of being 'obnoxious' and 'biased' in Vance-Walz showdown replies
J.D. Vance and Tim Walz's first and only vice presidential debate in New York sparked fiery exchanges and interventions from the CBS moderators and Donald Trump.
Hosts Norah O'Donnell and Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan were accused of being biased after cutting Vance's mic when he hit back at a fact check on his claims on Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.
Megyn Kelly led the fury by posting 'How Dare You! on X on a night where Vance have a strong performance and Walz had a stumbling start.
JD Vance was accurately describing the migrant crisis fueled by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden when CBS moderator Margaret Brennan decided to insert herself with a “fact check.”
“Just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status,” she said smugly.
Vance was rightly annoyed by the interruption and said, “The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact check, and since you’re fact checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on.”
NEW YORK — CBS News cut off both candidates’ microphones during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate after Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) sparred with one of the moderators on immigration before Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz decided to chime in.
Vance, 40, spoke over both moderators to make a point about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, after he felt he was unfairly “fact-checked” by “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan.

You’ve got housing that is totally unaffordable because we brought in millions of illegal immigrants

Well, Tim Walz nailed this part of the debate.
When asked about the inconsistencies and obvious lies about his travel to China, specifically his trip to Tiananmen Square, Walz called himself a knucklehead. Points for accuracy!
His answer was awkward and he seemed unready for it, which is astonishing. He had to know this was coming.
Watch these clips: (X Video's) Twitter/X users caught it… (X's) At least he was honest about that part.

Andrew Pollack, the father of a school shooting victim at Parkland High School, weighed in on Walz’s comments.

Here are the winners and losers in Tuesday’s vice presidential debate:

Sen. J.D. Vance. Donald Trump’s running mate was confident and clearly articulated his arguments, which were usually concise and on point. He was effective in addressing viewers at home, as when he acknowledged that many viewers are worried “that the American dream is unattainable.” Mr. Vance also easily brushed aside what seemed like one-sided, and unexpected, fact-checking of him by CBS’s moderators. He quickly turned it to his advantage in a discussion of illegal immigration.
The Republican was masterful in a disarming way of paying backhanded compliments to the Democratic ticket.
Vice Presidential candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz agreed that schools need to be safer for children before the Democrat made a stunning admission.
'I got a 17-year-old and he witnessed a shooting at a community center playing volleyball,' the Minnesota governor said recounting how his son Gus, 17, witnessed a tragedy himself. 'Those things don't leave you.'
Vance was shocked by the story and immediately offered his condolences. 'I didn't know your 17-year-old witnessed a shooting. I'm sorry about that. Christ have mercy. That is awful,' the Republican said.
Donald Trump flipped the script on the division of labor with his running mate, opting for the attack dog role while running mate J.D. Vance found occasional agreement with rival Tim Walz during the vice presidential debate.
The CBS moderators were Trump's first target just as events got underway Tuesday evening.
‘Both young ladies have been extremely biased Anchors!’ Trump wrote about Margaret Brennan and Norah O’Donnell, who are both longtime members of the media. Brennan is 44, and O'Donnell is 50. Trump is 78.
Vice Presidential Nominees J.D. Vance and Tim Walz take the stage tonight for the Vice Presidential debate at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City.
Watch live below.
This is expected to be the last debate until the election on November 5.
Tim Walz will likely be given free rein to lie about his policies and Kamala Harris’ record as Vice President, while Vance is dishonestly fact-checked at every turn by unabashed moderators. Previously, J.D. Vance joked with reporters about how he was preparing for the debate, saying, “I found a good friend from back home who embellishes and lies a lot, and
The vice presidential debate wasn't even a close contest. As I've been predicting for months, JD Vance absolutely demolished Tim Walz despite having to battle the moderators at the same time. Vance was composed and ready, showing a keen intellect in the face of Walz's constant flailing and emotional outbursts. There are going to be a lot of moments that stick out, but for my money, the two best came back to back. When Walz gave a scripted answer about Kamala Harris' economic plans, Vance was ready. VANCE: You say trust the experts, but those same experts 40 years ago said that if we shipped our manufacturing
Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are facing off at the vice presidential debate tonight.
Former President Donald Trump claimed Walz is a “complete moron,” but predicted the debate would be “rigged” against his running mate Tuesday.
Walz has said he’s “nervous” to debate Vance. Meanwhile, the GOP veep candidate is striking a confident note telling The Post he doesn’t have to “prepare that much.” The debate will feature live mics, unlike the previous two presidential debates.
Play along with The Post’s official drinking game and bingo card.
Here we go…
The far-left CBS hacks moderating the debate on Tuesday took time to “fact-check” JD Vance on the 20,000 Haitian migrants that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris flew into Springfield, Ohio in the past three years.
Senator Vance then interrupted and corrected Margaret Brennan about the Biden plan to fly in illegals to American cities.
That’s when CBS cut his mic! They wouldn’t let him speak! Wow! (Video)
Has anyone noticed that CNN stands nearly alone in the mainstream media as resistant to the Kamala Harris Joy™ Revival? Perhaps they perhaps get a dose of reality from the presidential debate they moderated in June. Or maybe their Close Encounter of the Harris-Walz Kind in late August showed CNN that Gertrude Stein's observation about Oakland -- there's no there there -- applies even more to Harris.
Or maybe they just pay attention to their own data. Yesterday, Harry Enten dumped all sorts of cold water on Democrat prospects this November with Harris at the top of the ticket. Or perhaps in this context, the problem comes from the man
As I write this, the vice presidential debate between Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is living up to the hype as Vance is wiping the floor with Walz, leaving him stammering and staring as though he can't remember anything from his script except "But Trump!" The best part of the night so far, in my opinion, was when the CBS News moderators tried to "fact check" Vance on the issue of the Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, even though the rules of the debate were that the moderators weren't going to fact check each other but the candidates could.
After Vance used the word "illegal immigrants"
This election cycle seems to have been going on since "The Munsters" was a primetime hit on television. I've checked and rechecked the calendar and — I kid you not — we are nearing the end of this thing. Given the amount of pro-Harris and anti-Trump B.S. we will have to wade through, these last five weeks may feel like another six months, but the end is truly nigh.
I mean the end of the election cycle, not the end of the world. Maybe.
Between now and November, I'm going to keep pushing back on a lot of the recurring false attacks on Donald Trump
Abon’go Malik Obama believes his half-brother former President Barack Obama is “still running the country” — and would have “a big role to play” if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the 2024 election.
Malik — who was best man at Barack’s wedding but has since parted ways with the 44th president — told The Post that his relative made “everything flip” in July, when he swapped out President Biden for Harris as the Democratic nominee, without a single primary vote being cast.
“Definitely he had something to do with it. … He’s still running the Democratic Party, and he’s still running the country behind closed doors,” he said of his estranged half-brother.
Vice President Kamala Harris returned to her natural habitat over the weekend — Hollywood, where she partied with celebrities and studio executives as millions of Americans elsewhere continued to deal with the deadly devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene.
“Oh, it’s good to be home!” Kamala Harris reportedly exclaimed to the crowd gathered for a Harris-Walz fundraiser at the JW Marriott in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.
Her prioritization of Hollywood stars over the millions victims of Hurricane Helene has resulted in a negative news cycle for her campaign. Former President Donald Trump is set to visit storm-ravaged parts of Georgia on Monday and will assist with the distribution of relief aid.
During a friendly interview with the All the Smoke podcast, sitting Vice President Kamala Harris proved she has no idea how a bill becomes a law.
What we have here is another situation where Kamala is interviewed by her own fans and asked puffball questions in the hopes of making her look good and in command. Unfortunately for her, she’s an idiot with no grasp of why she believes what she believes, and your only takeaway from the interview is how dumb and shallow she is.

NEW YORK — A super PAC supporting former President Donald Trump launched a website hours before Tuesday’s vice presidential debate needling Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for his links to China.
The “Tiananmen Tim” website — created by Make America Great Again Inc. and shared exclusively with The Post — blasts the Democratic No. 2 for “putting China first [and] America last” as well as lying about being in Hong Kong while the Chinese Communist Party was brutally putting down pro-democracy protests at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1989.

