It appears all the leftist irresponsibility of the past 4 years or more has now led to a monstrous tragedy in LA, in which many neighborhoods like Pacific Palisades were almost completely destroyed, similar to how the Hawaiian town of Lahaina was 2 years ago.

The Jewish communities in LA suffered from this awful incident that's still ravaging the region, and Christian congregations did too:

Religious buildings were not spared the wrath of the Palisades Fire on Tuesday and Wednesday in Los Angeles, with many churches damaged and destroyed.

One of the first religious buildings known to have caught alight was the Presbyterian Church on Sunset Boulevard, which burned to the ground — except for the iconic cross tower.

Nearby, the concrete edifice of the Kehillat Israel synagogue was untouched — but the home of Rabbi Daniel Sher was completely destroyed.

The Corpus Christi Catholic Church and the adjoining school appeared to have been barely damaged as well.

Closer to the ocean, the complex housing the Chabad of Pacific Palisades was damaged, but the main synagogue building survived.

Firefighters also battled to save the Lake Shrine, the home of a large and popular spiritual and meditation center known as the Self-Realization Fellowship.

I hesitate to think what could also have befallen any Buddhist, Hindu and Shinto communities I'm sure maintain a presence in LA too. My condolences to all. Donald Trump has said California governor Gavin Newsom should resign, and he most certainly should. Trump said:

In an earlier post on Wednesday, the president-elect wrote that the devastating wildfires represent Newsom’s and President Joe Biden’s “incompetence and mismanagement”:

“The fires in Los Angeles may go down, in dollar amount, as the worst in the History of our Country. In many circles, they’re doubting whether insurance companies will even have enough money to pay for this catastrophe,” Trump said on his social media platform. “Let this serve, and be emblematic, of the gross incompetence and mismanagement of the Biden/Newscum Duo. January 20th cannot come fast enough!”

In yet another post aimed at the California governor, Trump called him out for refusing to sign the “water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way.”

Newsom refusal to approve the motion is very grave, and now we're seeing the horrible results.

Update: Beth Brelje explains how DEI tactics led to the tragedy, and it's also been reported that LA mayor Karen Bass cut funding that could've helped the fire department.

Update: the Daily Caller discovered that, while the LA municipality cut funding for the fire department, they wasted money on LGBT projects, in another chilling display of how ideology is being put on a higher level of importance by the left than public safety.

Finally, after nearly a dozen years of disastrous policies in Canada, prime minister Trudeau has resigned his undeserved position:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation on Monday, saying he intends to step down from the top job and as the leader of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party once a new party leader is chosen.

“I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its new leader,” the 53-year-old leader told reporters at a news conference in Ottawa on Monday.

Canada’s parliament will be suspended until March 24 while a new Liberal Party leader is chosen, he also said.

Trudeau added that he has “one regret” – failing to reform Canada’s election process, ahead of a general election expected this fall.

“If I have one regret, particularly as we approach this election — well, probably many regrets that I will think of,” the outgoing leader said. “But I do wish we’d been able to change the way we elect our governments in this country so that people could simply choose a second choice, or a third choice on the same ballot.”

And what would those choices be? Maybe an Islamic caliphate, like what all the Moslem immigration to the country could one day lead to? Not to mention the horrific transsexual pandering that's ruined the great white north too? I once discovered Trudeau's father Pierre was a communist sympathiser, and that kind of kowtowing is equally harmful, and did no favors for Canada's reputation.

Trudeau won't be missed as a premier, and it's to be hoped a better government will be elected when the time comes. And if it's Pierre Poliviere, it's to be hoped he'll prove a far better, more responsible leader. Someone has to put a halt to the horrible antisemitism and misogyny that's now plauging Canada.

Update: here's an op-ed about how bad Canada became for Jews and others under Trudeau.

Reelected POTUS Donald Trump intends to impose special sanctions upon the ICC in response to the offensive actions they're taking against Israelis and others opposed to Islamic terrorism:

The sanctions package will target both individual ICC personnel, including judges and prosecutors, and the institution as a whole. The administration intends to classify the ICC as an organization threatening US interests, employing designation procedures similar to those used by the US State Department for terrorist organizations globally. This designation will trigger severe restrictions on anyone involved with the court's operations.

Financial institutions worldwide will be required to terminate relationships with ICC personnel or face US sanctions themselves. Mirroring actions taken against sanctioned Israeli citizens by the outgoing administration, ICC staff will find themselves unable to perform routine banking operations or use credit cards. Their economic activities will be effectively frozen, with exceptions only for essential needs such as food purchases. Furthermore, all US-based assets belonging to ICC employees and the institution will be frozen.

The incoming administration's strategy extends beyond unilateral actions, as it plans to secure commitments from US allies to reject cooperation with arrest warrants targeting Israeli officials.

