Israel Attacks Iranian Targets in Syria
as It Prepares for War
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/12/2024 3:16:15 PM
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has launched a series of airstrikes in recent days against Iranian targets in Syria, including a daring ground raid in which troops seized equipment and documents, according to reports in Israel. Syria is home to Iranian and Russian bases, and is a conduit for arms and reinforcements to Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday: Israeli ground forces targeted an Iranian missile production facility in Syria during a strike this week attributed to Israel, according to Middle East expert Eva J. Koulouriotis, who specializes in jihadist groups and cited a security source.

Amid all the "vibes" and proclamations of joy, Kamala Harris' campaign isn't going quite as well as her handlers and the press would have you believe. A new report from CNN is shedding light on where the race stands and casting doubt on Harris' outward show of confidence.
Jen O'Malley Dillion, who is Harris' campaign chair, shared internals at a leadership retreat. They paint a picture of uncertainty, with the vice president not having "any one sure path to 270 electoral votes." At a leadership retreat for top aides in Wilmington last week, Jen O’Malley Dillon – the campaign chair hired by Joe Biden and retained by Kamala Harris
We've seen media going completely over the line when it comes to bias in the aid of Kamala Harris and the Democratic narrative.
We saw the bias of the ABC moderators during the debate. We've seen the media constantly twisting the statements of former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance. There was, for example, the AP's horrible twist on what JD Vance said about a school shooting, claiming he said it was a "fact of life," but leaving out that he said it was a bad thing that it was a fact of life. Some of the media doesn't seem to even care anymore how overboard
Eric Holder was supposed to be in charge of vetting Kamala Harris' VP running mate choices.
I don't know what they did to vet people; I know they didn't have a lot of time. But they surely messed up when it comes to Tim Walz. There seems to be a never-ending bounty of damaging stories about Walz, including stolen valor, which rightly sets people on edge.
Harris probably should have picked Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro because he was more moderate and would probably have helped the campaign in Pennsylvania. Not doing so earned them accusations of antisemitism and toadying to the radical left.

We continue to hear troubling things about the failures of security around the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
The media may want to brush the incident to the side as ABC did during the debate, but even Democrats like Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) are troubled by what they are hearing. After he was in a meeting with Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, he said that we would be shocked and appalled not only by what we will hear about Secret Service failures, but that we should also be appalled and astonished by the failure of the Department of Homeland Security to provide information
A Tale of Two Receptions

The start of this is going to sound like the intro to one of those truly awful old stand-up jokes.
You know, the ones that always start like, "So, a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar..."
Only this is a tale of two campaigns and the commemoration ceremonies of the ghastly events of September 11th, 2001.
At Ground Zero yesterday, everyone showed up - both POTATUS, Kamala, Trump, J.D. and all the assorted luminaries associated with that day and with New York itself.
There was a very nice moment between the Trumpster and Harris.
Trump even patted her hand before he let go.
Hamas’s 24 battalions have been almost completely “shattered,” and the terror organization has been reduced to a “guerrilla” force, according to Israeli government spokesman David Mencer in a media briefing on Thursday.
Mencer was commenting on the report Wednesday by Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant that Israeli soldiers had recovered a memorandum from a dead senior Hamas commander to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in which he said that the terrorist group had been reduced to 25% of its former capacity, that it was running out of rockets, and that it was losing support from the Palestinian civilian population,
The majority of likely voters say they blame Vice President Kamala Harris for record levels of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico over the last three and a half years, a New York Times/Siena College poll reveals.
The poll asked likely voters “How much blame, if any, do you think Kamala Harris as sitting vice president should receive for … problems at the border” — record illegal immigration, in other words — to which 63 percent said they place “a lot of blame” or “some blame” on Harris.
In April of 2021, President Joe Biden asked Harris to lead the administration’s effort in “stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming
I wrote earlier about the new Insider Advantage post-debate poll on Michigan that now shows former President Donald Trump up by one, 49 to 48 percent, with 800 likely voters over Sept 11-12. It actually moved three points from Harris +2 to Trump +.1 on August 8.
I wanted to take a deeper dive into the backend of the poll.
According to pollster Matt Towery, one reason was a five-point lead with independents.
“The poll also showed a slightly higher amount of support for Trump among African-Americans (around 20%), which may be an aberration, or a reflection of higher African-American numbers seen in recent national surveys
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared victory Thursday in the battle of Rafah, having destroyed Hamas’s four battalions there over the course of four months.
It was a battle that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party nominee for U.S. president, told Israel not to fight, warning of the consequences for civilians there, and even threatening to withhold U.S. weapons.
“I have studied the maps,” Harris said, declaring that it was impossible to attack Rafah without hurting civilians. Israel, believing it would lose the war without taking Rafah, entered anyway.
Which Canadian-born CNN regular is more annoying: David Frum or Daniel Dale? Frum did stop short of banging his fists or stamping his feet. But on today's CNN This Morning, the Trump-detesting pundit was more taciturn. He said thanks to the "probably stupid" rules of the Constitution, Trump could win the election with an Electoral College majority despite losing the popular vote count. Frum was responding to a statement by CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere that some in the Kamala camp believe that if the election were held today, she would lose. Frum began by claiming: "We need to be more specific about what we mean by 'lose."
Best news of the day, especially since the New York Times fails to recognize its failure. In a piece that's mainly intended as fluff, the Gray Lady falls back on nearly as many clichés as its subject while getting nowhere near the real issues she faces. The NYT headline and subhead provide a good crystallization of their shallow approach: Harris, After a Debate Success, Confronts a Battleground ‘Game of Inches’ Her campaign is riding high, but still sees the race as an exceedingly close grind. Her aides have new hopes of focusing the race squarely on Donald Trump’s fitness for office. A game of inches, eh?
Right now, Taylor Swift is the biggest popstar in the world. Nobody’s bigger. She’s also an astoundingly inept judge of character. Her capacity for misjudging others is legendary.
Fortunately, she sings about all the lousy, stupid choices she makes. In fact, she’s built a very successful career by being an inept judge of character.
Anyway, the same woman who thought it would be a swell idea to date John Mayer made a critically important, earth-shattering announcement earlier this week (I hope you’re sitting down): Taylor Swift is… Team Kamala!
And you should be, too!

