It will reportedly be able to accommodate several thousand soldiers and is expected to cost around half a billion dollars.

NPR’s war on Israel: Bias masquerading as journalism
National Public Radio’s bias against Israel has been a nearly daily thing since the Hamas-led terrorist invasion of southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Critics of the media outlet have rightly spoken out repeatedly against its slanted coverage, such as the continuous use of casualty figures issued by the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry as fact and without explaining to its audience that Hamas controls this information. What has gone largely unexamined is NPR’s blaming Israel for its supposed inability to access the Gaza Strip during the war.

Swiss Guard Spitting Incident at Vatican Shadows Jewish-Christian Relations on Nostra Aetate Anniversary
A member of the Vatican’s elite Pontifical Swiss Guard is under internal investigation after allegedly spitting toward two Jewish women at the entrance to St. Peter’s Square last month—an incident that occurred on the very day the Catholic Church was commemorating six decades of improved relations with the Jewish people.

The Media Line: Has President Trump Put the Kurds at Risk by Backing al-Sharaa and HTS Against Islamic State?
Washington just put weight behind Damascus’ plan to fold the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the Syrian state—narrowing Kurdish room to maneuver while leaving them to guard thousands of Islamic State detainees. That message followed a Nov. 10, 2025 meeting in Washington between President Donald Trump and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, which gave Damascus public US acknowledgment, limited sanctions relief, and a channel to press “territorial integrity.”

France to help Palestinians draft constitution for future state, Macron says
France will help the Palestinian Authority draft a constitution for a future state, President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday after talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Paris. A number of major Western nations, including France, formally recognized a Palestinian state in September, a move driven by frustration with Israel over its devastating war in Gaza and a wish to promote a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict. A US-brokered, Israel-Hamas ceasefire took hold in October, but Israel again rejected any prospect of Palestinian statehood.

Regrets on the global stage as countries rethink bans on Israel 
Belgium, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Slovenia and others announced varying degrees of suspension of military and economic cooperation with Israel. The United Kingdom banned Israeli soccer fans, and the Netherlands had an actual pogrom. Countries wanted to look strong, often in the face of violently anti-Israel and antisemitic mobs at home. But now, things are getting real and, as one analyst noted, “When things get real, countries put politics aside and go for Israel.”

The digital Reich: how America forgot the lessons of ‘Never Again’
The Democrats are fracturing under ideological litmus tests; the Republicans are fracturing under demagogues. The result is what some, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have called the “Woke Reich.”

Time is short for Trump 
Last week’s elections were a setback, but not a devastating one: New Jersey is still a blue state, and while Virginia went red four years ago, it’s been trending Democratic for more than a decade. Republicans also fared poorly in Pennsylvania, however, an all-important presidential battleground. Democrats even made inroads deep into the South, taking two state senate seats in Mississippi — ending a GOP supermajority — and picking up city council spots in South Carolina and Florida. With results like these, the Republicans’ razor-thin majority in Congress won’t survive the midterm elections a year from now.

The Leaders And Policies We Elect Mirror The Moral State Of Our Nation
Every election season, Americans send policies to the halls of government. Voters argue about taxes, foreign policy and healthcare. Yet, beneath the noise of campaign rallies and political advertisements lies a sobering truth: The leaders we elect are mirrors of the people who put them in power. Our government, in many ways, is a spiritual reflection of our collective moral condition. The moral/spiritual compass of the American electorate has drifted.

On 11/11 The Sun Unleashed An Absolutely Massive Solar Storm That Will Hit The Earth On 11/12
A G4 geomagnetic storm watch has been issued, and we are being told that the Earth is going to be hit. But at this hour we do not know how bad it will be or how much damage will be done. We are being told that scientists won’t know the intensity of the solar storm that is heading our way until it is a million miles from our planet. If the storm is much more powerful than expected, we will have less than an hour to prepare. In such a short period of time, there would be little that we could do to protect our power grids. So hopefully this solar storm will turn out to be relatively minor, because we are completely and utterly unprepared for another Carrington Event.

Fermi’s Massive Texas Data Center Struggles To Sign Its First Major Tenant
More storms clouds are gathering over the torrid, and in some cases chaotic, rollout of US data centers.  Fermi’s massive 11 GW energy and data center project in Texas, called Project Matador, which the company has envisioned to be the world’s largest AI data center and energy campus in the Texas Panhandle, near Amarillo, is struggling to close the deal with its first major data center tenant. And since Fermi is set up as REIT that allocates income from tenants to shareholders, the delay may raise doubts about attracting other potential money-generating tenants, in a toxic feedback loop.
