on Their Play ‘October 7’: ‘Only
Play Opening in New York that Needs Permanent
Police Protection’
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/16/2024 12:15:09 AM
The new play October 7: In Their Own Words brings to life the Hamas terrorist attack through the actual words of Israelis who lived through the cataclysmic day. Based on interviews conducted by the play’s producers — Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer — the stage drama revisits what they call the “darkest day in Israel’s history.” October 7, which runs through June 16 at the Actors Temple Theatre in New York, arrives at a time of surging anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiment in major cities and universities, with protestors clashing with law enforcement and, in some cases, even expressing sympathy for Hamas.

With the prosecution winding down in Donald Trump’s Manhattan case, we have to ask, in the immortal words of Peggy Lee: Is that all there is?
It’s become utterly apparent (if wasn’t already) that the key element of any prosecution is missing here: namely, a crime.
Yes, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg developed a totally novel legal theory by which 34 misdemeanor counts of business-records falsification, though past the statute of limitations, could be converted into felony charges because they were — allegedly — in the service of covering up another crime.
But Bragg’s team forgot to offer any evidence that the records were falsified.
First lady and fake “doctor” Jill Biden ludicrously claimed Saturday that former President Donald Trump will destroy the public education system if reelected to office.
Speaking at the United Federation of Teachers’ annual spring conference, she argued instead that her husband, President Joe Biden, is the one who’ll bless public education.
“I always believed that Joe would be the best education president,” she said, according to the New York Post.
Uh huh … [Tweet]
Trump, on the other hand, “wakes up every morning caring about one person — and one person only — himself,” she added.
“Donald Trump doesn’t want to strengthen our public education system — he wants to destroy it,”
A new study has found that people who’ve undergone transgender surgery boast a much higher risk of committing suicide.
Published last month in Cureus, a medical science journal, the study specifically found that “[g]ender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risks.”
The researchers reached this conclusion by analyzing the healthcare data of 90 million adults aged 18 to 60. They specifically looked at emergency room treatment data for those who’d undergone transgender surgery.
The patients were divided into four groups — one containing people who’d undergone transgender surgery and an E.R. visit, and one containing people who’d undergone no transgender surgery but who had partaken in an E.R. visit.
When Georgia parents Corey and Diana Sullivan took their three-month-old daughter, Amelia, to the hospital, they had no idea that within 24 hours, their children would be removed from their home due to false allegations of child abuse. Diana spoke with RedState about the family and their ongoing fight to get their children back.
Corey and Diana met in middle school and married at 21, then spent 16 years trying to have children. Through in vitro fertilization (IVF), they finally succeeded, welcoming (now) four-year-old Arabella and eleven-month-old twins Amelia and Christian. "We were elated to find out that we were having twins," the mother recalled.
President Trump just can’t stop winning, as the many indictments levied against him by his political opponents continue to earn him billions of dollars worth of press coverage. In fact, these indictments and the resulting media storm are doing a better job of convincing doubters of the authenticity of his agenda than President Trump and his team could likely do on their own!
Suburban moderates and independents, the type of gilded voters most likely to be offended by Trump’s rhetorical bombast or otherwise buy into the anti-Trump propaganda blitz, are seeing a sort of coordinated, repellent injustice against Trump previously unfathomable within their narrow worldview.

I’m glad my kids are too young to realize just how stupid most of the people who lead our government are. I’d like them to be realists about idiots rising in power, but at 6 and 5 it’s a little too soon for that, let childhood bloom.
Meanwhile, the rest of us have to live in a world where our tax dollars pay the salaries of morons to have the equivalent of a “your mama” match in the halls of Congress.
Look, I don’t have a dog in that hunt – I’d say AOC is a mile wide and an inch deep, but she’s far too shallow for that,

