Ofir Winter is a left-wing plant

Mark Levin's got something to say about fishy election candidate Ofir Winter, who, despite his supposedly being a right-wing candidate, is only giving signs he may actually be a left-wing plant:

American conservative commentator Mark Levin attacked Amcha Yisrael Chairman Ofir Winter after the latter refused to withdraw the race for the Knesset, despite pressure from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of the current coalition.

Sharing a post on X that claimed that Winter boycotted the other members of the right-wing camp, Levin, a close friend of Prime Minister Netanyahu, wrote: "This saboteur Winter looks like a plant by the left wing. Or he’s the biggest dumb*** of all time." [...]

The criticism comes amid mounting pressure on Winter to withdraw from next week's Knesset elections over concerns that his party will fail to cross the electoral threshold, potentially costing the right-wing bloc enough votes to prevent it from forming the next government.

The pressure intensified following Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz's decision to withdraw from the race. Religious Zionist Party chairman Bezalel Smotrich, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar subsequently urged Winter and other right-wing candidates polling below the electoral threshold to follow Gantz's example.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Smotrich met with Rabbi Eli Sadan, founder of the Bnei David pre-military academy and Winter's former rabbi, in an apparent effort to enlist his influence in persuading Winter to withdraw.

On Wednesday, Netanyahu publicly appealed to Winter to withdraw after dozens of bereaved families from the recent war published an open letter warning that votes for his party could jeopardize a right-wing victory.

"Ofer Winter, listen to the bereaved families, show responsibility and withdraw, for the sake of right-wing victory!" Netanyahu stated.

So far, he refuses to listen to reason, and if his party does end up costing votes for the right, he'll have to bear serious accountability for that. Levin's got some valid points.

Larry David may have gotten something right

The entertainer who co-created Seinfeld had some interesting stuff to say about the Democratic Socialists of America and the harm they're leading to:

In The View From Here (paywalled), David takes some fairly light shots at the DSA. It’s been a long time since Larry David was edgy and he isn’t edgy here. (To be fair, it might sound better as a standup bit than as a written text.) Like a lot of Democrat comedy that punches left, it acts as if the left is just foolishly naive, or maybe its punch lines are just dressed up in that ‘clown nose on’ defense.

Take the satire that bites at the end of that last sentence. “When the D.S.A. takes over, it will be our policy to close the jails and release all prisoners… People will be encouraged to give them a pat on the back, offer some words of encouragement, and maybe even get them to open up about their crimes. Imagine how upsetting it must be to know you’ve taken a life!”

Or take this ticker that Larry David bought to his own cancelation. “The D.S.A. has great respect for religious traditions. Because of our burgeoning Muslim population, we want to take all measures to give these people a strong sense of belonging in America. Along those lines, we’ll require that all Caucasian women wear a hijab on weekends in solidarity with their Muslim sisters.”

That may be satire, but it does get at what the problem is with the DSA now. And it's not just caucasian women whom they want to make wear hijabs. It's also Black/Asian/Latina women. So the question now is, will any women wake up and recognize what's wrong with the DSA?

Communist terror training camp lurks near Limoges

After a culprit in the destruction of the Limoges city hall was arrested, it's said there's a terrorist training camp for communists near the township, proving Islamofascists aren't the only ones proving dangerous for Europe:

A known far-left extremist on the French government’s terror watchlist has been arrested after the destruction of Limoges City Hall, as claims mount of a communist “terror training camp” operating in the countryside near the besieged city.

Far from an accidental conflagration caused by a rogue spark, French authorities now say the burning of Limoges City Hall was a planned operation by political extremists and is now being investigated by specialist counter-terrorism prosecutors. A new main suspect was arrested in a dawn raid Tuesday morning by specialist counter-terrorism police in Val-d’Issoire, a village north-west of Limoges, with the suspect allegedly being a known left-wing extremist, reports Le Parisien.

Identified by local newspaper Le Populaire du Centre as 34-year-old Hodei Docampo Ciarra, the Paris-born suspect is said to have smashed windows in Limoges town hall to allow access to the building’s cellars for the alleged arson team. The report states Hodei is “a committed environmental activist” with a criminal record.

According to Le Parisien, he is a known “ultra-left activist” with an ‘S-file’, a flag against his name on the national police computer identifying individuals from all extremist and terrorist backgrounds whore are subject to surveillance as a serious threat to national security. [...]

Others have linked the attack to a known core of ultra-left activists living in the region. French newspaper of record Le Figaro cites remarks by the Mayor of Cannes, free-market liberal French Presidential candidate David Lisnard, who spoke of the existence of “terrorist training camps” on the Plateau de Millevaches, a rural wooded area southeast of Limoges. Described as a “communist stronghold”, it is said that a whole network of radical activists, including foreign activists linked to ‘black bloc’ Antifa, inhabits a series of villages in the area.

