The foreign sources that aided and abetted the October 7, 2023 jihadist bloodbath

Larry Taunton wrote about the now tragic history of the October 7, 2023 jihad attack on Israeli targets, and how certain totalitarians also had a role in the barbarism, along with certain western sources:

Oct. 7 was years in the making and could not have been successfully executed without the aid and discretion of the people of Gaza. Moreover, it involved the assistance of numerous foreign players: China supplied the vehicles which were smuggled across the Egypt-Gaza border through tunnels; North Korea supplied weapons; Iran supplied weapons, technology, and training; and Qatar supplied money to build homemade weapons and to pay terrorists and the Gazans who worked for them.

In other words, Oct. 7 was an act of war.

It was planned with the precision of a Pearl Harbor. And like Pearl Harbor, the attack caught the enemy off-guard and flatfooted. There were indicators an attack might be coming: Israeli SIM cards, thousands of them, lighting up all over Gaza the night before the attack; Hamas carrying out military exercises openly; reports that key Hamas leaders were going to ground; laborers from Gaza with Israeli work visas caught smuggling weapons into Israel, and so on.

There's only so much evil that was undoubtably planned in the 20th century itself, and now we've experienced the horrific results. And in addition to the communists of China and such, there's also the following:

I inspect the package again: “UNRWA. I don’t understand.”

“I found it in one of the captured pickup trucks the terrorists used,” he says. “They were carrying antibiotics and emergency aid kits —”

I can fill in the rest: — paid for by US tax dollars.

As Taunton continues to note, the Biden administration played a very horrific part in this as did the UN, along with a certain Israeli figure:

More than two years after the attack and a legal fight to keep it classified, Assaf Shmuelevitz’s name had just been released by the Supreme Court of Israel, but not much more than his name. According to Ynet News:

Shmuelevitz is accused of impersonating an IDF captain in the early days of the war following the October 7 massacre, entering military command centers, recording classified conversations, collecting sensitive information, and passing it to unauthorized individuals.

Lawyers for Shmuelevitz have entered what in U.S. legalese might be called an insanity plea. SM rolls his eyes at the mention of it. Shmuelevitz’s role remains unclear: whether he was acting alone; who his handlers were, if, indeed, he had any; and the damage that he did or didn’t do. What is clear to my lunch companion is the role the Biden administration played in the Oct. 7 massacre.

SM’s feelings about Trump’s wobbly predecessor are reflected in Netanyahu’s remarks a few days earlier. The prime minister claimed Biden bore at least some responsibility for Oct. 7 because his administration slapped a weapons embargo on Israel that left the IDF with insufficient ammunition. Predictably, this was followed by fierce denials from Democrats. But this was the least of it.

The Biden administration funded Oct. 7.

This is something that'll definitely be recalled in repugnance in history and years to come. What Biden led to is in some ways much worse than what Jimmy Carter led to in his time. And now, the tragedy's struck most repulsively. Read more of the article in full.

Long after the 1st and 2nd world wars, Americans unwilling to consider freedom isn't free

A poll was taken revealing a sad double-standard in the USA when it comes to Iran's dire situation:

New polling conducted by J.L. Partners provided exclusively to Breitbart News ahead of its public release shows Americans, especially Republicans, by and large support toppling the regime in Iran but are unwilling to put any American lives at risk to do so.

The stunning new data shows that, yes, Americans do not like the regime in Iran and would love to see it wiped out. But it also has bright warning lights for the White House as the president considers his options because the data suggests that Americans broadly, and Republicans specifically, do not want to risk even a single American life to accomplish that.

J.L. Partners is one of the few pollsters to nail the outcome of the 2024 presidential race, correctly predicting that President Donald Trump would win the national popular vote against Democrat Kamala Harris.

Overall, the new poll obtained by Breitbart News exclusively shows, more Americans support the U.S. toppling the regime in Iran than oppose doing so, with 36 percent supporting such an action — 18 percent strongly supporting and 18 percent somewhat supporting — compared to just 21 percent opposing. Eleven percent strongly oppose and 10 percent somewhat oppose, with 24 percent of Americans indifferent offering neither support nor opposition.

Among Republicans specifically, support for the U.S. toppling the Iranian regime goes up even higher with 60 percent—36 percent strongly and 24 percent somewhat — supporting the move. Just 8 percent are opposed, 4 percent apiece somewhat and strongly, while 21 percent of Republicans are unsure.

While that seems strong on both accounts — among Americans broadly and among Republicans specifically — it’s in the follow-up questioning where things get dicey. Almost everyone who supports the U.S. toppling the Iranian regime only does so if zero American lives are at risk in so doing.

When asked how many American fatalities are an acceptable number to stomach for the U.S. to topple the regime in Tehran, a majority of all Americans and specifically Republicans said zero. Among all Americans, and among Republicans specifically, 51 percent of each group said they would tolerate no American casualties to achieve the mission. Among all Americans, an additional 5 percent said they would tolerate less than 10 American casualties and another 6 percent said they would tolerate less than 100 American fatalities.

I'm guessing the Federalist editor John Daniel Davidson is quite likely of the crowd that's strongly hinting they refuse to even so much as go to war themselves. Let's be clear. Of course it's always terrible when even a single innocent life has to die in battle. That's what happened over here in the past 2 and a half years since October 7, 2023. But if nobody's willing to make sacrifices for the sake of other less fortunate people, then how does anybody expect in the long run to prevent Islamofascists in Europe from gaining the ability to build additional nuclear arsenals over there? Something vice president J.D. Vance warned about as well a short time ago. Now, we have a most disturbing situation where it's the WW2 isolationist stance all over again. And that's going to be costly in the long run. Especially if the same crowds in America who don't want to go to war against tyranny also don't want to get adherents to Islam to stop practicing the religion.

This devastating mentality is also why the war against racism was lost in the 19th century, even after slavery was abolished by Lincoln. It's also why China was taken over by communism, leading to the dire situation they're in now, with a collapsing birthrate. Most disgusting thing about such commies is how in contrast to the Religion of Peace, they don't want many children, if at all. Now, almost a century after WW2, it's sad to discover we have another case of whole generations who don't want to show the courage it takes to make a difference, and it's not just leftists, but also rightists who're balking.

