Kris Kristofferson, who attained success as both a groundbreaking country music singer-songwriter and a Hollywood film and TV star, died Saturday at home in Maui, Hawaii. No cause of death was given, but he was described as passing away peacefully while surrounded by family. He was 88.
Said his family in a statement, “It is with a heavy heart that we share the news our husband/father/grandfather, Kris Kristofferson, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Sept. 28 at home. We’re all so blessed for our time with him. Thank you for loving him all these many years, and when you see a rainbow, know he’s smiling down at us all.”

Democrat strategists and their allies in the mainstream media have been sounding alarm bells for several years now over the erosion of support among black and Hispanic/Latino voters.
The slow but steady drop was brought about in part by the inroads Donald Trump has made with both communities. In particular, the Hispanic community has shifted how they've voted not just in presidential elections but in Congressional elections as well, which we saw for example in some 2020 and 2022 races in Texas, Florida, and New Mexico.
Needless to say, this has brought about a great wailing and gnashing of teeth

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out airstrikes on Sunday targeting Hezbollah’s remaining officials, following the killing of leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, whom Israel said was killed with 20 other terrorist commanders.
In a statement Sunday, the IDF said:
This past Friday, in a precise airstrike carried out by the Israeli Air Force, directed by the Intelligence Directorate, fighter jets struck and eliminated Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, and Ali Karaki, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, who was one of the remaining

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) commandos have begun carrying out small incursions into southern Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah positions, ahead of a possible ground invasion, taking advantage of disarray in the terrorist organization.
ABC News reported Saturday night:
Small-scale operations or “border movements” into Lebanon to take out Hezbollah positions right on the border have begun or are about to, according to two U.S. officials.
Israel does not yet appear to have fully decided whether to launch a ground operation but is prepared for one

Kamala Harris told the media she was going to try to troll former President Donald Trump at the Alabama-Georgia game on Saturday.
But the effort failed miserably and just showed how desperate she was.
Her campaign told the media that they were going to have a small plane fly over Tuscaloosa during the game at Bryant-Denny Stadium with a banner that said, “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.” Except it didn't come off; it was a complete failure. It was nowhere to be seen during the game.
According to the New York Times, they were told by the Harris campaign that they couldn't do it because

The IDF confirms launching airstrikes against the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen a short while ago.
According to the military, dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelers, and spy planes, participated in the strikes some 1,800 kilometers from Israel.
The strikes targeted sites used by the Houthi regime for military purposes at Hodeidah and the nearby Ras Isa port in western Yemen, the IDF says. "The IDF attacked power plants and a port, which are used to import oil. Through the targeted infrastructure and ports, the Houthi regime transfers Iranian weapons to the region, and supplies for military purposes, including oil,” the military says.

The killing of Hassan Nasrallah and the entire Hizballah high command, followed almost immediately by the killing of Nasrallah’s designated successor Hassan Khalil Yassin, could mean the end of Hizballah as a force to be reckoned with in Lebanon. Nasrallah’s death also strikes a serious blow to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s decades-long effort to gain hegemony over the entire Middle East.
Back in 2015, Iran’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, explained that once Israel is destroyed, “the West’s hegemony and threats will be discredited” and “the hegemony of Iran will be promoted.” Iran had been working for years to promote that hegemony through

Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly arranged for a banner trolling former President Trump to fly over Bryant-Denny Stadium, where he is expected to make an appearance during Saturday’s SEC showdown between No. 2 Georgia and fourth-ranked Alabama.
The Harris campaign plans to launch a new ad during the game that needles Trump on the prospect of a second presidential debate, The Associated Press reported. But according to other reports, she’s also planning a flyover in Tuscaloosa. A plane with the message "Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate" is expected to fly over the stadium during the primetime matchup, The Washington Post reported Saturday.

JERUSALEM/BEIRUT - Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has been killed, the Iran-backed group said on Saturday, confirming his death after the Israeli military said it had eliminated him in an airstrike in Beirut the day before.
His death marks a devastating blow to Hezbollah, as it reels from an intense campaign of Israeli attacks. It is also a huge blow to Iran, removing an influential ally who helped build Hezbollah into the linchpin of Tehran's constellation of allied groups in the Arab world. Hezbollah said in a statement that it would continue its battle against Israel "in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defence of Lebanon and its steadfast

When the smoke cleared, six buildings in the quarter of suburban Beirut targeted by Israeli warplanes were gone. They collapsed into themselves, subsumed beneath the underground bunker system that housed Hezbollah’s highest-ranking commanders. It will take days, perhaps weeks, to sift through the wreckage. But when the clearing operation is complete, the Israel Defense Forces believe the salvagers will have recovered the body of longtime Hezbollah commander Hassan Nasrallah. The IDF said early Saturday that Israel had “eliminated” Nasrallah and other commanders.
It would be difficult to overstate Nasrallah’s significance to the terrorist organization he led and the blow to it represented by his death.

This week, The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board provided a megaphone to what I’ve been asking for months: Is the Biden administration making excuses to regulate (or outright eliminate) pro-consumer healthcare groups just to bring us a step closer to socialized medicine?
On Sept. 20, Lina Khan and the Biden Federal Trade Commission did Big Pharma a solid by bringing a complaint against pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), groups that plenty of government agencies and private sector employers hire to challenge the drug companies into lowering their prices.
