It's not every day aviation history is made, but June 2025 marked a real milestone for New York and the world of electric flight.For the first time, a passenger-carrying electric airplane landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport, and it wasn't just a test. There were actual people on board.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

With four passengers on board, the trip covered about 70 nautical miles in just over half an hour. That's right, a fully electric plane, carrying people, quietly and efficiently making its way through the skies above New York.Clark put it simply, "This is a 100% electric airplane that just flew from East Hampton to JFK with passengers on it, which was a first for the New York Port Authority and the New York area. We covered 70 odd nautical miles in 35 minutes."The message this sent was clear that electric air travel is here, and it's practical.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREWINDOWLESS JETS OFFER A DIGITAL EXPERIENCE ON FUTURE FLIGHTSThe real takeaway isn't just the novelty of the flight, but what it means for the future of getting around. Electric aircraft like this one are quiet, which means happier communities near airports. They're also much cheaper to operate.As Clark noted,"Charging this thing up and flying out here cost us about $8 in fuel. Of course, you have to pay for the pilot and the airplane, but, fundamentally, it's way less expensive."Passengers on the flight could talk to each other the whole time, thanks to the lack of noisy engines and propellers. That kind of comfort and accessibility is exactly what could make electric air travel a hit with commuters and travelers looking for a better way to get from one point to another.HOW TO LOWER YOUR CAR INSURANCE COSTS IN 2025FLYING CAR WITH 620-MILE RANGE SCHEDULED FOR UPCOMING LAUNCHTransportation companies are already eyeing electric battery-powered aircraft for short city trips, especially those that cantake off and land vertically. The idea is to help travelers beat traffic and reduce emissions, all while offering a smoother, quieter ride.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has also stepped in, finalizing new rules in October for pilot training and certification for air taxis. This move was described as "the final piece in the puzzle for safely introducing these aircraft in the near term." With regulations in place and companies like Beta Technologies pushing forward, the dream of electric air taxis is closer than ever.NASA'S MARTIAN HELICOPTER PROMISES UNPRECEDENTED VIEWS OF THE RED PLANETBeta Technologies, based in Vermont and founded in 2017, is at the forefront of this movement. The company recently raised $318 million to fund production, certification and commercialization of its electric aircraft, bringing its total funding to over $1 billion. It's not just building planes. It's building the infrastructure needed to support electric flight across the country.The success of this flight is a strong signal that electric air travel is becoming a practical option, not just a futuristic idea. Beta's aircraft can fly up to 250 nautical miles on a single charge, making it ideal for short hops between cities and suburbs. As more companies join the effort and more charging stations are built, it's easy to see how electric air travel could become a regular part of how we get around, especially in busy urban areas.SUBSCRIBE TO KURTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR QUICK VIDEO TIPS ON HOW TO WORK ALL OF YOUR TECH DEVICESSo, what's the real story here? The first passenger-carrying electric airplane touching down at JFK is way more than a cool headline. It's proof that electric air travel isn't just some futuristic thing. It's actually here, it works and it's ready to shake up how we get around. With rules that make sense, plenty of investment and people getting more curious and excited, the future of clean, quiet and easy-to-access air travel is looking pretty promising.When it comes to new tech like electric planes, what makes you hesitate the most?

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was delivering remarks at a "Fighting Oligarchy" rally in Tusla, Okla., on Saturday night when President Donald Trump announced the United States had successfully attacked three nuclear sites in Iran.An aide interrupted Sanders' remarks to deliver the message Trump had just blasted off on Truth Social."We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," Trump said in the post.Sanders read the piece of paper with Trump's Truth Social post to his supporters, shaking his head as the socialist senator processed what the president had just announced. "No more wars!" the crowd chanted.BERNIE SANDERS SAYS ISRAELI PM 'WRONG' BOTH IN THE PAST AND NOW: 'WE MUST NOT GET INVOLVED IN NETANYAHUS WAR'Trump added in the post: "All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter."BERNIE SANDERS SAYS LARGEST FIGHTING OLIGARCHY RALLY WITH AOC IS MAKING TRUMP, MUSK VERY NERVOUSSanders nodded along as the crowd continued to chant, "No more wars!" before responding to the news in real time.He said the news was not only "alarming," but "so grossly unconstitutional.""All of you know that the only entity that can take this country to war is the U.S. Congress. The president does not have the right," Sanders shouted.Sanders joins the bipartisan coalition in Congress who have called out the "unconstitutionality" of Trump striking Iran without congressional approval.A bipartisan War Powers Resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives this week as strikes between Israel and Iran raged on, and the world stood by to see if Trump would strike. Congress has the sole power to declare war under Article I of the Constitution.The War Powers Resolution seeks to "remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic State of Iran" and directs Trump to "terminate" the deployment of American troops against Iran without an "authorized declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military forces against Iran.""The American people do not want more war, more death!" Sanders said. "It might be a good idea if we concentrated on the problems that exist in Oklahoma and Vermont rather than getting involved in another war that the American people do not want."But Sanders told the crowd not to give up on their vision for America's future."In this moment in American history, what we have got to do in Vermont and Oklahoma, in Texas, all over this country, is stand up and fight back, and tell them this is our country!" Sanders said.Sanders has been a vocal opponent of the United States joining Israel in its war against Iran as Trump weighed striking its nuclear facilities."Netanyahu is not the President of the United States," Sanders said on social media earlier this week."He should not be determining U.S. foreign and military policy. If the people of Israel support his decision to start a war with Iran, that is their business and their war. The United States must not be a part of it," he added.The democratic socialist has been a vocal opponent of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's war against Gaza since Israel retaliated following Hamas' terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, 2023.After Israel launched preemptive strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities last week, Sanders said it was "just his latest violation of international law," likening Netanyahu to a "war criminal."The Vermont senator was speaking at his second rally of the day, part of his southern swing of the "Fighting Oligarchy" tour that Sanders started in response to Trump's sweeping second-term agenda.Rep. Greg Casar, D-Tx., and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Tx., are slated to join the Vermont senator at his rallies in Texas on Sunday.And Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., joined Sanders on his Western swing of the tour earlier this year.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe tour targets deep red districts currently held by Republicans, a strategy picked up by Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., who hosted town halls in Republican congressional districts, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) through their "People's Town Halls" across the United States.Sanders also held a rally in House Speaker Mike Johnson's hometown of Shreveport, La., on Saturday.

