Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets and drones against Israel on Sunday in retaliation for the assassination of a senior commander in Beirut last month. The Lebanon based militant group launched over 320 Katyusha rockets towards Israel and hit 11 military targets, according to the group. Israeli intelligence had been aware of the impending attack, causing Israeli jets to start an airstrike campaign across southern Lebanon as an act of self-defense before Hezbollah could strike first.

As it has been since the 6th century and always will be. When you follow a religion based on hatred of everybody else in the world, what could go wrong?

Re #1: The Muslims hate the Jews just like progressive liberals hate Trump. If you ask either of them why, they'll both stare at you with a puzzled look and then mutter aspersions: "they're PIGS, they're evil oppressors, they're FASCISTS, they're DICTATORS", etc. Both Muslims & progressives want dominion over everything & everybody, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks or wants. Their hatred is part of their belief system, deeply ingrained in their psyche, planted & nurtured from birth onwards. This war between the Muslims & Jews will never end until either the Muslims wipe out Israel or Islam is reformed into something more resembling the 'religion of peace' its touted to be and not totalitarian political ideology.

If Lebanon allows Hezbollah to operate out of their country they have to be prepared to receive the repercussions of the terror they allow to persist in their country. Just as we in our country receive the demonstrations of those who continue to be on the side of Palestinian terrorists. If we allow it we deserve it.

Until the players stop playing footsie, this nonsense will continue. Maybe if Israel fired a rocket into a Russian city for every Russian-supplied rocket that Hezbollah fired into Israel, Russia would stop selling rockets to Hezbollah? And ditto for any rockets supplied to Hamas by Iran. Could such a response escalate into a larger war? Sure it could, but that's exactly what has happened with the past approach, so why not?

What’s concerning is that we have a bunch of clueless Biden staffers running the country while Biden naps in Delaware. They’ve managed to supply Iran with enough money to build enough nuclear weapons to share with other terrorists. Israel is their enemy and so are we. I have no doubt that something worse can happen.

This is not a morally equivalent situation. Israel wants to live in peace and be left alone, something they have not been allowed since 1948. The Palestinians, et al, want Israel and all its people exterminated. The world has continually handicapped Israel with cease-fires, negotiations and propaganda. If Israel were allowed to do what they must to be left alone, the world would be much better off. You cannot survive a world that gives equal footing to babrbarians. As a species, we used to understand this. Unfortunately, we have become so enlightened that we have brought ourselves to the brink of annihilation.

Today marks the third anniversary of the devastating Kabul Airport bombing that claimed the lives of 13 brave U.S. servicemen and women. President Trump honored the 13 U.S. service members who tragically lost their lives three years ago during this chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan after Joe Biden surrendered to the Taliban. Conspicuously absent from the ceremony were Joe Biden and Kamala Harris—Biden is reportedly on vacation, while Harris is busy campaigning, disconnected from the painful memories still fresh in the hearts of many Americans.

A federal judge temporarily blocked another illegal effort by the Biden regime to give amnesty to illegal aliens who are married to U.S. citizens. The Biden regime recently announced a program called “Keeping Families Together” that would have given amnesty to individuals who have entered the country illegally and consequently married an American citizen. U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker issued an administrative stay just days after 16 Republican states, filed a challenge against the program, which would open up a pathway to citizen for up to a million illegal immigrants.
Goodbye, JFK Democrats 2 replies

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s exit from the Democratic Party (or was he booted out?) is only the latest sign that there are no more JFK Democrats left in positions of power in the Democratic Party. President John F. Kennedy was a staunch anti-communist who fought against union and government corruption. He was a pro-life Catholic. He was laser-focused on faster growth ("we can do bettah") and saw sweeping tax rate reductions as a step toward achieving 4% to 5% growth. Democrats are now for higher taxes: They ignore and excuse union and government corruption

Less than two months ago, Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt after 20-year-old Thomas Crooks opened fire at an open-air rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. While Secret Service agents were applauded for bravely swarming the stage to protect Trump, the incident represented one of the worst security failures in American history. Following the shooting on July 13 - which claimed the life of firefighter Corey Comperatore - Congress set up a bipartisan taskforce to investigate. As questions mounted, Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle was forced to resign.

President Donald Trump paid his respects to the 13 U.S. troops who were killed three years ago during President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan — while the morning shows on the major networks ignored the anniversary. Monday, August 26, 2024, marked three years since the day a suicide bomber affiliated with the local branch of the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS) killed 13 American service members and wounded dozens more at Kabul’s airport — while also murdering roughly 170 local civilians who were trying to flee the country. Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery, laying a wreath alongside Marine Corporal Kelsee Lainhart, who was partially paralyzed by the blast.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) editorial board let loose on Vice President Kamala Harris for her role in President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal in an op-ed on Monday. Monday marked the third anniversary of the terrorist bombing in Afghanistan that killed 13 Americans as the United States exited from the country during Biden’s botched rollout. While Kamala Harris honored their sacrifice in a statement, she said she holds no regrets over what happened during what led up to the bombing. “President Biden made the courageous and right decision to end America’s longest war,” she said.The WSJ editorial board noted that Biden’s withdrawal was tantamount to an indefensible failure:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. officially lost his U.S. Secret Service (USSS) protection on Monday, just days after his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Kennedy's press secretary confirmed the change in a statement to CBS News. Kennedy had gone through a long process to receive USSS protection in the first place, with his initial requests being denied earlier in the cycle. It was not until the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump in July that President Biden ordered that Kennedy receive Secret Service protection as well.

That comes after her campaign spent weeks insisting that any deviation from the Biden-negotiated event would represent cowardice on the part of Donald Trump. According to Politico, Harris wants to do away with the muted mics seen in the CNN debate so that the candidates can have "uncensored" exchanges. The holdup?

From curbside abortions to gender-neutral prayer rooms, so much insane stuff unfolded at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. One of these abhorrent moments apparently snuck under the radar — until now. It turns out that a top Kamala Harris surrogate bashed the Bill of Rights as "that little piece of paper" and urged Democrats to "reimagine democracy" on Day 1 of the DNC. Kelley Robinson, president of the far-left Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and a prominent supporter of Kamala Harris, made the appalling comments during a daytime session addressing "how defeating Donald Trump and the Project 2025 agenda rests on the engagement of the LGBTQ+ community."

People are funny about racoons. These flea-bitten, sometimes rabid, garbage-eating vermin with no visible means of support, elicit, in some people, feelings of love. A woman in Canada was feeding dozens every day. When she died – of cancer, not rabies – her dying request to her husband was that he continue to feed the racoons. He has done so. And they’ve been fruitful, or at least they’ve multiplied. A woman in Indiana feeds 25 or more a day. She buys 50-pound bags of dog food for them. A woman in Colorado found what she called “a baby racoon.” She took it home and adopted it.
