This week was a sad awakening for me. I attended a discussion group regarding the situation in the Mideast at my synagogue. Of the ten attendees I was the only one to express concern about the level of anti-Semitism which was occurring around the USA. Others that spoke expressed their concern about the aggressiveness of the Israeli government and negative treatment of Arabs. I entered the room somewhat depressed that so many people will die because of the Oct 7th attack but left even more upset. ... I was not prepared for the level of Jewish support for the Palestinian...

Some systems have noted that most MA carriers have faced allegations of billing fraud from the federal government and are being probed by lawmakers over their high denial rates.

It has been obvious for a long time that TikTok is extremely dangerous because communist China clearly controls what is seen on it. It's not only dangerous for us, it is especially dangerous to suggestible children. Trump knew it in 2020 when he attempted to ban it. The question is why did it take others so long to understand how dangerous Tiktok is and why was it called a controversial decision. Remember this? On July 31, 2020, President Donald Trump announced a decision ordering China's ByteDance to divest ownership of the application, and threatened to shut down its U.S. operations...

Who is killing the dogs? A mysterious new Covid-like disease is killing dogs nation wide. Some think that Fauci and his infamous Wuhan Lab maybe operating an annex in the US. Fauci is notorious for torturing dogs and manufacturing Covid viruses.

Of course, Genocide Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab should be considered also as they hate humanity and wish the 95% of the world's population should be eliminated (themselves excluded). Since they have not been successful,...

Mike Lee is calling for an investigation into the now-defunct House January 6 committee, accusing former and current lawmakers who served on the committee of "deliberately" hiding some of the footage from the Capitol riots. Lee's comments came after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., began releasing more than 40,000 hours of footage taken at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, when protesters angry about the 2020 election results entered the halls of Congress.

The man on trial for bludgeoning Paul Pelosi in his San Francisco home with a hammer truly believed he was trying to save the world from a secret cabal of high-profile pedophiles, his defense attorney told a San Francisco court Thursday. At the opening of the federal trial against David DePape his legal team said they won’t dispute that he hit Pelosi — an incident caught on police bodycam — but they would explain he was motivated by internet conspiracy theories that the “liberal ruling class” spread lies and abused children. Defense attorney Jodi Linker told jurors: “This is not...