Based on what the ICC is like today, it would be for the best if it went out of business altogether. A new court could be formed to replace it too, if anybody thought it workable. Trump's got an excellent position on how to deal with the corrupt ICC.

It would seem the Golden Globes award ceremony in Hollywood this Sunday has been putting all its eggs into the basket of an ideology that's come to be viewed as repellent by the USA public:

Transgenderism will play a major role at this year’s Golden Globes Awards on Sunday, with best picture frontrunners Emilia Perez and Conclave both featuring gender non-conformity as major plot points.

The 82nd annual Golden Globes, which will air live Sunday on CBS, faces an uphill battle with ratings, which have tanked in recent years as tens of millions of Americans have elected to tune out in order to avoid the woke sermonizing by wealthy celebrities.

Last year’s broadcast managed to draw just 9.4 million viewers — way down from pre-COVID years when the show would attract double that. As recently as 2020, about 18.4 million tuned in to watch the awards show. [...]

A Golden Globes win for Gascón wouldn’t be the first time the show has honored a transgender performer.

Two years ago, transgender star MJ Rodriguez — also a man who identifies as a woman — won for lead actress in a drama series for FX’s Pose.

Conclave is the best picture frontrunner in the drama category.

The Focus Features release dramatizes a power struggle in the Vatican over the election of a new pope. In a plot twist, the new pope turns out to be intersex — a “male” who possesses female reproductive organs.

It's sad how science fiction is being made to look like reality, or exploited for the sake of crude and perverse ideologies. Regrettably, one of the films did win a prize, even though Demi Moore won for best actress:

Emilia Perez took home the Golden Globes award for best picture comedy or musical on Sunday. It also won two other prizes for supporting actress Zoe Saldana and best non-English language movie.

The French-produced, mostly Spanish-language movie tells the story of a Mexican cartel boss who attempts to escape the drug trade by undergoing a sex-change operation to become a “woman.” Real-life transgender actor Karla Sofía Gascón — a biological man who identifies as a woman — plays the title role.

Gascón was tipped to win a best actress prize on Sunday, but Demi Moore prevailed for her performance in the body-horror movie The Substance.

Emilia Perez is widely expected to score multiple Academy Award nominations this week, with Netflix’s formidable publicity machine ratcheting up the buzz around the Jacques Audiard-directed movie.

When Netflix is involved, it's one more sign to stay away. And while Moore may have won the best actress award, the theme of her movie is just as awful. It's definitely time to stop watching the Golden Globes, based on where they're going.

Just a short time after the terrorist attack in New Orleans, a march by Islamic terror supporters took place in New York City at Times Square, calling for another intifada (via Breitbart):

Several hundred demonstrators called for an intifada on Wednesday at an anti-Israel protest in New York City’s Times Square to mark New Year’s Day.

Attendees chanted “Resistance is glorious — we will be victorious,” “We will honor all our martyrs,” and “Gaza, you make us proud.” They carried signs that said “Zionism is cancer,” “No war on Iran,” and “End all US aid to Israel.”

“There is only one solution — Intifada revolution,” they chanted, using a common refrain at anti-Israel rallies in the US. “Intifada,” Arabic for “uprising,” is associated with the Second Intifada, a period of terror attacks in Israel in the early 2000s marked by suicide bombings.

Speakers at the Wednesday rally urged attendees to recommit to anti-Israel activism in the new year.

“2024 was a year of struggle against the crime of Zionism,” a speaker told the crowd. “We will be here every single year for generation after generation until total liberation and return.” [...]

A handful of pro-Israel counter-protesters showed up to wave Israeli and American flags on the sidelines of the demonstration, while heckling the anti-Israel activists. A Jewish retiree led chants of “Get a job” directed at the protesters.

Arguments broke out between the two sides situated on opposite sides of a metal barrier. One anti-Israel protester shouted “Hamas,” “Go back to Europe” and “You’re all white people” at the pro-Israel demonstrators, and hurled racist slurs at a Black member of the pro-Israel group.

NYC, as it's been in the last decade or so, has really sunk to new lows if they allow this, which amounts to little more than exploitation of "free speech rights" as an excuse to espouse pro-violence slogans. All the officials in charge of the Big Apple have done is let their city become infested with vermin, much like Europe itself. This will have tragic consequences in the future.

A terrorist attack occurred near Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana, as a Muslim from Texas murdered 10 people celebrating New Year's Eve with a Ford truck (Hat tip: Breitbart):

The suspect accused of plowing a truck through a crowd on Bourbon Street early Wednesday morning has been identified by a law enforcement source and confirmed by the FBI as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar.

Police fatally shot him after the attack, which killed 10 people and injured 35.

