Netanyahu to Hamas: Free the Hostages and We Will Let You Live

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday evening that Hamas terrorists who freed Israeli hostages would be allowed to live, but that those who sought to harm them would be hunted down and killed. He added that the war in Gaza would end if the hostages were freed and Hamas terrorists laid down their weapons.

Netanyahu published a video address in English, hours after Israel confirmed that its soldiers had killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza in a firefight on Wednesday. He addressed his nation in Hebrew a few hours before.

The full transcript of Netanyahu’s remarks was published by Israel’s Government Press Office:

One year ago, Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist chief of Hamas, launched the October 7th massacre against Israel.

It was the bloodiest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. It was the worst attack on the Jewish state since the founding of Israel.

Sinwar’s terrorists murdered in cold blood 1,200 people. That’s elderly people, Holocaust survivors, children.

They brutally raped women. They beheaded men. They burned babies alive.

And they took 251 women, men and children hostage to the dungeons of Gaza.

Today, the mastermind of this day of sheer evil is no more.

Yahya Sinwar is dead.

He was killed in Rafah by the brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces.

While this is not the end of the war in Gaza, it’s the beginning of the end.

To the people of Gaza, I have a simple message: This war can end tomorrow. It can end if Hamas lays down its arms and returns our hostages.

Hamas is holding 101 hostages in Gaza, who are citizens of 23 countries; citizens of Israel, but citizens of many other countries.

Israel is committed to doing everything in our power to bring all of them home.

And Israel will guarantee the safety of all those who return our hostages.

But to those who would harm our hostages, I have another message: Israel will hunt you down and bring you to justice.

I also have a message of hope to the peoples of the region: The axis of terror that was built by Iran is collapsing before our eyes.

Nasrallah is gone. His deputy Mohsen is gone. Haniyeh is gone. Deif is gone. Sinwar is gone.

The reign of terror that the Iranian regime has imposed on its own people and on the peoples of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen – this too will come to an end.

All those who seek a future of prosperity and peace in the Middle East should unite to build a better future.

Together, we can push back the forces of darkness and create a future of light and hope for all of us.

Social Media Explodes After Kamala Harris’ ‘Total Trainwreck’ Interview; WATCH: Harris Fumes When Confronted Over Covering up Biden’s Cognitive Decline

By Daily Mail. The contentious high-drama interview between Fox News anchor Bret Baier and Vice President Kamala Harris drew immediate attention and reactions online after it aired on Wednesday night.

Baier tried to press Harris on a number of key issues but the vice president protested that he needed to let her finish her answers to the questions.

Meanwhile she tore into Donald Trump for being totally ‘unfit to serve’ as president for a second term because he’s ‘dangerous.’

It was a contentious 30 minutes as the current VP worked to distance herself from Biden, saying her presidency would not ‘be a continuation’ while defending the administration’s policies.

Kamala Harris Fumes When Confronted Over Covering up Biden’s Cognitive Decline

By Daily Wire. Vice President Kamala Harris exploded during an interview Wednesday night when confronted with her cover-up of President Joe Biden’s serious cognitive decline.

Harris made the remarks to Bret Baier during her first real interview of the election cycle in which she was asked difficult questions and repeated follow-ups.

“You told many interviewers that Joe Biden was on his game, that [he] ran around circles on his staff,” Baier noted. “When did you first notice that President Biden’s mental faculties appeared diminished?”

Baier’s question came after Biden was forced out of the presidential race by the Democrat Party following his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump.

Harris flashed a deer-in-the-headlights look when asked the question, and paused for a moment before answering. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Fumes When Confronted Over Covering up Biden’s Cognitive Decline” HERE)

GA Judge Rules Election Officials Must Rubber Stamp Results Even if They Are ‘Non-Sensical’

AGeorgia judge ruled Monday that election officials must certify election results even if the results show “more votes than voters.”

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ruled that “no election superintendent (or member of a board of elections and registration) may refuse to certify or abstain from certifying election results under any circumstance,” even if there is a “non-sensical result.” McBurney did, however, agree that election superintendents have a responsibility to investigate discrepancies and are entitled to review election-related materials as part of this process.

Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections (FCBRE) member Julie Adams, who brought the suit, argued (as described by McBurney’s ruling) in part that “it is proper for her, as a co-election superintendent who has taken an oath to ‘prevent any fraud, deceit, or abuse’ to exercise discretion in certifying election results — a conclusion, which, if correct, would empower her to refuse to certify if she believed the results to be incorrect or not sufficiently reliable to merit certification.”

The Democratic Party of Georgia threatened Adams with legal action after she did not certify the results of the March presidential preference primary. Adams initially filed a suit in May seeking clarification about her role. Adams said she refused to certify the results after she was allegedly denied access to election-related documents and asked that the court clarify her role to be discretionary — meaning members should only certify the results once they are confident the election was administered lawfully — rather than ministerial — meaning members must rubber-stamp results regardless of any concerns.

McBurney dismissed the plea four months later in September after ruling Adams made a procedural error in her filing. (Read more from “GA Judge Rules Election Officials Must Rubber Stamp Results Even if They Are ‘Non-Sensical’” HERE)

Mark Halperin Tells Tucker Carlson Trump Win Would Cause ‘Greatest Mental Health Crisis’ in U.S. History (VIDEO)

Journalist Mark Halperin told Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson on Tuesday that he believes a reelection victory for former President Donald Trump would trigger an historic “mental health crisis.”

Trump currently holds narrow leads over Vice President Kamala Harris in every battleground state except Wisconsin, according to the RealClearPolling averages. Halperin, on “The Tucker Carlson Show,” warned that a Trump win could prompt widespread mental health issues, including addiction, divorce and violence.

“I say this not flippantly. I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country. I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future for them and their children could be like,” Halperin said. “I think that it will require an enormous amount of access to mental health professionals. I think it’ll lead to trauma in the workplace. I think there’ll be some degree of protests.”

Carlson asked the journalist if he was “being serious,” to which Halperin answered he absolutely was. (Read more from “Mark Halperin Tells Tucker Carlson Trump Win Would Cause ‘Greatest Mental Health Crisis’ in U.S. History (VIDEO)” HERE)

Kamala Campaign Drops Bombshell With Mention of Never-Before-Talked-About ‘Tax’

Kamala Harris has been promising a lot of people a lot of money, in her campaign to be voted in to the White House next month. . .

She wants to raise the inheritance tax, destroying many small businesses, raise taxes on companies, and “rich” people. She’s also copied President Donald Trump’s plan for not taxing tips. . .

In campaign’s fundraising email on Wednesday announced a “brass tax.”

The email states, “Let’s get down to brass tax, Felicia. We’ve got our final FEC deadline tonight at midnight. It’s the last chance we have to show the strength of this movement before Election Day, so I’m asking folks directly to give what they can.”

But wait, this doesn’t sound like a “tax” proposal, and it’s not, it’s a solicitation for donations.

The “tax” likely is just a mistake, much like the mistakes that appear in Harris’ many word salad answers, and the “mistakes” of Tim Walz when he tries to remember his military career, or his travels, or his family’s encounter with IFV, and more.

More Democrats or Republicans in America? New Poll Has Surprising Answer

Just as the 2024 presidential election vote is under way, with mail voting and early voting already taking place in a number of states, a new poll shows there are more Americans who identify as Republican than as Democrat.

With the poll showing 31% of respondents to Gallup identify as Republican, to 28% considering themselves Democrats, a report from Trending Politics News said the numbers show “a significant shift in political affiliations since mid-September, causing potential challenges for Democrats ahead of the crucial vote.”

The Republican number is up four points from the last poll, while Democrats were down three. Independents, although down by 1%, still were the leaders, at 41%. . .

It’s now turned into a party of elites, who even had the power to toss Joe Biden, picked by primary voters to be the candidate, under the bus and replace him with Kamala Harris.