A top expert on the Iran nuclear program believes the regime's atomic program has been obliterated by Saturday nights strikes by the United States."The nuclear program is no longer," Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a "national security and foreign policy" think tank, told Fox News Digital."Sources in Israel report with high confidence that this chapter is over. Responsible parties must still remove nuclear materials from the facility in Isfahan. But that appears to be the final page to turn," he continued.President Donald Trump said during his address on Saturday night that "Irans key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."TRUMP DECLARES 'VERY SUCCESSFUL ATTACK' ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM AS US FORCES STRIKE 3 KEY SITESFox News reported earlier on that Isfahan was "the hardest target," according to a senior U.S. official."Everyone was talking about and focused on Fordow, but Isfahan was actually the hardest target," the official said on background. The U.S. used B-2 bombers to carry out the mission.A senior U.S. official also told Fox News that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu communicated after the strikes and that Israel had been informed ahead of time.ISRAELS ACTIONS AGAINST IRAN CREATE STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY FOR US IN NUCLEAR TALKS, EXPERTS SAYLisa Daftari, Iran expert and Editor-in-Chief of The Foreign Desk, told Fox News Digital, "Both Israeli and U.S. officials understand that anything less than total destruction of Irans nuclear infrastructure will only result in a temporary pause, not a permanent end. But to truly end Irans nuclear ambitions, the U.S. and its allies must commit to a campaignbeyond these targeted strikesbacked by sustained pressure, intelligence, and the credible threat of further action if Iran attempts to rebuild."To ensure the eradication of the regimes nuclear weapons capability, the U.S. must maintain persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to detect any attempts by Irans regime to disperse, hide or rebuild its nuclear infrastructure. This would be coupled with continued diplomatic isolation and strict multilateral sanctions blocking the regimes access to nuclear technology, materials and financing," she said.Trump announced that the U.S. had struck nuclear sites in Iran a major development amid rising tensions in the region, as Israel and Iran continued to launch airstrikes against each other."We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow," Trump posted to Truth Social on Saturday night."All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he continued.Fox News' Sean Hannity said on Saturday night that President Donald Trump had given him details on the U.S. strikes in Iran. According to the "Hannity" host, the U.S. used six bunker-buster bombs each of which weighs 15 tons in its strikes onIran's Fordow nuclear facility. The bombs were dropped from American B-2 stealth bombers.During a press conference on Sunday morning, the number of bunker busters used was updated to 14 by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lt. Gen. Dan Caine.ISRAEL SAYS IT KILLED IRANIAN COMMANDER WHO HELPED FUND, ARM HAMAS"President Trump took decisive leadership and action to eliminate the last vestiges of Iran's nuclear weapons program, after Israels sustained strikes, which seriously damaged the atomic weapons supply chain from uranium conversion to enrichment, and all the way to weaponization," Andrea Stricker, FDD's Director of Nonproliferation and Biological Weapons told Fox News Digital."While Tehran's program is likely set back by years, the United States and Israel need to ensure the regime's highly enriched uranium stockpiles and all secret advanced centrifuges are fully recovered and destroyed which means more work ahead," she added.Fordow had two entrances and one ventilation shaft, which likely served as the entrance points for the Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs).Additionally, 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. submarines were used in the attacks on the Nanatz and Isfahan facilities. There is speculation that the missiles were shot from an Ohio Class Submarine, but there has been no confirmation.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa, backed President Donald Trump's decision to have the United States attack three of Irans most fortified underground nuclear sites amid rapidly escalating tensions in the Middle East and intensifying Israeli and U.S. military operations against Iranian targets.Fetterman called the move "correct" in a post on X just minutes after Trump shared the news on Truth Social."As Ive long maintained, this was the correct move by@POTUS," Fetterman said. "Iran is the worlds leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. Im grateful for and salute the finest military in the world."TRUMP ADDRESSES NATION ON 'SPECTACULAR MILITARY SUCCESS' OF US STRIKES ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIESTRUMP DECLARES 'VERY SUCCESSFUL ATTACK' ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM AS US FORCES STRIKE 3 KEY SITESTrump declared the operation a "very successful attack" targeting Irans key nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan."We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, incluidng Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," Trump wrote in the announcement. "All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this."FAR LEFT, ANTI-ISRAEL VOICES DECRY TRUMP IRAN STRIKE, DISMISS IDEA HE'S 'ANTIWAR PRESIDENT'He concluded his statement with a call for de-escalation: "NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter."The overnight strike against Irans Fordow nuclear facility involved six bunker buster bombs, Trump told Fox News Sean Hannity Saturday night. Additionally, 30 Tomahawk missiles were launched from U.S. submarines in the attacks on Natanz and Isfahan facilities.The strike, marking a major escalation in an already volatile landscape, comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel to eradicate Iran's offensive missile capabilities.The extent of the damage caused to Irans nuclear infrastructure so far remains unclear.Fox News' Jasmine Baehr contributed to this report.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lt. Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine held a press conference from the Pentagon early Sunday morning to relay details on the U.S. military's successful strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities."Last night, on President Trump's orders, U.S. Central Command conducted a precision strike in the middle of the night against three nuclear facilities in Iran Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan in order to destroy or severely degrade Iran's nuclear program," Hegseth said Sunday morning from the Pentagon."It was an incredible and overwhelming success," Hegseth continued. "The order we received from our commander in chief was focused. It was powerful, and it was clear we devastated the Iranian nuclear program. But it's worth noting the operation did not target Iranian troops or the Iranian people for the entirety of his time in office."The press conference was held following President Donald Trump addressing the nation at 10 p.m. Saturday evening, just hours after he announced the successful strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities."The mission demonstrated to the world the level of joint and allied integration that speak to the strength of our alliance and our joint forces," Hegseth continued. "As President Trump has stated, the United States does not seek war, but let me be clear we will act swiftly and decisively when our people, our partners or our interests are threatened. Iran should listen to the United States and know that he means it."Caine addressed the media and explained the strikes, dubbed "Operation Midnight Hammer," included the use of submarines, dozens of Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles, and the "longest B-2 spirit bomber mission since 2001.""At approximately 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time last night and just prior to the strike package entering Iran, a U.S. submarine in the Central Command area of responsibility launched more than two dozen Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles against key surface infrastructure targets as often as the Operation Midnight Hammer strike package entered Iranian airspace. The U.S. employed several deception tactics," Caine said."This was a highly classified mission with very few people in Washington knowing the timing or nature of this plan, I'll refer you to the graphic on the side as I walk you through some of the operational details. At midnight Friday into Saturday morning, a large B-2 strike package comprised of bombers launched from the continental United States as part of the plan to maintain tactical surprise. Part of the package proceeded to the west and into the Pacific as a decoy. A deception effort, known only to an extremely small number of planners and key leaders here in Washington and in Tampa," he continued.TRUMP ADDRESSES NATION ON 'SPECTACULAR MILITARY SUCCESS' OF US STRIKES ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIESTrump announced the U.S. had struck a trio of nuclear facilities in Iran via a Truth Social post Saturday evening, that was not preceded by any media leaks of prior indication such strikes were imminent.The president ordered U.S. B-2 stealth bombers to carry out the strikes against Irans Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities.Five to six bunker-buster bombs struck the Fordow nuclear site, Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity shortly after announcing the strikes Saturday night.The Isfahan facility, like Fordow, is believed to be built underground, and required precision targeting and extensive intelligence to successfully strike, Fox News has reported. Meanwhile, thirty Tomahawk missiles were fired against Natanz and Isfahan from U.S. submarines.Trump later addressed the nation from the White House while flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, where he announced Iran's nuclear facilities had been "obliterated" and that the country has been backed into a corner and "must now make peace."TRUMP DECLARES 'VERY SUCCESSFUL ATTACK' ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM AS US FORCES STRIKE 3 KEY SITES"Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated," Trump said. "And Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not. future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier."Trump had repeatedly urged Iran to make a deal on its nuclear program before striking its nuclear facilities, but the country pulled out of ongoing talks with the U.S. scheduled for June 15 in Oman and refused to return to the table in the days following. Israel preemptively ordered strikes on Iran June 12 as Israeli intelligence indicated Iran's nuclear program was rapidly progressing."A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan," Trump said during his address. "Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity, and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success."TRUMP PROMISES TO RESPOND WITH 'FULL STRENGTH AND MIGHT' OF US MILITARY IF IRAN ATTACKS AMERICA"For 40 years, Iran has been saying, Death to America. Death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs," Trump continued. "That was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate in particular."The president said that the U.S. worked like a team with Israel in the lead-up to the strikes"I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team, like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades," he