So after at least a few years of this LGBT-pandering insanity, Biden and Harris, a few weeks before their administration ends, have withdrawn a terrible proposal:

The Biden-Harris administration on Friday officially withdrew a proposed Title IX rule that would have forced all publicly-funded schools to largely allow males to participate in female sports if the athletes “identify” as female.

The administration admitted that the decision to withdraw was because of public backlash, and the numerous lawsuits that were sparked from the gender rule-change.

“In light of the comments received and those various pending court cases, the Department has determined not to regulate on this issue at this time,” Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a five-page docket published Friday.

According to Cardona, the Department of Education received more than 150,000 public comments about the proposal, National Review noted. “Commenters offered a broad spectrum of opinions,” the docket said, adding, “there are multiple pending lawsuits related to the application of Title IX in the context of gender identity.”

I suppose the reason for this was mostly because the Democrats lost the recent election, and Donald Trump was reelected POTUS. Whatever, it's very fortunate this type of insanity has been abandoned, because even without it, more than enough damage was already done to women's rights and status as it is. A lot of damage that'll take whole epochs to repair.

Terrence Jeffrey points out that Christians dwelling in Syria are becoming some of the biggest victims of the new Islamofascist regime that's now imposing worse sharia than Bashar Assad did. A most terrible incident even before that from over a decade ago was the following:

A story that ran on Sept. 6, 2013, in the London Daily Telegraph carried this headline: “Village that speaks the language of Christ taken by al-Qaeda.”

“The inhabitants are mostly Melkite Greek Catholic and Orthodox Christians, who have historically lived peacefully alongside Sunni Muslims,” reported the Telegraph. “It is one of only three places in the world where Western Aramaic, a dialect of the language spoken by Christ, is still used.”

“‘They entered the main square and smashed a statue of the Virgin Mary,’ said one resident, speaking by phone and too frightened to give his name,” the Telegraph reported.

Maaloula, the Associated Press said, is “famous for two of the oldest surviving monasteries in Syria – Mar Sarkis and Mar Takla.”

“The stones are shaking,” a nun at the Mar Takla monastery told the Associated Press. “We don’t know if the rebels have left or not, nobody dares go out.” But then they had no choice but to go out.

In a report published by the Telegraph on Sept. 9, 2013, one of the nuns in Maaloula blamed the Syrian army for not saving them from the attack.

“Our army, the Syrian army, has failed us,” she said, according to the Telegraph. “We called the army, we begged them to come inside Maaloula and save us but they stayed outside. They abandoned us because we are Christians.”

That December, the nuns from this convent were kidnapped.

“Opposition fighters abducted 12 nuns from a Christian village overrun by rebels, Syria’s Greek Orthodox patriarch and the head of a convent said Tuesday, adding to fears that hardline Muslim rebels trying to overthrow President Bashar Assad were increasingly targeting Christians,” the Associated Press reported on Dec. 4, 2013.

“The nuns and three other women were seized Monday from the Greek Orthodox Mar Takla convent in the village of Maaloula,” the report said.

In March 2014, a deal was struck to free these nuns.

“They were freed as part of a prisoner exchange involving some 150 women and children held by the Syrian government,” the BBC reported on March 10, 2014.

There was speculation that a ransom had also been paid to their kidnappers. “Two rebel leaders from Yabroud claimed Qatar had offered to pay $4m for the nuns’ release, but that the al-Nusra Front had demanded $50m and the release of detained women and children,” BBC reported. “Syrian state media reports did not mention any swap or payment.”

Syria retook Maaloula a month later — with the help of Hezbollah terrorists.

“Syrian soldiers backed by Hezbollah fighters recaptured the town of Maaloula,” Reuters reported on April 14, 2014.

Now, a decade later, after Assad was brought down, such horrific sharia poses an even worse threat. It's to be hoped Israel will address this situation, as it has the case of Druze communities on the Syrian side of the border who'd like to merge with Israel. And Shmuel Katz has said Israel should stand with those seeking stability, which must also include Europe. Until then, it must also be wondered if USA Christian movements will address this issue, because, let's recall what Front Page writers noted about certain councils of bishops in the USA being ready and willing to kowtow to the Religion of Peace if the film about Betty Mahmoody were made today.