Over 200 retired military generals and admirals endorsed former President Donald Trump in an open letter released on Monday, saying that he has demonstrated the leadership ability needed to provide for the safety and security of the United States.
The group who organized the letter, Flag Officers 4 America, said in a statement: “Donald Trump has a proven track record of success providing the most fundamental responsibilities required of a U.S. President: protecting national security, domestic safety, and the U.S. Constitution.” Meanwhile, they said, “The current administration, led by the President and Vice President, has allowed our nation to become unsecure,
Those of us on the conservative/libertarian side of the political spectrum understand how unfair presidential and vice-presidential debates can be, and as evidence, we need to look no further than the September 10th debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, in which Trump was tag-teamed by Kamala Harris and debate "moderators" Davie Muir and Linsey Davis, both of ABC News. These two... people gave one of the most appallingly biased, unfair, and partisan performances by any moderator(s) in the history of presidential debates. The VP debate between Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz, hosted by CBS and "moderated" by Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan, is unlikely to be

If there was ever a day to torch Kamala Harris and her ostensible boss Joe Biden over their foreign policy failures, today is that day. Iran is launching missiles at Israel, terrorists struck Tel Aviv, Hamas continues to hold hostages, and Russia keeps on killing thousands in its invasion of Ukraine.
All that, and we haven't even gotten to China flexing their muscles.
All the while, Harris-Biden just keep repeating the word “ceasefire” over and over again, as if it’s some magical solution that will instantly solve all the intractable problems in the Midde East. Of course, that’s nonsense, as Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran have all repeatedly shown
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. JD Vance will face off for the first time in what is most likely the last debate of the 2024 election cycle.
This time, the debate will be moderated by CBS Evening News anchor Norah O'Donnell and Face the Nation's Margaret Brennan. Expect the moderators to relentlessly "fact-check" Vance after the September 10 presidential debate devolved into a three-on-one Trump pile-on thanks to Kamala's media cohorts.
Video was posted on Monday night of a brave North Carolina man rescuing an elderly woman who was swept away by the current in the raging flood waters following Hurricane Helene.
The Southeastern United States has been plunged into devastation after Category 4 Hurricane Helene, the strongest hurricane to ever strike Florida’s Big Bend region, unleashed catastrophic destruction across six states.
Helene’s ferocious winds and torrential rains have claimed at least 143 lives, left millions without power,
Eight migrant men are accused of looting Americans’ homes in flood-ravaged Washington County, Tennessee, following Hurricane Helene, which has left at least 128 people dead and hundreds more missing across Appalachia.
The eight migrants were arrested by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and hit with burglary charges for allegedly looting flooded residential homes in the area as well as flooded unoccupied homes. Some of the unoccupied homes the migrants allegedly looted were “barely still standing,” Washington County officials said, as a result of deadly flooding from Hurricane Helene.
Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel on Tuesday, the latest in a series of escalating attacks in a yearslong conflict between Israel and Iran and its Arab allies that threatens to push the Middle East closer toward a regionwide war.
The orange glow of missiles streaked across Israel’s night sky as air raid sirens sounded and residents scrambled into bomb shelters. Israel vowed retaliation for Iran’s barrage, which it said had caused only a few injuries. Before Iran’s attack, Israel had landed a series of devastating blows in recent weeks against the leadership of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Bodies are still being pulled out of the water as North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia try to clean up after the devastating destruction of Hurricane Helene.But that hasn't stopped leftists from celebrating the natural disaster, given that the victims died or saw their homes destroyed in states that don't always vote the way they'd like.[Snip] a normal human reaction to death and destruction even for those who don't know the extent of it is not to celebrate it based on voting patterns of the victims
On Tuesday, as reports were coming in of Iran's ballistic missiles hitting Israel, António Guterres, the Secretary-General of the anti-Israel United Nations, posted his demands for a ceasefire. "I condemn the broadening of the Middle East conflict with escalation after escalation," Guterres posted. "We absolutely need a ceasefire," he also insisted, as if we haven't already heard such a call from the UN so many times before. Guterres' post has received approximately 8,000 replies taking issue with his demands. Israel's X account also contributed to the over 1,000 quoted reposts, telling Guterres in no uncertain terms that they will not give into his demands.

