Israel Victory: IDF Eliminates 600 Terrorists, Secures “Elite Quarter” as Hamas Trapped, Forced to Hunt Animals for Food, Losing Sanity [Videos] By Richard Abelson
Dec. 21, 2023 11:15 am – The IDF announced on Wednesday that its troops secured control over Hamas’ “Elite Quarter” in the center of Gaza City, including the area of the ‘Palestine Square’, from where Hamas’ administrative and military leadership operated, Arutz Sheva reports.
The complex includes a large network of tunnels that connects terrorist hideouts, bureaus, and residential apartments belonging to Hamas’ senior leadership. This complex, both above and below ground, was a center of power for Hamas’ military and political wings, Arutz Sheva reports.
The 401st Brigade in the 162nd Division, along with the Shaldag tunnel rats, Yahalom combat engineers and Shayetet 13 special forces, have been operating in Rimal area in Gaza City, where ‘Palestine Square’ is located. The forces carried out a combined and coordinated offensive on ‘Palestine Square’ and took operational control over the area. Over the last few days, the area was completely secured, securing booby traps and removing IEDs. IDF forces eliminated approximately 600 terrorists in both ground and aerial operations, Arutz Sheva reports.
‘Palestine Square’ was a center of Hamas’ military rule and is surrounded by buildings that served as command and control centers, terror tunnel shafts, and strategic buildings belonging to the organization. This military infrastructure was located in the direct vicinity of commercial stores, government buildings, civilian residences, and a designated school for deaf children. The square is the center of the strategic tunnel network of some of Hamas leadership’s strongholds and connects to the underground infrastructure in the area of the Rantisi Hospital and the Shifa Hospital, according to Arutz Sheva.
After the area was secured, a “sweep and clear” operation revealed an underground terrorist city, which is part of Hamas’ tunnel system. Tunnel shafts leading to the network of tunnels are located in the residences and offices of senior officials and allow for a covert descent through designated elevators and stairs. This enabled Hamas operatives to escape or remain in hiding for extended periods. The underground tunnel network includes blast doors and hideouts. Food, water, and electrical infrastructure were found, allowing for prolonged stays.
This network was used by the organization’s senior officials, Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, Muhammad Deif, and others, to direct Hamas’ operational activity. It was also used for protected daily movement through the heart of Gaza City, Arutz Sheva writes.
Hamas also established a specialized workshop for digging and building the underground network in the area. A tunnel shaft used for logistics and tunnel construction equipment, including tunnel walls and concrete arches that make up the tunnel ceilings, were found inside the workshop. Next to the workshop is a shaft 20 meters deep, with descending spiral stairs, as well as a blast door and forks in the tunnel’s pathway. The tunnel shaft was demolished by explosives embedded by Hamas there, and numerous weapons and technological devices were found nearby.
[Ed.: The ‘genocide’ of terrorists! But, you don’t obfuscate the name of your enemy by calling him by his tactic, now do you! You identify the enemy correctly by name first, and then decimate him. This is the only way to win a war and is (pardon the expression,) the ‘final solution’! Hint: the name of the enemy starts with an ‘ I ‘, not a ‘T’. Heaven forbid I should be called an ‘Islamophobe’!]
Epstein didn’t kill himself… TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
DEC 21, 2023 – A Federal judge has ordered more than 150 names linked to Jeffrey Epstein to be unsealed. 3 of the names will remain sealed.
The names of 150 recruiters, associates and “affiliates” of sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell will be made public after the first of the year. This is NOT the client list (little black book) as many pundits are reporting.
The three names that will remain sealed are “classic outsiders peripheral to the events at issue” and weren’t associated with Epstein. One of the three sealed names was wrongly identified in a photo.
The judge described two of the three people whose names will remain sealed — J. Does 58 and 124 — as “classic outsiders peripheral to the events at issue” who are not associated with Epstein and Maxwell. A third, Doe 133, was mistakenly identified in a photo, according to the judge, who noted that Doe was characterized as “an alleged perpetrator” by a reporter.
“This latest release will apparently have limited redactions — and thus possibly fill in some of the lingering questions about who helped Epstein.”
The ruling caps a five-year legal battle by the Miami Herald to obtain documents in a defamation lawsuit filed against Maxwell by victim Virginia Giuffre. The lawsuit was settled out of court in 2016, but much of the evidence in the case was sealed.
Most of the names set to be revealed are people associated with Epstein who are already publicly known, and it’s unclear whether the documents contain any new details about Epstein’s associations. You can bet that the fake news will somehow try to spin this list against Trump. Don’t let them.
Epstein was found hanging by the neck in a New York jail cell in August of 2019 in what was ruled a suicide. Right. Two weeks before he died, documents prove that Epstein insisted he wasn’t suicidal, telling a jail psychologist he had a “wonderful life” and “would be crazy” to end it.
Texas Gov Abbott Begins Flying Illegal Aliens to Sanctuary Cities – First Flight of Illegals Lands in Chicago (VIDEO) By David Greyson
Dec. 20, 2023 6:40 pm – Tends of thousands of illegals have poured into Texas over the last few days on Joe Biden’s open border invitation so Governor Abbott is sending them to blue ‘sanctuary cities.’
According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, Governor Abbott is now flying illegals to sanctuary cities.
The first flight out of El Paso Tuesday afternoon had 120 illegal aliens onboard en route to Chicago’s O’Hare airport.
According to Bill Melugin, the illegals signed voluntary waivers before departing Texas.
The Governor’s office is planning more flights to any sanctuary city which they say is “fair game.”

SHOCKING VIDEO: Melbourne anti-Israel protest riddled with Jew hatred, ignorance By Avi Yemini
Pro-Hamas demonstrators don’t know what countries Israel borders, but are absolutely certain the terrorists are ‘fighting oppression.’
December 20, 2023 – Rebel Australia contributor Leon Kofmansky (KOFY TIME on YouTube, @LK_UAP on X), a former United Australia Party candidate and Orthodox Jew, went undercover at a pro-Hamas rally taking place in Melbourne, Australia on December 17.
Wearing a cap to cover up his kippa, Leon spoke to demonstrators who openly called for genocide against the Jewish population of Israel. Some of these people showed total ignorance about the most basic facts of the conflict, like what countries Israel borders.
The mainstream media wants you to think that these “pro-Palestine” protests are “mostly peaceful.” But is it peaceful for a man wearing a keffiyeh to scream in your face that Jews are committing genocide because they are “evil creatures”? If Jews feel the need to hide their Jewish identity at your event, how peaceful can it be?
Leon asked some participants about the meaning of the chant “from the river to the sea.” One woman said this means “it was always Palestine,” completely erasing any historic connection between the Jewish people and their homeland.
It’s now common for people to wear masks at these protests because they’re scared of being associated with their extremist views. Two of these people told Leon that they support “dismantling” the Zionist state of Israel, or a “one state solution.” One then went on to claim that the Nazis supported the state of Israel in order to get the Jews out of Europe, even though the Nazis were actually allied with the Palestinians during World War II.
One young man at the demonstration mistakenly thought Israel was located on the Black Sea, but he was confident in claiming that “throughout history, the Jewish people have traditionally been aggressors in many wars.” He said he had never heard the common river to the sea slogan, or the word intifada, which calls for a violent uprising against Jewish people.
This same person then went on to say that calling Hamas a terrorist group is “ridiculous.” His friend chimed in to say that Hamas, a group which slaughtered, burned and raped 350 people at a music festival on October 7, is fighting oppression!
This is the kind of hatred and ignorance that is on full display at these protests taking place across Australia and the rest of the West. How did we get here?

