Uh, Hey, Forgot to Tell You: 600 More
American Hostages in Gaza
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 10/31/2023 1:13:52 PM
I was cruising around on Twitter and saw something that blew my mind: Hamas is refusing to let any of the 600 American citizens (and 400 Canadians, and who knows how many others from elsewhere) who were in Gaza at the time of the attacks to leave. Uh, wut? Why didn’t I know this before, and why hasn’t the media made a big deal of it? [Tweets] At issue are Americans who were in Gaza on 10/7, whom Hamas has refused to allow passage out of the country. The nugget was buried in a story about the suspension of flights out of Israel that had been facilitated by the State Department.

A federal appeals court upheld Illinois's strict ban on high-powered guns, rejecting the argument the law violated the Second Amendment rights of Illinois citizens.
“As we know from long experience with other fundamental rights, such as the right to free speech, the right peaceably to assemble, the right to vote, and the right to free exercise of religion, even the most important personal freedoms have their limits,” Judge Diane Wood, appointed to the appeals court by President Bill Clinton, wrote in the majority opinion. She was joined by Judge Frank Easterbrook, a Reagan appointee.
Bill Maher is back to bashing his side of the aisle with another New Rules segment that probably caused the woke Left to explode. The comedian was aghast at the surge in antisemitism, not that he was naïve in thinking it never existed. It is the world’s oldest form of bigotry, but this wave is different. Social media has made it easier for certain things to spread, like a virus, but Maher added that this was like a volcano going off. Maher said that the young people who are screaming for Jews to be killed have become like the neo-Nazis
It’s been almost a month since the devastating terror attacks of October 7 carried out against Israel by Hamas. We reported on the awful scene at the Supernova music festival near Gaza, where paragliding terrorists and trucks full of gunmen cut off the power before descending onto the crowd to mow down hundreds of innocent civilians who were just trying to enjoy the festivities.
At least 260 people were killed.
Now the State of Israel's official Twitter account has released a video of what first responders found in the aftermath, and it’s heartbreaking. At first, you don’t see much—
Bassam Eid is a brave man. A Palestinian activist who lives in the West Bank, he’s penned an op-ed in Newsweek that will surely drive anti-Israel leftists insane since it’s a) factual and b) goes against everything the liberal intelligentsia has spewed about the Jewish state for the past three weeks. There hasn’t been this much antisemitism spewed since Adolf Hitler’s political ascendancy in Germany.
From college campuses to the streets nationwide, the calls for genocide against Jews have reached a fever pitch. College administrations and faculty are either too scared to push back on the hatred or endorse it wholesale,
"Israel is a country that has no place in our land," Hamas official Ghazi Hamad told the Middle East's LBC International news network on Tuesday. "We must remove that country."
"It constitutes a security, military, and political catastrophe to the Arab and Islamic nation and must be finished." Hamad added, completely unnecessarily after the attacks on Israeli civilians we all witnessed on the weekend of October 7, "We are not ashamed to say this, with full force."
Selections from LBC's interview with Hamad were translated and posted by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). I've been relying on their good work since shortly after 9/11/2001.
I've written a lot lately about the allegations that a low-level staffer with the Michigan Wolverines football team had the task of stealing the signals of rival teams in order to gain an advantage against them. We initially learned that the original allegations were that Wolverines staffer Connor Stalions spied on Big Ten teams, but the circle of teams that he reportedly sought to spy on continues to grow.
Over the weekend, a former Division III coach came forward saying that Stalions paid him to spy on Michigan's opponents. The anonymous coach told ESPN that Stalions offered him money to video the signals from teams that played against the Wolverines.
How do you remake a remake like "Snow White" before it's even been remade? Ask the super-geniuses in charge at Disney these days, because their nine-figure reboot of the 1937 classic just got another nine figures tacked on to the production cost — and a one-year delay arriving at your local multiplex.
It seems that Disney has finally read the room and decided to ditch some of the worst elements of the movie that leaked earlier this year.
Originally titled "So Not White, One Dwarf, and the Six Painfully Intersectional Magical Fairyland Hipsters," [Editor's note: it was not originally titled that at all.]

