The terrorists of Hamas, who agreed to participate in President Donald Trump's stepped peace agreement to resolve a war they launched against Israel two years ago when they invaded and killed 1,200 and kidnapped hundreds more, have thrown a wrench into the works.

They had agreed that they would release all living hostages and return the bodies of those killed in captivity to Israel.

They returned 20 living hostages, but now claim they are unable to return all the bodies of the 28 dead hostages that have been listed.

A report in the Washington Examiner said the terrorists handed over 10 bodies, but one of those was not a hostage at all.

Now Hamas is claiming to have returned "all the remains it had without additional equipment."

The report suggested the terror organization perhaps knows of the location of other victims, but it cannot "access" those locations.

"The al Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, said it 'committed to what was agreed upon and handed over everyone it had in terms of living captives and what it had in terms of bodies that it could recover,'" the report said.

But the extraction of the remaining bodies will require "special equipment," the terrorists said.

The report described how the hostages taken Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas launched its war against Israel, were handled in a "decentralized" plan, meaning they were spread out across the Gaza Strip. That means some of them could have died during military force conflicts between Israel and Hamas.

One U.S. adviser explained, "On top of all that debris is a lot of unexploded ordnance, and presumably, under that unexploded ordnance and that debris, there are many bodies. Now, there's a lot of different intelligence on where someone might have been killed, where they might have been injured, and we've got a lot of information with regard to that. And we've got a huge, huge effort in understanding all of those things."

The development, the report said, could result in sanctions against the terrorists, including "limiting promised aid" or even "continuing the war."

It will depend on whether the Hamas explanations come across as "genuine," the report said.

The Washington Examiner cited a statement from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, who said, "If Hamas refuses to abide by the agreement, Israel, in coordination with the U.S., will return to fighting and work to completely defeat Hamas, change the reality in Gaza and achieve all the goals of the war."

A nurse arrested for driving under the influence has been dismissed from her job after a video of her being taken into custody confirmed she promised the officers she would let them "die."

"I'm a f—— nurse. When you come through my hospital, don't worry, I'll let you die. All your family members, and this is all on recording," the video reveals her to be saying.

According to a report at Law & Crime, the nurse was identified as Crystal Tadlock, who used to work at Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital in Houston.

She was stopped and arrested by police from the Magnolia, Texas, department.

Tadlock allegedly added, "Greater Heights, b—. Don't go there."

The arrest documentation, Law & Crime said, charged that she was pulled over for speeding.

"[Tadlock] stated she was unaware she was traveling 66 mph and mentioned she was returning home from a concert at the Cynthia Woods Pavilion," the report alleges. "She indicated she had dropped off friends who had been drinking and was on her way home."

The officer reported a smell of alcohol coming from the vehicle when he pulled her over, and she allegedly failed field sobriety tests.

"During transport, Crystal became increasingly belligerent, making derogatory remarks and threats. She initially stated that the reason I was doing this was because ICE had not picked me up yet. Crystal also made racist comments about my ethnicity and stated that she is going to be getting out of this because she is white. She also stated that she had an issue with me because I was not white," the arresting officer reported.

The hospital, when officials were given details, released a statement that the employee was suspended pending investigation, and subsequently terminated.

"Once she arrived at jail, staff stated that she had also made the same comment to them that she uttered earlier, saying 'that if any of them went to the hospital where she works, she would ensure they die as well,' according to the arrest report," Law & Order said.

Police officials claimed there is "no excuse" for such actions.

A stunning charge has come from Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, that Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is giving "criminal illegal aliens badges and guns."

Actually, her comment was, "J.B. Pritzker doesn't just allow violent illegal aliens to terrorize Illinois's communities — he allows illegal aliens to work as sworn police officers. Radule Bojovic violated our nation's laws and was living illegally in the United States for 10 years. What kind of police department gives criminal illegal aliens badges and guns?"

The comment came after Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested an illegal alien who was operating as an active Illinois police officer.

