Our adversaries can’t quite believe their good fortune. Had they thought up ways to divide and impoverish America, they could not have improved on our own collective meltdown.

By Victor Davis Hanson, AM GREATNESS

This Fourth of July holiday we might pause for a moment from our festivities to ask how we collectively lost our minds over the last 15 months—and are we yet regaining any semblance of our sanity?

A pandemic caused by the leak of a Chinese-engineered virus and its coverup was cause enough for nationwide madness. But the spread of COVID-19 was followed by a nationalized and often politicized “flatten-the-curve” quarantine that soon ensured a stir-crazy nation. Tens of millions saw no people, and heard nothing human other than what was fed to them through television and computers. No wonder they grew paranoid, conspiratorial, and angry, and soon forgot the therapeutic nature of personal interaction and the shared humanity of being in the physical presence of others.

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 2,088, July 5, 2021

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The establishment of the Evyatar outpost is a direct continuation of the activist pioneering ethos that the Yishuv leadership developed during the Arab riots of 1936-39, and that has long been lost to considerable parts of the Israeli political establishment.

The Evyatar outpost was set up in the midst of the recent war in Gaza. Located on a hill overlooking Highway 5—the Trans-Samaria Highway— from the north, it has a vital security importance. In the past, a military base on that hill enabled the seizure of weapons and terror operatives in the area.

Understanding the Growing Attacks Against Jews in America is Simple, Yet Ignored

Will the government bring to an end the transport of EU funded prefab buildings to Area C where they are used for illegal building? Op-ed.

Dry Bones – Area C, the EU and Bennett : Y. Kirschen

Israel’s decision to evict all 53 Jewish families from the unauthorised settlement of Evyatar in the ‘West Bank’ (Judea\Samaria) this week should send a clear signal to the European Union (EU) that its days of financing and facilitating the building of unauthorised Arab structures in Area C of the ‘West Bank’are over.

Area C comprises about 60% of the ‘West Bank’ and has been under Israel’s full security and administrative control since the 1995 Oslo Accords were signed.

“Of course, it’s a good time; there’s never been a bad time to buy in Israel. It’s not just a financial investment but an emotional and spiritual one, too. Everyone wants a little piece of Eretz Yisrael,” says realtor Kim Bash.

Scott Gross is a man with a mission. He’s scouring the country for the perfect place for his parents to enjoy their retirement.

“It’s one-half investment and one-half a place where they could live in the future,” says Gross. So it has to be just right, he says, since when (and if) his Baltimore-based parents are ready to take the aliyah leap, the place is poised to serve as the proverbial soft landing.

After the U. S. Supreme Court decided to change the 6,000-year-old definition of marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges, I predicted to a liberal friend that the Left’s next big push would be to normalize and ultimately legalize pedophilia. Of course, he scoffed at the notion.

In all fairness, he was right — but just barely. The next item on the Left’s agenda, it turned out, was changing the definition of biological sex and thus normalizing gender dysphoria. But mainstreaming pedophilia was not far behind.

Throughout much of 2021, conservatives, in both classrooms and in the halls of state legislatures, have been fighting back against the pervasive influence of critical race theory in public schools. Laws banning the instruction of CRT tenets in public schools have passed in more than 20 states, and there is reason t0 hope that the tide is beginning to turn in the fight for the country’s history and principles.

Unfortunately, the Zinn Education Project refuses to accept defeat, and desires to teach American children that this country was founded upon the “dispossession of Native Americans, slavery, structural racism and oppression,” as opposed to the principles of liberty enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Christians in Africa have begged the UN to save them from slaughter at the hands of Muslims. Incredibly, the UN is ignoring them. Op-ed.

Western states must take “immediate measures” against the “systemic racism” of which blacks are victims, said Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The same day of her speech another piece of news came in:

A court in Pakistan sentenced another Christian to life in prison on the basis of blasphemy laws. On July 11, 2012, Ahmed Khan, an Islamic leader in Rawalpindi, filed a complaint that Zafar Bhatti sent him text messages insulting Muhammad’s mother. He grotesquely accuses her saying that in Pakistan there is the death penalty, but it has never even been actually demonstrated.

TRUMP STARTS AT 24 MINUTES

by Victor Rosenthal    July 4, 2021

Ha’aretz is more than just a left-leaning newspaper.

It is an enemy of the state, and in fact, an enemy of the Jewish people, whose future depends on the state.

Today, when Israel and Jews are under attack throughout the world, when international organizations have been turned into lie factories targeting Israel, when the Jewish State is accused of the very crimes – terrorism, murder, apartheid, genocide – that her enemies are either guilty of or aspire to, an Israeli newspaper, owned and operated by Jews, is a primary propaganda organ of those enemies.

T. Belman. This Haaretz article is maintaining the lie that Jan 6 was an attempted insurrection by Trump people including QAnon.  Don’t you believe it.

The theory about a satanic cabal based on one of the world’s oldest, most lethal antisemitic libels is localizing itself to make inroads into the Orthodox Jewish community in the U.S. – and now, increasingly, in Israel

And who was ‘The Old Man’ you ask? It was the name Winston Churchill was given in his later years by an adoring public, especially following the end of World War 2.

Increasingly Churchill railed against the creeping socializing of Britain particularly after the Socialist Labour government swept to power in the July, 1945 General Election.

The Old Man later warned about the growing threat of Socialism in a House of Commons speech in 1948 when he said: “We are oppressed by a deadly fallacy. Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy. Unless we free our country while time remains from the perverse doctrines of Socialism, there can be no hope for recovery.”

So, the War on Reality is going splendidly. Societies all across the world have been split into opposing, irreconcilable realities.

Neighbors, friends, and even family members are bitterly divided into two hostile camps, each regarding the other as paranoid psychotics, delusional fanatics, dangerous idiots, and, in any event, as mortal enemies.

In the UK, Germany, and many other countries, and in numerous states throughout the US, a “state of emergency” remains in effect. An apocalyptic virus is on the loose. Mutant variants are spreading like wildfire.

SOMEWHERE – WEST SIDE STORY

By Peter Knickerbocker, AM THINKER

Our armed forces are being led by people not tethered to reality.  In testimony before Congress recently, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff defended Critical Race Theory.  He said he wants to understand white rage.  He thinks he is a well read critical thinker.  If General Milley genuinely wants to understand himself better, I recommend White Guilt by Shelby Steele.

Critical Race Theory, diversity ideology, radical feminism, and other woke nonsense are devastating military lethality and readiness.  Even though the beginnings of this trend go back decades, the denial of the differences between the sexes, and the more radical outgrowths of those false ideas, have become more intense than ever.  As the army of Communist China seeks to make its soldiers more masculine, our army seeks to attract more women and fewer men.  This trend has been chronicled, and its grave damage explained, by Brian Mitchell (Women in the Military, 1998), Stephanie Gutmann (The Kinder, Gentler Military, 2000), Kingsley Browne (Co-Ed Combat, 2007), Robert L. Maginnis (Deadly Consequences, 2013), and James Hasson (Stand Down, 2019).  The argument against women in combat roles, and in-theater combat support roles, is simply overwhelming.

• Despite an internationally recognized right to defend itself against terror attacks, Israel’s public diplomacy fails to convince the international and Western media and political elements, which, for many and varied reasons, demonstrate an ingrained propensity to prejudge Israel negatively.
• The initial few days of international sympathy and understanding for Israel’s right to defend its population inevitably and rapidly metamorphosed into a wave of condemnation and accusations. The change came with the deliberate propagation of a false and distorted equivalence between a terror organization blatantly violating humanitarian norms and a democratic state legitimately defending itself against terror.
