How the ‘Neutral’ UN Is Helping Hamas Oppress Gazans and Fool the World   Every day this week, hundreds of U.N. trucks stacked with pallets of humanitarian aid have exited Israeli-patrolled routes and rumbled into population centers across the Gaza Strip, where Israel has implemented daily pauses in military operations.
   Many of the trucks, though traveling under the enhanced Israeli protections introduced on Sunday, have not reached U.N. warehouses, according to Gazans on the ground. Once the trucks have arrived in the population centers, armed Hamas militants have hijacked the cargo, the Gazans said, and what aid has arrived at the warehouses has disappeared into a patronage system controlled by Hamas.

The country is descending into a tribal morass of double standards and racial fixations.
    The diversity/equity/inclusion industry, the Defund-the-Police madness, and the perpetual left-wing hunt for “white racism/white privilege/white rage”—from the prior Pentagon hierarchy to the lunatic fringe of Jasmine Crockett, Joy Reid, and Zohran Mamdani—have all legitimized double standards while lowering the bar of the once unacceptable.
   When our careerist left-wing elites seek to divide us by race and make it essential, not incidental, to our identities, that tribalist message filters throughout communities.

Did Councilwoman Parks mean to imply that she's grateful because it was a white loudmouth taking a beating from a black crowd? Did the woman deserve a dead-eyed concussion just because she was white? Is every instance of black-on-white violence, even against loudmouth jerks, long-delayed racial justice for crimes committed long before any of those involved were born?

Planned Parenthood Caught Falsely Advertising Prenatal Services  This isn’t just sloppy marketing—it’s bait-and-switch. It’s the same deception we caught them using back in 2017. They removed it then. Now it’s back.
   It is clear: Planned Parenthood’s business model isn’t about supporting women, it’s about selling abortions. Taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be funding an organization that continues to mislead the public and manipulate vulnerable women.”

The thing about liberal women is they seem to have deliberately chosen to be ugly, at least in a lot of cases.

By calling for "context," the Chief is softening the culpability of the thugs who beat up a middle-aged couple. And that was the clear intent she had, because nobody wants to confront the fact that black people have been given the message that their violence towards others--including other black people--is excused by the fact that they are part of an "oppressed" class. 
    I will insist to my dying breath that this is a cultural problem and not primarily a racial one--a culture of permissiveness brings out the worst in people, and there have been plenty of cultural contexts that have enabled hideous violence from other racial groups, including white people.

Elon Musk To Cincinnati Police Chief: Clarify "Missing Context" Or Resign  Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge told reporters on Monday that social media users and journalists are "missing context" by shining the spotlight on viral footage of a Black mob attacking White jazz festival partygoers in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. This is the same police chief currently being sued for discrimination, allegedly favoring women and minorities over merit-based criteria when making assignment decisions.

Blue States Try To Stop Trump Admin From Investigating Food Stamp Fraud  A coalition of Democratic attorneys general is waging a court battle to prevent the Trump administration from obtaining food stamp data on millions of recipients, arguing the move is an attack on migrants.
   New York Attorney General Letitia James, joined by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 19 other prosecutors, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Monday to block the Department of Agriculture (USDA) from obtaining personal information on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients, according to court documents.

The thread connecting most of these incidents is that speaking Hebrew in public seemed to enrage some of those hearing it. The excuse of the Gaza War and the belief in Hamas propaganda about it is just a smokescreen. It's like saying, "I'm not an antisemite. I just hate Zionism." 
   Europeans are inventing ever more creative ways to express their antisemitism while still convincing themselves they're civilized Westerners.

Canadian church slapped with $2,500 fine for hosting pro-Trump worship leader Sean Feucht  Feucht issued a statement on X last Thursday claiming anti-Christian sentiment has been simmering in Canada, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. He first rose to prominence for launching his "Let Us Worship" movement in protest of government church lockdowns.
   "Here's the hard truth: If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, claiming to be a woman, the government wouldn’t have said a word. But to publicly profess deeply held Christian beliefs is to be labeled an extremist — and to have a free worship event classified as a public safety risk," Feucht said.

Zeldin to Overturn 2009 EPA Endangerment Finding on 'Greenhouse Gases'   The legal fight is the goal behind Zeldin's upcoming action.

They may want an even broader decision that seriously impedes, if not entirely stamps out, the regulation-by-litigation cycle.

Survey shows nearly one in four Gen Z workers regret college, with men most likely to question its value Nearly one in four Gen Z workers say they regret attending college, with men reporting regret at higher rates than women, according to a Resume Genius survey of 1,000 full-time U.S. employees.
   Although the report emphasizes that college satisfaction rises with education level, it also shows that many with advanced degrees still question the cost.

Democrats Are so Clueless About Men That It’s Hilarious   Here’s the cold, hard truth. You cannot run a political party as a cult for the fringe and expect the mainstream, especially young men who still believe in hard work and fundamental truth, to stomach your nonsense forever. When Democrats choose to cater to purple-haired activists with preferred pronouns, bureaucratic meddlers, and billionaire tech lords, they make it crystal clear who counts and who doesn’t.