said.Israel launched pre-emptive strikes on Iran June 12 after months of attempted and stalled nuclear negotiations and subsequent heightened concern that Iran was advancing its nuclear program. Netanyahu declared soon afterward that the strikes were necessary to "roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival."The Saturday evening strikes were unexpected on Saturday evening, as Trump on Thursday said he would make a decision on Iran within the next two weeks, suggesting such a strike would not unfold over the weekend. While six B-2 bombers that were spotted heading west from Missouri toward Guam on Saturday afternoon were decoys and part of the "misleading tidbits put out there to suggest that maybe President Trump had had put off the decision," Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin said during an appearance Saturday evening as news broke of the strikes."Those six B-2 bombers that were heading west toward Guam, they would not have made it to Iran in time to take part in this strike," she said while speaking with Fox News' Bret Baier Saturday evening. "So, that suggests to me that there was an additional B-1 package that perhaps flew eastward from Whiteman Air Force Base. Again, this was all part of the deception. There was a great deal of sort of misleading tidbits put out there to suggest that maybe President Trump had put off the decision and that this would happen two weeks from now."Trump earned bipartisan praise from Congressional lawmakers for taking action to prevent Iran, the worlds leading sponsor of terrorism, from achieving nuclear capabilities.Other members of Congress, however, simultaneously criticized Trump for not asking for Congressional approval ahead of the military strikes and raised concerns of the risk of war.ISRAELS ACTIONS AGAINST IRAN CREATE STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY FOR US IN NUCLEAR TALKS, EXPERTS SAYIran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has yet to comment on the strikes. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, however, said that diplomacy is an unlikely option in the wake of the U.S. strikes."Last week, we were in negotiations with the US when Israel decided to blow up that diplomacy. This week, we held talks with the E3/EU when the US decided to blow up that diplomacy," Araghchi wrote on X. "What conclusion would you draw?"Araghchi said hell travel to Moscow later Sunday to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom Iran enjoys "a strategic partnership."

Americans are now used to hearing chants of "globalize the intifada" in American cities and campuses. It has become so normalized that even a leading mayoral candidate in New York City feels comfortable downplaying the phrase as an expression of "a desperate desire for equality and equal rights." That is jarring enough. But as evidence mounts of an actual intifada an anti-Israel, Jew-hating terror campaign, waged on our shores it is past time to take those demonstrations, and their rhetoric, seriously. A movement that foments attacks against Jews and Israel-supporters is not a harmless expression of solidarity with Gaza. Yet, many Americans contextualize anti-Jewish violence within the framework of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and, in particular, Israels war on Hamas. That misses the point. There is a contingent of people in this country who despise Jews and Israel, seek to destroy both, and were simply waiting for an excuse to act on their hatred. Israelis know what an intifada really means, because they lived it, twice. It was when every cafe, bus and nightclub in Israel was made a target for gruesome attacks against civilians. Now, Americans are learning what it looks like when "globalized." 'GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA' PHRASE STIRS TENSIONS ON NYC CAMPAIGN TRAIL AS MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT RAGESPennsylvania Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro had to evacuate his family in the middle of the night on Passover because an anti-Israel lunatic firebombed his house, ranting about the governors support for Israel. In Washington, DC, in May, a radical activist chanting "Free Palestine" allegedly executed two Israeli embassy staffers leaving an American Jewish Committee event.Most recently, in Boulder, Colo., a foreign national who has been living here illegally since 2023 launched a fiery attack on demonstrators who were calling for the release of the hostages being held by Hamas. The attacker told investigators "he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead" and that he had researched and planned the attack for more than a year, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.Rather than raise a national conversation about the violent anti-Israel, Jew-hating movement, these incidents disappear into broader discussions of "antisemitism and Islamophobia" rising due to the war in Gaza. Its as if violence against American Jews is some kind of natural outcome of Israels quest to free the hostages Hamas holds in brutal conditions and destroy Hamas, a terror group bent on destroying Israel. THE GLOBAL INTIFADA IS HERE. HAMAS-ALIGNED NETWORKS BROUGHT TERROR TO US SOIL AND WE NEED TO STOP ITAs a former envoy to the Middle East, I know the difference between a genuine peace movement and one that merely serves as a cover for chaos, violence and murder. But it doesnt take an expert to see which one the globalized intifada is. Calls for "intifada" to "free Palestine from the river to the sea by any means necessary" were always incompatible with characterizing these as "anti-war," "pro-ceasefire" protests, or a movement for "Palestinian rights," peace or a so-called "two-state solution." The movement has never been about establishing a Palestinian state. Its about destroying Israel because, the movements adherents fundamentally believe, Jews are not legitimate sovereigns in the land of Israel. The movements ideology licenses its adherents to take extreme measures to destroy Israel, including targeting Jews and Israel supporters worldwide.Treating anti-Jewish attacks as unfortunate byproducts of geopolitical tensions reveals a dangerous misunderstanding of how antisemitism operates. Jew-hatred doesnt emerge from policy disagreements; its an ancient prejudice that adapts to contemporary circumstances.