These people are “training in urban guerrilla warfare” and acquiring “heavy equipment and weapons for attacks against the police” to wage war in cities, Lisnard said, calling on the government to “dismantle and ban all these small groups”.

If Jean Luc Melenchon ascends to power after this horror connected with his dark movement, it'll be an utter tragedy.

Update: both France and Italy have deployed military forces to contain and prevent more disaster.

Trump endorses Netanyahu

Donald Trump has announced his support for Benjamin Netanyahu in the Israeli election, which will take place next week:

President Donald Trump endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reelection, describing him as having “been strong, brave, and brilliant.’

In a post on Truth Social, Trump addressed a letter to the people of Israel and warned that “if Israel has the wrong Leader,” which is someone other than Netanyahu, the United States will have to do the job of fighting Iran by itself.

“Bibi Netanyahu has been a Great Warrior Prime Minister, and an even greater Partner for Peace in combatting the Islamic Republic of Iran, with its 51 year old chant, ‘Death to Israel, Death to America! We will destroy the Little Satan and the Big Satan,” Trump wrote. “What Country can survive when things such as this are allowed to be said, because eventually, they always end up being true?”

Trump continued, pointing out that “it would have been only a question of time until Iran would have put that ominous phrase into effect.”

“But they have been systematically destroyed, both Militarily and Financially, and unless they change their ways, rapidly, we will soon finish the job,” Trump continued. “If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so. Bibi Netanyahu has been Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition, including that coming from even Israel, itself.”

I certainly hope this encourages and convices the Israeli public to vote for Netanyahu's Likud party. It's also important for the future of Europe.

USA military's execution of Nidal Hasan won't be livestreamed

It appears that while the long-delayed execution of Muslim military murderer Nidal Hasan will go ahead, it won't be livestreamed as was originally planned (Hat tip: Patterico):

President Trump put an abrupt end on Thursday to questions about whether the Pentagon would really livestream the firing squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter, former Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

In a Truth Social post, he said the public execution could serve as a deterrent but didn’t want to subject “good and well-meaning” people to the sight. Critics have also warned about the video becoming a tool for terrorist propaganda.

I suppose there's a valid concern there, so perhaps it's for the best if it isn't public. So long as Hasan is punished for his evil deeds, that's what matters.

An investigation into Ilhan Omar's fraudulent activities

Federal authorities have wisely opened an investigation into Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's criminal activities, starting with immigration fraud:

Federal investigators are examining whether Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar obtained US citizenship through fraud, potentially laying the groundwork to revoke her citizenship and seek her deportation, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The newspaper, citing officials and other people familiar with the investigation, said authorities are reviewing the Somalia-born congresswoman’s immigration history and family records.

The report follows a federal search of Omar’s Washington, D.C., home roughly six weeks before the midterm elections, in which she is seeking re-election. The Justice Department described the search as “part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.”

Here's more:

Two sources close to the investigation say the search stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child.

[...] In 2024, the congresswoman reported that her husband possessed between $6 million and $30 million in assets.

A more recent 2025 financial disclosure report shows Omar’s revised value of shared assets between her and husband to sit at a maximum of $125,000 — a multimillion-dollar drop from the year prior, a difference of about 29.9 million. The lower estimate of their assets, $20,000, compared to the low and high debt estimates, $30,000 and $100,000, would imply the Minnesota Democrat could have a negative net worth.

Both she and her husband have separate debts, each ranging somewhere between $15,000 and $50,000 — from her own student loans and her husband’s credit card debt, according to the disclosures.

Omar has repeatedly refused to clarify the disclosures.

During her tenure in Congress, she has been plagued by allegations that she married her brother in 2009 in an alleged immigration fraud scheme.

That's surely got to be one of the most embarrassingly bad things about her MO. This has been long overdue, and it's good that now, the authorities are seriously running an investigation into her crimes, which'll hopefully lead to her exile from the USA.

Barack Obama incites against Israel at Irish university

The leftist ex-president of the USA told anti-Israelists at an Irish university exactly what they wanted to hear:

Former US president Barack Obama said on Tuesday that Israel "took land off people and they were excessive," in reference to Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people throughout the history of the nation.

Obama made his comments while visiting Belfast, Northern Ireland, to receive an honorary doctorate from Queen's University Belfast.

In a conversation with journalist Susan McKay, the former president referred to the Palestinians' reaction to the Jewish people's exerting cultural and military control over the State of Israel by explaining that "those people understandably said, 'This is injustice, and I want my land back.'"

Something Obama completely obscures in this disgraceful tommyrot of his is the question of whether men and women who commit murder and rape deserve any kind of sovereignty and whether they deserve to be politicians and be recognized as "leaders". Obama's proven he hasn't changed a bit in all the years since he was president, and continues to spread anti-Israel libels in even worse ways than when he was in office. And the university in Belfast even gives him an award he doesn't deserve. Which only proves how these types of honorary degrees and awards only exist today for leftist causes.

