DSA's Chilling Demands for Their Anti-Israel Puppet Mayor Zohran Mamdani: Boycott, Divest, and Arrest Netanyahu on Sight

"Smiley Z" 

If you thought the Democratic Socialists of America's takeover of New York City couldn't get any more unhinged, buckle up. Leaked docs reveal the Big Apple's DSA chapter is gearing up to strong-arm incoming Mayor Comrade Zohran Mamdani into shoving a toxic, Israel-loathing agenda down the throats of every hardworking New Yorker.

Tucked into the NYC-DSA's so-called "Anti-War Working Group" manifesto, a laundry list of 12 fever-dream "demands" for their handpicked mayor, is a full-throated call to slash every city contract with any company daring to do business with Israel. Oh, and let's not forget yanking all city funds from banks that have the audacity to lend a dime to the Jewish state. If there was no law against beheading Jews, well, figure it out.

This bombshell planning doc, first blown open by Just The News, was peddled at their November 2 public powwow, showing the DSA's been scheming since at least late September to lock in Mamdani's allegiance to their jihad against Israel once he swears in come January, and make sure he doesn't wimp out under "Zionist pressure."

The rest of this socialist fever dream? It's a greatest-hits of anti-Israel lunacy that'll make your blood boil:

Divesting city pensions from Israeli bonds and securities.

Banning Israeli products from the city-run grocery stores Mamdani wants to open.

Investigating real estate agents “hosting illegal sales of stolen lands in the West Bank.”

Stripping tax-exempt nonprofit status from entities that raise funds for the Israel Defense Forces.

End the NYPD’s training with Israeli Occupation Forces.

Arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and active IDF soldiers for “war crimes” if they enter the Big Apple.

Dismantle an NYC-Israel Economic Council formed by outgoing Mayor Adams.Mamdani, the unapologetic cheerleader for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) wrecking crew, won't even pretend to soften his core belief that Israel has no right to exist as a Jewish state. And don't get him started—or do—on refusing to denounce "globalize the intifada," the bloodthirsty slogan that's code for wiping Israel off the map. Dennis A. Clark“Well at least the DSA mask is off,” said state Assemblyman Kalman Yeger, a conservative Brooklyn Democrat and Orthodox Jew. “This was never about affordability, free buses or anything else. This was always about Jew hatred.

“With every municipal issue facing New York City’s government, the DSA doesn’t care about the state of our schools, streets, parks, subways, city budget or anything else. They care about Israel — Israel and only Israel.

“At least now they can stop trying to deny their antisemitism; most New Yorkers aren’t stupid,” said Yeger.Mamdani's dad, Mahmood Mamdani, perches on an advisory board that's made a cottage industry out of screeching "genocide" at the Jewish state. Campaigning? Sure, Zohran sprinkled some antisemitism condemnations like fairy dust while schmoozing Jewish leaders for votes. But it's all smoke, pure theater from a guy who's been marinating in this hate his whole life.

NYC-DSA’s “Anti-War Working Group” listed a dozen “demands” for the incoming Mamdani administration.

Enter Alicia Singham Goodwin, niece of China-loving Marxist moneybags Neville "Roy" Singham, who's the political puppet-master at Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. They rolled out a "Jews for Zohran" whitewash back in January, handing Mamdani a get-out-of-antisemitism-jail-free card, as The Post exposed in July.

But here's the kicker: He’s refused to budge on his longtime stance that Israel shouldn’t exist as a Jewish state or condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” that calls for the destruction of Israel.

“Well at least the DSA mask is off,” said state Assemblyman Kalman Yeger, a conservative Brooklyn Democrat and Orthodox Jew. “This was never about affordability, free buses or anything else. This was always about Jew hatred.” Stefan Jeremiah for New York Post Councilwoman Inna Vernikov (R-Brooklyn) isn't mincing words, calling out "Comrade Zohran" as the ultimate "radical DSA puppet" after poring over these docs.

“It was always obvious that he would carry the will of the most radical among us to the highest seat of power in our city,” she said. “Now we will see what happens when the insane run the asylum.”

