A majority of young Americans said they believe Israel should “be ended and given to Hamas,” according to a shocking poll. The survey, conducted THIS WEEK by Harvard-Harris polling, found 51% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 said they believed the long-term answer to the Israel-Palestinian conflict was for “Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians.” Only 32% said they believed in a two-state solution, and just 17% said other Arab states should be asked to absorb Palestinian populations. The figure was in stark contrast to other age groups, which all dramatically preferred a two-state solution. Just 4% of Americans 65 and over

Something supernatural is happening. Mankind literally has all of humanity’s knowledge literally available at our fingertips. And yet, Christendom is exhibiting mass psychosis. This level of hatred, ignorance, stupidity, intolerance and stupidity has to be due to demonic influence enabled by an increasingly immoral culture. The only answer is that half the population is possessed. Our long term prognosis is even worse. This ends when the nation/s repent, return to God and beg for his forgiveness.

Has any generation been so easily manipulated? We blame education but what about the responsibility of parents to impart knowledge into their children when they are young? It is our duty to make sure our children know the truth and seek the truth. We might want to admit that ceding our children to the complete brainwashing of higher education was not a good thing. My mother especially made sure I knew history. She wanted me to know the truth. She was interested in what I was being taught in school and drilled into my head our family values and history. Now that I look back I see she was always ready to teach because she wanted to make sure I could think for myself and understand history. We have to do that for our kids because there are people out there who are dying to shape their thinking. It seems the powers that be set out to dumb down and emotionalize every issue. I honestly do not know if these kids will wake up to the truth that their teachers and “influencers” have lied to them.

per 15, parents can't teach what they do not know, or care to learn. We are on at least the 2nd generation of dumbed-down, misinformed, brainwashed sheeple. Remember Walter Krankheit, Dan Blather. The 'long march through the institutions' has probably had its greatest success through public edumacation, greatly aided by the socialistic teachsters' union. Then the Enemedia. With the great replacement well underway, we are just about overwhelmed by Evil.

Sure, let's take advice from what is probably the dumbest age group. The problem with people this age is that they think they know more and are smarter than anyone else. This group comprises recent high school graduates and those who are in college or just graduated from college. They're full of knowledge that means absolutely squat in the real world, but they know that yet.

A large majority of the "yutes" do not have personal values of right and wrong absolutes. They often do not think things through when making decisions about cause and effect, and as a result many are bounced around by the 'decisions' they make based on 'feelings' or emotion without rational thought. They see this issue in terms of what THEY or others who have influenced their thought to be "fair" and "unfair", and see Israel as the OPPRESSOR and the so-called Palestinians as the OPPRESSED or 'good' versus 'evil' Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu is quoted as saying "If Palestinians were to lay down their guns tomorrow, there would be no war. If Israel were to lay down its arms, there would be no Israel". The Vegetable like many Presidents before him have often tried to create some sort of "Peace deal" or to DICTATE to Israel whatever terms should be followed not by Israel making a self determination. In many "Agreements" that the US State Department (guided heavily by the elitist money people who want to create and shape our World) has tried to put together, those who are hellbent on destruction of Israel try to dictate the terms, but they always fail. There are a large number of moderate muslin people who live peacefully in Israel and just want to live their lives and be left alone and the warmongers never seem to be happy to just "live and let live". There has always been a "generation gap" between those who have lived and have perspective based on the knowledge or life's lessons learned in the university of hard knocks, and then there are those who do not have this wisdom of experience who believe that they are somehow more enlightened. They are also the most abused by lack of rational thinking and doing what they are told without question. There is value in their passion, but they are often misled. As Obi Wan Kenobi said in The Empire Strikes Back-- "your feelings do you credit, but they may be used to serve the Empire." We are STILL seeing the effects of the 2008 national election and the changing moral and cultural values being washed away.

Google has agreed to pay $700 million and make several other concessions to settle allegations that it had been stifling competition against its Android app store — the same issue that went to trial in a another case that could result in even bigger changes. Although Google struck the deal with state attorneys general in September, the settlement's terms weren't revealed until late Monday in documents filed in San Francisco federal court. The disclosure came a week after a federal court jury rebuked Google for deploying anticompetitive tactics in its Play Store for Android apps.

The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas released a new hostage video on Monday, showing three elderly male hostages who appear, under duress, to demand that Israel pay any price necessary to secure their release. The hostages were identified by the Jerusalem Post as Chaim Peri, 79; Yoram Metzger, 80; Amiram Cooper, 84. Peri, ironically, was a peace activist who had volunteers to take Palestinians from Gaza to Israeli hospitals, during peacetime. The video was released as Israeli negotiators met in Warsaw, Poland, with representatives of the Qatari government, who mediate on behalf of Hamas, to discuss a possible new deal to exchange Israeli civilian hostages for Palestinian terror convicts.

