Ignoring Islamic Threat, Aussie PM Vows

Original Article

Almost as quickly as Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese could pretend not to notice who shot up Bondi Beach on Sunday — a horrific act of Islamic terror against local Jews during Chanukah — the Labor leader announced swift action to insure that such an attack could never happen again.What swift action might that be?" I can hear you ask. "Roll up the ISIS cell in Sydney that apparently everybody knew about? Expel unassimilated foreigners? Teach Australian police to, I don't know, shoot back right away instead of standing around with their thumbs up their you-know-whats?" Nah. According to Albanese, what Australia really needs is more gun laws.

Our Prime Minister is an absolute moron, he has been protesting and marching about free Palestine since his University days. He has created this mess by letting this hate fester, by letting in more and more Muslims who live in enclaves that non Muslims don’t go to anymore, by recognising Palestine as a state and by letting those anti semitic marches take place even closing down the harbour bridge for a March. I hope all those people particularly the politicians who March get voted out next time but albanese himself should resign.

Tougher gun laws? How about enforcing the existing gun laws? Or better yet Muslim-control laws? Wise up, Australia, you let in too many Muslims, and their religion of peace is incompatible with your lifestyle.

Since criminals and terrorists do not obey laws, gun control laws actually only affect law abiding citizens by taking their guns away and their ability to defend themselves against criminal and terrorist attack and other crimes.

More gun laws? The shooters legally owned their guns under Australia's laws. The problem is not the trigger, it is the person pulling it. All the gun laws in the world won't stop a terrorist from getting a gun or other weapon and using it. If it hadn't been a rifle it could have been a car, machete, speed boat, baseball bat, knife, or bomb.

When you have already denied the people any legal access to guns, then putting more gun laws on the books is not likely to have any effect.

We are going to keep getting these Islam Muslim attacks against Jews and the West until the politicians (Left) realize (or read the Koran) that their religion tells them to eliminate those who are not in compliance with their Holy Book. Most Muslims chose to ignore that part of the Koran to kill the infidel. The West better wake up; this is a Holy War of Islam against all other religions. With many that take the Koran literally, we can not co-exist.

The phrase "doing the same thing and expecting a different result" is often misattributed to Albert Einstein and is commonly used to illustrate the futility of repeating ineffective actions.. Don't know for who actually said it first, but it sure applies here.

Peaceful protesters certainly exist, but in many instances, the same marchers who cry "from the river to the sea" also provide cover, logistics and recruitment spaces for operatives who work closely with Hamas or other terrorist organizations. A report from the University of Indiana shows how a transnational network of NGOs and campus groups spread antisemitic and pro-Hamas narratives, coordinated across borders and amplified by social media. The message is simple: Israel is "colonial," Jews are "settlers," and violence against them is "resistance." European rallies have repeatedly featured Hamas flags, praise for the October 7 attackers and calls to "repeat" the massacre – all under the label of "human rights."

Amal Clooney’s public image is one of a trailblazing human rights lawyer unafraid to hold world leaders to account, who just happens to be married to a movie star. But critics say the British barrister and professor is selective in her approach, favoring causes that are at odds with the state of Israel, while questioning her choice to work with a hardline Muslim group. Eyebrows were raised when it emerged last week Amal may have had a hand in drafting a constitution for Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, which President Trump is in the process of designating a terrorist group.

The post continues: That's a rather long post, and I repeat it in its entirety because it's important; it bears contemplation, while the horrors of the Bondi Beach terror attack are fresh in our minds.

The LAPD Gang and Narcotics Unit on Monday posted the since-deleted photos of Nick Reiner, 32, being detained near a Metro station just 15 miles from Rob and Michele Reiner’s California home. Nick Reiner, whose face is blurred out, is seen being forced to the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, according to one photo.Another snap showed law enforcement pushing the suspect against the front of a squad car.In the caption, the unit only identified the man as “a double homicide suspect.”

William Blake was wrong to say that Milton was “of the Devil’s party without knowing it.” In Paradise Lost, John Milton demonstrated a breathtaking vision which is the last thing that a poet of the ‘devil’s party’ is capable of doing. If you want to see a work of the ‘devil’s party’, Netflix has a cartoon ‘reimagining’ Cinderella’s stepsisters as the misunderstood heroines. This devilishly unoriginal work follows half a dozen similar revisionist reworkings of classic children’s stories so that the villains are the heroes, e.g. Maleficent, Wicked, Cruella, for the same reason. Members of the ‘devil’s party’ don’t create: they take what someone else made, and invert it.

But the reality is a lot more complicated, and it has a lot to say about the current distraction and incompetence of the Republican Party. “Indiana lawmakers defy Trump’s redistricting push,” headlined The New York Times.Indiana Republicans defy Trump,” headlined the Associated Press. Politico described the Thursday vote as “Indiana GOP’s Trump rebuke.” To be sure, there’s definitely an anti-Trump factor to the fact that 21 of 40 Republican state senators — a majority! — voted against redistricting.

Instead, Schumer went with the standard Democrat talking point of pushing more gun laws after extant gun control fails to prevent a criminal from acting out his heinous intentions. Forbes posted video of Schumer claiming Australia is showing “courage” by seeking ways to expand and implement new gun controls after the Bondi Beach terror attack.

President Donald Trump’s tasteless comments following the apparent murder of Hollywood legend Rob Reiner on Sunday showed that the president, at least on that occasion, had a speck in his eye. Before criticizing Trump, however, liberals should make sure to remove the logs from their own eyes. (Matthew 7:3) Recall, for instance, that a swarm of liberals, including Reiner himself, once greeted news of the late conservative media icon Rush Limbaugh’s cancer diagnosis — and later Limbaugh’s death — with politically-motivated heartlessness. “Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal if Freedom at The State of the Union: I loathe this *****g man,” Reiner wrote

The enhanced Obamacare subsidies Democrats shut down the government to protect back in October are officially dead. House Speaker Mike Johnson slammed the door on extending the bloated COVID-era handout, saying the House will focus instead on moving forward with a new Republican healthcare package. The temporary subsidies, born out of pandemic panic, were supposed to expire at the end of this year. Democrats, of course, wanted them extended indefinitely—because nothing is ever temporary in Washington when it involves taxpayer money. But Johnson made it clear on Tuesday that this was the end of the line.

After Bondi Beach terror attack, the West

The Bondi Beach attack in Australia was shocking, but not at all surprising. Some of the details were distinctive — an idyllic spot on the Pacific Ocean instantly turned into a killing field; a father-son terror squad — but the basic picture of radicalized Muslim immigrants targeting a gathering of Jews was drearily familiar. These events follow the same pattern because the fundamentalist version of Islam is, at its root, hostile to Jews. Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that there was a refugee flow of Unitarians, and some proportion of those Unitarians were antagonistic to traditional Christians — such that they vandalized their businesses, harassed them in the streets,

Instead the terror refugee got into a confrontation with police and died in an exchange of fire. North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley insisted that there was ‘no evidence of political, racial or religious motivation’. “At this point it seems [no] more notable that he’s Muslim than I’m Lutheran,” he bafflingly argued.
