Third Release of Hostages By Hamas Includes Four-Year-Old American Girl

Russia has apparently added the spokesman for Meta on their list of wanted people‚ according to an online database curated by the nation's interior ministry. The Associated Press reported that Russian state agency Tass and the independent news outlet Mediazona were the first to report that Andy Stone was now included on the country's wanted list. The development comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned Meta as a "terrorist and extremist" organization. Now that Meta has garnered the attention of the Russian authorities‚ it is possible that Russian citizens could face criminal charges if they are found to be using the platform in the future. However‚ no legislation concerning Meta has yet been passed by the Russian government.Meta appeared in Russia's crosshairs after the Eastern European country invaded Ukraine in February 2022. As a consequence‚ Stone announced Meta would temporarily update its hate speech policy to permit "forms of political expression that would normally violate (its) rules‚ like violent speech such as 'death to the Russian invaders‚'" according to ABC News. — (@) However‚ Stone mentioned in the same statement that the platform would still ban accounts that called for violence against Russian civilians.Mediazona claimed on Sunday that a Russian court had issued an arrest warrant for Stone earlier this month on charges of "facilitating terrorism‚" but the report did not give specific details about the source of the information.Major social media platforms — such as X‚ Instagram‚ and Facebook — were apparently popular with young Russia citizens before the war broke out in Ukraine‚ but the country has now blocked access to these sites. Russians can still access these social media platforms‚ but they must use a VPN — a tool used to make it appear as if an electronic device is geographically located in a place it is not. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was banned from entering Russia in April 2022‚ and the ban still remains in place.ABC News reported on Sunday that Russian audio recordings were intercepted and appear to suggest that Russian soldiers want out of the war‚ as the conflict is set to enter its second winter. In the recordings‚ Russian soldiers speak in shorthand‚ with 200s to mean those who have been killed‚ 300s to mean those who have been wounded‚ and then 500s‚ representing those who refuse to fight. The secret recordings were apparently obtained by the Associated Press‚ which reveal Russian soldiers calling home from Ukrainian regions‚ including Donetsk‚ Kharkiv‚ and Luhansk.The focus previously put on the Russia-Ukraine conflict has now shifted to the Middle East‚ between Israel and Hamas.

As President Joe Biden's 81st birthday approaches‚ chatter has resurfaced about the president's cognitive capabilities‚ especially in light of issues cropping up around the world. Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson‚ who previously served as a White House physician‚ noted that there are serious reasons to be concerned about Biden's cognitive abilities‚ according to Fox News Digital.Jackson told "Sunday Morning Futures" guest anchor Sean Duffy that the situation with Biden's "[decline is] happening quickly." "Like you said‚ I've taken care of three presidents… so I know firsthand what it takes to be the commander-in-chief and the head of state. It's a grueling job‚ both mentally and physically. This man can't do the job. He's proven to us every single day that he can't do the job‚ but this is going to get worse."Jackson served as a White House physician under three presidents: George W. Bush‚ Barack Obama‚ and Donald Trump. In the summer of 2022‚ Jackson's campaign published a statement on its website‚ saying: "In 2018‚ following calls from Democrats and the mainstream media‚ Jackson gave President Trump a cognitive test. The precedent was set.""Jackson sent a letter to President Biden in June 2021 and again in February 2022 calling on him to do the same. His requests have been ignored."Jackson has previously claimed that Biden should take a cognitive test to prove he is fit for office or drop out of the 2024 presidential race."It's just unbelievable how much he's degenerated just during his time in office‚" Jackson said. "We cannot afford to have this man in office for the remainder of this term and then [for] another four years after that. He's already putting us at great risk right now."While there has been a decline in the amount of young voters supporting Biden‚ the president's campaign has entertained the possibility of creating a TikTok account in order to appeal to America's youth. Some have pointed out the apparent hypocrisy of Biden's camp‚ noting that the president previously outlawed the social media platform from all government devices earlier this year.During the interview with Duffy‚ Jackson went on to mention the ongoing issues facing the U.S.‚ such as international tensions‚ border control‚ and the economy."[Look at] the wars that we're getting drawn into. Things that wouldn't happen if Donald Trump were there because our enemies don't fear us anymore. They have no respect for us anymore and our adversaries don't trust us anymore‚ and it's because we don't have the leadership in the White House that we need‚" Jackson said."It's because this man‚ even if he wanted to‚ he cannot provide that leadership. He is not physically and cognitively fit for office anymore‚ and somebody in his inner circle needs to step up to the plate and make him aware of this‚ and he needs to move on for the safety and security of this country."Like Blaze News?

Honey‚ What Are You Doing? Glenn Greenwald Goes on INSANE Rant Against Rep. Torres for Supporting Israel

Silent Hill 2 Remake developer Bloober Team took to X (Formerly Twitter) on Sunday to try to calm the nerves of fans who are apprehensive about the progress of the highly anticipated horror title‚ but reactions from some fans of the series seem to indicate that the message may have done more harm than good.

Starfield is a completionst's nightmare‚ or dream come true‚ depending on your perspective. I'm more than 192 hours into my main campaign‚ I'm nowhere near ready to enter The Unity and start my first New Game Plus (the system that the game's longevity is built around)‚ and I've only been to about half of the solar systems in the galaxy. I just can't help myself. Criticize the game for its big‚ empty worlds all you want — and I know plenty of people do — but I just can't bring myself to fly by a new planet or moon without checking out just what it looks like down there.
