A majority of Americans back Israel's war on Hamas, according to a Wall Street Journal poll conducted earlier this month. Fifty-five percent of 1,500 respondents said that Israel was taking necessary military action against Hamas, while 25 percent said the Jewish state's response "is disproportionate and going too far" in response to the terror group's Oct. 7 attacks, the poll found. The margin of error was 2.5 percent. A plurality of respondents, 42 percent, reported sympathizing more with the Israeli people than the Palestinian people, while 33 percent sympathized equally with both groups, and 12 percent sympathized more with Palestinians. Republicans were far more

Israel is going too far? Really? What do they call what Hamas did to babies? What about the brutality and raping of women? What about starving hostages? How far is that?

Wow, they had to take a poll to assure us that Americans don't like rapists, murderers and terrorists and support those who are trying their best to rid the world of them.

Pelosi: GOP Taking Away Freedom by Banning

Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that she believes Democrats are fighting for freedoms that Republicans are taking away with book bans. The former speaker claimed books in school that have been classics “are now burned.” Wagner said, “Some of the priorities for these Republican lawmakers in a vacuum. The most egregious things really stand out. Among them their war on reproductive freedom and the most recent comments from their informal head, their front runner, Donald Trump, who wants to replace Obamacare.” Pelosi said, “Yes, imagine that. When he was president he said repeal and replace. He had no replacement, he just wanted to repeal

Hamas leaders who had lived in luxurious exile in Qatar have left for unknown destinations as of Tuesday and have switched off their phones, according to the Israeli Kan channel’s Arabic news service, Makan. According to Makan (via Google translate), a “number” of Hamas leaders have left Qatar “for an unknown destination,” though they are presumed to be going to Lebanon, Iran, or Algeria. The Jerusalem Post added: “Additionally, on Tuesday, KAN news reported that Saleh al-Arouri, a senior member of Hamas, left his usual residence in Beirut for Turkey.” Other countries that have given refuge to Hamas in the past include Syria, though that is probably too close
Harvard cancels congressman who mocked
Harvard’s speech hypocrisy

Harvard was once a reputable institution. Now, though, it’s a joke, and, moving forward, any parent who pays for it or young person who goes into debt for it has inadvertently taken an IQ test and proved to be only in the double digits. The latest example of Harvard’s fall, not just from grace but from decency, is the fact that two days after its president, Claudine Gay, insisted that its devotion to free speech was so absolute that even genocidal rhetoric deserved its day, Harvard canceled a Democrat congressman who had spoken slightingly of Gay’s remarks. I’m sure you’re familiar by now with what Gay said.

This is the most astonishing thing. Harvard PRESIDENT Claudine Gay is going to keep her schweet, schweet gig. Gobsmacking. She held on in the face of that ghastly, arrogant, heartless, anti-Semitic performance before Congress with the other “Poison Ivies.” The one where Ms Gay repeatedly refused to answer whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated Harvard’s policies. …Everything from the rot of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and the new racial segregation on campus to academia’s rigid, intolerant ideological partisanship, and its funding by nefarious foreign entities, was laid bare for the nation to see.

President Joe Biden warned Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday that Israel might lose international support over its post-war plans for Gaza. At a Democratic fundraiser in Washington, D.C., Biden called the current Israeli government the “most conservative government in Israel’s history” and added that Netanyahu “doesn’t want a two-state solution,” which Biden said needs to change. “Israel’s security can rest on the United States, but right now it has more than the United States. It has the European Union, it has Europe, it has most of the world. . . . But they’re starting to lose that support by indiscriminate bombing that takes place,” Biden said.

As Cop28 in Dubai enters its final hours, the emotional weight of the moment is hard to bear. I find myself thinking of a six-year-old boy called Desmond I met in Turkana county, Kenya, who died from severe acute malnutrition on the same day. His death was the result of a climate-induced drought that has left millions of people on the brink of starvation in the Horn of Africa. I want the negotiators deciding the outcome of Cop28 to know Desmond’s story. Because in the end, the climate crisis is not about pledges, statistics, reports or activists. It’s about human suffering and ruined lives. It’s about death.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back at United States plans to place a reformed Palestinian Authority in Gaza once Israel’s military campaign to oust Gaza is finished. "Gaza will be neither Hamastan nor Fatahstan,” he said on Tuesday. Netanyahu spoke as United States President Joe Biden has faced increased pressure to pressure Israel to halt the Gaza war, sparked by Hamas’ infiltration of southern Israel and the killing of over 1,200 people and seizure of some 250 hostages. The US has backed Israel’s military campaign, sending military and financial assistance. It vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire that failed to condemn Hamas.

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz argued that various studies departments such as “Black Studies, Gay Studies, South Asian Studies, Jewish Studies” should all be abolished. Dershowitz stated, “[T]hese departments have tenured professors who can’t be fired. The departments, however, can be abolished. And we should abolish Black Studies, Gay Studies, South Asian Studies, Jewish Studies. You go to a university to study, to learn how to think, not to be part of a club, not to become part of a cheering section. And these departments, some of them are quite good academically, but many of them, for example, Critical Race Theory

Harvard University did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

According to the Higher Ground website, Leave the World Behind throws a white and black couple together during a massive cyberattack: A family’s (Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke) vacation is upended when two strangers (Mahershala Ali and Myha’la) arrive at night, seeking refuge from a cyberattack that grows more terrifying

Ron DeSantis is running as the true-blue conservative in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. And he's learning the hard way that Republicans don't nominate true-blue conservatives. As Donald Trump leads every poll by double-digits, the Florida governor who seemed such a promising prospect just a year ago is now at risk of falling to third place. If Nikki Haley bests DeSantis in Iowa, his 2024 campaign won't be the only casualty; his hopes of ever becoming president will dim, and rivals won't fear him as they look to '28 or '32. How did DeSantis go from a 19-point reelection only a year ago to a fight for his political life today?

"At long last, we’re building the first high-speed rail project in our nation’s history. And it’s starting here.” That was President Joe Biden announcing last week that us taxpayers will be ponying up $3 billion to help a private company build a bullet train from Los Angeles to Las Vegas so gambleholics can start losing money more quickly.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden goes into next year’s election with a vexing challenge: Just as the U.S. economy is getting stronger, people are still feeling horrible about it. Pollsters and economists say there has never been as wide a gap between the underlying health of the economy and public perception. The divergence could be a decisive factor in whether the Democrat secures a second term next year. Republicans are seizing on the dissatisfaction to skewer Biden, while the White House is finding less success as it tries to highlight economic progress.

At least, he probably does not think so.
