America: Israel's cowardly ally

 Israel Did Not Inform US of Hezbollah Strike Plans - and Why Should They?

. . ."Israel is under no obligation to inform the United States of its operational plans, against Hezbollah or anyone else — and given the disorganization and lack of competence of the Biden administration, one can scarcely blame them for playing things close to their chests." . . .

 The long-term consequences of U.S. intel leaks - CarolineGlick.com

The leaks weren’t only geared towards preventing an airstrike or commando raid on Iran’s installations. They were directed as well against Israel’s efforts to undermine the Iranian nuclear program through cyberwarfare and other forms of sabotage.

With friends like these who needs enemies?

"On Wednesday, Fox News and The Jerusalem Post ran stories based on a report from Kuwait’s Al-Jarida newspaper claiming that the U.S. had revealed to Iranian authorities the identities of 10 Mossad agents in Iran who allegedly were involved in the July 31 assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

"Al-Jarida claimed its report was based on information provided by a member of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. The alleged source told the Kuwaiti paper that U.S. officials had visited Iran secretly after the assassination with the goal of appeasing the regime. They told their Iranian counterparts that Israel had not informed them of its plans to kill Haniyeh and proceeded to provide them with the Mossad agents’ identities.

"On Thursday, Fox News deleted the story and the Post updated its report. The updated article led with the news that the U.S. National Security Council denied the Kuwaiti story.

"On Wednesday night, I shared the Post report on my X account. My post received well over one million views. Following the Post’s publication of its revision and Fox’s deletion of its initial report, I deleted my post and shared the Post’s revised story.

"Given the severity of the charge, why were Fox News and the Post so quick to report the Al-Jarida story? Why was my initial inclination to lend credence the report? The answer, in short, is that the Biden-Harris administration, like the Obama-Biden administration before it, has a track record of leaking Israeli operations in Iran." . . .

"Consider just a few well-known and widely reported examples.

"In May 2022, senior IRGC commander Sayyed Khodei was killed by gunmen outside his home. The gunmen escaped the scene on a motorcycle. According to Israeli officials, Khodei served as deputy commander of IRGC Unit 840 and was involved in planning cross-border plots against foreigners, including Israelis. At the time he was killed, Khodei was reportedly planning the assassination of French Jewish philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy.

"To avoid the prospect of retaliation and escalation, Israel did not claim responsibility for the strike. But Biden officials told The New York Times that Israel had killed him. The operation was carried out during Naftali Bennett’s premiership and Bennett and his associates were reportedly angered by the administration’s move, which raised the prospect of increased Iranian violence against the Jewish state." . . .

Obama-Biden-Harris is more than willing to cause the death of Israel's defenders as they are that of Donald Trump. Below: the work of Hamas, the Keffiyeh scarf people. TD

That Wasn’t An Interview. It Was A Campaign Rally

 Bob Maistros – Issues & Insights   

. . ."Which makes one wonder (wink, wink, nod, nod): Might Ms. Harris have actually been tipped off just a bit as to possible subject matter? Nah. Who needs that when the questioner is lobbing up not softballs, but beach balls?" . . .

Does this location give her street cred?

"Why? Because real reporters’ obsession is gettin’ ya in a “gotcha.” Pushing, prodding, twisting words out of context, and generally making nuisances of themselves. Especially hard-bitten, cynical, and largely antagonistic business journalists.

"Ah, that word. Journalist. A concept sorely lacking in the “interview” of Kamala Harris by MSNBC/NBC’s Stephanie Ruhle.

"Put aside that if you were playing the drinking game and had “dreams,” “ambitions,” “aspirations,” “opportunity economy,” and “middle-class family” on your Kamala bingo card, you were smashed before the first break. 

"That her veepness trotted out the usual canards about the “border security bill” (that ensured the polar opposite). The “worst economy since the Great Depression” Donald Trump supposedly left behind (a fiction recently dispatched on these pages). Women dying because of post-Roe restrictions (as opposed to complications from medically induced abortions).

"And that the airhead who once claimed that smaller tax refunds reflected a middle-class tax hike called Donald Trump “not very serious” about economic issues.

"The real issue with the “interview” – the individual styled as “NBC News Senior Business Analyst” seemed curiously uninterested in analysis.

"Talk about “not very serious.” Instead of questions, Ruhle offered up the Democratic candidate’s own campaign stump soundbites – and then re-affirmed and reinforced her responses. 

"Don’t take my word for it. Check the transcript:

Canada is fining the Amish $300,000 for not downloading a COVID app

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

"Trudeau mandated that the COVID app was for the good of Canadians. Therefore, all Canadians must get with the program. Those who didn’t made themselves enemies of the loving state and they must pay. By defying the government’s love, they’ve lost the privilege to have freedom of conscience and religion."

"A month ago, news broke that, up in Canada, Justin Trudeau’s government is fining the Amish community $300,000 ($222,660 American dollars). Their crime? They didn’t download the government’s COVID app. The twist, of course, is that the Amish don’t have smartphones. They eschew all modern technology. This story has made almost no headlines, but it’s important because it’s a preview of coming attractions if Kamala becomes president. This is what leftists do. Acting for your own good, they destroy you.

"As anyone who has watched either Witness or Weird Al Yankovich’s brilliant Amish Paradise knows, the Amish lifestyle does not embrace modernity. To hark back to another American pop culture moment, the Amish have “no phone, no lights, no motor car, not a single luxury. Like Robinson Crusoe, it’s primitive as can be.” This is not because the Amish are victims. They have embraced a lifestyle of pre-modern simplicity because their faith calls upon them to live this way." . . .

If you watch Kamala, her message—her “joy” and “vibes”—is the same as Trudeau’s. I’m the embodiment of a loving government. Just do what I say. But if you don’t, look at what happened to Donald Trump and everyone near him. And don’t believe that we won’t do it to you, too.

Democrat Sen. Wyden's Bill to Destroy the Supreme Court

 M. Dowling (independentsentinel.com)  

As always, Democrats want all the power of government, and they will destroy whatever they don’t like.

 

"Far Left Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) sponsored legislation to destroy the Third Co-Equal Branch of government because they don’t like recent decisions.

"The bill would stack the Court, adding six Justices. The Court would undergo audits, putting them under the authority of Congress. They would no longer be a co-equal branch of government, but another politicized entity.

"Wyden’s bill is called the Judicial Modernization and Transparency Act. It would expand the court over 12 years. A president could appoint one nominee in the first and third years of a term in office.

"The bill would also require a ruling by two-thirds of the high court and the circuit courts of appeals, rather than a simple majority, to overturn a law passed by Congress.

"Another measure would allow a two-thirds vote of the court to force a fellow justice to recuse from a case.

"The Justices would be mandated to report all their personal and professional business.

The legislation would also require Supreme Court nominees to be automatically scheduled for a vote in the Senate if their nominations have lingered in committee for more than 180 days. It would prevent the minority from having a no vote." . . .

With Millions of new citizens let in by Biden-Harris who know nothing-NOTHING about our Constitution or system of government, and given prizes and gifts from Democrats, America will no longer be the nation we have cherished. Multiply The Squad by several hundred thousand.

. . ."Another purpose was to “rub the right’s nose in diversity,” which lines up perfectly with what the American left has been up to for several decades, because the right unabashedly, and sincerely, loves this country, and that triggers the other side.

"The Democratic Party, Kamala Harris now its titular chief, unleashed illegal immigration after Donald Trump nearly closed the spigot. The lawlessness returned on Jan. 20, 2021, when the new president, Joe Biden, used executive orders to begin rolling back Trump’s border security policies. They were too successful for the left’s refined tastes, so Biden had to kill them." . . .

Hillary just may be the worst person in the world

 Patricia McCarthy - American Thinker

  Too many young people do not know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. They’ve been brainwashed by decades of leftist propaganda, propaganda that has infected them to the point that they are unable to discern the difference between the truth and blatant lies. Try and tell them they are misguided and suffer their all-knowing wrath — like those Hamas-loving college students throughout the country who were, shockingly,  supported by their university administrations!   This is the Democrat party today, remade by people like Obama, Biden, Harris, and yes, Hillary, their queen of mean.  Americans are sick of her narcissistic, hateful rants. She just may be one of the worst people in the world. 

"Is there a person on the planet that does not know that Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most bitter, angry and hostile political person in the country?  Probably not; even those who may have supported her in the past have to know that she’s gone ‘round the bitter bend.  Trump’s victory in 2016, despite all the cheating the left had in place, rendered her permanently damaged, deranged with fury; how could anyone vote for Trump over her she wondered.  Trump broke her so badly that she remains thoroughly deranged.

"Now she wants to jail anyone who opposes her Saul Alinsky version of Marxism.  She worshiped Alinsky, and wrote her college thesis about him.  He was an evil entity who dedicated his little book to Lucifer.  But since he wrote that little book, the left/Democrat party has embraced and followed his “Rules for Radicals.”  It is a nasty little treatise, something akin to Mao’s little red book that laid out his cultural revolution that led to more deaths than Stalin or Hitler.  In short, Hillary Clinton and her Marxist pals are still trying to sell their evil ideology to the increasingly easily indoctrinated generations that have been taught to not think for themselves, or even to vote in their best interests, but in the interests of their self-appointed betters.  The dumbing down of two or maybe three generations of Americans has done horrific damage to our country. 

"Hillary is still so enraged at Trump and his supporters, she penned an op-ed in the Washington Post in order to double down on her “basket of deplorables”slur.  She accuses them of being drawn to “his racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia.” Of course, Trump supporters are not drawn to any of those things.  Trump is none of those things.  In fact, it is a safe bet that among his vast number of friends, there are far more people of color than HRC has ever had on her rolodex.

"But now she says her “deplorables” comment “did not go far enough,” that it was an “important truth.”  Then she invoked the thoroughly debunked Charlottesville lie and, of course, January 6th which was, as most people have concluded by now, a set-up to stop any recounts in disputed states before certification of the 2020 election. . . ." 

Most thinking Americans realize that the Democrat party is no longer the party of JFK, but too few realize how much damage it has done to the nation over the last fifty years.  The party likes to call itself progressive but it is actually frighteningly regressive. . .

Now that millions of migrants are safely in the states, Kamala Harris visits border and vows to close the barn door next year

 

Monica Showalter - American Thinker

Now that news has broke that the Harris-Biden administration's illegal border surge has deposited more than 425,000 criminals, including 13,000 killers and 15,000 rapists into our country, she apparently thinks she can find just enough dumb people to buy her border claims to vote for her. 

The Border Patrol Union (NBPC) has been lambasting Kamala for her border stunt Friday where she spent 20 minutes for a photo op trying to make everyone forget that over the past 3 1/2 years she let in 20 million illegals pic.twitter.com/wXRqeRnabo

— Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸 (@Bubblebathgirl) September 28, 2024

"Now that the millions of illegal migrants are in, and tens of thousands have gotten busy committing crimes against Americans as well as sopping up welfare programs, Kamala Harris has decided to visit the border in a new campaign stop in swing state Arizona to proclaim how "tough" she is on the matter. Five years ago, she called the crisis "fictional."

"And pay no attention to the past three years, where she served as Joe Biden's border czar, where she visited the border once on a stopover on the way to Brentwood, California.

"According to the New York Post:

Vice President Kamala Harris made her first visit to the US-Mexico border as the Democratic presidential nominee Friday to hastily announce measures meant to mitigate the ongoing border crisis fewer than 40 days before election day — despite having been the White House border “czar” for more than three-and-a-half years.

“The United States is a sovereign nation, and I believe we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them,” Harris, 59, said at a rally after touring a section of the border wall in Cochise County.

“And I take that responsibility very seriously.”

She announced that if elected the 47th president, she would improve on an executive order announced by President Biden in June that barred migrants from applying for asylum when they cross the border illegally.

"She cut a fashionable figure in her what some say was a $76,000 necklace, and expensive linen safari jacket topper over an urban-hipster black top and pants to create an elongated line, and stylin' black high-heeled boots; her hair blow-dried and expensively coiffed. It created just the right study-in-desert-neutrals color contrast against the Trump-constructed border wall.

"It was kind of like a Vogue fashion shoot or an Instagram vanity post." . . .

 

Victor Davis Hanson: October/September surprises!

  Victor Davis Hanson (jewishworldreview.com) 

"Yet were the Zelenskyy sudden Pennsylvania drop-in and his crude domestic politicking and trashing of Trump and Vance all that wise? After all, Harris's opponent Trump had just escaped an assassination attempt from a pro-Ukrainian gunman . . ." 

"An October surprise is usually defined as the well-known (and more often left-wing) tactic of manufacturing or unloading a news story right before voting to surprise a rival without allowing them time sufficiently to respond or recover.

"Think of the last-minute bombshell disclosure, five days before the 2000 election, that candidate George W. Bush had been cited for drunk driving over a quarter-century earlier. That surprise may have cost Bush the popular vote that year.

"Sometimes, an incumbent can use his powers of office to warp the election. President Joe Biden benefited before the 2022 midterm elections when leftist activists leaked the impending Supreme Court repeal of Roe v. Wade.

"Closer to the actual voting, Biden sought to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars of student debt owed to the federal government. He also began draining the strategic petroleum reserve to lower gas prices (as he is doing again this election year as well). No wonder the predicted Republican midterm red wave ended up a tiny ripple.

More often, October surprises are more ad hominem and unleashed on a rival candidate's supposedly previously undisclosed failings.

At the end of the 2016 campaign, Hillary Clinton's team leaked news of her purchased bogus "Steele Dossier" as supposed proof of Trump-Russian "collusion."

"On the eve of the last 2020 presidential debate, Biden delegated now Secretary of State Antony Blinken to work with former interim CIA Director Mike Morrell to round up "51 former intelligence authorities." They were to lie that the incriminating Hunter Biden laptop was likely a product of a Russian intelligence "disinformation" operation.

"The ruse worked — turning potential proof of Biden family corruption into a replay of the fake 2016 Trump-Russian collusion hoax.

"This time around, apparently the Harris campaign could not wait until October or early November to spring their surprises.

"Perhaps the Harris campaign's impatience is due to Democratically-inspired radical changes to state voting laws." . . .

AOC's 'Red Light' district overrun with prostitutes as locals call her out. Still wanna defund the police?

  Fox News  "Part of Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's New York City district is lined with prostitutes"

"It’s the Third World meets Bangkok.

"In "Squad" member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district in New York City, those who are described as scantily dressed migrant prostitutes line blocks of a long commercial strip during all hours of the day and night, brazenly soliciting sex to passersby while their pimps strike fear into local business owners, one of whom told Fox News Digital he’s been threatened for speaking out and is on the verge of closing his store.

"The trash-filled streets of Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, which encompasses the migrant-heavy communities of Corona, Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, has become a veritable hotbed for one of the world’s oldest professions, and residents say that most elected officials and police are turning a blind eye to the neighborhood nightmare, which looks more like the famed brothel-filled red-light district streets of Bangkok than one of America’s biggest cities.

"Illegal vendors also overrun the sidewalks, plying their hustle in what residents have likened to "Third World" conditions, cooking hot food out in the open devoid of any health certifications or inspections as hungry birds swoop down in search of leftovers and leaving their droppings along the way." ----

Soros-Walz dinner date reveals who pulls Dems' strings

 Matt Palumbo (nypost.com)  

"Walz is of the same vein: As Minnesota’s governor he allowed rioters to burn and loot Minneapolis in 2020. Countless prosecutors backed by Soros refused to prosecute rioters that year, and Harris herself encouraged the unrest by boosting a “bail fund” in a tweet she has yet to delete. "

-------

"Far-left billionaire George Soros has invested heavily in the narrative that anyone who notes that the web of influence he’s spun does in fact exist must be a conspiracy theorist — or worse, an antisemite.

"His son Alex Soros, who was handed the keys to the $25 billion kingdom last year, has gone the opposite route: He practically brags about his sphere of influence on social media, where he posts photos of all the heads of state and influential figures he’s cozied up to, including Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi — and Kamala Harris.

"Surely some of them wish Alex was a bit more private; when Soros met with Harris in June of last year (and posted the evidence to his socials) the tete-a-tete was excluded from Harris’ public schedule, implying that she thought that could prevent people from noticing. 

"The younger Soros has visited the Biden White House two dozen times — with visible consequences, the latest being the FCC’s race to approve a Soros takeover of over 200 radio stations ahead of the presidential election.

"And the Soros influence will only increase further in a Harris-Walz presidency.

"During the 2024 Democratic National Convention, Alex tweeted out photos of himself and beau Huma Abedin (she sure knows how to pick ’em) with VP nominee Tim Walz — and this week, Soros dined with Walz in his NYC home, posting a snap of the two with the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop."   (Emphases mine, TD)

Why Did George Soros Buy 200 U.S. Radio Stations Right Before the Election?

Trump built it but I rule it!

A word from Miranda Devine

 Scott W. Johnson | Power Line  

"Gina Raimondo, called for Trump to be “extinguished for good” during an interview on the Trump-deranged MSNBC."

"In her Devine Online newsletter this morning, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine takes up President Biden’s appearance on The View yesterday. For those of us who missed it, Devine writes:

Joe Biden is still president and, on Wednesday, when he appeared on ABC’s rancid talk show, “The View,” he showed himself, yet again, to be morally unfit for the job.

Just ten days after the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, Biden pretended to squash his predecessor like a bug on the table. His unfunny slapstick came after host Whoopi Goldberg launched an anti-Trump rant in which she compared the former president to an annoying “bug.”

You’d think Biden might be less reckless after he called for Trump to be put in a “bullseye” days before the first assassination attempt.

The president’s callous disregard for the burgeoning Iranian threat against Trump’s life has set the tone for his administration.

Also on Wednesday, Commerce Secretary and Kamala Harris surrogate, Gina Raimondo, called for Trump to be “extinguished for good” during an interview on the Trump-deranged MSNBC.

At this stage, MSNBC ought to be investigated by the FEC for donations in kind to the Harris campaign.

We know that will never happen, But the dangerous rhetoric coming out of the Harris-Biden administration has to stop.

"Somewhat less harshly than I might, Devine speaks for me."

‘Important Truth’: Hillary Defends Calling Trump Supporters ‘Deplorables’

 Mary Chastain (legalinsurrection.com) 

Kamala's incompetence can only be negated by making us all hate Donald Trump much more. TD 

"Yes, Hillary. Let the hate run through you.

In her latest book, the failed presidential candidate defended her comments for calling former President Donald Trump’s supporters “deplorable,” which she posted in a Washington Post op-ed.

Leading up to her comments, Hillary described her time with former white supremacist Shannon Foley, who now reaches out to those and helps them shed their racism.

Hillary couldn’t believe Foley felt empathy for them. I get that because I highly doubt Hillary has ever felt empathy.

Hillary “marveled at the empathy Shannon managed to summon for even the most (yes, let’s say it) deplorable bigots.” Yeah, double down on it, Hillary:

I’ve struggled with this myself. In 2016, I famously described half of Trump’s supporters as “the basket of deplorables.” I was talking about the people who are drawn to his racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia — you name it. The people for whom his bigotry is a feature, not a bug. It was an unfortunate choice of words and bad politics, but it also got at an important truth. Just look at everything that has happened in the years since, from Charlottesville to Jan. 6. The masks have come off, and if anything, “deplorable” is too kind a word for the hate and violent extremism we’ve seen from some Trump supporters.

In 2022, an editor at a major American newspaper reached out to ask if I would write an op-ed reflecting on my “basket of deplorables” comment six years on. A gunman in Buffalo had just massacred Black shoppers at a supermarket, reportedly influenced by the racist “great replacement” theory, which had been promoted aggressively by Tucker Carlson on Fox News and embraced by many Republican leaders. The New York Times had published a meticulous investigation finding that, on more than 400 episodes of his top-rated cable news show, Carlson explicitly pushed the incendiary claim that immigrants and people of color are displacing Whites. The newspaper editor said that he and his colleagues spent a half-hour at their editorial meeting talking about this report, and “the notion that the most racist show on cable news is also the most popular stuck with a lot of us.” Several editors, he said, brought up my “deplorables” comment and “how prescient” I had been. Did I want to write an op-ed about it?

It was tempting." . . .

Biden-Harris Admin Turning Migrants into Voting US Citizens at 'Fastest Speed in Years' as Election Draws Closer

  The Gateway Pundit | by C. Douglas Golden, The Western Journal

They are importing voters. It is obvious. pic.twitter.com/R9eSY3qH9u  — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 26, 2024 

"It’s like they couldn’t even make it any more obvious for us.

In an election where razor-thin margins could decide who controls the White House, the Senate and the House, the Los Angeles Times reported that “a wave of new U.S. citizens” is “being sworn in across the country as immigration authorities approve citizenship applications at the fastest speed in a decade.”

"That might seem like a curious coincidence, as indeed the L.A. Times insisted it was: “The Biden administration says the uptick in new citizens is due to efforts to reduce a backlog of applications that began during the Trump administration and exploded amid the COVID-19 pandemic,” the paper reported Thursday from a naturalization ceremony in Riverside, California.

"It added: “Immigration officials said the timing is not driven by the election or any political agenda.”

"However, even the Times had to note that “American flags lined the stage as messages conveying the immigrants’ new power played on a large screen.”

" 'Today, I am an American. Today, I am a citizen of the country I serve. Today, I can register to vote,” the message read.

 "Just coincidental. Move along, folks. Seriously, move along or else this becomes disinformation, as the Times made clear:

“ 'Former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies have long repeated baseless claims that Democrats are admitting immigrants into the U.S. for political gain and allowing them to vote unlawfully,” the Times said in the piece.

" 'The issue even made its way into the government spending bill this month when House Speaker Mike Johnson tried unsuccessfully to insert a GOP proposal to require states to obtain proof of U.S. citizenship when people register to vote.” . . .
