"The more Hamas refuses to release the hostages, the more territory it will lose - territory that will be annexed to Israel."

"TEL AVIV — Israel will call up tens of thousands of reservists, military officials said Sunday, as the country's political leadership considers expanding the Israel Defense Forces' area of operations and overhauling the distribution of food within the Gaza Strip. Israel's security cabinet was expected to approve the new Gaza war plans at a meeting Sunday evening, according to an Israeli official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive discussions.
"Since March 18, the Israeli military has dramatically altered the map of the enclave, declaring about 70 percent of it either a military "red zone" or under evacuation orders, by a U.N. assessment, and pushing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into ever-shrinking pockets.
"The plans stop short of the complete military occupation of Gaza that the IDF has weighed, the official said. Implementing such an occupation is considered difficult, but not impossible, given the staffing levels required, the official said.
" 'We are issuing tens of thousands of reserve call-up orders to intensify and expand the operation in Gaza - increasing the pressure with the goal of bringing our people home and defeating Hamas," Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, the IDF chief of staff, said in a speech Sunday at a naval commando base. "We will operate in additional areas and destroy all infrastructure - above and below ground."
"Hamas-led fighters streamed out of Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, to attack communities in southern Israel. They killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took another 250 back to the enclave as hostages." . . .

"Seems California voters who have given nearly unchecked power to Democrats for about two decades are getting it good and hard. Newsom is trying to unwind some of the damage, primarily because he’s lusting after the White House, but the briar patch of regulations will make it a difficult task."

"It wasn’t long ago that a California governor made it clear that oil refineries were not welcome in his state. Then another California governor asked regulators to loosen the chains on refineries to ensure that they will be profitable and remain in the state that every day burns an enormous volume of gasoline.
"Actually, it is the same governor, one who has turned his attention from playing to his hard-left, blue-state constituency to shifting toward the middle for a 2028 White House run.
"It was just last summer when Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a “plan to prevent Big Oil ‘profit spikes’” that would also “save Californians money at the pump.” He groused about refiners “playing games to earn even more profits” and vowed to force them to “act responsibly.”
"Two months later, he signed a bill that is intended to limit “higher profits for the industry.” Within hours, Phillips 66 said that it was closing its Los Angeles refinery complex.“Without actually using the words, the company is saying there’s no reason to stick around and be abused,” the Pacific Research Institute said last fall.
"Then, earlier this year, PRI pointed out that “California is literally running out of oil refineries.”
“ 'Phillips 66 announced it was closing its Los Angeles refinery complex in 2025. It will be the fourth refinery shut down in the state since 2020. At that point, there will be only a dozen refineries left to produce the 38 million gallons of California’s boutique blend – which is not made anywhere else, costs more than conventional gasoline, and requires oil companies to invest billions to upgrade their systems to make – that’s consumed daily.”
"Or it could be only 14. Valero is likely to close its California refinery next year.
"Mission accomplished. Then the mission changed. Now, Newsom is asking regulators to do what they can to keep oil refineries open." . . .
Democrats are even touting incomparably dense and unqualified Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is currently abusing taxpayer money to join the mysteriously rich socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders on a “fight the oligarchy” tour, as their next presidential candidate.

