ISRAEL/HAMAS WAR:
ISRAELI VIDEO PURPORTS TO SHOW HAMAS COVERT USE OF HOSPITAL
USA TODAY:
The Israeli military is trying to prove its long-held contention that Hamas uses them as command centers and to hide its fighters and hostages.
On Monday the Israel Defense Forces posted a video from what it called a children's hospital it took over on the weekend, showing weapons supposedly found inside.
Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the army’s chief spokesman, shows viewers what he describes as a Hamas tunnel at least 60 feet deep connected to the nearby Rantisi Children’s Hospital.
“Hamas uses hospitals as an instrument of war,” Hagari says while standing in a room of the hospital decorated with a colorful children’s drawing of a tree, juxtaposed with explosive vests and grenades.
An area in the basement but closed from the rest of the hospital includes a makeshift bathroom and small kitchen he says "will provide the terrorists their needs.'' The images later capture a baby bottle and diapers.
TWR: The pathologically suicidal Terror Attacks Hamas perpetrated against the Israeli People on October 7th , have destroyed the Palestinian People…
· Hamas is currently experiencing its kinetic extinction.
· With this required, internationally-sanctioned defense, Israel now can plausibly prove Palestinian War Crimes.
· With this possible proof…Palestinian Sympathizers around the World will either abandon their support, dishonestly ignore the irrefutable evidence, or officially join the ranks as Hamas Terrorists.
IDF ENCIRCLES AL-QUDS HOSPITAL IN GAZA
USA TODAY:
Gaza & United Nations Public health officials say hospitals in Gaza City are in peril amid a fuel shortage that's rendered them inoperable as escalating combat between Israeli ground forces and militants approaches the facilities.
President Joe Biden told reporters Monday the hospitals "must be protected,'' and he expressed a desire for "less intrusive action'' impacting them from the Israeli military in its battle against Hamas.
At Al Shifa Hospital, the largest medical facility in Gaza, Israeli ground forces are closing in as more than 3,500 staffers, patients and sheltering civilians remain inside.
"The tanks are in front of the hospital. We are under full blockade,'' Dr. Ahmed El Mokhallalati, a surgeon at the hospital, told Reuters by telephone.
Al-Quds Hospital, the second-largest hospital in Gaza City, lost power Sunday and has been encircled by Israeli tanks and ground forces, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, an independent aid group.
Israeli military officials say both hospitals, and others, are housing Hamas operation posts and militants, either inside the facilities or in tunnels beneath them. Hamas officials denied the claims and said the Israeli military is using them to justify airstrikes and advancing ground forces.
TWR: So far, the Israelis have handled this operation perfectly.
They have already found possible evidence of Hamas War Crimes in Gaza…It is essential that the World stop agitating for Israel to abandon its Anti-Terror Mission, giving time to Hamas for them to clear out tunnels, headquarters, classified papers from their underground installations at Al Shifa and Al Quds Hospitals.
UN SAYS HUMANITARIAN WORK WILL STALL IN 48 HOURS WITHOUT FUEL
USA TODAY:
Thomas White, the director of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, said Monday "the humanitarian operation in Gaza will grind to a halt in the next 48 hours as no fuel is allowed to enter Gaza."
Earlier in the day, two of the agency's water distribution contractors stopped working because they ran out of fuel, effectively denying potable water to 200,000 people, White said. A bulk reservoir of fuel the U.N. had accessed through coordination with the Israeli government is "now empty," White said.
While dozens of trucks carrying humanitarian aid have entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing over the last few weeks, Israel has not allowed fuel to come into the territory, saying Hamas would likely appropriate it for its own use.
TWR: As has been reported, Israel has been very particular about the Humanitarian Aid being allowed into Gaza…
While it may sound harsh, this is a required step in the destruction of Hamas.
Remember, Humanitarian Efforts are not the only sources for fuel in Gaza.

CONFLICTING CLAIMS REGARDING FUEL FOR AL SHIFA HOSPITAL
USA TODAY:
On Sunday, Israeli military officials said troops hand-delivered 300 liters of fuel to Al Shifa Hospital “for urgent medical purposes” and that “Hamas forbade the hospital from taking it.”
Gaza Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra told Al Jazeera the Israeli military had delivered 200, not 300, liters of fuel. “These 200 liters give less than an hour to run the generator,” he said. “This is a mockery towards the patients and children.”
The Israeli military also said it had provided an escape route for civilians to leave the hospital, which they say is the location of a significant Hamas operation post.
Dr. Marwan Abusada, head of surgery at the hospital, told Al Jazeera, “No one can get out. No one can come in … People who tried to evacuate the hospital, they were shot at in the streets."
TWR: So, Israeli Defense Forces deliver fuel to the Al Shifa Hospital…
According to IDF Sources, Hamas refused the fuel after complaining that the quantity was too low.
Really?
This is yet another example of Palestinians not taking “Yes” for an answer.
ISRAEL ANNOUNCES REOPENING OF EVACUATION ROUTES IN RAFAH
USA TODAY:
The Israeli military announced Monday the reopening of evacuation corridors for civilians to flee northern Gaza along with a “tactical pause of military operation” in Rafah, a city in Southern Gaza, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. local time.
