The incident took place during an "Interactive Dialogue" regarding the UNHRC’s consideration of U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk’s report on "the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the obligation to ensure accountability and justice."
During an "Interactive Dialogue" experts are allowed to speak to the council about human rights issues being discussed during the regular session.
Touro Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust Director Anne Bayefsky says she submitted a video statement to UNHRC, but was cut off after just a few seconds. President of the U.N. Human Rights Council Jürg Lauber stopped the video and declared that Bayefsky had used inappropriate language. Read more and see video here.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., advocated for the Trump administration to release the full, unredacted records related to sexual predator and financier Jeffrey Epstein as Attorney General Pam Bondi now says the Department of Justice could release the records Thursday.
"I think tomorrow…breaking news. Right now, you're going to see some Epstein information being released by my office. What you're going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot, a lot of information. But it's pretty sick what that man did," Bondi told Fox News' Jesse Watters Wednesday night.
Her comments came hours after Fox News Digital spoke with Blackburn, who has been among the most vocal Capitol Hill lawmakers calling to release the Epstein records. Read more and see videos here.
Yet, Trump’s team appealed and blocked Ali’s judgment for now. Ali was confirmed because Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN), now governor of Indiana, wasn’t present to block this nomination. The vote on Ali’s nomination was on November 24, 2024. Braun was absent, and Vice President Kamala Harris was licking her wounds in Hawaii. Braun’s vote would’ve deadlocked the Senate and killed the confirmation, but Ali got confirmed on a 50-49 vote.
This circus over foreign aid could’ve been avoided if people showed up for their votes. Read more, see Xs and SCOTUS ruling here.
Bondi sent letters to attorneys general in California, Maine and Minnesota Tuesday, first obtained by Fox News.
"This Department of Justice will hold accountable states and state entities that violate federal law," Bondi wrote. "Indeed, we have already begun to do so."
Bondi was referring to the Justice Department’s move to sue Illinois and New York earlier in February for defying federal immigration laws.
"We also stand ready to sue states and state entities that defy federal antidiscrimination laws," Bondi wrote.
President Donald Trump recently directed the DOJ and the Education Department to prioritize enforcement actions against athletic associations that deny girls an equal opportunity to participate in sports and athletic events by requiring them to compete against boys.

Simply, a “monetary crisis“ was what we had been facing when Joe Biden was in office, what with the federal government giving out more dollars and cents than it took in. But now with DOGE exposing what is a truly massive amount of governmental monetary waste, the only fair thing to do is take the monies that will be saved when the deportations are complete and either put those monies back into the programs that saw Biden putting American citizens last or simply give it back to we taxpayers...call it “personal stimulus checks“ if need be. But either way a fair amount of those saved monies should also be used to aid our veterans in need for it's shameful that there are close to 33,000 homeless veterans in our country today...veterans who served our country well. It's way past time that the federal government...as well as state and local governments...start spending more monetarily to help serve our veterans and their needs instead of serving those who...and I cannot say this enough...should never have been allowed to come here in the first place...

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear two cases involving pro-life groups who challenged laws banning protests near abortion clinics. The Court rejected appeals from Coalition Life, or the "America's Largest Professional Sidewalk Counseling Organization," in New Jersey and Illinois. Both had appealed lower court rulings that dismissed their lawsuits. They argued that "buffer zones,” which were set in place after a previous Supreme Court decision in Colorado, keep patients from facing harassment. Read more here.
At a press conference on Monday, DeSantis emphasized that many individuals find it challenging to afford property taxes, much less the expenses associated with buying a home and the land it occupies. He argues that taxing land and property is an unjust and inefficient method of taxation.
“You buy a home, you buy land... and then, you've been taxed many times [on that]... is it your property, or not? Just for being on your property, you've got to write a check to the government every year?” DeSantis asked.
According to CoreLogic data, Florida's median property tax in 2024 was $3,101, a 9.5 percent increase from last year and up 47.5 percent from 2019. Read more, see X and video here.
RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS...LIVE!
But know that when said deportations do come to an end so too will the monies being spent to feed, house, clothe, educate, and medically take care of those who had no business coming here in the first place. A good thing indeed for the monies spent on those crossing our border illegally can now, if properly managed, be returned to the American people, most especially our seniors and our military veterans who seem to get the monetary shaft every time there is a “monetary crisis.”
And while we all tend to laugh at the political bureaucracy and their “rub-it-into-our-faces” shenanigans, if truth be told those who are part and parcel of said bureaucracy are smart enough to know that few, if any, illegals will ever bite the hand of those who seemingly attend to their every need, want, and wish..
In fact, in 2023...the year I've based most of this article's figures on because it was one of the busiest years ever for illegal crossings...our federal government did spend almost $66.5 billion on these folks. This includes the more than $23 billion in federal medical expenditures spent on illegals...spent while many Americans, even to this day, still cannot afford health insurance...along with $11.6 billion in welfare benefits ranging from food stamps to, in some cases, SSI (Supplemental Security Income) additions, while many Americans continued living from paycheck to paycheck.
And this you, dear reader, might also find interesting, In 2024 alone...as per the Social Security Administration (SSA)...about 68 million Americans received Social Security benefits each month which resulted in about $1.5 trillion in benefits being paid out last year, So how were those monies being divvied out? The average monthly benefit for retired workers in 2024 was estimated at $1,927, which included a 3.2% cost-of-living (COLA) adjustment with the benefit rising to to $1,976 at the beginning of 2025, which equates to roughly a $50 increase per month per beneficiary.
And approximately how much does “each” illegal border crosser cost us for their anything but “free stuff”...in 2024, how about $8,776. And when you multiply that number by the number of persons in an illegal family...lets say a mother, father, and two children...that number equals $35,104 annually which divided by 12 months equals $2,925 per month which is more than the average monthly Social Security check is for one who has paid into the system their entire working life.
Here are but three examples:
1. Since 2022, New York City has spent over $5.22 billion to provide shelter, food, and other so deemed “essential” services on the almost quarter of a million illegals now still overwhelming the city.
2. The sanctuary city of Chicago...a city currently facing a budget shortfall of $1 billion...saw its mayor spending over $574.5 million on the 51,643 illegals that Texas Gov. Abbott rightfully bused to them.
3. The city of Denver...yet another sanctuary city...has spent $356+ million to “accommodate” the needs of the the 42,911 illegals also bused there from Texas.

