| NBA Stars Denounce Hamas Torture but Enable China's |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| It's taken a surprising amount of courage for U.S. celebrities to stand up and condemn Hamas's slaughter of innocent Israelis. For some, like Kylie Jenner, that courage was short-lived. But for others, only an atrocity the scale of October 7 could bring the country's out-of-touch stars into alignment with everyday American sentiment. It's just unfortunate that, in the case of stars like LeBron James, those sympathies don't extend to people suffering ISIS-like tortures every day. |

| Biden Pact Would Force U.S. Soldiers to Die for Saudi Arabia |
| by Ben Johnson |
| Even before anti-American ideologues held public rallies justifying terrorist violence in the name of "decolonization," Joe Biden sought to hammer out an agreement that could force American soldiers to fight and die for Saudi Arabia. The terms could also give the Saudis, the world's foremost funders of radical Islam, access to a "civilian" nuclear program and rein in Israel's response to terrorist attacks. |

| UN Refugee Fund for Gaza Is Being Used to Finance Terrorism and Anti-Semitism, Experts Say |
| by Dan Hart |
| In the wake of the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas terrorists that killed over 1,400 Israeli civilians on October 7, increased scrutiny is being centered on the ideology that fueled the barbarity that took place. Experts say that funds allocated to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) have not only been funneled to terrorists in Gaza, but have also been used to fund educational materials for Palestinian youth that is rife with anti-Semitism. |

| The Battle of Lepanto: What Christians Today Can Learn from This Historic Naval Conflict |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| October 7 will be remembered for years as the day Palestine-based Hamas found a chink in Israel's nearly-impenetrable armor and wreaked havoc on the embattled nation. Days later, Palestinian Muslims sounded again the cry for a global jihad, a "holy" war against Israel, the West, and all whom the Muslim world derides as infidels. This battle cry has been heard many times before, and will probably be heard again, but in these days of turmoil and fear, it is well worthwhile for Christians to recall another October 7 nearly 500 years ago, when that terrific cry was silenced by Christian bravery and the power of prayer. |

| False Testimony, Misremembering, Ideological Confusion: A Fact Check on Biden's HRC Speech |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| President Joe Biden spoke Saturday at the Human Rights Campaign's annual National Dinner. Biden said it was his fourth appearance at the annual event, which is billed as "a national gathering for champions of LGBTQ equality." Although the 80-year-old president rarely makes public appearances before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., he made an exception for his close allies, and he delivered a reasonably coherent address to boot. |

| America's Universities Reap What They Have Sown |
| by Rob Schwarzwalder |
| America's elite institutions are shuddering from the impact of the outbursts of anti-Semitism on their campuses. Their spasms of panic are animated less by the Israel-hatred and hostility to Jews emanating from their students than by something even atheist materialist postmoderns find terrifying: loss of income. |

| More Campuses Are Requiring Access to Abortion Pill: 'Women Are Being Exploited' |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Since the 2022 Dobbs Supreme Court decision, several colleges across the U.S. have been looking for ways to provide abortion access for students. Before Roe v. Wade was even overturned, California became the first state in 2019 to enact a law that required public universities to provide students with the abortion pill. Massachusetts passed a similar law in 2022. And in New York, laws requiring students to have access to these drugs through their campuses passed in May and went into effect in August - just weeks before students resumed their studies. |
