Christians and Jews Are Now Second Class Citizens in the UK

If you are Jewish and openly wear a Star of David necklace, you can be told to hide it as it might be offensive to Muslims. But Muslims who block traffic to pray or protest, no problem. Muslims who commit crimes? Not a problem. The speech police (an actual part of the UK’s law enforcement) can arrest some- body who they believe MAY “cause offense” to somebody. 

But when Muslims hold rallies explicitly calling for the murder of Jews and Christians, nothing happens to them. In fact, the British police do their best to protect Muslims. Do you know who are often arrested? British citizens holding Union Jack flags! The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe) notes that in 2023, there were 2,444 anti-Christian hate crimes reported across 35 European countries. 

In England and Wales alone, 702 incidents were recorded between April 2023 and March 2024, representing a 15 percent increase compared to the previous year. From the OIDAC: A study highlighted in the report surveyed 1,562 respondents from dif- ferent Christian denominations and age groups in the UK. It found that 56 per cent of respondents reported experiencing hostility and ridicule when discussing their religious beliefs, rising to 61 per cent among those under 35. Additionally, 18 per cent of respondents felt they had been disadvantaged in their workplace due to their Christian faith. In April, Vice President J.D. Vance spoke at a National Conservatism event and rightly said:

“UK will be the first Islamist country with nuclear weapons.” 
 
A just released video shows that on August 29, London police arrested a Jewish man wearing a small Star of David necklace because they said his necklace would “antagonize” Muslims who were protesting.

If you think it can’t happen here, just imagine what would be happening today if Kamala Harris was in the White House and Democrats controlled Congress. Robert J. O’Neill, the SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden, posted on X: 

“Since NYC is about to elect a jihadi, communist mayor and Hamas is on our college campuses, does it really matter if I carry more than 3.4 oz of mouthwash onto an airplane?”

Why did America save Great Britain in WWII if it is morphing into Nazi Germany? Click here to watch the video.  

Here's more below, and this is the tip of the iceberg showing the demise of Great Britain.  Actually, a 100 year old WWII British navy veteran wonders if the sacrifices his generation made to save the UK was worth it saying:

“I can see in my mind’s eye those rows and rows of white stones.  All the hundreds of my friends, everybody else, who gave their lives.  For what?  The country of today.  No, I’m sorry, the sacrifice wasn’t worth the result that it is now."

“You won’t shove a Palestinian state down our throats: we will not commit national suicide just because you are weak …Giving the Palestinians a state near Jerusalem after October 7th is like giving al-Qaeda a state in New York City after 9/11.”—Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; September 25 United Nations General Assembly

World War I was touted as the war to end all wars.   Surely that was going to be the end of mass killings, with about 80 million worldwide dead as its backdrop.   In reality, it laid the groundwork for the outbreak of WWII.  

The United Nations was founded in October 1945. Fifty countries were the original members who (insert violins here) came together to prevent future global conflicts and promote international cooperation.

Today there are 193 member nations and if you went down the list, you’d find that many lean more toward Stalin/Hitler than Roosevelt/Churchill, and are heavily dominated by Islamic nations whose views are antithetical to western civilization.  

Members can hear what is being discussed in any of the six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. The United Nations will soon celebrate its 80th anniversary, but as President Trump shared in his speech to the General Assembly, overall, it has become an impotent body. 

“What is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN has such tremendous potential… All they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter, and then never follow that letter up. It’s empty words — and empty words don’t solve war.”

“Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should, too often, it is actually creating new problems for us to solve… The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders… The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them.” 
 
For decades, there’s been talk about the United States leaving the United Nations. Ain’t gonna happen. The left leaning UN should still exist and the United States should always be a member because we are the world leader and have immense influence. However, the UN should relocate to a more lunatic-friendly environment such as The Hague, Netherlands. Then most of the nations can join hands and spend their days applauding Hamas, listening to Greta Thunberg and issuing news releases about climate change. 

Where's the UN when Muslims are slaughtering Christians world over.  Nigeria has become a slaughterhouse as Muslims continue killing Christians. More than 7,000 Christians have been killed so far this year.

The killings started in 2009 when Boko Haram wanted to establish a caliphate. Since then, Inter-society estimates that nearly 200,000 civilians have been killed. Most are Christians but Boko Haram also kills liberal Muslims.

Christians are fleeing Syria rather than wait around for the new regime to murder more of them, which has happened. They are going to neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey.

The Druze community in Syria is also being slaughtered. More than 600 have been killed, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The only country that seems to care about the Druze minority is Israel, which sent in defense to protect the dwindling Druze population.

Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, is a frequent guest on conservative networks. Speaking on Fox News in July, Dr. Jasser said:

“The world has grown tragically used to Syrian suffering. More than half a million people have been killed. Over 13 million have been displaced. Cities, like my ancestral hometown of Aleppo, have been reduced to rubble. And yet, from the ashes of Bashar al-Assad’s family reign, a new authoritarianism is emerging, this time driven not by secular fascism, but by religious supremacism . . . 

As a Syrian American, my heart aches for what has become of my ancestral homeland. As a physician, I cannot detach myself from the human suffering behind each headline. And as someone who has spent decades warning of the rising threat of Islamism, I am sounding the alarm: a new tyranny is taking root in Syria, cloaked in religious language, but every bit as dangerous and destructive as the last. 

The importance of exposing, understanding, and confronting early inflection points in Syria towards yet another tyranny after over 55 years of Ba’athist military dictatorship cannot be overstated.”

Violence, instability, murder, and dystopia follow societies dominated by Muslims and socialists.  Christians, Jews and other non Islamic groups are being slaughtered by Muslims and the world’s silence is deafening!

Christian Persecution, Part VIII

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

 ran this piece on Saturday  Charlie Kirk Highlights Freedom Center Reporting on Christian Genocide, asking, “Did you know 125,000 Christians have been murdered and 19,000 churches destroyed by Muslims in Nigeria?”  And the chances the vast majority of people in the US don't know, a bigger majority in the EU don't know, but I'm betting a large number of those living in the Middle East know all about it and are rejoicing. 

In Pakistan Muslims are attacking churches, the Bible, desecrating their holy symbols, buring down their homes and burning people alive, and it's a deliberate effort that's gone on for decades, with the tacit approval of their government, a member of the United Nations.  They're not only violating their obligations under the rules of the United Nations they're violating the rules of their own constitution, articles 20, 25, 36, that guarantee religious freedom, equal rights, protection for minorities, women and children.  

In Muslim dominated nations treaties, constitutions, and laws that prevent their vile murderous criminal behavior are simply ignored, and the governments of those nations are party to that.  Why?  Because that's Islam!  And Islam isn't a religion, it's a criminal political movement masquerading as a religion that allows them to be what they started out as, Arab marauders, and now their criminality is sanctified by Allah as holiness.

Trump Can End Obama’s Christian Genocide in Africa

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

Beginning with the Obama administration, Muslims murdered over 125,000 Christians in Nigeria. This revelation in the latest report from the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law documents a Christian genocide that has been taking place in Africa, enabled by Barack Obama and the State Department, and carried out with the complicity of the media.

Even as over 125,000 Christians were murdered, over 1,000 Christian communities shattered and 19,000 churches destroyed, the media has buried the regular massacres, including the latest massacre in which 160 Christian villagers, many of whom were burned alive, were killed, on the ‘back pages’ even as it trumpets false Muslim claims of a genocide taking place in Israel.

Every Hamas claim appears on the front pages even when there’s not a single shred of evidence to sustain it, but actual massacre scenes in Nigeria, burned churches, bullet-riddled bodies and child survivors, rarely make the evening news. And when they do, the term ‘genocide’ is never used the way that it is constantly deployed in Gaza on behalf of Hamas.

Instead the media denies that the massacre of over 125,000 Christians is a genocide, denies that the Muslim killers, no matter how often they declare this, are motivated by Islam, and rejects the idea that there is any role for America in preventing the genocide except by defusing Muslim grievances by allowing them to seize power and turn Nigeria into an Islamist tyranny.

This ‘Arab Spring’ playbook took off under Obama and it is no coincidence that the beginning of the Christian genocide dates back to the first year that he took office. Rather than condemning the massacres of Christians, the Obama administration claimed that the real problem was that the Nigerian military and law enforcement were too aggressive in fighting Islamic terrorism.

According to the Obama administration, Muslim massacres of Christians were really a retaliation for excessive force being used by the military against the Jihadists. The State Department pressured the Nigerian government to address Muslim grievances, made aid conditional on ‘reforms’ and the reduction of the use of force, and denied that religion was the root cause.

Even as Republicans urged the Obama administration to designate Boko Haram, an Islamic Jihadist group affiliated with Al Qaeda, as a terror group a parade of State Department officials told Congress that “religion is not driving extremist violence”, argued that Nigeria’s “religious and ethnic diversity is one of its greatest strengths” and contended that the answer was “to press for a change to its (Nigeria’s) heavy-handed approach to the security threats in the north”.

Two years before the kidnappings of girls by Boko Haram that made #BringBackOurGirls into a hashtag, the New York Times ran an op-ed titled, “In Nigeria, Boko Haram Is Not the Problem” which described the group as “peaceful”, claimed that “there is no proof that… Boko Haram even exists” and blamed Nigeria’s Christian president, Jonathan Goodluck, for the violence.

They got their way when former Muslim dictator Muhammadu Buhari returned to power with the assistance of the Obama administration. Buhari, a ruthless killer, had previously warned that if he were not allowed to take power, “By Allah, the dog and the baboon will be soaked in blood.” His Muslims followers had lashed out after previous election defeats by assaulting Christians.

Rather than being critical of a former dictator who had threatened violence taking power, the Obama administration championed Buhari and the violence against Christians grew. Fulani Muslim herdsmen were empowered to massacre Christian herdsmen and drive them off their own land. The International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law states that not over 1,110 Christian communities were destroyed and 20,000 square miles of land were seized.

In 2020, the Trump administration finally listed Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” on religious freedom. It was not a gamechanger, but it at least began the process of expressing American concern over the Christian genocide taking place and offered a warning to Buhari.

However, next year, the Biden administration took power and reverted to the Obama administration’s old policy, removing Nigeria from the list of countries where religious persecution is taking place with no justification. Secretary of State Blinken, who visited and cheerfully chatted with Buhari, refused to answer questions about the pro-genocide move.

Year after year, the Biden administration refused to list Nigeria, even as it became known as “the deadliest country for Christians in the world”.

“There is no justification as to why the State Department did not designate Nigeria or India as a Country of Particular Concern, despite its own reporting and statements,” U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom chairs Abraham Cooper of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Rev. Frederick A. Davie, an African-American Obama appointee, warned.

The International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law is now asking the Trump administration to relist Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’, to list the Fulani Jihadists massacring thousands of Christians as terrorists and to bar Imams involved in supporting the atrocities from the United States. In the face of the mass murder of Christians, these are not big requests and they would signal that the United States is at least paying attention to the killings.

Unlike the atrocity propaganda that the media pushed for Muslim territories like Yemen, Gaza and Afghanistan, the United Nations will never call for intervention or sanctions, the New York Times or Tucker Carlson will never highlight the plight of Christians being killed by Muslims, and the streets won’t be filled with protesters crying out against the Islamic genocide of Christians.

