This is the other side of campus activism we have seen in recent weeks. The good side. The College Fix reports: “Israel fundraising efforts in full swing on college campuses nationwide. Jewish student organizations nationwide are hosting events and online fundraisers to support the people of Israel.[Snip]At the University of Pittsburgh, a cluster of Jewish orgs have joined forces to raise both funds and awareness. For example, student organizations like AEPi, a Jewish fraternity on campus, have launched an online fundraiser with the goal of financially supporting Israeli civilians.

High schoolers in Oregon won't need to demonstrate basic competency in reading, writing or math in order to graduate for at least five more years because, according to education officials, such requirements are unnecessary and disproportionately harm students of color. "At some point … our diploma is going to end up looking a lot more like a participation prize than an actual certificate that shows that someone actually is prepared to go pursue their best future," former Oregon gubernatorial candidate Christine Drazan told Fox News.
Jill Biden said on Monday there was no one she'd rather have in the White House Situation Room than her husband Joe Biden as she wooed fashion's A-list at an intimate fundraiser at Anna Wintour's home.
In her remarks to a small audience - that included Dreamworks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and designers Michael Kors and Tory Burch - the first lady touched on the violence in Israel and said she was 'grateful' that Joe Biden was in charge.
'I wouldn't wish the tragic events of the last two weeks on any American president. But I'm so grateful that Joe is our president during these unpredictable times,'

Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., clapped back at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's, D-N.Y., comments she made Sunday with MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan. "Before I got to Congress, I spent 20 years in the financial industry, something that leadership here on Capitol Hill definitely needs," Donalds said on Fox's "The Story" with Martha MacCallum on Monday.
"Number two, I spent four years in the legislature in Florida. I chair two committees there, and number three, since being here on Capitol Hill, I've worked intimately with members of our leadership team and members all through the conference,
Michigan businessman Perry Johnson, who at one time was polling higher than Mike Pence and Niki Haley, has suspended his presidential campaign and instead is endorsing Trump for President.
In a series of posts on X, Johnson wrote, “Having suspended my campaign, I am officially endorsing Donald Trump
for President of the United States. We must beat Joe Biden to save this country and Donald Trump is the only candidate who can do it.”
Johnson also noted, “During President Trump’s first term, our nation saw historic peace agreements, no new wars, an economic revival and forged a new path forward away from corrupt, establishment career politicians.
President Joe Biden’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is pushing to ban menthol cigarettes after it has pressed for safe crack pipe distribution and marijuana reform.
The FDA has pushed its long-awaited ban on menthol cigarettes, which some public health groups believe could help improve black communities and prevent young Americans from smoking cigarettes. Menthol cigarettes are viewed as more addictive than traditional cigarettes.
Tobacco companies have argued that there is no direct link between menthol cigarettes and starting smoking or even increased dependence on cigarettes. Black leaders, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and other similarly minded groups
At least 26 people were shot, five of them fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chicago.
Breitbart News observed that at least 14 people were shot, three of them fatally, Friday into Saturday night alone in Chicago.
By Sunday night, ABC 7 / Chicago Sun-Times reported the total number of shooting victims had reached at least 26, with two additional shooting fatalities.
One of the shooting incidents, which is still under investigation, occurred Saturday night between a Walgreens employee and an man who allegedly entered the store and produced a gun.
WGN-TV noted that the 26-year-old employee received a graze wound to his chest while “the offender sustained gunshot wounds
Republicans probing allegations of politicization into the Justice Department's investigation into Hunter Biden are planning to grill two top prosecutors central to their case.
A source familiar confirmed two senior DOJ prosecutors - U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada for the Central District of California and Stuart Goldberg of the Tax Division - are sitting down with House Judiciary Committee staff this week for transcribed interviews in the Hunter Biden probe.
The expected new testimony comes after IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler testified under oath that Hunter Biden received 'special' treatment in the investigation into his financial dealings.
Kevin McCarthy has endorsed Tom Emmer for Speaker of the House, but is he even a conservative?
McCarthy apparently forgot to mention that Emmer was formerly a paid spokesman for the leftist George Soros-funded organization The National Popular Vote initiative.
Sources say Emer is everything BUT a Republican Conservative. Joel Mannarino posted this showing Emmer arguing AGAINST the Electoral College:
President Joe Biden has been seen in pictures and videos enjoying a weekend of walks on Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, as Hamas terrorists pushed their campaign of destruction against Israel and the U.S. placed additional troops on prepare-to-deploy orders to the Middle East.
One short clip shows the octogenarian and first lady Jill Biden strolling the Atlantic beachfront on Sunday while a reporter off screen asks him about the release of Americans being held hostage by Hamas terrorists.
You can decide and debate this in the comments section below. Former President Barack Obama has another lengthy post about his “thoughts” on the Israel-Hamas war. It’s a tortured thought exercise that will inevitably leave all parties dissatisfied. Obama voices his support for Israel, the safety of its people, and its right to exist, which is anathema to the legions of far-left, pro-Hamas supporters we’ve seen come out of the bushes in the past two weeks. These folks weren’t clamoring for a two-state solution; they wanted Israel destroyed, along with its people.
Joe Biden on Monday delivered remarks on his failing economic agenda dubbed ‘Bidenomics’ from his fake White House set in the South Court Auditorium.
Biden got lost on his way to the podium.
Joe Biden told the audience, “I’m not introducing me. Mark is. I forgot. I went straight to the podium.”
The talk went downhill from there. Biden had trouble reading his giant teleprompter as he thanked lawmakers. Toward the end of his speech, Biden told the audience he had to leave because he had an issue he needed to deal with.
Hamas’s unprecedented invasion of Israel would in “no way” have transpired under the presidency of Donald Trump, according to world-renowned military historian and professor Dr. Victor Davis Hanson, who also argued that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine and China would not have sent spy balloons over the U.S., as he urged America to take back its international standing.
Speaking on former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia John Anderson’s “Conversations” podcast Wednesday, Dr. Hanson suggested that “to his credit,” former President Donald Trump demonstrated American deterrence and determination through his assassination of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani and destruction of the Islamist terror group ISIS.
President Trump had the crowd roaring in laughter in Derry, New Hampshire on Monday.
Trump reminded the crowd of Joe Biden’s threats to beat him up behind a barn.
President Trump: But did you ever hear some of these people talking about the viciousness? “When you see them in a restaurant, you go in there and you know what you do to them, right?” If I ever did that. If I ever did that, problems. And then remember when Biden, “I’d like to take him to the back of the barn.”
I dream of that. You know what I do with him?
Donald Trump says Republicans need an act of God to find a candidate for House speaker who could reach the 217 votes needed to take the gavel.
Former President Donald Trump has yet to put a MAGA stamp of approval on any of the current nine candidates as the House has been embroiled in chaos for 20 days without a speaker after Kevin McCarthy's historic ouster.
Trump was in New Hampshire Monday to officially register to run in the 2024 Republican presidential primary and spoke to reporters about the 'tumult,' as he put it, on Capitol Hill.
Following the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel and the ensuing outbreak of another war in the Middle East, influential people in Washington, D.C., are already calling for the U.S. to take in Palestinian refugees.
They couldn’t be more wrong.
While the war is still in its early days, it is expected that up to one million Palestinians living in Gaza could soon become refugees. Progressive members of Congress and anti-borders groups are already claiming the U.S. has a responsibility to take in some of these refugees, but fail to mention that importing migrants from an area that glorifies and idolizes terrorists could put the national security of the U.S. at grave risk.
President Joe Biden has reportedly sent a small number of high-level United States military officers to Israel, including James Glynn, a three-star Marine Corps lieutenant general. Glynn previously commanded the Marine Corps’s special operations unit and led Operation Inherent Resolve, the coalitional war against the Islamic State, from July 2017 to July 2018.
The news came after an interview secretary of state Antony Blinken gave to CBS on Sunday in which he said the U.S. government is assisting Israel in its preparation for an expected ground operation in Gaza. Israel has been preparing for such an offensive — which Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged will be difficult
Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said that former President Donald J. Trump has been a transformational figure who in his opinion “represents a failure” of character that has brought immense damage upon America.
