Zohran Mamdani Isn’t Just an Enemy of the Jews — He’s a Warning for America
In recent months, New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani has tried to rebrand himself as a “friend of the Jewish people” and a champion of peace. The record tells a different story. From defending Hamas “resistance” to amplifying antisemitic propaganda, Mamdani has emerged as one of the most radical voices in American politics — and a symbol of how anti-Israel extremism is creeping into the Democratic mainstream.

Democratic Socialists — ‘major insurgent wing’ of the DFL — mourn end of war in Gaza
This week, a deal brokered by President Trump brought an end to Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip. Not all observers welcomed the end of this war. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) released a statement titled “Until Palestinian Liberation” which “acknowledges and welcomes the relief that may be afforded to Palestinians under the agreement in humanitarian assistance and cessation of Israeli military operations” — no mention of the Israeli hostages, you’ll notice. Who are the Democratic Socialists of America? The Star Tribune pondered this question in July in an article titled “Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh is a democratic socialist. Here’s what that means.” Author Deena Winter noted that Sen. Fateh’s now-revoked endorsement by the Minneapolis DFL: …has been heralded as another example of the growing influence of democratic socialists in the Democratic Party.

Syria Hides Thousands Of Bodies In Desert Mass Grave, Report Reveals
Investigators revealed that Bashar al-Assad’s government secretly relocated thousands of bodies from a massive grave near Damascus to a hidden desert site between 2019 and 2021. The covert operation, codenamed “Move Earth,” aimed to erase evidence of war crimes and improve the regime’s image. Satellite images and witness accounts show at least 34 new trenches used to rebury victims of extrajudicial killings, torture, and military campaigns.

The Modern Democratic Party Is Now Functionally Anti-Israel 
Today’s Morning Jolt concludes by noting that New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani insists he has no opinion about the future of Hamas, but he is adamant that if Bibi Netanyahu ever sets foot in New York City, the NYPD will arrest him on war crimes charges. Needless to say, there are some gargantuan legal questions about whether the NYPD could arrest a foreign leader who has diplomatic immunity over a charge that the U.S. federal government does not recognize as legitimate; also note that the U.S. government does not recognize the International Criminal Court, which issued the arrest warrant. In other words, even if a Mayor Mamdani ordered the NYPD to “arrest that man!” the cops wouldn’t have any legal authority to do so.

Israel blocks Turkish search team from entering Gaza until Hamas returns more hostage bodies – report 
Israel will block a Turkish search and rescue team from entering the Gaza Strip until Hamas returns all of the hostages’ bodies in its possession, an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday. The terror group has so far returned nine bodies to Israel, but Israeli officials say intelligence suggests Hamas still holds or has access to many of the remaining 19 bodies in Gaza and is deliberately withholding them.

Western powers seek UN resolution for international force in Gaza 
Paris announced on Thursday that France, the United States, and the United Kingdom are jointly drafting a UN Security Council resolution aimed at deploying an international military force to stabilize the post-war Gaza Strip. Although the force would operate under a UN mandate, it would not be run by the United Nations itself and would include troops from Muslim and Arab states. French Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Pascal Confavreux stressed that the countries seek an UN-backed mission based on international law for stabilizing Gaza.

When it’s okay to kill Gazans
In the handbook of how to be a proper Israel hater, it’s always wrong to kill Gazans…
unless it’s Hamas that’s doing the killing. Never mind the barbaric massacre, perpetrated on October 7th or the reaction of the Gazan people, who celebrated in the street after hearing about the atrocities that took place. The moment that the Israeli military fought against the bloodthirsty terrorists, who invaded their sovereign country, world response was to roundly condemn the killing of Gazans by the IDF.

Rabbi Kessin: “The Hostage Crisis Was Part of a Final Divine Reckoning”
In a recent lecture delivered just days after the Trump-brokered ceasefire that resulted in the release of Israeli hostages from Gaza, Rabbi Mendel Kessin offered a deeply spiritual—and provocative—interpretation of current events. Far from being merely a geopolitical turning point, Rabbi Kessin argued that the hostage ordeal is part of a larger divine accounting, a cosmic reckoning unfolding in real time.
Rabbi Kessin emphasized that this is not just military success, but a sign of divine intervention.

