Savannah Guthrie didn’t interview Pres Trump, she aggressively debated him. Trump was cool yet relentless in getting his messages out. He was well prepared and polite. In effect he got an hour of press time to make his own case and he used it adroitly. Try as she might, she didn’t lay a glove on him. Start at 9:00 minutes.
This hard-hitting new TRUMP ad will surely get the MEDIA aroused.
FaceBook pulled this and will not allow a forward. But they can’t pull it from e-mail.
It’s not about fighting the virus, but punishing political and cultural enemies.
The problem isn’t just the China Virus. It’s that we adopted the China Model to fight it.
Public health experts adopted China’s draconian lockdowns without knowing how well they really worked and in a country that, fortunately, lacks the power to truly enforce them.
China’s deceptiveness and lack of transparency meant that we did not know how well anything that the Communist dictatorship did to battle the virus that it spawned actually worked. Despite that, our public health experts, and those of most free countries, adopted the China Model.

Editors’ note: Walid Phares has a new book out on the difference in foreign policy between Obama and Trump titled: The Choice: Trump vs. Obama-Biden in US Foreign Policy. Below is an exclusive excerpt – Chapter 3 – which illustrates the nightmare that Obama brought to U.S. foreign policy.
By Walid Phares, FPM
Soon after landing in the White House, President Obama initiated two major moves, which by the end of May or early June 2009 indicated where his administration was going in terms of national security and foreign policy. It was obvious to me at the time that the country was veering away from the post-9/11 posture and the so-called War on Terror and heading in the opposite direction of demobilization of America on the one hand and the activation of an apologist policy on the other in order to engage with future partners who were actually at the core of terrorism and extremism.

Sudan has reportedly decided to move forward with normalizing ties with Israel, after the US reportedly issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the country demanding that it recognize Israel in order to be removed from a US blacklist, a source close to Sudan’s leadership told i24News.
The decision was made after a heated discussion on Wednesday, according to the news station.

The “Information War” is the struggle to attack or defend the image of the State of Israel in the consciousness of the world. It is truly a world war, but the two main active fronts today are the Arabic-speaking world, where for the first time there are signs of pro-Israel initiatives, and the West.
A striking feature of the Information War in the West is the imbalance between the resources of the two sides. The pro-Israel list is much shorter. We have sporadic and uncoordinated attempts at hasbara (public diplomacy, or “propaganda,” if you prefer) by the Israeli government, the most recent of which is the allocation of funds to the Ministry of Strategic Affairs (MSA) to fight BDS and delegitimization. In 2019, MSA granted about $5.3 million to individuals and organizations. As of September 2019, it had 32 employees (Hebrew link). Al Jazeera alone has about 100 times as many.

T. Belman. The same case can be made against Twitter, FB and Instagram. We should not forget that the Democratic Party and their enablers, the MSM, repeatedly lie to create false narratives (propaganda) to misinform the public. Thank God for the alternate media and Ingraham, Hannity, Carlson, Turley and a few other

Quantum technology
(JNS) “The fax will set you free!” Years ago, that was such a hopeful rallying cry. I was among those convinced that exciting new technologies would defeat tyrants and censors. When the facsimile machine, an invention of the 19th century (look it up) came into widespread use in the 1980s, it seemed to be the sharp point of a freedom-friendly technological spear. A fax machine could do in minutes what it had taken Soviet dissidents weeks to achieve with a typewriter: make a copy of a forbidden book and transport it from one place to another.
Like Black Lives Matter riots, Muslim mobs don’t spread the virus.
By: Daniel Greenfield, FPM, Oct 13, 2020:
Every year, Shiite Muslims in Flushing, Queens conduct the Arbaeen, a procession in honor of Mohammed’s grandson whose death at the hands of a Sunni caliph marked the pivotal break between Shiites and Sunnis, slapping their faces and chests for their beheaded Imam Hussein.
Queens, once the borough that gave birth to President Trump and David Horowitz, now has a large Muslim population, and the fall processions of wailing crowds are a regular event.
The coronavirus didn’t change that.

For many decades, one of the givens in the discussion about the Arab world’s war on Israel was the role that the American and international oil industry played as a supporter of the Arab war on Zionism. One of the most important factors in sustaining the hostility of the foreign-policy establishment to Israel was the enormous influence of the huge oil companies that viewed the American relationship with Israel as a threat to their ability to do business in the Middle East. The notion of any of those corporations doing business in Israel was unthinkable since they were among the primary enablers of the Arab boycott of the Jewish state.
That’s why last week’s completion of the purchase of Noble Energy, the company that operates and holds rights to most of the natural-gas reserves off of Israel’s coastline by the Chevron Corporation, should be regarded as a milestone in the country’s economic history.