But President Trump has shown that he has the power to take an issue that no one in the media wants people to pay attention to and make it front page news. He did it with the ethnic cleansing in South Africa and he can do it with the genocide in Nigeria.

Obama enabled the Muslim genocide of Christians in Nigeria. President Trump can help end it and can bury one more ugly legacy from a man who did so much damage around the world.

Events From Around the World

By Robin Itzler

Editor's Note:    This is one of the commentaries selected from Robin's weekly newsletter Patriot Neighbors.  Any cartoons will have been added by me.   If you wish to get the full edition, E-mail her at PatriotNeighbors@yahoo.com to get on her list, it's free. RK 

Germany: According to a poll by the Forsa Institute for Social Research and Statistical Analysis if a national election was held today, Alternative for Germany (AfD) would receive 26 percent of the vote. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s conservative bloc, was in second place.

Israel: Energy company Leviathan just signed a $35 BILLION deal to supply natural gas to Egypt. This is Israel’s largest export deal in the nation’s young history.   After several years, a luxury eco-hotel that international film star Leonardo DiCaprio has 10 percent ownership, has been approved. The 365 rooms on 14 floors will be built at the Herzliya Marina near Tel Aviv.

 Spain: On August 3, beach goers were enjoying the sand, sun and water at Sotillo Beach in the Granada town of Castell de Ferro. Suddenly, a boat came close to shore and several migrants (believed to be from North Africa) jumped out fully clothes to illegally enter Spain. Organically, Spaniards rose up to stop the invasion, beating and holding the men until police arrived per the Spanish paper El Mundo. 

UK: According to a recent Ipsos survey, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has taken a nine-point lead over Labour: 34 to 25 percent. Conservatives only had 15 percent. If the general election were held now, Farage would be elected prime minister. 

“Free speech has NOT been abolished in the UK. And we’ll jail anyone who says it has been.” Keir Starmer, United Kingdom Prime Minister

UK Trans Judge Appeals to European Court to Challenge ‘Sex Is Biological’ Ruling - Britain’s “first transgender judge” is attempting to go over the head of the UK Supreme Court, appealing to European judges in Strasbourg in a bid to overturn a ruling earlier this year affirming biological sex.....

British Government 'Lost Track' of over 150,000 Migrants - The British government has admitted that it has no idea whether over 150,000 legal migrants who entered the country on social care visas are still in the UK or not.......

UK’s Starmer Regime Creates National Internet Intelligence Team to Monitor Anti-Migrant Speech - This is what a police state looks like......

Warning From The United Kingdom For American Christians We cannot allow our nation to go the way of the UK. It's time to stop being passive and actively and unabashedly further the relevant teachings of Jesus in the public square .........

Why Doesn't the World Care About Christians?

 Per a United Nations report on global humanitarian aid, in 2024 Gaza received approximately $1.8 BILLION out of a $4 BILLION total. However, according to the American Jewish Congress, only 30-40 percent reached civilians in Gaza, the rest went in Hamas’s pockets.

Why aren’t Christians receiving the billions of dollars in aid?

Christian singer prevented from holding planned concerts in Canada  - Christians are one of the most persecuted religious groups worldwide (perhaps the most persecuted), and hatred of Christians fluorishes in postmodern Canada. More than one hundred churches have been torched since 2021, following the unfounded claim that “soil disturbances” on the grounds of the former Indian Residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia were the remains of 215 First Nations children who attended that school. Four years have passed, and still no excavations, perhaps because authorities fear being caught in a lie(?). 

Meanwhile, churches continue to burn, and there is seemingly no will to prosecute arsonists. Of course, we must be fair to the Canadian justice system. They are much too busy persecuting and prosecuting peaceful protesters and seeking seven- and eight-year jail terms for Freedom (Trucker) Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber respectively. For good measure, they are even seeking to impound Barber’s truck, thereby depriving him of his livelihood should he avoid jail time. You can’t make this up................Since when does religious freedom require a permit from government?..............

Christians and Jews Are Under Attack!

By Robin Itzler 

Editor's Note:  This is one of the commentaries selected from Robin's weekly newsletter Patriot Neighbors.   If you wish to get the full edition, E-mail her at PatriotNeighbors@yahoo.com to get on her list, it's free.

Christians and Jews throughout the world are mocked, harassed, attacked and/or killed.  Global antisemitic incidents In the Wake of Hamas' War on Israel are mounting worldwide.   Leftists, who pray at the altar of communist/socialist/Marxist government, want us to cower in fear. We must not be afraid!  Here are some examples of Christians and Jews under attack in North America, Europe, and Africa.  

* Canada:   

  • Christian singer prevented from holding planned concerts in Canada - Larsen Since when does religious freedom require a permit from government?.......  Sean Feucht is an American Christian religious singer with conservative views. He was scheduled to hold several concerts starting in July but the public Parks Canada cancelled his permit.  Then a (private) Montreal church offered to let Sean Feucht sing. But antifa thugs protested on the church’s steps. Reports are that the Montreal police stood by and did nothing while antifa brutes took over the front of the church and threw smoke bombs into the church. Reminder: In the 1930s, German police stood by and did nothing when Nazi brown shirts attacked Jewish shops. 
  • City fines Montreal church for hosting MAGA-affiliated singer Sean Feucht - The City of Montreal has fined a local church for hosting a concert by the U.S.-based Christian musician Sean Feucht. Feucht’s controversial views and his status as a rising star in the MAGA movement have led officials to cancel his concerts in several Canadian cities in recent days.....
  • Canada’s Jewish Community Under Siege: Holocaust Memorial Defaced in Ottawa, Jewish Protection. - On June 9, 2025, the Holocaust Memorial in Ottawa—just steps from Parliament Hill and the Canadian War Museum—was defaced with red paint in what appears to be yet another act of anti-Jewish hate. Despite the area being blanketed with surveillance cameras and cell tower stingray devices that capture real-time mobile data, no suspect has been identified. And no motive, we’re told, is known.....
  • Canadian prime minister effectively says all Canadians must unite around Muslim values - Mark Carney, the newly installed Prime Minister of Canada, recently gave a speech at an Eid al-Adha celebration in Ottawa. The event was hosted by the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC). In his speech, Carney told his fellow Canadians that “all of us must come together – around the values of Eid.”..........

*  United States:  

*  Cyprus:  

* France:  

  • The church in Sierck-les-Bains was repeatedly vandalized. - On the night of 13 July, the room adjoining the church in Sierck-les-Bains was vandalised. The white plastic door was completely destroyed. A week earlier, two teenagers had been arrested for setting fire to a chapel in the same municipality.

* Germany:  

  • St. Bonifatius Church in Münster was vandalized and remains partially closed. According to the local pastor, Dr Heike Köhler, the building has repeatedly been defiled with feces and littered with broken beer bottles. There have also been incidents of arson. Most recently, photographs of baptism candidates were deliberately set on fire. ..  
  • Under Siege: Germans Form Human Shield Around Synagogue as Muslims and Communists Target Jews. - On July 18, 2025, Munich witnessed a dark, all-too-familiar spectacle: a Jewish synagogue, not an Israeli consulate, not a government building, became the target of an organized pro-Hamas demonstration. Under the guise of political protest, left-wing extremists and Islamist radicals joined forces to glorify terrorism, vilify Jewish hostages as “war criminals,” and bring a message of hate to the doorstep of Germany’s Jewish community.....

* Nigeria: 

 *Congo:  

* Vienna:

* Greece:  

In Athens, a group of pro-Hamas activists vandalized an Israeli restaurant while shouting the usual antisemitic slurs.

* France:

* Spain: 

  • More than 50 French Jewish youths (ages 10-15) were removed from a Vueling Airlines flight for singing a Hebrew song. According to the Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain, antisemitic incidents in the country surged 321% in 2024 compared to the previous year.

Finally, it's clear Islam is intent on destroying western culture worldwide.  A few brave souls are speaking up, but more had better get with the program unless they want to find themselves reciting prayers to Mecca five times a day.

Christian Persecution: A Worldwide Horror Story That's Growing in Frequency and Intensity, Part VII

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

I'm going to start this article with this quote from an article I read some time in the past. However, I didn't link it, nor do remember who said it, but I think it's a good start to this piece, so I'm going to use it as it outlines what's going on in general all over the world. 

For decades, evangelical Christianity championed Israel and religious freedom. As a result, it often found itself clashing with supremacist strands of Islam. Deep concern over Christian persecution largely in Muslim-majority countries post-Soviet collapse fueled wariness of political Islam's aggressive forms. 

Recently, things have begun to shift. Some evangelical institutions in the US have begun to embrace woke ideologies, softening their stance on Islamism. Meanwhile, as evangelicalism wanes in the U.S. it is surging in the global south. There, Christians face radical Islam head-on, and staunchly pro-Israel positions remain in the ascendant. This shift is shaping new dynamics. In Iran, for example, evangelicals are quietly building the underground church's strength, and hoping for the fall of the regime. 

What is Islam all about?  The moral foundation of Islam and leftism is identical.  Hate, greed, envy, lust, violence, and the desire to attain absolute power in order to control everyone's life. In Islam that manifests itself in practices such as mass murder, rape, and violence of every sort, along with "practices such as child marriage, honour killings, female genital mutilation,all of which are rooted in doctrine, not cultural misunderstandings."   

  • Islam and the Children: What the Doctrine Demands, and What the West Is Ignoring.  - This article details how Islamic doctrine impacts children, both in Islamic societies and in the West. Drawing from primary Islamic texts — including the Koran, Hadith, and Reliance of the Traveller — it shows how children are expected to begin religious practices by age 7, are beaten by age 10 if they resist, and may be denied secular education. Practices such as child marriage, honour killings, and female genital mutilation are shown to be rooted in doctrine, not cultural misunderstandings.

It documents real-world consequences: the child martyrs of Gaza, the enslavement of Yazidi girls, the denial of education for Afghan girls, and the systemic rape of non-Muslim children by grooming gangs in the West. Meanwhile, Western children are being softened up through Islamic rituals disguised as cultural inclusion — kneeling in mosques, fasting for Ramadan, and celebrating ‘world hijab day’ in classrooms.

This article isn't just going to discuss the horrors Islam is perpetuating on humanity, it will link articles as source pieces, from Africa, America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.  This is a horror story that's worldwide, and growing.   Nearly 400 million Christians are being persecuted globally, with Islam and leftism, in all it's manifestations, as the driving forces for these horrors.  And Western civilization is either being silent, or actually in cooperation with this outrages.  

here's what happened in in February 2025.  In the Democratic Republic of Congo, which isn't democratic or a republic, seventy Christians, men, women and children were “tied up and decapitated with knives.”  

In Egypt young Christian girls are being kidnapped and being trafficked and the police do nothing.  Muslims are setting fire to churches, with the official position is these are "natural occurrences", and in Pakistan "a Muslim man twice abducted a married Christian mother of three children, raped her, fraudulently converted her to Islam, and fabricated an Islamic marriage.   Christians are abducted, humiliated and accused of crimes with no relief from authorizes.  

In France a Muslim immigrant imprisoned and murdered...the word used  slaughtered three Christians in a church in Nice.  In Spain “Islamic State terrorist organisation is threatening to attack Catholic cathedrals in Spain, in an organized and open attempt to destroy Christianity in Europe, which is also being done in Syria.

