I am a Jordanian Palestinian and I support Trump’s settlement plans for Gazans

By Mudar Zahran / American Thinker

President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Gaza’s Palestinians relocate to Jordan and Egypt on a “short term or long term” basis has been dismissed as diplomatically “unprecedented.”

The critics are wrong.

Jordan is a majority Palestinian state ruled by an ethnic Hashemite monarchy of fewer than 100 people. If Palestinians have a “right of return,” it’s to Jordan. Palestinians in the West Bank/Judea & Samaria and Gaza were Jordanian and remain so, despite the Hashemite Kingdom’s abandonment of them.

Jordan and Egypt oppose assuming responsibility for the Palestinians. “They will,” says President Trump. He is right — both historically and legally. Jordan’s own nationality law confirms that Palestinians are legally Jordanian. According to Jordanian Nationality Law No. (6) of 1954: "Anyone who held Palestinian nationality before May 15, 1948, and habitually resided in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan between December 20, 1949, and February 16, 1954, is considered a Jordanian citizen."

How USAID Drove the Russian Collusion Hoax

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet 

 

USAID is no more. What’s left of the desiccated corpse of this agency has been absorbed into the State Department, with most of its workers laid off and its overseas missions shut down. The veneer of aid work has been obliterated, thanks to the work of President Donald J. Trump and DOGE, which uncovered a litany of wasteful spending. It was a primary driver of favors and pork for the political class. The gravy train derailed, and the vehicle for moving slush funds was deactivated. That’s why the Left freaked out about the end of USAID.  

The agency also played a part in the impeachment of Trump, subsidizing and being a quasi-lord protector at the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), which is supposed to be independent but was anything but when you review the dynamics. USAID approved its staff hires and action plan, and OCCRP was cited numerous times in a CIA whistleblower’s complaint that launched the Ukraine quid pro quo circus. So, it’s not too shocking that USAID was also involved in the Russian...Read more and see X here.

Trump Spoke With Putin. Here’s Where They Plan to Meet.                                                                                                                             Rebecca Downs / Townhall Tipsheet

 

President Donald Trump spoke with Russia’s Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, as he shared in a Truth Social post that morning. Such a phone call, and the post, comes after Marc Fogel, an American being held prisoner in Russia, was released and came to the White House on Tuesday night.

The post mentioned Fogel’s return, as well as a whole host of other topics, including bringing an end to the war with Ukraine, which started under the Biden-Harris administration. Even still more topics were discussed, according to Trump. 

As the lengthy post read:

“I just had a lengthy and highly productive phone call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, Energy, Artificial Intelligence, the power of the Dollar, and various other subjects. We both reflected on the Great History of our Nations, and the fact that…Read more, see Xs and videos here.

Freed American hostage Marc Fogel lands in US after years in Russian captivity 

'MARC FOGEL IS BACK!!! PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT!!!' the White House said

Landon Mion / FOX NEWS 

 

Marc Fogel, an American who had been detained in Russia since 2021, landed back in the U.S. on Tuesday.

Fogel, a history teacher who was working at the Anglo-American School in Moscow, returned to the U.S. after his release from Russia following talks with the Trump administration.

He was serving a 14-year sentence after his arrest in August 2021 at a Russian airport for possession of drugs, which his family said was medically prescribed marijuana.

Fogel was seen in a picture posted by the White House on social media smiling and raising his fist while wrapped in an American flag as he walked off the plane on U.S. soil.

"MARC FOGEL IS BACK!!! PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT!!!" the White House wrote on X.

After his arrival in the U.S., Fogel, from Pennsylvania, met with President Donald Trump at the White House and called him a hero for securing his release.

Making the Trump Tax Cuts Permanent? Some Senate Dems Say They'll Play Ball.

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet 

The budget wars are about to begin. Yet, in January, moderate Senate Democrats offered an olive branch as the Trump tax cuts expired: they’d be willing to work with Republicans on tax cuts without going through the reconciliation process. They promised they would deliver enough votes to break filibusters (via Politico):

"A group of eleven moderate Senate Democrats say they want to work with Republicans on addressing the GOP's expiring tax cuts and raising the debt ceiling.

In a new letter to Republican leaders, they say they are willing to cut spending, protect family-oriented tax policies, have “competitive” rates on businesses — and that they can provide enough votes to allow Republicans to overcome a filibuster in the Senate without having to resort to so-called reconciliation.

Tom Homan Has a Clue Where the ICE Leaks Are Coming From...and It's Not Surprising 

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet 

President Donald J. Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, has a leaker problem. It reared its ugly head when Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Aurora, Colorado, were made public. It happened again over the weekend, with The Los Angeles Times being tipped off on a massive ICE raid in the city in the coming days and having sensitive documents to corroborate the operation.

Leaks in government aren’t new, and they were pervasive under the first Trump presidency. With the Left’s affinity for illegal immigration, there was no doubt some self-righteous and unelected clown was going to tip off the public. Homan says that in the search for the leaker, some of the trails lead back to the FBI. The person who leaked the Aurora operation has been identified. 

"Well, look, we think it's coming from inside. We know the first leak of Aurora is under current investigation. We think we identified that person. 

The California leak, Secretary Noem, she's...Read more, see Xs and videos here.

Dem Donor Alleges That Joe Biden Was Doped Up Before Campaign Events

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Former Democratic donor-tuned-MAGA supporter Lindy Li dropped more details about Joe Biden and her former party’s shenanigans during the 2024 election. Li has been eager to spill all the things about the delusions that engulfed the Democrats, to the point where some thought they could win Iowa. Over $2 billion was raised and blown on Kamala Harris’ shambolic campaign for the White House. After some expenditures were made public, some megadonors warned they’d never write a check again.  

Ms. Li said that after Joe Biden’s disastrous CNN debate that June, Hunter Biden commandeered the White House and sat in on sensitive meetings without a security clearance. 

“That’s who was basically running the show. So, Hunter basically batten down the hatches after the debate to make sure his father would only receive intel he pre-approved,” she told Shawn Ryan. Read more and see video here.