And the accusation that Christians were abandoned by Syria's army are valid. That's how it otherwise is when those who allow the Religion of Peace to dominate are in charge.

Canada's authorities continue failing to keep the environment safe for Jews or anybody else (via Breitbart):

Prayer services at Congregation Beth Tikvah were held outdoors Wednesday morning, as the synagogue entrance was taped off after a crude firebomb was thrown through a window overnight.

It’s the second time the building has been attacked in 14 months. The synagogue was the target of a Molotov cocktail in November 2023, one month before Hanukkah. Wednesday’s attack took place one week before the Jewish holiday.[...]

During an inspection at 7:20 a.m., police discovered two windows were smashed in the Federation CJA building [housing local Jewish institutions] across the street. No incendiary objects were found at that location.

Justin Trudeau's condemnations are not enough, and this only marks another example of one of his many failures to protect any innocents in Canada.

An investigation by Le Figaro reveals Le Monde, a newspaper which may practically be owned by political sources in France, has a very horrific level of antisemitism going on in their ranks:

In an unprecedented exposé, Le Figaro has published damaging revelations about antisemitic content and Hamas support within Le Monde's newsroom, one of France's largest and most influential newspapers.

In a lengthy and pointed investigation, Le Figaro, the center-right competitor, took the unusual step of revealing internal details from Le Monde's newsroom, including photographs showing content that staff members are exposed to, reflecting what it describes as political activism promoting an anti-Israel agenda.

In one corner of the new editorial office near the Austerlitz station in central Paris, employees have created a large wall of propaganda pieces and illustrations focused solely on the war in Gaza, rather than French politics or global issues like climate change. The wall, dubbed the "Gaza Wall," features cartoons with accusations of genocide in Gaza and lists of alleged massacres that Israel or Jews supposedly committed before the state's establishment.

There may be some employees at Le Monde who find this chilling, but they're scared to speak publicly about it. This is no shock, but it does make clear anybody in France who understands how this not only causes serious harm, but also takes away attention from the more serious issues of Islamofascism destroying France, has got to stop paying money for such a bottom of the barrel newspaper. And advertising should be withdrawn from their pages too. There's got to be quite a few far-left newspapers and such in France worth boycotting now, and the time's come to do so.

Over the past 3 decades, a lot of abortion clinics in the USA closed, but it's not necessarily for the right reasons (via Daily Signal):

More than two out of every three abortion facilities in the United States have closed their doors since 1990 — but abortion still represents “a dark, bloody, hopeless stain on humanity,” according to a new report released on Tuesday.

A total of 667 abortion facilities are currently doing business in the United States, according to Operation Rescue’s 2024 annual survey of abortion facilities, three fewer than last year. That represents a sharp decrease from 706 in 2020 and a whopping 69% lower than the 2,176 U.S. abortion facilities operating in 1990, according to the report, which tracks the ebbs and flows of the U.S. abortion industry.

“There is no doubt that abortion facilities are struggling to survive in this post-Roe environment,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “As we conduct our extensive investigations, we continue to see evidence that abortion clinics are facing challenges hiring and keeping abortionists.”

As of the publication date, 29 abortion facilities had closed down or stopped committing abortions in 2024, and another 20 ceased seeing abortion-minded women in person, often choosing to distribute abortion pills. At the same time, 46 facilities opened or resumed carrying out abortions. Overall, the number of in-person abortion facilities decreased, from 670 to 667: 377 surgical abortion facilities and 290 that carry out chemical abortions alone.

But if you look at this through modern lens, is this happening for the right reasons?

Explanations for the falling number of abortions vary. Young people today report having less sex than their parents. Researchers have documented “decreases in all modes of partnered sex” between 2009 and 2018. Additional studies trace the decline to at least 1989.

Well this is obviously very bad. And making matters worse:

The report also documents the abortion industry’s increasing trend of stepping deeply into the transgender industry. “A significant number of independent abortion clinics are offering gender-subversion drugs, and most Planned Parenthood affiliates are capitalizing on this lucrative, population-reducing initiative,” notes Operation Rescue.

“An abortionist might spend an hour killing several innocent babies then spend another hour forever sterilizing vulnerable young people,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “These facilities are a dark, bloody, hopeless stain on humanity.”

