Link to Quote: Netanyahu says "strong indications" Hamas hostages were held in Gaza hospital (msn.com)
Yesterday Israeli forces uncovered a laptop inside the hospital that Hamas was using as a command center. The laptop contains information on the hostages. Israel and Hamas are now working on a deal for release of dozens of hostages. Weapons have also been found hidden within the hospital. Hamas has been using the hospital as both a command center and a staging area. The New York Times is still not sure if that is true. I guess they are still "waiting for the facts to come in." Does critical thinking include ignoring the obvious?
The body of one of the hostages was found outside the hospital. Rocket launchers were found hidden under a little girl's bed. The negotiations between Hamas and Israel involve 50 of the hostages.
The Chinese government has officially responded to Joe Biden's off script description of Chairmen Xi as a "dictator."
China responded with fury to Biden's remarks Wednesday.
"This statement is extremely wrong and irresponsible political manipulation," foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters on Thursday at a routine briefing, Reuters reported.

After the APEC meeting Joe gave Gavin Newson an endorsement. He said Newsom has been "one hell of a governor." I think many who have fled the state of California might disagree.

Rep George Santos received a scathing ethics report which accused him of duping his donors and using the campaign funds for personal amenities. Rep Gaetz is calling for his expulsion. Santos won't quit but says he will not run again.
A judge has paused the "gag order" placed on former President Trump.
Joe Biden and his staff will not face any legal liability over the classified documents found in his residences. Does anyone still think we have a single standard of justice?

Good morning
Question: Are Capitol police not allowed to use night sticks?
Here they are trying to contain violent pro-Palestinian demonstrators:
I watched the entire video. I did not see a single protester throw a punch until near the end when the police with riot gear on pushed a group of protesters down the street. Then a couple protesters did what I would call defending themselves.
For almost all of this video the police are trying to push the protesters back away from the building. The protesters are resisting the push, in some cases by linking arms, but not being violent.
You expect police to beat on these people?
I wish the police had been this organized when the Jan 6th mob started to break past the outside barriers.
Correct and that was enough to resist the police.
Those violent protestors should have been arrested & beaten with night sticks if they resisted, handcuffed and jailed.
You expect police to beat on these people?
ABSOLUTELY and RESISTING A POLICE OFFICER IS GROUNDS FOR THAT.
You see John. The police should always be one step up on those they must confront.
Your comment is crazy.
Yet you defended the murder of a protestor.
I guess JR doesn't realize that resisting the lawful orders of the police is a crime, a felony, and obstruction of justice, another felony. Also ignored is the fact that the demonstrators pepper sprayed the police, yet another crime.
I guess since Biden didn't get prosecuted for having classified documents, a precedent has been set. It's now not likely that Trump will be convicted either.
As he said: I did not see a single protester throw a punch until near the end
So, evidently resisting the police and pepper spraying them is ok, as long as you are a radical leftist protestor!
I guess since Biden didn't get prosecuted for having classified documents, a precedent has been set. It's now not likely that Trump will be convicted either.
You know as well as I: There is one set of rules for Biden and another for Trump.
I don't see it.
Your commentary remains delusional.
Sure, and I bet you believed Team Biden when they told you that they immediately notified the proper authorities upon "learning" of secret documents in Joe Biden's possession.
One can play guessing games all day, but in the end we need to deal with evidence.
There is sound (irrefutable even) evidence that Trump attempted to keep classified documents. Similarly, there is sound evidence that Biden cooperated with authorities.
Even after the classified documents were identified at Mar-a-Lago, Trump employed delay tactics and even tried to hide documents from authorities.
Read the indictment for all the legal details. There is no comparing the actions of Trump vs. those of Biden or Pence (or anyone else for that matter).
One can also do a little research and learn that Team Biden lied about his documents.
Of course, it isn't Trump, so perfectly fine.