The FBI said in a statement midday Wednesday that Jabbar is a U.S. citizen from Texas.

The FBI confirmed that Jabbar was carrying an ISIS flag in the truck, and authorities have said he was dressed in military gear. The FBI said they also found weapons and a potential IED were located in his vehicle.

Jabbar was driving a Ford pickup truck. The FBI said the truck appeared to be rented.

Law enforcement said they are investigating the possibility that the attack involved multiple suspects. They are looking into whether a different suspect rented the truck used in the attack.

A prominent FBI official used the now classic cliche that it "wasn't a terrorist attack". Even though some explosive devices were found, and the mayor of New Orleans made clear it was a terrorist attack. This is absolutely terrible, and makes clear the USA must combat the problem of jihadists living within.

Update: The Daily Wire found that the criminal donated to Democrats.

One of the worst presidents in USA history has passed away at the age of a century:

Former US President Jimmy Carter passed away on Sunday at the age of 100.

Carter’s son, Chip, said his father died in his home in Plains, Georgia. The former president entered home hospice care in February of 2023 after a series of short hospital stays.

He was the first US President to reach his 100th birthday.

Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. During his one term in office, he facilitated the 1979 peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, the first peace agreement signed between Israel and an Arab country.

In recent years, Carter had made controversial statements related to Israel. In 2013, he called on the European Union (EU) to label products coming from "illegal Israeli settlements".

In May of 2014, the former President supported the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) unilateral push to join international organizations in breach of the ongoing peace talks with Israel.

In 2015, Carter painted a bleak picture of the prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) while placing the blame for the deadlock on Israel.

“At this moment, there is zero chance of the two-state solution. These are the worst prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinians for years,” he said at the time, and then proceeded to say he didn’t think that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “has any intention” of making progress towards the goal.

“The Netanyahu government decided early on to adopt a one-state solution, but without giving them [the Palestinians] equal rights,” he charged.

Rosalynn Carter, Jimmy Carter’s wife of 77 years, died in November 2023. They are survived by their children Amy, Chip, Jack and Jeff, 11 grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren.

This is all stuff that the MSM won't look over objectively, and as noted here, the MSM's gone out of their way to rewrite history in his favor. Carter, alas, was a huge embarrassment, and did nothing positive for Israel, as the above news indicates.

Update: Daniel Greenfield has more.

Update 2: a contributor to CNN, of all places, was willing to admit Carter was an awful president.

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.

I once discovered Walmart was selling neo-Nazi t-shirts many years ago, and that was disgusting. Now, this year, it turns out they didn't change much over time, as they recently allowed sales of t-shirts glorifying Hamas and Hezbollah, and thankfully, those abominations were removed (via Jihad Watch):

US retail giant Walmart has apparently removed at least four shirts it offered for sale online that featured pictures of slain terror chiefs Yahya Sinwar and Hassan Nasrallah, after the garments were slammed as “outrageous” by an antisemitism watchdog.

One of the shirts showed former Hamas leader Sinwar’s face and his name broken into “Sin” and “war,” while another featured a doctored caricature of the terror mastermind firing a weapon while in combat gear.

Killed by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip in October, Sinwar led the Palestinian terror group in Gaza from 2017 until his death. He masterminded the October 7, 2023, invasion and massacre in southern Israel, in which thousands of Hamas-led terrorists killed some 1,200 people and kidnapped 251, sparking the ongoing war in Gaza.

The shirts were flagged by US-based watchdog Stop Antisemitism, which wrote in a post on X early Tuesday that “Walmart shoppers were horrified to find shirts glorifying Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar while online shopping.”

“Walmart, are you aware you’re selling apparel celebrating terrorism and violence against Jews?” the post continued, calling for the items to be removed immediately.

A third Sinwar shirt which featured a graphic of Sinwar above the word “RESIST” in the style of former US president Barack Obama’s “HOPE” campaign, also appeared to have been taken down between Tuesday and Wednesday, though the image still appears in online searches.

A shirt featuring a low-resolution picture of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, who was assassinated by Israel in a Beirut airstrike, had also been removed by Wednesday morning.

So again, Walmart's proven they're bottom of the barrel, morally or otherwise, for a commercial sales deparment store chain. Why must anyone continue to buy from them? They don't need any sensible person's money.

But this does also raise the question of whether t-shirts should be developed starring heroic figures from history. Perhaps that's something pro-Israel advocates should emphasize in reaction to this atrocity, and try to encourage admiration for more positive examples?