The Muslim Brotherhood: A Terrorist Organization That the US Must Designate as One  Designating the Muslim Brotherhood a Foreign Terrorist Organization is vital not only for the national security of the United States, but also for combating Islamist terrorism around the world. If America's Arab allies have reached the conclusion that the Muslim Brotherhood is a dangerous Islamist terror organization, there is no reason why the US and other Western countries should continue to pretend that it is all about charitable and humanitarian work.

How John MacArthur Changed American Preaching 
I suspect that the reason for MacArthur’s popularity was the hunger many people had for expository preaching. MacArthur was certainly not the first expository preacher, nor was he the only one in existence in the 1970s, when his preaching career began taking off. But at the time, expository preaching in the way MacArthur practiced it was not very common in the American evangelical Baptist world, and MacArthur’s version of it was therefore lifechanging for many people who heard it for the first time.

FBI and DOJ Dismantle Massive Dark Web Networks 
Investigators revealed that the dismantled sites included some of the most egregious child exploitation platforms online, featuring sections dedicated to infants, toddlers, and violent content involving sadism and torture. The sites collectively attracted over 120,000 users and had at least 100,000 visits in a single day.Eight defendants were prosecuted and sentenced in the Southern District of Florida alone for running one of the largest of the targeted websites. 

AI models may be accidentally (and secretly) learning each other’s bad behaviors   Artificial intelligence models can secretly transmit dangerous inclinations to one another like a contagion, a recent study found.
   Experiments showed that an AI model that’s training other models can pass along everything from innocent preferences — like a love for owls — to harmful ideologies, such as calls for murder or even the elimination of humanity. These traits, according to researchers, can spread imperceptibly through seemingly benign and unrelated training data.

Manhattan shooter was targeting NFL headquarters, NYC mayor says  A gunman who killed four people at a Manhattan office building before killing himself was trying to target the headquarters of the NFL but took the wrong elevator, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday.
    Investigators believe Shane Tamura, of Las Vegas, was trying to get to the NFL offices after shooting several people Monday in the building's lobby but accidentally entered the wrong set of elevator banks, Adams said in interviews.
    Four people, including off-duty New York City Police Officer Didarul Islam, were killed. Police said Tamura had a history of mental illness, and a rambling note found on his body suggested that he had a grievance against the NFL over a claim that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which can only be diagnosed after someone has died. He played high school football in California nearly two decades ago, but he never played in the NFL. Screenshot

Deadly Persecution of Christians Continues in Africa and Asia  The world is obsessed with repeating falsified statistics and outright lies from Hamas about Gaza, but almost no one in the West seems to care about the persecution of Christians in numerous African and Asian countries — and even in South America.
   From Syria to Nigeria, from India to Sudan, from the DRC to Colombia, from Gaza to China, from Iran to Turkey, and from Pakistan to Indonesia, persecution of Christians is on the rise, with Communism and Islam as the two biggest culprits.

At least 31 young people in Eucharistic adoration were killed late Sunday night during an attack on a Catholic church in the Democratic Republic of Congo Local officials say the armed group responsible was the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an Islamic State affiliate operating in Central Africa.

New Data Shows Arrests of Criminal Illegal Aliens Have Made a ‘Real Impact on Public Safety,’ DHS Official Announces   During the first six months of 2025, homicides fell 17% across 30 U.S. cities when compared with the first half 2024, according to the Council on Criminal Justice, an independent research organization, which has just published its midyear report on crime trends in U.S. cities.  
   In the first six months of 2025, there were “10% fewer reported aggravated assaults, 21% fewer gun assaults, 10% fewer sexual assaults, and 3% more domestic violence incidents” when compared to the time last year, according to the report.

...How have we allowed parts of cities like Chicago to become more dangerous than actual war zones?

-------------------------------------

Here’s Why New Data Finds Continued Enrollment Slide For Public Schools   Finally, the overall culture and spirit of public schools has become increasingly immoral. Many young people from otherwise wholesome households are introduced to a wide variety of obscenity, vice, and nihilism at the typical school. Bullying and harassment go unchecked, kids routinely swear, everyone cheats on their work, most of the boys are addicted to online pornography, most of the girls consume mindless slop on social media, and most teachers are demoralized by idiotic policies that dictate how they’re supposed to teach.
    Normally, this could be counteracted by some good friends and a strong church community, but the screens have severely impaired kids’ social skills, and religious practice is the one thing that public school educators actively discourage. Thus, many classrooms gradually become morally desolate wastelands where children lose their innocence and grow to hate their lives.