In Indonesian Muslims attack Christians demanding the rejection of Christian worship in their community, but that's nothing compared to the nightmare Christians face in Nigeria which is being called '“pure genocide” with Muslim terrorists “leaving a trail of bloodshed, destruction and despair”.  In Uganda a Christian evangelist was beaten and stabbed for leading "a 75-year-old Muslim widow known as Hasifa to Christ', all in public.  

‘Red Wednesday’ events to be held in over 20 countries to raise awareness of Christian - Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), an international Catholic charity, is organizing hundreds of activities in more than 20 countries for Red Wednesday, which is on November 20 this year. 
 
The global event aims at raising awareness of Christian persecution and religious freedom issues throughout the world. Initially a single day of solidarity, marked by illuminating churches and secular buildings in red, it has grown into extended initiatives in some areas, such as “Red Week” or “Red November,” featuring prayer vigils, testimonies, conferences, and exhibitions. Next week’s event is marked by the release of the 2024 edition of Persecuted & Forgotten?, a report highlighting conditions for Christians in 18 countries where persecution is severe. 
 
According to the report, most of these nations have seen conditions worsen or remain unchanged. ACN USA presented the report at the USCCB Plenary Assembly on November 12, encouraging U.S. bishops to support “Courage in Faith Week,” an initiative inviting bishops to advocate for persecuted Christians, offer Masses for martyrs, and engage their parishes in solidarity. 

Thousands of Christians Killed and Imprisoned for for Their Faith in 2024, Report Reveals In 2024, 4,476 Christians were murdered around the globe because of their beliefs. Another 4,744 were imprisoned. Over 7,670 churches and Christian properties were attacked, too.  Those numbers are reported by Open Doors—a global ministry dedicated to serving persecuted believers—which has released its 2025 World Watch List. The annual report reveals the top 50 countries where Christians are most likely to face severe consequences for their faith, from the loss of homes and jobs to imprisonment and death.

History is everything, and here are the articles I've been storing going back to some time which lays historical foundation for all that's discussed.

Who Really Bombed a Damascus Church?

By Daniel Greenfield  @ Sultan Knish Blog

After Muslim terrorists attacked the St. Elias church in Damascus, killing 25 Christians and wounding over 60 others, there were more questions than answers about the attack.

While the official Syrian government position is that it was a lone ISIS gunman, Christian witnesses report multiple attackers, and in Syria, ISIS is a term that conceals more than it reveals. Especially when the government is run by members of Islamic terrorist groups with their own ties to Al Qaeda and ISIS. A terrorist government that despite playing up to President Trump, to America and Europe is not actually very friendly to its Christian population.

Some of that coolness was conveyed by former Al Qaeda warlord Ahmed al-Sharaa’s statement which, despite false claims by the media, failed to call the murdered Christians “martyrs”. Syria’s Christians are equally cool to Al-Sharaa whose Al Qaeda terror group, then going under the name Nusra Front, had murdered priests and kidnapped nuns before being welcomed by the United States and Europe into the community of civilized nations and world leaders.

While news reports blamed ISIS, the official claim of responsibility came from a supposed group calling itself ‘Saraya Ansar al-Sunnah’ or the Sunni Brigades which had previously claimed credit for massacring members of Syria’s former Alawite ruling class. While Ansar al-Sunnah is active on social media, it’s not at all clear that the supposed terrorist group actually exists. SAAS claims to be active all across Syria, but its online presence is amateurish and it keeps revising its logo. After 5 months of attacks, actual information and intel on the group is negligible.

That may be by design.

Syria’s Jihadist landscape is littered with Al Qaeda and ISIS affiliates that underwent name changes and that entered or left coalitions. The most famous of them is the Al Nusra Front which had been set up under Al Qaeda and the Caliph of ISIS and was led by Al-Sharaa who then went by Abu Mohammed Al-Jolani before cutting a series of deals with Turkey and Qatar to have his Jihadi coalition, now calling itself Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, seize power and become the new government.

The path that led Al-Sharaa from a $10 million dollar reward by the State Department on his head to a meeting with the president began when he pulled out of a proposed merger with ISIS. Reports suggest that Al-Sharaa had agreed to the merger before pulling out and staying with the more moderate Al Qaeda under Ayman Al-Zawahiri who had replaced Osama bin Laden.

This led to a power struggle between Al Qaeda and ISIS with Sharaa heading up the Al Qaeda side in Syria. As Al Qaeda turned into a spent force, Qatar encouraged Sharaa and his terror group to rebrand. The Nusra Front changed its name to Jabhat Fatah al-Sham and later to the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham coalition. It stopped mentioning its ties to Al Qaeda and took over Syria.

Western nations then agreed to meet with and aid an Al Qaeda terror group once tied to ISIS.

Al-Sharaa or Al-Jolani’s entire story shows why names are illusory and can mean little. His terror group, which now runs Syria, underwent multiple name changes and is now considered a government. Who is actually lurking behind the SAAS name and who attacked the church?

When Al-Sharaa conducted his rebrand of the Nusra Front into JFS and then HTS, members of Nusra split off to form Hurras al-Din, a more explicit Al Qaeda affiliate, which was supposedly in conflict with HTS. But, curiously, Hurras al-Din announced it was closing down operations after HTS took over Syria. Next month, Saraya Ansar al-Sunnah or SAAS appeared out of nowhere.

SAAS may be Hurras al-Din or more exactly one of the operations rooms set up by HAD and other Jihadist groups to form a regional terror coalition. The throwaway name is a front. But the entire Syrian ‘opposition’ was one layer of fronts after another. One front would claim to be ‘secular’, ‘democratic’ and seeking to create a free Syria while another would be Al Qaeda.

The best way to understand Jihadist groups is not by which series of pseudonyms Al-Sharaa’s old allies are using while they massacre non-Sunnis in Syria, but by what they do. The most significant fact about SAAS is that they have avoided any attacks on HTS and its Jihadist ‘army’. The old Al Qaeda and ISIS groups targeted the Syrian military, SAAS however is killing Druze, Kurds, Alawites and Christians in a spasm of ethnic cleansing while avoiding fights with the same government and military that they have denounced as hypocrites and apostates.

If SAAS really believed its fatwas declaring Al-Sharaa and his government to be illegitimate apostates, it would be fighting them. Instead the Al Qaeda regime running Syria enjoys plausible deniability for the kind of massacres it was carrying out not all that long ago, while blaming the attacks on ISIS. Blaming the attacks on ISIS right now is as good as blaming them on the wind.

ISIS would not have given Al-Sharaa and his government a pass unless they had a backdoor arrangement. But the attackers are likely not ISIS, just members of the Jihadist coalition that we backed and continue to back, who are using a front to do what the ‘legitimate’ government can’t.

Listing the various front groups is an endless hobby for counterterrorism researchers, but is meaningless for anything except actionable targeting because the real backbone of Jihadist groups are smaller units, often from members of the same families, clans or tribes, or Jihadis who fought together frequently, who come and go from various branded terrorist groups.

As we have already seen with Al-Sharaa, who moved around Al Qaeda and ISIS, before becoming a moderate renaissance leader, a Jihadi can go through multiple incarnations and names which are just there to achieve his larger goals. HTS’s goal was to subjugate Syria under their particular flavor of Islamic law. That is what his government is dedicated to nothing no matter how it pretends otherwise. And what his government can’t do without alienating America and Europe, their fellow Jihadis who don’t wear suits and join the government will go on doing.

A decade after the whole Free Syrian Army hoax unraveled, we’ve fallen for a deadlier variant of the hoax all over again. And once again, Christians are being killed by the Jihadis we support, while we shake their hands and believe that they really are ‘moderates’.

The St. Elias church bombing is a test to see whether we will respond. If we do, then the Syrian government will go through a show of hunting down a few Jihadis to show off for us. Much as the Taliban play a game of hunting down ISIS-K members to blame for Islamic terrorism.

And if we don’t, the Jihadis in charge of Syria will know it’s open season on Christians.

But if we really don’t want to see more massacres of Christians, we should make it clear to Syria’s Al Qaeda government that we will hold it accountable for any future attacks on Christians by any Jihadists, no matter what names they go by or what identities they’re using right now.

We should also ensure that Syria’s Christians have the right to carry weapons in their own defense, rejecting any disarmament of Christians by the Al Qaeda government, and that they know America has their back. To do any less would be to add yet another betrayal to the list.

Who really bombed the St. Elias church? Whoever really did it, there are good odds that we once backed them or the Jihadi coalitions they were part of. And we still might be.

Observations From the Back Row With News and Views For March 22, 2025

By Rich Kozlovich 

I save a lot of articles dealing with every issue facing mankind, and my draft file is large, so, I've created ways of saving them for reference purposes by creating gazettes, and News and Views pieces, and I will be linking them as add on pieces in order to purge my draft files and still have the ability to reference that material.   

Starting on Monday I will be posting a new daily feature called News and Views.  And while I've posted articles under that name this will be different.  It will consist of a list of linked articles I think are newsworthy, and where possible I will categorize them topically,  posting it later in the news day as most sites will be done posting their pieces by then.   

Anything posted later will be part of the next day's list.  Anything that appears on Saturday or Sunday will be linked with the Monday News and Views post.  What appears below are pieces I've been saving for quite a while, some going back a ways, and some very current, but not in chronological order.  

What's included are articles dealing with:

Abortion, Academia, Autopen, California, Celebrity Views, China, Christian Persecution, Covid, Deep State Corruption, FBI, Democrats, DOGE, Economics, Tariffs, Education, Energy, Europe, Immigration, Justice, Middle East, Race Hustlers, Russo/Ukrainian War, Transgenderism, and Voter Fraud.  

While not listed chronologically, they're all listed topically and alphabetically.  As a result, this piece is unusually long, as a Word document it would be over 30 pages, all others in the future will be much shorter.... much shorter.... as this is just a catch up piece.

Abortion
 
Oregon’s governor establishes an ‘abortion provider appreciation day’ March 11, 2025 by Olivia Murray Does this mean the progressive left has finally and totally conceded that baby murder isn’t anything but a celebration to them? More

Academia

Columbia Crumbles - Money talks, even when you have a $15 billion endowment. So Columbia has acceded to the Trump administration’s demands to get back the $400 million in federal funding that Trump revoked over the university’s anti-Semitism........

Schools nationwide are watching Columbia with alarm; many fear a demand for similar concessions. Their primary concern: without freedom to follow their intellectual curiosity, the discoveries and innovations that fuel the U.S.’s economy will decline or even grind to a halt.

Yes, the “intellectual curiosity” to vandalize buildings and beat up Jews. It’s a pity: no doubt Mahmoud Khalil was just about to discover a cure for cancer. Now Syria or Algeria will get the benefit of his intellectual curiosity and spirit of innovation....

Ivy League university webinar says science is too male, too hetero, and too fetus-centric -  The presentation by two lefties was titled, “Is Fat Female? Evolution, Feminism, and Getting the Story Right.” According to a recent article on thecollegefix.com, during a recent online event at Cornell University, feminist ‘scholars’ discussed their concerns about science being too male, too “hetero,” and too “feto-centric.” Really. ........To recap: males are bad. Straight males are worse. Babies are bad. Fat can be good.........

