Bernie Sanders Accuses Israel of War Crimes, Goes Easy on Hamas

Red State ^ | 10/11/2023 | Jeff Charles
Here we go again with the one-sided condemnations of Israel, which was viciously attacked by Hamas on Saturday. The assault claimed the lives of hundreds of Israelis, many of whom were civilians deliberately targeted by the organization’s operatives. After striking back, Israel began facing criticism from the left for defending itself. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) recently issued a statement echoing the same claptrap coming from his contemporaries. In his statement, Sanders criticized Hamas for its murderous rampage through the streets of Israel. “The gunning down of young Israelis at a music festival is an image the world will not soon...
 

Philly DA to Judges: Take It Easy on ‘Fundamentally Law-Abiding’ Looters

Breitbart ^ | 10/05/2023 | AWR HAWKINS
Philadelphia District Attorney (DA) Larry Krasner wants judges to weigh cases against looters on an individual basis and restrain themselves from being too hard on “fundamentally law-abiding” looters. Krasner is a progressive with ties to billionaire George Soros. In 2017, WHYY reported that Soros gave nearly $1.7 million to Krasner’s campaign, helping him secure the DA office he currently holds. In the wake of the highly publicized scenes of looting that occurred in Philly during past weeks, Krasner is now asking judges to keep in mind that the looters are not all the same; that some of them are actually...
 

Off-Grid Living May Look Easy on Instagram But This Family’s Tragic Ending Tells a Different Story

It has been reported that the family had watched YouTube tutorials to prepare for living in the wildnerness.Earlier this month, a solo hiker near the Gold Creek Campground made the grim discovery of the bodies of Rebecca Vance, 42; her 14-year-old son; and her sister, Christine Vance, 41, all residents of Colorado Springs. The mummified remains of a family who attempted to live off-grid were discovered in July in Colorado's Gunnison National Forest. According to NBC News, the family reportedly relied only on YouTube videos. It's a sad lesson in the dangers of unprepared wilderness living. The pandemic inspired off-grid...
 

UNC-Chapel Hill Got Off Easy. Texas A&M’s recent hiring scandal shows the costs of opposing campus wokeness are rising.

James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^ | October 2, 2023 | Maria Servold
If there’s one thing journalism schools should know by now, it is not to hire professors based on their DEI credibility, as such moves will likely lead to conflict. But in a world where news outlets seek to promote advocacy over objectivity, such hirings are not surprising. UNC-Chapel Hill’s debacle with Nikole Hannah-Jones in 2021, while illustrating the point, is not nearly as absurd as the new peak of ridiculousness reached at Texas A&M University (TAMU) in August. As has been widely reported, the institution was forced to settle with former New York Times editor Kathleen McElroy for $1 million,...
 

JFK Is Easy, Now Do TWA Flight 800

American Thinker ^ | September 12th, 2023 | Jack Cashill
Speaking of Kennedy, no single American has felt the sting of the Times’ historic disdain for so-called conspiracy theorists more than JFK’s legendary press secretary, Pierre Salinger. Unlike Landis, Salinger made the mistake of exposing a conspiracy that was very much in play when he exposed it. I speak here of the case of TWA Flight 800. The 747 was en route from New York to Paris when it crashed off the coast of Long Island in July 1996, killing all 230 people on board.
 

Trump Makes It Look Easy As The Gap Between Him And DeSantis Grows To Biggest Lead Yet: POLL

DC Enquirer ^ | 09.11.2023 | Connor Cavanaugh
Donald Trump is entirely unwilling to release his vice grip on the Republican primary with the latest polling putting the New York business mogul an astounding 56 percent ahead of second place Ron DeSantis (R-FL) who is struggling to gain any ground in the race.The poll comes from Tipp Insights who ran an online national poll between August 30 and September 1 asking 509 Republican voters “If the Republican presidential primary were held today, whom would you support for the nomination?” The poll noted a +/- 4.4 percent margin or error.Former President Trump has managed to keep his hold on...
 

