Dozens of charitable causes have cut ties with Prince Andrew in the wake of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, according to a report.

Nearly 50 “patronages,” or causes supported by different members of the royal family, told The Telegraph they had ended their relationship with the embattled Andrew, who stepped back from public life more than a year ago in the wake of the Epstein affair.

Most of the 150 groups reached by the outlet declined comment, while some explained they felt it “no longer appropriate” to stick with Andrew, according to The Sun.

Others said they wanted to find a Royal “better suited” to their goals. (Read more from “Report: Prince Andrew Loses Nearly 50 Patronages After Epstein Scandal” HERE)

Israel Nears Full Blown War With Hamas; Dems Divide Over Israel on Full Display; U.S. Evacuates Military Personnel From Israel

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. Escalating violence between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas has cast a spotlight on deepening Democratic divisions over the Jewish state.

The party split played out in full view on social media this week after Hamas launched indiscriminate rocket attacks at Israel, which responded with airstrikes on Hamas targets in Gaza, reportedly killing some civilians. Israel is also dealing with domestic unrest from Arab rioters.

International observers are concerned about the possibility of “full-scale war.” . . .

President Biden and the Democratic old guard have voiced support for Israel’s right to defend itself from Hamas’ rocket attacks.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted Thursday that there are “fundamental differences between a terrorist organization, Hamas, that is indiscriminately raining down rockets — in fact, targeting civilians — and Israel’s response defending itself, that is targeting the terrorists.” Biden similarly said that Israel “has a right to defend itself.”

Israel Sends Ground Troops Into Gaza; Biden Defends Israel Response to Hamas Attack

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) sent ground troops into Gaza early Friday morning local time, in an effort to uproot Palestinian terrorists who have fired nearly 2,000 rockets at Israeli civilians over the past several days.

The IDF tweeted after midnight:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted a video message, vowing to restore “quiet and security to the State of Israel.”

He added: “The last word was not been said, and this operation will continue as long as necessary.” That may have been a warning to the international community, including the United Nations, not to intervene until Hamas had been defeated. (Read more from “Israel Sends Ground Troops Into Gaza HERE)

Biden: Israel Didn’t Overreact In Its Gaza Response

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden said Thursday that he does not think Israel has overreacted in its response to massive rocket fire from Gaza.

“One of the things I’ve seen thus far is that there has not been a significant overreaction [by Israel],” he said during a press conference.

“The question is how they get to a point where there is a significant reduction in the attacks, particularly the rocket attacks that are indiscriminately fired into population centers, but I expect that I’ll be having some more discussions,” Biden added.

He also noted that his administration is in frequent contact with Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and others about finding an end to the violence. (Read more from “Biden: Israel Didn’t Overreact In Its Gaza Response” HERE)

‘Horrifying’ Reports From Netherlands: Thousands Euthanized in 2020

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A record high number of people were euthanized in the Netherlands in 2020, according to horrifying new reports from media outlets in the region. Nearly 7,000 people were killed legally by their doctors, and over 200 of them were mentally disabled.

Dutch News, an English-language media outlet covering the Netherlands, said the RTE Regional Euthanasia Review Committees have finished their annual reviews, analyzing every death by euthanasia. They reported that 6,938 people were killed in 2020, which represents a 9% increase over 2019, fulfilling predictions that euthanasia deaths in the Netherlands would soon be skyrocketing.

Additionally, 3% of the deaths were those of people with dementia or psychiatric disorders, meaning that roughly 208 people were killed due to a mental disability.

Jeroen Recourt, chairman of the RTE, said the numbers are to be expected, and are seemingly not troubling at all. “The figures are part of a larger development,” he told Trouw. “More and more generations see euthanasia as a solution to unbearable suffering. But the idea that euthanasia is an option in case of hopeless suffering, gives a lot of peace.” (Read more from “‘Horrifying’ Reports From Netherlands: Thousands Euthanized in 2020” HERE)

Biden State Department Sympathizes With Palestine After Hamas Attack; Trump: Palestinian Rocket Attacks on Israel Provoked by Joe Biden’s ‘Weakness’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters on Tuesday he witnessed photos of Palestinian children killed amid a barrage of rocket fire from Hamas, and a response from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), and “hard not to look at those pictures and feel a sense of the suffering.”

Price, speaking at his regular press briefing, called for “restraint and de-escalation in an effort to preserve life,” according to the Times of Israel.

“Reports of civilian deaths are something that we regret and would like to come to a stop. We don’t want to see provocations,” Price said. “The provocations we have seen have resulted in a deeply lamentable loss of life.”

“We call for restraint and for calm. Israel has the right to defend itself and to respond to rocket attacks,” Price said. “The Palestinian people also have the right to safety and security, just as Israelis do.” (Read more from “Biden State Department Sympathizes With Palestine After Hamas Attack” HERE)

Donald Trump: Palestinian Rocket Attacks on Israel Provoked by Joe Biden’s ‘Weakness’

By Breitbart. Former President Donald Trump released a statement condemning the Biden administration for showing “weakness and lack of support for Israel” amid Palestinian terror raids.

