CLEVELAND, Ohio — Gaza Ceasefire between Israel and Hamas commenced early Sunday morning, Gaza time. The firing of Rep. Mike Turner (R-Oh) as chair of the House Intelligence Committee did not cease. Nor did the disinformation and misinformation spread by President-elect Donald Trump and President-unelect Elon Musk about the L.A. wildfires still burning.

Early Sunday morning Gaza time, the first of the multi-step ceasefire between Israel and Hamas started. This first step is supposed to last six weeks. All steps being competed would be the release of nearly 100 hostages held by Hamas, end of fighting and beginning of rebuilding Gaza.

As of this writing, three young women have been released of the 33 hostages set to be freed in the first phase. They were taken to a hospital after being held for 470 days.

The conflict began with the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre of Israelites in their homes and a concert while also taking over 100 hostage.

REP MIKE TURNER FIRED:

Rep. Mike Turner (R-Oh) was fired as Chair of the House Intelligence Committee. Coming out of a meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson, Turner said he was removed due to “concerns from Mar-a-Lago”, his not being ‘MAGA’ enough. Speaker Johnson denied that, claiming it was his call and praising Turner’s work as Chair.

“Concerns from Mar-a-Lago” and/or because of ‘concerns from Moscow’? Turner long had bipartisan support as Chair and also supported continued Ukraine aid.

Top Democrat on the Committee Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, said this about Turner’s ouster:

“His removal makes our nation less secure and is a terrible portent for what’s to come. The Consttitution demands Congress function as a check on the Executive Branch, not caterr to its demands.”

Rep. Rick Crawford of Arkansas replaces Turner as Chair. This coincides with former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee becoming the new Ambassador to Israel.

Crawford voted against the certification of President Biden’s election after the Jan. 6 Insurrection attack on the U.S. Capitol to stop it. Crawford also opposes continued aid to Ukraine.

TRUMP-MUSK MISINFORMATION WILDFIRE:

Among the big embers fueling the Los Angelas wildfires were the big flaming bull firing out of the mouths of Elon Musk and Donald Trump about the fires and efforts to fight them. The fires were a natural disaster from longterm draught and hurricane force winds hitting both the wealthy and working class of California.
