    A video published by the Israeli military showed that planes it said were used in the attack that killed Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, on Friday night carried 2,000-pound bombs, according to munitions experts and a New York Times analysis. The video showed eight planes fitted with at least 15 2,000-pound bombs, including the American-manufactured BLU-109 with a JDAM kit, a precision guidance system that attaches to bombs, according to Trevor Ball, a former U.S. Army explosive ordnance disposal technician. These bombs, a type of munition known as bunker busters, can penetrate underground before detonating. In May, the Biden administration announced...

    Asked by reporters whether an Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon is inevitable, US President Joe Biden responds, “It’s time for a ceasefire.” On Friday, a senior Israeli official briefing foreign reporters on the IDF strike targeting Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said Jerusalem took the step with the hope that it would allow it to avoid having to launch a ground invasion.

    Explanation: Shockwaves ripple across the glare as a launch eclipses the setting Sun in this exciting close-up. Captured on September 17, the roaring Falcon 9 rocket carried European Galileo L13 navigation satellites to medium Earth orbit after a lift-off from Cape Canaveral on Florida's space coast. The Falcon 9 booster returned safely to Earth about 8.5 minutes later, notching the 22nd launch and landing for the reusable workhorse launch vehicle. But where did it land?

    As RedState previously reported, the Democrat presidential nominee is visiting Arizona Friday alongside Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) in an effort to try and prove that she's a proponent of strong border security, despite the fact this is only her second trip to the border since becoming vice president nearly four years ago. "Harris will 'argue that American sovereignty requires setting rules at the border and enforcing them,'" Politico wrote earlier, while also noting that Harris was going to try to walk the line between tougher enforcement and "safe, orderly, and humane" illegal immigration policies.

    Opponents of Israel and allies of Hezbollah and Iran on Saturday condemned the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, after the Lebanon-based terrorist group confirmed his death in an Israeli strike on south Beirut a day earlier. Among those expressing outrage at Israel’s actions were Hamas, Turkey, Russia, Yemen’s Houthis and Iraq. Hamas in a statement said: “We condemn in the strongest terms this barbaric Zionist aggression and targeting of residential buildings… and we consider it a cowardly terrorist act.” It offered “condolences, and solidarity with the brothers in Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon on the martyrdom of…...

  • Border czar’ Kamala Harris panned for wearing reported $62K necklace to southern border: ‘You look ridiculous’

    The border crisis has been an albatross around Kamala Harris’ neck — and now her jewelry is too. The Democratic presidential nominee was snapped Friday at the southern border in Arizona, trying to look tough on one of her major political weaknesses as she walked near a razor-wire protected fence in the town of Douglas, chatting with an agent from US Border Patrol. Harris, 59, was wearing dark sunglasses, a brown jacket over a black top and dark colored pants, and sporting what critics claimed was a $62,000 necklace from Tiffany’s. “Dems decided to send Kamala Harris out in a...

    Modern-day grave robbers in Texas have seized unclaimed bodies belonging to veterans and sold their limbs for profit without the consent or knowledge from their grieving family members. Victor Carl Honey, 58, a dedicated Army veteran, who struggled with mental illness, died in September 2022 of heart failure. Honey was among the 2,350 people whose remains were sent to the body donation program at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort-Worth. However, a month after his death, the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Officer deemed Honey's body 'unclaimed' after they said phones for relatives were disconnected even though...

    Harris and this article state that the rich don't pay their fair share? Really? First, who determines what a fair share is? Fact is, there is no objective measure of fair share. Perhaps the fairest measure is that everyone pays the same rate as a percentage of income. Friedman suggested 17%, so if you make $100000/yr, you pay $17,000. If you make a million dollars a year, you pay $170,000. But, that's not how it works.The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (38.8 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (29.2 percent).The top 50 percent...

    On Friday, Israeli forces eliminated Hezbollah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah, together with Ali Karki, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, and additional Hezbollah commanders. In the past 10 days, Israel has decimated the leadership of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon. Nasrallah was the latest target of Israeli forces. Hezbollah and Nasrallah have been killing Americans and Jews for decades now. Tablet put together this graphic of their major operations. But not everyone is celebrating the death of this evil terrorist leader. The Western media praised the killer followoing his death – via Arsen Ostrovsky.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed his nation on Saturday night, telling them that the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was a victory for Israel and a warning to Iran. Netanyahu, speaking in Hebrew, said that Nasrallah was not just “a” terrorist, but “the” terrorist, responsible for the deaths not just of Israelis but also of many American and French citizens, among others.

    More than 13,000 immigrants who have been convicted of homicide either in the United States or abroad are currently living freely in America, according to ICE. The staggering number was revealed by the agency to Congress earlier this week, as it admitted many of the killers have slipped through the net. The immigrants are classified as 'non-detained' by ICE, meaning they are known to the agency and they have pending immigration cases in America, but they are not behind bars either because they are not prioritized or ICE cannot find them, reports NBC News.

    I used to believe Ronald Reagan’s description of America as the shining city on a hill that was the “last best hope” of freedom in the civilized world. In her few short weeks as the Presidential “nominee” of the Democrats, Kamala Harris has repeatedly veered toward replacing President Reagan’s vision with a new, depressing vision of the United States. Forget that she’s way too close for comfort in many polls to being elected the most powerful person in what we used to call the “free world” – she could do so after having received not a single vote from anyone…not...

    Vice President Kamala Harris’s approval rating curiously increased after she entered the presidential race in July, an NBC News poll found this week, causing political pundits to question why. Before Harris joined the race, she held the lowest net negative rating (-17) for a vice president in U.S. history. Her approval rating was only 28 percent in January 2024, and it only improved to 32 percent in July, the month President Joe Biden stepped aside. Harris’s approval rating is now 48 percent, an increase of 16 points in just two months.

    Barry Williams is getting real about the past relationships and hook-ups shared between his “Brady Bunch” co-stars. “We all hooked up with each other at some point,” the 69-year-old actor told Us Weekly. “Not necessarily while we were filming.” “I dated Maureen [McCormick], and Chris [Knight] dated Eve [Plum] and Michael [Lookinland] and Susan [Olsen] had a little mock wedding at one point. So, yes, we all hooked up,” he added. While Williams said the “hook-ups” were solely among the younger stars, he did have a “teenage crush” on his TV mom, the late Florence Henderson.

    From the smoky flavors of Texas brisket to the tangy sauces of North Carolina pulled pork, the American landscape is brimming with great barbecue. The rich aroma of succulent meats cooking low and slow over a wood fire is unmistakable and often irresistible, whether you're dining at one of the country's popular barbecue chains or one of the many singular, beloved barbecue spots down South. Well-made barbecue focuses on technique and high-quality ingredients, and it draws upon various regional styles. If you've traveled the country and sampled some of these styles, you'll often find very specific, slow-smoking methods and the...

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data show that 425,000 persons with criminal records were among the estimated 11.6 million persons illegally admitted into the US and released to roam the nation since Joe Biden became president: 13,099 were convicted of homicide, 15,811 for sexual assault, over 2,500 for kidnapping, over 10,000 for robbery, and over 62,000 for assault. Vice-President Kamala Harris pointed out that "based on these numbers, less than 4% of those we brought into the country had criminal records. American citizens with criminal records make up about 3% of our adult population. The murders we admitted represented only...