Why are Democrats working so hard to keep Trump off the ballot if he is so easy to beat?

American Thinker ^ | September 5, 2023 | Jack Hellner
Here's a news story showing just how stupid it's gotten out there:Could the 14th Amendment keep Trump off ballot in 2024?A legal theory gaining traction argues that Donald Trump’s actions surrounding the insurrection disqualify him from being president.Every headline like this is an attempt to interfere in the 2024 election, by intentionally misleading the public. The media and other Democrats have sought to destroy Trump for over seven years no matter how many lies they have to tell. You see it everywhere now yet it contradicts what they have been saying earlier: Democrats "cautioning" Republicans not to nominate President Trump...
 

In California This Weekend, We Saw, Again, How Easy It Is to Panic Americans

Townhall ^ | 08/22/2023 | Dennis Prager
I am writing this column on a beautiful sunny day in Southern California. It is a Monday in mid-August, so it is not a national holiday, yet in Los Angeles County, where I live, all the schools and all government offices are closed. Why? Because, for the past week, the National Weather Service, state and local authorities, and national and local media have been ceaselessly warning that a tropical storm would hit Southern California on Sunday night and Monday with a "life-threatening" intensity not seen since the last tropical storm hit California in 1939, 84 years ago. On Saturday, CNN...
 

California's doctor-assisted deaths surged 63% to 853 last year: critics say state law is unconstitutional, has made it too easy to get lethal drugs, and 'steers' disabled people to suicide

UK Daily Mail ^ | 08/15/2023 | James Reinl
Record numbers of people ended their lives in California last year in America's biggest doctor-assisted suicide program, after lawmakers made it easier for residents to get their hands on lethal drugs. Last year, 1,270 people got fatal prescriptions under the state's End of Life Option Act (ELOA), and 853 people used them to end their lives, the California Department of Public Health said in its annual report. That's a jump from 863 scripts and 522 deaths the previous year. The data come amid growing concerns that California, Oregon, and other US states are liberalizing their assisted-suicide programs too quickly and...

Santa Cruz Sentinel ^ | August 6, 2023 | CALIFORNIA HEALTHLINE
SANTA CRUZ — From an early age, Pasha Wrangell felt different. Societal expectations of boys, and many characteristics of masculinity, did not match how Wrangell felt inside. Bullied and ostracized, Wrangell started repressing those feelings in middle school and kept them bottled up for a long time. That led to decades of sadness, isolation, and even a couple of suicide attempts. What gnawed at Wrangell was gender dysphoria, a condition widely acknowledged in the medical community, which causes severe distress to people whose sexual identity does not match their sex assigned at birth.

VIDEO: Getting on a Paddleboard is Incredibly EASY

Rumble ^ | July 28, 2023 | DUmmie FUnnies
VIDEOFor some reason, "Inside Edition" thinks getting on a paddleboard can be difficult but, as you can see, it is easy peasy. A lot EASIER that putting on a pair of swim fins in the water which is why I put them on at the beach and walk backwards into the water. Still a lot more difficult than the incredibly SIMPLE task of getting on a paddleboard. And for all you conspiracy theorists out there, the Obamas were not even on Martha's Vineyard island at the time of the drowning. ....OOOOPS! There has been a "clarification" on that information.
 

Top Rhode Island Democrat gets off easy after keying constituent's car with anti-Biden sticker on it

What kind of a man keys another man's car because he doesn't like its bumper sticker — and then blames the victim when he's caught? These days, it may well be an elected Democrat in high office lording it over us. That is what we see in Rhode Island, where a state senator got caught doing just that — and then got off easy for it. A Democratic state senator in Rhode Island who was caught keying a car because it had a 'Biden sucks' bumper sticker has been sentenced to pay $3,000 in restitution. Joshua Miller, 69, who serves...
 

