‘Fake News’: US Confirms Aid Is Flowing Into Gaza, Contradicting Hamas Propaganda
The United States and Israel are moving an average of 674 humanitarian aid trucks through Gaza each day, delivering more than 15,000 loads of commercial goods and medicine since the ceasefire began on Oct. 10, according to figures compiled by the U.S.-led Civil-Military Coordination Center, the multinational body running the operations, and shared with the Washington Free Beacon. They contradict Hamas claims that Israel has hampered aid distribution in Gaza—and reports from anti-Israel media outlets relying on the terror outfit to make the same argument.

Not Lost in Translation
A new translation of Thucydides is an occasion to be celebrated. An Athenian, Thucydides is the historian of the war that dealt a devastating blow to the city-states of ancient Greece in the fifth century B.C. The Peloponnesian War was a 27-year-long conflict between the two major power blocs of the historian’s world, one led by his own country, Athens, and the other led by its rival, Sparta. Only one side could win but, in the end, both sides paid a price in blood, treasure, and spirit. A disaster but one that in Thucydides’ hands offers one of civilization’s most powerful learning experiences.

McCloskey’s Latest Spy Thriller Turns a New Page
In just five years, David McCloskey has gone from being a complete unknown to his current status as one of our leading writers of spy fiction, a remarkably rapid ascent. While his first three novels—Damascus Station (2021), Moscow X (2023), and The Seventh Floor (2024)—were set in the same fictional universe, centered around the CIA (where McCloskey himself spent seven or eight years as an analyst, mostly in the Middle East), The Persian marks a new departure.

The Sacred and Profane Decade
One of the stranger moments in the history of American popular music occurred in the winter of 1986, when the chorus of the hottest song on the pop charts featured Greek lyrics from a Christian prayer. Teenagers speeding with their friends rolled down their windows, let the wind blow their Aqua Netted hair, and yelled, “Kyrie Eleison”—Lord have mercy—“down the road that I must travel!” At keg parties in fraternities and sororities across the land, college students sang, in the native language of their social organizations, “Lord have mercy through the darkness of the night.” And while it’s true that many of the song’s fans probably thought they were singing “carry a laser,” Mr. Mister’s “Kyrie Eleison” topped the Billboard 100 for two consecutive weeks. As Tom Breihan describes it, the hit pop song is “a textbook example of ambiguous worship music.”

McCartney Takes Flight
There should be no second acts in the lives of rock bands. The first act invariably ends in deflation and recrimination. The second act is premeditated where the first was spontaneous. It measures success by its receipts, not its music. Most acts get robbed blind the first time round, so we should not begrudge the big payback. Nor are we obliged to attend the overpriced revels or listen to the albums. It is understandable that a man in possession of a mansion by the age of 30 should need a hobby. But it is obvious that George Harrison should have settled for a long and rewarding retirement of meditation and cocaine, rather than inflict the karmic deficit of his solo albums on a vulnerable public.

Mamdani-Supporting Kathy Hochul Dumps Cold Water On One Of His Key Policies
Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) may have endorsed the Democratic Mayor-elect of New York City, but she’s making it clear that she’s not all-in on his progressive policy proposals — especially if they would place a greater burden on a system that is already strapped.
