World-Renowned Expert on Urban Combat: Hamas ‘Creating’ Civilian Deaths to Stir World Against IDF

/0 Comments/in , /by

Despite the “nightmare” of tunnel warfare, the mission being carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) appears “very successful,” though Israel doesn’t have unlimited time, according to retired United States Army Major and urban warfare expert John Spencer, who deemed Hamas an “existential threat” whose strategy is to “create their own civilians’ deaths and get the world to react,” in order to prevent the IDF from eliminating their military capabilities — “and it is working.”

He also accused those protesting Israel’s supposedly “disproportionate” response to Hamas of having “no understanding of war, the laws of war or how the world works,” and that the terror group would “slaughter” the protesters, if given the opportunity, “for not being radical Islamic followers.”

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, retired U.S. Army Major John Spencer, a world-renowned expert on urban combat who serves as chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute (MWI) at West Point, delved into the various warfare tactics at hand during the current Middle East conflict.

Spencer, a founding member the International Working Group on Subterranean Warfare, deemed the IDF’s activity against a plainclothes enemy embedded amongst civilians “very precise.”

“Of course, very costly,” he said. “But it’s not unlike any other urban battle I’ve seen.” (Read more from “World-Renowned Expert on Urban Combat: Hamas ‘Creating’ Civilian Deaths to Stir World Against IDF” HERE)

A ‘Nazi’: GOP Hopeful Has Strong Words for Ukraine’s Zelensky; Trump Rips GOP Debate During Rally

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. A series of questions on the war in Ukraine drew heated comments from multiple candidates onstage at Wednesday’s Republican presidential primary debate and led to a tense exchange between Vivek Ramaswamy and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.

Ramaswamy, pressed on if he supported additional funding for Ukraine as requested by President Joe Biden, said he was “absolutely unpersuaded” by pleas for aid from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“Ukraine is not a paragon of democracy,” he responded. “This is a country that has banned 11 opposition parties. It has consolidated all media into one state TV media arm. That’s not democratic. It has threatened not to hold elections this year unless the U.S. forks over more money.”

Ramaswamy proceeded to attack Zelensky as “a comedian in cargo pants” and all but insinuated the Ukrainian president, who is Jewish, is a “Nazi.” (Read more from “A ‘Nazi’: GOP Hopeful Has Strong Words for Ukraine’s Zelensky” HERE)

‘They’re Not Watchable’: Trump Rips GOP Debate During Rally

By Daily Caller. Former President Donald Trump criticized the third Republican presidential debate Wednesday, calling it “not watchable” during a rally in Hialeah, Florida.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and former Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey took part in a debate hosted by NBC News hosts Kristen Welker, Lester Holt and talk radio host Hugh Hewitt. Trump skipped the debate, as he did for the previous two debates, instead electing to hold a rally nearby as the GOP candidates faced off against each other.

“I think they’re at a debate tonight,” Trump said after discussing a New York Times poll showing him leading in multiple states Biden narrowly carried in 2020. “Nobody’s talking about it.”

“I was watching these guys. They’re not watchable,” Trump said. “You know, the last debate was the lowest rated debate in the history of politics. So therefore, do you think we did the right thing by not participating. Somebody said, one of the dumber ones, ‘He doesn’t have the courage to stand up.’ Well, listen, I’m standing in front of tens of thousands of people right now, and it’s on television. That’s a hell of a lot harder to do that then debate. That’s a hell of a lot harder.” (Read more from “‘They’re Not Watchable’: Trump Rips GOP Debate During Rally” HERE)

Angry Liberal Who Threatened GOP Poll Greeter Identified As Federal Employee

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Arlington liberal who went viral after losing it on a Republican poll greeter was identified Wednesday as “long-time federal contractor” Brendan Anthony Martin.

Opposition research group Marco Polo exposed Martin’s identity on Twitter using facial recognition tools. Martin allegedly works as a technical administrator for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ (HHS) foster care system, according to his LinkedIn found by the group.

However, according to the research group, this is not Martin’s first attempt at heckling Republicans.

In 2018, former President Donald Trump hosted a “Celebration of America” event after disinviting the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House. Martin was previously recorded by DailyMail not only attending the event but heckling Trump prior to his speech.

Ivanka Trump Denies Awareness of Decade-Old Financial Details in Father’s New York Civil Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ivanka Trump testified repeatedly that she could not recall documents and emails related to the Trump Organization when the state attorney general’s office confronted her about them during her father’s civil fraud trial in a lower Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday.

Former President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter spent hours on the witness stand, where she denied knowledge of “granular” financial details contained in the documents while undergoing both direct questioning from Attorney General Letitia James’s team and cross-examination from her father’s defense counsel.

Her consistently measured responses stood in contrast to Donald Trump’s contentious testimony from Monday when Judge Arthur Engoron scolded the former president for giving political “speeches” instead of answering questions directly.

Ivanka Trump’s appearance comes after James alleged in a sweeping complaint last year that Donald Trump, three of his adult children, and two business partners conspired to overstate his net worth by billions of dollars over several years to secure better interest rates on loans and other favorable financial terms.

U.S. Conducts Second Round of Retaliatory Airstrikes in Syria as Attacks on Troops Rises to 41

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. conducted a second round of retaliatory airstrikes at facilities used by Iran’s elite military and Iran-backed groups in Syria on Wednesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said in a statement.