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONMedieval Europeans blamed Jews for the plague. Twentieth-century fascists blamed them for economic collapse. Todays antisemites target Jews around the world because Israel exists. The global intifada is just a rebranded version of a very old hatred. And its not just a Jewish problem. The global intifada does not care who it harms in its quest. ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE ERUPTS IN AMERICA AS SOME INVOKE INTIFADA AND TARGET JEWSOne way we can contain the problem is by keeping the intifada out. Some international students and some immigrants who were indoctrinated to hate Jews and Israel have imported intolerable bigotry. President Donald Trump deserves credit for having highlighted this issue long ago, recognizing that violent individuals crossing our borders pose a threat to our country, Jews and non-Jews alike. But of late, the threat to Jews has become very significant. Its alarming that these terrorists got as far as they did, and it is highly likely that there are more radicals just like them biding their time. Effective anti-intifada strategy requires deporting aliens who support violence and keeping them out in the first place. Hopefully by now we clearly see the danger. Anti-Jewish violence even when cloaked as "anti-Zionist" is not political discourse. Calling to "globalize" a campaign of civilian murder and mayhem is not part of a political debate. Targeting individuals with violence due to who they are or what they believe is a violation of every principle we hold sacred.Those who chant "globalize the intifada" have told us exactly who they are and what they intend its time we paid attention and connected the dots.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM JASON GREENBLATT

Israel recovered the bodies of three more hostages held by Hamas following the terror group's attack on Israel in October 2023.The remains of the three hostages were recovered by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during a special operation on Saturday and have been identified as Ofra Keidar, Yonatan Samerano and Shay Levinson, according to the Hostages and Missing Families Forum Headquarters."Our hearts are with the Keidar, Samerano, and Levinson families today," the organization said. "Alongside the grief and pain, their return provides some comfort to the families who have waited in agony, uncertainty and doubt for 625 days."The group added that the return of all hostages is essential for national healing and recovery.ISRAELI HOSTAGE FAMILIES MAKE DESPERATE PLEA TO TRUMP AS 'TIME IS RUNNING OUT'The Israeli Defense Forces also confirmed that the three hostages' remains had been recovered from Gaza. The bodies of Keidar, Samerano, and Levinson were recovered during a special operation carried out by the IDF and the Israel Security Agency (ISA) on Saturday.The IDF credited "precise intelligence received from the ISA, the Hostage Task Force, and the IDF Intelligence Directorate" and said it extends "condolences to the families and will continue to make all efforts possible to bring home all the hostages."Keidar, a resident of Kibbutz Beeri, was kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023, by Hamas terrorists "while taking her usual morning walk through the fields she loved," according to the Hostage Families Forum.She worked on a dairy farm for 30 years, caring for newborn calves and "was a dedicated worker with exceptional physical strength," the organization said."Later, she moved to the local petting zoo, where she worked for 15 years, and even after reaching retirement age, she never slowed down.""Anyone who visited her home could see her greatest loves, aside from her family her dogs, especially poodles, and tending to her garden and houseplants," the forum added.The IDF noted that Keidar, who was 71 at the time of her death, "was a mother of three and the wife of Shmuel Keidar, who was also murdered by Hamas terrorists in their home in Beeri."HAMAS AGREES TO RETURN BODIES OF 4 ISRAELI HOSTAGES IN EXCHANGE FOR HUNDREDS OF PALESTINIAN PRISONERSSamerano, who was 21 at the time of his death, "was brutally murdered and abducted from Kibbutz Beeri on October 7, 2023, by Hamas terrorists, including a UNRWA employee, after fleeing the Nova music festival," according to the IDF.Yonatan, or "Yonati" as his friends and family called him, "was always surrounded by friends a talented DJ who just wanted to make music, bring joy, and travel," the Hostage Families Forum said."Even at his young age, he was an entrepreneur at heart and a savvy businessman who dreamed of developing his career in event production."Levinson, a staff sergeant and tank commander in the "Oz" (77) Battalion, "engaged and fought terrorists on the morning of October 7 and fell in combat," according to the IDF."He was then abducted by Hamas terrorists."Levinson, who was 19 years old at the time of his death, is remembered as "a quiet and exceptional young man ambitious and driven, who pushed himself to excel in sports and every field that interested him," the Hostage Families Forum said."Shay, a resident of Givat Avni in the Lower Galilee, was an outstanding player on the M.S. Eilabun volleyball team a team that serves as a model for Jewish-Arab cooperation," according to the organization."Shay chose to forgo the opportunity to receive active athlete status and instead chose meaningful combat service in the IDF."

