Phantom Nation Obliterates the 'Free Palestine' Hoax
Posted By: DVC, 7/21/2026 10:25:42 PM
The charge of “Palestinian genocide” actually encompasses two bold, baseless lies. One is the assertion that there exists a distinct Arab Palestinian people group with significant historical roots in Palestine. The other is the claim that these people are deliberately being targeted for extermination by Israeli Jews. Shai ben-Tekoa’s Phantom Nation: Inventing the “Palestinians” as the Obstacle to Peace thoroughly debunks the first lie and chronicles how it was constructed, developed, and subsequently spread around the world, especially by left-leaning mainstream journalists. It argues convincingly that real peace becomes a possibility only “when the world sees through the essentially antisemitic myth of this phantom nation.”

The source of the nation’s worst cyclosporiasis outbreak remains a mystery after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it discovered a false positive over the weekend.
Initially, the FDA said a lettuce sample supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico, which is headquartered in Salinas, tested positive for the parasite cyclospora on July 18. However, FDA laboratory scientists then reviewed the sample to confirm the finding. They “have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive,” the FDA said in an update on Sunday. Currently, there are “no confirmed positive sample results” among products tested for cyclospora.
In 1990, New Jersey passed a law banning over 30 named “assault firearms” and any weapons “substantially identical” to those named. The law had a few other nuances that also limited gun buyers’ and owners’ rights. At the same time, New Jersey banned all magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds.
In 2018, New Jersey amended the law to ban all magazines holding more than 10 rounds. It was that amendment that finally spurred legal action, in the form of a lawsuit filed by the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs, Inc., Blake Ellman, and Marc Weinberg.
A Florida congressional candidate and former U.S. Marine is facing backlash after posting a video calling President Donald Trump "the Antichrist" and saying the president "must be killed."
William Upham, a Republican write-in candidate for Florida's 5th Congressional District who describes himself on X as a prosecutor "running to fix a broken political system," opens the nearly seven-minute video by saying he entered the race to restore bipartisanship, return power to the working class and "fix our broken political system."
The tone quickly shifts, however, as Upham says he has come to believe the country is "broken" and that America is engaged in a spiritual battle.
National Rally leader Marine Le Pen would win next year’s French presidential election against any opponent, according to a survey conducted after it was revealed this week that she would be eligible to campaign to replace Emmanuel Macron in the Élysée Palace.
This week, the Paris Court of Appeals reduced the sentence against three-time presidential candidate Marine Le Pen over alleged misuse of EU Parliament funds. Critically, the court cut the time barring her from standing in any European election to allow for the National Rally (RN) leader to stand in the French presidential election next April.

As Democrats scrambled to abandon embattled candidate Graham Platner, after a rape allegation against him torpedoed his insurgent campaign, one progressive lawmaker said it "was a very easy call" to never back him in the first place.
Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., had no endorsement to rescind, having been among a small handful of Democrats who publicly warned against Platner amid growing controversies, even as much of the party continued embracing him.
"I’m relieved. I'm sure Mainers are relieved. He disqualified himself," Dean told Fox News Digital in an interview after Platner announced his intent to drop out of Maine’s Senate race. He later officially dropped out Friday evening.
Elon Foretold

Nobody in the 1850s ever wrote a novel about a man who changes society by figuring out how to mass-produce horseless carriages. Similarly, nobody a century later wrote the story of the man who turns the world upside down by building miniature electronic brains in his garage.
So how did a popular American writer of the 1940s come up with a novel that accurately portrayed the activities and historical role of Elon Musk as a pioneer in the exploitation of space?
That man was Robert A. Heinlein, and his book, published in 1950, was titled The Man Who Sold the Moon.
The other day, I argued that the modern panic industry has mastered a single, lucrative trick: detect something, strip away all quantitative context, and declare a crisis before the science can deliver a verdict. The mold-sniffing dog and the Florida government’s botched candy arsenic announcement were my examples. I suggested the playbook was institutional and repeatable.
I did not anticipate how quickly the next example would arrive—or how much larger it would be.

I’m not someone who watches horror movies, literally ever, because I hate them.

Trump walks Iran into a trap
24 replies
And here you thought Trump was being naïve, trusting Iran to adhere to the MOU (Memo of Understanding.). It’s not a treaty or an agreement or a promise. It’s just a memo. Here is what I think Trump is doing, four steps ahead of everyone else, as usual.
Trump made a big deal out of signing the MOU publicly. Cameras, people standing around, a worldwide press event of the signing. But Trump knew, and still knows full well, that the Iranians have no intention of adhering to the memo or to any future deal. They will cheat. And when they do, Trump will be able to say,

A software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to about four hundred non-citizens voting several years ago, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill announced on Tuesday.
The error, which occurred under Governor Phil Murphy, added about 6,600 individuals to voter rolls even though they had indicated that they were not citizens. Sherrill’s announcement comes as Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin alleged that New Jersey had tens of thousands of non-citizens on its voter rolls last week.

executed 3 over parking garage contract
dispute, charges say 20 replies
A 30-year-old St. Paul, Minnesota, man is accused of executing three people inside a leasing office Monday over a parking garage contract dispute.
According to charges filed in Ramsey County, officers were called to the apartment complex on the 1500 block of St. Paul Avenue shortly after 4 p.m. after several people reported gunshots and screams. One caller said two people appeared to be critically wounded inside the apartment leasing office.
When officers arrived, they found three victims fatally shot.

