Conrad Black: Destroying Hamas is Israel's righteous cause
The end of the terrorist organization is the only way to achieve peace
The Gaza War seems finally to be reaching its climax. On one side, Israel’s opponents are accusing it of genocide and of trying to starve the Palestinians into surrender and Britain, France, and Canada are recognizing the completely discredited Palestine Authority as a sovereign government of “Palestine.”
On the other, Israel is finally assaulting the citadel of its terrorist opposition, the intense complex of tunnels and redoubts at the centre of the City of Gaza. There will obviously be a profound inquiry in Israel into every aspect of this war, once it is over, and particularly into why Israel was taken by surprise as it was, and why it has taken until now for the Israeli Defense Forces finally to assault the ultimate strong point of Hamas.
The implicit assumption of most
of Israel’s critics that the October 7 incident was merely another skirmish in
a long-standing border dispute between the Jews and Arabs towards an eventual
demarcation between a Jewish and an Arab state is bunk. This was not just another
border incident, following Britain’s cavalier promise of 1917 of making
Palestine a homeland for the Jews without compromising the rights of the Arabs.
It has emerged in the aftermath of the October 7 attack, including from an all-party investigation under the auspices of the British House of Lords, that Hamas actually thought that it could send a flying column of only a few thousand heavily-armed terrorists unobstructed to the eight gates of Jerusalem and that the attack would trigger a general Arab uprising throughout Israel. It confirms that the October 7 attack was intended to plunge the whole territory of the old Palestine Mandate into general conflict whose ultimate objective was to destroy the state of Israel and replace it with an Islamist Arab state which would either kill, subjugate, or expel the Jews.
All of these fates are familiar
outcomes in the terribly tragic and frequently noble history of the Jews of
more than 5,000 years. But the greatest assault upon the Jewish people in all
of its history by the German Third Reich and its accomplices during the Second
World War was decisive in the world’s resolve to give the Jews a state for the
first time since the suppression of the Kingdom of Israel under the heirs of
King Solomon by the Persians in the ninth century BC. Israel has determined
that the Jews will never again submit to such a passive and tragic fate. The
Nazi Holocaust murdered approximately half of the entire Jewish population of
the world and an equivalent number ( but obviously not a similar percentage) of
non-Jews.
The problem that has existed and has finally forced itself into the consciousness of all serious observers, is that the controlling influences within the Arab population of that territory believe that the existence of a genuine Jewish state in and on that territory is intolerable and that they can never accept it and will therefore never acknowledge the right of the State of Israel to exist as a Jewish state.
This
collides with the post-Holocaust Jewish view that the Jewish people finally
again after a lapse of 29 centuries have a state of their own and they are
determined that “never again” will the Jewish people be herded as passive
victims to slaughter. They will preserve the integrity and the rights of the
Jewish state at all costs and forever. Much of the “peace process” has so far
been a hopeless cul-de-sac. The Palestinians could have had a state at any time
in the last 25 years but they do not believe that any state that confirms the
existence of the Jewish state is a satisfactory Palestinian state. In 2023,
Hamas committed a heinous act of war with the support of Iran which became the
champion of the Arab enemies of Israel as the Arab powers themselves became
much more concerned at the encroachments of their ancient Persian and Turkish
oppressors than they were at the presence of the Jews among them; radical Islam
passed from the hands of the Arabs to the Iranian government, much hated though
it is by the population of Iran.
Most of the
Western world seems unable to take on board the fact that this is not just an
interruption in the terribly difficult and syncopated progress toward enactment
of the two-state solution. Some combination of unrigorous thinking and
traditional antisemitism has caused the confection of an anti-Israel argument
built on contradictions. This has been most clearly stated in the Financial
Times on September 15, following the Israeli attack on the Hamas leadership
meeting at Doha in Qatar last week. (The Financial Times is almost as
viscerally hostile to Israel as the Guardian but couches its Jew-baiting in
more intellectually presentable terms.) Israel was condemned for continuing to
attack Hamas despite the mortal and irreparable damage it has already done to
the terrorist apparatus of that organization and at the same time it was
denounced for continuing its effort to exterminate Hamas when that objective is
in fact impossible of achievement.
When that analysis is examined, Israel is effectively accused of attempting to do what is impossible and also of continuing to pursue what it has already accomplished. Neither is true and as with other wars which can ultimately be brought to a victorious conclusion by one side, Israel is perfectly within its rights to persevere until the entire military and terrorist apparatus of Hamas has been destroyed. The allegation of genocide is nonsense as genocide consists of a deliberate attempt to exterminate all or a substantial part of a defined group.