A 50-year fight to put abortion back in the hands of states ended three years ago with the Supreme Courts landmark Dobbs decision, but the pro-life movement is now grappling with a new reality abortion remains prevalent.Since securing the legal victory, abortion opponents concentration has become more fragmented as they contend with evidence that abortions have not decreased and could even be on the rise.Their next big challenges, they say, include neutering the nations largest abortion vendor, Planned Parenthood, by targeting its funding. Restricting access to pills that terminate pregnancies is another top priority, as is investing in their preferred political candidates and ballot measures.Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America, told Fox News Digital in an interview that Dobbs prompted a "revolution," but she acknowledged that "there is a lot of work to do." She noted the Charlotte Lozier Institute found that abortions increased in the year after Dobbs and that at least 1.1 million occurred from July 2023 to June 2024.MICHELLE OBAMA FACING BACKLASH OVER CLAIM ABOUT WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH"People can sort of assume or just forget how big a moment [Dobbs] is. . . . It is shaking up and realigning public opinion based on where they really stand, so building consensus," Dannenfelser said. "It would be false to think that it could happen overnight, and were still right in the middle of it."She said she feels the prospect of defunding Planned Parenthood through a broader reconciliation bill in Congress is "strong." The measure would prohibit Medicaid funds for entities that perform abortions outside of rape, incest, and a threat to a mothers life.Planned Parenthood said in a statement in May, after the bill passed the Republican-led House, that the provision would eliminate other services besides abortion and could cause about 200 of its roughly 600 locations to shutter."If this bill passes, people will lose access to essential, often lifesaving care cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing, and yes, abortion," the organization said in a statement at the time.In 2021, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) eliminated a requirement that a customer must appear in person to receive mifepristone, the pill used to end a pregnancy. The pills became available by mail, and they are now being shipped all over the country from various organizations, including to most of the states that have abortion bans in place."The abortion drugs that are being proliferated by big abortion and Planned Parenthood is a direct assault on the sovereignty of states," Dannenfelser said, noting that "the people of half the states have said this is the pro-life law that we want, so in order to undermine that and press their agenda, the abortion lobby is promoting abortion tourism across state lines."SENATOR INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO REIN IN WIDELY USED, CONTROVERSIAL ABORTION PILLDannenfelser also said her group, which, alongside its campaign fundraising arm, poured $92 million into the 2024 election cycle, is focused on next year's midterm races. She noted she wants to maintain a "trifecta of pro-life administration, House and Senate."But some of those hoping to eliminate abortion say the current administration could do more to help their bottom line.President Donald Trump granted clemency when he took office to nearly two dozen activists who were convicted of blocking abortion clinic entrances, and the president often touts that he appointed three justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.But in terms of the abortion pill, the Trump administration recently moved to dismiss a case in court aiming to tighten FDA restrictions on mifepristone. Trump has vowed to have Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is openly supportive of abortion access, conduct a study of the pill.Katie Xavios, the national director of the American Life League, told Fox News Digital that she believes Trump "really hasn't been the staunchest pro-life advocate."TRUMP ADMIN CONTINUES BIDEN DEFENSE OF ABORTION DRUG MIFEPRISTONE, ASKS COURT TO DISMISS LAWSUITShe said mifepristone distribution has "no guardrails." Dozens of organizations now offer easy access to the pill. Xavios said abortions-by-mail have become the "wild west," and that the government would have to work aggressively to contain it at this point."I don't think we'll ever see anybody take that away unless we can really get a very truly pro-life person in office," Xavios said.American Life League is a Catholic grassroots organization, and Xavios said one of her group's efforts is to instill values in children that would lead them to opt against abortion if they were faced with the decision in adulthood.Dobbs was not the win for her side that people have framed it to be, she said."I think we're still kind of seeing the reverberations of that a little bit in the movement, where a lot of people are struggling to find a new legal fight," Xavios said. "But I think the real issue that we're left with is it doesn't matter if it's legal or not if people don't really respect and value the dignity of the pre-born."

FIRST ON FOX: Senate Majority Leader John Thune is weathering headwinds in his own conference over outstanding concerns in President Donald Trumps "big, beautiful bill" that threaten to derail the legislation, but hes taking it in stride and standing firm that the megabill will make it to the president's desk by July 4."We have to hit it, and you know whether that means it's the end of next week, or whether we roll into that Fourth of July week," the South Dakota Republican told Fox News Digital during an interview from his leadership suite."But if we have to go into that week, we will," he continued. "I think it's that important. And you know what I've seen around here, at least in the past, my experience, if there's no deadline, things tend to drag on endlessly."TOP TRUMP ALLY PREDICTS SENATE WILL BLOW PAST 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' DEADLINESenate Republicans have been working on their version of Trumps mammoth bill, which includes priorities to make his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, sweeping changes to healthcare, Biden-era energy credits and deep spending cuts, among others, since the beginning of June.Now that each portion of the bill has been released, Thune is eyeing having the bill on the floor by the middle of next week. But, he still has to wrangle disparate factions within the Senate GOP to get on board with the bill."It is a work in progress," Thune said. "It's, you know, sometimes it's kind of incremental baby steps."A cohort of fiscal hawks, led by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., are unhappy with the level of spending cuts in the bill. Some Senate Republicans want to achieve at least $2 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade, but Johnson has remained firm in his belief that the bill should go deeper and