Hamas is obligated, as part of the U.S.-brokered cease-fire agreement, to return all hostages it has held in Gaza, including both the living and dead. While Hamas turned over all of the living hostages, there have been delays in returning the remains of all 28 hostages believed to be deceased at the start of this latest cease-fire.
While Grokipedia content is being created by AI, Wikipedia content is written by millions of volunteer contributors, whose sourcing is limited by an official color-coded list of sites given grades such as "generally reliable" (green) or "generally unreliable" (red). Hardcore leftist outlets Mother Jones and the SPLC get the top green rating, as do MSNBC and CNN. Fox News gets a middling yellow "marginally reliable" rating, while ZeroHedge is red due to "propagation of conspiracy theories." Antiwar.com, which we've found to be exceedingly well-sourced while observing high journalistic standards, is also off-limits.
According to the report, China is expected to commit to more controls on the export of precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl. In return, the U.S. could cut its 20% fentanyl-related tariff on Chinese goods by as much as 10%, the people said.
Welcome to the new "normal" in Europe, where a 15-year-old girl is terrified to take the bus or go running alone due to mass immigration...She directly blames IPAS centers, short for International Protection Accommodation Service, which are migrant accommodations sprouting up across Ireland. She also expresses her worries about future centers being built in her area.
It should be recalled that, in the case of SLAM, the nuclear ramjet had no shielding to contain dangerous radiation, a requirement driven by the need for the powerplant to be small enough to fit inside the missile. The SLAM’s exhaust plume also contained unspent fissile material that would have contaminated any area, enemy-controlled or not, that it passed over on its way to the target.
While the Burevestnik has already been likened to a ‘tiny flying Chernobyl’ by some observers, it’s important to remember that we still don’t know how it functions.
Nevertheless, provided it does indeed use nuclear propulsion, as claimed, there exists the risk of accidents.
Gen. Gerasimov additionally described that no other nation in the world has such a 'unique' weapon which is practically invincible. "It is undetectable by conventional radar and can only be tracked by specialized spacecraft during the launch and acceleration phases," Russian media has additionally claimed.
The Burevestnik project was first publicly disclosed during initial development by President Putin in 2018, when he said that a one-of-a-kind weapon with unlimited range and extreme maneuverability was being worked on.
Argentina's bonds, currency, and equities surged early Monday after President Javier Milei's party secured a crucial midterm victory. The result is key to preserving Milei's sweeping economic reset in a country crushed by decades of nation-killing socialist mismanagement.
Milei's free-market reforms and aggressive austerity program have already begun to cool inflation and stabilize financial conditions, signaling to investors that the restructuring path remains intact.
The decentralized anti-fascist warriors in the Portland-area cell, aligned with the radical Democratic Party, were in full retreat overnight after officers from the Portland Police Department cleared out their encampment in front of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the Portland metro area.
On Saturday, the last cooling towers of a German nuclear power plant were demolished in Gundremmingen, Bavaria. Germany thus continues, symbolically and materially, its isolated energy policy path. Even the increasingly dramatic economic situation seems unable to shake the German spirit.
one of the greatest deceptions of all time and one of the greatest cover ups too. the majority of people still roll up their sleeves for whatever injection the doctor recommends
On May 1, Dallas and Tyson, fraternal 18-month-old twins, were found dead by their mother after receiving the Hepatitis A, flu and DTaP vaccines on April 23. The mother told the pediatrician that the family of the twins’ father had a history of allergic reactions to the flu vaccine, but the pediatrician said it would be OK to give the shot to the babies anyway.
Not that science will change anything, but people who think they are "saving lives" with vaccine mandates for kids to attend school are both delusional and anti-science.
If passed, the State Bill 188 would allow the state to systematically collect data necessary to determine whether vaccines may be linked to unexpected deaths in young people, according to the bill’s author, Maija Hahn, chapter leader for Children’s Health Defense Florida.
Bolton abused his position as National Security Advisor by sharing more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities as the National Security Advisor—including information relating to the national defense which was classified up to the TOP SECRET/SCI level—with two unauthorized individuals,” federal prosecutors allege in the indictment.
The Montana Supreme Court upheld the police's warrantless entry. Apparently, the government's "reasonable suspicion" that Treavor Case might need "help" was sufficient to justify an armed warrantless intrusion into his home. That standard is alarmingly low. The Fourth Amendment requires probable cause and judicial approval before government agents may enter a home. It does not permit entry based on a hunch.
“Anyone who actively obstructs law enforcement in the performance of their sworn duties or assaults law enforcement, including U.S. citizens, will face consequences,” DHS posted on X.
Earlier this month, Apple removed two apps that were helping users track and avoid ICE agents after the Trump administration issued legal threats.
Victims were promised the chance to gamble alongside NBA greats - with the former pro athletes known as 'face cards' while the victims were referred to as 'fish,' according to Nocella.
"What the victims, the fish, didn’t know, is that everybody else at the poker game, from the dealer to the players – including the face cards – were in on the scam," said Nocella. "Once the game was underway, the defendants fleeced the victims out of tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars per game."
“Given President [Vladimir] Putin’s refusal to end this senseless war, Treasury is sanctioning Russia’s two largest oil companies that fund the Kremlin’s war machine. Treasury is prepared to take further action if necessary to support President Trump’s effort to end yet another war. We encourage our allies to join us in and adhere to these sanctions.”
“Everytime I speak with Vladimir I have good conversations and then they don’t go anywhere. They just don’t go anywhere,” Trump told reporters during his meeting with Rutte.
Tuberville notably defended keeping the filibuster after Republicans won control of the Senate in last year's election, while other GOP senators are predicting that President Trump will start pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to change the Senate rules if the shutdown continues into next month - a move Thune has explicitly said he opposes.
Even CNN admits that this time is different, with polling numbers shifting far more in Trump's favor during the current shutdown fight. Trump has learned to anticipate Democrat disinformation methods (their denials about healthcare subsidies for illegals have been effectively exposed), and with far fewer insiders in a position to undermine his policies, the administration is less likely to fold and give Dems what they want.
The Ballroom will eliminate the need for temporary tents on the South Lawn during state dinners and other major functions—tents that Trump has long criticized as “unsightly” and impractical during inclement weather.
“There was no impact to any movements and no individuals were present or involved at the location,” Guglielmi told Fox News, noting that Secret Service agents found the stand before the president was due to arrive in Palm Beach.
Though he may be unpopular with a particular strain of MAGA Republicans who put pure obedience to Trump above principles like limited government, fiscal responsibility, a non-interventionist foreign policy and fidelity to the Constitution, Massie has built a large national following of people who think he represents the conservative ideal. Trump's launch of the anti-Massie PAC has spurred those followers to open up their checkbooks, with Massie posting his best-ever fundraising quarter, racking up $768,000 from July to September.
Three other European officials briefed on the White House discussions confirmed that Trump had spent much of the meeting lecturing Zelenskyy, repeating Putin’s arguments about the conflict and urging him to accept the Russian proposal....Trump told Fox News on Sunday that he was confident about securing an end to the conflict, and added that Putin is “going to take something, he’s won certain property”.
Trump had given a strong hint on where he stands when just before the two leaders' working lunch when he declared he wants to resolve the war "without thinking about Tomahawks" and additionally that the weapon is one America "needs".
After 12 years, Beijing’s four major defenses against the Belt and Road “debt trap” argument are dispelled.
The 12th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (also called One Belt, One Road) was last month. Amid ongoing accusations that it is a debt trap, the Lowy Institute think tank reported that 75 developing nations now face severe debt crises driven by massive repayments to China.
Chicago, and New York City.
The protests’ official sponsors, or “partners,” include the American Civil Liberties Union, Human Rights Campaign, MoveOn.org, People for the American Way, and an array of labor unions, according to the website.
In recent years, however, another factor appears to have skewed the FBI data: the breakdown of law enforcement in this country. When people believe police won’t catch or prosecutors won’t punish criminals, they’re simply less likely to report crimes. Between 2010 and 2019, victims reported 63.3% of violent crimes to police. In the last three years, that number plummeted to 48.8%. Arrests fell as well—from 26.5% before COVID-19 to just 16.6% afterward.