It's bizarre enough, to be sure, when people who supposedly follow Judaist customs want to convert wholesale, but that's the situation in the USA, if anywhere, and there's rabbinical courts who're now deciding to reject any who side with anti-Israel movements:

Leading rabbis in the United States and Israel are contemplating whether to prohibit Jewish conversion for individuals who have participated in anti-Israel demonstrations. In recent months, multiple rabbis, primarily in the US, have grappled with the issue of converting individuals who display clear anti-Israel sentiments yet seek to join the Jewish faith, forcing them to decide whether this constitutes a deal-breaker. While no actual ban has been implemented on any specific protester to date, such a decision appears to be imminent.

Rabbi Elchanan Poupko, a prominent young rabbi in the United States, has delved deeply into this question. He recently approached both chief rabbis, Rabbi Kalman Ber and Rabbi David Yosef, with this inquiry. Simultaneously, he consulted several well-known rabbis in Israel, with Rabbi David Stav explicitly ruling that such individuals should not be converted.

"In the past year, a renewed wave of hatred toward Israel has swept the world," Rabbi Poupko wrote to the chief rabbis. He noted that these individuals are effectively Israel-haters, even though they "claim they don't hate Israel and that all their talk stems from compassion for the Palestinian people and their desire to help them." These protesters "demonstrate in front of synagogues, study halls, and Jewish schools, harass Israelis, assault them, and engage in various other forms of persecution, as well as write about Israel as if they were evil murderers, blood libels similar to what Israel-haters did in previous generations."

Rabbi Poupko mentioned that at least one rabbinical court in the US encountered a case where an individual who participated in anti-Israel protests sought conversion, raising questions about the process.

"While they accepted the commandments to live as an observant Jew, and the court found no fault in their observance of Sabbath, kosher laws, and so forth, they discovered the individual had participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations and questioned whether this fact diminishes the acceptance of this person as a convert," he wrote.

The reason, according to him, is that since this person actively harms Jews, they distance themselves from Judaism, even if they are willing to accept the religious laws. "By choosing to participate with Israel's enemies against the majority of the Jewish people who live in the Land of Israel, even though they said 'your God is my God,' it is nevertheless inconceivable to convert them."

A vital point can also be made that if the alleged converts see nothing wrong with barbarism as embodied by Islam, that's another reason to shun them, since it contradicts Judaism's values entirely, right down to the 10 Commandments' opposition to murder. To be sure, these specific individuals are likely trying to convert in order to destroy the Judaist religion from within, and that's why they're dangerous. If they don't abandon support for blood libel propaganda against Israel along with acceptance of barbarism and sexual violence, they cannot be accepted as converts.

Rabbi Poupko, who has dealt extensively with this issue, wrote an article on the subject that is expected to be published in the Techumin journal. In the article, he noted, "There is no doubt that the rabbinical court has been given authority to accept or reject the convert based on their understanding of the worldview and commandments that the convert accepts upon themselves, and to what extent they believe they will continue on the path of Torah and commandments after conversion." Therefore, "Since this convert who demonstrates against Israel comes before a more general rabbinical court, the court can tell them that their worldview is not their worldview... they can and must tell them that they cannot accept them."

In such a case, he suggested, that convert is invited to go to a rabbinical court of ultra-Orthodox groups that oppose Israel, such as Satmar or Neturei Karta, and they will make the decision. "It's impossible to accept both positions. They cannot follow the conditions of Jewish law and customs of the Satmar Hasidic movement while also opposing the Jewish people's residence in their land."

It looks like he may have made a slight goof there, since the Satmar - and especially Neturei Karta - would be more than delighted to recruit people with views hostile to Israel. Come to think of it, it wouldn't be shocking if some women who're anti-Israel would have no issue with customs like shaving the hair off their heads and relying on wigs instead, and they'd probably see it coinciding perfectly with recent woke mentalities on the left like taking up an uglified body. In which case, one could say they deserve each other.

Anyway, when it comes to converts who do recognize why barbarism is wrong, the rabbinical courts would do well to make the Judaist religion look welcome in the sense that women should not have to dress modestly, and can seek careers in fashion modeling, dance, music singing and stuff like that without acting like it's inherently wrong. After all, if anybody wishes to let women know they respect their femininity, the above point is an important one for how to do so. Orthodox Judaists would do well to remember that.

For this season, two movies are premiering that're alternately laughable or disgusting:

Gone are the days of “It’s a Wonderful Life” wholesomeness for Christmas Day in the Hollywood community.

This year’s theatrical releases for December 25 include a film being touted for its explicit sexual content and a gothic horror film remake about a vampire who becomes obsessed with a young woman and takes over her sleep, giving her graphic nightmares.

First up, “Babygirl” starring Nicole Kidman has been generating buzz ever since it was first released following the Toronto International Film Festival in September. The movie’s description says, “A high-powered CEO puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern.”

