Qatar is a small country of less than 5,000 square miles that wields enormous power due to its immense wealth, with which it has bought off politicians throughout Western Europe and North America. It has used its money to promote the jihadist Islam of the Muslim Brotherhood (M.B.) variety, along with anti-Western and antisemitic incitement. According to Dr. Udi Levy, former head of the Mossad’s Unit of Economic War against Terror, “Qatar has conquered Europe” and has great influence on some of the richest people in the U.S., many of them Jews, who lobby for this terror-supporting authoritarian regime.

Hamas on Saturday began to release all six remaining live Israeli hostages promised under the first stage of the ongoing cease-fire deal — as one heartbroken family finally received the remains of a mother murdered in terrorist captivity.
The two newly freed hostages — Tal Shoham and Avera Mengistu — were received by members of the International Committee to the Red Cross at the handover site in Rafah in southern Gaza.
The remaining four hostages — Eliya Cohen, Omer Shem Tov, Omer Wenkert and Hisham Al-Sayed — are expected to be released at a different location in the Gaza Strip later on Saturday.

By now, most Americans have probably heard of the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Spearheaded by Elon Musk, the watchdog group has been instrumental in identifying the institutional waste plaguing America’s vast and unaccountable federal bureaucracy.
While DOGE has received much-deserved attention for its invaluable work, widespread bureaucratic waste is hardly an issue exclusive to the federal government. Across America’s 50 state governments, taxpayer money is similarly being used to subsidize profligate spending projects and feckless unelected bureaucrats whose interests often run counter to those of voters — even in states run by Republicans.

President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday that affirmatively pulled all the "independent" boards, commissions, and agencies that have proliferated since the Roosevelt administration under the management of the White House. The order, titled Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies – The White House, states, "For the Federal Government to be truly accountable to the American people, officials who wield vast executive power must be supervised and controlled by the people’s elected President."

President Donald Trump calls tariff "the most beautiful word in the dictionary." This refutes the orthodoxy of unilateral free trade championed for hundreds of years beginning with the 1776 "Wealth of Nations" author Adam Smith, widely known as the father of modern economics. But economist Donald J. Boudreaux of the American Institute for Economic Research and former economics department chair at George Mason University writes Smith offered four exceptions to the principle of unilateral free trade: "These exceptions are, in the order in which Smith took them up, protective tariffs for purposes of -

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s foundation hid past grants to leftist causes after its funding of lawfare groups opposing President Donald Trump surfaced.
When Natalie Winters, co-host of Steve Bannon’s War Room, posted that Zuckerberg gave nearly $2 billion to the leftist Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF) — which bankrolls the anti-Trump legal group Protect Democracy — the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative’s website listed more than 5,000 grants, many to leftist groups, from 2018 to June 2024. Soon after — on Feb. 14 — Zuckerberg’s foundation scrubbed its website, only listing 680 grants “from January 2024.”

Gov. Hochul falls short on governing skills, but there is one area where she’s the absolute top of the heap: No politician shrinks faster in the face of big problems than she does.
Exhibit A is her sudden decision to hold showy meetings Tuesday about whether to remove Mayor Adams.
It was a strange move to start with, topped only by her belatedly punting the decision to another dayIt ranks as one of the most bizarre political stunts New York has ever seen.She injects herself into a no-win volatile situation yet offers no solutions.Her unsteady hand in a moment of crisis adds to the swirling doubts about the city’s immediate future.

[T]he ultimate responsibility lay with USAID. The $40 million on the tarmac was part of a much larger scheme under which USAID and the State Department provided over $1.7 billion in funding to the UN, which then shipped $2.9 billion in cash to Afghanistan.
Under the guise of humanitarian needs, $1.7 billion was provided to the UN, which used some of the money to buy dollars to fly into Afghanistan, to trade for Afghan currency, which the U.S. had also arranged to have printed on behalf of the Taliban.
The cash is not provided to the Taliban or DAB by the UN, but by the groups funded by the UN.

President Trump’s historic victory in the November election gave him a clear mandate from the American people. And so far, he hasn’t wasted any time getting to work. In his first month back in office, Trump signed 45 Executive Orders (EO) in an effort to put America first and undo much of the damage created by the Biden administration. And that’s especially true with his executive actions to unleash American energy. For four years under President Biden, the American people were forced to endure an administration that was hellbent on pursuing a net zero agenda. Across the country,

President Trump congratulated US Central Command forces Monday for conducting a successful weekend airstrike in Syria targeting a senior “terrorist leader.”
“US forces conducted a precision airstrike against a member of al-Qaeda in Syria this weekend,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The terrorist leader was working with al-Qaeda across the region.”
“Congratulations to CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla, and the US warfighters who dealt Justice to another Jihadi threatening America and our allies and partners,” the president added.

Voters who helped deliver a crucial state to Donald Trump in November’s election have a message for the new president’s administration: Keep it coming.
According to a report from Axios, all the swing voters the outlet included in two focus groups last week said they approved of the job President Trump is doing in his first month in office.
In addition, they also said they were behind, for the most part, the job being done by “special government employee” Elon Musk at the Department of Government Efficiency.
The Arizona focus groups, conducted by the Engagious and Sago polling firms, did not contain “a statistically significant sample like a poll,” Axios noted.

Sudan's Growing Crisis: Famine, Displacement, and Unprecedented Suffering
Stopping Iran's growing foothold in Africa is not just about Israel's security — it's about protecting U.S. economic and military interests.
The consequences of inaction will be felt at home, from higher energy prices to increased global instability. The time to act is now.
"The war has lasted too long, cost too many lives, and caused immense suffering. What we seek to do, alongside our partners, is call for a humanitarian pause to allow aid to reach those in need." — Reem al-Hashimy, Minister of State for International Cooperation at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, February 14, 2025.