The evacuation routes will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to the Israeli military. The U.N. estimates over 100,000 civilians have fled northern Gaza using the evacuation routes.
Last week, Israel announced its commitment to daily four-hour pauses in areas throughout Gaza to broaden the flow of humanitarian aid.
TWR: Again…Israel is complying with the World’s Monday Morning Quarterbacks in providing all things necessary to non-Hamas Palestinians.
These aforementioned MQBs must stand down from any further calls for Israel to Cease Fire…
Then, they should call on the People of Gaza directly to turn in any Members of Hamas they know. Now.
MICHIGAN MAN LEADS GUILTY TO MASS SHOOTING PLOT
A 19-year-old Michigan man arrested for sending Instagram messages about planning a mass shooting targeting Jewish people pleaded guilty to a federal charge, officials announced Monday.
The FBI arrested Seann Pietila in June after discovering Instagram messages he sent detailing plans of violence with specific references to the Jewish community, including antisemitic slurs, references to other mass shooters, and plans to record acts of violence to post online. Authorities said he was focusing his planning on an East Lansing synagogue, Congregation Shaarey Zedek.
“Thank God that we were in a situation where we prevented a possible atrocity rather than being in a situation to respond to one,” U.S. Attorney Mark Totten said at a news briefing Monday.
TWR: I haven’t gotten to say this for a very long time…
Congratulations to the FBI for their stellar work to interdict this alleged plot to kill Jews.
Well Done!!
MAJOR LAW FIRM TO SUE MAJOR UNIVERSITIES FOR CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AGAINST JEWISH STUDENTS
FOX NEWS:
A major New York law firm told Fox News Digital it expects to sue a number of universities for the alleged violation of Jewish students' civil rights, while demanding immediate remedial changes and financial penalties.
"Students are coming to us. Because they are afraid for their physical safety," Mark P. Ressler, a partner at Kasowitz Benson Torres who is readying up to launch lawsuits against universities, said.
Ressler told Fox News his investigations preceeded the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks and will allege that some universities have a "double standard" when it comes to taking action against Jewish civil rights abuses, while tackling civil rights concerns from other minority groups.
"We will be alleging in these lawsuits and will be proving in court that the schools were acutely aware of the dire situation for Jewish students on the campuses. They knew about the anti-Jewish harassment, and they looked the other way and engaged in what the law describes as deliberate indifference.”
“They knew they had to act. Students were begging them to act, and the schools did absolutely nothing," he said.
Universities the firm is targeting include Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, New York University, MIT, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania and UC-Berkeley.
TWR: This is long overdue…
The Israeli/Hamas War has uncovered the grotesque Truth about anti-Jewish Bigotry within the Administration, Faculty and Campuses of this Nation’s greatest universities.
That it took this Law firm to bring accountability to these Universities for their Neo-NAZI predilections is stunning.
This is not a free speech issue…
These venal, juvenile snots are advocating Terrorism.
The Faculty spewing anti-Jewish Bigotry are advocating Terrorism.
The Administrations are standing mute before this anti-Jewish Bigotry played out in their classrooms and campuses.
They should pay dearly for this Bigotry. I hope they do.
BIDEN:
“HERE’S HOW BIDEN CAN TURN IT AROUND”
POLITICO:
Just under one year before the presidential election, Democrats should be concerned but not panicked about President Biden’s standing. As last week’s results demonstrated, abortion remains the most potent issue with which to defeat Republicans.
For Biden to win reelection, however, he must make changes.
Biden is indeed in peril. The New York Times battleground survey was no outlier, as made clear by a new poll from Bloomberg-Morning Consult that reflected the same cold fact: the president begins his re-election as the underdog.
That’s in part for reasons Biden refuses to accept: his capacity to do the job. The oldest president in history when he first took the oath, Biden will not be able to govern and campaign in the manner of previous incumbents. He simply does not have the capacity to do it, and his staff doesn’t trust him to even try, as they make clear by blocking him from the press.
TWR: Jonathan Martin, the author of this brilliant Column in Politico is not trying to damage President Biden.
In fact, the only incongruous parts of this piece are attempts to do the opposite…
However…With every public move he makes, President Biden reinforces his infirmity.
So far, no votes have been cast…However, when the first South Carolina Democrat Primary Votes are cast…
So will the dice be cast…
FACING SERIOUS CALLS TO LEAVE 2024 RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN
NEWSWEEK:
David Axelrod, former adviser to Barack Obama was interviewed by CNN about a Politico report alleging Biden called Axelrod a "p****" for making negative comments about his re-election strategy.
Axelrod said that current polling is sparking "legitimate concern" among Democrats and that there is little time left for a primary campaign for a candidate to replac the President, and that there is a lot of leadership talent in the Democratic Party, poised to emerge.
He wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "It's very late to change horses; a lot will happen in the next year that no one can predict & Biden's team says his resolve to run is firm.
He said: "Only Joe Biden can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party. What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it's in HIS best interest or the country's?"
TWR: While I have disputed Mr. Axelrod’s political stylings for many years…He is truly on point here.
