One of the most extraordinary displays of Jewish power in the United States took place in the State Department press briefing room on April 11^th though it went virtually unreported in the mainstream media. It involved the introduction to the media of Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Elan S. Carr, who had been sworn in earlier that day by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Carr, who will “lead United States policies and projects aimed at countering anti-Semitism throughout the world,” is a former Los Angeles prosecutor, who is, of course, Jewish, and ran for Congress in 2014 declaring that he was a “reliable vote for Israel.” He believes U.S. support for Israel should be “constant, unequivocal and bipartisan.” Carr speaks Hebrew, boasts about his visits to Israel every year and is a protege of GOP casino magnate and mega-donor Sheldon Adelson.  Continue reading “Combatting Anti-Semitism: Washington Goes to War for World Jewry”

Parents with children who have ADHD have my sympathy.  Therapy takes a long time and doesn’t always work.  It’s also not cheap.  Dietary changes aren’t easy to implement.  Drugs don’t always work and they aren’t necessarily cheap either.  Drugs can also have horrible side effects.  So there’s a new treatment that the FDA recently approved for kids ages 7-12 with ADHD:  an electrical pulse patch to wear on their foreheads while they sleep.  Continue reading “FDA Approves Low-Level Electrical Pulse Forehead Patch to Be Worn by Children Ages 7-12 with ADHD While They Are Sleeping”

Australia -(Ammoland.com)- The most famous firearms manufacturer in Australia is the Lithgow Small Arms Factory. On the grounds of the existing factory site is the Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum. The Museum is independently owned and operated, primarily by volunteers, as an independent trust on behalf of the City of Lithgow. Just a few weeks ago, the museum learned that 70 percent of its collection is at risk of being destroyed because of a thoughtless change in firearms law passed in 2017, specifically aimed at museums. Museums were not contacted about the change in the law. They had no input about it. From lithgowsafmuseum.org.au:  Continue reading “Australian Museums’ Guns face Destruction”

Continuing his call to musicians to boycott an upcoming international song competition, rock legend Roger Waters on Wednesday urged Madonna not to perform at a Tel Aviv contest.

The venue at issue is the Eurovision Song Contest, which takes place mid-May. Madonna’s press team confirmed this month that she’d be performing. But in so doing, according to Waters, Madonna would be ignoring the Israeli occupation’s deprivation of Palestinians’ human rights.  Continue reading “Roger Waters to Madonna: Don’t Normalize Violations of Palestinians’ Rights With Performance in Tel Aviv”