Pope Francis Charges Israeli Army with “Terrorism” over Firefight near Holy Family Church with RPGs Fired at IDF – Israel Denies the Accusations By Richard Abelson
Dec. 20, 2023 10:40 am – Pope Francis and the Archbishop of Jerusalem have accused the Israeli Army of killing two Christian Palestinian women who were allegedly shot by Israeli snipers at the Holy Family Parish complex in Gaza on Saturday morning. The IDF said that there was an ongoing firefight in the vicinity of the church, with RPGs being fired at IDF troops. Sky News host Piers Morgan questioned senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mark Regev, who insisted, “We must await the results of the investigation.”
The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem Pierbattista Pizzaballa said on Saturday morning that “around noon” on Dec. 16, a sniper of the IDF “murdered two Christian women inside the Holy Family Parish in Gaza, where the majority of Christian families has taken refuge since the start of the war.” Several others were also shot, the statement said.
“No warning was given, no notification was provided,” the patriarchate said. “They were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the parish, where there are no belligerents.”
Without waiting for the official investigation, Pope Francis on Sunday called the alleged attack “terrorism”, claiming that “unarmed civilians” were targeted by the IDF.
“I continue receiving very serious and sad news about Gaza,” the pope said at the end of the Angelus prayer. “A mother and her daughter… were killed and other people were wounded by the shooters.”
“This has happened even within the parish complex of the Holy Family, where there are no terrorists, but families, children, people who are sick and have disabilities,” the pope added. “Some are saying ‘this is terrorism and war,’” the pontiff said. “Yes, it is war, it is terrorism… let us pray to the Lord for peace,” the Holy Father added.
The IDF said on Tuesday that the initial review of the incident “found that on December 17th, in the early afternoon, Hamas terrorists launched a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) at IDF troops from the vicinity of the church. The troops then identified three people in the vicinity, operating as spotters for Hamas by guiding their attacks in the direction of the IDF troops. In response, our troops fired towards the spotters and hits were identified.”
“While this incident occurred in the area where the two women were reportedly killed, the reports received do not match the conclusion of our initial review which found that the IDF troops were targeting spotters in enemy lookouts. We are continuing our examination of the incident,” the statement added.
“The IDF takes claims of strikes on sensitive sites very seriously, especially churches that are the holy sites for the Christian faith. The IDF directs its operations against the Hamas terrorist organization and not against civilians, regardless of their religious affiliation.”
“The IDF takes many measures to mitigate harm to civilians in the Gaza Strip. These efforts stand in contrast to Hamas that does everything in its power to endanger civilians and exploits them, as well as religious sites, as human shields for their terrorist activities,” the IDF said.
Israel later came out and said they were not operating in that area at the time of the shooting.
[Ed.: War sucks. War is brutal. People on both sides die. Get over it. Furthermore, Poop Francis can go take a flying fuck through a rolling donut.]
Bishop Strickland Leads the Revolt Against Globalist Pope Francis – Conservative Catholics Won’t Incorporate His ‘Gay Couple Blessings’ in the Life of the Church By Paul Serran
Dec. 20, 2023 3:20 pm – During his entire papacy, Francis has slowly but surely chipped away at Catholic dogma in favor of a ‘modern’ interpretation of the function of the Church.
If you ask Conservative Catholics around the world, they will call it his ‘efforts to destroy the Church’.
The process has taken a quickened pace of late, after Francis’ controversial and divisive Synod, with the pontiff now openly waging war on what he called a ‘backwardness’ of some Catholic conservatives in the United States, arguing they had replaced faith with political ideology.
Talk about projection! But now, Conservatives are fighting back, led in part by US Bishop Joseph Strickland, that some call ‘the red-pilled Shepherd’.
Newsweek reported:
“Bishop Joseph Strickland, a firebrand who has frequently railed against what he has described as “woke” values, has urged fellow members of the clergy to ignore a declaration from the Vatican that blessing same-sex couples should be allowed.
In a document released on Monday, Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez mooted the ‘possibility of blessing couples in irregular situations and same-sex couples without officially validating their status or changing in any way the Church’s perennial teaching on marriage’.”
Catholic Church dogma regards same-sex relationships as a sin, and it hasn’t changed. But Francis attempts to circumvent that with his instructions.
His ‘progressive’ ideas, like ‘atheists can go to heaven’ and his open acceptance of homosexuals and his ‘softer stance’ on abortions and remarriage are all rejected by Conservatives in the Church.
“We really simply need to be a united voice saying ‘no, we will not respond to this, we will not incorporate this into the life of the church,’ because we simply must say no,” Strickland told LifeSiteNews, a conservative Catholic outlet, in response to the document.
‘I ask my brother bishops that we all join with a voice of strength and joy in these last days of advent and say no to this latest document and ask for a clarification of the true teachings of our Catholic faith’, he added.”
Strickland was removed him from the Diocese of Tyler, Texas’s in November after a series of social media posts criticizing Pope Francis.
“Strickland later said that one of the reasons for his removal was his refusal to implement a 2021 restriction by Pope Francis on celebrating the old Latin Mass. He said at the time: ‘I stand by all the things that were listed as complaints against me’.”
[Ed.: Oops! The Poop seems to be in some deep doo-doo!]
Pro-Hamas Graffiti and Red Paint Splashed on Lincoln Memorial Plaza in DC By Kristinn Taylor
Dec. 20, 2023 3:40 pm – The plaza in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. was damaged by spray-painted pro-Hamas slogans and copious amounts of red paint poured on the stairs and plaza overnight/early Wednesday morning. Park Service workers were seen using shovels to scoop the red paint off the steps as well as using power-washers to clean the damage on Wednesday. The Memorial itself was not damaged and was open to visitors.

Chinese Communist Leader Xi Jinping Bluntly Told Joe Biden to His Face that China Will Take Taiwan – During San Francisco Summit By Jim Hoft
Dec. 20, 2023 9:45 am – San Francisco rolled out the red carpet for Chinese leader Xi Jinping in November.
The far left California city and center of innovation held a parade in Xi Jinping’s honor complete with Communist flags lining the streets of the Democrat-run city.
Chinese Americans welcomed Xi as his caravan drove by – the same Chinese who fled communist China to come to the US.
During the summit Chinese communist leader Xi Jinping told Joe Biden to his face that China will take Taiwan at the time of their choosing.
Xi Jinping also told Joe Biden to make a public statement in support of China’s plans.
China treats Joe Biden like a puppet. Why is that?