This has got to be even more horrific. To be sure, universities have a lot of responsibility here, and that's one more reason why it'd be best to defund them after the whole debacle they're causing, along with Planned Parenthood.

Because of the horrific antisemitism in Ireland, the Israeli embassy will be shuttered:

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar ordered the closure of Israel's embassy in Ireland today, marking a significant downturn in bilateral relations while announcing plans to establish a new diplomatic presence in Moldova.

The decision to shutter the Dublin mission comes in response to what Sa'ar characterized as the Irish government's "extreme anti-Israel policies." The diplomatic relationship had already been strained after Ireland's unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, which prompted Israel to recall its ambassador. Tensions escalated further last week when Ireland announced it would join South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, which accuses Israel of genocide.

"Ireland's antisemitic actions and rhetoric against Israel are rooted in delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state and reflect clear double standards," Sa'ar said. "Ireland has crossed all red lines in its treatment of Israel. We will redirect our resources toward advancing bilateral relations with countries based on priorities that reflect how different nations relate to Israel."

In contrast, Israel's relationship with Moldova is warm and cooperative, with both countries eager to deepen their diplomatic ties. Moldova already maintains an embassy in Israel, and Sa'ar informed Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Popșoi of his decision to establish an Israeli embassy in Chișinău, planned for early 2025. The foreign minister has directed his ministry's director general to secure appropriate premises and initiate the process of appointing an ambassador.

The Irish government's representatives show no sign so far of remorse for their offensive conduct:

Ireland’s Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Simon Harris reacted, “This is a deeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government. I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law.”

Despite Harris’ protestations that Ireland’s government is not anti-Israel, the evidence suggests otherwise.

In February 2024, then-Taoiseach Leo Varadkar denounced a possible Israeli operation into the Hamas stronghold in Rafah, saying it would be a “gross violation of international law on top of all the other violations of international law which Israel is responsible for.” He continued by ripping Israel for not bowing to the wishes of outsiders, saying, “It’s very, very clear to me though, that Israel is not listening to any country in the world, I don’t even think they’re listening to the Americans anymore. They have become blinded by rage.”

In May 2024, only days after Harris declared, “I abhor the actions of the Netanyahu government regarding what is happening in the Middle East,” Ireland officially recognized a “Palestinian state.” Harris stated, “The government recognizes Palestine as a sovereign and independent state and agreed to establish full diplomatic relations between Dublin and Ramallah. We had wanted to recognize Palestine at the end of a peace process. However, we have made this move alongside Spain and Norway to keep the miracle of peace alive.”

On November 7, the Irish parliament passed a non-binding motion attacking Israel, stating, “genocide is being perpetrated before our eyes by Israel in Gaza.”

Last week, Ireland joined South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Looking into the past, in 1996, Ireland finally permitted an Israeli embassy in its country; it was the last country in the European Union to open an Israeli embassy in its own country.

As far back as 1945, within days of Adolf Hitler’s suicide on April 30, 1945, Ireland’s Taoiseach Éamon de Valera called on Eduard Hempel, the Nazi minister to Ireland, to express his condolences.” He said, “I certainly was not going to add to his [Hempel’s] humiliation in the hour of defeat.”

This is some of the most embarrassing and repulsive problems with Ireland for decades already. Making matters worse is how the Irish government allows Islamofascists to effectively destroy the country and its safety, and any citizens who supposedly oppose the Religion of Peace's destruction of the island yet consider hostility to Israel acceptable aren't helping matters. Closing the embassy there can save a lot of valuable money, which the relations with Moldova will hopefully be worth investing in.

One good form of news from Down Under:

An Australian politician will pay big for defaming a lawmaker who rejects transgender radicalism as a “Nazi.” A judge ruled Thursday that Victorian Liberal Party leader John Pesutto must pay $300,000 to MP Moira Deeming — but his economic damage will be far more extensive.

Deeming won election to the Victorian Legislative Council as a member of the Liberal Party (which, in Australia, is the more conservative party as compared to the Labour Party). Her first speech in parliament showed her dedication to parental rights, women’s privacy, and protecting children from the transgender movement. In March 2023, she took part in a “Let Women Speak” rally in Melbourne, featuring former actress Posie Parker (Kellie-Jay Keen).