What makes this additionally sad is that the USA public, Republican or otherwise, are letting down even figures like Reza Pahlavi's family, whose daughter Noor wrote an article about how he hopes to restore a civilized leadership. And while of course nobody should have to rely solely on the USA for backing against evil entities, that doesn't mean anybody in America should act like it's literally wrong to aid the persecuted. What matters is whether they have what it takes to make clear anybody who's practicing Islam can't do so anymore, and not be embarrassed to make the vital point. The same goes for Communism.

Trump's been sending military forces to the area near Iran to practice for any possible attack on Iran's horrormeisters. It's to be hoped he doesn't let these pollings get in the way of better judgement if the soldiers who've deployed are themselves ready to enter battle. But somebody must make clear to the public that, if they're not willing to recognize that moral sacrifices have to be made when darkness is looming, how will anybody be able to defend the USA itself properly if, in the future, Islamists take over Europe and gain access to nuclear technology? And, do they take a naive view to the point they believe it's virtually impossible for jihadists to penetrate the USA's defenses in such a way? No doubt, many leftists do. But if rightists also buy into naive visions, then they too have failed from an altruistic standing, and nothing's going to be solved.

The point is: freedom isn't free. Will the conservative movement begin to understand that, and if they do, will it be too late?

Trump demands foreign countries stop with their efforts to stifle free speech

Donald Trump issued a serious warning to European countries trying to shut up their citizens for all the wrong reasons:

President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to other governments against undermining American tech companies’ ability to platform free speech and protect U.S. customers and sovereignty.

Late on Monday, Trump posted his hard-hitting caution on Truth Social against foreign legislation “designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology.” He clarified that he will be using tariffs to punish nations with governments that ignore his warning. [...]

Trump then made clear the penalty foreign nations would face if they continue pressuring American tech companies with fines if they fail to censor online speech. The president stated, “With this TRUTH, I put all Countries with Digital Taxes, Legislation, Rules, or Regulations, on notice that unless these discriminatory actions are removed, I, as President of the United States, will impose substantial additional Tariffs on that Country's Exports to the U.S.A., and institute Export restrictions on our Highly Protected Technology and Chips.”

This is definitely saying something. All foreign governments who're engaging in censorship of their citizenry must stop and withdraw all laws they're passing to that effect if they don't want Trump making it harder for them. And there's still much more that can be done.

Netanyahu says TikTok represents the worst in anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism

In an interview with Greta van Susteren, the Israeli prime mininster pointed out what's wrong with the Chinese-owned TikTok social media site:

Netanyahu said, “I wouldn’t go to MIT and I wouldn’t go to Harvard, although I attended summer school in Harvard and graduated both undergraduate and graduate studies at MIT, it’s a different place today. Why? Because there’s been a concerted effort to buy the faculty and to create positions that are poisonous, anti-American, antisemitic, anti-Israel. It’s a systemic infiltration of funds over the last 20 years, and it’s poisoned the minds of a generation of American students.”

He continued, “And the other reason is people watch TikTok and TikTok basically works on an algorithm that takes the worst anti-American and anti-Israeli propaganda. So, it’s turning the young kids in America against America, against American values. We’re going to promote socialism and Communism in America? That’s really going to give prosperity.”

It's also such a generation, as he notes, that has what to do with socialist Muslim Zohran Mamdani being nominated for candidate for NYC mayor. Parents who really care won't let their children go on such a repellent site.

Update: here's more about the topic:

Elias Rodriguez, a young man of Puerto Rican descent who murdered the couple in downtown Washington, is seen as a clear product of the rampant antisemitic incitement on social media. But it doesn't stop there. The hatred reverberates in mainstream media, is reinforced by pseudo-academic content, and bolstered by what appear to be factual UN reports.

Rodriguez is part of the "woke" or far-left fringe. He absorbed the conspiracies he saw and read, and translated them into bullets. He legally purchased the gun in Chicago. He found out about the American Jewish Committee's (AJC) event - "Young Diplomats" - online, and after it ended, he shot the couple.

There is no evidence that he was sent by any foreign state, though he has refused to cooperate with investigators. But it's important to note that bullets don't only come from the far-left. The deadliest antisemitic attack in the US in recent years, in which 11 Jews were murdered in 2018, was carried out by a neo-Nazi.

More recently, Tucker Carlson conducted a soft-ball interview with Iran's new president, Masoud Pezeshkian. It was akin to CBS giving a platform to Joseph Goebbels right after World War II.

That didn't happen then, but it is happening now. And it's only the beginning of what Israel and the Jewish people are facing. While Netanyahu paid tribute to the slain couple, loudspeakers were blaring antisemitic slogans just outside the embassy. The same slogans that dominate X, TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms, accusing Israel alone of genocide, running concentration camps, causing starvation, committing war crimes, and other modern blood libels.

Outside Sudan's embassy, just a 10-minute walk from Israel's, there are no such protests. In Sudan, millions have been displaced, starved, and tens of thousands killed in a senseless war. But since Jews aren't involved, it's of no interest. When Jews aren't part of the story, there's no outrage. The warring factions in Sudan can kill each other undisturbed. Neither global media nor social media influencers care.

More vital information and food for thought. It should also be noted that persecution of Armenians by the Religion of Peace also goes unopposed. How are we to change all that?

Canada's electorate screws up for the 4th time

Just months after the conservative party of Pierre Poiliviere was leading, the liberal party of the now departed Justin Trudeau regained the edge and was elected again a 4th time with Mark Carney at the helm. And all because of a joke Donald Trump made?

I mean, did Canadians vote for communists just to “punish Trump” because he joke about annexing your country? What you Canadians don’t realize is that Carney will be easier to roll over for Trump, just like Trudeau was..Pierre Poilievre might have been able to get something done with the tariffs ya’ll are so bitter about.. Now you’re screwed..

If that was the reason much of the Canadian public voted for Carney as premier, it sure is bewildering why they'd let something so petty get the better of them. Now, they could be facing much worse effects of Islamization, and as noted here:

Carney is also a committed globalist, couching his socialist internationalism in fantasies about Canada replacing the United States as the leader of the free world, or what used to be known as the free world. “Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of like-minded countries who share our values,” he declared several weeks ago. “We believe in international cooperation. We believe in the free and open exchange of goods, services and ideas. And if the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will.”

