I Stand With Israel

Trump learns for the first time that Lebanese law prohibits speaking with Israel. He seems shocked. The rest of us aren’t. The government of Lebanon and Hezbollah are one and the same. Both want the destruction of Israel and both are controlled by Iran.

The good news: Mamdani does not actually have the power to do this. It requires state legislation. The bad news: having already rhetorically sold out to unions, Hochul & Leg won't hesitate to push pension funding obligations down the road.

Has there even been a more perfect marriage of smug elitism, contempt for commonsense morality, and masturbatory self-importance?

"...the SPLC chose to publish the names, faces, and affiliations of 15 people it accused of 'anti-Muslim extremism.' The list endangered everyone it named. I know the threat of Islamist violence all too well. In 2004, a jihadist named Mohammed Bouyeri murdered my friend and collaborator Theo van Gogh on an Amsterdam street. Bouyeri shot him, cut his throat, and pinned a five-page letter to his chest with a knife. The letter was a fatwa against me. I have lived under armed protection for more than two decades because men with weapons and conviction want me dead—for apostasy... The SPLC considers all of this beyond the pale, and accused me of using 'the political bully pulpit to bash Muslims." And "Tax filings uncovered by reporters in 2017 showed millions in SPLC money parked in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and Bermuda. Think of it for a moment: an anti-poverty organization, headquartered in Alabama, hiding millions offshore while positioning itself as the nation’s moral conscience." thefp.com/p/ayaan-hirsi-…

On Tuesday, Mets owner @StevenACohen2 reached out to me to discuss the Nimmo trade, Jewish Heritage Night, Mamdani, and a few other issues that have recently spread across the media and social media, in large part because of my Tweets. First, let me say that Mr. Cohen is an incredibly gracious and down to earth guy. From the beginning our conversation was extremely friendly…and enjoyable. He answered ALL of my questions (when he didn’t have any obligation to call me to begin with), and, honestly, he’s just a likable, reasonable guy with an open mind. He’s the kind of guy that anyone would love to have a beer with. But let’s get to brass tacks. When I get something very wrong, I need to come clean and admit it. After speaking with Mr. Cohen, there is not a doubt in my mind that there was nothing political about any of the personnel decisions made with the Mets. In other words, I was wrong. I relied on speculation put out as fact by several sportscasters who should know better. I offer my sincere apologies to the Mets and to Mr. Cohen for relying on those false claims and getting it dead wrong in my Tweets. I genuinely feel very bad about that. Finally, Mr. Cohen explained the Heritage Nights to me in a way that made perfect sense. While he is not even involved in scheduling those nights and there were very good reasons that some have not happened since 2023, he understands why Jewish people are feeling especially vulnerable and erased right now and he and the Mets are clearly committed to making sure that Jewish recognition does continue to happen in a meaningful way. I’d also like to share with my Jewish friends something they may not know, which is that Mr. Cohen has built two PTSD centers in Israel (and is now working on a third) for victims in need. I truly believe that the Mets are in great hands. Steven Cohen listens, cares, is open-minded, and is willing to adjust when he sees things that make anyone feel hurt or excluded. I think we’re all going to see really great things as he continues to steward this organization. I bleed Orange and Blue and it’s going to stay that way forever. My apologies and thanks to Steven Cohen. (Photo is from meeting him by chance at a game a couple of years ago).

Hassan Piker urges his audience to assassinate senators, stating: “If you cared about Medicare fraud, you would kill Rick Scott.” In what world is it acceptable for Democrats to campaign with him?

Turns out "separation of church and state" just meant no Christianity.

This guy is perhaps the biggest piece of shit on the internet, and Democrats mainstream him. Disgusting.

Two things happened this week. 1. An IDF soldier knocked down a Christian statue. 2. Channel 4 released a horrific investigation into the mass killing of Christians in Nigeria. Guess which one Tucker Carlson made a video about. “I saw my children’s corpses in the fire.”

Aid to Israel has become such a fever swamp and it’s frankly a relief to see prominent Republicans smack it down for what it is.

This thing is going just great. Absolutely nothing catastrophic could result from this for Europe.

If you’d told me a few years ago this is where we’d be on Iran, I’d have said you were high: 1. Nuke program set back years. Enrichment and reprocessing gutted, weaponization sites destroyed, Fordow inoperable, Natanz in ruins, a generation of senior nuclear scientists eliminated. 2. Ballistic missile program crippled. Monthly production down from 100 to near zero. Roughly half the regime’s missiles and launchers destroyed. The IRGC Aerospace Force commander who ran the missile enterprise dead. 3. Air defenses devastated. American and Israeli airpower dominating Iranian skies, with strike aircraft operating over the country with near impunity. 4. Full economic warfare. Not just OFAC sanctions anymore, but military pressure layered on top: naval blockade, near-zero oil exports, choked imports, wrecked steel and petrochemical sectors, triple-digit inflation, and a currency that is effectively worthless. 5. Regime decapitation. Khamenei dead. Larijani dead. Hundreds of senior IRGC, intelligence, military, and Basij commanders dead including the IRGC commander-in-chief, the armed forces chief of staff, and the Aerospace Force commander. Mojtaba Khamenei inheriting a hollowed-out regime with no supreme authority and a gutted command structure. 6. The region turning on Tehran. Gulf states shutting down the sanctions-busting, money-laundering, and financial escape routes the regime has relied on for years. No Arab capital willing to throw Iran a lifeline. China and Russia providing limited support. 7. Proxy network shattered. Hezbollah and Hamas heavily degraded. Houthi political leadership taking direct Israeli strikes. The “Axis of Resistance” and “ring of fire” are now more slogans than real threats. 8. Syrian corridor severed. Assad is gone. The new government in Damascus is actively blocking Iranian arms transfers to Hezbollah: arresting smugglers and publicly declaring Syria will no longer serve as a transit corridor for Tehran’s terrorists. The land bridge to the Mediterranean that took decades to build is effectively closed. 9. Lebanon pivoting west. With Hezbollah battered and resupply choked, Israel and Lebanon have opened direct peace talks for the first time since 1983, aimed at a permanent agreement and Hezbollah’s disarmament. Beirut now asserting that the Lebanese armed forces alone are responsible for national defense. This is a direct repudiation of Hezbollah’s “resistance” claim. TBD. 10. Deterrence exposed as a bluff. Four direct attacks on Israel — April 2024, October 2024, June 2025, March 2026 — failed to impose strategic cost and instead triggered heavy retaliation. Iran couldn’t even use Syria as a launchpad. 11.Economy hollowed out from within. Power shortages, water crises, factory shutdowns, pension unrest, and mass protests. Nationwide demonstrations erupted in December 2025 after a year of economic freefall, with bazaaris, oil workers, and truckers, the regime’s traditional support base, joining strikes across all 31 provinces. Running out of oil storage space. Fuel shortages. The worst crisis since 1979. 12. Scientific and technical brain drain. Beyond the nuclear experts, Iran has lost a generation of irreplaceable expertise in missile design, centrifuge engineering, and weapons development. The survivors are harder to recruit and easier to deter. 13. Naval power decimated. The regular navy shattered, IRGC navy taking growing losses as CENTCOM moves to reopen Hormuz. And against all of this: the regime forced to play its Hormuz card at its weakest possible moment when the U.S. has options instead of when we didn’t: namely, Tehran with nuclear-armed ICBMs, 10,000 ballistic missiles, a Chinese- and Russian-built military, hundreds of thousands of attack drones, a fully operational terror network, and hundreds of billions of dollars to harden its economy. That’s the strategic picture. It’s extraordinary. Much more to do but I can’t comprehend how much has been achieved.

The amazing thing about California voters is that a significant majority will say privately that the state has become a dramatically worse place to live as Democrats have taken control And yet they couldn’t care less when someone like Steve Hilton gives obvious, common sense solutions to big problems because he’s a Republican and they’d rather keep voting for Democrats and have everything get worse x.com/overton_news/s…

Everyone knows Mount Sinai Hospital. It’s one of the biggest names in American healthcare. What most people don’t know is how it actually started. In 1852, Jewish immigrants in New York were often turned away from hospitals or treated poorly once admitted. A group of Jewish philanthropists stepped in and opened what they called “Jews’ Hospital” on the Lower East Side. It started small, around 40–50 beds, funded entirely by the community. Within a few years, it expanded and was renamed Mount Sinai Hospital as it moved uptown and grew with the city. From there it didn’t just grow in size, it became a serious medical institution. Mount Sinai was one of the early leaders in medical education in New York, helping establish formal training programs for physicians. It was also ahead of its time in hiring and promoting Jewish doctors when many other hospitals had quotas or outright bans. Today it’s part of the Mount Sinai Health System, which includes multiple hospitals and a major medical school, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The system has thousands of physicians, tens of thousands of employees, and handles hundreds of thousands of patient visits a year. On the research side, it consistently ranks among the top hospitals in the U.S. It’s known for work in cardiology, cancer, neurology, and genetics. Its faculty have been involved in major breakthroughs, from early public health work to modern genomic medicine. So the full picture is pretty straightforward. It started because Jews were excluded from the system, and over time it became one of the institutions that defines the system.

On one hand shouldn’t he just worry about picking up the garbage. On the other, now you know this is the right deal

Disobedience to law, sir, is un-American. She has broken our law for 26 years, and resisted the deportation process for a decade, and faces a judicial final order of removal. We believe in rule of law, you have sworn to uphold that. If you disagree with what happened, change the law. Until then, obey the law. Anything else is un-American.

The moment Israel responds will unquestionably be described as a unilateral violation of the ceasefire.

NEW: In just 48 hours, 75 fire hydrants in Detroit have been destroyed after thieves started stealing the metal nozzles and stems. Local officials are now needing to tell scrapyards not to accept the stolen fire hydrant parts, which are worth about $600 each. "One hydrant here or there is manageable, but the problem is whoever's doing this is doing multiple hydrants in a row," said Executive Fire Commissioner Chuck Simms. "So when DFD shows up, they're not going to have a hydrant within 600 or 900 feet, which put people's lives at risk." Officials are asking the community to help find the suspects.

Democratic California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer last night said that requiring truck drivers to be able to read English is "racial profiling." Other examples of racial profiling? Air traffic controllers, U.S. military, astronauts, baseball umpires...

This one solar project, forced on the people of Canaseraga by the state of New York, required the clear cutting of some 100,000 trees. Elsewhere in this same region, the government wants to cut down state forests to put in more solar arrays. Solar rapes our land and robs our future.