J.D. Vance's sloppy take on socialism

The USA vice president recently commented on what he thought socialism was intended to be, and did not give a good response:

“Socialism, classically, was about prioritizing workers. ... Now I think that, in reality, what it truly means in the American context is wanting to replace American workers with foreign workers, and wanting boys to participate in girls’ sports.”

That was the response given by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance during a press gaggle Thursday when asked for his definition of socialism. His remarks have since drawn commentary from the vast community of exiles from socialist regimes who have found refuge in the United States.

The Vice President’s statement was “the worst answer I’ve heard from a conservative in decades,” according to Venezuelan activist Emanuel Rincón. “The truth is that socialists have never cared about workers; they have cared about dominating the means of production or the profits derived from them, about holding total power and harassing citizens, and about extinguishing freedoms — not about doing what J.D. Vance suggests here.”

And this is why there are folks out there who believe Vance will not make a good candidate for POTUS in the next few years. He really blew it, and emerges little better than he did when discussing Israel, in example. And he didn't help matters when he said the other year that if Iranians want to topple the autocracy, "it's up to them". That was very ill-advised too.

While I agree with Rincón, there is some truth to what the vice president said: modern socialism is intrinsically linked to “wokeism” and its ridiculous ideas.

It’s unrealistic to expect a politician to look good or be perfectly on point every time they appear on camera. We are all human beings. Nevertheless, I believe it is important to clarify the concept of socialism — an ideology that has led to the worst horrors known in modern history on every continent where it has been implemented.

Socialism originated as an idea to transform economic and political systems, as well as class relations. Karl Marx, the quintessential intellectual of that ideology, illustrated this in his Critique of the Gotha Program, describing it as a “cooperative society based on common ownership of the means of production.”

Socialists described socialism as the first rung — the phase immediately preceding — in the establishment of a communist society in which the State would cease to exist. Yet, to “socialize” the means of production (in plain terms: stripping ownership from those who held it), it was imperative to employ the coercive force of that very State they claimed would eventually be abolished.

Do you follow the idea? I know it sounds crazy, but believe me: someone like me — who lived under a totalitarian system where these concepts were treated as gospel — can attest that they are not merely foolish, but malevolent. My country, Cuba, went from having an economy that rivaled those of Europe to competing with Haiti for the lowest rank in the hemisphere. My city, Havana — which once boasted more movie theaters than Paris or New York — has now become, as I have said before, a “Pompeii of Salt.”

And Vance isn't well informed on that? Sigh. And let's also consider that Islam follows similar paths in its ideology, and many places that fell to Islam like Iran, have been turned into horror stories even worse. Vance needs to brush up on his knowledge, but for now, he's provided more reasons not to support him as a full presidential candidate if he runs for nomination in 2 years.

Minnesota judicial system allows Muslim school shooter to post bail and exit prison despite severity of crime

Minnesota has another sad case demonstrating the chilling weaknesses turning up in the USA justice system (via Jihad Watch):

The accused gunman in a Minnesota homecoming shooting is out on bond while three more suspects are behind bars and a fourth remains on the run in a case investigators have linked to gangs.

Adam Abdihakeem Adam, 18, was released from the Hennepin County Jail after posting bond Saturday evening, according to jail records reviewed by Fox News Digital.

He is accused of shooting two teenagers outside Eden Prairie High School on Oct. 2, sending fans fleeing and forcing the football game to be evacuated.

Hennepin County court records show three of four additional suspects charged in connection with the fight and shooting are now in custody: Mahamed Ali Haji, 20, of Savage; Abdirahman Ahmed Jama, 18, of Minneapolis; and Omar Adan Abdullahi, 19, of Burnsville.

An arrest warrant remains outstanding for Musab Ibrahim Aden, 18, of St. Paul.

Investigators believe "all participants of the fight and gunshot are believed to be associated with gangs," according to the criminal complaint against the additional suspects.

Letting someone that dangerous out on bond/bail is only spelling more trouble, and simultaneously enabling the criminals to flee into the night. Minnesota looks to be even worse a place to live than California with these jihadists now on the loose.

Order must be restored in France, and the jihadists cannot be allowed to riot during election

A vital case is made for why order needs to be restored in France, and an important warning made about how the jihadists in France could be plotting to commit mass violence if Marine Le Pen's elected:

France’s latest round of rioting, nominally a protest about underfunded schools, is proving to be unusually violent as well as perversely destructive. Burning down or attacking schools is an unorthodox way of improving them. And there are legitimate fears that the disorder, which is being encouraged, at least to some degree, by leftist agitators who have long since left the classroom, may spread further still. There is speculation that this may even be a dress rehearsal for massive disturbances should Marine Le Pen’s populist-right RN win next year’s presidential elections.

Which beggars the query: does Emmanuel Macron intend to allow this to occur when the election takes place? And if the rioters burning down schools, that proves the claim they want better resources is entirely false.

Meanwhile, mass immigration continued, and, as has been made evident yet again by the current rioting, assimilation has proved incomplete, a failure that now stretches across several generations. As a result, the RN (previously the National Front) has long since emerged from the fringe. These riots will do the RN no harm. On the far left, a relative newcomer, the far-left LFI under Jean-Luc Mélenchon, celebrates the “creolization” of France and is appealing to younger voters, immigrants, and their descendants, as well as to Islamists as co-belligerents, a strategy that the left is using elsewhere in Europe. The role played by some in the LFI, tacit or otherwise, in encouraging violence presumably rests on their understanding that for the right audience, violence makes an excellent recruiting sergeant. Moreover, were it to lead to a response by the authorities that could be characterized as an overreaction or that generates a martyr or two, so much the better. [...]

For now, however, the government needs to restore order — and soon — if the rioting is not to spread further. Thereafter, it will doubtless be focused on the budget and trying to avoid next year’s runoff being between Mélenchon and Le Pen, two tricky problems. As to the first, giving the can another kick down the road looks like a good bet. So far as the second is concerned, a recent speech by one presidential hopeful, former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, in which he called for yet more EU integration merely adds to already overwhelming evidence that France and indeed Europe’s radicalized “centrists” remain incapable of addressing the scale of the disaster they have done so much to create.

There's plenty of valid points to be found here. The Trump administration should also speak out about this more too, and confront Macron on what he intends to do in his last days as president to curb the current violence and disorder, which, last time I looked, has also spread to Belgium and even Italy. And any Americans who aren't willing to help out innocent Europeans won't be helping matters.

Poll finds 4 in 10 young USA citizens support Islamic sharia

I rarely read the Federalist site now, because of how some writers like editor John Daniel Davidson leave a bad aftertaste, but the following report (via Jihad Watch and Front Page), which is favorable to Israel as well, tells the USA has a very sad case of whole generations who were indoctrinated into being Vladimir Lenin's "useful idiots":

A set of polls released this week by Our Republic and Rasmussen show a concerning trend among American youth, especially in light of recently revealed immigration numbers under Biden: A quarter of 18-35 voters polled would support a community implementing Sharia law as the legal code for the entire town, city, or state if the majority of residents living there desired its adoption.

Additionally, according to the Our Republic poll:

Overall, 21% of likely voters said they have a mostly or somewhat positive opinion of sharia, compared with 57% who have a negative opinion. Positive views were much higher among younger Americans, including 43% of voters ages 18–24 and 39% of those ages 25–29.

The reason American youth may be trending this way, according to Justin Haskins, president of Our Republic, is a lack of understanding about the “value [of] the Constitution and the protections it provides.”

It could also be that they lack appreciation of civilized values, and if it turns out they know more than we think about what Islam is like, they're actually okay with it.

Other findings from the same set of polls clarify the suspicion young people have of Israel, with 46 percent of voters ages 18–24 and 60 percent of those ages 25–29 reporting they would support a proposal “to completely dismantle Israel and replace it with a Palestinian-led nation in exchange for ending the war with Iran and providing the United States with lower oil and gas prices.”

Haskins does not believe that American youth who take these positions are necessarily committed Islamists, nor does he believe they are considering Sharia primarily “as an extension of religious liberty.” Rather, says Haskins, “the more important factor is that Muslims are widely perceived as an oppressed or marginalized group in the United States,” he says. “Within that framework, groups perceived as marginalized are often treated sympathetically without much scrutiny of what those groups or their belief systems actually teach.”

That's another chilling problem - they practically indoctrinated into taking predetermined positions, yet if and when it turns out some leftists get caught committing crimes, those who pretend they're not guilty complain the MSM is just cliche-hunting and never does any research. This is exactly why laws are badly needed to deal with such an issue as sharia. It wouldn't be shocking if the pro-sharia crowd they speak of is already willing to support imposing sharia in cities like Dearborn and Hamtramyck, Michigan. Also, if they're against the war on Iran's autocrats, that too speaks volumes, as does their hostility to Israel, and their potential desensitization/willingness to commit violence, the latter which is particularly offensive.

Now since we're on the subject, the Van Zandt County committee in Texas passed a resolution condemning sharia:

Van Zandt County Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution Wednesday denouncing Sharia, making it the first Texas county to pass a resolution specifically addressing use of the Islamic religious code.

Van Zandt County Precinct 2 Commissioner Cliff Williams said he brought the resolution forward because of an 80-acre land purchase in southern Van Zandt County by a family with ties to Muslim youth organizations.

The resolution was inspired by a draft resolution introduced by Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, that denounces Sharia in the United States. Self’s resolution has not been passed by Congress.

While introducing the resolution, Williams explained how Sharia is practiced in various Muslim-majority countries.