Mamdani and his DSA overlords? Crickets on requests for comment. Shocker. New Yorkers, brace yourselves—this is the red-flag circus coming to City Hall.

Habba: DOJ moved ‘swiftly and decisively’ stopping a ISIS-linked Halloween terror plot targeting Jews

Photo allegedly sent by Milo Sedarat online

In the grim annals of our age, where the West's complacency towards its own undoing has become a kind of collective delusion, comes yet another tale of thwarted barbarism, foiled, mercifully, not by some grand awakening of societal resolve, but by the quiet vigilance of those still willing to do the unglamorous work of keeping the wolves from the door. 

The Department of Justice, in a rare display of what might once have been called competence, has dismantled an ISIS-inspired network that stretched like a malignant tumor from the rust-belt suburbs of Detroit to the smug shores of New Jersey. And the target was not some abstract symbol of imperial hubris, but the everyday Jews of a quiet American neighborhood, alongside the usual litany of "infidel" outposts: LGBTQ bars and the like. 

Halloween, that peculiar pagan romp turned corporate confection, was to have been their stage for slaughter.

The plot, as federal prosecutors lay it bare, was a squalid affair of encrypted whispers and adolescent zealotry. It was a "sprawling federal investigation," as the Justice Department termed it, and turned into a cabal of young men who mistook jihad for a video game. At its heart lay the "pumpkin" scheme: a mass shooting scripted for October 31st, code-named with the banality of a child's prank but armed with the lethality of AR-15s, shotguns, handguns, and a stockpile of 1,680 rounds. 

Ayob Asamil Nasser, alongside brothers Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud, stand accused in a 93-page indictment from Michigan's Eastern District of conspiring to funnel material support to the Islamic State. They trained at local ranges, swapped ISIS propaganda like contraband trading cards, and eyed Ferndale's gay haunts and a Jewish community center with the cold calculus of butchers. Raids on that fateful All Hallows' Eve yielded tactical vests, GoPro cameras for their snuff-film fantasies, and magazines from a U-Haul unit that might otherwise have hauled pumpkins.

Across state lines, the tendrils extended to Tomas Jimenez-Guzel, 19, of Montclair, New Jersey, and Saed Mirreh, 19, of Kent, Washington, nabbed this week in a New Jersey indictment that knits their fates to the Michigan cell. Selfies exchanged in their fevered group chats, faces blurred in a nod to operational hygiene, show Jimenez-Guzel beneath an ISIS flag and Mirreh in jihadi drag, as if auditioning for a caliphate cosplay. 

They face charges of conspiring to aid a foreign terrorist outfit, with Jimenez-Guzel additionally tagged for attempting flight: arrested at Newark Liberty International as he angled for Turkey en route to Syria's meat grinder. Court papers, cited by the Associated Press, note how their travel frenzy accelerated post the Michigan busts, "picked up speed," as if this were a mere change in itinerary rather than a sprint from the law.

U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, presiding over the New Jersey front, cut through the fog with a statement that, in saner times, would scarcely merit remark. The defendants, she said, "had pledged themselves to ISIS" and were in "frequent communication with the Michigan cell." On Friday, she added: "We will continue to move swiftly and decisively whenever terrorism or hate threatens our communities. The threat of terrorism is real when Americans are threatened. We respond fast, focused and together." 

Words that land like a slap to the multicultural pieties that have long insisted such threats are but phantasms of Islamophobia. In Detroit, her counterpart Jerome F. Gorgon Jr. vowed persistence: "We will not stop. We will follow the tentacles where they lead." And FBI Special Agent Jennifer Runyan echoed the resolve: her team will "continue to investigate, arrest and disrupt all attempts or plots to do harm … to defend the homeland." Habba hailed the cross-jurisdictional tango as "a model of coordination against extremist threats."

