from side effects due to the COVID shot. Forty-two percent said if there were a major class-action lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies for shot side effects, they’d be likely to join.
