Israeli Response to Iran’s Attack to Set Course of Widening War

The U.S. is hoping for a measured reaction, but it has limited ability to influence its closest Middle East ally

As Israel weighs how to respond to Tehran’s latest missile barrage, it could take a page from its previous playbook when, after days of deliberation, its military targeted a single Iranian military site.

Few expect Israel’s response to be as narrow this time, posing a fresh test as the Biden administration seeks to avoid a new spiral of escalation.

“The U.S. already lacks sufficient diplomatic leverage to compel a cease-fire in Gaza and Lebanon,” said Jonathan Panikoff, a former U.S. intelligence officer now with the Atlantic Council, a Washington-based think tank.

Kamala’s Fear of the Media

How, exactly, does she intend to engage with Putin, Xi and Kim Jong Un?

Fear. If you are afraid to engage the media, how can you be expected to engage with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, China’s Jinping Xi, Iran’s leaders, or North Korea’s Kim Jong Un?

Vice President Kamala Harris has been reluctant and has refused to hold a news conference in more than 66 days or give any one-on-one interviews with members of the national press, even before becoming the Democratic nominee for president.

Macho Christianity is flexing its muscles

We fear the return of demons

Is he the messiah? Or just a very naughty boy? Since Russell Brand found Jesus he hasn’t stopped talking about it, whether on TikTok, or Tucker Carlson’s live show, or while baptising other men in a lake while clad only in his tighty-whiteys. Then, over the weekend, he and Jordan Peterson led a crowd of 25,000 outside the Washington Monument in the Lord’s Prayer as part of the Rescue the Republic gathering.

Perhaps it’s all showbiz. Or perhaps all these putative messiahs are signs of the End Times. Certainly the idea that the American Republic needs rescuing at all — let alone with prayer — suggests there’s an apocalyptic mood afoot. Last Sunday, even Donald Trump — not renowned for his piety — got in on the game, posting the Catholic prayer to St Michael on X.

The Taliban has been nullifying the divorces of tens of thousands of child brides

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Antony Blinken are one heck of a diplomatic team—from a new BBC report on Sunday comes the news that with the Taliban solidly in control of Afghanistan since the U.S. handed it over in August of 2021, little girls who were sold into sex slavery but escaped through “divorce” are now being dragged back to their “husbands.” 

I blame western liberals like Trudeau who still trot out the likes of Malala as if she in any way represented what is or what could be Islam.

It was lie they peddled to make themselves feel superior to those who told the truth about the Mohammedan death cult.

A truth they were ready to ignore if it advanced their agendas.

Well Malala and her family made out like bandits as liberal guilt and the need to virtue signal resulted in millions being dumped on them. So there’s that.

Destroying America from Inside the Movies

The Damned is a Trojan horse critique of modern America.

Roberto Minervini’s The Damned is titled after Luchino Visconti’s awesome, harrowing 1969 epic about Nazi decadence, The Damned. Minervini is an Italian immigrant (not a “migrant,” as the media and politicians like to misname the illegal invaders) who arrived in the U.S. at age 30 in 2000 — during the Bush-Gore electoral conflict, he recalls. Since then, Minervini graduated from New York City’s socialist university The New School, eventually settling in Texas, where he chose native white locals as the subject of his semi-documentary filmmaking.

Are We at the Beginning of the End of Homo Sapiens?

Earth rise – Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders

The human ingenuity that helped expand the human race could well work to destroy it.

The probability that the human race will be drastically reduced in magnitude has risen meaningfully in modern times.

As an economic historian, I have always been fascinated by big changes occurring over time. The ultimate change, over the longest possible passage of time, relates to the creation and destruction of galaxies, planets, and related celestial debris. Confining ourselves to Earth, it relates to the creation and destruction of various forms of life over time.

Union boss who threatened to ‘cripple’ economy lives in luxe 7,000 square-foot mansion

Harold Daggett — the union boss who has vowed to “cripple” the US economy if ports don’t ban automation and raise dockworkers’ wages sharply — had a Bentley convertible parked outside his sprawling mansion in New Jersey this week, exclusive photos obtained by The Post reveal.

Photos taken by drone on Tuesday show the British luxury car parked with its top up outside what appears to be a five-car garage attached to his 7,136-square-foot, Tudor-style home located on a 10-acre property in Sparta, a leafy enclave 50 miles west of New York City.

It’s Been a Bad News Week for Lithium Ion Batteries

There are some lessons to be learned here, but we’ve become so dependent on these things so quickly that I’m not sure what we pivot to.

I think probably breathing deeply and figuring out how to deal with the problems we have on our hands right now would be a good thing before we proceed any further into this brave, new, all-electric mandated world, no?

CRESCIA: Trudeau is hanging on, even as his career is hanging on the ropes

In every politician’s career, there comes a time when one must decide how ambitious they want to be and if they are ready to go after more power and greater glory.

For Justin Trudeau, that moment occurred in 2012 with the “Thrilla on the Hilla” boxing charity event. After spending, much of his life unsure of what to do with himself he tried his hand as a bungee coach, acting, engineering and teaching. Nothing stuck. Deep down he faced a lingering insecurity of wanting to be his own man and break away from the privileges of being the son of a famous prime minister.

Bloc leader says the deadline still stands after Liberals vote against pension motion

Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet says the Oct. 29 deadline his party set for the government to meet a key policy demand still stands after the Liberals largely voted against his party’s motion on Wednesday.

“The government did not have the spine to provide us and Canadians and Quebecers with a clear answer,” Blanchet told reporters after Wednesday’s vote.

“They just want to get some more time and to keep not deciding about anything. They might hope that they go further than Oct. 29. They will not.

Not sure what this fan dance is about.

Are we being played? I bet the agriculture cartel protections get the OK and the pension demand gets shelved. 

I trust the Bloc about as much as I trust the Liberals and the cartels are important to them both.

Catherine Tait: This is why you need the CBC … you ignorant peasants

In 1998, Canada eliminated measles. The highly contagious and deadly disease was no longer spreading in the country, thanks to high vaccination rates.

Yet today, measles is again a public health problem, in no small part because of misinformation. As few as 30% of children have been vaccinated in some parts of Canada, and cases are on the rise. Clinicians say it’s only a matter of time before more serious outbreaks occur. Europe is the canary in the coal mine — measles cases there rose from 900 in 2022 to 30,000 in 2023, an increase of more than 3000%.

 The Covid vaccine tyranny is not the hill to die on Catherine.

And how does being Canada’s premier cheerleader for the Russia hoax and calling everything that isn’t left of Marx “extreme right wing” square with being a “reliable source”?

Not a word about the Ceeb having deteriorated into a child grooming cesspit of Liberal Party perversion and propaganda.

Just shut up and listen proles!

Britain’s industrial age ended this week – and there is nothing to replace it

It was quite a moment. With the simultaneous closure this week of Britain’s last remaining coal-fired power station and steel-making blast furnace, Britain’s once glorious industrial past this week drew to an ignominious close, driven to final destruction by a combination of net zero zealotry and rocketing industrial power costs.

All economies must change and adapt to survive, and ignoring the human cost of these closures, there is undoubtedly a certain poetic eloquence to them.
