A Hard-Fought Triumph in Israel
Posted By: 4250Luis, 10/14/2025 12:39:16 PM
Barbarism didn’t win. For more than two years, Hamas clung to the people it had taken hostage and brutalized as leverage over Israel in the war that the terror group initiated on October 7, 2023 — men, women, and children, Israelis and foreign nationals, Jews and non-Jews alike.Through ephemeral deals and in daring raids, some were liberated. Too many, though, were killed or languished in Gaza’s dungeons during the war that followed. Throughout the conflict, the Israeli government maintained that the war would end when the hostages were released. Today, the hostages who were not murdered in Hamas’s captivity are home, and the war for their freedom is over.

The Nobel Peace Prize is dead—and it died of cowardice.
They gave Barack Obama a Nobel Peace Prize for hope.
Donald Trump earned a ten for results—and got no prize.
That single fact reveals more about the moral and institutional decay of Western leadership than any lecture about democracy ever could.
It wasn’t just a snub. It was a confession—a quiet admission that the Nobel Peace Prize, once a lodestar of moral clarity, has become a mirror of elite insecurities, incapable of recognizing peace when it comes from someone they didn’t script, sanctify, or control.
If politics is downstream from culture, and it is, we have a lot to worry about.
This is frankly because American culture has long been rotting like a 10-day-old avocado in the sun.
A good example, appearing in my X notifications yesterday, is a video of a white girl sporting corn-woven hair and speaking “Ebonics” while giving a cop a hard time.
“Why is she talking like that?” asks the original poster of the 54-second clip (below).X users reacting to the video were unsparing, with no small number attributing her behavior to low I.Q.
And one seemingly incredulous respondent asked, “Seriously, how does a white person become like this?
I would say, "Pity the poor Democrats," but they have spent far too many years being awful to warrant any consideration for whatever feelings their cold, leftist hearts might have. At the moment, the Dems are in political exile in Washington, D.C. Not by much, but it's exile nonetheless. As we have discussed many times, they aren't making much of a case to the American people to be brought out of it. Who knows? Maybe their "raining f-bombs on the Republicans" strategy will pan out. I remain skeptical about that.
They're also struggling with the government shutdown.

The Depth of Climate Knowledge

Changes that occur in the atmosphere occur in three dimensions. That should come as no surprise, even with the wrap-up late last month of Climate Week NYC. Yet so much thinking on climate change happens on a two-dimensional level.
Certainly, academic and government studies delve into the dimensional complexity of the airy environment, but the study results seem to be delivered and interpreted in a simplistic way.
Take climate conclusions derived from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report. The IPCC report is the bible of climate change collective wisdom, and its latest edition is the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
A total lack of understanding of the Middle East resulted in the United States leading coalition forces into Iraq in 2003. Unlike the First Gulf War to remove Iraqi forces from Kuwait in 1991, Arab nations stayed clear of the second engagement. Although these countries did not like Saddam, they understood the importance he played in maintaining the balance of power in the Middle East.When Operation Iraqi Freedom ended in 2011, Iraq had become an Iranian satellite, along with Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen. Iranian-funded Hamas controlled Gaza. The Middle East meltdown, refugee surge into Europe, .
If you're not a person who hates Israel and who has routinely shown sympathy for their terrorist enemies, Monday was a good day, with the surviving hostages being released as a result of the historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas, brokered by President Trump and members of his administration.But Monday was not a good day for CNN's longtime chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour, a British-Iranian "journalist" whose name has become synonymous with Israel- and America-bashing.
As RedState reported earlier, Amanpour was one of the sour-faced media figures who, while talking about the hostages being released, seemed to fret about Hamas supposedly losing their "leverage" in the deal.
President Donald Trump has performed nothing short of a miracle by halting the war in Gaza and securing the release of 20 precious souls who had been languishing in Hamas captivity since Oct. 7.
Trump’s efforts were greeted with jubilation and relief in Israel — and amazingly, in Gaza as well.
The cease-fire is the first step in a larger peace deal that could reshape the Middle East and end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for good.
This alone would have been enough for us — Dayenu! as we Jews say on Passover.
But Trump’s achievement is all the more extraordinary: His diplomatic breakthrough won’t cost American taxpayers trillions of dollars.
President Donald Trump settled scores with his political foes during his passionate address to the Israeli parliament on Monday, taking a swipe at Hillary Clinton and blasting his predecessors Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
Trump, who appeared before the Knesset on Monday to tout the Israel-Hamas cease-fire deal that he brokered, said that the two Democratic presidents who preceded him in the White House harbored “hatred” for the Jewish state.
“All of the countries in the Middle East that could have what we’re doing now, it could have happened a long time ago, but it was strangled and set back almost irretrievably by the administrations of Barack Obama and then Joe Biden,”
Former President Barack Obama stated that President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to quell crime in Democrat-run cities is “inherently corrupting,” arguing that he would have received a different reaction from conservative media if he had sent the military into Texas during his tenure. Obama spoke with left-wing comedian Mark Maron for the final episode of his long-running podcast, published Monday, in which he shared several of his grievances about how Trump has been leading the country.
For two days, the Venezuelan government didn't acknowledge that opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Price, though it's understandable. Illegitimate narco-terrorist president Nicolás Maduro is losing his stronghold on the nation, and Machado is largely the reason for that. On Friday, the whole world learned who she is and what she's fighting for, which amplified the country's desire for freedom and democracy, and especially its desire to remove the tyrant who holds it all hostage. Best Maduro can do is pretend her team is blowing up the not-in-service U.S. embassy in Caracas and that his security forces stopped them —
Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro is in a bind as the US ups the pressure.
He advanced the Christmas season to October, while his security forces probed his top officials to root out traitors interested in the $50 million bounty for his arrest.
Mobilized all Bolivarian militias and enacted drills; talked hard, defiantly, and sought foreign allies.

