Tucker Carlson Shines Light on Devastation Brought on Palestinian Christians Amid Gaza Conflict

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a recent interview, Tucker Carlson brought attention to the plight of Palestinian Christians in Gaza amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Speaking with Reverend Munther Isaac, pastor at the Evangelical Lutheran Christian Church in Bethlehem, Carlson shed light on the severe impacts faced by the Christian community in the region.

During the interview, Carlson emphasized a seldom-discussed aspect of American foreign policy, noting the disproportionate suffering endured by Christians in conflict zones. He highlighted instances such as the destruction of a Greek Orthodox Church in Gaza during an October airstrike, which claimed the lives of at least 17 people. Carlson also recalled the tragic events of the 2002 siege of the Church of Nativity, where an Israeli soldier fatally shot a mentally disabled clergyman.

Reverend Isaac elaborated on the challenges faced by Palestinian Christians, describing the fragmentation of Christian communities across Gaza, Israel, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. He underscored how the harsh realities of Israeli military occupation have compelled many young Palestinian Christians to leave their homeland in search of better opportunities elsewhere.

Moreover, Isaac lamented the lack of support from American lawmakers, noting the absence of aid or solidarity from Congress, with few exceptions. He expressed disappointment in the failure of self-professed Christian leaders to advocate for their brethren in the Middle East.

Carlson criticized figures within the American Christian right who remained silent or even advocated for actions detrimental to Palestinian Christians. He called attention to statements made by Republican Michigan Representative Tim Walberg, condemning his call to eliminate U.S. aid to Gaza in a manner akin to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Isaac condemned such rhetoric, highlighting the incongruity between calls for mass violence and the teachings of Christ. He expressed concern over the damage inflicted on the credibility of Christians in the Middle East by such statements.

The interview further delved into harrowing accounts of Israeli airstrikes targeting churches and killing innocent civilians, including children. Isaac recounted the tragic loss of life, emphasizing the vulnerability of Palestinian Christians amid the conflict.

Isaac also drew attention to the persecution faced by Christians in East Jerusalem, where they are targeted by radical Jewish groups. He described incidents of vandalism, harassment, and incitement against Christians, calling for accountability for such acts.

Overall, the interview served as a stark reminder of the human cost of the Israel-Hamas conflict, particularly for vulnerable communities like Palestinian Christians

Buttigieg Mocks Crime Concerns From His Personal Security Bubble

/1 Comment/in , /by

Nothing better embodies how out of touch Democrats are than their boasting about how safe they are with their taxpayer-funded security while dismissing most people’s concerns about crime.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg went on MSNBC to dismiss people’s concerns about crime as just a narrative being pushed by conservatives. “We need to talk about the reality here,” Buttigieg said. “There’s a lot of funding and a lot of energy going into telling a different story, especially on ideological news outlets and online. But the simple facts and the simple reality are right here staring us in the face, including the fact I can safely walk my dog to the Capitol today in a way you couldn’t do when we all got here.”

Buttigieg said that on Sunday morning. Later that day, two people walking their dogs in Washington, D.C., were mugged, with one of the victims being stabbed. As it turns out, walking your dog in Washington, D.C., is really safe if you also happen to be a Cabinet secretary with taxpayer-funded security, as Buttigieg is.

This isn’t some unfortunate anecdotal example, either. Washington, D.C., finished 2023 with 274 homicides, a 36% increase from last year and the most the city has seen since 1997, when Buttigieg was in high school. The city had more than 900 reported carjackings last year and a 100% increase in gun crimes compared to pre-2020 levels.

Space Cadet: Dem Rep. Tells Schoolkids That Moon Is a ‘Planet’ and ‘Made up Mostly of Gases’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) stunned attendees at a high school solar eclipse event Monday by claiming the rock-solid moon is a “planet” that is “made up mostly of gases” — before adding she still wants to be “first in line” to learn how to live there.