That rally was gatecrashed by a group of neo-Nazis — much the way conservative events have been raided by the shadowy, little-known group calling itself The Patriot Front. The Lincoln Project has also sent paid actors cosplaying neo-Nazis to crash an event hosted by Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R).

Pesutto seized on the event to accuse Deeming of “associating with” and offering “help” to Nazis and moved to expel her from the Liberal Party. The Sydney Morning Herald reports Pesutto was “fuelled by a ‘preoccupation’ with the political advantage the then premier, Daniel Andrews, would extract from the episode.” He began a media campaign to drum Deeming out of the party that became so effective that, at one point, Deeming’s young children began saying, “My mum’s a Nazi.” This May, Deeming’s fellow Liberal Party legislators voted 19-11 to expel her from the Liberal Party; she now serves as an independent MP and sits on the crossbench.

Federal Court Justice David O’Callaghan ruled that Pesutto had committed defamation by “using mass media to communicate a message to the general public in Victoria, to cause serious harm to Mrs. Deeming’s reputation. That is especially so in circumstances where the leader of her own Parliamentary party was moving for her expulsion from it.”

A source “close to the case” told The Herald Sun that Pesutto turned down an offer to settle for $99,000, only to lose a ruling three times that much. With legal fees, the source said, Pesutto faces $2 million over his “Nazi” remarks.

“I am just so delighted with today’s result, and I am very grateful to the court for their prompt consideration. I just want to say thank you to everybody who stood by me and we’re just going to get out there and continue to get back sex-based rights for women and child safeguards for children,” said Deming after the ruling.

Pesutto has refused to resign his leadership post over his self-inflicted humiliation. Liberal Party legislators are currently weighing how to proceed.

It is welcome news that no one — not even a prominent provincial party leader — can slur pro-family politicians with impunity.

Whiie this is impressive news, it's still a shame that Australia still suffers from severe antisemitism, which is equally dangerous, and has allowed violent Islamofascists and their sympathisers to run roughshod and attack Jewish sources. Some of said sympathisers include LGBT activists, sadly. And the Labour party is going to have to answer to stuff like that too, as is the local press.

Mark Tapson looks at the disturbing but perhaps unsurprising case of leftists who celebrated the murder of a CEO of a business:

Like practically everyone in the country, I have no love for the massive American healthcare bureaucracy or for a medical profession that was exposed by the COVID pandemic as being riddled from top to bottom with greedy liars. I would wager that most Americans have either personally experienced medical malpractice/indifference or know someone who has; outrageous tales of systemic heartlessness abound. The collapse of trust in our healthcare system over the last several years, like the collapse of our trust in the news media, has been well-deserved. So yes, people are right to be fed up and to expect better. But does it really need to be said that targeting healthcare industry executives for assassination is not only not the solution, but is also morally wrong?

Apparently it does need to be said, because the widespread, open celebration over the recent murder of one such CEO and the surge of popular support for the suspect are very disturbing. They are reminiscent of the ghoulish celebration over the October 7, 2023 massacre of Israelis, perceived as genocidal occupiers, and the defense of the Hamas subhumans who perpetrated it (“You don’t get to choose how we resist,” was the cruel slogan declared by those who sought to justify the terror group’s war crimes).

United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was murdered last Wednesday at 6:46 a.m. outside the Midtown Hilton Hotel in New York City by a hoodied gunman. Surveillance video shows the assassin slipping up behind the oblivious Thompson, aiming a silenced pistol a few feet from his back, and firing three times.

The response from many media talking heads and social media accounts was swift and shockingly exultant. The gist of it all was that Thompson, as the chief honcho of an insurance company perceived to be responsible for tens of thousands of patient deaths from the callous denial of treatment coverage, deserved an equally callous extrajudicial execution. For example, former Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz (who admittedly is unhinged), told Piers Morgan that she felt “joy” over Thompson’s murder. Another example: a Columbia professor self-described as “anti-violence” and “Commie” tweeted his disdain for “multimillionaires” like Thompson and highlighted the deaths of Americans for whom Thompson was supposedly responsible. Predictable comparisons of the CEO to Hitler and other Nazi monsters littered the internet.

