The court documents also identified a ‘prior U.S. president.’

A grand jury in Arizona on Wednesday indicted 18 Republicans, including Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, with conspiracy, fraud, and forgery for submitting a document to Congress “falsely” declaring that Donald Trump beat Joe Biden in Arizona’s popular vote during the 2020 presidential election.

The court documents identify a “prior U.S. president,” presumably referring to President Trump, as an unindicted co-conspirator.

The newspaper’s long record of bias in its coverage of Israel and Jewish issues has worsened with an influx of young ‘woke’ reporters, experts say.

By Dan M. Berger, EPOCH TIMES April 23/24

When a missile exploded near a Gaza hospital in October last year, the New York Times reported that hundreds had been killed in a blast caused by an Israeli missile that struck the hospital.

The Hamas terrorist group made all of those claims. None of them were true.

Western intelligence agencies over the next few days agreed with Israel that it was an off-course missile fired by Hamas or another terrorist group that exploded prematurely. The rocket hit a hospital parking lot where some people were gathered. And most reported the casualties as much lower.

Isn’t it interesting how so many people never seem to really worry about the Israeli children, just those on the Palestinian side?

Earlier this week, the notorious United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees posted photos of children in Gaza with the caption: “One child is killed or injured every 10 minutes.”

It was just another one of the countless blatantly calculated lies on which the Palestinian narrative, spanning decades, has been predominantly built.

In fact, there are so many lies that it is nearly impossible to discern fact from fiction across virulent Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim propaganda — all with the goal not of legitimizing their “plight” but of delegitimizing the Jewish state.

The American brand will suffer so long as Washington pretends its capacities are limitless.

By Douglas Macgregor, AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE    23 April 2024

It is an axiom of warfare that it is always desirable to have friendly territory beyond one’s own borders or the capacity to prevent the buildup of significant military power in neutral territory for an attack against one’s own territory. When it lacked the military strength to do much, the United States promulgated the Monroe Doctrine with a similar purpose in mind.

E. Rowell:  There are many fallacies in the ‘global warming’ hypothesis, the most central fallacy and the most ridiculous is the idea that too much CO2 he atmosphere is “the problem.”  Even were it possible to lower atmospheric CO2, doing so would cause devastation to the earth.  All living animals including humans get our oxygen from plants.  Plants require CO2 for photosynthesis.  Any reduction in CO2 would cause a reduction in plant life on earth, which would cause a reduction in all animal life on earth.  How is that “saving the earth?”

Division, excuses and incompetence

DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) demise and public education illustration by Greg Groesch / The Washington Times

Last week, the University of Texas at Dallas made headlines when it shuttered its DEI-related jobs, offices and programs. The decision was not made because the university finally realized that people are complex individuals who cannot be pigeonholed into an identity but because Texas lawmakers, via SB 17, put such programs in the crosshairs.

DEI, which stands for diversity, equity and inclusion, is a mindset that all people of various backgrounds should feel welcome in their school or place of business. While the mindset sounds noble, the means by which its end is reached has caused many to claim DEI is arbitrary at best and racist at worst.

Israel cannot accept a situation where it is diplomatically and militarily hampered in every direction by well-meaning but weak allies or by supremely confident Shiite mullahs and their Russian ally.

By  David M. Weinberg, ISRAEL HAYOM  04-21-2024 17:50

Reading the Israeli and global media one would think that this week Israel achieved its greatest victory since the Six-Day War, successfully stymying a massive Iranian missile attack. With dozens of videos and hagiographic pilot profiles, the IDF is busy pumping its technological prowess. In religious circles, there are a thousand memes and essays circulating asserting a divine miracle, no less.

This is poppycock. At best, Israel can record a defensive tactical achievement, perhaps indeed blessed, but not a strategic win. On the strategic level, Israel suffered a whopping loss as Iran pierced with apparent impunity American and Israeli deterrence frameworks.

“We will bring it [Hamas] more painful blows; it will happen soon,” said the Israeli premier.

Israel will inflict “painful blows” on Hamas in the coming days in an attempt to free the remaining 133 hostages held by the terrorist group in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday.

“Why is this night different, citizens of Israel? That on this night, 133 of our dear brothers and sisters are not at the seder table and are still held captive in the inferno of Hamas,” he said in his Passover remarks.

Biden administration promotes Hamas propaganda by smearing Israel as a human rights abuser.

David Horowitz and Robert Spencer, Front Page Magazine    April 24, 2024

On Tuesday, the State Department published its 2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices. What should have been a non-political document completed the betrayal of Israel that the Biden administration began on March 25, when it refrained from having the U.S. veto a UN resolution calling for a Gaza ceasefire, the impact of which would enable the leadership of Hamas to survive and launch more attacks on Jews and Jewish babies. The clear meaning of the October 7 massacre was witnessed in Palestinians burning infants alive to cries of “Allahu Akbar” as though the incineration of the innocent – should they be Jews – is a holy sacrament rather than a sick episode in the wretched history of humanity’s inhumanity to its weakest members.

A complaint I hear increasingly leveled at contemporary American politicians is that they are out of touch with voters, if not downright contemptuous of them. On a number of core issues, politicians seem less concerned with pursuing policies that are deeply unpopular with ordinary Americans than with upholding the ideologies and self-interests of the ruling elite. Two dramatic examples of this political disconnect with average citizens are the refusal of urban governments to prosecute violent criminals, which has caused a surge in crime, and the White House’s tolerance of mass immigration, which threatens jobs, security, and the rule of law.

E. Rowell:  The Biden Administration is racing to register non-citizens to vote in massive numbers.  They are attempting to prevent Donald Trump from winning by four scandalous and absurd lawfare cases in which the process is the punishment.  They hope no one will vote for a man convicted of a crime.  They are attempting to create a democrat majority in the House of Representatives through “retirement” of RINOs in order to pass legislation that will make Trump “guilty” of “insurrection” and thus ineligible for the Presidency, should he win the electoral college vote.  They see Congress for the corrupt group that they are, stripping Americans of their right to representation by representing their billionaire donors not their constituents.  They have even talked of assassination of Trump.  The voters see all of this for what it is:  an evil, satanic effort to destroy the Republic and We the People.

Any political prediction for the remainder of 2024 must, to be taken seriously, account for one overbearing fact:  neither side can afford to lose.  For one side or the other, it will be game over.  Political power will thereafter be denied forever to the defeated party.

For 76 years, through combined military campaigns, sustained economic boycott, terrorist massacres, diplomatic isolation, and religious incitement, a changing constellation of pan-Arab and Islamist forces has been trying to destroy the Jewish state. So far they have failed. Israel fought off the bombardment from Iran and its proxies as it has the earlier assaults, thereby incidentally giving its friends and allies much to learn about new weaponry, tactics, and the pros and cons of moral restraint in battle.

Saudi Arabia’s official stance on the concept of a Palestinian state has undergone a notable shift in recent weeks. Since the Abraham Accords, Saudi Arabia has portrayed such a state as a distant, nebulous objective, leaving the impression of mere lip service.

Mounting pressure from the White House and certain segments of Saudi society, however, has compelled it to formally endorse the recognition of a Palestinian state. This move aligns with plans outlined in the “Arab Vision” document of the Forum of 6 made up of Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the Palestinian Authority and Saudi Arabia itself.

Peloni:  UNWRA must be ended.  Its presence in Gaza and elsewhere has always been to foment a forever generational war against the Jewish people.  In fact, the continuation of UN support for this evil institution demonstrates the same level of pernicious intent against the Jewish people as did the establishment of that organization which was intended to specifically, and exclusively, extend the 1948 War into the future so as to overcome the Israeli victory over the Arabs.  The malicious weaponization of the Pals to this purpose demonstrates the extensively antisemitic nature of the UN in its singular approach to preserving and expanding and radicalizing the Pal refugee crisis.  UNRWA must be defunded, disbanded and deported, save for those members who are not charged for their relevant crimes against the Jewish people.  We no longer live in October 6, and it is time to deal honestly and effectively with the matters which made October 7 inevitable.  Notably, UNRWA, it should be noted, was just one of these matters.

“Hamas has infiltrated UNRWA so deeply that it is no longer possible to determine where UNRWA ends and where Hamas begins,” a ministry spokesman said.

In an incredible and rare admission, Fatah has corroborated what Israel has been saying all along: that Hamas is responsible for turmoil connected to the distribution of humanitarian aid sent into Gaza.

A Fatah TV anchor reported that throughout the war, Hamas has been committing what is essentially a triple crime — it has attacked and killed aid workers in order to control aid distribution, stolen the food and water for itself, and caused food prices to skyrocket. Read more…
