President Donald Trump warned Hamas to release all Israeli hostages or “it is OVER for you.”

On Wednesday, Trump posted on Truth Social, telling the terrorist organization to release all of the hostages now and to immediately return all of the dead bodies that they currently have in their possession.

“‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted! 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,” he stated.

“I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance. Also, to the people of Gaza: A beautiful future awaits, but not if you hold hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!” he continued.

Earlier in the day, Trump had wrapped up a meeting at the White House with a group of eight released hostages where he stated “We will get them out,” referring to the remaining hostages being held by Hamas.

“Thank you all. We’re working on it very hard,” Trump said as he shook each of the freed hostages. “We’ll do the best we can… Horrible stories. It’s not even believable… We’ll get them out. Watch. We’ll get them out.”

The released hostages thanked Trump for his efforts to release them.

“You’ve been sent by God to release them. You can really help. You have the power to do it,” said Omer Shem Tov, who had been held captive by Hamas.

“You were our hope when we were there, and now you’re their hope,” said another rescued hostage, Naama Levy.

CHARLIE KIRK: J6ers NOT BEING RELEASED FROM DC JAIL AFTER PARDON~GLENN BECK REPORTS ALSO

Are DC Prisons IGNORING Trump's J6 Pardons?!

Rumors have spread that prison officials in Washington DC are refusing to release many January 6th prisoners, despite President Trump’s pardons for 1500 of them. Sen. Mike Lee tells Glenn that this appears to be true. He explains how he has looked into the situation and argues, “from what we can tell, they haven’t complied with it yet. It’s yet another reason to revisit DC’s Home Rule, which I think should be repealed.” Sen. Lee also weighs in on why he believes Biden’s decision to pardon members of the Jan. 6 Committee will be GOOD for the Republic: since they can no longer plead the 5th, “we can finally get to the bottom of exactly what happened.” So, will Congress “subpoena the heck out of” them?

99 Illegals in the U.S. Terror Watch List RELEASED

“Border Updates” via Jim Jordan info@nicolemalliotakis.com

Nicole for New York
John,

Did you know that 99 Illegal Aliens on the Terrorist Watch List have been RELEASED into U.S. communities by the Biden-Harris Administration?

99 ILLEGAL ALIENS ON THE TERRORIST WATCH LIST RELEASED INTO OUR COMMUNITIES

“Border Czar” Kamala Harris has ZERO REGARD for the safety of our families, our children, our neighborhoods, our homes. While she lives in Washington, Facetimes Radical's Tim Walz, and plans her next campaign rally from the safety of the White House, she’s ignoring the pleas of hundreds of thousands of Americans to DO SOMETHING about the crisis down at the border.

When the Biden-Harris Administration said they’d stop building the border wall, end the “remain in Mexico” policy, and stop detaining illegal aliens when they cross into our territory, they opened the doors to violent and dangerous individuals, who have harmed and even killed countless innocent Americans.

Americans want to feel SAFE. Americans want to feel SECURE. Americans want leaders who put these values first and NOT their personal agenda like Border Czar Harris has.

We cannot allow the Left to further destroy our nation. What’s next? Allowing illegal aliens to vote in our elections? (That’s the desire of some on the left, at least).

It’s time to close the border NOW and DEPORT dangerous individuals from our country: join me here.

Nikki Haley Releases Her Delegates To Support Trump At RNC

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley announced she would vote for former President Donald Trump during an event at the Hudson Institute on May 22, 2024 in Washington, DC.

OAN’s James Meyers
1:57 PM – Tuesday, July 9, 2024

Nikki Haley is releasing the delegates she won during this year’s Republican primary so they can be available to support Donald Trump at next week’s Republican National Convention (RNC), a move that will help the former president receive even more GOP support.

According to Haley’s former campaign, she opted to release her 97 delegates that she won across a dozen primaries and caucuses earlier this year. 

In a statement, the former United Nations ambassador called for party unity at the upcoming (RNC) meeting in Milwaukee. Haley also said that President Joe Biden is “not competent to serve a second term” and asserted that Vice President Kamala Harris “would be a disaster for America.”

“We need a president who will hold our enemies to account, secure our borders, cut our debt, and get our economy back on track,” Haley said. “I encourage my delegates to support Donald Trump next week in Milwaukee.”

However, Haley herself will not be in Milwaukee next week, according to spokesperson Chaney Denton.

“She was not invited, and she’s fine with that,” Denton said. “Trump deserves the convention he wants. She’s made it clear she’s voting for him and wishes him the best.”

During her campaign, Haley accused Trump of prompting chaos and disregarding the importance of alliances with other nations abroad.

In response, the former president called her a “Birdbrain,” though he stopped those attacks after securing enough delegates in March to become the presumptive Republican nominee.

Meanwhile, Trump’s 2024 campaign has not commented on Haley’s latest move.

Biden’s campaign has been working to win over her supporters, who they view as swing voters. Haley also said in May that she would be voting for the 45th president and would leave it up to him to win over her supporters.

