IDF Recovers Body of Last Israeli Hostage In 'Large-Scale' Gaza Retrieval Operation -

 Conservative Review   

"Netanyahu made clear on Monday that his next objective "is not reconstruction," saying Hamas must be fully disarmed and expelled from Gaza before Israel green-lights any efforts to rebuild." 

"Israel on Monday recovered the remains of its final missing hostage, 24-year-old Ran Gvili, who died fighting Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023, the Israel Defense Forces announced.

" 'Sergeant First Class Ran Gvili, who served in the Israeli Police Special Forces, 24 years old at the time of his death, fell in combat on the morning of October 7th, 2023, and his body was abducted to the Gaza Strip," the IDF said. "With this, all hostages from the Gaza Strip have been returned."

Ran Gvili

"As the IDF statement notes, all 251 living and dead hostages are now back in Israel after more than two years since Hamas's attack. The terror group, battered from its war with Israel, had claimed to face difficulties locating Gvili's body, leading the IDF to launch a "large-scale" retrieval operation in northern Gaza. Israeli forces scoured several sites in Gaza where they believed Hamas had placed Gvili's body during the war, including a cemetery in the Strip's northern section and other areas along the ceasefire line, eventually confirming the identity of the remains at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine."In a video posted to social media, Israeli president Isaac Herzog removed his yellow hostage pin, signaling that the nation is finally healing more than two years after Hamas's brutal terror rampage. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after Gvili's body was returned that Israel is now prepared to enter the second phase of the plan, which will include "disarming Hamas and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip."

"Gvili's body emerged as a central sticking point for Israel after Hamas had located and handed over each living and dead hostage as part of the ceasefire agreement. The operation to retrieve his remains came just after Middle East peace envoy Steve Witkoff met with Netanyahu to press Israel to begin phase two of the process, which calls for the opening of aid corridors and the beginning of reconstruction efforts. While Israel on Sunday agreed to open the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt—a pipeline both for aid and weapons for Hamas—it appears that the two sides have differing visions on what the next step will entail."

"Democrats have normalized attacking federal officers. This is the bloody result. Enough is enough."

"On Saturday, the national media had a nervous breakdown over a border patrol agent shooting and killing a domestic terrorist who brought a gun and dozens of rounds of ammo to a “mostly peaceful protest.”

The New York Times best articulated the media spin: “An ICU nurse shot by federal agents was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said. A New York Times video analysis shows he was holding a phone, not a gun.”

"This reminds me of the New York Times story in 2014: “Autopsy Shows Michael Brown Was Struck at Least 6 Times.”

Not until Paragraph 9 did NYT bother to tell readers that the doctor never examined the body and based his report on X-rays. The doctor said the X-rays showed Brown was running from the cop. The waved his usual $10,000 fee.

Two months later, the real autopsy showed Brown was running toward the cop.

"Once again, a lie made it around the world before the truth got out—after Ferguson, Missouri, was devastated by riots. But now we have X to separate New York Times lies from the truth.

REPORTER: “You just made claims that the individual posed a threat to law enforcement.”

KRISTI NOEM: That is no claim. It is the facts. This individual showed up to a law enforcement operation with a weapon and dozens of rounds of ammunition. He wasn’t there to peacefully protest. He was there to perpetuate violence.

And he was asked to show up, and to continue to resist, by a governor who is irresponsible and has a long history of corruption and lying.

"At her press conference, Noem also said:

"Hundreds of protesters then showed up at the scene, they began to obstruct into assault law enforcement officers, we saw objects being thrown at them, including ice and other objects, and a rampant assault began—and even an HSI officer agent’s finger was bitten off." . . .

Gavin the Grinch; How Does He Always Win In California?

