The Transgender Follies—More Madness from the Left  

The transgender craze, like the word itself, is new, dangerous to the persons involved, and hasn’t a shred of evidence to support it.

By Joan Swirsky MAY 5, 2023

Please re-read every word of the next four paragraphs and know that NOT ONE WORD of them is true! In the 1950s—and for centuries before and decades after—girls knew they were girls; boys knew they were boys and that was that.

Growing up in the 1950s, I remember distinctly that all of my high school classmates were obsessed with figuring out who they really were, males or females. Every conversation, the special clubs we formed to talk about this issue, the heated arguments we had with our parents who didn’t “get” that the children they thought were boys or girls were not at all what those dinosaurs imagined sex and gender to be, and the total lack of understanding we got from the powers-that-be, including teachers, counselors, coaches, doctors. It was truly a horrible time to be a girl or boy.

AZ Supreme Court orders hearing on Kari Lake’s signature verification issue  

by Kari Donovan, REPUBLIC BRIEF May 5, 2023

Leftist corporate media is so busy throwing a temper tantrum over Kari Lake’s book and her intense rise in popularity that they may have missed that Lake’s claims of election fraud are getting the go-ahead to be scrutinized and investigated.

“In what can only be described as a perfect meeting of like minds, Winning Team Publishing, the self-described “nation’s premier conservative publishing house” that was co-founded by Donald Trump Jr., will publish the book, which sells for $29.99. The book ships on June 27, according to the company’s website,”

Zelensky and Biden may be on their way out  

By Stephen Bryen, CSP        May 5, 2023

There is no doubt now that Bakhmut will soon fall to the Russians. How soon? Probably a few days and no more than one week.

Ukraine says it has managed to evacuate its elite forces from the city, leaving only rearguard elements to hang on until the end. Efforts by Ukraine to provide counterattacks have not borne fruit, and all efforts have been stopped by Russian paratroopers and Wagner PMC fighters, along with generous amounts of Russian artillery.

Why Russia invaded Ukraine  

T. Belman.  I made the same argument in this article

Clearly, the US is the aggressor in the Ukraine war.

By Jared Peterson, AM THINKER

Without 30 years of provocative, to the Russian mind threatening, behavior by the United States, the Ukraine war does not happen.

John Mearsheimer has pointed out that for well over 20 years, from the Soviet collapse in 1991 until the 2014 US supported, anti-democratic, violent coup in Kiev against a pro-Russian Ukrainian president, no one of any importance, absolutely no one, viewed Russia as a military threat to its neighbors or to Europe generally, or believed that Russia harbored revanchist impulses.  Neither its behavior during this period nor its top officials’ statements suggested Russia had any designs of dominating its near abroad, let alone conquering it, much less conquering anyone else.

WASHINGTON—China’s communist rulership believes that it must undermine and displace the United States in order to thrive, according to the nation’s top intelligence official.

The regime is actively working to expand its authoritarian model of governance across the globe and to supplant U.S. interests in Asia specifically, said Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines.

“[China] is increasingly challenging the United States economically, technologically, politically, militarily, and from an intelligence standpoint around the world,” Haines said during a May 4 hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Bill Clinton saw Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine campaign as ‘just a matter of time’  

FINANCIAL TIMES

Bill Clinton: “In 2011, I realized that Putin’s attack on Ukraine is only a matter of time”

Former US President Bill Clinton:

“Vladimir Putin did not want to recognize the 1994 international agreement on security guarantees for Ukraine in exchange for its renunciation of nuclear weapons.”  This was told by former US President Bill Clinton, who, together with Boris Yeltsin, participated in the preparation and signing of the Budapest Memorandum.

I hope this isn’t true  

Aben Amaala just tweeted:

Yes, there are new parliamentary elections, and more than that, a constitutional monarchy, in which King Abdullah II relinquishes the institution of the throne to his son, to be King Hussein II. And a population federation with the West Bank, and this project will be a file for great change, and it will be called the New Jordan.

Now this issue is being discussed with the capitals of decision-making. Accordingly, the Palestinian issue will be resolved, and accordingly, Saudi Arabia will normalize with Israel. Regarding the new constitutional monarchy in Jordan, the prime minister will be of Palestinian origin and from the West Bank. This project will start after the marriage of Prince Hussein at the beginning of next June. This project is presented confidentially and at a high level. All things are subject to change in all directions.

A Haredi call for compromise between religious and secular  

As we await Israel’s future Haredi majority, we must commit to dialogue among all citizens to determine the common ground we share

By Manachem Bombach,  1.5.23

Recently, I met one of Israel’s leading brain surgeons — a doctor who has dedicated his life to saving others. He, his father, and his children all contribute significantly to the State of Israel. He told me that he feels depressed, hopeless, and full of rage toward the community to which I belong: Israel’s ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) community. He feels that his country and the Zionist dream are being trampled. He was overwhelmed with pain.

We sat together and talked, and experienced a transformation, understanding each other, and hugging at the end of our conversation.

What a strategy for defeating Hamas and Hezbollah looks like  

The real target must be Iran. 

When word broke Tuesday that Khader Adnan—a senior terrorist and serial hunger striker from Iranian-controlled Islamic Jihad—had died in an Israeli prison after 83 days of refusing food, Hamas began shelling Israeli towns and villages in the western Negev. As Islamic Jihad’s premier propagandist, Adnan was reportedly the most prominent Islamic Jihad terrorist in Jenin, where the group reigns supreme.

Between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, Islamic Jihad and Hamas rocket teams pummeled Israel with more than a hundred rockets and mortars. Israelis in communities around Gaza spent the night in their bomb shelters.

Haredi Leader’s Ultimatum to Bibi: IDF Draft Law by May 29 , or We Quit  

By  Jewish News Syndicate (JNS)


Knesset Member Yitzhak Goldknopf, leader of the United Torah Judaism Party, heads to the podium at the Knesset, Dec. 29, 2022.

Yitzhak Goldknopf, leader of the United Torah Judaism Party (UTJ), said that “if the new recruitment plan isn’t settled, the government will fall apart,” speaking of a haredi conscription law the ultra-Orthodox parties are insisting upon.

Speaking to Mishpacha, a haredi magazine, which ran the quote as a headline, the ultra-Orthodox political leader, who is also Israel’s minister of construction and housing, said: “The Prime Minister received an unequivocal message from me according to which there is an order from the Council of Torah Sages that if the conscription law is not passed before the budget [which is due by May 29], we will withdraw from the government. As long as there is no other [council] directive, this is what will be done.”

Something is Very Wrong With Justin Trudeau  

A sentimentalist with terrorist sympathies.

On October 3, 1980, a bomb went off just outside a synagogue on the rue Copernic in Paris. Several people were killed: a student on a motorbike, an Israeli journalist, a driver, and a caretaker. In addition, 46 people were wounded, many of them seriously. Eventually, over many years, the French authorities, with help from German intelligence as well as Israeli and French agents, tracked down the PFLP operative who left the bomb, a Lebanese sociologist named Hassan Diab. By that time, Diab was living in Canada. With the evidence it had gathered, France asked Canada to extradite Diab in 2008 so he could stand trial.

Biden Handed Over South America to China  

One of the greatest betrayals in our history happened while America slept.


When Biden met with Lula da Silva, the founder of the Marxist Brazil’s Workers’ Party and a convicted criminal, it was a victory lap for both socialists.

Lula da Silva, Brazil’s former leader, had survived his bribery conviction and rigged an election that overthrew Jair Bolsonaro: his conservative patriotic predecessor. Biden had survived his own trial by fire during the midterms which locked down the 2024 Democrat nomination.

If an Arab terrorist wants to starve to death, respect his wish  

Who cares? Those who hate Israel already won’t hate Israel an iota more or less if he kills himself or if Israel force feeds him. 

 

Arabs on Temple Mount protest death of Khader AdnanSliman Khader/Flash 90

The other day, an Arab terrorist died after a hunger strike. The Woke Left are in a tizzy, accusing Israel of war crimes. Arab terror groups are talking about bringing a claim to the International Criminal Court. A barrage of rockets were launched from Gaza prompting an Israeli response.

Think about it. Voices in the Israeli government are apologizing: “We tried so hard to feed him, but he refused to eat. We tried. We begged. He just wouldn’t touch our food. It’s not our fault.”
