🚨🚨BREAKING: RON DESANTIS BLAMES IRAN FOR ISRAELI WAR "Israel is now under attack by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists. Iran has helped fund this war against Israel, and Joe Biden's policies that have gone easy on Iran have helped fill their coffers. We are going to stand with Israel as they root out Hamas, and we need to stand up to Iran." Further updates will follow below as events continue to unfold. UPDATES IN LIVE SPACE ONGOING NOW

🚨🚨BREAKING: MEDIA REPORTS OF IRANIAN LINKS IN ISRAELI/HAMAS WAR | NO CONFIRMATION Open support of Hamas from Iran was expected, but it appears that Western media reporting on the links is not yet confirmed (unsurprisingly). If Iran confirms ANY involvement, this will be an extraordinary escalation, and the media reports should. be taken extremely seriously. HOWEVER, the statement shared by official Iranian news was: "We congratulate the Palestinian fighters," the Advisor and Senior Aide for Armed Forces affairs to Iran’s Supreme Leader Yahya Rahim Safavi said. "We will stand by the Palestinian fighters until the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem." At this moment in time, there is no evidence of direct or indirect support from Iran for Hamas. HOWEVER, things could change at any time as rhetorics by Iran and Hezbollah escalate. The long standing relations between Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah are well known. Analysts say the possibility of an indirect link to the Israel/Palestinian conflict will be VERY REAL if Hezbollah joins the fighting. Further updates will follow below as events continue to unfold.

🚨🚨BREAKING: 1000 PALESTINIANS ENTER ISRAEL Al Jazeera’s Walid Al Omari says Israeli forces have surrounded a house in the Ofakim settlement, and negotiations are underway with Palestinian fighters allegedly holding hostages. “Israeli sources estimate at least 1,000 Palestinians managed to infiltrate into Israel through four different areas. It is the first time since 1948 that these developments are on the Israeli side because they are usually held in Arab areas." Analysts point out this will likely include mostly civilians, however we do not have enough data yet to come to any definite conclusions. Further updates will follow below as events continue to unfold. UPDATES IN LIVE SPACE ONGOING NOW

🚨🚨BREAKING: SAUDI HOLDS ISRAEL RESPONSIBLE FOR WAR | LATEST DEVELOPMENTS An official statement from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs: “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia holds Israel responsible for what has transpired due to its repeated provocations and deprivation of the rights of Palestinians.” This shatters any hope for a swift resolution to the conflict. It alters the landscape concerning the Abraham Accords and the normalization of relations. The Palestinian Health Ministry reports that, according to preliminary data, 161 people were killed and 931 were injured in Palestine. At least 40 Israelis are confirmed dead, with 750 injured. These numbers will certainly increase as the war escalates. Israeli army spokesman: “We continue to call up reserve forces on a large scale. We call for shelters in towns near the Gaza border due to the presence of armed men there. We continue to call up reserve forces on a large scale and are fighting a fierce war.” A representative reported to CNN: "Tens of thousands are enlisting in the reserves. The amount of volunteers coming in forward is 'wall to wall."

🚨🚨BREAKING: ISRAELI ARMY NOT REGAINED CONTROL OF ANY OF THE LOCATIONS INFILTRATED BY HAMAS Israel's military says it needs a few hours to regain control of settlements near the border with Gaza which were attacked by Hamas members. But the reports on the ground are saying otherwise. According to Haaretz, the Israeli army has not gained control of ANY of the locations in southern Israel. The Israeli publication said residents reported being still in shelters, without Israeli security forces or medical staff on site. This conflict is quite intense and it seems much more complicated than a few hours to be resolved. We are currently covering the situation LIVE in the ongoing space.

🚨🚨BREAKING: The semi-official ISNA news site has reported that an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has congratulated Palestinian fighters for launching the biggest attack on Israel in years. “We congratulate the Palestinian fighters. We will stand by the Palestinian fighters until the liberation of Palestine and Jerusalem.” There are also reports of Palestinians in East Jerusalem starting to rise up against the Israeli occupation soldiers. We also have footage and reports of the teardown of the separation fence between Gaza and Israel, where many Palestinians are entering Israel.

