Warning Islamic State Khorasan Province (IS-KP) Sending Terrorists to Europe Disguised as ‘War Refugees’

By Dr. Rich Swier

The Biden administration has as its key policy to open the borders of America without consequence. We are seeing thousands of illegals entering our Southern border weekly and the Department of Homeland Security is doing nothing to stop it.

As a matter of policy, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is insuring our Border Patrol agents are looking the other way.

In an October 2021 interview with RAIR Foundation USA and in her article “Understanding the Threat: What is the Islamic State Khorasan Province (IS-KP) & Why it Matters,” Clare Lopez emphasized the urgency for the West, particularly the U.S., to focus on the growing threat posed by IS-PK.

Her warnings, based on the group’s history and activities in Afghanistan, have highlighted IS-KP’s global ambitions and its potential to exploit regional instability.

A RAIR Foundation USA article titled “Terror Alert: Christmas and New Year’s Eve Under Threat By the ‘Most Dangerous’ Terrorist Organization Sending Jihadis to Europe Disguised as ‘War Refugees’Amy Mek reports,

The recent arrests linked to the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISPK), recognized by intelligence services as the most dangerous terrorist organization actively dispatching terrorists specifically to Europe, resoundingly corroborate Clare Lopez’s stark warnings in her 2021 RAIR interview, pressing the urgent need for Western nations to counter this escalating Islamic terror threat.

Cologne: In a striking development, law enforcement agencies in Austria, Germany, and Spain have intercepted intelligence about potential attacks by a Muslim terror cell during the Christmas and New Year’s Eve festivities. These attacks targeted significant locations, including Christmas church services in major cities such as Cologne, Vienna, and Madrid. Early reports reveal that the arrested suspects, believed to be from Tajikistan and linked to the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISPK), infiltrated Europe under the guise of refugees, echoing longstanding concerns raised by security experts.

The intelligence specifically highlighted a potential Islamic threat in Cologne, with a primary focus on New Year’s Eve. Despite this, the broader alert for the holiday season prompted authorities to remain vigilant during the Christmas period as well. BILD reports confirm that early arrests were carried out by special forces in Vienna, complemented by additional apprehensions in Germany.

Are Islamic State Khorasan Province Terrorists Coming to or already in America?

QUESTION: Are IS-KP jihadis now in the United States?

ANSWER: We don’t know because Biden and Mayorkas don’t know.

Why, because our borders are completely open and not a single illegal alien is being screened.

We also know that Al Qaida is seeking nuclear weapons.

We know that the last major news coverage of IS-KP came in April 2017, when President Donald Trump ordered a “MOAB” (Mother of All Bombs) attack against an IS-KP tunnel complex in  Nangarhar Province close to the Afghanistan/Pakistan border.

What if the IS-KP is seeking revenge against us, American infidels, by smuggling in a nuclear weapon, provided by our arch enemies Al Qaida, in order to set off the Mother of All Islamic Terrorist Bombs (MAITB) say in New York City in 2024?

This danger is what Biden and Mayorkas are ignoring.

Or perhaps they are thinking that if something this catastrophic happens Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. could declare martial law, cancel the 2024 presidential elections and stop Donald J. Trump from becoming the 47th president on November4th, 2024?

Let’s pray that we are wrong. But…

Gird your loins we’re in for a rough ride.

The True Meaning of the 12 Days of Christmas thumbnail

The True Meaning of the 12 Days of Christmas

By Dr. Rich Swier

During Christmas season many listen to the song the “12 Days of Christmas” but they do not truly understand the meaning of each of the gifts given to each and everyone of us during those 12 days.

The song, “The Twelve Days of Christmas” is an English Christmas carol. From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of the Church.

Christianity.com explains that, The 12 days of Christmas in Christian tradition signifies the time between the birth of Christ and the arrival of the three wise men, also known as the Magi. It starts on December 25, which is celebrated as Christmas Day, and lasts until January 6, which is the Epiphany, also referred to as Three Kings’ Day.”

Twelve Days of Christmas Carol with Lyrics & They’re Meaning

Here are the 12 Gifts from God depicted in the 12 Days of Christmas:

1. A Partridge in a Pear Tree

The partridge in a pear tree represents Jesus, the Son of God, whose birthday we celebrate on the first day of Christmas. Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge, the only bird that will die to protect its young.

2. Two Turtledoves

These twin birds represent the Old and New Testaments. So, in this gift, the singer finds the complete story of the Christian faith and God’s plan for the world. The doves are the biblical roadmap that is available to everyone.

3. Three French Hens

These birds represent faith, hope, and love. This gift hearkens back to 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter written by the Apostle Paul. It also represents the Holy Trinity: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

4. Four Calling Birds

One of the easiest facets of the song’s code to figure out these fowl are the four Gospels — Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

5. Five Gold Rings

The gift of the rings represents the first five books of the Old Testament, known as the Torah or the Pentateuch.

  1. Genesis
  2. Exodus
  3. Leviticus
  4. Numbers
  5. Deuteronomy

6. Six Geese a-Laying

These lyrics can be traced back to the first story found in the Bible. Each egg is a day in creation when God “hatched” or formed the world.

  1. God created the heavens and the earth
  2. God created the sky and seas
  3. God created the land and plants
  4. God created the sun, moon, and stars
  5. God created fish and birds
  6. God created land animals and man

7. Seven Swans a-Swimming

It would take someone quite familiar with the Bible to identify this gift. Hidden in the code are the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit:

  1. Prophecy
  2. Ministry
  3. Teaching
  4. Exhortation
  5. Giving
  6. Leading
  7. Compassion

As swans are one of the most beautiful and graceful creatures on earth, they would seem to be a perfect symbol for spiritual gifts.

