Mahmoud Khalil won't condemn Hamas — but some Democrats are still racing to kiss his ring
Syrian-born, anti-Israel firebrand Mahmoud Khalil refuses to say Hamas is a murderous terrorist organization — yet Democratic lawmakers nonetheless are rushing to hail him as a martyr. What pathetic losers. Asked to 'specifically condemn Hamas' beyond the Oct. 7 attacks, Khalil demurred: 'It's disingenuous to ask about condemning Hamas while Palestinians are the ones being starved now by Israel.' Wow. The former Columbia University grad student could find no bad words for Hamas but somehow managed to fault Israel for the plight of Gazans caught in a war the terrorists started. (Civilians, by the way, might find themselves 'starved' because lawless Hamas regularly hijacks international food aid.) Any wonder the Trump administration accused Khalil of sympathizing with the US-designated terrorist group and held him in federal detention before a court forced his release? The best Khalil could do was to spew mealy-mouthed blather condemning the killing of 'all civilians, full stop.' But he drew the line at calling out Hamas by name. He also accused his CNN hosts of 'selective outrage' for, he said, not 'condemning Oct. 6, where 260 Palestinians were killed by Israel.' Of course, there's nothing to condemn, because no such thing happened. Yet Khalil's pro-terror narrative didn't stop the usual gaggle of Israel-bashing and morally vile Democrats from welcoming him during his recent visit to Capitol Hill. That includes Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and Reps. Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Summer Lee (Pa.), Troy Carter (La.) and Jim McGovern (Mass.).

It's bad enough that people like him are running around stirring up trouble on college campuses. But when US lawmakers suck up to a terrorist sympathizer like him, you know this country has big problems.

Tesla Warns of Pain From Trump's Tax Bill That Elon Musk Blasted
Tesla Inc. warned that provisions in President Donald Trump's $3.4 trillion fiscal package will pose meaningful challenges for the EV maker in the next several months. The legislation eliminated civil penalties that automakers had been required to pay US regulators that oversee US fuel economy requirements. That will hurt Tesla's sales of regulatory credits to rival automakers — long a key source of revenue and profit for the EV maker — and 'lead to lower earnings,' Chief Financial Officer Vaibhav Taneja said during the company's second-quarter earnings call Wednesday.

3 Men Who Disappeared While Fishing in Mississippi River Are Found Dead
The bodies of three men who were believed to have disappeared on Tuesday evening while fishing and swimming in the Mississippi River near Memphis were found on Wednesday, the local authorities said. Three men were reported missing about 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday and were last seen on a sandbar south of a boat ramp in Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park in Shelby County, Tenn., its sheriff's office said in a statement posted online. Two bodies were found on Wednesday around 11 a.m. south of the Meeman-Shelby Forest State Park boat ramp, the authorities said. A third was found in that same area around 12:45 p.m. The three bodies are 'presumably' those of the men reported missing, the sheriff's office said, and awaited identification by next of kin. Their names have not been released. The local authorities searched for the men on Tuesday night until 10:30 p.m. and resumed on Wednesday around 9:40 a.m. Three boats were in the water searching within 45 minutes of receiving the call that the men were missing, according to Jonathan Hanks, a battalion chief of the Shelby County Fire Department. The three men ranged in age from their 20s to 50s, Chief Hanks said. The investigation into their deaths is continuing, and the cause will be determined by the medical examiner, the police said. The stretch of the Mississippi River where the men disappeared, about 13 miles north of Memphis, has become a popular area at the state park in Shelby Forest, according to Brent W. Perkins, a Fire Department spokesman. But there are eddies — currents that flow in a circular upstream direction — that can 'pull an Olympic swimmer under,' Mr. Perkins said. The barges that travel up and down the Mississippi are the size of a skyscraper placed on its side, he said, and there are also submerged items, branches, debris and other hazards that people in the water can become entangled in. He implored people to avoid wading into the river. 'These places are not conducive to survival,' Mr. Perkins said. 'Once you get into that water, you cannot get out of the Mississippi. It will take you.' Several agencies helped with the search for the men, including the sheriff's office's search and rescue team, the county dive team, the Fire Department, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, the police said. The sheriff's office and the neighboring Tipton County Fire Department used advanced sonar technology to search the area, and the Memphis Police Department used thermal imaging cameras to search the air and water for a heat signature, Chief Hanks said.
