Who’s America First?
The pro-Israel wing of the Republican Party is in complete meltdown as more and more conservatives side with America-first voices like Tucker Carlson and Steven Bannon, who recognize we need to part ways with Israel. On Nov. 1, stridently pro-Israel commentator Mark Levin told the Republican Jewish Coalition’s summit in Las Vegas that politicians who won’t condemn Carlson and others like him “need to be afraid of us.” The problem for Israel-firsters like Levin and Ben Shapiro is that Republicans finally are turning against them. In an interview with comedian Dave Smith on Nov. 1, Carlson fired back, saying, “These guys are not the future, and that’s why they’re freaking out.”

Signs of Trouble
According to data released by the Federal Reserve last month, the top 10% of the U.S. population now do half of total U.S. consumer spending. That percentage has been steadily increasing since the early 1990s when the richest Americans accounted for only 25% of total U.S. spending.
Tough Times
According to The Wall Street Journal, only 11% of 18-29 year olds say they are confident they will be able to buy a home in the United States.
Decline of Society
Conservative news website “Washington Examiner” reports that an estimated 1.4 million American women, aged 18–24, have an account on the pornographic website OnlyFans, representing approximately 14% of total U.S. women in that age group. “OnlyFans” allows women to post pornographic photographs and videos of themselves and sell them to men, who make up around 75% of the customer base of OnlyFans.
Questionable Pardon
According to The Wall Street Journal, earlier this year, multi-billion-dollar crypto company Binance took steps that helped launch the Trump family’s new cryptocurrency, promoting it and helping to increase its market capitalization from $127 million to over $2.1 billion. In September, the Journal reported that President Donald Trump granted a pardon to CZ Zhao, the founder of Binance. In 2023, the company was fined and banned from the U.S. for violating anti-money-laundering laws. Zhao ultimately spent months in prison for related crimes that included turning a blind eye to pedophiles using Binance to facilitate the purchase of child pornography. When asked about the pardon on 60 Minutes, Trump said he didn’t know who Zhao is.
Youth and Cancer
Rising cancer rates among young people in the United States have been an issue for the last decade. On Oct. 27, The Washington Post focused on the six leading states for corn production—Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana and Kansas—where the cancer rate for young people has skyrocketed. The Post notes that rates for young adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s have been trending up as, overall, cancer rates are on the decline. Today, young adults in those six states have significantly higher rates of several cancers, especially kidney and skin cancers. While no studies have confirmed this, speculation is that long-term exposure to all the chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides that are used to grow corn have been leaching into the soil and drinking water, leading to increased cancer rates.
Privacy Violations
Technology news outlet “404 Media” reported recently that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is not allowing American citizens to opt out of its new facial recognition app that agents use to verify a person’s identity and their immigration status. “404 Media” claims to have obtained an internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document that reveals new policies for the massive federal agency. The document says face photos taken by the app will be stored for 15 years, including those of U.S. citizens.
Army Microreactors
Beginning in the fall of 2028, Army installations across the United States will have nuclear microreactors, assuming the Army’s Janus program moves forward on schedule. According to mainstream press reports, “The addition of nuclear power will diversify the energy sources available on military bases and provide a critical enhancement to their resiliency.”
Lying Pedophile
Former Israeli soldier Rabbi Yitzhak Meir Sabo, who now lives in Texas, was arrested in Dallas recently on charges of child sexual abuse. Sabo became famous on the internet for spreading false claims about “Hamas rape atrocities” of Israelis. Now it looks like Sabo will be the one to go to an American jail for raping boys.
Palestinian Abuse
Last February, six Israeli soldiers at the Sde Teiman desert prison camp were arrested for raping a Palestinian male prisoner so badly it caused “rectal injury” after video of the assault was leaked on the Internet. The soldiers were briefly detained and then released, but not before Israeli government officials protested, claiming the prisoner was Hamas, so he deserved it. Now, even that story has fallen apart. Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Nov. 3 that, in September, the Palestinian man was quietly released back into Gaza before anyone in the Israeli government could be bothered to get his testimony for the upcoming trial of the soldiers.
Unexploded Bombs
According to the UN, there are 60,000 tons of unexploded bombs lying all around Gaza.
Overruled on Murder
On Oct. 27, The New York Times reported, “After Shireen Abu Akleh, a celebrated Palestinian American journalist, was fatally shot in the West Bank in 2022, the State Department delivered an equivocal assessment. While shots fired from Israeli military positions were ‘likely responsible,’ it said, American officials ‘found no reason to believe that this was intentional’.” Recently Col. Steve Gabavics (ret.) came forward to dispute the Biden administration’s findings, saying he was punished for objecting to the official statement. Gabavics had served in the Army as a military policeman for 30 years and even worked at Guantanamo Bay. Gabavics said he and a few other investigators had been tasked with investigating Akleh’s murder. Gabavics said his team concluded the shooting had to be intentional, but they were overruled.
Police Overreaction
Retired Tennessee police officer Larry Bushart Jr. was recently released from jail in Lexington, Tenn., after spending a month behind bars. His crime? He was arrested by Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems and charged with making online threats for “trolling” public internet forums that included an online memorial for conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was murdered in September.
Saying Mean Things
On Oct. 27, 10 people went on trial in Paris, accused of harassing French First Lady Brigitte Macron by posting mean things about her on the internet. The individuals reportedly spread “malicious comments” about the biological sex of French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife, saying she is a man. The claim is that Mrs. Macron was born a male and her real name is Jean-Michel Trogneux. Mrs. Macron’s maiden name is Trogneux but her brother’s name is Jean-Michel, according to Tristan Bromet, chief of staff to Mrs. Macron. The trial comes after Macron and his wife filed a defamation lawsuit in Delaware against podcaster Candace Owens over similar claims.