The digital spoor of their conspiracy unfurls in the annals of a WhatsApp group dubbed "Muslimeen"—a forum for sharing beheading clips, plotting firearms drills, and syncing the "pumpkin" countdown. Prosecutors see it as one hydra-headed organism: some cells primed for homegrown carnage, others for the foreign lure of the caliphate's corpse. The Michigan trio cools its heels in Detroit custody; Jimenez-Guzel and Mirreh have shuffled through Newark and Seattle courtrooms. Juveniles may lurk under sealed dockets, their youth no shield against the presumptive innocence that cloaks them all—for now. A criminal complaint, after all, is but an allegation; guilt awaits the gavel's fall.

One pauses, amid this inventory of intercepted malice, to ponder the fragility of the veil we have drawn over such realities. These were not grizzled operatives smuggled across porous frontiers, but homegrown recruits, radicalized in the cradle of American liberty, their grievances nursed on the same screens that peddle TikTok dances and flat-earth follies. The Jewish center in suburban Detroit was no accident of selection; it was a deliberate echo of ancient hatreds, repackaged for the hashtag era. And yet, how swiftly the story will fade—eclipsed by the next outrage or apology tour, as our elites tut-tut about root causes that dare not speak their name. The threat endures, not in distant deserts, but in the encrypted chats of the disaffected, where the West's own hesitations furnish the accelerant. Until we confront that truth without flinching, the Habba doctrine—swift, decisive, unapologetic—remains our slender bulwark against the gathering storm.

BREAKING: Gunman fires at federal agents during Chicago immigration enforcement: manhunt underway

photo: just a normal day in the Windy City

Picture this: A routine immigration sweep in Chicago's Little Village, a neighborhood that's basically a slice of Mexico plunked down in Chicago, turns into a scene straight out of a bad action flick. But instead of heroes, you've got federal agents dodging bullets from some cowardly thug in a black Jeep, followed by a howling mob lobbing paint cans and bricks at law enforcement. 

Authorities are searching for a man who allegedly shot at U.S. Border Patrol agents Saturday during immigration operations in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood. Border patrol agents were conducting immigration enforcement operations when a man driving a black Jeep fired shots at agents and fled the scene, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).And if that wasn't enough to make you question sanctuary city logic, the aftermath? A group of people threw a paint can and bricks at border patrol vehicles, DHS said. Local affiliate FOX 32 Chicago reported a flash bang was deployed, as crowds surrounded federal agents for multiple blocks. At least one person was detained, according to the outlet.

Enter the virtue-signaling cavalry: City Alderman Michael Rodriguez, of the 22nd Ward, posted a video to Facebook accusing the agents of "causing all sorts of mayhem." "They’re doing things that are unconstitutional, that are illegal," Rodriguez said of the agents doing their jobs and what America voted for. "They are causing fear and mayhem in our communities and that's unacceptable."

Oh, the irony. The guy's out there whining about "fear and mayhem" while his constituents are turning federal vehicles into piñatas, and more bullets fly there than Gaza.

And he wasn't alone in the social media circus. Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez, of the 25th Ward, was also live-streaming the chaos on social media. Sigcho-Lopez appeared to confront immigration agents, stupidly questioning them about why they were in the neighborhood, which is known as a largely Mexican-American community.

The Chicago Police Department (CPD) was called for assistance and cleared the scene. 

The shooter and vehicle remain at large, DHS officials said. "This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of violence and obstruction," DHS wrote in a statement on X. "Over the past two months, we’ve seen an increase in assaults and obstruction targeting federal law enforcement during operations."

Chief Border Patrol agent Gregory Bovino fired back at an X user who said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents "illegally fired tear gas into the street," saying there is "more to come." "Funny, you keep leaving out key facts including several shots fired at agents by a suspect, violent mobs throwing bricks and assaultive subjects," Bovino wrote in a post. "We still managed to apprehend illegal aliens today in Little Village. More to come."

"These confrontations highlight the dangers our agents face daily and the escalating aggression toward law enforcement. The violence must end."

