President Joe Biden will return to the White House this weekend to discuss the Middle East crisis with his national security team‚ cutting short a trip to his Rehoboth Beach‚ Delaware‚ home.  Biden will return to Washington to “consult with his national security team about events in the Middle East‚” the White House announced Saturday. The announcement comes amid rising tensions as American officials say Iran is expected to launch an attack on Israel.  Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to be at the meeting with Biden‚ according to CNN. The meeting will come hours after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) seized a ship near the Strait of Hormuz linked to Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group shipping company.  “The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps have seized a Portuguese civilian cargo ship‚ belonging to an EU member‚ claiming Israeli ownership‚” Israel Katz‚ Israel’s foreign minister‚ posted on X. “The Ayatollah regime of @khamenei_ir is a criminal regime that supports Hamas’ crimes and is now conducting a pirate operation in violation of international law.” “I call on the European Union and the free world to immediately declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guards corps as a terrorist organization and to sanction Iran now‚” he added. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The U.S. has called for Iran to release control of the ship‚ saying it would hold the country accountable.  “We call on Iran to release the vessel &; its international crew immediately‚” National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement. “It must be condemned unequivocally‚ &; we will work with our partners to hold Iran to account for its actions.”  On Friday‚ Biden was asked at the National Action Network Convention about when Iran was expected to attack Israel. “I don’t want to say‚” Biden said. “I don’t want to get into secure information‚ but my expectation is sooner than later.” “We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel‚” he added. “We will defend — help defend Israel. And Iran will not succeed.”

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Saturday that the country was ready for any potential attack that the Islamic Republic of Iran may launch against it. Iran has threatened Israel for days after Israel terminated one of the country’s top generals who allegedly played a key role in helping Hamas organize and execute its October 7 terrorist attack. “We are closely monitoring a planned attack by Iran and its proxies against the State of Israel‚” Gallant said. “In recent days we have strengthened our defensive and offensive array and we are determined to take any measures required to defend the citizens of the State of Israel.” “We have added new capabilities — on land‚ in the air‚ at sea‚ in our intelligence directorate‚ within the State of Israel and together with our partners‚ led by the United States‚” he added. “Iran is a terrorist state — the world is seeing this now more than ever. We are determined to defend our citizens against this terrorism‚ and we will know how to respond to it. I ask the citizens of Israel to follow the instructions published by the IDF and the Homefront Command.” Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant: “We are closely monitoring a planned attack by Iran and its proxies against the State of Israel.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced shortly after sundown that it was changing its Home Front Command’s defensive guidelines because new intelligence indicated that the Islamic Republic of Iran was imminently planning to launch attacks against Israel. The new guidelines will be in effect for the next two days‚ according to the IDF. Social gatherings in the country can have no more than 1‚000 people and all “educational activities are prohibited.” In the Gaza Envelope‚ restrictions are even tighter‚ with outdoor gatherings limited to 100 people‚ indoor gatherings limited to 300 people‚ and all beaches closed to the public. Workplaces can operate if employees have the ability to reach a “standard protected space” within a reasonable amount of time. In areas that are defined as “confrontation line‚” outdoor gatherings are limited to 30 people. Following a situational assessment‚ it was determined that as of 23:00 (IST) tonight‚ changes will be made to the Home Front Command’s defensive guidelines. As part of the changes‚ it was decided to prohibit educational activities across Israel.

If the munitions are launched from inside Iran‚ it would take 12 minutes for a ballistic missile to hit Israel‚ 2 hours for cruise missiles‚ and 9 hours for drones‚ according to Israeli media.

Israel has already indicated that it will not hesitate to take preemptive action to stop attacks from happening and that if Iran strikes‚ it will respond directly and may target Iran’s nuclear facilities and potentially its top leadership. “Iran has been acting against us for years — directly and via proxies. And‚ therefore‚ Israel acts against Iran and its proxies — defensively and offensively‚” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “We will know how to defend ourselves‚ and we will act according to the simple principle: that those who harm us or plan to harm us‚ we will harm.”

