Hamas has successfully convinced activists from LA to Tokyo that Israel is committing genocide in its attack on the Gaza Strip.  But the real maker of genocide in Gaza is Hamas. The latest story on the Hamas War is a blockbuster from the New York Times that ran on Wednesday November 7th. In it, the Times quotes Khalil al-Hayya, a member of Hamas’s top leadership. And this Hamas leader reveals the terror group’s real goal: a permanent war on all of Israel’s borders. A war involving all of Israel’s Arab neighbors. Setting the Middle East aflame. And producing a struggle that…
You are being kept in the dark. The most publicized news on the Hamas war in the last few days has been the opening of the Rafah Crossing with Egypt to let some of the thousands  of citizens of foreign countries out of Gaza, including some Americans. And the Israeli bombardments two days in a row of the â€ÅJabalia Refugee camp,†a modern city.  In this pair of attacks, Hamas claims 195 people were killed,   entire blocks were flattened, and a twenty-story, modern building was collapsed. But the area has not actually been flattened.  It has been very deeply cratered.  Why?  Because the goal was to…

For thirty years, China has been building step by step toward a tipping point in the global balance of power.  A tipping point that will allow it to take over.  And to impose what it calls a New World Order. That tipping point may have come with the war in Gaza. Why? China’s Xi Jinping has been talking for at least ten years about toppling what he calls the global hegemon, the global center of power, the United States. China’s effort to take over as global leader showed its head nineteen years ago, in 2004, when China’s future leader Hu Jintao, visited…
We all know what happened Saturday. Or we think we know. Gaza fired what it said were 5,000 rockets at civilian targets in Israel.  And Hamas fighters infiltrated Israel using a massive bulldozer to tear a hole in the smart fence draped with razor wire that separates Gaza from southern Israel. Over 1,500 invaders streamed through. Some of them crossed the barrier on engine-powered paragliders. Some on motorcycles. Some in vehicles disguised as Israeli police cars. These infiltrators then entered 22 small Israeli communities and went methodically from home to home, butchering the fathers, mothers, and children inside.  In some cases, raping the women.…
On Tuesday September 21st, Target announced that it was closing nine stores in four states in October because of a new form of organized crimeâ€â€smash and grab robberies, flash robberies. The sort of robberies that hit a Wawa convenience store in Philadelphia on Sunday September 24, when it was invaded by between 50 and 100 teenagers who swept goods off the counters and threw drinks at each other. One girl even twerked on a counter. And the kids filmed their deeds. By the time they left, they’d utterly trashed the place.    Wawa then closed the store permanently. Target says that it…
This is a story of the prizes and the prices of fame. At 8:00 Wednesday morning, September 20th, Donald Trump Jr’s X account proclaimed, “I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024.” Then the account burped out a Tweet about Joe Biden complete with a racial slur followed by this to Elon Musk: “my dad owns u @elonmusk bum.” But within an hour the account had been fixed, the offending tweets had been erased, and Don Jr’s account was back to normal. The hack was a minor annoyance.  Like a mosquito…
In a story that appeared Wednesday morning, September 14th, The Wall Street Journal exposed a hidden crisis called the silver tsunami. What’s the silver tsunami? It’s a tidal wave of homelessness among the elderly. Senior citizen homelessness today is five times what it was in 1990. Who are today’s homeless elderly? Baby boomers. A privileged generation of Americans most of whom can expect to live ten years longer than they would have in 1960. The flood of homeless boomers are sleeping in their cars. Complete with their possessions.  And their cats and dogs.  Or sleeping on sidewalks.  At a time of life when…

One of the world’s most fabled neighborhoods for the rich and famous is Beverly Hills, the home of Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston, Adele, Jack Nicholson, and Eddy Murphy. And in Beverly Hills is one of the most luxurious and expensive shopping areas you have ever seen, Rodeo Drive. But is the allure of Rodeo Drive about to end? The New York Post made a claim Tuesday September 5th. That â€ÅBeverly Hills is becoming a ghost town.â€Â The reason? â€ÅHigh-end retail stores,†says the Post, are bailing out because of â€Åa spate of high-end smash-and-grab gang robberies.†The Post reports that…
The attack on social media just won’t stop. Three weeks ago, on August 8, the Child Mind Organization updated a report on its website headlined, â€ÅDoes Social Media Use Cause Depression?â€Â  The answer was basically yes. Meanwhile, anonymous backers of the Kids Online Safety Act are running an expensive series of TV ads with mothers who have suffered from the deaths of their teen-age children.  The plight of the mothers is horrendous.  But the purpose of these ads is to pin the deaths of the kids on social media and to call for government regulation of Big Tech. Meanwhile, the surgeon general put…
Thomas S. Dee, an education professor at Stanford University, has just released the results of a study he carried out in partnership with the Associated Press.  The study’s topic is student absenteeism in 40 states, and the results are disturbing. The Dee study concludes that 6.5 million students are chronic absentees.  They are absent more than one in ten days of the school year.  What’s worse, in seven states, chronic absenteeism has doubled since the days before Covid. Over 50% of students are chronic absentees in states like Alaska and New Mexico. Almost 50% are chronically absent in Washington DC. And in New…
In 1968 Pope Paul VI established a Global Peace Day. A New Year’s Day on which the Pope gives a speech â€Åreflecting the signs of our times.†Wednesday August 9th, the Vatican put out an announcement about the speech the pope will give at next year’s Peace Day, coming up on January 1st, just four months from now.  The theme the pope will zero in on is â€ÅArtificial Intelligence and Peace.†The Holy Father’s concern is â€Åthat a logic of violence and discrimination does not take root in the production and use of†artificial intelligence. And, Pope Francis says, artificial intelligence’s rapid…

The Washington Post ran a headline Wednesday, August 2, saying Donald â€ÅTrump has been indicted before. Historians say this time is different.†Why is this time different? From the Democrat point of view, we are at a turning point in American history. The next 458 days, many Democrats feel, will determine whether we have a democracy or a dictatorship. The next 458 days may be one of the most important periods in your life and mine. Former president Donald Trump’s third indictment, issued Tuesday August 1st, accuses Mr. Trump of â€Åa conspiracy to defraud the United States by using dishonesty,…
Digital IDs are sweeping the world, but are barely seeping into America.  This American techno-sluggishness has disturbing implications. We Americans have traditionally led the world with our technologies and our infrastructure. That is no longer the case. Our roadways and airports make us look like a third world country. Even our water and sewage systems are antiques from nearly two hundred years ago and are crumbling under our feet. That’s also true of digital ids. We are woefully behind. A digital id simplifies your life. It allows you to get into a movie theater or get on a bus simply by showing…
Cleveland, Ohio, has now been rated the most stressed-out city in America three years in a row. The personal finance company WalletHub compared 182 cities across what it called â€Åfour key dimensions†of stress: work stress, financial stress, family stress and health and safety stress. The five most stressed-out cities in America, WalletHub concluded, are Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore, Birmingham Alabama, and Philadelphia. And the least stressed cities are South Burlington Vermont, Fremont California, Sioux Falls South Dakota, Overland Park Kansas, and Fargo North Dakota. What differentiates the high stress cities from the low? Poverty. The five highest stress cities all…
