All 20 Surviving Hostages Freed

Plus: Luigi Mangione and the death penalty, LLMs and their gambling addictions, and more...

Good news out of the Middle East: It looks like this ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may actually be holding.

So far, busloads of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners have started being unloaded in Ramallah, in the West Bank, satisfying the terms of the deal that has led Hamas to free all 20 remaining living hostages taken during the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. Hamas is still looking for the dead hostages, and it's unclear what exactly will happen if they can't fully satisfy the terms of the deal, which involves returning the remains of all those whom they've killed.

President Donald Trump addressed Israel's parliament, the Knesset, on Monday morning. This marks "not only the end of a war" but also "the end of the age of terror and death," the president said. He talked about the importance of stabilizing the Middle East, talked up how he believes Iran is ready to make a deal and come to the negotiating table, as well as his own withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. At times, he veered off track, in characteristic Trump fashion (characterizing his special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, as "Henry Kissinger who doesn't leak" and talking about the false promises made by Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama). "He's not the easiest guy to deal with," Trump said of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at one point, "but that's what makes him great." (He also amusingly told Isaac Herzog, Israel's president, to pardon Netanyahu for his bribery charges. Truly the king of digressions.)

"The state of Israel is strong and it will live and thrive forever," Trump said. "I'm proud to be the best friend that Israel has ever had in the White House," added Trump. ("They all say it!" he digressed right after, referring to past American presidents whom he kept routinely dunking on.)

"This city and this nation stand as living proof that a much brighter future for this entire region is truly within our grasp. For thousands of years, Jerusalem has been a home to Christians, Jews, Muslims, and people of all ethnicities and creeds. This is the holy center of the world. Three great Abrahamic faiths—I like that! That's the first time I've seen that word in a while!—adorned with their sacred sites and alive with their pilgrims and visitors from every corner of the globe. But here, between the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, and the hill called Calvary, people of every faith and background live, work, pray, serve, and raise their families side by side, and they do it with love. This example is just one of the modern miracles that Israel has given to the world."

"It has not been [easily won], it has been so tough," concluded Trump. "I love Israel, I'm with you all the way."

There are still open questions, of course, about how this all goes down. So far, the plan has been adhered to. But will Hamas agree to Netanyahu's disarmament terms? That's been a sticking point in past negotiations. And how will Gaza be governed in the future? Will some Israeli forces remain in the Gaza Strip to monitor the situation? These are the main things that must be sorted out, but the fact that so much progress was made over this critical initial 72-hour period—so much that Trump is before the Knesset declaring the war over—is huge for those who've been wishing for peace and stability for the region.

• "Bari Weiss's greatest challenge [with leading CBS News] won't be any of the other things people are pointing out. As Editor-in-Chief, she'll need to support the production of a flagship evening newscast that can compete with 'ABC World News Tonight.' That's something many veteran, professional CBS News journalists haven't been able to do in more than two decades," writes Michael J. Socolow on Substack. "Why does this matter? It matters because these evening newscasts still generate 100s of millions in advertising revenue annually (big pharma loves them). Even back in the 1960s the evening newscasts were profit-centers for the networks—in 1965-1966, for example, Huntely-Brinkley earned $27 million, and the CBS Evening News made $25.5 million, making them the most-lucrative TV shows (the highest-billing) on U.S. TV."

[Fist of Etiquette]

It looks like this ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may actually be holding.

This is going to be a tough one to not give Trump credit for.

[tracerv]

I'm sure they will give it the old college try.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

As in, all the college-educated "journalists" will deny that Trump had anything to do with it? Or craft a narrative that blames Trump for ending hostilities, since that will somehow be bad for Gaza.

[tracerv]

I have no faith in honest journalism, so I'm thinking both. I'm sure they are just waiting for the DNC talking points memo to arrive with marching orders.

[rbike]

"This was all based on Bidens' proposal" is the one I heard being trotted out.