Trump predicts expansion of Abraham Accords

Hamas refuses to disarm, seeks continued control in Gaza
Asked about disarmament, Nazzal said, “I can’t answer with a yes or no. Frankly, it depends on the nature of the project. The disarmament project you’re talking about, what does it mean? To whom will the weapons be handed over?” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Office responded to Nazzal’s remarks by reaffirming Israel’s commitment to the ceasefire agreement. “Hamas is supposed to release all hostages in stage 1. It has not. Hamas knows where the bodies of our hostages are. Hamas are to be disarmed under this agreement. No ifs, no buts. They have not. Hamas need to adhere to the 20-point plan. They are running out of time,” the statement said.

IDF strikes terrorists emerging from terror tunnels in Gaza amid ceasefire
The IDF struck several terrorists who were seen exiting a tunnel shaft in the area of Khan Yunis and approaching the troops, the military said Friday. Additionally, several terrorists were identified exiting a tunnel shaft in the area of Rafah, also in southern Gaza, and opened fire toward IDF troops in the area.
This is the first instance in which the military has said that it has targeted terrorists in the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire went into effect.

Gaza Man Arrested in Louisiana for Alleged Involvement in Hamas-led Oct. 7 Attack, US Says

Israel’s deputy FM: Turkey and Qatar hold the key to peace in Gaza 
Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel said Thursday that Turkey and Qatar were key to implementing U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan in Gaza. The unequivocal remarks come amid uncertainty over the future of a brittle ceasefire as Hamas has failed to hand over most of the bodies of the dead Israeli hostages, and has killed scores of Gazan civilians and rivals in violent public acts of revenge over the past week. “Turkey and Qatar now hold in their hands the key to whether peace in Gaza can truly take root,”

US evangelical leader calls to ‘shut down’ Owens and Carlson 
Pastor Larry Huch senses an “awakening” following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk which he believes will see renewed support for Israel. A prominent American evangelical leader said on Thursday that the faith-based Christian community needs to take a more verbal stand against antisemitism, and to “shut down” people like right-wing political commentators and podcasters Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, who often feed into the hatred of Jews and Israel.

Red Cross transfers body of fallen hostage to Israel; Hamas claims it was found under rubble
After a day without the return of any fallen hostages, Hamas on Friday night handed over the body of a hostage killed in Gaza to the Red Cross.

Kremlin envoy proposes ‘Putin-Trump tunnel’ to link Russia and US 
Russia and the United States should build a “Putin-Trump” rail tunnel under the Bering Strait to link their countries, unlock joint exploration of natural resources and “symbolize unity,” a Kremlin envoy has suggested. The proposal by Kirill Dmitriev, President Vladimir Putin’s investment envoy and head of Russia’s RDIF sovereign wealth fund, envisages a construction project costing $8 billion, funded by Moscow and “international partners,” to build a 70-mile (112-km) rail and cargo link in under eight years. Dmitriev, who has helped spearhead a Russian charm offensive designed to revive US-Russia ties, floated the idea late on Thursday after Putin spoke to US President Donald Trump by phone and agreed to meet in Budapest to seek a way to stop the war in Ukraine.

Trump To Deliver Kill Shot To Schumer’s Billion Dollar Left-Wing Program In Push To End Shutdown Battle
When Democrats blocked a Republican-passed Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the federal government funded, it’s unlikely they considered the reality of handing President Donald Trump unprecedented executive powers. Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” that Democrats’ move to shut down the government was a “mistake” because it gave him the authority to slash their pet projects without impunity. He’s got his eyes set on one multi-billion dollar project close to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s heart. The government shutdown, dubbed the Schumer Shutdown, was triggered Oct. 1

Xi Jinping’s Purge Chaos Hits Politburo Amid Sweeping Military Ousters
Chinese military leadership was thrown into chaos after Chinese President Xi Jinping fired a slew of his top military leaders in an ongoing purge, the Chinese Ministry of Defense announced Thursday. Xi ousted nine military officials from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Friday after the government accused the officials of “serious violations of party discipline,” according to the Defense Ministry. The purge has reportedly shaken the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to its core as Xi moves to tighten his iron grip on power in the nation and its bureaucracy.