That means open borders, more mass migration into Canada, and more outsourcing of Canadian industries to other countries. Yet many Canadians, with their Pravda-like media (aside from Ezra Levant’s brave and truth-telling Rebel Media), will likely be lulled right back to sleep. They haven’t been told the full implications and logical outcome of what Carney stands for, and they have no idea what’s coming.

Indeed no. I'd read the reports on how the Religion of Peace is growing very quickly in the great white north, and now, thanks to this bizarre lurch back to a socialist situation, it's bound to get worse. It sure will be absurd if the Religion of Peace is the only ideology for which they'll be willing to abandon the LGBT ideology that's become a sad problem in Canada as much as the USA and elsewhere over the past decade or so. Socialist structures are something Islam has taken serious advantage of over time, and now, Canada could be the next victim of the same. And this time it may have been all because the electorate took offense at a petty joke Trump made? Considering his platform was meant to emphasize values you'd think they appreciate, it only makes this whole situation that much more bizarre.

Volkswagen selling out to China

It looks like the German automaker that was founded by Nazi supporters in the early 20th century is selling out to China, now that their businesses are slumping:

German automakers are looking to the sky right now. But it's not drones over New Jersey that the Deutsch are worried about, it's Chinese electric vehicle makers circling over their European plants like vultures, ready to sink their teeth into idled plants while the machinery is still warm.

See, China's automakers are in a frenzy to expand right now. With fears that external growth could be extremely limited over the second half of the decade due to tariffs, OEMs are exploring what it would take to set up shop abroad. And what better way to do that than pick up shop and drop into an already purpose-built factory, especially when it's from an automaker that's in trouble and needs to offload some assets?

One company in China's crosshairs is Volkswagen. The people's car company is having a bit of a cost crisis right now. And as part of a larger corporate cost restructuring—or, as CEO Thomas Schafer calls it, the company's "new realities"—VW announced that they would shutter “at least three" factories in Germany late last year. After pressure from labor unions, VW backed down on the outright closing of plants. Instead, the agreement reached just before Christmas was to idle only two plants through 2027 and instead seek alternative use for the selected factories in Dresden (where the ID 3 is built) and Osnabrueck (home of the T-Roc Cabrio). More than 2,500 workers are expected to be impacted.

Yet these same labor unions reportedly have nothing against producing cars for a joint venture with China. That too is saying quite a bit about where this could end up going. Well I'm not sorry VW's fortunes are dwindling, but that still doesn't make this alliance acceptable. Maybe it's just one more reason why anybody who's bought VW cars and trucks before should stop doing so now.

TikTok accused of encouraging teens to commit suicide

Some families in France have sued the Chinese-owned social media site for causing teens to commit suicide:

In the moment when her world shattered three years ago, Stephanie Mistre found her 15-year-old daughter, Marie, lifeless in the bedroom where she died by suicide.

“I went from light to darkness in a fraction of a second,” Mistre said, describing the day in September 2021 that marked the start of her fight against TikTok, the Chinese-owned video app she blames for pushing her daughter toward despair.

[...] Delving into her daughter’s phone after her death, Mistre discovered videos promoting suicide methods, tutorials and comments encouraging users to go beyond “mere suicide attempts.” She said TikTok’s algorithm had repeatedly pushed such content to her daughter.

“It was brainwashing,” said Mistre, who lives in Cassis, near Marseille, in the south of France. “They normalized depression and self-harm, turning it into a twisted sense of belonging.”

Now Mistre and six other families are suing TikTok France, accusing the platform of failing to moderate harmful content and exposing children to life-threatening material. Out of the seven families, two experienced the loss of a child.

There's no telling if the commies who own TikTok will sell off the company at all, and for now, the news told is abominable indeed. Nobody should let their children waste time on such an awful site as TikTok tragically is.

Muslim gulf states buy real estate near the District of Columbia

While most conservatives' attention may have been focused upon China's buying of real estate in the USA, it would seem little attention's been given to how Islamic countries like Qatar and the UAE have been doing the same:

Arab Gulf states have quietly and sometimes secretly purchased at least $282 million worth of real estate in Washington’s most elite neighborhood.

Situated high atop the banks of the Potomac River and overlooking the nation’s capital, Virginia’s “Gold Coast” has long been the home of America’s ruling class. Today, it’s home to a number of high-profile Washingtonians, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, whose home on Arlington’s tony Chain Bridge Road has been swarmed by an encampment of anti-Israel protesters since Hamas’s October 7th invasion of Israel.

But since 2019, a mysterious entity called 600 CBR LLC has been buying up property in the area, building up a compound that sold for three times as much as Jeff Bezos’ $23 million D.C. mansion. Though the buyers behind 600 CBR are unknown, the real estate blog UrbanTurf reported in 2022 that “the buyer is from the United Arab Emirates and that settlement documents confirm this.”

The embassy of the United Arab Emirates owns extensive property just down the block from the 600 CBR compound, and the compound’s primary residence is directly across the street from Blinken’s $5 million home. Since October 7th, anti-Israel protesters have been living in the narrow strip between the road and the LLC’s property, with their tents, signs, and buckets of fake blood just inches from its fence.

It is unclear whether the various Arab nations who own the properties are involved in the protests outside Blinken’s home, which The Daily Wire reported likely violate several state and local laws. The UAE embassy did not answer questions from The Daily Wire about whether UAE royals are behind the purchase, nor their stance on the protest outside Blinken’s home.

[...] The Embassy of the State of Qatar’s nearby compound is assessed to be worth $20 million. The oil-rich nation has just 300,000 citizens—half the size of the District of Columbia—but recently counted 2 million residents. The vast majority of its residents are foreign laborers working in conditions sometimes described as “modern slavery.”

Qatar has been in the international spotlight since Hamas’s invasion of Israel. The terrorist group’s leaders operate out of Qatar, and the nation’s representative to the Arab parliament said “There can be no peace or negotiations with the Zionist entity.” Qatar has also enmeshed itself into D.C.’s culture by becoming part-owner of the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards.

This news certainly does make clear the whole notion the UAE and Saudi Arabia have improved, morally or otherwise, is still far from being so. The question now is whether anything can be done to reverse the situation. This is disturbing and can't be taken lightly. Even in Europe, there's only so much of this that can't be overlooked.

