Biden is a Dangerous Leader for the Times

By Cheryl Chumley

While Israelis were getting bombed, Joe Biden was barbecuing and influential members serving this administration were busily helping spy for Iran. Any questions? Biden isn’t just bad for America; he’s dangerous to the world. A weak America emboldens the evil players of the world. And that’s just what’s happened under this Biden administration. [more...]

U.S. Textile Industry Faced with Flooded Asian Goods, Ask Senate for Help

By Kenneth Rapoza

The U.S. textile industry – from yarn to finished products like T-shirts – is seeing an increase in products coming into the country and is at wit’s end to hold onto market share. Part of it is coming in through de minimis, the rest is coming through traditional channels, including from China, where the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Law (UFLPA) was supposed to curtail imports of goods made from cotton in Xinjiang. Mostly all of China’s cotton is sourced from there, a place believed to be crawling with forced labor and prison labor programs. Late last month, industry representatives asked the Senate for some help. [more...]

Black Lives Matter Endorses Hamas Murder of Babies

By Daniel Greenfield

BLM Grassroots is feuding with the original BLM. It’s dominated by Melina Abdullah, the former chair of pan-African studies at California State University, who is violently antisemitic. So, the BLM Grassroots statement endorsing the Hamas kidnapping, murder, rape and torture of women and children comes as little surprise. Abdullah had previously linked BLM to supporting Islamic terrorism against Israel. Now in the face of the Hamas attacks, BLM Grassroots declared that “resistance must not be condemned but understood as a desperate act of self-defense.” How raping girls and killing babies is a “desperate act of self-defense” is something Abdullah might help clarify.

3% of Jewish Population in Israel Carry Guns

By John Lott

Hamas attacked as Israelis were wrapping up the seven-day-long Jewish festival of Sukkot on Saturday. By Sunday, over 700 Israelis and some Americans had been murdered, thousands wounded, and hundreds more taken hostage. Hamas terrorists went into civilian areas and attacked defenseless people walking down the streets or shopping in stores. On September 20th, the Jerusalem Post headline prophetically warned: “Israelis should carry guns on Yom Kippur, police say.” But as of 2022, only 148,000 Israelis carried permitted guns in public for protection – just 3% of the adult, Jewish population. Twenty years earlier, more than 10% of adult Jews had permits. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid called the recent police statement “dangerous.” He echoed sentiments common among Democrats in the United States: “Calling the citizens of Israel to come with weapons to the synagogue on Yom Kippur is not a security policy, it is dangerous populism.” Concealed carry is now much more widespread in the United States than in Israel. In 2022, 8.5% of American adults had permits.

The Victory that Saved Western Civilization

By Mark Tapson

This week in October marks the anniversary of an epic event that is not widely known except among history buffs, but which nonetheless dramatically shaped the future of the Western world, and which may still hold inspiration for us in the West today. After the death of the Muslim prophet Muhammad in 632, Islam spread like a bloody tide throughout the Arabian Peninsula, north to the Caspian Sea and east through Persia and beyond, westward through Egypt and across North Africa all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. From there it crossed the Straits of Gibraltar and consumed virtually all of the Iberian Peninsula, or al-Andalus as the Saracens called it. In a mere one hundred years, the warlord Muhammad’s imperialist legacy was an empire larger than Rome’s had ever been. [more...]

Sharon Stone’s Hollywood Lesson

By James Hirsen

For an individual, life in the fame lane can take you from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Stone has lived it. In People magazine this month, she shares her story of survival and serves as an example of the triumph of the human spirit. She does offer the following admonition, though: “If you want to live with solid citizens, don’t come to Hollywood.” [more...]
