This week’s column on the ongoing fight between civilization and barbarity focuses on the role on the United Nations and its various agencies in keeping jihadism alive and well; the outrageous efforts by the incompetent Anthony Blinken to hamstring Israel’s justified defense; and the little-known or publicized support by Arab leaders for Israel’s eradication of Hamas. Winkin’ Every one of the United Nation’s agencies involved in the Middle East have placed it on the side of the most barbarous enemies of civilization. The worst is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Disgusted by the agency’s role, Germany has frozen its substantial contributions to UNRWA

The president of Cop28, Sultan Al Jaber, has claimed there is “no science” indicating that a phase-out of fossil fuels is needed to restrict global heating to 1.5C, the Guardian and the Centre for Climate Reporting can reveal.
Al Jaber also said a phase-out of fossil fuels would not allow sustainable development “unless you want to take the world back into caves”.
The comments were “incredibly concerning” and “verging on climate denial”, scientists said, and they were at odds with the position of the UN secretary general, António Guterres.
Al Jaber made the comments in ill-tempered responses to questions from Mary Robinson, the chair of the Elders group
A Plague of College Student Dishonesty
10 replies
This is not a good time for American higher education, but as bad as this may seem, matters are even worse. The students themselves are part of the problem when they seek admission to top schools with tactics that are at best questionable and at worst dishonest.
Dishonesty is rampant. Students will even misrepresent their race or ethnicity. This is hardly a surprise in today’s academic world that prizes diversity, and admissions officers willingly lower standards to achieve it. According to one study, some 34% of white students admitted lying about their ethnic identify for purposes of admission or financial aid, with “Native American”

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer is putting Hunter Biden on notice: show up for his impeachment inquiry deposition on Dec. 13 or be prepared to go to court.
“Hunter Biden has received special treatment his entire life,” Comer told the Just the News, No Noise television show Friday night. “Every government agency that should have caught the crimes the Bidens have been committed for years were told to stand down. And they think they can bully the Oversight Committee and set the rules. And that's not going to happen.
“We're going to treat this investigation like every congressional investigation in recent memory has been treated:

Digital Shield’ Exposing Big Tech Meddling
in 2024 Elections 1 reply
Research psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein is launching America’s Digital Shield, a website that exposes Big Tech meddling in the 2024 elections through real-time “ephemeral manipulation” that can shift millions of votes.
Epstein announced the release of a “public data dashboard” that shows how Big Tech giants like Google, Bing, and Yahoo are manipulating online content to influence votes in the elections.(Snip)
“Permanent, large-scale monitoring systems are the only way to stop Big Tech companies from manipulating our elections, undermining our democracy, and indoctrinating our children,” the research psychologist added. “Laws and regulations — if they’re ever enacted at all — will never stop them. Only monitoring makes their activities transparent 24

Did you hear the roar on the streets when Milei won Argentina? It built and built, and then everyone was out on the streets shouting, from windows, inside shops, houses. It is the future, all over the world. The Netherlands on Friday. Same same. Universal rejoicing.
Absurdistan does a solid line in doom, but our firmly held first principle is that every single one of us should be two or three times as rich. (Snip)
Unlike almost everyone in the media, Absurdistan knows regulation is the principal reason we are hornswoggled serfs. Even Trump’s team was surprised at the economic boom that came from his mild de-regulation;
It may be only Wednesday, but that hasn’t stopped the U.S. military from racking up one of its worst weeks yet under President Joe Biden.
In the span of two days, numerous stories have emerged reaffirming that the Biden Pentagon’s top priorities aren’t winning wars or taking care of personnel but injecting leftist politics into the service and funding endless overseas conflicts. From requesting U.S. taxpayer funding for neo-Marxist programs to shipping more aid to Ukraine, the revelations (sadly) represent a continuation of the military’s “reimagining” under Biden’s presidency.

As someone who was passionately and rationally (yes, you can do both) against every single Covid measure, and was pretty much from the very start, the only thing more amazing than how everyone went along with the insanity, is the way nobody really really cares about it at all just a couple of years later.
In the UK, for example, we currently have an ongoing ‘Covid enquiry’ which features in little dribs and drabs, only now and then, in the mainstream news. Enquiries have of course often been the exact opposite of what they are claimed to be. People call for an enquiry not when they want to reveal
Anarcho-Capitalism and Dr. Javier Milei

Oops, they did it again.
First Giorgia Meloni was elected prime minister of Italy. This despite the objections and smears of the self-important and seemingly all-powerful US Deep State and its Mockingbird press, which in the run up to the Italian general election had painted her as the second coming of Benito Mussolini.
(Snip) After decades of alternating corrupt mismanagement by the two entrenched traditional Argentine parties, an academic economist of the Austrian school named Javier Milei has been elected President of Argentina, adding salt to the self-inflicted wounds of approved narrative defenders. And once again, we are predictably being gifted with the usual stream of character assassination and hate

No, my bingo card did not have Generation Z embracing the wit and wisdom of Osama bin Laden, but it probably should have.
Osama bin Laden‘s ravings about how Israel is bad and America is worse, or vice versa, have hit a chord among recently-born TikTok viewers. Osama’s Been Litup’s rants have it all – claims of nefarious Jewish influence, complaints about evil capitalists, and whining like a little girl about Americans and Israelis fighting back against sociopathic Jihadi scum**** who go on murder sprees. This nonsense is supposed to provide “context” for 9/11, and to have further applicability to the current elimination of Hamas.

