Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv Saturday night to protest the US Middle East peace proposal and government plans to annex territory in the West Bank.

Organizers from the Peace Now anti-settlement group said thousands marched in the demonstration at Tel Aviv's Dizengoff Square, held under the banner of "Peace plan, not annexation deal."

"Annexation is a disaster, no peace, no security," protesters chanted, while holding up signs decrying Israel's 52-year occupation of the West Bank and against "transfer," referring to a part of the plan that opens up the possibility of drawing the border of a future Palestinian state to include several Arab-Israeli towns.

This week, the US marked yet another 'cultural milestone' as cross-dressing males were featured in an advert during Super Bowl LIV. Why are companies pandering to radical liberal agendas that risk alienating their consumer base?

This week I stumbled headlong into one of those jarring headlines, courtesy of The Washington Post, that was impossible to walk away from without medical attention: 'Drag queens will make Super Bowl history in a hummus commercial.' It's these sorts of stories that make me remember exactly how long I've been away from home.

In the article, we are introduced to Sang-Young Shin — better known as Kim Chi in the world of drag — and Maxwell Heller, aka Miz Cracker, two regular attractions on RuPaul's Drag Race television show. Now the two queens are about to be propelled to All-Star celebrity status as the Super Bowl spokespersons for some hummus brand that I will not advertise here.

Judicial Watch sounded the alarm on potential voter fraud on Monday ahead the Iowa caucuses. Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch on Monday announced that eight Iowa counties have more voter registrations than eligible voters.

There are at least 18,658 extra names on the voter rolls in Iowa, Judicial Watch reported. The watchdog group also reported that Polk County has an unusually high rate of 95.9% of total eligible voters registered.

Via Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch announced that eight Iowa counties have more voter registrations than their eligible voting-age population. According to Judicial Watch's analysis of data released by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) in 2019 and the most recent U.S. Census Bureau's five-year American Community Survey, eight Iowa counties are on the list of 378 counties nationwide that have more voter registrations than citizens living there who are old enough to vote, i.e., counties where registration rates exceed 100%. These 378 counties combined had about 2.5 million registrations over the 100%-registered mark. In Iowa, there are at least 18,658 "extra names" on the voting rolls in the eight counties at issue.

The chart below details the eight Iowa counties' registration rate percentages:

Reg Rate Total Population
Dallas County 114.8 80,864
Johnson County 107.9 114,425
Lyon County 102.5 11,475
Madison County 102.5 15,720
Poweshiek County 102.1 18,428
Dickinson County 100.9 17,000
Scott County 100.8 171,493
Warren County 100.5 48,630


Comment: Iowa's example brings into question the viability of voter rolls in 49 other states. Will it come down to micro-policing the system and where does that end?

The radio icon then told his audience that his job has provided him with the "greatness satisfaction and happiness" of his life.

China is testing Russia's anti-viral drug to treat coronavirus amidst warnings of 'mass outbreak'

While health chiefs prepare for a potential pandemic, China is testing a Russian anti-viral drug in the hope that it might help control the new coronavirus. It comes as prospects of a vaccine look slim for the foreseeable future.

Triazavirin, developed at Yekaterinburg's Ural Federal University, was originally developed to combat 'Bird Flu' (H5N1), and, given that there are some similarities between the two infections, researchers feel it's worth a punt. The medicine is already known to be effective against 15 types of flu.

Russia's Deputy Health Minister Sergei Kraevoi confirmed the news on Tuesday. He also revealed that the Chinese still haven't shared samples required for a vaccine with foreign researchers, adding that without these it's impossible to start looking for a remedy.

"It takes literally several months, from two to five (to conduct preclinical studies)," Kraevoi said. "To do this, you need a live native virus. Unfortunately, at the moment we don't have this very important living virus," he explained.

He's back: Hardcore jihadist resurfaces in France via EU-paid student exchange program

A man who represented one of the most brutal jihadist groups in Syria has been arrested in France. Bizarrely enough, the suspected war criminal apparently freely enjoyed the benefits of the EU student exchange program.

Last week, several human rights groups celebrated the arrest of a man named Majdi Mustafa Nameh, a humble 30-something student. He is better known under his nom-de-guerre, Islam Alloush, which he used while serving as the spokesman for the jihadist group Jaysh al-Islam. He resigned in August 2016, after giving an interview to an Israeli researcher.

Following his arrest in Marsaille, the man was charged with "war crimes" and "complicity in enforced disappearances."
Alloush was personally involved in kidnappings, torture and forced enlistment of children into the fighting ranks of the militant group, say the three NGO's who helped track him down and arrest.

Woman, 68, repeatedly tased husband, 73, after he asked for separation

Pamela Carr
Pamela Carr's husband delivered some stunning news Sunday morning: He wanted a separation after nine years of marriage. The 68-year-old Carr's response was equally shocking: She pulled out a taser and repeatedly zapped her 73-year-old spouse, Florida cops allege.

As the couple argued over the separation, Carr "pulled out a taser and drive stunned him several times," according to a criminal complaint charging Carr with aggravated domestic battery, a felony. The court filing does not indicate whether Carr's husband was injured as a result of the tasing in the couple's Clearwater home. Carr, police say, admitted to tasing her husband, but "claims it was in self defense."

Seen right, Carr was released from the county jail Sunday night after posting $1000 bond. A judge has ordered Carr to have no contact with the victim and has barred her from possessing firearms and ammunition. Carr will be allowed a one-time visit--in the presence of a law enforcement officer--to retrieve her belongings from the couple's residence in the Serendipity mobile home community.

A 19-year old serviceman was named a suspect in the attack on a gendarmerie station in France, which took place after police received a threat of a massacre in the name of Islamic State.

The suspect was "a young soldier who was completing his two months of initial training and was on probation," Defense Minister Florence Parly confirmed on Tuesday. She added that the man was not on duty during the attack.

The prosecutor in the northeastern city of Metz, Christian Mercuri, told reporters that the 19-year-old alleged culprit joined the army in early December.
