provinces. The government certainly hopes that this wartime measure will quickly scale down the riots and it may well do that. Yet history is more likely to look back on this not as the end of an irrational burst of urban violence, but as the first act in a protracted time of troubles for France and Europe that could ultimately lead to the demise of European civilization as we know it. None of this is even remotely discernible in French political rhetoric or media coverage surrounding the violent events in the Moslem ghettoes. Yet, shying away from reality by France's ruling class does not change reality – and that stark reality is one of a civilized European nation sliding into barbarism. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-demise-of-france/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1422" class="art-post art-article post-1422 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/moonbat-cowards/" rel="bookmark" title="MOONBAT COWARDS">MOONBAT COWARDS</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="10:46 am">November 24, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Jack Kelly">Jack Kelly</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the al Qaeda chieftain in Iraq, has had a bad week.

They can’t emotionally afford it. BDS – Bush Derangement Syndrome – requires them to overcook their turkey, serve it with sugarless cranberries to match their bitterness, and wash it down not with a good chardonnay but with bile. Their propaganda machine known collectively as the MSM – mainstream media – should be re-nicknamed the BNM: the Bad News Media. The Democrats must refuse to acknowledge and the BNM must refuse to report anything good about America whatsoever. Failure on their part to do so might cause dangerously blasphemous thoughts to occur to the American public, like we are <em>not</em> losing the War on Moslem Terrorism, we are <em>not</em> losing the War in Iraq, President Bush is an honest and decent man whose moral character infinitely exceeds theirs ( and most especially his Democrat predecessor and opponents in 2000 and 2004), the American economy is doing spectacularly well, the sky is not falling nor the oceans rising due to global warming, that America has so much to celebrate on this Thanksgiving Day. The Dems and Libs will on this day mouth pious platitudes about our “blessings,” making sure to riddle them with let’s-not-forget buts: “Thank you, O (substitute whatever they put in place of God) for America’s blessings <em>but </em>let’s not forget the victims of Katrina and the homeless and the starving Banglesdeshis and every ailment on the planet because they are all America’s and George Bush’s fault.” Democrats cannot truly celebrate Thanksgiving because they no longer have the capacity to celebrate being American. This is not hyperbolic. It is a tragic truth. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/can-democrats-celebrate-thanksgiving/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1417" class="art-post art-article post-1417 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-members-only-articles" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-handwriting-on-the-wall-is-chinese/" rel="bookmark" title="THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL IS CHINESE">THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL IS CHINESE</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="9:37 am">November 18, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> The famous story in Chapter 5 of the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament tells of a banquet held by the King of Babylon, Belshazzar, during which a magical finger writes mysterious words on the wall: <em>mene, mene, tekel, upharsin</em>. Today, the handwriting on our wall is in Chinese. And just like back in 559 BC, there is a huge debate over the correct translation – this time between two factions on the President’s National Security Council. But where is Daniel? His voice is only a whisper, but if you stand in the halls of the OEOB – the fabulously ornate Old Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House – you can hear it emanating from a handful of National Security Council offices. Let’s listen carefully, for these whispers are reaching the ears of the President, who is intrigued by the suggestion of a third alternative to the business squishes and the cold warriors regarding the conundrum of China. That alternative is Christianity. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-handwriting-on-the-wall-is-chinese/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1414" class="art-post art-article post-1414 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/catching-thieves-red-handed/" rel="bookmark" title="CATCHING THIEVES RED-HANDED">CATCHING THIEVES RED-HANDED</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="7:11 pm">November 17, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/ets/" title="View all posts by ttpn">ttpn</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> Most of us hate to think about it, but crime is a fact of everyday life. When you grew up, did you live in a neighborhood where you didn't have to lock the door? Seems like a long time ago in a galaxy far away. These days, we all seek ways to protect our homes and families. Some people - in fact, a lot of people - go for “burglar bars.” In Israel, we call them <em>soragim</em>. But bars ruin your view and are far from burglarproof. The alternative, of course, is a burger alarm. But both alarms and bars can be very expensive. Hence this column.

Of course, it is always possible that there are 51 forward-leaning, shrewd, patriotic, non-partisan senators assembled to make the tough, unpopular call to push on for victory, no matter how hard and long the struggle – LOL. But it is vastly more likely that ignoble instincts beat in the breasts of the several senators assembled. Monday, for the first time, the foul odor of the Vietnam War denouement wafted through the Senate chamber during the debate on Iraq. The Democrats called for “estimated dates for the phased redeployment of United States Armed Forces from Iraq.” Phased redeployment was the maneuver the French executed in June 1940 in the days preceding the German occupation of Paris. Phased redeployment is what the Vietnamese boat people did as they swam for their lives away from their homeland. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/fish-eyed-sacks-of-loathsome-bile/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1411" class="art-post art-article post-1411 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-c90-members-only-articles" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/will-iran-break-apart/" rel="bookmark" title="WILL IRAN BREAK APART?">WILL IRAN BREAK APART?</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="3:29 pm">November 17, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Michael Rubin">Michael Rubin</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> While Persian (Farsi) is the official language, half of all Iranians speak a different language at home.1 The languages and dialects spoken along the southern shore of the Caspian Sea continue to engross linguists and anthropologists.

Azeris and Kurds are not alone in exerting regional identities and, on occasion, pursuing separatism. Separatist violence is exploding among Khuzistan Arabs. Violence and lawlessness in Baluchistan is increasingly uncontrollable.

