Unedited interview reveals Kamala's ‘excruciating’ incompetence: Douglas Murray

Sky News Australia   "Author Douglas Murray discusses reports that Paramount has agreed to pay $US16 million to US President Donald Trump to settle a lawsuit concerning an interview with former vice president Kamala Harris that aired on 60 Minutes.

“This is all just a reminder that despite her obvious inadequacy for the role of vice president, let alone president, there were so many people in the media, let alone the Democratic Party, who were just wafting her upwards, covering for her,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“You see in the unedited tape what we all knew, which was that she was hopelessly out of her depth, as indeed was her boss.

“The fact that so much of the media was willing to help her in that really is pretty astonishing.”

Immobilize the Mamifada

People who care what happens to New York City — which apparently does not include Cuomo and Sliwa or they wouldn’t need to be asked — have got to pressure the two spoilers to suspend their campaigns and endorse Adams.

"In New York City’s Democratic primary for mayor last week, Andrew Cuomo, the former governor, son of a former governor, once married to a Kennedy (that’s admirable in Democrat circles), lost to the preposterous creature, Zohran Mamdani, who promises government-run grocery stores, free child care, free buses and other great ideas that made the Soviet Union the powerhouse economy that it was — not counting those 70 years of bad weather.

"Mamdani calls himself a socialist, but that’s like Lia Thomas calling himself a woman. Socialism evokes nice Scandinavian countries, like Sweden. Except even Sweden doesn’t have government-run grocery stores, free child care and free buses. Sweden doesn’t proclaim — as Mamdani does — that the “end goal” is “seizing the means of production.” (And by the way, Sweden’s gentle socialism hasn’t been working quite so well ever since 800,000 people who look like Mamdani moved in.)

"Why can’t we call a communist a communist? The word is treated as a meaningless slur used only by right-wing kooks. It is a slur, but when a candidate is lobbying for seizing the means of production and pushing for government-run breadlines, it’s anything but meaningless. Does Mamdani have to be holding a copy of “The Communist Manifesto” for us to call him one?

"But why dwell on the negative? We’ll get back to Zohran. First, let’s take a moment to enjoy the good news: Cuomo is finished. He’s so far down the Anthony Weiner Highway, all that’s left is some dick pics being sent to teenage girls.

"Like a Shakespeare play, there’s something for everyone in former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s epic defeat. So many reasons to hate him, so little column space!

"There was his grandstanding idiocy as head of Clinton’s Department of Housing and Urban Development, where he pressured banks to take big risks in order to issue more mortgages to minorities. This was a crucial first step toward the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis that wrecked the economy, wrecked Lehman Brothers, wrecked Bear Stearns, and wrecked countless neighborhoods abandoned due to underwater mortgages.

"And let’s not forget the millions of New Yorkers cowering in their homes today, unable to leave after dark, take the subway or enjoy public parks, thanks to the no-bail law Cuomo pushed through in 2019. As Democrats were about to take control of both houses of the legislature for the first time since 1964, Cuomo announced that one of his top priorities would be to release violent criminals immediately after their arrest, without their having to spend a night in jail. Good to get them right back to menacing innocent taxpayers.

"His argument was that people were being put in jail “for the crime of being poor.” Yes, it seems that only the rich could afford to pay bail after knifing bodega owners, pushing New Yorkers in front of oncoming trains, sodomizing grandmothers, etc. Despite Cuomo’s no-bail law turning the city into a McDonald’s Play Place for criminals, he never questioned it, much less apologized.

"Cuomo’s indifference to public safety could have been because he was so busy killing thousands of nursing home residents — in addition to killing businesses, careers, childhoods and entire industries — with his disastrous COVID policies." . . .

Naturally, therefore, Fox News is encouraging people to waste their votes on him, splitting the non-lunatic vote. Since Mamdani’s primary win, Fox has promoted Sliwa in several flattering, primetime interviews.

Actor John Cusack: Iran 'Should Get' Nuclear Weapon Updated, 2 PM

Hollywood: what would we do without it and them? 

