At Davos, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and former White House adviser, unveiled a “master plan” for Gaza, a seven-slide spectacle of CGI skyscrapers, luxury apartments, data centres, and coastal resorts. Branded Project Sunrise, it promises to transform the bombed-out Gaza Strip into a high-tech Riviera. On screen, Gaza gleams. On the ground, it is a killing field. Over 70 thousands of Palestinians have been slaughtered, many of them women and children; millions are displaced and starving under siege. The United Nations has declared the situation a genocide and is accusing Israel of using hunger as a weapon. Yet Kushner’s presentation treats Gaza not as a humanitarian crisis, but as a blank canvas for profit, spectacle, and real estate development, erasing the ongoing Israeli bombardment and the engineered famine that continues to decimate civilian life.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear Wants All ICE Agents Taken Out of Cities and ‘Fully Retrained’
Kentucky’s Democrat Governor Andy Beshear went on CNN this week and said that he wants ICE agents pulled out of cities and ‘fully retrained.’
According to the governor, ICE agents are ‘operating with aggressive tactics.’ Of course, he says nothing about the mobs of left wing radicals attacking these agents wherever they go.
Democrats only see one side of the equation. They have a total blind spot for the people who are assaulting ICE because those are their voters.
Breitbart News reported:
Beshear: ‘Every Single’ ICE Officer Should Be Taken Out of Cities, Re-Trained
On Monday’s “CNN News Central,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) stated that, when it comes to ICE, we should “demand that they pull these officers out of all of our cities and that they fully retrain every single one of them.”
Co-host Kate Bolduan asked, “Once he leaves there, what are you going to do if and when a massive ICE operation is launched in Kentucky?”
Beshear answered, “Well, the first thing we have to do is demand that they pull these officers out of all of our cities and that they fully retrain every single one of them. They are operating with aggressive tactics that are not appropriate for law enforcement. They are not following our Constitution and giving people their rights.
Gaza: Caught Between Israel’s Ongoing Genocide, and Trump’s US-Led Neo-Colonial Takeover
In the Gaza Strip, the remaining Palestinian population, who have survived two years and three months of the most diabolically well-publicized and even relentlessly celebrated genocide in history, which is still ongoing, albeit at a slower pace than before, are squeezed into just 42% of their homeland — 60 square miles in total, less than the size of Washington, D.C.
The rest, the other 58%, has been occupied by Israeli forces since a ceasefire was declared on October 10, when they withdrew to an arbitrary “Yellow Line” that was meant to be temporary, a phase in a staged withdrawal from the whole of the Gaza Strip, but which is regarded by the occupiers as a new and permanent border with Israel.
Under the terms of the ceasefire deal, which was mainly negotiated by Qatar, Egypt and the US, although Donald Trump, predictably, made it all about himself, even staging a “Peace Summit” in Egypt to which world leaders were invited to fawn over him, Israel was prevailed upon to stop its relentless bombing raids, and its ongoing and merciless ground invasion of Gaza City, in return for the immediate release of all the surviving Israeli hostages seized on October 7, 2023.
This was a considerable achievement, given how enthusiastically Israel had sunk into relentless genocidal depravity over the previous seven months since it deliberately broke the terms of an earlier ceasefire deal at the start of March, resuming its slaughter of Palestinians with horrific brutality.
However, although the death toll has dropped over the last three months from a daily average of somewhere between 60 and a hundred Palestinians, Israel has never honored the ceasefire in any meaningful sense, and has continued to break its terms on an almost daily basis, killing at least 465 Palestinians and injuring 1,287 since October 10.
In addition, Israel has resolutely refused to allow the unimpeded access into Gaza of 600 trucks a day of humanitarian aid, as stipulated in the ceasefire deal, including desperately needed shelter, medical supplies and medical equipment, as well as food and fuel, all very deliberately to try to ensure that the Palestinians will continue to die in significant numbers, as though the latest confirmed death toll of 71,548, with 171,353 injured, many grievously so — and itself a massive undercount — is still insufficient to placate its incessant bloodlust.
