(Worthy Insights) – As fighting continues in Gaza with no ceasefire deal in sight, many wonder about the future of the region.
After studying similar situations over the past 100 years, one group of Israeli lawyers has a plan they believe is critical for Israel’s security.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is insisting Hamas be destroyed by the end of the war. Others believe the priority is a peace deal, and that Gaza can be dealt with later. [ Source (Read More…) ]
(Worthy Insights) – Justice Department officials have been evaluating how to wind down the two federal criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office to comply with long-standing department policy that a sitting president can’t be prosecuted, two people familiar with the matter tell NBC News.
The latest discussions stand in contrast with the pre-election legal posture of special counsel Jack Smith, who in recent weeks took significant steps in the election interference case against Trump without regard to the electoral calendar.
But the sources say DOJ officials have come to grips with the fact that no trial is possible anytime soon in either the Jan. 6 case or the classified documents matter — both of which are mired in legal issues that would likely prompt an appeal all the way to the Supreme Court, even if Trump had lost the election.

(Worthy Insights) – Many of us are under surveillance, at this very moment. No warrants are needed, and no laws are broken.
The most obvious culprit is all the cameras, and America has as many surveillance cameras per person as Communist China. Police departments in America’s largest cities, from New York to L.A., are combining these cameras with facial recognition technology to track everyone.
You’re also giving away your personal information, about where you are, what you like, even about your mental health without even realizing it. Every click, purchase, and “like” is harvested and sold for profit by data brokers, feeding a growing digital advertising market that is close to one trillion dollars in value. Even your car tire sensors allow you to be tracked. [ Source (Read More…) ]
(Worthy Insights) – Authorities in South Carolina on Thursday warned residents to lock their doors and windows after more than 40 monkeys escaped from a research facility.
The primates broke loose from a Alpha Genesis facility in Beaufort County and traps have been set up and thermal imaging cameras are being used in an effort to locate the fugitive monkeys, the Yemassee Police Department said in a statement.
In an update posted Thursday, police confirmed 43 rhesus macaque primates escaped and none had been captured as of early afternoon. Authorities said the primates were “very young females weighing approximately 6-7 lbs” and had never been used for testing due to their age. [ Source (Read More…) ]
(Worthy Insights) – Evangelist Franklin Graham said Wednesday he believes God spared the life of Donald Trump from an assassin’s bullet so the former president could reclaim the White House. Graham made the remarks hours after Trump himself raised the possibility of divine intervention as he spoke to the nation on Election Night. Trump won back the presidency thanks to a strong showing in the South, Southwest, and industrial heartland.
“Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness, and now we are going to fulfill that mission together,” Trump said during his victory speech. “We’re going to fulfill that mission.”
Graham echoed those comments during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. There is, Graham said, “no question” that God intervened. Graham is president of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. [ Source (Read More…) ]
(Worthy Insights) – Before the US election, the Iranian-backed militias in Iraq were increasing their drone threats to Israel. They have been launching drones and making more statements about potential involvement in attacks on Israel. The militias are part of the larger Iranian-backed milieu in the region.
There is no doubt that Iranian messaging after the US election is that Tehran and its axis of “resistance” will continue their attacks. Ali Fadavi, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said, “Iran and the Resistance Front are ready, and the Zionists cannot confront us, and they must await our response.”
The Iraqi militias represent a clear and present danger to Israel and the region, as well as to US troops in Iraq and Syria. During the first Trump administration, the militias increased their power and role in Iraq, many bolstered after ISIS invaded in 2014, and recruited based on a fatwa by Ayatollah Ali Sistani. After 2017, they then turned their recruits to conduct other operations in Iraq, with some moving towards threats to Israel – including Kataib Hezbollah, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, and Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba.

(Worthy Insights) – In the early hours of Wednesday morning, legacy news networks were already sliding toward 2016 levels of melting down about the increasingly definite prospect of a presidential victory by Donald J. Trump. For them, Harris’ stinging defeat is personal — because it’s just as much a defeat for them as it is for her.
The corporate media industrial complex has spent Donald Trump’s entire political career trying to destroy him. Hand-in-hand with triple-letter government agencies and Democrats, they ran a hoax painting Trump as a Russian stooge based on ridiculous rumors commissioned by his opponent’s campaign in 2016. They continued to spread the lie for the duration of his presidency, awarding each other Pulitzers for it. And they’ve only ramped up their efforts since then.
The problem they’re reckoning with tonight is this: those efforts didn’t work. They’re no longer able to control Americans by controlling their information intake, because their credibility is farther deep-sixed than the Clinton family’s enemies list. [ Source (Read More…) ]
(Worthy Insights) – Ten states across the country voted on ballot measures Tuesday as pro-choice forces sought to overturn pro-life protections and permanently enshrine abortion rights in state constitutions – in some cases allowing abortions to be performed up until birth.
In the end, some of the most closely watched abortion amendments passed in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Missouri, and Montana, but were voted down in Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, told CBN News the Florida measure would have allowed abortions through the third trimester. [ Source (Read More…) ]
(Worthy Insights) – The official response from Xi Jinping’s communist China to President-elect Trump’s victory was formulaic.
“Our policy towards the U.S. is consistent,” foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters Wednesday afternoon. “We will continue to view and handle China-U.S. relations in accordance with the principles of mutual respect, peaceful co-existence and win-win cooperation.”
National Taiwan University Department of Philosophy professor Yuan Juzheng returned to Taiwan from a trip to China Monday, where, he noted, nearly everyone he met with wanted to talk about the U.S. election. He told Fox News Digital a Trump win is a “worst-case scenario” for Beijing. China experts, as well as Chinese citizens online, believe the next four years under President-elect Trump will almost certainly worsen already strained ties. [ Source (Read More…) ]
(Worthy Insights) – Faith leaders are saying Wednesday that they pray President-elect Donald Trump “will look to God every day for His guidance and wisdom” following his victory over Kamala Harris.
In his victory speech early this morning, Trump, referencing the two assassination attempts against him in Pennsylvania and Florida, said “many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason.
“And that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness. And now we are going to fulfill that mission together,” Trump continued. “We’re going to fulfill that mission. The task before us will not be easy, but I will bring every ounce of energy, spirit, and fighting that I have in my soul to the job that you’ve entrusted to me.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
