Are Israelis Still Leaving The Country?
Many months ago during one of his livestreams, Richard Medhurst commented on the number of Israelis leaving the country amidst the conflicts not only involving Palestine, but Syria, Lebanon and Iran. So what's happened since then? Well: Keep in mind that having a population that equals or exceeds the number of Palestinians is an important feature in maintaining Israel's claim as a nation-state.

One Possible Explanation Why It's Been So Hard To Propagandize The Public On Gaza
Despite the recent UN vote on Gaza , the people's opinion of Israel is not expected to rise anytime soon and the push to consolidate conservatives has been less-than beneficial . As a result, Zionists are, as Caitlin Johnstone puts it, are "freaking out:" Why hasn't the propaganda worked? There's a three-word response that explain: "Muslims aren't Nazis." Historically, Jewish people have garnered much-deserved sympathy for what happened during the rise of Nazi Germany. The concentration camps, the torture, the deaths...if any group had a reason to demonize Nazis, it was Jewish people (and it would be foolish to infer that other groups and/or nations didn't suffer from either being occupied or at war with Nazi Germany so let's keep this in mind as well). The thing is, Muslims did not preform a Holocaust on the Jewish People in Europe. Palestinians did not round up Israelis and put them into concentration camps. Neither did Iranians, the Le...

Would *YOUR* Church Help a Mother In Need?
If this social media experiment is to be believed, the odds are, sadly, "No, they wouldn't." A woman in Kentucky has gone viral online after posting a series of videos where she asks churches if they will help to feed a starving baby. The results have shocked social-media users, and the videos have amassed views by the million. Nikalie Monroe, who describes herself on TikTok as a left-wing Army veteran and a lesbian, has been filming the series as a social experiment—the “starving baby” she refers to is not real. Monroe does not have a child; instead, she uses the scenario to test how churches respond to pleas for help.

Once Again, Democrats Snatch Defeat From the Jaws of Victory

Is America Re-Defining "Terrorism?" (Or, What Is "NSPM-7"?)
"Thought Police" in full effect. Klippenstein's article can be found here . From the article: The Trump administration isn’t only targeting organizations or groups but even individuals and “entities” whom NSPM-7 says can be identified by any of the following “indicia” (indicators) of violence: anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, support for the overthrow of the United States Government, extremism on migration, extremism on race, extremism on gender hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.
Newsweek: USDA Tells Grocery Stores Not to Give Discounts to Customers
Oh SNAP : The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has told grocery stores not to give special discounts to around 42 million Americans who use food stamps. An email sent by the department to stores, posted on X by Catherine Rampell, co-host of MSNBC's The Weekend, said: “You cannot treat SNAP-EBT customers differently than any other customer.” The directive comes as benefit payments remain on hold during the ongoing federal government shutdown. Newsweek contacted USDA via its website on Monday, outside of regular working hours for comment. [SNIP] USDA emailed grocery stores around the country telling them not to offer special discounts or deals to SNAP recipients amid the freeze, warning that doing so would violate the program’s “Equal Treatment Rule.” That rule requires stores to sell eligible food items to SNAP-EBT customers at the same prices and under the same conditions as other shoppers. The email said: “Offering discounts or services only to SNAP-eligible customers...
2025 Fan Casting: Who Would Make the Best Storm?
First off, I have little complaints about the job Halle Berry and Alexandra Shipp did in their respective turns as the Ororo Munroe of the Fox X-Men movies. And we are expecting Berry to reprise this role for the MCU's continuing foray into the Multiverse . That said, it's probably time to cast a new Storm. So ahead of the expected "sacred timeline" version of the X-Men making their debut , and in honor of her " upgrade " let's go over one humble man's choices for one of Marvel's most powerful and famous characters. NOTE: Thanks to the wonders of CGI and motion capture, as well as the time-honored tradition of stunt doubles, things like " are they 6 feet? " is less of a concern now than say, the last time I was fan-casting Wonder Woman. So we can focus more on the acting and overall presence here; in other words: if they were to wear the costume (real, CGI or otherwise) would they make us think, "Yo; that is STORM!" o...
Watch & Learn: The Ronald Reagan Speech That A Canadian Province Used In An Ad That Pissed Off Donald Trump
Due Dissidence covers the ad in question: And here's Reagan's speech:
For The Record (AKA, Regarding Third Term Presidents)...
Aside from the fact that 22nd Amendment to the Constitution limits US Presidents to two terms, if one were to find some type of loophole through it, it means that the following could run for a third term: Donald Trump Bill Clinton George W. Bush Barack Obama (Joe Biden only served on term, so he's still Constitutionally eligible). So if anyone is trying to push for any of these four to run again, they'll be hard-pressed to reason why the other three can't run also.
You "Cease," They "Fire."
From NBC News : Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the country's military to launch "powerful" airstrikes on Gaza on Tuesday, imperiling the fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire. "Following security consultations, Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed the military echelon to carry out powerful strikes in the Gaza Strip immediately," his office said in a statement. It was not immediately clear if the strikes had been launched. Earlier, Netanyahu said that the remains of a hostage returned by Hamas overnight were body parts of another hostage who was recovered in Gaza by Israeli troops almost two years ago. Under the truce, Hamas is expected to return all Israeli hostage remains as soon as possible. Netanyahu's instructions come just weeks after Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire. The deal saw the exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, and prompted high hopes that fighting between the two sides would end. Imagine deciding to re-en...