Georgia on my mind… TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS
DEC 20, 2023 – Judge Beryl Howell, a DC activist judge appointed by Obama in 2010, decided ON HER OWN that Rudy Giuliani was guilty of defamation against two election workers in Georgia for claiming that they helped steal the election for Biden. No jury found him guilty. The judge did, by default, simply because she wanted to. Then, she sat back and laughed and told Rudy to pay $148 MILLION to two former Georgia election workers, mother and daughter, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.
Howell said Giuliani was guilty, by default, because he didn’t turn over his personal financial records fast enough so she could see how much money he had!
The guilty verdict was decided by her and her alone – not by a jury. Rudy was not allowed to put on any defense. The jury didn’t see one single piece of evidence. The guilty verdict was determined before trial. Just like the Trump case in New York.
Howell is the judge who handed down larger jail sentences to January 6 defendants than what was requested by the prosecutors and has a pending ethics complaint against her for that. Is everyone paying attention?
Soros-funded and Obama-appointed judges now render the verdicts in America – the jury trials are irrelevant. They are staged in DC and just for show. Corrupt juries decide on damages, without reviewing evidence, and awards are designed to bankrupt defendants. This is America, 2023.
Muslims Worldwide Throw a Fit over Israeli Bomb-Sniffing Dog Named after Mohammed’s Child Bride Aisha By Richard Abelson
Dec. 20, 2023 1:40 pm – Forget the “20,000 dead children” and the 1200 Israelis, Thais and others raped, tortured and murdered Oct. 7 and the 240 hostages held by Hamas – Muslims worldwide are now freaking out over an Israeli Army video showing an IDF bomb-sniffing dog named “Aisha”, who was the Prophet Mohammed’s 9-year-old child bride.
Doggie-cam footage showed Aisha, an IDF dog soldier, sniffing out bombs in Gaza and saving IDF soldiers’ lives.
Many Muslims are afraid of dogs, especially black dogs, because the Hadiths (Sayings of the Prophet Muhammed) call them “the devil among dogs,” ordering Muslims “to kill dogs.”
Commenting on the video, “Nashab” said, “The Zionist army publishes a video of a military dog from the Oketz special dog unit in Gaza. The dog is named ‘Aisha’ with audacity!”
He added, “This video is for anyone with a little religion and a little decency to contemplate a glimmer of good from this monstrous entity!”
Ahmed Fawzi questioned, “Where is our outrage about sectarian and doctrinal issues? Where are the Wahhabi and Salafist scholars as they watch the Zionist enemy insult Lady ‘Aisha’?”
Mohammed Al-Ghaili expressed deep sadness, saying, “It is very sad that the monsters and scum of the world are insulting the Mother of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with her.”
Omar Al-Qarshi suggested that this is an attempt to exploit religious differences between Shia and Sunni, stating, “They found common ground on the Palestinian cause.”

