Israel has changed the paradigm; the quaint but naive idea that there can be some sort of cold peace with terrorist organizations has fallen to "Events, My Dear Boy, Events," as Harold Macmillan put it.

The robust response to Hezbollah has sent a clear signal to its benefactors in Tehran, and that signal is: "We can find you too!"

Iran's supreme leader taken to secure location, sources say

Israel has finally taken one glove off, and the Arab-terrorist world is reeling. Hamas is on the run, and Hezbollah has lost a good portion of its command structure, including its head terrorist, in just a few weeks. No longer will Israel tolerate a terrorist army on its borders, and while the rumored ground operation has not yet occurred, There is a good chance that it will happen so that Israel's 60,000 displaced citizens can finally return home. It is unconscionable that any Western government supports anything other than this return to a peaceful Northern Israel, but the usual clamoring for "de-escalation" and "restraint" are spouting out from the usual suspects. Israel has ignored them, and hopefully will continue to act in its own interest until Hezbollah is driven out of Southern Lebanon.

The sad thing is that it is the world and the United Nations that has allowed the destruction of what once was a vibrant country. Lebanon deserves better.

647K Noncitizens Convicted Or Suspected Of Homicide, Other Crimes Are Not In ICE Custody

That is an incredible number, and an explosion of crime is here, although under-reported for odd reasons. Like overwhelming support of the Democrat junta among our media! But crime will just get worse as these dregs from prisons across the world become entrenched in our cities and towns. Look for South American style gangs, complete with road blocks and highway murders and wholesale open criminality in their backyards.

And maybe America will finally fight. The 2nd Amendment is designed to allow us to fight tyranny, and how else does one describe what is coming?

Mother Jones Editor Makes a Fool of Herself

Sadly, her attitude toward American's religion is shared by far too many blue-state denizens. They look down upon the heartland exactly because of its traditional religion, and their smug and condescending attitudes emerge with every word.

That's one of the reasons why Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II were such great men...they freed five hundred million people from the slavery of communism.

Is the default of the human condition the desire for security over freedom? I think we will be finding out the answer to that question in the next fifty years.
