Hamas gathering forces and working to reassert control sure doesn’t look like Hamas disarming and accepting an international security force in charge of Gaza.

Weren’t we told to gush with praise for the brilliant diplomacy that solved the big problems? Could’ve sworn that, it was just this week.

Gaza: Hamas mobilises fighters as fears of internal violence mount

Clashes have already taken place between the group and an armed clan in Gaza City.

The boring and obvious take that anti-woke positions have the effect (and in many cases the intent) of making it acceptable in polite circles to be a degenerate racist was and remains correct.

I clearly remember John Kerry getting pilloried by fellow democrats for his 2016 speech about Bibi/Israel for speaking the obvious truth out loud.

When the reckoning comes, they will plead for the mercy they did now show and claim as their right the process they denied to others. We must have the courage and resolve to mete out to them the justice they have incurred.

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

Good afternoon, Marisa.
Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien.
Please feel free to direct any questions to them.
Respectfully,
James

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

A miracle they’re still alive. Elated for their families. Can’t help but think of all the hostages who would have also come home two years ago had Netanyahu chosen his own people over his thirst for war.

Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages.

The Israeli military says it has taken custody of them and will transport them onward to Israel. Follow AP's live updates.

Live updates: Israel says Hamas hands over first 7 hostages to Red Cross as part of Gaza ceasefire

The key exchange follows a breakthrough ceasefire after two years of war. U.S. President Donald Trump was also arriving in the region along with other leaders to discuss the U.S.-proposed deal and postwar plans.

Heaven forbid a hospital wants to make sure transplants have the best possible chance for success and not waste priceless donor organs. Transplantees basically have to take an entire pharmacy of meds already but I guess the COVID vax is just too much to ask of them🙄