Israel became exasperated with the Hamas habit of stealing food supplies for
itself and starving the Palestinian people it supposedly represents, and
reduced food assistance in Gaza in March but by May had recognized that this
was a public relations as well as a humanitarian disaster and reversed course
and is assuring that food is widely distributed. On a parochial Canadian note,
Radio Canada should be congratulated for suspending the journalist (Elisa
Serret) who explained to viewers that the United States was sticking with
Israel because Jews controlled American politics.
Obviously, no people finds the thought of genocide more repulsive than the Jews, and if that were Israel’s objective it could certainly have achieved it. Israel should be encouraged and applauded for taking the one absolutely necessary step to make some sort of peace in its region possible: the destruction of the principal element in the Palestinian population that believes that peace in the area is impossible as long as a Jewish state exists.
If Israel wishes to
confound its unctuous Western critics, straddling gymnastically between
incompatible positions, including Canada, France, and the U.K., it too should
recognize the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah as Palestine, to rub Hamas’
bloody nose in its failure, as the PA has no chance of meeting all the French
demands for democracy and integrity and the whole initiative is a farce. The
destruction of Hamas as a terrorist force will not only prove that peace is
possible; it will create the only conditions that could give peace in Israel
and Palestine a chance.

Evil Is Real And Has Embedded Itself In The American Left
With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the word “evil” is being tossed around. It seems to be little more than a verbal equivalent to “fascist,” “racist,” and a handful of other words that are used without a second thought for what they actually mean. We are appropriately repulsed by the act, so we call it evil. But few of us truly understand that these “horrific” acts have a fundamental connection to the realm we cannot see. Yes, I’m going to discuss theology, because there is no other proper explanation for the acts of the assassin and any co-conspirators. Argue all you want, but it is the truth, and the truth remains the truth, whether you agree or not.
“Evil” is a concept in the realm of morals. The late Christian philosopher Ravi Zacharias trenchantly noted that “there is no moral law without a moral law-giver.” If any of us declares a “moral law,” our proclamation will have as much authority as that pack of space monkeys typing out the collected works of Shakespeare in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Consider the prohibition on theft.
If you steal my stuff, I’ll get upset. But it’s the state statute that makes it criminal, and that law was created by a legislative body that has the right to make laws governing our behavior. It has the higher authority required for law-making. The law against theft echoes “Thou shalt not steal” from the Ten Commandments for a good reason. Good laws follow God’s moral commandments.
Good and evil are actually descriptions of loyalty to God or rebellion against God. It’s just that simple, and evil’s as old as creation. We all know the story of the snake in the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The “shining one” (literal Hebrew) tempted Adam and Eve, and the rest is history. But this doesn’t tell us the back story. (Bible geeks can read Ezekiel 28:1-19 and Isaiah 14:1-20. Just don’t let theologians tell you those are just metaphorical. They’re real.)
Genesis 6:4 talks about how the “Sons of God” saw that our women were beautiful. So, they left their position in heaven to party and have giant children (Nephilim). Wait! That isn’t what the text says? Actually, it does. First, the term “Sons of God” refers to celestial beings. Don’t let theologians deter you. Do your own word study. Then read Jesus’ answer to the lawyer in the story of the seven brothers in Mark 12:20-25 (Also in Matthew 22:25-30 and Luke 20:29-36). He tells them that they’re making a mistake because they don’t understand “the scriptures.”
You can search the entire Old Testament, but you won’t find a word supporting Jesus’ comment. That’s because the scripture He’s referring to is The Book of the Watchers in 1 Enoch 1-36. It’s part of the Ethiopic canon, and gives the story of fall of the elohim (Hebrew for “gods”) in detail. It also explains how these celestial beings rebelled and left their proper station and role in heaven.
While their story is told in detail in 1 Enoch, we see parts of it in the rebellion at the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11. Deuteronomy 32:8 makes it clear that the seventy family groups of Genesis 10 were parceled out to the fallen “Sons of God.” They were to “Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute. Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.” (Psalm 82:3-4 NAS) But instead, these judges were unjust and showed favoritism to the wicked. (Verse 2 – Sounds like many district court judges.) YHWH pronounces the verdict in verse 7. They “will die like men.”
