January 1, 2025

Two suspected terror attacks on New Year’s Day signal a new worry for Americans that Europe has long faced: a deadly threat from our own citizens…The New Orleans massacre should be a wake-up call to those who see Islamism primarily as a problem far away from home, Hannah E. Meyers, director of policing and public safety at the Manhattan Institute, told The Free Press…Though there is much still to be learned about the New Orleans attacker, “clearly, he was an American,” Weiss said. “That’s what frightens me more, to be honest.” READ MORE

FRONT PAGE MAG Mark Tapson: Is the New Orleans Attack Going to Be Our New Normal? Contrary to what the multiculturalists of the Left obstinately insist, cultural diversity is fine when you’re talking about restaurants, but is not inherently a societal strength. A burgeoning Muslim population anywhere in the Western world ultimately means the spread of no-go zones and sharia law, including the supremacist contempt for, and surging aggression against, our willfully oblivious, tolerant and inclusive host culture. 

NATIONAL REVIEW Jim Geraghty: A Bloody, Fiery Start to 2025 When you detonate a truck made by the company of Elon Musk in front of a hotel with Donald Trump’s name on it, I think the political message of the attack is awfully darn clear.

JEWISH INSIDER Two Israeli men remain hospitalized in New Orleans after terrorist attack Two Israeli men in their mid-20s remain hospitalized — one in critical condition — after a driver intentionally rammed a pickup truck into a crowd during New Year’s celebrations on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street, killing 14 and injuring at least 30 in Wednesday’s terror attack.   Both men were tourists from Israel, traveling through several American cities and expecting to end their jaunt in Florida.

FUTURE OF JEWISH Daniel Greenfield: White House says Muslims were the real victims of October 7th. On October 7th, Islamic terrorists invaded Israel and murdered over 1,000 people. They raped, looted, and burned families alive in their home. Those whom they did not kill, they took hostage. According to the U.S. President Joe Biden administration’s newly announced Islamophobia strategy, however, Muslims in America were the real victims of October 7th — just like they were the real victims of 9/11. “
