We Know Who Leaked Israel's Attack Plans
Against Iran
Posted By: Hazymac, 11/14/2024 8:34:58 AM
Israel was supposed to launch retaliatory strikes against Iran. They never came. Days and weeks have passed, and it’s clear why the airstrikes, marketed as unprecedented and lethal, were halted. Someone leaked the plans for the strikes. It came from the Pentagon last October. Now, we’ve learned of the individual who was part of this breach: His name is Asif W. Rahman. Mr. Rahman, a CIA official, was arrested in Cambodia on Tuesday and flown to Guam, where he faces Espionage Act charges. This man had a top security clearance (via NYT): "A C.I.A. official has been charged with disclosing classified documents that appeared to show Israel’s plans

Manliness Needs to Make a Comeback

Regarding the education of American boys, the news of late seems rather bleak: our boys are struggling in school. As Richard Reeves of the American Institute for Boys and Men points out, 45,000 fewer boys than girls are graduating each year from high school, amounting to a gender gap of 6%. The gender gap in higher education is even wider, with young men earning only 42% of the degrees. In the average school district, according to Reeves, boys are almost a grade level behind girls in English language arts.
These discouraging statistics track with Reeves’s other observations from the social science data. Distinct from previous generations, young men today
Going viral on X isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It happened to me this week, and I think I’d rather it hadn’t. Let me explain.
My daughter started her first year of college in September. Her father and I had a lot of conversations with her about starting small—somewhere inexpensive to be fiscally sound, living at home, getting an associate's degree, and then moving on to the college of her choice. Being our eldest and most responsible child, she agreed not to kill our finances right out of the gate. We were happy with this decision.
When she signed up for classes and I saw the reading list
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on Friday that his country’s war with Russia will “end sooner” after President-elect Donald Trump’s win last week.
Throughout the 2024 campaign, Trump and his running-mate, Sen. JD Vance, have vowed to end the Ukraine–Russia conflict, saying that the United States has provided too much funding to the Eastern European country and has warned about the specter of nuclear war amid the conflict.
“A just peace is critical for us, so that we do not feel we have lost the best only to have injustice forced upon us,” Zelenskyy told a Ukrainian news outlet on Friday, according to a translation.
Taylor Swift, who endorsed Kamala Harris for president, is reportedly seeing ticket prices fall for the latest leg of her “Eras” tour, which will play in Toronto this week — in some cases, prices have dropped by hundreds of dollars.
The series of concerts will mark Taylor Swift’s first “Eras” performances since President-elect Donald Trump decisively trounced Kamala Harris in the election last week, winning both the electoral and popular votes.
In a report published by the New York Post, tickets now start at $991, before fees, while just three days ago, the lowest price was $1,321 before fees, based on searches carried out
"His [Donald Trump’s] first term was undermined by Obama allies in U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and there’s evidence that the heart of the resistance is now ensconced inside the Pentagon and already poised to fight him."
That was the intrepid Lee Smith in “Obama’s Not Going Anywhere” on Tablet. As Robert Spencer notes at Frontpage, the evidence is already appearing. A plea-bargain deal for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and two alleged accomplices is back on the table after Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin canceled it in early August, doubtless fearing the possible effect on the presidential campaign. The 9/11 attack killed nearly 3,000 people in New York,
Automatic voter registration (AVR) creates a honeypot for voter fraud by bloating voter rolls—often in numbers above the actual population. It can allow noncitizens to register; and allows low-information, indifferent people to register who normally care nothing about voting. All of this results in the lowest common denominator getting elected to office, breeding corruption.
The push for AVR began during the middle of the last decade; today 24 states use it in some way. Usually, it consists of some combination of adding anyone who gets a driver’s license to the rolls, whether they care to register, or allowing them to opt out of registering when they get their license
With the GOP’s regained Senate majority, the freshly-branded Majority Leader John Thune has a mountain of work ahead of him once he takes the gavel. He must confirm President-elect Trump’s cabinet nominees, pass legislation securing the border, and extend the expiring 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act benefiting more than 80% of individual taxpayers.
But before any legislating can happen, the Senate must choose the membership of its committees. Thune must use his authority as Majority Leader to limit the committee assignments of one newly elected Senator: Democrat Adam Schiff of California.
Schiff must be denied a position on any of the body’s committees centered around national security, intelligence, or foreign affairs,
Conservatives are feeling pretty good about the 2024 election, but two things happened.
1. The margin of victory decisively beat the ‘margin of steal’. Despite the “elections are hopeless” blackpillers, you can ‘stop the steal’ by beating the margin of fraud. The problem is that this is like going into a game knowing that you have to win by 8 to win by 2. And if you win by 4, you lose.
2. Some election integrity wins (although far too limited). These included a ban on letting the Dems find and count ‘undated’ ballots until they win the election in Pennsylvania. This is the most common and pernicious form of fraud.