Well that's surely something to ponder

One of the Federalist contributors, Joy Pullman, had something interesting to say involving a certain president from not very long ago during a video interview on subject of the transsexual ideology cult:

“The roots of [transgenderism] go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson and [Franklin D. Roosevelt] and including Ronald Reagan. His federal government and bureaucracy oversaw the deepening of federal racial and sexual quotas through laws that had been put in place under Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter,” Federalist Executive Editor Joy Pullmann said during an interview with Daniel Horowitz. “Feminism … does the same thing as transgenderism in basically pushing each sex to adopt the behaviors, the attitudes, the life-circuit of the other sex.”

Now it may not be surprising FDR could've sown the seeds, nor Carter, for example. But that Reagan could've had anything to do with this modern tragedy is as disturbing as it's eyebrow raising. It should be noted that back in 1983, Reagan withdrew all USA military from Lebanon following the tragic terrorist bombing that murdered 241 servicemen, and even 58 French officials. In other words, Reagan failed the troops and never avenged them. Is that setting a good example? Regrettably, Foreign Policy's writer seemed to think so.

And while Reagan may have brought down the original USSR, he failed to apply the same standards to China as he did to Russia. There's probably at least a few more unfortunate errors Reagan made in his time that're just as troubling. And this all has to make clear that, despite what some people might want us to think, Reagan sadly wasn't as effective a leader as we wish he could be. I wouldn't be surprised if there's Chinese dissidents and Lebanese Maronites who think that. Now, in addition to such history, we also sadly have to learn Reagan, even unwittingly, may have sown the seeds during his administration for the LGBT tragedy we're seeing unfold in this day and age.

Biden insults Japan and India

Fraud-in-chief Joe Biden attacked countries like Japan and India for not letting in virtually every foreigner no matter their background, in another example of how Biden's not concerned with all the Islamic infiltration that's destroying much of the world:

Joe Biden has claimed Asian allies Japan and India’s “xenophobic” policies towards immigrants were causing their economies to stall.

“One of the reasons why our economy’s growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants,” Mr Biden said at a Washington fundraising event for his 2024 re-election campaign.

"Why is China stalling so badly economically, why is Japan having trouble, why is Russia, why is India, because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants. Immigrants are what makes us strong," he said, kickstarting the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month on Wednesday.

This sure isn't likely to mend failing relations with Japan and India, and it's shameful and disgusting how he lumps them in with communist-led countries like Russia and China. The part about allegedly failing economies is also questionable, and as explained here:

Our GDP growth is 1.9%. Japan is at 1.0%. India’s is 7.2%. China’s is 3.0%.

I wouldn’t brag about being ahead of Japan considering that we’re neck and neck with Burkina Faso and South Africa and lagging much of the world.

Opening up your borders to every invader who wants to cash in on your welfare state is not a plan for economic growth. As the mayors of NYC, Denver, and Chicago have been explaining to Open Borders Joe.

India is a net exporter of immigrants to this country so arguing that it needs immigrants is a confusing thesis. All of the above countries do have declining birth rates and that is bad news, but the solution to that is raising birth rates, not bringing in millions of illegal aliens to loot your cities, as Biden has done.

One could also point out that better education is in sore need everywhere, and that too is something many PC advocates don't seem to have what it takes to raise in discussions.

Biden's statements about Japan and India are offensive and degrading, completely inconsiderate of the need for security, and let's hope their publics will be disappointed with the Democrats for all of this.

Update: both Japan and India responded in dismay to what Biden said.

Biden pulls USA military out of Niger

Joe Biden's pseudo-government continues to enable the collapse of safety in key areas around the globe by withdrawing military from Niger, and allowing Russia and China to maintain a foothold along with jihadists:

President Joe Biden suffered humiliation on the global stage again this week as the U.S. is reportedly set to give up its bases in Niger and evacuate the thousand American troops deployed there.

The move upends U.S. counterterrorism efforts and security policy in the politically unstable Sahel region of Africa, which stretches across the northern central part of the continent and includes Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Sudan, and Eritrea.

The region is one of the most dangerous in the world and is a hotbed for multiple major Islamic terrorist groups, including ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and many more.

The New York Times reported that the Biden administration is pulling the troops out in the coming weeks after the country’s democratically elected government was overthrown by its own weak military.

This is exactly why African nations with common sense can't rely upon the USA anymore, and will have to learn to how to defend themselves. The same goes for Europe.

Israeli delegation cancels trip to Washington DC over Biden government's refusal to veto UN call for ceasefire that doesn't demand release of hostages

Fraud-in-chief Joe Biden's staff at the UN refused to oppose a call for a ceasefire that didn't include a call for releasing Israeli hostages of Hamas. As a result, the Israeli government canceled a planned trip to the District of Columbia to discuss warring in Rafah:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday canceled a planned trip to Washington by his top aides to discuss plans for an offensive in the Gaza city of Rafah, taking the step after the United States refrained from using a veto to block a United Nations Security Council resolution, backed by Russia and China, that called for a ceasefire without conditioning it on the release of hostages.

In a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Israel said the US decision was harming the war effort against Hamas and undermining attempts to free hostages.

The statement called the decision “a clear retreat from the consistent US position in the Security Council since the beginning of the war,” and one that “gives Hamas hope that international pressure will allow them to get a ceasefire without releasing our hostages.”

What the USA did is disgraceful, but likely hasn't shocked everyone. Nor will it shock everyone that the goal of the Hamas is to end the war without releasing hostages:

Israel Hayom has reported that the Hamas terror group ultimately is aiming to force Israel to end the war without receiving anything - not even the hostages - in return. [...]

Israel Hayom reported that afterwards, senior Hamas terrorist Mohammad Nazzal, who is in Turkey, was less official and revealed the terror group's true hopes: "The Security Council resolution is an important step. It will isolate the State of Israel even more. The US' abstention from vetoing the resolution is a clear message from Washington to the Netanyahu government. Biden must atone for his support of the aggression in Gaza, and force Netanyahu to end the war."

This is what makes the USA delegation's refusal to back Israel all the more offensive, especially to the hostages. And it's going to make things much worse.

