After months of fighting, Hamas had been forced to fall back to its stronghold in Rafah on the Egyptian border. And the pressure on Israel not to go into Rafah intensified. Not only AOC and Bernie Sanders, but Biden warned Israel not go in because of the “humanitarian impact”. Israel went in and brought out two hostages. After the previous hostage deal, Hamas supporters, including AOC, kept hammering home the claim that the only way to free the hostages is to cut a deal with Hamas. But cutting deals with terrorists just leads to more dead bodies and more hostages....

By now, you're aware that on Sunday afternoon, a deranged woman brought her young son and an AR-15 into Joel Osteen's Lakewood megachurch and opened fire. After the smoke cleared, the shooter, Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, had been killed by two off-duty officers. A 57-year-old man had taken a round in the leg; he was treated at a medical facility and released. And Moreno's seven-year-old son had been shot in the head. The boy remains in critical condition with a poor prognosis. It's unclear whether Moreno herself shot her child, but then, there are a lot of confusing details still...

When the Supreme Court ruled recently that the federal government could remove razor wire on the border between Texas and Mexico that was put in place by the state of Texas, it set off a legal, political, and even theological debate about the federalism and border policy. Despite the ruling, the state of Texas has said they will continue installing the wire, and several states have decided to send state troopers and members of the National Guard to Texas to help the effort. Yes, the federal government generally has had jurisdiction over what happens at our federal border, but we’ve...

President Biden on Tuesday slammed Republicans who voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, arguing that history will not look kindly on those lawmakers. After a failed first effort to impeach Mayorkas, House Republicans eked out a narrow 214-213 vote to impeach the first Cabinet official since the 1870s. “History will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games,” Biden said in a statement after the vote.

After the disclosure of the documentation, in Israel it is estimated: Sinwar is still out of touch. Anger in Gaza after the publication of Yahya Sinwar's documentation from the tunnel: "We are thrown into the garbage and they live in good conditions underground" • Israel has newer documents, which may be published later • According to what is known, Sinwar did not contact the mediators • American officials: "There is no breakthrough In the talks in Cairo, the release of the freedmen is the main problem" • In Israel they estimate: the threat of the invasion of Rafah brings the...

From Randy Nettles According to the article, 14 Things That Everyone Needs To Know About The Great American Eclipse Of 2024(themostimportantnews.com), the two solar eclipses of June 16, 1806, and Sept. 17, 1811, were a possible sign (or signs) that preceded the great earthquakes that occurred around the New Madrid fault line in the U.S. The first great earthquake occurred three months (90 days) from the Sept. 17, 1811 solar eclipse, on December 16, 1811. Other earthquakes followed in January and February of 1812. The 1806 eclipse was a total solar eclipse while the 1811 eclipse was an annular solar...

Sure, Brandon does more in one hour than most people do in a day, but filling up a diaper really shouldn't count. He's toast. Has two brain cells to rub together and they're gettin' worn out. Took the chicom bribes and sold secrets to this country's enemies. Gropin' Joe should be behind bars right now. How much longer can the criminal survive? One broken hip can end it all. Cash prizes should be awarded. Place yer bets.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office in Texas released body camera videos one week after a woman was shot by deputies after allegedly being mistaken for an intruder. On Feb. 3, deputies responded to a burglary at the Pines of Woodforest Apartments in the Cloverleaf area at about 2 a.m. The caller spoke with our sister station, ABC13 Eyewitness News in Houston, last week, saying he wishes he hadn't reported the suspected break-in, considering what happened next. "I was sitting on my couch, and I just started hearing glass breaking," Mitchell said. "I heard [the sheriff's office] knock on the door,...

News out today that Joe Biden will not take a cognitive test at his upcoming annual physical exam. That will surely reassure everyone. A number of observers suggested last week that Biden’s petulant declaration that “My memory is fine” appears set to take its place beside “I am not a crook,” “There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe,” and “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” in the annals of regrettable and possibly fatal presidential statements. But there’s one other Watergate parallel that has been less remarked: the non-denial denial. ... Matt Margolis notes over at PL...

Hi everyone. Freeper poobear contacted me by Freepmail. She lost her only child, Danielle. It happened on May 26, 2022. While it is a long time ago, it is clear that poobear is still in horrible grief and mourning. I ask that you lift prayers up for her, and for all affected, that they might find peace.