Jonathan Turley Responds to Colorado Supreme Court Decision to Bar Trump From 2024 Ballot (VIDEO) By Cristina Laila
Dec. 20, 2023 11:40 am – The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday disqualified Trump from the 2024 ballot.
All 7 Colorado Supreme Court justices were appointed by Democrats – 3 of the justices dissented to Tuesday’s ruling.
… The US Constitution has three requirements to be president:
- Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
- Be at least 35 years old.
- Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.
A few disgruntled Democrat voters, left-leaning lawyers and radical justices cannot determine whether a person can run for president. [Emphasis added]
Former White House Lawyer and Trump Critic, Ty Cobb, Explains Why Supreme Court Will Unanimously Overturn Colorado’s Unconstitutional Ruling (VIDEO) By Jim Hᴏft
Dec. 20, 2023 12:00 pm – In a recent appearance on CNN with Erin Burnett, former White House lawyer under President Donald Trump, Ty Cobb, provided his legal perspective on a controversial ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court.
Ty Cobb was the former high-powered Washington attorney who represented the White House as dirty cop Robert Mueller expanded his unconstitutional witch hunt into Trump-Russia collusion,“ an American hero.”
During the interview, Cobb expressed his belief that when the case is brought to the attention of the U.S. Supreme Court, the justices will reach a unanimous verdict to overturn the Colorado court’s decision, with an emphasis on the definition of “officer of the United States” in constitutional terms.
“I was struck by the majority opinion and the amount of verbiage devoted to the sort of ‘straw men arguments.’ The real key issue in this case is, ‘Is Trump an officer of the United States in the context in which that term is used in Article III of the 14th Amendment?’” Cobb said.
According to Cobb, historical and legal precedents suggest that this refers to appointed officials, not elected ones like the President or Vice President.
Cobb pointed out the precedent set in a 2010 ruling by Chief Justice John Roberts, which delineated the definition of ‘officers of the United States’. This distinction, according to Cobb, forms a strong basis for the Supreme Court to act quickly and decisively in Trump’s favor.
“In 2010, Chief Justice Roberts explained in Free Enterprise that people don’t vote for officers of the United States.”
“Article Two: Officers of the United States is commonly understood in the Constitution to refer to appointed officials. And to the extent that the president or the vice president are included as an officer or included within the admonitions of the Constitution, they are typically highlighted, like in the impeachment clause, which specifically says president, vice president. So, I think this case will be handled quickly. I think it could be 9-0 in the Supreme Court for Trump.”
Colorado Republican Party Mulls Primary Exit, Eyes Caucus Shift if SCOTUS Upholds Trump Ballot Exclusion By Jim Hᴏft
Dec. 20, 2023 7:45 am – The Colorado Republican Party is considering a significant shift in its presidential primary process. In a bold move, party officials have threatened to abandon the primary system altogether, opting for a pure caucus system.
This drastic consideration comes in response to a recent ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, which disqualified former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot, citing the 14th Amendment and allegations of insurrection.
The controversy intensified when Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy announced his decision to withdraw from the Colorado primary.
Ramaswamy’s move is a protest against the unconstitutional attack on the electoral process. He has called on fellow Republican contenders, including Governor Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Chris Christie, to follow suit.
… The Colorado Republica Party responded to Ramaswamy’s call and said that instead of participating in primaries, the party is considering shifting to a caucus system.
“You won’t have to because we will withdraw from the Primary as a Party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand,” the party wrote on X.
Election Interference: Here are the Four Colorado Justices Who Voted to Exclude Donald Trump from the 2024 Ballot By Jim Hᴏft
Dec. 19, 2023 8:30 pm – The unelected justices of the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the people of Colorado cannot vote for former President Donald Trump on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election.
The decision, passed by a narrow margin, was led by four justices whose ruling has sparked a fierce debate about legal standards and democratic principles.
According to CBS News, “lawsuits challenging Trump’s candidacy have been filed in more than 25 states ahead of the 2024 election.”
Trump-Appointed Judge Clears Way for Biden Regime to Remove Iconic Confederate Reconciliation Memorial at Arlington Cemetery – Takes Shot at Memorial During Hearing By Cullen Linebarger
Dec. 20, 2023 9:00 am – A Trump-appointed federal judge has cleared the way for the Biden regime to remove an iconic Confederate memorial promoting reconciliation between the Union and the Confederacy at Arlington Cemetery, lifting an injunction issued the day prior. He also had some choice words for the statue itself.
As the Gateway Pundit reported, on Sunday, the Biden regime moved in demolition crews to remove the Confederate Reconciliation statue, which was dedicated by President Calvin Coolidge in 1924 in Arlington Cemetery.
John Reid from Richmond’s Morning News captured photos of this grave assault on American history and unity.
While U.S. District Judge Rossie Alston granted opponents of the removal a reprieve Monday by issuing a temporary restraining order and scheduled a hearing on the matter Tuesday. He had received a phone call from supporters of the memorial who said that the gravesites adjacent to the memorial were being desecrated and disturbed while contractors were beginning to remove it.
But after the hearing, NBC Washington revealed Alston gave the green light to continue the erasure of American history.
The judge explained in his ruling that he toured the site on Tuesday and saw the site being treated “respectfully.”
“I saw no desecration of any graves, Alston said. “The grass wasn’t even disturbed.”
It also became clear that Alston was no fan of the memorial. The judge slammed the statue, claiming it does not promote reconciliation at all.
Egypt Completes Wall to Keep Out Palestinians from Gaza By Jim Hoft
Dec. 20, 2023 8:15 am – Egypt values its border security.
Egyptian workers recently completed a 8-10 foot concrete border wall to keep out Palestinians.
A security fence topped with barbed wire stands before the concrete wall.
And a series of earthen berms are behind the concrete wall.
Egypt is serious about its border security.
Meanwhile, the southern border of the United States is wide open. Over ten million illegals have walked across the border since Joe Biden took office.
This is the purposeful destruction of the greatest country on earth.
10,000 to 12,000 illegals are entering the southern border every day now. This cannot continue. Our country is being destroyed – on purpose.
Is the U.S. Navy Is Prepared For A Prolonged War With Yemen? By Larry Johnson
Dec. 20, 2023 7:00 am – It looks like the United States, along with 9 allies — Great Britain, Italy, Bahrain, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain — are on the verge of entangling itself in a new Middle East quagmire as an international armada assembles in the international waters around Yemen. The mission? Stop Yemen from threatening cargo and oil tankers headed to Israel.
Tiny Yemen has surprised the West with its tenacity and ferocity in attacking ships trying to ferry containers and fuel to Israel. Yes, this is a violation of international law and the West is fully justified in trying to thwart Yemen. On paper it would appear that Yemen is outnumbered and seriously outgunned. A sure loser? Not so fast. The U.S. Navy, which constitutes the majority of the fleet sailing against Yemen, has some real vulnerabilities that will limit its actions.
Before explaining the risks, you must understand that the U.S. Navy is configured currently as a “Forward-Based Navy” and is not an “Expeditionary Navy.” Anthony Cowden, writing for the Center for International Maritime Security in September, examined this issue in his article, REBALANCE THE FLEET TOWARD BEING A TRULY EXPEDITIONARY NAVY.
Canada: Manitoba premier writes to Trudeau, expressing province’s ‘willingness’ to take in Gaza refugees BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
DEC 19, 2023 9:00 AM – Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, who has served as the leader of the socialist-leaning New Democrat Party and has a criminal past, wants to see Gaza refugees come to the province of Manitoba. Never mind their raging jihad “resistance” against the Jewish state. Kinew went so far as to write a letter to Justin Trudeau, whose Liberal government recently voted in favor of a UN resolution demanding an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza.
Gilad Erdan, the Israeli Ambassador to the UN, addresses the UN on what a call for a ceasefire really means HERE.
According to statistics, some 14,345 Jews live in Manitoba. That is the fifth largest Jewish population in Canada, following Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Calgary, in that order. Manitoba’s Muslim population is about 20,000. Arab and Muslim countries “loudly proclaim their support” for the “Palestinian cause, yet refuse to accept Gaza refugees,” but Wab Kinew stands ready and eager to accept them, despite the obvious implications. It’s a severely divisive issue that has gone global, and the province of Manitoba is no exception. This month, antisemitic posters were found in “several buildings” on the University of Manitoba campus. A month before that, antisemitic graffiti on a pedestrian underpass prompted Winnipeg Jewish Federation president Belle Jarniewski to state:
I don’t think I’ve ever felt unsafe until this last month..I’ve never seen or heard the kind of vitriol expressed by so many people, publicly without shame… the “temperature has really been turned up” since the latest conflict between Israel and Hamas began in early October.
Winnipeg is the capital and largest city in the province of Manitoba. If Premier Wab Kinew’s request to bring Gazan refugees to Manitoba is honored by Trudeau, the “temperature” will be much higher for Manitoba’s Jewish population.
Meanwhile, “Ramsey Zeid, president of the Canadian Palestinian Association of Manitoba, said he appreciated Kinew’s letter.” Should Gazan refugees be accepted into Manitoba, will they be screened on their support for Hamas? Almost certainly not.
Germany: Nativity scene figures beheaded BY ROBERT SPENCER
DEC 19, 2023 11:00 AM – Who could have done such a thing? Might it be someone who thinks that those who believe in the divinity of Christ are “unbelievers” (Qur’an 5:17, 5:72), and “when you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4)?
“Hesse: Shock just before Christmas! Figures in the nativity scene beheaded,” translated from “Hessen: Schock kurz vor Weihnachten! Figuren in der Krippe geköpft,” by Stefanb Schlagenhaufer, Bild, December 17, 2023 (thanks to Medforth):
Rüsselsheim (Hesse) – Attack on the life-sized Christmas nativity scene in Opelstadt. On Sunday night, all the nativity figures were beheaded: Joseph, Mary, the Three Wise Men from the Orient – and even the donkey.
The people of Rüsselsheim are shocked: At the Protestant market church in the heart of the city, right next to the town hall, there is a nativity scene during Advent. The figures of the Holy Family with Jesus are life-sized. Surrounded by two Christmas trees. Donated by the Rüsselsheimer Gewerbeverein 1888 e.V.!
But on the morning of December 17th, the manger looks like a battlefield. All figures had their heads chopped off. Joseph was kicked down and Mary was knocked away. Jesus is first missing and later found under the rubble.

Javier Milei Administration to Ban ‘Woke’ Language in Argentina’s Military By Mike Lachance
Dec. 19, 2023 10:20 pm – Argentina’s new President Javier Milei is reportedly planning to ban ‘inclusive’ or ‘woke’ language from the country’s military.
You have to wonder if he has been watching what is happening to the military in the United States, which is still struggling to recruit across all branches, a problem critics have linked to the military’s embrace of progressive policies.
Milei is continuing to deliver on the promises he made to the people of Argentina.
Breitbart News reports:
Argentina to Ban Woke ‘Inclusive’ Language in the Military
Argentine Defense Minister Luis Petri announced the new administration of President Javier Milei will ban leftist “inclusive” language in Argentina’s military.
Petri, who also claimed that Argentina’s defensive power is “as devastated as the country,” made the announcement on Sunday evening. December 17, during La Noche de Mirtha, an Argentine late-night show hosted by actress Mirtha Legrand.
“Some even spoke with inclusive language. We are going to prohibit the use, for example, of inclusive language within the armed forces — it cannot be,” Petri said.
When asked to elaborate by another guest, Petri explained, “There is a military language that has to be complied with and there have been advances in the rules of discipline and the normal language that clearly end up degrading and making the armed forces regress.”
“Because they are military forces, I mean, and to be forced to speak in a certain language is not appropriate for the military discipline that should exist, and this is without any kind of bias,” he continued.