“Fueled By Billionaires”: No Kings Prepares Color-Revolution-Style Mobilization Against Trump

Texas Governor To Deploy National Guard To Austin’s ‘No Kings’ Protest
The governor in a post on X described the protest as “Antifa-linked.” He didn’t say how Antifa is connected to the scheduled protest. Antifa is a far-left extremist group that originated under the Soviet Union and functioned as the violent wing of Germany’s Communist Party to target political rivals. The group generally labeled its perceived enemies as “fascists.” Antifa’s mission is to stop people it deems to be fascists by “any means necessary,” including violence, its leaders say.

First Arrests Hint At How Billions In California Homeless Dollars Vanished Without A Trace on Newsom’s Watch
With the arrests and federal indictments of two California men announced on Thursday, we’re now getting an idea of how California’s billions of dollars to “end homelessness” vanished without a trace. Instead of helping to solve the problem of rampant tent encampments filled with addicts on the beaches and streets in California, things got worse. Where did all that money go? Now, the federal Homelessness Fraud and Corruption Task Force has begun running down the homeless scams that possess all the hallmarks of the ones Californians saw in its COVID spending and the notoriously poorly vetted unemployment scam, in which Nigerian princes and prison inmates alike received federal and state unemployment money. And then came the $100 million FireAid scam. All of this happened on Gavin Newsom’s watch.

The public is being psychologically prepared for a great and terrible war
“J.B. Shurk believes the public is being psychologically manipulated and prepared for a great and terrible war. For the last decade, military academics have been predicting a global war by 2030.

Minneapolis Public Schools Prohibit White and Asian Students From Taking Classes on ‘BLACK Culture’ and ‘BLACK Queens’ 
Several Minneapolis public high schools prohibit white and Asian students from enrolling in a set of courses on black culture, documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show. The courses contribute toward Minneapolis Public Schools’ (MPS) electives requirement, and white and Asian students must therefore choose from a narrower list of options in order to graduate. One of the proscribed courses, “BLACK Culture – Building Lives Acquiring Cultural Knowledge,” is open only to black men. Another, “BLACK Culture – Building Lives Acquiring Cultural Knowledge (Queens),” is open only to black women, a practice civil rights attorneys say almost certainly puts the schools in violation of civil rights law.

Every indicator and warning in the system is flashing red.”

How Trump Crushed The Left’s Media Machine
Europe, once the colonial power in the region, was reduced to a spectator role. Even the congratulatory statements from European heads of state looked awkward against Trump’s monologue.

He projects himself as the new ordering force in the Middle East, backed by allies like Saudi Arabia, now tied to Washington through billions in investment.

Most Of The Population Of The World Lives In A Nation Where Christians Are Being Persecuted
There are about 8 billion people living in our world today, and well over half of them live in a country where Christians are being persecuted. Of course that would come as quite a shock to the vast majority of the Christians that are living in the western world, because they never hear much about the nightmarish things that are being done to Christians in nations such as China, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and North Korea. Globally, the persecution of Christians is getting worse with each passing year, but since the mainstream media mostly ignores what is going on, most of us just assume that it really isn’t a big deal. But the truth is that what is being done to our brothers and sisters all over the world is absolutely horrifying.

The Government Can Now Take Money Directly from Your Account: What You Need to Know
HMRC, the UK government tax department, can now tell your bank to send them money from your account – without your knowledge – if they believe you owe them. This new power means they can directly access funds held in current accounts, savings, and cash ISAs. What’s worse is that this process will be automated, and appeals will only be possible after the transfer is made. HMRC has a shocking track record of customer service, and its processes are infamously riddled with errors – so what happens when they wrongly take thousands from you because of their broken system? Is it even your money anymore?
