Guess Where Some Hamas Big-Wigs Were Found Living - BY KEVIN DOWNEY JR. "Hamas heavyweight Muhammad Qassem Sawalha, 62, was discovered living in London in a home bankrolled by UK citizens.
But wait, there’s more.
- Here’s the kicker: he lives in a Jewish neighborhood. Apparently, living amongst Jews isn’t so bad if a huge chunk of your home is paid for with someone else’s cheddar.
- Sawalha and his wife scored a tasty $136,500 taxpayer-funded kiss when they bought a two-story home in London for $390,000. The house is paid off.
But wait, there’s more.

Premodern Diversity vs. Civilizational Unity | RealClearPolitics - Victor Davis Hanson"...marauding Goths, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Huns, and Vandals...crossed the unsecured Rhine and Danube borders to harvest Roman bounty...focused on destroying the civilization they overran rather than peacefully integrating into and perpetuating the Empire...
- The unity of these diverse peoples fused into a single culture that empowered Rome.
- In contrast, the later disunity of hundreds of thousands of tribal people flooding into and dividing Rome doomed it.
To meet the challenge of a multiracial society, the only viable pathway to a stable civilization of racially and ethnically different people is a single, shared culture...
- Some nations can find collective success as a single homogenous people like Japan or Switzerland.
- Or equally, but with more difficulty, nations can prosper with heterodox peoples -- but only if united by a single, inclusive culture as the American melting-pot once attested.
- But a baleful third option -- a multicultural society of diverse, unassimilated, and often rival tribes -- historically is a prescription for collective suicide.

GOP Congressman Proposes Amendment to Slash Top Biden Official’s Salary to $1
"The case against Secretary Granholm, as laid out by the supporting Republicans, consists of several major points:
- Conflict of Interest: Granholm was accused of using her office to promote a company where she previously served on the board. This raises questions about the ethical boundaries between public service and private interests.
- Failure to Secure Energy Independence: Rep. James argued that instead of securing American energy independence, Granholm is actually depleting it. He pointed out the sale of strategic petroleum reserves as one example.
- Poor Track Record: Drawing from her time as Governor of Michigan, James labeled her policy history as one of failure, suggesting that this past performance has been a reliable indicator of her current actions.
- Lack of Accountability: Both Rep. Norman and Rep. James emphasized that reducing Granholm’s salary is an exercise in accountability, which they see as lacking in the current regime.
James argues that this isn’t simply an act of political theater but a direct attempt to bring accountability into the government..

Mr. Speaker, release the J6 footage | Blaze Media:
The narrative about January 6 is being used as a wedge that our ruling class mercilessly hammers to separate “good” and “respectable” Republicans who go along with it from — according to Joe Biden — “extremist,” “authoritarian,” “insurrectionist” Republicans who threaten the very soul of our nation.
But if anyone truly cares about justice under the law and our system of government, the question of what happened that day should not revolve around whether someone is a Democrat or a Republican or whatever they happen to think about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
All Americans should care about one thing above all else: the truth.