The Bad Science and Bad Policy at the Heart of the Climate Movement    Climate policy has been steered into a political cul-de-sac by bad science and bad policy. The bad science can be found in the UN-FCCC’s definition of climate change that is at odds with the scientifically-accurate definition of climate change of the IPCC. The bad policy results from the use of global average temperatures as a proxy for human flourishing, making cost-benefit analyses seem unnecessary or even unhelpful to the political cause.

    But now, with the FDA expressing scepticism that saturated fats are bad for our health, the tide may be turning.

Rifle-toting NYC shooter Shane Tamura kills 5 —including NYPD officer — injures six before turning gun on himself at Blackstone, NFL HQ  A police officer and at least four other people were shot and killed, and several others injured, by a crazed gunman who stormed a swanky Midtown skyscraper early Monday evening — before turning the gun on himself, sources said.
   The 27-year-old maniac, identified by sources as Shane Tamura, barged into the 44-story building — which houses Blackstone and the NFL headquarters — armed with a rifle and opened fire at around 6:30 p.m. during the evening rush, sending workers running for their lives, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Sometime after the election of Barack Obama in 2008, the American Left began exploring, then embracing, and finally enacting agendas that proved not only unhinged and unworkable but also fatal to the left-wing project itself.
   How did the party so alienate the middle classes when it once professed it was the sole party and protector of those in-between? How did the Democratic Congress sink to a 16 percent approval rating in a current liberal Quinnipiac University poll? How could 63 percent of registered voters view the Democrats unfavorably in a recent Wall Street Journal poll?
   In sum: despise the middle class, then lose elections.

Fantastic Four Might Be Hollywood’s Strongest-Ever Pro-Life Movie  The value of life permeates every action and reaction in the film. In the beginning, Reed and Sue don’t seem to have been “trying” anymore for a baby, yet they welcome the surprise news with delight and resolve. Multiple times, characters refer to the unborn son not as an impersonal fetus or a “potential life,” but as a “child.” Using Sue’s invisibility power during an ultrasound, the film even goes so far as to show Franklin in all his humanity in utero.
   At the end, without any expectation that her life would be miraculously saved, Sue doesn’t prioritize the “life of the mother” when two lives are in conflict. Instead, she hurls herself into danger and assumes ultimate risk for a chance at protecting her son. Screenshot

Good news: the American public is increasingly opposed to abortion  The mainstream coverage of the latest post-Roe poll predictably focuses on the fact that a majority of Americans support legal abortion in some or all circumstances. But the new poll also indicates that the percentage of people who believe abortion should be illegal in “most circumstances” or “all circumstances” increased by seven percentage points.

Therefore, based on this data, it can be stated vaccinated individuals were 27 percent more likely to get the flu.
   While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health organizations continue to recommend the flu shot, the Cleveland Clinic study has given pause to many concerned about the efficacy of the shot.

“It is still not well understood why and how the pandemic may have been associated with changes in certain domains of development for children,” they write.
   Really? It’s not well understood why and how the pandemic may be associated with development milestones for children? Really? Not the pointless masking that covered faces and expressions and hampered their ability to learn verbal cues? Not the school closures that stopped their learning and academic growth? Not the lockdowns that forced them to stay home and miss out on valuable socialization and observation? None of it comes to mind when thinking about children and their delayed development during the pandemic?

   With overwhelming public support, the Greek government has passed one of the toughest immigration crackdowns in the European Union’s history. Led by newly appointed Immigration Minister Thanos Plevris, Greece has suspended asylum applications from North African countries, begun mass detentions, and vowed swift deportations of illegal migrants—many of them young Muslim men arriving from Libya, Egypt, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

Appeals court blocks gender identity mandates in adoption: pronouns, pride parade, 'hormone shots'    Oregon deems as unfit prospective parents who won't take young children "to events like pride parades," as ODHS explicitly demanded of Bates, which is "false and incredibly dangerous," Bates's lawyer Jonathan Scruggs of the Alliance Defending Freedom said in celebrating the ruling.

Planned Parenthood Sues In Nevada To Keep Teens’ Abortions Secret From Their Parents  This is not the first time abortion providers and activists have twisted state constitutions to target parents’ rights.

Now, America houses some 15-25 million people (nobody really knows) who live and work in a grey area created by our government signaling that if you come, you can stay, and we will support you. And, they came by the millions only to find most legitimate doors closed to them, frequently employers taking advantage of their cheap labor and even using children for nefarious purposes, even to work in slaughter houses and whore houses.

Over and over again, attorney generals in liberal states list how much money their states receive to provide educational and health care services, and complain that they will no longer be able to function if they are forced to cut off services to illegal aliens. That suggests these health care and educational programs are really primarily servicing illegal aliens.
   The lawsuit by 20 states inverts reality, claiming that cutting off funds to illegal aliens will hurt legal recipients of health and education programs, when it’s exactly the opposite. Americans have been cut off from access to programs because they’ve been overrun by illegal aliens.

However, if the company falls in line and corrects its behavior within 30 days, the cap can be reduced by 50 percent.

This  represented a roughly 40 percent increase over the baseline rate.