 The Gen Z cheers for this guy sound like the same cheers one hears for Kamala, Antifa, Hamas, and pretty much every inane statement Whoopi, Joy, and Sunny make on "The View". TD

Newsom Does Davos  . . . "Many Californians would say a walnut is too large. Newsom’s arrogance and ignorance are astounding. For instance, in 2025, on his podcast (because what else does the governor of the nation’s largest state have to do?), he said it was “deeply unfair” that boys were playing in girls’ sports when discussing the trans issue with the late Charlie Kirk.

"Newsom’s ignorance is overwhelming. He’s also strangled the state with his willingness to lie to fit whatever narrative he wants the leftist press to report. Still, he can’t hide from how the state went from a huge surplus to a budget shortfall during his tenure. In 2019, his first year in Sacramento, there was a $21.4 billion budget surplus. His latest budget will have at least an $18 billion deficit. Maybe Newsom should take some economic classes at a Minneapolis Learing center." . . .

"Gavin Newsom is currently the Democrat Party’s leading presidential candidate for 2028. Those who like homeless drug addicts living on their street, thugs robbing them while shopping, fire hydrants without water, billion-dollar high-speed trains going nowhere, taxes raping their paycheck, and illegal aliens getting benefits citizens can’t afford will enthusiastically shout, “Patrick Bateman for President in 2028!' ”   . . . Robin M.

The California governor, widely expected to run for president in 2028 after he terms out of office this year, correctly figures that if he stays on offense, his own dismal record will be ignored — even if that offense is odd, off-putting, or oblique.

"California Republican Party Chairwoman Corrin Rankin panned Newsom’s speech, saying, “Governor Newsom told Californians that homelessness is down, crime is at record lows, schools are improving, and Los Angeles is recovering after the Palisades fires.

Starfleet Academy – GrrrGraphics

. . . "This new Trek seems to have forgotten that and concentrated instead on identity and intersectionality. There are very few white males in the Academy. Some of the characters don’t seem to be qualified to be there in the first place. They don’t strike me as ‘the best of the best.’ Getting into the Academy used to be notoriously difficult. Now there’s a ‘sensitive’ Klingon. Some of the behavior is not in line with Academy discipline. Some are way overweight and one main character is a downright criminal—a charming criminal, sure, but why is HE in the Academy? It’s not clear."

If you gather a bunch of idiots and put them in charge of the world’s major nations for a decade, you get roughly what we have now. Today is my favorite day of the year. My job for twelve months is to spot fools and prove that they are fools. My job today, one day a year, is to gather the biggest fools of all into a single ranking. The 2025 crop has easily surpassed all previous ones.

Pete Buttigieg, attempting to convert to the faith of common sense (still a long way to go).  After spending his entire career relentlessly promoting identity politics and “wokeism,” now that he’s out of power, he’s suddenly realized that the left will never win another election if it doesn’t distance itself from these obsessions that divide society. It’s not that he’s had a change of heart; he just wants to win elections. Buttigieg’s conversion miracle was wrought by Saint Donald Trump.

Beyond the Bar: Your 5-Step Basic Guide to Discovering Whether a Lawyer Is Shady

Dennis Beaver: Jewish World Review

"If you're looking to retain an attorney, you might have heard: "Check their state bar's website profile, because it will reveal anything negative."

"That is bad advice.

"While it's useful to look at a lawyer's profile to confirm that they're licensed to practice law, if there are complaints filed by dozens of clients over several years, you might never see them. Besides that, the absence of bad stuff on their profile is no assurance that you are dealing with an ethical attorney.

"Please take a moment and read my article Why a Law Firm Secretly Recording Client Conversations Is Wrong (and Illegal), written last year, and ask yourself, "Would I hire this attorney?". . . 

Here are some steps you can take to explore a lawyer's reputation with clients.

1. Begin your search with Google, typing into the search bar: (name of attorney) and then add each of these search terms (do the search for each term separately)" . . .

2. Next, read Yelp comments, beginning with the one- and two-star reviews. While the four- and five-star comments will be interesting, even though it is illegal to falsify glowing praise, some lawyers are just like Jim Carey's character in the film Liar, Liar.  Red flags to watch for include comments such as: . . .

