Hezbollah confirms Nasrallah is killed
after Israeli strike
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/28/2024 8:38:07 AM
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

Few living Americans have stood longer against government persecution for their freedoms than Colorado baker Jack Phillips. He has been repeatedly targeted under Colorado anti-discrimination law for adhering to his Christian faith. At long last, his third legal saga is over after the Colorado supreme court on Tuesday rejected the latest lawsuit against him on procedural grounds. After twelve years, Phillips is free of the courts. We can only hope he stays free — and that his fellow citizens will, too.
The end of the current round of persecution of Phillips is cause for celebration but not for unbridled joy. This is America.
Toyota Motor Corp. is reportedly shifting away from DEI initiatives and pro-LGBTQ events following recent online backlash, according to a new report.
Bloomberg reported that the company sent a memo to its US employees last week, stating it will “narrow community activities to align with STEM education and workforce readiness” and will no longer participate in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. A week before, anti-woke activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck highlighted several progressive initiatives within Toyota, including financial support for groups opposing laws that ban gender transition treatments for minors, establishing Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) based on race and gender orientation
Minnesota governor Tim Walz on Tuesday reiterated his support for abolishing the Electoral College and switching to a national popular vote as the sole means of electing presidents and their running mates.
While campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris on the West Coast, Walz suggested at two different fundraisers that he would prefer to focus on winning votes across the country rather than concentrate on key battleground states that could sway the upcoming presidential election as they have done in the past. “I think all of us know the Electoral College needs to go. We need, we need national popular vote, but that’s not the world we live in,”
Hurricane Helene has devastated parts of Georgia, east Tennessee and particularly western North Carolina.
The death and destruction it dealt to unprepared mountain communities has been catastrophic.
More than a week later, roads are still closed, thousands lack electricity, and hundreds of people are missing amid an unimpressive response from federal and state governments.
So leave it to Politico to ask the big question: Is this good for the Democrats? “The parts of western North Carolina and eastern Georgia that were flooded by the monster storm are largely Republican,” the outlet noted.
“In 2020, [Donald Trump] won 61% percent of the vote in the North Carolina counties that were declared

I have long known that fluoridating water was a terrible idea, but I have been reluctant to write or even discuss this fact with people because the expert consensus was that anybody who opposed it was a kook.
Remember this scene from Dr. Strangelove? It perfectly encapsulates the attitude of "experts" and the people who believe them about those who questioned fluoridation: they are insane. The American Public Health Association says:
Community water fluoridation is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century. Water fluoridation has played a major
Hezbollah said Tuesday it is now ready to engage in cease-fire talks with Israel, after suffering serious blows to its leadership and ranks in recent months.
The terror group in Lebanon made the announcement after firing more than 100 rockets at the Jewish state hours earlier.
Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general, Naim Qassem, publicly endorsed a truce with Israel, the first such time the terror group has proposed a cease-fire not conditioned on the war in Gaza. “We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” Qassem said, according to a CNN translation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Tuesday that Hezbollah’s intended replacement of its former leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed late last month, has also been "taken out."
"Today, Hezbollah is weaker than it has been for many, many years," Netanyahu said in a message tailored directly to the "people of Lebanon."
"We’ve degraded Hezbollah’s capabilities, we took out thousands of terrorists, including [former Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah himself, and Nasrallah’s replacement, and the replacement of his replacement."

Political pundits mercilessly mocked Vice President Kamala Harris’s performance during a 60 Minutes interview Monday after she delivered false, incoherent, and rambling statements.
The interview represented one of the first times she sat down for a serious, unscripted interview since joining the race, with a host that asked honest questions. Harris has not sat for many local interviews in battleground states, and she has mostly avoided the national press and conducted zero press conferences.
During the 60-minute interview, Harris was asked how she would pay for increased spending. She responded by arguing billionaires will pay for it.
Justice Samuel Alito wrecked the government’s defense of the ATF “ghost gun” rule during oral arguments Tuesday by asking if eggs and peppers are an omelet.
Breitbart News reported that the case is Garland v. VanDerStok, and it is focused on ATF Final Rule 2021-05F. A central part of this rule was redefining what the word “firearm” means so as to designate “partially completed pistol frames” and other gun parts as “firearms.”
Justice Alito asked about “components” and the way they are defined in relation to a “weapon.”
He asked, “Here is a blank pad and a pen. Is this a grocery list?” The government answered no, citing

Florida will have at least 37,000 linemen at the ready — and perhaps a few thousands more — as Hurricane Milton barrels toward the west coast, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday morning.
He made the promise while delivering an update at the State Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee.
“Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall on the west coast of Florida sometime between Wednesday evening and early Thursday morning,” DeSantis said, noting that the storm has moved a bit slower than initial projections showed. Regardless, the governor — who is widely heralded for his efficient response to hurricanes — warned Floridians to not get “wedded to the cone,”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has President Joe Biden’s personal phone number, the president told reporters Tuesday as Hurricane Milton approaches Florida’s west coast.
Biden’s statement undercut Vice President Kamala Harris’s apparent attempt to appear presidential to voters.
On Tuesday, an unnamed aide to DeSantis told the establishment media that the governor refused to take a call from Harris about the storm, allegedly because the governor believed the vice president was only calling for political reasons. However, DeSantis denied Harris had called him at all.
Kamala Harris can’t think of a single thing she would have done differently from President Joe Biden during her time serving as his vice president over the past four years.
Harris appeared on The View Monday morning and host Sunny Hostin lightly asked her if there was something she would have handled differently from Biden, an important question for Harris down the stretch of the presidential campaign.
“There is not a thing that comes to mind,” Harris said. “I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.”