The Apostle Peter sums up the actions of the evil elohim after Jesus’ victory over death in 1 Peter 5:8. “The devil prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” By contrast, YHWH wishes only good for us (Matthew 7:11, Luke 11:13). And this is where the rubber meets the road.Those who are loyal to God are serving their Creator. Without service to a higher power, there is no psychological stability. Jordan Peterson’s Rule 7 points out that engaging in meaningful service aligns individuals with a higher moral order. Without such service, people become unmoored from reality.
This psychological drift turns into psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and gender dysphoria. Multiple studies (see full-text study here, note references) have shown that Democrats self-report higher levels of depression and, by implication, antidepressant use. “…[I]deology remains a strong predictor of mental health self-reports.” This conclusion comes after the authors diminish the difference between left and right by 40% to give the ;eft the benefit of every doubt.
Those who refuse to serve YHWH find themselves actively serving the fallen elohim, even if they don’t even know they exist. They release themselves to wild orgies of emotion at raves, parties, and “radical self-expression” events like Burning Man. But without a moral law in view, these approaches only lead to self-destruction. For example, the LGB-alphabet soup cadre is well known for high suicide rates, which only increase as “gender affirming care” is administered.
Unfortunately, self-destructive behavior only makes the psychiatric difficulties worse. Complete hopelessness accompanied by the sight of happy “normies” leads to desperation. At times, this extreme sense of failure plays out in a suicide-by-cop type of event, such as an “I’m going to hurt as many normies as I can” mass shooting. Or it’s when an evil person murders the one he and his ilk see as the source of their pain (e.g., murdering Charlie Kirk). Add to this the well-publicized hostile transformation of depression by SSRI antidepressants, and we have a perfect storm of evil. Fallen elohim have to be celebrating like Leftist commentators. Oh, wait. The commentators are celebrating like the fallen elohim that they serve.
“Evil,” in the simplest public sense, is service to fallen elohim. They operate to destroy, while YHWH creates and enhances. Every left-wing politician, commentator, and useful idiot is in open rebellion against YHWH, and thus in league with the fallen elohim. They ridicule the two divinely created genders. Christian values are belittled as repressive. Simply failing to bow to the evil ones is an “aggression.” Free speech that disagrees is “violence.”
Many are coming to realize that the Left has fully sold out to evil. The sequence is simple. Some of God’s celestial created beings rebelled. They were given a chance to straighten up and fly right, but instead subverted the humans they were tasked with protecting. YHWH declared their death sentence if they did not repent, but they doubled down. Huge numbers of gullible people have followed their lead, not recognizing that that choice is the source of their troubles.
Peace and fulfillment are good and come from serving YHWH, not the fallen gods. The war has now broken out into the open. The only real question is in the details, but the outcome is certain. As my wife’s license plate frame says, “I know the future. God wins.” Our allegiance will determine our ultimate fate.
I am well aware that many will find a “religious” post on this “political” site to be somewhat off the beaten path, but this is the nature of the war we find ourselves in. For more details, read Supernatural by Michael S. Heiser, PhD.
A Thumbnail History of America’s Decline
This brief account of America’s decline begins by pointing out that in this country, the rule of God once outweighed the rule of man. The mainstream of America regarded the Word of God as ultimately the best rule for all to follow. But in our day, a Supreme Court that sits in front of a wall displaying the Ten Commandments has ruled that the public display of the Ten Commandments is unlawful. This contradiction at the top of justice points to the reason for America’s decline.
Part of the history of America’s decline—conspicuously missing from mainstream and public school accounts—was the planning of a one-world government long before any of us were born. It would be a world where justice is no longer defined by the foundational Law of our Creator, as it had been since America’s inception and for centuries before then, but by the law of men empowered by wealth to control government, industry, and virtually everything else—men who would allow no one to stand in their way, not even God.
The world wars of the 20th century gave one-world advocates their excuse to declare war on our civilization and all who have stood and fought for justice rooted in human kindness, virtue, freedom, and adherence to a Moral Law above civil law. That transcendent law obstructs the aim of one-worlders to carry out their mission to change the world into a human habitat totally dependent upon a Godless global authority. It would be a world in which there would be no war and everyone would live contentedly in submission to dictatorial elites.