As you go up the terrorist food chain of evil, the next in line is Iran. Iran has decided to jump into the abyss and began attacking Israel with ballistic missiles on Tuesday.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz talked a huge game during his first appearance with Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democrat running mate. “I can’t wait to debate the guy,” he said of Sen. J.D. Vance, his Republican opponent from Ohio. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”
Walz’s tune has changed so dramatically now that it’s unrecognizable. “Tim Walz is telling people he’s just as nervous about facing JD Vance as he was the Sunday afternoon in August when he warned Kamala Harris in his running mate interview that he was a bad debater,” said CNN’s Edward-Isaac Dovere.

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Donald Trump told Fox News Digital that the strike involving tens of thousands of port workers from Maine to Texas on Tuesday is a result of "the massive inflation that was created by the Harris-Biden regime."
Trump spoke exclusively with Fox News Digital on Tuesday morning, after the International Longshoreman’s Association (ILA) began its first strike since 1977 after its six-year contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance (USMX), which represents port employers, expired Monday night. "The strike was caused by the massive inflation that was created by the Harris-Biden regime," Trump told Fox News Digital. "Everybody understands the dockworkers because they were decimated
As we've highlighted here at PJ Media, the Biden-Harris administration's response to Hurricane Helene has been nothing short of catastrophic. It’s deeply concerning to witness the minimal action it has taken in the face of such profound loss and devastation.
While people grapple with the aftermath of the storm, the federal government appears to be indifferent, offering only the barest semblance of support, as if to create the illusion of action without genuinely addressing the suffering of those affected. And the criticism of the administration's actions — or lack thereof — is coming from both sides.

The longshoreman boss promises that his 45,000-worker strike will "cripple" the country. He makes his threat in a creepy video. Thing is, he's right that his workers' strike will put the country's economy on the ropes again — just in time for an election, hurricane clean-up, and Christmas.
Indeed, as Rick reports, the International Longshoreman Association's (ILA) members demand a 77% increase over the six-year life of the contract. So far, they have a 50% increase on the table from the consortium of companies, port bosses, and merchant groups. They don't want further automation at the ports, which, of course, puts the country on the ropes

At a 2014 congressional hearing held to mark the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Tim Walz, then a congressman representing Minnesota’s first district, recalled being in Hong Kong when the Chinese Communist Party crushed the student protests that had roiled the country since mid-April of 1989. The unforgettable crackdown came on June 4 of that year.
"I was just going to teach high school in Foshan in Guangdong, and was in Hong Kong in May of ‘89," he said. "And as the events were unfolding, several of us went in. And I still remember the train station in Hong Kong." He went on: "There was a large number
I've never been able to understand how Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) got elected in the red state of Montana in the first place, or how he managed to get reelected twice. Despite breaking with his party on a few select issues, Tester is actually less conservative than the average Senate Democrat, according to Heritage Action for America's conservative scorecard.
For years, Jon Tester has tried to maintain the image of a “moderate,” distancing himself from the broader Democratic Party and pretending to represent the values of Montana. In reality, he’s been nothing more than a reliable rubber stamp for Chuck Schumer
Anti-Woke Caucus Chairman Jim Banks (R-IN) rebuked the Biden-Harris administration’s Navy Secretary Carlos del Toro for violating the Hatch Act and lowering standards for recruits, in a letter first obtained by Breitbart News.

