Colorado amusement park

A man was found dead in a bathroom at a popular Colorado amusement park surrounded by explosives, guns, and ammunition, police said Monday. Authorities are investigating whether 20-year-old Diego Medina took his own life instead of launching an attack "of devastating proportions." Medina is believed to have broken into Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park while it was closed, where police say he was armed with an AR-style rifle, a handgun, and explosives, some of which proved later to be fake. "While this investigation is still ongoing and very active, it is important to realize that given the amount of weaponry

America's infant mortality rate has risen for the first time in more than two decades, increasing significantly in southern and midwestern states.
Deaths among infants across the country increased from 19,928 in 2021 to 20,538 in 2022, representing a three percent rise, according to provisional figures from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Overall, the all-cause infant mortality rate of babies also increased by the same amount during this time, rising from 5.44 infant deaths per 1,000 births to 5.6 infant deaths per 1,000 births — the first year-over-year increase in the rate since 2001 to 2002. Rates of infant deaths increased the most among babies between
A federal jury in Missouri found a major group of realtors guilty of colluding to inflate real estate commissions and ordered the companies pay a little over $1.78 billion in damages, court filings show. The alleged conspiracy occurred from 2015 to 2022, the jury document reads. Prominent real estate groups such as the National Association of Realtors (NAR); HomeService of America Inc.; BHH Affiliates, LLC and others were accused of being involved. None of the real estate groups listed in the jury document escaped a guilty verdict. The jury document awarded the class plaintiffs a total of $1,785,310, 872.
Three weeks ago, the media marveled at the meltdown within the Republican Party over the House Speaker self-imposed disaster. Now that the House GOP has managed to stop shooting themselves in the foot, however, the potential for a collapse of the coalition has suddenly become more acute across the aisle. Will Democrats split and collapse over the war Hamas launched on Israel?
As Molly Ball writes for the Wall Street Journal, right now the battle between progressives and liberals, and Jews and everyone else in the Democrat coalition, looks far more serious and much more difficult to resolve:
To many on the left, the Israel-Hamas war is spurring what feels like
More than 200 faculty members at Columbia University said Tuesday they were “appalled by the spate of antisemitic incidents” on the Manhattan campus, a day after scores of their colleagues signed a letter defending students who supported Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 terror attack.
The new letter came after Jewish students rallied on campus to blast the administration’s “inaction” on what they called an “unsafe” atmosphere in the weeks since the attack, due to at least one attack on an Israeli student, death threats and rampant hate speech and vandalism. While the faculty members agree “there should be robust debate about complex and difficult ,
Ithaca, N.Y. — A Cornell University junior was charged Tuesday with making threats against Jewish students on campus.
Patrick Dai, 21, of Pittsford, posted threats on Sunday to shoot up a multicultural dining room on campus to an online discussion site, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York said in a news release Tuesday night.
The dining room, 104West!, serves food that meets Kosher, Halal and other religious guidelines. It’s next to the university’s Center for Jewish Living, where several dozen Jewish students live on campus.
Dai also called for the deaths of Jewish people and threatened

You have to hand it to Joe Biden, sometimes he has true gall to say the things that he does.
Biden had a typical Biden day: barely anything on his public schedule. Certainly not anything related to any of the crises that he has helped set into motion, such as Americans trapped and/or being held hostage in Gaza.
But he did deliver remarks from the White House about "protecting Americans’ retirement security."
You can read those remarks here. But what's notable about them is that there's nothing in there that protects anyone's retirement security. It's a recitation of how he's working to cut junk fees. So? People may

An Israeli strike on the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza caused many casualties, officials in the enclave said Tuesday.
The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Interior in Gaza reported that “20 homes were completely destroyed in the Israeli bombing that targeted a residential neighbourhood in Jabalya.”
The director of Gaza’s Indonesian hospital, Dr. Atef al-Kahlout, told CNN that “hundreds” of dead and injured people arrived at the hospital and “many are still under the rubble.” Israel Defense Forces spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht confirmed to CNN that the Israeli military had launched the strike, and said it was targeting a senior commander from the Hamas militant group.
FBI director Christopher Wray testified Tuesday that antisemitic threats are “reaching historic levels” across the U.S. in the wake of Hamas’s attack on Israel.
“I will say that this is a threat that is reaching in some ways sort of historic levels, in part because, as you know all too well, the Jewish community is targeted by terrorists really across the spectrum,” Wray said before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. “In fact, our statistics would indicate that for a group that represents only about 2.4 percent of the American public, they account for something like 60 percent of all religious-faith hate crimes.”
The head of the FBI warned the threat of a terrorist attack within the United States was an extreme concern for the U.S. government and has reached a heightened level since the Israel-Hamas war.
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Tuesday that Hamas's attack on Israel in October "will serve as an inspiration the likes of which we haven’t seen since ISIS launched its so-called caliphate years." "The terrorism threat has been elevated throughout 2023. But the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States to a
The Democratic Party is facing a crisis of identity. After Hamas invaded Israel on October 7th, killing well over a thousand people, including many women and children in the most brutal ways, the far-left found itself with a decision to make. Would it apply some nuance to the situation, or would it fall into its default of openly supporting Hamas?
Unsurprisingly, they chose door number two, with massive pro-Hamas protests breaking out across the country, many of which have included genocidal language against Jews. That has left the most vocal segment of the Democratic Party in conflict with the President of the United States.