Look, if Chicago's elected clowns like Rodriguez and Sigcho-Lopez spent half as much energy condemning the actual criminals, starting with the guy who turned a Jeep into a drive-by getaway car, instead of shielding sanctuary chaos, maybe we'd have fewer headlines like this. But no, it's easier to blame the badges enforcing the law than the mobs breaking it. 

Wake up, Illinois: This isn't "mayhem" from feds; it's the predictable fallout from years of the open-borders delusion. And as Bovino says, more to come, whether the local Dems and big Gov, Pritzker like it or not.

IDF on High Alert: Remains of Long-Lost Hostage Hadar Goldin Possibly Heading Home After 11 Years in Hamas Hell

Look, if there's one thing that's defined the grim calculus of Israel's endless tango with Hamas, it's the terrorists' macabre habit of hoarding the dead like bargaining chips in some twisted game of poker. But tonight, after more than a decade of stonewalling and heartbreak, there's a flicker of hope piercing the fog of Gaza's latest excavations. 

The IDF is gearing up to receive the remains of a deceased hostage, fingers crossed, it could be those of Hadar Goldin, the brave 23-year-old lieutenant snuffed out in 2014 during Operation Protective Edge, his body unceremoniously carted off to Hamas's underground trophy case.

Hamas, ever the reliable source of propaganda and torture, crowed to Al Jazeera on Saturday that they'd finally "recovered" Goldin's remains from a dig in Rafah. Yeah, like they searched high and low to find a person they captured and killed as a bargaining chip.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir didn't waste a moment, traveling to the Goldin family home as soon as the reports hit, per KAN. Smart move; in a story this raw, you lead with empathy before the facts start flying.

"The chief of staff reiterated his personal and the IDF's commitment to bringing back Hadar and all the fallen hostages and emphasized the importance of restraint at these sensitive moments, until his arrival and the completion of the necessary checks and verification," the military said. [Hold the cheers, folks, Hamas lies like it's an Olympic sport.]

The IDF's Southern Command, chatting with Walla, laid it out plain: Hamas's backhoe brigade in southern Gaza unearthed seven bodies from the site, and Goldin's might be in the mix. But they're not buying it wholesale. The report can't be verified, and "the source of all the publications is Hamas alone." In other words, treat this like you'd treat a promise from the ayatollahs: Skepticism is your best friend until the DNA says otherwise.

Through it all, the Goldin family, those quiet warriors who've kept the flame alive for 11 excruciating years, clung to cautious optimism. "An entire country is waiting for Hadar to be returned to us," the family said in a statement. "The chief of staff arrived at the end of Shabbat to update us on the tremendous efforts to free the hostages, and we salute everyone involved in this national mission. We are waiting for news of official confirmation that Hadar has returned to Israel. We ask that you remain calm. Until it’s confirmed, it’s not over."

God, if that doesn't hit you right in the gut. Late last month, whispers from a source confirmed what many suspected: Hamas knew damn well where Goldin was buried but played the stall game, dragging out the agony like it was just another leverage point in their endless war of attrition.

Flash back to August 1, 2014, in the sweltering hell of Rafah. 

Goldin, part of an elite engineering unit, was knee-deep in dismantling one of those infernal terror tunnels when two Hamas goons popped out like jack-in-the-box demons and snatched him. At first, the horror was that he might still be breathing in captivity. Days later, the IDF's gut-wrenching verdict: He was killed in the chaos, his body the prize they dragged back anyway. Sick scumcrumpets.

The Military Rabbinate, sifting through the shards of certainty in an uncertain war, green-lit a funeral anyway, partial remains laid to rest in a ceremony that drew thousands, a nation mourning a son it couldn't fully bury. It's the kind of half-measure that sticks in your craw, a reminder that Hamas doesn't just fight dirty; they fight eternal and extremely dirty.

If these turns out to be Goldin's, it'll be a long-overdue gut punch to the terrorists' strategy of using the dead to bleed Israel dry. But until the lab lights confirm it, we're all just holding our collective breath. One more round in this marathon of memory and resolve. 

Stay tuned, and pray it's him.