5:04 PM – Tuesday, December 19, 2023 – California regulators have approved rules aimed at turning wastewater into drinking water.
The California state water resources board voted to adopt the new rules on Tuesday. The move could impact where millions of state residents get their drinking water from.
The new rules will allow water agencies to recycle wastewater, treat it, and then transfer it back into pipes at homes, schools and businesses.
Additionally, the agencies are required to test the water for any pathogens or viruses before processing.
The Santa Clara Water District is one of a number of areas that plans to use treated wastewater for drinking.
The new rules will also require water agencies to inform customers about the recycled water before they begin the process.

New York One Step Closer to Giving Reparations to Black Descendants of Slaves By Cristina Laila
Dec. 19, 2023 5:00 pm – New York state is one step closer to giving reparations to descendants of slaves.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) on Tuesday signed a bill that gives a commission power to consider giving reparations to blacks.
The Democrats are demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars in reparations per black person.
Excerpt from The New York Times:
New York will undertake an ambitious effort to address the state’s history of slavery and racism, establishing the United States’ second statewide task force to examine whether reparations can be made to confront the legacy of racial injustice.
Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday signed a bill that empowers a commission to study not only the history of slavery, which was outlawed in New York in 1827, but also its subsequent effects on housing discrimination, biased policing, income inequality and mass incarceration of African Americans.
It is far too early to tell what type of restitution, cash or otherwise, the commission in New York will recommend for descendants of enslaved people, or even if it will make such a recommendation. But in California, a multibillion-dollar price tag has already threatened to stymie the reparations project, highlighting the distance between the state’s goals and its fiscal reality.
During a press conference on Tuesday Hochul boasted about the prospect of paying black people reparations even though they were never slaves.
“I know the word ‘reparations’ brings up a lot of conflicting ideas for people,” Hochul said on Tuesday. “A lot of people instinctively dig in when they hear it, without really thinking about what it means or why we need to talk about it.”
“Today, I challenge all New Yorkers, to be the patriots and rebuke — and not excuse — our role in benefiting from the institution of slavery,” she said.
“We’re the ones who fought against slavery!” Hochul absurdly claimed.

J6 Political Prisoner Ryan Samsel Can’t Walk, Suffers Life Threatening Condition In Solitary Confinment And Judge, Marshalls, Guards Could Not Care Less By Alicia Powe
Dec. 19, 2023 8:00 pm – January 6 political hostage Ryan Samsel could barely stand when he woke up on Thursday morning.
The same throbbing pain that pierced through his left arm in 2021, where doctors discovered blood clots, is surging through his massively swollen left leg.
Locked in the hole of the DC gulag, he calls the correctional officers for help begging to see a doctor to no avail.
The Supreme Court of the United States has long held that jails and prisons cannot deny essential medical care to people who are incarcerated, deeming medical deprivation to be cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
When Samsel realized he couldn’t stand on Monday, he screamed again for help asking to be taken to medical, but the nurse on duty was fast asleep and ignored his pleas.
The hole of the Washington DC Correctional Treatment Facility where January 6 defendants are held in unconstitutional pretrial custody is less restrictive than solitary confinement in other jails in prisons.
Inmates in the hole are allowed out of their ten-by-five dog cage size cell for about three hours a day and are allowed to step outside, into another small gage, for a few minutes to breathe in fresh air.
The limited movement is exacerbating Samsel’s deteriorating condition which he suspects is caused by another blood clot as the pain gets more severe by the day.
“I’m stuck in the bed because of the clot in my leg,” Samsel told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview. “I ask the guards to take me to medical nearly every day. They don’t care. It’s my judge who is at fault. I beg her, ‘Please, I’m really in pain!’ And she says nothing. She doesn’t care. She’s not going to do anything about it. I don’t know what else to do. I mean… I really don’t know what to do.
“She has denied the outside hospital recommendations. I’ve been to three hospitals. Before I was arrested, I was scheduled for surgery. At three jail hospitals, my file was marked ‘urgent,’ saying I needed surgery and blood thinners.
“I am dying little by little. I am in lockdown. I beg that you get the public to please call my Judge Tia Cobb, the DC Marshal or the jail. I can’t even walk. I need emergency medical attention along with the surgery that will help restore the blood flow back to my heart from my left arm due to the long-standing clots. I have scar tissue that needs to be removed. I truly am in fear. I can’t feel my leg and the jail won’t send me to the hospital because they don’t have my medical records.
“I am unable to reach my lawyer Stanley Woodward and don’t have the money he needs to file an appeal to the judge to receive medical treatment. So, I am stuck.
Samsel has a history of suffering from blood clots. In March 2021, two months after he was apprehended by the FBI, he received a medical examination for a cist on his chest that was oozing with blood while detained in a Lewisburg, Virginia jail.
Doctors in the Virginia correctional facility told him to follow up with a specialist to determine whether the cist was a malignant tumor or cancer.
Instead of scheduling an appointment with the specialist, Samsel was then transferred to the DC gulag, where he was brutally assaulted by correctional officers. Following the beat down, he lost vision in his right eye and began suffering from seizures. He was taken to the emergency room where doctors found a blood clot in his arm.
Team Trump Issues Fiery Response After Radical-Left Colorado Supreme Court Disqualifies Him from 2024 Ballot and Vows an Immediate U.S. Supreme Court Appeal By Cullen Linebarger
Dec. 19, 2023 6:15 pm – As the Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump will not be on the ballot in Colorado in 2024 thanks to their far-left Supreme Court.
The Court dubiously cited Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office.
Trump did not engage in an insurrection nor has been charged with one.
As TGP readers know, this ruling came in response to a suit brought by the George Soros-funded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW). CBS News previously reported the group filed its lawsuit against Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold and Trump in September, arguing the 45th president is disqualified from public office under Section 3.
The voters demanded a state trial court in Denver to block Griswold from taking any action that would allow Trump access to the ballot.
According to CNBC, the state Supreme Court stayed its ruling from taking effect until Jan. 4, “subject to further appellate proceedings.”
Now, the Trump campaign has weighed in on the Supreme Court’s outrageous ruling. Spokesman Steven Cheung unleashed a fiery response blasting the Court, Biden, and the radical left Soros group who brought the suit.
He also vowed the Trump campaign would take the case directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat-appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice.
We have full confidence that the U.S. Supreme Court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these un-American lawsuits.
This is an outrageous assault on American democracy and cannot stand.

U.S. Army Facing TikTok Mutiny as Young Soldiers Whine About the Cold Realities of Military Life Including “Sh***y Food” and “Low Pay” While in Uniform (VIDEOS) By Cullen Linebarger
Dec. 19, 2023 4:40 pm – A paper based in the United Kingdom has uncovered a severe problem that partially explains why the military has shrunk to its smallest size since before World War II. It involves the toxic combination of spoiled young people and the most infamous social media platform on Earth: TikTok.
The Daily Mail revealed on Sunday that young Generation Z army recruits over the past three years have taken to the Chinese-run platform to complain about military life while in uniform and attempt to dissuade others from joining America’s armed forces.
These complaints range from lousy food, fitness tests, low pay, freedoms being “suppressed,” and much more. The outlet has called this a “TikTok mutiny.”
The first video is by “influencer” Anthony Laster. It shows him describing his life in the military as having ‘No Privacy, Sh***y Food, Disrespectful Leadership, NO SLEEP!” He also whines about needing to get paid more.

