Sen. Tom Cotton introduces bill to mandate federal usage of term 'Judea and Samaria' instead of 'West Bank'

US Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AK) has introduced legislation that would ban the term "West Bank" by the federal government and use the term "Judea and Samaria" instead.

On Thursday, Senator Cotton introduced a bill called the "Retiring the Egregious Confusion Over the Genuine Name of Israel's Zone of Influence by Necessitating Government-use of Judea and Samaria (RECOGNIZING Judea and Samaria) Act." He explained that this new law would "align US policy language with the geographical and cultural significance of the region."

“The Jewish people’s legal and historic rights to Judea and Samaria goes back thousands of years. The US should stop using the politically charged term West Bank to refer to the biblical heartland of Israel,” Cotton stated.

U.S. Representative Claudia Tenney from New York, who is known for her strong support for Israel, also backed the bill. She said that using the names Judea and Samaria officially is important for "defending the integrity of the Jewish state."

“The Israeli people have an undeniable and indisputable historical and legal claim over Judea and Samaria, and at this critical moment in history, the United States must reaffirm this,” Tenney said. “This bill reaffirms Israel’s rightful claim to its territory. I remain committed to defending the integrity of the Jewish state and fully supporting Israel’s sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.”

US President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has vowed to use the words Judea and Samaria instead of the West Bank.

“I can’t say something I don’t believe. As you well know, I’ve never been willing to use the term ‘West Bank.’ There is no such thing. I speak of Judea and Samaria,” Huckabee told Israeli media outlet Arutz Sheva in an interview. “I tell people there is no ‘occupation.’ It is a land that is ‘occupied’ by the people who have had a rightful deed to the place for 3,500 years, since the time of Abraham.”

If the US federal government were to officially use Judea and Samaria instead of the West Bank, it would be adopting terminology favored by Israel. This could show that US policy is moving closer to supporting Israel and might encourage more Jewish settlements in the area.

However, critics argue that changing the language could stir up more conflict in the Middle East, making it harder to achieve a two-state solution for peace between Israel and Palestine.

After the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, where Israel gained independence, Jordan began using the term "West Bank" for the region west of the Jordan River that it controlled. Since Israel took over this area during the Six-Day War in 1967, it has referred to it as Judea and Samaria.

Hezbollah now rebuilding miilitary and financial resources back merely a week after ceasefire

Hezbolah has already begun getting back to its roots as they rebuild their military and financial capabilities in order to kill the, you know, the Jews! It's only a week since the ceasefire with Israel went into effect after 13 and a half months of war, as the New York Post reports.

While the Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF) attacks from the air and on the ground have significantly harmed Hezbollah's setup and fighters, U.S. intelligence suggests that the group has begun to recruit new members, increase its own weapons manufacturing, and seek ways to keep smuggling weapons through Syria.

Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing a senior U.S. official, an Israeli official, and two U.S. lawmakers who were informed about the intelligence.

Under the terms of the ceasefire agreement on November 27, Hezbollah is not allowed to rearm.

According to U.S. assessments, Hezbollah lost over half of its weapons and thousands of fighters during the conflict with Israel. Despite these losses, it hasn't been completely wiped out. The sources mentioned that Hezbollah still possesses thousands of short-range rockets and plans to rebuild by using weapon manufacturing facilities in nearby countries, with routes leading into Lebanon.

One of the lawmakers told Reuters, "Hezbollah has been 'temporarily weakened' and its command-and-control capabilities diminished." However, the lawmaker added, "This organization is built to withstand disruption."

Washington is especially worried about what's happening in Syria, where groups of terrorists backed by Turkey have recently attacked in Aleppo and Hama, posing a big challenge to the Assad government, which is supported by Iran and Russia. Israel keeps hitting Hezbollah's smuggling paths in Syria and along the Syrian-Lebanon border to stop Iranian weapons from getting through.

