"The Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari expressed the country’s intention to put an end to Hamas completely, noting a message found on a Hamas militant.

The note read: “You must sharpen the blades of your swords and be pure in your intentions before Allah.”

“Know that the enemy is a disease that has no cure, except beheading and removing the hearts and livers. Attack them!” the note read."

Before @TonyDokoupil’s interview with Daniel Hagari, Israel’s chief military spokesperson, an aide handed Hagari a slip of paper that he claims was taken off the body of a Hamas militant.

"The note was discovered on the body of a militant involved in the October 7th attacks against Israeli citizens.

“ 'The 7th of October massacre is something that I haven’t seen through my life. This is a war we have to fight.”

“ 'There is only one goal: defeat Hamas. Kill the leaders of terror, and bring out people back home,” Hagari pressed.

“ 'We have only one country. It’s Israel,” Hagari replied. “It’s our democracy. It’s our country.' ” . . .

Marjorie Taylor Greene Tackles Wasteful Government Spending - Slashes Pete Buttigieg's Salary to $1

 Becky Noble – RedState

Nice though but ain't gonna happen.

Obviously, a Democrat who took this photo

One of the things that American taxpayers expect from Republican lawmakers is to save them a bit of money. Slashing all of the pork Democrats are so fond of and eliminating things like studies of the sex lives of fruit flies are to be applauded. On Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced yet another way the American taxpayer can save a buck. Greene introduced a bill that would slash the salary of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to just $1, and late on Tuesday, the House approved the measure." . . .

"I’m proud to announce my amendment to FIRE Pete Buttigieg just PASSED the House. Pothole Pete staged fake bike rides to the White House and used private planes funded by taxpayers to receive awards for the way certain people have sex. American taxpayers should not be on the hook for paying for his lavish trips or his salary. Pete Buttigieg doesn’t do his job. It’s all about fake photo ops and taxpayer-funded private jet trip to accept LGBTQ awards for him. I’m happy my amendment passed, but he doesn’t deserve a single penny."

. . ."Among Buttigieg's other glaring no-shows, during a serious supply chain crisis in 2021, he took a three-month paternity leave. And in December of 2022, as the Biden administration was embroiled in negotiations to head off a strike by the nation's rail workers that would have had a crippling effect on the economy, Buttigieg was in Europe on vacation. A Transportation Department spokesman stated that Buttigieg was dialed into "multiple calls with staff and stakeholders to work on the topic of rail labor negotiations."

Note to Rep. Greene: This is a good start. Surely, there are some other departments where we can save Americans even more tax dollars.

 

Watch Hillary Spell Out What Dems Are Doing To Destroy The Republic

 The Federalist

Clinton says she is concerned about those who ‘would try to do away with elections, and do away with opposition, and do away with a free press.’ 

"Authoritarians, Hillary Clinton explained Wednesday, don’t “usually telegraph” what they’re going to do, but when they do, you should “take [them] at [their] word.”

She then proceeded to telegraph exactly what Democrats are doing, and plan to continue doing, to bring about — as she put it — “the end of our country as we know it.”

"Of course, in Wednesday’s appearance on “The View,” she accused Donald Trump — whom Clinton has clearly not forgiven for foiling her presidential aspirations — of being responsible for all those things. Trump, Clinton said, “means to throw people in jail who disagree with him, shut down legitimate press outlets, do what he can to literally undermine the rule of law and our country’s values.”

"Let’s unpack that accusation."

Throwing dissidents in jail: Trump, after winning the presidency, declined to have his Justice Department prosecute Mrs. Clinton, despite the massive evidence of her illegal activity and the Obama Justice Department’s decision to come down on her classified information scandal with all the righteous indignation of a butterfly.

On the other hand, as “The View’s” Joy Behar admitted, Trump has been “criminally charged with 91 counts,” roughly half of which have been brought by his doddering 2024 opponent’s Justice Department, with the other half brought by state and local prosecutors like New York Attorney General Letitia James, who literally campaigned on bringing Trump down. . . .

Shutting down the press: During Trump’s entire presidency, practically the entire corporate press worked rabidly to malign him. No less prominent outlets than The New York Times and The Washington Post were lauded with Pulitzers for their fallacious “reporting” about Trump’s supposed collusion with Russia. Trump routinely gave the media access with twice as many personal press conferences per year on average as his hapless successor. Far being “shut down,” corporate outlets that hated Trump prolifically set a false narrative about him and were rewarded with reach by their allies in Big Tech. . . .

Undermining the rule of law: Contrary to Democrats’ unhinged predictions, Donald Trump did not chain himself to the Resolute desk and refuse to leave the Oval Office, nor has he canceled any elections. He did not lead an armed uprising against the government on Jan. 6, 2021, but instead took to Twitter to plead with his supporters to keep their demonstrations peaceful before promptly having his account locked by leftist censors. . . .

"Following a New York Times/Sienna poll that indicated Trump would beat Biden handily were the election held now, Clinton and her fellow panelists were clearly starting to panic during Wednesday’s show." . . .

"Lloyd was asked to confirm the outcome of the game in question.

" 'If it's true you lost to a bunch of 15 year old boys?" someone asked on X, the company formerly known as Twitter on Thursday.

"Yes it’s true. I know…thousands of people have already brought that up," Lloyd responded.

"The two-time Olympic gold medalist also pointed out that despite the loss to the group of teenagers, the USWNT still went on to win at the Olympics and the Women's World Cup.

"They were good. We actually lost to a youth Bayern Munich team in my career as well but then we went on to win Olympics and World Cups," Lloyd wrote." . . .

By that point, Lloyd saw kneeling during the national anthem as a rather hollow action that was unlikely to spark any real change.

WaPo Columnist Explains Why Photojournalist Might Be Carrying a Grenade

 If you wonder at the ignorance of the young generation now so badly educated and misinformed, look no further than the media and their choice of information to spoonfeed us.

CauseACTION  "It’s becoming pretty clear that CNN, the AP, and the New York Times had freelance photojournalists embedded with Hamas on October 7. We have one who posted a selfie of himself being kissed on the cheek by the leader of Hamas. And we also have a video reportedly showing one of the freelancers riding on the back of a motorcycle and holding a grenade.

 CNN Fires Gaza-Based Photojournalist Discovered to Be Embedded With Hamas (msn.com)   "We had no prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 attacks. Hassan Eslaiah, a freelance journalist who has worked with a number of international and Israeli outlets, was not working for the network on Oct. 7. As of today, we have severed all ties with him," the statement read.

"The decision came following a report from the pro-Israel watchdog group Honest Reporting that named several Gaza-based photojournalists working for major news media companies including CNN, The New York Times, the Associated Press and Reuters and raised "ethical questions" regarding their proximity and relation to Hamas.

"Of Eslaiah, Honest Reporting wrote that he "crossed into Israel, took photos of a burning Israeli tank and then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza." The group also said that it "obtained screenshots of Eslaiah's now-removed tweets on X in which he documented himself standing in front of the Israeli tank. He did not wear a press vest or a helmet, and the Arabic caption of his tweet read: 'Live from inside the Gaza Strip settlements.'"

"Additionally, an undated photo of Eslaiah posing in an embrace with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar (pictured above) resurfaced Wednesday, further raising concerns over the photographer's relationship with the organization. Sinwar masterminded the Hamas attacks that killed 1,400 Israelis last month."

MSNBC, Joy Reid, Ali Velshi; they should all make him welcome, being yokefellows.

HISTORIC! House Committee Subpoenas President Biden's Brother, Son

  PJ Media  "New Rules alert! In a move that was once unthinkable but is now par for the course in the banana republic formerly known as the United States, the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to President Joe Biden's immediate family members.

"House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today issued subpoenas to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, brother, James Biden, and Biden family associate, Rob Walker, to appear for depositions," the committee announced in a press release on Wednesday. "Chairman Comer also requested additional members of the Biden family and their associates appear for transcribed interviews. Chairman Comer plans to send additional subpoenas and transcribed interview requests later this week."

"According to the Oversight Committee's Twitter/X account, those additional subpoenas will go to:

• Sara Jones Biden (wife of Joe Biden's brother, James)
• Hallie Biden (widow of Joe Biden's deceased son, Beau, and erstwhile slam-piece of Hunter Biden)
• Elizabeth Secundy (Hallie Biden's older sister, also erstwhile slam-piece of Hunter Biden)
• Melissa Cohen (wife and current slam-piece of Hunter Biden)
• Tony Bobulinski (Hunter Biden's former business partner)

"Recognizing the Historic! nature of the move, the committee commemorated the occasion by posting video online of Comer signing the subpoenas. I am embedding it here so you can enjoy it as much as I did:

Two young Brits protesting Israel and calling for a ‘ceasefire’ learn about the Hamas attack… only after joining the demonstration

 Mindless drones like these are what have Joe Biden and his Democrats frozen in place.

This exchange proves once again that there are people involved in the political process who have literally no understanding of anything, and therefore have no business being involved in said process. They’re welcome to make blind decisions based on zero facts in their personal lives, but when it comes time to the lives of others? Absolutely not.

 Talk about sheep.

"Did these girls just see a bleating flock of “progressives” and decide to join? (Sure seems like it.)

"Is their ignorance an outlier, or a reflection of the rest of the crowd? (I suspect the latter.)

"To be honest, I’m pretty taken aback at how a single young person in the first world can have made it all the way through to November, more than thirty days after the Hamas attack, without having some inkling about what happened. Aren’t almost all young people, especially leftist young people on social media platforms, digital environments which have been totally saturated with content and opinions regarding the October 7th slaughter, as well as all the explosive demonstrations that have followed?

