In 1953, the Swiss novelist Max Frisch published a play called The Arsonists. It's a pitch dark comedy about a small town ravaged by a group of maniacs disguised as traveling salesmen, who sweet-talk their way into people's homes and then set them on fire. Its protagonist is a dolt called Biedermann—bieder being German for honest, respectable, and upright. He's aware of the danger, and yet, when the arsonists knock, he lets them in. The tragedy, Frisch argues, is that he almost has no other choice: The arsonists are such smooth talkers that it's easy, when listening to them, to ignore the large drums of kerosene and the matches

Can't believe Newsweek published this. But the comments show that the readers are probably worse than the editorial board, who are at least allowing a pro-Israel piece.

Despite accurately fingering Obama as a primary cause of Hamas resurgence, the author couldn’t help himself from sinking into the miasma that is Newsweek. He praises GW Bush, Clinton and Biden for standing strong against anti-Jew terrorism yet somehow neglected to mention Trump. The president responsible for the Abraham Accords, for halting payments to Islamic terrorists in Gaza and the West Bank and who moved our embassy to Jerusalem is missing from this article. Rather strange.

Obama is only doing what the Koran tells him to do, support the islamic savages in their attempted conquest of the world. Just like Biden, Barry is a mentally ill pervert, just not as old as his former VP. He used to be better at hiding his intentions but desperation is bringing out the worst in him and he can't stop flapping those purple lips.

Where’s the quote from former President Donald Trump? He is the greatest friend Israel has had in modern history. Remember moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem or how about the Abraham Accords? And still, you can’t find it in your heart to acknowledge that. Thank you for pointing out the absolute mess the Boy King made of the Middle East and the rest of the world. Maybe if you had listened to what he was saying in 2007, all the reality we are suffering through right now would just be a bad dream. Sorry, I am not impressed with your new found enlightenment.

Before the internet there was these things called magazines, newspapers, dictionaries and encyclopedias. You actually had something worth reading. My tops as far as magazines went was Newsweek Time and Ebony. Now I wouldn't pay for a subscription to any of them. Especially the first two. Newsweek in the age of PDJT went full leftist propaganda that I'm shocked that they dared to mention Da Wun in a bad light. It's not shocking however that they failed to mention what the beforementioned PDJT did in relation to the Jewish State. For that Newsweek will still remain a trash publication in my book.

It must have been a national delusion/deception for Obama to be elected president with all that we knew about him at the time. Our son's elementary school in California in 2008 was pushing for Mr. Hussein Obama's election by sending home with the kids Left's propaganda urging families to vote for him. When we parents protested, the school said, "oh, we'll send out the republican side later." It didn't matter. The damage was done. When I tried to talk to a senior citizen that Obama wasn't a good choice for president, she said, "but he will do so much for me." So much for me? She wasn't looking at reality and if Obama was good for the country.

The former tattoo artist and star of reality series "L.A. Ink" spoke about finding and restoring her relationship with God on the "Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey" podcast. She explained that in her 20s she had a "free-thinking mentality to question everything, especially authority." That led her to look into new age practices like witchcraft, meditation and yoga. "I was just searching for answers and meaning in so many of the wrong places like most people do," Von D said. After also struggling with alcohol and drugs, she became sober almost 17 years ago, but still found the non-Christian spirituality wasn’t helping her, comparing it to "short-lived band-aids on a sinking ship."

After Hamas massacred 1,400 men, women and children in Israel last month, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that the terror group “and its allies” could inspire attacks on Americans "here on our own soil." He also told the Senate that the FBI is conducting “multiple, ongoing investigations” into people affiliated with the U.S.-designated terrorist group. What Wray didn’t say is that the FBI has been investigating Hamas’ biggest ally in America for the past 30 years – without filing any charges. Launched in 1994 as a secret front organization to support Hamas, according to declassified FBI wiretap transcripts and FBI testimony, the Council on American-Islamic Relations has, in the decades

The entire Democratic political establishment freaked out on Sunday morning when the New York Times published a story headlined, "Trump Leads in 5 Critical States as Voters Blast Biden, Times/Sienna Poll Finds." The story was based on a new survey in which voters in six key swing states — Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada — were asked whether they supported President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump in a 2024 matchup. The result: In five of those states, all except Wisconsin, Trump led Biden. The poll found Trump leading by 10 points in Nevada, by 6 in Georgia, 5 in Arizona and Michigan, and 4 in Pennsylvania

Peruse campus literature. Watch clips from university protests. Scan interviews with pro-Hamas protestors. Read the chalk propaganda sketched on campus sidewalks. Talk to raging students in the free speech area. And the one common denominator— besides their arrogance—is their abject ignorance. Take their following tired talking points: “Refugees” We are told that the Palestinians after more than 75 years of residence in the West Bank and Gaza are “refugees.” If that definition were currently true, then, are the 900,000 Jews who were forcibly exiled from Muslim countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia after the 1947, 1956, 1967 wars still “refugees?”

Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters massed in Washington, DC, Saturday afternoon before descending upon the White House to chant, “Allahu akbar” and “F–k Joe Biden” as they accused the president of genocide and demanded a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” the crowd dotted with Palestinian flags and signs cried at the start of the event, which drew attendees from across the country. The chant – which is growing increasingly popular in the wake of Hamas’ deadly incursion into southern Israel last month and Israel’s subsequent retaliatory attacks on Gaza – is widely considered antisemitic because it implies the elimination

In public education’s latest blunder, the Oregon Department of Education has just decided that basic reading, writing and math skills are not required for students to graduate with a high school diploma. Prior to the passage of Senate Bill 744 in the Oregon Legislative Assembly’s 2021 session, the state’s “Assessment of Essential Skills” requirement for high school graduation was sensible: “read and comprehend a variety of text, write clearly and accurately,” and “apply mathematics in a variety of settings.” Students were required to demonstrate these skills by “earning at or above a cut score on the Oregon Statewide Summative Assessment test.”

Once appointed Slovakia's prime minister, Robert Fico wasted little time in reiterating the nationalist populist agenda that propelled him to victory in the country's September 30 election. "You'll hear a sovereign Slovak voice from Slovak ministries and watch a sovereign Slovak foreign policy," Fico declared. It's a pledge that's in line with his campaign promises, which mixed extremist and pro-Russian narratives. And there's plenty of concern that Fico's return to power, five years after he was ousted over the murder of journalist Jan Kuciak, could help to undermine unity in the European Union and NATO.

The American Medical Association (AMA) will debate whether to reverse its stance on assisted suicide this month at its next interim meeting. A set of resolutions, proposed by AMA’s Resident and Fellow section, suggest the AMA should abandon its opposition to assisted suicide, adopting instead a neutral stance on the practice. The resolutions also propose changing the official language from “assisted suicide” to “medical aid in dying” (MAID) at the meeting,[Snip] These proposals, if adopted, fundamentally change the AMA’s position on assisted suicide. The AMA determined in its last policy deliberations that assisted suicide is “fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer.”

Special counsel Jack Smith's team filed a lengthy response Monday to former President Donald Trump's motions to dismiss his federal election interference case on statutory and constitutional grounds, saying the former president "stands alone in American history for his alleged crimes." Trump's lawyers have filed multiple motions to dismiss the Jan. 6 case, including mounting arguments that the charges brought against him were unconstitutionally applied and ran afoul of the charging statutes. Trump in August pleaded not guilty to charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors," using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations,"