NEWSMAX

UPDATED

"Actor John Cusack, known for his anti-Israel views, said Iran should have access to nuclear weapons to combat the United States and Israel, Fox News reported on Wednesday.

"He said that roughly one week after President Donald Trump ordered the military strikes on three Iranian nuclear facility sites.

"Iran will surely rush to get a nuclear weapon — and they should get one," Cusack wrote in a social-media post on June 27. "It's the only way to deter the U.S. and Israel from bombing every country in the Middle East

"Cusack has been a longtime critic of the Trump administration and the Jewish state, particularly the Israeli government's operations in the Gaza Strip following the Hamas-led terrorist attacks in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

"Before posting about Iran, the actor also wrote that "blind allegiance" to Israel is an "alliance to a genocidal" regime, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "murderous gangster."

Hollywood was founded by Jews. But it ignores Hamas' pogroms  

. . ."John Cusack, that one-time 80s heartthrob, wrote on X: “I was out at the Palestinian march in Chicago. What I DID hear is – we must free Palestine from a brutal occupation – people concerned for their loved ones, in a hell zone, stuck without food, water, and power.”  

"Marvel superstar Mark Ruffalo word-saladed on Instagram: “Concerning the tragic events unfolding in Israel and Gaza, I am grief-stricken for the unspeakable suffering and loss of life and loved ones. This horrific violence must end."

Hamas chose this to get the best of all worlds: they could kill every Jewish mother, father and child they could find while being honored and praised by "elite" westerners. The Tunnel Dweller                             Below: An Israeli woman after being tied up and raped by Hamas

Democrats Are Freaking Out About 'Alligator Alcatraz'

PJ Media 

"That’s why every effort to secure the border is met with outrage from the left. It threatens their long-term political strategy. Trump’s crackdown exposes their agenda for what it is — a cynical power grab disguised as compassion, and they’re terrified that the American people are finally waking up to it." 

Rich Terrell

  "House Democrats are in full meltdown mode over the Trump administration’s latest move to get serious about border enforcement. The new detention facility, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” has opened its doors deep in the Florida Everglades, and now the same party that didn’t want Trump deporting criminal illegal aliens has declared that they don’t want him detaining them either.

"Twenty-four House Democrats, led by Reps. Janelle Bynum and Maxwell Frost, fired off a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Director Todd Lyons, demanding that they shut down the facility immediately. Their outrage is as predictable as it is stupid.

The Democrats’ letter is a laundry list of melodrama, painting the Everglades as a death trap: “This remote swamp is notorious for oppressive heat, relentless humidity, severe storms, and perilous terrain infested with venomous snakes, disease-carrying insects, and large predatory wildlife, including alligators and crocodiles.” 

"Yeah, that’s the point.

"According to them, the location is so remote that it’s “nearly impossible for separated family members and children to visit their detained loved ones, legal counsel to meet with their clients, and elected officials to provide oversight.” 

"Would they prefer El Salvador then?

"They call the facility an “inhumane stunt” and accuse the Trump administration of “deliberate placement of vulnerable immigrants into such a hostile and lethal environment,” which they claim “is morally reprehensible, inherently cruel, and starkly violates basic humanitarian standards.”  . . .

A second July 4th triumph that same holiday: Vicksburg surrenders

 On July 4, 1863, Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton surrendered the city of Vicksburg and the Confederate garrison defending it to Major General Ulysses S. Grant.  

. . . " Pemberton and Grant Negotiate the Surrender of Vicksburg  "After holding out for over six weeks, Pemberton sent Major General John S. Bowen through his lines under a white flag of truce with the following message addressed to Grant.

Headquarters, Vicksburg, July 3, 1863.