Shalom, Mahmoud! - If Mahmoud really wanted to be a revolutionary at Columbia, he could have done something genuinely radical—joined the College Republicans, read the collected works of P.J. O’Rourke, or written a thesis on why Adam Smith is the most unappreciated intellectual of the last 500 years.   
 
America has many traditions—apple pie, baseball, and, thanks to Columbia University, mass-producing trust-fund revolutionaries with a soft spot for Hamas. But as it turns out, supporting terrorist organizations while enjoying a cushy student life in the U.S. isn’t quite as consequence-free as our academic betters would have you believe.

Enter Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia campus firebrand turned deportation candidate. ICE picked him up, shipped him off to Louisiana, the White House hit send on a two-word masterpiece—“Shalom, Mahmoud”—and suddenly, an entire generation of Ivy League agitators needed fainting couches and emotional support kombucha............

Send them home March 10, 2025 - It makes no sense for people, students or faculty, to come here and engage in illegal activities.  Cheers for the Trump administration. We learned yesterday that some students may going home sooner than expected. Here is the story:.....

College Can’t Punish Math Professor for Criticizing Low Academic Standards, Appeals Court Rules - Lars Jensen was nearly fired for handing out flyers about potential harm to the community from lowering the "academic level" of math classes. Oregon sows the wind, reaps the whirlwind in "staggeringly low" student proficiency. .....

Dershowitz: We Have to Go After All ‘Propaganda’ Studies Programs - On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz praised the Trump administration for ending $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University and stated that we have to “smash these bureaucracies, this intersectionality, and the DEI. All of this is destroying higher education.”  Dershowitz said that the Columbia move “is just the beginning. This is going to apply to Harvard and Yale and NYU and UCLA and the University of California. This is going to create a revolutionary effect on higher education and make sure that we get back to the day where colleges and universities educate instead of propagandizing. These universities today are not teaching their students how to think. They’re teaching them what to think in a propagandistic way.”..........

Trump’s defunding Columbia is great, but all academia is riddled with ideological madness March 9, 2025 by Andrea Widburg The $400 million pulled from Columbia is that it’s the first step in a journey of 1,000 miles and billions of taxpayer dollars......
 
Why a former Columbia professor is glad that the feds have yanked $400 million in funding from it March 11, 2025 by Thomas Lifson I almost cheered out loud when I read that the Trump administration has cancelled $400 million in funding for Columbia University ...........
 
Autopen 

Null and void: Autopen misstep means arrests are now on the table - Until today, the Democratic Party Deep State (DPDS) and its propaganda bureaus — once known as “news media” — have carefully avoided the Autopen scandal, because it hasn’t had any consequences that couldn’t be comfortably ignored.  But this morning, President Trump declared that all the pardons Joe Biden allegedly signed, during his final days in office, are null and void...........
 
Was Biden aware of anything? March 9, 2025 by Mike McDaniel If Joe didn’t know about those documents, if he didn’t sign them, who did?........
 
There Needs To Be An Investigation of Biden’s State of Mind  “They must now be made to testify in front of the American people.”..........
 
California
 
Schweizer: ‘Fool’s Gold’ Blows the Lid on California Corruption - If you think you know how bad things are in California, you don’t. If you think you know how corrupt the state’s leading politicians are, it’s worse than that. Sticky-fingered pols pushing woke policies have turned the Golden State into fool’s gold......
 
After blowing $9 billion on 'free' health care for illegals, California's Gov. Gavin Newsom asks for a bailout March 13, 2025 by Monica Showalter - Who didn't see this coming from ten miles away?...........
 
California tries to tear down the Castle Doctrine - That’s virtue signaling, California style. A few decades ago the movement for concealed carry began. Anti-liberty/gun cracktivists were outraged. There would be wild west gunfights everywhere! The streets would run with blood! Of course, none of that happened. More recently, the Constitutional Carry movement caught fire, and the same predictions of blazing gunplay were made and failed to materialize. More than half the states allow constitutional carry and every state allows concealed carry of some sort. No state that has adopted concealed or constitutional carry has repealed either.....

California Dems Offer Prayer to a Strange New God to Open Assembly Session -Okay, wait, I thought they worshiped Dylan Mulvaney. But if the Democrats are anything, they’re full of surprises, as we saw at the California state assembly on Friday. A Democrat assembly member offered a prayer to open the assembly session, as is the time-honored custom, but the prayer wasn’t to any deity that you’d learn about in the average world religions course, even in these latter days of American colleges and universities being reduced to little more than Antifa recruitment centers. The prayer was offered to none other than Beyoncé.

Celebrity Views

Singer Courtney Love ‘Getting British Citizenship’ Because America ‘Frightening’ Under Trump: ‘Like Cyanide Now’ - Singer Courtney Love has announced that she is soon “getting British citizenship” because she claims America is “frightening now” since President Donald Trump returned to the White House......She slammed America as “frightening now.”  “In terms of Trump, and particularly this group… it’s like emperor-core – like, [they’re] wearing million-dollar watches,”....... “It’s like cyanide now.”....... “I love London, it’s my favorite city and is the best place I’ve ever lived.............I’m left alone, there are laws here that protect me when I’m being outspoken, I like the friends I’ve made here'.......

Trump-O-Phobia Drives Some Americans to Questionable Greener Pastures Overseas Brian C. Joondeph They probably won't find this the 'solution' they think it is. More
 
My Take - Goodbye and good riddance
 

Americans Don't Want to Hear Celebrities Spew Their Political Beliefs - A new poll released this week confirms what many Americans already knew – the majority of people do not want to hear their favorite celebrities’ political opinions.  Late last year, Townhall covered how singer Taylor Swift announced on Instagram that she would be voting for Vice President Kamala Harris. Swift has over 284 million followers. But, a poll showed that more voters said that her endorsement would turn them away from voting for Harris than support her. ..............
 
Debra Winger, Joe Rogan: It’s hard out there for a Jew - Currently, we are experiencing the worst overt, monolithic Jew-hatred in American history.  One would think Jews would band together in battle against this threat.  But no — useful idiots and just plain ignoramuses have jumped to the head of the line to enhance the madness.  Has-been Jewish actress Debra Winger, of An Officer and a Gentleman and Terms of Endearment faded fame, recently exclaimed she had a debt to repay, presumably to the Jewish people. .......From the mid-1930s in Berlin, initially German Jews did not want to believe the evolving Jew-hatred emanating from the four corners of a once highly civil society.  But emanated it did, and ultimately six million Jews and others were murdered before the Nazi regime was vanquished.......
 
China 
 
How Mexico Became China’s Trojan Horse in U.S. Trade - Beijing has discovered a highly effective workaround to Trump’s tariffs that the media deliberately ignore.......The second Trump administration has refocused America’s attention on trade, tariffs, and national security—a conversation long overdue. But while pundits and policymakers wrangle over China’s economic warfare and Mexico’s growing defiance, few are paying attention to the real story hiding in plain sight..........China and Mexico aren’t just separate trade problems. They are one and the same..............
 
Active-duty soldiers indicted for disclosing sensitive government info to China - The DOJ decried the ‘persistent and increasing foreign intelligence threat facing our Army and nation.’ On Thursday, federal grand juries in the District of Oregon and the Western District of Washington handed down indictments against three individuals linked to the U.S. military.  Jian Zhao and Li Tian were both active-duty soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and the third, Ruoyu Duan, is a former soldier.........
 
The China Connection? It’s not racist to be concerned that Chinese spies are targeting vulnerable Chinese-American troops.......A dramatic illustration of how wokism is injuring US national security is currently on display in the nation’s news media. On March 7, a Portland Hoodline headline blared “Trio of U.S. Army Soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord Indicted for Selling Military Secrets to Chinese Interests”..............And yet here we are with three soldiers clearly of Chinese descent accused of successful espionage by selling secret information to Chinese agents. Is it not highly notable that not one of these news posts dares raise questions about how this happened............

Report: Chinese wind turbines purchased by the West may become weapons of political coercion - German progressives remind us how slow on the uptake they are...........The German progressives, who have already been famously scolded by President Trump for their short-sighted and suicidal reliance on Russian energy—which led to a historical energy crisis—are reminding us how slow on the uptake they really are as news emerges that their dependence on hostile foreign nations for crucial infrastructure needs is once again biting them in the rear.......
 
China’s 4-Stage Strategy to Surpass the USA  If the United States is to maintain its technological lead over China, then it must step up its game.  As China stands on the threshold of competing with the United States in critical technology fields, such as A.I., biotechnology, and computing, it’s important to understand the four-stage strategy that has propelled the nation to this point.  This approach has allowed China to bypass stages of development, catching up and in some areas achieving technological dominance.........
 
Meta Attempted to Enter China by Promising Censorship - Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta went to great lengths, including developing a censorship system and potentially sharing user data, in an unsuccessful bid to bring Facebook to China, according to a whistleblower complaint..........
 
House Lawmakers Seek to Crack Down on China’s Secret Police Stations in US - ‘We should find, prosecute, and sanction any Chinese Communist Party official involved in standing up police stations on U.S. soil,’ Rep. Ashley Hinson said...........
 
The Threat of China’s Secret Police Stations on Our Soil - When you think of a local police station—not the headquarters building but a smaller neighbourhood branch—what comes to mind? Likely a few things: a sense of security that the police are nearby if trouble brews, a place to touch base with law enforcement officers, perhaps a way for police to engage in outreach with residents. Overall, a positive vibe.
 
What, then, comes to mind when you learn that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has set up a “police station” around the corner from your house? Likely anything but the scenarios just listed.  China denies—of course!—that such places exist. But they do, in several cities across 50 nations worldwide, including at least five in Canada and four in the United States. It is unclear whether all these stations remain operational. The Canadian government finally began “investigating” them two years ago (who knows how long they had been in operation up until then). The RCMP announced in June 2023 that it had “shut down” these facilities..........

Christian Persecution
 
Butcher Christians in the Middle East and receive a VIP invite to an EU conference in Brussels - Syria’s new president is the man of the hour for European progressives.........Syria’s new head of state, Ahmed al-Sharaa, the violent Islamist—but I repeat myself—who rose to power after his forces toppled Bashar al-Assad, is the man of the hour for European progressives, as the European Commission recently extended an invitation to the interim president to attend a “donor conference” in Brussels. This is all despite the fact that under his watch, thousands of civilians, many of the Christian faith, have been slaughtered in the streets by what are reportedly, government forces............
 
Syria: The graveyard of Christianity - And the West is complicit. Syria has become a graveyard for ancient Christianity.  What was once home to some of the world’s oldest churches is now rubble — its crosses toppled, clergy hunted, and Christian families driven from their homes or slaughtered outright.  Under Bashar al-Assad’s brutal regime, Syria was no model of liberty.  But there was a fragile balance.  Christians, though never truly free, were tolerated — and even protected at times — as a stabilizing force against the rise of Islamist extremism..........
 .
Without God, There is No TRUE Respect for Human Life - Give people a good rationale for being psychopaths, for long enough, and a more psychopathic civilization just may be your fate. ..........Since my title is bound to inspire criticism that I’m a “God botherer,” I’ll preface what follows by stating that I wasn’t always the halo-adorned, floating-in-the-ether desert mystic (without the sand or heat) you behold today. I wasn’t raised with faith, and as a 12-year-old was an agnostic who’d say, “I’d never believe or disbelieve in anything there’s no proof of.” Later on I’d be rather dismissive of theists, actually, viewing them as God botherers myself, though we didn’t have that term or as many Richard Dawkins-like secularist warriors back then. I suppose we were, relatively speaking, handicapped in our exercise of supercilious anti-theism.....
 
Revisiting a Forgotten History of Christian Political Activism - A new insight regarding the Christian response to politics — from a pre-Revolutionary War pastor. Since the Obama years, pastors and church leaders have felt emboldened to promote Liberal/Leftist/Statist political points-of-view. Conservative Christians, on the other hand, have tended to assiduously stay in the lane of “Jesus only”. Don’t comment on culture. Don’t comment on politics........
 
The Law v. The Church - Putting the best interests of illegal aliens above Americans. In contrast to cultural issues like abortion, homosexuality, and same-sex marriage, leftists are once again in league with their longstanding Christian allies on immigration: The Catholic Church. Pope Francis has rejected what he calls “hatred, discrimination or exclusion” in Trump’s immigration policies, and even denounced Trump’s migrant deportation plan as a “disgrace.”  Meanwhile, relief agencies like Catholic Charities USA have long been accused of helping facilitate illegal immigration to this country...........
 
Why the Silence About the Slaughter of Christians in Syria?  - For 14 years, Syria has been engulfed in a civil war. Until three months ago, dictator Bashar al-Assad controlled the government, but he was overthrown by the Jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), an al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist organization. While Assad had many faults he did protect the Christian minority in Syria. However, as noted by commentator Tucker Carlson, as the civil war progressed, “The percentage of Christians in Syria went from ten percent to two percent.”.............
 
Covid.  
 
My Take - It turns out the bugman was right again, imagine that. Here's a link to one of my many articles on the false covid disaster that was imposed on the world. 
 
Major Autopsy Study Finds Scars in Hearts of Covid-Vaxxed - Two of Japan’s leading medical researchers have issued a warning after their major autopsy study found that people who died from a sudden cardiac arrest had multiple scars in their hearts caused by Covid mRNA “vaccines.” The study was conducted by cardiologist Dr. Tomomi Koizumi and pathologist Dr. Masao Ono of the Mito Medical Center in Higashi-Ibarakigun, Japan. They sought to identify the cause of spikes in “unexplained cardiac arrest.”..............
 
Exclusive: Dr. Mark Trozzi & Dr. Regina Watteel Expose the COVID Cover-Up—Weaponized Science, Rigged Data, and Crimes Against Humanity with Video - In an exclusive interview with RAIR Foundation, Dr. Mark Trozzi and Dr. Regina Watteel, PhD, exposed the systemic fraud and coercion that underpinned government COVID-19 policies, revealing how medical institutions weaponized pseudoscience to enforce dangerous mandates and silence dissenting experts. They detailed how an intricate web of political, corporate, and academic collusion ensured that dissent was crushed, fraudulent studies were upheld, and the public was force-fed a narrative that had no basis in reality...........

Study Warns That Adolescents With Heart Damage After Covid “Vaccine” Face Long-Term Health Challenges -  Children and young people who suffered heart damage after receiving a Covid mRNA “vaccine” are facing long-term, and possibly life-long, health issues, a new study has revealed.  A team of South Korean researchers, led by Professor Yoonsun Yoon of Korea University College of Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics, sought to investigate rising concerns over myocarditis and pericarditis following mRNA injections.  The study was conducted in conjunction with colleagues at the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency......

Japan Issues Alert as Deaths Surge Among Vaxxed Children - Leading experts in Japan have issued a global alert to call for an urgent reassessment of worldwide vaccination programs after linking a recent surge in child deaths to “vaccines.” A bombshell new study published in the Springer Nature peer-reviewed journal Discover Medicine raises the alarm over the issue after connecting several child deaths to “vaccinations.”

They Knew. They All Knew. March 17, 2025 — John Hinderaker - It is now just about universally acknowledged that the covid-19 virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where gain of function research was being conducted with the support of the U.S. government. This was vociferously denied for years by Western governments, apparently because they were afraid to cross the Chinese Communist Party. But it came out a few days ago that Germany knew all along that covid-19 was a lab leak.

Did COVID Nearly Start a Revolution? - Things changed quickly three years ago. Let’s revisit the tumultuous second half of 2021.  Dementia-addled President Joe Biden executed a disastrous retreat from Afghanistan in August that resulted in the killing of thirteen servicemembers.  Having spectacularly failed America’s warfighters, he transitioned quickly to the ongoing “fight against COVID.”  ......

Whoops! Cori Bush's Husband Just Got Indicted by the DOJ for COVID Fraud - We haven't heard a whole lot from former Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) since she left office at the end of the 118th Congress (having been defeated in the Democratic primary last August by former St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell). But that doesn't mean all's been quiet in her world...............
 
Deep State Corruption, FBI
 
 FBI Agent Who Opposed Trump’s First Term Charged for Disclosing Confidential Information - An FBI agent who opposed President Donald Trump during his first term was arrested and charged on Monday for sharing confidential information to write a memoir. The arrest of 15-year FBI veteran, Jonathan Buma, occurred at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City on Monday. He was accused of “printing about 130 files of classified FBI documents and messages and later sharing the material with associates for a book he was writing about his career at the bureau,” per Fox News...........
 
FOIA: Biden’s Army Trained Soldiers to Believe Pro-Lifers Were Terrorists and Jews Invented Terrorism - When President Trump fired several of the military’s top brass this past February, the mainstream media echoed the headlines in the usual doomsday tone we’ve all come to expect, labeling it as “unprecedented” and that it was a cause for “concern” that endangered the traditional nonpolitical role of the military. Well, based on what we uncovered, it appears a shake-up in leadership was in order.........
 
Time for the Trump DOJ and FBI to Deal the Pain- We’ve all seen those uppity federal judges presuming to tell the executive branch when it can deport enemy aliens, when it can fire useless government flunkies, and when members of the administration must stand or sit to pee. Like much of the lawfare against Donald Trump, this craziness is going to come to nothing. It’s all going to turn to ashes in their soft, girlish little hands. But here’s the thing – we control federal law enforcement right now. That means we get to set the agenda, and we need to ruthlessly and brutally use the law to defeat our enemies’ outrageous and disgraceful attacks upon patriotic Americans.....
 
FBI Turns Over Biden-era DOJ Weaponization Docs to the House Judiciary Committee -  These are the files that Democrats do not want in the hands of Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). The chair of the House Judiciary Committee received the Biden-era Department of Justice weaponization docs from the FBI. Its contents aren’t January 6-related, but one that went underreported for years: the alleged crusade against pro-life activists. Jerry Dunleavy of Just the News has more:.......

Here Are Some of the Biggest Bombshells Uncovered by Internet Sleuths in the Newly Released JFK Files - President Donald Trump ordered the release of approximately 1,123 PDF files of previously classified documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, fulfilling a long-standing promise to declassify all remaining records. These files, part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection, are accessible online at the National Archives (JFK Release 2025) or in person at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland.  Internet sleuths and researchers have been combing through these files, uncovering what they believe are significant revelations.............
 
The Dems Don't Want These Docs in the Hands of Jim Jordan - These are the files that Democrats do not want in the hands of Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).

San Francisco Pride hemorrhages corporate dollars, will ‘make do’ with tight budget March 18, 2025 by Olivia Murray Without government pressure, companies are now able to curry favor with customers, not the LGBTQ mafia.......
 
Stacey Abrams really, really, wants 'her' $2 billion from Biden's EPA slush fund  Not a whit of shame at this pork barrel scheme, just hand over the money, honey ........Is there a bigger pig at the government trough than Stacey Abrams?  After EPA chief Lee Zeldin uncovered a massive $2 billion cash haul earmarked for a coalition of five NGOs called Power Forward Communities, one of which was closely linked to Stacey Abrams, Abrams decided to sue the government to get "her" money back. No hiding from embarassment at the revelations of how pop-up NGOs were scarfing up government cash in a "gold brick" pork-barrel scheme in the wretched days after President Trump was re-elected, trying to grab as much cash as possible as they headed out the door.  In Mexico, this practice has a name: "La Piñata."............
 
Democrats
 
Joe Biden Quietly Meets with DNC Chairman in Bid to Get 'Back In': Report- Supporters of President Donald Trump aren’t used to getting good news from establishment media outlets when it comes to the Biden family. After legacy media spent four years covering for an increasingly debilitated Joe Biden rambling around the White House, conservatives have good reason to be suspicious of just about any mainstream news about the former president and his plans. But if an NBC report Friday is on point, it could be the best thing for the GOP since the results of the November election came in.........
 
Democrats May Face Their Own “Tea Party Revolt” as Approval From Their Base Dips - As approval ratings for the Democrats have hit a low point, the political party may face something of its own "Tea Party revolt" that the Republican Party faced in the 2010s, according to a report from Politico.  The report comes just as many Hollywood donors snubbed a fundraiser that was held for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries this week, where left-wing donors feel that the party's leadership is not performing as it should to take on President Donald Trump..............
 
“It’s a Mistake”: Megadonor Who Left the Democrats Says AOC and Bernie Sanders’s Anti-Oligarchy Tour Will Backfire -  Former Democrat megadonor John Morgan told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo Thursday that Sen. Bernie Sanders’ anti-oligarchy tour featuring Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will backfire, saying both politicians motivate President Donald Trump’s supporters. The Vermont independent launched his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour in February, with the New York Democrat set to participate at multiple rallies. Morgan, who was very critical of former Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign in 2024, argued on “CUOMO” that Democrats should step aside rather than actively and outwardly oppose the Trump administration................
 
Taxation as a Moral Question - Appearing March 18 on ABC’s The View, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer criticized Americans who think their taxes are too high.  Channeling his inner Barack Obama (“you didn’t build that”), Schumer asserted: “Their attitude is, ‘I made my money all by myself.  How dare your government take my money from me?  I don’t want to pay taxes.  Or ‘I built my company with my bare hands.  How dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers, the land and water that I own, or my employee?’”.....
 
Democrat Dimwit Jasmine Crockett Is the Best Gift Democrats Have Given to Republicans - Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) might be one of the biggest gifts the Democratic Party has bestowed upon the GOP since AOC. Crockett has made quite a name for herself after taking office in 2023. She has been known for her grandstanding antics and pugilistic approach to political discourse. Unfortunately for her and her party, she is not nearly as good at this game as she would like..............
 
Radical Leftists, Communists, and Antisemites Declare War on The Heritage Foundation’s Project Esther - Ever heard of The Heritage Foundation’s Project Esther? It was put into play a year after the horrific slaughter by Hamas in Israel of over 1,200 innocent souls on October 7, 2023. That was followed by hellish rapes, butchery, torture, and kidnapping. According to The Heritage Foundation, the project is “named after the historic Jewish heroine who saved the Jews from genocide in ancient Persia, Project Esther provides a blueprint to counter antisemitism in the United States and ensure the security and prosperity of all Americans.”......
 
Schumer Mocks ‘Greedy’ Americans Who Want Less Taxes, Less Government Control - Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) mocked so-called “greedy” Americans for wanting to keep more of their hard-earned money and wanting less government control over their lives. During an episode on ABC’s The View on Tuesday, Schumer spoke about the recent government spending bill, which President Donald Trump recently signed. As Breitbart News previously reported, Schumer explained that he voted in favor of keeping the government open because a “Republican Senator told Democrats the plan was to ‘decimate the entire federal government.”..........
 
Democrats and Muslims: No More Middle - One can see an eerily similar phenomenon in both the Democratic Party and Islam, namely, there is no more middle countering excesses at the extremes.  Imagine a Clinton Democrat coming out of a coma just now. Before he can be taught about that “internet thing”, you ask him to summarize his political views:............

Democrats Unmask Themselves - Three examples show how the Donkey Party was never serious about its professed deepest principles.......The Democrats stand primarily for their own personal power, prestige, and wealth.  To maintain these, they’ve patched together a rogue’s gallery of supporters, forcing party leaders to navigate an array of contradictions.  These incongruities between rhetoric and action blast torpedoes straight into their brand's tattered remains.  Four obvious contradictions were on full display this week......
 
Hills to Die On: Democrats know how to pick 'em - They raise high holy stinks about the rights of terrorists, sympathizers, and criminals to stay in the country and live among us.  What is it about Democrats and their urge to inflict criminals and terrorists upon us? In their quest to Get Trump on immigration, which is probably his strongest point with the public, they've picked three migrant cause célèbres they're waving at the public, promoting them as sob stories and "threats to democracy."  And boy, do they stink......

CNN Poll Shows That Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is Leader of the Democrat Party - You might remember that during the whirlwind of the first weeks of President Donald Trump's second term, the question began to circle: Who is the leader of the Democrat Party? Chuck Schumer? Nancy Pelosi? Extreme Hakeem Jeffries?......

Cuck Schumer Cancels Book Tour Over “Security Concerns” After Caving to Trump and Angering Democrats -  The Democratic in-fighting is getting ugly. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) is being mocked and ridiculed for canceling stops on a book tour after angering Democrats, who wanted him to fight against a Republican funding bill......

Democrats smashed on the rocks - Polls are bearing out what we all suspect: The Democrat party is in steep decline, with no sign of a course correction.....A new NBC News poll found that a scant 7% of registered voters have a “very positive” view of the donkey assemblage. Last November, real America roared back into bloom.  Voters swarmed polling sites to give Democrats a walloping so absolute that globalists the world over dropped megalomaniacal schemes and cowered. .......
  
Britain's lamest hour March 18, 2025 by Eric Utter The ruling Labour Party is targeting English pubs in many awful ways.   Britain’s Labour Party has introduced the “Employment Rights Bill,” which, of course, is actually about limiting the rights of the vast majority in order to protect the ‘rights’ of a relative few.  Clause 18 of the ERB would amend the Equality Act to force employers to “take all reasonable steps” to cocoon their staff from “harassment” by “third parties.”......
  
How the Fate of the West is Tied to the Fate of the Jewish Nation - Janet Levy Josh Hammer’s new book, releasing today, is life-changing.  Why is Israel alone forced to justify its existence and questioned when it stands up to those who would annihilate it?  Why was a worldwide campaign of hatred that reeked of anti-Semitism unleashed on Israel when it responded to the October 7, 2023, attack, while there was no criticism of Hamas?  Why has the U.N. censured the Jewish state more times than any other nation, even China, North Korea, and Cuba combined?......

A deplorable explains why the Dems will probably run AOC in 2028 - Still inexplicably clinging to the failed policies of the Biden years, they need another insentient puppet.  My mother was as tough as an old bar of iron. Anytime I worked up the guts to ask her, “Why”, she’d stab me in the chest with her bony finger and hiss back, “Because I said so, that’s why!” And I’d instantly plop back down into my lowly place—but at least she respected me enough to answer my question, which is more than I can say for Joe Biden......
 
Democrats Are Just the Worst People - I know, I know – Donald Trump has been no saint in his personal life. I’ve never really cared – as I’ve repeated for years, I was voting for president, not Pope (though, given how this Pope is on the border, I’d vote for Trump there too). But Democrats would not let it go. “He’s a cheater!” The party of every Kennedy until 5 months ago screamed as though no one remembered anything about history. “He’s been accused of rape!” voices screamed from the wagons still circled around Bill Clinton and his enabler Hillary. One thing is certain: the old adage is true: Democrats are always guilty of what they accuse Republicans of doing......
 
Death by Lunacy -  The West has made a fundamental and destructive error. Can it still save itself?  Over the past few days, Sunni Muslims, under the nominal command of Syria’s new leader, went on killing sprees against Alawite and Christian citizens. The last number I saw had over 700 killed. Videos show Syrian army personnel riding on some of their victims, who are forced to bark like dogs before being shot dead. People had warned that an ISIS/Al-Qaeda government led by Abu Mohammed al-Julani would go against other ethnic groups sooner or later. Israel last week emphatically expressed its support for the Druze communities in southern Syria. Julani is smart, if nothing else. He dropped his fatigues, moved to nice suits and ties, and in no time was meeting with world leaders, including the head of the UN. Will any of them hold him accountable for the actions of his soldiers? I would not bet on it......
 

DOGE and More  

Inspector General Report Backs DOGE, Reveals Unused IRS Space Wastes Millions - The Department of Government Efficiency’s cutting of Internal Revenue Service office space is consistent with the federal government’s earlier findings about excessive expenses within the tax collecting agency. The Trump administration will reportedly close more than 110 IRS offices across the country.  In June, during the Biden-Harris administration, the Treasury Department’s Inspector General for Tax Administration, or TIGTA, issued a report stating a majority of IRS offices are less than half full. ......

Massive Censorship Scheme by USAID and Global Engagement Center Gets Exposed - Today, America First Legal (AFL) released explosive new documents obtained through ongoing litigation against the U.S. Department of State’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), exposing a vast, government-backed censorship operation to silence Americans under the guise of “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation.” The documents reveal a disturbing alliance between the GEC, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the British Foreign, Commonwealth, Development Office (FCDO), and media censorship organizations, all working in lock-step to manipulate public discourse, control media narratives, and suppress free speech.

'DOGE has broken into our building': Federal bureaucrats panic, call cops for 'illegal takeover' - Officials at the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) called police Monday in a failed effort to block personnel from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from entering their Washington headquarters. Former USIP officials insisted DOGE had no authority to enter the building and remove its staff, claiming the institute operates independently of executive branch control despite operating almost entirely on federal funding. USIP, established by Congress in 1984, claims its mission is to "prevent violent conflicts and broker peace deals abroad," despite the U.S. having been involved in numerous military interventions, prolonged wars and rising global instability in the decades since..........

Rubio: Tens of Billions of USAID Contracts Terminated - Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that around 5,200 contracts—worth tens of billions of dollars—belonging to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have been terminated as the Trump administration continues efforts to abolish the agency. He added that the remaining contracts, about 18 percent of the total, will now be taken over by the State Department for management.....

Kelly: Musk’s ‘Slash and Burn’ of Government Is Ruining People’s Lives -  Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was ruining people’s lives. Maddow said, “I have to ask you if you if you have any response tonight to what the president’s top campaign donor, Mr. Musk, said about you bluntly calling you a traitor in response to you writing about your your trip to Ukraine?”.............

The remaining 17 percent mainly originated from Costa Rica and Spain, as well as Panama, Canada, Mexico, and El Salvador..........

Elon Musk Claims IP Addresses Connected to ‘Massive Cyberattack’ on X Originated in Ukraine - Elon Musk claimed that IP addresses connected to a “massive cyberattack” on X, which caused significant outages throughout Monday, originated in Ukraine.

DOGE Says Children Aged 11 and Under Were Granted $312M in Loans During Coronavirus PandemicThousands of loans worth $312 million were granted to children during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced Saturday.   DOGE, which is headed by Elon Musk, said it had discovered that the Small Business Administration (SBA) had granted nearly 5,600 loans for $312 million to “borrowers whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger at the time of the loan.” The loans were granted in 2020 and 2021...........

Trump Takes Aim at Government-Funded News Agency, Starts Dismantling 'Propaganda' -  President Donald Trump took a decisive step in overhauling the Voice of America (VOA) with a new executive order, slashing its operations and putting nearly all its employees on leave.

Economics/Tariffs
 
Let American companies compete with China on 5G - The Trump administration has rolled into Washington and they’re determined to shake things up. Already Trump has fired Joe Biden’s anti-business head of the Federal Trade Commission, Lina Khan, and replaced her with the more reasonable Andrew Ferguson.  Ferguson, along with Trump picks like Pamela Bondi and Gail Slater at the Department of Justice, suggest the new administration plans to be fairer to American companies than its predecessor. This new attitude can’t come soon enough. Team Trump will soon have to make a decision that will directly impact how the United States competes with China when it comes to the technologies of tomorrow..........

Europe Postpones Tariffs on U.S. Whiskey and Other Goods, Fearing a Trade War With Trump -  The European Union (EU) says it will now delay implementing tariffs against the United States, originally planned to begin at the end of March, until mid-April. While European officials claim the delay is to give more time to refine the list of U.S. products subject to the tariffs, it is widely seen as allowing more time for negotiations with U.S. President Donald J. Trump‘s White House.  Olof Gill, a spokesman for the European Commission, confirmed the delay on Thursday. “This provides additional time for discussions with the U.S. administration,” he stated...............
 
POTUS Gets Tough: European Union, ’Treats Us Terribly on Trade’…India ’One of the Highest Tariffing Nations in the World’ -  President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively on Wednesday afternoon that his phone calls on Tuesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin and on Wednesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were “two very good conversations.”......

 Meloni Cautions Against Tit-for-Tat Tariffs Between EU, US - The Italian prime minister also spoke out in support of Trump’s proposed cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on March 18 called for pragmatism to prevent a “vicious cycle” of tariffs between the European Union and the United States. Speaking to the Italian Senate ahead of a meeting of EU leaders this week, Meloni made her first comments on President Donald Trump’s policies that have shaken the European Union this year.......

Tariffs, Tariffs Everywhere: What the Latest China Tariffs on Canada Are About - The timing of the tariffs doesn’t appear to be just a coincidence.  As Canada grappled with shifting U.S. tariffs last week, China added to the pressure over the March 8 weekend, slapping new tariffs on Canadian agricultural and food products effective later this month.  But the timing of the China tariffs coming only now, several months after Canada put U.S.-matching levies on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and other products last October, doesn’t appear to be just a coincidence..........

The Tariff Is a Weapon - And it has short- and long-term effects, and Americans need to be conversant in all this. ....“Anyone who doesn’t take tariffs seriously is gravely mistaken — tariffs are a weapon of economic warfare.  They can have enormous consequences.”  Still, American voters are largely indifferent about  tariffs.  A survey by Quinnipiac University reported that 51 percent of respondents oppose Trump’s imposing tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China, whereas 38 percent support them.....
 
