Americans are well aware of the security disaster of the Biden-Harris open southern border — including 400 illegal crossers who were flagged on the FBI terrorism watch list.
But an alarming new terrorism prosecution in New York now demands American attention and diplomatic pressure be turned on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unprecedented mass immigration policies.
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a 20-year-old Pakistani citizen legally allowed a Canadian student visa in June 2023, stands accused in US federal court of plotting a mass shooting of Jews in New York City, to celebrate the October 7 anniversary of the Hamas massacre in Israel.

"Israel just made all the Middle East happy tonight." — Israeli-Lebanese Christian journalist Jonathan Elkhoury, X, September 27, 2024.
"As a Lebanese, this is one of the happiest days in Lebanon's history.... As a human being who holds peace before my eyes, this is the most important day for our region. Nasrallah and Hezbollah have terrorized the Lebanese people since the 1980s.... Every Lebanese and every decent human being should feel joy at the downfall of one of the greatest evils of our time. Now, we have a real chance to look forward...

Last week, Iran’s leaders found themselves in a familiar position. The Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was the latest in a series of assassinations of senior figures with ties to the regime.
In a short statement eulogising Nasrallah, Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, declared that Israel had “not become victorious” by carrying out the strike on Nasrallah, which he described as an “atrocity”. Khamenei insisted that Israel would face “more crushing” blows in retribution. But those blows are to come from the groups of the “resistance front” and not from Iran itself.

Iran’s reformist-led government has said it has no plans to send troops to reinforce Hezbollah in Lebanon, but it is coming under domestic pressure from hardliners seeking to exploit what they regard as a failure to stand up to Israel – and also hoping to block any discussion with the west over future oversight of Iran’s nuclear programme.
Calls for a tougher Iranian response redoubled when it emerged that Brig Gen Abbas Nilforushan, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) deputy commander for Lebanon and Syria, had been killed in Beirut alongside the Hezbollah chief, Hassan Nasrallah.

John Kerry, maybe the most pompous politician of our lifetimes, admits that the First Amendment is an obstacle to the Democrats’ hard-left agenda. It’s a deeply disturbing statement perfectly in line with the party’s irrepressible authoritarian urges.
At last week’s Sustainable Development Impact Meetings of the World Economic Forum, Kerry, a long-time U.S. senator from Massachusetts, secretary of state for four years of the eight-year Obama nightmare, Joe Biden’s climate czar and a failed presidential candidate, acknowledged that his party wants to censor speech that it doesn’t approve of.

Pennsylvania -- Jennifer Krantz was in the checkout line at Sprankle's grocery store in this Armstrong County city with her three boys, Brayden, Eddie and Frederick, along with her husband, Bryant, when former President Donald Trump handed the clerk waiting on them a $100 bill. "Here, it is going to go down a little bit," Trump told the clerk, to everyone's astonishment.
"(Krantz's bill) is going to go down $100," Trump said.
"Thank you so much," Krantz said, a little stunned by the help. Afterward, she said her cousin owns the store and that she was just hoping to do two things that day:

I realized something very important about the human condition when I was in high school.
I realized that people tend to hate those who fight evil far more than they hate those engaged in doing evil.
What made me come to this conclusion was the way in which many people reacted to communism and to anti-communism.
To my amazement, a great many people -- specifically, all leftists and many, though not all, liberals -- hated anti-communists far more than they hated communism.
Because of my early preoccupation with good and evil, already in high school, I hated communism. How could one not, I wondered.

A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his handling of nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic. New York families with relatives who died from COVID-19 in nursing homes filed the lawsuit in early 2022, accusing Cuomo’s administration of undercounting fatalities "During the last four years, the debate over COVID in nursing homes has been weaponized, distorted and contorted beyond recognition by those using this situation for their own politics," Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said in a statement to Fox News. "However, anytime this gets taken out of the political arena, the truth wins.

Iran, having just had two of its major proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, seriously degraded, is apparently setting its sights on a new, "consolation prize" proxy to use as an additional base of operations: Sudan.
Iran's strategy of supporting and infiltrating other countries and terrorist groups -- as it has done in Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, Venezuela and Yemen -- appears as yet another extension of its strategy of moving into territories with weak or unstable governments to expand its influence throughout the Middle East, to create new fronts for its campaign to destroy Israel and bring down the world order led by the West.

This Taylor Swift guitar really went under the hammer at auction.
A mystery buyer is going viral for reportedly coughing up $4,000 to buy a signed Taylor Swift guitar at a Texas charity auction — just to immediately smash it up with a hammer.
The white-haired man obliterated the “Shake It Off” singer’s old instrument at the Ellis County WildGame Dinner in Waxahachie, just outside of Dallas, on Saturday night, according to footage posted on social media. The clip, which quickly started going viral, captured the unidentified man grinning as he slowly made his way up to the stage where he was given the hammer and then the guitar.

Top Democrats are pushing for state Attorney General Tish James to be ready for a special election run for mayor — in case embattled Mayor Eric Adams leaves before the end of his term.
Party leaders are rallying behind James over fears a special election could send the Big Apple into further turmoil, as liberal lawmakers line up for a potential race and ex-gov Andrew Cuomo eyes a political comeback.
“People are galvanizing around Tish. There are a lot of people interested in Tish running for mayor,” state Democratic Party Leader Jay Jacobs told The Post Monday about a “what if” scenario.

The Economic Times reported, “Alan Lichtman, although a renowned historian, is known for some of his most accurate Presidential polls across decades now, and this time too, he has presented his ideas on who is going to emerge victorious in the US Presidential Elections 2024. This time things are going to be extensively tough for surveys and polls to predict, looking at the heightened political intensity and competition, with no clear picture on the poll winner for November
