    Hamas and its terror affiliates in the Gaza Strip plan to attack American aid distribution centers, Telegram messages confirmed by a senior U.S. official show, threatening to draw the United States into direct conflict with Palestinian militant factions. "Resistance security is authorized to firmly confront anyone who cooperates with the enemy or its agents, and agents and mercenaries will be legitimate targets," Hamas affiliates said in a statement issued late Sunday to "Palestinian resistance factions" active on Telegram, a social networking site terrorist groups regularly use to coordinate their activities. The terrorists directed their threats at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation...

    There's a new Gaza aid organization, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), sponsored by Israel and the United States, that the UN and most international aid groups oppose. The UN says the group was engaged in “engineered scarcity” rather than feeding Gazans. In fact, the whole purpose of the GHF was to prevent the UN and other NGO aid groups from using Hamas-controlled conduits to deliver aid. Israel suspects that those conduits divert aid from civilians to feed Hamas terrorists.The UN rejects that claim and says the biggest problem with the Foundation is that they don't give aid to everyone who...

    May 19, 2025:The somber face of Caitríona Perry reporting on Netanyahu getting basic aid trucks into Gaza. Caitríona Perry is current anchor of BBC America. Just like typical BBC bigoted propaganda "journalists" only so happy if and when they can bombard Israelophobia. They, constantly, stream genocidal Hamas provided or/and controlled footage - to shock. Amazingly they can't show adult terrorists being eliminated. Adults - the key. And of course they wouldn't mention cruel Palestine Hamas using = robbing aid as a controlling power.

    President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw aid relief funding from South Africa has been described by local faith leaders as a slap to God’s face. The Evangelical Alliance of South Africa based in Johannesburg — representing approximately four million Christians in South Africa — stated that the sanctions against the country, which include termination of funding for Anti-Retroviral Treatment, are a punishment on the sick and those dying from HIV/Aids-related illnesses. According to Foster Mohale, a spokesperson for the national department of health, roughly 7.8 million people in South Africa (SA) are living with HIV and 5.5 million are on...

    It's absolutely amazing where the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) finds taxpayer money and how it gets there. The Daily Wire has been investigating a small USAID-linked organization that described itself to Congress as "a low-overhead charity sending its money to Africans." But the African Development Foundation was actually a grifter's paradise, siphoning taxpayer money in the name of charity and sending it to friends and cronies in Africa and the U.S. Mathieu Zahui, Foundation's chief financial officer, became something of a left-wing hero when Elon Musk and DOGE showed up for an audit. Bravely, Mr. Zahui stood up and...

    Discern Report ^ | April 19, 2025 | Kenneth Schrupp, The Center Square
    (The Center Square)—A new California bill would prioritize illegal immigrants for taxpayer-funded disaster aid, warned California Assemblymember Carl DeMaio, R-San Diego. AB 262, authored by Assemblymember Jessica Caloza, D-Los Angeles, would require California to “prioritize local agencies that are not eligible under [federal law] due to their inability to meet the minimum damages threshold” of $1 million to unlock federal disaster funds. “You are carving out the authority for state funding to go to illegal immigrants,” said DeMaio. “The bill would allow the director of emergency services to prioritize funds for people who not here legally.” Caloza responded by saying...

    U.S. Catholic leaders are ending their church’s 50-year partnership with the federal government and seeking new ways to help refugees. Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, announced the change in a press release and Washington Post column on Monday, arguing that the Trump administration forced his denomination’s hand. “The bishops’ decision came after the federal government suspended our cooperative agreements to resettle refugees. The drastic reduction of these programs forced us to reconsider the best way to serve the needs of our brothers and sisters seeking safe harbor from violence and persecution,” he wrote...

    Bangkok -- Search teams in Myanmar recovered more bodies from the ruins of buildings on Friday, a week after a massive earthquake killed more than 3,100 people, as the focus turns toward the urgent humanitarian needs in a country already devastated by a continuing civil war. United Nations humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher, who is also the emergency relief coordinator, will visit the area on Friday in an effort to spur action following the March 28 quake. Ahead of the visit, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres appealed to the international community to immediately step up funding for quake victims “to match the...