Update: Texas Republican Chip Roy condemned Biden's staff for the betrayal.

USA military no longer has presence in Niger

Andrea Widburg points to the latest chilling situation on the globe, where the USA military has been banished from Niger, a country overrun with Islam:

Nobody in America thinks about Niger in Africa, but Niger matters in the war against radical Islam and in the world’s balance of power. Now, though, we must think about Niger because it appears that Biden’s foreign policy incompetence, combined with America’s general weakness, has led to the new military junta kicking America out of a forward base that allowed it to attack radical Islam in the region and a country that’s one of the world’s biggest uranium suppliers.

Because Niger isn’t on anyone’s radar, here’s a bit of background:

Niger, a former French colony, is a landlocked nation in northwestern Africa. It’s home to multiple ethnic groups, but they’re bound together by one thing: Islam, which accounts for over 99% of the population. Despite being one of the world’s poorest countries, it’s also home to some of the world’s largest uranium deposits, making it a very important country.

It’s not just uranium that makes Niger an important country. For a long time, Niger has cooperated with the American military, allowing it to have outposts there. These outposts enabled the U.S. to keep an eye on and attack violent Islamist groups in North Africa. They also served as a counterbalance to Russia, which is desperate to gain influence there (as, seemingly, is China).

As with almost all African countries, Niger has had an endless modern history of tyranny and poverty. The latest tyranny cycle occurred last July when a military junta overthrew a democratically elected president (and I’m sure that election was as honest as 2020’s in America). The current leader is Abdourahamane Tchiani (aka Omar Tchiani), who supported the losing president in that election.

According to an analysis shortly after the coup, it’s probable that the State Department’s inattention and the Biden administration’s ineptitude contributed to the coup’s success. Given the many coups sweeping the region, it wasn’t hard to guess that more were in the works. An administration with its eye on the ball wouldn’t have been as surprised as Biden and his team were. The same essay has a long list of flabby Africa policies in the White House that kept it from knowing what was happening and responding appropriately.

So there we have yet another sad situation, where the Religion of Peace is dominant in a foreign country, and nothing was ever done to get the residents to abandon adherence to Islam. And that failure will end up becoming very costly in the long run.

China's just as absurdly naive about Islam as many western countries are

Robert Spencer addresses news that China's communists want to "Sinicize" the Religion of Peace, which doesn't sound all that different from what some European countries seem to believe they could do:

As the Chinese Communist Party is a totalitarian entity, it views any other authority or object of loyalty as a competitor that must be destroyed. That’s why the Chinese government has cracked down so brutally upon the Uighur Muslims, and now a leading ChiCom official has announced the end goal of that persecution: the “Sinicization” of Islam. The U.S., and the West in general, can learn a great deal from what the Chinese are doing: it’s a grand lesson in what not to do.

[...] Sinicization, in the case of Christianity, has involved rewriting parts of the Bible to remove or alter passages that might inspire readers to think critically about Communism, forcing Christians to celebrate as heroes Communists who betrayed the Church, and requiring Christian teachers to attend Communist indoctrination sessions.

Will similar measures, applied to Islam, defang the Religion of Peace and end the possibility of jihad terror in China? That’s what Chinese Communist leaders are banking on. But they’re being short-sighted.

What is likely to happen in China, given the lessons of history, is that the “Sinicization” of Islam will proceed, and initially it will appear to be a comprehensive success. Muslims in China will appear to be practicing an Islam with Chinese characteristics, and to have assimilated completely into Communist Chinese society.

The Communist victory celebrations, however, will be premature. When the Communist Party begins to weaken, suddenly and unexpectedly, traditional Islam will begin to reemerge. Eventually, the Chinese Communists will discover that despite all their efforts, Islam has not become “Sinicized” at all, but is still pretty much what it has always been.

[...] Even as late as the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Western “experts” were confidently predicting that Islamic societies would secularize and Westernize after the pattern of secular Turkey. Since then, however, everything has gone awry for the “experts,” although they still enjoy their tenured professorships and media adulation despite having been proven wrong about everything.

Turkey has re-Islamized, and Western influences have receded drastically in Islamic societies. Where Nasser joked about the impossibility of getting Egyptian women to wear hijab, now virtually all women wear the hijab.

So this is basically no different from what western "specialists" tried to do, and look how it turned out. China will only doom everything and everyone further with this kind of near-sightedness. All that aside, one can only wonder what plans they have in store for Kaifeng community members, and if they'll force them to rewrite the Judaist bible/Torah so they won't think critically of communism either. What's really sad is how PC has led to situations where nobody wants to encourage Islamic adherents to leave the Religion of Peace and try out other, more civilized religions instead. Maybe in the west, the problem is that antisemites can't bring themselves to encourage converting to Judaism instead, or even Hinduism/Buddhism/Shintoism. As a result, is it any wonder the failure to combat Islam's evils has been so enormous?

Russia's neo-communists give their backing to Hamas

There's only so much corrupt politicians around the world who're working to get a palestinian state recognized, Hamas included, at Israel's expense. One of the countries whose overlords are the worst offenders in this sense is Russia under Vladimir Putin:

Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PLO’s Palestinian Authority and the other Islamic terrorist groups who make up the official “Palestinian” leadership have been invited for unity talks in Moscow.

The terrorist unity talks scheduled by the Putin regime for the end of February are a homecoming for a “Palestinian” movement invented by Soviet propagandists. Mahmoud Abbas, the long-serving dictator of the PA, wrote his Holocaust denial thesis while studying at Moscow’s Patrice Lumumba University which had trained a generation of third world terrorists.

The invitation to Moscow comes from Putin’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov. Materials from a KGB defector revealed that Abbas had worked for the KGB under Bogdanov. Back then Abbas had the KGB codename “mole”, these days, his code name is “president”.

Some of the same ex-Soviet operatives who helped set up and fund the PLO, the PFLP and the rest of the “Palestinian” movement are now trying to unite them all under one single banner.

This makes clear that communists today are as evil as they were decades before, if Putin and company want to associate with monsters who're just as dangerous to Russians as they are to Israelis.

