Daring! Israeli Businessman Saves Three US Citizens, Including A Jew, From Execution In Congo

 In a story more reminiscent of a spy movie than reality, three American citizens—one of them Jewish—who had been sentenced to death in Congo were released and returned to the U.S. this week, following a dramatic operation led by Israeli-American businessman Motty Kahana. Behind the scenes, there was intense and dangerous international activity that ended with an emotional landing at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, D.C.

The three—Marcel Malenga (21), Tyler Thompson Jr. (21), and Benjamin Reuven Zalman-Polun (36)—were arrested for their involvement in a failed attempt to overthrow the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s president, Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, last year. While awaiting execution, Kahana—who has previously conducted rescue operations in Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Syria—worked tirelessly to change their fate.

In March, Kahana arrived in the Congolese capital, Kinshasa, together with two former U.S. State Department businessmen and members of CIA special units. The goal of the visit: to negotiate the prisoners’ release. Kahana described the trip as “three of the scariest days of my life,” after signs became clear that the Congolese hosts weren’t planning to play by the rules.

Despite what initially seemed like a warm welcome—including a meeting with Congo’s National Security Advisor—things quickly took a turn when their passports were repeatedly requested. Kahana suspected a trap, and indeed, American embassy representatives warned: “The Congolese are looking for an excuse to arrest you.” Their escape—nothing short of a thriller—happened at the last moment, as military forces attempted to stop their plane on the runway.

Although Kahana didn’t meet directly with the Congolese president, his mission wasn’t in vain. A friend of his had visited Kinshasa beforehand and delivered the message Kahana had planned to convey. Last week, the three Americans were notified: their death sentences had been commuted to life imprisonment, and they would be transferred to serve their sentences in an American prison.

Trump Honors The Lubavitcher Rebbe on Education and Sharing Day

 In a heartfelt tribute, the White House and President Donald Trump have proclaimed Education and Sharing Day USA, celebrating the enduring legacy of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the revered leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. The proclamation, shared via White House and POTUS, highlights the Rebbe’s profound influence on education, compassion, and moral clarity, while also reflecting on the President’s personal visit to the Rebbe’s Ohel—the resting place of Rabbi Schneerson—on October 7, 2024, marking the first anniversary of the devastating Hamas attacks in 2023.

In his statement, President Trump recounted the emotional and spiritual significance of his visit to the Ohel, where he sought guidance from the Rebbe’s timeless teachings.

 “On the first anniversary of the brutal October 7, 2023, attacks, I visited the Ohel of Rabbi Schneerson and drew spiritual guidance and replenishment from his voice and message,” he said. Joined by family members of American hostage Edan Alexander and Auschwitz survivor Jerry Wartski, the President described the experience as a poignant reminder of the persistent threat of antisemitism. “There, praying with the family members of American hostage Edan Alexander and Auschwitz survivor Jerry Wartski, I was personally reminded of the horrors of antisemitism. My commitment to combating it is unwavering,” he affirmed.

The President also emphasized his administration’s efforts to address the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, attacks, which he described as “murderous and criminal” acts perpetrated by Hamas. “My Administration has made great strides in bringing home all hostages captured during the murderous and criminal Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, and to securing peace and stability for the Jewish people in their homeland and around the world,” Trump stated, underscoring his dedication to both the safe return of hostages and broader regional stability.

The proclamation concluded with a call for national reflection on Rabbi Schneerson’s teachings, with President Trump and the First Lady encouraging Americans to embrace the Rebbe’s values. “The First Lady and I encourage all Americans to reflect upon the Rebbe’s teachings. His inestimable dedication and unwavering example have become woven into the very fabric of our Nation and its character,” he said. “His memory remains a blessing to the world.”

This tribute not only honors the Rebbe’s contributions to education and community-building but also reaffirms the administration’s resolve to confront antisemitism and support the Jewish people, drawing inspiration from a leader whose legacy continues to resonate globally.