White House releases Biden doctor letter after Parkinson’s report

The White House released a letter Monday night from President Biden's physician explaining why a Parkinson’s disease specialist had visited the White House several times. It came hours after Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sparred with reporters about Biden's health. In the letter, Dr. Kevin O'Connor said Kevin Cannard "was the neurological specialist that examined President Biden for each of his annual physicals ... President Biden has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical.” Widespread concerns from fellow Democrats over Biden's health and cognitive abilities have been magnified since his performance in last month's debate against former President Trump.

 

Border patrol releases Afghan Muslim migrant on terror watch list into U.S.

By

What could possibly go wrong? After all, the feds have to devote all of their resources to catching “insurrectionists.”

“Man on terror watchlist was released by Border Patrol,” by Julia Ainsley, Didi Martinez and Laura Strickler, NBC News, April 11, 2024:

SAN ANTONIO — An Afghan migrant on a terrorist watchlist spent nearly a year inside the U.S. after he was apprehended and released by Border Patrol agents last year, U.S. officials told NBC News. The man was arrested in February and then released again last month again by an immigration judge who was not told he was a national security threat.

Mohammad Kharwin, 48, was freed on bond as he awaited an immigration hearing in Texas scheduled for 2025, U.S. officials said. There were no restrictions on his movements inside the U.S.

(After this article was published, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said Kharwin was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents late Thursday evening. A source familiar with the matter said that, “based on the information currently available, there is no reason to believe this individual entered the country as part of a terrorist mission.”)

Kharwin was initially apprehended on March 10, 2023, near San Ysidro, California, after having crossed the Mexico-U.S. border illegally.

Border agents suspected he was on a U.S. terrorist watchlist when he was apprehended because one piece of information matched a person on the list. But the agents lacked corroborating information, which officials declined to describe, that would confirm Kharwin was the person they suspected, U.S. officials said.

After it processed Kharwin and took his biometric data, Customs and Border Protection released him as it would any other migrant, without alerting Immigration and Customs Enforcement about possible terrorism ties, U.S. officials said.

Kharwin was referred to ICE’s Alternatives to Detention Program, requiring him to check in periodically by phone with an ICE officer. He was able to apply for asylum and work authorization and fly domestically in the U.S., the officials said.

Kharwin is on the national terrorist watchlist maintained by the FBI, which includes the names of 1.8 million people considered potential security risks. The database indicates he is a member of Hezb-e-Islami, or HIG, a political and paramilitary organization that the U.S. has designated a terrorist organization.

According to the national intelligence director’s office, HIG is a “virulently anti-Western insurgent group” that sought to overturn the Western-backed Afghan government before its fall in 2021. HIG was responsible for attacks in Afghanistan that killed at least nine American soldiers and civilians from 2013 to 2015. The group is not seen as a top threat in terms of attacks inside the U.S….

The case illustrates the challenges U.S. officials face in identifying migrants who may pose national security threats. Kharwin’s case is the third incident in two years in which Customs and Border Protection has released migrants with suspected terrorist ties.  A migrant with ties to the Somali terror group al-Shabaab was arrested this year in Minnesota after having lived in the U.S. for nearly a year, the Daily Caller reported….

Hamas rejects key elements of truce offer, demands release of jihad mass murderer Barghouti

  BY 

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/02/hamas-rejects-key-elements-of-truce-offer-demands-release-of-jihad-mass-murderer-barghouti#; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Islamic law stipulates that “if Muslims are weak, a truce may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) made a truce with the Quraysh for that long, as is related by Abu Dawud” (‘Umdat as-Salik, o9.16).

Note that this can only be done if “Muslims are weak.” The same legal manual also quotes this verse of the Qur’an: “So do not be fainthearted and call for peace, when it is you who are the uppermost” (47:35). So Hamas would not want a truce at all if it believed that it was in a position of strength. “Interests that justify making a truce are such things as Muslim weakness because of lack of numbers or materiel, or the hope of an enemy becoming Muslim…” (‘Umdat as-Salik, o9.16).

The bottom line: Hamas is feeling the heat and wants a truce in order to regroup and emerge in a stronger position. But Western analysts do not know or care about what Islamic law says, and so Hamas feels free to issue demands even from its position of weakness, aware of how much pressure Israel is under from the Biden regime and others who desperately want it to allow Hamas to live and kill Israeli civilians on another day.

“Hamas seems to rule out key points of truce offer, wants release of Marwan Barghouti,” Times of Israel, February 2, 2024:

Hamas officials said Friday that the group is studying a proposed ceasefire deal that would include prolonged pauses in fighting in Gaza and swaps of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, but at the same time appeared to rule out some of its key components.

Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh held a phone call with Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ziad Nakhaleh to discuss the deal, the Gaza-ruling terror group announced. According to a statement from Haniyeh’s office, the two agreed any deal with Israel for the release of hostages must be accompanied by a complete halt to the fighting, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, ending the blockade, reconstruction of the Strip and the freeing of Palestinian security prisoners.

Such steep demands would seem to be non-starters for Israel.