Outlines of what was coming began to appear in the 1960s when rebels driven by Marxist ideology regarding the world launched attacks, many of them bloody, against “the establishment” and our way of life. In the wake of that violence against America by domestic enemies, well-funded change agents started to infiltrate government, school, church and industry, and began to push America off its foundational moorings. The work of transforming America through the 1970s/80s/90s proceeded more readily as older folk retired or resigned from their positions and as a generation dumbed-down by Progressive Education in the public schools formed a mainstream influenced by amoral professionals in business, government, entertainment, news and publishing.
The unspoken aim of Marxist ideologues––mind and muscle of the Left––was to groom Americans for life in a world with no borders, no memory of their cultural past, no inkling of the freer, more wholesome nation they were losing.
The task of making America compatible with collectivism required a redefinition of justice in accordance with the leftist idea of “progress” and the demonizing of challengers and obstructers to the goal of global collectivism . For Americans in their right mind, any trashing of the foundational definitions of justice and of right and wrong could not be evidence of progress. Real Americans had to be made a minority. It is difficult to exaggerate the lengths taken by the Left to keep loyal Americans disenfranchised.
The transformation of America accelerated after 1990. The evidence of it is clear to all who have not been asleep, brainwashed, or distracted by mainstream information and entertainment industries from knowing what has actually been going on in this country. The facts bury the knee-jerk assertion that the degradation of America at the hands of the Left is “conspiracy theory.”
And so the America cherished since its inception is no more. All who have fought the ruination of this country since the Sixties have been hard-pressed to get their voices heard over the mainstream networks of information. The silence from the mainstream news media on the damage to this country from its domestic enemies has been deafening.
We must ask, where have the staunch supporters of justice in America been who once routinely and forcefully upheld the Moral Law? What happened to the churches, once a powerful moral voice in America? Where were the mainstream religious leaders, over the past several decades, when they were most needed to help stem the tide of destruction in this country?
Even the Catholic Church caved in after the 1962–1965 Second Vatican Council that liberalized it, against stern warnings from previous popes regarding the destructive consequences of “modernizing” the church and tampering with the original deposit of faith. Today, as predicted, the Catholic Church is a shadow of its former self, with a muted voice and a disordered spirit.The infiltration of non-Christian and contra-Christian beliefs and practices into church teachings, worship and music, turned what was once America’s moral bulwark against evil into a kind of “club for doing good.” And so “revised Christianity” has made possible the promotion of things that have always been held wrong for Christians, such as abortion, sexual perversion, murder-deemed-justified, and other sinful actions that have become “acceptable” on account of political correctness that doesn’t even recognize sin, virtually declared nonexistent by the church leaders themselves. And so anyone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ––which defines the Christian––faces the possibility of committing hate crimes for hating evil.
In my writings since the 1980s I have sounded the alarm against attacks on America’s culture and our way of life. Fighters of the Culture War have all met dead-ends of inaction and censorship. Some have lost jobs and reputations in the fight against the Left, whose power has risen since 1960. When Barack Obama walked into the White House in 2009, and when Hillary Clinton was about to follow him as president in 2016, it looked like the mission to hand America over to a global government was about to be fulfilled and the cancellation of America assured.
But Donald J. Trump stepped in and said, “Not so fast!” Though his foot was pushed off the brake by entrenched leftist bureaucrats who continued to ruin America during a deceitful Biden presidency, the American people sent Trump back in 2024 to continue the job of getting America back on its right track.

Democrats, Tell Your Perverted Allies to Stop Murdering People
There’s a famous clip of the late, great Andrew Breitbart confronting a crowd of leftist weirdos, losers, and mutations – but I repeat myself – and shouting “Stop raping people!” Leftists were, in fact, raping people, just as leftists are now, in fact, murdering people – specifically us conservatives. The biggest free speech atrocity in recent memory is not the sidelining of some late-night leftist hack who is as funny as an anal abscess; it's a leftist shooting Charlie Kirk. A Democrat ally killed him to shut him up, and thereby shut us up, and many Democrats cheered. That’s the point. That’s the narrative, and we have to remember it, highlight it, and never let anyone forget it.
Bloody public assassinations of civil rights leaders being a bad look – at least to normal people – Democrats are doing everything they can to obscure the fact that they and their pet psychopathic demons want us disarmed, disenfranchised, and/or dead. Even< the Fredocons who used to tut-tut at us when we pointed out the murderous fantasies and aspirations of these creeps – “Stop saying they want us dead, you big meanies.
