Billionaire George Soros said he is working to “bend” the arc of history “in the right direction.” In Soros’ case, that direction is far to the left. To do it, he donated over $32 billion to his Open Society Foundations since 1984, to further leftist ideology and activism well beyond his own lifetime. Soros has committed a combined sum of more than $2.3 billion to create a global university network to push his extreme ideology.

Biden Supporter Makes Trouble at Trump Rally, But She Immediately Has Cause to Regret it
President Donald Trump was in classic form last night, taking down Joe Biden and all his failures during his rally in Florence, Arizona.
Trump had a massive crowd of supporters come out, with the cars trying to get into the area for the rally reportedly backed up for miles.
Joe Biden did manage to get one supporter out there. Not much for 81 million votes. However, he may have wished he didn’t have this woman who was wearing a Biden shirt, but who ended up being cuffed by the police. The unhinged left flipped out about her arrest/detention.

FBI Claims Attack on Synagogue ‘Not Specifically Related to Jewish Community’
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) claimed Saturday that an attack and hostage-taking by an armed Islamic terrorist at a synagogue near Dallas, Texas, was “not specifically related to the Jewish community,” prompting criticism online.
The terrorist burst into the sanctuary during a Sabbath service at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, and took several members of the community hostage, including the rabbi, before being killed by the FBI in a raid Saturday evening.

Glenn Greenwald Exposes Deep State Effort to Stop Trump Pardoning Edward Snowden and Julian Assange
Authored by Adam Dick via The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity
There was much speculation toward the end of Donald Trump’s term as president of the United States that Trump would pardon Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, or both of these men who were responsible for exposing vast amounts of wrongdoing by the US government. But, it did not come to pass. Why? Glenn Greenwald, who played a key role in helping Snowden expose information about the US government’s mass surveillance programs and who advocated in public and behind the scenes that Trump pardon both men, has some interesting thoughts about that.
The reason Trump failed to issue a pardon for either Snowden or Assange centers on the deep state trying to protect itself by placing Trump in jeopardy, suggested Greenwald last week in an episode of his System Update show.

Hospital System Backs Off Race-Based Treatment Policy After Legal Threat
One of the largest hospital systems in the United States gave race more weight than diabetes, obesity, asthma, and hypertension combined in its allocation scheme for COVID treatments, only to reverse the policy after threats of legal action.
SSM Health, a Catholic health system that operates 23 hospitals across Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, began using the scoring system last year to allocate scarce doses of Regeneron, the antibody cocktail that President Donald Trump credited for his recovery from COVID-19. A patient must score at least 20 points to qualify for the drug. The rubric gives three points to patients with diabetes, one for obesity, one for asthma, and one for hypertension, for a total of six points. Identifying as “Non-White or Hispanic” race, on the other hand, nets a patient seven points, regardless of age or underlying conditions.

Michigan’s Dana Nessel Speculates ‘White Supremacy’ To Blame for Texas Synagogue Terrorist Attack
As the hostage situation at a Texas synagogue developed on Saturday, Michigan’s attorney general, Democrat Dana Nessel, raised the possibility that white supremacists were behind the attack.
Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, about an hour after it had been reported that the attacker was demanding the release of imprisoned terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, Nessel said her “biggest concern” was that the attack was a “hate crime” or “domestic terrorism,” pointing to “white supremacy organizations.”

Virginia Democratic Del. Ibraheem Samirah — a Muslim who made headlines in 2019 for protesting at President Donald Trump’s address in Jamestown — is in the news again.
What now?
Samirah sent a letter Monday to the Fairfax County School Board, opening the missive in this way: “Recently a Muslim student from Fairfax High School named Ms. Ekran Mohamed was viciously bullied by two other students who pulled her hijab off of her head. This horrific event … demonstrates that we need to take immediate action to prevent anti-Muslim bigotry and Islamophobia in our school systems.”
Problem is, police came to quite a different conclusion about last month’s incident.

Just hours before an apparently innocent woman was pushed onto the subway tracks by a convicted felon, a group of protesters at a nearby Olive Garden were arrested for refusing to show proof of a COVID vaccine.
Videos posted to social media showed a group of about half a dozen protesters staging a sit-in at the Times Square Olive Garden on Friday night to protest New York City’s vaccine mandate for indoor dining.
The protesters reportedly remained inside the Olive Garden for two hours and refused to leave, which prompted the restaurant — which usually stays open until midnight — to close early, according to FOX News.

