HUGE: Israel Rescues Hostages Despite Biden Insistence They Leave Gaza (VIDEO INCLUDED)

 It's a Good Thing for These Rescued Hostages That Israeli Leaders Didn't Listen to Biden and Blinken – Twitchy  "Former Obama-era Defense Secretary Robert Gates once claimed in a book -- and later doubled down -- that Joe Biden has been wrong on foreign policy his entire lifelong political career (Biden's been wrong about everything else too): . . .

Bonchie – RedState

"The operation to rescue these hostages happened despite a relentless effort by the Biden administration to force Israel into a "ceasefire" that would remove the IDF from Gaza. Given the success of this operation, Israel's resolve will likely only be strengthened to forge ahead until the mission is completed, and that includes the destruction of Hamas as a military and governing power." . . .

"In some of the biggest news to come out of the war between Israel and Hamas in months, four hostages were rescued from Nuseirat, a "refugee camp" in the middle of the Gaza Strip. 

"The operation was conducted jointly with the IDF, the ISA (Israel's intelligence agency), and Israeli police forces. The rescued hostages were three men and one woman, all taken during the Nova Music Festival on October 7th. Their names are as follows: Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv."

Inside Israel's dramatic hostage rescue: IDF helicopter snatch squads came under heavy fire as they freed Noa Algamani and three other Hamas captives in raid that was months in the planning but left one soldier dead after deadly firefight | Daily Mail Online  Israel conducted a fearless raid of two Hamas buildings in Gaza to rescue four hostages kidnapped by terrorists on October 7 - extracting them via helicopter whilst taking fire from militants.

"The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed Noa Argamani, 26, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40, were rescued following the daring operation, the largest of its kind since the war with Hamas began, earlier today.

"Argamani became known across the world when she was taken hostage by Hamas on the back of a motorcycle at the Supernova music festival on October 7.

IDF operatives were able to secure her and her three fellow festival attendees in what military chiefs branded a 'complex daytime operation' at 11am (8am GMT).

"Aerial footage released by the IDF showed a group of around 11 people running along the ground in Gaza and into the awaiting helicopter to escape.

"It later released footage showing Argamani, in a flak jacket and helmet, being rushed into a helicopter before it takes to the sky. 

"But the mission left one officer, father-of-two Arnon Zmora, 36, dead - 'mortally wounded' during the firefight with Hamas terrorists. " . . .

Joe Biden has forgotten what happened on Oct. 7 — but Israelis can’t (msn.com)   . . .Tali heard the unmistakable thud of men’s boots, chasing young women — the same women she’d been dancing with minutes earlier.

"She heard their screams.

"She heard them cry for help and beg their attackers to stop.

"She heard the gunshots that took their lives.

"When the terrorists finally left, Tali came out of hiding, and what she saw was even worse than she imagined.

"Her friends and fellow concertgoers were butchered.

"Many women had been raped. Some had their genitals mutilated." . . .

 I also visited Nir Oz, a once beautiful kibbutz now filled with ruins, where neighbors were tortured and burned alive. The terrorists who perpetrated those crimes have promised to do it again.

Those Muslims who did those acts had video cameras to record what they did. Those videos were shown to the people gathered in Gaza and recorded their cheers, laughter, and applause. Now here, scarf people wearing their cool, designer scarves chant, live on campus in tents, demand food and water be supplied to them and their faculty allies.

"Another scene showed a father and his two sons, aged approximately seven and nine, running in their underwear to what appeared to be a bomb shelter. A Hamas attacker threw a grenade, killing the man. The boys emerge bloodied and run. “Dad’s dead, it wasn’t a prank,” one shouts. “I know, I saw it,” replies his brother, later screaming: “Why am I alive?”

"Other sequences showed a militant with an agricultural tool hacking at the head of a man lying on the ground, gunmen killing wounded female Israeli soldiers and a jubilant Hamas fighter calling his family: “I killed 10 Jews with my own hands. I’m using the dead Jewish woman’s phone to call you now.”. . .

But many of us in the Diaspora are traumatized. We are in free fall. How could it come to this? Where can Diaspora Jews run to now? Must we start thinking like this? How can we help Israel to survive such hatred and its many military challenges?