3. Check local court records to see what might not be covered in reviews. Has the lawyer been sued for malpractice? What was alleged? Was there a settlement? How much?

"Has the attorney been sued often for stupid things, like not paying the rent or the company that repairs office equipment or even paying employees their wages? People are consistent, and you don't need that craziness." . . .

4. Ask around. "If you have a court case and know someone who works in your local sheriff's department, ask if they know a court bailiff who would be able to share their assessment of the lawyer." . . .

5. Once you get to the interview phase, watch for more red flags.   "If the lawyer says, "I can guarantee we will win," run the other way. It is illegal for a lawyer to guarantee a result.

"If you can't get a reasonable answer to, "How much will you be charging me?" find someone who became a lawyer to help clients rather than think only of their bank balance."

On social media, I keep hearing a question from the Left, usually asked with a kind of contrived confusion: How did Americans elect Donald Trump? . . .

Some minor compression of text for space, but no deletions, TD

Senator Chris McDaniel; (R-MS).  

NOT Eric Swalwell

 . . . "Truth is, it’s not complicated.

"For years, a political and cultural class decided regular Americans were the problem. Not by accident. On purpose.

They mocked American traditions like they were embarrassments. Treated faith as something outdated or foolish. Raised taxes while lecturing folks that it was for their own good. Turned white, working-class men into a punchline, then acted stunned when those men stopped listening.

They went even further. They argued America itself was rotten. That its institutions were inherently racist. And if you dared disagree, even calmly, even respectfully, you weren’t just wrong. You were a racist. A sexist. A bigot. Before long, the words got uglier. Nazi. Traitor. Enemy.

Disagreement wasn’t answered. It was condemned. People weren’t debated anymore. Instead, they were simply dehumanized.

They didn’t do it alone. They had lots of help. The press nodded along. Universities eagerly enforced the rules. And before long, those ideas were pushed straight into classrooms. Kids barely old enough to read were being told what to think about their country, their history, and even their own parents.

All the while, the sneer never went away. Folks in coastal cities looking down their noses at anyone from a flyover state. Calling whole regions a landmass. Acting like places like Mississippi were something to apologize for rather than call home.

They scoffed at the country’s founding as if it were an old mistake. Talked openly about tearing down America’s basic structures and rebuilding something new. Then they flirted with socialism like it was progress, acting confused when people who value independence recoiled.

They pushed social experiments into schools, workplaces, and private spaces without asking. Bathrooms. Locker rooms. The idea that biology doesn’t matter anymore. And not just acceptance, but celebration. Go along, or be branded hateful.

And always, there was the tone. Forever the tone. The lectures. The scolding. The moral superiority. The message that disagreement wasn’t just incorrect, it was immoral.

Eventually, Americans had enough. Not in some revolutionary way. Just worn down. Tired of the never-ending drama. Tired of being told they were evil for believing what they’d believed their whole lives. Tired of being told to change just for the sake of change.

I’m from Ellisville, Mississippi. Just another small town dotting the landscape. But down here, folks know what that feels like. Like anyone, we are flawed people. But we work. We raise families. We go to church. We mind our business. And we don’t take kindly to being called names by people who’ve never set foot in our towns but somehow think they know better.

Trump wasn’t a philosophy. He wasn’t a manifesto. He was a correction.

A blunt response to a ruling class that refused to listen. A way of saying enough is enough. Not because Americans wanted chaos, but because they wanted respect. And maybe to be left alone.

That’s it. No mystery. No hysteria. Just cause and effect.

So you wanted drama, and boy, did you get it. You pushed. You scolded. You sneered. And in the end, the rest of us should probably be thankful.

Because nothing opened the eyes of average Americans like being lectured to by unemployed twenty-something-year-old hipsters and perpetually disgruntled liberal women. And nothing could have done it faster than watching them do it in real time. You liberals didn’t persuade people. You woke them up. You didn’t win hearts. You hardened them.