Texas Synagogue Hostage-Taker Was British
A man who took four hostages at a synagogue in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, has been identified by the FBI as British citizen Malik Faisal Akram, 44.
The man who interrupted a morning service in Colleyville on Saturday was shot and killed after a 10-hour standoff with police.
All of the hostages at the Congregation Beth Israel were freed unharmed.
US President Joe Biden called the hostage-taking an “act of terror” and the UK condemned the attack.
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss described it as an “act of terrorism and anti-Semitism”, adding: “We stand with US in defending the rights and freedoms of our citizens against those who spread hate.”
There is currently no indication that others were involved, the FBI in Dallas said. Police sources say that no explosive material was found on the attacker’s body.
A brother of Malik Faisal Akram issued a statement apologising to the victims and saying he had been suffering from “mental health issues”.
Negotiators had spent hours talking to the assailant during the standoff…

The (Too Often) Untold Story: Armed Self-Defense and the Lives Saved Every Year by Gun Owners
Lots of us own guns. Many of us carry those guns legally in public. That’s critically important because concealed carriers save a lot of lives. You knew most of that already, but there are a few you don’t hear about as often and they bear repeating.
Every day there are over 17 million of us legally carrying concealed in public. At least. Pay no attention to the “official” numbers or the number of permit holders. That doesn’t begin to tell the full story. And with the proliferation of constitutional carry states, the number of people carrying firearms every day continues to increase.
Millions of Americans carry seven days a week, with no days off, and we save thousands of lives a day.
You already know that using a firearm is serious business. The law says an innocent person can only defend themselves with lethal force if death or great bodily injury are imminent and unavoidable.
In plain language that means someone might go to the hospital or the morgue unless you present your firearm to stop the bad guy…right now. If you didn’t know that legal justification, you probably assumed something very close to it.
The gun is a last resort, and we only threaten to take a life if an innocent person is about to lose theirs.
What you might not know is that one out of eleven adults alive in the US today have used a firearm in self-defense. You might not know that honest gun owners legally use their guns to save lives over 4500 times a day.

US Government Plans to Force All New Vehicles to Have a “Kill Switch”
If the US government gets its way, it will require car manufacturers to install kill switches in all new vehicles (cars, trucks, and SUVs) from 2026. The kill switch will have a backdoor that can be accessed by law enforcement.
See the text of the bill here.
But, as House Representative Bob Barr noted in an article last year, legislation can change unexpectedly to work against law-abiding citizens.
The kill switch will not only remotely shut down a vehicle but the technology will also “passively monitor the performance of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.”

Canadian Journalist Publishes Investigative Report on Vaccine Side Effects
Canadian journalist Rav Arora published an independent investigative report Saturday on vaccine-related side effects. The side effects Arora investigated are related explicitly to myocarditis in young males.
Arora’s investigation includes numerous data tables and personal interviews with young males who are suffering from myocarditis. Although the writer’s byline is most often seen in the New York Post, this particular deep dive was published on his new Substack, titled “Noble Truths With Rav Arora.”
Arora independently published his piece due to the highly-censorious environment around posting COVID-19 content that may be perceived as “anti-science.” Nonetheless, the preamble of the report states: “The following essay has been rigorously fact-checked by Stanford medicine professor and infectious disease expert Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. The scientific claims regarding post-vaccine Myocarditis are fully in line with the current medical literature.”

“Fully Islamized Islamic enclaves, mini-states and neighborhoods in large European cities will begin to appear. Yes, they will always be a minority. But they are more united and threaten violence. And the state will have to obey their instructions”.

Germany: In Jealous Rage, Muslim Migrant Cuts Off Woman’s Nose, Breasts, And Genital Area
Here is yet another manifestation of the culture of violence that arises from religious texts which sanction the beating of disobedient women (Qur’an 4:34). Women are abused in all cultures. However, only in Islam is the abuse of women given the sanction of the almighty, so that the perpetrators can go away feeling righteous. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’“ — Sahih Muslim 2127
Another hadith states: “Rifa’a divorced his wife whereupon ‘AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. ‘Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s Messenger came, Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!’“ — Sahih Bukhari 7.77.5825
Now, there is no sanction for mutilation in Islam. The problem is that once the abuse is permitted, where to draw the line becomes a subjective matter.

They are said to have taken €3000 from each person they smuggled. The Polish Border Guard said many had no intentions of staying in Poland and were paying for the chance to move on further into the continent.
“In most cases, the people who cross the border do not want to stay in Poland,” said Anna Michalska, spokeswoman for the Polish Border Guard. “90 per cent of them want to go to other countries, mostly to Western European countries.”
The accused so-called “couriers” are Polish, Georgian, Ukrainian, Syrian, and Tunisian nationals.

Number of people who drowned off Calais has tripled
(ANSAmed) — PARIS, JANUARY 10 — The year 2021 recorded a record number of attempts to cross the English Channel, said on Monday the French office in charge of immigration and integration (Ofii). The bureau added that the number of wrecked and rescued migrants off Calais, in northern France, who were then assisted by the State, tripled last year.
“The number of shipwrecked people off Calais who were rescued was 1,002 in 2021”, compared to 341 in 2020 or an increase of 194%, Ofii told France Presse. Last November, the Channel turned into a cemetery with the shipwreck of a rubber dinghy in which 27 migrants who were trying to reach Great Britain died — a similar tragedy to the many reported in the Mediterranean Sea.