 "Is Joe Biden on Hamas’s payroll? If not, why is his administration withholding promised military equipment to America’s most reliable and stable ally in the Middle East? Does Biden fail to understand what Israel is up against?

"Clearly, his administration is acting as if Iran and its proxy armies, beginning with Hamas, are “good” people, no different from the rest of us. He thinks they are “reasonable” people with whom he can negotiate or even outwit.

"I strongly beg to differ.

"Long ago, I was held captive in Kabul as a young bride. When I managed to get out, I understood in my bones that the West and the East are very different places. Other Americans do not understand this.

"Although I loved many things about the Muslim world—the awe-inspiring mountains, the ancient bazaars, the ceremonial aspects of dining, rose petals in the pudding, the biblical barefoot nomads tinkling as they walked together with their sheep and camels—I saw that the East was very wild. It was rife with unending blood feuds, vigilante (in)justice, illiteracy, poverty, disease, cruelty and above all hatred.

"Hatred of infidels, especially Jews, Christians and Hazaras who are Shiite, not Sunni Muslims. Hatred of women. Hatred of servants. Hatred of daughters-in-law. Hatred of their own political dissidents and free-thinkers. Hatred of Americans. But respect for Nazi Germany and German products.

"One cannot blame any of this on imperialism or colonialism. These customs were all indigenous. It is crucial to understand this.

"Why? Because this is the neighborhood in which Israel lives. The Jewish state has weathered every storm. We are an eternal people and will always survive. But the cost in blood has been high. The IDF is now fighting brilliantly. The Israelis are miraculously resilient." . . .

"In 2023 - after the acknowledgement of Navy Joan - the stockings were left out of the Christmas decor.  

" 'That's hurtful to see a matriarch of a family who's supposed to bring a family together, purposely exclude someone part of that family and part of that the bloodline,' Roberts said. 'And that's something that someday my daughter will read and my daughter will see.' 

" 'It breaks my heart to know that it will break hers to read and see the things that she's going to see about being excluded,' Roberts continued. 'And she's gonna wonder why and all I can do is be there for her when she's old enough to understand these things.' 

"Roberts revealed that when she talked to Hunter for the first time since being pregnant 'that was somehting that I brought up to him.' 

"Kelly didn't pry for the first son's response.

"She followed up by asking how Roberts planned to explain to exclusion to Navy Joan, who has yet to meet any Biden family members." . . .

Over One Million United Methodists Ditch Church Overnight Following Sex Rule Change

 (resistthemainstream.com)

She again criticized the UMC Book of Discipline’s description of homosexuality in April 2024 as “incompatible with Christian teaching,” a clause which has now been removed, according to the Christian Post.

"More than one million United Methodists have left the church in response to new rules regarding homosexuality, marking a dramatic overnight exodus.

"The United Methodist Church, a global Protestant denomination based in the US, amended its regulations to permit gay pastors and same-sex marriages during a conference in early May in North Carolina.  

"The move sparked a firestorm online, with various X users calling the exodus a result of “progressive” Christianity.

"Homosexuality has long been a contentious issue within the church, which previously upheld bans on same-sex marriage and the inclusion of homosexual pastors.

"The Christian Post reported that the Ivory Coast division, which boasts an estimated 1.2 million followers, accused international leaders of “deviating from the Holy Scriptures” and “sacrificing its honor and integrity to honor the LGBTQ community.” 

VIDEO: You can burn an American flag, but if you deface the gay flag, the regime will put you in prison... - Revolver News   "In America, you can spit on Vietnam veterans, defecate on the US flag, threaten the lives of US Supreme Court Justices, mock Christianity, and burn entire cities to the ground in the name of a career felon. But if you dare to trample on the rainbow flag, oh, there will be serious hell to pay, mister.

"That’s what three teenagers in Washington are finding out the unjust, immoral, and hard way, as they face felony charges for disrespecting the national homo religion.

"On Wednesday night, just a few hours after Spokane had given its LGBTQ+++ Pride Mural a fresh coat of paint, three teens made their mark—literally. Ruslan Turko, 19, along with two other underage teenagers, left scooter marks on it. For this most heinous crime against humanity, they were arrested and charged with 1st degree “malicious mischief,” a felony that could land them up to 10 years in jail. And if that’s not punishment enough—and of course, it’s not—the prosecutors wanted $15,000 bail for these budding serial killers." . . .

Meanwhile, the left can torch Old Glory—a flag that men and women have literally laid down their lives for—without batting an eye. In fact, for a left-wing Marxist, burning the flag, spitting on it, and even defecating all over it is considered a badge of honor, no matter how deeply those actions hurt veterans and law-abiding Americans who deeply love their country.

On Biden's Child, Hunter:

 WATCH: Journalists Cry for Widdle Baby Hunter Biden, 54-Year-Old 'Child' of Sleepy Joe (freebeacon.com)    "Journalists keep referring to Hunter Biden, who went on trial this week for lying about his crack addiction to buy a gun, as the "child" of President Joe Biden.

"Fact check: Hunter is a 54-year-old man. He has a 30-year-old daughter, for crying out loud.

"We understand why members of the mainstream media might struggle to accept this reality. They're still trying to convince the American people—despite all evidence to the contrary—that "Sleepy Joe" Biden is a high-energy intellectual powerhouse. Not an 81-year-old geezer whose physical and cognitive abilities are in rapid decline."

A President's Son:  Teddy Roosevelt Jr.: The Officer Who Stormed Normandy with Nothing but a Cane and a Pistol   “We’ll start the war from right here!” Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. purportedly declared as his Higgins landing craft drifted about a mile from its target destination on Utah Beach the morning of the June 6, 1944 invasion of Normandy.

"At the age of 56, Roosevelt, the son of President Theodore Roosevelt, was not only the oldest soldier deployed during Operation Overlord, but the highest-ranking American figure to storm the beaches." . . . 

Roosevelt is buried in the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. His brother Quentin, who was killed in WWI, was moved to rest beside Roosevelt and remains the only WWI soldier buried in that hallowed ground.

 Déjà vu: Hunter Biden recycles Bill Clinton asinine ‘definition’ defense - Jack Hellner   When Bill Clinton got caught perjuring himself, his defense as to why he committed perjury and said that he “did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky,” was because it depended “on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” And, since he wasn’t getting a BJ in the Oval Office at exactly the same time as he answered the question, he wasn’t really lying.

"For Hunter Biden, since he wasn’t smoking crack while he filled out the ATF 4473 form and checked that “no” box saying he wasn’t an “addict” he was actually telling the truth:

This is the crux of his defense — that he did not ‘knowingly’ lie on the federal background check form; he acted honestly, even if he was mistaken or misunderstood the question of whether or not he is addicted to or doing drugs, because he did achieve periods of sobriety, albeit fleeting and almost always ending in relapse. . . .

 . . ."When the media spread lies about teenage boys who wore MAGA hats and labeled them as racists, it wasn’t to gin up racial division and hate and to destroy their lives, it was just an innocent mistake.

"When the media showed pictures of kids in cages during the Obama-Biden administration, it wasn’t to spread disinformation that Trump was a racist who hated migrant children, it was just an innocent mistake.

"When Hillary set up a private computer server at her house, it wasn’t to violate the law or hide anything criminal, it was just to make things more productive.

"When she used BleachBit on her computer and then took a sledgehammer to it, there was nothing nefarious on there, it was purely for sanitary purposes. 

"The excuses could be endless. Basically, the media and other Democrats are allowed to spread as much misinformation as they like. The only thing that matters to them is electing Democrats." . . .

Know Your Place In Society: Check Out This Pride Month Hierarchy

 Grayson Bakich – PJ Media   "For a movement that supposedly advocates for equality, this sure looks like the exact opposite to me.

Some user on X posted some sort of "pride month hierarchy" that just flat out makes stuff up the further down you read it, and says of it that "if you are higher above someone on this chart, you are not allowed to attack/criticize someone more oppressed than you, period."

"Let's take a moment to examine it, and then roast it like a pollo a la brasa (sorry, I'm back in Peru visiting the wife as I write this):

Pride month hierarchy!

"So at the very tip-top of this long, long list, you have the left-wing boogeyman: a straight (shortened to "het" as in "heterosexual") white guy who doesn't think he's a woman. Beneath him are white women, then black men, then black women. All straight, all not pretending to be confused about which sex they are.

"Then you have the normal, "cis" bisexuals. Good so far, at least in the sense that it is logically consistent.

