Drones are flying all over New Jersey and spreading out to New York and Pennsylvania. Dozens of drones chased a Coast Guard boat, and drones are flying where they shouldn’t. The government was clueless when asked about them. They are making no effort to find out who is launching them over military installations and Donald […] The post Drones Are Watching, Chasing Us & Coming From Across the Sea appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

On Wednesday night, a Palestinian terrorist opened fire on an Israeli bus, killing a young Israeli boy returning from a family celebration. The terrorist, identified in news reports as Izz al-Din Maluh, reportedly turned himself in at a Palestinian Authority police station after a manhunt by Israeli forces. But the Palestinian police allegedly only confiscated his weapon and did not arrest him. The terrorist’s bullets hit the bus 22 times at the El-Khader Junction in Gush Etzion on Route 60. Ten-year-old Yehoshua Aharon Tuvia Simha from Beitar Illit was shot in the upper body and later evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital near Jerusalem, where he was pronounced dead after a few hours. Three other bus passengers were injured in the attack.

CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Palestinian terrorists have killed numerous Jews as they have traveled on Route 60. In February 2023, two Israeli brothers, Hallel Yaniv, 21, and Yagel Yaniv, 19, were murdered when a Palestinian terrorist opened fire from close range at them on the Route 60 highway. In August 2023, Batsheva Nigri, a mother of three, was shot to death in a terrorist attack on Route 60 near Hebron while her daughter was in the car. Hamas praised the murder, calling it a “natural response.” At Nigri’s funeral, her brother said, “You were also amazing to the children in all the kindergartens where you worked — hundreds of children learned what Judaism is from you. I refuse to accept what the mind already knows. To me you were always the eldest sister, I chose you to be my sister every day.”

President Joe Biden announced Thursday that he would commute the sentences of around 1500 people, many of whom were moved from prison and placed into home confinement during the height of the COVID lockdowns.  In addition to those granted clemency, Biden said he was also pardoning 39 people convicted of non-violent crimes, including drug offenses. In total, the White House said that Biden’s actions “represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.” “The President has issued more sentence commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms,” the White House said. “In the coming weeks, the President will take additional steps to provide meaningful second chances and continue to review additional pardons and commutations.” The White House said that one person he pardoned is “a decorated military veteran and pilot.” “These individuals are parents, veterans, health care professionals, teachers, advocates, and engaged members of their communities. Many of them have used their experiences in the criminal justice system to inspire and encourage others,” the White House said.  The White House said as his term winds down, Biden would “continue to review clemency petitions and deliver criminal justice reform in a manner that advances equity and justice, promotes public safety, supports rehabilitation and reentry, and provides meaningful second chances.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Biden previously rolled out a mass pardon for those convicted of simple marijuana possession. That mass pardon was criticized by critics who said it would benefit people who were arrested for more serious crimes but plea-bargained down. “You are going to have a very large number of people affected by this who were charged with something far more serious so that the government had leverage to get them to cooperate, and then they pled it down to a simple misdemeanor possession,” said Paul Larkin at the time, a senior legal research fellow at The Heritage Foundation. The White House’s announcement on Thursday comes after Biden was widely criticized for giving a sweeping pardon to his son Hunter after promising not to do so. Hunter was facing potential prison time for gun and tax crime convictions.  One recent Associated Press—NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found that only 22% of Americans approved of the Hunter pardon. While 38% of Democrats supported the pardon, just 12% of independents did, and only 7% of Republicans. 

Sure, Iceland is one of the coldest countries in the world, but there is so much to discover in this beautiful country! In addition to the Northern Lights, Iceland is home to diverse wildlife and scenic views. It’s no wonder there are so many videos and photos online that showcase all the beauty Iceland has to offer. That said, it’s important to not get too close to the nature, sometimes… For example, there’s a volcano that, until recently, had been dormant for around 800 years. But as the name of the country suggests, Iceland is also home to icy spots — this includes multiple frozen geysers. While it’s totally safe (and fun) to admire these geysers up close, it’s important to be mindful of where you stand. This is especially true when one of them goes off. Unfortunately for a visitor named Lauren, she learned that the hard way… @laurengoblincontent After this my hair and all my clothes immediately froze. Should come with a splash zone warning. #iceland #geyser #geography #naturelover #reykjavik #goldencircle ♬ original sound – Goblin Lauren At first, Lauren is wholly mesmerized by the burst of frozen water that shoots straight into the air. It doesn’t take long, however, for her to realize the mistake she’s made. Just as the contents of the geyser start to fall back toward the ground, Lauren gives a defeated, “Oh no…” before she quickly shields both herself and her phone. “After this my hair and all my clothes immediately froze,” Lauren admits in the caption of her video. “Should come with a splash zone warning.” Woman Admires a Beautiful Frozen Geyser in Iceland… Until She Realizes She’s Made a Grave Mistake “The ‘oh no’ was just pure unfiltered sound of defeat,” someone in the comments points out, with another adding, “You just have to accept it, no bother running.” “This happened to me and my lungs hurt every time I breathed for the next week or so,” a third person shares. “Definitely don’t recommend.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