"We can confirm that baby Kfir Bibas, just 10 months old, and his
older brother Ariel, aged four, were both brutally murdered by
terrorists while being held hostage in Gaza no later than November 2023.
These two innocent children were taken hostage alive, along with their
mother, Shiri, from their home on October 7, 2023," IDF Spokesman Rear
Adm. Daniel Hagari said as part of his remarks.
He also went on to indicate how they died. "Contrary to Hamas’s lies,
Ariel and Kfir were not killed in an airstrike. Ariel and Kfir Bibas
were murdered in cold blood by terrorists," Hagari continued. 'The
terrorists did not shoot the two young boys--they killed them with their
bare hands. Afterward, they committed horrific acts to cover up these
atrocities." Read more, See Xs and video here.
Patel was confirmed with a 51 to 49 vote, with all Democrats voting against him. Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Susan Collins (ME) also voted "no" on the new FBI Director's confirmation.
Patel, who served for a decade as a federal prosecutor at the Justice Department, was nominated as a part of President Donald Trump’s effort to clean up corruption in the Bureau and prevent it from being weaponized against Americans for their political beliefs.
During his confirmation hearing, Patel stated, "Protecting the rights of the Constitution is of the utmost importance to me and has been every single time I’ve taken that oath of office.”
He further stated that he “will remain focused on the FBI’s core mission, that is to investigate fully wherever there is a constitutional factual basis to do so.” Read more, see Xs and videos here.
The order directs federal agencies and departments to identify and put an end to programs that currently offer illegal immigrants financial benefits.
It is estimated that taxpayers spend billions annually caring for illegal immigrants who have entered the U.S. since 2021, according to a White House fact sheet.
- Under current welfare laws, specifically the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), illegal aliens are generally barred from welfare programs. But if they’re granted parole, they are classified as “qualified aliens” and become eligible for various welfare programs on a sliding scale, with full eligibility granted within five years.
- According to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), providing welfare to one million illegal aliens could cost American taxpayers an additional $3 billion annually.
The heartbreaking exchange saw the terror group hand over the bodies of Kfir Bibas, along with his brother, Ariel, who was taken when he was just 4, their mother, Shiri, 33, and Oded Lifshitz, 84.
The bodies of the Bibas family — whose kidnapping video became a symbol for the horrors of Oct. 7 — and Lifshitz are set to be transferred to Israel, where a funeral will be held for them.
The four coffins containing the victims were displayed on stage in
front of a disturbing mural depicting a bloody Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu — with fangs — standing over pictures of the Bibas
family and Lifshiftz, alongside a propagandist inscription.
Placed next to the coffins were two missiles with English text reading, “They were killed by USA bombs.” Read more, see video and photos here.
In 2023, House Judiciary Republicans exposed text messages between Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, in which they discussed an “insurance policy” to keep President Donald Trump out of office in 2016. Patel recently discussed this during an interview with Shawn Ryan, declaring that Strzok and Page “broke the law, broke every regulation there is in the FBI,” and “weaponized the system of justice against a political target they hated.”