Israel is perpetually triggered by a refusal to recognize that the 1,200 or so people killed in the October 7 attacks on southern Israel cannot be perpetually obsessed over as the victims of an unprovoked day of horror, entirely unconnected to the previous 75 years of Israel’s genocidal ethnic cleansing and dispossession of the Palestinians from their own land, and their relentless oppression and arbitrary imprisonment. Nor too, can they realistically be allowed to demonstrate a callous indifference, almost beyond belief, to the catastrophic death toll in Gaza over the last 27 months, which dwarfs the death toll on October 7 to a sickening degree.
Iran Is Not Libya: Why Destabilization Risks Global Chaos
The drumbeat of escalation against Iran has grown louder in Western capitals, from fresh sanctions rhetoric to renewed strike speculation. Beyond the headlines, a dangerous shift is occurring in the strategic thinking of policymakers. The old Neoconservative framework of “regime change”, which assumed one could swap a government while keeping the nation intact, is being shadowed by a far more perilous drift toward policies that risk state collapse.
Whether driven by the momentum of broad sanctions or a lack of viable alternatives, the current trajectory suggests that Western powers are risking a repetition of the “Libya Model” in Iran. A sober analysis of data, geography, and demographics indicates that this path would not lead to democracy, but to a geopolitical catastrophe that creates a security vacuum from the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf.
The Libya Mirage vs. The Iranian Reality
The allure of this strategy rests on a kind of amnesia about the outcome of the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya. Sold as a humanitarian necessity, the removal of central authority did not produce a liberal democracy. Instead, it shattered the state’s monopoly on violence. Over a decade later, Libya remains a fractured territory where rival militias compete for control and human trafficking networks operate with relative impunity.
Attempting to replicate this outcome in Iran involves a profound misreading of scale. Iran is not Libya. It is a nation of nearly 90 million people, roughly thirteen times the population of Libya in 2011. Geographically, it sits atop the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery through which a major share of globally traded oil passes each day.
In contrast to the isolated Gaddafi regime, a destabilized Iran would not implode neatly. It would likely erupt across borders. The collapse of central authority in Tehran could plausibly trigger large refugee flows toward Europe and create conditions conducive to extremism and narcotics trafficking. From a purely Realist perspective, the cost of coexisting with a difficult Iranian state is significantly lower than the cost of managing a major zone of ungoverned instability in the heart of Eurasia.
Sanctions and the Fragility Trap
Some advocates of “maximum pressure” argue that economic strangulation creates leverage for democratization. The economic data suggests a different outcome. While sanctions have undeniably devastated the Iranian economy, driving high and persistent inflation and eroding the national currency, they have failed to produce political liberalization.
In practice, these policies create what economists call a “fragility trap”. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that geoeconomic fragmentation and the weaponization of trade are fracturing the global economy. In Iran, this dynamic systematically hollows out the middle class. By destroying the economic foundation of independent civil society, Western policy eliminates the very social stratum historically required for stable democratic transitions.
As citizens are pushed into a struggle for biological survival, facing documented obstacles to accessing some critical medicines and shrinking purchasing power, their capacity for organized political activism diminishes. They rarely become builders of stable institutions; survival takes over. Thus, the current policy does not weaken the grip of the state; it weakens the resilience of the society.
Amelia Victorious: How to Lose the Culture War With a Video Game
There’s something genuinely funny going on in the United Kingdom right now.
The British government’s Prevent office, housed under the Home Office (think Department of the Interior, but allergic to dissent), partnered with a media nonprofit called Shout Out UK (like a PBS focused on preventing “radicalism”) to come up with a clever new way to re-educate British youth.
The concern, as always, was “radicalization.” They thought the solution was inspired: a choice-based video game. Kids like games. Games involve decisions. Decisions shape values. What could possibly go wrong?
Thus Pathways was born, a government-funded interactive morality play designed to gently shepherd British children toward being properly antiracist, properly accepting, and properly enthusiastic about the ever-increasing number of migrants reshaping their country. Civics class, but fun. And digital. And corrective.
As part of this effort, the designers introduced a character named Amelia, a cute, purple-haired, vaguely goth girl who carries a Union Jack and talks about Britain being for the British. She was meant to function as a warning, a living illustration of how nationalism can look attractive, even charming, and yet be dangerous to the impressionable youths of Britain who may not have fully internalized the idea that Brexit is bad and they are to obey their elitist overlords.
What they did not anticipate was that the public would take one look at adorable, charming Amelia and decide she was the good guy.