That’s not who we are. Oh well, I never!” – have had to concede that yes, that is exactly what the left wants. Now we need to transmit this truth to normal people. And we need to make sure that the left does not somehow muddy the waters with their “What about muh conservatives!” crap.
We need to keep telling them to stop murdering people.
Stop murdering people, you sociopaths.
When they weren’t outright cheering Charlie’s murder, they were covering it up. Well, they can’t cover up the killing itself, but they can try to change the subject. Once the initial celebrations died down – another bad look – it’s been nothing but dissembling, distraction, and outright deceit since the gun smoke cleared. First, they tried to shift the blame. When their “Charlie was asking for it by speaking freely” flex fell flat, they decided to go with trying to pin it on Charlie’s own people. Who would kill a conservative icon? A conservative, of course, because reasons and you’re fascists.
Then, when it turned out the leftist killer was hooked up in a human centipede with some trans furry pervert, well, that clinched it, because nothing says “MAGA” like hooking up in a human centipede with some trans furry pervert. His own words and actions demonstrating his allegiance to the chosen ideology of the Democrat Party were, in fact, a clever ruse to throw us off the scent. And his admission that he killed Charlie Kirk because he was mad that Charlie Kirk refused to validate the forbidden – for good reason – love between he and She-Ra the Anime Anteater was incomprehensible. Why, who can really say what a direct confession of the act and his motivation really means? It’s obscure. You can’t really tell. Occam’s Razor is, of course, racist.
The criminal charges blew that whole charade out of the water like a Venezuelan fentanyl ferry – but not for everyone. There remain a bunch of leftists still giving the “He was ackshally right-wing” narrative a good, old-fashioned college try – that is, trying the commie agitation and propaganda tactics the practitioners learned in college. But most of Team Goebbels took the hint and pivoted to something new.
They became freshly minted free speech absolutists, though, in reality, the only thing absolute about them is their absolute shamelessness. These are the same lil’ stormtroopers who were gleefully cheering on the wholesale censorship of conservatives by the Biden administration and its corporate cronies. Kick the leader of the opposition party off social media? Yes, please! It was especially remarkable when they howled that the removal of Jimmy Kimmel was an unprecedented attack on free speech. I guess they forgot about what happened a week before, when one of their fellow travelers shot Charlie Kirk while and for speaking.
They saw their chance to grab the spotlight by canonizing St. Jimmy, the patron saint of hack insights and flop sweat. ABC’s rural affiliates decided their audience did not want to watch that late-night ratings black hole slime the dead and slander the living, and revolted. ABC was probably delighted to unload its dead-weight host. His viewership had shrunk smaller than Robert Reich after a cold swim; even without his obnoxious behavior, Kimmel would have lasted in that money pit of a gig about as long as a glazed doughnut in the vicinity of JB Pritzker. This crisis was an opportunity to punt that loser, and ABC took it.
The left ran with the opportunity to change the subject. Instantly, the memo went out.
ABC firing its failed stuporstar was the Alien and Sedition Acts times McCarthyism plus Al Gore’s ex-wife’s (Tipper was so uptight and uncool about those massages!) campaign against 2 Live Crew – suddenly, as far as the First Amendment went, the left was “Me love you long time.” (No, I am not linking it!)
Yes, the left suddenly rediscovered its love affair with the 1A right then and there, declaring their commitment to free speech in terms almost as cringe as the declarations of unnatural love in their ally the killer’s text chain to his furry with benefits. Why, how dare you fire a comedian for the crime of doing comedy? Well, apparently, a comedian not named Roseanne.
Of course, Jimmy Kimmel does not do comedy; he does political schtick to impotent boomers with nothing better to do in bed at 11:30 p.m. than watch political diatribes broken up by occasional animal acts, crank calls, and appearances from the geriatric cast pimping the 73rd season of Grey’s Anatomy. But that’s not the issue. The issue is that they want to find the best ground to defend in the wake of their freak friend’s despicable murder and the blowback from the ugly women, femmy dudes, and gender-indeterminate strange-os who could not keep their fat, pierced traps shut. Turns out normal people think it’s bad to cheer on a public assassination.
Well, we can’t let them change the narrative. Our narrative has the formidable advantage of being objectively true. It’s a simple narrative, the best kind.
Democrats need to tell their perverted allies to stop murdering people.
Ohio Dems Booted From 'Family-Friendly' County Fair for Shilling '86 47' Buttons, Other Hateful Merch
The Ashland County, Ohio, Democrat party booth was tossed out of the county fair Thursday for displaying hateful, bloodthirsty buttons and paraphernalia at an event that is supposed to be “family friendly.” This depravity of course comes on the heels of the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk on September 10.
