The Vatican has constructed a secret underground tunnel in Jerusalem that has infuriated a local preservation group who claim the tunnel resides in a sensitive area that may contain antiquities and other artifacts.

The Regavim Movement, a research-based think tank and lobbying group dedicated to preserving Israel’s national lands and resources, recently filed a petition with the Jerusalem District Court, demanding the city take action against the illegal underground tunnel.

With the White House continually provoking tensions against Russia and China, the doyen of American foreign policy, Henry Kissinger, dramatically warned Washington last week to either agree to a new international system or continue pushing tensions that are leading to a situation similar to the eve of World War One.

How Much More Data Do We Need?

By Spike Hampson, AM THINKER

On March 17, American Thinker posted an article entitled “Mask Mandates Do Not Save Lives.” By comparing COVID death rates in states with no mask mandate to states in which masking was mandatory, the article was able to show that, on average, states in which masking was voluntary had lower death rates than states requiring it.  The difference was marginal, so the conservative conclusion was that required masking had not saved lives.

A grave moral failure of which administrators have yet to answer for.

By Richard L. Cravatts, FPM

In a country where multiculturalism has a reverent following and criticism of protected minorities has essentially been criminalized as “hate speech,” it is more than ironic that on some Canadian campuses radical students have taken it upon themselves to target one group, Jewish students, with a hatred that is nominally forbidden for any others.

On March 4th, for example, yet another troubling event was scheduled to be held at the University of Toronto, this time a panel discussion tellingly entitled, “Liberated Students in a Colonised [sic] Campus: Reflections on the Palestinian Experience at the University of Toronto,” sadly co-sponsored by the University’s Institute of Islamic Studies, Department of History, and Centre for the Study of the United States.

International profits are the financial reason woke corporations can slander and cancel half of America.

By Thaddeus G. McCotter, AM GREATNESS

In the maelstrom spurred by lies about Georgia’s voting law, woke corporations again endeavored zealously to virtue signal for the Left. Echoing and acting upon the Left’s deliberate disinformation campaign—including, notably, President Biden’s infamous “Jim Crow on steroids” doggerel—Coke, Delta, Major League Baseball, and sundry others excoriated the Peach State’s new statutory liberalization of voting procedures. In an interesting twist, these “free-market” entities, which are often threatened with boycotts from the Left, demanded the cancellation of an entire state.

SAN FRANCISCO, California — Elon Musk’s startup devoted to meshing brains with computers was closer to its dream on Friday, having gotten a monkey to play video game Pong using only its mind.

Musk has long contended that merging minds with machines is vital if people are going to avoid being outpaced by artificial intelligence.

America must “regain trust and goodwill” of terrorists with taxpayer money.

By Daniel Greenfield FPM

“I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada,” Hady Amr wrote a year after September 11 while working with an anti-Israel group.

A few years later, the Beirut-born extremist had become an advisor on Muslim relations to the World Economic Forum before heading up Brookings’ Doha Center for Qatar. The tiny Islamic tyranny is allied with Iran, Al Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood. It’s a backer of Hamas.

Its legendary military and security derring-do derives from its culture of risk-taking, creativity and thinking out of the box – characteristics shared by no other country.

By  Melanie Phillips

On Tuesday, Israeli commandos attached limpet mines to an Iranian cargo ship in the Red Sea, the MV Saviz, which was reportedly a covert forward base for the regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

According to the United States Naval Institute, the Saviz, which had barely moved position for three years, may have been used to feed intelligence to Iran and its Houthi proxies in Yemen for nefarious purposes, including numerous strikes on maritime vessels in the area.

Yamina leader Naftali Bennett and New Hope chief Gideon Sa’ar, with 13 Knesset seats between them, somehow expect that 30 Likud lawmakers will ignore their voters and help them unseat Netanyahu. It’s hard to see how their plan is more than wishful thinking.

In a discussion with associates on Tuesday, Yamina chairman Naftali Bennett spoke candidly about his political plans, which, according to media reports, he is closely coordinating with New Hope party leader Gideon Sa’ar. Both Bennett and Sa’ar hail from the ideological Right and both are outspoken opponents of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and seek to unseat him as premier.

After years of struggle, Iranians finally gained the right to vote.  Their first election was held in August 1906.  However, one of the complaints Iranians had about the Pahlavi regime was that was the king would decide who would become prime minister or designated candidates for important government positions.  After the Shah’s fall in 1979, the Islamic Republic increased this election engineering.  Iranians now call them “magical elections.”  This year, though, Iranians are done with magic — and even Biden lifting some sanctions may not help.

Behind the palace intrigue between Abdullah and his half-brother are real frustrations among Jordanians toward a regime that Jerusalem sees as a key security bulwark

Jordan has been gripped by rare palace intrigue since King Abdullah’s half-brother Prince Hamzah was placed under house arrest on Saturday, accused of plotting a coup.

The dramatic and very public episode — which appears to be drawing to a close — is a potential source of significant concern for Israel, which considers the stability of the Hashemite kingdom a central plank of its national security doctrine.

The Biden Regime Is About To Be Delegitimized, And They Know It.

by L Todd Wood, CD MEDIA  April 8, 2021

There is a LOT of political noise out there right now. From illegitimate Biden’s spending, starting a war with Russia in Ukraine, appeasing Iran, and kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party, it’s easy to get lost in the horrific OBiden daily news cycle.

However, there is one truth we must keep at the forefront in our fight to restore the American republic — the election audits in the fraud states are the way forward.

T. Belman.  This is timely as the Biden Administration has began funding UNRWA and the PA again to the tune of $235 million, ignoring that they both teach Arab children to kill Jews.

by Raymond Ibrahim, GATESTONE INSTITUTE

Documentary filmmaker Alan Duncan recently visited the al-Hawl refugee camp in northeastern Syria, where children “are training … for future jihad.”

Boys throughout the Muslim world are increasingly indoctrinated into becoming super jihadis: ISIS 2.0. The news is coming in fast from a variety of sources.

“Lately, Sidney Powell has been widely misunderstood because the media, and some in the political arena, have cleverly edited language. This article will be limited in scope, and is a companion piece to the brilliantly written UncoverDC article below. His article is fulsome and explains the details of her Motion to Dismiss the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against her far better than I can.“

By Mackenzie Bettle, UncoverDC      -March 31, 2021

The supreme “Art of War” is to subdue your enemy without fighting; it means having the ability to set an inescapable trap – enabling the ability to annihilate the enemy. In fictional novels, the process can be analogized to a successfully foreshadowed climax. Some only see the strategy set up in hindsight.

APRIL 8/21

T. Belman. For many decades the left, including American Jews, have universalized the Holocaust to the effect that its not a stand alone Jewish tragedy that we should remember, but all holocausts. Even Holocaust Museums are dedicated to all holocausts.

Statement also spells Holocaust with a lowercase H and fails to mention anti-Semitism while referencing “prejudice and injustice.”

By Dan Verbin, INN

The Democratic Party controlled House Foreign Affairs Committee released a Yom HaShoah statement that omitted reference to the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust and spelled Holocaust with a lowercase H.

The statement also mentioned prejudice but failed to specifically mention antisemitism or Jew hate.
