This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then...

NATIONAL MOLDY CHEESE DAY National Moldy Cheese Day is a unique holiday that is observed each year on October 9. #MoldyCheeseDay A cheesemonger is a person who specializes in cheeses, butter, and other dairy products. They may take umbrage at the ordinary person's offense of moldy cheese. Well, depending on the type of mold, of course. Some cheese molds, red or brown-tinged molds, for example, are offensive. Toss those bacteria-contaminated moldy cheeses in the garbage quickly and move along to the grey, blue, or green colored moldy cheeses in the fridge instead. Like a sommelier pairs the best wines with...

Hamas’ terrorist attack this weekend took everyone by surprise, but it did not occur in a vacuum. How did we get here? Here’s a brief annotated reader. First, let’s look at the last major Gaza war, in 2021, which started, not coincidentally, shortly after Joe Biden took office: As with the conflagration before that, in 2014, the strategic backdrop for the war was simple: the foreign policy pivot, initiated by Barack Obama and revived by Biden, to create a “realignment” in the Middle East by partnering with Iran. Four days before the rocket fire started, Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei,...

Mahmoud Al-Zahar: "The entire planet will be under our law, there will be no more Jews or Christian traitors." Footage of Senior Hamas Official Mahmoud Al-Zahar calling for world domination has resurfaced online. “We believe in what our Prophet Muhammad said: “Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake, and I have seen its eastern and western ends. The dominion of my nation would reach those ends that have been drawn near me," Al-Zahar said in the video that was published on MEMRI TV in December of 2022, “The entire 510 million square kilometers of...

Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson Iran fomented this war To turn Arab public opinion against Israel So that Saudi Arabia Would not sign the Abraham Accords Brokered by Trump The Saudis would have signed two years ago But @POTUS and @TheDemocrats Alienated them instead Because they didn't want Trump to accrue the credit That he was truly due For his attempts to bring peace To the Middle East

X owner Elon Musk called out the Supreme Leader of Iran for his disgusting celebration of the terrorist group Hamas and its barbaric attack on Israel. Musk — instead of going along with absurd liberal media narrative attempting to draw a false equivalency between Israel and Palestine — went straight for the jugular: “Khamenei’s official position is clear that the eradication of Israel is the actual goal, not just supporting Palestinians.” In Musk’s view, “That will not happen. All that actually happens, decade after decade, is a never-ending cycle of violence and vengeance.” MRC President Brent Bozell praised Musk for...

The U.S. Army is set to make major reductions to its special operations forces, and going after the Army’s elite warriors is no accident. In an ever increasing effort by the Biden Administration to inject the U.S. military with as much woke propaganda as possible, special forces units remain among the few areas the woke warriors have failed to gain traction. Diversity is a strategic imperative critical to mission readiness and accomplishment.

At least 260 people were killed in a “massacre’’ at an Israeli music fest, which included Israeli officers getting blown away while acting as human shields and hostages having their legs shot so they couldn’t run, survivors say. Graphic new images include a photo of scores of dead lying in a tent at the rave, which turned into bloody mayhem after heavily armed Palestinian terrorists paraglided across the Gaza Strip border in Saturday’s early morning sneak attack on Israel. Video showed the unsuspecting crowd earlier dancing to music as the terrorists could be seen coming down in the distance on...

The Biden administration is furiously trying to contextualize its past, unsupportable policies that have sown global chaos, especially in the Middle East. But the more it spins, the clearer its culpability. Does it really believe that the long-agreed-upon U.S. green-lighting of $6 billion in sanctions relief to Iran has had no role in Iran’s terrorist support of Hamas, whether psychological or material or both? Do they think we are that stupid? < SNIP > Americans should not listen to what Biden’s team now conveniently says, but instead to what it actually does in the upcoming weeks when it is under...

Twenty-five years ago, novelist Toni Morrison famously labeled Bill Clinton as “the first Black president.” The first actual Black president, Barack Obama, would come later. But Morrison’s memorable one-liner still gets laughs. It was a smart way to say that Clinton broke new ground by elevating Black leaders and policies that helped Black people. By Morrison’s standard, President Joe Biden is our nation’s third Black president. But Biden’s 2024 campaign is worried about getting Black voters to the polls. Last week, the Biden campaign put $25 million into a radio advertising campaign to pump up enthusiasm among Black and Latino...

Editor’s note: As we observe – in horror – Hamas’ current bloodthirsty and barbaric terror attack inside Israel, it is vital to stress that it is Barack Obama who empowered the jihad terror group in Gaza – and helped spawn its current mayhem and destruction inside the Jewish state.Jamie Glazov’s new book, Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America, documents this dark reality. Below, because of the current terrifying circumstances in Israel, Frontpage Editors have deemed it urgent to run a chapter in the book written by Shillman Fellow Daniel Greenfield, titled How Obama Funded the Murder of Israelis.Make...

[Make sure to read Joseph Klein’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]With the support of the Iranian regime, its terrorist proxy Hamas unleashed horrific attacks on a massive scale against Israeli civilians by land, sea, and air on October 7th. The terrorists launched their savage rampage on the Jewish Sabbath and holiday of Simchat Torah, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against defenseless Israeli civilians in what is being called Israel’s 9/11.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that “We are at war, not an operation, not rounds, but at war.” He...

The Powerball jackpot swelled to an estimated $1.55 billion for Monday night’s drawing after weeks with no grand prize winner. The new mammoth prize up for grabs Monday ranks as the third largest Powerball jackpot and fourth largest among US lottery jackpots, according to Powerball’s website.

The number of homes for sale on the market fell for the fifth straight month in September amid the already severe housing shortage. A new report from Realtor.com shows that the total number of homes for sale, including homes that were under contract but not yet sold, fell by 4% in September compared with the same time a year ago.

[Make sure to read Robert Spencer’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]When Hamas launched its latest jihad war against Israel, the Biden regime’s initial response was mind-numbingly predictable. At 2:58AM on Saturday, the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted in Arabic: “The US Embassy is closely monitoring the security situation as a result of rockets being fired from Gaza through southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and the infiltration of Hamas activists.” Yeah, “activists” with balaclavas and rifles, committing murder wherever they had the chance.As if that weren’t bad...
