Israeli security forces rescued four hostages from Gaza on Saturday morning who had been held hostage for eight months, Israel Defense Forces said. The hostages had been kidnapped from a music festival in Israel during the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.
The rescued hostages were found in good medical condition, Israel said. Among the hostages rescued from central Nuseirat was Noa Argamani, whose kidnapping was captured on camera and shared widely online. A ten-second clip of the kidnapping showed Argamani screaming as she was taken away on the back of a motorcycle.

RedState has written about former President Donald Trump's sudden fundraising success, which has taken off following his conviction in the Manhattan trial. On Thursday, an MSNBC panel speculated about it, talking in part about it happening in Silicon Valley. The panel pointed out the early post-verdict fundraising numbers, including a major donation almost immediately on the heels of the conviction. But what's really great about the MSNBC speculation is the claim that President Biden was "too quiet for too long." That's rich, when one considers the recent history of President Biden saying, well, anything.
As the panel revealed, the former president had a roster

As Israel's political world waits to see the outcome of one ultimatum, their enemy faces another -- reportedly. With Israel offering grudging support for an operational pause to swap hostages for prisoners based on the latest US formula, Hamas has taken a week or so to offer a firm response. Yesterday, as John noted, Yahya Sinwar appeared to signal rejection over a refusal by Israel to end the war first and leave Hamas in control of Gaza.
Today, Qatar decided to up the stakes by issuing an ultimatum of its own. Well, not entirely of its own:
Qatar has given Hamas an ultimatum to accept the ceasefire deal proposed by

Wilmington, Del. – Federal prosecutors on Friday rested their case against Hunter Biden after testimony from Biden’s exes, government experts, and others involved with the purchase and recovery of the gun which the first son allegedly lied to obtain.
Special counsel David Weiss’s prosecutors, Derek Hines and Leo Wise, are pursuing three criminal gun charges against Hunter for allegedly lying about his addiction to crack cocaine on a gun-purchase background-check form and allegedly possessing the gun while addicted to drugs. Hunter faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
An FBI chemist with 20 years of experience testified for the prosecution on Friday

CNN is reporting an Israeli strike on a Hamas headquarters inside a United National Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) school compound in Gaza as an “Israel strike on UN school that left dozens dead.”
The main focus of the CNN story is the claim that American munitions were used in the strike, from which CNN evidently wishes readers to conclude that the United States shares moral culpability in an Israeli atrocity. However, the airstrike, as described by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), was actually a targeted attack on a building that had been used as a base by Hamas terrorists, who likely accounted for most of the “dozens”

Former President Trump suggested Tuesday that it was “very possible” Democrats could face prosecution down the road following his own historic conviction in the New York criminal hush money trial.
Trump, in an interview with Newsmax, floated the idea that his prosecution could open the door to political opponents being targeted, echoing comments he has made ever since he was charged with dozens of criminal counts across multiple jurisdictions. “Does that mean the next president does it to them? That’s really the question,” Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for November, said in the interview, highlighted by Mediaite.
“And wouldn’t it be really bad like, as an example, Hillary

The Department of Justice has indicted Dr. Eithan Haim, a little-known surgeon who exposed Texas Children’s Hospital for secretly conducting transgender surgeries and treatments on minors, on four felony counts related to his alleged violation of a medical-records law.
Last year, Haim anonymously leaked evidence of the child sex-change procedures to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo. The documents revealed that Texas Children’s Hospital had continued running its transgender program, despite announcing that the program had been discontinued in accordance with Governor Greg Abbott’s 2022 directive equating such medical interventions with child abuse.

Yowza. It was amazing to watch the fourth test flight of SpaceX's Starship. If you didn't catch it live, don't worry. You will see these images countless times over the coming hours and days. The launch was nothing short of stunning, in some ways rivaling the launch of a Saturn V launch vehicle and in other ways far more impressive.
Of course, the craft doesn't carry men to the moon--yet, at least--and it is only in its test phase, so at this stage the emotional charge is hardly comparable.
That may change, though, if Starship fulfills its intended mission, which is to bring men to the moon from orbit

A federal judge on Thursday ordered Steve Bannon to begin serving his prison sentence by July 1. The former Trump adviser will serve a four-month stint in prison for defying January 6 Committee subpoenas.
Bannon was found guilty on two counts of contempt in July 2022 and sentenced in October of that year, but his sentencing had been delayed while he appealed the ruling. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rejected the appeal in May.
Judge Carl J. Nichols sided with federal prosecutors on Thursday who had argued that, because his appeal had been rejected, there was no longer any basis for the sentencing hold.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Months after Disney and Gov. Ron DeSantis’ appointees agreed to end a protracted legal fight, the two sides are set to approve an agreement that could result in the company investing up to $17 billion into its Florida resort and opens the door to a fifth major theme park at Walt Disney World.
The five DeSantis-appointed supervisors who oversee the Disney World district voted Wednesday to give initial approval to a new development agreement that both sides had agreed to negotiate after a March settlement ended their state court lawsuits against each other.
A second vote was required for final approval, and that was set for next week.

An overwhelming majority of registered voters say the Manhattan jury’s verdict — finding former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts in his business records trial — has not changed their voting intention, the latest weekly survey from the Economist/YouGov found.
The survey asked respondents if Trump’s conviction in the business records trial “caused you to reconsider your vote in the 2024 presidential election.”
A supermajority, 92 percent of registered voters, said, “No, it has not” caused them to reconsider their vote. Only eight percent said it has caused them to reconsider.