Officials in several states boosted security ahead of today's 'peaceful' protests - with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin activating the National Guard to support police "to help keep Virginians safe," and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordering state troopers and guard members to Austin - where he says an "antifa-linked" protest was about to go down.
Little do these white boomers know, the "No Kings" movement, supposedly against "kings and billionaires", is, in reality, funded by leftist billionaire kings themselves. In truth, No Kings is bankrolled by far-left foundations backed by the same billionaire class that has been waging a political war against President Trump since his first term. Essentially, one faction of billionaires hates another, so their woke non-profit soldiers create a front group, brand it "No Kings," and bankroll an army of paid protesters and unhinged left-wing activists. This is America in 2025: the permanent protest-industrial complex of hate and chaos, financed by the left.
Wen-Ti Sung, a fellow at the Atlantic Council's Global China Hub, has been quoted in US media as saying, "Xi is cleaning house for sure. The formal removal of He and Miao means he will get to appoint new members of the Central Military Commission - which has been virtually half empty since March - at the Plenum."
Fresh violence has gripped Gaza City, where Hamas forces clashed with the powerful Doghmush clan in the Sabra neighborhood, leaving at least 27 dead in one of the bloodiest internal fights since Israeli troops pulled back. The skirmishes broke out Sunday amid accusations that the clan collaborated with Israel, sparking a brutal raid by Hamas militants.
Russia in its latest salvo launched another major missile and drone attack on Ukraine, specifically targeting its energy grid, involving over 300 strike drones and 37 ballistic missiles.
Following this, and amid existent rolling blackouts and power woes, Ukraine's national grid operator NEC Ukrenergo has announced Thursday it must introduce power restrictions across the country.
One America News (OAN) was a significant network that did sign it.
According to the NY Times, the request for a Pentagon press badge went from signing one page of rules/policy to a whopping 21-pages detailing what reporters can and can't do:
The new rules codify sharp limitations on access and raise the prospect of punishment — including revocation of credentials — for simply requesting information on matters of public interest. Lawyers representing national news organizations have been negotiating for weeks with Pentagon officials over the strictures.
The Montana Supreme Court upheld the police's warrantless entry. Apparently, the government's "reasonable suspicion" that Treavor Case might need "help" was sufficient to justify an armed warrantless intrusion into his home. That standard is alarmingly low. The Fourth Amendment requires probable cause and judicial approval before government agents may enter a home. It does not permit entry based on a hunch.
And it was not as if obtaining a warrant would have been difficult. A recent Harvard Law Review study found that 93 percent of warrants are approved on first submission, often in less than three minutes. With modern technology, police can draft and submit warrant requests directly from their phones. The officers in Montana had nearly an hour to seek judicial approval. They chose not to.
Israel restricted aid into Gaza and kept the enclave’s border shut on Tuesday while re-emergent Hamas fighters demonstrated their grip by executing men in the street, darkening the outlook for U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war.
A judge will temporarily halt the Trump administration's federal worker layoffs sparked by the government shutdown.
The lawsuit claims the administration unlawfully used the shutdown for staff cuts.
Thousands face layoffs or furloughs, with agencies like Commerce and Education affected.
Six months after his removal from the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), Peter Marks has officially joined Eli Lilly — the same company now scooping up former FDA officials like trading cards
Flight delays and cancellations are rising as 10% of air traffic controllers call in sick during the U.S. government shutdown, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
In his announcement on Truth Social, Trump said the commutation is a corrective measure.
“George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated,” Trump said. “Good luck George, have a great life.”
Santos reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey, a minimum security facility, on July 25. If released immediately, as is expected, he will have served around three months.
"Russian troops with concealed faces and unmarked uniforms have appeared at Estonia's border, echoing tactics used at Ukraine's borders in 2014," the same report claims. Estonian officials are hyping the as yet undefined threat as a "clear danger". But it does seem that someone on the Russian side was sending a 'message'.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pushing for mandatory nutrition education in medical schools, emphasizing its importance in preventing chronic diseases.
Kennedy argues that future physicians must learn to prescribe diets alongside medications to combat diet-related illnesses, which claim over a million American lives annually.
