Israel won’t stop demolishing homes of accused terrorists to appease Washington, a minister said Saturday, as the father of a terror victim expressed “shock” at the recent US criticism of the razing of his son’s killer’s home.

“We are doing what’s good for the State of Israel,” Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel of the New Hope party told the Kan public broadcaster.

Mathematical Challenges to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution  

Prof David Nussbaum. If you want to enjoy an intellectual workout that perhaps will challenge some of your basic assumptions about the universe, this is a good way to spend an hour.

Interestingly, near the end, Professor Gelernter (Computer Science, Yale) observes that despite the entirely scientific nature of the arguments raised showing the inability of Darwin’s theory to account for origins, rather that fine-tuning of species, the push-back from his colleagues was highly emotional, ad hominem and did not address the scientific issues (e.g., lack of sufficient time, missing predicted fossil records, top-down rather than bottom-up nature of communicating systems.)

It would appear that there is now an ideological component to Darwinisn, and anyone attacking it is dealt with in very much like someone attacking some religions during medieval times or attacking favoured ideologies at the ptesent. Regardless, an interesting and enlightening conversation.

Marxist, Extremist Support for Palestinian Terrorism Leads to Jew-Hate Throughout West  

by Guy Millière, GATESTONE INSTITUTE

  • For decades, most articles on the Middle East have portrayed Israel in a negative light, not as a democracy under constant threat. Willfully or not, they promote Jew-hate. Hamas is often described as a “Palestinian militant group,” almost never as a terrorist organization.
  • Israel completely withdrew from Gaza in 2005. All the same, Israel is accused of imposing a “blockade” on the coastal strip — without a mention that everything necessary for the residents of Gaza is allowed, or that what is being blockaded are deadly weapons. Also never mentioned is the extreme brutality of Hamas operatives towards their own residents of Gaza, who are all Arabs, or that the Palestinian Authority still supports and finances terrorism. The Palestinian Authority’s rewards and incentives for murdering Jews are also always left out.

The Scarlet ‘E’ (Extremist)  

We’ve already learned that all of us—with the exception of our rulers—are racists, sexists, etc. That’s a valuable lesson because it means, effectively, these accusations are substantively empty.

By 

Asking Americans to label one another “extremists” is the most ruinous thing that the woke oligarchy’s malevolent morons are doing to our country. They mean to criminalize insufficient deference to themselves. But a bit of courage is all it takes to expose their demand’s transparent absurdity.

Guidance comes from what happened in Denmark under Nazi occupation, 1940-1943. The Nazis, having demanded that Danish Jews be forced to wear a yellow star in public, so goes the story, were startled to find that Danish King Christian X put on the star. His subjects having done the same, and everyone having designated himself a Jew, there were no Jews. Only Danes. The Nazis had no way of discriminating against anyone.

New Evidence Indicates Enough Illegal Votes In Georgia To Tip 2020 Results  

By: Margot Cleveland, EPOCH TIMES, July 9, 2021:

New evidence indicates that more than 10,300 illegal votes were cast in Georgia in the November 2020 general election — a number that will continue to rise over the next several months, potentially exceeding the 12,670 votes that separated Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

While this evidence does not change the fact that Joe Biden is our president, all Americans who genuinely care about free and fair elections and the disenfranchisement of voters should demand both transparency and solutions to prevent a repeat in future elections. This evidence also vindicates former President Trump and his legal team for the related public (and private) comments and legal arguments made in challenging the Georgia election results.

France Learns about Islam’s 1,400 Year Assault  

By Raymond Ibrahim, AM THINKER


Raymond Ibrahim’s 2018 bookSword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West, was recently translated into French and published in France.  In connection, Arnaud Imatz of the French website La Nefinterviewed him. An abbreviated, English version of that interview follows:

The American Raymond Ibrahim has just published a fascinating and erudite history of the centuries-old conflicts between Islam and Christianity: L’épée et le cimeterre (Jean-Cyrille Godefroy Editions). This book is the almost exhaustive account of the fourteen centuries of antagonisms and fights, major or minor, which took place…. A historian, linguist and philologist, and a specialist in oriental languages, Ibrahim has methodically exploited first-hand sources, both Muslim and “Western”, and has consulted numerous manuscripts from the Library of Congress in Washington. His book is not only a detailed chronicle of the battles, it is also and above all a rigorous analysis of the intentions and strategies of the various warring leaders. Ibrahim shows that the Muslim forces were essentially obeying a religious, messianic, expansionist, conquering logic, whereas the Christian armies wanted above all to recover territories that for centuries had been Roman, Greek and Christian. He also shows that the religious fervor of today’s Islamists overlaps exactly with ancestral Islamic dogmas, that Western reactions are 1400-year-old self-defense mechanisms, and that current rivalries are the reflection of a very old existential struggle. We interviewed him for La Nef.

Dems are panicking over the planned forensic audit of the Pennsylvania 2020 presidential election  

By Thomas Lifson, AM THINKER

This is quite a coincidence: 2 days after Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano announced that the committee he heads was preparing a forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election, the White House announced a trip to Pennsylvania by President Biden “to deliver remarks on actions to protect the sacred constitutional right to vote.”

