Despite Palestinian and UNESCO efforts to remove the Jewish indigenous history in Israel, particularly Jerusalem, the evidence keeps showing up in archeological digs. It's why Israelis want to keep digging, and Palestinians oppose any digging, particularly in the area of the Temple Mount and Western Wall. One seeks the truth, the other is afraid of the truth.

I was going to run a "most viewed" posts of the year post, but frankly, it wasn't very interesting. We didn't have any blockbusters, and the list for some reason included a post from 2015 and 2016 (which were heavily viewed in 2017). So instead, I went through my own post timeline to find some "fun" posts that should be memorable. Here they are:

For almost a week, Iranians have been protesting against their oppressive regime. The demonstrations have been unfolding on social media since Iran has no free press and the state press have been told not to report on it. For some odd reason, officials from President Barack Obama's administration have advised people to ignore this uprising. Gee, could it be because their celebrated Iranian nuclear deal looks REALLY bad now? That deal was supposedly the most important foreign policy decision during the administration.

#MeToo, the movement that opened the floodgates of sexual assault and harassment allegations against the rich and powerful, has met an unfortunate fate -- it's been hijacked by partisans hoping to score political points. Targeting political opponents by trotting out alleged victims to make public claims of events transpiring decades ago, attorney's lusting for their 15 minutes of fame, and fundraising opportunities have tainted an otherwise noble movement to put an end to long-standing abuse.

Many of us will look back on 2017 with some regrets. However, few will have as many as blue state Democratic politicos who decided to embrace the #Resistance instead of acting as true representatives of their states' citizens. Rather than negotiate or compromise with either President Trump or the Republicans, they have postured and tweeted away this past year as if there were absolutely no consequences to be faced. As 2018 opens, the bill has come due. I noted last week that the Department of Justice quashed a $3 million project with Los Angeles over that municipality's proudly proclaimed "Sanctuary City" status.

At the end of every year, we see a flurry of predictions for the coming year.  None were as amusing as last year's apocalyptic hysteria as the left contemplated the calamities they envisioned for 2017. President Trump, they assured us, would destroy our and the global economy, "punish" journalists, quit Twitter, take over Voice of America, and of course, be impeached by year's end.

Ahed Tamimi is the Palestinian teen who has become an international anti-Israel star because since early childhood she has been used by her parents and Western BDS supporters to attack Israeli police and soldier for the cameras. In the latest incident, which sparked her arrest, Ahed is seen punching and kicking an Israeli soldier, who stands by passively and does not react:

This is not one of those heavy year-end posts. You want a heavy year-end post, then re-read my post from last year, New Year's Thanks. Some quick observations, in no particular order:

As we bid adieu to another year, I find myself almost giddy with relief that Hillary Clinton is not in the White House.  Love him or hate him, President Trump is vastly superior in every conceivable way to Hillary.  If nothing else, he's made great headway in rolling back the horrific Obama presidency (as illustrated by the ever-brilliant A. F. Branco just this weekend). For once I won't waffle on; instead, let's get to the good stuff.

Protests have grown strong in Iran these past three days, reminiscent of the 2009 Green Movement, as people have grown tired of the ruling regime's oppression. From The Wall Street Journal:
Antigovernment demonstrations broke out for a third day across Iran on Saturday, extending some of the country’s most widespread street protests in nearly a decade, with protesters demanding an end to the Islamic Republic regime and the rule of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Video shot from inside Iran and shared with The Wall Street Journal suggest large rallies at dozens of cities across the country.

The data is in, and 2017's news cycle has been a veritable hurricane of #FakeNews, social justice drama, and progressive implosions! As I look back at the posts I prepared during the past 365 days, I have come to the conclusion that the media storm was scientifically predictable.