How low can these people sink?
Look at these cutesy items they had for sale as families presumably strolled by enjoying corn dogs, carnival games, tractor pulls, “beef exhibitions,” and more:
Luckily, decent people noticed, and the fair organizers kicked these creeps the heck out of there.
The Ashland County Fair posted on Facebook around 8 p.m. on Thursday that it had been “made aware of offensive buttons in the Democrat booth.”
“We are a family friendly fair and do not condone this from any vendor/merchant. We apologize for those who saw the display. The democrat (sic) party has been asked to pack their booth up for this year so they not be here (for the remainder) of our fair week. This is not political, we just can’t have this at our county fair,” reads the post.
The merchandise offered was a thinly-veiled—if veiled at all—call to violence against the president of the United States, Donald Trump:
A Facebook user took a photo of the buttons. They depict a red hat with words such as “Fascist” and “Resist.” Smaller text reads “Is he dead yet?” and “One day, we will wake up to his obituary.”
Some of them also contained “8647,” a political code interpreted by some as a call to violence against President Trump.
"8647," meaning: “86”=murder, "47"=the 47th president, Trump. Where have we seen that before? Oh yeah, from former FBI Director James “St. Jim” Comey, a man who did more to politicize the system of justice in our country than virtually anyone else besides former Attorney General Merrick Garland.
This isn’t politics. This is deranged, bloodthirsty hatred.
And it’s being normalized by the Democratic Party.
The disturbing incident was enough to catch the attention of the local sheriff, Kurt Schneider, who said he would pass this information along to the U.S. Secret Service. “Violence shouldn’t be tolerated in any way, in any venue in any jurisdiction in the United States and it certainly won’t be tolerated here in Ashland County,” he told a local Fox station.
We saw so much grace, love, and patriotism at the memorial for Charlie Kirk Sunday. But as Vice President JD Vance said in his speech, "evil still walks among us." It’s displays like this that remind us that it’s very much still out there.
The Ashland County Ohio Democrat party revealed who they are with this display—bloodthirsty ministers of hate. They should never be allowed inside the fence line of a county fair again, much less anywhere else.
Suspect in NH Country Club Shooting ID'd, Charged With Murder
On Saturday night, a gunman reportedly opened fire at a New Hampshire country club, leaving one dead and several injured. Additional reports alleged that the shooter yelled "Free Palestine" during the attack.
The suspected shooter has now been identified, as has the 59-year-old man who was killed. New Hampshire authorities have charged 23-year-old Hunter Nadeau with second-degree murder. Additional charges are expected to be filed against Nadeau on Monday.
The police charged the suspect, 23-year-old Hunter Nadeau, with second-degree murder. He fatally shot Robert Steven DeCesare, 59, with a handgun, according to statement from New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella and Kevin Rourke, the Nashua police chief. There was no known connection between Mr. Nadeau and Mr. DeCesare, the police said.
Two other adults were also shot and wounded in the incident, which occurred at the Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, a city near the New Hampshire-Massachusetts border.
As indicated, at this time, there is no known connection between the suspect and the victim. The location of the attack, as Bonchie noted in his reporting, doesn't seem like the sort of place a shooter would just randomly wander into to carry out such an attack.
Sky Meadow Country Club is a private club with facilities that include a golf course, a restaurant, and a ballroom used for events like weddings, bar mitzvahs and corporate events, according to the club’s website.
Additional reports on witness accounts do seem to indicate this may have been a targeted attack, though it is obviously still quite early in the investigation.
The shooter who killed a man and wounded two other adults during a wedding at a New Hampshire country club on Saturday yelled "Free Palestine" as the chaos unfolded, a witness told The Associated Press.
Tom Bartelson of Pepperell, Massachusetts, told the outlet that he was at Sky Meadow Country Club in Nashua, New Hampshire, for his nephew’s wedding when he heard the individual say, "The children are safe," and, "Free Palestine." Bartelson added that the shooter appeared to be targeting someone.
"Getting together for a dance for the bride and groom and then all chaos went off," he said. "We heard about six shots and everybody ducked for cover and next thing you know we’re rushed into safe spots and things like that."

