Rom Braslavski is a former Israeli hostage held in Gaza. He was working as a security guard at the Nova music festival during the October 7 massacre as an active-duty soldier on leave from the Logistics Corps. In captivity he was tortured and assaulted. In the video below he is informed by an Israeli security official that his chief tormentor in captivity — a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad — has been sent to his allotted virgins in the sky. (X) The Times of Israel reports the story here, the Jerusalem Post here. The Post story adds: “The military also said that Abd al-Aal commanded
Las Vegas cops busted a transgender gunman who allegedly planned a casino massacre using a huge cache of weapons.
Allison Howlett, 36, who was born a man but lives as a woman, was arrested Saturday on charges of making terroristic threats, assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft, gun theft and other offenses.
The wild story unfolded shortly after 9:30 a.m. Saturday when Howlett’s former spouse, who is female, called police to report Howlett had stolen her car and the vehicle held numerous firearms, Henderson Police Chief Reggie Rader said. The former spouse said Howlett intended to commit “suicide by cop” or carry out a mass shooting, Radar said.
An active-duty Air Force officer was arrested on the steps of the US Capitol on Wednesday while protesting Trump and calling for his impeachment in uniform.
Jason Watson, a US Air Force Major who attended the US Air Force Academy, participated in a press conference sponsored by far-left lunatic Rep. Al Green (D-TX), where he called for his boss, the commander in chief, to be removed and convicted.
According to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Watson could face court-martial proceedings for contempt toward officials stemming from his participation in the event and his calls for Trump’s impeachment.
Idaho has decided the death penalty shouldn't depend on a drug company, a missing vein, or a supply chain nobody wants to talk about.
As of Wednesday, the state has now made the firing squad its primary method of execution. Lethal injection remains available as a backup, but Idaho has moved the rifle ahead of the needle because the old system has become slow, fragile, and legally tangled. From Newsmax:
The state spent more than $1 million on the project, including rifles for volunteer marksmen.
The move comes as states continue searching for alternatives after repeated problems with lethal injection and recent legal challenges involving nitrogen gas executions.

'Russia hoax' sues Trump admin for 'vindictive prosecution' replies
Former Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan is suing the Trump administration and demanding a court order to require officials to preserve records of the criminal investigations against him. Brennan served as CIA director under former President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017. In a court filing reviewed by Fox News Digital, Brennan asks the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to issue preliminary injunctive relief to "protect his constitutional rights as the current target of two federal investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice."
Attorneys for Brennan assert that the DOJ has launched its investigations "at the direct urging of President Trump" and that the investigations amount to
Do you remember 1976, fellow old folks? I do. Ι was fourteen years old, and living in Washington, D.C., and spent the summer exploring the Air and Space museum and other attractions of the nation’s capital, as well as the big bicentennial celebrations on the National Mall, where every state had a booth showing off the marvels that, each claimed, were best enjoyed within its own peerless and paradisal confines. The one I remember most was Mississippi’s, which was offering samples of fried catfish — not, indeed, a delicacy with which most Beltway denizens had any familiarity.

Lawmakers: Meet Hegseth’s New Picks
For Top Pentagon Board replies
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has selected a new team to help shape policy for the Pentagon.
The Department of War’s (DOW) new Defense Policy Board roster will be composed of former government officials, Silicon Valley investors, nuclear deterrence specialists, former lawmakers, economic security officials and conservative policy figures. Hegseth is adding the fresh appointees to the board as the Trump administration institutes sweeping reforms to the Pentagon and pivots towards the artificial intelligence (AI) arms race with China.
The DOW board will be chaired by Robert Lighthizer, who was President Donald Trump’s U.S. trade representative during his first term, from 2017 to 2021. “Established in 1985, the Defense Policy Board is
As I watched Wednesday night’s FIFA World Cup game between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina, I thought to myself, this is why so many Americans don’t love soccer. Disallowed goals, overly dramatic performances following minor injuries — and a bullshot red card that threatened to pull victory from the hands of the Americans.
By the end, though, I was a believer as the team pulled together and thrashed out an epic 2-0 victory, despite being a man down for over 36 minutes. (X) The red card is so devastating because not only does it result in the penalized player being kicked out, but

Illegal Who Sexually Assaulted a 10-Year-Old Girl replies
As we've written before, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) simply cannot stop himself from putting his foot in his mouth, something we saw most recently with his reaction to the Supreme Court ruling on Tuesday that "we hold that the States may maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females."
RedState reported on Walz's predictable reaction, which was to tweet that "As the Supreme Court says states can be cruel to trans kids, my message is clear: Here in Minnesota, we stand with and value our trans neighbors and youth."
A number of Minnesota Republicans blasted back, including state Senator Julia Coleman (Carver County), who wrote in part, " What’s cruel
The United States Justice Department sued California on Wednesday to halt a newly enacted law banning retail sales of Glock and Glock-style handguns, the most popular pistols sold in the state, and simultaneously challenged a decades-old list that severely restricts which handguns may be legally purchased there. The 17-page complaint, filed in federal district court in Los Angeles, argues that both restrictions violate the Second Amendment. The lawsuit escalates a months-long standoff between the Trump administration and California’s Democratic leadership. “The Second Amendment is a sacred right belonging to all Americans, even those in California,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.
Something is brewing inside the Democrat Party, and this time, Donald Trump has nothing to do with it. Behind closed doors, the establishment wing of the party is squaring off against a coup led by self-declared socialists, and the fight over who controls the party's future is only getting started.
Fox News host Jesse Watters laid out exactly how this ends on The Five, and it should terrify anyone still clinging to the idea that the Democrat Party can hold itself together heading into the next presidential race.
Asked by co-host Emily Compagno whether the country is actually being taken over, Watters didn't offer easy reassurance.

