There’s a Muslim phrase you need to know if you’re going to understand the war in Gaza and Israel.

Over 1,500 invaders streamed through. Some of
On Tuesday September 21st, Target announced that it was closing nine stores in four states in October because of a new form of organized crime—smash and grab robberies, flash robberies.

Digital IDs are sweeping the world, but are barely seeping into America. This American techno-sluggishness has disturbing implications.

In my opinion, the sooner Vladimir Putin leaves the planet the better. He’s a mass murderer. But the fact is that Putin has pulled off a miracle. The news media says that the mutiny against Russia’s military leaders on Saturday June 24 shows Putin’s weakness. But that’s dead wrong. The mutiny shows Vladimir Putin’s strength. Why? On
Rupert Murdoch’s US Sun just headlined “The Complete Destruction of the UK in six minutes.” Why?
