Trump Claims Israel Is Complying With Gaza Deal ‘100%’ Despite Constant IDF Ceasefire Violations

During a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida on Monday, President Trump claimed Israel was holding up its end of the Gaza ceasefire deal “100%” despite constant IDF attacks on Palestinians in the Strip and other Israeli violations.

Since the deal went into effect on October 10, the Israeli military has killed at least 414 Palestinians in Gaza, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The IDF has continued demolitions and has expanded the so-called “yellow line,” the vague boundary that separates the IDF-occupied side of Gaza and the Hamas-controlled side. Israel has also maintained restrictions on aid and shelter materials entering Gaza.

When asked by a reporter at Mar-a-Lago if he was concerned that Israel wasn’t moving quickly enough into “phase two” of the plan, Trump said he was “not concerned about anything Israel is doing” and that Israel has “lived up to the plan 100%.”

Trump also appeared to issue an ultimatum to Hamas during the press conference, saying that if the group doesn’t disarm within a certain amount of time, there will be “hell to pay” and that it will be “horrible for them.”

The president said that Hamas has already agreed to disarm, but the group has been consistent in its position that it won’t give up its weapons unless a Palestinian state is established, or if progress is made in that direction. Trump’s 20-point peace plan said that Gaza would be “demilitarized,” but Hamas only agreed to use the plan as a basis for negotiations.

So far, the only deal Israel and Hamas have signed outlined a ceasefire and the exchange of Israeli captives and Palestinians held in Israeli jails. “Our people are defending themselves and will not give up their weapons as long as the occupation remains,” the new spokesman for Hamas’s armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said on Monday.

Trump also claimed during the press conference that the US and Israel are helping the “people of Gaza” even though both countries are not allowing reconstruction to take place, as civilians are living in flimsy tents and the rubble of bombed-out buildings amid harsh winter storms. In recent weeks, at least 20 people in Gaza have died due to the weather.

Biden Housing Scandal EXPLODES: HUD Report Reveals Over $5 Billion in Questionable Rental Aid, Including Payments to Dead People and Non-Citizens

A bombshell federal report has blown the lid off yet another massive Biden-era taxpayer scandal — this time inside the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

According to HUD’s own Fiscal Year 2025 Agency Financial Report, more than $5 billion in rental assistance payments during the final year of the Biden regime were flagged as “questionable” or improper, exposing systemic failures, nonexistent oversight, and breathtaking incompetence at the federal level.

Among the most jaw-dropping revelations: tens of thousands of payments were made to people who were already DEAD, and thousands more went to recipients who may not have even been eligible to receive taxpayer-funded housing assistance at all, the New York Post first reported.

Buried in the HUD report is a stunning admission that federal systems failed to stop payments to 30,054 deceased individuals who were either still listed as active tenants or continued receiving rental assistance after their deaths.

HUD officials acknowledged that only after cross-checking Treasury databases did they finally identify the scope of the problem — meaning for years, taxpayers were unknowingly footing the bill for people who no longer exist.

“[Over] 30,000 dead people receiving housing isn’t an accident — it was systematic fraud by Biden and the left. HUD will hold those who defrauded the American taxpayers accountable,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner wrote on X.

Germany Facing ‘Demographic Time Bomb’ From Syrian Chain Migration, Expert Warns

A leading immigration expert has warned that Germany is facing a “demographic time bomb” if it allows the massive influx of alleged refugees from Syria to become citizens as they will be enabled to bring their family members to the country.

A Dutch social scientist who is described as the top migration expert in Germany, Ruud Koopmans, has warned of the massive implications for the makeup of German society that chain migration represents. He argued that the government should consider whether it is the interest of the country to grant citizenship to the near million supposed refugees from Syria.

Speaking to Cicero magazine, Koopmans said that while there has been positive steps made, such as scrapping the so-called “turbo naturalization” of allowing migrants to apply for citizenship after just three years, the standard five-year process remains in place and can still “be considered a demographic time bomb in the long run.”

“We have almost one million Syrian refugees in Germany. It is necessary to think about the consequences of this for the future. This one million people has a great overrepresentation of men. They will look for their partners mostly in the country of origin. This is extremely likely because in these countries, marriages usually take place within large families. In these societies, marriage is also an economic business between families, and the ticket to Europe is an important means of exchange,” the Dutch social scientist said.

Disgraced Former Prince Andrew Causing Fresh Outrage as He’s Spotted With His New, Free Land Rover 4×4

The never-ending royal perks.

Even after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lost all his royal titles and patronages, he still very far from a simple commoner.

In the last few days, the disgraced former Prince, former Duke of York has been pictured driving his brand new $100,000 Land Rover Defender – and outrage is building since it was likely given to him for free as a royal benefit.

Daily Mail reported:

“The former Duke of York, 65, took delivery of the new luxury 4×4 just before his last Christmas at Royal Lodge in Windsor.

Andrew looked furtive behind the wheel of the top-of-the-range Defender as he swept through the gates of his 30-room mansion over the weekend.”

Andrew’s car is brand new, only registered with the DVLA in early December.

Jaguar Land Rover has a 74-year-old deal with the Royal family, by which the royals are loaned a fleet of Land Rovers.

While Andrew has long benefitted from the deal, this new luxury car is sparking anger after his downfall.

“Jaguar Land Rover, a subsidiary of India’s Tata Motors since 2008, said: ‘We do not comment on any commercial client relationships’.”

Citizen Journalist Descends On Ohio, Immediately Finds ‘First Signs Of Potentially Massive Somali Fraud’

The “Nick Shirley Effect” has begun, with Muckraker founder Anthony Rubin on the ground in Columbus, Ohio, home to the second-largest Somali community in the U.S., investigating daycare centers. This development comes less than a day after Ohio attorney Mehek Cooke said federal investigators are examining allegations that elements within Ohio’s Somali community defrauded millions of dollars from the state’s Medicaid system.

“The first Somali-affiliated daycare facility that we knocked on after landing in Columbus, Ohio, today did not answer,” Rubin wrote on X, alongside a video showing the daycare center, Great Minds Learning Academy.

Rubin continued, “A neighbor across the street told us, ‘I’ve never seen anybody come out of the building or go into the building.'”

On Sunday, Breitbart News published an interview with Ohio attorney Mehek Cooke, who alleges that members of the Somali community in Ohio have defrauded millions of dollars from the state’s Medicaid program. She said that authorities at the highest levels are investigating “what is happening in Ohio.”

Air Force is “Hellbent” on Ending the Career of a Brigadier General Over His Opposition to the COVID-19 Mandate

In Air Force Brigadier General Christopher Sage’s case, he was left in command. No action was taken against him because of the many legal errors in the investigation. His own chain of command continued to support him and recommend him for promotion.

That is, until those voices were disregarded and he was taken off the two-star promotion list due to a flawed investigation that included his opposition to COVID-19 mandate policies.

The Gateway Pundit spoke to Brig Gen Sage, who, after three decades of honorable service to his country, now finds it difficult to come to terms with the fact that those in authority appear indifferent, or at least that’s the impression they create by disregarding his pleas for help.

“Why is the Air Force still not listening? Why are they still doubling down on a flawed investigation and hellbent on retiring me? Why are they not complying with President Donald Trump’s order to nullify all actions taken by the autopen?” These are only a handful of the questions that crowd his mind each day as he observes his own exemplary 31-year career come to an end, with a forced retirement looming on December 31, 2025.

According to reviewed documents, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), and nine other Congressmen have called for the investigation against him to be dismissed. These same individuals have also requested a formal inquiry into the Air Force Inspector General (IG) who oversaw his case. “They called out his conduct and misuse of the IG system,” Brig Gen Sage explained. “Rather than investigate the IG, the Air Force promoted him to 4-star general.”

In March 2024, after two years of delay, Brig Gen Sage was issued a memo bearing the autopen signature of former President Joe Biden, which removed him from the promotion list. The Air Force is still acting as if the document is binding despite President Trump’s call to terminate executive actions signed by Biden’s autopen. Even the Department of War appears to be ignoring Trump’s intention.

Have attorneys like the acting General Counsel Shannon McGuire and the Deputy General Counsel for Military Affairs Julia Muedeking also played a role in the destruction of Brig Gen Sage’s career? For many following his story, it begs the question: Who are the lawyers and bureaucrats advising the Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF), or the Secretary of War for that matter? These very people are the same ones who advised the last administration on implementing the illegal COVID-19 shot mandate. They now appear intent on waiting Brig Gen Sage out until December 31, effectively forcing the one-star into retirement.

Jennings: “Until Somebody In POWER Goes To JAIL,” Blue State Fraud Won’t Stop

In a heated CNN clash, conservative commentator Scott Jennings called out the lack of real accountability in Democrat-run states, demanding elected officials face consequences for enabling billion-dollar scams.

Jennings addressed the rot in blue states where massive fraud schemes have flourished under lax oversight. Facing pushback from host Abby Phillip, Jennings insisted that prosecuting small-time operators isn’t enough—real change demands jailing those at the top who allowed it all to happen.

The discussion centred on the sprawling welfare fraud in Minnesota, but Jennings expanded it to a nationwide indictment of blue state governance. When Phillip defended ongoing probes, saying, “This idea that nothing is being done, that no one is being held accountable, that this was just left to run rampant, is completely false,” Jennings countered sharply.

A prominent Texas businessman and appointee of Governor Greg Abbott was fatally shot in McAllen, Texas, over the weekend.

Eddy Betancourt, 61, was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound after a person called 911 to report a man was shot and not breathing.

Betancourt’s death is being investigated as a homicide.

60-year-old Reynaldo Mata-Rios was charged with murder. A warrant was issued for his arrest.

A motive for the murder is unclear.

Fox News reported:

A prominent businessman and appointee of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was shot and killed at a business in McAllen, a border city in the Rio Grande Valley, over the weekend, authorities said.

McAllen police identified the victim as Eddy Betancourt, 61, of Mission, Texas.

Officers responded Saturday afternoon to the 800 block of North Ware Road after a 911 call reported a man on the floor who was possibly shot and not breathing. Betancourt was found unresponsive, with no pulse, and appeared to have suffered a gunshot wound, police said.

His death is being investigated as a homicide, police said.

Police on Sunday identified Reynaldo Mata-Rios, 60, as a suspect in the shooting.

Guess Who Finally Showed Up at Minneapolis ‘Quality Learing Center’ This Week

YouTuber Nick Shirley did what no one in the legacy media bothered to do: he exposed the rampant fraud being perpetrated by Somali-run daycares in Minnesota by going to these “daycares” with a camera and asking questions. That’s it. That’s how easy it was for Shirley to amass more than 120 million views of his 42-minute story on X, and blow wide open the ongoing fraud scandal in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Shirley’s exposé was so damning that Governor Tim Walz was forced to respond, even though his statement — issued through a spokesperson — was “weak sauce,” as our Matt Vespa put it. 

“The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action,” the spokesperson said. “He has strengthened oversight — including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed.”

Sure.

One of the daycares, with the misspelled name, “Quality Learing Center,” supposedly cares for 99 children. When Shirley showed up, the building appeared empty.

Now, The New York Post is reporting that the owners are getting short-tempered with reporters and apparently trucking in those missing kids.

Luxury cars and private villas: See how Minnesota fraudsters spent millions intended for hungry kids

Luxury cars, private villas and overseas wire transfers: CBS News obtained dozens of files and photos that reveal how Minnesota fraudsters blew through hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars as part of one of the biggest COVID-era fraud schemes.

The files document a spending spree in which defendants, many of Somali descent, took taxpayer money meant to feed hungry children and used it to buy cars, property and jewelry. Videos show them popping champagne at an opulent Maldives resort. In a text message, one defendant boasts: “You are gonna be the richest 25 year old InshaAllah [God willing].”

The documents feature exhibits from a recent federal trial, many of which are being made public by CBS News for the first time. The exhibits include:

  • A confirmation email for a stay in an overwater villa with a private pool at Radisson Blu Resort Maldives
  • Lakefront property in Minnesota
  • Receipts showing wire transfers to China and East Africa
  • First class tickets to Istanbul and Amsterdam
  • A 2021 Porsche Macan
  • Stacks of cash, texted between defendants

At the sentencing of a defendant who used taxpayer funds for cars and the Maldives vacation, 24-year-old Abdimajid Mohamed Nur, U.S. District Judge Nancy E. Brasel admonished him, saying: “Where others saw a crisis and rushed to help, you saw money and rushed to steal.” He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay nearly $48 million in restitution for his role in the fraud scheme.

Nur is one of dozens who siphoned hundreds of millions in stolen taxpayer funds — with questions still swirling about where all the money went. The crime has drawn renewed attention in recent weeks: House Republicans last week launched a probe into Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s handling of the cases, and the Treasury Department said it will investigate whether money made its way to al Qaeda affiliate al Shabaab, which is based in Somalia.