Late-night television changed forever after Donald Trump descended that escalator in 2015. The left-leaning format abandoned all pretense of objectivity‚ turning their hosts into DNC shills. Fox News’ “Gutfeld&;#33;’ remains a sobering exception.     When President Trump left office in January 2021 that mission creep stayed in place. Now‚ with the Biden-Trump rematch heading our way‚ some of late-night TV’s biggest stars are getting nervous. Some might say panicky. Why&;#63; The polls suggest the former President might just beat the current President come November. We’re a long way from November‚ but at the moment the late-night crowd isn’t happy with the state of the race. Let’s start with Stephen Colbert‚ who literally joined a Biden fundraiser late last month fearing a second Trump term. The far-Left host is trying to drag President Biden over the finish line one more time. To do so‚ he’s demanding Israel stop fighting back against the ghouls who tortured‚ raped and killed more than a thousand innocent Israeli citizens on Oct. 7. That plays into Biden’s hands‚ of course. The Democrat is losing his base for supporting Israel six months into the current war. Remember‚ Colbert hosts a comedy talk show. He’s not a pundit or an advisor to Team Biden. He just looks and sounds like one‚ routinely abandoning any pretense of comedy in the process. His fellow late-night Leftist Seth Meyers is even worse on that front. The “SNL” alum is all but melting down over Biden’s tepid poll numbers. He‚ too‚ blames Biden’s management of the Israeli/Hamas war. “[Voters] are understandably upset Biden keeps claiming he’s frustrated with Netanyahu’s handling of the war‚ while simultaneously sending more weapons to support that war against the wishes of a majority of Americans. Meyers chastised Biden for not pushing harder for a Middle East ceasefire‚ which Biden promised during his propaganda-style interview with the leader. “You’re the president. You can just say‚ ‘No more funding. No more weapons.’ You can call for a ceasefire—that’s what a majority of Americans want‚ including the tens of thousands of Democrats who are registering protest votes in key battleground states.” That’s not a moral position. It’s one looking ahead to Nov. 5. In other words‚ it’s panic time. “There must be an immediate lasting ceasefire and the safe return of all hostages…That’s the loud and clear message of these protest votes‚ and Biden must listen‚ otherwise he’s at risk of losing to someone whose presidency was a [complete disaster].” Squint all you want‚ but you won’t find a single joke or attempt at humor in that harangue. Not a one.   The late nights have largely silent on the Israel-Hamas War. That changed last night with Seth Meyers who said of protest voters &;quot;Biden must listen‚ otherwise he's at risk of losing to&;quot; Trump‚ who was impeached for denying weapons to an ally at war for his own political benefit pic.twitter.com/f0lxio2loB — Alex Christy (@alexchristy17) April 4‚ 2024   And then there’s Jimmy Kimmel. The former “Man Show” star can’t believe polls suggest Trump may beat Biden in their do-over match. A recent survey found Trump beating Biden in six of seven swing states. “How could this be&;#63;” a stunned Kimmel asked during a recent monologue. At least Kimmel squeezed out a quasi-joke to process the news. Trump “doesn’t even lead in a poll of people who worked for him.”  “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon isn’t as overtly partisan as his peers. He still allows Democratic heavyweights to push their agendas on his NBC platform. He recently teed up former First Lady Hillary Clinton to bark at swing voters that they cannot even think of staying home on Election Day.     Late-night comedians aren’t political activists by trade. Their gigs are meant to nudge viewers to bed with a smile. Instead‚ they’ve become an extension of MSNBC. You’d think they’d be giddy at the chance to roast President Trump for another four years. Instead‚ they’re panicked that they just might.

Reality could soon be stranger than science fiction. Engineers at the University of Texas at Austin recently revealed that a universal brain-computer interface technology allows users to control video games with nothing more than their minds‚ according to The Debrief. The revelation is considered a breakthrough development in studying the brain's potential relationship with technology.The report mentioned that this could represent a significant leap forward in scientists and researchers harnessing the power of the brain. If the technology proves reliable‚ it could offer a whole new way of life for those who have motor disabilities.The university mentioned that the ability to control things with our minds is no longer a mere fantasy‚ but it could become a reality for many people. The report‚ published by the university's Cockrell School of Engineering‚ said &;quot;the researchers incorporated machine learning capabilities with their brain-computer interface‚ making it a one-size-fits-all solution.&;quot;Generally‚ these types of devices require calibration for each user‚ as no two brains are alike. This hiccup has been a major problem for those in the field until now. The recent solution can &;quot;quickly understand the needs of an individual subject and self-calibrate through repetition. That means multiple patients could use the device without needing to tune it to the individual.&;quot;The findings were published in the journal PNAS Nexus. Satyam Kumar‚ a graduate student in the lab of Jose del R. Millan‚ a professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering's Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Dell Medical School's Department of Neurology‚ said: &;quot;When we think about this in a clinical setting‚ this technology will make it so we won’t need a specialized team to do this calibration process‚ which is long and tedious.&;quot;“It will be much faster to move from patient to patient.”The technology appears to have some similarities with Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant chip. Blaze News recently reported that a paralyzed man was the first person to publish a post to X with just his mind by using one of Neuralink's brain implant chips. — (@) Despite the seeming promise of Neuralink's technology‚ there have been reports that monkeys suffered and died during the trials of the technology. While the company has denied that any of the monkeys died as a direct result of the brain implant chip‚ some remain skeptical.Neuralink has also not had any of its findings corroborated by peer-reviewed journals‚ which is unusual for research in this area.