Trans "Rep" Stacie Laughton: From Statehouse Shenanigans to Federal Slammer for exploitation of children

A thing of beauty is a joy forever

Oh, New Hampshire, you magnificent cradle of liberty—how do you keep churning out these gems? 

Stacie Laughton, a transgender female [making 'her' a him] who moonlighted as a state representative until the jig was up, and now he's trading his pantsuit for prison stripes after pleading guilty to the kind of child exploitation charges that make even the most jaded among us reach for the Tums.

Laughton, who resigned from his perch in the NH House back in 2022 after getting pinched for stalking in violation of a court order (because nothing says "progressive pioneer" like ignoring judicial paper trails), shuffled into a Boston federal court on Monday and copped to sexual exploitation of children. That's right: the self-identified 'girly girl' [see photo above] who was elected to protect the vulnerable was busy exploiting young children from afar.

Flash back to October, when Laughton's main squeeze, Lindsay Groves, spilled the beans on snapping explicit photos of toddlers and beaming them over to his beau, as reported by the Daily Mail. 

Groves, moonlighting at a Tyngsborough, Massachusetts daycare, turned "story hour" into a private screening of the macabre. The photos were nude shots of kids snoozing away, snapped between May 2022 and June 2023, featuring at least four sexually explicit money shots of tots aged three to five. And it wasn't just a rogue selfie; this came with "thousands of illicit discussions about the images." 

Laughton could be cooling his high heels for up to 30 years when the gavel drops, and Groves is right there in the dock with him, both slated for sentencing in February, with three decades of regret on the menu. As the affidavit so poetically put it, Groves "used natural bathroom breaks for the children," such as "routine diaper pull-up changes prior to nap time … to take multiple photos of the prepubescent children in a private bathroom and then sent the photos to the (former intimate partner) via text message." 

Ah, yes, the poetry of perversion, subsidized by taxpayer-funded daycares.

But wait, there's more! 

Laughton's rap sheet reads like a greatest-hits album of bad decisions, starting in 2002 with a domestic violence/criminal mischief collar, followed by a 2003 sexual assault beef against a woman (irony alert: the plot thickens). Then, in 2015, he dialed up a bomb threat to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, because healthcare debates get real heated up north, and Democrats vote for this insanity. And just to keep the chaos fresh, 2021 brought an arrest for hijacking the state's 911 texting system. Guy's got more mugshots than Elon's got pennies.

Elected to represent Nashua in 2020 and reelected in 2022, Laughton bailed weeks after that second win over the stalking dust-up. One can only imagine the victory lap turning into a perp walk. In a sane world, this would be a one-and-done scandal, but in our glittering era of identity politics, it's just another Tuesday where the rainbow flag flies a little too close to the flames.

Hamas, Hezbollah, and Their Band of Scummy Brothers: A Toast to Eternal Jihad Against the Jewish State

Hamassholes and Hezbollonians

In the grim theater of Islamist fanaticism, where the dead are paraded as heroes and peace is dismissed as a Zionist plot, the latest gathering of terror's elite serves as a stark reminder that some wounds fester not from defeat, but from the delusion of perpetual victory.

One might have hoped, naively, perhaps, that the blood-soaked annals of October 7, 2023, would linger in the collective memory of the civilized world as a cautionary horror, a barbarism so raw that even the most hardened ideologues would pause to reconsider their path of self-destruction. 

But no: in the fetid halls of rejectionism, where the air reeks of cordite and odiferous grudge, Hamas and its constellation of terrorist confederates have chosen instead to crown that day of slaughter as a "landmark victory." Disarmament is a quaint Western fancy, fit only for the gullible. 

Peace initiatives, those fragile olive branches extended by a weary international community are illusions to be trampled underfoot. Their vow, delivered with the solemnity of a fatwa, is to press on in their war against the Jewish state, undeterred by the rubble of Gaza or the pleas of a region desperate for respite.

