[ad_1] Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected on Sunday a U.S.-backed plan to link Hamas’ disarmament in Gaza with a phased Israeli withdrawal. The proposal had the strong support of President Donald Trump, who called it “a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY.” “Israel does not accept the 15-point document,” Netanyahu told his cabinet. He said Israeli forces would not withdraw until Hamas surrendered “heavy weaponry, lighter weaponry, all weaponry.” Netanyahu also objected to the plan’s proposal for creating a “credible pathway towards achieving Palestinian self-determination and statehood.” “As long as I am prime minister, a Palestinian state will…

I am in Port Orchard, Washington, with my wife, Shelly, staying at The Comfort Inn all the way across The Generic States of America, where collective suicide has been dressed in a happy face. Humanity, under the auspices of global capitalism, tap dances its way to extinction. The end of the biosphere is being televised on FOX News in the breakfast area to the accompaniment of three varieties of glyphosate-infused cereal. Washington, the one-time “Evergreen State,” is being reimagined as the “Smoldering Ash State” right on FOX News. Wildfires rage in Spokane we learn with…

[ad_1] Whether biological men who claim to identify as women should play in girls’ sports is a matter of opinion. That individuals with XX and XY chromosomes are, respectively, female and male is not. The imbroglio resulting from WNBA Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham’s softly spoken defense of preserving women’s sports for women is endemic of the left’s hostility to facts. Last week, Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve, who favors allowing at least some men who claim to be women to play in the WNBA, defended those who disagree. She acknowledged that pro-women demonstrators have been peaceful and did…

[ad_1] Some excerpts from a long opinion by Judge Emily Marks (M.D. Ala.) Friday in U.S. v. Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc.: This dispute concerns the Government’s—specifically, the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama’s—decision to indict the Southern Poverty Law Center. The parties present diametrically opposed accounts of that decision. The SPLC contends that it is being vindictively prosecuted at the behest of various political actors—including the President of the United States—for engaging in speech protected under the First Amendment. To remedy this alleged constitutional wrong, the SPLC moves for dismissal of the indictment or, in the…

[ad_1] Those who challenge and protest U.S. policies are not foreign-paid terrorists; Rubio and other Trump appointees are using “McCarthy” tactics to stop dissent, says Ann Wright. Downtown Minneapolis ICE-out demonstration on Jan. 23 following ICE agent Jonathan Ross’ fatal shooting of civilian Renée Good. (Lorie Shaull /Flickr/ Wikimedia Commons/ CC BY 4.0) By Ann Wright Thin-skinned and heavy-handed, the Trump administration apparently feels like it is being singled out by those who dissent from its policies. As a result, Trump appointees are taking drastic “McCarthy” tactics to stop dissent. In less than one month, alleging that dissent and protests are part of attempts of…

[ad_1] In 2011, I recommended Dollar Vigilantes to buy Bitcoin at $3. Just after BTC reached a value of $1.00 for the first time ever, on February 9th, 2011. A few months later, in June, the price of one Bitcoin hit $10, then $30 on Mt. Gox and the rest is history.  Over the past 15 years I’ve seen every prediction imaginable. Bitcoin was supposedly going to zero more times than I can count. Then, a few years later, those same people were telling everyone it was going to $1 million. Neither extreme has ever been helpful. One of the…

[ad_1] Photograph Source: Swift Benjamin – CC BY 2.0 Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet got people talking with an early August tweet in which he relates a student activist’s take on the “affordability” issue. “A burrito,” the student told him, “shouldn’t cost $20.” On the putative political “right,” responses range between two endpoints. At one end, various “burrito index” projects demonstrate that it’s difficult, if not impossible, to find a $20 burrito in America unless it’s delivered or from a  restaurant with a big-name chef that charges $200 a plate for things cooked with weird “reductions” and served covered in…