The United Healthcare exec left behind a wife and two children, but that elicited no sympathy from the assassin’s defenders. “Fuck his family too,” tweeted Mike Figueredo, self-described on social media as “Host of The Humanist Report, co-host of The Leftist Mafia” to his nearly 122,000 followers.

So despite there likely being no solid evidence to prove the insurance company had any responsibility, something hospitals were more likely to have, the monsters spoken about engaged in their repulsive behavior anyway. Interesting analogy made about the leftist responses to October 7, 2023, since it further proves what lack of love for life these ideologues actually have. What this current case suggests is that there's leftists out there looking for cheap excuses to claim they're against abuse of the medical industry, which unfortunately is phony. And now, they once again throw away morality for the sake of perversions.

Geert Wilders visited Israel's Knesset this week, and warns what could be the fate of the globe if Israel falls to Islam:

Speaker of the Knesset Amir Ohana awarded the Jabotinsky Prize for Liberty to Dutch MP Geert Wilders this week as the Party for Freedom (PVV) leader toured Israel, where he held diplomatic meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, and members of the Israeli cabinet.

“This award is a fitting tribute to a man who, for so long, embodied Jabotinsky’s courage and conviction. He has confronted the lies propagated by institutions like the ICC [International Criminal Court], which distort justice and reward terror. In America, we are seeing President Trump assemble a dream team. Geert brings that same optimism to Europe, where it is needed even more,” Speaker Ohana said of the main power behind the government of The Netherlands.

Wilders, a leading critic of radical Islam, has long been a staunch supporter of the Jewish state, having volunteered for a year in the West Bank during his youth. During his diplomatic mission to the country this week, Wilders continued to advocate for Israel’s rightful control of the West Bank, describing the Jordan Valley settlements in Judea and Samaria as Israel’s “bulletproof vest” without which it would cease to exist as a country.

Upon receiving the award from the Knesset, Wilders said: “This is not the time to be silent, but to stand up and support Israel. After the October 7, 2023 massacre, where 1,200 innocent Jewish lives were lost, the world was shocked, but as so often, unfortunately, only for a short time, after which too many countries, politicians and institutions like the UN and the ICC started bashing Israel for rightfully defending itself and its people against an existential threat.”

Wilders said that his mission to Israel was intended to show his “full and never-ending support” against the “evil powers” of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The PVV leader lamented that alongside the hatred of Jews by radical Islamists, the anti-Israel sentiment is being driven by the “self-hatred of woke Westerners who no longer believe in fighting for the truth.”

The Dutch populist reiterated his warning that should Israel fall in its battle, the “West will be next” and therefore wished to demonstrate by his journey to Israel that there are still “political leaders in Europe that are not afraid to come here and say out loud, here and in Europe, very clear, that we will never, ever abandon you and we’ll be always at your side.”

With or without Donald Trump, however, the battle against the Religion of Peace must continue, and it's good Wilders is a realist. And since the Netherlands is a subject here, there's also news about a Muslim woman sentenced to a decade in prison for enslaving a Yazidi woman (via Jihad Watch):

A Dutch court Wednesday sentenced a woman to 10 years in prison for keeping a woman from the Yazidi minority as a slave after joining the Islamic State group in Syria.

The court in The Hague convicted the 33-year-old from Hengelo in eastern Netherlands, identified as Hasna A, for “enslavement, membership of a terrorist organization, promoting terrorist crimes, and endangering her young son.”

She traveled to Syria in 2015 with her son, aged four at the time, the court said. She married an IS fighter and had children with him.

Between May to October 2015, she lived with another IS fighter, who kept a Yazidi woman as a slave.

Hasna A. made the Yazidi woman do household chores for her and look after her son, the court ruled. [...]

According to public broadcaster NOS, Hasna A was repatriated in November 2022 to the Netherlands from a Syrian prison camp with 11 other Dutch women and their 28 children.

After she's out of prison, they'd do well to exile her altogether, and if she needs to be banished to Syria again, so be it. There's plenty of other jihadists in Europe who could be sent to a hellhole like that, among several other Muslim areas. And all that aside, Israelis shouldn't hesitate to voice their support and defense of any Europeans who're realists.