[...] Another movie having a Christmas Day release is “Nosferatu,” a horror film starring Johnny Depp’s 25-year-old daughter Lily-Rose Depp.

The movie, written and directed by Robert Eggers, is a remake of the 1922 silent film by the same name and both are based on Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” novel from 1897.

The description calls it, “A gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake.”

It's plenty bad the horror genre's become so dominant, and all the while, comedy's been all but kicked to the curb in today's Hollywood. And as for the Kidman starring vehicle, what's so special about a tale of an older woman/younger man affair? Many of these specific filmmakers would no doubt be unwilling by contrast to produce a film about a older man/younger woman affair. We could do without this latest example of what Hollywood hypocrisy led to. The film industry in the USA now is just so creatively bankrupt.

According to this news, the publishers of Evie have developed some women's dresses through a fashion affiliate of theirs that are something even religious Israeli women should consider:

A women’s magazine is going viral after introducing a new line of provocative dresses. While everyone is allowed to express their opinions, conservatives are missing the point.

Our culture is starved of beautiful things. Everything women are sold to wear is either casual clothes or made to make women appear more masculine. From oversized sweaters and pants to yoga leggings and matching sweatsuits, femininity is left out of the equation when designers craft our wardrobes.

Enter Evie Magazine. Evie has never claimed to be a conservative magazine. For goodness sake, its website boasts sex and relationship tips. However, it wants to be a magazine where women can find beauty and reconnect with their feminine style. Between the posts about the harms of birth control, marital advice and sweet Christmas traditions, they started a dress line with their brand Sundress.co.

Well it's definitely something feminine, and that's the point many alleged conservatives missed for ages. All these years, would-be conservatives went hysterical over stuff that's supposed to emphasize a woman's femininity, and is far from "porn" as the hystericals claim. In Israel, there's Haredis and their bleeding-heart supporters who've made things worse when they attack admirable outfits like these, and they have to stop this at once, because all it's done is give leftists ammunition to use against right-wingers in Israel and elsewhere. Of course, even leftists here have abandoned whatever respect they supposedly had for femininity (when they see nothing wrong with the Islamic niqab, that should make clear where they really stand), and any right-winger who doesn't want to give Judaism a bad name should embrace what Sundress is offering too. I'll definitely defend this dress on this side of the Atlantic. So congratulations to Evie and Sundress for designing these dresses. They're something Israeli women - including religious women - should wear too, for many reasons.

Breccan Thies talks about a new documentary about the UK's left wing establishment and what a problem it's become:

Liz Truss, the former British prime minister who only lasted 44 days in office, is sounding the alarm on the permanent bureaucracy, or the deep state, which she believes poses the biggest existential threat to Western civilization.

“The Prime Minister vs. The Blob,” a documentary from Palladium Productions and the Wall Street Journal Opinions section, dives into Truss’ short tenure as a case study in which a world leader can effectively be deposed by the self-proclaimed expert class of unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats (which the British not-so-affectionately call “The Blob”).

The film is available for free on the Wall Street Journal’s website.

Truss’ account of the problem in Britain is not unlike the rot experienced in the American administrative deep state, known as The Swamp: An arrogant group of technocrats who believe they should have the power to dictate their worldview to the populace and see the people of their own country as a cultureless and bitter enemy.

Well it should be noted even Truss didn't do enough to improve the dire state long dominant in the UK, but even so, of course the deep-state in Britain is a problem, and shouldn't be ignored. I'm sure this documentary is worth something, and let's hope somebody has what it takes to make one about France's deep state as well, because that's easily worse, and can't be ignored either.

So after at least a few years of this LGBT-pandering insanity, Biden and Harris, a few weeks before their administration ends, have withdrawn a terrible proposal:

The Biden-Harris administration on Friday officially withdrew a proposed Title IX rule that would have forced all publicly-funded schools to largely allow males to participate in female sports if the athletes “identify” as female.

The administration admitted that the decision to withdraw was because of public backlash, and the numerous lawsuits that were sparked from the gender rule-change.

“In light of the comments received and those various pending court cases, the Department has determined not to regulate on this issue at this time,” Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a five-page docket published Friday.

According to Cardona, the Department of Education received more than 150,000 public comments about the proposal, National Review noted. “Commenters offered a broad spectrum of opinions,” the docket said, adding, “there are multiple pending lawsuits related to the application of Title IX in the context of gender identity.”

I suppose the reason for this was mostly because the Democrats lost the recent election, and Donald Trump was reelected POTUS. Whatever, it's very fortunate this type of insanity has been abandoned, because even without it, more than enough damage was already done to women's rights and status as it is. A lot of damage that'll take whole epochs to repair.