France’s Macron Caves to the Right in New TOUGH Immigration Bill, in a Political Victory for Marine Le Pen By Paul Serran
Dec. 19, 2023 10:40 am – President Emmanuel Macron paused his unsuccessful attempts to mediate foreign crises for a while and appears to be making a serious effort to tackle mass migration in France.
That means, of course, enacting tough, no-nonsense measures that will inevitably be called ‘far-right’ in the liberal-leftist-Globalist MSM.
Macron is trying to rebound after a shock defeat in the National Assembly last week when his flagship immigration bill was dismissed by without a debate.
Now, a group of French lawmakers struck a tentative deal on a bill to significantly toughen immigration laws.
Reuters reported:
“The government had initially said this would be a carrot-and-stick legislation that would make it easier for migrants working in sectors that lack labor to get a residency permit but would also make it easier to expel illegal migrants.
But, without a majority in the lower house of parliament since the June 2022 elections, and in order to gain support from the right, the government progressively agreed to water down measures meant to give some illegal migrants residency permits, while tightening access to welfare, among other steps.”
The deal was agreed by a special committee of seven senators and seven deputies.
It is in many ways good news for Macron, because the migration bill is a key aspect of his second mandate.
“But it could also boost Marine Le Pen, who called the outcome ‘a great ideological victory’ for her far-right party – which the government denies. The conservative Les Republicains, who have over the years hardened their discourse closer to that of the far-right, also claimed victory.”

Kash Patel: FBI Has Jeffrey Epstein’s Little Black Book – Trump Should Release It on Day 1 and the Rest of the Footage of the DC Pipe Bomber (VIDEO) By Jim Hoft
Dec. 19, 2023 9:30 am – Kash Patel says the FBI has Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book and that Trump should release every name on day one of his next administration. Kash wants to see a continuous declassification office in 2024. The government gangsters have it all hidden from the American public.
Glenn Beck: Who has Jeffrey Epstein’s Black Book?
Kash Patel: FBI.
Glenn Beck: But who?…
Kash Patel: That’s under direct control of the Director of the FBI… Just like the manifesto from the shooting at the Catholic School. We still haven’t seen that, right?… It’s not the national police that doesn’t want this out. The FBI air-mailed into the operation and said this is not getting out… To me that’s the thing President Trump should run on.
On day one, roll out the black book. Not just that. On day one, roll out all the text messages and communications we were told were deleted.
On day one, play the rest of the video of the pipe bomber…
You need a central node to be continuously declassifying. This is another thing they do, they over-classify — to protect the deep state. We still haven’t seen half of the RussiaGate report that we wrote. Still under lock and key… All of these things there needs to be a continuing central power, all of the requests that come in.. right out the door. As long as it’s not a major threat to national security.”
WATCH: Massive Volcano Erupts in Iceland After Weeks of Earthquakes (VIDEOS) By Mike Lachance
Dec. 18, 2023 10:40 pm – A massive volcano in Grindavik, Iceland has finally erupted, following multiple earthquakes. People in the area began evacuating weeks ago.
So far, it does not look like the volcano will cost human lives, but there’s no telling how big the eruption will become.
You can see some video clips below, the spectacle of the eruption is amazing.
Reuters reports:
Iceland volcano erupts near town after weeks of quake activity
A volcano erupted late on Monday in southwest Iceland, spewing lava and smoke across a wide area after weeks of intense earthquake activity, the country’s Meteorological Office said, threatening a nearby town.
Fearing a significant eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula, authorities last month evacuated the nearly 4,000 inhabitants of the fishing town of Grindavik and closed the nearby Blue Lagoon geothermal spa.
“Warning: Eruption has started north of Grindavik by Hagafell,” the Met Office said on its website, noting that the eruption began only a few kilometres from the town and cracks in the ground stretched toward the village located about 40 km (25 miles) south-west of Iceland’s capital city Reykjavik.
Reykjavik’s nearby Keflavik International Airport remained open, albeit with numerous delays listed for both arrivals and departures.
Images and livestreams of the eruption shown by Reuters and others showed molten rock spewing spectacularly from fissures in the ground, their bright-yellow and orange colours set in sharp contrast against the dark night sky.
“Seismic activity together with measurements from GPS devices indicate that the magma is moving to the southwest and the eruption may continue in the direction of Grindavik,” the Met Office said.

Javier Milei the Chameleon Ditches the Histrionics, Implements a ‘Shock of Capitalism’ in Argentina’s Devastated Economy By Paul Serran
Dec. 18, 2023 3:00 pm – Once inaugurated, Argentina’s President Javier Milei shocked and confounded his critics and even his enthusiasts by ditching the excessive rhetoric, the histrionics, the chainsaw yielding, and even some of his most extreme proposals.
He implemented a hard, tough but necessary economic ‘shock therapy’ that is capitalism 101 and has managed to balance Argentina’s newfound appreciation for the United States with the necessary coexistence with Brazil and China, Argentina’s biggest trade partners.
Financial Times reported:
“The 53-year-old political novice — whose previous guises have included tantric sex guru, mystic, fanatical dog lover, ultra-libertarian, maverick intellectual and soccer player — has undergone a dramatic shift in image since the campaign, dressing soberly and speaking in serious, statesmanlike terms.”
After his landslide victory over the putrefying Peronist establishment, Milei’s unveiled a surprisingly mainstream economic plan of spending cuts and tax rises on Tuesday to balance the budget – a shock of capitalism.
“A previous pledge to adopt the US dollar as the national currency was shelved, and there was no mention of the most radical ideas Milei supported during the campaign, such as legalizing the sale of human organs or cutting ties with Brazil and China, Argentina’s biggest trading partners.
‘It’s as if he suddenly shed his costume’, noted one senior diplomat, praising the president’s newfound pragmatism after having described him during the campaign as a leap into the unknown.
Milei’s economy minister, former Wall Street trader Luis Caputo, announced this week that he was devaluing the peso by 54 per cent rather than dumping it. Instead of burning down the central bank, Caputo appointed a former investment bank colleague.”

And the Milei surprises went much further than the purely political ones, as the new President has moved towards converting to Judaism.
“Before taking office Milei, who was brought up Catholic, travelled to New York to pray at the tomb of Menachem Mendel Schneerson, a renowned Orthodox rabbi hailed by some followers as the Messiah. “He had made a prayer there before the election and after winning, he felt he had to return as president-elect to give thanks to God,” said a person familiar with the trip.”
Milei has been studying the Torah, and has publicly expressed interest in converting to Judaism, an unusual move towards a minute minority in Argentina.

