Francesca Albanese, the viciously anti-Israel Special Rapporteur for the United Nations, reached a new nadir in her rhetoric targeting the Jewish state, calling for it to be expelled from the U.N. after Israel attacked the UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City. Israel has stated the terrorist group Hamas has used the UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City as a military base. Daniel Rubenstein of the Israeli Citizen Spokespersons’ Office said that the Israel Defense Forces found “drones, war rooms used for surveillance operations, rockets, machine guns, mortars, bombs, and grenades” in the building. “On October 12, five days after the October 7 massacre, UNRWA evacuated its headquarters in Gaza City. It locked the gate and left,” Rubenstein noted. “That should have been the end of the story. But the Israeli military got a tip: Hamas had a military base in a tunnel under UNRWA’s headquarters. The IDF uncovered the tunnel; it was more than 2000 feet long. The tunnel was a Hamas command center, intelligence base, and server farm. The electricity for the computers underground came from UNRWA’s headquarters above ground. After the IDF left UNRWA’s headquarters, Hamas came back and turned it into a military base.” “There is no excuse at this point for not knowing how UNRWA is an integral part of the Hamas military machine,” he declared. “UNRWA is a Hamas front.” “‘Israel’s criminal attack on the UN continues without any consequences. High time to take action against Israel including through unseating from the UN, as was done with apartheid South Africa,” the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right To Housing raved. Israel’s criminal attack on the UN continues without any consequences. High time to take action against Israel including through unseating from the UN, as was done with apartheid South Africa. https://t.co/8FbS1ZplXb — UN Special Rapporteur on the right to housing (@adequatehousing) July 16, 2024 Albanese followed by tweeting, “Time to #UNseat Israel from the UN.” Time to #UNseatIsrael from the UN. https://t.co/il87Umf8lP — Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt (@FranceskAlbs) July 18, 2024 In March, UN Watch’s Hillel Neuer blasted Albanese for her vicious attack on Israel in which she called Israel’s attack on Hamas in Gaza a “genocide” and compared Israel to Nazi Germany. Albanese intoned to the UN, “Following nearly six months of unrelenting Israeli assault on occupied Gaza, it is my solemn duty to report on the worst of what humanity is capable of and to present my finding: ‘The Anatomy Of A Genocide.’ The colonial amnesia of the West has condoned Israel’s colonial settler project from the violent history of the very birth of the State of Israel.” Albanese then tried to turn the Palestinian slogan that calls for the eradication of Israel into a demand for equal rights, saying, “People around the world are taking to the streets, gathering, protesting, and demanding equal rights of all ‘from the river to the sea.’” She then likened Israel’s defense of the state and its attack on the terrorist group Hamas that perpetrated the horrific October 7 massacre of more than 1200 people on Israeli soil to the Holocaust in which the Nazis murdered six million Jews in an attempt to wipe the Jewish people from history. “The Israeli project is not only apartheid but aims at a final solution,” she claimed. Neuer then fired back: Ms. Albanese, your report accuses Israel of genocide. Now, at page 2, you say your report does not examine the Hamas crimes of October 7, because they are “Beyond the geographic scope of my mandate.” Now, you went on a recent official trip to Australia, all expenses paid by the U.N. Could you explain how Australia is within the geography of your mandate but not the mass murder, rape, torture committed by Hamas terrorists on October 7, invading Israel from Gaza, kidnapping hundreds of hostages including babies and Holocaust survivors?  If you ignore the Hamas massacre that started the war, the 14,000 rockets fired against Israeli towns, 130 hostages now being tortured in Gaza, how can you possibly understand the war? He continued: Now, although you say it’s not in your mandate, you have commented. On February 10, you mocked the statement of President Macron that October 7 constituted the greatest anti-Semitic massacre of our century. You said the victims were “not killed because of their Judaism,” but rather “in reaction to Israel’s oppression.” In response, for the first time in history, both France and Germany condemned a U.N. rapporteur for anti-Semitism. France replied to you that “The October 7 massacre is the biggest anti-Semitic massacre of the 21st Century,” and “to deny it is wrong.” France said it was, “scandalous” and a “disgrace” for you to “appear to justify it” by “dragging in the name of the United Nations.” Germany, Madame Rapporteur, said it was “appalling” for you to “justify the horrific terror attacks” and to “deny their anti-Semitic nature.” Germany said, Madame Rapporteur, your remarks were as “disgrace.” “We agree,” he concluded.