When I was a kid, I had a bad temper. I suppose in today’s psychobabble, they would say I had an “anger-management issue” and perhaps they would give me a handicapped parking pass or other special privileges. But back in the day, I was just a kid with a temper.
One summer day when I was about 11, when my parents weren’t home, my brother and sister locked me out of the house for reasons I don’t remember (but they were probably good ones).
A back door to the house was sliding glass.
There will not be a second presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. On Thursday, the former president announced that he wasn't interested in a rematch and then proceeded to slam Harris. When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.” Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate. She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our Country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) is sending law enforcement and millions of dollars to Springfield, Ohio, after residents’ public grievances about the influx of 20,000 Haitian migrants to their community garnered national attention.
DeWine said Tuesday that state troopers will be sent to help address the growing reckless driving issue, largely sparked by the migrant influx. He’ll also be dedicating $2.5 million toward health care. Wait times for health care have significantly increased for residents due to the migrants.
“I want the people of Springfield and Clark County to know that as we move forward, we will continue to do everything we can to help the community deal
Muslims have been threatening boulangeries and restaurants in France, even those owned by non-Muslims, to become strictly halal. That means all pork products must be banned. Some outlets have had to ban alcohol, while others have declared that only men should shop in their stores during the week, and women only on weekends. [SNIP] After months of pressure and the latest altercation in his bakery in Vénissieux (Lyon), Alexandre Dallery announced on Friday that the boulangerie would stop selling pork products.

of two evils' 22 replies
Pope Francis on Friday slammed both major U.S. presidential candidates as "against life," because of Vice President Kamala Harris's stance on abortion, and former President Donald Trump's stance on immigration, but told Americans to choose the "lesser of two evils."
The pope, who has weighed in on politics as the head of the Catholic Church more than his recent predecessors, did not indicate which candidate was considered the "lesser of two evils." (snip) The pope previously blasted Trump for his immigration policies in the 2016 presidential election, because of his desire to build a border wall. Francis claimed that anyone who did so was "not a Christian."
ABC News anchor Linsey Davis revealed in a post-debate Los Angeles Times puff-piece profile how she, ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir and ABC producers schemed to ambush President Trump with ‘fact checks’ at Tuesday night’s presidential debate in Philadelphia with Kamala Harris after watching Trump crush and knock Joe Biden out of the race in their June debate. (Photos)
The fact checking at the debate was one-sided, with Trump being interrupted by Muir and Davis several times with ‘fact checks’ while Harris was not ‘fact checked’ once.
ABC News is denying the extraordinary allegations there was collusion between the presidential debate moderators and Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign.
'Absolutely not,' an ABC News spokesperson told the Daily Beast. 'Harris was not given any questions before the debate.'
Former President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies have stoked conspiracy theories that Harris had a leg up in the debate. Most polling showed that Americans believed Harris had the more commanding performance onstage Tuesday night in Philadelphia.
Singer John Legend waded into the boiling migrant crisis unfolding in his hometown of Springfield, Ohio, by telling the town's residents to 'embrace' the 20,000 Haitian migrants whose arrival has sparked a political firestorm.
In a recorded Instagram video from his Beverly Hills mansion, Legend - a staunch Democrat - said: 'So you might imagine there are some challenges with, you know, integrating a new population.
'New language, new culture, new dietary preferences. All kinds of reasons why they might be growing pains'.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was met with intense criticism Wednesday after he inadvertently emailed a reporter that there is “no use in responding” to veteran concerns about the Harris-Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Kirby, 61, apparently intended to send his dismissive response to White House staffers but accidentally hit “reply all” on an email chain that included the Fox News reporter making the inquiry.
“Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe,” read Kirby’s email, according to the outlet.
If you judge Kamala Harris by the one big decision she made so far in her campaign — picking Tim Walz as a running mate — she doesn't fare very well. Walz has largely been a mess, bringing with him a stolen valor scandal and all sorts of prevarications about his life.[Snip] But he put his foot in it big time when he started to tell a story that he said he loved about Kamala Harris.(Video) "As a young prostituter, Kamala Harris talked about going into that courtroom for the first time,"[Snip]… he seemed to swallow hard after that and try to move on, but there was no taking it back.
Former President Donald Trump proposed Thursday during a campaign rally in Tucson, Arizona, to eliminate taxes on overtime pay should he win the election this November.
Trump called for eliminating taxes on overtime wages for workers who work more than 40 hours a week. The former president said removing such taxes would bolster worker incentives and simplify recruitment for businesses.