8. Eight Maids-a-Milking

As Christ came to save even the lowest of the low, this gift represents the ones who would receive his word and accept his grace. Being a milkmaid was about the worst job one could have in England during this period; this code conveyed that Jesus cared as much about servants as he did those of royal blood. The Eight Maids represent the 8 Beatitudes, from Matthew 5:3-10:

Blessed are…

  1. the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
  2. Those who mourn:  for they shall be comforted.
  3. The meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
  4. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness:  for they shall be filled.
  5. The merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
  6. The pure in heart: for they shall see God.
  7. The peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.
  8. They which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

9. Nine Ladies Dancing

These nine dancers were really the gifts known as the fruit of the Spirit. The Fruits of the Spirit include:

  1. Love
  2. Joy
  3. Peace
  4. Patience
  5. Kindness
  6. Goodness
  7. Faithfulness
  8. Gentleness
  9. Self-control

10. Ten Lords a-leaping

This is probably the easiest gift to understand. As lords were judges and in charge of the law, this code for the Ten Commandments was fairly straightforward to Christians.

  1. Thou shall have no other gods before me
  2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
  3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
  4. Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy
  5. Honor thy father and mother
  6. Thou shalt not kill
  7. Thou shalt not commit adultery
  8. Thou shalt not steal
  9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
  10. Thou shalt not covet

11. Eleven Pipers Piping

This is almost a trick question, as most think of the disciples in terms of the dozen. But when Judas betrayed Jesus and committed suicide, only eleven men carried out the gospel message. Therefore, the Eleven Pipers Piping signify the 11 Faithful Disciples:

  1. Simon (whom He named Peter)
  2. Andrew
  3. James
  4. John
  5. Philip
  6. Bartholomew
  7. Matthew
  8. Thomas
  9. James, son of Alphaeus
  10. Simon, who was called the Zealot
  11. Judas, son of James
  12. Judas Iscariot was later replaced with faithful Matthias.

12. Twelve Drummers Drumming

The final gift is tied directly to the Catholic Church. The drummers are the 12 points of doctrine in the Apostles’ Creed.

  1. I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
  2. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
  3. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
  4. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
  5. He descended into hell. On the third day, He rose again.
  6. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
  7. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
  8. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
  9. the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints,
  10. the forgiveness of sins,
  11. the resurrection of the body,
  12. and the life everlasting.

We have been reporting on how “Beijing” Biden and his foreign policies have lead to war in Europe between Russian and Ukraine, in the Middle East between Israel and Iran’s proxies Hamas and Hezbollah and in South America with the invasion of Guyana by Communist Venezuela.

Now we have this breaking news about yet another potential war in the far East between China and Taiwan.

One America News reports, “During President Biden’s meeting with China’s Xi Xinping last month, the Chinese leader allegedly told him China still intends on taking Taiwan.”

One America’s Chief White House Correspondent Monica Paige breaks down the details in the below video.

The daughter of former President Donald J. Trump and her husband visited Kfar Aza, where they spoke with residents and members of the security forces.


For nearly two hours, only a kilometer from Gaza City and with the sound of artillery fire in the background, Ivanka and Jared went door to door and spoke with residents of the kibbutz, Maor Morvia, Shahar Shnurman, and Hen Kotler, who shared their story and the tragic stories of their friends who were murdered and abducted by Hamas on October 7th.

At the end of the tour, Kushner and Trump thanked the residents and the security and rescue officials.

WATCH: Trump Lawyer Alina Habba: Democrats Are Using ‘Corrupt Methods’

By NEWSRAEL Telling the Israeli Story

Alina Habba, lawyer for Donald Trump, spoke to Alana Mastrangelo at Turning Point USA’s #amfest2023 about the “corrupt methods” through the courts that the left is using to try to defeat the former president because they are afraid they will lose at the ballot box.


Two days later, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump could not appear on the state’s primary ballot.

Former President Donald Trump is not shaken by the 4-3 decision of the Colorado Supreme Court disqualifying him from being on the state’s GOP primary ballot, Trump lawyer Alina Habba told Breitbart News Daily, explaining that it is just “another day” for him.

“It’s another day. I mean, I would love to tell you he’s shaken by it. But he’s not,” Habba said when asked about where Trump’s head is after hearing this news. “It’s another day.”

“This is the way they’ve been treating him since 2015. It just shows you how much he loves the country. He’s willing to sacrifice every piece of his life, including his family, his businesses, for the sake of the country. So he’s strong,” she continued.

“He’s stronger than ever. He’s still on the campaign trail. He’s clearly leading. And that’s why they’re attacking him so hard,” she continued.

BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY: Muslim cleric, ‘Oh Allah, punish the infidels. Oh Allah, let us inherit their homes, wealth, and land.’ thumbnail

BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY: Muslim cleric, ‘Oh Allah, punish the infidels. Oh Allah, let us inherit their homes, wealth, and land.’

By Jihad Watch

He prays: “Oh Allah, destroy their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers.”

That is based on this Qur’an passage: “It is he who has caused those among the people of the book who disbelieved to go forth from their homes to the first exile. You did not think that they would go forth, while they thought that their strongholds would protect them from Allah. But Allah reached them from a place they did not expect, and cast terror in their hearts so that they ruined their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So learn a lesson, O you who have eyes.” (59:2)

“Bayonne, New Jersey Friday Sermon: The People Of Gaza Are Guarding The Dignity Of The Muslim Nation; Oh Allah, Let Us Inherit The Homes, Lands Of The Infields, May Their Wealth, Children, Their Lives Become Booty For The Muslims,” MEMRI, December 15, 2023:

In a December 15, 2023 Friday sermon delivered at the Bayonne Mosque and Community Center in New Jersey and streamed live on the mosque’s YouTube channel, an unnamed preacher said that the people of Gaza are guarding the dignity of the Muslim nation, and he prayed that Allah will grant them victory. He asked Allah to punish the infidels, to allow the Muslims to inherit the homes, lands, and wealth of the infidels, and to take their children and lives as booty.