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) introduced his mother, Bev Vance, to Americans on the third night of the 2024 Republican National Convention, where he celebrated her nearly 10 years of sobriety. Speaking to the RNC crowd after he officially accepted former President Donald Trump’s nomination to be his vice presidential running mate, Vance said his family reflected the MAGA movement. “It’s about single moms like mine who struggled with money and addiction but never gave up,” Vance explained. “And I’m proud to say that tonight my mom is here, 10 years clean and sober,” he added. “I love you Mom.” ‘I LOVE YOU’: JD Vance stuns RNC crowd with sentimental line about his mom during speech. https://t.co/Szu6PcXUOH pic.twitter.com/QFiRYnWNEn — Fox News (@FoxNews) July 18, 2024 Vance then stepped away from the podium, put his hand over his heart, and blew a kiss to his mom in the RNC crowd. She was seated next to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). The delegates started chanting “JD’s Mom” over and over again. “And you know Mom I was thinking it’ll be 10 years officially in January of 2025,” Vance added. “And if President Trump’s okay with it let’s have the celebration in the White House.” Before he talked about his mom, he said that the MAGA movement “is not about me, it’s about all of us.” “And it’s about who we’re fighting for, like the forgotten men and women not in the ruling class,” Vance said. “It’s about the auto worker in Michigan wondering why out-of-touch politicians are destroying their jobs,” he added. “It’s about the factory worker in Wisconsin who makes things with their hands and is proud of American craftsmanship.” “It’s about the energy worker in Pennsylvania, in Ohio who doesn’t understand why [President] Joe Biden is willing to buy energy from tin-pot dictators across the world when he could buy it from his own citizens right here in our own country.” Related: J.D.

Pop singer Britney Spears came after rocker Ozzy Osbourne after he criticized her for posting dance videos online. Osbourne, 75, voiced his opinions on Spears during an episode of “The Osbournes Podcast” which was released on Tuesday. The singer said he’s “fed up of seeing poor old Britney Spears on YouTube.” Osbourne’s wife, Sharon, clarified that he was speaking of the dancing videos, prompting Osbourne to chime in saying, “Every f***ing day… It’s sad, very, very sad.” The couple’s daughter Kelly echoed that she felt “sorry” for Spears while Sharon said, “Poor little thing.”  Fans of Spears have also questioned the videos, which often show Spears wearing revealing outfits and dancing around her house. A video of the “Toxic” singer dancing with what appeared to be real kitchen knives sparked the most concern. Law enforcement stopped in to do a wellness check after concerned fans alerted them to what was going on.  Spears lashed out at Osbourne and simultaneously complimented a recent video of actress Kate Beckinsale coming down on critics who say she’s not doing enough “age-appropriate things.” “I adore Kate Beckinsale, especially because she’s from London!” Spears wrote in an Instagram post. “I realized how incredibly cruel people were talking about her IG, saying she needs more age-appropriate content… it’s pretty badass how she responded.” As for her situation, Spears added, “Not as bad as some of my comments saying it’s sad that I’m as old as I am and I’m dancing every single day on my IG! Number 1) I hardly ever dance… and number 2) I’m not poor at all! I have more ligature in my left toe than any grown man or woman on earth!” “I know what it’s like to be judged so it’s a ridiculous and stupid subject initially but I think it’s important to HELP EACH OTHER and invite each other to places that help our souls grow !!!” she continued.  Spears ended the post by writing, “I’m gonna do a photoshoot with Kate and tell the Osbourne family who is the most boring family known to mankind to kindly f*** off !!!” 

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA—Arab Gulf states have quietly and sometimes secretly purchased at least $282 million worth of real estate in Washington’s most elite neighborhood. Situated high atop the banks of the Potomac River and overlooking the nation’s capital, Virginia’s “Gold Coast” has long been the home of America’s ruling class. Today, it’s home to a number of high-profile Washingtonians, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, whose home on Arlington’s tony Chain Bridge Road has been swarmed by an encampment of anti-Israel protesters since Hamas’s October 7th invasion of Israel. But since 2019, a mysterious entity called 600 CBR LLC  has been buying up property in the area, building up a compound that sold for three times as much as Jeff Bezos’ $23 million D.C. mansion. Though the buyers behind 600 CBR are unknown, the real estate blog UrbanTurf reported in 2022 that “the buyer is from the United Arab Emirates and that settlement documents confirm this.” The embassy of the United Arab Emirates owns extensive property just down the block from the 600 CBR compound, and the compound’s primary residence is directly across the street from Blinken’s $5 million home. Since October 7th, anti-Israel protesters have been living in the narrow strip between the road and the LLC’s property, with their tents, signs, and buckets of fake blood just inches from its fence. If the UAE is behind 600 CBR, it’s not the only Gulf State with real estate holdings in the neighborhood. Saudi Arabia owns a compound between the 600 CBR compound and Blinken’s home, and Qatar owns a large parcel of land nearby. It is unclear whether the various Arab nations who own the properties are involved in the protests outside Blinken’s home, which The Daily Wire reported likely violate several state and local laws. The UAE embassy did not answer questions from The Daily Wire about whether UAE royals are behind the purchase, nor their stance on the protest outside Blinken’s home. This map shows the site of the Potomac River’s “Gold Coast,” with foreign-owned properties