In the book, Cheney recalls her conversation with former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., after he traveled to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. “They’re really worried. Trump’s not eating, so they asked me to come see him," McCarthy told Cheney after she confronted him over the trip,  according to the book . "He’s really depressed,” McCarthy said, according to Cheney. Trump raged over the claim in a Truth Social  post  at around 1 am on Monday morning. "Crazy Liz Cheney, who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome at a level rarely seen before, writes in her boring new book that Keven [sic] McCarthy said he came to Mar-a-Lago after the RIGGED election because, 'the former president was depressed and not eating,'" Trump fumed. "That statement...

Donald Trump Fires Back At Liz Cheney With Unexpected Confession About Eating

Donald Trump  fumed on his Truth Social platform early Monday about a detail in former Rep.  Liz Cheney ’s new book. In Cheney’s upcoming “Oath and Honor,” the former lawmaker said Rep.  Kevin McCarthy  (R-Calif.) had told her he’d visited Trump at his Mar-a-Lago home in the aftermath of the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot — in what was essentially the first step toward the rehabilitation of Trump’s image among Republicans — because he’d been told Trump wasn’t eating. “Mar-a-Lago? What the hell, Kevin?” asked Cheney, a Wyoming Republican,  per CNN. “They’re really worried,” McCarthy reportedly replied. “Trump’s not eating, so they asked me to come see him.” “What? You went to Mar-a-Lago because Trump’s not eating?” Cheney sought to clarify. “Yeah, he’s really depressed,” McCarthy answered. Trump, in his Monday rant, attacked Cheney as “Crazy Liz Cheney, who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome at a level rarely seen before.” Trump, currently the Republican 2024 front-...

Israel releases documents it claims it found on dead Hamas fighters' bodies By Alistair Bunkall, Middle East correspondent in Tel Aviv

Image
The IDF has released documents and videos that it claims it discovered on the bodies of Hamas fighters. One booklet is an Arabic to Hebrew phrasebook, found in the Re’im area and with translations which the Israeli military say helped Hamas fighters communicate with hostages. Among the 45 phrases are sentences including “Where is the Head of the kibbutz?” and “We will kill the hostages.” The IDF says that hundreds of computers have been seized with millions of files on, as well as thousands of hours of footage from GoPro cameras worn by Hamas fighters. Although some of the material has been released for publication, much of it has remained "top secret" although we have been given clearance to write about what we saw. A book has instructions and diagrams showing fighters which points to attack Israeli armoured vehicles and tanks. A map discovered inside Gaza itself reveals Hamas bases and command posts highlighted in pink; one Hamas video taken from a drone shows it crossing t...

Palestinians 'have no safe place to go' as Israel demands more mass evacuations

Image
As reported here, Israel has been renewing its demands for mass evacuations in Gaza, this morning telling people in the southern town of Khan Younis - where tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians have sought refuge in recent weeks - to leave immediately. Airstrikes and the ground offensive have transformed much of the north, including large areas in Gaza City, into a rubble-filled wasteland. This has left around two million people now crowded into the 90 square miles that make up Gaza's south, where Israel's focus is starting to shift. However, as Israel calls for more areas to be evacuated, it is unclear where people can go. Shelters are already overwhelmed, and both Israel and neighbouring Egypt have refused to accept any refugees. Airstrikes and explosions were reported in and around Khan Younis overnight after the military dropped leaflets warning people to relocate farther south toward the border with Egypt. The military has ordered the evacuation of nearly two dozen ...

On Sunday, the Pentagon declared that an American warship and several commercial ships have come under attack in the Red Sea. Yemen’s Houthi Rebels, which is a Shia Islamist political and military organization, announced attacks on two ships that they claimed were linked to Israel, but did not recognize targeting a U.S. Navy vessel. The strike might have been a significant escalation in a sequence of maritime assaults in the Middle East connected to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. “We’re aware of reports regardin...

Analysis: Israel Reveals her Position in the Hamas War as Ceasefire Ends

Image
As ceasefire ends today, Hamas intensifies his strike on Israel. Just this morning, Hamas has sent dozens of missiles in Telaviv to show his preparedness for a continuous war against Israel. An Israeli official in Washington DC has been briefing journalists - including  Sky's US correspondent Mark Stone   who has just returned from Israel and Gaza.  The official made comments about the situation in Gaza following the breakdown in the truce.  Mark has been analysing them – and you can see his thoughts after each quote. "As a result of Hamas's refusal to abide by the terms of the deal and its active violations of it by carrying out the terror attack in Jerusalem on Thursday (11/30) and firing rockets towards Israel on Friday morning (12/1), the IDF has resumed striking Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip." "The goals of the war remain the destruction of Hamas's military capabilities and all its governing capacity over Gaza, and the release of all hostages." Th...