" Look, look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don’t know anything about it. You know what that means? They’re fighting for their life. Nothing’s benefiting Argentina. They’re fighting for their life. You understand what that means? They have no money, they have no anything, they’re fighting so hard to survive. If I can help them survive in a free world — I happen to like the president of Argentina, I think he’s trying to do the best he can. But don’t make it sound like they’re doing great. They are dying.

Quote of the Day (Or, Why Does The Us Want To Attack Venezuela?)
The petrodollar system. Without (at minimum) economic war on Venezuela, the US dollar would collapse. Venezuela has more oil than any country on earth. But it’s not simply that the US wants that oil. If that were the case, they would make a deal with Maduro, which he offered if the US would end the belligerence. In order for the US to print endless money (for things like our a trillion-dollar-a-year death machine), the US dollar needs to remain the global reserve currency. And for that to happen, it needs the petrodollar to remain strong. And for that to happen, fossil fuels around the world must continue to be bought and sold in US dollars. If VZ were to be allowed full output of its massive oil reserves, much (if not all) would be sold in other currencies. This would greatly harm the petrodollar. It would also make Venezuela, a socialist country, one of the richest and most powerful countries on earth. -- Lee Camp explaining America's motives (and revealing the New York Times...
A Pentagon Policy So Unpalatable That Fox News and Newsmax Reject It.
Via the Associated Press : News organizations including The New York Times, The Associated Press and the conservative Newsmax television network said Monday they will not sign a Defense Department document about its new press rules, making it likely the Trump administration will evict their reporters from the Pentagon. Those outlets say the policy threatens to punish them for routine news gathering protected by the First Amendment. The Washington Post, The Atlantic and Reuters on Monday also publicly joined the group that says it will not be signing. AP confirmed Monday afternoon that it would not sign. “Reuters is bound by its commitment to accurate, impartial and independent news,” the agency said in a statement. “We also steadfastly believe in the press protections afforded by the U.S. Constitution, the unrestricted flow of information and journalism that serves the public interest without fear or favor. The Pentagon’s new restrictions erode these fundamental values.” Defense S...

The American Right Appears Divided On ICE, Israel, and The Superbowl.
A triple-header of videos from Due Dissidence on these topics: Keep in mind, this is the American Right going at each other (establishment vs non-establishment to a degree), with the Republicans trying to manage everything and keep the coalition together. The Democrats of course are either playing possum, holding firm to their donor's demands, or trying to invoke a new "Obama-type" candidate so they can trick convince enough of the American Left to vote for them.
ICE Actions Are Not Actually Something Americans Want
Via Scheerpost : For a nation of immigrants, the Trump administration’s attacks on immigration are nothing short of heartbreaking. Each day, we’re seeing neighbors kidnapped from our streets, detained in unsafe and inhumane conditions, and deported without due process to countries they’ve never known. If there’s one silver lining, it’s this: The more Americans see of this agenda, the less they like it. And the more immigrants tell their stories, the better people understand why they belong. Over 15 percent of Americans are immigrants. If you live here, there’s a good chance you know one. Since the late 1800s, we’ve called on immigrants to work in industry, health care, hospitality, agriculture, and other essential jobs. Immigration is a core to our story about who we are. Immigrants contribute greatly to our culture and economy. They work jobs, pay taxes, volunteer in churches and schools, support American sports teams, and eat American foods. In 2022, immigrants paid nearly $100 ...