🚨🚨BREAKING: Israeli Commander Nimrod Aloni has been captured by Hamas in the ongoing war. Analyst: "This is big. Israel is meant to be a big military force. This shows the extent to which they are on the back foot and not ready to respond to this attack. This also shows the extent of the Hamas operation" Nimrod Aloni is the commander of the Depth Corps

It will face the consequences and responsibility for these events.” We will continue to update the news below as the story develops. SPACE IS LIVE, LINK BELOW

🚨NUCLEAR EXTINCTION: PUTIN HAS THREATENED ANNIHILATION IF A NUCLEAR STRIKE IS DETECTED Putin's recent statements on nuclear capabilities should be alarming to EVERYONE. He threatened ‘enemies’ with total nuclear annihilation, leaving 'no chance of survival' Putin emphasized that once Nuclear missile launches are detected, a massive retaliatory strike of HUNDREDS of Russian Nuclear missiles will be unleashed from various directions, ensuring that ‘no single enemy survives.’ In other words, any Nuclear strike from any NATO member could mean a simultaneous and total nuclear strike against all NATO nuclear powers, including the U.S. It's important to note that NATO has never threatened a first strike on Moscow. Recent reports suggested suspicions of a new test in the Arctic involving the Burevestnik, a super powerful missile with an onboard nuclear reactor. Putin also bragged about the successful testing of the 'Sarmat' or 'Satan-2,' an unstoppable ICBM that travels at 15,880 mph and is the size of a 14-storey tower block. He vowed to move towards mass production and combat duty deployment soon. When asked about resuming nuclear weapons testing, Putin remained non-committal, suggesting Russia could potentially revoke ratification of the international nuclear test ban treaty. MY THOUGHTS: The Ukraine war is complex. Russia is at fault, and denying this is ridiculous. This does NOT mean NATO is also not at fault, and it does not mean one cannot criticize the West for not doing enough to END the war. Voters, the media, and lawmakers, need to take steps in DE-ESCALATING this war rather than criticizing those who do so. I don’t want to sound alarming, but if this war gets out of control, the world is at risk of more destruction than both World Wars combined. Although slim, this is the closest we've been to such a position since the Cold War. Russia is known to bluff, and people like to compare this to the ‘Boy That Cried Wolf’. What those people forget is that eventually, the boy cried wolf and the wolf was actually there, killing the boy. This is a risk the world CANNOT AFFORD.

95-YEAR-OLD WAR VETERAN EVICTED TO MAKE ROOM FOR MIGRANTS Korean War veteran Frank Tammaro was abruptly informed he had to vacate his nursing home with less than two months' notice. THE REASON? The facility was being converted to house undocumented migrants. "Everything was done behind closed doors – we didn't have a chance to... stop them because there wasn't enough time." Thankfully, Tammaro could move in with his daughter, but I am sure not everyone there was so lucky. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis criticized the city's priorities: ”Our tax dollars...should not be utilized to house citizens of other countries, especially at the expense of our senior citizens and veterans." This incident underscores the tension in New York City as it grapples with an influx of migrants, stressing its infrastructure and housing resources. This is a heartbreaking story to hear. Not only is Tamara an American citizen, he is a VETERAN. He fought in the Korean War to defend his country, and is now being evicted in his golden years. MY THOUGHTS: This is a tough one for me. My heart aches for migrants looking for a better future, the struggles they go through. My heart also aches for war veterans. The men and women who fight for their country are being discarded by society, rather than treated like heroes. I understand the value immigration can bring to the economy, but does it make sense to prioritize immigrants over a country’s own citizens? Am I missing something?

🚨NYC MAYOR TRAVELS TO MEXICO: "WE ARE AT CAPACITY" In the face of an unprecedented surge of migrants, New York City's Mayor flew to Latin America with conflicting messages. As 120,000 migrants flood NY streets, Mayor Adams admitted “We are at capacity.” Despite this, he stressed his position is unchanged: “We believe the borders should remain open. That's the official position of this city.” NYC has spent over $12 billion on renting hotel spaces, erecting emergency shelters, and offering vital services for asylum seekers. Adams is pushing change at the Federal level, but with a divided Congress and a House in turmoil, WILL ANYTHING BE DONE?

