President Trump’s mediator Steve Witkoff and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee made a fact-finding mission to Gaza last week aimed at ascertaining the ground-truth about the effort to feed its people without providing life-support to Hamas. They utterly repudiated the blood libels being told about Israel deliberately, and relentlessly, starving Gazans.
Mr. Witkoff said flatly “There is hardship and shortage, but no starvation in Gaza.” And Amb. Huckabee blamed “the total obstruction” by Hamas for any privation that is happening.
Another example of efforts to win in the information warfare battlespace what the jihadists cannot on the battlefield is the claim made recently by Professor John Mearsheimer on Tucker Carlson’s podcast that Israel is engaged in “genocide” against the Palestinians.
That’s also demonstrably and shamefully untrue and amounts to aiding and abetting not just Israel’s enemies, but ours.

Israel Must Finish the Job in Gaza Now

The admonition that “If you are going through hell, keep going” applies to Israel amidst the blood libel that it is starving the people of Gaza and renewed efforts to secure a ceasefire there.
The Israelis must instead finish the job with Hamas. Only by decisively defeating that terrorist regime is there any prospect of an actual end to the Gaza conflict, as opposed to a hudna – Islam’s cynical use of temporary pauses to regroup, rearm and then reengage under more favorable circumstances.
Even the Arab League has finally called on Hamas to lay down its arms and release the hostages, albeit in the absurd context of having the hapless Palestinian Authority put in charge of a new state of “Palestine.”
If Hamas won’t surrender for the good of the people it misrules, Israel must make the jihadists do so now.

A Must-See Movie - "The Unrestricted War"

This afternoon, an excellent movie the Chinese Communist Party wants no American to see will be screened on Capitol Hill following a panel discussion in which I am proud to participate.
The reason the CCP is trying to suppress “The Unrestricted War” quickly emerges: It dramatically depicts the truly horrifying character of that transnational criminal organization, responsible for murdering 100 million of its own citizens – and determined to destroy ours.
The suspense-filled plot shows how the Chinese regime precipitated, then covered up – and murderously exploited, the COVID-19 virus, a biological weapon it deliberately unleashed on the world.
Especially galling to the Chinese Communists is the fact that among the film’s heroes are some who have suffered grievously at their hands – namely, followers of Falun Gong.
Every American should see “The Unrestricted War” – then help our country wage and win it.

Stop UN Taxation Without Representation

Next year, we’ll celebrate the 250th birthday of a nation founded to ensure there’s “no taxation without representation.”
Unfortunately, the United Nations is poised to start levying taxes our representatives can’t prevent, putting its pursuit of world government on steroids.
It begins with the International Maritime Organization imposing costs on shipping producing greenhouse gas emissions. Tens of billions of dollars would thus be generated, redistributing wealth from American and other consumers to feed the UN’s climate change slush fund and agenda.
This initiative would not only fundamentally transform the UN by ending its reliance on member states’ funding, which affords them a measure of control. It will also create a precedent for many more taxes to fund its globalist priorities.
The Trump administration has opposed this global tax. It must now impose real sanctions to prevent it from being imposed on us.

The claxons are sounding on Wall Street. Finally, analysts are beginning to take seriously the prospect that the U.S. financial sector’s longstanding practice of underwriting our mortal enemy, the Chinese Communist Party, is becoming untenable. Praise the Lord.
For example, one insider newsletter recently put it this way: “We continue to believe the de-listing of Chinese stocks from U.S. exchanges is increasingly likely as we believe both Republicans and Democrats will push for action. This is because there is no political downside to blocking Chinese firms from accessing U.S. capital while there is significant political risk to being branded as supporting the Chinese military and Chinese competition to U.S. companies.”
In fact, for those very reasons, we should see both the relatively small number of Chinese companies listed on our exchanges and the thousands of others being traded there removed forthwith.

A Promise Made to Our Military - and Kept

Donald Trump takes rightful pride in his record of “Promises made, promises kept.” He delivered on another important pledge with the restoration to the U.S. Air Force of one its most formidable leaders, my colleague Matthew Lohmeier.
Lieutenant Colonel Lohmeier’s installation last week as that service’s Under Secretary not only rights a terrible wrong – namely, Team Biden’s termination of his career as an exceptional aviator and rising officer in the new Space Force for publishing a damning indictment of the Marxists’ cultural warfare-enabled takedown of the U.S. military.
It also puts Matt in a key management position to execute President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s orders to strip out such so-called “Wokeism,” root and branch.
Unsurprisingly, keeping that promise is proving hard to do given how deep the Left’s insidious rot has penetrated and subverted our armed forces.
Let’s roll, Matt.
