'The Black Day': A Decade of Displacement
for Iraqi Christians
Posted By: FlyRight, 8/20/2024 5:33:34 AM
August 6 marked the tenth anniversary of "the Black Day," a day indelible to Iraqi Christians as the start of the unrelenting atrocities to which they were subjected on August 6, 2014, ten years ago. On that day, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) unleashed a jihadi massacre of unprecedented terror, brutally attacking ancient Christian communities across northern Iraq. Villages were overrun, homes and churches looted and destroyed, and countless lives shattered. Christians were murdered, raped and sold into slavery.

When my twin brother and I were children, we had a magical machine called a Victrola. We were able to put "33" and "45" and "78" records––I never learned what those numbers stood for––on the turntable and place the handle with the needle on each record to listen to the music we loved.
But every now and then, the needle, if not perfectly placed, would scratch the record, and that would result in the music being unable to go forward. I remember it once got stuck on Oh What a Beautiful Morning from the musical “Oklahoma,” and all we heard on an endless loop was morning, morning, morning, morning…
The Israeli military said Tuesday that it recovered the bodies of six hostages taken in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that started the war in Gaza.
The recovery came as the United States, Egypt and Qatar are trying to mediate a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas that would see the release of scores of hostages held by the militant group.
The military said in a statement that its forces recovered the bodies in an overnight operation in southern Gaza. It identified the hostages as Yagev Buchshtab, Alexander Dancyg, Avraham Munder, Yoram Metzger, Nadav Popplewell and Haim Perry, without saying when or how they died.

The Words We Need to Win in ’24

Living in one of the most far-left communities in the United States for the past many decades, I am intimately familiar with the mindset of the left — the liberals, leftists, progressives, or whatever they’re calling themselves today.
And as the entire world has witnessed over the past eight years, since the man they used to lionize and admire — and rewarded with a 15-year boffo success Tv show, The Apprentice — descended the escalator in Trump Tower in 2015 and announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States, a true mass hysteria erupted to denounce,

Kamala Harris was in Pennsylvania on Sunday.
We reported earlier on some of her remarks, including a word salad about democracy. Number one, this is a nutty riff that she's done before. But number two, it's hilarious that she, of all people, is talking about "democracy" when the folks who helped to install her shoved the guy who got more than 14 million votes in the primary out of the race. She didn't get one vote in the primary for the top position. So really, they have some nerve talking about "democracy," given what they've done. She's actually the beneficiary of a coup and an "attack" on democracy.
Former President Donald Trump declared there has “never been a more dangerous time since the Holocaust” to be Jewish in the US on Saturday night.
The Republican presidential candidate made the remarks at a campaign rally event in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania, where he claimed Vice President Kamala Harris decided against choosing Penn. Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate because he is Jewish.
“They turned him down because he’s Jewish,” Trump told a packed house at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
“They turned him down for other reasons, but the primary reason is because he’s Jewish,”
Donald Trump is one of only two Republican three-time presidential nominee in history.
That achievement was unthinkable in January 2020.
Back then, his personal polls had hit rock bottom after the Jan. 6 Capitol demonstrations.
Republicans had just lost two Senate seats to hard leftists in Georgia.
With those defeats, an increasingly unpopular Trump was blamed by many Republicans for losing the Senate, along with the House. He was faulted for allowing the Biden-Harris administration to implement the most hard-left agenda in the modern era.
Over the subsequent two years, a demonized Trump faced four separate criminal proceedings and a civil suit,
Iran has made no secret of the immense importance it places on the US protests – as a way to export its Islamic Revolution. They have been making it clear that the regime sees the protesters at US campuses as an Iranian fifth column in America to be used in the future....
According to the analysts, "60 percent of Pro-Palestine campus protestors were not authentic online users...." — XPOZ analyst, iranintel.com, August 2, 2024.
At UCLA, "Those who occupied encampments on the university's property disallowed Jews from passing through the quad unless they would disavow Israel and, by extension, their Jewish faith.

Plan: The Total Annihilation of Israel

This conflict is a battle for survival not only for Israel but for the region, and ultimately for Europe and the United States.
Israel understands the stakes: Iran's belligerency requires an unequivocally committed response from the United States. In that part of the world, wishy-washy means a green light, open season. The consequences are assumed to vary from minimal to non-existent – and often even a profit!
Iran has no interest in becoming a sand dune. That is why it has proxies, so that they will do the attacking and take the incoming retaliation, ensuring that their devoted patron, Iran, will not have to. Iran's proxies are its human shields.
With the announcement of the 2025 transition team well in advance, you might note that President Donald Trump is taking a much more aggressive stance on the vetting of potential members of his administration. This is a critical and necessary proactive plan; it should be considered a very good sign.
President Trump has appointed Linda McMahon and Howard Lutnick as co-chairs of the transition team. However, President Trump has also appointed JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump as honorary chairs, likely with veto authority over any staffing recommendation.
France: Political Chaos

Rebellious France is not only a far-left party, it is also a party tinged with anti-Semitism and counts supporters of Islamism and terrorist groups such as Hamas in its ranks.
The left-wing coalition has clearly been gaining ground. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of Rebellious France, to emphasize that he accepts anti-Semitism and supports Hamas and Islamism, gave a speech about his party's results while standing on stage next to an Islamist pro-Hamas activist, newly-elected Member of European Parliament Rima Hassan. Hassan wore a keffiyeh and displayed on her clothes a small Palestinian flag.
Remember when the Politico story first hit about the stupid leaking from inside the Trump campaign and I said, “they got nothing.”
Politico sat on the story for 19-days while they talked to the leaker and reviewed the information they were sharing. That’s how you know there was nothing in the leaked files from the “Trump insider.” Because if there was anything damaging, it would be 24/7 publishing with hundreds of stories about it.
However, with nothing of value coming from the DHS leak to Politico, the Associated Press now spins the story to proclaim the magnanimity of the media for not reporting on “hacked” documents. Too Funny!

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has waded into American politics once again, saying that he is worried about his safety if Donald Trump returns to the White House and that the left-wing Labour Party should openly support the campaign of Kamala Harris.
The far-left Mayor of London, who has a long history of public verbal spats with former President Donald Trump, said in an interview with the globalist New Statesman this week that he has personal fears of the Republican nominee being victorious in the presidential election in November.
Joe Biden was up to his old tricks last night when talking about billionaires and what they pay in taxes. He has been lying about this for years so why stop now. CNN fact-checked him this morning:
During his speech, Biden asked the audience if they knew what the average billionaire in the United States pays in taxes.
“We have a thousand billionaires in America. You know what the average tax rate they pay? 8.2%,” Biden said.
Facts First: Biden used this figure in a way that was misleading. As in previous remarks, including his State of the Union address in March, Biden didn’t explain that the figure is the product
For a moment on Tuesday, it was 2008 all over again at the Democratic National Convention.
“I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling fired up. I am feeling ready to go,” former president Barack Obama said to open his headlining speech, harking back to his 2008 campaign chant. “I am feeling hopeful, because this convention has always been pretty good to kids with funny names who believe in a country where anything is possible.”
There were the chants of “Yes, we can” and “Yes, she can.” There was the talk of “hope making a comeback,” a blatant effort by the Democrats to try to inject some of Obama’s 2008 magic
In a follow up to his nonsensical and false analysis from the previous evening, CNN’s Chris Wallace kicked off Night Two of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday by boasting about Vice President Kamala Harris’s “love affair” with American voters.
Calling it “a very interesting thing,” Wallace touted how “Joe Biden dropped out of this race 30 days ago, and that is played very much to Kamala Harris's advantage.” According to him, that advantage meant, “She's had this kind of speed dating relationship with voters and so far, it's a love affair!”
Does her husband, Doug know?!
The analogy falls apart when one takes into consideration that even in speed dating,
Former First Lady Michelle Obama played the race card against former President Donald Trump in her speech to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on Tuesday night, accusing him of opposing her and former President Barack Obama because of racism.
Gone was the speaker who told Democrats in 2016, “When they go low, we go high.” Instead, there was this, on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris:We know folks are gonna do everything they can to distort her truth. My husband and I, sadly, know a little something about this. For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power try to make people fear us.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made her entrance on the stage of the Democrat National Convention in Chicago to Sara Bareilles' song, "Brave," followed by a standing ovation and a ton of applause. Next to AOC's speech, this was the most energy exhibited at what has been a fairly lackluster Night 1 of the DNC.
Clinton noted the rise in energy.
Wow. There's a lot of energy in this room, just like there is across the country! Something, something is happening in America! You can feel it. Something we've worked for and dreamed of for a long time.
First, though, let's salute President Biden.

The Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday requested the U.S. Supreme Court “deny” Republicans’ bid to enforce an Arizona law requiring individuals to prove they’re U.S. citizens when registering and voting in elections.
Arguing on behalf of the administration, U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar requested that the nation’s highest court instead allow a lower court decision — one prohibiting the implementation of provisions of the statute in question — to remain in effect for the November election.
ABC News anchor Linsey Davis — who will moderate the first debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris — linked Trump to the KKK during an interview at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night.
Davis was speaking to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer when she connected Trump to the KKK. She said to Whitmer:
As you know, former President Donald Trump is expected to go campaign in Howell, Michigan, tomorrow. Many people are aware that a month ago, in Howell, KKK protesters marched in the streets with the white robes on and suggested that they support Donald Trump.
Democrats always find creative ways to sink to new lows when it comes to rhetoric, and Democrat Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear went straight to the depths of Hell this morning to make a disturbing statement about Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) and his family.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Day One at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago was a total catastrophe with pro-Hamas protesters breaking through barriers, several speakers screaming like banshees, and Joe Biden melting down on stage as expected.
Beshear gave a speech on Monday evening piling on this disaster by celebrating abortion on demand.
About a quarter of British households are so worried about their electricity bills they are considering spending next heating season without heat or hot water, a survey by Citizens Advice has suggested.
The concern follows plans by the national electricity market regulator to raise the cap on bills by another 9.2%, equal to 150 pounds or $195. The Citizens Advice report said the percentage of those worried about the affordability of their electricity was substantially higher among households with children, where the percentage was 31%, and low-income households, where 39% were worried about the coming heating season.
A recent hire at the nuclear security wing of the Department of Energy has previously called for disarmament policies – which reduce or eliminate nuclear weapons – arguing that advancing "queer theory" was essential to that agenda as well as important to America's national security. The Biden-Harris administration announced Sneha Nair had been appointed as special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration in February 2024. Nair believes in eradicating purported "White supremacy" in the nuclear field as well as "queering nuclear weapons" as part of a diversity, equity and inclusion push she believes is essential for deterring threats to nuclear energy facilities in the U.S.
Kamala Harris' stepdaughter Ella Emhoff has been brutally roasted for the outfit she wore to the first night of the Democratic National Convention - while other critics have called her dad 'weird' and 'creepy' for the way he showed affection.
The budding model, 25, who has been making waves in the fashion world recently, was spotted supporting her stepmom at the event on Monday evening alongside 'first gentleman' dad Doug Emhoff, 59.
But some were quick to criticize the simple white ensemble Ella had chosen to wear to cheer on Kamala, 59, in Chicago's United Center.
