Jews celebrating Hanukkah were just slaughtered by Muslim gunmen on an Australian beach, in an imitation of the October 7 massacres.

An inert Europe is canceling Christmas celebrations out of fear of threats of violence from Muslim minorities.

Most polls show that 60 percent of Democrats favor the Palestinians over the Israelis. Translated, that means they prefer a terrorist autocracy over a Western liberal constitutional government.

The right used to be a unified corrective to left-wing anti-Semitism. It still polls nearly 70 percent in favor of Israel. For a while longer, it is far more likely to condemn anti-Semitic violence than the left.

But recently, its own base, in varying degrees, has come full circle and joined the left in its distaste for Israel and Jews in general.

Why are late night show hosts like Kimmel, Fallon, and Colbert so bad? Even saying that they are not funny understates the magnitude of the problem. It has gotten to the point that what they do in front of an audience every night can’t even be defined as humor. It’s something else.

It’s a chimera of sorts, a mirror image of what humor is in the real world but lacking in essence. It’s as if an alien from outer space put on a human disguise and then tried to mimic humor without the ability to feel human emotion.

I am not talking about robotic delivery. I am talking about a show host force-feeding his audience a diet of what they expect to hear and an audience that feels obliged to go along with the gag — kabuki theater of sorts, done for show, not substance.

It all feels staged. A comedian must catch the audience off guard and as such cannot deliver jokes passed through the HR department for approval.  What’s going on?  Whatever it is, it’s why Greg Gutfeld in eating their late-night lunch.

It was the political equivalent of Bill Belichick’s teenybopper girlfriend — a moment so utterly incomprehensible, all you could do was shake your head in disbelief when you heard the news. “Wait… WHAT happened?!”

Only this time, it wasn’t an old man in his 70s lusting after a babe in her 20s (which, if we’re being honest, is at least straightforwardly explainable).

It was a woman in her late 60s with a well-earned reputation as a shrewd, disciplined taskmaster getting bamboozled by the mainstream media. Susie Wiles, the White House Chief of Staff, was supposed to be every bit the super-genius strategist, game-manager, and cat-herder as Bill Belichick was a football savant.

Well, you can kiss that reputation goodbye.

That after her selfish unforced error with Vanity Fair, of all publications — in which she roped in every single top White House official, including Donald Trump! — I’m wondering if her similarities to Belichick should be expanded.

Do words have any meaning? Most people think so, which is why there is an endless debate about which words should be permitted by law, which should be a matter for the law, and which words should be debated in the realm of manners.

Where does “Gas the Jews” fit into that?

How about using them immediately after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust? How about if the words are used on the streets by a mob—not in a spirit of jest, but of intent?

That’s what happened outside the Sydney Opera House on October 9, 2023—two days after Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists invaded Israel, slaughtered 1,200 people, and took another 250 hostage.

Of course, the Australian authorities did not take any meaningful action regarding that protest.  They never do if the protestors are Muslim.  They only do if the protestors are anti-Muslim Australians.  Why is that?

In 2016, Dahir Adan, part of a Somali refugee family that had been resettled in Fargo, stabbed 10 people in the Crossroads mall in Minnesota while shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and demanded to know if his victims were Muslims or non-Muslims and therefore ‘fair game’.

The FBI claimed that the Muslim terrorist’s motive may never be known. ISIS or the ‘Islamic State’ took credit for the attack and its ‘unknown motive’ in the name of Islam.

Fargo, North Dakota’s largest city, likes to brag about its diversity and the fact that nearly 1 in 10 in the city are ‘foreign born’.  Somalis flooded Fargo, as did Iraqis, Bosnians and Bangladeshis. Amid the winter snows rose mosques, ethnic welfare nonprofits, Halal markets and other outposts of the new population.

After President Trump’s outrage at the $1.5 billion in Somali fraud, Rep. Hamida Dakane, the first Somali Muslim to hold office in the North Dakota legislature, dismissed Trump and bragged about a Somali Muslim population encompassing Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin, Washington, Virginia, Maine, and North Dakota. “We are history,” she declared. “And we will always rise.”
