“Reflect on what happens when a terrible winter blizzard strikes. You hear the weather warning but probably fail to act on it. The sky darkens. Then the storm hits with full fury, and the air is a howling whiteness. One by one, your links to the machine age break down. Electricity flickers out, cutting off the TV. Batteries fade, cutting off the radio. Phones go dead. Roads become impossible, and cars get stuck. Food supplies dwindle.Day to day vestiges of modern civilization – bank machines, mutual funds, mass retailers, computers, satellites, airplanes, governments – all recede into irrelevance.

Hamas leader Khaled Mashal declared that “the resistance and its weapons are our honor and glory” and that “the battle is not over,” boasting that rights are won “at the recruitment office, not the U.N. Security Council” — a declaration that directly contradicts President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan and celebrates the October 7 “Al-Aqsa Flood” massacre as a turning point to push Israel off “our homeland” and the international stage. Speaking Saturday by video to the “Pledge to Jerusalem” conference in Istanbul, the head of Hamas abroad used a keynote address carried on Al Jazeera to lay out…

First Lady Melania Trump went for high glamour at the National Christmas Tree Lighting this year, wearing an off-the-runway coat from the late Karl Lagerfeld’s time at Chanel. Melania Trump wore the wool-cashmere double-breasted coat on Thursday evening, pairing it with grey suede Manolo Blahnik thigh-high boots and leather gloves. The coat is from Chanel’s 2017 Ready-to-Wear Collection, designed at the time by fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld, who passed in February 2019.

The backdown came as the former WWE star and actor confessed on the Joe Rogan Experience it was a difficult learning experience with plenty of Americans then – and now – wondering just what he was aiming at by kowtowing to the Communist dictatorship in Beijing, as Breitbart News reported. Cena had apologized to China for calling Taiwan a country while promoting his film F9. Cena recounted…

President Donald Trump will host the 48th Kennedy Center Honors and is no doubt he will be a success, further believing Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel should watch and learn how its done. In previewing the ceremony with honorees at the White House on Saturday, Trump said, “We’ve never had a President hosting the awards before. This is a first. I’m sure they’ll give me great reviews… If I can’t beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, then I don’t think I should be President.” Trump’s swipe at Kimmel comes after the left-wing late-night TV comedian was suspended in September for implying…
