During an interview with CNA on Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken responded to a question on how far the U.S. will go to defend Israel from attacks from Iran after Israel’s reported killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh by stating that since October 7, “one of the things that we’ve been focused on is trying to make sure that the conflict that emerged in Gaza doesn’t spread, doesn’t go to other places, doesn’t escalate, and we’re going to continue to do that as well. Now, again, the best way to bring the temperature down everywhere and to put...

And by "feds," we mean all of them. And then, the FBI finally tracks down a social media account of the would-be-assassin and releases a description that he had posted anti-immigrant comments six years ago, the implication being he was an extreme Trump supporter. Again, not even twenty-four hours later, the owner the social media site (Gab.com), posted the FBI's request for info AND the last few years of the shooter's comments showing the shooter to be a radical anti-Trump pro-Biden supporter. Remember, this happened days after the head of the feebs lied under oath about "questions" if Trump was...

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has commanded Iranian forces to launch a “direct” attack against Israel, according to a report Wednesday. Three Iranian officials confirmed the situation to The New York Times. The news comes hours after Hamas’ leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated in Tehran on Wednesday. The White House has been unable to independently verify Haniyeh’s death as of Wednesday afternoon, but Tehran is placing the blame on the Israel Defense Forces. Israel launched a strike on Beirut, Lebanon, on Tuesday, but has neither claimed responsibility nor denied killing Haniyeh. “The criminal, terrorist Zionist regime martyred our dear guest in our...

I’ve been ashamed of my fellow white women for far too long. Yes, I said ashamed. I know white women can do better for our neighbors, friends and families, and yet our voting record has repeatedly shown that we disproportionately vote for conservative politicians that have so clearly shown they do not care about women.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed Thursday that it had killed Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif in an airstrike in July that also killed his deputy, Rafah Salameh. Deif had survived seven previous assassination attempts, and Hamas did not immediately acknowledge his death. But there were growing signs in recent weeks that he had, in fact, been killed. The IDF released previously unseen footage of the airstrike on Thursday: צה”ל ושב”כ מודיעים כי בפעילות משותפת של צה״ל ושב״כ, בתאריך ה-13 ביולי 2024 מטוסי קרב תקפו במרחב ח’אן יונס וכעת, לאחר בדיקה מודיעינית, ניתן לאשר כי בתקיפה חוסל מחמד דף, מפקד...

In 2006, the hulking office building at 135 West 50th Street in Midtown Manhattan sold for $332 million. Tenants occupied nearly every floor; offices were in demand; real estate was booming. On Wednesday, it changed hands again, in an unusual online auction — for $8.5 million. The staggeringly low sale price of the 23-story glass behemoth that was once the headquarters of Sports Illustrated is the latest and perhaps most surprising sign of how the pandemic has upended the state of office buildings in New York City, home to the largest central business district in the United States. Several large...

Senators are now accusing the Secret Service of trying to make local law enforcement into "a scapegoat" for the Trump rally shooting after its acting director testified this week about why gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks wasn’t spotted in advance in Butler, Pennsylvania. Ronald Rowe, during his Capitol Hill testimony on Tuesday, appeared to blame local police for not seeing Crooks on top of the building from which he ultimately fired from. However, on Wednesday, the district attorney of Butler County disputed Rowe’s account and told Fox News that local snipers were not responsible for monitoring that rooftop. "I think they’re...

Kamala Harris will struggle to replicate Joe Biden's 2020 election strategy in 2024 due to her inability to project a moderate image and her radical political history. Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election through a successful tripartite subterfuge. One, Biden never really campaigned. His handlers rightly assumed that the more the public and the media saw a debilitated Biden in the flesh, the less they would want him as president. So, the Biden campaign used the COVID lockdowns to ensure that Biden stayed safe in his basement office. Biden strategically distanced himself from disinterested journalists, using COVID as an...
