Kibbutz Be'eri Still in Shock after Hamas Massacred 10 Percent of its People  "KIBBUTZ BE'ERI, Israel – Still in shock, many Israelis are saying life will never be the same after the Hamas massacres in Israeli communities along the border with the Gaza Strip.

"One week after the attacks, CBN News visited Kibbutz Be'eri on the Gaza perimeter. Myriam Kadouch is a tour guide who regularly brought groups to Be-eri before that fateful day, October 7, 2023. 

" 'I bring delegations of people who want to know this beautiful area called – you know, the “fringe of Gaza” – because people don’t know these places used to be so green, to be paradise.  The place you wanted to grow your children in. This used to be paradise, all green full of flowers," Kadouch recalled.

"Ten percent of the people of Kibbutz Be'eri were killed. In just one of the community's buildings, 19 were killed, including 8 children.

" 'You see this devastation here," Kadouch reflected. "It’s not only the heart who bleeds. It’s like you’re saying to yourself, how will we be able to come back alive from that? This is just the pure devastation and the misery, and you understand all these people came to kill. An army of terrorists – thousands of them – were prepared, and they came to kill." . . .

Never Underestimate Joe’s Ability To Foul Things Up; He sent inflation to the highest levels in almost 40 years.

"There are many other gaps in the nags’ global warming narrative, which we have documented over the years, and they all add up to one thing: We’re being manipulated, bullied, conned, and robbed for no good reason whatsoever."

Toon added by TD

. . ."In 2020, when Joe Biden was running for office, he was thoroughly sullied when Barack Obama, his boss of eight years, said “​​don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up.” Over his three years and six months as president, Joe has amply demonstrated that Obama was correct. And he did it again this week, when his Environmental Protection Agency announced its “selected recipients of over $4.3 billion in Climate Pollution Reduction Grants to implement community-driven solutions that tackle the climate crisis, reduce air pollution, advance environmental justice, and accelerate America’s clean energy transition.” 

We predict the funds will do none of those things. The entire “initiative is just one small piece of the vast economic waste of the falsely named Inflation Reduction Act, with its multi-trillion dollars of subsidies for uneconomic projects,” says blogger Manhattan Contrarian, who incisively likens it to Mao’s “Great Leap Foward.”

"But that money is good for locking up votes for Democrats who are committed to carrying on their global warming foolishness, and for lining the pockets of grifters who will elect Democrats to keep the dollars rolling in.

"Of course, there’s no compelling or even slightly marginal reason to continue to spend taxpayers’ money on “fighting” global warming. Over the last year or so, our world busted right through the temperature limit that all previous spending was supposed to stop. The non-Fauci “science” had been warning us for decades that when Earth’s temperature was 1.5 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial levels it would “be catastrophic for the environment and human health,” meteorologist and healthy skeptic Anthony Watts writes.

"Yet we’re still here, some of us hot, some of us cool – even in the Northern Hemisphere’s summer." . . .

Where does Joe Biden rank among America's worst presidents? 

. . ."President Biden's time in the White House is mercifully coming to an end. He's now officially a lame duck with six months to go. 

"Biden was a victim here of a corrupt Democratic machine (with a complicit media) that thought it could pull off a grand election-year deceit despite Biden's failing cognitive abilities. 

"The establishment and a compliant media convinced millions of primary voters that he was of sound mind and ready to serve four more years. This lust for power put America in danger. How could they be so unpatriotic?

"So where will Biden stand in the history books? He wasn't a failed president because of his declining cognitive abilities. It was his policies that wrecked America." . . .  Hat tip to Harley Standlee; California

Men, Don’t ‘Shut Up,’ Rise Up — And ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’ For J.D.

 Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

"Barely a fortnight after your correspondent celebrated the ascension to the Republican ticket of a “champion of families,” even some self-styled “conservatives” are pushing to push J.D. Vance off an electoral cliff.

"His offense: asserting in a 2021 Tucker Carlson interview that America is “effectively run … by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives … and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”

"It seems that the Buckeye State’s junior senator was insulting heartbroken women suffering from infertility and that, per the wholly-Uniparty-owned Wall Street Journal editorial board, his remarks don’t “play well with the millions of female voters, many of them Republican, who will decide the presidential race.”