Meanwhile Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas official in Beirut, also said the group remains committed to its initial demands for a permanent ceasefire that would end the war. Hamdan also said the group seeks the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners being held for acts related to the conflict with Israel, including those serving life sentences.

He mentioned two by name, including Marwan Barghouti, a popular Palestinian leader seen as a unifying figure. Barghouti was arrested by Israel in 2002 and is serving five life terms for planning three terror attacks that killed five Israelis during the Second Intifada….

US State Department says Hamas won’t release female hostages because they will tell about jihadis’ sex crimes~Rape, Torture, Mutilation, and Murder by Hamas of Both Men and Women

This is quite likely. Hamas enjoys vogue right now and the world loves it. But too many horrific rape stories might sour the affection of even the most ardent Leftist.

“US State Department–Hamas won’t release women hostages because they will talk about sex crimes,” by Vered Weiss, World Israel News, December 4, 2023:

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller revealed in a press conference that Hamas won’t free the remaining women because they don’t want them to talk about possible sex crimes in captivity.

With increasing reports about the frequency and severity of sexual crimes, including rape and genital mutilation, perpetrated by Hamas on October 7th, Matthew Miller has posited the hesitancy of releasing female hostages, the main issue that led to the end of the ceasefire and the resumption of fighting, is to prevent them from revealing similar crimes during their confinement.

In a press conference, Miller said, “The fact that they continue to hold women, hostages, the fact that they continue to hold children, hostages, just the fact that it seems one of the reasons they don’t want to turn women over they’ve been holding hostage, and the reason this pause fell apart, is they don’t want those women to be able to talk about what happened to them during their time in custody.”

“There is very little that I would put beyond Hamas when it comes to its treatment of civilians, and particularly its treatment of women,” he adds.

Last week, 110 elderly women, mothers and their children, and foreign nationals were released by Hamas.

As of last Friday after the ceasefire, 136 hostages remain who are mainly male, but there are still a number of women, including one who was seen in October 7th footage revealing blood on the seat of her sweatpants as she was shoved by terrorists into a van….

Rape, Torture, Mutilation, and Murder by Hamas of Both Men and Women

More eyewitness accounts have just been released about the sexual assaults, followed by torture and decapitations, of both men and women, carried out by Hamas on October 7. The story can be found here: “Hamas raped men as well as women during October 7 attack: Investigators reveal how sex assault victims were tied up, stripped and mutilated as Israel launches its ‘biggest ever criminal investigation,'” by Summer Goodkind and David Averre, Daily Mail, December 4, 2023:

Israeli investigators probing the fallout of the brutal October 7 attacks have found evidence that men as well as women suffered sexual violence and rape at the hands of Hamas and Islamic Jihad attackers, activists have claimed.

Yael Sherer, a spokeswoman for Israel’s Survivors of Sexual Violence advocacy group, said there was physical evidence as well as eyewitness accounts of sexual violence perpetrated against both sexes amid the attacks.

‘There was sexual violence and rape in these communities in the south of Israel… we have a few living survivors – not a lot – of both genders. It didn’t only happen to women, it happened to men as well,’ she told BBC Radio 4.

‘Aside from finding the bodies of people who were murdered, a lot of the bodies were mutilated… terrorists made sure to disgrace these people and dishonor them,’ she added….

Yoni Saadon, 39, who survived the attack on the Nova music festival by hiding under dead bodies, this weekend gave a harrowing account of the sexual violence he saw perpetrated against women at the campground.

One horrifying image he described was the moment a woman’s decapitated head rolled across the road, after she was beheaded for refusing to be stripped naked….

After an hour, the shift manager peeked out. ‘I saw this beautiful woman with the face of an angel and eight or ten of the fighters beating and raping her.’

The woman was screaming "stop it," he said, and begged the terrorists to kill her to put her out of her misery.

‘When they finished they were laughing and the last one shot her in the head," he said.

The father of four admitted how his mind kept reminding him it could have been one of his daughters, or his sister, who at the last minute bowed out of the festival.

The horror was far from over for Yoni as, hiding in the bushes, he saw two more Hamas fighters catch a woman.

‘She was fighting back, not allowing them to strip her,’ he recalled. ‘They threw her to the ground and one of the terrorists took a shovel and beheaded her and her head rolled along the ground. I see that head too.’…

Haim Outmezgine, commander of a special unit of Zaka, that collects the remains of bodies said: ‘We collected 1,000 bodies in ten days from the festival site and kibbutzim. No one saw more than us.

‘It was clear they were trying to spread as much horror as they could — to kill, to burn alive, to rape … it seemed their mission was to rape as many as possible.’

David Katz, head of the Lahav 443 criminal investigation unit, did not give a precise figure for the number of cases under investigation, but said the inquiry could take 'six to eight months’.

The horror grows and grows. Those who still are unable to appreciate Israel’s determination to eliminate Hamas, and — like the Bidenites — preposterously hector Israel to “use great care to limit civilian casualties,” when that is something the IDF already does, more than any other army in the world, should study carefully these eyewitness accounts of unparalleled barbarity.