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday responded to President Trump’s emergency application requesting the high court pause the immunity ruling in Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC. Chief Justice Roberts on Tuesday responded to Trump’s emergency request and told Special Counsel Jack Smith he has a week to respond. The Supreme Court gave Jack Smith until Tuesday, February 20 to file a response to Trump’s request to pause the appellate court’s ruling on immunity. Last week a federal appeals court stacked with Biden judges denied Trump immunity in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 DC case. The three-judge panel...

NATO is expected to announce Wednesday that a majority of its members are set to hit their defense spending goals for 2024, days after former President Donald Trump told those who don’t pay their share that he wouldn’t protect them if re-elected. It is estimated that 18 of the 31 NATO members will hit their minimum goal of spending 2% of total gross domestic product on defense budgets for 2024, compared to roughly one-third of the alliance who hit that goal in 2023, according to three alliance officials who spoke to The Financial Times. Trump warned in a speech on...

This time, Republicans made sure they had the votes–just barely, as the resolution impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas passed the House by a single vote, 214-213, with three Republicans crossing over to vote against the resolution. Mayorkas thus becomes the first sitting cabinet-level official to be impeached in U.S. history.Democratic Party press outlets naturally denounced the impeachment as a political stunt, and so on. But for the most part, they have conspicuously failed to inform their readers what Mayorkas was impeached for. In my opinion, the articles of impeachment state a powerful case, itemizing a number of illegal actions...

“Comparing the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2023 shows 2.7 million more people working in the United States — 2.9 million more immigrants (legal and illegal) and 183,000 fewer U.S.-born Americans. Since the depths of the Covid Recession in 2020 employment has increased for both groups. But the number of U.S.-born workers has not made it back to the 2019 pre-Covid level. Equally important, the share of working-age, U.S.-born men without a bachelor’s not in the labor force deteriorated in the decades prior to 2019, and the rate in the fourth quarter of 2023 was lower...

House Republicans finally voted to impeach Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas exactly one week after their first attempt spectacularly failed. The two articles of impeachment accuse President Biden's top border official Mayorkas of failing to uphold immigration law and lying to Congress about the state of the U.S.-Mexico border. He is the first Cabinet official to be impeached in nearly 150 years and now faces a possible trial in the Democrat-controlled Senate, which is expected to acquit him. The measure passed by just one vote - 214 to 213 after three Republicans, Reps. Ken Buck, R-Colo., Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., and...

Children of immigrants born in Mayotte, the French overseas territory situated between Madagascar and the African mainland, will no longer automatically become French citizens, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said late on Sunday. "It will no longer be possible to become French if one is not the child of French parents", Darmanin told journalists upon his arrival on the island, announcing the scrapping of birthright citizenship there - a first in recent French history. Located close to the impoverished Comoro islands off the East African coast, the former French colony has become the centre of fierce social unrest, with many residents...

People, mostly newly arrived migrants, receive an afternoon meal from Trinity Services and Food For the Homeless, across from Tompkins Square Park on January 24, in New York City. Ad spending for the special election for New York's 3rd Congressional District has totaled more than $21 million as both parties have poured millions into the high-stakes race to succeed former Republican Rep. George Santos. Immigration has been the top issue on the airwaves, as campaigns and outside groups from both parties have produced a total of 14 unique TV ads about the topic and spent $12.4 million airing them, according...

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), in an exclusive interview with Sirius XM Breitbart News Daily on Tuesday, slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for the recent border bill “debacle,” saying that the leader did not even put on the negotiating table a provision to tie Ukraine aid to border metrics and that his “top priority” was Ukraine aid, not securing the border.

Vladimir Putin this week called for the "purification" of the motherland, urging his fellow Russians to spit out like gnats those who dare oppose him. If Putin’s war crimes against the Ukrainian people were not enough, this chilling speech should convince his remaining fans to look elsewhere for a savior. The Russian president took to the airwaves of Russia on Wednesday a bitter, and possibly beaten, man. Hunched over his microphone, he unleashed a tirade the likes of which has not been heard in Europe since Hitler or Stalin. Maudlin in parts, vengeful in others, the Russian tyrant played the...