Carol Fox, an Americore Chapter 11 trustee, told the House Oversight Committee on Monday that the now-bankrupt healthcare company previously provided a $600,000 loan to James Biden on the promise that he could bring in funding from the Middle East that never materialized. On March 1, 2018, after Americore wired a $200,000 loan to James and Sara Biden’s personal bank account, James Biden sent a payment of the same amount to Joe Biden for an alleged loan repayment. Fox previously filed a lawsuit against James Biden claiming he made “representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East

Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday signed legislation that makes it a criminal offense to enter Texas illegally, setting up a potential clash with President Joe Biden's administration over immigration policy and border enforcement. Abbott, a Republican who has implemented other policies directed at migrants that have drawn court challenges, signed the bill at an event in Brownsville, Texas. “Biden’s deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself,” Abbott said, adding that the bill’s goal was to “stop the tidal wave of illegal entry into Texas.” Crossing into the United States in between designated ports of entry is already a crime under federal law.

Arlington National Cemetary is hallowed ground. Its history is tied to both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War–the Arlington Estate was originally created as a tribute to George Washington by his adopted grandson, and by an odd quirk of fate, Robert E. Lee wound up temporarily possessing the property at the outbreak of the Civil War. The federal government seized it for military purposes, and it became the site of our most prestigious national cemetery. The Civil War was, by far, the most deadly war in our history, with over half a million American deaths. At the turn of the 20th century, Congress agreed to intern

The document from the Vatican’s doctrine office, released Monday, elaborates on a letter Francis sent to two conservative cardinals that was published in October. In that preliminary response, Francis suggested such blessings could be offered under some circumstances if they didn’t confuse the ritual with the sacrament of marriage.

That’s not a saying -- that’s what happened to Bud Light. Harvard University is finding out the hard way that actions (and inactions) have consequences as early admissions applications plummeted 17 percent this autumn in the wake of the antisemitism controversy roiling the Ivy League campus.

Americans Yawn at CDC Warnings About 'Tripledemic' 22 replies

While America's public health officials issue one warning after another about this winter's "tripledemic" of COVID, flu, and RSV, the American public is responding with a collective yawn — if vaccination rates are anything to go by. The CDC's most recent weekly vaccination update says that "receipt of the COVID-19 vaccine is low across all socio-demographic subgroups and has consistently varied by age, race and ethnicity, poverty status, health insurance status, and urbanicity." As of December 2, fewer than 18% of adults reported getting the updated COVID-19 vaccine since Sept. 14, and about another 15% of adults said they would "definitely" get vaccinated.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams again called out the Biden administration and the federal government over its 'baffling' inability to address the Big Apple's migrant crisis. Adams, a Democrat, has often clashed with the president and Democrats in Washington, constantly begging Washington for money to solve a disaster that he claimed will 'destroy my city.' It comes alongside the news there are now over 67,000 migrants living in the city's shelter system, over triple the 21,300 at this time last year. In a Sunday interview, Adams was asked why his fellow Democrats in DC have ignored his repeated, in-person pleas to help, the mayor said he was at a loss and

Raw unprotected gay sex. Not a topic that a mainstream political news outlet normally handles. However, when you are talking about Democrats and the U.S. Senate sometimes such outlets do have to handle it. Such is the case with a 24-year-old staffer for Senator Ben Cardin who was discovered on a private video having raw unprotected gay sex in a chamber of the Hart Senate Building on Capitol Hill. So if you are Politico, how do you cover this scandal? Well, very very delicately as you can see in the Saturday Playbook, "Senate staffer out after sex tape scandal."

Pope Francis turned 87 on Sunday, closing out a year that saw big milestones in his efforts to reform the Catholic Church as well as health scares that raise questions about his future as pope. Francis celebrated his birthday with cake during a festive audience with children Sunday morning, and there were “Happy Birthday” banners in St. Peter’s Square during his weekly noon blessing. One early present came Saturday, when a Vatican tribunal handed down a mix of guilty verdicts and acquittals in a complicated trial that Francis had supported as evidence of his financial reforms. The biggest-name defendant, Cardinal Angelo Becciu, was convicted of embezzlement.

It has long been obvious that the Democrats badly want Donald Trump to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024. This may seem counterintuitive in light of a recent spate of polls showing the former president leading Joe Biden, but this is primarily an artifact of the latter’s weakness. The most reliable polls show Trump bumping up against a ceiling of about 47 percent of the popular vote, which is consistent with his performance in the last two elections. Moreover, in order to win in the Electoral College, he must recapture several swing states Biden narrowly won in 2020.

During an appearance on FNC’s “Special Report,” former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) called on viewers not to back former President Donald Trump. She said she believed he would not uphold the rule of law. Cheney said, “Every single president, Republican and Democrat, since George Washington, has ensured the peaceful transition of power. Donald Trump tried to seize power. So we can disagree with Biden policies, but the fact that he tried to seize power, the fact that he ignored the rulings of 61 courts, the fact that he ignored his own attorney general, his own White House counsel, who told him what he was saying about the election was false.