A high-ranking U.S. official disclosed that the U.S. is pushing Syrian President Bashar Assad to limit Hezbollah's actions, with help from other countries in the region. Reuters mentioned earlier this week that the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates talked about possibly removing sanctions on Assad's government, but only if he stops the flow of weapons to Hezbollah, among other conditions.

Hezbollah officials claim they will keep up their "resistance" against Israel [aka those Jews, Christians,  and Arabs]. However, sources in Lebanon suggest that right now, Hezbollah's main effort is on rebuilding and fixing homes that were damaged by Israeli airstrikes in Southern Lebanon and Beirut.

Regarding Hezbollah's financial situation, Saudi-owned, London-based pan-Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported that the terror group has begun assessing repairs to its financial arm, Al-Qard al-Hassan, which was heavily damaged by Israeli attacks during the war.

The Iranian-supported group is planning to give housing grants through a bank to help fix the homes of families affected by the war. Each family could get $12,000 to cover rent and repairs.

Even after a major Israeli air strike on October 21, the bank managed to restart its services just one week after the ceasefire began.

A Saudi newspaper noted that "the bank starting up again shows that Israeli reports of its destruction were not true." But, someone close to Hezbollah revealed that the group experienced big financial hits during the war. This insider also said that the money for rebuilding wouldn't come from Al-Qard al-Hassan, but from new funds Iran sent to Hezbollah.

On the first day of the ceasefire, Iran sent $1 billion through a local middleman, which Hezbollah intends to use for recovery projects.

So is anyone surprised that Hezbollah constantly lies to their enemies? It's known as taqiyya in Islamic scripture--lying for the sake of Islam, and mostly associated with Shia Islam. It allows for deception or dissimulation under certain circumstances and Hezbollah seems to make taqiyya-supporting circumstances up as they are needed.

Sneaky is as sneaky does.

IDF strikes Hezbollah smuggling routes on Syrian border

On Thursday night, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) conducted a significant operation, destroying numerous weapon-smuggling routes utilized by Hezbollah near the Syrian-Lebanese border, as announced by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

These strikes have reportedly diminished the operational capacity of Hezbollah's Unit 4400, which oversees the smuggling of weapons and is helping to incapacitate the terrorists from killing Israelis.

According to the Israeli Defense Forces, these actions are part of an ongoing campaign aimed at disrupting weapon-smuggling operations facilitated by the Syrian regime across the Syrian-Lebanese border in recent weeks.

The IDF also stated that Hezbollah, supported by the Syrian regime, exploits civilian infrastructure for terrorist activities and weapon smuggling, with the intent to target Israeli civilians, because their goal is genocide of the Jews, no matter how they pretend that it's the Jews [who have historically inhabited Israel for over 3,000 years] who are the occupiers.

Furthermore, the IDF emphasized its commitment to neutralizing any threats that contravene the ceasefire agreement and ensuring that Hezbollah does not recover its capabilities.

Am Yisrael Chai!

CEO Shooter and Some on the Left Are the New Faces of Evil

'Hero' of the Left

Brian Thompson, 51, was the CEO of UnitedHealthcare before he was gunned down on the dirty streets of New York City execution style. There was video of the apparently planned execution on Wednesday morning, showing the killer dressed in a green hooded jacket stepping out from behind a parked car as Thompson passes by. The killer shoots once, then has to clear his gun, which apparently has a sound suppressor mounted on it. Then he shoots again as Thompson falls and doesn't move again. Then the shooter runs, gets on an electric bike and rides off into Central Park.

New images of the killer were taken at a youth hostel where police believe the killer was staying prior to the deadly act, according to the New York Post. At this time, the name of the suspect is unknown.

The cops raided the hostel and a home in Manhattan in connection with the killing, according to West Side Rag reporter Gus Saltonstall. There is a $10,000 reward "for information leading to an arrest and conviction."

Shell casings were found on scene with the words "deny," "defend," and "depose," written on them. At this time law enforcement is looking into previous death threats to Thompson that he received before he was mercilessly gunned down.

UnitedHealthcare has been criticized for denying some of their patients' claims, but that doesn't justify murder, does it?

Former Washington Post and New York Times "reporter" Taylor Lorenz, said on the day of the murder that she wants health insurance executives "dead" a few hours after Thompson was executed. She posted her "be kind" statement on social media platform Bluesky. Her exact words, "And people wonder why we want these executives dead." 

In another post, this unkind hack reposted a different link to the Blue Cross report and included a screenshot of Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO Kim Keck. Then on X, she reposted a user who wrote, “Brian Thompson killed more US Citizens than every serial killer combined, but because he made money off it the media considered him a successful businessman and morally upstanding citizen.” 

Taylor Lorenz is an immature, childlike fraudster whose attempt at virtue signaling merely shows her soiled soul. 

"Are you glad too?"

Lorenz attempted to justify her posts about Thompson and other health insurance executives, writing, “People have very justified hatred toward insurance company CEOs because these executives are responsible for an unfathomable amount of death and suffering. As someone against death and suffering, I think it’s good to call out this broken system and the ppl in power who enable it.”

Calling for the deaths of insurance CEOs cannot be justified.

“That said, healthcare executives absolutely want people dead as long as it helps their bottom line and that’s the entire problem,” Lorenz added. “My sympathies are with the innocent people who have died or suffered after being denied coverage by greedy insurance companies.”

Ah, the softer, gentler side of Lorenz.

Other scumbags condemned Thompson and insurance company CEOs after he was murdered in cold blood. Columbia University professor Anthony Zenkus wrote, “Today, we mourn the death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, gunned down…. wait, I’m sorry – today we mourn the deaths of the 68,000 Americans who needlessly die each year so that insurance company execs like Brian Thompson can become multimillionaires.”

How clever and virtuous to blame the deaths of 68,000 Americans on one man and then justify killing him. Spite hath no boundaries among the evil.

Fani Willis ordered to turn over communication with Special Counsel Jack Smith, J6 Committee

Fani [aka Fanny] Willis is to the American justice system as Al Sharpton is to Reverends.

A Georgia Superior Court on Tuesday found Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in default for not providing records requested by Judicial Watch related to her communications with Special Counsel jack "Get Trump" Smith's office or those regarding the J6 rally.

Judicial Watch (JW) sued Willis under the Open Records Act (ORA) and the court granted the default judgment motion JW filed.

The motion said the lawsuit against Willis was filed in March 2024, but by May, when Judicial Watch asked the court for a default judgment, Willis still hadn't responded. She was supposed to file an answer within 30 days of being served, which was on March 11. Although the proof of service was filed just two days after that, it didn't show up in the court's online records. Because of this, the court thought Willis hadn't been served yet, so in April, they ordered Judicial Watch to serve her again. Judicial Watch then resubmitted the proof that Willis was indeed served on March 11 (Post Millennial).

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis must forfeit any and all communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith and House Democrats' Jan. 6 Committee, a state judge ruled on Tuesday.

In his six-page order, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled that Willis is "in default" for failing to file court documents responding to a legal challenge brought by Judicial Watch.

The conservative watchdog group filed a lawsuit against Willis in March after the Democrat district attorney denied having any of the records the group sought in an August 2023 open records request. That request aimed to obtain communications between her office and the special counsel and/or the Jan. 6 Committee.

“We’ve been doing this work for 30 years, and this is the first time in our experience a government official has been found in default for not showing up in court to answer an open records lawsuit,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “Judicial Watch looks forward to getting any documents from the Fani Willis operation about collusion with the Biden administration and Nancy Pelosi’s Congress on her unprecedented and compromised ‘get-Trump’ prosecution.”

Now let's hurry up and wait to see what will transpire. Many people think Willis needs to go. 