President Trump Asked if His Truth Social Post Was Critical of AG Pam Bondi
My analytical and historic opinion of Pam Bondi is well known {GO DEEP}. CTH previously faced anger and scorn from those who disagreed. However, from CTH long-term perspective, Bondi was/is a political animal lacking intellectual acumen and carrying outlooks subject to popular political perspectives. She was over her head from day one, but Susie Wiles liked her former colleague a lot.
As U.S. Attorney General, Bondi does not have the ability to independently strategize against the Lawfare system that has corrupted Main Justice and U.S. politics. That said, from the position of protecting President Trump from attacks, Bondi is effective, and thus criticism of her inabilities should be tempered.
Last night, President Trump posted on Truth Social that the clock was ticking, and no accountability has yet been delivered against those who weaponized government power structures against himself and the American people [SEE HERE]. Shortly thereafter, President Trump was asked about his criticisms of Bondi. WATCH:
President Trump’s social media post: “Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, “same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.” Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That’s why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we had no case. No, I fired him, and there is a GREAT CASE, and many lawyers, and legal pundits, say so. Lindsey Halligan is a really good lawyer, and likes you, a lot. We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!! President DJT“
One hour later, President Trump posted this:
As noted in the original post, “nothing is being done” because, well, nothing is being done.
Apparently, President Trump is receiving information from those in/around his orbit who are increasingly hearing the frustrated voices of his supporters. However, simultaneously the value of AG Pam Bondi lies in her primary skillset of keeping President Trump protected from political and lawfare attacks.
As previously noted by The Associated Press: […] Bondi worked as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners, the powerful Florida-based firm where Trump’s campaign chief and incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles was a partner. Her U.S. clients have included General Motors, the commissioner of Major League Baseball and a Christian anti-human-trafficking advocacy group.
As long as Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is safe and in solid position, Pam Bondi is safe and in solid position.
Susie Wiles is the filter that controls information that reaches President Trump. Susie Wiles controls the people, subjects, inputs and information who reach the Oval Office.
If President Trump is unaware of an issue, it’s entirely because Susie Wiles keeps that issue away from President Trump. If President Trump is advocating a specific position with strong determination, it’s because that position is very important to Susie Wiles. That’s the reality of the dynamic.
According to Susie Wiles she was “asked by a mutual friend” to travel to New York and meet with candidate Trump in “late December 2015.” That timeline would be post-Fox Debate (Megyn Kelly attempted hit – Aug ’15), when President Trump was leading every Republican primary poll and became the enemy of the professional Republican establishment.
That mutual friend was likely well-known lobbyist and friend of President Trump, Brian Ballard {GO DEEP}. Susie Wiles was a “partner” at Ballard Partners. Both Susie Wiles and Pam Bondi connect to President Trump personally and professionally through Brian Ballard.
2018 – “Ballard, like most of Florida’s Republican establishment, backed Jeb Bush in the primary, but when Trump called he offered to do what he could for his client. In September, as it became clear that Trump’s lead in the polls wasn’t going away, Ballard dispatched Wiles to New York to meet with Trump. Wiles was named the Trump campaign’s Florida co-chairwoman a few weeks later.” {SOURCE}
Susie Wiles was also the advocate behind Mike Waltz being selected as the first National Security Advisor. We said at the time of the announcement that NSA Waltz would fail and likely be the first to exit; he did and was.
For those critical of AG Pam Bondi’s performance, the issue doesn’t resolve until the issue of Susie Wiles is addressed. That’s a very long shot. Read the Ballard Partner contract carefully:
French President Emmanuel Macron Outlines Intention of Recognizing Palestinian State
Below is the full interview between CBS’s Margaret Brennan and French President Emmanuel Macron. A portion of this interview aired on “Face the Nation”, however this is the complete interview.
Yesterday the U.K, Canada and Australia, 3 of the Five-Eyes western intelligence networks, announced their recognition of a Palestinian state. France will announce the same today. Israel is now slightly more vulnerable and in a diminished position of support from the western allied nations. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is more dependent on support from the U.S. than ever before.
President Macron is also facing significant domestic opposition, and his prior appointed Prime Ministers have failed and been removed. The French economy is struggling, and Macron has deflected attention to the Ukraine war in an effort to avoid domestic accountability. With the Ukraine vs Russia conflict taking a lower profile, thanks in part to President Trump’s approach – demanding NATO/EU stop purchasing Russian energy products in order to gain U.S. support for increased sanctions, Macron now shifts attention to the Israel-Hamas war.