“Sharia, as practiced by governments around the world, is more than a private devotion. It operates as a complete political and legal order,” he said. “Where states enforce it, the record speaks for itself. In Iran, women have been beaten in jail for uncovering their hair. In Pakistan, blasphemy laws have sent people to prison and stirred mobs against them on a single person’s accusation.”

Williams also discussed the treatment of women under some interpretations and applications of Sharia, saying a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s, her inheritance is half that of her brothers, and her ability to work, marry or travel can depend on a male guardian.

“It’s not American,” Williams said. “Compare that with what we hold as Americans and Texans. Every person stands equal before the law.”

This is also exactly why even abroad/overseas, we can't just stand idly by while Islam dominates anywhere else. And parents who really care have to start taking serious responsibility for what their children think and end up advocating.

Update: the surveys get worse, as the following from the Buckley Institute reveals there's a considerable number of undergraduate students who believe what Hasan Piker espoused:

Just weeks after the United States commemorated the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorists attacks, a new poll reveals more than one in five undergraduate students believe America deserved the attacks, while nearly half of all undergraduate students think physical violence is justified to stop so-called hate speech.

The Buckley Institute’s 2026 National Undergraduate Student Survey polled 803 American undergraduate students between September 5 and 14.

A shocking 22 percent agreed that America deserved 9/11, including 28 percent of liberal students. Notably, leftist streamer Hasan Piker — who campaigned with Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and cozies up to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — has said America deserved 9/11. Meanwhile, Aber Kawas, a Democratic Socialist of America member and nominee for the New York state Senate, has said that America brought on 9/11 because of capitalism, alleged white supremacy and racism, and alleged Islamophobia.

The poll also found that 45 percent of American college students believe physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech — among which 54 percent of liberals agree compared to 30 percent of conservatives.

“Interestingly, 72% of those who agree that physical violence can be justified to stop hate speech also agree that hate speech is protected by the First Amendment,” The Buckley Institute found.

Shortly after Charlie Kirk was murdered on a Utah college campus for his free speech, a YouGov survey conducted from September 10-12 asked respondent whether they think “it is ever justified for citizens to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals?” Twenty-five percent of respondents who identified as “very liberal” said it can be justified, while 17% of self-identified liberals said the same. Just nine percent of people who identify as either conservative or very conservative said it was justified.

Meanwhile, a recent poll conducted by the Center for Strategic Politics found “Democrats want Trump out by (almost) any means necessary” — including assassination.

Well this is also very chilling, and fully confirms why parents need to stop even sending their children to universities, even if they don't espouse this kind of garbage indoctrination. The influence of violence is a very grave issue that needs serious address everywhere, and Europe too is in sore need of it.

USA military's execution of Nidal Hasan will take place December 3

USA war secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the jihadist who murdered 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009 will be handed down the death sentence on the 3rd of December:

On Thursday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made clear the public will be able to see the December 3, 2026, execution of terrorist Nidal Hasan.

Breitbart News reported that Hasan will be executed at Fort Hood for the mass shooting he carried out at that same military installation on November 5, 2009. Hasan’s attack left 13 dead and numerous others wounded as he shouted, “Allahu Akbar,” while committing the atrocity. [...]

He [Hegseth] told Real America’s Voice, “We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it. That it’s public. Because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things.”

I do hope I can find sites and channels on which to watch this. It can help send a message that Islamofascists who identify as "palestinians" will also face grave consequences for their repulsive behavior. Hasan deserves all that's coming to him soon.

Update: here's more commentary from Catherine Salgado.

Defeatism in the 1990s

In this article, Dror Eydar talks about the Islamofascist horror engulfing Europe, and brings up something he was told about that occurred in Belgium during the 1990s:

A prominent professor once told me about a conversation he had with a Belgian colleague back in the 1990s. "Look at all the mosques springing up on every corner," he told him. "What will you do when the Muslims actually start taking over Belgium? How will you fight them?"

The Belgian, a devout Catholic, answered candidly: "We won't fight. We'll convert to Islam. They ruled Western Europe once before, so they'll rule it again." While the enemies of the West are prepared to sacrifice their lives to destroy Judeo-Christian civilization, European society is unwilling to pay a price to defend its freedom.

This reminds me of what was said about what the Christian leadership response could be to a movie based on Betty Mahmoody's horrifying experiences in Iran today. Do these people really lack that much confidence they're willing to literally sell out? Additionally terrifying is what the USA public's positions could be on this, recalling how, in a way, the surveys they led to crippled the military's ability to fight the war against Iran on the ground as much as in the air. If the Bush administration, pretentious as it was, was willing to fight Iraq on the ground, and they had no problem with that, why do they suddenly have a problem now, if it could be done the same way and just as effectively? Of course, let's not forget the horrible example Ronald Reagan set when he withdrew the army from Lebanon in 1983, and it's become largely Islamic since.

The incident aboard the flight from Dubai illustrates this principle. Thanks to the sacrifice and quick thinking of Yaniv Hayun, along with the courage of the Indian pilot and other Israeli passengers, many lives were saved and a catastrophe was averted, one that could have emboldened Islamist terrorism.