Pope Francis Officially Approves Priests Blessing Same Sex Couples By Jim Hoft

Chuck Schumer Praised the ‘Humanity’ of Anti-Israel Group Whose Leader Was ‘Happy To See’ Hamas Murder Jews Chuck Ross
December 18, 2023 – Two decades ago, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) said the Council on American-Islamic Relations has “ties to terrorism” and called for the federal government to cut ties with the controversial anti-Israel group. Schumer, now the Senate majority leader, has flip-flopped since then on CAIR, which is back in the national spotlight after its founder said he was “happy to see” Hamas attack Israel.
Last year, Schumer said in a letter of support for CAIR that the United States is “fortunate” the organization is “fighting for the sake of our freedoms.” In 2015, he applauded CAIR for its “determination to continue to spread humanity” and to “cultivate and encourage mutual understanding amongst Americans of all backgrounds and cultures,” according to a letter CAIR cited in fundraising literature.
That’s a far cry from what Schumer said during a 2003 Senate hearing, when he slammed CAIR’s leaders for having “intimate connections with Hamas” and said the group was known to have “ties to terrorism.” In 2009, Schumer submitted a letter to the FBI that noted CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation, a Hamas front group. Schumer said federal agencies ceasing work with CAIR “should be government-wide policy.”

Miracle in Tennessee: Four-Month-Old Baby Found Alive in Tree After Being Swept Up by Tornado (VIDEO) By Jim Hᴏft
Dec. 17, 2023 8:20 pm – In an almost biblical tale of survival, a four-month-old infant was miraculously found alive in a tree after a devastating tornado tore through Clarksville, Tennessee, lifting the baby and his bassinet into its ferocious grasp.
The Moore family’s mobile home was unfortunately situated directly in the path of the devastating tornado on December 9, which ruthlessly tore apart the structure, dispersing fragments of their belongings throughout the surrounding area, WSMV reported.
The baby, identified as Lord, and his one-year-old brother Princeton were at home with their parents, Sydney Moore and her boyfriend Aramis Youngblood, when the tornado hit. Sydney Moore, 22, recounted how the roof of their mobile home was ripped off as the tornado approached.
The tornado’s force was so strong that it lifted the bassinet with the baby inside. Aramis Youngblood attempted to grab the bassinet as it was being sucked up, and both he and the baby were thrown into the air. Sydney Moore, meanwhile, protected their older child, Princeton, from the collapsing walls.
For about 10 minutes after the tornado passed, the baby was missing, sparking fear and desperation in the parents. In an incredible turn of events, the baby was found alive, lying in a fallen tree, with only minor injuries—a cut on the side of his face that needed to be glued shut. The father, Youngblood, suffered a broken arm and shoulder during the ordeal.
The family described their survival and the baby’s miraculous discovery as an act of divine intervention, stating that it was “by the grace of God” that they found their child alive and mostly unharmed.
The family lost everything in the tornado and is now seeking a new home. The local community has rallied around them, providing essential supplies like diapers and formula. A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist the family in rebuilding their lives.

Crane Moved into Arlington Cemetery for Removal and Destruction of Civil War Reconciliation Memorial this Week By Jim Hoft
Dec. 17, 2023 5:20 pm – The Biden regime has moved in the demolition crews to remove the Confederate statue in Arlington Cemetery in Washington DC.
John Reid from Richmond’s Morning News with John Reid posted photos on Sunday of the demolition crew moving into the cemetery to remove the monument.
John posted video from Arlington Cemetery this morning where he reported on the destruction of the famous statue.
The crane was moved in and the removal is expected to take place on Monday.
Congress voted to remove the statue earlier this year – 41 Republicans joined Democrats – to move forward with the destruction of this statue. The demolition was scheduled for no later than January 1, 2024.
Millions of US dollars are being allocated to dismantle the memorial dedicated to Civil War veterans.
The statue was dedicated by President Calvin Coolidge in 1924.
The statue was the most important work by Jewish artist Moses Ezekiel.
Here is background on the statue that the radical left will remove from Arlington on Monday.
Woke U.S. Military Faces 2024 with Smallest Size and Lowest Qualification Levels in 80 Years — Pentagon Issue “National Call of Service” to Younger Generations By Jim Hᴏft
Dec. 17, 2023 2:20 pm – Reports emerging from the Pentagon suggest that the United States military is entering the year 2024 with its smallest size and lowest qualification levels in nearly eight decades. This development raises significant concerns about national security and military readiness in an era of evolving global threats.
According to Daily Mail, the total number of active-duty personnel has dropped to levels not seen since the early 1940s, a period before the U.S. entered World War II.
The emerging challenges in military recruitment are becoming increasingly evident, as seen in this year’s significant shortfall of 41,000 personnel. This gap highlights the widening disconnect between the military establishment and the younger generations.
Ashish Vazirani, the acting undersecretary for personnel and readiness at the Pentagon, acknowledges the tough recruitment climate, which has compelled the armed services to lower their target numbers for active personnel in recent times.
Recruiting has been hampered by the COVID-19 vaccine mandates as well as an increasingly woke military atmosphere where trans soldiers are give special privileges while Christian soldiers are persecuted, bases host drag shows, and leaders with a history of anti-white statements are hired.
Republican lawmakers block University of Pennsylvania funding over anti-semitism controversy i24NEWS
December 17, 2023 at 02:12 PM – Turmoil deepens for Penn as GOP legislators withhold $33 million intended for the veterinary school, demanding concrete anti-Semitism measures before approval
In a recent move, Republican lawmakers have halted $33 million in funding for the University of Pennsylvania, targeting the veterinary school, citing concerns about rising anti-Semitism on campus.
Typically, such funding receives bipartisan support, but the GOP wants to assess the university’s specific actions against anti-Semitism before approving the allocation.
All Democratic lawmakers supported the funding, but 25 Republican representatives voted against it, resulting in the suspension of the bill.
This development exacerbates the challenges facing the University of Pennsylvania, already grappling with turmoil following the recent resignation of its president.
Harris Poll Finds 51% of Americans Ages 18-24 Want Israel ‘Ended and Given to Hamas’ By David Israel
5 Tevet 5784 – December 17, 2023 – Let’s put it this way: if some rare disease had swept through America, killing everyone 25 and older, it would become very inhospitable for Jews. A survey conducted online by The Harris Poll and HarrisX within the United States from December 13-14 among 2,034 registered voters, asked, “Do you think that the long-term answer to the Israel-Palestinian dispute is for Arab states to absorb the Palestinians, for there to be two states, Israel and Palestine, or for Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians?” and, God help us, 51% of respondents ages 18-24 preferred “for Israel to be ended.”
Now, among respondents ages 25-34, only 31% picked the “Israel be ended” option, ages 35-44 were even less enthusiastic – 24%, and the fate of Israel was safe with the 55-64 crowd – only 13% want it annihilated, and the 65+ are truly harmless – 4%.
It certainly implies that when that age group chants “From the river to the sea” they know exactly what it means, even if they can’t name which river or which sea.
DEEP DIVE: Dishonorable Judge Beryl Howell EXPOSED IN DETAIL! Why the January 6th Judge That Presided Over Rudy Giuliani’s Trial MUST BE IMPEACHED “Trump-Hating Judge Shredded The Constitution” By Cara Castronuova
Dec. 17, 2023 8:00 am – Judge Beryl Howell had the time of her life presiding over the trial of Rudy Giuliani.
Sitting perched above Courtroom Number 26 of the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington D.C., the Trump-hating Obama appointee looked on last week as an unhinged, bias and corrupted jury ordered Giuliani pay $148 million dollars to former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shane Moss.
If this ridiculous judgement is not the final proof needed for lawmakers to understand that a D.C. jury is beyond rehabilitation and a D.C. judge is NOT fit to reasonably judge Conservatives or Trump supporters, I do not know what is.
(*Please read our deep dive into the unethical and unconstitutional actions of Beryl Howell regarding January 6th defendants by scrolling down in this article. SHE MUST BE IMPEACHED.)
Earlier last week, the Dishonorable Judge Howell giggled with adoration in her eyes for Ruby Freeman as the former Georgia election worker took the stand and proclaimed she wanted to offer Howell one of the special “ginger-mint candies” she brought to court.
It was nauseating to witness.
Howell also lavished in scolding Mr. Giuliani and his attorney Joseph Sibley after Giuliani spoke to reporters outside the courtroom. The plaintiff’s side of the courtroom was packed with what looked like a team of perhaps fifteen lawyers and personnel, in stark contrast to Defendant Giuliani’s side.
MUSLIM duo who urinated on and gang raped woman on cruise ship to remain in Sweden as court says they have ‘integrated’ By Pamela Geller