The stage for this latest tableau of defiance was the 34th Arab National Conference in Beirut, that perennial echo chamber of grievance and grenade. There, amid the incense of martyrdom and the rhetoric of endless "resistance," leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and a rogues' gallery of other Islamist death cults convened to denounce the "Israeli occupation and its expansionist projects in Palestine and the region," as breathlessly reported by the Arabic-language Lebanese news outlet Al Mayadeen. It was a summit less of statesmen than of saboteurs, where the clarion call rang out against any compulsion to lay down arms, those sacred totems deemed essential "in protecting national sovereignty and securing the region’s future." Western influence, naturally, was the great Satan to be scourged from the sands, lest it dilute the pure venom of their cause.

Hamas's chief, Khalil al-Hayya, took the podium to recast the horrors of that October dawn in the burnished glow of myth. "On Oct. 7, an extraordinary act of heroism unfolded across Palestine and its borders, as people everywhere contributed in their own way to support us," he intoned, as if the rape, murder, and mutilation of innocents at a music festival and in kibbutzim were but verses in an epic of liberation. Gaza, he allowed, lies "wounded today, but it remains steadfast, calling on everyone to stay united in the pursuit of our legitimate national goals." And then, with the weary cadence of a prophet foretelling apocalypse, he added: "Palestine will endure, just as Gaza has, despite the aggression — its land, its people, men, women, and children — and eventually, injustice will be overcome."

One listens to such words and marvels at the alchemy: how rivers of blood become ambrosia, how the screams of the violated transmute into symphonies of solidarity. At this Beirut bacchanal, Hamas and its allies exalted the October 7 atrocities not as a spasm of savagery, but as the fulcrum of history in their crusade against the "Zionist occupation." Proposals to carve up Gaza into zones of uneasy truce? Anathema, a betrayal of the sacred soil. Unity, they proclaimed, was their unbreakable creed—unity in arms, in ideology, in the unquenchable thirst for Israel's annihilation.

"We emerged from this battle against the occupation with our weapons in hand. All resistance factions stood united against the aggression, and that same solidarity extended to the political front," said Ziad al-Nakhala, the chieftain of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, his voice a gravelly hymn to the arsenal that sustains them. He turned his ire, predictably, on the peace overtures from Washington: "[US President Donald] Trump's plan has set numerous obstacles and conditions that cannot be implemented," he scoffed, as if the very notion of negotiation were an insult to their divine mandate.

In the shadow of these pronouncements, the international machinery grinds on, its diplomats shuttling between Tel Aviv and Doha in a Sisyphean bid to midwife a Gaza ceasefire and stitch together a broader Middle Eastern peace. Yet here, in the heart of Hezbollah's lair, such efforts are dismissed as the machinations of infidels, fit only to be met with escalation and the relentless advance of their theocratic agenda. Jamil Mazhar, deputy secretary general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)—that venerable relic of Marxist-Leninist terror now fused with jihadist zeal, laid bare the contempt. He called for "rejecting plans to place the Palestinian people under tutelage and opposing any attempt at demographic change," a not-so-veiled broadside at the Gaza peace blueprint, which envisions an International Stabilization Force (ISF) to shepherd the fragile truce.

Under Trump's plan, this ISF, a multinational brigade drawn from willing nations, would stand sentinel over the ceasefire, drilling local security outfits while patrolling Gaza's frontiers with Israel and Egypt, safeguarding civilians, and keeping the arteries of aid flowing unimpeded. A pragmatic scaffold for stability, one might think, in a land scarred by war's depredations. But to Mazhar and his ilk, it is chains disguised as olive branches. "We have gathered to renew our commitment against the Zionist enemy and its allies, and to reaffirm that the fight continues," he thundered from the rostrum. And lest the message blur into mere verbiage, he urged: "Today, we must move beyond mere solidarity and slogans, and put them into practical action."

From the Lebanese front, Hezbollah's international relations apparatchik, Ammar al-Moussawi, lent his voice to the chorus, reaffirming the Shia militant's unswerving fealty to the "resistance in Gaza." 