The failed presidential candidate and his wife Ann Romney appeared on Sunday morning television in advance of the release of the new book on the trials and tribulations of the retiring senator during his time in Washington, D.C. where he has waged war against Trump, joining with Democrats on two failed impeachments.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., transferred $75,000 from his campaign's coffers to his wife and stepson's nonprofit during the third quarter, Fox News Digital has found.
The money from the senator's campaign went to the Sanders Institute on Aug. 8, according to its recently released Federal Election Commission filings. The cash follows the $200,000 that the committee sent to the nonprofit earlier this year.
The institute was established by Sanders' wife, Jane, and his stepson, David Driscoll, six years ago as a think tank to elevate progressive mouthpieces. However, the group has appeared to perform very little work while paying Driscoll six figures worth of compensation.
Thanks to the release of depositions in a sexual harassment law suit, we now know just how thoroughly corrupt was the prosecution of former Minneapolis police offer Derek Chauvin and his three colleagues in the May 2020 death of George Floyd.
The depositions were taken this summer in response to a lawsuit filed by Amy Sweasy, a former Hennepin County prosecutor, against her then boss, former County Attorney Mike Freeman. Sweasy alleges that Freeman engaged in sex discrimination and professional retaliation. Whatever Freeman did or did not do to Sweasy, however, pales in comparison to what both of them and their colleagues did to the cops they prosecuted
More than a quarter of all ISIS brides returned to Sweden from the Al-Hol camp in Syria are now working with young children in the Swedish education sector, an investigation by the Expressen newspaper has revealed.
Of the 81 women confirmed to have fled Sweden to join the Islamic State at the peak of its power and subsequently repatriated, 21 were found to now be employed in Swedish schools, kindergartens, and asylum centers for kids.
The bombshell report evoked a strong reaction from government ministers who questioned how radicalized individuals who were willing to join a terrorist organization had been permitted to work with young people upon their return to the country.
The Education Ministry has said it will remove any reference to climate activist Greta Thunberg after she published a post over the weekend holding an anti-Israel sign reading "stand with Gaza."
"Hamas is a terrorist organization responsible for the murder of 1,400 innocent Israelis, including children, women, and the elderly, and it has abducted over 200 people to Gaza," the ministry said. "This stance disqualifies her from being an educational and moral role model, and she is no longer eligible to serve as an inspiration and educator for Israeli students."
Last week, in this column, I argued, “What happens in Israel will not stay in Israel.” I went on to warn that “the next shoe to drop may be in Galveston rather than Gaza.”
Is this warning a bit over the top, or is there a reason to take it seriously?
Well, if Solomon was right when he said, “As a man thinketh, so he is,” let’s consider what the people who fancy themselves the moral conscience of America and the West actually think and say.Here’s a short summary.
“White people are a genetic defect of blackness. Whiteness is not humanness. In fact, white skin is sub-human.
It was November 4, 1979.
The President of the United States was Democrat Jimmy Carter.
Carter was seen by many on the GOP side as a weak president, which was part of the reason Republican Ronald Reagan was making another try for the GOP nomination to face off with Carter in the soon-to-arrive 1980 presidential election.On the Democrat side, the left wing of Carter’s party was so upset with him that Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, last of the stars who were 1960’s heroes the Kennedy brothers, made up his mind to challenge Carter for renomination.
And then.
Iranian Islamic radicals had overthrown the ruling Shah.
The nation's largest drugstore chains, Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens, will shutter more than 1,500 stores, leaving millions of Americans without access to healthcare in 'pharmacy deserts.'
Rite Aid said it will close 150 of its 2,100 US locations after they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this month.
The pharmacy chain has been unable to settle hundreds of lawsuits that accused them of overprescribing opioids and has struggled to keep up with competitors.A slew of drugstore chains slashing their locations has left millions of people living in areas where it's difficult to obtain medication, areas known as 'pharmacy deserts,'
Karine Jean-Pierre sparked controversy on Monday with her answer to a question about the rise in antisemitism following Hamas' slaughter of Israeli Jews and others on October 7th. A reporter asked Jean-Pierre whether the administration was concerned about a potential increase in antisemitism given the protests taking place across the country, some of which are outright calling for genocide. Instead of addressing the matter, the White House press secretary immediately deflected, stating that Muslims "have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks" before showing sympathy for Palestinian-Americans.
Remember when Joe Biden, in a ‘catch me if you can’ moment taunted reporters asking about his family’s corruption and asked, “Where’s the money?”
WATCH: (X Video) Well, Congressional Republicans found the money and produced the receipts.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer told Fox News host Sean Hannity that more suspicious checks from Jim Biden to his brother Joe Biden will be released this week.
On Friday, Comer uncovered a $200,000 direct payment to Joe Biden.
One need only take a very quick and superficial look at the “green” movement to rightly deduce the “greenies” are a bunch of morons—they’re either incapacitated with their hands glued to the road, protesting something by throwing soup all over a Vincent Van Gogh painting, or, demanding a forced transition to battery-powered vehicles, wind turbines, and solar farms… while also demanding no mining take place for the minerals needed to power such initiatives.
For a little context, see the excerpt below from a report at Just the News yesterday:
The Biden administration announced in April that it intended to enact some of the highest air pollution
Israeli forces have debuted a weapons system dubbed the 'Iron Sting', sharing video of it being used to destroy Hamas rocket launchers as they step up aerial assaults and raids on terrorist squads in Gaza ahead of a planned ground invasion.
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have already staged 'limited' raids to fight Palestinian gunmen and say they are targeting sites where Hamas terror squads are assembling as they prepare to resist a wider Israeli invasion.
'During the night there were raids by tank and infantry forces. These raids are raids that kill squads of terrorists who are preparing for our next stage in the war. These are raids that go deep,'
A Colorado judge Friday denied a motion by Donald Trump and the Colorado GOP to throw out a lawsuit seeking to block Trump from appearing on the ballot in Colorado.
The ruling was issued by Judge Sarah Wallace, a Colorado district court judge.Wallace was appointed to the bench earlier this year by Democrat Gov. Jared Polis.
Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, faces challenges to appear on the ballot in multiple states based on his alleged role in events of January 6, 2021. Those lawsuits cite the Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in the aftermath of the Civil War, which bans those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding public office.
An off-duty pilot is charged with 83 counts of attempted murder after he allegedly tried to shut off the engines by pulling the fire extinguisher handles on an Alaska Airlines flight, according to officials.
The plane was scheduled to fly from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco before it diverted late Sunday to Portland after a "credible security threat related to an authorized occupant in the flight deck jump seat," the airline confirmed to ABC News.
The suspect allegedly tried to pull the fire extinguisher handles on the engines, preliminary information obtained by investigators indicated, according to a federal official briefed on the probe. The suspect was overwhelmed by flight
A startling poll was released last week showing that a majority of voters not only view the opposing party as a threat to the nation but justifying violence to combat their agenda. The poll captures a crisis of faith that I have been writing about for over a decade as an academic and a commentator. Many now question democracy as a sustainable system of government. It represents the single greatest threat to this nation: a citizenry that has lost faith not just with our system of government but with each other. The polls by the University of Virginia Center for Politics shows a nation at war with itself.

