Trump was on fire in Arizona  

TIERNEY NEWS

President Trump made a fabulous speech, nearly two hours long, in Phoenix to a packed house. He was on fire. One of his best ever. Here are some highlights!

“We will not stop until we reclaim our American birthright of honest and Free and Fair elections.”

“The 2020 Election was a total disgrace. It was the most corrupt. They all say sit back and wait, you’ll win in 2024. I say, wait a minute, I just won 6 months ago. I tell Republicans, you’re not going to have a future in 2022 or 2024 if you don’t find out how they cheated with hundreds of thousands and millions of votes in 2020, because you won’t win anything.”

Eliezer “Geizi” Tsafrir, a long-serving officer of the Mossad, was a key field operator throughout Israel’s first four decades.

Tsafrir’s career was focused on two areas of primary importance to the young state: 1) The strategy of the periphery, in which the Jewish state sought to break its isolation in the Middle East by developing relations with non-Arab states in the region – Turkey, Iran and Ethiopia, and 2) the strategy of minorities, whereby Israel sought to make common cause with other non-Arab and/or non-Muslim minority communities in the Middle East.

Iran: Security forces use live ammunition and birdshot to crush Khuzestan protests  

Amnesty International    3 July 2021,

Iran’s security forces have deployed unlawful force, including by firing live ammunition and birdshot, to crush mostly peaceful protests taking place across the southern province of Khuzestan, Amnesty International said today. Video footage from the past week, coupled with consistent accounts from the ground, indicate security forces used deadly automatic weapons, shotguns with inherently indiscriminate ammunition, and tear gas to disperse protesters.

By Matthew Vadum, FPM

Paul Allard Hodgkins was sentenced to 8 months in prison this week after pleading guilty to felony-level obstruction of an official proceeding for supposedly interrupting the congressional count of Electoral College votes that took place during the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6 of this year.

Hodgkins’ is the first felony conviction to arise out of the events that the mainstream media insist on inaccurately describing as an “insurrection.”

When leftists shun ivermectin, they show how scientifically illiterate they are  

By James V. DeLong, AM THINKER

Saturday, July 24 is World Ivermectin Day, as “people of the world will come together to celebrate ivermectin for a day focused on unity, love, and gratitude for this precious gift from Mother Earth.”

I will be with them.  Being of venerable age, I am at risk for COVID, so I follow the debates over the vaccines and treatments, such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, with intense interest.

My conclusion, on which I am willing to bet my life, is that taking ivermectin is a superior alternative to vaccination, both for prevention and, should it come to it, treatment.  I am convinced by the careful scientific work of the FLCCC, the BIRD groupand independent researcher Andrew Hill and reinforced by the refusal of the government health agencies to respond in any coherent fashion.

ZERO COVID Deaths: Sweden’s Anti-lockdown Strategy Has Worked  

By Selwyn Duke, NEW AMERICAN             

Sweden isn’t in the news much right now, for both good and bad reasons. The good reason is that unlike in France, where massive protests and rioting inspired by new anti-coronavirus lockdown measures have made headlines, the Nordic country is peaceful. The bad one is that even though the reason it’s peaceful is because its anti-lockdown strategy has worked, the COVID-panic-porn-obsessed media don’t find this newsworthy. After all, if the masses find out that all the civilization-rending lockdowns and onerous virus restrictions are an exercise in scientific obscurantism, a lot of power-mad politicians could face career destruction.

Here’s the news the opinion cartel finds un-newsworthy: As of Wednesday, Sweden’s seven-day rolling average for China virus deaths was zero.

The controversy over Bill Gates becoming the largest private farmland owner in the US  

People are drawing connections between Gates’s vast farmlands and climate change advocacy.

By Rebecca Heilweil, RECODE  Jun 11, 2021,

Bill Gates squints while sitting in front of a picture of Earth.

Bill Gates might be a tech billionaire — but he and his wife Melinda French Gates, who are in the process of divorcing, are also two of the largest private farmland owners in the United States.

Recent reports detailing the extent of Gates’s land ownership have prompted criticism from some environmental advocates and farmers, who say there seems to be a contradiction between his public environmental advocacy and his personal investment strategy.

Democrat Lawmaker Oblivious as China Buys Up US Farmland  

Sets Stage for Foreign Monopoly on Our Own Food Production

By C. Douglas Golden, WJ      July 22, 2021

Pop quiz, hotshot: Your biggest geopolitical adversary is buying up your country’s farmland. It’s buying up so much, in fact, that this feasibly could become a national security issue in a crisis or war. Do you stop it from buying more? That’s apparently a trick question for Democrats. After all, what if treating your enemy like your enemy “would perpetuate already rising anti-Asian hate”?

Indonesia jumps the gun on Ivermectin as Covid cure  

Indonesia’s overflowing hospitals are using the anti-parasite drug despite its unproven efficacy against Covid-19

JAKARTA – Still under police investigation for the alleged illegal importation last year of the anti-parasitic drug Ivermectin to use as a potential weapon against the Covid-19 pandemic, philanthropist Haryoseno has learned a bitter lesson. “In this world,” he says, “to do good and help people isn’t easy.”

As the owner of pharmaceutical firm Harsen Laboratories, Haryoseno’s crime was to hand out free samples of Ivermectin, mostly to charitable groups, while he waited more than a year for the government to issue him with a license to manufacture and sell the drug.

Diary of a Jewish Palestinian refugee family  

My family lived in Jerusalem long before Arab Bedouin and fellahin immigrated from Syria, Egypt, and Arabia. They were driven out. Op-ed.

By Dr. Michael L. Wise , Jul 23 , 2021


David Street, Old City

UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency is a major obstacle to peace between Israel and its neighbors. The UNRWA Deputy Commissioner Leni Stenseth last month “offered condolences” on behalf of her agency for what Palestinians lost “in this latest Israeli aggression.”

In 2018, in contrast, Secretary Pompeo maintained that “most Palestinians under UNRWA’s jurisdiction aren’t refugees, and UNRWA is a hurdle to peace and should be dismantled.”

‘Israeli cyber sector is under attack,’ says NSO Group chief  

In a special interview to Israel Hayom, NSO Group co-founder and CEO Shalev Hulio says the latest affair was created by “Qatar or the BDS movement – maybe both,” and stresses that NSO Group does not maintain lists of targets. “If anyone uses our software to spy on journalists, they won’t be a customer anymore.”

The real scoop? How Jews won’t lick the demonization of Israel  

The point about the attack by Ben & Jerry’s, as with all boycotts of Israel, is that the main issue is not the boycott. It’s the thinking behind it.Op-ed.

By Melanie Phillips, INNJul 23 , 2021 9:52 AM

(JNS) In attempting to defend itself against persistent bigotry, the Jewish Diaspora repeatedly thinks with its heart, rather than its head, and consequently misses the key point.

Ben & Jerry’s has announced that it will stop selling its ice-cream in Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem, areas that it regards as illegally occupied by Israel.