"We joined the battle to support Gaza out of our conviction in the justice and righteousness of this cause, and we do not regret our decision," he averred, as if the barrages of rockets into Israeli towns were but chivalric gestures in a noble quest. History, he invoked with the solemnity of a chronicler, "shows that the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine has endured crises far graver than today's, and the same resistance that produced those martyred leaders is fully capable of producing new ones." 

A chilling prospectus: the martyrs beget martyrs, the cycle of violence spun eternal by the hand of ideology.Nor was Yemen's Houthi horde absent from the fray. Their leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, hailed the "support fronts" as the unsung architects of this interminable two-year tempest. "Hezbollah's role is at the forefront of the support fronts, thanks to its steadfastness, pioneering and significant contributions, and immense sacrifices," he proclaimed, bestowing laurels on the very network that has dragged Lebanon to the brink of ruin. 

The Israeli-American axis, in his telling, "seeks to impose a permissive formula and always place the blame on the victim." And with a final flourish of paranoia: "The Israeli enemy is attempting to disarm the weapons that protect Lebanon and the arms that have prevented it from controlling Gaza for the past two years."

It is a tapestry of delusion, this conference, woven from threads of Iranian patronage, for Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis alike draw succor from Tehran's inexhaustible spigots of weaponry, coin, and cadre. Iran, that ayatollah's forge of proxy wars, ensures the flame of fanaticism burns undimmed. 

And so, as the world tires of translation and temporizing, these groups pledge not reconciliation, but redoubled rage. Peace, in their lexicon, is surrender; victory, an horizon forever receding yet eternally chased. One cannot help but pity the region, and Israel, that improbable bastion of resilience, condemned to dance to this macabre tune until the music, or the dancers, at last give out.

Governor who's committing suicide by food wants Illinois to allow state's visitors to commit suicide too

Illinois Democrats are at it again, shoving through a ghoulish Halloween special that's straight out of a dystopian nightmare: a bill to turn the Land of Lincoln into a one-stop shop for assisted suicide, all while trampling on the religious freedoms of doctors who actually believe in the sanctity of life. And it's just sitting there on Gov. J.B. Pritzker's desk, waiting for his progressive pen to make it official.

In the witching hour just after midnight on All Hallows' Eve, Illinois Senate Democrats bulldozed this death-on-demand legislation through in a 30-27 vote, capping off a House passage back in May. The measure would green-light doctors to hand out lethal prescriptions to terminal patients with six months or less to live, because this is how the left views "compassion."

But here's where it gets even more insidious: Conservative watchdogs are sounding the alarm that this isn't just about "choice," it's a full-frontal assault on faith-based medicine, forcing Christian physicians and hospitals to play along with the grim reaper's playbook.

"You're not just allowing physicians to give people deadly drugs to kill themselves, but you're actually forcing us or people of faith, to be part of it, to promote it," Peter Breen, head of litigation at the Thomas More Society, laid it out bluntly to conservative outlet The Daily Wire. "I know of no other state where the legislature has gone this far in restricting the religious liberty rights of people of faith."

Sure, the bill pays lip service to opt-outs for doctors who won't pull the trigger themselves. But Breen isn't buying it.

 Buried in the fine print are mandates that would compel institutions and physicians to refer patients to the poison pill parade and even advertise the "opportunity" to check out early. It's coercion dressed up as consent.

Worse, Breen warns, the language would tie the hands of Christian hospitals, making it impossible to boot a doctor who peddles assisted dying on the side, on or off campus. Because why stop at killing the patient when you can kill religious liberty too?

Ten states plus D.C. already flirt with this folly on both coasts, but Illinois? This would plant the flag of euthanasia smack in America's heartland, a beacon for the terminally ill from flyover country, and beyond.

"Illinois would become the first state in the middle of the country to enact assisted suicide," Breen hammered home. "There’s a significant concern that this is going to turn Illinois into a suicide tourism state."

What the Prairie State Democrats are peddling here is beyond the pale, a direct middle finger to Christian ethics that value life until the last breath. The Illinois Catholic Conference has blasted the bill and begged Biggie Pritzker to spike it like a bad shot.