A 16-year-old boy was transferred to Zarqa Government Hospital after a group of people cut off his upper limbs and gouged out his eyes, the Public Security Directorate’s (PSD) spokesperson said on Tuesday.
The victim, who was listed in poor condition, said that a group of people took him to an uninhabited area and attacked him in revenge for a murder committed by one of his relatives, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

You may not have heard, but on August 23, a guy named Harvey Risch made some shocking accusations against Anthony Fauci.
Of course, that by itself doesn’t say much since a lot of people have accused Anthony Fauci of a lot of things since he stepped into the spotlight as the de facto leader of America’s response to COVID-19.
But Harvey Risch isn’t just anybody. Risch is a professor of epidemiology at Yale University. He has an M.D. from UC San Diego, a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and he’s published over 300 papers in a career that spans four decades.
Evidence is more positive than many in the medical community admit
By DR. JOSEPH A. LADAPO and DR. HARVEY A. RISCH,
Hydroxychloroquine is ineffective and unsafe in the treatment of COVID-19: This is the belief held by millions of Americans and many healthcare professionals. After months of randomized clinical trials yielding findings that were not statistically significant, and others reporting side effects, no one could be blamed for reaching this conclusion.
But an important slice of the hydroxychloroquine data tells a different story.
Because of the medication’s politicization, and the pernicious tendency for dissenting perspectives to be silenced during the pandemic, data supporting hydroxychloroquine’s effectiveness have been almost inaudible. But a recent analysis pooling together results of randomized clinical trials testing hydroxychloroquine’s use in early COVID-19 infection should substantially raise the volume.
Coalition chairman goes rogue after recordings of Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit surface that Likud MKs say proves that PM Netanyahu is being persecuted for political purposes.

Coalition chairman MK Miki Zohar (Likud) is saying that unless Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit resigns and cancels the indictments against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Likud will “expose him.” He later clarified that this was in no way designed as a threat aimed at intimidating the senior law enforcement official.
Zohar gave an interview to Radio 103FM on Wednesday following a report by Channel 12 News that ran recordings of conversations between Mendelblit and former head of the Israel Bar Association Effi Naveh several months before Naveh was appointed to that position.

So what’s new? High time to acknowledge the deeper problem beneath this farce

Meeting room of UN Human Rights Council, Geneva
Some of the world’s worst human rights violators have now been placed in charge of protecting the world’s human rights.
China, Russia, Cuba and Pakistan are among the 15 countries that have won seats on the UN Human Rights Council in a secret-ballot of the 193-member UN General Assembly.
China jails opponents of the regime and has sent hundreds of thousands of Uighurs into state re-education camps. Russia poisons its dissidents. Pakistan represses Christians, Hindus and Ahmadis. Cuba is a police state.
T. Belman. As it happens, I attended the University of Toronto when she did. In fact, I dated her roommate for a time. Then I went on to law school and her first husband was in my class. As a result I have followed her life quite closely.
I knew her to be an ardent Zionist. Her husband, Conrad Black, even owned the Jerusalem Post for a while as part of his newspaper Empire. It too was lost. I think when Conrad asked friends to financially support his defense costs, Donald Trump contributed $10,000 as I recall.
The Memoir of Barbara Amiel, Who Confounded the Gossips in a Story for Our Time
By SETH LIPSKY, Special to the Sun | October 13, 2020
One of the things that made me look forward to reading Barbara Amiel’s new memoir is something she said shortly before her husband, Conrad Black, departed for prison. It was at a dinner for him at the Breakers in Palm Beach, where ten or so editors had gathered to buoy his spirits. At some point during the evening, I leaned over to Barbara and asked whether she was going to be okay.

For many decades, British society has been subjected to an almost continuous assault on our history, our way of life and our national institutions by the hard left. The centre and right became so demoralised by this highly successful campaign that for years their response was appeasement, the very policy Churchill warned against so frequently.

A senior United Arab Emirates official on Tuesday fired back at the Palestinian Arab ambassador to France after he attacked the UAE over its establishment of formal relations with Israel, Times of Israel reported.
The envoy, Salman El Herfi, blasted both the UAE and Bahrain in an interview with French magazine Le Point, saying, among other things, that these countries “have become more Israeli than Israel” and are violating the charter of the United Nations.
El Herfi charged that the UAE had long abandoned the Palestinian cause and that he wasn’t surprised by Abu Dhabi’s decision to normalize ties with Israel in August.
