Israel kept up attacks on Gaza on Tuesday, killing three Palestinians and hitting over 70 targets, including five mosques, a sports stadium and the home of the deceased Hamas military chief.

The latest casualties in the fortnight-long violence have brought the Palestinian death toll to 570, according to AP. Almost 100 of them are children and many others are civilians.

Additionally, nearly 500 homes have been destroyed in the Israeli bombardments and 100,000 people have been displaced, said Jens Laerke, spokesman of the UN Office for Humanitarian Assistance (OCHA) at a Geneva news briefing.   Continue reading “600 deaths in Israeli Gaza op: Military hits mosques, stadium, homes, hospital”

The two Americans killed in fighting in the Gaza Strip followed in the footsteps of scores of Jews from around the world who have volunteered to fight for Israel.

Israel calls them the lone soldiers: They are men and women in the prime of their lives who have left their parents and often comfortable lives behind in places like Sydney, London, Los Angeles and elsewhere to join the Israel Defense Forces, marching in the desert and taking up arms to defend the Jewish state.   Continue reading “American Jews, other ‘lone soldiers’ serve Israel”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A man who says he is the father of two of three teens charged with fatally beating two homeless men says that they too were once homeless, and he has no idea what prompted the brutal Friday night attack that police say left the victims unrecognizable.

After their arrest, the 15-year-old told police that the trio had been targeting homeless people for the past year, according to a criminal complaint. He said they had attacked about 50 people over the last few months, but had never gone that far, according to the criminal complaint.   Continue reading “Dad: Boys charged in homeless deaths once homeless”

The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that ObamaCare subsidies issued through the federal exchanges are legal, contradicting a separate ruling by the D.C. Circuit Court on the same day.

Fourth Circuit Judge Roger Gregory argued that because the statutory language of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is ambiguous, courts should defer to the interpretation of the Internal Revenue Service and allow the subsides to stand.  Continue reading “Second court disagrees, upholds subsidies for ObamaCare”

While the Fascist Western nations continue to wage war, the Communist BRIC nations are quietly engaging in their own economic and financial world, free of the U.S. dollar and Western influence. During this time, not one of these BRIC countries has been actually under any physical attack. Even though they have been threatened, they have more or less been fenced off, yet at the same time, protected by the West. In addition to that, South America led by Brazil, for some reason, still has not been met with the same hostility from Western powers as the other BRIC countries. But it seems that with the current events happening now, just after the illegal immigrant invasion, South America is slowly coming in to play.   Continue reading “A Review of the Global Chessboard”

On Saturday, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) said President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was a “down payment” to the Hispanic community before more grants of amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Speaking at the National Council of La Raza conference in Los Angeles, Gutierrez said that Obama assured him during a White House meeting with Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus last week that he would be as “generous and broad” as he can to “stop the deportation of our people each and every day.”    Continue reading “Luis Gutierrez to La Raza: Obama Assured Steps to ‘Stop the Deportation of our People’”

A year after then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg vowed to “destroy” the yellow-cab industry, his allies and surrogates are pouring energy and cash into ride-sharing ventures fiercely opposed by New York’s hacks and medallion owners.

Lyft — the ride-share startup known for its “suggested donations” and giant pink moustaches affixed to the grills of its cars — got a cool $60 million last year from Andreessen Horowitz LLC, a venture capital firm that counts Bloomberg LP as a key investor. Bloom­berg LP poured “tens of millions” into Andreessen, a source said.   Continue reading “Bloomberg, allies pouring money into Lyft and Uber”

This is rich!

The poor will use a separate door under plans for a new Upper West Side luxury tower — where affordable housing will be segregated from ritzy waterfront condos despite being in the same building.

Manhattan developer Extell is seeking millions in air rights and tax breaks for building 55 low-income units at 40 Riverside Boulevard, but the company is sequestering the cash-poor tenants who make the lucrative incentives possible.   Continue reading “Upper West Side condo has separate entrances for rich and poor”

A federal appears court on Tuesday struck down one of the pillars of ObamaCare, ruling that the law’s premium subsidies are invalid in more than two-dozen states.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a 2-1 decision that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) does not permit the IRS to distribute premium subsidies in the federal ObamaCare exchange, meaning those consumers must bear the full cost of their insurance.   Continue reading “Federal appeals court strikes blow against ObamaCare subsidies”