Major-General Grant, commanding United States forces: —

General — I have the honor to propose to you an armistice for ___ hours, with a view to arranging terms for the capitulation of Vicksburg. To this end, if agreeable to you, I will appoint three commissioners, to meet a like number to be named by yourself, at such place and hour to-day, as you may find convenient. I make this proposition to save the further effusion of blood, which must otherwise be shed to a frightful extent, feeling myself fully able to maintain my position for a yet indefinite period. This communication will be handed you under a flag of truce, by Major-General James Bowen.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

J. C. PEMBERTON.

"Brigadier General Andrew Jackson Smith received Bowen and forwarded Pemberton’s message to Grant. After considering Pemberton’s proposal, Grant replied:"

Headquarters, Department of Tennessee,

In the Field, near Vicksburg, July 3, 1863.

Lieutenant-General J. C. Pemberton, commanding Confederate forces, &c.: —

General — Your note of this date, just received, proposes an armistice of several hours, for the purpose of arranging terms of capitulation through commissioners to be appointed, &c. The effusion of blood you propose stopping by this course, can be ended at any time you may choose, by an unconditional surrender of the city and garrison. Men who have shown so much endurance and courage as those now in Vicksburg, will always challenge the respect of an adversary, and I can assure you will be treated with all the respect due them as prisoners of war. I do not favor the proposition of appointing commissioners to arrange terms of capitulation, because I have no other terms than those indicated above.

I am, General, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

U. S. GRANT, Major-General.

Upon surrender, General Grant visited Pemberton's headquarters to extend courtesies. This account describes his treatment by Confederate officers: 

. . . "No one even offered Grant a seat, and when he asked for a glass of water a member the Confederate staff merely told him where he could find it. The situation was a trying one, but Pemberton and his officers met it badly. Their behaviors unhandsome and disagreeable in the extreme while that of Grant and his staff was both modest and magnanimous to an extent to which the enemy had no just claim." . . .

 . . . "The last 'wallpaper' edition of the Vicksburg Citizen, still set on the presses when Grant's troops entered the city, stated:)

"Ulysses must get into the city before he dines in it. The way to cook a rabbit is 'first to catch the rabbit, &c..."
A 'Note' added by the Federal forces which entered Vicksburg on the 4th continued:
"Two days bring about great changes. The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg. General Grant has 'caught the rabbit.' He has dined in Vicksburg and he did bring his dinner with him..."

Israel Operation Red Wedding & Operation Narnia & Rising Lion

  AiTelly  "On June 13, 2025, as part of the broader Operation Rising Lion, Israel launched Operation Red Wedding—a highly coordinated strike that killed around 30 senior Iranian generals within minutes.

"The operation targeted a fortified underground bunker in Tehran, where Iran’s top missile and drone commanders were secretly meeting. The name, inspired by the infamous massacre from Game of Thrones, reflected the ambush-like nature of the mission. "The Deception That Made It Possible "Israeli intelligence had been working inside Iran for years, blending into local communities, gathering intel, and hacking communication channels. Through a long-running deception campaign, Mossad fed false intelligence to Iran’s leadership, prompting them to schedule a high-level military meeting at a specific location and time. "To sell the ruse, Israel staged diplomatic theater—including fabricating tensions with the United States—to convince Iran the coast was clear. Believing the bunker was secure, Iran’s top missile and drone commanders, including Brigadier General of the IRGC Aerospace Force, gathered to plan retaliation against Israel. "Unbeknownst to them, their movements were under constant surveillance. Signal interception, psychological operations, and electronic warfare were used to manipulate Iranian decision-making and ensure the meeting’s timing. Once the generals were assembled, Israel struck. "The Strike and the Weapons Used "The strike was surgical and devastating. Over 200 Israeli aircraft—including F-15, F-16, and F-35 —were involved, launching hundreds of precision-guided munitions such as J Dam bombs, Sparrow missiles, and Popeye cruise missiles. "AI-guided systems and advanced targeting pods ensured pinpoint accuracy, destroying the bunker with minimal collateral damage. "Drones and loitering munitions, smuggled into Iran months in advance, helped suppress air defenses and disrupt communications. Within minutes, the bunker was obliterated, killing all inside."