Current data shows many medical schools provide minimal nutrition instruction.
in 2012-13 the Obama administration helped its Sunni allies Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar provide arms to Syrian and non-Syrian armed groups to force President Bashar al-Assad out of power. And in 2013 the administration began to provide arms to what the CIA judged to be “relatively moderate” anti-Assad groups—meaning they incorporated various degrees of Islamic extremism.
That policy, ostensibly aimed at helping replace the Assad regime with a more democratic alternative, has actually helped build up al Qaeda’s Syrian franchise al Nusra Front into the dominant threat to Assad.
For many years during the height of the war in Syria, Russian jets pummeled the Al-Qaeda/Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) enclave of Idlib province. Even some US officials admitted it was the biggest single concentration of Al-Qaeda terrorists in the world (yet the CIA had a significant role in helping them oust it from government forces in the first place).
A growing list of news organizations with access to Pentagon briefings have formally rejected a new Defense Department (or Dept of War) policy that would require journalists to sign a pledge promising not to seek unauthorized materials and limiting their access to certain areas unless accompanied by an official. In essence it's part of the continuing crackdown on leaks.
Trump's move last Friday to threaten Beijing with an additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods, in response to China's sweeping new export controls on rare earths and ahead of a planned Trump-Xi meeting later this month, signals that both sides are trying to gain as much leverage as possible before the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in South Korea.
"OMB is making every preparation to batten down the hatches and ride out the Democrats’ intransigence," the White House Office of Management and Budget wrote Tuesday on X. "Pay the troops, pay law enforcement, continue the RIFs, and wait."
The California law will now take effect on July 1, 2026, “[banning] the sale of new Glock-brand pistols and Glock-style clones.” In my view, it is unconstitutional under prior Supreme Court precedent.
Democrats previously called for banning “Glock switches” that can be affixed to the rear of a Glock slide to make the pistol shoot full auto. However, such switches are already unlawful. They are now going after the gun itself, confirming the objections of gun rights groups that such early bans were moves to lay the foundation to ban semiautomatic weapons generally.
This marks the second time in a week that the the Feodosia facility has been struck and gone up in flames. Importantly, it is Crimea's largest oil storage and transshipment hub, with a capacity of around 250,000 tons.
Washington is one of a handful of Democrat-run states that have pushed back against President Trump’s executive order banning biological males from competing in women’s sports.
On a historic day, Hamas has released all remaining Israeli hostages following two years of war. Twenty in total have been released, with an initial seven handed over in the first wave, followed by 13 more. Twenty-eight additional deceased captives are expected being returned, though there are reports that only four of the deceased have been transferred back to Israel at this point.
In return, 250 Palestinian prisoners serving long and life sentences are now being released from Israeli prisons as part of the first phase of the US-brokered deal. Additionally, over 1,700 Palestinians being held without charge are to be released.
The envelope bore official Chinese postal markings indicating it either originated from China or was returned from China—at the same time that pro-Beijing actors have stepped up their campaign to target and threaten The Epoch Times.
President Trump's latest roundtable on ANTIFA wasn't just a political statement — it was a long-overdue reckoning against rising far-left political violence. For years, journalists and citizens alike have watched America's streets burn, our cities vandalized, and our law enforcement vilified under banners of "resistance." But as the President's meeting revealed, ANTIFA is only one mask worn by a much larger monster — a transnational network of NGOs, foreign financiers, and ideological operatives quietly fueling what Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute called "Riot Inc."
The U.S. remains dangerously dependent on China, the world's largest producer of rare earths, for these critical minerals that are essential inputs into the manufacturing of drones, humanoid robots, EVs, and advanced weaponry.
Anduril Industries founder Palmer Luckey sat down with Bloomberg on Friday to discuss how America's defense supply chains are dangerously reliant on China. He said the U.S. must urgently "reindustrialize" and rebuild its capacity to produce rare earths, semiconductors, and advanced computing hardware domestically if it wants to survive the 2030s.
To give a sense of just how vast the outage was, Ukrainian energy firm DTEK later said it was able to restore power to over 240,000 households in the region, but with many more still in need of help.
Just within the 24-hour prior, the Kyiv area also experienced rare blackouts, along with many other regions, after a key electrical generation plant was directly struck by either missiles or drones.
The Trump administration revealed in a late-Friday court filing that the White House has begun laying off more than 4,000 federal employees as the government shutdown entered its 10th day. Unlike standard temporary furloughs, these moves are permanent layoffs. The decision has infuriated Democrats, who called it politically motivated and "illegal," while conservatives praised it as a long-promised effort to trim the bloated federal bureaucracy (continued DOGE-related efforts).
A video posted on social media shows Chicago residents warmly greeting U.S. Border Patrol agents who are deployed to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers rounding up criminal aliens. The welcome stands in sharp contrast to the actions by organized anti-ICE radicals.
Hegseth proclaimed at a signing ceremony alongside Qatari Minister of Defense Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the Pentagon that he is "proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force Facility at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho."
This marks a departure from President Joe Biden’s practice since 2021 of issuing dual proclamations that observed both Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Oct. 13.
“The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine,” Patel said. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence.”
“That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership,” Patel added.
This summer, the SPLC added Kirk’s Turning Point USA to the “hate map.” It remains unclear whether this may have inspired Robinson, and the SPLC condemned the assassination, but it has not removed Turning Point from the map.
The SPLC has refused to add Antifa, Black Lives Matter, or vandals targeting churches and pro-life pregnancy centers to the “hate map.”
At this point, it feels like every week brings another revelation about how far the Biden regime went to weaponize the government against its political enemies. And the American people are exhausted… not from outrage, but from watching bombshell after bombshell drop with no accountability. They’ve seen enough corruption to fill a 10-story library but still haven’t seen a single perp walk. So, the fatigue is real, and it’s justified.
US equity markets are tumbling following comments from President Trump threatening “a massive increase of tariffs on Chinese products” being imported into the US, accusing China of becoming “hostile” due to their export controls

The Washington Examiner reported, the Employment Policies Institute found California has lost nearly 20,000 fast-food jobs since Newsom’s law took effect.
That’s one-quarter of all fast-food job losses nationwide.
After a whistleblower alerted The Defender, an OSHA spokesperson confirmed an internal directive telling healthcare employers not to report or track COVID-19 vaccine injuries. OSHA removed the policy from its website after inquiries from The Defender. Critics said the directive concealed the scope of vaccine injuries and made it difficult for injured workers to obtain workers’ compensation or disability benefits.
The [American Bar Association] long ago ceased to promote best practices for legal education—leading my colleague at The Heritage Foundation and me to call for federal and state actions to end the ABA’s accreditation monopoly.
In April, President Donald Trump issued an executive order explicitly criticizing the ABA’s accrediting arm for its problematic DEI practices
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned after less than a month in office on Monday and less than 24 hours after naming a new government that prompted a key coalition ally to withdraw support.
The move deepened the country’s political crisis and left President Emmanuel Macron with few options.
The outfit is also demanding mandatory registration, forced “evaluations” of homeschoolers by authorities, compulsory “home visits,” and much more.
In fact, the agency is even calling for U.N.-approved values and attitudes to be imposed on children across a wide array of issues, with U.N. control of “education content.”
Trump’s Gaza peace deal included Israel’s withdrawal to an agreed line, a suspension of all military operations in Gaza, and the release of 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences, along with 1,700 Gazans detained after Hamas’s October 2023 terrorist attack on Israel.
“Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza,” the agreement reads.
According to GAI's findings, the chaos now gripping cities like Portland, Chicago, and Los Angeles — especially the recent waves of anti-ICE violence — isn't spontaneous. It's organized, coordinated, and funded.
Bruner's new research maps how progressive philanthropic networks intersect with activist groups that have escalated from demonstrations to riots. The report highlights how complex webs of charitable entities, donor-advised funds, and online platforms provide cover for financing activism that sometimes crosses into criminal behavior.
The masked rioters assault anyone in their way. They count on exemption from punishment for committing violence against federal officers through the goodwill or indifference of kindred local and state officials who hate the Trump administration more than they respect the law. An Orwellian scenario follows in which federal officers are attacked by Antifa, which in turn counts on the non-intervention of local police.
There are reports that a large fire has broken out in Novosibirsk at a factory that manufactures electronics and microchips for the Russian defense industry.
