A CNN crew reporting on Israeli settlements in the West Bank in Palestine was detained by IDF soldiers on Friday. 

The reporters say they were put in a chokehold after they and several Palestinian residents were approached by armed troops.

According to the Jerusalem Post,

The CNN team was interviewing Palestinian residents of the West Bank town of Tayasir after settlers established an outpost in the town and violently attacked residents.

While conducting interviews on camera, IDF soldiers ordered the team and the Palestinians to stop speaking and aimed their weapons at the group, according to the CNN reporters present.

Video from the incident shows the reporters being approached and detained.

The full report from CNN features the outposts established by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and stories of the violent attacks from Palestinian residents.

The clip further shows CNN Jerusalem correspondent Jeremy Diamond speaking with IDF soldiers, one of whom tells him, “We are here because this is our place… The land is ours.” When asked if all of the West Bank belongs to Israelis, the soldier replies, “Of course, and not just for the soldiers, for the jews.”

Another soldier details the alleged murder of an 18-year-old Israeli settler by a Palestinian, saying they are exacting revenge against the residents in the West Bank.

The soldier, Meir, later tells  Diamond that while the settlement in Tayasir is not legal, “it will be… slowly.” He agrees that it will be legal thanks to the IDF and his presence, saying, “Of course … I help my people.”

“Meir is describing the settler playbook, and the role Israeli soldiers often play in propping it up,” Diamond says in his report. “The Israeli military did not respond to CNN’s questions about soldiers’ conduct in the West Bank, including our detention. Amid the war with Iran, those efforts are intensifying, with at least four outposts established this week alone, land often taken with the blood of Palestinians,” he continues.

The IDF did provide a statement to CNN, writing, “The actions and behavior of the soldiers in the incident are incompatible with what is expected of IDF soldiers operating in the Judea and Samaria area.”

More details have emerged regarding Pam Bondi’s sudden firing as Attorney General, and they do not reflect well on her at all.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Bondi’s employment was terminated in a surprising shakeup and replaced in the interim by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Bondi will transition to another role in the Trump Administration.

The president has reportedly discussed replacing Bondi with EPA Chief Lee Zeldin.

This news came following reports that Trump was mulling firing Bondi over her handling of the Epstein file release.

Now, the Daily Mail reveals that a senior administration source told them that Trump actually informed Bondi during their meeting that she was fired.

Bondi responded by begging Trump not to fire her and to give her additional time in the role.

The president, however, remained firm.

The Mail also reveals a stunning final detail that proved to be Trump’s final straw with Bondi.

The president believes that Bondi gave Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-China) a heads-up about the FBI trying to release documents related to his romantic relationship with Chinese spy Christine Fang.

The senior administration source also told the Mail that Bondi was intervening in the matter.

Moreover, Bondi is reportedly FRIENDS with Swalwell. Friends with one of the most odious Democrats in America.

From The Daily Mail:

Trump’s reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI’s efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.

The FBI was preparing a cache of documents on Swalwell’s relationship with Christine Fang.

“She’s intervening in those matters. The White House wasn’t pleased she was intervening due to her personal friendship with Swalwell,” the source added.

It is unclear why Bondi would have intervened, but it is believed that Bondi and Swalwell have a friendly relationship.

If this is all true, how did the administration miss it?

US Reportedly in Secret Talks With Denmark to Significantly Boost Military Presence in Greenland

The US National Security concerns about the Arctic will be addressed, one way or another.

And so, we’ve come to the point where a lot seems to have changed regarding the situation of the Arctic island of Greenland.

On the one hand, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called snap elections, trying to use her resistance to Donald J. Trump’s designs on Greenland to guarantee another term, but in the end, she had the worst voting for her dominant party in a century.

So, now Frederiksen has renounced and is working as a caretaker PM, while she negotiates with other parties, hoping to remain at the helm.

Meanwhile, the US is involved in a high-stakes military operation in Iran, and Trump has told anyone who’ll listen that ‘Cuba is next’ – so, maybe this is not the ideal moment to seize Greenland and deal with the potential military reaction by former Euro-Globalist ‘allies’.

So, perhaps it is not so surprising that the US began ‘secret talks’ with Denmark to ‘increase its military presence’ in Greenland.

Washington is reportedly seeking access to three bases to set up airfields and ports.

The Telegraph reported:

“The talks are being held under a 1951 defense pact between Denmark and the United States that allows the latter to build and expand military sites in Greenland, a Danish overseas territory.”

“Pituffik Space Base is currently the sole US military base in Greenland, on its north-west coast. Operating since the 1951 US-Denmark treaty, it is central to the US early warning and missile defense as well as space surveillance.

Lt-Cdr Teresa C Meadows, a US Northern Command spokesman, said the US wished to expand bases near the southern town of Narsarsuaq and Kangerlussuaq, in the western region.”

Another TDS Meltdown: James Carville Makes Ominous Promise-After Mid-terms, Democrats Will Go After Trump’s ‘Kids and Their Spouses’ (Video)

Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville, fresh from a recent insane TDS-induced meltdown, has issued an ominous promise to President Trump and his family. After the midterms, Democrats will go after Trump’s ‘stupid jackass kids and their spouses.’

Carville also fantasized about violence against the President.

Carville made the threat on his podcast “Politicon.”

“Listen to me, Trump,” he warned. “I’m gonna tell your fat fucking ass something. You’re getting ready to get the living crap kicked out of you. You don’t know, because they haven’t really told you.”

“Let me tell you something. They’re gonna, they’re gonna start breaking the news to you kind of gently. And you’re gonna sit there and wonder what it feels like to be punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson. But you won’t know. Because it’s quite one thing to imagine what it’s like to get punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson. It’s another thing to actually get punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson.”

“And that’s what’s going to happen to you in November.”

“Now let me tell you about, let’s talk about your future, your post-November future.”

“First, people are not going to return your phone calls. They’re going to correctly think you’re yesterday. Yeah, you, they’ll say, ‘Well, he’s got two years left., He can do damage. No one gives a shit about him.'”

“The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end.”

“I would like to introduce you to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, because it is a lot of people’s view. By the way, Congressman Jeffers and Senator Schumer, they’re going to go down to the White House on November 10th, and then you’re going to have some stiff photo of them sitting there talking about collegiality and cooperation.Don’t believe that bullshit.”

“Then they’re gonna start going after you. Then they’re gonna start figuring out where all the money stolen is.”

“Then they’re gonna go after your stupid jackass kids and their spouses and all the other bullshit that you see. And they’re gonna investigate the shit out of you.”

“And then when it comes to this stuff you’re doing in Iran, I gotta tell you, you’re getting really, really, really close to war crimes here. You’re probably going to cross the line.”

“And the one thing that Democrats are going to insist on in the 2028 election is that if you’re indicted by the international courts, and I think it’s in The Hague or somewhere in the Netherlands, we’re not going to protect your ass…not going to protect you.”

“Understand that.”

“Then it’s all going to come, and they’re all going to turn on you.”

“And you know who’s going to turn on you? What’s left of the Republican senators, there may be 43 to 45 of them left. Now, the House is going to vote to impeach you. You’re going to be impeached in 2027.”

Watch the full unhinged meltdown:
