Lead: About That “Diplomacy”

The U.S. is reportedly preparing to engage directly with Hamas to negotiate a peace deal with Israel. But if it is this kind of diplomacy, don’t hold your breathe.

President Trump wrote this on X and this on TruthSocial, threatening: “I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say… RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!”

He said that Hamas cannot keep any more dead bodies and continued, “Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!”

Israel also has dead bodies to exchange and had hostages long before October 7. Does he know that?

President Trump has repeatedly said that he cannot arrange a ceasefire in Ukraine without participation from both sides but has been called out for not engaging both sides of the conflict in Gaza. Well if this is his manner of engaging them, it is not to catch flies with honey.

Israel violated the terms of the ceasefire but the Trump administration sent a new round of shipments this week.

The Israeli government has cut aid to Gaza and reportedly has a “hell plan” that would “cut off electricity and water into Gaza to prepare for a full-scale resumption of the war.”

Ukraine is Europe’s War Now

The Trump administration has paused weapons and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, according to the Wall Street Journal. What intelligence did the U.S. have? Apparently the U.S. helped Ukraine track Russian troops in order to fire HIMARS on them.

Without the weapons and intelligence, how will Ukraine keep its war going? Europe is digging through couch cushions to find the money. The plan is called the ReArm Europe Plan. It calls for the EU to spend more than €800 billion in defense spending but…they’ll have to borrow it. The rules allow each member state to increase their defense spending “without triggering the Excessive Deficit Procedure.”

In other words, they don’t have it. The EU is letting them borrow it. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says that this is necessary because “We are living in the most momentous and dangerous of times.” Her goal is for the E.U. to have a military budget equivalent to the U.S. annual military budget, which is also based on debt. Why in the world would anyone want to emulate that failing model!?

Diplomacy With Iran?

Russia has offered to broker talks between the U.S. and Iran.

These two countries are not at war but they are at loggerheads. The U.S. continually accuses Iran of having a nuclear weapon. Iran has worked with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to prove that it doesn’t but the U.S. keeps escalating accusations. Earlier in the week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had a call on Monday with Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz and “both leaders agreed that Iran remains a threat to regional security and agreed to work together on this challenge.”

Iran offered diplomatic talks with the Biden administration but has not offered any with the Trump administration. Could Russia be the middle man to cool down this rhetoric?

“Russia believes that the United States and Iran should resolve all problems through negotiations,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Bloomberg. Moscow “is ready to do everything in its power to achieve this,” he added.

Who cares who does it, as long as it gets done!?

News By The Numbers

22. That is how many Democratic Senators posted a video with the same scripted message about President Trump’s economic promises. Senator Cory Booker admitted to being the author of the stunt. We get that Democrats want to improve their messaging but does it have to be so scripted?

$5 million. That is how much money UC Davis is planning to spend on a locker room renovation project that will remove the single-sex spaces and build a “Universal Locker Room” that is “inclusive of members of all gender identities.”

$51 million. That is how much The Philadelphia Eagles will pay to re-sign Zack Baun for three years. They also re-signed Saquon Barkley for $41.2 million for two years.

Who Was In Charge All That Time?

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has demanded an investigation into who was running the country while President Biden was in cognitive decline.

“It appears staffers and officers in the Biden administration may have exploited Biden’s incapacity so they could issue orders without an accountable President of sound mind approving them,” AG Bailey writes. “This would explain why the Biden administration’s orders were aggressivey much farther to the left than any previous President. If in fact Biden’s staffers were exploiting his mental decline, those orders are null and void.”

AG Bailey says that “it is black-letter law that a document is void, ab initio, when the person signing it lacks mental capacity.”

He is asking the Department of Justice to investigate “who has been running the country for the last four years.”

How do you think they would do that? Could they ask President Biden NOW why he did many things and to produce evidence of his understanding of those things? I doubt that would lead to very much. Could they ask for a document trail that led to executive actions? And would these Deep State actors be easy to identify?