What do you think? 

French gov't collapses as PM gets no confidence vote

The French government collapsed on Wednesday as the lower house of parliament voted to remove Prime Minister Michel Barnier, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The French National Assembly has voted to pass a no confidence motion against Prime Minister Michel Barnier, garnering 331 votes, well over the required 288. This has compelled Barnier and his cabinet to resign. The vote was spurred by significant opposition to Barnier's budget austerity measures aimed at tackling the country's escalating deficits.

In an Assembly where no single party holds a majority, opposition groups united to oust Barnier, arguing that his policies imposed harsh austerity and ignored public needs, according to the Associated Press.

This vote has marked Barnier as the shortest-serving prime minister in France's modern history. Now, President Emmanuel Macron faces the task of appointing a new prime minister to ensure the continuation of legislative processes, including the critical approval of the 2025 budget.

Barnier's ousting comes after months of protests across France, with many citizens and political figures criticizing Macron for his method of appointing Barnier in a surprise snap election in September, as reported by France 24. Barnier had previously survived a similar no confidence motion in October.

Ahead of Wednesday's vote, Barnier, in a national television appeal, urged lawmakers to act with "responsibility" and prioritize "the country’s best interest."

"The situation is very difficult economically, socially, fiscally, and financially," Barnier declared on Tuesday. "If the no confidence motion passes, everything will be more difficult and everything will be more serious."

President Macron, who has insisted he will serve out his term until 2027, is facing mounting pressure from an increasing number of lawmakers calling for his resignation.

Right-wing leader Marine Le Pen, in a speech before the vote, accused Macron of being willing to "sacrifice the fate of France because of his vanity."

"Emmanuel Macron has attacked the foundation walls of the nation for the past seven years," Le Pen stated. "He alone can pull the country out of the rut it’s in [with his resignation]."

Éric Coquerel, who leads the National Assembly’s finance committee and represents the left-wing New Popular Front, urged Macron to "listen to the calls for his resignation growing from all sides."

"Today we are voting to censure your government, but more than anything else, we are sounding the death knell of a mandate: that of the president," Coquerel said.

The last instance where the National Assembly successfully toppled a prime minister was in 1962, during the tumultuous period of Algeria’s fight for independence and an assassination attempt on then-president Charles de Gaulle.

Black Church Insists MSNBC Suspend Unbelievably Rev. Al Sharptongue Over Kamala's Campaign Payoff

The Unbelievably Reverend Al Sharptongue

The National Black Church Initiative that represents 27.7 million people and 150,000 black churches across the country is calling on the far-left network MSNBC to suspend and investigate host Al Sharptongue over the covert donations his organization was paid by the Kamala Harris miserably failed presidential campaign. 

The group said Wednesday that it is "very concerned" by the "growing scandal," now that the incredibly Reverend Sharptongue has been outed and want the network to "launch an investigation" which will not somehow find a way to blame President-elect Trump for the failure to disclose Sharptongue's payoff. They want Rev. Sharptongue's suspension until the investigation is complete, and realize that it's going to take time for the network to find an actual journalist, especially an investigative journalist, to do the job of looking into why the money, all $500,000 of it, had not been disclosed when the very Reverend Sharptongue asked Harris the powderpuff questions October 3 on his MSNBC show PoliticsNation with the interview on October 20. 

The National Black Church Initiative was founded in 1991 with a mission of reducing "racial, social and . . . economic disparities" while preserving "the authority of the black church's voice." And while the wildly Reverend Al Sharptongue actually increases racial and social disparities between black and white people, they still refer to him with the honorific "Reverend."

In addition to the group focusing on disparities between black folks and white folks, they also are involved with health issues, especially those pertaining to black Americans. They have criticized the highly Reverend Al Sharptongue's in the past for taking donations from tobacco companies while opposing a ban on menthol cigarettes, a popular choice among black smokers. [Remember Willy the Penguin: 'Smoke Kools'.]

