An Israeli newspaper owned and published by Donald Trump megadonor Miriam Adelson attacked the president on Friday in open letter about his Iran peace agreement, accusing him of "betraying" Israel and declaring he has "failed." And from where I sit, near Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the people of Israel since the days of the kingdoms of David and Solomon, I say to you: You made a colossal mistake. You failed by signing a surrender agreement with a murderous and cruel terror regime. You severely harmed American interests and the democratic and human values of the enlightened world, and you turned over the hourglass toward the next war, which your successors will have to deal with in the years to come.
The partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's oil passes, was the principal achievement of the Memorandum of Understanding and a key priority for the United States seeking to avoid a global economic crisis. Now after just a few days, the Iranian military says it's closed again, with Iran citing "relentless and continuous" breaches of the ceasefire in Lebanon by Israel which continues to occupy a large chunk of the south of the country.
President Donald Trump is doubling down on his feud with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Trump said the Italian leader "begged" him to take a picture together during this week's Group of Seven summit in France, which prompted Meloni to post a social media video blasting his claim as "completely made up." Now, Trump has hit out at Meloni again, this time in an interview with NBC News' Gabe Gutierrez. "She was a big fan. But I don't want her as a fan because she was not there " along with the NATO group " having to do with the Strait," Trump said later on Friday, referencing the Strait of Hormuz.
A member of a family that runs a California raisin company is facing hate crime charges after he allegedly terrorized his Jewish neighbors in Pacific Palisades. On Wednesday, Bruce Lion, who was arrested over the weekend, was set to be arraigned. But the proceeding was reportedly postponed because the 64-year-old would not come out of his jail cell. Cunin detailed moments when Lion allegedly approached the rabbi's wife and made antisemitic statements: "I hate you, Jews. You killed my lord and savior. Your husband killed my lord and savior." Another instance included allegedly hosing down a congregant's car. This behavior allegedly went on for weeks, with several neighbors calling the police almost daily, according to Cunin.

In another troubling incident that demonstrates how sublimely ludicrous the US has become under Dummkopf Trumpf, his diabolical junta wasted $113,300,000,000 fighting a losing war on behalf of Israel, but is holding up a mere $211,000,000 in grants to help states and programs fund suicide prevention hotlines, respond to global diseases, and treat opioid addiction.

The wood paneling on the new presidential aircraft is the highest quality, President Donald Trump says. The flag on the tail is waving just right. The colors, no longer robin's egg-blue, are a "much better" and "more appropriate look."

Is the number of girls raped in the United Kingdom by grooming gangs definitively documented to be 250,000? No, that's not true: That figure is an extrapolation using an unclear methodology based on data from smaller communities with headline-grabbing scandals and is not an actual count of rape cases across the United Kingdom. A 2022 Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse said, "it is simply not possible to know the scale of child sexual exploitation by networks."
A newspaper owned by a billionaire Republican megadonor has published a blistering opinion piece accusing President Donald Trump of betraying Israel over his deal with Iran to end the war.