Ukraine’s counter-offensive is failing, with no easy fixes

The Telegragh ^ | 21 July 23 | Richard Kemp
With no significant breakthrough after six weeks, it is worth asking whether Ukraine’s counter-offensive can ever succeed, for it certainly doesn’t look to be succeeding now. Compare the glacial but costly progress today to the lightning victories at Kharkiv and Kherson last autumn. Back then Kyiv’s forces were advancing against a withdrawing enemy that was pulling back to redeploy troops, trading space for time. Having now built up their forces through mobilisation and dug extensive defence lines, this time the Russians aren’t going anywhere. That has left Ukraine with one option: launching frontal attacks against heavily defended positions, almost akin...

The UK Telegraph ^ | July 21, 2023 | Richard Kemp
With no significant breakthrough after six weeks, it is worth asking whether Ukraine’s counter-offensive can ever succeed, for it certainly doesn’t look to be succeeding now. (clip) The question to be asked is: are the Ukrainians prepared – militarily, politically, financially – to carry out months and potentially years of these (frontal assault) attacks to penetrate 1914-18 style defensive belts of tank traps, barbed wire, minefields, bunkers and trench lines? The UK Ministry of Defence has described these Russian fortifications as “some of the most extensive systems of military defensive works seen anywhere in the world”. (clip) Ukraine is already...
 

Daily Mass Gospel Reflection- The overly easy, Yoke of Christ

Word on Fire Ministry ^ | 07..20..23 | Bishop Robert Barron
Friends, in today’s Gospel, the Lord offers to relieve us of our burdens. He is identifying everyone who feels oppressed by the world: by sin, worries, suffering, injustice, the death of a relative or friend, the fear of death—whatever it may be.Relief comes when we submit to his kingship, his new way of ordering things. We are meant to imagine ourselves as pack animals who have been tied under a yoke and are under the command of a farmer. It seems rather demeaning, but this is what submission to Christ’s lordship looks like: we serve his purposes and go where...
 

Clinical trial set to change kidney transplant practice (Very easy saline change decreases dialysis need by 25%)

Medical Xpress / University of Queensland / The Lancet ^ | July 10, 2023 | Michael G Collins et al
A major clinical trial has found a simple change to world practice for kidney transplants could deliver real benefits for recipients and reduce their need for dialysis by 25%. The BEST-Fluids trial was conducted by the Australasian Kidney Trials Network (AKTN). Professor David Johnson said the trial assessed the use of an intravenous fluid containing sodium, potassium, magnesium and chloride in proportions similar to human blood—instead of the usual practice of using normal saline (sodium chloride and water). "Of those study participants who received intravenous Plasma-Lyte 148, 30% needed dialysis after their transplants, compared to 40% for those given normal...
 

Wall Street to the Fed: Inflation Is Over. Give Us More Easy Money!

Mises Institute ^ | June 14, 2023 | Ryan McMaken
The federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released new price inflation data Tuesday, and according to the report, price inflation during May decelerated, coming in at the lowest year-over-year increase in twenty-six months. According to the BLS, Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rose 4.0 percent year over year in May before seasonal adjustment. That’s down from April’s year-over-year increase of 4.9 percent, and May is the twenty-seventh month in a row with inflation above the Fed’s arbitrary 2 percent inflation target. (More precisely, the Fed targets a two-percent rate in the PCE measure.) Meanwhile, month-over-month inflation rose 0.1 percent...
 

Ukraine is kicking off its big offensive armed with powerful Western tanks and weapons, but breaking Russian lines may be anything but easy

Ukraine's much-anticipated counteroffensive has finally begun. The Ukrainians are armed with Western weapons, including tanks and armored vehicles, but they are facing tough Russian defenses. The initial phases of this operation may be the most dangerous and costly, war experts say.The Ukrainian counteroffensive has begun, kicking off a particularly dangerous time for Ukraine's armed forces, even with its newly acquired arsenal of Western-made tanks, armored vehicles, and other weaponry that has been pouring in over months."Amidst a highly complex operational picture, heavy fighting continues along multiple sectors of the front," the British defense ministry said in a Thursday update, noting...
