Unusually heavy snow in Australia.

Hamas overrunning Fatah in Gaza. Abbas fires Hamas government. Declares state of emergency. He still has control in the west bank, for now. All this is because, like Hezbollah, Hamas is a proxy for Iran which is protected by China and Russia, and we allow them to literally get away with murder. Until we confront Iran, Russia and China and make them pay a price, they will continue burning down the entire Middle East.

Reason examines illegal immigration and disputes claims of "nativists." Victor Davis Hanson exposes the elitism of calling typical American "nativists." Work verification, not a fence, not militarizing the border, is how we'll secure our borders. And employers have everything they need to do that right now - valid picture ID and a birth certificate or green card. We don't need any big government program for work verification either.

Al Qaeda threatens France. Since Spain is committing social suicide by demographics to become a Muslim colony, it will be interesting to see if al Qaeda attacks there too. I bet they do.

China's growing power. Understanding China. I think I understand China well enough. It wants to dominate the world. They're already waging a tremendously effective stealth war with their Russian ally and proxies, a new Cold War of Terror, against us in the tradition of Sun Tzu,. We're providing all the wealth China needs to defeat us. I think that's a great executive summary.
