Yahya Sinwar’s body could be ‘bargaining
chip’ for hostages, Israeli sources say

The body of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar could be used as a “bargaining chip” to secure the release of hostages from Gaza captivity, Israeli sources told CNN on Saturday. Sinwar, who masterminded Hamas’s October 7 attacks, was eliminated by the IDF on Wednesday, and his body is currently being held at an undisclosed location. The terror leader, who was responsible for the massacre of over 1200 people and the abduction of over 250, may be the key to securing the return of hostages, two sources told CNN. Israeli authorities are reportedly discussing how to leverage Sinwar’s remains.

Two pro-life Wisconsin college students insist they were doing "God's work" by going into the lion's den and shouting pro-life, Christian messages at Vice President Harris during a rally. [SNIP] "We got a lot of backlash," Grant Beth, a University of Wisconsin-La Crosse junior, told Fox News on Sunday.
"I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked, and that's the biggest thing for me personally. In reflection of the event, Jesus was mocked. You know, his disciples were mocked, and that's okay. In reality, we did God's work, and we were there for the right reasons.
Oct 7 marked the grim anniversary of the worst massacre of Jews since Holocaust. The terrorist perpetrators of it however could celebrate the over $1 billion in foreign aid from the U.S.
46 Americans had been murdered on Oct 7 and another 12 taken hostage, but ahead of the Oct 7 anniversary, USAID announced that it was sending another $336 million in taxpayer-funded ‘aid’ to the terrorist occupied territories in Israel behind the killings of Americans.
USAID boasted that this “brings the total U.S. humanitarian assistance announced for the Palestinian people to more than $1 billion since October 2023.”
The terrorists had murdered over 1,000 people and gotten over $1 billion.

Ukraine is facing the threat of a huge influx of North Korean troops who are being trained by Russia's army.
At least 10,000 soldiers from the Pyongyang regime are understood to be taking part in manoeuvres before an expected deployment in regions close to the Ukrainian border.
The Kremlin is said to have paid North Korea to send personnel to the front in a deal struck on president Vladimir Putin's state visit to Kim Jong Un.
North Korea, like Iran, is also reported to be supplying weaponry and ammunition.

It was 1967. America was two years away from landing on the moon and Chinese Communists were eating people. The Communists hadn’t turned cannibal because of hunger, but politics.
Mao’s cultural revolution had already led to brutal lynchings of teachers and principals by the Red Guards unleashed by the Communist regime to purge all ideological deviation, but beating political opponents to death wasn’t enough for the radical mobs in the Guangxi region.
By the end of the cultural revolution, as many as 20,000 Communists had eaten human flesh.
Hamas planned a full-scale invasion of Israel on a much larger scale than the October 7 terror attacks, according to Israeli security officials.
A chilling 36-page document produced by the terror group reveals detailed plans to strike Israel by land, sea and air, and bomb three of Israel's tallest skyscrapers in a 9/11-style attack that would 'create an unprecedented crisis for the enemy, similar to the World Trade Center crisis in New York'.
The blueprint, obtained by The Mail on Sunday, details how Hamas intended to mobilise the Palestinian population to attack Israel to bring 'victory, beating fear into the hearts of our enemies'.
An Afghan refugee in Oklahoma City was just caught plotting an Election Day jihad massacre. The Justice Department announced this on Tuesday, and there was no reason to doubt it. After all, Afghanistan is a hotbed of jihad.
The accused perpetrator, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, got into the United States on a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV), which is only issued to people who aided American forces while they were in that country, so he might have been assumed not to be a jihadi. Still, he could have been practicing Muhammad’s dictum “War is deceit.” [SNIP] He worked for the CIA, which casts doubt upon every other aspect of this story.
“I say this as someone who’s known her since 1997: She’s trying,” Hala Hijazi assured a panel at an anti-Israel DNC event that once she was president, Kamala would crack down on Israel.
Hijazi, a Jordanian immigrant who has roots in Gaza, is close to Kamala and they both came up through the ranks together. The Muslim official and fundraiser had worked as a special assistant to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown whom she described as a “mentor”.
Hala Hijazi was there for all of Kamala’s races, raising money for her Senate campaign, promoting an event co-hosted by Willie Brown.
A pink-haired DEI trainer has slammed Oregon's forestry department for hiring on the basic of merit rather than identity.
Megan Donecker filed a complaint about her former boss Mike Shaw and moaned about him telling her that he sought the 'candidates most qualified for the job.'
DEI advocates like Donecker say hiring should be done through an 'intersectional lens' whereby applications from people of marginalized backgrounds are given greater weight.
Shaw, who earns $192,000-a-year as deputy head of Oregon's Department of Forestry, has been put on leave over Donecker's complaint.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer sparked disgust and anger on social media after she fed a Dorito to a kneeling podcaster in a video that went viral online.
The Michigan governor participated in an interview with feminist podcaster Liz Plank, but also published a short video of her feeding Nacho cheese Doritos to her as she knelt in front of the Michigan governor. [SNIP] It can only be described as a 'mockery of Catholics and the sacrament of Holy Communion' said the organization CatholicVote, adding 'not to mention the distasteful pornographic innuendo?'