"But in the context of this news item, I was even more perplexed, because these girls are actually at a “ceasefire” pro-Palestine protest… participating! But then I remembered that they are leftists, and ignorance has thus far proved to be an immutable characteristic, and I was slightly less confused—but still…."

 

Only the Babylon Bee can find parody in liberal US college students these days

 Harvard Installs Jew Detectors At All Entrances | Babylon Bee

"CAMBRIDGE, MA — The President of Harvard University, Claudine Gay, announced today that the university has installed Jew detectors at all entrances.

"This is a step in the right direction," President Gay told reporters. "It might not be the last step. We are always looking for a final solution to the Jewish problem on campus."

"The move to install Jew detectors at all entrances comes amidst a wave of anti-semitic attacks on campus. The hope in using the detector system is that, once detected, Jewish students can be safely concentrated away in a location or camp where they will be free to be Jewish away from the other students.

"The detectors, which claim to be capable of detecting a Jew with 99.99% accuracy, are designed to pick up the most blatant Zionism, basic ethnic markers, and even the slightest trace of disgust over the targeted murder and kidnapping of children for the noble cause of freeing Palestine.

""The Jew detector systems we have installed show our resolve in tackling bigotry and keeping everybody safe while maintaining our commitment to free expression and tolerance," Gay said in her announcement."

‘Wonder Woman’ Star Gal Gadot Plans Hollywood Screening of Hamas Atrocities Against Jews

 

Breitbart   "Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot plans to screen footage provided by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that shows atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists when they entered Israel on October 7 and began a barbaric campaign of rape, murder, and mass kidnappings.

"Israel news outlet 124 reports the Hollywood screening of the 47-minute sequence is scheduled to take place in front of a specially chosen audience, featuring celebrities and prominent figures.

"Oscar-winning director Guy Nattiv, who spearheaded the initiative, revealed to 124, “Gal Gadot and her husband, Yaron Varsano, helped make this possible.”

"The pro-Israel media watchdog organization brought up ethical concerns Wednesday, noting that media photographers seemed to have known about the attack and were quite at ease among the terrorists, who were shooting every other civilian they found.

"Later, photographs emerged of one of the photographers posing for selfies with the local Hamas leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.

"In a statement, the National Public Diplomacy Directorate of the Prime Ministers’s Office demanded action by news agencies:

The National Public Diplomacy Directorate in the Prime Minister’s Office views with utmost gravity that photojournalists working with international media joined in covering the brutal acts of murder perpetrated by Hamas terrorists on Saturday October 7th in the communities adjacent to the Gaza Strip.

These journalists were accomplices in crimes against humanity; their actions were contrary to professional ethics.

Overnight the Government Press Office issued an urgent letter to the bureau chiefs of the media organizations that employed these photographers and sought clarifications on the matter.

Footage of Oct. 7 Hamas Attack Screens in Hollywood Under Heavy Guard – The Hollywood Reporter

On Wednesday night, with a sizable security presence and protesters audible through the walls, some 200 members of the industry screened 'Bearing Witness,' comprising 43 minutes of uncensored footage, at the Museum of Tolerance in West L.A.

Could these have been the same people waiting outside the hospital to get to the two sheriff's deputies being treated for wounds caused by an ambush as they sat in their patrol car?

More from this article: . . ."While gathering evidence, Lahav 433 also took testimony from a woman who said she witnessed the gang-rape and murder of another young woman.

"Haaretz reports the witness told officers of how she watched the shocking attack unfold as she hid from Hamas gunmen wearing military uniforms.

" 'As I am hiding, I see in the corner of my eye that [a terrorist] is raping her,' the witness told investigators. 'They bent her over and I realised they were raping her and simply passing her on to the next [gunman].'

"The witness says the victim was 'alive' and 'on her feet and bleeding from her back. But then the situation was that he was pulling her hair. She had long, brown hair.'

"The woman told officers one of the Hamas gunmen 'shot her in the head while he was raping her... didn't even lift his pants'.

Jewish Community Rallies Around NYC Cafe Owner After Pro-Hamas Baristas Walk off the Job

  RedState  

Our staff was young. They think they know everything, liberal, college-educated,” Dahan, who is Jewish, told The Post on Tuesday. “They think we’re supporting genocide, we’re supporting colonialism. They know the keywords but they don’t really know what they mean.” 

 "The weeks following the terror attack on Israel have been hard on Israelis, certainly, but also on Jewish communities around the world. These communities have had to watch as posters of the hostages are torn down by sneering antisemites and throngs of pro-Hamas protesters storm through the streets screaming, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." This is also known as a call for the destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews.