Two people climbed to the very top of the Empire State Building in New York City on Wednesday. The individuals were later taken into custody and charges are pending.
The couple later revealed themselves as Russian free climbers Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau, who were featured in the 2024 Netflix documentary "Skywalkers: A love story." (snip) After police responded, the pair appeared to take the banner down and climb down from the antenna to a lower platform. Then, one of them appeared to remove an engagement ring from a backpack, get down on one knee, and propose, according to Fox News.
The United States advanced Wednesday night to the World Cup round of 16 with a 2-0 shutout of Bosnia and Herzegovina, overcoming a red card penalty that will keep one of its stars out of the next game.
The win was just the second-ever in the World Cup knockout round for the U.S men's team.
Folarin Balogun scored a goal before halftime that gave the U.S. a 1-0 lead. But he got ejected with a second half red card.
Malik Tillman then scored on a free kick to give the undermanned America team a lead that would hold.
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he plans to help build a third political party, claiming the country’s leaders have stopped focusing on the needs of ordinary Americans.
Speaking with the Columbia Journalism Review, Carlson said he believes there should be a “good-faith effort” to create a political movement centered on improving life for Americans rather than fighting over foreign conflicts.
“I’m going to help build a third party. There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country,” Carlson said. “I mean, if you make $60,000 a year, you’re degraded. Your life expectancy has gone down, and the promise of your children’s lives is
Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb, the Democrat nominee for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District, denounced the Declaration of Independence, capitalism, billionaires, and what he called “American exceptionalism.”
Rabb made the remarks during the “America at 250 — Trump Fascism, Historical Erasure, and the Battle Over Truth” panel, held June 26 at People’s Plaza on Independence Mall in Philadelphia. Rabb is running unopposed in Pennsylvania’s heavily Democrat 3rd Congressional District and is widely expected to win election to Congress in November.
During the discussion, Rabb argued that the Declaration of Independence did not deliver freedom to everyone and instead helped preserve the power of a privileged class.
A year-long wiretap investigation into a series of overdose deaths in Volusia County led to 50 arrest warrants for individuals involved in violent crimes and drug dealing, the sheriff's office said. A multi-agency task force executed "Operation Holy Rollers" early Tuesday morning, targeting members of a violent local gang known as the "Cut Throat Murderers." Law enforcement arrived at a church in Holly Hill on June 30 after several deaths were linked to drugs coming out of that property, officials said.

A Wisconsin transgender activist has released a run of videos telling people to “kill your local Republican” and vowing a “trans jihad” against MAGA.
Conservative commentator Dustin Grage posted the footage to X on July 1. In one clip, Teha Delaruelle speaks against a background displaying the words “Kill Your Local Republican,” then points to the message. “We’re going to make this the moderate position for the state of Wisconsin,” Delaruelle says, giving followers a one-month window to act.
Well, it looks as if Kamala Harris is indeed planning to run for president in 2028, and that she is counting on the Democrat Party’s rapidly growing Marxist wing to propel her into the White House. Yes, it could mean the end of the United States as a free nation, particularly given the Biden regime’s taste for authoritarianism (hounding the social media giants to silence COVID dissidents, trying to establish a Disinformation Governance Board, treating pro-lifers as if they were terrorists, etc.). About that, Harris has never shown any concern, and now she seems more focused on the pursuit of raw power
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) told the parents of children murdered by illegal immigrants that Congress has other things to do.
“Unfortunately, this hearing is the fourth time in this committee that we’ve had a hearing on sanctuary cities, the fourth time … There’s many other things that we could be doing other than this,” Jayapal said during a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity and Security hearing on Tuesday. During the hearing, Jessica Gorman, mother of Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old Loyola University student who was fatally shot by an illegal immigrant, criticized Democratic members of Congress, saying, “I don’t understand why it’s only the Republican side that cares about our American
Amy Coney Barrett was supposed to be the payoff for conservatives. She was our gal, right? The “ghost” of Justice Scalia, haunting the hallowed halls of the Supreme Court as a brilliant originalist, a serious Catholic jurist, a mother of seven, and a Trump appointee who’d help lock down a 6-3 conservative Court and finally stop the left from using judges as a weapon. That was the sales pitch.But that’s not what happened. Now, years later, a whole slew of America First voters are wondering what the hell happened. What exactly did we get with ABC, besides a “yes woman” for Justice John Roberts?
The psycho governor of Minnesota has called for more Somali pirates in Minnesota; 100,000 Somalis have settled in Minnesota over the past few years alone. Now, he is calling for all transgender (transvestites) people to go to Minnesota to play in women’s sports. This is his response to today’s Supreme Court decision which supports state bans on biological men playing in women’s sports.
Minnesota is for Somalis and transgenders. That’s perfectly normal. He doesn’t care at all about girls and women who can’t compete against biological men. Walz only cares about biological men who think they are females or pretend they are females.

Western Europe has been sweltering under a heat wave, and quite a few people have died as a result. The heat wave is unusual, but the phenomenon isn’t: every year, lots of Europeans die from extremes of heat and cold, far more than in the United States. And European climate deaths vastly exceed deaths in the U.S. from gun homicides, which many Europeans like to decry.
A sane response to death and discomfort due to heat would be to promote air conditioning. But that isn’t what is happening in the U.K., where air conditioning is often illegal, or in France, where calls for more air conditioning are being resisted
