Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, urged Israel on Tuesday to set a clear time limit for the Islamist terror organization to release all remaining Israeli and international hostages held in the Gaza Strip. Yousef, who has become a vocal opponent of Hamas, even urged Israel to kill Hamas leaders, including his own father, if the terror organization does not release the hostages. Yousef, who said he understands the Hamas mentality better than most people on the outside, emphasizes that neither Israel nor the international community can afford to release the "mass murderers" held in...

Latt, 33, was fatally shot by an intruder at around 6 p.m., said Los Angeles Police. Paramedics took him to a nearby hospital, where he died of his injuries.

GAZA — In an effort to keep up positive relations amid the ongoing violent conflict between Israel and Hamas, President Joe Biden authorized an emergency airdrop to resupply the terrorists with fresh hostages. "We received an urgent message from Hamas that they were running critically low on hostages," said history-making White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who is gay and black. "As always with this administration, providing aid and assistance in any way we can is a top priority. In this case, we have sent a cargo plane full of civilians, including women and children, to resupply Hamas with the...

Burton was so close to completing his film, his team was able to...

With one of the oldest model nameplates still rolling around, the 2025 Chevrolet Suburban SUV doesn't do much to rock that boat. Only mildly refreshed, it remains gigantic and boxy—the longer-wheelbase version of the Tahoe. Upgrades include an improved diesel option and a more modernized interior. All of the Suburban's six trims benefit from an updated front fascia with slimmer DRLs. Premier and High Country Suburbans get new walk-up and walk-away light animations as standard. Plus, Chevy is introducing two new exterior colors: Lakeshore Blue Metallic and Cypress Gray. Finally, new and optional 24-inch wheels can be fitted to RST...

Pro-Palestinian protesters confronted Hillary Clinton outside her class at Columbia University in New York City on Wednesday, amid the Israel-Hamas war. Video shared on X shows Clinton walking past a common area of Columbia University's International Affairs Building as demonstrators chant, "Hillary, Hillary you can’t hide, you are supporting genocide." The protest, staged outside the lecture, was said to have disrupted a class taught by the former first lady and secretary of state called "Inside the Situation Room." According to the video shared by BreakThrough News, Clinton, also a former senator from New York, does not appear to engage with...

Hillary Clinton took a shot at former President Trump on Wednesday over a report suggesting that he and his campaign believe the Republican can present himself as being in the middle on the issue of abortion. “He thinks women are going to fall for this?” Clinton said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Trump appointed three justices to the Supreme Court who were part of the majority that overturned the Roe v. Wade decision in 2022.

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office responded to testimony by a Deutsche Bank executive that could have torpedoed her civil fraud case against Trump. Radical Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in ‘damages’ when there is no victim in this fraud case and she is also seeking to ban Trump and his sons from operating any businesses in New York. She accused Trump of inflating his assets and defrauding lenders and insurance companies. A Deutsche Bank executive who worked to approve at least one of Trump’s loans testified on Tuesday that it is “atypical,...

TOPLINE Pirola, or BA.2.86, is the third most prevalent Covid strain in the U.S., and although there may be concerns the new monovalent vaccines—which protect against the XBB lineage that Pirola isn’t a part of—don’t offer protection against Pirola and its subvariants, drugmakers and the CDC are sure the vaccines offer defense. Pirola made up 8.8% of cases as of November 25, almost triple the number of cases the variant made up during the previous two-week period ending on November 11, when Pirola wasn’t even one of the top five most prevalent variants, according to data from the Centers for...

It wasn't police violence — it was a homeless California woman, authorities say. Michael Latt, a 33-year-old Hollywood consultant and activist known for promoting social justice causes, died Monday after 36-year-old Jameelah Elena Michl allegedly broke into his home and allegedly shot him in the head, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Michl was allegedly stalking another woman and targeted Latt because he was her friend, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon's office revealed Thursday. She allegedly knocked on the door, forced her way through when the occupants answered, and gunned down Latt with a semiautomatic handgun in his...

TALLAHASSEE — A company owned by Craig Mateer, an Orlando entrepreneur, GOP megadonor and gubernatorial appointee, was paid $75,000 in September to provide travel to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, federal campaign reports show. That pales in comparison with the $1.6 million in travel expenses covered by a company associated with Scott Wagner, a South Florida lawyer and longtime friend of DeSantis who was reappointed to the South Florida Water Management District. DeSantis has a well-documented track record of appointing big political donors to government positions where they preside over multimillion-dollar budgets, make spending and policy decisions, award contracts, and...

The town hall is set to take place Tuesday, one day before the next Republican presidential primary debate. The New York Times reported the town hall will be held in Davenport, Iowa. Trump will not attend next Wednesday’s debate and will instead hold a private fundraiser in Florida.

On what political propositions are Americans apparently agreed? There are two. The first is that the President currently in the White House should be replaced. Not by being tossed out on last February's impeachment rap, but replaced when his term finally ends. The second proposition is that no presidential candidate currently striving to succeed the incumbent is an exhilarating alternative. What's the problem? If the incumbent is so bad, shouldn't we be enthusiastic about at least one of the contenders? After all, there are two Democrats out there to choose from, and six Republicans. So whom are the American people...

Republican Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy recently sat down for an interview with me in what is Ramaswamy’s most politically combative interview to date. Ramaswamy makes the case in the interview that America is in a state of war, not with foreign countries, but with ourselves. The country, he notes, seems for many—left and right—to have two regimes or two societies that have radically different, perhaps unbridgeable understandings of what constitutes a just society. As Ramaswamy puts it: “We are absolutely in a [Cold Civil War] with the fate of the country at stake. And you had better know it…Either you...

People who claimed “it doesn’t hurt you” or “why do you care?” were hoping that regular individuals would ignore the situation until it becomes too difficult to stop. The evidence of people being punished for not accepting the false idea is why regular people are concerned.
