GOP Congressman On The Ground In Israel Helping Evacuate Americans

Congressman Cory Mills (R-FL) flew to Israel overnight Tuesday to help evacuate Americans as Hamas terrorists continue their brutal attack on the country. 

Mills told The Floridian that he has so far helped 32 Americans get out of the country, but there are still hundreds of American citizens who remain “trapped.” The congressman, an Army veteran, told the outlet that he felt compelled to show “solidarity with our Israeli brethren and [help] Americans evacuate.”

The first-term congressman, who is a defense contractor and co-founded a private security company, was part of a team of military contractors who rescued an American family from Afghanistan after President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal of U.S. forces. 

Mills’ colleague, Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), told The Floridian that Mills had informed members of Florida’s congressional delegation that he would be traveling to Israel to help with the evacuation of Americans. The U.S. State Department said Wednesday that 22 Americans have been killed by Hamas terrorists since the attack began on Saturday. 

Former Texas Rep. Mayra Flores posted a photo of Mills in Israel, showing him with a group of American citizens. 

“My friend, Florida Representative Cory Mills, is currently on the ground in Israel, helping to evacuate American citizens who are trapped in Israel,” Flores wrote. “May God keep them safe as they continue their rescue efforts!”

Hamas has murdered more than 1,200 Israelis since the launch of its terror attack on Saturday, and the terrorists have also taken at least 150 hostages into the Gaza Strip where they have threatened to film their executions. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is preparing a ground operation to rescue the hostages, and U.S. special forces are reportedly helping the IDF with a possible rescue mission in the Gaza Strip.

“It’s not a war, it’s not a battlefield. It’s a massacre. You see the babies, the mother, the father, in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms, and how the terrorists killed them,” said IDF Major General Itai Veruv. “It’s something we used to imagine from our grandmothers, grandfathers in pogroms in Europe and other places.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger Won’t Discuss Affair In New Self-Help Book: ‘I Blew Up My Family’

Arnold Schwarzenegger said he won’t discuss the details of his extramarital affair in his new self-help book.

“I blew up my family,” the 76-year-old actor wrote in “Be Useful: The Seven Tools For Life,” slated for an October 24 release. “No failure has ever felt worse than that.”

“I won’t be rehashing that story here. I’ve told it before in other places, and other places have told it multiple times. All of you know the story. If you don’t, you’ve heard of Google, and you know how to find it,” the actor-turned-politician continued in the excerpt, per ET Online.

Schwarzenegger’s wife of almost 25 years, Maria Shriver, filed for divorce in 2011 after news of the actor’s affair with the family housekeeper Mildred Patricia “Patty” Baena went public. Schwarzenegger fathered a son with Baena. 

“I’ve hurt my family enough, and it’s been a long road to repair those relationships,” he wrote in the book. “I will not turn them into fodder for the gossip machine.”

The actor continued, “By the end of that year, I had found myself in a place that was both familiar and foreign. I was at the bottom. I’d been here before. But this time, I was face down in the mud, in a dark hole, and I had to decide whether it was worth it to clean myself up and start the climb out, or just give up.”

The former Republican governor of California discussed the end of his marriage during a May 2023 interview with ET. 

“[The divorce] was very, very difficult in the beginning. She and I are really good friends, and very close and we are very proud of the way we raised our kids, even though we had this drama, we did Easter together, Mother’s Day together, the Christmases together, all birthdays — everything together,” he told the outlet. “If there’s Oscars for how to handle divorce, Maria and I should get it for having the least amount of impact on the kids.”   

The couple shares four children together, Katherine, 33, Christina, 32, Patrick, 30, and Christopher, 26.

“My chapter with Maria will continue on forever,” he told People Magazine in a recent interview. “Even though it’s a different relationship, there’s no reason for me to feel anything other than love for her.”