"At a town hall meeting last week, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez — one of the few moderate Democrats left in the world — made a perfectly common-sensical statement: “Americans believe that only U.S. citizens should be determining the outcome of American elections.”
"She was greeted with a torrent shouts, boos, and profanity, signs that said “shame” from her constituents, and was ushered out of room for “security reasons.”
"After President Donald Trump called for a “revolution of common sense,” it spread like a virus – except among Democrats, who appear to have a natural immunity.
"Trump has been implementing his common-sense agenda at a breakneck speed, whether it’s restoring order at the border, protecting taxpayers from waste and fraud, insisting that foreign policy focus on what’s best for the U.S., dispensing with DEI, transgenderism, and other leftist projects that defy common sense, protecting parental rights.
"The most important thing Trump has done, however, has been to make it safe again for everyday Americans to express common-sense views.
"That illegal immigrants should be sent back to their home countries. That borders should be secure and streets safe. That it’s OK to buy reliable, affordable gas cars. That vast amounts of government spending is wasteful. That there are only two genders. That discrimination is never acceptable, no matter how you dress it up. That companies should focus on serving consumers, not anti-capitalist zealots. That violence for political ends is never justified.
"Major corporations are rejecting DEI, now that it’s safe to admit what they knew all along – that it increased strife among workers, alienated customers, and didn’t help their bottom lines. Likewise, corporations are abandoning the uber-woke “environment, social, governance” investment ideology for the same reason.
"Female athletes increasingly feel empowered to reject the dangerously misguided idea that they should have to compete against men suffering gender dysphoria.
"Even Hollywood seems to be catching the common-sense bug." . . .
Stefanik also singled out former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — the clear leader in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary — and said she would immediately roll back the law allowing non-citizens to obtain drivers’ licenses, as well as lefty bail reforms, adding that Hochul “doubled down” on the worst decisions made by her predecessor.
"Rep. Elise Stefanik believes she’s “in the strongest position to defeat” Gov. Hochul and become the first Republican leader of New York state in nearly 20 years, as she inches closer to a 2026 challenge.
:In an exclusive interview with The Post, Stefanik (R-NY) confidently rattled off several “Day 1” priorities for a potential term — tax, education, crime, immigration and energy — before taking a shot at the unpopular liberal governor.
" 'Unlike Kathy Hochul, who was defeated after one term in Congress, we have a record of winning — not just Republicans but winning independents and a fair percentage of Democrats,” she sniped" . . .
. . ."Asked what her platform would look like, the “born and bred” upstate New Yorker ripped several of Hochul’s policies — including her recent refusal to fully ban masks worn by anti-Israel demonstrators who have harassed Jewish New Yorkers.
" 'This is an area where Hochul has absolutely failed. Albany and New York Democrats have failed to protect Jewish citizens, not just Jewish students, but Jewish families across this state,” she said, noting how Harvard University President Claudine Gay was forced to resign after telling Congress that calls for the genocide of Jews were permissible on her campus — depending on the “context.”
“Kathy Hochul and Democrats, they have refused to condemn, they have refused to institute policies and actually ensure that we have rule of law and protection for Jewish individuals, and they’ve refused to condemn antisemitism,” she added." . . .

“Californians are realizing that the @CA_Dem left them and sanity behind. You’re not alone. Choosing law and order, freedom, and common sense is the right move!” Sheriff Alex Villanueva
Murder, they wrote? Democrats try to incite violence in another 'summer of love'
..."Meanwhile, Minnesota Democrats killed an amendment to a crime and public safety bill that would have required law enforcement agencies to report illegal aliens to ICE when they are arrested for a violent crime. In doing so, they ignored the desperate and pitiful pleas of a man whose mother was brutally murdered and beheaded by an illegal alien on the streets of a Minneapolis suburb in the middle of the afternoon."...
Former L.A. County Sheriff Ditches Democrat Party: ‘Joining the Party of Faith, Family, and Freedom’ "Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva revealed that he was leaving the Democrat Party, after being a registered Democrat for more than 40 years, and joining the Republican Party.
“As of today, I’m leaving the party of paid protests, purple hair, and pronouns, and joining the party of faith, family, and freedom,” Villanueva said in a video posted to X.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Villanueva refused to enforce a directive to close beaches over the Fourth of July weekend. In July 2021, Villanueva also stated that he would not use the department’s “limited resources” to enforce a mask mandate, noting that it was “not backed by science.”
“Forcing the vaccinated and those who already contracted COVID-19 to wear masks indoors is not backed by science and contradicts the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines,” Villanueva wrote at the time.
Why these Democrats are defecting to the Republican Party | Vox
"Each of the state lawmakers have their individual reasons. West Virginia Republican Party chair Elgine McArdle said in a statement that Pritt had realized that the “Democratic Party of today is not the Democratic Party that our parents grew up with.” Cotham said that she was bullied by her Democratic colleagues and that the Republican Party is a better fit for her values, even though she’s previously sided with Democrats on many of the most divisive issues, including abortion rights and LGBTQ rights. Thompson said that he’s felt pushed out of the Democratic Party because its stance on certain issues is incompatible with his religious views. LaCombe did not offer up his own reasoning."
The Democratic Party has a man problem - Washington Examiner
"Explanations are aplenty for the Democratic Party’s precipitous decline in popularity. Many on the Left have blamed “messaging,” conveniently enough, as if their deeply unpopular ideas would suddenly turn popular if they were “messaged” correctly. Others have criticized the party’s lack of commitment to its core ideas — or to any ideas at all. Still more have accused the party of being overly committed to too many preposterous ideas of the cultural variety." 2/25