"The Journal’s suggestion: hide behind the skirts of his attorney spouse, Usha, who “might help persuade swing voters that Mr. Vance respects women more than his comments have made it seem.”

"Puh-lease.

"Let’s start with a little “necessary throat clearing,” as Vance put it in his epic “Civilizational Crisis” speech contemporaneous with the Tucker interview:

Look, a lot of people are unable to have kids for very complicated and important reasons. I know good friends of mine who struggled to find the right girl, find the right guy. There are people, of course, for biological reasons, medical reasons, that can’t have children. The target of these remarks is not them.

It’s one thing to recognize that there are people who don’t have children through no fault or choice of their own. But it’s something else to build a political movement, invested theoretically in the future of this country, when not a single one of them actually has any physical commitment to the future of this country.

Calm down, Democrats: Trump did not tell Christians he’ll be a dictator

 They know that; it's just an opportunity to gaslight shallow voters. TD

Hot Takes: Democrats Try Out 'JD Vance Is Weird' Smear, Social Media Obliterates It – RedState   . . ."Instead of taking a critical look at his policy stances or his career in the Senate, they are relying on a particular talking point: JD Vance is “weird.”

That’s right, folks. Democrats on the airwaves and interwebs have gotten the memo and, for some reason, it is telling them to convince the public that Vance is too weird to be vice president. This is an odd departure from the usual “Everyone who opposes us is racist,” but perhaps the left is trying to branch out?" 

"The talking point appears to have originated with Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who recently used it during an interview." . . .

Andrea Widburg - American Thinker  "On Friday, Trump spoke to a Turning Point USA Faith Believers Summit (i.e., an Evangelical Christian group). In the last minutes of his speech, according to Democrats, he announced that, if elected, he’ll end all elections, becoming a dictator for life. Of course, if you listen to Trump, he said something quite different: He will work to end election fraud so that, going forward, all true votes in America will be counted and Republicans can win, even if, as is usually he case, 40% of potential Evangelical voters stay home.

"The WaPo sums up the hysteria:" . . .

. . ."Although the WaPo quotes Trump accurately, it does so using deception through omission. I went to the full speech to see what Trump had said in context.

"What Trump said is that cheating is rampant in American elections. His goal, if elected, is to return to paper ballots and demand voter ID, all to ensure that real people, who are citizens, vote and that their votes are honestly counted. That’s not about ending elections and creating a dictatorship; that’s about ensuring honest elections, and not Kabuki theater with a pre-determined outcome that invariably favors Democrats. (So, you can see, of course, why Democrats are panicking.)" . . .

"First came the terrorists to kill; then came the Gazans with bags to loot the homes"

US Congress member.

"They were laughing"   "Hero kibbutz security guard relives battle against Hamas in Israel" The safe rooms were for protection from Hamas' rockets, not invaders.

"A hero kibbutz security guard has described how he battled Hamas terrorists despite being shot in the groin – and listened helpless as they killed a female paramedic in cold blood. Father-of-three Yair Avital, 38, had been woken by the sounds of explosions and alarms at the now infamous kibbutz Be’eri in southern Israel just three miles from Gaza. Desperate to protect his family and the other residents, he joined other security staff in a heroic eight-hour battle on October 7 that left dozens dead and himself seriously injured. Several of his team were killed, and another victim was paramedic Amit Mann, 22, who bravely tried to convince Hamas terrorists - who had surrounded the kibbutz dental clinic - to stop shooting."

Kamala Harris, are you paying attention to this?

First came the terrorists to kill; then came the Gazans with bags to loot the homes. Including those neighbors of Israelis who had worked at the homes and land of those the terrorists killed.

"Still in shock, many Israelis are saying life will never be the same after the Hamas massacres in Israeli communities along the border with the Gaza Strip.

Mark Levin had the best analysis yet of Kamala Harris

Peter Barry Chowka - American Thinker  

 "Mark Levin’s Saturday and Sunday prime time news analysis and commentary shows on FOX News, Life, Liberty & Levin, are appointment viewing but never more than last night. In his 19-minute program opening, Levin focused on Vice President Kamala Harris — the presumed Democrat nominee for president who was anointed less than a week ago.