New Zealand’s navy has suffered its first peacetime ship loss since World War II when the $100 million multi-role support vessel HMNZS Manawanui ran aground off the southern coast of Upolu Island, Samoa, caught fire and eventually sank—triggering an environmental disaster in the process.
With all 75 passengers and crew evacuated, the vessel’s loss brings fresh scrutiny to the leadership under its openly lesbian commanding officer, Commander Yvonne Gray.
The Manawanui, originally built in Norway and repurposed for New Zealand’s Royal Navy with a substantial $103 million investment, was conducting a seabed survey mission when it hit a reef, according to maritime news outlet gCaptain.

Supporters of former President Donald Trump were ecstatic to hear that Vice President Kamala Harris could leave the country if he wins next month's presidential election.
Harris didn't specifically say she would jump ship, but rather didn't answer the question directly when it was posed Tuesday by radio host Howard Stern.
Stern, a vocal Democrat and Harris supporter, had asked the Democratic nominee: 'If he wins, God forbid, would you feel safe in this country? Would you stay in this country?'
Millions of Christians in the United States indicated in a study released on Monday that they are not likely to vote in the upcoming election this November, signaling a potential problem for the Republican Party.
Just over half of interviewees (51%) in a Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University study, who identified as "people of faith," responded that they are likely to vote in the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris said Monday on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that she owns a Glock semi-automatic pistol.
Correspondent Bill Whitaker said, “A hard left turn here, but you recently surprised people when you said that you are a gun owner and that if someone came into your house they would get shot.” Harris said, “That is not the first time I’ve talked about it.”Whitaker said, “What kind of gun do you own and when and why did you get it?”
Harris said, “I have a Glock, and I’ve had it for quite some time. And I mean, look, Bill, my background is in law enforcemen
SWANNANOA, North Carolina — Hundreds of special operations personnel in North Carolina have formed their own homegrown rescue and supply operation in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene after they grew tired of waiting for the federal government to get its act together.
The Post found an all-volunteer operation being run out of a Harley-Davidson dealership with ruthless efficiency and military precision.

Vice President Kamala Harris cracked open a can of Miller High Life on Tuesday, and took one sip, during an appearance on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
“When you first became the nominee and named Tim Walz as your vice president nominee people were calling it the vibe election. The vibes were all good,” late-night host Stephen Colbert told Harris, referring to the enthusiasm for the new Democratic nominee after President Biden dropped out of the race.
“But elections, I think, are won on vibes,” Colbert continued, in a clip released his show. “Because one of the old saws is I –
President Biden uses a vulgar nickname for former President Donald Trump when the Democrat speaks about his predecessor in private, according to a forthcoming book.
“That f—king a—hole” is how Biden, 81, refers to Trump, 78, behind closed doors, CNN reported Tuesday in a preview of Bob Woodward’s tome “War,” out next week.
In public, Biden usually refers to Trump in roundabout ways, such as “my predecessor” or “the former guy” — when the incumbent deigns to mention the 45th president at all.
The president’s hot temper and penchant for profanity has been reported before, with Politico revealing in October 2021 that Biden regularly f-bombed West Wing aides in meetings,
Of all the results from the latest I&I/TIPP poll, the most unsettling has to be that voters think Kamala Harris is at least as much of a fiscal and economic conservative as Donald Trump.
Our latest poll, taken of 997 likely voters, finds that more voters say they trust Harris (who’s already announced $4 trillion in tax hikes) than Trump to cut taxes by a 48%-45% margin. Among the crucial independent voters, the margin is even greater – 49% to 36%.
That’s not all.
More trust Harris to bring about energy independence, 48%-47%. Trump is essentially tied with Harris on growing
Biden Takes a Blowtorch to Obama in New Book
19 replies
Bob Woodward has a new book, War, about the inner dynamics of the Biden White House, some of which you probably guessed to be true in the long four years we’ve suffered under this man. It paints a picture that’s become familiar: an angry old man, not in control, and holding seething resentment toward pretty much everyone, including Barack Obama. It captures the baffling arrogance of Mr. Biden, who has never done anything remotely significant to earn such a demeanor.
On Tuesday, the Justice Department unsealed an indictment against an Afghan national living in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for "conspiring to conduct an Election Day terrorist attack in the United States on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), a designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO)."According to a Justice Department press release, "Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, conspired and attempted to provide material support to ISIS and obtained firearms and ammunition to conduct a violent attack on U.S. soil in the name of ISIS."
Both Tawhedi and his juvenile co-conspirator were in the U.S. on Special Immigrant Visas. Tawhedi is married to the juvenile's sister.