Attacks by Iranian-backed militias on bases in Iraq and Syria hosting U.S. troops numbered 41 on Wednesday after at least one more was confirmed, Fox News reported. The retaliatory strikes marked the second time the U.S. has targeted facilities linked to Iran and its proxy militias since the wave of attempted drone and rocket attacks beginning on Oct. 17.

“This precision self-defense strike is a response to a series of attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by IRGC-Quds Force affiliates,” Austin said in the statement. “The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today’s action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests.”

Mainstream Outlets Had Photographers Embedded With Hamas as Terror Attack Unfolded: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Photographers from the Associated Press and Reuters appear to have been embedded with Hamas terrorists as they executed terrorist attacks against Israel on October 7, according to a new report from Honest Reporting, a media watchdog.

Photos posted by the news agencies of the surprise terrorist attack on Israel include ones showing terrorists breaking the gates to Kibbutz Kfar Aza, where residents were caught completely off guard and dozens were murdered. Photos also show that photographers were on the scene as terrorists took civilians such as Shani Louk hostage, and attacking Israeli tanks on the other side of the Gaza border.

The photos raise serious questions about whether the news agencies had advance knowledge that the terrorist attacks were taking place. The four individuals credited by the Associated Press for images of the attacks — Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali — are all photographers based in Gaza, where it was revealed in 2021 that the Associated Press shared office space with the terrorist group.

One of the photographers, Hassan Eslaiah, has reportedly been pictured getting kissed by a top Hamas operative who is said to be one of the chief architects of the deadly terrorist attacks, which killed over 1,400 and have led to a massive war with Israel.

Trump to U.S.-Hating, Jihadist-Celebrating Alien Residents: ‘We Will Find You, and We Will Deport You’

/0 Comments/in , /by

American-hating alien residents who have joined pro-jihadist protests and “became very violent and started destroying our Capitol and many other places” have been put “on notice” and will be deported, former President Donald Trump said during his counter-programming rally in Hialeah, Florida.

“In Washington, DC, pro-jihadist demonstrators climbed up the fence in front of the White House … they damaged the fence and they damaged police vehicles [and] desecrated statues of Ben Franklin and other great heroes of our country, and they shouted Allahu Akbar, while calling the barbaric Hamas terrorists martyrs,” Trump said, explaining that “in times like these, you can’t afford to have a president who wants to be politically correct.”

“We have to do things properly,” Trump said.

Trump said America cannot have an administration in place that takes foreign policy advice from the likes of Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

“But that’s a movement that’s growing,” Trump said, promising to restore the Trump travel ban on entry from terror-laden countries on “day one” in office. (Read more from “Trump to U.S.-Hating, Jihadist-Celebrating Alien Residents: ‘We Will Find You, and We Will Deport You’” HERE)

Republican Presidential Candidates Give Their Positions on Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

The five Republican presidential candidates who were at the third GOP primary debate on Wednesday night each gave their stances on how Israel should conduct its war against Hamas and what support the U.S. should provide. . .

The first candidate to be asked the question was Florida Governor Ron DeSantis since he was standing at center stage as the leading candidate at the debate.

“I would be telling [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu], finish the job once and for all with these butchers, Hamas,” he said. “They’re terrorists, they’re massacring innocent people, they would wipe every Jew off the globe if they could — he cannot live with that threat right by his country — that Hamas should release every hostage and they should unconditionally surrender.” . . .

Next to answer the question was former South Carolina Nikki Haley, who stood to DeSantis’ side as the second ranked candidate on stage.

“The first thing I said to him when it happened was I said, ‘finish them, finish them,’” she said. “And the reason is, I worked on this every day when I was at the United Nations. And we have to remember that they have to one, eliminate Hamas, two, support Israel with whatever they need whenever they need it, and three, make sure we bring our hostages home.”

House Republicans: Biden Plan To Turn U.S. Airports Into Migrant Camps Poses Major ‘Security Risks’ to Americans

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans are urging President Joe Biden’s Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, to reject reported plans that would see United States airports transformed into migrant camps for tens of thousands of illegal aliens.

A total of 70 House Republicans, led by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO), are asking Buttigieg to drop plans in which the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “has proposed housing 60,000 migrants at four public airports and various other facilities in New York and New Jersey,” they write:

These airports and their communities rightfully fear being transformed into larger versions of Chicago O’Hare International Airport, which has reportedly converted portions of its terminal into a shelter for hundreds of migrants. At a time when the Administration is proposing higher screening requirements on known airline crewmembers due to security risks, we are extremely concerned about the lack of regard for security risks posed by housing thousands of unknown persons at airports, many of which support passenger air service and host sensitive military facilities. [Emphasis added]

Indeed, as Breitbart News reported in September, the sanctuary city of Chicago, Illinois, started housing more than 400 border crossers and illegal aliens at the Chicago O’Hare International Airport in what a reporter called a scene from the dystopian film Mad Max.

The House Republicans — which include House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), House Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Garret Graves (R-LA), and Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) — tell Buttigieg they are “deeply disturbed” that the Biden administration is “allowing for and encouraging the use of our nation’s airport infrastructure as temporary shelters for illegal immigrants.” (Read more from “House Republicans: Biden Plan To Turn u.s.
