The remains of the final Israeli hostage being held in Gaza has finally been recovered following a dramatic last-ditch effort, Israel said Monday — well over two years after the Israel-Hamas war broke out. Police officer Ran Gvili’s body was located and identified following a “large-scale operation” in a cemetery in northern Gaza over the weekend, according to Israel’s Defense Force. “There are officially no more hostages in captivity in Gaza,” the IDF confirmed in statement in X. Gvili’s body will now be returned to his family in the Jewish state for burial, officials said. Israeli teams started combing through...

Her name is Amelia, a purple-haired “goth girl” who proudly carries a mini union flag and appears to have a penchant for racism. If you are unfamiliar with Amelia, the chances are you...

Kristen Stewart is eyeing a move out of the United States due to President Donald Trump. The "Twilight" actress revealed in an interview with The Times that she's cultivating her directorial career around being able to create films in Europe because she "can't work freely" in America. Her directorial debut, "The Chronology of Water," was shot in Lativia as "it would have been impossible to do in the States." Stewart added that Trump's threat of tariffs on movies made outside the country is "terrifying" for the film industry. "Reality is breaking completely under Trump," she said. "But we should take...

So much for insensitivity and heartlessness, every time Republicans try to do this. Senate Democrats recently signaled that they would be willing to shut down much of the government—again—rather than vote for a package that includes funds for immigration enforcement. This seems a bit tone deaf, as securing the border and immigration enforcement were two of the main reasons President Trump was elected. Several things are at play here. Democrats are so scared of losing the new and burgeoning voting bloc they illegally imported into the U.S. that they will do anything to protect it, American citizens be damned. If...

A key House Republican called on President Trump Sunday to begin yanking ICE agents out of Minneapolis — warning the chaos will only “get worse” after protester Alex Pretti was fatally shot by a federal agent a day earlier. *** James Comer (R-Ky.) suggested a de-escalation was needed after the 37-year-old ICU nurse was gunned down — especially if “there’s a chance of losing more … innocent lives.” “If I were President Trump, I would almost think about, OK, if the mayor and the governor are going to put our ICE officials in harm’s way and there’s a chance of...

🚨 FLORIDA SHERIFF GRADY JUDD LAYS THE HAMMER ON THE LEFT: "If you allow anarchists and criminals to run wild in your community, people will die. People will be shot!" "We had a single man resist ICE agents and get away from them in our community. We sent a helicopter, a drone, canine, and 50 law enforcement officers to surround an area and we found that guy who violently resisted ICE and we locked him up in jail where he SHOULD HAVE BEEN." It should be like this in ALL 50 STATES, in every county, every city and every town!...

The saddest thing about this is that the Republicans will work with the left to ensure their victory. The United States is facing an existential threat. My guess is this summer will be the most violent, damaging domestic summer since the Civil War. And I predict the left will win and come out victorious on the other side. They will, after winning this new civil war, seek to eliminate the last vestiges of republicans. I use a small r because while some Republicans are true republicans, most are not. And when the left wins the war, those RINOs are going...

A “Jetsons”-style “air taxi” may be transporting New Yorkers before the end of the decade, its manufacturer says. The UK-based tech company Vertical Aerospace touted its futuristic Valo aircraft, a four-seat electric vehicle designed to fly up to 100 miles at 150 mph, at an industry preview in Manhattan last week — calling the contraption a first because of its zero-emissions power source. “If you think of mass transport … the infrastructure just doesn’t work anymore,” company CEO Stuart Simpson told The Post in unveiling the craft, which has a pilot and is roughly the same size as a chopper...

An interim ruling has recently been handed down from an Australian Court, which has pro-Palestinian activists celebrating, but Jewish Australians again wondering whether Australia’s judicial system truly supports them in the ongoing battle against antisemitism. The Jewish Independent ran a story on 11 July 2024, which pointed to that fact that prominent businessman and Palestinian activist, Hash Tayeh, was to be investigated for reciting the chant “All Zionists are terrorists” at a pro-Palestinian rally. Mr Tayeh was eventually charged and ordered to appear in the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria. According to the official Court documents, Mr Tayeh was fighting five...

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison previously argued that Americans have no Second Amendment right to carry firearms at political protests. Ellison joined 16 other attorneys general from Democrat-led states in an amicus brief filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in January 2024, according to court records. The coalition argued states can ban firearms at political rallies and protests because such events attract violence. The group also contended that guns at demonstrations could intimidate people and discourage them from speaking freely. Ellison’s legal stance faced scrutiny Saturday when Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti during an immigration enforcement...

A political action committee (PAC) which backed Kamala Harris’s campaign appears to have scrubbed its website after it was caught soliciting donations via a text mentioning Alex Pretti, just hours after Border Patrol agents fatally shot him in Minneapolis. Multiple X accounts posted screenshots of a fundraising text message sent from a toll-free number Saturday beginning with the words, “Alex Pretti is the limit,” and calling on recipients to “Stand with us! Donate $50 for 200% MATCH.” The message appeared to have linked to a donation landing page for Democratic Youth Wave PAC hosted by leading Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue....

Andy Burnham may be merely “disappointed” at being barred from standing as an MP, but voters on the streets of Greater Manchester are infuriated. Constituents of Gorton and Denton have told of their anger at the rearguard tactics employed by Sir Keir Starmer’s allies to rebuff their “King of the North”. Some said they were now considering voting for Reform UK in the looming by-election. A panel of the Labour Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) blocked Mr Burnham’s attempt to return to Westminster by eight votes to one on Sunday. Winning the seat might well have paved the way for...