It's unclear whether a drone from Ukraine was behind the blaze, or whether it was a sabotage incident, or possibly an accident, which the cause of the fire being under investigation. The location is in southern Siberia.
On Monday evening, authorities in Western Siberia's Tyumen region said they downed three drones near an industrial and oil refinery site in what marks furthest known Ukrainian drone incursion reported inside Russian territory since the start of the war.
The leading candidate to replace Gavin Newsom in California's upcoming gubernatorial election threw a complete tantrum during an interview because she was asked how she'd appeal to the 40% of residents who voted for Trump.
Hamas wants Turkish troops to deploy to Gaza to guarantee the ceasefire, but the two Arab officials and a former senior US official said Israel objects to a Turkish presence.
Baltimore residents in Federal Hill say Mayor Brandon Scott owes them answers after revelations that his new city-issued SUV cost taxpayers $163,495 – including nearly $65,000 in upgrades including police lights, sirens and a security microphone.
“Not the taxpayers’ money! If he wants it for himself, yeah. But not with our money,” said Christian Heath
Residents in crime-ridden Baltimore City, controlled by leftists, are demanding answers after Mayor Brandon Scott received a new taxpayer-funded luxury SUV outfitted with almost every bell and whistle, including fancy lights, sirens, and a security microphone.
Fox Baltimore reports that Mayor Scott's new city-issued Jeep Grand Wagoneer costs in excess of $163,000, which includes $65,000 in upgrades.
An FBI document obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) shows that the FBI, under Joe Biden, spied on 8 Republican senators as part of its Arctic Frost investigation.
Democrats are in a panic today after Axios reported a leaked memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) which challenges a 2019 law widely interpreted to guarantee back pay to furloughed employees during a government shutdown.
Several significant developments this week have paved the way for more likely US military escalation off the coast of and in Venezuela, at a moment of unprecedented numbers of Pentagon assets parked in the Caribbean.
First, President Trump has called off diplomatic efforts to reach an agreement with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, The New York Times reported Monday. The president called his special envoy, Richard Grenell, who had been leading the efforts to negotiate with Maduro, informing him the US halting all diplomatic outreach with the Venezuelan government.
This law has already come up in lawsuits from California, Oregon, and Illinois and could resurface depending on how state and local governments respond to future deployments.
Here are some of the key things to know about the battle over National Guard deployments to Portland, Ore., Chicago, Memphis, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.
Odessa regions, were also struck in waves of attacks which involved some 50 missiles and 500 drones. On Monday it appears Ukraine's forces answered back, as long-range drones scored hits on a major Russian ammunition plant, and yet another oil terminal, as well as a key weapons depot behind the front line
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and its partners have arrested 8,629 individuals across the United States as part of its “Summer Heat” campaign, the agency said in an Oct. 2 statement.
Syrian religious minorities and women will be underrepresented in Syria's new parliament following an election that was tightly controlled by self-appointed Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and in which the Syrian public was not allowed to vote.
Three years ago, RealClearInvestigations reported that the FBI was undercounting the number of armed civilians who had thwarted active shooters by a factor of three.
Even though the FBI acknowledged the issue at the time, it never corrected the error involving the politically fraught issue. In the years since, the problem has only gotten worse.
The Israeli military in an official statement said it had been ordered to "advance readiness" for implementing the first stage of Trump’s plan. Army radio noted that military operations in Gaza would be scaled back to "the minimum" - but what have been dubbed defensive strikes will continue. Prime Minister Netanyahu says the hostages will be freed in days.
Takaichi, 64, a staunch conservative and vocal China hawk, defeated her moderate rival Shinjiro Koizumi by 185 votes to 156 in a runoff at LDP headquarters in Tokyo. The victory makes her Japan’s first female party president and, almost certainly, its first female prime minister since the LDP remains the largest bloc in parliament and opposition parties are too fragmented to mount a united challenge.
The firefight took place as "agents were reportedly performing a routine patrol in Broadview, a suburb of Chicago." No agents were injured in the incident, and "the woman involved drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds."
