The IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced early Thursday morning that troops had recovered from the Gaza Strip and returned to Israel on Wednesday five bodies of hostages.
The hostages are Maya Goren, Sgt. Kiril Brodski, Staff-Sergeant Tomer Achimas, Oren Goldin, and Warrant Officer (res.) Ravid Aryeh Katz.

As FBI Director Chris Wray performed his usual smarmy stonewalling in Congress Wednesday, a damning report on his $10 billion agency’s “cult of narcissism” was delivered to the House Judiciary Committee by an alliance of retired and active-duty agents and analysts.
The same group gave us the scathing DEI report last year about the FBI’s degraded recruitment standards and coddling of physically unfit, mentally ill, drug-taking or generally useless agents to satisfy diversity requirements at the expense of merit and experience.
Canada’s acceptance of Palestinian refugees from Gaza is setting off alarm bells south of the border.
In a letter Wednesday to U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, United States Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) expressed concern over the program, which he warned could lead to an increased risk of allowing individuals with ties to terror groups easy access to the United States.

Now that Kamala Harris is the presumptive nominee, stories that never bubbled to the surface are popping up, and there will be more to come.
Axios wrote an unflattering story on Monday, highlighting that Biden thought she was a terrible candidate who would likely lose to Donald Trump. Now, POLITICO has a similar story about how European leaders think she is a lightweight who can never become president.

The victim of a stabbing outside an Army barracks is a lieutenant colonel, it has emerged, as counter-terror police were confirmed to be supporting the investigation.
Police said they were keeping an “open mind” as to the motive behind the attack that left one of the most senior officers at Brompton Barracks in Gillingham, Kent, home to the Royal School of Military Engineering, fighting for his life.
He was airlifted to hospital after being stabbed around 12 times while in his uniform just before 6pm on Tuesday, by a man wearing a ski mask and allegedly armed with two 10in knives.

Employment lawyer to probe appointment of human rights chief accused of anti-Israel record
The federal government has hired outside legal counsel to lead an independent review into the appointment of Canada’s new human rights chief, who Jewish advocacy groups say is unfit for the role.
We can all take comfort in the knowledge that the Liberal government will exonerate itself of any wrong doing.
Let me try to be as diplomatic and restrained as I can:@kamalaharris is a vacuous, lobotomized, shallow, inauthentic imbecile. She knows nothing. She has achieved nothing. She has used every non-meritocratic tool to climb the political career. She is a racist; she is… https://t.co/Gk4I4lOxaV

A court in Germany has ruled that there is no longer a general danger to all civilians in Syria, and that a convicted Syrian people smuggler can legally be deported to his home country. The ruling could significantly impact deportation cases, because the German government has so far classified Syria as an unsafe country of origin and rejects deporting failed asylum seekers there.
Traffic-clogging construction on the Gardiner Expressway could end at least one year earlier than originally planned, thanks to a funding injection from the provincial government.
Drivers will still have to endure the gridlock for another two years or so. But at a press conference at city hall on Wednesday, Ontario Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria joined Mayor Olivia Chow to announce Queen’s Park would spend up to $73 million to shave at least 12 months off the project, which since it began in April has been causing maddening bottlenecks on the highway and some downtown roads.
Mark this on your calendar. I doubt they will make the completion date, not even the old one.
The dumpster fire of American presidential politics is raging so hot that it is considered an epochal triumph that a man of obvious mental diminishment has been dragged out of the race. President Joe Biden realized that his main campaign message — I am not senile! — was not a path to victory and withdrew.
A major offshore-wind-power project approved by the Biden-Harris administration was shuttered last week after a turbine dramatically shattered, spewing sharp fiberglass shards onto nearby beaches and into the Atlantic Ocean.