Yes, he is soft-pedaling his points. Is that based on respect for the President, or is it actually fear?
At the end of all this, President Biden has nothing left to prove. He should step aside.
TRUMP:
SPECIAL COUNSEL’S OFFICE ARGUES AGAINST LIVE TV DURING JAN 6 TRIAL
CNN:
The special counsel’s office is pushing back against Donald Trump using his Washington, DC, federal criminal trial as a spectacle, after Trump’s lawyers told the court this weekend he’d support cameras in the courtroom.
Trump’s bid to open his DC federal criminal trial to cameras is “a transparent effort to demand special treatment, try his case in the courtroom of public opinion, and turn his trial into a media event,” prosecutors wrote in a new court filing on Monday.
They also told the court that broadcasting the trial could create a spectacle that may invite witness intimidation.
Several national media outlets, including CNN, have asked the federal judge overseeing Trump’s 2020 election subversion criminal case to consider allowing the proceedings to be aired.
Federal courts unilaterally bar television cameras, but the press has argued for more transparency into the criminal proceedings—especially given the historic nature of Trump’s case.
TWR: Not only is this an important decision for the Federal Justice System…It is a critical decision for this Nation.
All Federal Trials involving Former President, and 2024 Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump, MUST be available, unedited, in real time, to everyone in this Nation.
Jack Smith’s assertion that President Trump seeks to make his trial a ‘spectacle’ is simply imbecilic.
Mr. Smith, when you indicted, then charged President Trump in Federal Court…The first US President to ever be so charged, this became a spectacle…at you own hand.
Your sophistry about how the President is asking for ‘special treatment’ would be laughable were it not so sinister. Former President Trump is not a run of the mill white-collar criminal suspect. He absolutely deserves different/special treatment.
Finally, your stated (bogus) concern about ‘witness intimidation’ is as transparent as the rest of this lame attempt to hide your incompetence from the entire Nation…
What you’re actually afraid of is that when these “witnesses” appear on the stand, and in front of the entire Nation, they will be forced to re-evaluate the testimony they gave you in a small, dark room in a non-descript government office building…
…And realize they will be held publicly accountable for what they say for the rest of their lives…
…And that You, Jack Smith, will be evaluated, second-guessed, then ultimately exposed as nothing more than a tin-pot, third-world thug.
I can hardly wait…
BUDGET:
SPEAKER JOHNSON’S PLAN GARNERS DEM SUPPORT, CONSERVATIVE BLOW BACK
USA TODAY:
House Speaker Mike Johnson’s proposal to fund the government is facing serious pushback from a handful of ultraconservative lawmakers, setting up yet another showdown within the House Republican conference ahead of a potential government shutdown Friday.
The newly installed speaker has proposed a two-step extension of current funding levels to appease members who oppose a massive spending package passed just before Christmas.
Part of the government – including public health, military construction, housing, transportation, agriculture and energy programs – would be funded until Jan. 19, with the rest funded through Feb. 2.
The House plans to vote on the proposal as early as Tuesday.
TWR: And so…After all the fiery speeches, angry recriminations, political damage, we are where we started on October 3rd…
…A Continuing Resolution, put forward by a duly-elected Speaker of the House, that requires Democrat Support to pass.
Remember, if there are any Republicans I still agree with, they are the members of the Conservative Wing/Freedom Caucus.
However…
There is a time for conversation and compromise. There is likewise a time for fury and fighting.
As seems true with everything within the current Republican Party, the perspective required to know the difference is either suppressed or absent.
What is also true, is that where each of these tacks are concerned, Republicans are more interested in applying the latter to each other, as opposed to their Democrat colleagues.
It’s time for Republicans to quit kidding around. I wonder if they can?
LGBTQIA+:
MACY’S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE GETS PUSHBACK TO LGBTQ ‘EXTRAVAGANZA’
NY POST:
Nearly 20,000 people have signed a petition condemning next week’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as a “non-binary and transgender extravaganza” over the inclusion of two gender non-conforming performers in the lineup.
The petition by One Million Moms (OMM) — a conservative advocacy group created by the American Family Association — claims the annual kickoff to the holiday season will expose “the liberal LGBTQ agenda” to the tens of millions of viewers that tune in to the broadcast each year.
The petition calls out non-binary singer Justin David Sullivan, who goes by the pronouns, he/she/they and recently landed a breakout role on Broadway as May in “& Juliet,” which will be showcased during the three-hour parade.
The petition’s searing description concluded with: “Shame on Macy’s for promoting and sponsoring this type of entertainment. …It is clear that Macy’s does not have our children’s best interests in mind. Macy’s needs to know that trust must be earned, and once trust is lost, it is difficult to get back.”
TWR: One wonders if following yet another delve into the obnoxious injection of sex organs into what is otherwise a broad-based celebration of giving Thanks for the Blessings of this year, if Macy’s will announce itself as America’s Sole distributor of Bud-Light.
Look this is simple…
The number of Americans identifying as Trans-Gender represent .05% of America’s population.
The number of Americans who celebrate Thanksgiving represent 90% of America’s population.
Which audience do you want to visit their nearest Macy’s?
