Hezbollah Flops; Netanyahu Warns

Looks like Hezbollah has a security leak. Apparently just minutes before the Iranian proxy terror army in Lebanon would have launched a massive retaliatory attack on Israel, the IDF destroyed thousands of its launchers and missiles in a pre-emptive strike. Hezbollah attacked anyway, but ended up doing very little damage. And later, Hezbollah suggested that they had finished their revenge for the strike on Fuad Shukr three weeks ago: Israeli warplanes bombarded dozens of targets in southern Lebanon on Sunday to stop what Israel said were preparations for a major attack by Hezbollah, which later said

A federal judge in the Eastern District of Texas on Monday temporarily blocked a Biden administration program that allowed undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens to apply for green cards without leaving the U.S.
The program, which the White House named Keeping Families Together, would provide a form of legal relief known as “parole in place” to undocumented spouses of American citizens who could prove they have lived in the U.S. continuously for at least 10 years and met a host of other requirements. Typically, undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens need to leave the country
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a letter on Monday that the Biden-Harris administration repeatedly pressured his company — which includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and more — to censor content that is protected free speech.
Zuckerberg made the admission in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) this week in which he said that his goal moving forward was to “be neutral and not play a role one way or another” for either any political party or ideology. He said he doesn’t even want the appearance of playing a role and will not be making political contributions.
Giggly Kamala Harris has always had a problem with people thinking she was stupid, a lightweight, a ditz, a non-thinker.
After all, she was the daughter of a Stanford professor, but somehow she couldn't get into that school, even with affirmative action.
And she got her start in politics at Willie Brown's knee, so to speak. It wasn't her brains she was selling when she 'dated' Willie.
She's since done her best to dodge reporters and avoid interviews, doing only an informercial or two with her running mate, Tim Walz, and not releasing any policy programs.
But her minions aren't doing nothing, particularly on matters of getting her campaign message out to voters.
Former U.S. representative Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party to become an independent in 2022, has endorsed former president Donald Trump days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign and threw his support behind the Republican presidential nominee.
Gabbard announced her endorsement on Monday after Trump spoke at a National Guard Association conference in Detroit, where he criticized President Joe Biden’s handling of the military withdrawal from Afghanistan three years ago this week.
“I am committed to doing all that I can to send President Trump back to the White House, where he can once again serve us as our commander-in-chief,”

In a move that will surprise no one, Kamala Harris is now pushing for major rule changes at the ABC News debate. 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? Whether or not the candidates’ microphones will be muted when it isn’t their turn to speak.
Back when President JOE BIDEN was still running for reelection, his campaign came to an agreement
Fresh off a week of daily counterprogramming events and an effort to steal the spotlight from his new opponent, Donald Trump and his campaign are seeking to harness that pace in the lead-up to November — with plans to aggressively ramp up the former president’s schedule, hone his debate skills and cultivate a new ground-game strategy tied to the early voting states, sources familiar with the strategy shift told CNN.
The new approach is itself an acknowledgment that Trump’s campaign has struggled to adapt to the fast-changing political landscape after President Joe Biden ended his campaign less than four months before Election Day.

We've been seeing the media try to hype up Kamala Harris since she was handed the nomination on a silver platter, putting out a drumbeat that she was in the lead in the race. With some of those polls, you had to look to the cross tabs and see that they had questionable methodology including oversampling Democrats or having too small a sample to be reliable. So, it's hard to make a judgment about the polls when you're getting questionable data.
Now in the middle of all that, there was an admission by officials with a top, pro-Harris super PAC that their polling for Kamala Harris ‘is much less rosy’

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from considering disparate environmental harms in Louisiana in its enforcement of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, making permanent a temporary hold he issued in January.
In the ruling, Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana, a former President Trump appointee, sided with the state of Louisiana in prohibiting the EPA’s Office of External Civil Rights Compliance and the Justice Department from enforcing the provision “against any entity in the State of Louisiana, or requiring compliance with those requirements as a condition of past, existing, or future
It's something of an understatement to say that the Middle East is a real mess these days. Granted, this has always been a contentious part of the world, and after having spent some time in the area while on the General Schwarzkopf Traveling Road Show's "Highway of Death" tour, I can see why these people are fighting all the time; it's because they have to live there. Big parts of the Middle East are surely no less barren than the surface of the moon.
But the Middle East also has a wealth of one major strategic resource - oil. So when things in the Middle East start going sideways,

