Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today with Steve Witkoff, the US President's Special Envoy for the Middle East, and Mike Huckabee, the US Ambassador to Israel. The Prime Minister then spoke with US President Donald Trump. The Prime Minister thanked President Trump for his assistance in the release of IDF soldier Idan Alexander.

For his part, the US President reiterated his commitment to Israel and his desire to continue close cooperation with the Prime Minister.

In his meeting with Envoy Witkoff and Ambassador Huckabee, the Prime Minister discussed the last-ditch effort to implement Witkoff's outline for the release of the hostages before the fighting escalated. To this end, the Prime Minister instructed that a negotiating delegation be sent to Doha tomorrow.

The Prime Minister clarified that the negotiations will only occur under fire.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"This is a very moving moment - Idan Alexander has returned home.

We embrace him and we embrace his family.

This was achieved thanks to our military pressure and President Trump's political pressure. This is a winning combination.

I spoke to President Trump today. He told me: “ I am committed to Israel. I am committed to continuing to work with you in close cooperation to achieve all of our war goals: to release all the hostages and to defeat Hams” It goes together. The things are intertwined."

I was right

Or McLaren and Marlboro, or Mitsubishi and Marlboro, or Subaru and 555, or Lotus and John Player Special, or Lotus and Camel, or McLaren and West, or Rothmans Honda NSR500 in MotoGP, the list never ends

You want a car without a backup camera? Sorry, not allowed in America.

This is because a woman backed over her child and blamed the auto manufacturer, and one of the core principles of American law is that women are never responsible for their own actions.

I actually like backup cameras. I've had the same stock backup camera for over 10 years and never had an issue with it.

Just because your car has side airbags does not mean you’re not going to be severely fucked up in an accident.

Pulling out in front of my giant 9000lb truck is never going to end well, yet people try and do it every day.

This is because a woman backed over her child and blamed the auto manufacturer, and one of the core principles of American law is that women are never responsible for their own actions.

And now that they have backup cameras they can make the rear visibility even worse than it already was. The circle of life.
I will say I do like the front camera to be able to figure out where the lines and obstructions are in front of me.

Uh, way to fat shame your bro POTUS

Trump: "A friend of mine who is a businessman. Very very very top guy. Most of you would've heard of him. Highly neurotic. Brilliant businessman. Seriously overweight. And he takes the fat shot drug."​

Is he talking about Elon???

Obviously he was talking about Null.

To think, apparently people on the Right’s biggest problem is that they “lack empathy” or some crap.

Where’s the empathy for the people who suffer because of them? It’s nowhere.

I’ve been in a few cars where it was obvious to me the backup camera was an afterthought to the design of the car and was near useless. I think it was a Ford Focus I rented where I ended up backing up the old fashioned way.

 

[NoReturn]

The left’s empathy is performative. If you really cared about people suffering, eventually you at least make an attempt at solving the problem.

The left COLLECTS problems, it ARRANGES problems, and attempts to use them to corner society into giving them more power

If you solve the problem, the thing you like goes away.
If you solve homelessness, then the people whose jobs depend on having a homeless problem to fix lose their employment.
If you solve whatever the fuck you're protesting about, you lose your fun community of protest friends.

Also rate me if I'm late but Trump fired some copyright gremlin woman

Well, there's the problem.

Speaking of cars, I can't get over how hard different states are trying to push electric car charger integration and how so many auto companies try to brag about how great their chargers are. Mercedes Benz boasts "our industry-leading chargers can charge your car from 20 to 80 percent in just 20 minutes." So you get the equivalent of just over half a tank in almost a half hour? I can fill my gas car up in a minute and be on my way with better gas mileage, in a vehicle that doesn't weight 1 and a half times (or sometimes 2 times) heavier and thus destroys the roads faster (while not contributing to maintenance because no gas tax).

The Episcopal Church has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by the Trump admin.

whats weird is they are not going to work with the goverment which is fine, but then they call on the goverment to do that work, if the goverment relented would they resume working the gov?

They should do at they are told and help the white people this is a bad look all the way around.

It sounds like a great way to waste your and your doctor's time.

"Doc, Can I ask you about Izerbey?"

You gotta waste taxpayer money somehow.

and how so many auto companies try to brag about how great their chargers are.

DEI score based investments, and EU tax payer money and tax cuts.

That kind of fast charging costs as much or more than gas though and is not really used a lot. Most (realistic) people think of an ev as an around-town car and charge overnight at home for cheap.

Oh, believe you me: the amount of tax dollars propping this shit up is higher than you think.

I'm hopeful and this is sorely needed, but it's probably not going to hold up in court for anyone who's not on Medicare/Medicaid. The courts are likely going to say this requires an act of Congress.