So easy, even a caveman could do it.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Did cave men have auto pens? (Auto cave finger-painters?)

[damikesc]

I cannot fathom a less effective Sec of State than that loser. Even Kerry was slightly more competent. Blinken was a bootlicker, best case.

[Sam Bankman-Fried]

Biden was the best foreign policy president this century…Trump’s second term is on pace to be better than Biden.

[Chumby]

Why didn’t Trump broker this sooner, such as during the Biden regime?

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

It should have been done in January. - Petti

[Fist of Etiquette]

He should have. Then he would have been eligible for this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

[Wizzle Bizzle]

If Trump personally disarmed every nuclear bomb on Earth and replaced all missles with rainbows, he still wouldn't be eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize.

[tracerv]

They would Superman 3 him.

[EISTAU Gree-Vance]

Strategic 4D chess. It woulda been done on day 1, but he wanted the mid term bump, cuz they gotta give it to him next year, right? Selfish fucker.

Somebody’s probably saying this on cnn right now.

[Sam Bankman-Fried]

Netanyahu ran out of military targets. Trump gets credit for placating Qatar after Netanyahu recklessly attacked Hamas in Doha…that was Netanyahu’s last gamble and unfortunately it didn’t pay off. But Trump did what he had to do and figuratively gave Qatar a BJ, nasty style!!!

[Eeyore]

I'm happy for the hostages that get to go home. But...

As soon as the next big check from Tehran to the Hamas leadership clears hostility will commence. Unfortunately for the Palestinians they are just a tool.

[Wizzle Bizzle]

I share your skepticism. What Trump accomplished by not being tied to stupid norms or party politics is impressive, and he deserves all the credit he's getting. But the idea that Islam has suddenly modernized as a result is wishful thinking. Middle East is gonna Middle East.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

You can take the islamic zealot out of the 7th century, but you can't take the 7th century out of the islamic zealot.

[EISTAU Gree-Vance]

I heard they even have pagers now. Haha.

Still working their way up to fax machines, tho.

[Social Justice is neither]

Look, if Hamas didn't attack Israel there would be no need for DJT to have brokered the peace deal so aren't they the real party of peace here?

[MollyGodiva]

It was not that long ago that Trump advocated to depopulated all of Gaza. Trump was an active participant in continuing and ending the war.

[Mother's Lament]

You make up the stupidest lies, and yet expect people to believe you, Tony.

[MollyGodiva]

What did I say that was untrue. Like actually untrue, not MAGA "things are untrue if I don't like them."

[InsaneTrollLogic (smarter than The Average Dude)]

You have a link and citation for this assertion?

[Chumby]

[InsaneTrollLogic (smarter than The Average Dude)]

Do you get paid by the amount of stupidity you can cram into a single comment?

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

[damikesc]

You're just mad the Jews had the gall to not die.

[DesigNate]

If advocating some scenario makes you an active participant, I’ve got bad news for you, Doc.

[SRG2]

I do give Trump credit for it, if the ceasefire holds and if we can confirm that his intervention was indeed material.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

So you wont give him credit. Despite both sides admitting it.

[SCOTUS gave JeffSarc a big sad]

More proof of Guv’nah Shrike’s extreme leftism.

[SRG2]

No, fuckwit.

First, let's consider the opposite position. Trump should get a Nobel prize even if there's no lasting peace. Clearly a stupid position, hence one I can assume you hold. You don't win just for effort.

OR, Trump should get a Nobel prize even if his contribution was minor. Clearly another stupid position, hence one I can assume you also hold,

As for being a leftist, like many cultist cunts you adhere to the following script:

Me: I'm in favour of generally free markets - some light regulation, though, generally free trade, private enterprise and ownership, etc.
Cultist: what do you think of Trump?
Me: He's an incompetent authoritarian lying crooked POS.
Cultist: SOCIALIST!!

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

Full retard achieved to rationalize being an ignorant leftist. Good work buddy.

[Sam Bankman-Fried]

JizzeAzz…Netanyahu ran out of military targets, it’s that simple. Trump did get pissed at Netanyahu for attacking Hamas in Doha but I still think that was Netanyahu’s final operation. Qatar is arguably our most important ally and so Trump placating them so quickly is the only great diplomacy in this situation.

[SCOTUS gave JeffSarc a big sad]

“……and if we can confirm that his intervention was indeed material”

He put the whole fucking deal together. This layer out in real time over the last several months. But you’re such a desperate Marxist that you can only lie.

[SRG2]

He put the whole fucking deal together.

We don't know that. We only know what we've been told, and we also know that Trump claims accomplishments he never had - as proven with other alleged peace deals he engineered. We also know that foreign politicians can manipulate him through flattery. It is prudent to wait until we can be sure.

Because Dear Leader lies so much and takes so much credit for shit he didn't do, and because it's in the interests of the Israelis and Hamas to stroke Trump (and avoid the accusations that might fly if there werre more direct negotiations) any reasonable person will wait before crediting him. And if he deserves credit, then credit I will give him.

But cultists like yourself, being voluntarily stupid, don't understand that, =just as you don't understand political theory.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

Lol. The seething and coping is delicious.

Sorry maddow has you convinced instead of listening to everyone actually involved.

[Fist of Etiquette]

This marks "not only the end of a war" but also "the end of the age of terror and death," the president said.

He probably actually believes that. Our first real Pollyanna president.

[mad.casual]

Trump declares end of age of death.

Canadian MAID workers sue.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Don't worry. I am sure somehow even a permanent peace in the Middle East can be bad for sensitive Canadian leftists. And their despair still can be cured with government suicide.

[SCOTUS gave JeffSarc a big sad]

Government assisted suicide should be compulsory for socialist/marxists. With the process being fast tracked. Canada also needs to have a program where our government covers the cost to export our undesirables (JeffSarc, Shrike, JewFree, Tony, SQRLSY, KAR, etc.) for participation in their euthanasia program.

I would gladly chip in a few extra bucks to make that happen. Hell, I’ll even volunteer to drive the transport bus for free.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I'm proud to be the best friend that Israel has ever had in the White House...

One of the few boasts he's made that is hard to dispute.

[JohnZ]

One they have Trump by the balls, he'll say anything.

[SCOTUS gave JeffSarc a big sad]

Why dm t you take that shit back to Stormfront? No one here is interested in your Misek level Jew hating.

[Wizzle Bizzle]

It's a fact. And it should disqualify all of the people who labeled him an antisemite from ever being taken seriously about anything.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Uh, accountability and consequences are racist, you bigot.

[Wizzle Bizzle]

Just wait till you find out how punctual I am.

[Quo Usque Tandem]

But it was a sad day for protesters, who now find themselves adrift in an equity tossed sea of intersectionality.

[InsaneTrollLogic (smarter than The Average Dude)]

They lost back on October 7, 2023 when they pulled their bullshit.

[JesseAz (RIP CK)]

They lost when they voted in hamas who stole all their aid and destroyed their infrastructure to build rockets.

If she covers up that sour face I think we all owe Islam our gratitude.

Since she really put on the freshman 15, she can play Miss Piggy in a live action adaption of The Muppets.

They still can protest ICE, orangemannotnice, melting polar ice, on behalf of a black man who overdosed on a vice, wanting tranny groomer sex offender to have access to 8-year old Bryce, and tariffs causing ripples to the cost of imported rice.

Seems illegal (and also unwise, given that Trump will be in his 80s):

I think there are many different alternatives we’ll roll out after the midterms to make sure President Trump is on the ballot in 2028.

You're assuming "on the ballot" specifically refers to a presidential candidacy. But this more likely means he'll run for the Senate (or something else) to pull his supporters to the polls where they will also vote for the Rep presidential candidate.

