Lead: A New Ceasefire Deal?

Hamas has “responded positively” to a new ceasefire proposal with Israel but Israel says that they haven’t seen a new proposal yet so no deal.

The reported deal would mandate the release of five Israeli hostages in exchange for Israel releasing hundreds of Palestinian hostages and allowing aid to return to Gaza. It was reportedly proposed by Egyptian negotiators.

While Israel ignores this proposal, it has stepped up attacks in Gaza and, according to the Washington Post, gearing up for a major ground operation.

The Post reports that Israel will use “new and more aggressive tactics,” “direct military control of humanitarian aid,” and target “more of Hamas’s civilian leadership, and evacuating women, children and vetted noncombatants from neighborhoods to ‘humanitarian bubbles.’”

Israel also killed two journalists in Gaza along with two women in separate attacks. There is video and it is horrible. The two journalists were: Mohammad Mansour, a correspondent for Palestine Today TV and 23-year-old Hossam Shabat, a reporter for Al Jazeera who was killed by an Israeli strike on his car. According to Antiwar.com: “Shabat was also a contributor to the American news site Drop Site News. He was previously put on a killed list by the IDF, which accused him of being a ‘terrorist’ without providing evidence.”

Military Leak Doesn’t Add Up

The Atlantic reporter Jeffrey Goldberg claims that he was “accidentally” added to a group chat of senior Trump administration officials as they were planning to bomb the Houthis. He says that he was added by national security advisor Michael Waltz.

This story is fishy for many reasons. First, how does no one notice in several days of planning a bombing campaign that there is a journalist on the chain? Second, how does Walz have this journalist in his contacts? Could it be because he’d been leaking information to him already? Third, why does the Secretary of Defense put all of the logistics of the bombing raid in a chat with cabinet members? Do they usually know those details? Fourth, why are they using Signal? That would be a violation of federal records law.

Goldberg claims that he knew about the bombing in advance and then it actually happened.

A spokesman for the National Security Council told The Atlantic that the Signal group was real.

“This appears to be an authentic message chain, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain,” Brian Hughes, the spokesperson said.

The thread shows that Vice President Vance is hesitant about escalation in the Middle East and the Secretary of Defense is gung ho. Is this some kind of set up to show us who are the escalators and who are not? Is it a ploy to oust Walz or Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth? And did civilians have to die to show that?

Secretary Hegseth explained this by saying that Goldberg peddles in lies and garbage. When President Trump was asked about it on Monday, he said this: “I don’t know anything about it. I’m not a big fan of The Atlantic. To be it’s a magazine that’s going out of business. But I know nothing about it. You’re saying that they had what?”

He later joked about it on Truth Social.

Climate Change “Research”

ProPublica reports that the “National Institutes of Health will no longer be funding work on the health effects of climate change.”

They are pretty sad about it but I’m not. They call it “catastrophic” and “devastating” but where has research like this got us? It only led to more misinformation like this from ProPublica:

“As extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, heat waves, wildfires and floods, continue to intensify and become more frequent, researchers are increasingly examining the impact climate change has on public health.”

Extreme weather events have gone down and the most extreme weather events that took the highest level of human toll were not recent. The strongest landfall wind hurricane to hit the U.S. was on Labor Day of 1935. The largest rainfall hurricane was Hurricane Easy in 1945. The worst storm to ever hit California was in December of 1961. The earth has experienced at least two periods of Global Warming above 2 degrees Celsius and recovered from both without research labs and green research and human mitigation.

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services said this about defunding the health effects of climate change: “At HHS, we are dedicated to restoring our agencies to their tradition of upholding gold-standard, evidence-based science. As we begin to Make America Healthy Again, it’s important to prioritize research that directly affects the health of Americans. We will leave no stone unturned in identifying the root causes of the chronic disease epidemic as part of our mission to Make America Healthy Again.”

News By The Numbers

25%. That is how much President Trump announced in additional tariffs on any country that buys oil and gas from Venezuela because, he says, “Venezuela has purposefully and deceitfully sent to the United States, undercover, tens of thousands of high level, and other, criminals, many of whom are murderers and people of a very violent nature. Among the gangs they sent to the United States, is Tren de Aragua, which has been given the designation of ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization.’ We are in the process of returning them to Venezuela — It is a big task! In addition, Venezuela has been very hostile to the United States and the Freedoms which we espouse.”

31. That is how many “historic” deregulation actions were announced by the head of the EPA Lee Zeldin on Wednesday. He says that this was meant to “power the great American comeback” and roll back “deeply flawed” environmental standards from the Biden administration.

59%. That is how much shares of 23andMe tumbled on Monday after the company announced bankruptcy.

Massachusetts Releasing Criminal Migrants

CBS News looked into the claim by Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s Border Czar, that Massachusetts is “releasing immigrants charged with violent crimes” and guess what? They are.

“After reviewing every press release from January to the present, WBZ found only one which said Boston Police released someone wanted by ICE. All of the other releases stated that individuals wanted by ICE were released from jails or courts,” the report says.

This means that police had these guys, charged them, and then let them out even though they were wanted by ICE for being illegal migrants. And it’s a merry band of ne’er-do-wells it is!

They found one guy who charged with three counts of rape of a child by force and three counts of aggravated rape of a child. He was released on bail with an order for house arrest. Another guy charged with child rape also released on bail with a GPS monitoring device. Another dude charged with “indecent assault and battery in a person over 15, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, masked armed robbery, and assault to rape.” He too was released on bail with a GPS device. Two others were charged with child rape and released on just $500 bail before being picked up by ICE. Two others were charged with cocaine and fentanyl trafficking and both were also released on bail before ICE arrested them.

In Massachusetts, the state cannot hold a person based on their immigration status so these guys were offered a normal bail situation and they took it and walked free. A newly proposed law would allow the state to hold them for at least 36 hours if ICE has a detainer on them.