A report from Fox News said Bojovic "overstayed" his tourist visa by a decade and recently has been working as a police officer. He was "approved" for a pension in January.

The Department of Homeland Security said Bojovic was an illegal immigrant from Montenegro who was working as a sworn police officer with the Hanover Park Police Department.

He was taken into custody during Operation Midway Blitz, targeting illegal immigrants living in Illinois.

McLaughlin added, "It's a felony for aliens to even possess a firearm — a law enforcement officer who is actively breaking the law. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is restoring law and order. Criminal illegal aliens have no place in our communities, especially on our police forces."

The report said his 2025 earnings so far were $205,707.

Pritzker has been actively fighting Trump's border security measures, and recently sued to block National Guard action in Illinois.

President Donald Trump has worked hard during his second term to bring about a ceasefire between the terrorists of Hamas in Gaza and Israel.

The war was launched on Oct. 7, 2023, by Hamas when members invaded Israel and slaughtered some 1,200 people, kidnapping hundreds more. And the ceasefire, endorsed by both Israel and Hamas, took effect just days ago.

But immediately, and even as hostages were being returned to Israel, the terrorists lashed out at their political foes inside Gaza, "publicly executing Palestinian civilians" and claiming that they were "criminals and collaborators with Israel."

A report at Fox News said while Trump wants a ceasefire, he's ardently opposed to the terrorism that has been going on.

And his warning, "If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them."

Trump added, "Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

The president's reaction followed online videos showing the executions in Gaza City's main square.

The report noted residents of Gaza also confirmed Hamas terrorists were reappearing in the streets and reasserting control, having issued an ultimatum giving Israeli collaborators until Sunday to surrender and seek amnesty.

WND had reported on the videos of the gruesome agenda.

The horrific clip shows eight beaten and blindfolded men on their knees before they're all shot on the street as a crowd cheers.

Adm. Brad Cooper, at U.S. CENTCOM, also had warned, "We strongly urge Hamas to immediately suspend violence and shooting at innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza – in both Hamas-held parts of Gaza and those secured by the IDF behind the Yellow Line."

Elon Musk, the former chief of DOGE, the federal Department of Government Efficiency, is hammering the judge who sentenced two teenagers who jumped Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, a former DOGE staffer, in Washington, D.C., last summer.

Musk posted on X: "This was a racist verdict by a racist judge. The simple test to apply is if the races has been reversed, the White kids would be in prison. Equal justice for all!"

Judge Kendra Briggs Tuesday sentenced the boy and girl, both 15, from Hyattsville, Maryland, to probation after they agreed to plead guilty to simple assault.

On Aug. 3, after an attempted carjacking, Coristine tried to intervene and was badly beaten. He said he and a female companion were jumped by "a group of 10 guys."

According to the New York Post, the boy was handed a 12-month probation and allowed to return home under strict house arrest, while the girl was given a nine-month probation and remanded to a local youth shelter.

Their accomplices in the attempted carjacking and assault at approximately 3 a.m. in a D.C. parking garage remain at large, as Coristine pointed out on X:

Here's Coristine describing the assault on Fox News:

For his years in the Oval Office, one of Joe Biden's focal points was to promote transgenderism. He wanted tax funding for body-mutilating surgeries on children, his bureaucracy demanded that nude boys and men be allowed to mingle in the showers and locker rooms of private areas for women. He even promoted the extremist administration of chemicals to children.

He made it fashionable. But he's now out of office.

And a new report says the transgender identification among young people is in a "free-fall."

The professor of politics who assembled the details explained, "The fall of trans and queer seems most similar to the fading of a fashion or trend. It happened largely independently of shifts in political beliefs and social media use, though improved mental health played a role."

The results are from Vancouver, B.C. professor Eric Kaufman.

 

 

 

 

A report at Not the Bee noted, "The world is waking up."

And it added, "This is great news for young people, great news for parents – and terrible news for the doctors who had begun to profit from this madness."

The report quoted UnHerd, "Data from my new Centre for Heterodox Social Science report, 'The Decline of Trans and Queer Identity among Young Americans', shows that since 2023 both trans and queer identification have dropped sharply within Generation Z. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), which conducts a large annual survey of US undergraduates, polled over 60,000 students in 2025. My analysis of the raw data shows that in that year, just 3.6% of respondents identified as a gender other than male or female. By comparison, the figure was 5.2% in 2024 and 6.8% in both 2022 and 2023. In other words, the share of trans-identified students has effectively halved in just two years."

The report noted, "According to one survey, in 2023 9.2% of students at Andover Phillips Academy in Boston identified as neither male nor female. That number now sits at 3%. Brown University saw similar numbers, going from 5% to just 2.6% over a similar time period."

The report commented, "Who would've thought that a decline in mental illness would coincide with a decline in trans identification?"

A Florida judge has been asked to dismiss a complaint by the manager of a condo association that seeks to prevent a church from holding services in the property it owns.

"Because the gravamen of plaintiff's complaint is the enforcement of a discriminatory restriction on defendant's land use for religious worship services in violation of Florida law that declared all such restrictions and covenants to be unlawful, plaintiff cannot state a cause of action. The complaint should be dismissed," explained the motion to dismiss from Liberty Counsel.

The fight involves Coastal Family Church in Flager Beach and Flagler Square-JAX, a condo association that sued to close down the church.

The church purchased part of a strip mall that is organized as a condo association, and a manager for that organization claims he can stop a church from holding services.

Liberty Counsel said it filed a motion in Seventh Judicial Circuit Court on behalf of one of the pastors of the church to dismiss a meritless lawsuit.

In July 2025, Pastor Roderick Palmer purchased a unit in the Flagler Square strip mall to use as a church home. But when services launched, the condominium association that supervises the structure with four units sued Palmer for holding "public assemblies."

The claim was that those services violate the "condominium declaration."

The complaint cited an issue with parking, which Liberty Counsel said would leave some 160 spaces available during services.

The association wants an outright court ban on "assemblies."

Liberty Counsel said that wasn't allowed under state law.

"The Florida legislature has rendered null and void all such discriminatory land use restrictions and covenants … Further, plaintiff's requested prohibition on religious services substantially burdens defendant's religious exercise in violation of the Florida Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act."

The legal team said the city commission approved the church meetings at the strip mall location, and other residents raised "no objections."

Other occupants include "Junque in the Trunk," a Dollar Tree and a police lodge, which, in fact, advertises that it holds public gatherings periodically, and is available for "rent for meetings, parties, and commercial classes."

The team said, "The entire premise of plaintiff's complaint centers on and arises from a discriminatory restriction that has become wholly inoperative, unenforceable, null, and void."

Liberty Counsel said, "Whether the association's proposed restriction is phrased as a ban on public assemblies or an outright prohibition on religious services, it violates Florida's nullification on discriminatory covenants, as well as the church's constitutional rights to religious exercise and so the case must be dismissed."

"Florida law is clear that Pastor Roderick Palmer and Coastal Family Church have the right to hold church services on church property and that restrictive covenants cannot ban religious assembly. Flagler Square – JAX, Inc. cannot target Pastor Palmer or his church while ignoring other tenants' non-religious gatherings. This meritless lawsuit must be dismissed," explained Liberty Counsel founder Mat Staver.

President Donald Trump has turned the focus to the trigger behind extremism in America.

And it's the devil.

America has been beset by leftist violence, such as the hundreds of billions of dollars in damages in the Black Lives Matter riots a few years ago, radical terrorism, such as shooting children while they are praying in a Catholic school, and extremists, including those who insist on trying to surgically change boys into girls.

Trump, during a ceremony that honored the late Charlie Kirk, identified the issue;

"We watched legions of far-left radicals resort to desperate acts of violence and terror because they know that their ideas and arguments are persuading no one," he said. "They know that they're failing. They have the devil's ideology."

The video clip was reposted dozens and dozens of times from those who noticed the message.

Some endorsed his criticisms.

And others were revealed to have been delivering the same message for some time already.

The anti-Christian Communist regime in China long has been known for hating Christians and trying to obliterate either their beliefs, or them.

It previously has bulldozed Christian churches, forced faith organizations to promote the leftist ideologies of communism, censored and restricted Bibles, and much more. Arrests of Christians, especially leaders, are common.

Now its latest crackdown has cost Pastor Ezra Jin his freedom.

He's founder of Zion Church and was jailed recently, along with "dozens of church leaders and members," according to a report from the American Center for Law and Justice.

Zion Church is described as a large "underground house church," meaning it is not "authorized" by the government and therefore does not preach only messages that the communist regime approves.

He has congregations across China with thousands of members.

This is Pastor Ezra Jin.

Now detained by the Chinese Communist Party for crimes against the state.

The crime is organizing Christian religious movements in various cities.

Jin, a pastor and father of children with U.S. citizenship, was arrested at his home in Beihai, Guangxi, just days ago, the report said. His daughter, Grace Jin Drexel, said the events have been "very scary" for the family.

The report explained more than 30 other pastors and church staff members also "simply vanished."

A church statement said, "They broke into homes, handcuffed even the elderly, and took them away. One pastor's mother had a heart attack during the arrest. Another woman was dragged from her newborn baby."

Subsequent charges claimed "illegal dissemination of religious information via the internet."

The report said police used violence to take people into custody.

"These attacks are a stark reminder of the severe persecution Christians face in China simply for worshiping according to their faith. Though China's constitution promises religious freedom, the Chinese Communist Party, an officially atheist regime, restricts worship to government-controlled, state-approved organizations," the ACLJ explained.

The hate campaign caught the attention of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who insisted that China allow all believers, including those in house churches, to worship without fear of attacks.

According to UPI, Rubio said, "We call on the CCP to immediately release the detained church leaders and to allow all people of faith, including members of house churches, to engage in religious activities without fear of retribution."

Church official Sean Long said, "We strongly appeal to the global church society to hold the Chinese government accountable. They cannot do whatever they want without letting people know. Let our ministers and staff members be released as soon as possible. Stop arresting our members."

Long, in an interview said, "We are not criminals but Christians. We are not anti-CCP, we are not anti-China. We love our people, love our society, love our culture. We are not a western political force. That is 100% wrong. We are a Chinese house church adhering to historic Christian faith. We are believers of Jesus. We have nothing to do with the U.S.-China tension or competition."

The organization has an estimated 10,000 participants in 40 cities.

The communists attacked the same church several years ago, when it declined to install security cameras that government officials could use in its structures.

As President Donald Trump was signing the Mideast peace deal this week securing the release of all living hostages held by Hamas, the Islamic terror group was posting graphic videos of its members publicly executing Palestinian civilians it called "criminals and collaborators with Israel."

The gruesome action came just hours after Trump voiced the "end of an age of terror and death," inking a document with his 20-point peace plan.

"This is an historic opportunity for peace. Hamas should seize it by fully standing down, strictly adhering to President Trump's 20-point peace plan, and disarming without delay. We have conveyed our concerns to the mediators who agreed to work with us to enforce the peace and protect innocent Gaza civilians. We remain highly optimistic for the future of peace in the region."

American conservative commentator Avery Daye indicated: "I thought we were all about the wellness and the safety of Palestinians, 'cause look at Hamas' terror hasn't stopped."

"The problem is the majority of Palestinians actually do support Hamas and support this kind of terror because they love death as much as the Jews love life. They tell us that over and over and over again."

Hey, pro-Pali people, Hamas is literally executing Palestinians on the street and livestreaming it.