The son of a Hamas founder said Hamas is even more dangerous than ISIS on Monday, claiming the mainstream media is afraid to call it a genocidal religious movement for fear of igniting a full-on religious war. "It's their own comparison to say Hamas and ISIS because I think Hamas is a lot more dangerous," Mosab Hassan Yousef told "FOX & Friends."
"Look at the division and the global confusion because of Hamas. They brought us to our knees somehow by their brutality and their barbarism. Brutality is even understating Hamas' acts. Hamas is a religious movement, and they are a raging religious movement against Israel.
War in the Middle East has the FBI tracking more potential threats of terrorism in the United States. Tonight, the bureau's director, Christopher Wray, tells us his main concern is not an organized attack but lone actors inspired by the violence. We met Wray, Wednesday, for an unprecedented interview that included him and the intelligence directors of our english-speaking allies. Together, they know more about the threats in the world than perhaps anyone. They're known as the Five Eyes and they have never appeared in an interview together. They're doing it now because they're alarmed by China which they say is the greatest espionage threat democracy has ever faced.
The slate is set for a Monday evening conference in the Republican House of Representatives as nine GOP politicians have registered by the deadline today to put their names in the nomination process. (snip) there will be a secret ballot vote on Tuesday.
The absolute worst-case scenario is Tom Emmer (R-MN) who has just received the endorsement of Kevin McCarthy. Emmer wants to abolish the electoral college for presidential races in favor of a national popular vote. Unfortunately, Emmer likely carries around 70 automatic votes from the professionally Republican caucus.
On the opposite side of that spectrum is Byron Donalds (R-FL) who is pure MAGA
Shortly after the terror attacks of October 7, the United States’ position initially appeared to be very clear. This was Israel’s war to fight and we would provide material and vocal support, but allow them to handle it as they saw fit. That lasted for about two weeks. By this past weekend, the situation had shifted noticeably, with threats of escalation showing up to the north of Israel from Hezbollah and rocket attacks on American posts in various places, including Iraq. And now both the Secretary of State and the Defense Secretary are clearly preparing the country for the possibility that the entire situation may blow