Pritzker eyes the other sandwich

Even Breen, no fan of the governor's hard-left bona fides, clings to a sliver of optimism: Pritzker might actually veto this monstrosity over the First Amendment fallout. Fingers crossed, because the guy's track record isn't exactly a rosary of restraint.

For his part, Pritzker's playing the empathy card without committing. "I know how terrible it is that someone who's in the last six months of their life could be experiencing terrible pain and anguish. And I know people who’ve gone through that," he mused Monday. "It hits me deeply and makes me wonder about, you know, how we can alleviate the pain that they’re going through?"

If he inks this abomination, though? Game on. Breen vows the Thomas More Society will haul Illinois into court faster than you can say "equal protection." They've already tangled with the state over a prior outrage forcing pro-life pregnancy centers to shill for abortion, talk about déjà vu from hell. Let's hope the judge's gavel rings louder than the Democrats' death knell.

Trump Admin's War on Drugs Hits Hard: Another Narco-Terror Boat Blown to Bits as Hegseth Delivers Grim Warning to Cartels

If you're a fentanyl-pushing thug sailing the high seas, you'd better rethink your life choices because the Trump administration isn't playing games. On Thursday, the U.S. military lit up yet another drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean with a no-holds-barred kinetic strike, courtesy of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. 

Bahdahbing! goes the dynamite, and three more cartel scumcrumpets are swimming with the fishes.

This marks the 17th such takedown we've seen publicized under President Trump's iron-fisted approach to the border crisis he inherited from the Biden disaster. Most of these hits have been in the Caribbean's international waters, though a few have scorched boats off the Eastern Pacific. It's a message loud and clear: America is done being a doormat for these poison peddling terrorists.

"Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of Defense carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization," Hegseth said. "The vessel was trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean and was struck in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in the strike, and three male narco-terrorists, who were aboard the vessel, were killed."

Hegseth dropped a 20-second video clip on X showing the boat chugging along like the little boat that could, until it couldn't. Boom. He skipped naming the exact terrorist outfit behind it, but the point was crystal: these strikes are non-stop until the cartels get the memo.

Hegseth said the strikes will continue until "narco-terrorists" stop "poisoning" Americans. "To all narco-terrorists who threaten our homeland: if you want to stay alive, stop trafficking drugs. If you keep trafficking deadly drugs—we will kill you," Hegseth said.

Tally it up: At least 69 suspected traffickers have met Beelzebub thanks to these Trump-ordered ops. Only three survivors from two boats; one pair shipped back home for prosecution after the admin politely suggested their governments throw the book at them. The rest are simply collateral in the war on the opioid apocalypse that's claimed way too many American lives, to the tune of about 200 a day.

Ahead of the latest hit, Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave the Hill's bigwigs a rundown on Wednesday. Predictably, the Dems whined like it's 2017 all over again, clutching their pearls over "legal authority" while ignoring the body count from their open-borders fiasco."The notion of kinetic strikes without actually interdicting and demonstrating to the American public that these are carrying drugs and [are] full of bad guys, I think, is a huge mistake and undermines the confidence in the administration's actions," said Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA).Oh, please, as if Warner's crew ever cared about "demonstrating" anything beyond virtue-signaling photo ops at the border. Meanwhile, Republicans are all in, because—duh—this is how you actually save lives.

"They've got good legal justification for what they’re doing," said Idaho GOP Senator Jim Risch, the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "The president really ought to be congratulated for saving the lives of young American people. He should be thanked by the many parents who won’t even know that they won’t have to bury kids prematurely. They're doing good work. They're doing it lawfully, and I encourage them to keep it up."

Spot on, Senator. 

The Trump team has bent over backward with at least 13 bipartisan briefings to keep Congress in the loop, because transparency matters when you're dropping truth bombs on terrorists. Expect more fireworks: This admin's locked and loaded, turning the tide on the narco nightmare one explosive reminder at a time. God bless America, and good riddance to the bad guys.
