The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released footage Friday of a tank firing a shell at the building in southern Gaza where Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was taking cover. He was killed by a sniper but the tank shell brought down the building. His body was discovered by soldiers the next day and sent to Israel for testing; his identity was confirmed hours later. The IDF said in a statement:

A few months into Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential run, her handlers faced a dilemma. Should they continue cocooning the candidate or unleash her on the public? Both options came with serious political risks. Sure, Democrats could keep pretending Harris was a generational talent, but her refusal to sit down for an interview, much less give a press conference, was eroding this fantasy. On the other hand, as her handlers surely understood, the more people hear from Harris, the more concerned they tend to get. Indeed, Harris is a thermonuclear platitude dispenser. Few people in American history have expended so many...

Russia is “concerned” about the possible consequences for the Middle East after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israel, the Kremlin spokesperson said on Friday. "The main thing for us is the consequences for the civilian population that we are witnessing. This is of significant concern to us. The humanitarian catastrophe that is being observed in both Gaza and Lebanon is a matter of serious concern to us," Dmitry Peskov said in a press briefing in Moscow.

Republicans should keep the champagne on ice until the election results are official and act like we’re trailing due to the institutional goliaths we’re facing this election cycle—but one thing cannot be denied: we’re in good shape to win the election. It’s not over, but Joe Biden had a seven-point advantage over Trump in 2024. There’s no pandemic. And Kamala Harris is irritating everyone. Even the most ardent Trump-hater cannot deny that the former president is polling better than ever. While it’s a tight race, Trump has reclaimed the advantage in Nate Silver’s Electoral College projection: 🚨BREAKING: Nate Silver just...

The inflated voter rolls in Michigan, a vital battleground state in the 2024 election, are one of the largest imbalances in the country. ======================================================================= Around 8.4 million people are registered to vote in Michigan, but that’s nearly 500,000 more people than the total number of voting-age residents in the state. The inflated voter rolls in Michigan, a vital battleground state in the 2024 election, are one of the largest imbalances in the country, Bridge Michigan reported. The Republican National Committee sued Michigan Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over the inflated voter rolls earlier this year, along with filing lawsuits...

For those who lived through the '60s, it was a decade of tragedy and triumph. The often deadly quest for civil rights for Black Americans was a battle well worth fighting. The tragedy of Vietnam for those of us in uniform, (personally, I was on active-duty Navy and Marines from '65 to '75), tore a generation asunder with many, too many, peers blaming the warrior for the war. But as the sage of a generation, Kurt Vonnegut, would say, “so it goes”, over time healing began. However, the one truly unifying pride all felt during that fractious decade was the...

When the rubber met the road and the progressive climate change warriors in Silicon Valley needed energy to power their AI and data centers, you might be surprised to learn they didn’t opt for the “renewable” energy technologies they’ve been forcing down our throats (wind turbines and solar panels), using the weight of big government, but instead went for…reliability and affordability. Or maybe it’s not all that unexpected, considering these are the same people who fly from climate conference to climate conference in personal private jets and gorge themselves on Kobe beef while calling on us to limit ourselves to...

[OFFICIAL.] WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, Oct. 17 -- 9:40 P.M. Maj. Gen. Dix: Advices from Gen. SHERMAN to the evening of Oct. 16 indicate that HOOD, after having struck the railroad in the neighborhood of Dalton and Resaca, has fallen back before SHERMAN without fighting, abandoning his great movement upon our line of communications. He has torn up some fifteen miles of the road from Resaca, north, but the injury will be repaired without difficulty. The interruption will cause no inconvenience to SHERMAN's army, as his stores of supplies south of the break, as well as north of it, are ample....

The mainstream media, which leans heavily Democratic, would have us believe the presidential race is neck and neck. An NBC poll from October 4-8 reports a 48%-48% tie, while ABC News/Ipsos shows Harris narrowly leading with 50% to Trump’s 48%. However, the same sources and others cast serious doubt on the reliability of these polls.Bread-and-Street IssuesElections hinge on voters' top concerns, typically “bread-and-butter” issues. This year, public safety and illegal immigration have emerged as equally important -- what we might call “bread-and-street” issues. Voters are asking: Are our streets safe? Are our wallets secure?A Pew Research survey (August-September 2024) lists...

September 17 was Constitution Day, a day set aside for American patriots to commemorate the moment 237 years ago, when delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed that document. It’s all the day when a prominent Philadelphia matron, Elizabeth Willing Powel, ambushed Benjamin Franklin as he left Constitution Hall. Spying Franklin, she pounced with the interrogatory, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” This is the famous question to which Franklin uttered his famous response: “A republic, if you can keep it!”Today’s patriots commemorate this brief colloquy precisely because of the chilling fact that we haven’t “kept”...