He added, “The Navy dropped its standards lower than any of the other branches and still fell thousands of sailors short of its recruiting goal because of partisan leaders like Secretary Del Toro are more focused
Americans have been warned to stock up on food, gas, and necessary items for several weeks. Many claim massive shortages of items we use every day will occur due to a looming strike by the ILA (International Longshore Association). (X) On Sept. 27, US Rep. Majorie Taylor-Greene warned about the ramifications of a strike in a tweet. Rep. Greene claims, “It’s very important to understand how critical this is given that America is now in a $36 billion dollar food trade deficit for the first time in our nation’s history.
Also, the Biden-Harris administration and congressional out-of-control spending have driven inflation so high that many Americans can’t afford quality of life.
Disrupting communications is a military strategy that has been deployed during wars throughout history. It’s also what the federal government has done to rural Americans as part of its war on Elon Musk, a tech billionaire whose support of free speech has put him at odds with the Biden administration and other powerful Democrats. The decision to cut rural Americans off from broadband communications had already been strongly criticized as harmful, politically motivated, and completely without merit even before Category 4 Hurricane Helene wrought destruction last week in some of the most remote areas of Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has privately complained to allies that his name and his accomplishments have virtually disappeared from the national conversation and about how quickly the party that he has served for more than five decades appears to have moved on from him, according to six people familiar with his comments.
Biden has noted at times that Vice President Kamala Harris, who took his place at the top of the Democratic ticket in July, hasn’t been mentioning him in her campaign speeches lately, including when she talks about an economy he believes his policies set on a positive trajectory, these people said.

USS Bulkely (DDG-84) and USS Cole (DDG-67) fired a dozen interceptors as part of the U.S. response to Iranian missiles launched at Israel, the Pentagon announced Tuesday.
Iran launched approximately 200 ballistic missiles at targets in Israel, Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder told reporters on Tuesday. He did not elaborate on what type of interceptors the two destroyers used. No ground-based interceptors were used.
More information will come later once analysis of the attack is completed, Ryder said.
“We condemn these reckless attacks by Iran, and we call on Iran to halt any further attacks, including from its proxy forces,” Ryder said.
Initial analysis suggests all rockets were fired from Iran.

At least eight people were killed when suspected terrorists opened fire near Tel Aviv on Tuesday, Israeli police said.
The deadly ordeal unfolded when two gunmen jumped off a train in the central Israeli city of Jaffa and started firing just after 7 p.m. local time, according to authorities.

This includes more than 400,000 convicted criminals and another 200,000 with pending criminal charges.
Of those 400,000, 13,000 had been convicted of murder, 15,000 had been convicted of sexual assault, and more than 50,000 had drug convictions.
Despite the Harris/Walz media avoidance strategy, we do know a number of things about the peculiar Tim Walz, Democrats' Vice Presidential nominee. First, he's a radical ideologue who has rammed through an extreme left-wing agenda as governor, despite razor-thin Democratic legislative majorities. Second, he lies habitually and serially about virtually everything. He's lied and misled, knowingly and repeatedly, about his military service.

In fact, there are regions with no access to communications at all, but for Starlink, which is why Elon Musk and Donald Trump are rushing in Starlink terminals. What most people don't know is that, originally, Starlink was approved as part of Kamala Harris' plan to connect hundreds of thousands of rural homes to the internet at broadband speeds. You know, that program that has yet to connect a single home... I say originally because the FCC--for obviously political reasons--decided to cut Starlink
Before Hurricane Helene made landfall, several cities and municipalities declared local states of emergency to ensure funds would be available for storm-related repairs.

attack against Israel, U.S. official tells
NBC News replies
The United States has seen indications that Iran is preparing to "imminently" launch a ballistic missile attack on Israel on the heels of Israel's ground incursion into south Lebanon, a senior White House official told NBC News on Tuesday,
The White House official warned that any direct attack on Israel by Iran "will carry severe consequences for Iran." "We are actively supporting defensive preparations to defend Israel against this attack," the official said.
The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem directed all U.S. government employees and their families in Israel to "shelter in place until further notice."
Greg Gutfeld took a blowtorch to the fake news media on Monday’s show for ignoring the report released Friday by ICE revealing Democrats and Kamala Harris have welcomed over 13,000 killers and 15,000 sex abusers into the American homeland.
Has there ever been another country in world history that has allowed 13,000 killers to walk freely into their country?
Gutfeld gutted the fake news media for ignoring this critical report that affects every family and every person in the US today.

