By Ward Clark While the term "influencer" is generally associated with vapid young women playing on their looks and scanty clothing to draw attention, once in a while one person claiming to be an "influencer" does some actual journalism. On Tuesday, such an example arose in the case of one Zach Sage Fox, a Jewish American who passed himself off as an Italian to enter the West Bank and survey the residents as to the level of support for Hamas. What he found was shocking, but not really surprising . Fox, a "loud and proud" Jewish American, was in Israel to create content when a member of his production team offered him the opportunity to enter the West Bank alongside a Muslim producer and cameraman. Fox knew it could be a dangerous project but was interested because American journalists are rarely able to secure unfettered access to Palestinians.   "Israelis are literally not allowed into Palestine; they're not allowed into the West B...

By Stephen Green It isn't just "lights out" when a powerful electromagnetic pulse is set off, typically by the explosion of a nuclear warhead. An EMP doesn't just disrupt electrical signals — it essentially hijacks them and can permanently fry any unshielded electronic device. Forget turning anything back on, whether it's your computer, your furnace, or even your car. They're all going to need to be repaired or replaced. But a nuclear warhead isn't the only way to create a smaller EMP effect, and terrorists are getting the tools to make them happen.  "Iran has rushed to supply Hezbollah with electromagnetic bombs that can paralyze communications and disable radars as the risk of the border confrontation with Israel turning into a full-scale war grows," according to a  Jerusalem Post  summary of an  Al-Jarida  report. (I have to trust JPost to translate certain Arabic-language papers for me because I prefer not to use Google Translate or anyth...

By Jonathan Butcher & Jack Fitzhenry Despite SCOTUS’s ruling in Biden v. Nebraska, the White House has proven it won’t let the law get in its way of making taxpayers pay student loans. A federal appeals court just blocked President Biden’s latest plan to transfer outstanding student-loan debt to hard-working American taxpayers. This comes one year after the Supreme Court struck down another version of the plan in  Biden v. Nebraska . But the president and his team won’t let courts get in the way. The latest example of this blatant disregard for the law comes courtesy of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona. Earlier this month, Cardona  sent an email  from the U.S. Department of Education’s account to student-loan borrowers that read like campaign propaganda: “In recent weeks, several federal courts have issued rulings in lawsuits brought by Republican elected officials who are siding with special interests.” Cardona continued: “[N]o matter how many times Republican...

By John R. Lott Jr. Whether it’s a national gun registry or regulations that will put gunmakers out of business, Harris is working to end legal gun ownership. Joe Biden is the most activist president ever on gun control, putting thousands of gun dealers out of business by the middle of last year for  trivial paperwork mistakes . He used government regulations to  “debank”  gunmakers and dealers, and those that survived faced higher costs. The Biden administration has also put together a  national gun registry . But a President Kamala Harris would be even worse for gun ownership. During the 2020 presidential campaign, Harris ran to the left of Biden on gun control. While both supported an assault weapons ban, Harris wanted  to force gun owners to sell to the government any firearms that she deemed undesirable . Harris went further than Biden in vowing to use  executive orders  if Congress did not pass the ban. The national gun registry makes this ma...

By Becca Lower It's on to November in Arizona.  On Tuesday night, the  Associated Press  confirmed that Kari Lake, the former Phoenix news anchor who previously lost her race for Arizona governor in 2022, will be the nominee for Republicans in the Senate general election contest, after defeating her primary opponent, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb: PHOENIX (AP) — Kari Lake won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Arizona on Tuesday, setting up a fierce battle against Democratic U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego for a seat that could be crucial to deciding Senate control. The primary will give insights about where the narrowly divided state is headed going into the final sprint of the 2024 election, when Arizona is central to the fight for control of the White House and Congress. “Go vote,” Trump urged supporters in a telephone rally with Lake on Monday evening. “She’s fantastic. She will not let us down. Kari Lake, I just think she’s going to be as go...

By Jarryd Jaeger It has been revealed that the  illegal immigrant  who allegedly shot a police officer in San Antonio,  Texas  over the weekend had nearly been deported, but was spared and allowed to remain in the United States by a judge after claiming he would face persecution if he was forced to return home to Venezuela. Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez, 25, first entered the country in November 2023. On Sunday, the Venezuelan national died after being involved in a shootout with police during a domestic violence call.  The officer in question was shot multiple times but survived, and is recovering from her injuries. A source within the Department of Homeland Security told the  New York Post  that Chacon-Gutierrez was among a group of nearly 600 people who illegally crossed the border into the US last fall. Upon entering, he was processed by  Customs and Border Protection  agents for "expedited removal," but pleaded with o...

The blasphemous Olympics’ Opening Ceremony, which included, among other obscene and indecent acts, a man partially exposing himself around children, is patently offensive for any sensible American... By Headline USA NBC is facing an obscenity complaint with the  Federal Communications Commission  this week after broadcasting the opening ceremony of the  Olympics , which featured multiple  drag queens  and other inappropriate content. Conservative watchdog  Judicial Watch  filed the complaint with the FCC on Monday, accusing NBC of airing “obscene and indecent” content that was watched by millions, including children. “The blasphemous Olympics’ Opening Ceremony, which included, among other obscene and indecent acts, a man partially exposing himself around children, is patently offensive for any sensible American and requires immediate FCC action against NBC,” Judicial Watch President  Tom Fitton  said in  a statement.  ...

By DYLAN GWINN Paris has once again surrendered to foreign occupiers. Except this time, the occupiers are not an armed encampment; they’re hungry athletes fed up with the vegan diet Olympic organizers tried to make them eat. Olympic organizers were forced to order 4,000 pounds of meat and eggs quickly after athletes decried the fake meat and non-dairy options, the  Daily Mail   reports . From the beginning, officials sought to make this year’s Games the most eco-friendly and green in Olympic history. However, lost somewhere in the social designers’ “grand design” was the fact that, while fake meat is fine in the faculty cafeterias of Harvard and Oxford, elite human machines do not run on fake meat. While organizers initially sought to downplay the woke meal plans’ impact and assured that all would be well, eventually, they had to concede defeat. “As far as food is concerned, we had to make a few changes, and we had to adapt, which is quite normal,” Paris 2024 c...