Canada, Europe bemoan the very tariffs they levy, advantages they give their own industries Such hypocrisy at the nation that bailed so many of them out in the past.  Canada and Europe, to the U.S.: “How dare you do to us what we did to you long ago! What gives you the right to do to us what we're doing to you now?!” Canada and several European nations (as well as other nations, such as China) have long placed tariffs on American goods, and/or subsidized their businesses and industries placing them at a distinct advantage over their American counterparts......

We have watched as our hard-earned tax dollars -- money taken from our paychecks, our businesses, our families -- have been siphoned off to fund endless wars, bloated bureaucracies, and foreign regimes while our own country crumbles. We have seen our elected officials, Republican and Democrat alike, become millionaires while sitting in office, amassing fortunes through lobbying, insider trading, and outright theft under the guise of “public service.”..........
 
Unleashing American Competitiveness: Trump and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act - Unshackling private American companies from the FCPA is one step in leveling the playing field with China.  America’s Founders were students of the classics, and attempted to avoid the pitfalls of Greece and Rome in founding a republic. America’s first envoy to Russia, John Quincy Adams, also studied the classics and once remarked that to be without the works of the Roman philosopher Cicero would be akin to being without one of his own “limbs.” As a diplomat, Adams would have also known Cicero’s adage that the “sinews of war are infinite money.” The worlds of business, diplomacy, and war are closer than most generals, CEOs, or diplomats would admit. In a world that has been on the brink of World War III since 2022, the Trump administration fortunately seems to have read Cicero as well...........
 
Trump’s Timber Triumph: An America First Blueprint for Prosperity - America’s vast landscape can support timber plantations without destroying the environment. On March 1, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the “Freeing Our Forests” executive order, igniting a bold vision to vault U.S. lumber production to unprecedented heights. This is no mere policy tweak—it’s a seismic shift aligning with the America First ethos that propelled Trump back to the White House. By slashing bureaucratic shackles, targeting 95% domestic lumber self-sufficiency, and eyeing tariffs on foreign imports, Trump is reasserting American economic sovereignty. The move promises cheaper homes, robust jobs, and a rebuke to globalist trade imbalances. .........

Education
 
Weingarten: Axing Dept of Education Will Lead to Repeat of Damage from COVID School Closures We Have ‘Loneliness Crisis’ - On Thursday’s broadcast of “MSNBC Prime,” American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten argued that eliminating the federal Department of Education will lead to a situation like the learning loss we saw during the coronavirus pandemic and said that we saw during COVID “kids don’t go through kindergarten more than once. They don’t go through first grade more than once. If you start cutting what we have in terms of elementary schools right now or high schools right now, how are we going to get it back?” And also stated that “We have a loneliness crisis.”........
 
Trump Signs the Order to Dismantle the Education Department - On Thursday afternoon, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education and return education decisions back to individual states............ Trump said ahead of the signing, "We're going to be returning education, very simply, back to the states where it belongs," adding that "Probably the cost will be half, and the education will be maybe many, many times better.".............

Closing the DoEPresident Trump has called the DoE a “big con job” -- and he’s absolutely right. It’s time to shut it down and put education back in the hands of parents and states, where it belongs.   On March 3, 2025, Linda McMahon was sworn in as the 13th Secretary of Education. The very next day, March 4, President Trump, in his address to Congress, reaffirmed his commitment to dismantling the Department of Education (DoE) as part of his ongoing efforts to return power to the states. Then, on March 5, 2025, President Trump took decisive action by signing Executive Order 14201, directing Secretary McMahon to begin the process of closing the DoE. This is a bold step that moves us closer to fulfilling a promise made to the American people............
 
Dem Gov. Walz: Axing Federal DOE Will Lead to Segregation - On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) responded to plans to eliminate the federal Department of Education by claiming that “Ruby Bridges needed to be escorted into those schools and the folks who went into Little Rock because we didn’t have an Education Department that ensured her civil rights were respected. That’s gone now.” And stated that “when Trump says it’s a bunch of bureaucrats interfering with your local schools, give local control, we’ll give you the money, it sounds pretty good. And we have not provided what that alternative looks like.”...
 
Energy  

EPA's Attempt to Roll Back Climate Regs May Come Down to One Key Legal Point. On his new role as head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Lee Zeldin has proposed changes that would fundamentally alter government regulation of America’s energy and transportation industries—if the changes can survive legal challenges from environmental groups. ..........“We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S., and more,” Zeldin said in an official statement.  These changes, he said, would “roll back trillions in regulatory costs and hidden ‘taxes’ on U.S. families” and make it “more affordable to purchase a car, heat homes, and operate a business.”............

Ruling Gives EPA Green Light to Suspend Approvals for New Jersey Wind Power Project - An appeals board has upheld the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) suspension of approved permits for a massive wind power venture off New Jersey’s coast in compliance with President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 executive actions demanding an immediate freeze in offshore wind development and leasing. It could be the first of many similar remands, or reconsiderations, of issued permits in coming months as the EPA pauses wind power projects that have been permitted but haven’t started construction under the president’s directive........

Greenpeace Loses in North Dakota - A jury in North Dakota ordered the environmental group Greenpeace to pay more than $660 million to Energy Transfer and Dakota Access LLC for its role in defaming the company and inciting illegal behavior during protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016 and 2017. Energy Transfer filed the lawsuit in 2019, suing Greenpeace USA, Greenpeace International, and Greenpeace Fund.  The jury found Greenpeace USA liable for nearly $404 million, while Greenpeace Fund Inc. and Greenpeace International were each held responsible for approximately $131 million. It was the second-largest win in the history of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, the law firm representing the pipeline developer. In addition, it was “one of the largest and most complex civil suits” in North Dakota’s history, as reported by the North Dakota Monitor........

 $660 Million Dakota Pipeline Jury Verdict Could Put Greenpeace out of Business - Energy Transfer just won a $660 million jury verdict against Greenpeace, which is enough to put those anti-science fascists permanently out of business in America. Tee hee. Energy Transfer is the Texas-based pipeline company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline, which suffered through Greenpeace’s months long protests against the pipeline about ten years ago. The suit accused Greenpeace of defamation, trespassing, physical damages to the pipeline and equipment, and overall (and unceasing) harassment that caused expensive delays.........
Europe 
 
European Leaders Are Drafting a Plan to Replace U.S. in NATO - In the ultimate act of seeking to ‘Trump-proof’ the NATO alliance, even well into the future, Europe’s largest military powers are now drawing up plans to keep the alliance strong in case of a US exit from leadership over the next five to ten years. Informal discussions have involved the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the Nordic countries, who are envisioning a managed transfer of power and leadership reshaping the NATO bloc........ (My Take - Wow!  That'll fix us!)
 
NATO and the German straitjacket - Lord Ismay, the first Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), reportedly observed that the purpose of the Alliance was to keep the Americans in Europe, the Russians out, and the Germans down. A majority understand what is meant by keeping the Americans in and Russians out, but few grasp the full implications of keeping the Germans down. Lord Ismay was referring to using NATO as a tool for locking Germany into a military and political straitjacket which would impose limitations on the future direction of German foreign and domestic policy.  In the minds of post-WWII policy planners, this goal was as important as keeping the Russians from rolling their tanks across the whole of the Northern European Plain......
 
Emergency Hearing in UK Steps up Legal Fight for Tommy Robinson’s Rights - An emergency hearing on behalf of Tommy Robinson could bring relief to the UK’s high-profile political prisoner. Rebel News boss, Ezra Levant will be in England to cover the case. In a statement published earlier today, Levant said, the Royal Courts of Justice in London, will hear Robinson’s barrister advocate for a judicial review into how he’s being treated.  Robinson (Stephen Lennon) has been held in solitary confinement for 140 days, which is, according to the Rebel News veteran reporter, not just illegal, it’s a kind of torture.  There is no sign Nicola Marfleet, the female governor of the high-security prison, HMP Woodhill, has any intention of stopping the state from squeezing the life out of Robinson..........
 
Europe Goes Full Totalitarian and Puts the Entire Western World at Risk - It’s happening again. Europe is once again going totalitarian and this time there’s a decidedly familiar communist stench. The outcome was predictable for many of us in the alternative media and the situation is only going to get worse in the next few years, but what does this mean for the rest of the world? With the European elites casting off their humanist masks and going outright Orwellian, what kind of chaos can we expect to unfold?  First and foremost I want to point out a key piece of irony here – For decades in the US we heard the tiresome argument that our 2nd Amendment gun rights are meaningless because they are “unnecessary in maintaining our freedoms”. Anti-gun rights activists and politicians commonly used Europe as their sterling example:........

Immigration and Deportation
 
Reclaiming Control of America’s Immigration System - In biology, the membrane defines the boundary of a cell, regulating what enters and exits to ensure the cell’s survival.  Without this boundary, the cell disintegrates. Similarly, a nation’s border defines its sovereignty, regulating the flow of people, goods, and ideas to protect its identity and security.  President Donald Trump captured this truth when he asserted, “We do not have a state without a border.”........

Shalom, Mahmoud! - If Mahmoud really wanted to be a revolutionary at Columbia, he could have done something genuinely radical—joined the College Republicans, read the collected works of P.J.

 America has many traditions—apple pie, baseball, and, thanks to Columbia University, mass-producing trust-fund revolutionaries with a soft spot for Hamas. But as it turns out, supporting terrorist organizations while enjoying a cushy student life in the U.S. isn’t quite as consequence-free as our academic betters would have you believe.

What to Know About the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 Law Invoked by Trump - President Donald Trump has issued a proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law providing for deportations of noncitizens during times of war or invasion. The proclamation targets members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, which Trump links to the socialist regime in Venezuela. Trump declared TdA a foreign terrorist organization in February. The case is in legal limbo after several groups sued the administration.........

History Affirms Trump’s Right to Use the Alien Enemies Act Against Gangs -  Activists claim the move is illegal and unconstitutional, but courts have long upheld presidential power to remove foreign nationals who threaten national security. President Donald Trump on Friday issued a proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. Predictably, this move drew the ire of anti-borders activists, who classified it as an attempt to circumvent due process protections for illegal aliens. Critics claimed that the legislation can be used only in times of war, but do they have a legal leg to stand on? For several significant reasons, they do not. ......

Illegals working for Congress — addendum - Does anyone remember the story about Bob “Gold Bar” Menendez’s illegal alien intern who was sexually abusing a young boy? ......American Thinker recently published an article of mine about AOC hiring an illegal alien to work for her.  Seems she wasn’t the only one.  The (criminal) coddling of illegal aliens went straight up the halls of power from the House to the Senate and, yes, even the (Obama) White House......

ICE Official: Many Gang Members Deported by Trump Face Murder, Rape, Kidnapping Charges - Many of the illegal alien gang members deported to El Salvador by President Donald Trump via the Alien Enemies Act had criminal records that included murder, rape, kidnapping, and other violent crimes.

Justice
 
Supreme Court Justice Roberts Drags His Feet on Trump Request to Intervene in Birthright Citizenship Fight - Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts showed no urgency when he set a leisurely schedule in response to President Trump’s request to intervene in the birthright citizenship fight.Rather than responding to Trump’s emergency appeal right away, without explanation, Roberts set an April 4 deadline for opponents to respond.  Last week President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to intervene in the birthright citizenship fight.  Four federal judges have blocked President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order........

What in the world is he doing fraternizing in a secret group with far-left colleagues?  This is a shocking development.........
  