Jimmy Carter has accomplished something no other former U.S. president has — he notched a 100th birthday. (snip) The proud Democrat, who has grown increasingly weaker in recent months, has told relatives he wants to hang on until Oct. 15, when early voting begins in Georgia, so he can cast his ballot in the 2024 presidential election.
“I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,” Carter said, his grandson, Jason Carter, told The Atlanta Constitution.
Trump in January

It would be good to feel better about life after January 20, 2025. But wait… We all know that we’ll be more than ‘just lucky’ to get out of this political hellhole intact by February 2025.
Not only do we have the multiple not-so-veiled threats against Trump’s life -- coming from the likes of Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries, and their devotees -- to the stock market crash predictors who daily warn clients that somehow, ‘mysteriously,’ Trump will not be inaugurated even if elected. We also have the two actual attempts on Trump’s life thus far. We have the legal and the media and the financial wars against him.

The Kamala message isn’t working. Some of it has to do with the fact that she’s an abysmal candidate, but it’s part of the trend we saw in 2016: the Democratic Party despises and dismisses working-class voters. Once the backbone of the party, the increasingly white, wealthy, and over-educated—those who dominate the cities and coasts—have taken the wheel of liberal messaging. Their view is clear: if you’re not like us, you’re trash. Hence, the lectures, the mockery, and the denigration of working people. It’s why working-class people are flocking toward Donald Trump and the GOP, though I admit it’s not because the Republican National Committee has been wizards at messaging.
The suspect who allegedly attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him.
Ryan Wesley Routh was previously charged with the “attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting a federal officer,” possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon, and possessing a firearm that had an obliterated serial number, according to a press release from the Department of Justice (DOJ).On Monday, Routh appeared before United States Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, and defense attorneys for Routh reportedly “entered a not guilty plea” and asked for “a jury trial,” according to NBC News.
Gina Raimondo, the Biden/Harris commerce secretary, was recently asked on CNBC about the impending port worker strike and declared that she has not been focused on that. What exactly does this woman do all day, other than campaign for Kamala Harris?
Raimondo was in the news last week for suggesting that Democrats should ‘extinguish’ Donald Trump. She also has a track record of being shockingly unfamiliar with issues that are directly related to her job.
Financial experts are warning that this strike could cost the U.S. billions of dollars a day and severely slow the transport of goods across the country.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the US supports Israel’s “right to defend itself” with its ground invasion of Lebanon — while vowing “serious consequences” for Iran if it attacks the Jewish state.
The Pentagon chief said he spoke to his Israeli defense counterpart, Yoav Gallant, late Monday where he was briefed on Israel starting “targeted ground raids” against Hezbollah overnight.
“I made it clear that the United States supports Israel’s right to defend itself,” Austin said in a statement on X following his call with Gallant.
Giorgia Meloni might just be the most interesting leader on the world stage right now.
Not long ago the Italian prime minister was a fringe figure: the head of a small political party called the Brothers of Italy, which has its roots in the country’s postwar neo-fascist movement. But in the seemingly permanent turmoil of Italian politics, Meloni emerged as the leading right-populist in the country. After the right-wing coalition she led won a majority in 2022, she became the first woman to serve as Italy’s prime minister.
An Israeli victory against Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure in Lebanon is vital to guaranteeing the security of the entire Western alliance. It will send a clear signal to Iran -- Hezbollah's paymasters -- that the ayatollahs' unremitting campaign against the West and its allies is ultimately doomed to failure.
[A]n estimated 90,000 Israelis being forced to flee their homes, leaving large swathes of northern Israel deserted. Hezbollah has said that those Israelis will not be able to return to their homes, raising concerns that Hezbollah, which had been planning to invade northern Israel, might also be planning to occupy it.
New York Times Endorsement of Harris Continues

Perhaps to no one's surprise, the New York Times continued an unbroken string of endorsing Democrats for president that it began in 1960.
In a hard pivot, the New York Times joined the rest of the media in turning from extolling the "joy" of Kamala's campaign to harping on her character. The article declares that Donald Trump is unfit to hold office (the editorial is much more fun if you read this part aloud using your best Foghorn Leghorn voice). According to the editorial, "regardless of any political disagreements voters might have with her, Kamala Harris is the only patriotic choice for president."