[InsaneTrollLogic (smarter than The Average Dude)]

Exactly. There is nothing preventing a President from running for another office after his terms are done. John Quincy Adams is a famous case. He was a Representative for years after he lost his bid for a second term.

[InsaneTrollLogic (smarter than The Average Dude)]

Thinking on that, it would be hilarious if he ran for his House District in Florida, won, and then became Speaker. Democrat heads would explode.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Or do the Taft thing and get on the Supreme Court.

[InsaneTrollLogic (smarter than The Average Dude)]

That would really make Democrat heads go boom. Might even cause an earthquake with that.

There's no ballot for that, but President Vance should float that trial balloon during his first SC appointment. Troll Factor: Ultimate.

The judge found “that the totality of events” surrounding the bringing of the Abrego indictment “creates a sufficient evidentiary basis to conclude that there is a ‘realistic likelihood of vindictiveness,’” entitling him to discovery and an evidentiary hearing before his motion is decided..."

Three great Abrahamic faiths—I like that!

Baruch Spinoza had a far more intelligent take on that in Tractatus Theologico-Politicus than a resident cheerleader!!! singing Kumbaya without singing Kumbaya.

There is no metaphysical revelation in the Abrahamic legacy. Everything about that election/'chosenness' is for worldly prosperity and political organization. The text is the constitution for either a theocracy (rule by God directly - the Abraham legacy) or a hierocratic (rule by priests - the Mosaic legacy) monarchy. God as the lawgiver and sovereign (which is unique to monotheism). Adhering to THAT is what brings political unity and stability. But that is literally NOT the basis for a religion itself. Post-temple Judaism itself understands that as the rabbinic tradition uses that text as the jumping off point for an oral tradition (which culminates in the Talmud). Not as some literalist fundamentalist text to be interpreted by any chimp who can read words but not understand them.

It wasn't even the origin of nationalism or tribalism. But Christian nationalists/tribalists 'took over' that tribalism. To become God's new favorite - via belief in Jesus and coopting prophecy - and in so doing rationalized anti-semitism. IDK what Islam actually believes - nor does Lupa Duranty here - but they are certainly tribal as hell and believe in theocracy and hierocracy. NO ONE has EVER argued for 'Abrahamic faiths' as anything that unifies. It is a reason for sectarian war. We are blessed. They are cursed. We are the chosen. They are not. Our destiny is sacred. Theirs is disposable.

Spinoza ends up in a far more intelligent (and libertarian) place. Where no religious institution has the right to impose itself on thought/speech/reason - or to claim authority over civil society/life.

According to reports via Israeli outlet Ynet, the violence erupted when Hamas militants raided the neighborhood of Sabra in Gaza City, home to a clan called Doghmush, also known as the Al Doghmush family militia.

The report said the Hamas Interior Ministry had accused a militia of attacking its forces, while members of the Doghmush clan said Hamas had exploited the ceasefire to target them over alleged cooperation with Israel.

"Children are screaming and dying, they are burning our houses," a relative of the clan told Ynet.

"We are trapped. I don’t know how they entered with all kinds of weapons. Where were they when the Jews were here? They arrested all the youths, lined them up against walls, pointed weapons at their heads. There is a massacre here," another member said.

In total, Ynet reported 52 members of the Doghmush clan were killed and 12 Hamas militants were killed.

Bari Weiss at CBS News isn’t a win for queer journalists

Bari Weiss’s appointment as editor-in-chief of CBS News is being heralded by some as a watershed moment for LGBTQ+ media representation. She is the first openly gay person to lead the iconic network, and her visibility in such a prominent role, at least on paper, marks real progress.

But I’m not applauding.

As an openly gay working journalist who covers LGBTQ+ issues, I’m not encouraged by this promotion. I speak with sources on a daily basis including transgender student organizers, queer civil rights leaders and LGBTQ+ academics. A consistent message emerges from those conversations: representation alone isn’t enough.

When a member of a marginalized community breaks barriers while also using their platform to cause injury to other community members, that’s not progress. In this case, Weiss’ identity as a lesbian doesn’t negate the harm she has done by amplifying voices hostile to trans people, giving oxygen to transphobic rhetoric and framing bigotry as reasoned dissent. In fact, it makes that damage more insidious.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Hamas Oct 7 memo shows meticulous plan to ‘end the children of Israel’

An Oct 7 memo written by the Hamas leader in Gaza instructed members to burn down entire neighbourhoods, stamp on soldiers’ heads and broadcast the attack to the world.

It was followed up with orders from Hamas commanders to “kill everyone you encounter” and “end the children of Israel”.

The six-page memo, found in a bunker by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), was written in Arabic by Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader killed in Gaza in October last year.

Details were revealed in documents and intercepts discovered in Gaza and verified by the New York Times. They provide evidence that Hamas deliberately targeted civilians, contrary to their own claims throughout the two-year war with Israel.

It also shows how carefully planned the attack was, despite some asserting it was spontaneous.

It called for the fence separating Israel from Gaza to be bulldozed, and for combatants to “stomp on the heads of soldiers” as well as “opening fire on soldiers at point-blank range, slaughtering some of them with knives, blowing up tanks”.

“It needs to be affirmed to the unit commanders to undertake these actions intentionally, film them and broadcast images of them as fast as possible,” it stated.

“Two or three operations, in which an entire neighbourhood, kibbutz, or something similar will be burned, must be prepared,” the memo said.

Before the attack, a Hamas commander from Gaza City, known as Abu al-Baraa, told operatives near Kibbutz Sa’ad: “Document the scenes of horror, now, and broadcast them on TV channels to the whole world. Slaughter them. End the children of Israel.”

“Burn, burn. I want the whole kibbutz to be in flames,” a commander from a Gaza City battalion known as Abu Muhammed told subordinates around 10am on Oct 7 2023.

Another commander, Abu al-Abed, from the northern Gaza city of Jabaliya, said: “Set fire to anything.”

“Slit their throats. Slit them as you are trained,” a Hamas commander from a northern Gaza battalion told his men, according to an Israeli interception.

Another Hamas commander from a Jabaliya battalion, referred to as Abu Muath, told his fighters: “Kill everyone on the road. Kill everyone you encounter.”

“Guys, take a lot of hostages. Take a lot of hostages… It is essential that you bring the drone in so it films for the entire Islamic world,” he said.

[Dillinger]

>>Kill everyone you encounter.”

>>“Guys, take a lot of hostages. Take a lot of hostages

British billionaire cuts off funding to left-wing groups after watchdog exposes $553M operation

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/british-billionaire-cuts-off-funding-to-left-wing-groups-after-watchdog-exposes-553m-operation/ar-AA1OhEIW

Christopher Hohn, a British billionaire and hedge fund manager, is cutting off funding to left-wing groups and causes after a report by Americans for Public Trust (APT).

APT said in its report that the groups that received funding from the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), which lists Hohn as its founder and chair of board, "pushed for nothing less than the complete radicalization of the U.S. political landscape."

"Unfortunately, we are no longer confident in our understanding of the US policy environment for foreign funders of US NGOs, including for international work, which is our focus," CIFF wrote. "Consequently, CIFF’s Board have decided that, as a precautionary measure, and until applicable laws and rules, and the execution of them, are made clearer by relevant authorities, CIFF should redirect its funding to, and restructure its contracts to be with, non-US NGOs."

It's a fine joke and annoys Democrats, but there's no rational way it can happen, nor should it.

[Gaear Grimsrud]

Trump will not run for president. It would require a constitutional amendment and that simply will not happen. But as others have noted he can absolutely run for any other office and even in his 80s he would not be particularly old compared to current office holders and SCOTUS. I personally would recommend he just enjoy retirement. But he's 5 years older than me and he can accomplish more in a day than I could in a week. Only a fool underestimates this guy.

[Dillinger]

I'd make him my running mate just for the troll.