You of course ignored the point I made.
The point is that Trump knowingly tried to keep the documents and even tried to hide classified documents from authorities.
Biden cooperated, so did Pence. Trump did not cooperate and even tried to interfere with the efforts to secure the classified documents.
Why do you attempt to defend Trump ... especially with such a feeble argument?
I didnt defend Trump.
Why persist in that falsehood?
Get a clue.
You repeatedly ignore the difference between what Trump did and what Biden and Pence did. You tried to make this look as though Trump was not at fault and was being falsely accused because he is Trump:
Do you acknowledge that Trump did not cooperate and even tried to interfere with the efforts to secure the classified documents?
I am not responsible for your misunderstanding of the words I wrote.
It is intellectually dishonest and a flat out lie that I defended Trump, and I dare you to quote me doing so.
Do you acknowledge that Trump did not cooperate and even tried to interfere with the efforts to secure the classified documents?
Will you acknowledge that it is a LIE that I defended Trump?
heh, no trumpster that's ever possessed functioning testicles can answer that question...
it has been asked and answered repeatedly.
But keep beating that dead horse!
Ashley Babbitt was not murdered. She was trying to violently enter a restricted area mere feet from the House chamber. The door Babbitt was trying to breach was BARRICADED. Do you think she was within her rights to try and violently bypass a locked and barricaded door in a high security area?
That cop's job is to shoot someone trying to do what she did.
If the J6 rioters , were, I dont know, Muslim, do you think the cop should have let them all in? If Babbitt got in, all of her pals would have got in to.
Our country need is upside down or down upside. Conservatives see police overreach and liberals see it as justified.
I’m amazed that many more weren’t shot. I’m not sure that I could have been that restrained.

Another crime these pro-HAMAS rioters committed was not procuring a license to "protest".
Maybe the violent mob should have watched the Pro Israel protest in Washington to see how to do a peaceful demonstration.
It was murder.
The only people who think it was murder are the extreme MAGA who are traitors themselves.
I dont think you could find a single non MAGA person in this country who thinks Ashley Babbitt was murdered.
What should the cop have done? Let her into the House? He didnt know if she was armed, he didnt know if there were any House members still in the chamber. What if she went in there and shot someone? Not to mention if she got on the other side of the door and overpowered the cop she could have let the rest of the mob in.
This "argument" is completely stupid. His job was to protect the congresspeople. He was absolutely doing that when he shot her.
No.
What argument?
One day maybe you will learn that there can only be one set of rules and laws for all of us.
You use that word traitor a lot. The only traitor I know of is the one who took money from China when he was thinking of running for president. He is being protected by the most corrupt AG in history. Anyone who would support them are assholes.
I would have let them in, let the democrats reap what they have sown.
The residents of DC are already reaping what they have sown.
Think of the old black woman that has to go on a long bus trip to get her prescriptions because Walgreens and CVS had to flee DC neighborhoods.
The IDF is inside the Hamas stronghold. Naturally the unbiased liberal media must change the narrative to downplay the hard evidence. Liberal academics are shitting their frillies because Israel now has irrefutable proof. Suddenly facts won't matter. Harvard elite are gonna push a fiction about Palestinian martyrs. Israel has assumed the proper attitude: fuck 'em all.
Now that Democrats are under attack from Palestinian terrorists, the political narrative will shift toward 'rich Jews' controlling the media. Democrats have always been adept at framing their bigotry as supporting the oppressed. Poor, poor terrorists are being treated unfairly. It has to be the Jews' fault.
how can anyone not think there's a double standard of justice whenever they see or hear about trump abusing the american judicial system, while knowing that every other citizen of the US would have their bail revoked and be in jail awaiting trial for any number of the activities he continues to get away with?
What activities is he getting away with? Defending himself and declaring his innocence?
The left wants to take away his freedom of speech. All these sham trials and prosecutions amount to is interfering with the coming election.
Trump standing outside the courtroom ranting and raving like a lunatic is a disgrace.
MAGA have abandoned all standards.
MAGA's are getting worse by the day.
The left's obsession with Trump is all-consuming.
They will become more unhinged if he becomes the nominee, and their cheese will slide completely off their crackers if it looks like he will beat Biden.
At this point, I am not sure some could become more unhinged.
What will be your reaction if the GOP nominee is Trump?
What will be your reaction if the next PotUS is Trump?
Will you be pleased or disappointed? Does it matter to you? If so, do you not express your opinion on this issue?
This is a news forum. People opine about news and especially presidential politics.
Surely not the freak out that we will see from the left.
Surely not the freak out that we saw from the left in 2016. But lets stick to reality, the nomination hasn't been made, so why deal in "what if's".
I do believe the expectation is for everyone to be constantly outraged by something to do with Trump daily.
Maybe for the hive.

Yeah, not going to happen. [deleted]
[deleted,] vote for or even consider voting for Trump. And it is somehow important to get it now.
