The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant this week. This is the first time the court has ever targeted leaders from a democratic country. PM Netanyahu responded saying: “The antisemitic decision of the international court in The Hague is a modern Dreyfus trial, and it will end the same way. It is falsely accusing me, the democratically elected prime minister of the State of Israel and Israel’s former defense minister Yoav Gallant, of deliberately targeting civilians, this when we do everything in our power to avoid civilian casualties.” Netanyahu and Gallant might have to avoid visiting certain countries in Europe and Canada as a result of the decision. It is believed that once President Trump is in office, he will target the ICC for their unjust and illegitimate ruling.

Dem Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson claims Trump is a threat to ‘new arrivals’ & Blacks even as high-profiled ex-con Black social activist Tyrone Muhammad blasts him for “using Black people and Black families as a scapegoat…” – did Johnson steal the “Emperor’s new clothes”? //Trump is rapidly assembling his Cabinet and other top political appointments much to the delight of Republicans and chagrin of Democrats – which ones (if any) face the toughest confirmation tests? //Nancy Pelosi delusionally said Democrats should have stressed that Biden had fewer illegal crossovers than Trump despite the claim having all the accuracy of bullet fired by Tim Walz while hunting – is she senile or sociopathic?

US President-elect Donald Trump says that his goal is to end wars, and not start them. However, as opposed to the Biden Administration which has pressured Israel for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, President Trump says his “end” to the war would mean a 100% Israeli victory. Prime Minister Netanyahu has already spoken to President Trump several times this week, and says that they are on the same page when it comes to the Iranian threat. Reports indicate Trump is prepared to reassert pressure on Iran – the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism. The times are certainly changing.
