MICHELLE OBAMA TO REPLACE BIDEN AS NOMINEE? It’s rumored that sometime between May and the Democratic National Convention in August, Biden will step aside.

I am terrified about what could possibly happen because our leaders matter, who we select, who speaks for us, who holds that bully pulpit. It affects us in ways that I think sometimes people take for granted.” Source: New York Post

UKRAINE WIN FOR PUTIN = NEW WORLD ORDER Defense and security think tank RUSI believes that success for Putin in Ukraine would be catastrophic for the West, potentially leading to the downfall of NATO. They claim it would show NATO is capable of sacrificing a European country, and it would encourage other countries to think the US and the West are no longer the dominant force in the world. “A Russian victory would also force the countries of the Global South to seek special relationships with these countries, displacing the US as an international security broker.” Source: Daily Mail

CALIFORNIA WANTS TO CONTROL YOUR CAR SPEED Instead of trying to catch speeding motorists, a new bill will mandate ‘intelligent’ speed limiters in all cars from 2027.

There is no reason for anyone to be going over 100 miles per hour on a public road.” Source: The Hill

ABBOTT AS THE BORDER BATTLE UNFOLDS Tucker: "If the administration declares that it plans to federalize the National Guard of the state of Texas, your National Guard, what will be your response?" Abbott: "Well, first, I'll be shocked. That would be a boneheaded move on his part, a total disaster. We are prepared if that unlikely event does occur, to make sure that we will be able to continue building these barriers." Tucker: "Can you envision a scenario in which you would put armed state employees on the border instead of the National Guard of Texas?" Abbott: "We do have other armed state employees on the border as we speak right at this minute. I just signed a new law in the state of Texas that will go into effect on March 5th that authorizes any law enforcement officer in the state of Texas to be able to arrest anybody coming across the border illegally." Tucker: "Have you spoken to the President or anyone from the Biden White House about what appears to be an imminent collision?" Abbott: "I have not. To be clear, I have spoken to the President about the border. I met him on the tarmac in El Paso and talked to him directly about what was going on. I handed him a letter that had immediate solutions that he could take that would immediately secure the border without the need for any new law to be passed. Despite the fact that I handed him altogether eight different letters. He has refused to ever respond." Source: 𝕏

OFFICIAL HAMAS STATEMENT: UNRWA ALLEGATIONS "We received with strong condemnation the statement issued by the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Mr. Philippe Lazzarini, in which he announced the agency’s decision to terminate the contracts of a number of UNRWA employees in Gaza based on “Zionist information about the alleged involvement of these employees in the events of October 7th.” Therefore, we in the Hamas movement affirm the following: First: We strongly condemn the termination of employee contracts based on information derived from the Zionist enemy, and the statement confirms that these are allegations without completing all the requirements of a fair and impartial investigation. Second: We strongly condemn the statement’s description of our people’s resistance as terrorism or hateful acts because it is not the agency’s role to announce political positions on the conflict, and the political position that UNRWA must adopt, according to the mandate given to it, is to defend the rights of the refugees it represents, first and foremost. Their right to protection and to resist the occupation by all available means, as well as their right to return to the homes from which they were forcibly displaced. Third: The Palestinians, including refugees, in the Gaza Strip, were subjected to Zionist terrorist attacks that amounted to genocide, according to the assessment of the International Court of Justice, in which more than 150 UNRWA employees were killed. UNRWA headquarters and displacement centers were also exposed, the most recent of which was the industrial center in Khan Yunis, which was designated as a safe haven. Thousands of residents were subjected to Zionist bombing, and despite all this, UNRWA did not issue explicit statements or positions accusing the Zionist enemy of terrorism and hateful attacks. Fourth: The agency’s call for the release of prisoners held by the resistance is an interference in what does not concern it and is not within its authority nor within the mandate granted to it. Moreover, it did not demand at the same time the immediate release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners in enemy prisons, most of whom are refugees, some of whom have been spending decades behind bars. Fifth: It is clear that UNRWA has been subjected to blackmail by countries that support Zionist terrorism under the pretext of continuing financial support, as the Commissioner’s statement makes clear, and this is what we have repeatedly warned against. The refugee issue is not a financial issue but rather an issue of political rights and should not be subject to blackmail by any party. The international community, which created the Palestinian refugee problem, must bear its responsibilities in solving their problem by ensuring their return, and until then, they enjoy protection and a decent life. Sixth: We call on UNRWA to immediately reverse its decision and adhere to the mandate granted to it by the international community, and we adhere to the rights of our people who work in UNRWA and their right to resort to the judiciary - wherever available - to stop the injustice they are being subjected to. Seventh: We call on the agency’s management to immediately return to work in all areas of the Gaza Strip, not to respond to Zionist pressure, and to assume its legal and humanitarian responsibilities towards hundreds of thousands of refugees who are dying due to lack of food, water, and medicine, especially in the northern Gaza Strip. Our heroic people are fighting their glorious battle for freedom and independence. They will move forward on this path despite the great prices and great sacrifices they pay."

🚨 BREAKING: STATEMENT BY HAMAS SPOKESPERSON IZZAT AL-RISHEQ “The Court of Justice’s acceptance of the genocide case brought by South Africa, and the court’s rejection of (Israel’s) request to dismiss it, is an important step on the path to justice for our people, and it means the beginning of the process and procedures for trying (Israel) for its crimes and the possibility of it escaping accountability. It is an important beginning in holding Israel and everyone who supports it accountable for the genocidal crimes they commit against our people. The court’s adoption of the demand to take urgent measures to protect the civilians of our people and to stop all actions that lead to killing and extermination is considered an acknowledgment by the court of the extent of the crime committed by the terrorist occupation in the Gaza Strip. We call for immediate action to oblige the occupation to implement the ruling of the International Court of Justice, to confront any Zionist attempts to evade this entitlement, and to reject any attempts by the American administration, a partner in the crimes of genocide in Gaza, to circumvent the ruling. We look forward to the International Court of Justice continuing its procedures to try the Zionist occupation entity for the full-fledged crime of genocide, which continues against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and whose severity did not stop or diminish even after the start of the trial sessions, but was accompanied by crude Zionist positions. The court is attacked, and American positions continue to wash the hands of the occupation from the blood of innocent children, women, and the elderly.” Source: Hamas Official Website