Vice President Kamala Harris dumped her so-called “campaign of joy” messaging for a more angry, bitter, and nasty tone with less than three weeks until Election Day. Polling shows Harris lost momentum in the past weeks while using the “campaign of joy.” Her new strategy appears to be the use of President Joe Biden’s 2020 and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 playbook that demonizes former President Donald Trump as unhinged, unstable, and unchecked. Politico Playbook reported the shift on Friday: You can see the change on the campaign trail, where Harris’ early emphasis on joy has given way to more direct verbal...

Well, folks, you knew it was coming. It looks like they’re already stealing Detroit, Michigan, and we’ve got all the details for you. And yes, we’re well aware that Wayne Country always goes big for Democrats; it’s a stronghold, for sure. But we also know that Kamala is struggling with the black vote, especially with young, black men. Things are so bad, they had to drag Barry away from Martha’s Vineyard to try and drum up some black votes for Ms. Harris, and it didn’t go well. As a matter of fact, it went really, really bad. Given these suspicious...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Several Jacksonville officials are calling on Mayor Donna Deegan to apologize after comments made in an interview with Times Radio. Deegan is currently in London on business, but is also speaking out on the presidential race and former President Donald Trump’s proposed immigration policies. Deegan agreed that there are problems with the immigration system, and a “tough border law” should be passed, and then had this to say: “To put people in what would really amount to a concentration camp-type situation, to round them out of the country doesn’t seem to me to be a very American...

Denial is not only a river in Egypt. It is also a seductive expedient for the Democratic Party in the waning days of the 2024 presidential election. You see it everywhere in the official activities of the Democratic campaign. WinBlue donations are soaring! The polls still have Harris ahead! Democracy is on the line! Escaping from the bluster of denial are worrisome little puffs of pandering, always a sure sign that the denial is at best half-believed by the denier. This is not surprising. Denial is the reliable product of desperation: the realisation, however imperfectly acknowledged, that the jig is...

"The migrant crisis has been the first issue to truly evocatively make obvious that something extremely dark and sinister is happening to the country." — Simplicius on Substack. The Great Fright among the elite of the party ruling our country steals across the land chillingly now from sea to shining sea — as if all those ghouls, werewolves, zombies, and tormented wraiths assembled in the front yard Halloween displays send up one mighty wail of despair: Donald Trump will seek revenge against his enemies if you elect him! they scream into the pale moonlight. Well, he ought to, of course,...

For the past four years, the topic of who won the 2020 presidential election has been a central part of our national news cycle. It has been a favorite debate question — and several outlets, including the New York Times and CNN, continue to bludgeon Republicans over it. J.D. Vance’s elusiveness on the topic has not helped his party or his ticket — and the media will keep using the line against Republicans up until Election Day. But the national media is also engaged in a severe case of collective amnesia. When Trump soundly defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, several...

Kamala Harris’ administration has been disastrous for Michiganders. Under Kamala’s failed leadership, Michigan families are being crushed by inflation, with cumulative rates hitting a staggering 20.5%, which translates to an extra $1,032 per month in household expenses. From gas to groceries, hardworking Michiganders are being forced to pay more for everything, thanks to Harris' dangerously liberal policies. It’s no wonder that inflation and the economy continue to be the most important issues to Michiganders this election cycle. Not only are they the most important issues, but 52% of Michigan voters believe that President Trump is better suited to tackle economic...

A shoe store called Sole Bros 513 in Cincinnati, Ohio, is reeling after being hit by apparent thieves who took items including single shoes. Three individuals are accused of stealing almost $50,000 of display shoes from the business in the early morning hours of October 8, Fox 19 reported on Tuesday. Manager Luke Kern said the trio did not take money. He said, “I don’t know what their motive was in taking one shoe, not the pair and not the box; you can’t do anything with that; you can’t sell just one shoe. You usually have to sell it with...

A majority of Americans (52 percent) feel worse off today than four years ago under former President Donald Trump, Gallup polling found Friday. Four years ago the nation was in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which greatly impacted the economy and the lives of millions of Americans. Despite the crises, Americans believe they were better off. Costs increased by about 20 percent across the board after the Biden-Harris administration assumed office and instituted “Bidenomics.” Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas and Iran attacked Israel, illegal migrants invaded the southern border, and the nation suffered the deadly Afghan withdrawal. Gallup reported its...
