The US has to be ready for what could be a significant set of attacks against Israel by Iran and its proxies, US National Security Communications adviser John Kirby told reporters in a virtual briefing Monday, as international diplomats raced to avert a regional war. “We have increased our force posture and capabilities in the region even in just the last few days,” Kirby said, adding that “we have to be prepared for what could be a significant set of attacks.” The most important step right now is making sure that "Israel can defend itself and that we, the United...

Lyrics: Polite and smart and punctual, it once was good to be. You answer’d for your actions and a woman was a she. You’d stand up for your people, if needs be even fight. But now if you uphold such values then you are far right. We’re all far right now! We’re all far right now! Peterson, Rogan, Shapiro. Ee-aye, Ee-aye, Ee-aye-oh. We worship Mussolini His portrait’s in the loft. Musk saved Twitter. Heil Hitler We’re all far right now! Oh you say you’re in the middle, A moderate individual, A Gladstonian liberal. You once laughed at Donald Trump You’re...

In an effort to reduce the amount of plastic waste, California banned single-use plastic grocery bags in 2016. The thicker reusable totes that replaced these bags aren't, in fact, reused as often as had been hoped. Health concerns about reusing contaminated cloth bags led to stores offering customers sturdier reusable plastic bags for a small fee--typically ten cents per bag. However, most customers threw these bags out after a single use. The result is that the amount of plastic the state dumped into the Pacific Ocean soared from 157,385 tons in 2014 to 231,072 tons in 2022. The editors of...

A migrant who led a gang of asylum-seeking thugs in a savage, caught-on-camera beating of two NYPD officers in Times Square and then quickly made bail was just busted for serial theft, police sources say. Yohenry Brito, 24, of Venezuela was arrested late Tuesday for a pair of thefts at Manhattan Sephora locations: one in July in which he cut security wires on display cases to steal fragrances, and another Aug. 6, when he ripped off $1,358 worth of merchandise from store shelves before fleeing with an accomplice, who was not apprehended, police sources told The Post. He was previously...

The EU is attempting to dictate how @elonmusk will conduct his conversation with @realDonaldTrump tonight on X

History may or may not repeat and may or may not even rhyme. But certain events can only be ignored or dismissed with great peril. Sixty years ago this month, the Congress recklessly and foolishly raced to pass the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, with just two dissenting votes in the Senate. That law gave President Lyndon B. Johnson the authority to begin a war in Vietnam that the U.S. would eventually lose. The cause celebre was an alleged attack by North Vietnamese PT boats against two U.S. Navy destroyers patrolling off the North Vietnamese coast in international waters. Two days before,...

Former President Donald Trump is set to sue the Justice Department for $100 million in damages over the government’s unprecedented 2022 raid on his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, with lawyers arguing it was done with "clear intent to engage in political persecution." Fox News has obtained Trump’s memo claiming, "tortious conduct by the United States against President Trump."

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) says former President Trump should stop questioning the size of Vice President Harris’s crowds at her campaign rallies and instead focus on her as a candidate. “You’ve got to make this race not on personalities,” McCarthy said Monday in an interview on Fox News. “Stop questioning the size of her crowds and start questioning her position, when it comes to: What did she do as [California] attorney general on crime? … What did she do when she was supposed to take care of the border as a czar?” The former Speaker said Trump should also...

Republicans mocked the cover of Time magazine for its “reintroduction” of Vice President Kamala Harris, a radical-left political figure in American national politics since 2017. “The reintroduction of Kamala Harris,” as Times‘ X handle described the cover, is ironic because it suggests Harris needs a “reintroduction” — all while the media have failed to hold even one unscripted interview with Harris about her policies for 22 days since she entered the race. The lack of interviews runs counter to the multitude of interviews the media typically conduct when a candidate needs an introduction to voters upon entering a race.

Once again, the U.S. is exposed as weak and pathetic. Maduro is laughing. In a "free and fair" election, which is what the Harris-Biden administration reportedly traded with Venezuela's Maduro regime in exchange for oil investment and dropping someU.S. sanctions, the loser of the election steps down. It was a stupid trade, given that Maduro, a dictator, never intended to relinquish power. In front of everyone's faces, he put forth a fraudy election on July 28 and claimed he "won." He collected his winnings from the deal and left Harris-Biden with nothing. Because instead of restoring sanctions, yanking oil contracts,...