Musk See TV: Should Elon Musk Buy MSNBC?

Since the dawn of time, man has gazed to the heavens and wondered, “What would be, like, the most epic troll of all time? Cuz that’d be wicked cool!”
History is rife with trolling examples, both good and bad. In the bad category is a triumphant Hitler posing in front of the Eiffel Tower, shortly after France folded like an accordion. Those black and white photos were powerful pieces of wartime propaganda.
Politically, the most famous one is probably a wide-smiling Harry Truman holding the newspaper that erroneously proclaimed, “Dewey Defeats Truman.” That headline ran in the Chicago Daily Tribune, which must’ve been a mixed blessing for the publisher:
How Badly Harris Lost and Why
10 replies
Donald Trump appears to have been the first Republican in 20 years to win the popular vote.
Scouring the internet, the only Democrat figure who seems to be smiling is President Joe Biden. For the others it seems to be a time of mourning. A look at the results, their implications, and the machinations of the federal bureaucracy is in order.
The very best wrapup is by Victor Davis Hanson.
Harris-Walz were not the only losers: There were the media which gave him 95% negative coverage and the pollsters:
The polls -- with the exception once again of AltasIntel, Trafalgar, and Rasmussen -- were off, and way off in the Senate races.
After months of legal battles, campaigns, and a full-court press against it by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the recreational marijuana amendment appears to have failed to pass. Recreational weed remains illegal in Florida.
But it got 55.9% of the vote, according to the unofficial returns as of 8:00 a.m. Wednesday morning. Why wasn't that good enough? Most states require a simple majority vote to pass ballot measures.
So did Florida, until a 2006 constitutional amendment passed, changing the threshold for voter approval to 60%. Ironically, it passed with only 57.78% of the vote, one of the last amendments that will ever do so in the state.
Supporters claimed that well-financed special interest groups

to Undermine Trump, with Adam Schiff as
Fake AG 36 replies
Democrat Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-NC) is so bereaved by Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss and President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks that he is suggesting Democrats take action and form a “shadow government,” operating to oppose the Trump agenda that the majority if the country voted for.
Nickel put forth his idea in an op-ed in the Washington Post, asserting that it is time for America to “borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst excesses of a second Trump administration.” He laid out his vision on the House floor, asserting that “new times call for new solutions.”“Last week stung.

Laura Helmuth, the editor-in-chief of Scientific American, has resigned after receiving fierce backlash for her expletive-filled online tirade in which she called Donald Trump voters “f****** fascists” on election night.
“I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief,” Helmuth announced on her Bluesky account Thursday.
“I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching).” Helmuth’s resignation comes after she fired off a series of social media posts on election night bashing people who voted for former President Donald Trump over Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.