Joe Biden was at Morehouse College on Sunday to give a commencement address.
But his confusion started even before he began to speak. He spent a lot of time staring off, looking like he was lost in space. [Video]
Then he confusingly clapped when there was a call for an "immediate and permanent ceasefire," which of course would help save Hamas (and not help our hostages or our ally Israel). [Video]
But I don't think Joe really knows what he stands for from one minute to the next at this point. He's just clapping by rote because other people are applauding, regardless of the reason.
With week four of the Alvin Bragg show trial in the books, it is now crystal clear (if somehow it already wasn’t) that the New York District Attorney has no case. As it stands, the two star witnesses for the prosecution – Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen – proved cataclysmic; so much so that even liberal talking heads like Anderson Cooper and Alyssa Farah fretted on networks like CNN, saying they would acquit President Trump of all allegations given just how bad Cohen’s testimony was.
Of course, what precisely those allegations are remains a mystery – to everyone, including likely Bragg himself.
A Centers for Disease Control report has linked 84 percent of the recent cases of measles in Chicago to illegal aliens from Venezuela.
The other 16 percent of cases are linked to people traveling from Peru and Chile.
The Daily Mail reports:
New information reveals that the spate of 57 cases at the Pilsen migrant shelter can be traced back to a one year-old boy who had only received one of the two vital vaccines.
The majority of the cases — 72 percent — were among unvaccinated people, the CDC said.
The report cites overcrowding at the center for the rampant spread, with 500 people said to be crammed into a single room.
Former Baltimore prosecutor and convicted fraudster Marilyn Mosby is begging President Joe Biden to pardon her as she awaits her sentence.
According to a letter sent to Biden by the Congressional Black Caucus on Thursday, Mosby claims that her conviction was politically motivated, prompting her to plead with Biden to save her from serving a potential 20 months in federal prison.
“As a nation that leads by example, our justice system must not be weaponized to prevent progress toward a more perfect union,” Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV) wrote in the letter. “We share your desire for racial equity, Mr. President and this Trump-era prosecution is in direct conflict

It looks like the incident at Quantico Marine Corps Base Quantico on May 3 might have been a test run for radical Islamic terrorists. Two individuals tried to infiltrate the base, driving a box truck. The pair attempted to enter the base by identifying as Amazon drivers. Security didn’t buy it, and without further valid identification, they were directed to a holding area for further vetting. The men tried avoiding the area and gaining access to the base before being apprehended. Both are Jordanian nationals, with one allegedly being on the terror watch list.
Democrats have pulled out all the stops to get former President Donald Trump out of the 2024 presidential race. However, it may be backfiring.
Swing state voters explained why the contentious Trump’s “hush-hush money” trial won’t cause them to vote for President Joe Biden despite the left’s desperate attempt to paint the GOP frontrunner as a bad guy.
Georgia and Michigan voters told MSNBC that the criminal trial against Trump will not paint Biden in a better light— saying the opposite actually.
“It’s actually making people more angry,” a Georgia voter told NBC News correspondent Blayne Alexander. “They know that this is a guy that he’s a billionaire.

As reported earlier by Cullen Linebarger – A helicopter carrying Iranian President and mass murderer Ebrahim Raisi crashed while visiting a northern region and his condition is currently unknown according to reports.
In addition to Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, along with other officials and bodyguards, were on the flight. The helicopter has been rpeortedly located around the village of Uzi in the forests of Arsbaran.
Twenty rescue teams and drones have been sent to the area. But emergency crews have so far been unable to reach the location due to foggy conditions.
Below is a video of the rescue teams attempting to locate Raisi’s helicopter.