And if the pilot adheres to Hinduism, it indicates even they have a much more realist view of the need to be vigilant. So perhaps that's why Europeans who need a faith that can give them a reason to live should consider either Judaism or Hinduism? And if it's the former, it needs to be offered without demanding or even expecting the possible convert to follow what the ultra-Orthodox do. That would be a most utterly unsuitable way to handle things.

Trump administration is enabling exile of Christians from Syria

Catherine Salgado points to how Christians are disappearing from the middle east, and one part sticks out in particular for pondering:

Between the Islamic civil war in Syria and the current dictatorship under the genocidal Syrian President Abu Mohammad al-Golani (also known as Ahmed al-Sharaa) and his terrorist group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, the Christian population of Syria has almost vanished. Within living memory, Lebanon was Christian; now it is mostly Muslim. In Iran and Iraq, ancient communities of Christians have shrunk almost to nonexistence. In Turkey, where Constantinople was once a glory of the Christian world, the Muslims have stolen Christian heritage and Christian lands. In Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and numerous other countries in the Middle East, Christians have disappeared or are barely hanging on. Gaza’s and Bethlehem’s Christian populations have dropped under Palestinian Authority control. This is the legacy of Islamic takeover. Israel stands out in the Middle East because its Christian population is actually growing. Christians can visit the holiest sites of our religion because of the Israeli government.

So as you see, Salgado doesn't hold back in her description of al-Sharaa, and she's right that the whole notion anything is literally improving for Christians in other parts of the middle east is mistaken. Let's also not forget what it's like in certain parts of Africa like Nigeria, which Trump has addressed, but lately hasn't done so as much, and that could be troubling too. Either way, that he would be willing to recognize an Islamofascist and approve of his becoming an autocrat in Syria is very disturbing, and does serious damage to the efforts to put an end to the Religion of Peace's tyrannical reign anywhere.

It's not enough that Israel be considered a place where Christianity can survive. Even other parts of the middle east and Europe have to count.

Trump has what to say about riots in France

Donald Trump's weighed in on the latest terrible riots in France and what's behind them:

President Donald Trump is sounding the alarm over France’s spiraling street unrest, warning that the threat of Islam is taking over the country and fueling a crisis that has now engulfed the country’s schools, streets, and police.

“What’s happening in France is nothing less than out of control mass migration,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “This isn’t about schools, this is about Islam wanting to take over a once great Country!”

French teenagers stormed back to the barricades Tuesday for a third round of their increasingly violent school revolt — and this time, the adults joined them. Scuffles broke out between protesters and police on the streets of Paris, while clashes flared in Lyon and Strasbourg as hundreds of thousands of high school students once again blockaded their schools.

It's chilling, and also makes clear that in or out of government, Jean Luc Melechon's party, which reportedly incited this, clearly is a troublemaker that's bound to cause hell for France that nobody needs.

Trump approves USA military execution for Nidal Hasan

Donald Trump has approved the USA military handing the death sentence to Nidal Malik Hasan for his acts of jihadist murder in 2009:

US President Donald Trump has approved the military execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the former Army officer responsible for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people and wounded 32 others.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced the decision Monday, nearly 17 years after the attack.

Hasan opened fire on November 5, 2009, shouting "Allahu Akbar" as he attacked soldiers at the Texas military installation. If the execution proceeds, it would mark the first US military execution authorized by a president and carried out since 1961. Such executions are reserved for the most serious offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. [...]

Before the Fort Hood attack, Hasan took a pistol and a .357 revolver to a mosque where he attended noon prayers. He then drove to a soldier readiness processing facility, where he knew soldiers would be unarmed. Witness accounts described him opening fire on the area with the greatest concentration of soldiers after shouting "Allahu Akbar." "I shot to kill," Hasan stated in a sanity board report.

Well it's about time, and now, what matters is when the termination of this monster will actually take place. So we have to hope it'll take place by the end of the year. Hasan cannot continue to live any longer after what he did to those soldiers at the time.

When will Nidal Malik Hasan finally be executed?

Stephen Green brings up the repugnant case of Nidal Malik Hasan, the Islamic US Army major of "palestinian" background who committed mass murder at Fort Hood 17 years ago, and to date hasn't been given the death sentence for the tragedies he caused:

It seems impossible that it's been almost exactly 17 years since U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan shouted "Allahu Akbar!" and opened fire on soldiers at the Fort Hood Soldier Readiness Center in Killeen, Texas. By the time Department of the Army police officer Kimberly D. Munley and Sgt. Mark Todd exchanged gunshots with Hasan and disabled him; he had killed 14 people — including an unborn baby — and wounded 32 more.