The former top Democrat on the House Science Committee’s space subcommittee badly botched elementary lunar facts while speaking during the gathering at Booker T. Washington High School in Houston.

“You’ve heard the word ‘full moon.’ Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gases,” Jackson Lee, 74, told teenage pupils who gathered on a sports field ahead of the rare celestial event.

“And that’s why the question is why or how could we as humans live on the moon? Are the gases such that we could do that?” the congresswoman said.

“The sun is a mighty powerful heat, but it’s almost impossible to go near the sun. The moon is more manageable.” (Read more from “Space Cadet: Dem Rep. Tells Schoolkids That Moon Is a ‘Planet’ and ‘Made up Mostly of Gases’” HERE)

Arizona Upholds 1864 Law Restricting Nearly All Abortions

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a landmark decision, the Arizona Supreme Court has ruled to uphold a longstanding law dating back to 1864, which severely limits abortions in the state, permitting them only in cases where the life of the mother is at risk. The ruling came as the culmination of the case Planned Parenthood of Arizona v. Mayes/Hazerigg, following arguments presented before the court in December.

The 1864 law not only prohibits nearly all abortions but also imposes harsh penalties, including prison sentences of two to five years for abortion providers. The court was tasked with determining whether the more recent 15-week abortion limit, enacted in March 2022, supersedes the older statute. While the justices refrained from ruling on the constitutionality of the 1864 law, they delivered a 4-2 decision, with one recusal, affirming its enforceability over the 15-week limit.

In the majority opinion authored by Justice John Lopez, the court clarified that its decision was rooted in statutory interpretation rather than moral or public policy considerations regarding abortion. The ruling emphasized that in the absence of any federal or state law explicitly prohibiting the operation of the 1864 law, it remains enforceable.

However, the court also exercised caution, staying the total enforcement of the law for 14 days to allow parties involved to determine their course of action. Furthermore, the case was remanded to trial court for potential consideration of remaining constitutional challenges.

The ruling comes at a time when pro-abortion activists in Arizona are pushing for a constitutional amendment to establish a right to abortion. The coalition Arizona for Abortion Access recently announced surpassing the required signatures for the proposed amendment to qualify for the November ballot, reflecting ongoing efforts in multiple states to secure abortion rights.

Israel Prepares to Eliminate Iran’s Nuclear Facilities if Iran Launches Retaliatory Attack on Israel

/1 Comment/in , /by

Israel has reportedly indicated that if Iran launches a strike in retaliation for Israel killing a top Iranian general last week, Israel will respond by destroying Iran’s nuclear sites.

The Times of Israel highlighted a report from a London-based Arab news organization this week that cited a “Western security official” who said that Israel has been conducting air force drills in recent days “that include preparing to target Iranian nuclear facilities and other key infrastructure.”

Israel eliminated Mohammed Reza Zahedi, the top commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s Quds Force in Lebanon and Syria, from the battlefield last week as he met with other Iranian commanders and leaders from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group.

The Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces, a staunchly pro-IRGC political group, responded to the strike by praising Zahedi’s “strategic role in forming and strengthening the resistance front as well as in planning and executing” Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack against Israel.

Tranny Sues Women-Only App Giggle for Denying Membership

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a legal battle unfolding in Australia, Roxanne Tickle a transgender ‘woman’, has initiated a lawsuit against the women-only social media app Giggle for Girls, alleging discrimination after being denied membership.

The app, created by Sall Grover with the intention of providing a female-only “safe space,” employs an AI-based gender verification process to prevent men from joining. Roxanne Tickle, identifying as a woman, attempted to apply for membership in 2021, but his access was revoked. Tickle’s lawyer, Georgina Costello, argued in the Federal Court in Sydney that Grover unlawfully discriminated against Tickle’s gender identity, asserting that Tickle perceives and presents himself as a woman.

Representing Giggle in the lawsuit, Bridie Nolan highlighted the app’s purpose as a refuge for women, aiming to combat “male online digital violence” such as harassment and stalking. Nolan contended that the app’s policies did not breach sex discrimination laws, as they are designed to foster equality between men and women in online spaces.