President Joe Biden sharpened his racially-charged attack on former President Donald Trump during Sunday night's annual NAACP Detroit Branch Freedom Fund dinner.
'What do you think he would have done on January 6 if black Americans had stormed the Capitol?' Biden asked - as members of the crowd collectively gasped.
The president then added, 'No, I'm serious. What do you think? I can only imagine,' as Trump has long promised to pardon those involved in the 2021 Capitol attack if he's elected to a second term in November.
Self-described “Catholic” and “Republican” senate candidate Larry Hogan is advocating for “restoring Roe v. Wade as the law of the land.”
Hogan previously served as the governor of Maryland.
“As governor, I protected the rights of Maryland women to make their own reproductive health decisions. I will do the same in the Senate by restoring Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. No one should come between a woman and her doctor,” Hogan wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

President Joe Biden delivered a bleak commencement address this weekend, characterizing America as a racist place that does not love black people.
Biden gave a commencement speech at Morehouse College in Atlanta on Sunday where he appeared to characterize America in the harshest light in terms of race relations. “You started college just as George Floyd was murdered,” Biden proclaimed. “And there was a reckoning on race. It’s natural to wonder if the democracy you hear about actually works for you.”
Officials are pointing the finger at climate change as a Texas town battles with another spring of exploding mosquito populations.
"If you open the car door to go somewhere, you’ve got 10 mosquitoes inside," Mith Varley, a resident of the Houston suburb of Conroe, Texas, said of the issue, according to a report in the Washington Post.
Varley, who has lived in the area of Montgomery County for nearly 10 years, told the Washington Post he has never seen it worse. While the area of Texas has always been known as an ideal mosquito habitat,
Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi was pictured moments before the helicopter crash near the border with Azerbaijan which put his ‘life at risk’.
He was seen staring out of the window of the aircraft, which was traveling in Iran's East Azerbaijan province near Jolfa, around 375 miles northwest of Tehran when it crashed.
There have been conflicting reports among Iranian state media about whether the helicopter has been found following a frantic search mission.

The president is still missing hours after the crash and there is no confirmation they are close to finding Raisi.
The president didn't use Trump or the GOP's name as he addressed graduating seniors from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, but it was clear who he was talking about as he brought up January 6 amid their commencement ceremony.
'Insurrectionists who stormed the capitol with Confederate flags are called patriots by some,' Biden told the seniors, graduating from the historically black, all-male institution. 'Not in my house.'
Trump often refers to his supporters who ramsacked the Capitol by that term.
'Black police officers, black veterans, protecting the Capitol were called another word as you recall,' Biden continued.
The president added that 'extremists close the doors of opportunity.'

The IC is coming after Judge Sam Alito, but not because of his non pretending, general J6 disdain, solid grasp on the fraud that is Joe Biden,(snip), the IC has been coming for Justice Alito since Chief Justice John Robert’s internal court counselor’s lead office staff Sheldon Snook, the husband of Mary McCord, leaked the Alito decision [Dobbs Decision] overturning Roe and sending the abortion issue back to the states.(snip), Judge Alito appears to be holding the line and forcing the IC to come out of the shadows after him. My hunch is he’s just had enough.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi suffered a “hard landing” on Sunday, Iranian state media reported, without immediately elaborating.
Raisi was traveling in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province. State TV said the incident happened near Jolfa, a city on the border with with the nation of Azerbaijan, some 600 kilometers (375 miles) northwest of the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Traveling with Raisi were Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, the governor of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province and other officials, the state-run IRNA news agency reported. One local government official used the word “crash” to describe the incident, but he acknowledged to an Iranian newspaper that he had yet to reach

In 1975 a Frenchman, Jean Raspail, wrote a fictional account of how western civilization was destroyed by unrestricted immigration from the Third World. His work, The Camp of the Saints, has been out of print for some time, but it again became popular in 2011 and Amazon now is offering it on Kindle and you can read it free online. I urge you to do so, because it is probably the most prescient novel you will ever read.
Every day on X (formerly Twitter) I read accounts from around the world of the increased crime,
President Joe Biden's motorcade drove through deep blue Atlanta this weekend to little fanfare, leading many to wonder about the enthusiasm for his 2024 campaign.
In 2020, the president became the first Democrat to win a presidential election in Georgia in 30 years. The party also won both senate seats in the Southern state.
But the state's landscape has shifted significantly over the last four years, with recent polls suggesting former president Donald Trump is in the lead in the Peach State.