The plunge in Democrat numbers, the report said, “comes at a critical time as both parties ramp up efforts to secure votes before Election Day. Analysts suggest that economic concerns, inflation, and dissatisfaction with the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of domestic issues may be driving voters away from the Democratic Party.” (Read more from “More Democrats or Republicans in America? New Poll Has Surprising Answer” HERE)

2 Trans-Identifying Male Models Walk Runway at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Internet Reacts

Following years of declining popularity and lackluster sales, Victoria’s Secret brought back their once-popular runway fashion show, this time including two male models who identify as transgender.

The annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show started in 1995. It featured supermodels, or “Angels,” strutting the runway in lingerie and other high-end styles from the brand. The show was put on hiatus in 2019 following public backlash over body image expectations and the general content of the show. Many critics on the Left complained it wasn’t inclusive of body types or race, and accused the show of lacking LGBTQ representation.

In the following years, the brand moved away from “Angels” and instead made ambassadors out of “accomplished women,” such as soccer star and leftist activist Megan Rapinoe, actress Priyanka Chopra, and trans-identifying model Valentina Sampaio.

Trump-Appointed Judge Orders Alabama To Stop Effort To Remove Non-Citizens From Voter Rolls

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered Alabama officials to stop a program meant to remove non-citizens from the state’s voter rolls, dealing a blow to local efforts to prevent non-citizen participation in elections.

Alabama and the Alabama Secretary of State must cease efforts to remove non-citizens from the state’s voter rolls between now and the Nov. 5 election and must also give guidance to counties in the state to quickly restore many of the voters who have already been taken off, according to an order issued by U.S. District Judge Anna Manasco of the Northern District of Alabama. Manasco had been appointed to the court by former President Donald Trump in May 2020.

“This action sends a clear message that the Justice Department will work to ensure that the rights of eligible voters are protected,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division stated in a press release. “The Justice Department remains steadfast in our resolve to protect voters from unlawful removal from the registration rolls and to ensure that states comply with the mandate of federal law.”

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen, a Republican, announced in August that his office had identified 3,251 individuals who were registered to vote in the state but had also been issued non-citizen identification numbers from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Allen at that time instructed county officials to immediately take the necessary steps to remove all non-citizens from voter rolls.

‘That’s Undeniable’: Joe Rogan Claps Back At Vice Co-Founder Claiming Illegal Aliens Can’t Vote (VIDEO)

Popular podcast host Joe Rogan called out Democrats Wednesday after his guest, Vice Media co-founder Shane Smith, denied that illegal immigrants could vote in elections.

Republicans have repeatedly called out Democrats’ motive behind the push to allow illegal immigrants into the U.S., as the Biden-Harris administration hit record-high encounter numbers over the last three years. On “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Smith and Rogan had been discussing the border crisis, with the host calling out how illegal immigrants are being placed in swing states at a “bizarre” rate.

“Well, the bottom line is a lot of people are being brought into this country and then being shipped to swing states,” Rogan said. “That’s real, that’s undeniable. The percentage of people that are in swing states of illegal immigrants moving to swing states is off the hook. It’s crazy, it’s a bizarre number that seems to be a strategy. It seems — ”

“But why? Because they can’t vote,” Smith said. “I mean, you can vote like in 10, 20 years.”

Rogan pushed back, claiming illegal migrants could “of course” vote, and pointed to the lack of voter ID requirements in Democratic-run states like California.

Fox News Claims Harris Campaign Tried to Steal Time From the Interview — Then Had VP Show Up Late

Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier claimed Wednesday that Kamala Harris’ campaign team pared down the allotted time he had with her just before a highly anticipated interview — and then had the vice president show up late.

Baier, a veteran political journalist, compared the Harris campaign’s tactics to a football team “icing the kicker” before an important field goal attempt.

“So, we were supposed to start at 5 p.m. — this was the time they gave us, originally. We’re going to do 25 or 30 minutes,” the host explained.

“They came in and said, ‘Well, maybe 20 [minutes]. So, it was already getting whittled down,” Baier added.

“And then the vice president showed up at about 5:15 [p.m.].” (Read more from “Fox News Claims Harris Campaign Tried to Steal Time From the Interview — Then Had VP Show Up Late” HERE)