What Prevent Was Supposed to Be
To understand how Pathways ended up here, you have to rewind to what Prevent was originally meant to do. The program emerged from the post-9/11 security logic that shaped Western counter-terror policy across the board. The target was not opinions or aesthetics. It was violence, and specifically Islamist terrorism and the recruitment pipelines that fed it. “Radicalization” meant movement toward planning or committing acts of terror.
The rationale was simple and, frankly, understandable. Governments have a duty to stop people from blowing up buses and concert halls. Identifying grooming networks, interrupting recruitment, and diverting individuals away from violent ideologies was the job. That’s why Prevent sat under the Home Office in the first place. Bombs and bodies are not abstract problems.
Over time, however, the definition of “radicalization” began to stretch. Then it stretched again. Eventually it stopped describing a trajectory toward violence at all and started describing a trajectory away from approved social and political consensus. The concern shifted from what someone might do to what someone might think, or worse, what they might feel attached to.
This is where Prevent quietly stopped being about prevention and started becoming about management, and specifically the management of populations rather than threats. Cultural signals like flags, language, and other symbols of national belonging were reclassified as early warning indicators. Discomfort with mass migration was treated less as a political opinion than as a diagnostic symptom. Belonging itself became something to be solved.
Once the mission changed, the tools followed.
Fetterman: ‘About Two-Thirds’ of Those Deported by ICE Are Criminals
On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “American Agenda,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) stated that “about two-thirds of those ICE is deporting are” criminals, but a lot of the tactics the agency is using need to be changed.
Fetterman said, “I don’t agree with many of those tactics” used by ICE and stated that ICE should “stand down” in Minneapolis.
Later, he stated that the administration should “re-focus on securing our border — and that’s been successful — and deporting all of the criminals, I think we can all agree with that. And I have also been mentioning, too, the latest statistics that I have seen, about two-thirds of those ICE is deporting are criminal[s]. And, again, I think we should talk more about that, too. I think that’s a good thing.”
Health Care Worker with Access to Deadly Chemicals Tells People to Take ICE Agents on Dates, Then Poison Them or Use Water Guns to Spray Toxins in Agents’ Faces
Readers will have to decide for themselves how often they wish to see the faces and hear the voices of evil.
After all, the assassination of Charlie Kirk provided enough exposure to the murderous left’s demonic glee to last a lifetime.
In a series of videos circulating on the social media platform X, a woman whom some internet sleuths claimed was a health care worker at Virginia Commonwealth University Health appeared to encourage protesters and single women to wage literal chemical warfare against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
“I thought of something good … sabotage tactic, or at least scare tactic,” the woman, who appeared to be wearing hospital garb, said in one video. “All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end. Have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever, whatever. That will probably be a deterrent.”
In a second video, the young woman made it clear that she fancies herself part of some “resistance.”
“OK, for today’s resistance tip,” the diabolical woman said, “I vote, um, anybody got any poison ivy, poison oak in their yard? Get some of that up with gloves, obviously, get it in some water, like a gallon of water, get the poison-ivy/oak water, and I’m going to put it into a water gun. Aim for faces, hands.”
Finally, in a third unhinged video, the woman addressed “single ladies” in ICE agents’ vicinity. Those ladies, she said, could “do something not without risk, but, could help the cause, for sure.”
“Get on Tinder, get on Hinge. Find these guys. They’re around,” she added. “If they’re an ICE agent, bring some Ex-Lax and put it in their drinks. Get ’em sick. Nobody’s going to die. Just enough to incapacitate them and get them off the street for the next day.”
The woman called this tactic “highly, easily deniable” and then, at the video’s end, encouraged her fellow lunatics to “stay toxic.”
Libs of TikTok, a prominent conservative account on X, shared the video compilation.
“Any comment @VCUHealth? How can you have such a vile person working with patients? How can anyone feel safe at your facilities if you employ such people?” Libs of TikTok wrote.
Disgusting Old Leftist Screams “You F***ing C*nt” At Woman Who Took Pics With ICE
The radical left’s unhinged hatred for border security erupted in a vile verbal assault Monday night, as an older leftist guy stalked and screamed obscenities at patriotic women simply for taking pictures with federal officers.
