Voodoo Blamed for Massacre in Haiti

The last time we checked in on Haiti (“Haiti’s Zombie Apocalypse: Media Skeptical of Cannibalism Reports,” March 13), the situation was very bad, but since then it has apparently gotten even worse, leading me to ask, who had “Haiti voodoo massacre” on their 2024 bingo card? The United Nations human rights chief said Monday that […]

Armageddon Update: IDF Strikes Iran

Peace through superior firepower: Israel on Friday launched a wave of retaliatory airstrikes against Iran after the Islamic Republic fired a barrage of missiles toward Israelis earlier this month. Explosions were heard near Iran’s capital of Tehran and nearby Karaj, Reuters reported, citing local media. “In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime […]

‘A Routine Patrol’ in Rafah

In March, Kamala Harris had a warning for Israel: In a wide-ranging new interview with ABC News, Vice President Kamala Harris suggested there could be “consequences” for Israel if it moves ahead with a planned invasion of Rafah in its pursuit of Hamas fighters. . . . “We have been clear in multiple conversations and […]

Media Mourns Loss of Terrorist Leader

After much blowback — were college interns working the weekend copy desk? — Associated Press has changed that headline, but what was the logic?

A Message From the Mossad

This is some next-level 007-type stuff: The day after thousands of Hezbollah terror suspects were injured, and reportedly a dozen people killed, by their pagers almost simultaneously exploding, Lebanese and Iranian media reported a second wave of radio device detonations. The second wave appears to involve two-way radio devices, such as walkie-talkies. At least one […]

Springfield Gets What It Deserves

When tales of Haitian immigrants eating cats emerged on social media this week, it suddenly focused attention on the city of Springfield, Ohio, but now we are learning there’s more to the story: “Those 20,000 Haitians did not show up overnight or uninvited. Though flown in by the federal government, they were not forced on […]

Benny Johnson Is NOT a Putin Puppet: Beware the ‘Russia! Russia! Russia!’ Hype

To quote Sarah Hoyt, “The suspicion that this was a setup honeypot with full knowledge of our government is inevitable,” which was the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard about it. Folks, I’ve known Benny Johnson since 2007, when he was a college kid having fun at a Young Americans Foundation conference […]

Jews Are Dead, Hamas Is Happy, and Podhoretz Has Got His Rage On

For years, I’ve said it’s impossible to have peace negotiations with the Palestinians because, to the Palestinians, “peace” means dead Jews. Insofar as “Palestinian” describes a national identity, the essence of that identity is killing Jews. That’s all they care about. As a people, collectively, the Palestinians are devoted to revenge — the complete destruction […]