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Israeli Government Spokesman Eylon Levy reacted to calls for humanitarian pauses by Israel by pointing out that, according to reporting by The New York Times, Hamas has ample supplies of fuel and other supplies for itself and calling on those pushing for a pause to demand Hamas release its own fuel.
Host Andrea Mitchell asked if Israel is concerned about the White House getting frustrated over the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Levy said that Israel welcomes “the very solid support that we have received from President Biden, his moral clarity and material support as well, in explaining

This weekend, hundreds of millions of Americans will dutifully set their clocks back one hour, convincing themselves that they’ve “gained” an hour – despite spending at least part of it resetting all their timepieces.
Americans should instead refuse to play along. Few government mandates combine such utter pointlessness and serious public health harms than the twice-a-year switch on and off Daylight Saving Time. It’s time to end the madness.
First, despite its label, “Daylight Saving Time” does not save daylight. It doesn’t even save energy. Two studies looked at energy use before and after changes in DST laws.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that a “revitalized” Palestinian Authority should retake control of Gaza if Israel succeeds in its goal of toppling Hamas, but that regional partners and international agencies could play an interim role. The comments by Blinken during testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee marked the first time the Biden administration has publicly declared its desire for the PA to return to the Gaza Strip, after privately raising the idea with regional partners since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. “At some point, what would make the most sense would be for an

In a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray provided some worrying — if not outright alarming — answers to questions from U.S. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) regarding current terrorist threats against the homeland. "What has now increased is the greater possibility of one of these foreign terrorist organizations directing an attack in the United States," Wray told senators on the committee. (Snip) "We should wake up, it is a time to be concerned — we are in a dangerous period."
Dropping the pretense. If you watch this testimony through the prism of the FBI knowing that domestic violent extremists, Hamas sympathizers and extremist elements of Islam have been protected by political correctness; if you accept the Obama administration and the professional political left aligned specifically with Islamic interests as expressed by the Muslim Brotherhood (ex CAIR); then this statement today by terrorism manager, FBI Director Chris Wray, looks exactly like what it is – ass covering.
A top advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly admitted that corruption is so rampant in the wartorn former Soviet state that officials are “stealing like there’s no tomorrow”.
Speaking anonymously to Time magazine, what is alleged to be a top presidential advisor to Zelensky said that the Ukrainian government’s efforts to stamp out corruption have proved fruitless, given that they were implemented too late to have any impact, including the firing of Minister of Defense Oleksii Reznikov. “People are stealing like there’s no tomorrow,” the top advisor is said
Joe and Dr. Jill on Monday hosted local public school children and military-connected kids for a Halloween party at the South Portico of the White House.
Biden showed up to the White House’s trick-or-treating festivities as himself – a creepy baby sniffer. (Photo) Dr. Jill told the children she was dressed as her cat Willow (she looked more like a rat).
Everything Jill Biden wears is tacky, tacky, tacky! She wore an ill-fitting dress with faux fur cuffs, tennis shoes, ears, face paint, and…. a tail. Yuck.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas revealed on Tuesday that 600,000 migrants evaded apprehension this year alone as they illegally crossed the border into the U.S.
Additionally, Mayorkas did not have information readily available on whether the 169 terror watch list members who illegally crossed the southern border were in jail or deported.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) asked President Joe Biden's DHS head during a hearing Tuesday the recorded number of illegal border crossers who were able to evade his agents in the last year. He also asked about the status of terror watch list individuals.
A Watershed Moment for Jews

What dominates the mass media is often fleeting importance for the enduring political landscape. Nevertheless, some events can harbinger momentous changes despite their initial ordinary nature. A particularly telling example was the initial shift of small number of White Southern Democrats into the Republican Party in 1964, a little-noticed event that foretold the shift of nearly all Southern Whites into the GOP. Such shifts are tectonic insofar as they may eventually fundamentally change the political landscape.
We may now be experiencing a tectonic shift of major magnitude, namely the exodus of Jews from liberalism.
A senior political official in the Palestinian Hamas terror organization told Lebanese television last week that the group intends to repeat its October 7 terror attack until Israel is annihilated.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) translated the interview. In it, Hamas political official Ghazi Hamad says that attacks on Israeli civilians are justified; that the cost in terms of Palestinian “martyrs” is worth the ultimate goal of ending Israel; and that Hamas will continue to mount such attacks. (Video) MEMRI noted (emphasis omitted):

At least two students have been stabbed at Van Nuys High School in Los Angeles after a fight broke out, according to officials.
A suspect is on the run and the school remains on lockdown.
Police responded to the stabbing attack at about 11am on Wednesday. A 16-year old boy is in critical condition after being stabbed. A 15-year-old was also stabbed and taken to the hospital.
A third student, another 16-year-old boy, was not stabbed but evaluated at the scene.