The IDF says it has detected preparations by Hezbollah to launch rockets and missiles and is preemptively striking in Lebanon “to remove the threat.”
Fighter jets are striking Hezbollah targets that “posed an imminent threat to the citizens of the State of Israel,” the army says, adding that “life-saving instructions” will be sent out in some parts of the country.
Alarms are meanwhile sounding in several northern communities.
In a video statement, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says: “A short while ago, the IDF identified the Hezbollah terrorist organization preparing to fire missiles and rockets toward Israeli territory.”
Democrats will tell you they are excited about Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.
The delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, this week kept talking about how much fun they were having and how much “joy” they were feeling. Democrats who watched the speeches on television gushed about how amazing they were.
Some of those feelings were real. But remember: that’s how Democrats feel, not how other Americans feel.
The convention, objectively, was not so great.

Hundreds of former aides who served under Republican lawmakers endorsed Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that “another four years” of a Trump administration would “hurt real, everyday” Americans.
In a letter that USA Today obtained, a group of more than 200 former aides for former President George W. Bush, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), and former Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) write that they are reuniting and joining with former staffers for former President George H.W. Bush to endorse Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D).

Do you think the DNC went well? I'm not sure the Democrats did. Reading between the lines of what was said and done between all that "joy," I think the Democrats are panicking, and for good reason. They aren't selling themselves well. If you think this is good, I've got sour news for you. This is the kind of thing that spurs Democrats into action. They live by the mantra "by any means necessary," and if the Democrats are the cornered animal they're hinting they are, then they're about to resort to some really brutal tactics to hold onto power.
The signs are all there. Bizarre time change-ups, internal discord,
The Washington Post published an op-ed on Friday calling Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff a “progressive sex symbol.”
"Move over, Ryan Gosling. The modern female fantasy is embodied by the man who might soon become our first First Gentleman," Catherine Rampell wrote in the piece.Rampell added that Emhoff is a “hunk” because he is “smitten with his wife” and her career ambitions and is "secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
Rampell brushed off Emhoff’s “previous marital drama,” which includes Emhoff conceding that he had an affair during his first marriage.
Democratic strategist James Carville said Monday on CNN’s “OutFront” that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be in a mental hospital if he were a citizen of a “more humane country.”
Democratic strategist Paul Begala said, “Look, Bobby Kennedy had a parasitic brain-eating worm in his head and the worm died of starvation, okay. So I just think that we ought to give him like a lot of leeway because I think he’s he’s a bit eccentric.” Host Erin Burnett said, “A Trump-Kennedy ticket, do you feel have any difference of opinion here from Paul on what he said about it?
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.

Just when you thought California under the impeccably coiffed Gavin Newsom and the lunatic asylum that is the Democrats in the California state legislature couldn't get any more ridiculous, someone sets the bar even lower. Now we see that the legislature's Democratic supermajority is likely to pass a bill providing a home-buying subsidy for first-time real estate buyers of up to $150,000.
That sounds like a stupid enough idea all on its own, doesn't it? Not only is this wildly inflationary, not only will it make homes even less affordable for your average Californian,
Look at the contrast between how Secret Service treats people near Jill Biden versus how they treated a gunman wandering around a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Joe and Jill Biden took a taxpayer-funded weeklong vacation in Santa Ynez, California last week.
Secret Service agents violently pushed peasants out of the way so Jill Biden could go on a shopping spree on Friday afternoon.
Jill Biden made a ‘surprise visit’ in Los Olivos and bystanders with cameras were roughly cleared out.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has finally broken his silence about the controversial relationship between his company and the Biden-Harris regime.
In a letter addressed to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Zuckerberg openly admitted that Meta, the parent company of Facebook, was subjected to relentless pressure by the Biden administration to censor content related to COVID-19, even when the content was satirical or humorous, and the infamous Hunter Biden laptop.
The Meta CEO allegedly expressed deep ‘regret’ for not being more vocal in resisting the government’s demands,
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.