Before going down, Hasan shot Munley three times, in the right hand, left thigh, and left knee. She survived, but never fully recovered from her injuries. Hasan's attack lasted about 10 minutes because of all the many absurdities about modern life; soldiers are generally not allowed to carry firearms on base.

It is the height of outrageous absurdity that the Obama administration described the jihadi terrorist attack as an act of mere "workplace violence." Hasan, the son of naturalized Palestinian immigrants, was reportedly radicalized online by Imam Anwar al-Awlaki — under the watchful eye of the FBI. The Bureau cleared him shortly before what a Senate report called "the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001."

Obama's Army Chief of Staff Gen. George W. Casey Jr. said, "I'm concerned that this increased speculation could cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers... Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that's worse."

Fourteen dead in an Islamic terror attack, and all Casey could do was praise our precious diversity. [...]

The Supreme Court removed the last remaining legal obstacle to Hasan's long-awaited execution in October 2024 — two years ago — when the court declined to hear his appeal. That was under Presidentish Joe Biden.

It should come as no surprise that Biden did not take the final executive step. Under U.S. military law (UCMJ), a death sentence cannot be carried out until the President personally approves it — and President Donald Trump has yet to do so.

We have to hope Trump will be fully willing to greenlight the end of Hasan by the end of the year, because this travesty of justice has gone on far too long, and Obama definitely compounded much of the damage by minimizing the issues involved, as did Casey. I wonder what the pro-PLO/Hamas crowd thinks of Hasan? It's chilling to think of how entirely possible it is that they consider Hasan an "icon and idol" to their repulsive cause.

The USA Girl Scouts sell out to Islam

Without a doubt, the Boy Scouts have too, but for now, what's really chilling is how the Girl Scouts have done exactly that:

[SADLER] We’re going to talk about something about the Girl Scouts and trouble within the Girl Scouts, in a column that Maggie wrote for us. Maggie, I’m going to let you jump right into this, because when I was reading the column, I could not believe this was actually happening. But the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts, they just keep stepping in it, in terms of the wokeism. So describe to me your column, the problems and the concerns that you have with the Girl Scouts.

[MCKNEELY] This is such a crazy and troubling story. The Girl Scouts was founded back in 1912 to help empower women. This was back before women had the right to vote. And so this organization was started to help enable women to go pursue their dreams, pursue careers they thought they would be best at, and to enable and encourage their talents. And yet now, fast forward to 2026, and we have the Girl Scouts giving a platform to Islam, a religion that does not allow women to even have their hair uncovered.

For most of the Girl Scouts’ history, a lot of the troops — you can have freestanding troops, but you can also have Girl Scout troops that are sponsored by a church, by a cathedral, or a synagogue. But apparently you can also have troops that are sponsored by a mosque. And so there was a recent report that came out recently that showed that there are a lot of troops that are not just encouraging girls to deepen their Islamic faith, but also to share it with the non-Muslim communities. So there’s now an organization called the Islamic Community of Girl Scouting. And what they have done is create a number of badges related to Islam. So you can be the Girl of Islamic Faith, which requires a number of steps to go through to get this badge, to be the Girl of Islamic Faith. But what’s more insidious is that there are also badges related to sharing Islam. Like, you can get a Share Ramadan With Your Friend badge. You can get all sorts of badges related to actually sharing Islam with the non-Muslim community.

And a number of these troops are also putting on events to share Islam. There was a troop out in Sacramento that had an event to bring the non-Muslim community in, and they had things like a try-on-a-hijab booth or a learn-about-Palestine booth to create empathy — I’m using air quotes there — with the Palestinian cause.

It seems really endemic. We’re seeing this all across the nation. It’s not just California. We’re seeing it in Virginia and Florida and New York and Indiana. So it is — it’s all over the place. And it’s just really troubling because it’s such a departure from what the Girl Scouts was originally meant to be.

[SADLER] And the proselytizing, that’s the other thing. It’s not only if you visit a mosque you get a badge — it’s how many people can you convert? Are there similar badges for the Catholics? Is there similar badges for the Baptists, for the evangelicals? Is there similar badges for the Jews?

[MCKNEELY] No, no, there’s not. There’s no Share Communion With Your Friend, no Have Shabbat With Your Friend badge. This seems to be specific just to the Islamic-sponsored troops.

[SADLER] And it’s just really incompatible. Islam is incompatible with Western values. As you mentioned, there is no freedom of religion for women in Islamic countries — in Iran, in Afghanistan. If you look at Afghanistan under Taliban rule, women can’t even get an education. They are subject to childhood marriage at around nine years old, before they even mature. They’re already sold off from their families to a man who could have multiple wives — not even, not even one wife.

Without a doubt, the Islamic movements with Girl Scout charters are under no obligation in any way to accomodate LGBT ideology. It's only the Judeo-Christian movements that are, and even the Buddhist/Hindu/Shinto movements, if there are any in the USA with Scout charters. This is absolutely awful, and one of the leading reasons many families have hopefully distanced themselves from the Girl Scouts movement itself, and shifted to movements like the American Heritage Girls, a similar movement I heard of years ago. No more Girl Scout cookies, and I've got a bad feeling there's quite a few charters that're now making halal cookies, as if things weren't bad enough.