Over the past 3 decades, a lot of abortion clinics in the USA closed, but it's not necessarily for the right reasons (via Daily Signal):

More than two out of every three abortion facilities in the United States have closed their doors since 1990 — but abortion still represents “a dark, bloody, hopeless stain on humanity,” according to a new report released on Tuesday.

A total of 667 abortion facilities are currently doing business in the United States, according to Operation Rescue’s 2024 annual survey of abortion facilities, three fewer than last year. That represents a sharp decrease from 706 in 2020 and a whopping 69% lower than the 2,176 U.S. abortion facilities operating in 1990, according to the report, which tracks the ebbs and flows of the U.S. abortion industry.

“There is no doubt that abortion facilities are struggling to survive in this post-Roe environment,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “As we conduct our extensive investigations, we continue to see evidence that abortion clinics are facing challenges hiring and keeping abortionists.”

As of the publication date, 29 abortion facilities had closed down or stopped committing abortions in 2024, and another 20 ceased seeing abortion-minded women in person, often choosing to distribute abortion pills. At the same time, 46 facilities opened or resumed carrying out abortions. Overall, the number of in-person abortion facilities decreased, from 670 to 667: 377 surgical abortion facilities and 290 that carry out chemical abortions alone.

But if you look at this through modern lens, is this happening for the right reasons?

Explanations for the falling number of abortions vary. Young people today report having less sex than their parents. Researchers have documented “decreases in all modes of partnered sex” between 2009 and 2018. Additional studies trace the decline to at least 1989.

Well this is obviously very bad. And making matters worse:

The report also documents the abortion industry’s increasing trend of stepping deeply into the transgender industry. “A significant number of independent abortion clinics are offering gender-subversion drugs, and most Planned Parenthood affiliates are capitalizing on this lucrative, population-reducing initiative,” notes Operation Rescue.

“An abortionist might spend an hour killing several innocent babies then spend another hour forever sterilizing vulnerable young people,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “These facilities are a dark, bloody, hopeless stain on humanity.”

This has got to be even more horrific. To be sure, universities have a lot of responsibility here, and that's one more reason why it'd be best to defund them after the whole debacle they're causing, along with Planned Parenthood.

Mark Tapson looks at the disturbing but perhaps unsurprising case of leftists who celebrated the murder of a CEO of a business:

Like practically everyone in the country, I have no love for the massive American healthcare bureaucracy or for a medical profession that was exposed by the COVID pandemic as being riddled from top to bottom with greedy liars. I would wager that most Americans have either personally experienced medical malpractice/indifference or know someone who has; outrageous tales of systemic heartlessness abound. The collapse of trust in our healthcare system over the last several years, like the collapse of our trust in the news media, has been well-deserved. So yes, people are right to be fed up and to expect better. But does it really need to be said that targeting healthcare industry executives for assassination is not only not the solution, but is also morally wrong?

Apparently it does need to be said, because the widespread, open celebration over the recent murder of one such CEO and the surge of popular support for the suspect are very disturbing. They are reminiscent of the ghoulish celebration over the October 7, 2023 massacre of Israelis, perceived as genocidal occupiers, and the defense of the Hamas subhumans who perpetrated it (“You don’t get to choose how we resist,” was the cruel slogan declared by those who sought to justify the terror group’s war crimes).

United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was murdered last Wednesday at 6:46 a.m. outside the Midtown Hilton Hotel in New York City by a hoodied gunman. Surveillance video shows the assassin slipping up behind the oblivious Thompson, aiming a silenced pistol a few feet from his back, and firing three times.

The response from many media talking heads and social media accounts was swift and shockingly exultant. The gist of it all was that Thompson, as the chief honcho of an insurance company perceived to be responsible for tens of thousands of patient deaths from the callous denial of treatment coverage, deserved an equally callous extrajudicial execution. For example, former Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz (who admittedly is unhinged), told Piers Morgan that she felt “joy” over Thompson’s murder. Another example: a Columbia professor self-described as “anti-violence” and “Commie” tweeted his disdain for “multimillionaires” like Thompson and highlighted the deaths of Americans for whom Thompson was supposedly responsible. Predictable comparisons of the CEO to Hitler and other Nazi monsters littered the internet.

The United Healthcare exec left behind a wife and two children, but that elicited no sympathy from the assassin’s defenders. “Fuck his family too,” tweeted Mike Figueredo, self-described on social media as “Host of The Humanist Report, co-host of The Leftist Mafia” to his nearly 122,000 followers.

So despite there likely being no solid evidence to prove the insurance company had any responsibility, something hospitals were more likely to have, the monsters spoken about engaged in their repulsive behavior anyway. Interesting analogy made about the leftist responses to October 7, 2023, since it further proves what lack of love for life these ideologues actually have. What this current case suggests is that there's leftists out there looking for cheap excuses to claim they're against abuse of the medical industry, which unfortunately is phony. And now, they once again throw away morality for the sake of perversions.