Preacher: “Today, we are making the same supplication [as the Prophet did] for the group of people remaining in Gaza today, who are protecting and guarding the remaining dignity of the Muslim nation, and Allah be praised, before what happened on October 7, I met a brother from Gaza, and I said that to him.

[…]

“And I said to him: ‘You are protecting the remaining dignity and honor, and some kind of respect for this nation.’ So I always make that supplication. When you think about it that way, that they are protecting the remaining dignity, the remaining sort of… kind of like… to show some power of this nation – it is our brothers and sisters in Gaza. We ask Allah to protect them. We ask Allah to grant them victory.

[…]

“Oh Allah, punish the infidels, come upon them from wherever they do not expect. Oh Allah, instill fear into their hearts. Oh Allah, destroy their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. Oh Allah, let us inherit their homes, wealth, and land where we have not set foot yet. Oh Allah, turn them, their wealth, their children, and their lives into booty for Islam and the Muslims. Oh Allah, turn them into booty for Islam and the Muslims. Oh Allah, send down the heavenly army. Oh Allah, send down the heavenly army. Oh Allah, annihilate them, for they are no match for You. Oh Allah, bring down upon them Your punishment, from which criminals cannot escape.”

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps plotted to murder dissident TV anchors in London

“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)

Double-Agent Reveals IRGC Plot To Kill Iran International TV Anchors

Iran International, December 20, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The IRGC was plotting to assassinate two Iran International television anchors in London in 2022 amid Iranian anti-government protests, UK’s ITV has revealed.

The plan was foiled because the man hired to do the job turned out to be a ‘double-agent’ working for a western intelligence agency. He would relay all information to his handler and has now shared some details with ITV.

Based on irrefutable evidence –seen and verified by ITV and multiple officials– the plot was commissioned and signed off by Mohammad Reza Ansari, the IRGC commander in charge of assassinations outside Iran.

Ansari is the ‘mastermind’ behind failed plots to assassinate former US officials Mike Pompeo and John Bolton –for which he’s been sanctioned by the US treasury. He is based in Syria and is reported to have links with the family of the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

According to ITV, Ansari hired and directed the hitman (Ismail) through another Assad associate, Mohammad Abd al-Razek Kanafani, requiring him first to use a car bomb and then a ‘quiet’ way to kill his targets: “simply stab [them] with a kitchen knife.”

The plot was cynically codenamed the “wedding”. The targets, Sima Sabet and Fardad Farahzad, were “bride” and “groom”. They did not know about the details of the plot until told by ITV during the making of the report.

Ismail, a people-smuggler turned IRGC operative and then double-agent, was promised $200,000, a new identity and safe passage to Iran via Syria.

This seems to have become the IRGC’s preferred method recently, using criminals rather than sympathizers or members of affiliated, non-Iranian militant groups, as was the case years back….

Fetterman: I Didn’t Leave the Left, It Left Me thumbnail

Fetterman: I Didn’t Leave the Left, It Left Me

By Jihad Watch

“I don’t feel like I’ve left the label; it’s just more that it’s left me.”

An interesting line with a lot of history to it from Sen. Jon Fetterman on dumping the “progressive” label he used to use.

“I don’t feel like I’ve left the label; it’s just more that it’s left me.”

President Reagan would often quip, “I didn’t leave the Democratic party, the Democratic Party left me.” Similar lines have been used by everyone from Bill Maher, “It’s not me who’s changed, it is the left” to Elon Musk.

It’s hard to say exactly what’s going on with Fetterman after his medical issues, but a dividing line seems to have been the Left’s support for Hamas, but he’s also embraced a species of economic populism, fighting against land sales to China, and Japan’s takeover of U.S. Steel.

While Fetterman had never been a foreign policy guy, he did explicitly break with the far left on Israel during his campaign.

“I would also respectfully say that I’m not really a progressive in that sense,” he added. “Our campaign is based on core Democratic values and principles, and always has been, and there is no daylight between myself and these kinds of unwavering commitments to Israel’s security.”

Still, Fetterman said he was “eager to affirm” his positions on the record, lest there be any uncertainty among supporters of Israel who have similar questions. “I want to go out of my way to make sure that it’s absolutely clear,” he told JI, “that the views that I hold in no way go along the lines of some of the more fringe or extreme wings of our party.”

The Left did not take that seriously and assumed he was just pandering. Now they’re finding out that he really meant it.

So this did not come out of nowhere. And it’s not just about Israel.

He has also publicly encouraged Democrats in recent days to engage in border negotiations with Republicans, talks that have outraged progressives who object to efforts to clamp down on migration through the United States border with Mexico.

“I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have a secured border,” Mr. Fetterman said in the interview, conducted over Zoom. “I would never put Dreamers in harm’s way, or support any kind of cruelty or mass expulsion of hundreds of thousands of people. But it’s a reasonable conversation to talk about the border.”

Now this may be a canny rebranding.

A moderate Democrat who emphasizes economic populism, border security and steers clear of crazier leftist stuff, has much better odds of holding on to a Pennsylvania Senate seat.

Fetterman would never have taken office if Republicans hadn’t run a Turkish Muslim leftist trainwreck like Mehmet Oz who appealed to no one except Oprah viewers (and they mostly vote Democrat anyway). Next time, Republicans may actually find a candidate that people might actually vote for. But next time around is a long time away and Fetterman doesn’t need to be picking fights with the Left.

The short version seems to be that he may be a leftist, but he’s an old-school leftist who actually doesn’t much like the Left.

The media castigates him for associating with Bernie Sanders, but Bernie was actually an old-school leftist who used to be against identity politics, culture wars and open borders. Under pressure, he jettisoned all of his views and became a generic woke. (At which point most people lost interest in him. Eventually so did the Left.)

