Here’s the report: Nearly one year after the initial attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists, the Biden White House questions whether the Iranian-backed group even wants to make a deal that would result in a ceasefire and the remaining hostages … Continue reading →
The case seems similar to the Crumbley case in Michigan. I’ve written six previous posts about the Crumbley case, because it alarmed me and I thought the parents either should not have been charged or were way overcharged. From this … Continue reading →
