The U.S. has rejected a decision by the International Criminal Court to issue warrants for the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.

Megyn Kelly just destroyed the claim of an alleged rape by Pete Hegseth. The woman was probably not raped, and she could be lying. There is no way the allegation should tank Pete Hegseth’s position. First, Kelly went over his infidelities. Those aren’t good, but this woman’s story is bizarre. The woman said she believed […] The post Megyn Kelly Explains Why Pete Hegseth Was Never Charged appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Americans are expressing “warmer” feelings toward President-elect Donald Trump after his 2024 election victory than after the 2016 and 2020 elections, according to survey results published by Pew Research Center on Friday. A majority of Americans (53%) said they approve of Trump’s plans for his second term, while 46% disapprove, according to Pew Research. The survey, which received responses from more than 9,500 adults from November 12 to 17, showed that Americans expressed the most confidence in Trump’s ability to handle economic policy (59%), law enforcement and criminal justice (54%), immigration (53%), and foreign policy (53%). On the issues of abortion and unifying the country, however, fewer Americans expressed confidence in Trump’s plans — 45% are confident in Trump’s handling of abortion, while 41% are confident that he can unite the country. Pew also asked respondents to indicate how they felt about Trump, ranging from “very warm” and “warm” to “cold” and “very cold.” Forty-three percent of respondents said they felt “warm” or “very warm” toward Trump, a significant increase from 34% after the 2020 election and 36% after the 2016 election. The positive results for Trump from the Pew survey come just days after a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll showing that 54% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing as he prepares for another term, The Hill reported. According to the poll, 91% of Republicans, 49% of independents, and 22% of Democrats approve of how Trump is handling the transition period. Americans have already received a glimpse into what Trump’s second term will look like as the president-elect quickly got to work naming people to fill important cabinet positions. Trump has also signaled that he will waste no time in implementing his campaign pledge for mass deportations, tapping former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tom Homan to serve as his “border czar.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Trump’s approval is also spiking among young adults, according to a recent YouGov poll. The survey, conducted between November 17 and 19, showed Trump boasting a 57% approval rating among Americans aged 18 to 29 — a 19-point increase from a YouGov poll conducted earlier in the month, according to Newsweek. Trump cruised to a landslide victory over Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5, taking 312 electoral votes to Harris’ 226. Trump is also leading in the popular vote by more than 2.5 million votes as ballots continue to be counted in some states. In 2017, Trump entered office underwater by 2 points in his approval rating, according to Gallup. During his four years in office, Trump’s approval rating reached 49% in early 2020 before dipping to 34% by the end of his term.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The Biden-Harris Department of Justice wants to place a gag order on the Texas surgeon indicted for blowing the whistle on a hospital performing sex changes on minors. The DOJ argued Wednesday that Dr. Eithan Haim’s discussion of his case on X created “a substantial likelihood of prejudicing the Government, further tainting the jury pool, and impeding the Court’s ability to hold a fair trial.” Prosecutors cited posts Haim made highlighting the judge’s heavy criticism of the government’s conduct during a hearing last week. During a Nov. 15 hearing, Judge David Hittner, a Reagan appointee, pressed prosecutors on why they included a word in their indictment that wasn’t in the original statute, according to the transcript. “It’s obvious that the government didn’t proofread or review the superseding indictment to prevent these errors, but are you going to file another superseding indictment or what?” the judge asked. Haim posted sections of the transcript on X and wrote that the DOJ “so thoroughly embarrassed themselves, it’s hard to comprehend how this is still ongoing.” As if it couldn't get any worse, the DOJ has now submitted a motion for a gag order. This comes after I exerted my first amendment right to discuss a publicly available transcript from last week's publicly accessible hearing. The very hearing which the DOJ so thoroughly… pic.twitter.com/sXofT1iXGD— Eithan Haim MD (@EithanHaim) November 21, 2024 Haim wrote on X that the gag order request targets his “first amendment right to discuss a publicly available transcript from last week’s publicly accessible hearing.” “They believe that because I’m just a regular guy, they can intimidate me into silence,” he wrote on X. “But my freedom to speak is more important than their desire to conceal their corruption.” The gag order motion also targeted Haim’s attorney, Marcella Burke, whose account on X now is listed as nonexistent. Burke similarly criticized the government’s conduct in a post Wednesday, which is no longer available. Prosecutors pointed in their filing to a section of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct that lawyers should not make public statements that have “a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing an adjudicatory proceeding.” The DOJ indicted Haim in June for allegedly violating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which protects the disclosure of personal health information. Haim provided documentation to journalist Christopher Rufo in 2023 demonstrating Texas Children’s Hospital was continuing to perform sex-change procedures on minors after publicly stating the program had been shut down. Rufo has stated none of the documents Haim provided included information identifying any individual. U.S. Attorney Tina Ansari, a federal prosecutor pursuing the case against Haim, also filed documents while her law license was suspended in September. She was placed on administrative suspension for failing to pay her dues, which she paid after the defense highlighted her status in a filing. Haim’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