Anybody notice massive three color contrails over New Jersey this morning around 11:00a.m.? Looked liked dozens of red, white and blue contrails , in neat formation, flying southwest to northeast, as in I 95. It only lasted minutes, as it’s windy today. But wondered, wazzup? No announcement, nothing on TV.

More voters say they trust Vice President Harris to handle the economy than they do former President Trump, according to a poll released Monday by the Financial Times and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Harris leads Trump 42 percent to 41 percent in the August poll when respondents were asked which candidate they trust to handle the economy, regardless of whom they plan on supporting in November. The finding marks the first time the Democratic candidate has inched ahead of the GOP candidate on the economy question since the monthly poll began tracking voter sentiment on the...

During an interview on the Cats Roundtable with John Catsimatidis, disgraced former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy alleged that Kamala Harris is not truly in charge of her presidential campaign. Instead, he claims that Barack Obama is pulling the strings behind the scenes to orchestrate her election bid for November. .... Snip..... McCarthy pointed out that Harris has surrounded herself with individuals who were once part of Obama’s inner circle. “If you’re watching the campaign now, some of Obama’s key advisors, including David Plouffe, are working on her campaign,” McCarthy said, adding, “You’re getting Obama shifting from running the White House...

SNIP I’ve never been a macho kind of man. To me, our biggest responsibility as humans is to look after each other. Men have been given places of privilege in society, so when people talk about being a man, to me that means: what do you use your privilege for? I worked at a pirate radio station in Houston, and we helped with emergency efforts during Tropical Storm Allison in 2001. For me, manhood is all about using your energy to make life better for the person next to you. But I think that Trump appeals to a perceived loss...

U.S. — With citizens wondering what Vice President Kamala Harris would do differently than her current administration, Harris announced that she would release her policy positions just as soon as the polls told her what they were. "I have a detailed vision and plan to lead America into the future, and I will tell you what it is whenever the pollsters tell me what it is," said Harris. "What I can tell you so far is that I support not taxing tips for waiters, as I already saw how Trump was polling with that." According to sources, the campaign has...

San Francisco's glitzy hotels have been plunged into massive debt following a dramatic drop off in tourism to the Golden Gate City. The Californian city's two biggest hotels, the Hilton Parc 55 and Hilton San Francisco Union Square, have lost a combined $1billion in value, according to the Kroll Bond Rating Agency. Their worth is now $553.8 million.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was told Monday that Ukraine currently controls 28 settlements in the Kursk region, as Russia expanded its evacuations amid Kyiv's ongoing cross-border offensive. The Russian state-run news agency, RIA Novosti reported on its Telegram channel that Putin had a meeting with top Russian security officials where he was notified by the acting Kursk governor that "the situation in the region is difficult" and noted that Ukraine currently controls 28 settlements in the region. Video footage from RIA Novosti showed Putin reacting angrily and interrupting the acting governor during the meeting.

One of the worst things about politicians like Public Defender Carey Haughwout is that when they age out of office, they think they can control who takes their place and what happens once they’re off playing shuffleboard at Del Boca Vista. Haughwout is retiring as Palm Beach County Public Defender after 24 years on the job, and it’s a two-man race to replace her between Adam Frankel and Dan Eisinger. They’re both Democrats, so Republicans have to choose one to vote for, but God forbid either one of them actually asks Republicans for their vote the way Frankel has. Haughwout...

CLAIM: “If Donald Trump wins in November, he will once again implement policies that target the LGBTQ+ community.” VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Trump promoted LGBTQ+ rights and set boundaries on the transgender issue. Vice President Kamala Harris is ramping up the fear machine, telling her supporters that Trump will “target” the LGBTQ+ community. The Log Cabin Republicans, an established gay rights group within the conservative movement, responded: Kamala Harris is fear-mongering for LGBT votes. ❌ Trump did NOT take away protections for LGBT workers or patients. ❌ Trump did NOT ban trans people from the military. ✅ Trump DID create a...
