Trump deserves credit for freeing the surviving hostages—but this was theater, not peace. The ceasefire is already cracking, and the odds of a real accord are barely 30%. The dead may never be recovered. Netanyahu and Trump staged a show, not a treaty. open.substack.com/pub/normsmus...

Theater of Peace: Trump, Netanyahu, and the Ceasefire That’s Already Cracking

While Trump should get credit for freeing the living hostages, the so-called peace deal was more performance than progress—its ceasefire already fraying, its promise of lasting peace fading fast.

Nope. I don't give him credit. He took Biden's plan to people who were war-weary after 2 years. I don't give him credit for anything, except making this country worse.

No peace accord has been signed between Israel and Hamas. Analysts say deep mistrust, political instability, and irreconcilable goals make a lasting agreement unlikely—odds are roughly 70% that a true, durable peace will never be reached.

It’s like the “Wag the Dog” strategy. Distract the masses with one thing while you are secretly doing another.

Visualization of approximately how many Earths could fit inside the Sun...
Models help us to compare these huge numbers with each other. In this activity, a solar model is made, which is filled with globes.
Calculations show that approx. 1 million globes fit into the sun.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors
