Israel to ‘Decrease’ Military Campaign as U.S. Seeks ‘Very Significant Pause’ in War

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israel has “significantly refined” its military campaign against Hamas following U.S. pressure to curb Palestinian civilian casualties in Gaza, according to a senior U.S. official.

“The overall scale of their campaign [is expected to undergo] a decrease in what we’ve seen and more of a tactical focus on the ground campaign as they’re working to clear out some specific areas where there are tunnel complexes and things,” a senior administration official told reporters Friday evening. “So, that’s what we anticipate seeing over the next week.”

That forecast points to a new phase in the military operation and an expansion of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, after weeks of bombardment. The shift could also portend another step toward the mass release of the hostages seized by Hamas in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, with President Joe Biden’s administration seeking “a very significant pause in the conflict” to enable their departure.

“So there’s an active process going on here with multiple lines of effort, including indirect engagement to try to find a framework to get the hostages out of Gaza,” the senior administration official said. “It would take a very significant pause in the conflict in the fighting to be able to do this. It is something that is under a very serious and active discussion, but there is no agreement as of yet to actually get this done.” (Read more from “Israel to ‘Decrease’ Military Campaign as U.S. Seeks ‘Very Significant Pause’ in War” HERE)

WATCH: Here’s What Happened When a Jewish Man Went Undercover at a Free Palestine Rally

/0 Comments/in , /by

The terrorists among us are being exposed, and we don’t have to do much work. These cretins are showing up tearing down posters of Israelis who Hamas kidnapped. The assaults and threats made against Jewish students on college campuses, along with the vile protests nationwide, show that this goes beyond anti-Israel sentiment. It’s nothing but hate, something we’ve known for years, though social media has been able to peel away the layers of this onion. . .

To make sure everyone understood, Eliott Tebele, a Jewish man and creator of the F**kJerry Instagram account, went undercover at a pro-Palestine rally. It was ugly. One woman said that the Jews could go to hell, while another said that Hamas’ October 7 attack wasn’t terrorism. There was even a “queer for Palestine” clown who tried to argue that it’s just as dangerous for LGBT folks here in America as it is in the Gaza Strip. That’s patently false: you die if they find out you’re gay over there.

Trump’s Gag Order in DC Election Interference Case Paused

/0 Comments/in , /by

The gag order in former President Donald Trump’s case in Washington, D.C., involving his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election has been paused by a federal appeals court.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a stay on the gag order pending an appeal, with the court also setting an expedited appeal schedule. The pause is simply an administrative stay while the court deliberates the merits of the gag order before deciding whether to leave it in place or remove it.

The gag order was reimposed on Oct. 29 after being paused during a prior appeal in response to when it was initially imposed on Oct. 17. The order prohibited parties in the case from “making any public statements, or directing others to make any public statements, that target” Smith or his staff, defense attorneys or their staff, court staff, and “any reasonably foreseeable witness or the substance of their testimony.”

Trump’s lawyer’s brief arguing against the gag order will be due by 5 p.m. on Nov. 8, followed by the Justice Department’s brief in favor of the gag order being due by 5 p.m. on Nov. 14, and a reply by Trump’s lawyers is due by noon on Nov. 17. The oral argument for the appeal has been scheduled for Nov. 20, at 9:30 a.m., according to the order. (Read more from “Trump’s Gag Order in DC Election Interference Case Paused” HERE)

Biden Admin To Spend $950M on Border Wall Repairs, Upgrades After Campaign Promise to Not Build ‘Another Foot’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden famously promised not to build “another foot” of border wall during his presidency, but he’s willing to spend $950 million on upkeep of the existing infrastructure.

The Biden administration — which reversed course last month and announced it will build a new section of wall in Texas — allocated the money to repair and upgrade existing border walls in the Lone Star State, California and Arizona, according to a court filing.

Customs and Border Protection reported that four separate contracts have been awarded for “remediation work and system attribute installation” at sites in Tucson, San Diego, El Paso and El Centro.

The work will include the installation of cameras, new roads and “detection technology” that will make the barriers more effective in stemming the flow of illegal immigrants, documents state.

Remediation work will fill in border gaps, install gates, fix nearby patrol roads and address erosion and drainage issues in the immediate areas. (Read more from “Biden Admin To Spend $950M on Border Wall Repairs, Upgrades After Campaign Promise to Not Build ‘Another Foot’” HERE)

Eric Trump Rails Against Fraud Trial, Calls It ‘Waste of Taxpayer Money’ After Testimony Ends

/0 Comments/in , /by

Eric Trump on Friday railed on the $250 million civil fraud case against his family after concluding testimony at the Manhattan trial — where he showed up in nearly identical clothes for two days in a row.

Trump, 39, testified for roughly four and a half hours spread over Thursday and Friday, when he appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court in what appeared to be the same navy suit, light blue tie, white dress shirt, brown oxford shoes and even the same printed light blue socks.

Outside the courtroom afterward, Trump blasted New York Attorney General Letitia James — who is prosecuting the case — and the judge deciding it, echoing claims by his dad, former President Donald Trump, that the trial is a political witch hunt.

“This is a big charade that is a huge waste of taxpayer money and it’s the very reason everyone’s moving out of New York state, and I was actually one of them,” Trump told a gaggle of reporters.

“It’s a joke, it’s an absolute joke,” he said, claiming James was using the case to bolster her career. (Read more from “Eric Trump Rails Against Fraud Trial, Calls It ‘Waste of Taxpayer Money’ After Testimony Ends” HERE)

Illegal Alien, Wanted for Terrorism, Arrested Near One World Trade Center Had Been Freed Into U.S. By Biden’s DHS

/0 Comments/in , /by

An illegal alien wanted for terrorism in Senegal was arrested in late October just blocks from New York City’s One World Trade Center after having been released into the United States by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Just this week, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas repeatedly told the Senate Homeland Security Committee that illegal aliens who are “national security threats” are promptly arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and deported.

Despite Mayorkas’ assertion, an illegal alien — from either the Islamic Republic of Mauritania or Senegal — arrived at the United States–Mexico border on Oct. 3 near Lukeville, Arizona. The illegal alien was given a Notice to Appear (NTA) before a federal immigration judge and released into the United States interior.

A week later, ICE agents in New York City were notified by Homeland Security Investigations agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Counter Terrorism Division that the illegal alien was wanted in Senegal for terrorist activities.

At that point, the illegal alien had traveled to New York City, a sanctuary jurisdiction that refuses to work with ICE agents seeking to have criminal illegal aliens deported.

Lebanon Border Closer to War; Israel Encircles Hamas in Gaza City

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Lebanese-Israeli border is closer to war than it has been thus far in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, as the Palestinian terrorist group claimed responsibility for rockets fired from southern Lebanon at the Israeli city of Kiryat Shemona on Thursday.

Hamas is based in Gaza but also has a presence in Palestinian communities in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and in other countries, including southern Lebanon, as well as in more distant countries like Qatar, where the Hamas leadership resides.

Hezbollah, a proxy of Iran, controls southern Lebanon (and much of the Lebanese government as well). It has threatened to enter the war and has fired on Israeli positions, killing several soldiers and forcing the evacuation of Israel’s northernmost cities. Israel has responded to each incident by striking the Hezbollah position responsible for the fire. It has also launched preemptive strikes on terrorists who have tried to fire rockets or to infiltrate into northern Israel. But thus far, a broader war has not yet erupted.

Israel has said that it will hold Hezbollah responsible for any rocket fire from southern Lebanon. Accordingly, it struck a number of Hezbollah positions on Thursday evening after several Hamas rockets caused significant damage.

‘Glamour’ Names Transgender Model as ‘2023 Woman of the Year’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Glamour magazine has named a male-born transgender model as one of its 2023 Women of the Year awardees.

The magazine named Philippines model Geena Rocero as one of its seven women of the year picks in its November 1 announcement.

In its retrospective of Rocero’s career, it is revealed that the Filipino model got started when an adult drag queen groomed a then 15-year-old Rocero for a stage career.

Drag performer Tigerlily Garcia Temporosa, who is described as a “mentor and community mother,” praised Rocero as a “rising star” as a young teen.

“At 15 years old she took the highest titles here in the national pageant,” Temporosa enthused. “I [was] so proud and so happy. A lot of good transgender [competitors] wanted me to handle them, at that time, with Geena rising as a promising star.”

WATCH: Here’s What Happened When a Grieving Palestinian Mother Shouted Who She Blames for Her Son’s Death

/0 Comments/in , , /by

One Palestinian mother knows who to blame for her son’s death. The video captures the grieving Gaza resident mourning the loss of her child but doesn’t hurl her anger at Israel, the West, or the infidels. She directly blames the “Hamas dogs.” Reports are that her son was a tragic victim of collateral damage from an Israeli airstrike. During the recovery efforts, she appears to see the cameras and starts ripping into Hamas, which leads to her being muzzled by rescue workers.

Hamas has controlled the strip for 17 years and has never built a single bomb shelter for its people. They have constructed a wide array of terror tunnels from which their members can wait out Israeli attacks. All these tunnels will have to be cleared if Israel strives to eliminate Hamas as a viable political and military organization. They’re hiding in them, using the fuel they’ve been hoarding, which could be going to hospitals, to keep generators pumping the tunnels with breathable air running.

Eric Trump, Like Don Jr., Denies Involvement in Dad Donald’s Financial Statements That Are Key at Fraud Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

Eric Trump claimed during testimony at a Manhattan fraud trial Thursday that he wasn’t involved with his dad’s financial statements — echoing his brother Donald Trump Jr.’s testimony – but was more prickly on the stand than his elder sibling.

The two Trump brothers arrived at Manhattan Supreme Court on Thursday morning wearing nearly identical clothing, including dark navy blue suits, light blue ties, brown shoes, slicked-back coifs and neatly groomed facial hair.

Don Jr., 45, waved to the press cameras as the entourage-flanked duo walked inside.

During Eric’s testimony — which was noticeably more tense than Don Jr.’s — state attorney Andrew Amer repeatedly pressed the 39-year-old on whether he was involved in compiling the former president’s statements of financial condition, which are at the center of the fraud case.

The icy afternoon was capped by Justice Arthur Engoron getting into a spat with Trump’s lawyer Christopher Kise after the conclusion of testimony when the judge suggested the attorney might be misogynistic for referring to his female law clerk repeatedly.