"But then logic is merrily tossed out the window when "gay" and "lesbian" are divided into two categories for some incomprehensible reason. Aren't lesbians just gay women? What is a "cis gay white/black woman" or "cis lesbian white/black man" but an overly complicated way of saying "straight white/black man/woman"?

"And yes, it does get worse as we go along." . . .

George Clooney seems to think he has a 'say' in U.S. foreign policy; an attaboy for Joe

  Monica Showalter- American Thinker

The actor was also upset about the administration’s initial openness to imposing sanctions on the ICC because his wife might be subject to the penalties, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation.

"The Biden administration's foreign policy has long been a bus without brakes, a rudderless shambles of wokery and special interest groups, but who knew how bad it would get that actor George Clooney would step in and tell the administration how the U.S. should run its foreign policy, based on what his wife wants." . . .

. . .One of the characters involved in writing this Ruritanian order was Amal Clooney, who is George Clooney's high-livin' wife.

Biden himself, or whoever writes his material for him, rightly called the request for warrants against Israel's prime minister "outrageous" and added that "there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas.  We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security."

We may not like Biden, but that was the right kind of response to the effrontery of this ICC globalist overreach.

They're feeling mighty full of themselves over there at ICC, obviously spotting Biden's weakness as a cue to stepin, so it was easy for them to go after one of America's allies as a war criminal, which would also make us war criminals for supporting him.

It was as if they were out to please the campus protestors, so they launched their charges at both Hamas's terrorists and Netanyahu, imagining that they had juridiction over what happened in Israel, which they don't, because Israel is not a signatory to their court domain. But that didn't stop them from dreaming of putting Netanyahu in the dock like Slobo. Wouldn't that make these ICC eurotrashers important?

"Clooney's protests are obviously targeted at the U.S. reaction to this bad ICC move. Worse still, he used political pull to get his word in edgewise with Biden. He's hosting a fundraiser for Biden next week in Los Angeles, the papers noted. Hosting fundraisers apparently gives him the right to change U.S. foreign policy from what is good for America to what is good for him and his wife.

Five Times Joe Biden Has Insulted American Voters

  Ward Clark – RedState  

Joe Biden isn't funny. Whether it's "dog-faced pony soldier" or accusing voters of being liars — which, coming from Joe Biden, is some Olympic-level irony — he's not funny. He comes across as a petty, angry man, not that this is unusual among politicians, but he seems to be determined to take pettiness and unfounded anger to a new level.

 "One of the signs of advancing dementia is sudden, unfounded anger or agitation. Another is inappropriate behavior and paranoia.

"I'm talking about anyone who has dementia, not just Joe Biden, although it certainly applies to him. So it's interesting to see this compilation of the five most egregious insults Joe Biden has hurled at American voters.

The late and legendary insult comedian Don Rickles never ran for president, but in Joe Biden we could have a pretty close approximation of what it might have looked like. 

It started four years ago, with calling voters "dog faced pony soldiers," or "fat," or telling them he knew why their wife left them, and the insults haven’t slowed down one bit.

Let's take a look at the top five ways the president is insulting us every day.

"My first question to Fox News is this: How could you possibly pick five out of the long list of stupid things this president has said?

"Anyway, let's take a look at the list.

Joe Biden Ruined Normandy Trip For Thousands Of Young Americans For A Cynical Photo Op – PJ Media   . . ."The trip to Normandy became a multi-day function for the Biden administration after the awkward mess of yesterday’s D-Day honoring ceremony, as Matt Margolis reported here on P.J. Media. At the last minute, Biden reportedly changed his plans to visit the American cemetery in Brittany for a photo opportunity, which wouldn’t ordinarily cause much of a stir. In this instance, he displaced thousands of young Americans who were supposed to play at a parade scheduled long before Biden’s visit. The event was canceled to accommodate President Biden." . . .

Connecticut City Rejects Flying ‘Thin Blue Line’ Flag to Honor Fallen Trooper; Flies Pride Flag at Half Staff Instead

  American Greatness (amgreatness.com)  

"Council members in Wethersfield, Connecticut voted against flying a “Thin Blue Line” police flag in honor of Trooper First Class Aaron Pelletier, who was killed last week in a hit and run, opting instead to hoist a gay pride flag at half staff.