Geert Wilders visited Israel's Knesset this week, and warns what could be the fate of the globe if Israel falls to Islam:

Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana awarded the Jabotinsky Prize for Liberty to Dutch MP Geert Wilders this week as the Party for Freedom (PVV) leader toured Israel, where he held diplomatic meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, and members of the Israeli cabinet.

“This award is a fitting tribute to a man who, for so long, embodied Jabotinsky’s courage and conviction. He has confronted the lies propagated by institutions like the ICC [International Criminal Court], which distort justice and reward terror. In America, we are seeing President Trump assemble a dream team. Geert brings that same optimism to Europe, where it is needed even more,” Speaker Ohana said of the main power behind the government of The Netherlands.

Wilders, a leading critic of radical Islam, has long been a staunch supporter of the Jewish state, having volunteered for a year in the West Bank during his youth. During his diplomatic mission to the country this week, Wilders continued to advocate for Israel’s rightful control of the West Bank, describing the Jordan Valley settlements in Judea and Samaria as Israel’s “bulletproof vest” without which it would cease to exist as a country.

Upon receiving the award from the Knesset, Wilders said: “This is not the time to be silent, but to stand up and support Israel. After the October 7, 2023 massacre, where 1,200 innocent Jewish lives were lost, the world was shocked, but as so often, unfortunately, only for a short time, after which too many countries, politicians and institutions like the UN and the ICC started bashing Israel for rightfully defending itself and its people against an existential threat.”

Wilders said that his mission to Israel was intended to show his “full and never-ending support” against the “evil powers” of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The PVV leader lamented that alongside the hatred of Jews by radical Islamists, the anti-Israel sentiment is being driven by the “self-hatred of woke Westerners who no longer believe in fighting for the truth.”

The Dutch populist reiterated his warning that should Israel fall in its battle, the “West will be next” and therefore wished to demonstrate by his journey to Israel that there are still “political leaders in Europe that are not afraid to come here and say out loud, here and in Europe, very clear, that we will never, ever abandon you and we’ll be always at your side.”

With or without Donald Trump, however, the battle against the Religion of Peace must continue, and it's good Wilders is a realist. And since the Netherlands is a subject here, there's also news about a Muslim woman sentenced to a decade in prison for enslaving a Yazidi woman (via Jihad Watch):

A Dutch court Wednesday sentenced a woman to 10 years in prison for keeping a woman from the Yazidi minority as a slave after joining the Islamic State group in Syria.

The court in The Hague convicted the 33-year-old from Hengelo in eastern Netherlands, identified as Hasna A, for “enslavement, membership of a terrorist organization, promoting terrorist crimes, and endangering her young son.”

She traveled to Syria in 2015 with her son, aged four at the time, the court said. She married an IS fighter and had children with him.

Between May to October 2015, she lived with another IS fighter, who kept a Yazidi woman as a slave.

Hasna A. made the Yazidi woman do household chores for her and look after her son, the court ruled. [...]

According to public broadcaster NOS, Hasna A was repatriated in November 2022 to the Netherlands from a Syrian prison camp with 11 other Dutch women and their 28 children.

After she's out of prison, they'd do well to exile her altogether, and if she needs to be banished to Syria again, so be it. There's plenty of other jihadists in Europe who could be sent to a hellhole like that, among several other Muslim areas. And all that aside, Israelis shouldn't hesitate to voice their support and defense of any Europeans who're realists.

Mace, the Republican Congresswoman who wants to put a stop to the harm the LGBT movement is doing to children and women, was assaulted by an activist at Capitol Hill:

An arrest has been made after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) was allegedly attacked at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday night by an assailant she claimed was an LGBTQ activist.

In a post on X, Mace characterized the man as an LGBTQ activist, as Breitbart News reported.

“I was physically accosted at the Capitol tonight by a pro-tr*ns man. One new brace for my wrist and some ice for my arm and it’ll heal just fine. The Capitol police arrested the guy. Your tr*ns violence and threats on my life will only make me double down. FAFO,” she said while imploring people to “Hold the Line.”

U.S. Capitol Police confirmed the incident, noting they arrested a person accused of assaulting a lawmaker.

Which is discussed in the following:

This is the identity of the suspect arrested over the assault: https://t.co/62S881geHd

— Andy Ngo 🏳️‍🌈 (@MrAndyNgo) December 11, 2024

That scumbag must be incarcerated away from all women and children whom he clearly poses a danger to. Thank goodness Mace is okay, and this incident's been ground to a halt by capitol police.