And without ever meaning to, you became your own undoing."

Democrats Apparently Hate Western Civilization

 Issues & Insights

"By 2025, it’s obvious “the danger of Sharia law is growing” in the U.S. This is happening largely “in enclaves of Muslim communities and surrounding areas, many of which are composed of significant numbers of imported foreign nationals from predominantly Islamic nations such as Somalia, Iraq, and Syria,” says the Center for Renewing America."

"The West gave the world the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, two of the most important moments in human history. The political left apparently sees them as anathemas, though, and is determined to surrender our hard-earned culture to barbarians.

Immigration has always been a part of our American story. But successful immigration depends on assimilation, on the migrants’ ability and willingness to become Americans, which, we have no trouble in asserting, has been heart, mind, and backbone of Western Civilization for at least a century. The U.S. didn’t create Western Civilization, but it has nurtured it and not just kept it alive but enriched it.

It’s been a great run, but American Democrats and their leftist counterparts in Europe are intent on wrecking it. Why else would they promote and defend an immigration scheme that is corrupting our culture?

We’re not living through a clash of civilizations as much as we are suffering from a conflict between the civilized and the uncivilized, and it’s more than simply poor manners on the part of the latter.

With the exception of a few on the right, European leaders have done their best to cover up the rape gangs, in which migrants routinely abuse young girls, some of them adolescents. Would American Democrats respond differently if it were happening here? The obvious answer is no. (And maybe it is already happening in our country, we just don’t know about it yet. We didn’t know about the daycare fraud in Minnesota and other states until a young independent journalist exposed it.)

The Europeans, as well as their American apologists, have also gone to great lengths to deny the existence of no-go zones, where “Muslims flood in, legally or illegally” and establish separate “communities where civil authorities dare not go.” The compromised and cowardly leaders on the continent are ignoring an “internal enemy that is destroying their countries,” says McGill University anthropology professor Philip Carl Salzman.

At the same time, migrants are capturing the West in chunks. French President Emmanuel Macron was handed last year a report that told him “Islamists are infiltrating France’s republican institutions and are a threat to national cohesion,” the BBC (shockingly) reported.

“The report, drawn up by two senior civil servants, claims to find evidence for a policy of ‘entryism’ by the Muslim Brotherhood into public bodies like schools and local government.”   More...

It’s not about ICE. It’s about something much bigger.

Allan J. Feifer, American Thinker  

" . . .Democrats are doing nothing less than seeking the violent overthrow of our country. In law, we have the Doctrine of Clean Hands. Waltz and Frey certainly have plenty of dirt on their hands and can’t be part of any solution."

"Events in Minneapolis on Saturday lay bare a stark reality. The cabal of leftist politicians, Antifa, crazy women, and dedicated communists has decided to make a stand here, right now, in Minnesota. We are witnessing a boil in the process of bursting, and it won’t be pretty. Nowhere else in the country is ICE under attack as it is here. You must ask yourself: Why?

"Governor Waltz and Mayor Frey believe they can beat back the federal government and force ICE out of Minnesota. It is not simply a symbol or a heartfelt belief that all Minnesotans are neighbors; it’s much, much more. Listen to other Governors apparently reading from the same script as they demagogue ICE and the Border Patrol in lockstep with each other. Importantly, this isn’t just pushback against federal authority. After all, Obama deported more illegals than Trump without the pushback. There’s something more happening here.

"So, what’s going on? This is about acquiring permanent power.

"Democrats believe they must have open borders and a steady stream of illegal aliens that can be bought off with freebies, special carve-outs, and, if that does not work, welfare and benefit fraud binds them to their Democrat benefactors. Once they are so enmeshed, the Democrats’ diabolical trap springs shut. The endgame is revealed as we see all the illogical subterfuge, lies, scams, and outright hatred of America was just a smokescreen for what they really have been planning for the last fifty years—total domination of the American political scene...forever.

"You must admit, that’s worth an awful lot for them, and you don’t have to look too closely either, as they tell us what they want to do openly once they achieve the power necessary to fulfill their wildest wishes:

• Permanent open borders
• An enlarged Supreme Court that will resemble a baseball roster more than the height of jurisprudence.
• Two more states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, that are guaranteed to be reliably Democrat.
• Destruction of the Electoral College
• Control of the census to ensure “their” people are always counted
• Control of the purse strings so they can reliably buy votes and destroy our economic system
• Place internationalism and globalism over American laws

Trump reveals to The Post secret ‘discombobulator’ weapon was crucial to Venezuelan raid on Maduro

 Venezuelan raid on Maduro 

 “ 'The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react,” he said, saying that helicopters then appeared — “barely eight” — carrying about 20 US troops into the area."

Explosions in Caracas, Venezuela, January 3, 2026.

WASHINGTON — President Trump told The Post that a secret new weapon he calls “The Discombobulator” was essential to the daring US raid that captured Venezuela’s drug-dealing dictator Nicolas Maduro.

"Trump boasted that the mysterious weapon “made [enemy] equipment not work” when US helicopters swooped into Caracas on Jan. 3 to arrest Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on federal drug and weapons charges — without losing a single American life.

" 'The Discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Trump said during an exclusive interview in the Oval Office.

Trump commented on the weapon when asked about reports this week that the Biden administration purchased a pulsed energy weapon suspected of being the type that caused “Havana Syndrome.”

Not much is known about the weapon, but those reports followed on-the-ground accounts from Venezuela describing how Maduro’s gunmen were brought to their knees, “bleeding through the nose” and vomiting blood.

One member of the deposed strongman’s team of guards recounted afterward that “suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation.” . . . More...

Bovino Urges Press to Cover Real Child Crisis at the Border

RedState 

 "The anti-ICE, anti-immigration enforcement people are defending people who do this sort of thing. They are defending the sort of goblin who murdered Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin, and Laken Riley. These are the people they are defending. If anyone takes one thing away from this affair, it must be that."

"Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino spoke to assembled media about ongoing operations in Minnesota on Friday. As we might expect, the commander had some sharp opinions about press coverage of Border Patrol operations, but this time he specifically called out the media about the 300,000+ children lost during the Biden administration's non-enforcement of the border and immigration law." . . .

"Commander Bovino said:

(300,000+) Thousand plus, that were trafficked across that border. Now, when we've got the news media talking about children, I'd certainly love to hear more reporting on the 300,000 lost children. How about the 14 that we recovered at that pot farm a few months ago in Carpinteria, California, the 14 lost children trafficked across the border that were found working illegally on a pot farm in California? Very little reporting from the Minneapolis news media here, I didn't really hear much from you guys.

And then some of the more heinous crimes against children that are trafficked across the border that ICE and Border Patrol saw daily back when that border was out of control, over the past four years. I'll detail one for you, folks, that's truly heinous. Border Patrol agents there in the El Centro sector encountered, uh, a young child that was approximately three years of age, the child appeared to be drugged. Not with his parents. With strangers. 

Agents managed to wake the child up after doing what is known as a sternum rub, which is something that, which is a technique to wake someone up that may be induced by drugs. As the child woke up, we understood the child's parents were not, were not with him, and medical examination saw that this child had non-surgical sutures in his abdomen. Let me say that again. Non-surgical sutures in the child's abdomen. He was being trafficked across the border in that condition. That's not an isolated event with the U.S. Border Patrol where I face. We saw that many, many times. Drugged children, coming across the border, and guess what? Other than a couple of news outlets, I believe News Nation and Fox reported, nobody else would. Nothing on a child with non-surgical sutures in his abdomen and nobody knows why.  Entire article here.