Fetterman has pushed back against the pressure. Unlike Bernie, he refuses to be intimidated by people screaming at him.

Despite the headline, he hasn’t left the Left, but he’s not interested in the progressive label which tends to signify upper class wokeness.

The Pennsylvania senator said he still aligns with many progressive goals, including a $15 minimum wage, universal health care, legalizing marijuana and abolishing the Senate filibuster.

But he said he no longer relates to the overarching label of “progressive” — especially as the left has become more interested in demanding what he described as “purity tests.”

“It’s just a place where I’m not,” he said. “I don’t feel like I’ve left the label; it’s just more that it’s left me.

“I’m not critical if someone is a progressive,” he added. “I believe different things.”

Fetterman is currently for fracking, and also for lots of social welfare. That is old-school leftism. It’s also fairly popular.

There’s a whole lot more support for social welfare than there is for culture wars, drag queens and Islamic terrorism. Not to mention radical environmentalism.

The old progressives used to argue (not even all that long ago) that they should run on a straight class warfare platform while shedding all the other garbage. This used to be the main argument for a Bernie Sanders campaign. Except that garbage is hard to shed. Just ask Bernie.

Fetterman is shedding a lot of the garbage. This doesn’t make him an ex-leftist or a friend to conservatives, but it makes him something worse: a serious threat to the Left as it currently is.

VIDEO & COMMENTARY: On The Communist State Of The West

By Vlad Tepes Blog

It seems some of the big guys are calling it like it is.

WATCH: Discussing Communism in All Its Glory | Michael Malice

READ: Mark Steyn lands on the line in his article “You Make Me Feel So Jung”

A small sample:

[…]

Dennis Prager equates the mutilation of American schoolgirls with the enforced clitoridectomies of Muslim females – and he’s correct that it destroys whatever claim to moral superiority the west might once have had: it’s not merely the transformation of “the formerly good into the bad” but of the formerly good into the evil. It is not Putin or Chairman Xi or the mullahs who are slicing the breasts off thousands of middle-schoolers and rendering them infertile.

If you feel a wee bit queasy about mutilating little girls, well, unless you’re as rich as JK Rowling, better shut up, hater. Nevertheless, there are, as Marx would have said, internal contradictions in the new Utopia.

[…]

Unlike the constitution-wavers of the American right, the left does not live in abstractions. It makes hard-power calculations on what’s useful to them. Muslims are, and Jews aren’t. Tough, but, like the mobsters say, nothing personal, strictly business. Thus, according to Canada’s state-funded national broadcaster, “Israel started the Hamas war” – while that whole October 7th unpleasantness was just a bit of freelance rape and murder one has to accept (per Sadiq Khan) as the occasional price of living in a great global city kibbutz.

[…]

But, at the top, the people who are doing this to us are not doing it “unconsciously”. They understand very clearly that the new utopia can only be built on a mountain of corpses – from myocarditis, from body positivity, from diversity stabbings, from whatever it takes. I said some years ago that those tearing down statues of every king, queen and prime minister would soon move on to actual human beings: if you are determined to erase the entirety of the past, why would you balk at the abolition of human biology? In both cases, it is to ensure that there is no path back: no nation, no community, no family, no civilisational inheritance. You can only stagger onward, deeper into the void.

Heraclitus said “cold things warm, warm things cool, wet things dry and parched things get wet”. But even he might have been surprised to see men become women, and ugly men become beauty queens, and people who remember when only women were women become social pariahs. There is no “hypocrisy” or “inconsistency”; au contraire, it is admirably consistent: What serves the left’s interest is the destruction of all norms and of all the most basic societal building-blocks – and of the widespread confusion and disorientation that follows. For in chaos all things are possible: Forty per cent of French pre-schoolers are of a “migrant background“. There’s another one for Heraclitus: French children become non-French. But don’t worry, because soon all children will become, genetically speaking, non-anything – just as soon as they’ve perfected that “male womb“.

U.S. Army BG (Ret.) John Adams: Will Biden Administration continue support or obstruct Israel’s victory over Hamas in Gaza? thumbnail

U.S. Army BG (Ret.) John Adams: Will Biden Administration continue support or obstruct Israel’s victory over Hamas in Gaza?

By Jerry Gordon

Jerry Gordon, a Senior Editor of The New English Review, invited retired U.S. Army Brigadier General John Adams (Ret.) for this fourth in a series of discussions on Israel Defense Force military doctrine and strategic options in the conduct of the Jewish state’s civilizational war with Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group in Gaza. He addresses the conflict given his extensive background as a 30-year veteran of combat, staff and international military diplomatic assignments and post-service informal analysis and discussions with former Senior IDF commanders.

Among the issues covered in this wide-ranging discussion are:

  1. Biden Administration attempts to force Israel to “scale down” Gaza operations conflicts with IDF objective of destroying and displacing jihadist Hamas.
  2. Biden Administration “day after” two state solution, modeled on failed 1993 Oslo Accords, is rejected by the Netanyahu government because of national security concerns. PLO – Fatah was routed by Hamas in 2006 Gaza elections and both groups share same objective: destruction of Jewish state.
  3. Discovery of massive Hamas tunnel near Israeli Erez Gaza crossings and failure of border high tech Iron Wall in Hamas breach on October 7th – Israel’s “Maginot Line” – are priorities to be investigated in post-conflict intelligence failures investigation.
  4. Hamas discussions with Egyptian intelligence on new round of pauses include release of 40 to 50 of remaining Israeli captive in exchange for longer pause and increased humanitarian aid and release of Israeli Palestinian security prisoners.
  5. Other “Day After” solutions reviewed include “One State” proposal by noted Israeli geo-political commentator Caroline Glick based on Arab Clan governance of municipalities and pathway to Israeli citizenship and New State proposal of former Senior IDF officers- an expansion of Gaza into Egyptian Sinai – “Singapore” on Mediterranean Coast.
  6. Iran is behind proxy Yemen’s Houthi rebel drone and ballistic missile attacks in support of Hamas in Gaza threaten global war and maritime risks in Red Sea and transit via Suez Canal. USS Destroyer Carney successfully repulsed Houthi drone and missile attacks.  Defense Secretary Austin announced formation of international maritime task force in Operation Prosperity Guardians composed of US, Britain, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain.
  7. Iran is also behind Hizballah as it threatens rocket and precision guided missile barrages to northern and central Israel. Hizballah has an inventory of upwards of 150,00 rickets and missiles. The IDF has conducted air attacks, in response to rocket and mortar attacks. Israel has evacuated an estimated 200,000 from both northern and southern communities. Defense Minister Gallant announced possible limited incursion of 18 kilometers to Litani river in Southern Lebanon to destroy Hizballah positions. The Biden Administration maintains one US Navy Carrier Battle Group offshore Lebanon (another CBG is in the Persian Gulf) to prevent a widening war in the Middle East.
  8. Israel needs to complete its mission of destroying or displacing Hamas without significant delays to avoid rising costs to its economy.

WATCH: Will Biden Administration continue support or obstruct Israel victory over Hamas in Gaza War?

Federal Judge Rejects Bid To Remove Trump From West Virginia Ballot thumbnail

Federal Judge Rejects Bid To Remove Trump From West Virginia Ballot

By The Daily Caller

A federal judge rejected a bid Thursday to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot in West Virginia.

Obama-appointed district judge Irene Berger ruled that John Anthony Castro, the little-known presidential candidate who brought the lawsuit to remove Trump, lacked standing to sue. The decision comes days after Colorado’s Supreme Court found Trump was ineligible to appear on the state’s ballot under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, likely setting up Supreme Court review of the issue.

“The evidence establishes that [Castro] has no campaign offices, staff, or advertising in West Virginia, does not appear in polling, has little name recognition among West Virginia Republican primary voters, and has extremely minimal campaign funds, vastly insufficient to run an actual campaign,” Berger wrote. “If there were any question as to whether the allegations in the complaint are sufficient to overcome a facial challenge, the evidentiary submissions remove any doubt that Mr. Castro’s purported ‘campaign’ exists as a vehicle for pursuing litigation, not votes.”

Federal judges in Arizona and Rhode Island likewise found Castro lacked standing because he is not seriously running for office. The Supreme Court declined in October to hear the appeal of a case Castro brought in Florida.

In the West Virginia case attempting to kick President Trump off the ballot, we have prevailed. Strong victory for our Office and the rule of law!

Colorado should learn from the wisdom of our courts!

— Patrick Morrisey (@MorriseyWV) December 21, 2023

“This is a big win for the integrity of our elections,” said Republican West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey in a statement, according to News and Sentinel. “This lawsuit was frivolous to begin with and without merit – it had no basis in either law or fact. Any eligible candidate has the right to be on the ballot unless legally disqualified, and we will defend the laws of West Virginia and the right of voters and candidates to the fullest.”

The Colorado Supreme Court put its ruling against Trump on hold until Jan. 4. If Trump files an appeal before that date, the ruling will remain paused and the Secretary of State will be required to place his name on the ballot on the Jan. 5 certification deadline, as long as the justices do not intervene.

In Colorado, the lawsuit to remove Trump was brought by the left-wing donor backed group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW).

A Higher Education Embarrassment: Brown University Offshore Wind Report is a Disgrace thumbnail

A Higher Education Embarrassment: Brown University Offshore Wind Report is a Disgrace

By John Droz, Jr.

Last week I received an email from an editor of a national media outlet, asking for my comments on a Brown University Report regarding offshore wind energy. I found that this was put out by CDL self-described as: “The Climate and Development Lab is a student-faculty think tank informing a more just, equitable and effective climate change policy.”

Note: even though I was “prominently mentioned” in this report (16 times!), no one from CDL/Brown bothered to contact me to verify what they wrote about me was accurate. Not surprisingly, most of it was irrelevantmisleading, or false. Their likely defense is that they just copied what they found on the Internet. Clearly, double-checking would be an unreasonable burden. Worse it might reveal that some of their underlying, unscientific narrative might crumble.

Not surprisingly, this report is rife with errors of omission and commission — way too many to go into in a commentary of this length. To keep this digestible, let’s just briefly look at the assignment itself…

It appears that the Brown Pied Piper professor instructed the children to do something like this:

  1. Get the names of all the main US people opposed to offshore wind.
  2. Guess who they connect with regarding offshore wind.
  3. Speculate about any funding involved, and where it may come from.
  4. Cast aspersions willy-nilly, to try to undermine their credibility.

The first question is: let’s say the neophytes do a competent job fulfilling the oracle’s commands: What then? What meaningful bearing on the offshore wind energy issue would this have? None. Zip. Nada.

A second question is: did the high priest direct his acolytes to do a similar report about offshore wind proponents? Not surprisingly, there is no evidence of that. Does that sound “just and equitable”?

I’m only a physicist, but if these were my students, an assignment I’d give them on this topic would be:

  1. Get the names of all the main US people opposed to offshore wind.
  2. Carefully document each of their objections to offshore wind (e.g., mine are here).
  3. Equitably assess the merits of each of their objections.
  4. Comprehensively and objectively determine whether offshore wind is a net societal benefit.

Now the students would be: a) producing a report that has real value, b) getting educated about a national energy issue, and c) learning how to separate the wheat from the chaff. Such an assignment is designed to undermine cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias — rather than reinforce these (i.e., what this “report” does).

Put another way, in my recommendation the students would actually be doing Critical Thinking about the offshore wind issue — whereas there was zero Critical Thinking in the CDL/Brown assignment they were subjected to.

