| | Breaking Updates | | Confused Biden Claims Hamas Attacked Because He Was Building a Railroad, Claims Credit for Hostage Deal | Joe Biden gave a presser on Friday in which he attempted to take credit for the hostage deal between Israel and Hamas. As per usual with the American president, he really, really shouldn't have.
In a drop-dropping state of confusion, Biden claimed that Hamas originally attacked Israel on October 7th because he was building a railroad...
Of all the reasons that Hamas massacred 1,400 people in Israel and took over 200 hostages, Biden building a railroad from Riyadh through the Middle East and "all the way up to Europe" is not one of them. When you watch the clip, the president also tries to take credit for the Abraham Accords, saying that Hamas feared he was about to make peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Biden's weakness continues to cost Americans and its allies. This is the time for a president to present strength, both physically and rhetorically. Instead, we have a guy who meanders up to the podium, sounding as if he just woke up from a three-day nap at the nursing home, ranting about nonsensical things…
Is it any wonder Hamas appears to have the upper hand in negotiations? | Read more updates here |

| | Here's What We Know About the Hostages Released by Hamas on Friday | After an initial delay in the planned release of hostages taken by Hamas after its deadly October 7 attack on Israel, the terrorist organization did finally release 24 of them on Friday — 13 Israelis, 10 Thai citizens, and one Filipino citizen.
Surveillance video shared by Israel's official Twitter/X account showed the exact moment the 13 Israelis returned to Israeli territory…
Among those released tonight is Hanna Katzir, whom the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group falsely said had died in captivity.
As of this writing, Hamas has not provided a list of additional hostages to be released, though the truce agreement provided that Israel would receive a list of those to be freed the night before their release….
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke following the return of the hostages, celebrating their release but vowing not to stop until all hostages are returned home.
"We just completed the return of the first of our hostages: children, their mothers and additional women. Each of them is an entire world. But I emphasize to you, the families, and to you, citizens of Israel: we are committed to returning all the hostages. This is one of the aims of the war and we are committed to achieving all the aims of the war." | Read more updates here |
