The IDF and the Lebanese army started making moves around 9:00 pm. regarding the imminent Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
The IDF at 8:39 p.m. took additional last-minute concrete measures leading toward an invasion, declaring closed military zones at Metulla, Misgav Am, and Kfar Giladi.//snip//Senior IDF sources have been extremely surprised at how ineffective Hezbollah has been at responding to the military's onslaught against it over the last two weeks and in particular since Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated this past Friday.
I debated whether to write about this but decided it was worth the post.
Both Ed and I have written about the Biblical disaster unfolding in North Carolina, Ed on the massive scale, and I on the Biden/Harris indifference to the suffering of people in Red areas of the country.
But, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, and Andy Swan has pointed out that the tweet that Kamala Harris put out to express her overwhelming support for the people of Appalachia shows the emptiness of their concern. Kamala Harris is so concerned that she made a phantom phone call to the FEMA director.

JERUSALEM — The Israeli military on Tuesday said it had begun a “limited, localized” operation against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, opening a new front in its war against the Lebanese militant group.
In a brief announcement, it said it was striking Hezbollah targets in areas close to the Israeli border, and that air force and artillery units were carrying out attacks to support the ground forces. It gave no details on how long the operation would last, but said the army had been training and preparing for months.
“A few hours ago, the IDF began limited, localized and targeted ground raids,” it said. “These targets are located
Following Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made a shocking allegation about espionage within Iran.
He claims that a unit established to counter Israel had its leadership infiltrated by an agent of Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency.
He reiterated, “We established a unit to counter Israel, and the person at the head turned out to be a Mossad agent.”
Mossad agents steal nuclear documents
In an interview with CNN Turk following the rejection of his candidacy for Iran’s June 2024 presidential elections, Ahmadinejad revealed that Iran established a special unit to combat Mossad activities within the country.
An Israeli ground offensive into Lebanon appeared imminent Monday night as defense chiefs spoke of a new stage in the war against Hezbollah, and world leaders engaged in last-minute and seemingly futile appeals for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the Iranian-backed terror group.
Lebanese troops pulled back from the border with Israel late on Monday, as the IDF imposed a closed military zone in the area of the northern border communities of Metula, Misgav Am and Kfar Giladi. Israel’s high-level security cabinet also met to discuss developments.
US officials said the positioning of Israeli troops suggested a ground incursion could be near.
Toward midnight, various conflicting reports emerged
The New York Times editorial board is backing Vice President Harris for president this fall over former President Trump.
In an editorial published Monday, the Times said it is “hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump.” “He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest,” the newspaper wrote of Trump. “He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks.”
The Biden administration is fast-tracking approval for the transfer of more than 200 radio-station licenses from bankrupt broadcaster Audacy Inc. to a nonprofit controlled by George Soros’s progressive philanthropy empire, raising the ire of Republicans who say the Federal Communications Commission is breaking with established procedure to push the deal through.
The FCC voted 3-2 earlier this month to allow a restructured Audacy Inc., now controlled by the Soros-funded nonprofit Fund for Policy Reform, to maintain over 200 broadcast licenses as it emerges from bankruptcy proceedings.

Verizon is experiencing a huge outage affecting its mobile services across the country.
“During the incident we received reports from Benton, Brookland, Washington, Dover, Brandon, Cape Coral, Clermont, Naples, Ocala, Oviedo, Palm Bay, Rockledge, St. Petersburg, Atlanta, Dalton, Decatur, Bloomington, Carmel, Cloverdale, Fishers and 223 other cities,” according to a website tracking the outage.
There are also more than 100,000 user reports of problems on Downdetector. Downdetector’s outage map shows hotspots in many places, including New York and Atlanta. Based on that map, it appears as though the outages are more prevalent on the East Coast.
A Hamas commander in Lebanon who was killed in an Israeli airstrike overnight was an accredited member of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, the embattled agency confirmed after his death.
Hamas’s Fateh Sherif and his family were killed in an airstrike at a Palestinian refugee camp in the southern city of Tyre, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Monday. “Sherif was responsible for coordinating Hamas’ terror activities in Lebanon with Hezbollah operatives, as well as Hamas’ efforts in Lebanon to recruit operatives and acquire weapons.”
The federal government has released data showing more than 155,000 migrants have been convicted — or face charges — for criminal traffic offenses as Americans’ auto insurance bills rise rapidly.
The huge imported population of dangerous, drunk, drugged, or reckless drivers was revealed in a report by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency within the Department of Homeland Security.
For example, the data shows that 77,074 undetained migrants have been convicted of criminal traffic offenses, and an additional 46,269 migrants face criminal traffic charges.
As RedState reported, though the presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump continues to dominate media headlines, Joe Biden was still president at last check, as evidenced by his bumbling, fumbling, and yelling during an executive order signing ceremony on gun control last Thursday.
And on Saturday Biden, who was on yet another vacation in Rehoboth Beach, issued a written statement on the death of Hezbollah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah, which was the result of a targeted Israeli airstrike, coming roughly 10 days after the pager and hand-held radio detonations against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and Syria.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized former President Donald Trump and stressed her purported innocence in an interview with Margaret Hoover of PBS’ “Firing Line” on Friday.
Clinton echoed sentiments that Trump poses a threat to democracy and mocked him for directing his administration to investigate her only to not file any criminal charges. While the Trump administration never formally accused Clinton of breaking the law, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey in July 2016 said that Clinton had stored 110 emails containing classified information on a private email server, with eight email chains containing top secret information.

