Lead: Israel’s Ceasefire On Shaky Ground
Photo credit: Reuters
Israeli media reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “intends to sabotage the hostage release deal, and the delegation heading to Qatar will not advance Stage 2 of the agreement.”
Why would he do that? Because when hostages are released, he’ll have to face the music. Moderates in Israel don’t like him because he has prioritized war over the hostages. Right-wingers are mad that Hamas has still not been defeated and Gaza still stands. A source told Haaretz: “Netanyahu knows he doesn’t have a government if he proceeds with the deal.”
A few days ago, ousted Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed that the Israeli military fired on its own people, something that was dubbed a conspiracy in the wake of the October 7 attacks. This is known as the “Hannibal Directive.” It allows the use of “maximum force” to prevent the capture of soldiers, even at risk of killing their own. And in fact many Israelis were killed by the Israeli Defense Forces. This was reported early by Dan Cohen of Uncaptured Media.
Jobs Report Revised

The jobs report released on Friday showed that the Biden administration was lying about 589,000 jobs! That means that they reported these jobs but…they never existed.
How does that happen exactly? CNN says that this is “an annual process that squares up estimates.” Meaning, if we believed the Biden administration’s jobs numbers, that was based on their best guesses.
The report says that “government employment continued to trend up in January.” To the tune of 70%! No wonder everyone is so nervous about the Trump administration’s effort to shrink government employment. Most of the “economic growth” we were told about last year was either a lie or due to government expansion!
What’s more, the report shows that 99.2% of of those jobs went to foreign-born workers, which has predictably led to high unemployment numbers for Blacks, Hispanics and teenagers. Pretty much every serious economist warned that increased immigration would hurt the employment rates for these populations. They weren’t lying.
The media is lying when it blames the report on the Trump administration. The report is a measure through the last few weeks of the Biden administration and only revises the numbers reported by the Biden administration.

Spending Fallout Not Just Dems Fault

Democrats are not the only ones who promoted wasteful spending on overseas pet projects. The Grayzone found that Republicans were funding “transgender dance” in Bangladesh.
Republicans campaigned against gender ideology but this report shows that the Republican Party-aligned International Republican Institute’s (IRI) sponsored “‘the largest published survey of LGBTI people in Bangladesh’ and that a full 24% of the 1,868 Bangladeshis who participated in IRI programs in 2019 and 2020 were transgender.” Activities of the group included paying for 160 photographs, 30 paintings, 21 theatrical shows, five short films, three “transgender dance performances,” three documentaries, two rap songs and accompanying music videos, and one book, all while recruiting activist to “destabilize Bangladesh’s politics.”
Republican Representative Thomas Massie warned that the revelations about government spending are going to hit both parties. He said: “DOGE is on a collision course with the Uniparty. It hasn’t happened yet, but I’m here for it, literally.”
Republicans will get a chance to prove whether they are aligned with a small government or if that is just words that they use against the Democrats. The debt ceiling will be reached again on March 14 and another Congressional bill will need to be passed to fund the government.
News By The Numbers

$740,000. That is the price of the gold watch that Tom Brady wore to call the Super Bowl on Sunday. It is a Jacob & Co. watch that comes covered in yellow sapphires. Brady ended his sponsorship deal with TAG Heuer in 2019.
$59. That was the price of one cocktail called the Voodoo Magic at the Super Bowl if you went to watch it in person.
5-foot-6. That is how tall Kendrick Lamar is. People were surprised about that from his Super Bowl Half Time performance.
What’s Trending?

Bradley Cooper is trending because he announced the Eagles as they took the field at the Super Bowl on Sunday along with 8 year-old Declan LeBaron — who went viral for this video last month. LeBaron is an Eagles fan and survivor of juvenile arthritis. Cooper rarely misses an Eagles play off game. He is probably their most loyal fan – besides Clayton.
Jon Hamm is trending because he announced the Kansas City Chiefs as they took the field at the Super Bowl on Sunday. He is a Missouri native.
Terry’s Chocolate Orange is trending because a new cream filled egg was launched in the U.K. and people seem pretty stoked about it.
The Pennies

President Trump said on Truth Social that he has ordered the Treasury to stop producing pennies.
“For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let’s rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it’s a penny at a time,” he said.
The cost of producing a penny increased by 13% in 2023, according to the Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Mint.
In 2010, 60 Minutes reported that it cost the U.S. $134 million to make 8 billion pennies per year and $124 million to make 1.3 billion nickels, “even though the coins are worth only about half that much.” With inflation, that cost has only worsened.
Does President Trump have the authority to ditch the penny though? The Wall Street Journal reports that he does but the Mint’s website says that this authority is with Congress.
This would not be the first time the U.S. took a coin out of circulation. In 1857, Congress discontinued the half-cent coin through The Coinage Act.
