Returning to Rebuild Israeli Communities After October 7: ‘This Is Hope’
November 24, 2024
KIBBUTZ NIRIM, Israel — Adele Raemer shows me the broken slats in the shutters outside her front window. Hamas terrorists had begun breaking into her home on October 7, as she and her son hid in the “safe room” inside. Suddenly, someone called the terrorists away, and they left. After eleven hours in hiding, she and her son would be rescued. But they were lucky. Hamas terrorists murdered five residents of the kibbutz and abducted five more — three women, who were freed last November, and two men, who were executed. They destroyed 30 homes and damaged 45 more. They killed the first three Israeli soldiers on the scene, including a senior officer, Col. Asaf Hamami. Had it not been for the fact that a Hamas mortar had inadvertently disabled the back gate of the kibbutz, there would have been more dead, more hostages. Today, Raemer is back in Nirim — not to mourn, but to rebuild. As we sit in her living room, there is a knock on the door: volunteers have arrived to help prepare her house for repainting. The volunteers are all female Israeli soldiers, all new immigrants from abroad. IDF soldiers arrive to help repaint Adele Raemer’s home in Kibbutz Nirim,… Read the full article here […]
Bernie Sanders Hints At Forming A New Political Party In Scathing Email
November 24, 2024
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has continuously blamed the Democratic Party establishment for being out of touch with voters in the days following President-elect Donald Trump’s re-election victory. The two-time presidential candidate took things a step further on Saturday, when he suggested that he may be endorsing independent candidates over Democrats going forward. “The American people understand that our economic and political systems are rigged,” sanders wrote in an email to supporters. “They know that the very rich get much richer while almost everyone else becomes poorer. They know that we are moving rapidly into an oligarchic form of society.” YOURS FREE: Claim Your ‘Trump Victory’ Coin NOW! Sanders, whose presidential bid in 2016 was stolen after the Democratic Party “rigged” the primary in favor of Hillary Clinton, according to former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazille, went on to chastise Democrats for running to preserve the “status quo” while Trump promised to “smash the existing order.” The progressive leader went on to claim that the Republican victory will increase “inequality” and “bigoted”… […]

God’s gunsmith: How Samuel Colt’s wife reinvented him as a Protestant hero
November 24, 2024
Samuel Colt has been mythologized as a God-fearing man who invented the revolver. Some people insist it’s ironic that a devout man of God could create instruments of war. It’s even in the Colt slogan: “God created man. Sam Colt made them equal.” Colt’s days as a laughing gas salesman taught him a lot about marketing. He learned that good salesmanship is often subliminal. In a world of muzzle-loaders, the Colt revolver could fire multiple times without needing to be reloaded, earning its title as “The gun that won the West,” a motto that has been used elsewhere. But was Samuel Colt truly the Bible-loving gunsmith of lore? He was not. A widow’s faith The narrative of a deeply religious man shaping firearms in divine favor was largely crafted by his widow, Elizabeth Jarvis Colt, the daughter of an Episcopal minister. After Colt’s death, she built an enduring legacy around her husband, intertwining his inventions with Christian values. In doing so, she reshaped American culture, paving the way for John Wayne. Samuel Colt’s early life was brutal. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was six, followed by the deaths of all three of his sisters. But this… Read the full article here […]
The Question We All Ask: Sunday Reflection – HotAir
November 24, 2024
This morning’s Gospel reading is John 18:33b–37: Pilate said to Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?” Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here.” So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” When contemplating this passage, a scene from the classic film The Princess Bride came immediately to mind. Near the end of the brilliant fencing sequence between Westley and Inigo, the latter says in complete wonderment, “Who are you?” Westley replies, “No one of consequence,” to which Inigo responds, “I must know!” “Get used to disappointment,” Westley quips before finally besting Inigo, but… Read the full article here […]
Iran Announces Expanded Nuclear Enrichment After IAEA Rebuke
November 24, 2024
Authored by Jason Ditz via AntiWar.com, In a 19-3 vote with 12 abstentions, the IAEA agreed to rebuke Iran for a “lack of cooperation.” The vote was driven by the US, UK, and their allies. Russia and China both voted against the resolution, along with Burkina Faso. The timing of the decision was particularly unfortunately, coming just days after IAEA chief Rafael Grossi’s visit to Iran, during which Iran agreed to measures designed to keep their stockpile of high-enriched uranium from growing. Iran also promised to ensure that it’s highest enrichment levels remain 60% or below, which is below the 90% level needed to make weapons. All that raised hope among officials actually invested in the safeguard efforts. The US-led effort for censure seems, as always, to underscore that Iran cannot take any steps that would satisfy them. Angered by the IAEA rebuke, Iran is promising a response. Centrifuges in an Iranian nuclear plant.

Such moves would of course be reversible, if the… Read the full article here […]