SENATOR KENNEDY: IF IRAN GETS A NUKE, ISRAEL WILL SLAP THEM TO PLUTO

 

Jamaica Hospital Switched Long Island Man At Birth

 A New York man is suing a Queens hospital after a shocking DNA test revealed he was switched with another baby at birth and spent over six decades unknowingly living with the wrong family.

Kevin McMahon, of Selden, alleges that Jamaica Hospital’s negligence led to him being sent home with the wrong parents—a mix-up that went undiscovered for 60 years, according to a lawsuit filed in Queens Supreme Court.

The revelation came in late 2020, when McMahon’s sister, Carol Vignola, submitted her DNA to Ancestry.com. The results raised red flags when they showed no genetic connection to Kevin.

Instead, they linked her to a man named Ross McMahon, who coincidentally shared Kevin’s birthday–May 26, 1960–and birthplace–Jamaica Hospital.

Further digging revealed that Ross and Kevin were born just hours apart and their birth certificate numbers were consecutive. Eventually, DNA tests confirmed what seemed unthinkable: the two men had been switched at birth.

The lawsuit, filed in November 2021, accuses Jamaica Hospital of negligence and medical malpractice. McMahon claims the hospital failed to properly monitor and identify newborns, sending them home with the wrong families — a mistake he says caused “great emotional mental anguish, distress, pain, and agony.”

Even more devastating, McMahon says he was denied the chance to meet his biological parents, who both passed away before the truth came to light. The lawsuit also notes that he was raised in an “emotionally abusive” home — a life he believes could have been avoided had the error not occurred.

McMahon is seeking damages in an amount that exceeds the jurisdictional limits of lower courts. The case remains pending in Queens.

Daily Voice has reached out to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center for comment.

Trump’s given Iran a way out from impending war—they can do it the easy way or the hard way

 

“To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war,” Winston Churchill reportedly said. 

We will soon know if Iran agrees.

The talks scheduled for Saturday between Iran and the United States are shaping up as a crucial test of the mad mullahs’ intentions. If they are hell-bent on building nuclear weapons, war is inevitable.

It would be war with Israel and probably with America, too. For Iran, that means taking on the Little Satan and the Great Satan simultaneously. 

That’s what the crazy mullahs always said they wanted. If it hasn’t occurred to them yet, soon they will realize what a colossal mistake they have made. 

“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” President Trump said recently. “It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before.”

Nothing subtle about that!

A deal or destruction

The president, who revealed the planned weekend talks while meeting Monday in the Oval Office with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said, “I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious. 

“The obvious is not something that I want to be involved with, or frankly that Israel wants to be involved with if they can avoid it,” he said. “So we’ll see if we can avoid it . . . It’s getting to be very dangerous territory.”

The talks, to be held in Oman, will be direct negotiations, the president said, but Iran later said the talks would be “indirect,” meaning with a mediator. 

Either way, Trump’s bottom line is the absolute right one: Iran must dismantle its nuclear program and not just pretend to abide by restrictions and inspections aimed at preventing it from building a nuclear weapon.

Those were the major terms of the 2015 deal Barack Obama and Europe crafted, and Trump wisely canceled it during his first White House tenure because it lacked solid verification procedures and penalties. 

Because Iran was cheating on nearly every aspect of the deal and playing hide and seek with inspectors, there was no way to know with confidence what it was really doing.

Almost as bad, Iran was using billions of dollars Obama had unfrozen to fund its nuclear program and its terror proxies. Talk about a lose-lose. Naturally, Joe Biden foolishly aimed to reverse Trump’s reversal by trying to coax Iran back into another soft deal and even withdrew or stopped enforcing oil and banking sanctions to sweeten the offer. 

He also paid a reported $6 billion for the return of five American hostages. 

In return he got bupkis, demonstrating his fecklessness on the global stage. Thanks largely to his chaotic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan, our adversaries didn’t fear him, Iran included.