[sarcasmic]

I don't know if he'll run or not, but he will more than likely declare himself to be the winner, like he has in the last three elections.

Someone with less maturity than Sevo.

Remember sarc still makes "I fucked your mother" comments. Self awareness has never been a strong suit for him, that's why he's incapable of applying to himself any standard he judges others by.

So maybe less maturity than Sevo, but still more than sarc.

[sarcasmic]

As a matter of fact I have not made such a comment since you whined and cried about it incessantly for days, like a thin-skinned grade-schooler who was found crying in the playground after the other kids came back inside from recess. Looks like you're still sobbing.

EHS is no different than middle-school girls who ruthlessly attack the unpopular kids until they did self harm, and then go and brag to all their demented friends about it. A truly sick fuck. In other words, someone you greatly admire. Or you wouldn't be going out of your way to defend him for telling people to kill themselves.

[InsaneTrollLogic (smarter than The Average Dude)]

So, uh, fuck those people, right, Sarc?

[Marshal]

since you whined and cried about it incessantly for days, like a thin-skinned grade-schooler who was found crying in the playground after the other kids came back inside from recess. Looks like you're still sobbing.

Things that never happened for $200.

But note the DARVO: sarc isn't to blame for his comments, other people are to blame for remembering them. This is how they think. No standard ever applies to them, they always find a way to blame it on others.

It's easy to see why CPS took his kids. They were constantly letting sarc down.

[sarcasmic]

Things that never happened for $200.

Oh, it happened alright. For a good week or two you'd leave a turd on most of my comments bitching about it.

sarc isn't to blame for his comments, other people are to blame for remembering them

Really? That's a new one. Or is this you moving the goalposts after being outed as a liar for saying I still make such comments? Yeah, that's what it is.

This is how they think.

What color am I thinking of?

No standard ever applies to them, they always find a way to blame it on others.

Riiiiiiight. Says the guy who is defending someone for telling people to kill themselves. I bet you'd be happy if someone did take EHS's advice. A rare smile would break that resting bitch-face of yours at the thought of someone who disagrees with you politically dying by their own hand. Yes, that would make you happy.

It's easy to see why CPS took his kids.

You've been listening to my hate club again. But that's to be expected from someone who cheers when people they hate kill themselves. People being mean to people you hate makes you happy.

Defending someone for telling people to kill themselves does not put you on the high ground. Quite the opposite. It's clear as day to anyone who is not in my hate club.

[Marshal]

It's interesting how little of what sarc believes happened actually did happen. But if you've created a fantasy about how the world works it seems trivial by comparison to invent fantasies to justify your hatreds.

Bannon is two-thirds of CS Lewis' theory on Jesus.

[Mother's Lament]

For the Sarc-tier educated:

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept his claim to be God.

That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg—or else he would be the Devil of Hell.

You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.

You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

... Now it seems to me obvious that He was neither a lunatic nor a fiend: and consequently, however strange or terrifying or unlikely it may seem, I have to accept the view that He was and is God."

Poor Bannon.

[Zeb]

I like Lewis a lot, but I think he leaves out one important possibility in his analysis there: that Jesus as portrayed in the NT was a mostly fictional character. It's also possible for a madman who thinks he's the son of God to have some worthwhile things to say, aside from the claims of divinity and fulfilling prophecies and all that.

[Stcrispy]

HAMAS has been executing "collaborators" in the street since the deal was made. As people return to Gaza city, they're asserting control - coming out of the tunnels to let everyone know they're in control.

The 20 or so living Israeli hostages were traded for close to 2000 convicted (as in through an adversarial court process) Palestinian terrorists, many of who whom raped and murdered civilians on Oct 7th.

If you think that any peace will come from that, well, a lot of history needs to be ignored to get there.

I predict that HAMAS will regroup, keep their arms, and their tunnels, rebuild the supply of rockets, and begin intentionally killing Israeli civilians and taking another group of hostages as soon as it looks like they can pull it off.
