(Official White House Photo by Joyce N. Boghosian) President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner traveled to Egypt to meet with top Hamas officials about the future of Gaza.

Israeli National Security Minister Itmar Ben Gvir said that the IDF is not killing enough people in Gaza. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat — there are people there who are not worthy of life,” Ben Gvir said in comments that were first reported on Sunday. “They shouldn’t live.

Several service members had reportedly attempted to jump overboard. U.S. Central Command commander Adm.

When it comes to assessing and preventing threats, we humans often act against our best interests. A lot of people avoid going to the doctor because they don’t want to get ‘bad news’—even if that means not catching something serious sooner. In six weeks I will turn 53. During most of that time on this planet I’ve been hearing about the dangers of global warming —later relabelled as ‘climate change’, supposedly because it is more scientifically accurate, although I suspect because it was less alarmist. In the 1980s barely anyone cared about this problem, because (a) it was either considered…
