President Joe Biden must stop trying to appease Hamas sympathizers inside the White House and Democratic Party and reiterate America’s steadfast commitment to Israel. Particularly in the wake of his secretary of state’s dumbfounding and ill-timed remarks regarding the Jewish state.Earlier this month, the Times of Israel reported that, when one high-ranking Israeli official told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that Israeli citizens overwhelmingly support the military campaign to eliminate Hamas “even if it takes months,” he responded, “I don’t think you have the credit for that.”According to the report, Blinken then went on to scold Israel about potential civilian casualties in southern Gaza.“You need to evacuate fewer people from their homes, be more accurate in the attacks, not hit U.N. facilities and ensure that there are enough protected areas,” he said. “And if not? Then not to attack where there is a civilian population.”These comments embolden Hamas terrorists as they r...Franks: The media failed us on George Santos

What took so long? Good riddance to former House Rep. George Santos, R-NY. The Santos saga begs the question: How did he get elected in the first place?Now we know it was due to massive fraud. But I would also add major failures on the part of the press for not properly vetting Santos.Santos once said after losing his first race for Congress in 2020 that “he thought he could get away with it.”Well, a simple check prior to his running of just his high school and college graduations would have revealed a huge clue as to the problem. A simple check of his employment at Goldman Sachs would have ended his quest for public office. It would have been clear at that point that Santos had great difficulty telling the truth.His political career should have been over before it got off the ground.I am not addressing the many other problems related to Santos that have drawn the attention of prosecutors. Their investigations resulted in approximately two dozen criminal charges that, if proven, wou...Beaver: US idling amid China’s military buildup

Our National Defense Strategy identifies China as the primary challenge to the United States. To confront this threat successfully, our military needs more warships, aircraft and munitions. Now.But the Biden administration’s spending does not match its defense strategy. The president’s Emergency Supplemental Request made this clear by asking for $61.4 billion for Ukraine, but only $5.4 billion for the Indo-Pacific. In addition, the administration has made no attempt to cut spending elsewhere in the budget to help fund any part of the supplemental.There are many ways money can be saved within the Department of Defense, from programs that could be cut altogether, to reforms that would make the department spend money more efficiently. Non-defense spending from within research and development, politicized spending on climate change and DEI, and wasteful bureaucratic bloat are all examples of Pentagon funding that needs to be re-allocated toward building actual military capacity.While so...All fans want for Christmas is Mariah Carey

It’s no surprise Mariah Carey is headlining arenas — the singer plays the TD Garden on Monday. Carey spent much of her life being the biggest pop star in the world.Pop culture has a selective memory, but in the decade between the heyday of Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Prince and the rise of Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, Mariah ruled. And nobody was close to her: 19 No. 1 hits that spent 90 weeks at the top spot and a whopping 220 million albums sold (equal to Prince and Britney’s totals combined).So yes, she gets to headline the TD Garden, Madison Square Garden, and any other gardens, arenas, centers, forums, and fieldhouses. Only when Mariah takes the stage in Boston, she’ll likely only sing three of her chart toppers in their entirety. Instead she’ll stuff nine of her hits into a 13-minute medley and devote the remaining hour and change to Christmas carols. This is just what the people want: Why hear “Emotions” in full when you can hear the hundredth version of “Here Co...Celtics star Jaylen Brown explains his view of first career ejection after heated exchange
Published Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:52:19 GMT
The Celtics mostly cruised to a 133-123 victory over the New York Knicks on Friday night, but the bigger story was Jaylen Brown’s first career ejection.With 7:19 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Celtics star picked up two consecutive technical fouls. He received the first for disagreeing with a reach-in foul on Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley, then took issue with the second tech as well.Brown was already on the Celtics bench when he got tossed. Incensed, he had to be held back from storming the court, and led down the tunnel.“To be honest, I’m not sure,” he said when asked what led to the ejection. “Wish I would’ve got my money’s worth. I always thought my first career ejection would be something a little more exciting… not some overemotional ref who had a bad day. What I’m most upset about is, I should’ve got my (expletive) money’s worth.”According to crew chief Mark Lindsay, the first tech was called “for use of profanity toward a game official.” The second was called for “a w...Dear Abby: Are parents reuniting for wrong reason?

Dear Abby: My husband’s parents divorced 50 years ago when he was a newborn. Both remarried within a few years. My husband was raised by his mom and stepdad. His mother and father had little contact after their divorce. Because of that, my husband does not have a close relationship with his biological father, who made little effort to be in his life or the life of our children.Recently, both of my husband’s stepparents passed away. After their passing, his mom and dad decided to get back together. They told us recently that they plan to remarry. My husband is having a hard time with their reunion. He feels they are rebounding from the death of their spouses. How can he learn to accept a relationship he doesn’t agree with but ultimately has no control over? — History Repeats in the SouthDear History Repeats: Unless his mother and biological father can resolve the issues that drove them apart in the first place, their remarriage isn’t likely to be success...Kristaps Porzingis sharp in return as Celtics show their strength in win over Knicks
Published Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:52:19 GMT
While it was not ideal that Kristaps Porzingis injured his calf, his four-game absence allowed the Celtics to play and grow in different ways. Others stepped up into bigger opportunities as the C’s continued to win, something that could benefit them in the long run.But there’s no question, the Celtics are at their best when Porzingis is on the floor.Porzingis made his long-awaited return on Friday night. At times, he couldn’t miss a shot. In other moments, his mere presence allowed his Celtics teammates to flourish as they once again looked like a powerhouse at full strength. Porzingis scored 21 points and Derrick White had 30 points as he drilled six 3-pointers. Jaylen Brown was issued his first career ejection in the fourth quarter but it didn’t matter because the Celtics had more than enough to overcome it in a bounce-back, 133-123 victory at TD Garden.Jayson Tatum added 23 points, Jrue Holiday had 16 points and Al Horford scored 14 from the bench as the Celtics improved to 11-1 ...Latest news