“When I was in office we were known as Peace Presidency, because Israel’s adversaries know that the United States stood strongly with Israel and there would be swift retribution if Israel was attacked,” the statement reads.

Trump explained, “Under Biden, the world is getting more violent and more unstable because Biden’s weakness and lack of support for Israel is leading to new attacks on our allies.” . . .

Trump concluded by slamming Democrats who “continue to stand by crazed anti-America Rep. Ilhan Omar, and others, who savagely attack Israel while they are under terrorist assault.”

Terrorist Group Launches Rockets at Jerusalem on National Holiday (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The city of Jerusalem, Israel was attacked Monday by the militant Palestinian group Hamas on the day of Yom Yerushalayim — a holiday celebrating the reunification of Israel after the Six-Day War of 1967.

Hamas, a radical Islamist group, launched dozens of rockets from Gaza to Jerusalem and Central Israel. Footage shows children and parents scrambling as rocket sirens go off.

A fire started on the Temple Mount next to Al Aqsa Mosque. The mosque is in the same area as the Dome of the Rock — an ancient shrine in Old City.

A Palestinian Authority election was recently canceled in Israel. The election was scheduled for May 22 but PA President Mahmoud Abbas was likely to lose to Hamas and decided to blame Israel in the postponement decision. “We have decided to postpone the election until the participation of our people in Jerusalem is guaranteed,” Abbas said.

Indians Using Fake IDs With Donald Trump’s Name To Thwart Lockdown

/1 Comment/in , /by

Police in northern India’s Himachal Pradesh are investigating at least two cases of people using fake Chinese coronavirus E-passes — one bearing the name of former U.S. President Donald Trump and another of the famous Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan — to enter the region during an ongoing coronavirus lockdown.

“HP [Himachal Pradesh] Police is in receipt of a complaint regarding fake registration in the name of Mr. Donald Trump and Mr. Amitabh Bachchan in the Covid [Chinese coronavirus] e-pass platform,” the Himachal Pradesh State Police Department wrote in a Twitter statement issued May 7.

“The passes were under [the] essential service provider category. The one in the name of ‘Donald Trumph’ [sic] called him the son of ‘Mark Jones’ and said he was to visit ‘Parkash Sharma.’ The other said Bachhan, the son of ‘Harbans Rai Bachhan’, was to meet ‘Rajiv Sehjal.’ The passes were valid for May 7 only,” the Times of India reported on May 8.

China’s Digital Currency Could Bring Surveillance State to Wallets at Expense of U.S. Dollar

/0 Comments/in , /by

China’s emerging digital currency could enhance the yuan’s importance in the international financial system at the expense of the U.S. dollar and extend the Chinese surveillance state into wallets around the world.

A combination of visibility of currency users and technical control is a monetary dream for Chinese communist officials, who have staked their regime on their ability to monitor and curtail private activity within China. The digital yuan’s acceptance beyond mainland China could give the regime a significant geo-economic tool, one that bypasses the network of banks and financial institutions that are subject to U.S. laws and binds client states more directly to Beijing.

Beijing’s moves come amid tensions with the Biden administration as the new government in Washington continues calibrating its China policy after the Asian giant’s tactics led former President Donald Trump to sour on its president, Xi Jinping, after spending years touting their alleged friendship. Before Trump, former President Barack Obama grew equally frustrated with Chinese officials, sources said at the time. Now, it’s Biden’s turn.

“There’s no anonymity, which [means] the central bank and the central government is going to watch you and how you spend your money,” said former Department of Commerce assistant secretary Nazak Nikakhtar. “It’s programmable.” (Read more from “China’s Digital Currency Could Bring Surveillance State to Wallets at Expense of U.S. Dollar” HERE)

Generals Warn of Civil War Due To Creeping Islamism

/1 Comment/in , /by

A coalition of retired French military officers is warning that civil war could come to the European nation because its government is failing to control mass migration and “creeping Islamism.”

In a letter, the leaders pointed to the problems of cultural Marxism, runaway multiculturalism and the growth of no-go zones, neighborhoods where it is unsafe for non-Muslims to venture, noted Soeren Kern, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute. . .

Kern explained there is “widespread public indignation over a French justice system compromised by political correctness — as evidenced by the refusal to prosecute an African immigrant from Mali who, while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ (‘Allah is the Greatest’), killed an elderly Jewish woman by breaking into her home and pushing her off her balcony.”

The letter was published by the French magazine Valeurs Actuelles. The reaction has pushed conservative National Rally leader Marine Le Pen ahead of French President Emmanuel Macron in polling before next year’s election.

The letter said: “The hour is grave. France is in peril. … We who, even in retirement, remain soldiers of France, cannot, under the present circumstances, remain indifferent to the fate of our beautiful country.” (Read more from “Generals Warn of Civil War Due To Creeping Islamism” HERE)
