One of the most remarkable moments in American history came on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. 🇺🇸

On that day, two of the nation's Founding Fathers and former Presidents, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, passed away within hours of one another. Jefferson, the principal author of the Declaration, died at Monticello at age 83. Adams, who fiercely defended and helped secure America's independence, died later that day in Massachusetts at age 90.

Their passing on the nation's Jubilee seemed to symbolize the completion of a generation's work. They had devoted their lives to the cause of liberty, lived to witness the United States reach its first half-century, and left behind a republic whose ideals continue to inspire the world.

As we celebrate Independence Day, it's worth remembering not only how America was founded, but the extraordinary men whose vision, sacrifice, and perseverance made it possible.

Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸

The risks, number of man hours, tonnage of explosives, pounds of cement, millions of dollars to reach 83% should not be discounted. @IDF demilitarizing Gaza one tunnel at a time & providing the security for both Israel and Gaza needed for any chance of stability. @BoardOfPeace

On 10/7, to confuse Hamas, Shlomo Ron (85) took a seat in his living room and acted as if he lived alone.

He gambled that Hamas would kill him, but assume that he lived alone, and not advance futher into his home

He saved his wife, 2 daughters & grandson. He sacrificed himself

May this hero's memory be a blessing 🎗️

She was a Yazidi sex slave in #Gaza held captive for 10 years . Not one single Palestinian helped her. The #IDF rescued her and now she is here to tell her story.

“They are killing enormous numbers of civilians…they are targeting one, two, three enemy combatants and in the process killing huge numbers of civilians. @piersmorgan Piers a few minutes later – “If you can’t say exactly how many civilians have been killed in Gaza, what you say about numbers is bull.”

Dear @piersmorgan I tried to explain to you where numbers in the Gaza war (or any war) are going to come from "simply.” But let me type it out so you have a record of it instead of the interruptions and the tactic of just asking the same question over and over while I explain how the numbers work. The same numbers by the way that you used minutes before to criticize Israel and constantly repeat or have guests on that repeat, or more often state not even Hamas numbers but false numbers about xx civilians, xx women, xx children, xx percentages that go beyond Hamas's actual list of casualties.

First, let me correct you again (like I did to start the segment) by providing you my actual quotes:

1 - "Israel and the IDF have implemented more measures (sometimes quoted as precautions) to prevent civilian harm in urban warfare than any military in history,"

That is testable against urban warfare history of any similar situation (mostly attack of defended urban terrain). Israel civilian harm mitigation measure have included advance notification (flyers, phone calls, text messages, voicemails, drones with speakers, tv, radio, social media), safe corridors to include improving roads used for safe corridors in the middle of the war, roof knocking (notifying all residents of a building in advance for evacuations and then using non-penetrating low-yield munitions on top of the building before then waiting to strike), over daily multi-hour pauses in fighting (over 400 days of the 800 days of fighting) to allow civilian evacuations and aid movement, establishing a one-star commanded civilian harm mitigation cell that created a real time civilian presence (using cell phone presence, drones, satellite images, etc.) software reflected on all combat operating systems, handing out their own military maps to the entire population (to include the enemy) and then communicating the location of IDF operations, areas to avoid or further evacuate, using major call outs of buildings and neighborhoods, restrictive rules of engagement based on likely civilian presence, rigorous fires processes and legal reviews that often ended in calling mission off out of civilian harm estimates. Many of these measures have never been attempted, by any military.

2 - "Israel has a lower civilian to combatant ratio than any similar context (war or battle) in the history of urban warfare.” After acknowledging the lack of comparative cases (size of enemy forces (which I asked you about, you don't know), tunnels, density, strategy, tactics, prevention of civilian evacuations) but still doing the simple analysis, in order to provide the evidence for this statement I use the same numbers you and your frequent guests push to condemn Israel. But here:

Q: How do you estimate the number of civilians deaths?

