Fox News: Hawley pushes Mayorkas on encounters of 'special interest aliens' into US amid terror fears
Sen. Josh Hawley is raising concerns about the presence of "special interest aliens" at the U.S. southern border after the Hamas attack on Israel. He is pressing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to address this issue to ensure the safety of American citizens, particularly Jewish Americans. Hawley notes the record number of apprehensions of individuals on the terror watch list and the arrest of thousands of "special interest aliens" from countries, including the Middle East, attempting to cross the border illegally. Border Patrol data reveals encounters with individuals from various countries, including Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, and Syria.
Conservatives are worried that migrants from Iran, Syria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, some with ties to terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, may be trying to enter the U.S. DHS has acknowledged the potential risk and stated that individuals with terrorism connections may exploit the elevated flow and security environment to enter the country. Hawley emphasizes that illegal aliens with potential ties to terrorist organizations have no place in the U.S. and urges Mayorkas to secure the border and protect American citizens. He requests information on the number of special interest aliens released into the U.S., steps taken to enhance border security since the attack on Israel, and coordination with the FBI regarding organizations linked to Hamas.

Red State: GRUDGE MATCH: House Republicans Once Again Decide on Not Electing a Speaker
Maybe the United States House of Representatives doesn't really need a Speaker of the House. Maybe the members all know something that the rest of us don't because we are now into the second week of a speakerless house, and there seems to be no rush to get somebody the gavel to replace Kevin McCarthy. Speaking of Kevin, if you turn your head and face the east you can hear in the wind his soft laughing that it wasn't really him after all was it?
When Speaker Pro tem Patrick Henry moments ago slammed down the gavel in frustration to end the second attempt to install Jim Jordan of Ohio as Speaker, it signaled the beginning of a full-fledged Grudge Match among House Republicans.
American Thinker: The left is Public Enemy No. 1

The Blaze: Commentary: Gavin Newsom ratchets up California’s social justice social credit system
California's political transformation under Democrat leadership has shifted from anti-corporate leftism to a post-American nightmare. Governor Newsom's governance focuses on human resources, ESG compliance, and promoting obesity and drug use. The state's new vision involves a compulsory social credit system, with citizens ranked and valued based on "social justice." The recent mandate requires tech companies to submit diversity reports or face fines, resembling the naming and shaming approach of social credit systems. California's pursuit of social justice-driven social credit is a step backward into injustice.

Breitbart: Peter Schweizer: Does the Biden Administration Really Stand with Israel?
The role of Iran in supporting Hamas and the massacre of Israelis is complex and deadly.

Additionally, the Iranians use their oil reserves to influence US policy through organizations like the American-Iranian Council, which is funded by major US oil companies. The invasion by Hamas threatens Israeli relations with Saudi Arabia and undermines efforts for peace in the region.

Spectator USA: The media accuracy crisis around Israel mirrors how it got BLM wrong
The media and politicians jumped to conclusions about an alleged Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza based on unconfirmed claims by Hamas. When evidence emerged that Israel was not responsible, news outlets like The New York Times edited their stories. This pattern of biased reporting and rush to judgment has been seen before, such as in the case of Michael Brown's shooting in Ferguson and Jacob Blake's shooting in Kenosha, where initial narratives were proven false. The media's handling of these events aligns with their biased support for a particular cause or narrative.

Breitbart: Report: NYT Twice Alters 'Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital' Headline
The New York Times altered its headline multiple times after evidence suggested that a blast at a Gaza hospital was caused by an errant rocket fired by Hamas, not an Israeli airstrike. The original headline blamed Israel, but subsequent revisions removed the accusation. The Times has previously changed its coverage of the conflict on the Gaza Strip's border.
Despite evidence pointing towards an errant rocket, several leaders, including Canada's Prime Minister and a Democrat representative, rushed to blame Israel for the hospital blast. The evidence, including radar analysis and intercepted phone calls, suggested that the rocket was launched by Palestinian Islamic Jihad from a cemetery near the hospital. False information, such as a map accusing Israel of the attack, continues to spread.