WASHINGTON − Former President Donald Trump continued to ramp up attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, again falsely describing her and President Joe Biden as "mentally disabled."
Biden "became mentally impaired, sad. But lyin' Kamala Harris? Honestly, I believe she was born that way," Trump said in a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania. "There's something wrong with Kamala."
Trump used similar rhetoric Saturday during a speech in Wisconsin, and he's frequently called Harris "stupid," "weak" and "dumb as a rock" on the campaign trail. Trump has also repeatedly criticized Harris' racial identity, falsely saying she "turned Black."
Democrats, and some Republicans
The Department of Justice on Friday sued Alabama and its top election official for violating the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 because the state made an effort to clean its voter rolls too close to Election Day.
In mid-August, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen had identified 3,251 individuals registered to vote in the state who were given noncitizen identification numbers by the Department of Homeland Security and had instructed the boards of registrars in the state's 67 counties to inactivate and remove them from the voter rolls, a move that has reportedly "ensnared newly naturalized Americans."

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 left’s obsession with Trump never ends.
Democrats have taken their crude and tasteless antics to a new low with the unveiling of a monstrous 43-foot nude statue resembling former President Donald Trump in yet another shameless display of vile disrespect.
Dubbed the “Crooked and Obscene,” this grotesque tribute to the left’s obsession with attacking the Republican frontrunner was erected just outside Las Vegas, ahead of Kamala Harris’ rally, according to TMZ.
The massive foam and rebar construction, weighing an unbelievable 6,000 pounds, was erected over Interstate 15 on the way to Utah as part of the “Crooked and Obscene” tour.

As Donald Trump railed against immigrants Saturday afternoon in the Rust Belt, his supporters in the Deep South had turned his earlier broadsides into a rallying cry over a college football game as they prepared for the former president’s visit later in the evening.
“You gotta get these people back where they came from,” Trump said in Wisconsin, as the Republican presidential nominee again focused on Springfield, Ohio, which has been roiled by false claims he amplified that Haitian immigrants are stealing and “eating the dogs ... eating the cats” from neighbors’ homes.
The New York Times editorial board is backing Vice President Harris for president this fall over former President Trump.

Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton predicted an October surprise would upend the 2024 election during remarks for an episode of “Firing Line Show” with Margaret Hoover.
Margaret Hoover teed up Hillary Clinton by leaning into the idea that Hillary is just like Cassandra, the Greek mythological figure who could see the future and the prophesies but was never believed.
“Putting that Cassandra hat on for the moment, but we’re listening, what is something you see happening in the near future that we should be taking more seriously?”
During the Sustainable Development Impact Meeting held by the World Economic Forum (WEF), John Kerry brazenly admitted that first amendment is a threat to government power.
During the discussion, Kerry stated that free speech, particularly on social media, threatens ‘democracies’ by inhibiting the government’s ability to manufacture a consensus through the control of information.
”…I think the dislike like of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing, and that’s part of our problem particularly in democracies — in terms of building consensus around any issue, its really hard to govern today.”
Israel has taken the gloves off and sent in the exterminators, and the rats are running for cover. One of the rats is Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has reportedly been moved to a "secure location" within Iran: One wonders if the Ayatollah took his pager with him to the "secure location." As for the "proud Hezbollah," that organization was just decapitated with the death of Hassan Nasrallah, only days after some of the most interesting operations in recent history, which operations included exploding electronics:
Mark Cuban warned Elon Musk about Donald Trump sense of loyalty following the Tesla CEO's declaration that this could be America's 'last election' if Trump loses.
The billionaires are feuding over Musk's support for former President Donald Trump, as the former Dallas Mavericks owner endorsed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
Musk drew Cuban's ire on Sunday by making a stark declaration on X about Democrats conspiring to rig the electorate. The Tesla founder insisted that democracy is in peril; and only Trump can save us.
A new poll shows that Taylor Swift’s popularity has dropped overall among voters following her endorsement of Kamala Harris this month.
Taylor Swift’s overall favorability among all registered voters fell from last year, decreasing from 40 percent in 2023 to 33 percent this year, according to an NBC News poll released Friday. While 16 percent had negative feelings about her in 2023, 27 percent say they do now.
About 26 percent of independents have a positive attitude toward Swift, a drop from 34 percent in 2023.
The NBC News poll is the latest survey to show that Swift’s endorsement hasn’t had the impact Democrats were hoping for.