Israel and failed – which deterrent
will it reach for next? replies
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.
Questions raised about Dominion voting machines finally got the best form of sunlight today – sworn testimony in open court subject to cross-examination.
Election security experts Clay Parikh and Ben Cotton testified in Fulton County (Atlanta) Superior Court today. They testified that they were able to identify the master encryption passwords stored in plain text and unsecured on the databases housed in Dominion voting machines. They further testified that basic security protocols call for these passwords to be kept separate and secret so that only authorized persons can access them.

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.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees said a top Hamas commander killed in Lebanon Monday was one of its employees but had been suspended since allegations of his ties to the militant group emerged in March.
Fatah Sharif’s connection to Hamas appeared set to ratchet up pressure on UNRWA, already facing a $80 million funding shortfall this year. Critics have repeatedly blasted the agency, saying it wasn’t doing enough to root out Hamas militants from its ranks.
The U.N.’s internal watchdog has been investigating UNRWA since Israel in January accused 12 of its staffers of being involved in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel,

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.

What Is and Is Not Going on in Western
NC Post-Helene replies
As RedState has reported, the damage left behind by Hurricane Helene was nothing short of devastating for many communities in the southeast.
Western North Carolina was particularly hard hit by what was left of Helene, with massive amounts of rain that overwhelmed lakes and streams and caused widespread destruction. At least 35 have been confirmed dead with 600 said to be unaccounted for in Buncombe County as of this writing. Viral video clips circulating on social media show roads that have been washed away, interstates that partially partially collapsed, businesses completely flooded, and homes and vehicles being swept away.
Who would have thought that an anticipated natural disaster that quickly turned catastrophic would be the driving force that brings Americans together?
Hurricane Helene brought massive rainfalls and flooding at unprecedented levels, and from northern Georgia to the Southern Appalachians, to Western North Carolina, and parts of Eastern Tennessee, roads have been washed away, entire cities have been leveled, and populations devastated.
But had it not been for concerned citizens and loved ones, and some citizen journalists posting on X, the rest of the country would have been left in the dark.
Memories of Hurricane Katrina
replies
Hurricane Helene has devasted a wide swath of the Southeast, especially portions of North Carolina. Of course this has nothing to do with the government. A hurricane is what used to be known, quaintly, as an act of God.
But some of us remember with bitterness how the Democratic Party press blamed President Bush for Hurricane Katrina, and used that absurd narrative to destroy Bush’s second term. The idea of holding presidents responsible for hurricanes was always ridiculous, and it has never been repeated, although the Democrats did make a halfhearted run at blaming President Trump for Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico.
Kamala's Katrina

It looks like Lahaina was a model, not a muck-up, in the federal response to natural disasters in the administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
The response to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene across 800 miles of ten states suggests it.
Get a load of Harris, who has decided that now's the time for an Instagram shoot. Many noticed how 'Potemkin' it was: The affected area has no electricity, no food, no water, no roads and at least a thousand are missing in North Carolina. There are many out reporting that FEMA is nowhere in sight. Yet here we are, looking at her response,
In the wake of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact, former President Donald Trump is once again stepping up to do what the current administration won’t.
As the Category Four storm leaves a path of destruction over 500 miles wide across several Southeastern states, more than 100 people have reportedly lost their lives, and millions are left without power.
But while the Biden administration fumbles in its response, President Trump is taking swift action to provide relief where it’s needed most.
Elon Musk is not known for being a conservative, but he is definitely supporting Donald Trump in this election cycle. He has been very public about his support.
He has also become a champion for free speech and has openly voiced concern about the illegal immigration crisis that has been forced on the American people by the Biden/Harris administration.
He recently posted a warning to the country on Twitter/X about what will happen to the United States if Trump doesn’t win the 2024 election.

PHILADELPHIA — Dockworkers at ports from Maine to Texas began walking picket lines early Tuesday in a strike over wages and automation that could reignite inflation and cause shortages of goods if it goes on more than a few weeks.
The contract between the ports and about 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association expired at midnight, and even though progress was reported in talks on Monday, the workers went on strike. The strike affecting 36 ports is the first by the union since 1977.
Workers began picketing at the Port of Philadelphia shortly after midnight, walking in a circle