The initiative's president, the Rev. Anthony Evans, said Sharptongue is "loved and admired by many in our coalition, especially our gullible population who believe anything Rev. Al says."

Sharpton failed to disclose the money he was paid to his handful of viewers or to MSNBC executives, according to a spokes-lefty for the network.

The host has not addressed the scandal, and MSNBC has refused to comment on whether he was punished for failing to disclose the apparent conflict of interest. But the chances that the network would punish a black man who they know would attack them as racists and white supremacists would make it highly unlikely they would do anything to cross him. 

In 2010, MSNBC suspended network white hosts Joe Scarborough and Keith Olbermann for donating to Democratic Party campaigns, saying that the payments violated the network's policies that require employees to disclose political activity to company executives, but if they really wanted to, they needed to use a VPN and a third party credit card.

The Society of Professional Journalists, a prominent journalism ethics group, [no joke] has criticized MSNBC and Sharptongue over the conflict of interest, calling it a "black eye" for the network and the media industry as a whole. Mostly Reverend Sharptongue called the Society of Professional Journalists racists for using the term 'black eye.' "Why couldn't they call it a white eye? Why is it always a black eye?" he asked.

Meanwhile, former actor Rob Reiner said that if the wonderfully Reverend Al Sharptongue is disciplined, he will set himself on fire and then leave the country.

Kamala Hahaharris begs for money to bail out her dismal campaign annihilation

"Can you help out? Your money will bail me out this time."

Instead of trying to raise money to bail out Minnesota Freedom Fund protesters who were jailed for protesting illegally after George Floyd's death, now Kamala Harris, the failed Democratic presidential candidate and currently MIA VP is trying to raise $20 million for the overspending she created in her campaign expenditures. It seems like $1,500,000,000 wasn't enough to blow in just 15 weeks.

Of that money wasted away, more than $654,000,000 was spent on ads from July 22 to Election Day, and there were high-profile events with paid celebrities on the eve of the election costing over $10,000,000. The incredibly Reverend Al "You're a Racist" Sharpton's organization got two payments of $250,000, Oprah's company, Harpo Productions, got about $2,500,000 to endorse the cackling loser, Megan Thee Stallion was allegedly paid $5,000,000 and she didn't even perform Wet A** Pu**y for the crowd. Then there was Eminem who allegedly received $1,800,000 and a woman named Beyoncé allegedly receiving $10,000,000. And finally, who can forget Lizzo who may have received $3,000,000, but there was no clear evidence to support that claim.

But with all that money in the Democrat's coffers, Kamala Harris ended up being $20,000,000 in debt. And that's because it was never her money to spend--it was her donors' and many of them are pissed.

Now the alleged Vice President is still trying to extort donors for money, weeks after her landslide loss, leaving supporters spent.

“With Trump nominating MAGA loyalists left and right, there is nothing more important than making sure we can fight back and hold him accountable,” read an email from Kamala HQ, the New York Post reported.  “That’s why we need you to step up today. Yes, today.”

“Our records show that you haven’t pitched in to support our Harris Fight Fund program yet,” the missive scolded. “We know the election didn’t turn out as we’d hoped, but we’re not backing down.” 

The nonstop squeegie panhandling was pure Harris as it alienated Democrats who donated and/or voted for her. She has absolutely no political instincts nor the common sense to use common sense.

“Getting fundraising requests after any candidate has lost, when they admit that they are still millions of dollars in debt, having blown through over a billion dollars … is especially galling,” Democratic strategist Jon Reinish told the newspaper.

“When I got yet another request form the Harris campaign for me to pony up. Quiet frankly I thought it was insulting,” Reinish added.

More than half a billion dollars went to just four well-connected Democratic media consulting shops, according to records and reports. 

Money well wasted.

None of Harris’ funding emails mention any of the spending or the campaign committee’s alleged financial woes.