Sundance at CTH comments:

The stakes are just too high to allow the Senate in Pennsylvania to conduct a 2020 election audit; and all prior corrupt activity must be protected and maintained.  As a direct result the White House is announcing the people behind Joe Biden are immediately dispatching all federal resources to Philadelphia to begin the war against Pennsylvania voters.

Biden Must Abandon Nuclear Negotiations with Iran  

by Con Coughlin, GATESTONE INSTITUTE  •  July 10, 2021

  • The latest report by the International Monetary Fund makes especially grim reading for the Iranian regime, as it shows the country’s foreign reserves have collapsed from around $140 billion in 2015 to just $4 billion today.
  • Iran’s perilous economic state has, unsurprisingly, prompted nationwide protests at the regime’s gross mismanagement of the economy.

The weaponization of January 6  

By Jeff Crouere, AM THINKER

After the disputed 2020 election with questionable results in numerous states, millions of President Trump supporters were enraged. There were election challenges and protests across the country.

The major protest on January 6 in Washington D.C. was the culmination of weeks of rallies across the country. Although estimates vary widely, the January 6 rally featuring President Trump, attracted at least 500,000 supporters.

The overwhelming majority of the participants heeded President Trump’s plea to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Some participants marched to the U.S. Capitol and about 900 people entered the building.

Media malpractice as a weapon of war  

Corrupted journalism helps incite murderous hysteria against Israel and the west

By Melanie Phillips   July 9/21

BBC Broadcasting House, London

This week, Israel signed a deal for the immediate transfer to South Korea of 700,000 doses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine which are due to expire at the end of this month. In exchange, South Korea will return the same amount of vaccines to Israel from a future order later this year.

This is a win-win deal. Israel has found a good use for vaccines surplus to its current requirements and which would otherwise shortly expire; South Korea is being helped to accelerate its vaccination program.

At 75, the UN is embracing failure  

A systemic rot has spread through the organization and its agencies

By  Jonathan Levin, ISRAEL HAYOM

The United Nations, the successor to the failed League of Nations, is now in its 75th session. However, while seventy-five may be a big milestone, the UN has few reasons to celebrate. Although born amidst high hopes, the UN is now a systemically rotten organization that is embracing failure, repeating the errors its founders warned to avoid.

One factor in the League’s failure – an often cited one – was the departure of many states, including Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Imperial Japan, and Soviet Russia. Germany left due to disagreements about disarmament, Italy left after the League imposed sanctions on it for its invasion of Abyssinia and its use of chemical weapons, Japan departed after the League published a report blaming its conduct in Manchuria, and the USSR was expelled after it invaded Finland in 1939.

How Trump Saved America from the China Virus  

By |July 8th, 2021

In a carefully orchestrated political trap, Joe Biden is threatening to send government workers house to house to try to get Trump supporters to take the Trump Warp Speed China virus vaccines. This strange turn of events tells you everything you need to know about why the Trump movement is in disarray and on defense. They don’t trust their leader, former President Trump, who has repeatedly urged people (except youngsters) to take the vaccines.

Trump, whose Operation Warp Speed saved America from the butchers of Beijing, is now trying to save the lives of his own supporters, who won’t answer the door if Biden’s operatives start knocking. Biden’s backers are counting on confrontations in order to make Trump supporters look bad.

No Relief for Lego Man or Other January 6 Detainees  

Prospects look dim for those caught up in Merrick Garland’s Capitol protest witch hunt. 

By Julie Kelly, AMJ GREATNESS

Joe Biden’s Justice Department wants the Lego Man kept behind bars—indefinitely.

Federal agents seized a plastic replica of the Capitol building from the Pennsylvania home of Robert Morss during his arrest on June 11. Justice Department officials are citing the Lego model as evidence in the criminal case against Morss for his involvement in the January 6 protest: “During his arrest, law enforcement recovered some clothing and other items that appear to match those he carried with him on the 6th—including a ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ flag, a neck gaiter, a military utility bag, a black tourniquet, and military fatigues. (Law enforcement also recoverd [sic] a fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set.)”

So wrote government prosecutors in a July 2 filing asking the D.C. District Court to deny Morss’ release while he awaits trial on nine counts, including assaulting police officers and disorderly conduct.

Obama’s third term – to finish the decapitation of America.  

9 Years Ago, Andrew Breitbart Revealed Obama’s Ties To Critical Race Theory ‘Godfather,’ And Corporate Media Waved It Away

By Gabe Kaminsky, July 8, 2021

Critical race theory has blossomed in the United States into a culture war between institutions and those they purport to serve. As usual, legacy media have colluded to delegitimize any objections by either minimizing the dogma, re-defining it, or denying its existence. Americans ought to consider the media’s frenzy to smear writers exposing CRT in 2012 when examining the reality of today.

After Andrew Breitbart indicated at the Conservative Political Action Conference that he had footage to substantiate that President Barack Obama maintained a relationship with a prominent critical race theorist, it led to a news storm.