"Today in Chicago, members of our brave law enforcement were attacked—rammed and boxed in by ten vehicles, including an attacker with a semi-automatic weapon," wrote DHS Secretary Kristi Noem
An ebullient Babis, also known as the Czech Trump - for being a septuagenarian billionaire campaigning on a populist message and passing out red caps to ardent supporters - told supporters that ANO would seek a one-party cabinet but would talk with two small parties - including the far-right SPD - for support as his party will lack an outright majority. He again rejected accusations that his win would make the central European nation a less reliable European Union and NATO partner.
The SIM networks were put in place and are managed by China’s Ministry of State Security, an ultra-secretive, massive espionage agency that has grown in prominence and global activity in recent years, according to the journal China Leadership Monitor.

Despite fresh warnings from President Vladimir Putin issued the day prior at the Valdai summit in Sochi, Ukrainian drones have once again targeted two major industrial facilities deep inside Russia overnight - an oil refinery in the Orenburg region and a chemical plant in the Perm region - regional officials announced Friday.
By early Friday, Musk, whose fortune briefly hit a half-trillion dollars earlier this week, told followers, "Netflix is deliberately choosing to pay people to create sexualized content for children. Freedom of speech should be respected, but this is PAID speech. Netflix is going out of their way and reaching into their wallet to push this."
"This is straight off the Federal Register. Now ask yourself why Wikipedia doesn't mention the Soros Foundation."
She added, "And fun fact -- Soros had further grants for these graduates of the Muskie fellowship program. Hard to interpret this as something other than using our taxpayer funds to educate his minions."
The journalist said Antifa "threw multiple punches at me. They broke my camera by hitting that. So I was on the ground at that point. I tried to swing. I missed. I think I have every right to swing on somebody that has got me on the ground after punching me and after breaking my equipment."
Yet, the Portland Police Bureau arrested the journalist, not the Antifa woke warriors who despise free speech, instead promote a communist-inspired agenda.
The question of providing Tomahawks still remains an open one, and the Kremlin has said it would be "surprised" if the White House allowed such a serious escalation. Still, J.D. Vance early this week said the administration is seriously looking at the European request.
At the start of each decade, the federal government tallies who's living in the country and where, citizens and non-citizens alike. That census data determines how many seats in the House of Representatives each state receives, as well as its share of Electoral College votes for president. This whole process is mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution, the part most focused on proper representation.
In other words, it is a crime to exercise free speech. In this case, the “unacceptable abuse” was offering to speak with other women about abortion.
The United Kingdom shows how limiting speech can create an insatiable appetite for greater and greater speech controls.
‘The red flag of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is not a symbol of culture; it is the emblem of a brutal, totalitarian regime,’ a local association stated.
"I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent.

Likely, there were a lot of unhappy generals and admirals sitting there for a speech which would have been captured in a standard weekly chain-of-command email. After all, some flew from far-flung bases across the seas for a pep talk on PT standards, which is actually typical boilerplate stuff for pretty much every enlisted Friday briefing and muster at most military bases and units across the DoD
Just The News is reporting that “Person 3” in the Comey indictment is not former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe but rather Columbia Professor Daniel Richman. According to the outlet, Richman is the former FBI employee in the indictment who allegedly leaked information about “Person 1,” who is believed to be Hillary Clinton.
At least 24 people were put into the program for being associated with a group the protested mask mandates, and 12 were placed on a watch list for removing their masks in-flight. The latter act was described in one memo as being “an act of extreme recklessness in carrying out an act that represents a threat to the life of passengers and crew”;
The operation would aim to pressure the Kurdish group into accepting the agreement signed with Damascus in March this year. Recent days have seen a significant buildup of both Syrian army forces and SDF troops in eastern Aleppo.
At least two people were killed and nine others wounded in a shooting Sunday at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, police said.
Authorities reported that the gunman slammed into the church with a mid-size truck during a service, opened fire, and then set a blaze that engulfed the building.
Police said that more victims may be found once it is safe to re-enter the area.
Officers exchanged gunfire with the suspect, killing him. He was identified as a 40-year-old man from Michigan, but no name has been released, nor has an official motive been disclosed.
Shooting comes as members mourned the death of Russell M. Nelson, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Grand Blanc Township Police Chief said authorities will execute a search warrant at the suspect's residence and comb through cell records to "find out if there was a motive."