Tickle, who received a female designation on his birth certificate from the Australian government in 2019 following transition surgery, asserts that gender is not solely a biological construct but also influenced by social and psychological factors. Costello emphasized that while Tickle was assigned male at birth, he has transitioned to living as a woman.

The case has attracted attention from the Australian Human Rights Commission, with Sex Discrimination Commissioner Anna Cody providing submissions regarding the interpretation of relevant provisions of the Sex Discrimination Act. However, the commission clarified that it is not a party to the proceeding and has not opined on whether Tickle was subjected to discrimination.

Woman Sentenced to Prison for Selling Ashley Biden’s Diary

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge in New York has handed down a sentence to Aimee Harris, a Florida woman who admitted to participating in a scheme to sell the stolen diary of Ashley Biden, daughter of President Joe Biden.

Judge Laura Taylor Swain, presiding over the case, characterized Harris’s actions as “despicable and consequently very serious,” as reported by The New York Times. Harris, a 41-year-old mother of two, was sentenced to one month in prison, three years of probation, and three months of home confinement. Additionally, she was ordered to repay the $20,000 she earned from the sale of the diary.

The Department of Justice revealed that Harris collaborated with Robert Kurlander to sell the stolen diary to an organization, identified as Project Veritas, for $40,000. The diary and other belongings belonging to Ashley Biden were reportedly discovered in a private residence in Florida in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election.

Despite attempting to sell the materials to former President Donald Trump’s campaign initially, they were rejected and encouraged to hand them over to the FBI. Harris and Kurlander pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property in December 2022, expressing remorse for their actions.

However, delays ensued in the legal proceedings, with Harris citing various issues, prompting prosecutors to seek a harsher sentence. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams criticized Harris for “abusing the administration of justice” throughout the court proceedings.

Although Project Veritas did not publish the contents of Ashley Biden’s diary, the group is currently under federal investigation. Alleged pages from the diary were published by National File, claiming to be sourced from a Project Veritas whistleblower.

Kurlander, aged 60, who also participated in the scheme, has not yet been sentenced. However, he has cooperated with the federal investigation, leading prosecutors to request a six-month delay in his sentencing.

In response to the ordeal, Ashley Biden described the incident as “one of the most heinous forms of bullying” in a statement provided to the court.

Schumer: Mayorkas Impeachment Will Be Resolved ‘Quickly as Possible’ (VIDEO)

/3 Comments/in , /by

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says the articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas are “absurd” and that he will “resolve this as quickly as possible.”

As reports circulate that Schumer is readying a motion to dismiss articles of impeachment against Mayorkas, the majority leader suggested to the media on Tuesday that he is looking to “resolve” the matter quickly.

“We’re going to try and resolve this issue as quickly as possible,” Schumer said. “Impeachment should never be used to settle policy disagreements.”

“We’re going to try to resolve this as quickly as possible. As I’ve said in the past, it’s absurd, and there are no charges in the House complaint that rise to the level of impeachment,” Schumer said when asked again. “… we’re going to move forward and resolve this as quickly as possible.”

Biden: I’ll Consider Further Unilateral Action on Guns, Can’t Believe Trump Said ‘No One’s Going to Touch Your Guns’ (VIDEO)

/4 Comments/in , /by

During an interview with Univision that took place last Wednesday and aired on Tuesday, President Joe Biden stated that he would consider taking further executive action on guns and criticized 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump because Trump “famously told the NRA that, don’t worry, no one’s going to touch your guns” if Trump won.

Interviewer Enrique Acevedo asked, “[G]un violence remains the number one cause of death for children in America. Latinos have made it a top priority across the country, especially in places like El Paso and Uvalde in Texas. Your administration called on Congress to pass common-sense gun laws, but that’s unlikely to happen in the next few months. If you’re re-elected, would you consider taking further executive action on this issue?”
