The Daily Mail Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed revenge on Hamas after it was discovered that the body in a coffin bearing Shiri Bibas' name and photo was an unidentified woman, not the kidnapped mother of the two. On Thursday, Hamas was supposed to deliver the bodies of Shiri Ariel and Kfir Bibas and Oded Lifshitz.

However, during the identification process, Israel discovered that the body inside Shiri's coffin was not hers. These Hamas monsters also cynically refused to bring back the boy's mother, Shiri, and sent the body of a Gazan woman instead in brazen violation of the agreement Netanyahu sent a statement on Friday.

Well, everybody loves their local post office. Well, not necessarily everybody. I do. I'm there a lot, like the ladies that work there. A couple of things, Victor. One is, let's say there was no post office and such a thing was needed. What would be created today in 2025 is not the postal system we have. I think no question about it. It probably would have been a privatized thing.

The other thing... tease me off about it are stamps, the commemorative stamps. I was a stamp collector. And it is an expression of our culture or of the governing culture.

And so many of our commemorative stamps have been about Pete Seeger and all these left-wing, you know, it's very difficult to find a commemorative stamp that has anyone who would be considered a conservative, you know, say like Bill Buckley, who, by the way, who's today's the 27th

Yeah. Well, I think it's probably the thing most intimate that people have. You're getting mail, you're seeing the mailman, you know the mailman. So if we're allowed to say mailman anymore. Hey, Victor, there's a number of other really more important, I think, Trump actions that deserve your attention. And let's get into illegal immigration, if I'm allowed to say that.

February. So, Victor, Donald Trump, here's a headline from the Daily Mail. Trump signs most explosive executive order yet as he pulls all federal funding to illegal immigrants. And first two lines of this, Donald Trump... sign an executive order that stops taxpayer money from going to undocumented migrants.

The White House stated that Trump is committed to safeguarding federal public benefits for American citizens who are truly in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans. Trump is demanding corrective action to stop all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens. And, Victor, if you don't mind, roll into that, that Donald Trump

I would have picked Battleground, and they were expendable. But that's, you know, everyone to each their own. Well, okay. Well, Victor, you're here. We have so many topics to get your wisdom on.

Promises Made, Promises Kept: Executive Orders and Energy Dominance Unveiled
Now, another action Donald Trump has taken was the unleashing of the America First investment policy. And this has a broad agenda to it. But one of the aspects of it is... I don't know, an international middle finger of sorts to China. I just want to read one section of it. Folks will indulge me because it incorporates a lot of the anxieties and anger that many Americans had over China.

the lack of fairness between how China operates in the U.S. and how, of course, you can't operate in China. Here's what is in this policy, which anyone can find on the whitehouse.gov website.

Oh, certainly. Hey, one last thing, because we're talking about some economic stuff, I just want to raise quickly. Again, I think this came from the Daily Mail.

Former President Joe Biden's attempts to bolster U.S. infrastructure were largely unsuccessful. He told Politico Biden's programs had basically been a failure. He also suggested in the interview that high costs often marred the Biden-Harris administration's infrastructure projects. All of this, quote, all of this drove up costs so much.