The hatred spilled over in a disturbing confrontation caught on video, where the old leftist and a group of others chased and harassed the women who had taken selfies with the agents. Labeling them “Nazis,” he escalated to screaming “f**ing c*nt” at one of them in a fit of rage.
This deranged outburst captures the left’s raw contempt for ordinary Americans who dare to stand with law enforcement against unchecked migration.
Such attacks reveal the glaring hypocrisy: while preaching “tolerance” and “inclusivity,” these agitators unleash vile venom on anyone who disagrees with them. It’s a nationwide pattern, fueled by desperation as ICE ramps up operations under Trump’s mandate.
Man Charges at Ilhan Omar, Sprays Her with Unknown Substance During Town Hall
How was this man able to get so close to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar?
A man, identified as 55-year-old Anthony Kazmierczak, charged at Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar during a town hall on Tuesday evening and sprayed her with an unknown substance.
“DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment,” Omar said on Tuesday evening to applause.
A few seconds later, Kazmierczak rushed up to the podium and sprayed Omar with a liquid.
Kazmierczak shouted something as he was tackled and apprehended.
“Oh my God! He sprayed something on her!” a town hall attendee shouted.
Ilhan Omar insisted to her security that she continue her event.
“We will continue! This f*cking a**hole is not going to get away with it!” Ilhan Omar shouted.
“No! No! Ilhan, we need to go get checked out,” a person said to Omar.
“Whatever it is smells so bad! She needs to get checked! I don’t know what that was! It’s not about him, it’s about your safety! He sprayed something on you!”
Ilhan Omar’s bodyguard tried to get her to leave, but she pushed back on him.
“Just give me 10 minutes. I beg of you,” Omar said to security.
Omar rebuffed her team’s requests to leave and continued demanding that Kristi Noem resign.
Kazmierczak was charged with 3rd degree assault.
DOJ Filing on Forced Reset Triggers Contradicts Pledges and Complicates Midterms
“@TheJusticeDept just filed an anti-gun statement of interest in Rare Breed Triggers’ lawsuit against @HoffmanTactical,” Gun Owners of America posted on X Monday. “It says @ATFHQ has a “strong interest… in limiting the sale and distribution of FRTs” or forced reset triggers.”
Read the full, anti-gun filing where @TheJusticeDept reveals its unconstitutional plans to hamstring ownership of forced reset triggers here,” GOA added, posting a copy of the “Statement of Interest of the United States of America” filed Monday in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee.
That makes fair the question “Why?” since it’s not in the interests of the millions of gun owners who voted for a Trump administration based on promises he repeatedly made to roaring and adoring crowds:
“Right from the beginning, for four incredible years it was my honor to be the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House, by far. Now I stand before you with a very simple promise: Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president when I’m back in the Oval Office,” Trump promised to resulting exuberance. “No one will lay a finger on your firearms. It’s not going to happen…”
Inarguably the administration has been “better” on the Second Amendment than any in our lifetimes, as exemplified by positive actions like filing briefs against bans on so-called “assault weapons” and standard capacity magazines, repealing “zero tolerance” of minor FFL errors, reviewing rules including “engaged in business” restrictions, supporting challenges to Hawaii’s restrictive carry laws, investigating “pattern or practice” by the Los Angeles County Sheriff for “slow walking” concealed carry permits, working on rights restoration and working to defund grants and foreign aid for gun control advocacy groups.
But it then turns around and in a seemingly bipolar move does things like backing NFA registration of untaxed firearms (to the exploitative delight of anti-gun groups).
Every infringement also contradicts the promise made by AG Pam Bondi in her April 8 “all hands” memo from last year, where she pledged:
“For too long, the Second Amendment, which establishes the fundamental individual right of Americans to keep and bear arms, has been treated as a second-class right. No more. It is the policy of this Department of Justice to use its full might to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.”
The purpose of that memorandum was to introduce the Second Amendment Task Force – an idea that seemed to have great political value at the time, until it became apparent that no gun owner representation meant everything would be decided by careerists with political stakes in the game. One wonders how many infringements would be advanced if groups like GOA or Firearms Policy Coalition had advisory seats at the table to help caution against missteps before they are made. You don’t have to contradict yourself and backtrack too often before people begin to suspect you’re insincere and will only tell voters what they want to hear long enough to secure their votes.
