Lead: Palestinian Hostages Will Be Released
Photo credit: APF
Hamas says that they have reached a deal with Israel. The deal would secure the release of over 600 Palestinians whose freedom was delayed last weekend.
Israel delayed its hostage release because they did not like the way Hamas released Israeli hostages but I guess they got over that.
“They will be released simultaneously with the bodies of the Israeli prisoners agreed to be handed over during the first phase, in addition to the corresponding Palestinian women and children,” Hamas said.
The ceasefire is still in place in Gaza while these negotiations take place. Israel says that if the next phase of the ceasefire is not agreed upon soon, they will restart the war.
It appears President Trump will get his way with Ukrainian rare earth minerals. Ukrainian President Zelensky is expected to sign a deal with the U.S. as early as Friday, possibly in person with President Trump.
The deal will give the U.S. rights to Ukraine’s minerals. The thing is, Ukraine lost most of the places that have the minerals to Russia in the war. Most of Ukraine’s minerals are now Russia’s minerals so Ukraine has little to give but what they’ve got left will be mined and refined by the U.S. if President Trump has his way. This is what the President wants in exchange for the billions in aid that the U.S. has sent to Ukraine.
President Trump also wants to make a deal with Russian President Putin for access to their minerals too and Russia is reportedly game. According to President Putin, Russia is keen to begin “joint projects” with the U.S., which could involve a collaboration on aluminium extraction and supply to the US to stabilise prices.
For all of this to happen, the war in this region needs to end and the White House seems confident that a peace deal is imminent. Meanwhile, European leaders keep trying to act as if it isn’t. The Wall Street Journal says that European leaders are seeking to “Perfect the Art of Trump Whispering.” Lol. Good luck with that.

 More Pervert Chats

Tulsi Gabbard wants answers by Friday, or else.
The new Director of National Intelligence has demanded that the federal employees who used the NSA’s chat rooms to participate in “obscene, pornographic, and sexually explicit” discussions be identified by Friday so that they can be terminated and stripped of their security clearance.
Investigative journalists Christopher F. Rufo and Hannah Grossmandiscovered that NSA, CIA and DIA chatrooms were used for sexually explicit conversations regarding [brace yourself] genital castration, artificial vaginas, piss fetishes, sex polycules, and gangbangs—all on government time.” The chats date from 2022.
The chats were not just about sex. They also had a recurring theme of hatred against Christians, conservatives, Italians, and heterosexuals. Italians? In this log, they celebrate the death of Christian leader Pat Robertson. In another, they discuss birthing “hermaphrodite babies in order to advance trans ideology.”
THESE are the people who were running the surveillance state during the Biden Administration! But then again, how would they know any better? This behavior was encouraged during the Biden Administration but under Director Gabbard, it is most certainly not.

Golden Visas

President Trump announced that the U.S. will have a new green card program for high net worth people called a “gold card.” Many countries already have this. In countries such as Portugal, Spain and Turkey they are called Golden Visas. In Australia it is the Significant Investor Visa (SIV).
These countries offer residency with some extra tax perks to people who invest heavily in the country through real estate investments or business investments. The program that President Trump suggested would be called a “gold card” and it would require an investment of $5 million in the U.S.
“It’s somewhat like a green card, but at a higher level of sophistication. It’s a road to citizenship for people, and essentially people of wealth or people of great talent,” Trump said in the Oval Office.
“We’re going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million and that’s going to give you green card privileges-plus,” the president added as he rolled out the plan to a group of journalists. “They’ll be wealthy and they’ll be successful, and they’ll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people.”
This may sound elitist but it is not uncommon and you can’t blame a country for trying to encourage growth and income through investment. President Trump said that this program could help to pay down the national debt.