Bank records released on Friday show Joe Biden received $200,000 from funds his brother Jim Biden siphoned from the failing health care company Americore. Beyond providing more proof that President Biden directly profited from his family’s selling of influence, this new evidence — when read together with Americore’s bankruptcy filings — reveals Joe has the money that rightfully belongs to innocent creditors. (snip) Biden knew “the same day James Biden wrote him a check for $200,000, James Biden had just received a loan for the exact same amount from business dealings with a company that was in financial distress and failing?”
The current kerfuffle in the Republican party’s attempt to select a Speaker of the House to replace Kevin McCarthy brings to mind the ascension and later resignation of Newt Gingrich as Speaker following the Republican Revolution vote of 1994.
In that election, thanks largely to Gingrich’s Contract With America, Republicans gained fifty-four seats to garner the majority in the House for the first time in forty years. Gingrich was mainly responsible for electing a sizable number of the new, young wave of House Republican conservatives. The Republicans elected Newt as the 50th House Speaker. He served four years as Speaker and, in my opinion, deserved to serve many more.

On October 28, 2016, the New York Observer, owned by former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, released a leaked audio clip from back in 2006 in which Hillary Clinton proposed rigging a foreign election to achieve the desired outcome that she wanted.
The media did not report on the audio clip when it was released in 2016 because it would have been extremely damaging to then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The Gateway Pundit was one of the few news outlets in 2016 that covered this explosive report.
Many news outlets, blogs, and other publications (probably far too many) rely on the Associated Press Stylebook or style guide. Just for the record, this outlet is not one of them. But because it is so widely used, you may be noticing something missing from much of the coverage of the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel in the wake of the October 7 terror attacks. And that would be the word “terrorist.” As the Free Beacon discovered, the AP is discouraging anyone from using the word to describe the literal Hamas terrorists who murdered, raped, tortured, and kidnapped so many Israelis and people of other nationalities
Propagation of myths has consequences. Let us examine a couple.

b. It refuses to go away.
Neither a country nor a state of Palestine has ever existed.

Chevron is buying Hess Corp. for $53 billion and it’s not even the biggest acquisition in the energy sector this month as major producers seize the initiative while oil prices surge.
Crude prices rose sharply in early 2022 with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and are hovering around $90 per barrel after ticking another 9% higher this year, meaning big drillers are flush with cash and looking for places to invest piles of cash.
The Chevron-Hess deal comes less than two weeks after Exxon Mobil said that it would acquire Pioneer Natural Resources for about $60 billion. Upward pressure on oil prices are being applied from a number of fronts including the war
On the first Monday of each October, the U.S. Supreme Court begins hearing cases for its new term. There’s no doubt that the decisions reached there reverberate throughout the country.
But as Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton, who serves on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reminded everyone in his book, 51 Imperfect Solutions, state constitutions provide many rights and remedies not available under the U.S. Constitution, and that state courts are charged with interpreting and enforcing those rights.

ZURICH - Switzerland looked set to shift to the right in national elections on Sunday, as concerns about immigration trumped fears about climate change and melting glaciers, though the vote is unlikely to change the make-up of the Swiss government.

Israel has declared it will release unedited, uncensored footage of Hamas' ruthless October 7 attacks on unsuspecting civilians to counter what it says is a 'Holocaust denial-like phenomenon' amid backlash over its airstrikes of the Gaza Strip.
Government spokesman Eylon Levy last night told journalists that a series of raw clips taken from the bodycams of dead Hamas attackers would be screened for journalists to show the 'barbarity perpetrated' against Israelis.
'The IDF has been collecting footage from bodycams taken by Hamas death squads as they rampaged through the communities in southern Israel, butchering everyone in sight,' Levy began.
Do the major media outlets in the U.S., online, on-air or in print, care whether their audience trusts them or not? It certainly doesn’t seem to be the case today. Americans’ trust in the U.S. media has plunged to its lowest levels ever, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll data show.
Both big, mainstream “traditional” media outlets and mid-sized “alternative” media outlets continue to suffer from declining revenues as their audience and readership numbers shrink. The October I&I/TIPP Poll shows that a loss in underlying trust is a key cause of media industry decline.
Venezuelans topped Mexicans for the largest group of nationals arrested for illegally crossing the U.S. southern border for the first time on record in the month of September.
According to its latest monthly report released Saturday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded 218,763 encounters of people from all nationalities between ports of entry along the southwest border in September 2023, representing a 21% increase from the 181,084 illegal immigrants caught in August.
Venezuelans were arrested 54,833 times by the Border Patrol after entering from Mexico in September, more than double from 22,090 arrests in August and well above the previous monthly high of 33,749 arrests in September 2022.

Late Friday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear Missouri v. Biden, a case that may end the Biden administration’s circumvention of the First Amendment by outsourcing censorship to Big Tech. The case was initially filed by the states of Missouri and Louisiana, along with various private plaintiffs who allege that social media platforms censored them at the behest of federal agencies. U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty ruled for the plaintiffs on July 4, enjoining the agencies from communicating with platforms about “content moderation.” The Biden administration sought relief from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and lost again, making a Supreme Court clash inevitable.
PETERBOROUGH, Ontario - Canadian Medical freedom fighter Dr. Mark Trozzi has exposed the dark money, political pressure, establishment corruption, and fake news that made the COVID-19 propaganda campaign a terror operation that brought the world to its knees.

They are choosing to show the video and evidence to foreign journalists.[Snip]We’ve left out some incredibly graphic details about what Hamas did to the bodies of women they slaughtered.

Joe Biden is at his Delaware beach house this weekend on yet another one of his vacations, as everything is imploding in the Middle East.
You would think he didn't have a care in the world as he shuffled along the beach with his wife. Not only do you have the Israeli-Hamas war. You have Americans being held hostage in Gaza, along with Israelis. You also have multiple U.S. bases/positions under attack over the past several days.

Statistics Norway, the government agency that produces official statistics for that country, released a report last month titled “To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions?” The report concludes:
[T]he results imply that the effect of man-made CO2 emissions does not appear to be sufficiently strong to cause systematic changes in the pattern of the temperature fluctuations.

With a single tweet, Chamath Palihapitiya, the CEO of Social Capital, recently became the provocative main character of the day on X, formerly known as Twitter.

But it was his accompanying caption that sparked hot debate: “Go woke, go broke,” he said, implying that the ongoing culture war and economic policies of northeastern states had facilitated the migration of wealth and economic power to the South.

Hamas terrorists who carried out a surprise attack on October 7 were found to be under the influence of Captagon, a synthetic amphetamine-type stimulant that has been clandestinely produced in southern Europe and trafficked through Turkey to the consumer markets on the Arabian Peninsula, as reported by Nir Dvori of Channel 12. The pills were recovered from the pockets of many terrorists who lost their lives on Israeli soil. This stimulant drug, also known as the "cocaine for the poor," allowed the terrorists to commit heinous acts with a sense of calmness and indifference. Simultaneously, it kept them highly alert for extended periods and suppressed their appetite.