"Pelletier was conducting a routine traffic stop in Southington, Connecticut last Thursday, when he was hit outside of his cruiser by Alex Oyola-Sanchez, a Puerto Rican native who had already been convicted of third-degree murder, attempted homicide and other felonies.

SAY HIS NAME: Connecticut State Trooper Aaron Pelletier.

"Oyola-Sanchez faces multiple charges, including “second-degree manslaughter, operating under the influence of alcohol/drugs and failure to move over.”

"Pelletier, who leaves behind a wife and two young boys, was laid to rest on Wednesday.

"During a meeting Monday night, a Wethersfield councilman requested that the Thin Blue Line police flag be raised during his funeral services.

" 'I think it’s the least we can do,” said Rich Bailey, Wethersfield councilman.

"But the town council shot it down in a vote of 5 to 3.

"Wethersfield’s Eyewitness News asked councilman Miki Duric why the police flag was voted down.

"Duric claimed he voted no because it would’ve violated the town’s flag policy, which stipulates that all flag requests must be made at least 30 days in advance." . . .

"Wethersfield’s town council — which flipped from Republican to Democratic in 2023 after four years under GOP control — voted 5-3 along party lines Monday against temporarily hoisting the pro-cop flag in front of Town Hall.

It’s time for Biden to leave

 Don Surber - American Free News Network   "His incompetence, impotence and now incontinence are just too much.

Where is Dandy Don Meredith when we need him? Someone should be singing, “Turn out the lights, the party’s over,” because Joe Biden’s presidency must end. His appearance at the D-Day commemoration at Normandy was certainly the final proof that he cannot continue no matter how hard his staff tries to hold him up.

"The American press gave Biden a pass, but the Brits were under no pressure from a vengeful deep state to toe any line.

"The Mirror reported, “Joe Biden sparks concern as onlookers fear he ‘pooped his pants’ after he ‘can’t figure out’ how to sit down.

" 'The President made a few noticeable gaffes while meeting with the French leader for a D-Day event on Thursday morning.”

The Express reported, “Joe Biden pulled away from D-Day event by wife Jill as viewers ask: ‘What’s going on?’”

"Taking him away to the limo because he could not make it through the ceremony was reminiscent of the time Hillary showed up so hung over that she could not make it through the commemoration of 9/11 in 2016.

Bonchie tweeted, “100-year-old D-Day veterans were able to finish the ceremony in Normandy and stick around to shake hands. Joe Biden had to be rushed away by his wife.

“Never has one stiff-legged shuffle off stage said so much.”

"The media was quick to deny that people saw what they saw." . . .

Douglas Murray: Take off the masks, you anti-Israel cowards!

 Anti-Israel aren't really scared of COVID — they're hiding shame of their prejudice (Douglas Murray: nypost.com)

I consider the attraction of anti-Israelism for many as being nothing deeper than the fashion statement of the really neat scarf. What does Greta Thunberg know about anything but how great she looks in that sheet and the chants? TD

. . . "Well I would like to suggest a reason. And it has nothing to do with CDC data, vaccination rates, COVID or anything similar.

"The reason is that they are bullies. And like all bullies they are at the same time terrible cowards.

"Despite pretending that they are world-beating revolutionaries the protestors who now push people in this city around are trying to keep their identities hidden.

"Perhaps it is because they are professional agitators — drafted in by a range of left-wing “grass-roots” organizations to cause trouble. That is certainly what many people — including the police — believe.

"Perhaps these people want to cover their faces because the media in this country might just notice that the same professional revolutionaries tend to turn up wherever there is trouble, almost as if they are paid to do so.

"Presumably they want to keep their identities hidden as much as possible.

"But what about the students at Columbia and elsewhere who want to sit in their tents and “bravely” protest about something they don’t know anything about?

"Maybe, just maybe, they too are not actually afraid of COVID. What they are afraid of are the opinions they are espousing.

"Because they know, at some level, that bullying other students and shrieking about things they don’t know is not a good look. They want to intimidate people, but they never want to be intimidated themselves.

"So I have a suggestion. At all future protests in New York State let’s have a masks off policy.

"The KKK was the last organization in America that was so proud of their beliefs that their members covered their faces during protests.

"Now “Students for Jihad” are doing the same job. For strangely similar reasons.

So let’s demand they take the hoods off too.

"Sorry — I meant masks." . . .