As readers know I’m extremely concerned that our education system is annually producing millions of non-critical thinking lemmings (e.g., see my Education Report). This sad story is just one of many solid pieces of evidence that this is continuing to happen.

P.S. — I sent the Big Cheese and his entourage a polite but pointed email about this travesty. So far no response.

Democrat Representative Calls the American Israel Public Affairs Committee an ‘Existential Threat to Blacks’ thumbnail

Democrat Representative Calls the American Israel Public Affairs Committee an ‘Existential Threat to Blacks’

By The Geller Report

Martin Luther King is throwing up in his grave.

Someone ought to give this ignorant bigot a history lesson.

MLK said: “Peace for Israel means security, and we must stand with all our might to protect its right to exist, its territorial integrity. I see Israel, and never mind saying itas one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land almost can be transformed into an oasis of brotherhood and democracy. Peace for Israel means security and that security must be a reality.”

Notably, these remarks occurred over 10 months after Israel’s victory in the Six Day War, when Israel, in a defensive war, gained control of Judea and Samaria (the so-called “West Bank”) from Jordan, after Jordan attacked Israel.

MLK also strongly rejected the entire “I am only anti-Zionist, not antisemitic” claptrap that so many Israel haters try to sell. In 1967, MLK was at an event in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a student asked him a question that referred derisively to Zionists. MLK’s immediate response: “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking antisemitism!”

Ten years earlier, in 1957, MLK described the Middle East and North Africa (with the exception of Israel) as being “the last vestiges of feudalism.” And in 1967, the same year when MLK clearly expressed his understanding of how anti-Zionism is antisemitism, MLK said the Middle East and North Africa was controlled by “Arab feudal rulers” who “ignore the plight of their own people” and leave them “in a state of imposed poverty and backwardness.”

Democratic congresswoman calls AIPAC ‘existential threat to blacks’

Member of far-left ‘Squad’ accuses pro-Israel lobby group of racism for not backing her over her ‘blatant anti-Israel positions.’

By World Israel News Staff, December 22, 2023:

A Democratic congresswoman has accused America’s largest pro-Israel lobby group of racism, citing its failure to support her as a result of her anti-Israel positions.

Summer Lee (D-PA), a former member of the Democratic Socialists of America and member of the far-left ‘Squad’ of progressive Democrats in the House of Representatives, took aim at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) recently, over the lobby group’s criticism of her stance vis-à-vis Israel.

Writing in a series of posts in a private Facebook group last month, Lee excoriated AIPAC for not endorsing her because of what the group called her “blatant anti-Israel positions,” Politico revealed.

“AIPAC is not supporting those Black candidates to be supportive of their community’s needs if the only issue it cares about is their own. That’s textbook racism actually.”

In another post, Lee said the pro-Israel lobby group constituted an “existential threat” to African Americans.

“Since no one else will say it, I will: AIPAC is an existential threat to the Black community and its right to self [determination].”

Rising Wave of Islamic Violence Grips France: A Daily Jihad thumbnail

Rising Wave of Islamic Violence Grips France: A Daily Jihad

By The Geller Report

France may have reached peak “cultural enrichment,” having reached its sorry state of enduring daily acts of Islamic violence against citizens.

While the influence of Islam is less marked among older Muslims, 74% of Muslims between the ages of 18 and 25 in France say they place Islamic sharia law above the laws of the French Republic.

A surge in Islamic violence, including knife attacks and anti-Semitic incidents, is causing widespread concern in France.

By Guy Millière, Gatestone, December 2023:

From the murder of Sébastien Sellam in 2003 to that of Mireille Knoll in 2018, all murders of Jews in France have been committed by radicalized Muslims.

Shouting “we are coming to kill white people”, they attacked, murdering Thomas Perotto, aged 17, who had his throat slit.

Seventeen other people were wounded, some seriously. Criminologist Xavier Raufer, asked about the attack, replied that raids like that take place throughout the country every week.

Although the prosecutor in charge of the case received multiple testimonies that the attackers said they were “coming to kill white people,” authorities maintain that the motive for the attack is “unknown”.

74% of Muslims between the ages of 18 and 25 in France say they place Islamic sharia law above the laws of the French Republic.

Television journalist Christian Malard, who had access to the results of confidential inquiries carried out for the French Ministry of the Interior, said they show that more than half of the imams in France proclaim the superiority of Islam over Western culture and the need to Islamize France, even if that means using force.

The anti-Jewish atrocities by Hamas on October 7 reinforced a distrust of Islam, and for the first time in years, a majority of French people support Israel’s fight in the ongoing war.

Paris, December 2, 2023. 9 pm. A man shouting “Allahu Akbar!” (“Allah is the greatest!”) stabbed a German tourist walking along the Seine near the Eiffel Tower, an area considered safe. On the way to the hospital, the victim died.

The murderer, again shouting, “Allahu Akbar!”, attacked two more people, seriously wounding them, before the police arrested him. A government press release quickly mentioned that the killer was a French citizen, born in France, with the exceedingly French first name of Armand.

Then reality struck. Armand was indeed born in France in 1997, but his original first name was Iman (full name: Iman Rajabpour-Miyandoab) — until 2003, when his Iranian parents, who had fled the Islamic Republic, became French citizens and changed his name to Armand.

In 2015-2016, he proclaimed his allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and made contact on social networks with many Islamists who had perpetrated terror attacks in France in that time period, and he planned a terrorist attack in Paris.

Before he could execute his plan, in 2016, he was arrested and sentenced to five years in prison. He was released after four years, and placed on the state’s list of particularly dangerous individuals.

On the afternoon of December 2, 2023, he filmed a video in which he announced that he wanted to “avenge the Muslims” and kill infidels – exactly what he did a few hours later.

