Randy Fine’s win in Florida’s 6th Congressional District special election on April 1, 2025, is a sigh of relief for a Republican Party clinging to its razor-thin House majority like a lifeboat in a storm.

Moody’s has delivered sobering news regarding Israel’s credit rating, forecasted to remain at a historic low of BAA1 through 2025.

A group of pro-Hamas rabble-rousers, showed up at the orthodox Shaarey Zedek Congregation and Hebrew school in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley. A large group of pro-Israel demonstrators met the Hamas supporters head on and things got pretty rough. In the end, the LAPD arrived and broke up the fight, assigning the protest groups to …

Her vocal support for Israel in international forums and her staunch defense of its right to self-defense earned her praise from many pro-Israel advocates.
