WOW WOW WOW!!! Unbelievable!!!! "The year 2024 will be one when most of you will no longer be able to trust any news channel anymore." Really?!?! I haven't heard that. Very interesting. I don't trust most of them now. Certainly not the legacy alphabet news, although my husband likes to watch them, and definitely not CNN. Even Fox can't be trusted about Covid or the stolen election. Almost all of the media in the US is owned by 6 people, all of whom are extreme liberals. Even Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdoch. The news in the US is nothing more than Op Ed and propaganda. The only trustworthy news I can think of is Epoch Times. Otherwise, the news as we once knew it is dead. CNN was the worse … always the same story every half hour until … there was some breaking news catastrophe that would mess up the line up. My dad, with his dementia, had to have that news network on. I would keep him company by staying in the same room and sat in a leather chair with my ipad to stay sane while he sat on the leather sofa mesmerized. 😵💫 After the 3rd round 1 1/2 hours .. I knew what storyline came next and said … “and now comes this … and that … and now expect this and get ready for a short commercial break …” and he would be amazed I knew that was going to happen. 🙄 With his short term memory issues … each broadcast seemed “new” to him. While I was going batty in the corner of the room. :wacko: It got worse when it was election year … it was no longer regular “news” but political and always bad mouthing the other running opponent and the commercials were even worse. It was a relief when the elections were overwith. From Amir Tsarfati's e-mail newsletter: Israel Strikes Terrorist Targets: Expanding Global Relationships for Israel: Ukraine Evacuating Settlements after Failed Counterattack: US Pays Iran for Prisoners: 
Sunday morning brought the sounds of loud blasts to the Damascus suburb of Qudsaya. Although Israel remains mute on their participation, most believe the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were on the delivering end of the attack. There have been at least 22 strikes by Israel on Syria this calendar year. According to residents of the area, “warehouses of pro-Iran militias” were destroyed in Sunday’s attack. Wednesday night saw a lot of action in the West Bank, as, first, Israeli security arrested a suspect in connection with a drive-by shooting. Second, eight Palestinians were wounded by IDF forces when they attacked Jewish worshippers visiting Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem. Finally, the IDF and Border Police united to destroy an explosives laboratory and warehouse at the Balata refugee camp.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry has announced that Paraguay will open its embassy in Jerusalem this year. Somewhat following the lead of their almost-neighbor to the north, Uruguay has said that they will open a diplomatic mission in Jerusalem. Israeli relations also continue to grow in Asia. On Wednesday, Israeli Minister of Economy and Industry Nir Barkat was in Hanoi to sign an agreement to launch the first direct flights between Israel and Vietnam. The flights between Hanoi and Tel Aviv will launch in October.
Following Ukraine’s failed counterattack against Russian forces, Kyiv is ordering mandatory evacuations in the northeastern Kharkiv region. In Kupiansk, the city military administration issued an announcement requiring Ukrainian citizens to leave dozens of towns and villages near the front. Meanwhile, Stian Jenssen, the chief of staff to the NATO secretary general, ill-advisedly told a panel audience on Tuesday, “I think that a solution could be for Ukraine to give up territory and get NATO membership in return.” The Kyiv government went ballistic. The next day, Jenssen walked back his statement, saying it was “a mistake."
The United States does not pay ransom for hostages. As you read this story, just keep repeating that phrase to yourself. In what was not a ransom-for-hostages-transaction, the Biden administration has agreed to release $6 billion from South Korea and five Iranians held prisoner in the US to Iran in exchange for the release of five American citizens who are detained in Tehran. The convoluted justification for this action is something like, “What’s the problem? We’re simply swapping five prisoners for five prisoners…. What? Oh yeah, plus the $6 billion.” Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called this a “dangerous precedent”, then declared what everybody recognizes, “This will only encourage more hostage-taking by the Iranian terrorists.” Could it possibly be that this has anything to do with greasing the skids for a new Iran nuclear agreement? Hmmmm….
