ISRAEL/HAMAS:
ISRAEL SAYS CEASE-FIRE TERMS VIOLATED BY 3 DETONATIONS, GUNFIRE; IDF SOLDIERS INJURED
FOX NEWS:
Israeli Defense Forces accused Hamas violating the cease-fire agreement after a trio of explosions and an exchange of gunfire in northern Gaza on Tuesday.
The IDF says the three explosives were detonated in close proximity to Israeli troops, causing some light injuries. While Israel stated that the explosives violated the cease-fire, it did not indicate plans to withdraw from the deal as of early Tuesday morning.
"Over the last hour, three explosive devices were detonated adjacent to IDF troops in two different locations in the northern Gaza Strip, violating the framework of the operational pause. In one of the locations, terrorists also opened fire at the troops, who responded with fire," the IDF said in a statement.
"A number of soldiers were lightly injured during the incidents," the statement continued. "In both incidents, the troops were located in positions as per the framework of the operational pause."
Hamas released a statement saying it remains committed to the terms of the cease-fire, and it in turn accused Israel of violations.
"As a result of a clear violation by the enemy of the truce agreement in the northern Gaza Strip today, field friction occurred and our mujahideen dealt with this violation. We are committed to the truce as long as the enemy has committed to it, and we call on the mediators to pressure the occupation to adhere to all the terms of the truce on the ground and in the air," Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades wrote in a statement.
TWR: The Hatred-Inspired mistrust is pervasive through all this…
Hamas knows their lives are forfeit with the last release of the last hostage…
Israel knows that if they are unsuccessful in the Destruction of Hamas, or if they acquiesce to International Bigotry against them, they will see another Palestinian Terror massacre soon.

USA TODAY:
Eleven more hostages were released and reached Israel late Monday, according to the Israeli military, and the truce that gained freedom for them and dozens of other captives was extended by two days, bringing relative calm to the war-devastated Gaza Strip.
"After they undergo an initial medical assessment, our forces will accompany them until they are reunited with their families,'' the Israel Defense Forces said of the newly freed hostages.
As part of the deal, Israel released 33 Palestinian prisoners who were driven early Tuesday to the West Bank city of Ramallah, where they were greeted by cheering crowds.
The truce had been scheduled to end Monday, but Israeli and Palestinian leaders had expressed support for extending it and freeing more militant-held hostages and Israeli-held prisoners. Israel had previously offered to extend the cease-fire by one day for every 10 additional hostages released.
TWR: The cease-fire extensions seem to be working…Israel is getting back their Women & Children…The Palestinians are getting back their criminals.
ISRAELI GOVERNMENT APPROVES POTENTIAL RELEASE OF 50 PALESTINIANS
USA TODAY:
Following the extension of the temporary truce, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the Israeli government has approved the potential release of 50 additional Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
According to Netanyahu's office, the Palestinians in Israeli detention would be eligible for release "in the event that a release of additional Israeli hostages is carried out."
Netanyahu's office described the 50 Palestinians as "female" prisoners. All Palestinians that have been released from Israeli detention as part of the temporary truce have been women and children.

THREE RELATIVES OF NEW YORK FAMILY RELEASED
USA TODAY:
Among the 11 hostages released are Sharon Alony Cunio, 34, and her 3-year-old twin daughters, Emma and Yuli. The Cunio family has relatives in New York who have worked desperately for their release.
One of Sharon Cunio’s American cousins, Alana Zeitchik of Brooklyn, launched a campaign called Bring Our Family Home to tell the stories of several Israeli relatives held hostage since the Oct. 7 Hamas rampage.
Cunio's sister, 44-year-old Danielle Alony, and her 5-year-old daughter Amelia were among the first group of hostages freed last week. Sharon’s husband, David Cunio, remains in Hamas captivity in Gaza. All six family members were together in Kibbutz Nir Oz near the Israel-Gaza border when Hamas militants attacked.

