Netanyahu Wants a 9/11-Style Probe plus DHS Offers $3,000 for Self-Deportation
1. Netanyahu’s Push for an Inquiry into October 7 Attacks Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proposes an investigation into the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks, comparing it to the U.S. 9/11 Commission. He advocates for a bipartisan committee (half coalition, half opposition) rather than a Supreme Court-appointed state commission. Opposition parties refuse to participate, calling the plan a “whitewash” and demanding a fully independent inquiry. The commentary criticizes political exploitation of victims’ grief for partisan gain, drawing parallels to U.S. debates on gun control after mass shootings. 2. U.S. Immigration Policy and Self-Deportation Incentives The Department of Homeland Security offers $3,000 holiday stipends to encourage illegal immigrants to self-deport voluntarily. Since January, 1.9 million illegal aliens have reportedly self-deported, aided by the CBP Home app. The policy is framed as cost-effective compared to forced deportation and linked to economic benefits like higher wages and lower housing costs. Includes anecdotal stories of migrants choosing self-deportation for family stability. 3. Government Waste and Rand Paul’s Festivus Report Senator Rand Paul’s 2025 Festivus Report exposes $1.6 trillion in waste, including: $1.2 trillion in interest payments on national debt. $13.8 million for beagle experiments (infected with ticks, denied pain relief). $5.2 million dosing beagles with cocaine and meth. $14.6 million for monkeys playing a Price Is Right-style video game. $1 million forcing ferrets to binge drink for 90 days. $40 million promoting COVID vaccines after the pandemic ended. $7.5 billion for EV infrastructure resulting in only 68 charging stations. $22.6 billion for migrant benefits. Miscellaneous: insect consumption campaigns, TikTok influencer programs, Pakistani climate cartoons, anti-racism campus initiatives. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
