Israeli leaders such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “look like shells of their former selves‚” commentator Morgan Ortagus says‚ following meetings in Israel earlier this month.  But Ortagus‚ who was State Department spokesperson under President Donald Trump‚ says the weariness extends to the people of Israel‚ many of whom remain “traumatized” from the Hamas terrorist attacks Oct. 7.  “The very existence of the state of Israel is threatened whenever they are attacked‚” she says‚ adding‚ “It’s a tiny country. It’s a tiny people.” “So when they are attacked‚ it’s existential to their surviva‚” Ortagus says. “And we of course know that more Jews were killed on Oct. 7 than on any other day since the Holocaust. So I know that has to weigh with the leadership.”  As host of “The Morgan Ortagus Show‚” a new Sunday offering on SiriusXM Patriot‚ the former State Department official is using her platform‚ and her nearly two decades of national security experience‚ to communicate the history of tension in the Middle East and what America’s role should be.  Morgan Ortagus speaks Sept. 19 at the Concordia Annual Summit at the Sheraton New York hotel. (Photo: John Lamparski for Concordia Summit/Getty Images) Ortagus joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain what she learned after meeting with Netantahu and other senior leaders in Israel and Saudi Arabia‚ and visiting some of the kibbutzim where Hamas terrorists tortured‚ raped‚ and slaughtered Israelis on Oct. 7.  Listen to the podcast below.

Thousands of members of the pro-life movement will gather in Washington‚ D.C.‚ on Friday for the 51st annual March for Life. While there is plenty for marchers to celebrate in light of 50 years of hard work that resulted in Roe v. Wade being overturned in 2022‚ the movement has suffered big losses over the past year and a half.  Since Roe v. Wade was overturned‚ every single pro-life ballot measure has failed‚ regardless of whether the vote was in a red or blue state. Even in largely conservative states such as Montana and Kentucky‚ measures intended to protect the unborn have been voted down.  “The pro-life side has lost seven out of the past seven ballot initiatives at the state level—a perfect record of failure‚” Sen. Marco Rubio‚ R-Fla.‚ told The Daily Signal on Tuesday in an exclusive discussing his plan for how the Republican Party can turn the tide on abortion.  In a recent piece for Newsweek‚ Charles Camosy‚ professor of medical humanities at Creighton University School of Medicine‚ wrote “For data-driven pro-lifers‚ it is no exaggeration to say that our post-Roe v. Wade reality in the United States has been a disaster.”  In November‚ writer-editor Carmel Richardson wrote for The American Conservative: “The pro-life movement has been rhetorically apologizing for Dobbs [v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization] ever since it was handed down‚ trying to prove its moderation with compromise and sidestepping‚ as though suddenly ashamed of the belief that human life begins at the moment of conception.”  Whether among politicians‚ medical professionals‚ or journalists‚ there is widespread agreement that something has gone wrong in the fight for life and that change is needed if mothers are to be supported and babies’ lives saved.  On today’s edition of the “Problematic Women” podcast‚ we discuss the issues the pro-life movement is facing‚ why all the pro-life ballot measures have failed‚ and‚ most importantly‚ what can be done to restore a culture of life in America and see state pro-life measures finally pass.  Also on today’s show‚ we discuss why New Jersey has redefined infertility to include same-sex couples and single persons. And America is not the only one having a major election this year. Taiwan’s election Saturday sent a clear message to China. We explain why. And as always‚ we crown our “Problematic Woman of the Week.” Listen to the podcast below:  Have an opinion about this article?

A Viking-era sword bearing an Ulfberht inscription was discovered last week during dredging works on the WisÅ‚a river in WÅ‚ocÅ‚awek‚ central Poland. The sword is more than a thousand years old. Even heavily encrusted and blackened by years spent at the bottom of a silty river‚ the three lobes of the pommel are clearly discernible‚ categorizing it as a Petersen Type S sword which typically date to the 10th century. The sword was found by workers removing the alluvial sediment that had built up on the floor of the marina basin. An oblong metal object was spotted in the pile of extracted sediment and a quick rinse revealed it to be a sword. An X-ray of the sword found the inscription “+VLFBERHT+” on the blade. There are about 170 Ulfberht swords known. Characterized by the inscription +VLFBERHT+ or +VLFBERH+T on the blade‚ because “Ulfberht” is a Frankish name‚ the swords are believed to be of Frankish origin‚ likely from the Rhineland region. They were manufactured from the 9th to the 11th centuries using a variety of metalworking techniques. Most of them have been found in Northern Europe‚ Russia and the Baltic states. Only eight of them have been found in Poland Petersen Type S swords were often covered in organic materials like leather or rope at the hilt‚ materials that could very well have survived the centuries in the anaerobic conditions of the river sediment. The Provincial Office for the Protection of Monuments has delivered the sword to researchers from the Nicolaus Copernicus University who will study‚ clean and conserve it. Once it has been conserved‚ it will become a permanent addition to the collections of the Museum of the Kuyavian and DobrzyÅ„ Lands‚ and will go on display at the WÅ‚ocÅ‚awek History Museum

“The defeat of the enemy . . . . presuppose[s] great physical or moral superiority or else an extremely enterprising spirit. . . . When neither of these is present‚ the object of military activity can only be one of two kinds: seizing a small or larger piece of enemy territory‚ or holding one’s own until things take a better turn.” Thus “two kinds of limited war are possible: offensive war with a limited aim‚ and defensive war.” – Karl Von Clausewitz‚ On War The post The Editors’ Quote of the Day: appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.