I have taught now at every level of American academia and I have yet to give a test or assign a project that was so important that it caused a game to be canceled or missed. However, from elementary school to college, I regularly have had class time canceled, projects excused and test times altered to cater to athletics. In fact, it seems any academic activity humbly bows before the holy incantation, “Uh, I'm going to be gone; we've got a game that day.” This explanation is not the bitter ranting of an egghead who was always picked last in gym class. Rather, I'm a former collegiate athlete and high school coach who is intrigued by <em>what could be accomplished if we would bring our athletic commitment into the classroom</em>. And, because attitude is not enough, we should also contrast coaching to teaching, so that we might re-learn some valuable lessons about instructional methods. To this end, I see three prime areas for consideration. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/teachers-and-coaches/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1409" class="art-post art-article post-1409 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/chapter-fifteen-the-hill-of-tzompachtepetl/" rel="bookmark" title="Chapter Fifteen: THE HILL OF TZOMPACHTEPETL">Chapter Fifteen: THE HILL OF TZOMPACHTEPETL</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:40 pm">November 17, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> <h2><strong>Chapter Fifteen: The Hill of Tzompachtepetl</strong></h2> Accompanied by twenty Xocotlan sub-chiefs sent by King Olintecle, the expedition made its way down the Apulco river valley to a town where Olintecle told them they could wait for the messengers’ return. The King had advised Cortez against going to Tlaxcala. “They are bad people,” he said, “traitors against the Great Montezuma. A more treacherous people you will never find.” But Cortez insisted, trusting the advice of Mamexi and the Totonacs. The town was called Izta Quimaxtitlan (itch’-ta qwee-mox-teet’-lan), and when they arrived, all of the elders and nobles had assembled to greet them, proclaiming they had received word from Tenochtitlan that the Great Montezuma commanded the Spaniards be welcomed in every way the town was able. As the expedition rested and ate, a group of town elders approached Cortez. “They wish to warn you against the people of Tlaxcala,” Malinali explained. “They say these people are very treacherous and cannot be trusted, that the Tlaxcalans know of you and do not care if you are allies of the Totonacs. The Tlaxcalans say many times have armies come to their country pretending to be friends and once inside, tried to destroy them. The Tlaxcalans do not believe the stories of the Totonacs not paying taxes to Montezuma because of you. The Tlaxcalans say this is not possible, that this is another trick, that their whole country is ready to fight you, to kill you and eat your flesh cooked with chilies.” </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/chapter-fifteen-the-hill-of-tzompachtepetl/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1408" class="art-post art-article post-1408 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-behind-the-lines category-c104-free-articles category-members-only-articles" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/allahs-waiting-room/" rel="bookmark" title="ALLAH’S WAITING ROOM">ALLAH’S WAITING ROOM</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:25 pm">November 17, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><p> In the <a href="http://www.militaryspot.com/militaryalphabet.htm">Military Alphabet</a>, AWR is Alpha Whiskey Romeo. In Iraq today, it’s a code term of American soldiers. Whenever they use “AWR” or “Alpha Whiskey Romeo” in their communications, everyone knows what it really stands for: Allah’s Waiting Room. That’s what our soldiers have turned Iraq into for the terrorists, and that’s why our soldiers know they are winning this war. That’s also why our soldiers have more contempt for MSM journalists and Democrat politicians than the Jihadi terrorists – for at least the terrorists are honest about being an enemy, instead of pretending they’re on your side while stabbing you in the back. As the evidence mounts that the Jihadis are losing in Iraq, the more desperate the Democrats’ and the media’s attempts to suppress and deny the evidence. So I thought I would provide you with some direct evidence of how things are really going in Mesopotamia. This is an unvarnished, personal SitRep – situation report – from a Marine who just spent seven months at “Camp Blue Diamond” near Ramadi, Iraq, deep in Apache country. </p></p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/allahs-waiting-room/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <div class="art-pager"><a class="prev page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/920/?Itemid=44&id=1326">« Previous</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/1/?Itemid=44&id=1326">1</a> <span class="page-numbers dots more">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/919/?Itemid=44&id=1326">919</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/920/?Itemid=44&id=1326">920</a> <span aria-current active="page" class="page-numbers current active">921</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/922/?Itemid=44&id=1326">922</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/923/?Itemid=44&id=1326">923</a> <span class="page-numbers dots more">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/983/?Itemid=44&id=1326">983</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/922/?Itemid=44&id=1326">Next »</a></div> </div> <div class="art-layout-cell art-sidebar2"><div id="nav_menu-2" class="art-block widget widget_nav_menu clearfix"> <div class="art-blockheader"> <h3 class="t">Dr. Jack’s Classics</h3> </div><div class="art-blockcontent"><div class="menu-classics-container"><ul id="menu-classics" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-8461" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8461"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/what-life-is-all-about/">What Life Is All About</a></li> <li id="menu-item-11927" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-11927"><a href="http://www.2thepointnews.com/2009/09/islam/">Religion</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8462" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8462"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/rejecting-the-evil-eye/">Rejecting The Evil Eye</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8463" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8463"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/infantilizomania/">Infantilizomania</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8464" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8464"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/mexican-nazis/">Mexico</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8466" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8466"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/pretending-to-be-happy/">Pretending To Be Happy</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8467" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8467"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/democratic-fascism/">Democratic Fascism</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8468" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8468"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-chinese-christian-crusades/">The Chinese Christian Crusades</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8470" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8470"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/solar-warming/">Solar Warming</a></li> </ul></div></div> </div><div class="art-widget widget widget_text" id="text-3" ><div class="art-widget-content"> <div class="textwidget"></div> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="art-footer"> <div class="art-footer-inner"><div class="art-footer-text"> <p>Copyright © 2025.
