In 2003,   Limor Son Har-Melech   was 7 months pregnant and driving home with her husband, Shalom, an ambulance driver, when Islamic terrorists attacked them. The car rolled over, killing her husband and injuring Limor. Seriously injured, the 24-year-old mother survived. So did her newborn daughter. Limor, still carrying the scars of the attack, married again, had children and decided to run for public office in Israel to protect others from what she had suffered. Last year, MK Limor, a member of the Knesset, was  stunned to learn  that her husband’s killer was being freed as part of the disastrous deal trading 2,000 Islamic terrorists for hostages. “This morning I woke up to the news that the terrorist who murdered my husband was released in a deal – no one told us about it,” she said. So she sponsored a new bill, the ‘Death Penalty for Terrorists Bill’. The bill calls for the “death penalty” for anyone “who intentionally caused the death of a person in an act of te...

California Democrats have a problem with their leading candidates. One doesn’t live in the state but allegedly lived, in the euphemistic sense, with a Chinese spy. Another has the looks and personality of a distempered boar and can’t stop screaming at staffers, reporters and anyone late with her lunch. A third is a billionaire who convenes events at luxury hotels to explain how he’ll fight against the billionaires for the working class he sometimes reads about in the paper. And those are their most popular candidates. But since this is California, the real problem is that all of those candidates are all the wrong color. Their skin lacks melanin. Two of them can’t even tan. Their distant ancestors probably came here on the Mayflower or some other European sailing vessel. Basically they’re white. Much too white. There are other more ‘diverse’ candidates like a Latino former Los Angeles mayor, a Chinese State Controller, a Black Jewish school superintendent, and Biden’s former Latino Sec...

“I’m the Prime Minister of Spain. This Is Why the West Needs Migrants,” Pedro Sanchez headlined his New York Times op-ed. “The West needs people. Currently, few of its countries have a rising population growth rate. Unless they embrace migration, they will experience a sharp demographic decline.” Spain’s demographic decline is helped along by the nearly 1,000 euthanasia cases a year. Those who die are replaced with the growing flood of Muslim championed by Sanchez. The West needs people, but only certain kinds of people, and it euthanizes the wrong kind. Spain’s population is set to shrink by one more as Noelia Castillo Ramos, a 25-year-old girl in a wheelchair, has her life ended before it even really began under the authority of the state. Prime Minister Sanchez claimed that migrants “care for aging parents, work at small and large companies, harvest the food that’s on the table.” Migrants also raped Noelia. Her parents lost custody of her after they divorced when she was only thirt...

When Emir Balat, accused of taking part in throwing IEDs at a rally against the Islamization of New York City near the mayoral residence, was being led out by an FBI agent, he raised his right finger upwards in what media accounts incorrectly described as an “ISIS salute”. The New York Post called it “a universal salute for ISIS”. But there is no such thing as an ISIS salute. It’s the traditional Islamic salute used during prayers to their deity and, much like “Allahu Akbar” is used by Islamists proclaiming that they represent Allah and are combating infidels. ISIS beheaders held up one finger after beheading their non-Muslim victims, but so do most Muslims. The ISIS flag, a terrifying black and white chimera to most westerners, simply declares that Allah is the only deity and Mohammed is his messenger: the founding premise of Islam. The persistent myth of an ‘ISIS salute’ continues to crop up when media outlets try to distinguish between Islam and some imaginary ‘extreme’ version of i...

On May 10th, 1869, the first transcontinental railroad of almost 2,000 miles was completed and marked with a ‘Golden Spike’ driven in. Over 150 years and another 2,000 miles later, the New York City subway is struggling to finish its 10 mile Second Avenue line, underway in one form or another since the 1970s, and is suing Trump to help secure funding for $4 billion per mile. That’s not a typo. Houston’s entire budget is $7 billion . NYC wants to spend more than that on two stations. The $7.7 billion second phase of the 10 mile Second Avenue line will run only 1.8 miles. That’s $4.27 billion a mile. That’s more than double the cost of the whole nearly 2,000 miles of the first transcontinental railroad in today’s dollars. All to build a walkable distance of subway tracks. After $3.4 billion in grants from the Biden administration, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is suing the Trump administration for an immediate $58 million payout complaining that if the notoriously corrupt an...

  Last year the Trump administration designated Mexico’s Jalisco New Generation Cartel ( CJNG ) as a terrorist group allowing the military to carry out strikes against it and its leadership, but the massive drug cartel across the border understands the weaknesses of our system all too well. That’s why its new leader has American citizenship. Law enforcement, intelligence agencies and the military will have to jump through all sorts of legal hoops to spy on, target or take out Juan Carlos Valencia Gonzalez, who has a $5 million bounty on his head, but the best protection in the world because he was born in California . The new cartel leader’s drug dealing Mexican parents had a baby in America. That child became a Mexican citizen who runs a Mexican drug cartel that the government has designated as being at war with the United States, and yet we can’t simply remove his citizenship. And targeting the cartel boss without removing his citizenship will set off wails from D...

Zohran Mamdani campaigned on a promise to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods”. His tenant official Cea Weaver tweeted that she wanted to “impoverish the *white* middle class” because “homeownership is racist”, declared that “private property is a weapon of white supremacy” and warned that, “we’ll transition from treating property as an individual good to a collective good. Whites especially will be impacted.” Now Mamdani has shown the first sign of implementing these systemically racist proposals. Hidden at the bottom of the first page of his proposals to increase revenue through various gimmicks and taxes is a call to increase the estate tax “by lowering the exemption to $750,000 from its current value of $7.1 million” and massively raising the “top rate from 16% to 50%.” Why specifically $750,000? Why is that the magic number? The proposal doesn’t explain but the demographics do: New Yor...

Different people believe in different things. Some believe that we go to paradise after we die. Others that we disappear into cosmic dust. But environmentalist prophet Paul Ehrlich believed mankind would be reduced to cannibalism unless we stopped having children. Right away. And Ehrlich never gave up hope of seeing cannibalism in his lifetime. In ‘The Population Bomb’, the 1968 bestseller that became one of the foundational texts of the environmentalist movement and helped inspire the population reduction industry, Ehrlich opened with the statement that “the battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” After going through a dozen printings, later editions postponed the mass deaths and Armageddons to a safely more ambiguous, at least for the era, time “the 1970s and 1980s”. It got less cheerful from there. “Will we be willing to slaughter our dogs and cats?” the book backed b...
