| If Hamas Toys with Trump, 'This Deal Crashes on the Rocks Very Soon' |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| All hell did not break loose for Hamas on Saturday, but the word "shaky" doesn't begin to describe their ceasefire deal with Israel.

| Lies and Folly: The Media's Un-American Ambush of Vance's Endorsement of Free Speech |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| As Democrats resume their ineffectual strategy of instinctively attacking Donald Trump at every turn, the mainstream media has followed suit, though with a sorely depleted hand. But the administration's nearly perfect pitch has complicated this fault-finding mission. On Friday, Vice President J.D. Vance descended into a European den of censorious socialists to deliver a principled lecture on free speech and free elections at a Security Conference in Munich, Germany.

| 'You're Fired!' Trump Admin. Dismisses Thousands from Federal Workforce |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| In his quest to end the bureaucratic Deep State's stranglehold on the federal government and eliminate waste and overspending, President Donald Trump and his administration are firing thousands of federal employees. The layoffs mostly affect probationary employees hired last-minute by the Biden administration, but more senior roles deemed unnecessary or ineffective in various agencies have also been cut. Many of the mass layoffs come as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) conducts its audits of federal agencies and executive departments, identifying waste and, in some cases, fraud within the federal bureaucracy. |