    Two Bronx legislators announced Monday they’re introducing legislation to aid Bally’s bid to open a casino next to the borough’s golf course formerly run by President Trump’s firm. The bill pushed by Sen. Nathalia Fernandez and Assemblyman Mike Benedetto would reclassify the parkland for commercial use in order for the gambling and entertainment company’s casino bid to move forward. The project can’t proceed without the redesignation. Bally’s took over the lease for the golf course from The Trump Organization in 2023 — renaming “Trump Links” at Ferry Point to “Bally Links.”
  • ZELENSKY DEFIES THE US: Emboldened by Euro-Globalists, Ukrainian Leader Again States That He Does Not Recognize US Aid as ‘Loans’, Will Not Sign Reworked Mineral Rights Deal

    It seems that Ukrainian Leader Volodymyr Zelensky has decided on a path that’ll send him clashing with US President Donald J. Trump and his administration. Besides repeatedly breaching the Trump-brokered partial ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, Zelensky has now made a TV statement that contains at least two very controversial points. First, he again stated that the hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid to the Kiev regime were NOT ‘loans’, but rather, donations – despite the fact that nothing was ever registered as such. Secondly, he alerted that Ukraine will NOT sign the reworked rare-earth/mineral exploration deal, although...

    The Department of Education is investigating more than 50 universities for racial discrimination in accordance with President Donald Trump’s executive order to end diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, which the administration considers as discriminatory against certain students based on race, ethnicity, and other criteria. The department announced the investigations Friday after issuing a memo stating schools and colleges could lose federal money over race considerations in admissions, scholarships, and more. “Students must be assessed according to merit and accomplishment, not prejudged by the color of their skin,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said in a statement. “We will not yield...

    United Nations aid agencies have been sent questionnaires by the US asking them to state if they have "anti-American" beliefs or affiliations. Among the 36 questions on the form, sent by the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and seen by the BBC, is one asking if they have any links to communism. Some of the world's biggest humanitarian organisations have received the questionnaire, including the UN Refugee Agency and the International Committee of the Red Cross. Many of the UN aid agencies who were sent the form receive funding, not just from USAID, but directly from the US...

    WARSAW, Poland (AP) – Finland on Thursday announced a new arms package for Ukraine amounting to around 200 million euros ($217 million) and pledged more defense cooperation with Kyiv. The aid package for Ukraine involves artillery ammunition, “which is in great need right now,” said Finland’s Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen as he signed a memorandum of understanding alongside his Ukrainian counterpart Rustem Umerov. Finland’s Defense Ministry said other contents of the aid package would not be divulged at this time. Häkkänen said that Finland remains committed to supporting Ukraine and shares Kyiv’s “view of the Russian threat in light of...

    The communists who’ve run South Africa into the dirt since the end of Apartheid — increasingly brazen in their genocidal anti-white rhetoric and deeds — may have not expected any real pushback on their illiberal racism. And why wouldn’t they expect immunity? They had gotten away with it for decades under all previous U.S. presidents, even while they touted the “international rules-based order” that is neoliberalism. But we’re in the Golden Age now. So FAFO. On March 7, Trump announced the total ban on all foreign aid flowing to South Africa via Truth Social: South Africa is being terrible, plus,...

    President Donald Trump recently halted all future shipments of military aid to Ukraine after a heated meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office last week exacerbated a chasm in US-Ukraine relations. Western allies anticipate that Ukraine could sustain its current fighting pace for several weeks before the stoppage in US assets would start to affect operations. With the pause likely to remain in place until Trump is satisfied with what he sees as Zelensky’s commitment to peace talks, CNN looks at what exactly was in the military aid sent by the United States so far, how...

Trump said this process will begin immediately. U.S. foreign assistance commitments to South Africa came in at $323.4 million in 2024, according to government data.

    A divided Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected the Trump administration’s request to keep billions of dollars in foreign aid approved by Congress frozen.However, the court did not immediately say when the money must be released, allowing the White House to continue to dispute the issue in lower courts.The ruling was 5-4.The order was unsigned but four conservative justices dissented – Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. That put five justices in the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson.The majority noted that given a court-ordered deadline to spend...