🚨BREAKING: TRUMP WOULD ACCEPT HOUSE SPEAKER POSITION Trump confirmed he would accept a short-term role as speaker of the House to serve as a "unifier" for the Republican Party until a permanent replacement is found. Trump initially rejected the notion on Wednesday: “My focus is totally on [the presidency]. If I can help them during the process, I’ll do it. But we have some great people in the Republican Party that could do a great job as speaker.” However, his name has emerged as a potential candidate, and he now seems more interested. But is it possible for Trump to become Speaker? The Republican Party’s own rule bars anyone under indictment for serious charges from any House leadership role. Would Trump make a good replacement as House speaker?

Do you trust the SEC?

🚨BREAKING: SEC SUES ELON IN TWITTER STOCK PURCHASE CASE Another witch-hunt has started. The SEC, which has been investigating Elon’s 2022 purchase of Twitter shares, is now suing to force him to testify and comply with their subpoena. This is yet another attack on Elon by the ‘alphabet organizations’. Here are a few of the others: 1. TESLA: The DOJ and the SEC claimed Musk used millions of dollars from Tesla to secretly build himself a ‘spacious glass structure’ labeled as 'House for CEO Elon Musk.' (Not making this up) Elon replied: “This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. Where is this house!? Metaphors don’t count!” 2. X/TWITTER: X got in trouble with the Biden Administration after refusing to hand over Trump’s personal Twitter data and information to prosecutors. The information included: - Trump’s use of the account, - Whether others had access to it - Whether he might have written draft tweets that he left unposted. Twitter initially resisted complying with the search warrant, arguing that the order violated Trump’s constitutional right to free speech. This resulted in a federal judge holding the company in contempt and fining it $350,000. 3. SPACE X: The DOJ sued SpaceX for discriminating against refugees in the company’s hiring process. They claim the company discourages refugees from applying for positions, giving their applications unfair consideration and refusing to hire them even if they were deemed qualified applicants. Yep, SpaceX was attacked by the DOJ for not hiring enough Americans. What’s ironic is that the DOJ is rarely allowed to hire non-Americans. Why did all these attacks begin after @elonmusk acquired X and began his fight for Freedom of Speech?

🚨BREAKING: RUSSIA TO DEPLOY NUCLEAR POWERED MISSLE | Threatens West With ‘Response’ Putin says Russia will deploy a nuclear powered missile ‘soon’. This comes after a successful test of a nuclear-powered and nuclear-capable cruise missile with a potential range of many thousands of miles. Putin also declined to rule out the possibility it could carry out weapons tests involving nuclear explosions for the first time in more than three decades. Today, Putin warned the West of a ‘response’ to the pressure, and his willingness to ‘end the war’: "There is permanently increasing military and political pressure [from the West]. We have to respond. I have said many times that it was not us who started the war in Ukraine. On the contrary, we are trying to end it." “The West has lost the sense of reality. Ukrainian conflict is not about territories. The issue is about global order.” Zelensky warned Europe that if Ukraine loses, Russia will attack other counties as well. Is Russia posturing again, as we’ve seen in the past, or is this not a bluff?

WATCH: BIDEN'S ADVICE FOR NEXT HOUSE SPEAKER The political landscape has gotten so divided and nasty that even Joe Biden, the president of the country, wants nothing to do with it! When asked to give some advice to the incoming House Speaker, he said: “It is above my pay grade.“ - The former President and current front-runner is being indicted - The son of the current President is also being indicted - The world is facing an increasing risk of a Nuclear conflict Yet the world’s leading Democracy and superpower cannot agree on a House Speaker. We’re approaching a dangerous crossroad in the country: We either shift paths, or we’re heading down a dangerous unknown. A divisive country is a dysfunctional democracy. Is it too late for the Left and Right to work together?

BIDEN SNEAKILY BUILDING TRUMP'S WALL The Democrats and the media criticized Trump’s wall. But now, Biden has made a decision to waive 26 federal laws in South Texas for border wall construction. This marks a notable use of executive power, reminiscent of the Trump era. There has been relative silence in the media and by the administration. Why? The political debate over this decision is fierce: Rep. Henry Cuellar calls the border wall a "14th-century solution to a 21st-century problem" and criticizes it as wasteful spending. Supporters argue that this waiver is a shift in policy, acknowledging the effectiveness of secure walls in controlling borders. Double standards? Or a has Biden finally realized the needs to secure the borders?