"The pro-Hamas crowd have definitely outed themselves these past weeks. When faced with the decision whether to tear down the poster of a baby ripped from his family by Hamas or be a decent human being and walk on by, they choose destruction. It's almost always young people, some with Middle Eastern heritage and some just meddling white kids whose college years did them no favors.

"New York City, with its large Jewish population, has been ground zero in the United States for recent antisemitic activity. Every day, it seems, there is a new video posted to social media of odd-looking cretins tearing into the hostage posters with the glee of a feral dog tearing into a piece of raw meat. Any humanity they might have once had is gone in a flash; occasionally, bystanders try to step in and stop the insanity, but there is no shame when it comes to antisemites. 

"That's why the story that made headlines on Tuesday was such a nice departure from the usual enraging updates.

"Tlaib! One mocha!"

"It starts with the bad: Aaron Dahan, the young owner of Caffe Aronne, a coffee shop on New York City's Upper East Side, thought he would have to close down because all of his baristas had walked off the job. It's not that this was a bad place to work, it was because Dahan is Jewish, displayed an Israeli flag in his cafe, and had started a fundraiser for Magen David Adom – Israel's Red Cross. Oh, and the baristas were supporters of Hamas who bolted when Dahan questioned them about the Free Palestine pins they were wearing to work." . . .

. . ."Others showed up offering to help Dahan's mother run the shop and keep the lights on. Bina Dabbah said she'd “wash the dishes...[and] mop the floors. All this antisemitism is very frightening. I know the baristas here and it’s just very upsetting that all these young people are – I don’t know what they are, ignorant? Hateful? Brainwashed? It’s very scary this is what’s happening in this country, but I hope somebody knows how to fix it because it’s really scary.' ”

I recognize those people from the Antifa riots with their masks and slogans; they yelled words that came from their leaders and not from them. I have to say not one original thought was expressed by them yet our society has been destroyed by nothing more significant than that. the Tunnel Dweller.

Israel celebrates breaching ground Hamas didn’t foresee as war enters second month

An account I find fascinating; TD

FDD's Long War Journal

"Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Tuesday that Gaza has been revealed to be the world’s largest “man-made terror base.” He portrayed current Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar as stuck in a bunker somewhere in Gaza, cut off from other Hamas commanders. Netanyahu has also hinted at the depth of Israel’s strikes saying “Hamas is finding out that we’re getting to places it didn’t think we’d reach. And the campaign is still underway.' ”

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to members of Israel’s elite Egoz unit on Tuesday, exactly one month after Hamas’ surprise attack on the country flipped the world upside down. The Egoz unit specializes in guerilla-style warfare and is part of Israel’s commando brigade. It uses special weapons and tactics. “I would like to tell you that what we see on the ground, from the reports the War Cabinet and I receive, and the conversations with commanders and soldiers, it is an extraordinary success. I tell you, the Americans were here. They explained to us what was in Fallujah and what was here and there, and they are amazed at what we have achieved,” Netanyahu told the soldiers at a base in the Negev desert.

"The Prime Minister admitted there are challenges. “There are UAVs, IEDs and anti-tank fire. That is true. Sometimes there are very painful losses but all in all, the success is phenomenal because we went in there and hit the enemy – this is a great success. We do not intend to stop; we intend to continue to the end,” he said, according to a statement from Israel’s Government Press Office.

"Netanyahu also gave an address to the country on Tuesday. He reiterated that there would be no ceasefire in Gaza without the return of the 240 hostages being held by Hamas and other terror groups.

"Israel’s former Minister of Defense Benny Gantz spoke to the country as well in a separate statement. He joined the War Cabinet from the opposition early in the war. He stressed that there would be a time for protests or criticism, but that the country should remain united during the war and support the soldiers.  He also referenced the multi-front threats Israel is facing.

"That all came as Hezbollah tried to target Israel with an anti-tank missile and fired more than 20 rockets toward northern Israel. The IDF also intercepted “a suspicious aerial target” that flew from Lebanon, likely another Hezbollah drone. Hezbollah has used drones, rockets and anti-tank missile threats often against Israel over the last month. Naim Qassem, Hezbollah’s deputy secretary-general, gave an interview to NBC in which he threatened escalation if Israel continues its war in Gaza." . . .

Israel's Givati Brigade Uncovered Maps of Tunnels, Critical Intel 

 "Israel has uncovered secret documents after they attacked Hamas in the “refugee camp” of Jabaliya, where they killed a mastermind of October 7 and other Hamas terrorists.

"They found secret documents, including information on the underground tunnel systems.

"This could be why Hamas offered to turn over all the hostages they held in exchange for a five-day ceasefire.

"According to Jerusalem Post, soldiers for the Givati Brigade of the IDF took control over a Hamas stronghold in the northern Gaza Strip, uncovering documentation that could be crucial for the IDF moving forward in the war.. . ."