As an Iranian in Sweden, I was dubbed a “svartskalle”. Directly translated, it means “black head”, a slur aimed at the demographic which, in the Anglo-sphere, is often referred to as “brown” people.
(Snip) Every new town I moved to - the first group of friends I made were fellow immigrants from the Middle East.
One thing was consistent, regardless of where I went; We all hated Jews.
In the cultures we grew up in - even when there was very little else in common (Shia v Sunni, Arab vs Persian, Religious vs Atheist, Theocrat vs Monarchist etc) - Jew-hatred is omnipresent. We were born with it, we grew up
I got sucked into The Morning Show on Apple TV, because sometimes I just like to hate-watch. I don’t watch violence anymore or sex, and if anything starts with someone on a toilet, I’m out. (Snip) Or stupid women talking, like the Housewives or even more offensive, The Buccaneers.
You kill millions of babies and agitate to kill more babies. You’ve demanded so much money for social justice, we are broke ten times over, and risk a Weimar Germany hellscape.

FFox News cut off a live broadcast of a Donald Trump rally in Iowa to correct his "untruths" about the last election. During a broadcast of Trump's Saturday rally, Fox anchor Arthel Neville cut away from the former president to clarify that the 2020 election was not rigged, telling viewers that Trump made "many untruths" during his speech.

Meghan Markle 'felt she had more of a right to speak' than Kate Middleton at certain events because she was a 'self-made woman', a source has claimed.[Snip]The source said: 'She seemed to feel like she had more of a right to speak than her sister-in-law, who had married into the family as an unknown whereas Meghan regarded herself as a philanthropist who could teach the royals a thing or two about charity.

You don’t have to approve of George Santos to understand it should have been left to his constituents in Long Island and Queens to decide on his suitability to remain in Congress.
Nonetheless, despite a slim majority in the House and crucial votes looming as they head into an election year, 105 Republicans were suckered by moral vanity into expelling one of their own Friday.
The 35-year-old gay son of Brazilian immigrants, Santos had the most conservative voting record of the entire New York delegation, and now he is gone, taking his vote with him.
Democratic strategist James Carville referred to Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Christian nationalism as threats "that are bigger than al-Qaeda" on Friday.
Carville was a guest on Real Time with Bill Maher when the host asked him about Johnson's ability to hold the Republican Party together in the House. The GOP holds a slim majority, and Johnson is the first Speaker of the House to hail from Louisiana, Carville's home state. In response, the Democratic strategist said he did not think Johnson would hold the party together and went even further in his political analysis of the speaker.

Ignite Smoke Bombs at UPenn, Chant 'Intifada Revolution' 25 replies
Pro-Hamas protesters on Sunday night took to the streets of the West Philadelphia neighborhood known as University City, home to Ivy-league school UPenn, igniting smoke bombs with the colors of the Palestinian flag and chanting “Intifada revolution.”
Merriam-Webster describes intifada as an “UPRISING, [or] REBELLION,” while Wikipedia defines it further:
An intifada (Arabic: انتفاضة intifāḍah) is a rebellion or uprising, or a resistance movement. It is a key concept in contemporary Arabic usage referring to a uprising against oppression.[1

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin warned at the Reagan National Defense Forum on Saturday that Israel could face “strategic defeat” if it was not more careful about how it fought Hamas, because more Palestinians might be driven to support the terrorist group . (X Video) Austin seemed not to know that the vast majority of Palestinians already support Hamas, at least in one recent opinion poll.
A wartime poll of Gaza and West Bank residents last month by Birzeit University’s Arab World for Research & Development (AWRAD) found that “the majority of (59%) strongly supported or (16%) supported to some extent the October 7 attacks carried by the Hamas-led factions.”
In a stunning jab to Fox News, host Greg Gutfeld called out the network for firing Tucker Carlson.
Gutfeld compared the ongoing advertiser boycott of Elon Musk's X to Fox News' decision to fire Carlson, arguing that both icons pose too many challenges to elitists.
The host said that Musk telling off "cowardly advertisers" who cave to pressure from the radical Left and abandoning X is "how it's done." After showing the clip of Musk saying "G. F. Y." about top brands' decision to stop advertising on his platform, Gutfeld praised Musk while throwing a jab at his own network's decision to get rid of Carlson.

The development signifies a serious escalation in a series of maritime attacks in the Middle East linked to the Israel-Hamas war.
