Things Have Changed…
I remind you once again: history is a trickster. Sometimes things turn out, and sometimes they just turn, and these days they’re turning hard. Get this: Russia is not our mortal enemy anymore. This is not 1956 or even 1986. It is no longer the so-called Free World against the wicked Hammer and Sickle.
Russia is no longer a weird political science experiment acting in defiance of human nature – that is, of people striving to make good lives for their families. No more sacrificing everyone’s happiness to prove Karl Marx’s cockamamie theories. Things have gotten strange, too. You see every indication that, for now, Europe has become something of adversary, if not exactly our enemy, yet. Europe has lost its mind

We will go into a depression the likes of which we’ve never seen before. It’ll be 1929.” Speaking of 1929…If you had $100,000 in stocks at the peak, you had about $11,000 left by 1932. And the Dow didn’t get back to even for 25 years.

When the pharaohs know Joseph: Colombia becomes 10th nation with embassy in Jerusalem 
In a move Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu characterized as one of “power, courage and faith,” Colombia inaugurated its embassy in Jerusalem on Wednesday, marking another major step in the rapid restoration of relations between the two countries. Speaking at the inauguration reception, Netanyahu reflected on Israel’s early ties with Latin American countries such as Colombia, describing them as “deep connections” that later deteriorated. “There was a new pharaoh, pharaohs, who did not know Joseph,” Netanyahu said, invoking the biblical account of Egypt’s changing relationship with the Israelites. Now, he said, “it’s all coming back.”

Kamala Harris eyes 2028? First stop: taking aim at Israel 
If you were wondering whether Kamala Harris was going to run again for president in 2028, this week provided a pretty solid clue: she’s going after Israel. In today’s Democratic Party, that’s political gold. Harris took direct aim at Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. And she’s not limiting her criticism to President Donald Trump. She’s also going after the Biden administration, where she served as vice president for four years.

Weizmann Institute’s “mind-reading” breakthrough revives a 2,000-year-old libel: Zionists can read minds
Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science have developed an artificial intelligence system that reconstructs the images a person is viewing from scans of their brain activity, matching the originals in content, color, and composition more accurately than any earlier method. The research, which drew international attention after MIT Technology Review reported on it on October 1, could one day help paralyzed patients communicate. Within days of the announcement, the research was being cast online in far darker terms, reviving one of the oldest accusations against the Jewish people: that they hold secret power over the human mind.

Even before the elections? Growing signs of an impending strike on Iran
The nearly certain loss of the House and fairly likely loss of the Senate in the fall will make the president’s life hell. Not only his, perhaps.

At Jerusalem site holy to Jews and Muslims, a fragile status quo is being erased
A barefoot, bearded man wrapped in a prayer shawl raises his voice to a crescendo. Dozens of Jewish worshippers surrounding him respond in a chorus of amens and praises of God in Aramaic, the ancient Jewish vernacular. Several bend down on their knees, then prostrate themselves face down on the ground. An Israeli police officer, one of a half-dozen standing guard around the group, fiddles on his phone. Just a few years ago, this scene of Jewish worshippers praying openly … would have been unthinkable.

Liberal Lawyer Obliterates the Dem Narrative That the Omar Immigration Probe Is Political 
Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is in serious trouble. A judge signed off on a search warrant for her D.C. home as part of the ongoing investigation into her immigration status, which is looking fugazi: her staff falsified her date of birth, and her father lied about his refugee status — no judge signs these warrants unless the evidence is damning. The initial liberal talking points came out strong but quickly died when we learned that the judge is a Democrat and was selected by D.C. Democrats. So, if this police action is politically motivated and fascist, it’s a bipartisan one. Also, as Jonathan Turley, a liberal law professor at George Washington Law School, pointed out, this probe into Omar’s immigration status started under Joe Biden:
