Something remarkable happened Monday morning on C-SPAN, and it captures exactly what President Trump has accomplished with his brokered peace deal between Israel and Hamas. A lifelong Democrat from New York was moved to tears by Trump’s speech to the Knesset. The caller, identifying himself as a conservative Democrat, phoned into C-SPAN and promptly broke down in tears live on air. He was overcome with emotion discussing Trump's historic speech and the peace agreement that brought the remaining Israeli hostages home after two years in captivity. Trump stood before Israeli lawmakers and declared words that once seemed impossible.

The Trump haters on the left will be VERY unhappy with peace. They need war, strife, anarchy and hate to try to upset everything so that they can gain and wield power. I hope that this stops Hamas from their violence, but history has shown that the only good Hamas is a dead Hamas. Perhaps they can change, but they seem extremely resistant to peace and normalcy.

FTA - "A Democrat, moved to tears by a Republican president’s historic achievement, begged the nation to reject extremism—from Antifa terrorists to candidates like Mamdani—and urged Americans to live life with love. He recognized that this peace deal shows what’s possible when leadership prioritizes results over ideology." All Americans regardless of political bent must come to understand what this person just said. Forget about party affiliation. And forget for the minute about who is in power. It's all about leadership, morality, and spirituality, and all about what President Donald J. Trump brings to America and the free world. Xi, Putie, Kimmie, Castro, and Maduro et al, you understand? May today's events bring a lasting peace to free men and women everywhere. Putie, your comments, please with regard to your war on Ukraine and just exactly when do you plan to surrender like you have in every other war you started. Xi, your thoughts, please, while trying to keep a million and a half citizens in your workforce happily employed. As for you, Kimmie over in NORK, what is wrong with you, pal, and when do you plan to revert back to your favorite video games and get the heck out of our sight.

The main reason there is peace is that Isreal damn near killed all of Hamas.

When we argued that Joe Biden couldn't have possibly cut this deal, we had no idea how correct we had been. To some surprise, Hamas actually and finally gave up its last remaining living hostages today. In doing so, they also parted with the last bit of leverage they have in order to come out of the war they launched two years ago with any sort of face-saving concessions. So why did they agree to this capitulation? Donald Trump left them no choice, having cut off every other diplomatic and military option, as the Wall Street Journal reports today: Egypt and Qatar told Hayya the deal

JERUSALEM/CAIRO - Hamas handed over some of its last surviving Israeli hostages on Monday, a key step in ending two years of devastating conflict in Gaza as part of a ceasefire deal pushed by U.S. President Donald Trump, who landed in Israel to address the parliament. With hundreds of cheering people gathered in Tel Aviv's Hostages Square, Israel's military said it had received the first seven of 20 surviving hostages after their transfer out of Gaza by the Red Cross. "I am so excited. I am full of happiness. It's hard to imagine how I feel this moment. I didn't sleep all night," said Viki Cohen, mother of hostage Nimrod Cohen,

ABC's This Week host, aging Clintonite muppet George Stephanopoulos, found himself playing the role of a rotisserie chicken as he attempted to talk about anything but the Schumer Shutdown with Vice President JD Vance. You'd think the government shutdown would be a major item for Stephanopoulos, but as the administration is refusing to break ranks and seems to be turning the crisis of no appropriations into an opportunity to slash the government workforce. Stephanopoulos led off with a nonsense assertion that U.S. troops would be peacekeepers in Gaza. From there, he went to National Guard deployment and the flaccid resistance of a federal judge and Illinois's morbidly obese governor, J.B. Pritzker.

Even Barack Obama’s former Homeland Security secretary is blaming Democrats for the government shutdown—a stunning admission that underscores just how disastrous the party’s obstruction has become. Jeh Johnson, who led the Department of Homeland Security during the Obama administration, appeared on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins and openly broke with his party, warning that Democrats are making a “mistake” by filibustering the CR and shutting down the government. Collin began by playing a clip of a past exchange between her and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who placed the blame squarely at the feet of Democrats for the Reductions in Force

Democrats spent years insisting that providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants was a moral imperative. They haven’t exactly kept that a secret. During the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, every single candidate promised their healthcare plans would cover healthcare for illegals. Now, though, they've shut down the federal government to protect funding streams for these programs—but are pretending that’s not what they are after. Nevertheless, we know what their objectives are. But their crusade to give free healthcare to illegals has hit a bit of a snag. Faced with exploding costs and healthcare systems on the brink of collapse, blue state governors are quietly pulling the plug on their own sacred cow.

Donald Trump began his promised mass purge of federal workers Friday, as more than 4,100 people were laid off as the government shutdown rolls on. The president previewed the pink slips in a press conference in the Oval Office earlier Friday, blaming them and the shutdown on the Democrats. 'It'll be a lot and it'll be Democrat-oriented because we figure they started this thing. It'll be a lot of people, all because of the Democrats,' Trump said. It's the biggest set of firings in government since Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) purge early in Trump's second term.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Friday that “there seems to be no reason” to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping as part of an upcoming trip to South Korea after China restricted exports of rare earths needed for American industry. The Republican president suggested that he was looking at a “massive increase” of import taxes on Chinese products in response to Xi’s moves. “One of the Policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. “There are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration.”

Joe Biden's post-presidency has been rough, to put it mildly. Nearly nine months after Donald Trump reclaimed the White House, Biden is holed up in Wilmington, Delaware, grappling with a reality that must feel like political exile. He's dealing not just with the sting of losing power, but also the inability to sell access and enrich his family. Though he won’t admit to the latter. The irony couldn’t be thicker. After years of attacking Trump and using the Justice Department in a desperate bid to put his successor behind bars, Biden now finds himself being told by his own advisers to stay quiet and act like a traditional ex-president.

Hillary Clinton heaped some rare praise on her former arch-enemy Donald Trump for his handling of the Gaza peace deal in a recent interview. “I really commend President Trump and his administration,” Clinton told CBS News 24/7 Friday. “As well as Arab leaders in the region, for making the commitment to the 20-point plan and seeing a path forward for what’s often called the day after,” she added. Clinton’s comments came just a day after Hamas agreed to Trump’s peace plan in a stunning move that is expected to end the two year war that’s ravaged the Gaza Strip.

Hamas terrorists have started to free the last remaining hostages in Gaza Monday morning, following a historic peace deal brokered by President Trump. The freed individuals had spent over 730 days in captivity after they were among a group of 250 kidnapped from southern Israel and dragged into Gaza during Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7, 2023 invasion. An elated mother of one of the freed Israeli hostages was able to video chat with her son for the first time since he was taken captive by Hamas during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

Washington, D.C.'s longtime congressional delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton, is facing an uphill challenge to reelection with less than $7000 in cash on hand. Norton, an 88-year-old Democrat who has held office as the district's non-voting member in Congress since 1991, only raised $3,227.30 between July 1 and Sept. 30, according to a quarterly disclosure her campaign filed Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission, NOTUS reported. As a House delegate, Holmes Norton can vote on bills when they are in committee but cannot cast final floor votes. As of Sept. 30, Norton's campaign had just $6,477.50 in cash on hand and is $90,000 in debt to Norton, who personally loaned her reelection committee money

The transgender issues that helped propel Donald Trump to his 2024 election victory continue to trap and flummox Democrats. The latest Democrat caught by the transgender tar baby is Rep. Abigail Spanberger, the Virginia Democrat running for governor. Spanberger was debating her Republican opponent, Lt.

"[Spanberger] voted for men nude in girls locker rooms, in bathrooms, and in girls' sports." Earle-Sears was referring to Spanberger's vote for the Equality Act, which allows transgender people to use the bathroom and locker room

Democrats shut down the government partly to force Republicans to extend COVID-era boosts in Obamacare subsidies that Dems once called “temporary” but now say are needed to keep the program viable. This reveals what a true disaster Obamacare has been, as its critics warned even as Dems were ramming it into law with not a single Republican vote in 2010. Blindly tossing fresh trillions down that hole is nuts: Time to fix it — or scrap it altogether. The 10-year cost of Dems’ current demand totals almost a half-trillion dollars, to benefit primarily insurers and wealthier Americans. Under the expiration that Democrats wrote into law, 1.6 million Americans (just 0.5% of the population)

In 2018, President Trump was riding high on a wave of winning. Republicans had never had it so good, but Democrat operatives plotted their comeback, flooding Republican-held Congressional districts where Hillary Clinton had won. Millions poured into Orange County, California, as Democrats sensed an opportunity to flip Congressional seats blue for the first time in decades, if not in history. Gavin Newsom, then the Lieutenant Governor, was campaigning for Governor, shoring up all the support he could for Democrats running for Congress across Orange County, including Katie Porter, a law professor from UC Irvine. A fat, squat character actress of a candidate, no one could imagine this hog winning anything.

Here’s how the game works. In Trump’s first administration, radical federal judges just issued rulings blocking government actions. As the second term admin has been more aggressive about pursuing Supreme Court interventions, federal district judges are issuing frivolous rulings intended to barrage SCOTUS with a constant need to intervene. And that’s followed by complaints to the media that the Supreme Court is seizing too much power and undermining the judiciary.