IRAN:
THE WORLD’S #1 STATE SPONSOR OF TERROR FLEXES NEW MILITARY TECH
FOX NEWS:
The Iranian government is flexing its military power via a series of recent announcements as questions continue to grow as to whether the United States is doing enough to push back against the regime’s increased attacks on American interests in the aftermath of the Hamas terror attack in Israel on Oct. 7.
On Monday, Iran unveiled a new sophisticated warship for its Caspian Sea fleet that it says will be a "sea of peace and friendship" and said Iran’s naval power there will serve "peace (and) security of commercial fleets, confronting terrorists and probable incidents in the future."
The announcement comes shortly after the country claimed to have developed a new hypersonic ballistic missile, allegedly expanding one of the most dangerous military capabilities at their disposal.
As Iran announces military advancements, Iranian-backed proxies have carried out dozens of attacks on American bases and interests in the Middle East since the Iran-backed Hamas terror organization attacked Israel, including in international waters where Yemen’s Houthi rebels have fired upon and hijacked ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
TWR: Why is Iran not under American & Israeli bombardment, right this minute?
SCHOOLS:
TEACHERS UNION ACKNOWLEDGES HARMING JEWS
FOX NEWS:
The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers Local 59 (MFT) called for a members-only meeting to push a resolution that acknowledges harm done to Jewish residents in the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) district.
The local teachers union passed a resolution In October to "condemn the role our [America] government plays in supporting the system of Israeli occupation and apartheid, which lies at the root of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict." In addition, the resolution called on Minnesota state lawmakers to repeal anti-BDS legislation.
Jewish parents and other concerned citizens were outraged by the MFT's statement on the Israel-Hamas war, calling it "antisemitic and hostile."
MFT admitted that there was "unnecessary division" caused in the community by the Oct. 25 resolution.
"While it was not MFT members' intent, the ‘Israel-Palestine’ resolution passed at our October 25 meeting harmed many Jewish members, students, and families while causing unnecessary division within our union. We regret this," the flier added.
TWR: Good the MFT realized they were being bigots.
Now, will they do anything more than pass useless resolutions?
TENNESSEE GOVERNOR BILL LEE WORKS TO BROADEN SCHOOL CHOICE
FOX NEWS:
Republican Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee is launching an ambitious effort to take school choice statewide on Tuesday, and he'll have some company for the announcement in Nashville.
Lee is announcing the Education Freedom Scholarship Act, which his office says will "extend school choice to every family across rural and urban Tennessee communities, putting parents at the forefront of their child’s education" and giving them all access to the best school for them.
The current pilot program, called the Education Savings Account (ESA), has more than 3,400 families applying to join, and more than 2,400 students enrolled in participating non-public schools.
The participating students get about $9,000 a year to attend eligible private schools.
TWR: The Public Schools deserve the abandonment they have begged for.
There is no reason for any responsible parent to sacrifice their Rights, morality, family standards, or those of their children to manic sexualization, political indoctrination and poisonous Anti-Americanism.
Allow all State & Federal per-child funding to follow the student. Force the Public Schools to attract students instead of abusing them.

CENSORSHIP DISPARITY BETWEEN BIDEN & POLITICAL OPPONENTS
FOX NEWS:
President Biden’s political opponents have been censored by Big Tech "a whopping 162 times combined," according to the Media Research Center.
Media Research Center’s CensorTrack.org researchers Heather Moon and Gabriela Pariseau conducted the study that found 169 cases of censorship against 2024 presidential hopefuls with only 7 of the instances being against Biden himself, across Google, YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn.
"The year 2024 has not yet begun, but election-interfering censorship is well underway as Big Tech companies have already censored every presidential candidate," Moon and Pariseau wrote.
The study found that Big Tech platforms have "manipulated the message of all 2024 presidential candidates at least once" and Vivek Ramaswamy has been censored 18 times to top the list.
TWR: Nothing new here…The Media is Propaganda…Thus there is no Truth.
BIDEN OFFICIAL MISQUOTES REAGAN
FOX NEWS:
A senior Biden administration official was caught on camera butchering a popular phrase coined by the late former President Ronald Reagan about the federal government's role in the everyday lives of Americans.
"As, I think it was President Reagan said, ‘We’re from the government. We're here to help,'" Education Secretary Miguel Cardona told those gathered at the Western Governors Association Winter Meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Monday.
The context of his comments centered on the federal government working with state governors on funding priorities related to education, but were drastically different from what Reagan actually said in his often cited quote, which he first uttered during a news conference on Aug.12, 1986.
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government, and I'm here to help," Reagan said.
TWR: The man is a dufus.
HUNTER BIDEN AGREES TO APPEAR BEFORE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, BUT ONLY IF PUBLIC
ABC NEWS:
Hunter Biden is willing to testify before the House Oversight Committee -- but only in public, according to a letter his attorney wrote to Republican lawmakers on Tuesday.
Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena earlier this month to depose Hunter Biden on Dec. 13. In his letter, Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Biden, accused Comer of selectively leaking information from closed-door depositions with other witnesses in his ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
"We have seen you use closed-door sessions to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public," Lowell wrote to Comer. "We therefore propose opening the door."
"Your empty investigation has gone on too long wasting too many better-used resources. It should come to an end," Lowell continued. "Consequently, Mr. Biden will appear at such a public hearing on the date you noticed, December 13, or any date in December that we can arrange."
Comer announced a slew of subpoenas on Nov. 8 targeting members of the president's family, including Hunter Biden, brother James Biden, and former Hunter Biden business associate Rob Walker, demanding they appear for depositions.
TWR: Hunter Biden Attorney Abbe Lowell is now accusing Rep James Comer of doing exactly what the Jan 6th Committee did.
JILL BIDEN UNVEILS HOLIDAY DECORATIONS
CNN:
Complete with 98 Christmas trees, 72 wreaths and 2.8 miles of ribbon, the White House has been transformed into a classic winter wonderland for the holidays.
Letters to Santa Claus appear to fly magically in and out of old mailboxes and a vintage train weaves around the base of an 18.5-foot Fraser fir Christmas tree, while all manner of candied treats deck the halls — including a huge gingerbread White House.
Unveiling the decorations Monday, first lady Jill Biden said this year’s theme, the “Magic, Wonder and Joy” of the holiday season, was inspired by “childlike marvel and awe.”
“Children are unbound by time and inherently know beauty: the rich, colorful mosaic of autumn leaves piled high on an emerald blanket of grass; the mesmerizing rhythm of soft, powdery snow as it falls from a glistening night sky,” said Biden as she welcomed National Guard and local military families to the White House as the first guests to experience the holiday décor.
TWR: I’m glad to see Jill Biden decorating the White House for Christmas…Without the Media trashing her efforts.
If only the Media had applied that editorial policy to Melania Trump’s work.
