It was a s–tshow. US Park Police were “alone” and “understaffed” while being “assaulted by a mob of thousands” of pro-Hamas rioters in Washington, DC, on Wednesday — some of whom even pelted officers with poop, according to the force’s union chief. Park Police Fraternal Order of Police chairman Kenneth Spencer told The Post in an interview a day after the unhinged riot that just 29 of his officers had faced down the terrorist-sympathizing mob outside Union Station — which is just blocks from the Capitol. “We were primarily alone,” said Spencer, a 15-year veteran who revealed that years of...

Former President Donald Trump gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a warm greeting Friday afternoon at Mar-a-Lago, giving his wife a kiss and embracing the Jewish leader before showing him where he was shot in the ear weeks ago. Trump, 78, opened his arms to embrace the Netanyahus, saying, “Come on in, nice to see you.” The GOP nominee then kissed Sara Netanyahu on both cheeks and pulled in the prime minister for a firm handshake. “The greatest dinner I ever had,” Trump said to the Jewish leader. Inside Mar-a-Lago, the former president showed Netanyahu the bullet wound on his...

The first F-16 fighter jets are set to arrive in Ukraine from Nato member states, after many months of preparation and pilot training. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said they are essential to help Ukrainians push back against Russia's aerial dominance and “unblock the skies”. Russian forces have been preparing for the Ukrainian F-16s too. They have targeted a number of Ukrainian military airfields and there are growing concerns that these long-awaited jets will be attacked and destroyed soon after they arrive. In July alone, at least three airfields have come under attack: Myrhorod and Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine...

The Olympic Games are getting underway in Paris on Friday, a reminder of what once was a glorious sporting event now corrupted beyond measure by corporate sponsorships, cheating athletes, and cloying network coverage.Fifty years ago, there were no professionals competing for the United States. Today, they're all professionals, paid top dollar so they can train full-time for the glory of the country. They are sponsored by Coke, Pepsi, GM, and dozens of the largest corporations in the world. Even the USA Canoe Slalom Olympic Team has sponsors.The preparations for the games have taken seven years, so naturally, France is on...

A digital security firm got the shock of a lifetime when it came to light that one of its remote workers was actually a North Korean hacker after he infected his new company laptop with malware. "The moment it was received, it immediately started to load malware," security firm KnowBe4 wrote in a blog post about the incident. The company stressed that "no illegal access was gained, and no data was lost, compromised or exfiltrated on any KnowBe4 systems." "KnowBe4 needed a software engineer for our internal IT AI team," the company explained. "We posted the job, received resumes, conducted...

The new Labour government professes to have discovered a “huge black hole” in the public purse, widely reckoned to be the crafting of a pretext to raise taxes that had been ruled out at the general election just three weeks ago. Rachel Reeves, the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister) claims to have discovered, now she is in power after the Labour Party won the nation’s national elections earlier this month, a £20 billion ($25 billion) black hole in the government’s finances. This she blames on the last government, and a full statement on this claim is expected on...

“Welcome the sojourner.” “Love the stranger, for you were strangers in Egypt.” “Love your neighbor.” “Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me.” For decades, these Bible verses (or slightly modified versions) have been thrown into the face of even the most reticent Christians who would dare to advocate for strong and strict borders in their nations. More specifically, Christians in the US, UK, Australia, South Africa, France, Germany, and a short list of Western or Western-influenced nations are constantly told their advocacy for fewer foreigners...

Vice President Kamala Harris may have made it more difficult to close a hostage deal, a startled senior Israeli official said after hearing the remarks she issued to the press late Thursday afternoon. “We hope that it won’t make it harder to achieve a hostage deal because it gives the appearance of day light between Israel and the United States,” the official said. Harris surprised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and those close to him by issuing her statement, which she also placed on X shortly after her hour-long meeting with him.

VP Kamala Harris on Thursday said she urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a cease-fire deal soon with Hamas so that dozens of hostages held by the militants in Gaza since Oct. 7 can return home. Harris said she had a “frank and constructive” conversation with Netanyahu in which she affirmed Israel’s right to defend itself but also expressed deep concern about the high death toll in Gaza over nine months of war and the “dire” humanitarian situation there. With all eyes on the likely Democratic presidential nominee, Harris largely reiterated President Joe Biden's longstanding message that it's...

Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic Party nominee for president, said Thursday that “the war in Gaza is not a binary issue,” refusing to see a clear moral distinction between Israel and Hamas terrorists. She delivered remarks after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for 40 minutes (emphasis added): And I will close with this, then. It is important for the American people to remember the war in Gaza is not a binary issue. However, too often the conversation is binary when the reality is anything but. So I ask my fellow Americans to help encourage efforts to...

The United Kingdom will no longer object to the International Criminal Court seeking an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a major foreign policy change for the country’s new left-globalist government. The British government had submitted a brief to the International Criminal Court (ICC) questioning the body’s jurisdiction to issue arrest warrants for Israel back in June, throwing into question the move by the court’s move to seek the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Now a spokesman for 10 Downing Street, the official office and residence of the British Prime Minister, has...

Harris surprised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and those close to him by issuing her statement. At issue for Netanyahu and his team was Harris’s statement about how Israel would completely withdraw from Gaza at the end of...

Sir Keir Starmer's Labour government will not pursue an objection to the International Criminal Court (ICC) issuing an arrest warrant for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Prosecutor Karim Khan KC applied for arrest warrants to be issued for Israel's prime minister and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar over alleged war crimes earlier this year. But under Rishi Sunak's Tory government, the UK had considered challenging the right of the ICC to issue arrest warrants for Mr Netanyahu and Israel's defence minister, Yoav Gallant. A Number 10 spokesperson said the government would not be pursuing the previous government's objection because it was...

Fatah, the Palestinian group that administers the Israeli-occupied West Bank, along with a dozen other Palestinian factions, has signed a declaration with its longtime rival Hamas to form an interim unity government for the Palestinian territories after the war in Gaza, Chinese state media reported Tuesday. The declaration was signed in Beijing after three days of talks.... Previous efforts by Arab countries to reconcile Fatah and Hamas, who rule over Gaza and sparked the ongoing war in the territory with their Oct. 7 attack on Israel, have failed. The long-term standoff between the groups has weakened political aspirations for Palestinian...

JERUSALEM, Israel – Many Americans believe the failure of the attempted assassination of former President Trump was a miracle. Many Israelis do as well, and that's why one man wanted to give thanks at a place among the most holy in all of Jerusalem: the Western Wall. James Rosenberg asked Jews at the Wall to join him in reciting Psalm 100 on behalf of the 45th president. "This is a psalm that is dedicated to being thankful to God for something that happens that you want to be thankful for," Rosenberg told those gathered. He says the group's action at...

The super-rich are being advised how to use a loophole in pensions investments to shelter their wealth from Labour’s clampdown on large-scale tax dodging, the Guardian can reveal. Undercover filming by the Guardian suggests multimillionaire UK residents are being pitched offshore products said to legally protect their fortunes from inheritance tax (IHT) and capital gains tax (CGT). At a private event held a week before the general election, the international accounting brand Baker Tilly told advisers to the ultra-wealthy how they could use offshore pension schemes to shield their clients’ fortunes from tens of millions of pounds of inheritance taxes....

One of the world's biggest drug lords, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, leader of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, has been arrested by US federal agents in El Paso, Texas. Zambada, 76, founded the criminal organisation with Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who is currently jailed in the US. Arrested with Zambada on Thursday was Guzman's son, Joaquin Guzman Lopez, said the US justice department. In February, Zambada was charged by US prosecutors with a conspiracy to make and distribute fentanyl, a drug more powerful than heroin that has been blamed for the US opioid crisis. In a written statement on Thursday evening, US...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, a historic leader of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, and Joaquín Guzmán López, a son of another infamous cartel leader, were arrested by U.S. authorities in Texas, the U.S. Justice Department said Thursday. A leader of the powerful Sinaloa cartel for decades alongside Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, Zambada was known for running the cartel’s smuggling operations, but keeping a lower profile. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration had offered a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to his capture.

On Thursday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said that he “can’t support a party that has Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders” and those who boycotted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech on Wednesday and he takes a view of “boycott the boycotters. If you boycotted Netanyahu, I’m boycotting you. I’m not going to ever vote for you or support you or give you any kind of financial support.” He also stated that “The Liz Warrens of the world are anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-democracy.”