A: Take the number the Hamas Gaza Health Ministry reports (despite that it includes any death in Gaza for any reason or cause (Israel/Hamas/Other terrorists) and has been well documented with inaccuracies (even having to be updated by Hamas of natural deaths, incomplete entries, false entries) and subtract the Israel stated combatant deaths.

The Hamas Gaza Health Ministry claims roughly 72,000 deaths in Gaza. The IDF says it has killed about 25,000-26,000 combatants, a number also reported by President Trump in October 2025. If you subtract 25,000 from 72,000, even using Hamas’s number at face value, you get roughly 47,000 non-combatant deaths, or a bit less than a 2:1 ratio. If you were modest to adjust for natural deaths and Hamas-caused deaths, is likely closer to 35,000–40,000 non-combatant deaths versus 25,000 combatants killed, which puts the ratio closer to 1.5:1.

If you compare 2:1 or 1.5:1 to any numbers we have (in many cases we don’t have) for wars, urban centric wars, contested urban battles they will be some of the lowest ratios (in some cases lowest by far) ever seen despite none of those wars or battles had the context of Gaza. For example:

World War II – 70 million civilians, 20 million combatants, 3.5:1
Korean War – 2.5 million civilians, 90,000 combatants, 27:1
Iraq War – 280-300,000 civilians, 150-200,000 combatants, 1.4:1 to 2:1

But wait, the Gaza numbers are usually aggregated numbers for the entire war, any death ever reported in Gaza.

But if you disaggregate the numbers to specific battles like Rafah, Khan Yunis, Gaza City 2025 for comparison you get different numbers. Based on modest numbers from the Battle of Rafah, the civilian to combatant ratio would be more like 1:100 due to multiple operational variables like the success of civilian evacuations.

Major urban battles (modest comparison of battles with any like variables).

Mosul – 10,000 civilians. Combatant unknown but total estimate in battle 5,000 – 2:1
Manila – 100,000 civilians. Combatants 17,000 – 6:1
Seoul – Unknown/no record of civilian but very likely high ratio based on histories
Mariupol – Unknown/mass graves, estimate 20-22,000 civilians, 3-8,000 combatants - 2.5:1 to 7.3:1

I actually use this discussion about numbers or quote about ratio sparingly despite how many times it has been attribute to me because I know the complexity of casualty counting especially in urban centric wars with combatants that violate the law of war and do not distinguish themselves (uniforms/marking) making determining a body found (if there is a body) or a name reported (such as methods in Gaza) and then classifying that person as was participating in the hostilities (combatant) or not (noncombatant) is beyond just difficult and should always be viewed as questionable. In Mosul, a year after the battle there was not only no agreed upon casualty number, but the Mayor of the city also said there were 40,000 civilian deaths. These numbers are always messy, political, susceptible to manipulation by the different organizations involved.

My point has always been that numbers of casualty reporting in Gaza doesn’t paint the story people routinely push. Actually, the opposite.

Urban warfare is inherently and historically costly against civilians and the infrastructure. All wars involve noncombatant death. The moral, legal requirement is to do proportionality assessments and take feasible steps to prevent excessive civilian harm.

So, using your logic Piers, if you can’t state how many combatants were killed (by Israel, Hamas, terrorist rockets, other terrorists in power struggles) … you can’t say (or allow your guests to say) Israel has killed a “large number of civilians” or “killed a disproportionate number of civilians” like you did in this very interveiw.

You can't spend years saying Israel is killing enormous numbers of civilians and then tell me nobody can estimate civilian deaths so ratios aren't valid. Those two positions can't both be true.

If casualty estimates are reliable enough to accuse Israel, then they're also reliable enough to examine civilian-to-combatant ratios. If they aren't, then they shouldn't be used selectively only when they support one conclusion.

Hundreds of miles of Hezbollah tunnels in Southern Lebanon (many fully equipped) are slowly being discovered. Funded (billions) by Iran for the sole purpose of planning and launching attacks against Israel… a terror army that should not be allowed to exist in Lebanon.

Hello @AOC, while you smiled in a hijab at a New York event, I was in Federal Court facing the 4th hitman hired by the Islamic Republic to assassinate me, for campaigning for Iranian women to have the same freedom you performed for a photo op. Will you come to court with me in August when I face the 5th hitman? Or does solidarity only work when it doesn't offend the Islamic regime?

You wore hijab voluntarily in New York. Women are killed in Iran for taking it off.

You are the very woman who, at every opportunity, protests against violence against women, decries gender segregation, and champions "inclusion." Yet here you stand, smiling and wearing a hijab, at an event in New York, in the heart of the West, where men and women are strictly separated. To me and millions of Iranian women, this does not look like a choice. It is no longer "My body, my choice," but rather "My body for votes."

They who claim to fight for women's self-determination in the name of feminism voluntarily embrace an ideology that mandates our women cover their hair simply because they are women. They enjoy the prosperity, freedom, and privileges of the Western world, where they may live as autonomous individuals , yet they simultaneously accept that other women should not be afforded the same rights.

Why are the children of Iranian regime elites living lavishly in Los Angeles, studying at American universities, and enjoying green cards in the United States?

During the Obama-era Iran deal push, relatives of hostage-takers, IRGC figures, and regime insiders were granted visas and residency. Now ICE arrests are exposing just how deep it went.

A lot of the domestic conversation about Iran focuses on whether the President wants a way out, fears escalation, or prices at gas pumps. I disagree. What is at stake is far bigger.

Two pillars of global stability and American strength are on the line: freedom of navigation and nuclear nonproliferation.

Freedom of navigation is the principle that no regime can be allowed to choke global commerce through coercion or force. That principle is what keeps the world economy functioning and has been a foundation of American power for decades.

If Iran is allowed to control international waterways and weaponize a global trade chokepoint like the Strait of Hormuz, the consequences will not stop there. Every major maritime chokepoint, the Strait of Malacca, Bab el-Mandeb, the Suez Canal, and beyond, becomes vulnerable to the same logic of coercion and extortion. The global economy depends on the principle that these waterways remain open to all nations, not controlled by force or threats.

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was built to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. Only 9 countries in the world possess them. We cannot allow a terrorist regime that sponsors militant proxies, threatens regional war, and violates international obligations to become the 10th.

Allowing Iran to weaponize the Strait of Hormuz or acquire a nuclear weapon would undermine both pillars and destabilize the global order.

California Rep Kevin Kiley says they have learned the $100 million dollar pacific palisades Fire Aid concert money was laundered to nonprofits

“What we have learned is absolutely beyond belief — Tens of thousands of people donated raising a hundred million dollars for what they was were told was direct relief for the victims. But now we've learned that this money didn't go to the victims at all. Instead, it went to nonprofits”

Here are some examples

- CA Native Vote Project: $100,000 for voter participation for Native Americans
- Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE): $250,000 for programs prioritizing undocumented immigrants
- Altadena Talks Foundation: $100,000 went to supported podcasts, including Toni Raines podcast
- NAACP Pasadena: $100,000 political advocacy
- Los Angeles Black Worker Center $550,000 to political advocacy organizations
- Center for Applied Ecological Remediation: $500,000 for fungus/microbe/plant soil remediation projects

Over $500,000 went to bonuses for nonprofit leaders and consultants

What happened at the University of Michigan is bigger than one speaker and it deserves more than an apology.

It’s well known Michigan has a large Jewish student body. The administration knew the speaker’s record and still handed him the mic—leaving those students isolated and targeted.

Protests on campus have repeatedly crossed the line: encampments, disrupted ceremonies, demonstrations at officials’ homes, clashes with police.

The first amendment must be protected but it doesn’t absolve anyone of consequences.

Universities have deep culture problems they must address. If they don’t, they should face repercussions.