Joe Biden's post-presidency has been rough, to put it mildly.
Nearly nine months after Donald Trump reclaimed the White House, Biden is holed up in Wilmington, Delaware, grappling with a reality that must feel like political exile. He's dealing not just with the sting of losing power, but also the inability to sell access and enrich his family. Though he won’t admit to the latter.
The irony couldn’t be thicker. After years of attacking Trump and using the Justice Department in a desperate bid to put his successor behind bars, Biden now finds himself being told by his own advisers to stay quiet and act like a traditional ex-president.
Former President Barack Obama stated that President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to quell crime in Democrat-run cities is “inherently corrupting,” arguing that he would have received a different reaction from conservative media if he had sent the military into Texas during his tenure. Obama spoke with left-wing comedian Mark Maron for the final episode of his long-running podcast, published Monday, in which he shared several of his grievances about how Trump has been leading the country.
Barack Obama has fallen yet again for a boy-faced Democrat hoping to "turn Texas blue." During a recent interview on Marc Maron's podcast, the failed former president touted James Talarico, the Texas state lawmaker running for U.S. Senate, as a "terrific, talented young man." Democrats haven't been this excited about a U.S. Senate candidate in Texas since Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke, who lost his race in 2018 but also managed to impress Obama with his terrific talents.
Talarico won praise from Democrats earlier this year by going on Joe Rogan's podcast. He parlayed that appearance into a U.S. Senate campaign and fawning headlines, such as

News organizations including The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative Newsmax television network said Monday they will not sign a Defense Department document about its new press rules, making it likely the Trump administration will evict their reporters from the Pentagon.
Those outlets say the policy threatens to punish them for routine news gathering protected by the First Amendment. The Washington Post, The Atlantic and Reuters on Monday also publicly joined the group that says it will not be signing. AP confirmed Monday afternoon that it would not sign.
Hillary Clinton heaped some rare praise on her former arch-enemy Donald Trump for his handling of the Gaza peace deal in a recent interview.
“I really commend President Trump and his administration,” Clinton told CBS News 24/7 Friday.
“As well as Arab leaders in the region, for making the commitment to the 20-point plan and seeing a path forward for what’s often called the day after,” she added. Clinton’s comments came just a day after Hamas agreed to Trump’s peace plan in a stunning move that is expected to end the two year war that’s ravaged the Gaza Strip.

The Democrats' reaction to President Donald Trump's historic peace deal in Gaza has been interesting. Some on the left had the grace to give him the credit he deserved. Then, you had folks like former President Barack Obama, who, while welcoming the deal, couldn't bring himself to even mention Trump's name.[snip]Then there were folks like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) who seemed to be implying that she had something to do with the achievement in her remarks, when, of course, she had nothing to do with it.[snip] "The president told me he did this on Indigenous Peoples Day in honor of you," Vance jokingly replied

Despite Antifa's Teletubby media offensive, multiple Antifa militants and at least one Antifa assault victim were arrested on Saturday night outside the Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) HQ in Portland, Ore. By Sunday, however, the next leftist psy-op had been deployed against ICE. Operation Full Frontal Rudity, as I call it, was in full effect on Sunday afternoon. This is an operation where naked males and females mount their bicycles to give the drug-addled "homeless" people slumped over like human tacos, parents with children, and retirees a show that nobody wanted to see —

Hamas terrorists have started to free the last remaining hostages in Gaza Monday morning, following a historic peace deal brokered by President Trump.
The freed individuals had spent over 730 days in captivity after they were among a group of 250 kidnapped from southern Israel and dragged into Gaza during Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7, 2023 invasion. An elated mother of one of the freed Israeli hostages was able to video chat with her son for the first time since he was taken captive by Hamas during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
"You’re coming home! You’re all coming home!" Einav Zangauker was seen telling her 25-year-old son,
In 2018, President Trump was riding high on a wave of winning. Republicans had never had it so good, but Democrat operatives plotted their comeback, flooding Republican-held Congressional districts where Hillary Clinton had won. Millions poured into Orange County, California, as Democrats sensed an opportunity to flip Congressional seats blue for the first time in decades, if not in history. Gavin Newsom, then the Lieutenant Governor, was campaigning for Governor, shoring up all the support he could for Democrats running for Congress across Orange County, including Katie Porter, a law professor from UC Irvine. A fat, squat character actress of a candidate, no one could imagine this hog winning anything.

The 2020 census was marketed as an “actual enumeration,” a neutral count of people for apportionment and funding. It was not. The same official who helped block a basic citizenship question in 2018, John M. Abowd, then the Census Bureau’s Chief Scientist, pushed through a new, opaque methodology in 2020 called differential privacy. The new system deliberately injected mathematical noise into every block count in America, turning the census from a headcount into a model with knobs. The knob that mattered most was a single parameter, epsilon, a secrecy shroud known only to a small inner circle.
The Democratic Socialists of America — the organization backing New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — denounced the “conditional” cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas and called for continued resistance against the Jewish state in a statement released Monday.
The DSA declaration titled “Until Palestinian Liberation” came days after Israel and Hamas agreed to halt fighting and begin exchanging hostages and prisoners under a US- and Arab-brokered deal.
The far-left group said the truce “will not end Israel’s assault on the Palestinian people or the theft and occupation of Palestinian lands,” describing it as a “conditional cease-fire” that “does not wash the hands of the ruling class that …
