Jimmy Kimmel: "I said, 'our first lady Melania's here, look at her, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow. Which, obviously, was a joke about their age difference... It was a very light roast joke"

🚨Trump just endorsed renaming ICE to NICE (“National Immigration and Customs Enforcement”) so media has to say “NICE agents” all day. Meanwhile in Escondido, CA: Masked agents illegally boxed in a truck, heading to breakfast, broke the driver window, detain a U.S. citizen, accuse him of being Guatemalan, and held him 30+ mins. (Details)🧵

So a russian cargo ship of stolen Ukrainian grain being unloaded in Israel creates more outrage than Europeans still buying russian oil, gas, uranium and fertilizer worth billions of dollars. The antizionist double standards and libel machine are really showing. Peak hypocrisy.

In any normal country, purchasing stolen goods is an act that entails legal liability. This applies, in particular, to grain stolen by Russia. Another vessel carrying such grain has arrived at a port in Israel and is preparing to unload. This is not – and cannot be – legitimate business. The Israeli authorities cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country’s ports and what cargo they are carrying. Russia is systematically seizing grain on temporarily occupied Ukrainian land and organizing its export through individuals linked to the occupiers. Such schemes violate the laws of the State of Israel itself. Ukraine has taken all necessary steps through diplomatic channels to prevent such incidents. However, we see that yet another such vessel has not been stopped. I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to inform all partners of our state about the situation. Based on information from our intelligence services, Ukraine is preparing a relevant sanctions package that will cover both those directly transporting this grain and the individuals and legal entities attempting to profit from this criminal scheme. We will also coordinate with European partners to ensure that the relevant individuals are included in European sanctions regimes. Ukraine counts on partnership and mutual respect with every state. We are genuinely working to enhance security, particularly in the Middle East region. We expect that the Israeli authorities will respect Ukraine and refrain from actions that undermine our bilateral relations.

Timely and appropriate. The Biden census in 2020 robbed Florida of critical congressional seats and our significant growth justifies the need for mid-decade maps.

The ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, who requested arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders after he was accused of sexual abuse, was told Qatar would “look after” him, according to a new witness statement. The WSJ reports that the witness, who is a person familiar with the operation, submitted the statement to the FBI and is known to several Members of Congress. This builds on a report by The Guardian in November, which showed that a Qatar-linked private intelligence operation by at least two firms, Highgate and Elicius Intelligence, attempted to discredit Mr. Khan’s alleged sexual assault victim. In recordings, the private investigators discussed their connection to what appears to be Qatar, referring to it as the “client country.” In writing, one investigator instructed others to use “client” to describe “Q country.” Two sources familiar with the operation told the WSJ that Qatar was ultimately the client. When discussing Karim Khan, the intelligence operation manager said, “It’s all in the context of issuing the warrant. That was basically the deal. He was like, ‘I want to issue the warrant, but I’m terrified to do it.’ And they said, ‘If you do it, then we’ll look after you.’” The manager was asked whether the support came from an individual sheikh or the Qatari state, to which he replied, “No, it’s the state.”