Hormuz, showing the limits of intensifying airstrikes 14 replies
The U.S. and Iran are back to bombing every day in a bid to control the Strait of Hormuz. And neither is backing down, showing the limitations of President Donald Trump’s reliance on escalating airstrikes to bend Tehran to his will.
While the Trump administration says it is open to diplomacy, Iran so far has refused to loosen its grip over the crucial oil shipping corridor in the Persian Gulf. It is raising questions about the strategy for the next phase of the conflict as intensifying attacks have collapsed an interim ceasefire deal, left additional American troops dead and sent U.S. gasoline prices back up —
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega on Sunday said his country is moving toward not holding a presidential election next year, appearing to maintain his shared control over the country with his co-president and wife, Rosario Murillo.
Ortega said at a government rally marking the 47th anniversary of the Sandinista revolution’s takeover of the country that there “won’t be any more elections here for them to try to seize the government and seize power,” according to a translation of the rally from Reuters.
“The days when parties backed by the Yankees and the Somocistas would return to power are over –— never again,”

Thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., holding that states may reserve girls' and women's sports teams for biological females without violating Title IX or the Constitution, New Hampshire parents of transgender teenagers have dropped their lawsuits to allow their sons to play on the women's sports teams. One of the confused youth chose to stop playing on his soccer team because it was no longer fun. As our sister site Twitchy said, "That's as good as self-deporting."
Exactly.

Senate Homeland Security Chairman Rand Paul released new documents Monday that he said revealed the FBI stopped Customs and Border Patrol from searching and questioning Peter Daszak upon his return to the United States from China.
The latest documents come just over a week before former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci is set to testify in front his panel on whether he lied to Congress during the pandemic about whether his office had funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
Fox Business correspondent Edward Lawrence recently reported on a big problem that the Biden administration left with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).
He explained to Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner how the SPR was now at a 43-year low, noting how the Biden administration had drained 180 million barrels before the 2022 midterm elections. It was clearly for political reasons to help in the elections, not for the reason you're supposed to do it - for emergencies in the market supply. Then Biden never fully refilled it, Lawrence explained. But it gets worse than that. (X) The current Undersecretary of Energy, Kyle Haustveit,
Texas Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate James Talarico is trapped between two oncoming trains that are about to crash into each other. On the one hand, Talarico has been having fundraising success, mostly because he's done a great job of pretending to moderate his positions on transgenderism and aberrant Christian views, while claiming he now wants to secure the border. However, this moderation is not sitting well with his far Left progressive base.
Just last week, Talarico wrapped up a 750-mile bus tour from El Paso to the Rio Grande Valley, claiming he wanted to show up, listen and learn from the border communities.

A prominent black Big Apple politician compared Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s comrades in the Democratic Socialists of America to white supremacists as a bitter rift between Democrats spilled onto social media.
Queens Borough President Donovan Richards breathed new life into a longstanding complaint among minority lawmakers that the largely lily-white DSA ignores race in its crusade to grow its ranks and dismantle capitalism.
“White supremacy comes in all forms,” Richards posted on social media late Sunday.
The slap erupted from an debate online after a report in the New York Times that highlighted how the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party focuses on furthering the group’s agenda and largely has blinders —
Over the past week, the Iranian regime has demonstrated once again that its ambitions extend far beyond destroying Israel.
It is a war against the entire Middle East and, ultimately, against the United States and the West.
Tehran then launched missiles and drones not only against US assets but also against infrastructure in Arab countries across the Gulf, in addition to Jordan, presumably so they would pressure US President Donald J. Trump to call off US firepower and return instead to waste-of-time negotiations for a waste-of-time "deal" that Iran would not honor in the first place.
On Sunday, the cameras were on Spain’s Ferran Torres, as he scored the goal that delivered “La Roja” their second World Cup championship.
On Monday, the cameras were on him again, for a very different reason.
As the bus carrying the triumphant Spanish players slowly wove its way through Madrid’s packed streets, cameras from inside the top of the bus caught the wording of Torres’ red, backward-turned hat, which read: “Make Spain Great Again.”
With the most recent departure of True Value Hardware headquarters, Illinois appears to be mimicking California's business-repellent formula, bolstering President Donald Trump's warnings to blue states that higher taxes equate to higher exits.
"Job-producing people and companies are being forced to flee at levels never seen before. Remember, once people and companies leave, they are never coming back," Trump posted to his Truth Social account in April.
True Value joins the ranks of other longtime Illinois companies like Boeing, Tyson Foods, Morton Salt and Caterpillar, the latter of which pointedly cautioned that the state's inability to balance the budget and lower taxes would drive out businesses.

There never was a country called Palestine or people called Palestinians in history.
Both are inventions of latter half of the 20th century for political purposes by Arabs.
Ask for the name of an ancient Palestinian king, or a great ancient battle between Palestinians and ANY ancient country. There are NONE.
Ask to see ancient Palestinian money. There is none to see. It never existed.