The daughter of fmr. President Trump and her husband visited Kfar Aza, where they spoke with residents and members of the security forces.


For nearly two hours, only a kilometer from Gaza City and with the sound of artillery fire in the background, Ivanka and Jared went door to door and spoke with residents of the kibbutz, Maor Morvia, Shahar Shnurman, and Hen Kotler, who shared their story and the tragic stories of their friends who were murdered and abducted by Hamas on October 7th.

At the end of the tour, Kushner and Trump thanked the residents and the security and rescue officials.

The United States Just Emulated Neville Chamberlain, and We Know Where That Led thumbnail

The United States Just Emulated Neville Chamberlain, and We Know Where That Led

By NEWSRAEL Telling the Israeli Story

As expected, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, for Israel to let all aid go unchecked into Gaza—without condemning Hamas.


The vote was 13 in favor and zero against… with both the U.S. and Russia abstaining.

The ramifications of this, as well as what it shows about the United States, are significant and disturbing and need to be understood by not only every Jew but by every American.

Had the United States vetoed the resolution, it would have failed because the U.S., a permanent member of the Security Council, can stop any resolution with a veto. UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield whined after abstaining that she couldn’t understand why other members would not condemn Hamas. She complained that the other members weren’t stopping evil and said that she was appalled about the silence of the evils of Hamas.

But when it came to the actual vote, she and the United States remained silent.

When the United Nations attacked Israel with a resolution that would ultimately hurt every Jew in the world, the United States chose to be silent. Our ambassador whined but did nothing… and all the political double-speak doesn’t change the fact that the United States tacitly approved of an attack on the world stage against Israel for defending herself against Hamas, the most evil and depraved organization since the Nazis.

The ramifications of this resolution will be significant for every American and the whole world. Because it is a Security Council resolution, it is considered “binding” for U.N. countries. This means that if they choose to, the UN can impose international sanctions against Israel if they do not abide by the resolution, which the antisemitic UN undoubtedly will). Simply put, if Israel doesn’t allow “humanitarian aid” to go unchecked into Gaza (where it will be used for Haams’ war effort, not for the Gazan people), devastating economic sanctions could be placed against Israel.

For Jews worldwide, this is equally as devastating. This resolution empowers all the Jew-haters to attack Israel even more. It gives them a moral right to condemn Israel—and all Jews. It emboldens university presidents to allow Jew hatred on campuses to go unchecked. It unleashes Jew hatred with the UN’s stamp of approval.

All because the United States chose to remain silent by abstaining.

Despite the words of the ambassador, the cowardice of the U.S. action should be despicable not just to Jews but to every American.  The U.S. has made it clear that when push comes to shove, they will abandon Israel. As American allies see us abandoning Israel—the greatest ally we have and the only democracy in that region—those allies will start to question their own relationships with the United States. Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) once said (paraphrasing) that if for no other reason than this, the United States must always support Israel unconditionally… for if we don’t, other allies will turn towards Russia and China as opposed to trusting us.

This abstention by the United States in the face of evil parallels Neville Chamberlain’s demonstration of weakness in the face of Nazi Germany with the Munich Agreement in 1938. The question we must ask is if this will have the same long-term effect of supporting the modern Nazis of Hamas.

To avoid that horrible consequence that we saw 85 years ago, every American needs to challenge the U.S. government’s stand on Israel that they demonstrated today. Every Jew and every prescient American needs to do whatever is necessary to get the United States back to the policy of supporting Israel on the world stage.

If not, we may, God forbid, find ourselves in a repeat worldwide of the horrors of the last century.

We must act for the sake of Israel, Judaism, Christianity (remember that Christians are also infidels, according to Hamas), the United States, and the world.

Alina Habba, lawyer for Donald Trump, spoke to Alana Mastrangelo at Turning Point USA’s #amfest2023 about the “corrupt methods” through the courts that the left is using to try to defeat the former president because they are afraid they will lose at the ballot box.


Two days later, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump could not appear on the state’s primary ballot.

Former President Donald Trump is not shaken by the 4-3 decision of the Colorado Supreme Court disqualifying him from being on the state’s GOP primary ballot, Trump lawyer Alina Habba told Breitbart News Daily, explaining that it is just “another day” for him.

“It’s another day. I mean, I would love to tell you he’s shaken by it. But he’s not,” Habba said when asked about where Trump’s head is after hearing this news. “It’s another day.”

“This is the way they’ve been treating him since 2015. It just shows you how much he loves the country. He’s willing to sacrifice every piece of his life, including his family, his businesses, for the sake of the country. So he’s strong,” she continued.

“He’s stronger than ever. He’s still on the campaign trail. He’s clearly leading. And that’s why they’re attacking him so hard,” she continued.

‘A Very Great Day’: Trump Attorney Reacts To SCOTUS Giving Jack Smith A Legal Lump Of Coal thumbnail

‘A Very Great Day’: Trump Attorney Reacts To SCOTUS Giving Jack Smith A Legal Lump Of Coal

By The Daily Caller

An attorney for former President Donald Trump celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision Friday not to accept a request for expedited review by special counsel Jack Smith.

The high court denied Smith’s request to provide expedited review of an appeal of a district court ruling by United States District Judge Tanya Chutkan that rejected a motion by Trump’s attorneys to dismiss the charges. “I’m really pleased with the Supreme Court, it really restored my faith in my profession, frankly,” Alina Habba told “Kudlow” guest host David Asman.

“The Supreme Court saw through this. There was no urgent application necessary by Jack Smith. He was trying to usurp the appellate division and go right up to the Supreme Court to have them hear issues of presidential immunity, which is an absolute immunity that presidents have for a very good reason. Frankly so they don’t have to have DAs and AGs come after them after their presidency in this political witch hunt, and the Supreme Court will today say that Jack Smith did not have reason to do so. He needed to stay the course, go through the normal procedures as everybody else, he had no urgency, and there was no dissent in the Supreme Court’s decisions. So, it was a very great day for team Trump, and we’ll keep pushing.”