"To illustrate his searing commentary, Levin showed a variety of video clips of Harris in her own words. Several of these, he said, were newly discovered and being shown for the first time.

"Fortunately, FOX News has posted the entire 19-minute segment online with free, open access. I cannot recommend it highly enough. If your blood isn’t boiling already at the possibility of Harris becoming the 47th President of the United States in November’s election, this video will seal the deal.

"Levin’s unique value lies in bringing his vast knowledge of politics, the law, and the Constitution to bear on subjects he focuses on. He is also an excellent communicator, after years of experience hosting a successful nationally syndicated radio talk show, authoring a number of bestselling books, and appearing on countless television programs in addition to his own popular show since 2018 on FOX News.

"I transcribed a brief part of [Sunday]’s segment. It represents less than ten percent of the 19 minutes." . . .

Biden Abandons the Court . . . and His Last Inviolate Principle

 "Below is my column in the New York Post on President Joe Biden’s call to reform the Supreme Court by ending lifetime tenure for Supreme Court justices." Jonathan Turley

Biden Abandons the Court . . . and His Last Inviolate Principle – JONATHAN TURLEY     "President (and Supreme Court Chief Justice) William Howard Taft once said “presidents come and go, but the Supreme Court goes on forever.”

"But not if Joe Biden has his way. Indeed, both the president and Court as we know it could be gone.

"In a failed attempt to save his nomination, Biden offered to “reform” the Court by imposing an 18-year term limit that would jettison the three most senior conservative justices.

"With only six months left in his presidency, Biden’s efforts are likely to fail, but, unfortunately, could set the stage for activists under a Harris Administration in seeking to change the Court forever.

"For more than 50 years, Biden staunchly refused to play politics with the Supreme Court and support calls for “reforms” from the left of his party.

"For a politician who has long been criticized for changing positions with the polls on issues from abortion to criminal justice to gun rights, the Court was one of the few areas of true principle for Biden.

"Even though he refused to answer questions on packing the Court in the 2020 election, he ultimately rejected the call as president.

"Yet Biden’s final principle fell this month when facing the premature and involuntary end of his candidacy. Faced with being a one-term president, the Supreme Court would have to be sacrificed.

"Biden opted for the least of the evils in pushing for term limits rather than court packing.

It was the more popular option for Biden to yield on. Voters have always loved term limits.

"The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found 67% of Americans, including 82% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans, support a proposal to set finite terms for justices.

"But there were few law professors and even fewer Democratic members clamoring for term limits until conservatives secured a stable majority on the Court. Then, suddenly, the Court had to be “reformed” without delay.

"It is no accident that the first three justices who would be term limited off the Court are conservatives: Clarence Thomas (after 33 years on the Court), Chief Justice John Roberts (after 19 years), and Justice Samuel Alito (after 18 years).

Think, however, about the iconic decisions we would have lost with term limits in place. Liberal Justice Williams Douglas’s 36 years on the Court would have literally been cut in half. He would have been kicked off in 1957." . . .

Who Normalized Political Violence in America?

 Lee Smith - Tablet Magazine  "Democratic Party officials and media deny that there’s any connection between their inflammatory rhetoric labeling Donald Trump a fascist, would-be dictator, and even Adolf Hitler and the attempt on the 2024 Republican candidate. But media executives must believe Trump supporters have a point or MSNBC wouldn’t have given Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski a 24-hour timeout Monday to put some distance between the shooting and the fare that Morning Joe has been dishing out for nearly a decade. Same
with music industry executives who canceled Jack Black’s worldwide music tour after the funnyman’s bandmate told an Australian audience that his birthday wish was “Don’t miss Trump next time.” Politics aside, no concert promoter was going to pay the insurance premium required to host a band that celebrated attempted murder.  

"Republicans on Capitol Hill are angry at The New Republic after a recent issue put an image based on a Hitler campaign poster on its cover. The editors claim they weren’t entirely committed to the Trump=Hitler formula, but, as they wrote, “he’s damn close enough, and we’d better fight.”

"In a way, left-wing journalists who say it’s not their fault the 20-year-old man whose adolescence was saturated with murderously anti-Trump rhetoric tried to kill Trump have a point. The media is reactive, not creative. Democrat-aligned media didn’t invent the idea that the Democratic Party’s 2020 candidate was, despite massive video and audio evidence to the contrary, cognitively 100%. They just sang from the sheet they were handed.