Lebanese terror outfit Hezbollah has changed its tune: After spending weeks trumpeting an apocalyptic end for Israel, the cadre of bloodthirsty cowards is begging the Jewish state to let up.
“We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” whined Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem — for the first time not conditioning a truce on an end to the war in Gaza. Turns out bravely attacking your enemies with uncanny precision and skill, rather than begging them for peace, is effective as a military strategy. Who knew?
Doug Emhoff, Kamala’s powerful lawyer hubby, admitted to impregnating his nanny during his first marriage. The status of the child is unknown, but there are allegations that she suffered a miscarriage. [SNIP] The media refused to report on the allegation and only reported on Emhoff’s denial of the allegation.
Half of the political world focused Wednesday on a Daily Mail report that second gentleman Doug Emhoff “forcefully slapped ex-girlfriend for flirting with another man” at Cannes in 2012. Others (including Semafor) haven’t matched the reporting, and as of Wednesday evening the incident didn’t appear in The New York Times or top outlets.

Former President Barack Obama came out swinging at Friday’s rally in Arizona, questioning former President Donald Trump’s competence.
The 44th president sharply criticized his successor throughout the appearance in Tucson, taking aim at Mr. Trump’s ability to articulate policy positions and his age. Mr. Obama’s comments come just months after President Biden, 81, dropped out of the race over concerns about his coherence.
If elected, Mr. Trump, 78, would be the oldest president in U.S. history by the end of his term. “Along with his intentions, there is also a question of his competence,” Obama said. “He’s giving two, 2 1/2-hour speeches. Just word salads.

The United States is investigating an unauthorized release of classified documents that assess Israel’s plans to attack Iran, three U.S. officials told The Associated Press. A fourth U.S. official said the documents appear to be legitimate.
The documents are attributed to the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, and note that Israel was still moving military assets in place to conduct a military strike in response to Iran’s blistering ballistic missile attack on Oct. 1. They were sharable within the “Five Eyes,” which are the U.S., Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
Canada sure seems to be a popular destination for Americans who suddenly find themselves in a position where leaving the United States is a good idea - at least in their fevered imaginations. The problem is, these people, who are almost exclusively creatures of the loony left (yes, I know that's a redundancy) almost never follow through on their threats.
On Friday, Politico gave us some examples from Michigan - and these people are daffy.
“Oh, God, she has to win: I don’t want to live in a Trumpian hellscape,” said Erin Conklin, a 62-year-old retired homemaker and artist. “We might have to leave: Canada, if they’ll take us.”
The Overrated Obama