highlighted at left, with D.C. at the right. / Daily Wire The Gulf states are the latest foreign entities to buy up key real estate in the United States. In June, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that China was purchasing farm land near U.S. military bases to serve as launch pads for drones. Beijing has a history of acquiring American land, with one Chinese Communist Party billionaire secretly purchasing 200,000 acres of Oregon farm land in 2015. Qatar’s efforts to expand its influence in the United States were on full display this week after Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) was convicted of working to benefit Qatar while securing millions of dollars from a Qatari investment fund for his friend, who in turn paid him. When a Daily Wire reporter attempted to knock on the door of the 600 CBR compound’s main building, he was intercepted by a Middle Eastern man in sunglasses who said in accented speech, “This is private villa…get out…please don’t ask questions.” Asked who owns the villa, he said “that is private, I cannot talk.” Shortly after, someone left the house driven in a black SUV. Mortgage documents generally point to a property buyer’s identity. But 600 CBR’s purchase seems to have been made in cash, keeping all identifying information about the buyer out of public records. A transaction for just one of its parcels set the record for the largest residential transaction in the D.C. region’s history. The articles of incorporation for 600 CBR LLC were signed in 2019 by Kathryn W. Hambrick, a lawyer who specializes in managing sovereign wealth funds, according to a Daily Wire review of real estate records. Hambrick did not return a request for comment on which country’s sovereign wealth fund may have been behind the purchase. Whoever funds 600 CBR has plenty of company. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Embassy owns a $130 million compound that includes the historic Merrywood estate, the childhood home of  Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Merrywood was later purchased by AOL CEO Steve Case, and sold to the Saudis in 2018 for $43 million, the highest-ever home sale in the region at the time. It is next door to the home where Sen. Ted Kennedy lived until his death. The Saudi properties’ combined assessed value is $130 million, according to Fairfax County real estate records. The ownership of some of the most expensive property in Fairfax County by embassies—even though the embassies themselves are in Washington—deals a blow to the tax base, as they are exempt from property taxes. The Embassy of the State of Qatar’s nearby compound and is assessed to be worth $20 million. The oil-rich nation has just 300,000 citizens—half the size of the District of Columbia—but recently counted 2 million residents. The vast majority of its residents are foreign laborers working in conditions sometimes described as “modern slavery.” Qatar has been in the international spotlight since Hamas’s invasion of Israel. The terrorist group’s leaders operate out of Qatar, and the nation’s representative to the Arab parliament said “There can be no peace or negotiations with the Zionist entity.” Qatar has also enmeshed itself into D.C.’s culture by becoming part-owner of the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards. The $62 million worth of properties owned by the United Arab Emirates are also exempt from property taxes. If the UAE is indeed behind the 600 CBR compound, it would bring the UAE-connected holdings to an assessed value of $132 million. One of the properties on the 600 CBR compound is “The Falls,” which was purchased for about $45 million in 2020 from AOL co-founder Jim Kimsey, making for the largest purchase in the region’s history, the Washington Business Journal reported at the time. It features 42,000 square feet of living space and a guest house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It also includes a property, purchased for $23 million in 2022, that was home to former Virginia Gov. Chuck Robb and his wife, the daughter of former president Lyndon B. Johnson. Standing yards from this enclave of the Gulf nations’ mega-mansions, pro-Palestinian protestors scream day and night at the United States’ top diplomat that the children of Gaza are starving.

Summer is the perfect season for some of the best fruits and veggies. For that reason, it’s important to stay aware of any recalls that may affect these products. One of these recalls includes cucumbers. The affected batch comes from a company in Ohio and were sold by Wiers Farm. From here, they were distributed in Walmarts across the following states: Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. But why were these cucumbers recalled in the first place? Turns out, the cucumbers may contain Listeria. When consumed, it can lead to an illness that is particularly harmful for those who are pregnant, elderly, or immunocompromised. Common symptoms include fever, chills, muscle aches, diarrhea, vomiting, and more. The FDA urges folks to check if they have any of the affected products in their homes. Antoni Shkraba / Pexels There are two products that fall under this cucumber recall: Whole cucumbers with a pack date of June 5, 2024 Bagged salad cucumbers with pack dates of June 5, 2024 or June 6, 2024 At the present time of this writing, there have been no official illnesses or complaints reported that stem from these recalled products. Do You Have Any of the Cucumber Products Affected by This Recall? Also, it’s worth noting that the cucumbers affected are past their shelf life already. Still, it’s worth taking the time to make sure you’re safe. In fact, a somber reminder of this can be seen in the recent deaths that took place from milk infected with Listeria. “Wiers Farm operates to the highest standards of health and food safety,” the company reassures. “We have taken immediate steps to address this isolated incident and we are collaborating closely with the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) to ensure a swift resolution.” Stay safe, everyone.