Making matters worse is how the New York Times continues employment of an alleged "journalist" who participated in the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023:

The New York Times proudly announced last Monday that it had “won three George Polk awards, including two for its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.” Those prestigious journalism awards went to “Samar Abu Elouf and Yousef Masoud of The Times” for “photojournalism for their photographs of the conflict from inside Gaza, capturing the horrific toll of Israel’s airstrikes on civilians, including the death and injury of many children.” The Times neglected to mention, however, one telling detail: Masoud has been unmasked as a member of Hamas who participated in the Oct. 7 jihad massacres inside Israel.

The Paper of Record shows no sign of firing Masoud or returning the George Polk award he won, but the Jerusalem Post had the story on Thursday, noting that the media watchdog Honest Reporting had “highlighted his accreditation to a photo provided to the Associated Press, with the caption, ‘Palestinians wave their national flag and celebrate by a destroyed Israeli tank at the Gaza Strip fence east of Khan Younis southern Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023.’ How had Masoud gotten on the scene so quickly, so as to be in a position to take this picture? Honest Reporting “questioned Masoud’s explanation of his presence that he’d been woken up at 5.30 a.m. by rocket fire even though the firing only started an hour later.”

What’s more, “Masoud’s name was included in an investigative report from November showing that journalists from leading news outlets, including The New York Times, AP, Reuters, and CNN, joined Hamas terrorists from the Gaza Strip on October 7 to document the events with their cameras.” The New York Times responded indignantly: “The accusation that anyone at The New York Times had advance knowledge of the Hamas attacks or accompanied Hamas terrorists during the attacks is untrue and outrageous. It is reckless to make such allegations, putting our journalists on the ground in Israel and Gaza at risk.”

Honest Reporting, however, said that claims it had “jeopardized the safety of all media working in Israel and the Palestinian territories” were nothing more than “a deliberate attempt to deflect from the real issues we raised.” And that’s true. Why doesn’t Masoud explain how he came to be on the scene of a Hamas operation on the morning of Oct. 7, and why he stated that he was awakened by rocket fire an hour before the rocket fire started?

I just don't understand why some people won't boycott the NYT and save money for a change. The whole paper is repellent and shouldn't be given any financial backing, based on the evils they've enabled.

Anti-Israeli group leader in NYC refuses to apologize for his repulsive behavior

Word comes of a nasty activist in NYC who's unrepentant for his anti-Israeli vulgarity:

The leader of one of the organizations behind the recent anti-Israel demonstrations in New York City doubled down on his call to "destroy" the State of Israel and "erase" the Jewish State "from history."

On Monday, a video of The People’s Forum (TPF) executive director Manolo De Los Santos speaking at an event in New York went viral due to De Los Santos' extreme and eliminationist rhetoric.

“When we finally deal that final blow to destroy Israel, when the state of Israel is finally destroyed and erased from history, that will be the single most important blow we can give to destroying capitalism and imperialism in our lifetime," De Los Santos said.

In response to this speech, Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY) wrote a letter to Goldman Sachs, which has signed checks for $20 million dollars to TPF, calling on the organization to cut ties with De Los Santos and TPF, the New York Post reported.

“Thousands of Israelis were massacred, maimed, mutilated, abducted, raped, and tortured at the murderous hands of Hamas,” Torres wrote, referring to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Torres noted that Hamas "espouses the kind of genocidal ideology that The People’s Forum has been caught promoting as ‘the final blow,’ which is strikingly similar to Nazi rhetoric about a ‘final solution.'"

"The case for cutting ties speaks for itself,” he said.

On Thursday, De Los Santos refused to apologize and doubled down on his call to destroy the entire State of Israel.

"We make no apologies for calling for the destruction of an apartheid and colonial state that is actively engaging in a genocide of the Palestinian people that has already killed over 25,000," he said.

"For us, Zionism is synonymous with colonialism and racism,” he added. “These are forces with state power who are actually perpetrating a literal genocide and engaging in actual genocide denialism."

De Los Santos and TPS have ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

This continues to be telling about modern communists in China too. A most repuslive individual indeed, this De Los Santos is. He even goes so far as to denigrate infants who fell victim to Hamas, like Kfir Bibas. Also disgusting, however, is that no legal steps are taken to prevent what can easily be considered incitement to violence. That's what TPS is doing, and New York's clearly failing to do anything about them. The same goes for many other areas in the USA, no matter their political standings. Seriously, it's hugely disappointing how the USA's legal system hasn't made any proper effort to prevent inciteful rhetoric like what's in focus here.

Update: since we're on the subject, former Miss World Linor Abargil spoke at Davos:

"On Oct. 7, we witnessed the most horrible massacres, atrocities, rape, mutilation – the worst human behavior," Abargil said at an event organized as part of the World Economic Forum in Davos. "I turned to all my colleagues and friends worldwide as well to the leading women's rights organization to expose this terrible event, certain that they will speak out and condemn this unspeakable event. And what did I discover? That there is a discriminatory approach and violence against one woman doesn't equal to violence [toward] another."

"Their silence, apathy, and Hebrew nation shocked me to the core. They even had that docility, to ask for evidence when it was all there to see. There is no need for more proof, it's all out there to see." [...]

"Hamas established a new evil strategy: openly abusing mostly the female hostages, and also men, deleting them not in secret and not in the dark. Everything was filmed. Anyone who doesn't speak up against this is silently complicit in sexual violence against all women, not just Israeli women.

I do have to wonder if she was ever invited to speak at conferences about Islamic violence, sexual or otherwise, or if she even asked to. After all, this has been going on Europe too, and even north America, for decades already. And she didn't notice? That's why she shouldn't be shocked at what's happening now.

Biden betrays Taiwan

Fraud-in-chief Joe Biden couldn't bring himself to support Taiwan following their brave election of a pro-independence candidate:

On Saturday morning, Biden shuffled into a media scrum on the South Lawn to offer a few remarks before heading to Camp David for a weekend vacation after his Carribean vacation.

8,000 miles away voters in the Republic of China, also known as Taiwan, had just elected President ‘William’ Lai who had promised to preserve the nation’s independence from its greedy Communist superpower neighbor.

“Mr. President, do you have a reaction to the Taiwan election?” a reporter asked.

“We do not support independence,” Biden mumbled.

He did not congratulate Taiwan’s new president-elect because that would offend China.