It is official. The 97th Oscars have a host and his name is Conan O’Brien.
The Emmy Award-winning television host, writer, producer and comedian will be the sole host for the 97th Academy Awards on March 2, 2025, Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang announced today. It will be O’Brien’s first time hosting the broadcast.
“We are thrilled and honored to have the incomparable Conan O’Brien host the Oscars this year,” said Kramer and Yang. “He is the perfect person to help lead our global celebration of film with his brilliant humor
New Yorkers aren’t letting Whoopi Goldberg’s sourpuss act spoil their favorite spot for sweet treats, after she put a local bakery on blast on national TV, alleging they refused to serve her because of her lefty political beliefs.
“I think it’s ridiculous. Why would she come all the way to Staten Island for her cupcake? To make an issue? They’ve been here forever,” Deborah Bernaz, 68, said of the comic’s claims against the beloved 145-year-old Holtermann’s Bakery on Staten Island.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with politics. They’re a little Staten Island bakery. I think it’s bulls–t what she’s saying. Leave politics out of the bakery,”

Star Rachel Zegler Apologizes for Wishing
Harm on Trump Voters 29 replies
With her new Disney movie set to open in a few months, Snow White star Rachel Zegler has issued an apology for her recent comments about the presidential election in which she wished harm on President-elect Donald Trump and his 76 million voters, saying she hopes they will “never know peace.”
Rachel Zegler blamed an excess of emotion for her ill-advised comments.
“I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on my Instagram last week,” she wrote in a new Instagram stories post on Friday. “I let my emotions get the best of me.”
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has filed to run for reelection in 2026 even as she is reportedly doing “terrible” after President-elect Donald Trump’s massive victory and Republicans taking the Senate and retaining the House majority.
The 84-year-old career politician, whose district covers San Francisco, has been in the House since 1987 and remains so after winning a 20th term last week.
She made her thoughts clear on the election outcome by saying Democrats might have fared better if President Joe Biden had exited the race sooner and gone before the party turned on him.
President-elect Donald Trump is entering the White House with a Republican trifecta, but he may hit roadblocks to implement his America First agenda — and not because of Democrats. Instead, Republican swamp creatures like Texas Sen. John Cornyn are signaling their intent to sabotage Trump’s cabinet nominees because they threaten the deep state.
Trump tapped former Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz to serve as attorney general. Gaetz, prior to March of 2021, “had been an effective and prominent voice in Congress pushing back against the Washington establishment’s worse impulses and abuses of power,” as my colleague John Daniel Davidson wrote.

Megyn Kelly slammed Snow White star Rachel Zegler after she wished Americans who voted for Donald Trump 'never know peace.'
Zegler, 23, plays the titular Disney Princess in the $209 million-budget live-action remake of the Brothers Grimm fairytale, due to be released in March 2025.
Following Donald Trump's resounding election win last week, Zegler shared a series of devastated messages with her 2.3million Instagram followers.'I find myself speechless in the midst of this,' Zegler said. 'May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.
'Another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in.
The 51 former intelligence officials who suggested Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation could lose their security clearances, Republican lawmakers indicated this week.
The potential action of revoking the security clearances would fulfill a campaign pledge by Vice President-elect J.D. Vance. “You cannot lie, take your position of public trust, and lie to the American people for political purposes,” Vance said. “It’s disgraceful. And people have to suffer consequences for it.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has not indicated if he will bring a measure to the House floor to fulfill the campaign promise. President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory fueled Republicans maintaining the House majority and Johnson’s job as Speaker.
Two Republican Senate candidates are refusing to concede after losing, and their allies are raising questions about how the election was conducted in a pair of swing states Donald Trump won.
In Wisconsin, Eric Hovde said he was considering seeking a recount in his loss to Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin and cast doubt on election patterns that experts called ordinary. In Arizona, Kari Lake has not conceded to Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego, just as she refused to concede when she lost the 2022 race for governor. Her campaign called it “hard to believe” that Lake lost to Gallego.
Concerns have been raised over a tattoo belonging to Pete Hegseth, the Fox News host nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Defense – with opinion divided over whether it is a “Christian motto” or a white nationalist dog whistle. Hegseth, an Army National Guard veteran, has the words “Deus Vult” tattooed on his bicep, which has been associated with white supremacist groups. "Deus Vult" is a Latin phrase meaning "God Wills It," and was a rallying cry for Christian crusaders in the Middle Ages. The Associated Press reported that the tattoo previously resulted in Hegseth being flagged