At issue are Americans who were in Gaza on 10/7, whom Hamas has refused to allow passage out of the country.
The nugget was buried in a story about the suspension of flights out of Israel that had been facilitated by the State Department.
A Nevada man was arrested last week in connection to allegedly issuing ominous and antisemitic threats to a U.S. senator in the wake of Hamas’s bloody terror attack on Israel, according to a criminal complaint.
ABC7 reported:
John Anthony Miller, 43, allegedly began making the calls to the unnamed female senator on Oct. 11, four days after Israel’s war with Hamas began. […] While the senator is not named in the complaint, Sen. Jacky Rosen is Jewish, and Miller’s threats repeatedly seek to tie the lawmaker’s support for Israel to what he says is her Jewish background.
Miller is accused of leaving a voicemail with Rosen’s office on October 17th, court documents said.
We've seen a lot of twisted reactions calling for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas, including protests like those in New York City, where people chanted in support of Hamas.

We saw an unbelievably awful response from the UN — that organization that's supposed to be about bringing people together — that showed again it's about anything but with a couple of its resolutions last week. The juxtaposition of the results of those resolutions was jarring. First, they failed to pass a resolution condemning the Hamas attack on Israel. So that couldn't get the two-thirds vote required to pass.
Lost in the swirl of events over the past three weeks, as well as the rapid pace of events in cases in multiple courts involving former President Trump, is the fact that he moved to dismiss the Washington D.C. case filed against him by Special Counsel Jack Smith based on a claim of “Presidential immunity” from criminal prosecution for acts while in office.
On October 19, 2023, Smith filed an Opposition to that motion. Much like the motion itself, the Opposition escaped scrutiny as it came around the same time Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro pled guilty – to what I’m still not certain – in the Georgia case,
After a University of California, Davis event Save Women's Sports spokeswoman Riley Gaines was scheduled to speak at in November was pulled from Eventbrite's website on grounds it violated their woke community guidelines and terms of service, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) is speaking out - and taking action.
Before we get to that, let's first take a look at the message Eventbrite sent informing the Davis College Republicans as to why the November 3rd event was removed from their site:
"We have determined that your event is not permitted on the Eventbrite marketplace as it violates our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service, with which all users agree to comply.

A McDonald's customer has voiced her fury at the fast food chain for not having any items priced at $1 on its 'dollar' menu - as she raged over the 'out-of-hand' price increases that the burger giant has implemented over the past few years.
After making a recent trip through the chain's drive-thru, Anne Arroyo, from Ohio, took to TikTok to share her frustrations with McDonald's with her followers.
She showed that although the fast food restaurant advertised a 'dollar menu', every item was priced above $1.
The Washington Post has a story today about the network of tunnels dug beneath Gaza by Hamas fighters. The entire network is estimated to stretch over 300 miles despite the Gaza strip being on 25 miles long. It’s where Hamas fighters have been hiding out since the start of Israel’s military response to the 10/7 attack. But the IDF has no intention of entering the tunnels which are likely booby-trapped. Israeli military protocol generally prohibits regular ground troops from entering tunnels, as the chances of being killed or captured is too high. Israelis have seen their soldiers grabbed and dragged into tunnels, so the likely strategy will be to attempt