return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic spending levels.Others, including Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, are upset with tweaks to Medicaid, and the impact those changes could have on rural hospitals and working people on the healthcare programs benefit rolls.'IT JUST BAFFLES ME': SENATE REPUBLICANS SOUND ALARM OVER MEDICAID CHANGES, SPENDING IN TRUMP MEGABILLThune has to strike a precarious balancing act to sate the concerns of his conference, given that he can only afford to lose three votes. Its a reality he acknowledged and described as trying to find "the sweet spot" where he can advance the bill back to the House.Hes been meeting with the factions individually, communicating with the White House and working to "make sure everybody's rolling in the same direction.""Everybody has different views about how to do that, but in the end, it's cobbling together the necessary 51 votes, so we're working with anybody who is offering feedback," he said.Collins and others are working on the side to create a provider relief fund that could offer a salve to the lingering issues about the crackdown on the Medicaid provider rate tax in the bill.The Senate Finance Committee went further than the Houses freeze of the provider tax rate, or the amount that state Medicaid programs pay to healthcare providers on behalf of Medicaid beneficiaries, for non-Affordable Care Act expansion states, and included a provision that lowers the rate in expansion states annually until it hits 3.5%."We're going to do everything we can to make sure that, for example, rural hospitals have some additional assistance to sort of smooth that transition," Thune said.BLUE STATE REPUBLICANS THREATEN REVOLT AGAINST TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' IF SENATE CHANGES KEY TAX RULEThune, who is a member of the Finance panel, noted that "we all agree that the provider tax has been gamed" and "abused" by blue states like New York and California, and argued that the changes were done to help "right the ship" in the program."I think that's why the sort of off-ramp, soft-landing approach [from] the Finance committee makes sense, but these are substantial changes," he said. "But on the other hand, if we don't start doing some things to reform and strengthen these programs, these programs aren't going to be around forever, because we're not going to be able to afford them."The Senates product wont be the end of the reconciliation process, however. The changes in the bill will have to be green-lit by the House, and one change in particular to the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap already has a cohort of blue state House Republicans furious and threatening to kill the bill.The Senates bill, for now, left the cap unchanged at $10,000 from the policy ushered in by Trumps first-term tax cuts, a figure that Senate Republicans view as a placeholder while negotiations continue.Indeed, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., is working with members of the SALT caucus in the House to find a compromise on the cap. But the appetite to keep the House-passed $40,000 cap isnt strong in the Senate. "The passion in the Senate is as strong as it is in the House against changing the current policy and law in a way that favors high-tax states to the detriment and disadvantage of low tax states," he said. "And so it's the emotion that you see in the House side on that particular issue is matched in the Senate in a different direction."Meanwhile, as negotiations continue behind the scenes on ways to address issues among Senate Republicans, the Senate Parliamentarian is currently chunking through each section of the greater "big, beautiful bill."The parliamentarians role is to determine whether policies within each section of the bill comport with the Byrd Rule, which is the arcane set of parameters that govern the budget reconciliation process.Thune has made clear that he would not overrule that parliamentarian on Trumps megabill, and re-upped that position once more. The reconciliation process gives either party in power the opportunity to pass legislation on party lines and skirt the Senate filibuster, but it has to adhere to the Byrd Rules requirements that policy deals with spending and revenue.However, he countered that Senate Republicans planned to take a page from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., when Democrats rammed former President Joe Bidens agenda through Congress."The Democrats with the [Inflation Reduction Act] and [American Rescue Plan Act], for that matter, they dramatically expanded the scope of reconciliation and what's eligible for consideration," he said."So, we've used that template, and we're pushing as hard as we can to make sure that it allows us to accomplish our agenda, or at least as much of our agenda as possible, and fit within the parameters of what's allowed," he continued.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine held a press conference from the Pentagon early Sunday morning to relay details on the U.S. military's successful strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities."Last night, on President Trump's orders, U.S. Central Command conducted a precision strike in the middle of the night against three nuclear facilities in Iran Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan in order to destroy or severely degrade Iran's nuclear program," Hegseth said Sunday morning from the Pentagon."It was an incredible and overwhelming success," Hegseth continued. "The order we received from our commander in chief was focused. It was powerful, and it was clear we devastated the Iranian nuclear program. But it's worth noting the operation did not target Iranian troops or the Iranian people for the entirety of his time in office."The press conference was held following President Donald Trump addressing the nation at 10 p.m. Saturday evening, just hours after he announced the successful strikes on a trio of Iranian nuclear facilities."The mission demonstrated to the world the level of joint and allied integration that speak to the strength of our alliance and our joint forces," Hegseth continued. "As President Trump has stated, the United States does not seek war, but let me be clear we will act swiftly and decisively when our people, our partners or our interests are threatened. Iran should listen to the United States and know that he means it."Caine addressed the media and explained the strikes, dubbed "Operation Midnight Hammer," included the use of submarines, dozens of Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles, and the "longest B-2 spirit bomber mission since 2001.""At approximately 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time last night and just prior to the strike package entering Iran, a U.S. submarine in the Central Command area of responsibility launched more than two dozen Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles against key surface infrastructure targets as often as the Operation Midnight Hammer strike package entered Iranian airspace," Caine said. "The U.S. employed several deception tactics.""This was a highly classified mission with very few people in Washington knowing the timing or nature of this plan," he continued. "I'll refer you to the graphic on the side as I walk you through some of the operational details. At midnight Friday into Saturday morning, a large B-2 strike package comprised of bombers launched from the continental United States as part of the plan to maintain tactical surprise. Part of the package proceeded to the west and into the Pacific as a decoy. A deception effort, known only to an extremely small number of planners and key leaders here in Washington and in Tampa."TRUMP ADDRESSES NATION ON 'SPECTACULAR MILITARY SUCCESS' OF US STRIKES ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIESTrump announced the U.S. had struck a trio of nuclear facilities in Iran via a Saturday evening Truth Social post, which was not preceded by any media leaks of prior indication such strikes were imminent.The president ordered U.S. B-2 stealth bombers to carry out the strikes against Irans Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities.Five to six bunker-buster bombs struck the Fordow nuclear site, Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity shortly after announcing the Saturday night strikes.Trump later addressed the nation from the White House while flanked by Vice President JD Vance, Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, where he announced Iran's nuclear facilities had been "obliterated" and that the country has been backed into a corner and "must now make peace."TRUMP DECLARES 'VERY SUCCESSFUL ATTACK' ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM AS US FORCES STRIKE 3 KEY SITES"Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated," Trump said. "And Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not. future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier."Trump repeatedly had urged Iran to make a deal on its nuclear program before striking its nuclear facilities, but the country pulled out of ongoing talks with the U.S. scheduled for June 15 in Oman and refused to return to the table in the days following. Israel preemptively ordered strikes on Iran June 12 as Israeli intelligence indicated Iran's nuclear program was rapidly progressing."A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan," Trump said during his address. "Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity, and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success."TRUMP PROMISES TO RESPOND WITH 'FULL STRENGTH AND MIGHT' OF US MILITARY IF IRAN ATTACKS AMERICA"For 40 years, Iran has been saying, Death to America. Death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs," Trump continued. "That was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate in particular."The president said that the U.S. worked like a team with Israel in the lead-up to the strikes"I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu," he said. "We worked as a team, like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades."Caine told the media that the strikes on Saturday evening were U.S.-led, while lauding Israel for its initial operations "degrading Iranian capabilities.""Israel had an incredible military success, especially at the beginning and ongoing in degrading Iranian capabilities, degrading Iranian launchers," reusable ballistic missiles, Caine said. "It's been incredible to watch what our ally Israel has been able to do.""But as it pertains to this strike, this was U.S.-operated and U.S.-led," he added. "We took advantage of some of the preparatory work that's been done over the past week and a half."Hegseth underscored Trump is focused on securing peace in the Middle East following the strikes."As the president put put out last night, he wants peace. There needs to be a negotiated settlement here. We ultimately demonstrated that Iran cannot have a nuclear capability. That is a very clear mission set on this operation," Hegseth said.Israel launched pre-emptive strikes on Iran June 12 after months of attempted and stalled nuclear negotiations and subsequent heightened concern that Iran was advancing its nuclear program. Netanyahu declared soon afterward that the strikes were necessary to "roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival."The strikes were unexpected on Saturday evening, as Trump on Thursday said he would make a decision on Iran within the next two weeks, suggesting such a strike would not unfold over the weekend. While six B-2 bombers that were spotted heading west from Missouri toward Guam on Saturday afternoon were decoys and part of the "misleading tidbits put out there to suggest that maybe President Trump had had put off the decision," Fox News Chief National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin said during an appearance Saturday evening as news broke of the strikes."Those six B-2 bombers that were heading west toward Guam, they would not have made it to Iran in time to take part in this strike," she said while speaking with Fox News' Bret Baier Saturday evening. "So, that suggests to me that there was an additional B-1 package that perhaps flew eastward from Whiteman Air Force Base. Again, this was all part of the deception. There was a great deal of sort of misleading tidbits put out there to suggest that maybe President Trump had put off the decision and that this would happen two weeks from now."Trump earned bipartisan praise from Congressional lawmakers for taking action to prevent Iran, the worlds leading sponsor of terrorism, from achieving nuclear capabilities.Other members of Congress, however, simultaneously criticized Trump for not asking for Congressional approval ahead of the military strikes and raised concerns of the risk of war.ISRAELS ACTIONS AGAINST IRAN CREATE STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY FOR US IN NUCLEAR TALKS, EXPERTS SAYIran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has yet to comment on the strikes. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, however, said that diplomacy is an unlikely option in the wake of the U.S. strikes."Last week, we were in negotiations with the US when Israel decided to blow up that diplomacy. This week, we held talks with the E3/EU when the US decided to blow up that diplomacy," Araghchi wrote on X. "What conclusion would you draw?"Araghchi said hell travel to Moscow later on Sunday to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom Iran enjoys "a strategic partnership."Hegseth said on Sunday during the press conference that correspondence with Iran is being conducted both publicly and privately to come to the and make a deal for peace."I can only confirm that there are both public and private messages being directly delivered to the Iranians in multiple channels, giving them every opportunity to come to the table. They understand precisely what the American position is. Precisely, what steps they can take to allow for peace," the secretary of defense said. "And we hope they do so."