My Red State colleague, Jeff Charles, has already reported on former President Barack Obama’s recent attempted public shaming of black men who don’t want to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, supposedly because of their misogyny.
I would like to associate with most of his column. The one exception I have is to this statement – “it’s the type of mistake that Obama doesn’t normally make.”
I beg to differ. Actually, I think it is the type of mistake that Barack Obama often made.
You know, Obama is the guy who once said, in 2008, “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or
The Center for Immigration Studies' Todd Bensman, who's done groundbreaking reporting on the border surge, has been in southern Mexico documenting what is going on there and in Central America as the election battles out in the U.S.
He found this:
This, despite his earlier reporting that migrants are anticipating a Trump victory in November, and making a rush towards the U.S., before the anticipated drawbridge will be pulled. Bensman reports that Trump is known as 'el diablo' to the would-be illegal border crossers.
So the idea of building a huge permanent complex to house migrants, United Nations agencies, and NGOs would almost seem counterintuitive,

Claiming that her clothing sported a "threatening" message, a Marine Corps veteran with over 20 years of service to our country was forced by an airline employee to disrobe in public and don another piece of apparel before being allowed to reboard her flight, she says.
via KNTV:
A Bay Area veteran said she was shocked and humiliated after being kicked off a Delta flight at San Francisco International Airport because of a T-shirt she was wearing.
Catherine Banks was set to fly out of SFO on Wednesday before a flight attendant told her the shirt she wore was threatening.
While the WNBA is getting sellout crowds for the finals between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx, the league’s owners will not be making a return on their investment for the foreseeable future, sources close to the situation said. The NBA owns nearly 60 percent of the league. When one combines the NBA owners’ personal stakes in WNBA teams and the WNBA itself, the amount rises to 75 percent, a source with direct knowledge of the numbers said.
Four years ago, a sitting president — rejected by American voters — attempted to seize a second term anyway, plunging the nation into confusion, conflict and, in its last gasp, violence.
Now, Donald Trump’s political comeback has revived a sense of dread among the officials and institutions who stood in his way last time: Could it happen again?
Dozens of interviews with people deeply familiar or involved with the election process point to a clear consensus: Not only could Trump make a second attempt at overturning an election he loses, he and his allies are already laying the groundwork.
“The threat remains,”
Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis of ABC News delivered a frankly disgusting performance during the September presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The network had agreed that there would be no fact checks and no interruptions, yet the partisan duo proceeded to do exactly that. In fact, Trump was fact-checked at least five times, while Harris was left to say whatever the heck she wanted (much of it lies). Perhaps the most infamous moment came when Muir, using his most arrogant, self-important tone, interrupted Trump on crime statistics. Yes, the former president fought back and tried to explain why Muir was wrong,
For years, Democrats across the nation have reassured Americans that our elections are “safe and secure.”
But in a stunning reversal of their own rhetoric, Democrats in Tennessee are now raising alarms over voter irregularities.
The Shelby County Democratic Caucus held an emergency briefing on Thursday to address disturbing reports that voting machines were flipping votes from Democrat candidates to their Republican rivals.
Democrats like Tennessee State Representatives G.A. Hardaway and Antonio Parkinson, both from Memphis, joined Election Commissioner Vanecia Kimbrow at a press conference
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) posted a video to X on Thursday promoting efforts, alongside their friends at FEMA, engaged in disaster cleanup. It is a demonstration of government efficiency at its absolute best.
Or maybe not. They were promptly ratioed into oblivion for the effort.
Worried about hurricane cleanup in Florida after Hurricane Milton? Fear not. These folks are on the case!
"Along with our partners at @FEMA, we will continue with disaster recovery as a result of Hurricane Milton," the video is captioned. "The safety of the American people is our top priority."
CNN host Chris Wallace challenged The New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro’s defense of Vice President Kamala Harris, igniting a broader debate on Harris’s political positions and the rhetoric used against her by critics.
During a discussion on “The Chris Wallace Show” about the Harris campaign’s strategic shift away from focusing on former President Donald Trump as a “threat” to democracy, Garcia-Navarro expressed frustration with Republican criticisms labeling Harris as “far-left.” Wallace, however, remained unconvinced, leading to an exchange over Harris’s political identity and the ongoing rhetoric surrounding her.