"And when Joe Biden proved incapable of finishing a sentence without devolving into gibberish during his debate with Trump last month? It wasn’t the media that left him out there to melt like a Madame Tussauds simulation of a living person. In fact, the media was embarrassed by Biden’s performance—and in front of the people they hate most, Trump supporters, who have been saying for four years that Biden is in obvious decline. So, the media reacted—Joe must go! But that’s not their call. If media personalities had real power, no one would have dared muzzle Joe and Mika, not even for 24 hours.

"So, who created the climate of political violence?" . . .

Next, the left justifies the use of violence against Trump and anybody they oppose:

. . ." Thus, the left is laying down the predicate for future violence against Trump and the half of the country that supports him: It’s OK to target them because being “at both ends of the bullet’s trajectory,” they brought it upon themselves." . . .

Do Teachers Unions Actually Care about Kids?

 Heather Carson - Intellectual Takeout  

"So what then is to be done? In order for public education to be effectively transformed, the stranglehold of the unions must be demolished." . . . 

Toon added by TD

"The 1857 formation of teachers unions was intended to elevate the profession of teaching with the ultimate goal of benefiting the students. The basic idea was to professionalize teaching and standardize education for both teachers and students to ensure a good learning experience for all.

"Unions became a popular means of advocating for various groups in the mid-1800s. Teachers unions, primarily comprised of women, utilized momentum from the feminist movement to fight for higher pay, standardization of educational goals, and better conditions for students, including smaller class sizes, which teachers deemed essential for better learning.

"Despite these goals, the actions taken by teachers unions have not always benefited students. The problem lies not in the care and concern of individual teachers. I know many amazing teachers, truly gifted in their teaching methods and their ability to connect with their students. The problem lies with public education as a whole—its training of teachers and its submission to  unions which protect teachers from getting the necessary direct feedback from the children and families they supposedly serve.

"Nowhere was this more evident than during the pandemic where, in many districts, the unions actually prevented teachers and students from going back to in-person learning despite all the evidence that any serious danger of infection was past." . . .

. . ."Parents are opting out of public schools at great personal cost to themselves financially since they must pay local public school tax assessments regardless. This puts teachers unions in a very powerful position. The unions and teachers are effectively immune from the feedback that would be present in a free market situation. They get their tax money either way—even from parents who do not wish to use the public schools." . . .

The Biden 10-step plan for global chaos | VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

 Victor Davis Hanson | Opinion (reviewjournal.com)

Why is Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador bragging that millions of Mexicans have entered the United States, most of them illegally? And why is he interfering in U.S. elections by urging his expatriates to vote for Democrats? 

"Why is French President Emmanuel Macron cozying up to China while trashing his oldest ally, the United States?

"Why is there suddenly talk of discarding the dollar as the global currency?

"Why are Japan and India shrugging that they cannot follow the U.S. lead in boycotting Russian oil?

"Why is the president of Brazil traveling to China to pursue what he calls a “beautiful relationship”?

"Why is Israel suddenly facing attacks from its enemies in all directions?. . .

"The Pentagon refused to admit culpability and misled the country about Afghanistan and the Chinese spy balloon flight. The current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff called his Chinese communist counterpart and head of the People’s Liberation Army to advise him that the U.S. military would warn the Chinese if it determined an order from its commander in chief, former President Donald Trump, was inappropriate.

"This list of these self-inflicted disasters could be easily expanded.

"But the examples explain well enough why our emboldened enemies do not fear us, our triangulating allies judge us unreliable and calculating neutrals assume America is in descent and too dangerous to join.

"Yet without America, the result is a new Chinese order in which, to quote the historian Thucydides, “The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”

UPDATED: Israel and her questionable ally America

LATE UPDATE: Harris Says 'I Will Not Be Silent' About Dead Kids in Gaza War — Unless They're Israeli Kids – PJ Media   "Democrat presidential nominee-apparent Kamala Harris said last week she "will not be silent" about suffering children in Gaza, while practically ordering Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stand down in a one-sided ceasefire deal with Hamas terrorists.