The leader of the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah threatened Friday to exact revenge on the U.S. for supporting Israel in its campaign to root out Hamas.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech: “Let me be clear, the United States is just as responsible…Americans have to pay, they have to pay for Israel’s slaughter.”
A few days after Hamas invaded Israel, perpetrating the most brutal massacre against Jews since the Holocaust, Hezbollah terrorists clashed with Israel Defense Forces along the Lebanon border, opening a second front in the conflict.
If Israel’s military attacks Lebanon, where Hezbollah is operating, it will “pay dearly,” Nasrallah vowed.
The 'adopted' black son of new House Speaker Mike Johnson has spoken out for the first time in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com.
Michael Tirrell James said he would ‘probably be in prison’ were it not for Johnson – after he appeared in a Los Angeles court Wednesday on charges of running an illegal cannabis business and possessing brass knuckles.
James has never taken part in publicity for Johnson's political campaigns, and little has been known about the 40-year-old father of four.
But now DailyMail.com can reveal how the top GOP lawmaker and his wife Kelly informally adopted James after meeting him while doing charitable community work in Louisiana in the 1990s.
NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara concluded their spacewalk today at 2:47 p.m. EST after 6 hours and 42 minutes. (snip) During the activity, one tool bag was inadvertently lost. Flight controllers spotted the tool bag using external station cameras. The tools were not needed for the remainder of the spacewalk. Mission Control analyzed the bag’s trajectory and determined that risk of recontacting the station is low and that the onboard crew and space station are safe with no action required.
The “supreme leader” of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, declared in an address on Wednesday that the common chant of “Death to America” in his country is “not just a slogan – it is a policy,” one his regime intended to bring to fruition.
Khamenei was reportedly delivering remarks on Iranian regime-controlled television regarding the ongoing conflict between the nation of Israel and the Hamas genocidal terrorist organization, which Iran funds to the tune of tens of millions of dollars a year. The Iranian regime has enthusiastically embraced Hamas following its harrowing October 7 terrorist attack against civilians in Israel, which featured door-to-door slaughters of entire families in their homes,
A Connecticut judge was forced to throw out the results of a Democrat mayoral primary after surveillance videos showed possible ballot stuffing that a local judge said rendered the court "unable to determine the legitimate result." This week, Superior Court Judge William Clark ordered a new Democratic primary due to the misconduct. He claimed that the number of tampered ballots found changed the results of the original election, according to NBC Connecticut.
“The volume of ballots so mishandled is such that it calls the result of the primary election into serious doubt and leaves the court unable to determine the legitimate result of the primary,” Clark wrote
Target CEO Brian Cornell suggested that the backlash the retail giant faced back in May over its LGBTQ Pride displays was the first time some team members claimed it was "not safe" at work. (snip) Consumers' Research executive director Will Hild objected to Cornell’s comments. (snip) "He is the one who made Target stores unsafe for children, for the children of his customers, for children of his employees," Hild continued. "And yet he wants to deflect and put the blame back on his own customer base. He's basically blaming you, the customer, for his mistakes."
Joe Biden is refusing to hand over loan documents to the House Oversight Committee proving any ‘loans’ he provided to his brother James Biden.
The House Oversight Committee has no IRS records or loan documents confirming the $200,000 check Jim Biden wrote to his brother Joe Biden in 2018 was a ‘loan repayment.’
House Oversight Chairman James Comer demanded IRS records and applicable loan documents proving Joe Biden loaned his brother James money.
The Bidens often structure their income as ‘loans’ to avoid paying taxes. We saw this with a $5 million wire described as an ‘interest-free loan’ (a way for Hunter to avoid paying taxes) from a Chinese firm.
Pope Francis is calling for a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians, saying that they are "two peoples who have to live together," a report says.
Francis made the remark Wednesday during an interview with Italian state television channel RAI, when he also said he hopes a regional escalation of the war can be avoided, according to Reuters.
"[Those are] two peoples who have to live together. With that wise solution, two states. The Oslo accords, two well-defined states and Jerusalem with a special status," Francis was quoted as saying.
One Sick War

There is something surreal, even sick about the current Gazan war.
Throughout European and American cities and campuses, tens of thousands of Middle East immigrants and students, and radical leftists chant nonstop "Free Palestine from the River to the Sea."
More recently, they are also yelling, "Israel, you can't hide, we caught you in genocide."
Consider the hypocrisy of that dual messaging.
Hamas and its supporters are openly and eagerly calling for the genocidal end of Israel by wiping it out from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Yet at the same time they also claim it is Israel that is committing genocide
The idiom for pregnancy, “a bun in the oven,” which traces its origins back more than 2,000 years to Ancient Greece, is in fact “misogynistic,” according to Kathleen Crowther, an historian of reproductive medicine at the University of Oklahoma. Crowther insists the idiom reduces the role of the mother to a mere incubator after the majority of the work has been done by the man. “I don’t think most people who use that metaphor are being misogynistic.” “But I think it actually does come from a deeply misogynistic tradition of thinking about women’s bodies as passive,” she argues.