Iraqi duo who urinated on and gang raped woman on cruise ship to remain in Sweden as court says they have ‘integrated’
The public prosecutor had pushed for deportation orders for the foreign gang rapists after serving their sentences, however, the court rejected this request
‘By: Remix News, December 06, 2023
Two Iraqi migrants will remain in Sweden after serving their custodial sentences for the gang rape of a Swedish woman onboard a cruise ship after a court rejected deportation requests by the public prosecutor because the duo were deemed to have “integrated” into Swedish society.
Mazin Al-Sharash, 36, and Akar Bajorani, 32, were sentenced to six years and five years and three months respectively for aggravated rape of a woman during a 24-hour cruise between Stockholm and Mariehamn on Sept. 10 this year.
The Stockholm District Court heard how the duo had grabbed the woman and ushered her into a cabin before hitting her in the face, pulling her hair, spitting and urinating on her and both raping her during a four-hour assault.
The court found that the pair had “acted with particular recklessness and brutality” during the sentencing hearing.
The public prosecutor had pushed for deportation orders for the foreign gang rapists after serving their sentences, however, the court rejected this request.
It held that Al-Sharash, who had arrived in Sweden from Iraq back in 2018 had become a Swedish citizen in 2021, and as such it would not be appropriate to deport him. Despite his citizenship, Al-Sharash required an Arabic translator to assist him during the trial.
Bajorani came to Sweden from Iraq in 2008 as a teenager but is not a Swedish citizen. He was, however, deemed to have “integrated” into Swedish society due to the fact that he has two children who are Swedish citizens and is expecting a third. He is also proficient in the Swedish language.
“Bajorani has integrated by learning Swedish and supporting himself through work, mainly as a taxi driver,” the court’s judgment read, as cited by the Samnytt news outlet.
Talking to Samnytt following the judgment, public prosecutor Emma Svedberg revealed that she was considering an appeal of the court’s decision which she believes to be too lenient for the severity of the offense.
“I think it is satisfactory that both men have been convicted of aggravated rape. At the same time, the district court has arrived at a shorter prison sentence than I have requested,” Svedberg said.
“The district court has not reached the conclusion that the man whom I requested to be deported should be deported,” she added.

The leaders of Italy and the U.K. are joining forces, and agreed on Saturday to jointly address the irregular migration to Europe, intensifying cooperation ‘in the fight against human trafficking’.

Watch: Dr. Phil Rips ‘Liberal Woke’ Universities for Fostering Anti-Semitism, ‘Intellectual Rot’ [Video 6:53] By Ben Kew, The Western Journal
Dec. 16, 2023 6:20 pm – Dr. Phil has launched a full frontal attack on America’s “liberal woke” universities.
The popular television host, whose full name is Phil McGraw, said in a video message this week that he was appalled by the “sickening smugness” displayed by leaders of elite universities they were testifying on Capitol Hill about the issue of campus anti-Semitism.
McGraw declared that these prestigious institutions have become “liberal woke hotbeds fostering intellectual rot rather than critical thinking.”
“They were asked a simple question: ‘Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate your policy against bullying and harassment?’” he said.
“To be 100 percent clear, using the dictionary definition of ‘genocide,’ the question becomes, does calling for the deliberate killing of a large number of Jews with the aim of destroying the Jewish ethnic group and the nation of Israel violate your policy against bullying and harassment?” McGraw said.
He said the university presidents “disgustingly evaded” lawmakers’ questions and claimed it depended on the “context.”
“How much context would be required if these student organizations were demonstrating in support of genocide of all Asians, Catholics, blacks or gays?” McGraw said.
“‘I’ll tell you how much: none,” he said. “And you know what? There should be none. All of these groups deserve protection and the right to attend school without fear, and so do the Jewish students.

Biden Administration Empowered Iran’s Terror Group, the Houthis by Majid Rafizadeh
December 16, 2023 at 5:00 am
- The Houthis have been fortunate to have, as a powerful patron and sponsor, Iran. Their backers in Tehran will not let them run out of ammunition and the Biden administration will not let the Iranian regime run out of funds.
- Iran has been employing every political and military tactic possible — including racing toward nuclear weapons capability — to complete its objectives of annihilating Israel, driving the United States out of the Middle East, and establishing an Islamist caliphate.
- Does anyone seriously think that if Iran finally acquires a nuclear bomb, they will not use it — or at least threaten to?
- To deter further escalation, the US needs seriously to target the real source of this mayhem — the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its IRGC. Perhaps the US might try incapacitating the Iranian ports that are used for oil exports, or take out a few IRGC facilities — or maybe just send every IRGC officer a picture of his home?
Thanks to the Biden administration’s alarmingly misguided officials and their counterproductive policies of appeasement towards Iran and its proxies, the Iranian regime’s militia and terrorist group in Yemen, the Houthis, has ratcheted up attacks on ships in the Red Sea, and escalated the launching of missiles and attack drones at Israel. Now, the Houthis, also known as Ansar Allah (“Partisans of Allah”), are threatening to attack any ship headed to Israel, regardless of its nationality or ownership. Why not just replace their flags with American ones?

Shockingly Good: Bill Maher Throws Down – Explains Reality of the Genocidal “From the River to the Sea” Chant [GREAT Video 8:13] By Margaret Flavin
Dec. 16, 2023 2:00 pm
Bill Maher has had strong words in the aftermath of the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7 in Israel that are becoming more and more out of step with the radical leftists in the Democrat party.
In a recent episode, he took a swipe at former President Obama for comments he made this week about the Israel-Hamas war and shared his disappointment in the former President’s “moral equivalency.”
He has slammed liberals for defending Hamas and the rise of anti-semitism among you people.
He lambasted elite colleges for their “indoctrination into a stew of bad ideas” and the suppression of free speech.
In November, he even took the bold move, at least within his own party, of defending Western civilization.
On Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher shared his new rule on the genocidal “From the River to the Sea” chant favored by leftists.
Even more surprising than Maher’s take is the audience’s enthusiastic applause and approval at his remarks.
[Ed.: Be sure to see the comments to this article at Gateway Pundit! Maher is definitely moving to the right! His Democrat audience here is applauding…“They’re here, they like their bagels with a shmear, get used to it!”]