"That was Thursday. On Saturday, in the north of Israel, a Hezbollah rocket launched from Lebanon struck a sports complex filled with children playing soccer, killing 11 children and wounding about 30 more. According to IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, it was the deadliest single attack on Israel since the Hamas terror invasion of Oct. 7 that left 1,200 dead and more than 200 kidnapped. 

"The silence from Kamala Harris is deafening." . . . 

Will you also not be silent about this, Kamala?  Tunnel Wall: Hamas announced the death of the youngest hostage Kfir Bibas (10 months old). The mom, brother, and dad are dead too.

Democrats are happy to abandon Israel - who simply want to live in peace with their homes and families - and support Hamas-Gaza whose men killed those Jewish families wherever they found them - and murdered them and their children with absolute glee! The Tunnel Dweller

 Anybody paying attention to what just happened in Israel? - Jack Hellner  

I thought the media would be embarrassed by now about all their lies about Russian collusion or covering up the laptop and Biden family corruption, but I was wrong. They are congenital liars, just like Biden, Obama, and Harris. 

 "I get news items in my email from the New York Times and the Washington Post every day, giving updates and headlines but I didn't see information about a mass killing yesterday in Israel. I also didn't see this information at the top of Drudge or Yahoo! News.

"Clearly, this kind of news didn't help them in their efforts to elect Kamala Harris and to continue the Biden-era world disasters. 

"Iranian terrorists targeted and killed several children yesterday.

 

"I guess they were disposable. I also haven't heard a word about those children from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, or their spokesman, John Kirby, yet. 

 

"Trump kept the price of oil throughout his four years low, and that essentially kept Iran and Russia in check. Trump got the Abraham peace accords and Obama, Biden and their team of useful idiots let that go by the boards and essentially built up the finances of Iran, which pledges death to Israel and death to America. Europe also helps Iran. High oil prices also fund Russian killing in Ukraine." . . . 

Netanyahu’s historic speech; "The prime minister spoke truth to the powers of evil and received an overwhelmingly enthusiastic reception."

. . .The attempted demonization and public shaming of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by the Democrat Party in Congress and the barbarian demonstrators at the gates calling for Jewish blood remain upon us.

Vice-President Kamala Harris, the designated Democrat Party presidential candidate, chose to attend the gathering of a historically black sorority, Zeta Phi Beta, instead of presiding over Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. This is Harris’s first-ever foreign policy decision. . . .

. . ."Netanyahu dared to name America as the major impediment to stopping Iran. He is right. Only Israel is standing in Iran’s way. Israel is, in effect, protecting America. Iran has been attacking American soldiers for many years now. Only Israel has gone up against it." 

JNS poll: Israelis support Donald Trump over Joe Biden - CarolineGlick.com

 UK Daily Mail (msn.com)  "President Joe Biden has called for sweeping reforms to the Supreme Court, including term limits, a binding code of conduct for its nine justices and a constitutional amendment that would limit presidential immunity.

"Biden, citing 'recent ethics scandals' involving justices and high court rulings that 'overturned long-established legal precedents protecting fundamental rights', has called on Congress to pass three major reforms in a bid to 'restore trust and accountability' in America's democratic institutions.

"The White House on Monday detailed the contours of Biden's court proposal, noting how the Democrat believes 'no one - neither the President nor the Supreme Court - is above the law'.

"The President will officially propose the changes today during a speech in Austin, Texas, however, his proposals appear to have little chance of being approved by a deeply divided Congress with just 99 days to go before Election Day. 

"Regardless, Democrats hope Biden's proposal will help to focus voters as they consider their choices in the tight presidential election. 

"Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has sought to frame her race against Republican former President Donald Trump as 'a choice between freedom and chaos'." . . .

OPINION: Biden's Supreme Court 'Reform' Is a Lame Duck Fantasy by a Failed Little Man – RedState   "Joe Biden used the op-ed page of the Washington Post rather than an address to the nation to announce his anticipated "reform" plan for the US Supreme Court on Monday. This eleventh-hour grasp for power and relevance was brought on by the US Supreme Court ruling against Biden's attempt to use the Executive Branch as the only branch of government and manipulate it to punish his political opponents contrary to law and custom." . . .