Chutkan paused pre-trial proceedings during the appeals process Dec. 13. Smith secured a four-count indictment against Trump in August relating to his efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election.

WATCH:

“Normal due process in America has its place, and we can’t try to rush due process when it suits them,” Habba said. “They have year-long investigations and brought all these cases, David, right before the election so that he’s not on the campaign trail, so he’s out there doing nothing to help his campaign.”

“Instead what they don’t realize, which I think the polls show is that the more you try and attack Trump, the more they try to tie him up in the witch hunts and court cases, they’re going to get stopped and they’re going to be seen by the Americans as an attempt to usurp the GOP and Republican Party,” Habba continued.

Habba also took aim at the Colorado Supreme Court, which disqualified Trump in a 4-3 ruling Tuesday, citing the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause.

“When we go through the proceedings, it’ll show there was nothing done wrong and there’s issues with the election integrity and the president had reason for them to ask to look into it,” Habba said. “It would be the first insurrection without weapons.”

Goodness, What an Unpleasant Little Creature This Greta Thunberg Turns Out to Be thumbnail

Goodness, What an Unpleasant Little Creature This Greta Thunberg Turns Out to Be

By Jihad Watch

Greta Thunberg has been commenting on the climate conference just held in Dubai. Her appalling remarks can be found here: “Greta Thunberg slams COP28 climate deal and Israel, waves Palestinian flag,” by Maayan Jaffe-Hoffman, Jerusalem Post, December 17, 2023:

Thunberg, 20, has been “standing with Gaza” since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, not only on social media but also at rallies. She was recently filmed chanting “crush Zionism” at a pro-Palestinian rally in Sweden.

When Greta Thunberg slams the COP28 climate deal and Israel, while she waves the Palestinian flag and cries “crush Zionism,” does she have any idea that Israel is, climate-warningly speaking, on the side of the angels, and the Arabs on the side of the devils? I doubt that Thunberg is aware that Israeli scientists have made their tiny country a leader in solar technology, and Israeli solar companies work on projects all over the world; the Jewish state has done more to help the world move away from fossil fuels than all 22 members of the Arab League combined. But it probably would have no effect; Ms. Thunberg has made up her mind: Israel is the oppressor, the Palestinians are the oppressed, and there’s an end on’t. Please don’t try to confuse her with facts.

Goodness, what an unpleasant little creature this Thunberg turns out to be. She’s not for a “two-state solution.” She’s not for a “ceasefire.” No, she wants to “crush Zionism,” which means she wants to put paid — violently — to the tiny Jewish state. And what about the Israeli Jews? Oh, they can scatter to the winds. Why should she care? She’s saving the world.

It takes a moral idiot to “stand with Gaza,” which means “stand with Hamas,” when that same Hamas has just provided the world with a catalogue of horrors. Hamas, the terror group that Greta Thunberg stands with, on October 7 had 3,000 of its operatives swarm into Israeli kibbutzim, where they killed more Jews than had been killed at any time since the Holocaust. But it was not simple killing. No, it was diabolical in its insensate cruelty. Hamas operatives beheaded babies, burned children alive, gang-raped, tortured, and murdered young girls, sliced the breasts off women, gouged out the eyes, and cut off the genitalia off men, murdered children in front of their parents and parents in front of their children, sliced open the stomach of a pregnant woman, pulled out the fetus before killing the mother. They videotaped each other, as they raped, tortured, mutilated, and murdered. They called home, to excitedly tell their proud parents that “I killed ten Jews with my own hands!” These are the people Greta Thunberg is “standing with” when — after October 7 — she “stands with Gaza.”

“The final outcome of #COP28 is not a ‘historic win,’” Thunberg tweeted. “It is yet another example of extremely vague and watered-down texts full of loopholes that in no way is even close to being sufficient for staying within the 1.5° limit and ensuring climate justice.

“Phasing out fossil fuels is a bare minimum,” she wrote in the three-part thread. “We need drastic immediate emission cuts and binding commitments from the largest contributors of [sic]the climate crisis to finance loss and damages, adaptation and a just transition in the most affected areas.”…

Running off at the mouth, is Greta Thunberg. It’s all very well, what she says — she’s asking for the moon and sixpence — but she’s like the Miss America contestant who solemnly tells the judges that when she is not reading Camus and Dostoyevsky, she is “working for world peace” and hopes “to achieve it by the time I’m thirty.” Thunberg offers a wish list — and so can I, and so can any man — but not a single hint as to how her desired climate future will come about. She wants a “phasing out of fossil fuels.” Okay. But which ones in what order? By what date? And to be replaced by what other sources of energy? How do we choose between, say, nuclear power and solar energy? Or solar and wind? Questions, Greta, questions you are incapable of answering..

And why is it, Greta Thunberg, that you did not discuss the real obstacle at the COP28 meeting — the opposition of the Arabs to anything less vague than that adopted promise “to transition away from fossil fuels” in a “just, equitable, and orderly manner”? Or are these mere “details” too trivial for Greta Thunberg, World’s Greatest Authority, to think about?

In October, she posted a photo on X in which she and her friends held signs like “Free Palestine,” “Stand with Gaza,” “This Jew Stands with Palestine,” and “Climate Justice Now.” After that post, the Education Ministry said it would remove any mentions of the climate activist as a “role model” from the nation’s public school curriculum.

Good for the Swedish Education Ministry, that has determined that her anti-Israel remarks disqualify her from being held up as someone for schoolgirls to emulate. Keep on saving the world, Greta. Stick to that. You’ll do less damage that way. And for god’s sake, leave little Israel, now fighting for its survival, alone.