Who will stop the judges? March 19, 2025 by Silvio Canto, Jr. -We've been watching federal judges playing President or Commander in Chief. I guess that these judges, coincidentally appointed by President Obama or President Biden, have concluded that Article 2 powers apply to a presidency only if a judge in some blue island agrees with his decision.  Glenn Reynolds asserts that this is not going to end well for the judiciary. Let's check out what he wrote:
 
The Supreme Court Has Long Held That The Alien Enemies Act Gives The President Plenary Power S. David Sultzer, Andrea Widburg - Several days ago, invoking the Alien Enemies Act (“AEA”), President Trump ordered that “250 Tren de Aragua members and 23 MS-13 members wanted for alleged crimes in El Salvador” be deported. The woke left, led by the Soros minions, immediately asked Judge James Boasberg of the US District Court in DC to stop it—and amazingly, he agreed via minimalist “minute orders.” Boasberg ignored Trump’s findings and ordered that the planes carrying the deportees (already en route to El Salvador) return to the US. This grotesquely wrong decision justifies impeachment. The AEA is one of our nation’s oldest statutes, enacted in 1798, 11 years after America’s founding. Many of the same men who drafted the Constitution later drafted and approved the Act. It provides:.............
 
 The Founders Provided Remedies for a Runaway Judiciary - Recently a gaggle of rogue U.S. District Court judges have issued numerous restraining orders and opinions aimed at curtailing, and in some cases overturning, the constitutional authority of President Trump as the head of the executive branch of government. There have been a series of court orders that rival the most egregious judicial decisions in American history, virtually all of which dramatically undermine constitutional separation of powers as well the sovereignty of this nation. What the country is witnessing is the culmination of many decades of ever-expanding judicial activism and the cowardice of the Congress to exert its prerogative to rein in this runaway usurpation of political power..................
 
Fani Willis Is Going to Pay Big for Violating State Law While Prosecuting Trump - Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis just got some more horrible news.

'A sham': Clinton judge orders thousands of fired employees to be returned to jobs -  A federal judge on Thursday said the Trump Administration's Office of Personnel Management (OPM) illegally fired thousands of probationary employees. US District Judge William Alsup, a Clinton appointee, ordered the Trump Administration to rehire thousands of fired probationary employees in six federal agencies. The judge blasted the Trump Administration and said he felt "misled by the US Government" as he ordered six federal agencies to offer reinstatement to fired probationary workers.......

Obama-Appointed Judge Orders DOGE to Disclose Plans, Personnel - Obama-appointed Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered that Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) must reveal their plans to downsize government and disclose employees’ identities.  U.S. District Judge Chutkan gave the order after 14 Democrat state attorneys general sued President Donald Trump, Musk, and DOGE, claiming that Musk is unconstitutionally wielding power. Chutkan gave Musk and DOGE three weeks to produce information, which would help her decide if she should block DOGE’s operations........
 
Here’s Where Dozens of Legal Challenges Against the Trump Admin Stand - Dozens of lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration since day one, challenging everything from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to executive orders on birthright citizenship and funding for institutions that provide child gender transitions. Several cases involve significant questions of executive power that are likely to be resolved ultimately by the Supreme Court. Some have already reached the justices on an emergency basis, as the administration argued lower court judges blocking aspects of President Donald Trump’s agenda were exceeding their authority..........

BREAKING: Federal Judge BLOCKS Trump from deporting Mahmoud Khalil - A federal judge has just blocked the Trump administration from deporting pro-Hamas activist Mahmoud Khalil, who they arrested over the weekend. Because there’s a challenge to his arrest, the judge says he must remain in the US to “preserve the court’s jurisdiction”. Here’s more from NBC News:...

Middle East
 
Release the video of the October 7 massacre, now -Is there anything more loathsome than watching milk-fed, trust fund, nepo-baby, no common sense, gullible, spoiled, privileged, pampered, preening, $93,417/year tuition and costs, cosplaying, interpretive dancing, vegan, gluten free, nut sensitive, Jew-hating, Jew-harassing, Jew-attacking Ivy League students occupy buildings, assault campus employees, and act out their various neuroses while clashing with police officers? (Here’s the “nut sensitive” context: The Columbia protesters’ makeshift outdoor canteen had readily available sanitizer wipes “with a sign on the bottle urging attendees to ‘keep each other safe and wipe hands after touching NUTS,” along with $12 croissants and a hot sauce stand.).............
 
Trump Promises Houthis ‘Will Be Completely Annihilated’ with or Without Iranian Support - President Donald Trump urged Iran to stop offering financial and political aid to Yemen’s Ansarullah terrorist organization on Wednesday or face the wrath of the U.S. military, predicting that, with or without Iranian help, the Houthis “will be completely annihilated!”.......

Trump’s message shakes the pillars of Khamenei’s regime - On March 17, 2025, Donald Trump issued a significant statement on his Truth Social account. This firm and threatening message explicitly holds Khamenei’s regime accountable for the actions of the Houthis in Yemen, aiming to exert direct pressure on Iran’s leadership. Trump’s statement carries several key aspects.
 
How the Fate of the West is Tied to the Fate of the Jewish Nation - Janet Levy Josh Hammer’s new book, releasing today, is life-changing.   Why is Israel alone forced to justify its existence and questioned when it stands up to those who would annihilate it?  Why was a worldwide campaign of hatred that reeked of anti-Semitism unleashed on Israel when it responded to the October 7, 2023, attack, while there was no criticism of Hamas?  Why has the U.N. censured the Jewish state more times than any other nation, even China, North Korea, and Cuba combined?.......
 
America and Israel Share The Same Enemy - While Democrats keep their eyes firmly focused on imaginary “white supremacy,” a real, dangerous, and very active enemy is lurking.  In his inaugural speech as president, Joe Biden said, “The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer,” adding that it faced “a rise in political extremism, white supremacy, [and] domestic terrorism...” That might have been the first symptom of his dementia. “White supremacy?” Biden and I are about the same age, and here he seems to have forgotten the 1960s, with its race riots, Freedom Rides, Selma, and new civil rights legislation that truly succeeded in dramatically changing the nation..........

Trump just fired a huge warning shot over Iran’s bow If they’re smart, the mullahs will be quaking under their turbans because Trump means what he says. Things may be about to get interesting in the Middle East, and this time, it has nothing to do with Israel. Just a few hours ago, Trump published a warning to the Iranian mullahs that, unless they restrain the Houthis from firing on international shipping in the Red Sea and on American ships, they will pay a price......
 
Three things for the U.S. to understand about the Middle East - There are three things that ordinary Americans need (but often fail) to understand about the Middle East.  These three things are necessary parts of U.S. policy. Team Trump, as well as our European allies, would do well by completely adopting all three. 1. The Iranian Kraken Must Be Defeated. .....2. Muslim “Refugees” Need To Be Sent Home...... 3. Israel Deserves Our Support — And It’s A Bargain...........

Transgenderism
 
‘School Officials Need to Be Prosecuted’: High School Girls Allegedly Forced to Disrobe in Front of Teen Boy- The Trump administration and politically progressive jurisdictions are playing tug-of-war with school districts on gender identity policies such as access to the opposite sex’s intimate facilities and disclosure of gender transition to parents. The American public is also getting its greatest insight into the lives of formerly gender-confused young people, while pop culture finally acknowledges a sexual-arousal condition of unknown frequency among males who identify as girls and women. Illinois’s Deerfield Public Schools District 109 is under the microscope on both sides of the Atlantic after parent Nicole Georgas (pictured above) said Thursday at a school board meeting that administrators and teachers entered the junior high girls’ locker room to force girls to change into their gym clothes after they refused to do so in the presence of a male who identifies as a girl...............
 
Whoopi Goldberg Thinks Those Opposing Men in Women’s Sports “Don’t Know Anything About” Female Anatomy - “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed Monday that anyone opposing trans-identifying men from competing in women’s sports fails to understand basic female anatomy. Goldberg told Dylan Mulvaney, a trans-identifying male activist, that those against men competing in women’s sports are ignorant about women’s bodies and just immediately assume that female athletes are weak. Studies have proven that men are biologically stronger and carry more body mass than women, posing an unfair advantage to male athletes and a higher risk of injury for women.....
Trans Rocker Laura Jane Grace Slammed for ‘Pure Evil’ Lyrics at Bernie Sanders Rally: ‘Does Your God Have a Big Fat D*ck’ - Socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has shocked many for including a transgender punk rocker in his rally who belted out a song containing offensive lyrics that are being blasted as “pure evil.” The Sanders rally which drew about 3,500 attendees occurred in Somers, Wisconsin, on Friday where Sanders — who is working to become the face of Trump resistance — invited punker Laura Jane Grace, the transgender head of the band Against Me!, to perform for the left-wing crowd..........

So-called ‘Gender affirming’ surgery is bad for people’s happiness This was obvious to anyone with common sense, but a large study has confirmed it.  When my kids were growing up, I knew a young man who was charming, funny, sociable, and quite obviously going to be gay. Exactly no one was surprised when, at 13, he came out of the closet. All would have been well if COVID hadn’t hit when he was in college. Isolated and depressed, he signed up for therapy, ending with a therapist who informed him that he was actually a woman. (I’m sure social media algorithms, such as Chinese-run TikTok’s, helped steer him in that direction.)
 
Voter Fraud
 
The Left Says It Doesn’t Happen, but Noncitizens Voted in Iowa’s Election - The media continually say that noncitizens won’t vote in U.S. elections because the penalty is so severe — fines, prison, and potential deportation are enough of a deterrent. But hundreds of noncitizens have not been deterred from registering in Iowa, where Secretary of State Paul Pate this week said audits of Iowa’s voter registration rolls found 277 noncitizens registered to vote or actually voted.   Using data from the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, the audit found 35 noncitizens cast ballots that were counted in the 2024 general election and five noncitizens tried to vote but their ballots were rejected, a statement from Pate’s office said. It also offered the following fine detail of what the audit found:.......
 
This 70-year-old woman is serving 9 years in prison - By Joe Fried -  Tina Peters was once the Clerk and Recorder of Mesa County, Colorado, and was in charge of county elections. Now she is serving a nine-year term in a Colorado prison. Her crime? She identified the unauthorized destruction of voter information that took place in two consecutive county elections: the November 2020 election and a local election held in early 2021. In each case, there is irrefutable evidence showing that the election database had been removed and subsequently reinstalled, minus information needed to identify the voter intent of thousands of ballots.

Peters, who is a matronly gold star mother, was concerned after three conservatives lost in a local election, despite the county having far more Republicans than Democrats. Due to a pending software update, the election database would soon be altered. For that reason, Peters asked her IT department to make a backup copy of the database. When they refused, Peters decided to take independent action. That action involved legal infractions that gave Colorado and local officials the excuse they needed to wage despicable lawfare. Here is the background......

New York’s Highest Court Blocks NYC Law Allowing Noncitizens to Vote - The State of New York Court of Appeals ruled that New York City’s law allowing noncitizens to vote violates the state’s constitution. The State of New York appellate court ruled the law unconstitutional in February 2024. The law allows “municipal voters” to vote in NYC elections: mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president, and city council member.   The Court agreed with the plaintiffs that the NYC law violated the New York Constitution’s Article II, section 1........