In December, Chinese Communist dictator Xi Jinping told Biden at a San Francisco summit that the ChiComs were preparing to take Taiwan, but did not have an exact timetable yet. During the summit, China demanded that Biden issue a statement in favor of “peaceful reunification” and against the continuation of Taiwanese independence from the Communist dictatorship.

Biden has given Xi half of what he wanted. The other half is being decided behind the scenes.

Taiwan is waiting on a backlog of $19 billion in weapons from sales mostly made during the Trump administration. Those weapons can make the difference between a Chinese invasion and peace. But the Biden administration has continued delaying the delivery of those weapons.

Also disgraceful is how Biden had no complaints about China's autocrat telling him at a public conference what his horrific plans were for Taiwan, specifically, invading the island country as though it's literally acceptable to invade a civilized land and populace. China's communism is exactly why they didn't deserve to get Hong Kong back in the mid-90s. Now, we've got a very bad situation on hand that's bound to turn into a disaster.

Notorious social media site refused ads about Israeli hostages of Hamas

Guess which social network refused to carry ads about the Israeli hostages of Hamas?

A few weeks after thousands of Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel on October 7, murdering 1,200 people and brutally kidnapping some 240 individuals, including more than 30 children, the devastated families of those held hostage in the Gaza Strip launched a global campaign demanding their release.

With assistance from marketing and advertising professionals, the newly created Hostages and Missing Persons Forum in Israel turned to powerful social media platforms used by billions of people worldwide and asked to place paid advertisements to raise awareness of their plight.

Mostly short video clips depicting the lives of ordinary civilians and children held captive by a U.S.-designated terror organization, multiple ads were placed on Meta platforms Facebook and Instagram, but the Chinese-owned video-sharing app, TikTok, refused to accept any of them, deeming them “too political.”

This is far from shocking at this point. (Hat tip: Breitbart.) And it confirms in addition that they never intended to respect the requests of delegates like Amy Schumer, who requested they stop allowing antisemitic slogans onto their servers.

So on the one hand, TikTok allows antisemitism and other horrific ideologies like LGBT advocacy on their site, yet on the other hand, won't allow advertisements vital for combating Islamic terrorism. This is very telling. How much longer are parents going to allow their children to make use of such a repulsive site?

2 very fortunate elections in south America and Europe

Some good news comes from Argentina, where a more conservative-leaning politician, Javier Milei, has been elected president, and, he'll even move the Argentinian embassy to Jerusalem:

Argentina’s libertarian President-elect Javier Milei confirmed on Monday that he would make visits to both Israel and the United States before his inauguration on December 10, trips he described as “spiritual” and intended to meet with rabbis whom he had consulted during the election.

Milei won the presidency in a landslide on Sunday night, defeating the current Minister of Economics Sergio Massa, a socialist. Massa’s tenure has been defined by inflation of upwards of 140 percent, skyrocketing poverty and joblessness levels, and the worst economic crisis in the nation’s history. Milei, a self-described libertarian, has promised to install the U.S. dollar as an official currency, dramatically cut government spending through the elimination or privatization of agencies, and eliminate the Argentine Central Bank.

On foreign policy, Milei promised to abandon the pro-Iran, pro-China policies of incumbent President Alberto Fernández and the long line of socialist Peronists who preceded him and has repeatedly stated that Argentina’s top allies under his administration will be Israel and the United States. Milei reportedly began studying the Torah and considered converting to Judaism from Catholicism in 2021, and has maintained regular studies with multiple rabbis.

Indeed, what makes this a most interesting election is that Milei's met with some Judaist representatives, and as noted, considered conversion too. And, what if he does? I just hope it's not the ultra-Orthodox edition he considers, honestly. But, if he's willing to convert, that could signify a very positive direction in the future for the Latin world.

In the second round of good news, Geert Wilders' political party has won the most seats at the Dutch parliament:

A wave of anti-mass migration sentiment across Europe has seen staunch Islam critic Geert Wilders pull a massive upset in the Netherlands, as exit polls from research agency Ipsos predict that his Party for Freedom (PVV) will become the largest party in the House of Representatives with an estimated 35 seats, public broadcaster NOS reports.

Performing in a way that many would have considered unthinkable just a week ago, the populist party is now projected to have more than doubled its representation over the previous election in 2021 when the PVV only managed to secure 17 seats in the House.

The PVV was followed by the leftist-green coalition GL-PvdA of Great Reset proponent Frans Timmermans at 26 seats, the centre-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) at 23 seats, and the centrist New Social Contract (NSC) at 20.

The exit polls then projected the socially liberal Democrats 66 as having picked up 10 seats, falling from 24 in the previous election and seven seats for the upstart Farmer Citizen Movement (BBB) after previously only holding one seat in the chamber.

Hailing the apparent victory, Geert Wilders shared a video on social media of himself celebrating the results while proclaiming that his party was now the strongest force in the country.

Finally, Wilders for one seems to have achieved a position he's qualified for, though it still remains to be seen if he'll follow through convincingly on fighting against Islamofascism in the Netherlands, and elsewhere around Europe. For now, this does send a vital message what the European public thinks about Islam invading the continent.

Will they or won't they?

It's been reported that several Jewish entertainment performers have met with TikTok management, trying to get them to put a stop to antisemitism on their platforms:

The New York Times reports that Adam Presser, TikTok’s head of operations, and Seth Melnick, the company’s global head of user operations convened a meeting with more than thirty major Jewish social media influencers to urge the company to combat antisemitism on its platform.

The meeting included big names including Sacha Baron Cohen, Debra Messing, and Amy Schumer.

British Jewish actor Sacha Baron Cohen denounced TikTok for allowing antisemitism on the platform and demanded that it come to an immediate halt, calling it 'the greatest tool of antisemitism since the Nazis.' Baron Cohen also warned that indoctrination starts young - a fact particularly relevant to TikTok, which multiple studies have found to be the most popular platform for children. “If you think back to October 7, the reason why Hamas were able to behead young people and rape women was they were fed images from when they were small kids that led them to hate,” Cohen said.

Melnik and Presser claimed that the process would not be as simple as Baron Cohen insinuated, but urged TikTok to stop the use of the phrase, “From the river to the sea,” which has long been associated with calls to destroy Israel. Executives pushed back, saying that the phrase was open to interpretation. Many of those participating injected to the idea that the phrase could be used "casually," and Messing urged the executives to reconsider.

I think any balking on the part of the executives is like a tacit admittal they don't want to cooperate. And that's why they don't deserve usage of their platform, yet tragically, no telling if any parents will prevent their children from using it. Parenthood, as we know it, is one of the biggest casualties of today's world. The subject has also been addressed by Wisconsin Republican Mike Gallagher, who said:

Young TikTokers promoting terror leader Osama bin Laden and his propaganda are “massive idiots,” according to Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) who slammed their “absolutely disgusting” justification of the September 11 attacks and called for a ban on the Chinese-owned and influenced app before the Chinese Communist Party “checkmates the free world by controlling the dominant media platform in America and spreading this dangerous, disgusting nonsense.”

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Gallagher, who serves as chair of the Select Committee on China, addressed the recent phenomenon of young Americans going viral on TikTok sympathizing with Osama bin Laden and recirculating his 2002 letter in which the terrorist leader attempts to justify the mass murder of Americans on September 11, 2001.

Bin Laden was the mastermind of those attacks which took place 22 years ago and saw Islamic terrorists crash passenger jets into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon — with an additional plane crashing in rural Pennsylvania following a passenger revolt — killing nearly 3,000 Americans.

“Well, these people are, of course, massive idiots,” Gallagher said of the young TikTokers expressing support and sympathy for the slain terror leader.

Describing the “true face of evil” of Islamic terror, he slammed the “absolutely disgusting” justification of it.

“I just came from watching the footage that the Israeli embassy compiled about the October 7th attack. It is horrific,” he said. “You are seeing Hamas kill infants and behead innocent civilians with garden hoes. These images are disturbing and show the true face of evil.”

“So for someone on TikTok to suggest that this is America’s fault, or that bin Laden — who killed thousands of innocent Americans — was right, is absolutely disgusting,” he added.

According to Gallagher, the phenomenon is “further evidence that we have to ban TikTok or force a sale before the Chinese Communist Party checkmates the free world by controlling the dominant media platform in America and spreading this dangerous, disgusting nonsense.”

Following this scandal, TikTok management actually said they were removing videos condoning bin Laden. Yet even then, there's still only so much more repulsive stuff on their site that they likely haven't taken down yet. For now, this all serves as a sad reminder of how desensitization to violence in the USA and elsewhere has resulted in whole generations openly voicing acceptance of savagery against innocent people, including and not limited to Jews.

Even on the right, as Robert Spencer reminds, there's very bad actors at work who've tried to form alliances with the Religion of Peace, because of its alleged opposition to LGBT ideology:

The left, of course, has loved Islam for many years now. Even before 9/11, Islamic groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) adopted the left’s tactic of charging that all critics of Islam, including even foes of jihad terror who were simply exposing the motives and goals of the terrorists, with “racism” and “bigotry.” Muslims, CAIR and its allies contended, were an oppressed class, victimized for being “brown,” despite the fact that there are Muslims, and Islamic jihadis, of all races. A new sin, “Islamophobia,” was invented to intimidate people into thinking it was somehow wrong to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women.

The left embraced this wholeheartedly, leading to a lasting alliance that has given us the winsome and patriotic Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah), and a society-wide fear of the personal and professional ruin that can come from being accused of “Islamophobia.” This alliance is showing some signs of strain lately over the left’s obsession with normalizing insanity, sexual deviance, and perversity, but the Oct. 7 attack showed that the bond between the left and Islam is still strong. Leftists eagerly purvey Hamas’ propaganda about how many civilian casualties have resulted from Israel’s defensive action in Gaza, and Israel is drawing increasing fire from leftist leaders including Canada’s Justin Trudeau and France’s Emmanuel Macron

The strains in the leftist/Islamic alliance, meanwhile, have awakened a new love for Islam on the right. Many social conservatives have noted that Muslims are among the only groups in the U.S. standing up against the delusion that a man can become a woman and vice versa, and that those who wish to do so are of perfectly sound mind. Muslims are also among the few who are resisting the left’s insistence on placing pornography in primary schools. This has led some patriots to imagine that a new alliance can be formed between pious Muslims and social conservatives; this is, in fact, not a new idea on the right, but one that no less a luminary than Dinesh D’Souza advocated as far back as 2007.

The fallacy of this kind of thinking, however, is that even if Muslims are willing to make common cause with non-Muslim social conservatives, this will not lead them to abandon the tenets of their faith that call for them to make war against and subjugate unbelievers. The shared distaste for the left’s perversions and delusions cannot be and will not become the basis for a new accord that will allow Muslims and non-Muslims to live together in peace. The Islamic imperative to “fight them until persecution is no more and religion is all for Allah” (Qur’an 8:39) will remain.

Antisemites on the left and the right, meanwhile, have always loved Islam for its deep-rooted hostility to the Jews. The Qur’an even projects that hostility upon its target: “You will find the Jews and the idolaters the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe.” (Qur’an 5:82) We saw this most recently, and most revoltingly, demonstrated in the TikTok craze for Osama bin Laden’s 2002 letter to America, which excoriates the Jews for supposedly oppressing the Palestinians, and declares: “The first thing we are calling you to is Islam.” Nick Fuentes and others who have hijacked the “America First” slogan to contextualize and justify their Jew-hatred and Israel-hatred love Islam for being so tremendously negative toward the group for which they blame virtually everything. Marxist professors who have always hated Israel for being a standing rebuke to the left’s collectivism and destruction of individual cultures (and of individuality itself) love Islam for lending itself quite well to collectivism and hating Jews just as much as they do.

This, of course, was why Michelle Malkin's career collapsed in the past 4 years or so. One can only wonder what she really thinks of the Religion of Peace if she's going to associate with somebody like Fuentes. It's worth noting that Islam is ostensibly against drinking alcohol, but all that symbolizes is a form of moral hypocrisy, when you consider all the physical/sexual abuse incorporated in the koran.

Those on the right who truly care, must of course, do everything to keep people like Fuentes a safe distance away from all sensible people. And, lest we forget, all concerned parents cannot allow their children to waste time on TikTok, and must not allow their children to attend school classes run by far-left ideologues either. There's been only so much damage caused by complacency and lack of vigilance, and now we're long seeing the tragic results.