Here's an excerpt from Jesse Petrilla's recent book, "If It Takes a Thousand Years: From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them", which explains why, so long as Islam rules countries like Afghanistan, nation-building there won't be possible:

I was serving in the U.S. Army as a Liaison Officer to the Afghan secret police, and facilitated the interrogations of over 400 captured Taliban and Al-Qa’eda members while there. A Taliban leader once told me “You have me in a cage, my fight is over for now, but my children will fight you, and if they don’t win, their children will fight you. If It Takes a Thousand Years, we will win.” Although it didn’t take the Taliban a thousand years to win the battle of Afghanistan, it demonstrates the drive that our jihadist enemies have. They fight generational wars against the West as a whole.

When analyzing our Islamic extremist enemies, it is important for the American people to understand the tribal mindset that so many of our enemies come from. Islam developed from tribal cultures, and many tribal cultures over the past 1,400 years developed under Islam. The Islamic world itself is divided into what I would describe as tribes; you have the Sunni tribe, the Shia tribe, and within that are thousands of other tribes, one of the most recent being the “Palestinian” tribe which has become somewhat of a self-appointed identity by various lost members of other tribes. But in Afghanistan, tribalism is at a level that is virtually unparalleled in the world.

It is human nature to coalesce together into groups, but when you add Islam to the mix, it fuels different dynamics that are completely alien to Westerners. The tribal mindset is so vastly different than our own that it often makes it impossible to reason with them, and they will not respond logically or rationally as you might assume an American or other Westerner would. To Westerners, the tribal mindset may contain many elements that are quite shocking and deeply disturbing.

Part of our training upon arrival in Afghanistan included multiple briefings on Islamic and Afghan culture, since we would be working with locals on a daily basis. In one such briefing, the Afghan-American man leading the discussion began by stating; “You must understand that everything about your way of life in America, is completely different in this planet.” He quickly corrected himself to say “in this country,” but his misspeaking was not too far from the truth. From the way people say hello to the way they go to the bathroom, everything is different, and it is like another world to a Westerner.

In Pashtun tribal law, the largest tribe in Afghanistan comprising almost half the nation, there is something known as khun, or blood money. It can be paid to make amends for various transgressions such as murder, property damage, theft, kidnapping, etcetera. In addition to khun, women can be given to become sex slaves as well as female babies to eventually turn into sex slaves. Women and female babies count as two-thirds of the khun.

Just as in every other part of the Islamic world, Pashtun women have far less status than men. To divorce a woman, the man only needs to declare “I divorce thee” three times publicly. Many Pashtuns also believe that women have something called the “evil eye,” that they have special powers and the ability to cause bad things to happen.

In Pashtun tribal law, if a woman is kidnapped by force, and coerced to consent to marry her kidnapper, but she does not get her father’s permission, the father has the right to kill her. Any inclination of a woman having dishonored the family is rapidly met by her murder. In one of the detainee interrogations, I was truly shocked and saddened when the detainee was describing his family, and nonchalantly said “I have eight children, I had nine but one of my daughters dishonored the family and so I killed her,” a story I unfortunately would hear similar versions of on more than one occasion from multiple detainees.

With women and children relegated to 2nd-class status via Islamic sharia, it's no wonder things are as horrific there as they still are. That the government of Dubya did nothing to prevent many of these repulsive cases behind the scenes is another reason Afghanistan's "liberation" was doomed to failure. We must hope Donald Trump's incoming government will do whatever possible in the meantime to reverse what Biden's bunch enabled upon retreat. But it's doubtless going to be a very long, grueling trip to put an end to the suffering there.

Donald Trump sent a stern warning to the Hamas demanding the release of all the Israeli hostages they took on October 7, 2023:

In the waning days of the Biden administration, President-elect Trump is bucking his predecessor's "don't" doctrine as a deterrent to foreign adversaries, instead issuing tough warnings before even taking office.

"If the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity," Trump warned Hamas on his Truth Social account Monday.

"Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East – But it’s all talk, and no action!" Trump added.

Benjamin Netanyahu also praised Trump's approach:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday for the latter’s “strong statement” calling on Hamas to release the 101 hostages it has held in Gaza for 424 days.

“It is a forceful statement, which makes it clear that there is only one responsible for this situation, and that is Hamas,” the Israeli premier said.

Netanyahu addressed the president-elect’s remarks ahead of an Israeli government meeting in Nahariya, a northern city that has often been the target of cross-border attacks by Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon over the past 14 months.

“Hamas needs to release the hostages,” Netanyahu said. “President Trump put the emphasis in the correct place, on Hamas, and not on the Israeli government, as is customary in some places.”

Trump has done an important service, exactly what Joe Biden failed to do, and serious action will need to be taken against Hamas even after Trump reenters office again. Serious action will also need to be taken against Hezbollah as well, since they still remain a serious threat.