Sydney Sweeney would make a perfect representative for Judaism, if she converts

Actress Sydney Sweeney's rumored to be considered a conversion to Judaism, based on her relationship with music producer Scooter Braun:

Hollywood's most talked-about romance of the year keeps generating headlines, and this time the story has taken a distinctly Jewish turn. According to rumors, "Euphoria" and "The White Lotus" star Sydney Sweeney is weighing a dramatic, life-changing step for her partner, successful Jewish American music producer Scooter Braun – conversion.

The conversion rumors surfaced after the popular gossip account Deuxmoi reported that the Emmy-nominated, 29-year-old actress was spotted at synagogue with Braun during Rosh Hashanah prayers. People close to the couple say Sweeney is head over heels in love and is eager to build a Jewish home with him.

It would be a striking shift for Sweeney, who was raised in a devout, conservative Christian household. Braun, 45, by contrast, comes from a Conservative Jewish family, grew up keeping kosher, and is the grandson of Holocaust survivors. Reports suggest Sydney's push to fast-track both the wedding and the conversion has unsettled her Christian family, who are wary of just how quickly the relationship has moved.

In less than a year: sharing a home

Since October 7, Braun has been considered one of the most prominent and outspoken pro-Israel voices in the American entertainment industry, and he has managed to bring his partner along with him. In January 2026, Sweeney touched the Jewish and Israeli community when she met in Los Angeles with Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or, the couple kidnapped together from the Nova festival, who survived prolonged Hamas captivity before their release.

A photo circulated by the advocacy group StandWithUs showed Sweeney smiling as she embraced Noa and Avinatan warmly. The encounter, made possible by Braun's close relationship with the pair, won her praise from Israel's supporters even as pro-Palestinian users online pushed back with criticism and boycott calls. Sweeney did not let the backlash rattle her.

Again, Sweeney's an amazing girl, based on her solidarity with Israelis, and if she converts, she could become what the Judaist movement needs: a sex symbol in entertainment. Of course, to convert, she should not have adhere to any dress code or wear a wig like a Columbian soap opera start did when she converted. By doing that, she not only validated propaganda that being beautiful is somehow inherently wrong, in and out of marriage, she was also erasing her national history. And that's wrong. So I hope any rabbis who oversee a conversion for Sweeney will do it in a way that respects her ethnic/national heritage, along with her God-given gifts. That's the real way to manage the Judaist religion.

Britain's immigration office granted asylum to a Hamas member who plotted more terrorist attacks in Europe

Britain's shoddy approach to Islamic jihadism has turned up again, as it turns out they'd granted asylum without question to a prominent Hamas member:

A former personal bodyguard to former top Hamas warlord Ismail Haniyeh secured asylum and a British passport before attempting to launch a deadly plot to attack European Jews, an explosive new report reveals.

The suspect, identified only as “Mr X,” served in the security detail for Haniyeh. Haniyeh was the terrorist mastermind who famously cheered the demise of American forces in Afghanistan alongside the Taliban, and who celebrated the horrific Oct. 7 massacres from his plush hideout in Qatar before being eliminated by Israeli forces in Tehran.

Despite Mr X’s deep ties to terror, British authorities rolled out the red carpet for the jihadist operative, granting him sanctuary and eventual citizenship.

Now, he’s behind bars in the UK, facing extradition to Germany for allegedly helping coordinate a massive, synchronized terror campaign aimed at slaughtering Jews and targeting Israeli diplomats across Europe to mark the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 atrocity.

According to an exposé published by The Times, British officials granted Mr X refugee status in 2015 under then-Home Secretary Theresa May, despite his well-documented past as a Hamas operative.

Before landing in Britain, this was known about the suspect: He is the son of a senior Hamas official; he was photographed shielding Haniyeh while armed mobs raised machine guns in the air, and he was previously arrested by Egyptian authorities for running a cross-border smuggling tunnel used to move gold and firearms into Gaza.

May was considered a disaster in her job as premier, and this is compounding the negative image she's left behind from her time leading the UK government. It's disgusting how these pro-Islamic-terrorism acts continue to leave such a bad scar on society at large, and even if the UK government now is willing to extradite the monster they don't have the courage to name, they're still doing very bad things hurtful to Israel, and to other innocent people across the globe.

Update: here's more with commentary by Nigel Farage:

Commenting on the revelations, Mr Farage said on Sunday: “How can anyone trust the Tories again after today’s news? They gave refugee status and ILR to a known terrorist, allowing him to become a British citizen. The man had public ties to Hamas’ leadership!

“They failed to protect you. Only Reform will keep the British people safe.”

Seriously, after this, the Tories should not be considered a valid party ever again.
