You don't really expect them to work for their six figure salary do you? It's bad enough being forced to wear a tie. Just ask the wrestling coach.
Matt Gaetz should maybe take a long trip to a country with no extradition.

Trump just committed textbook treason. We are members of NATO. An attack on them is an attack on us.

During the European Convention at Harvard University, Péter Szijártó, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, was presented with a gift—a fragment of a destroyed Russian tank from the battle for Kyiv in Ukraine. Oleksiy Prokopenko, head of the humanitarian fund HUCUS at Harvard, presented the war artifact to the official.
Prokopenko emphasized the significance of the gift, stating, "It was made in Russia, burned and processed in Ukraine. Wear this keyring on your house keys to remember what Russian terror is like, if you have forgotten the murders of Hungarians and Soviet tanks on the streets of Budapest in 1956."
He continued by cautioning against fostering close ties with Russia, warning, "Being friends with Russia is like betraying your children. Because today they are smiling at you, and tomorrow they will shoot your families."

Today I spent the entire day in meetings with military leadership and the Government. We continue to reboot the management team in the Armed Forces. Now, people who are well-known in the army and who themselves know well what the army needs are taking on new responsibilities. Combat commanders of this war, whose experience will be useful at the all-army level.
Colonel Vadym Sukharevskyi – his focus is on unmanned systems and the development of utilization of drones by our soldiers, and Colonel Andriy Lebedenko – his focus is on innovation, specifically the technology component of the army and combat systems – have been appointed deputies of Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi. Clear practice with new technologies is needed.
Brigadier General Volodymyr Horbatiuk – his focus is on operational work, staff work, planning, management, in every staff, they must fully understand the front, Brigadier General Oleksiy Shevchenko – his focus is on logistics, ensuring maximum quality of logistics in our army, and Brigadier General Mykhailo Drapatyi – he will be responsible for the quality training of our military – have been approved as deputies of the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
All the real-life experience of combat commanders, combat brigades, our units, who have built a quality training system for soldiers and evaluation and analysis of combat actions – all this experience must be implemented for the success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Glory to all our warriors!
Glory to our people! Glory to Ukraine!
🔴 Joint IDF and ISA announcement:
A significant underground Hamas intelligence asset and weapons inside offices—These findings were found within UNRWA facilities
Over the last two weeks, IDF and ISA forces have been conducting a division-level targeted raid on terror targets in northern and central Gaza.
The forces operated in the areas of Shati and Tel al-Hawa in northern Gaza. Approximately 120 Hamas terrorists were killed and 20 terrorist infrastructure sites were destroyed as part of the operation.
Following ISA intelligence, the forces arrived at a tunnel shaft near an UNRWA school. The shaft led to an underground terror tunnel that served as a significant asset of Hamas' military intelligence and passed under the building that serves as UNRWA's main headquarters in the Gaza Strip.
The tunnel was 700 meters long and 18 meters deep and contained several blast doors. A wide variety of intelligence assets were seized during the operation. The newly-found intelligence will allow the forces to operate against additional Hamas targets. The dismantling of the tunnel weakens Hamas' intelligence capabilities.
The forces located electrical infrastructure inside the tunnel connected to UNRWA's main headquarters, under which the underground tunnel was located, indicating that UNRWA's facilities supplied the tunnel with electricity.
Following these findings and based on preliminary ISA intelligence, the forces conducted a targeted raid on UNRWA’s central headquarters, which contains offices for various humanitarian and international organizations. Large quantities of weapons were found inside the rooms of the building, including rifles, ammunition, grenades and explosives. Intelligence and documents discovered in the offices of UNRWA officials confirmed that the offices had in fact also been used by Hamas terrorists.

🟠 UNRWA did not know what is under its headquarters in Gaza.
- UNRWA is made aware of reports through the media regarding a tunnel under the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza.
- UNRWA staff left its headquarters in Gaza City on 12 October following the Israeli evacuation orders and as bombardment intensified in the area.
- We have not used that compound since we left it nor are we aware of any activity that may have taken place there.
- We understand, through media reporting, that the Israeli Army has deployed troops within the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza City.
- We are therefore unable to confirm or otherwise comment on these reports.
- In times of “no active conflict” UNRWA inspects inside its premises every quarter, the last inspection for the UNRWA Gaza premises was completed in September 2023.
- UNRWA is a Human development and humanitarian organisation that does not have the military and security expertise nor the capacity to undertake military inspections of what is or might be under its premises.
- In the past, whenever suspicious cavity was found close to or under UNRWA premises, protest letters were promptly filed to parties to the conflict, including both the de facto authorities in Gaza (Hamas) and the Israeli authorities. The matter was consistently reported in annual reports presented to the General Assembly and made public.
- These recent media reports merit an independent inquiry that is currently not possible to undertake given Gaza is an active war zone.
- The Israeli Authorities have not informed UNRWA officially about the alleged tunnel.
