Iran Attacks Israel
This morning, Pentagon sources told the media that an Iranian missile attack against Israel was imminent. Shortly before 1:00 PM ET, Iran’s attack began. All Israelis were ordered to bomb shelters. Israeli media reports that Iran fired at least 180 ballistic missiles. Thankfully, most were intercepted.
At the same time, a terrorist attack was launched in Tel Aviv, killing six people.
A spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces said Israel will respond to Iran “in the place and the time we determine.” But you can bet that the Biden administration is already pressuring Israel not to respond.
Four years ago during the Trump administration, Israel was signing peace treaties with its Arab neighbors.
Right in the middle of where the U.S. Navy is operating in the region, an Iranian intelligence ship has been sending information to the Houthi rebels in Yemen so they can more accurately target U.S. vessels and Israel. We could and should blow it out of the water, but Biden won’t give the green light.
That tells you everything you need to know about the weakness of this administration.
Media Malfeasance
To read the “mainstream media” obituaries, you would think Hassan Nasrallah was a great guy to be around. The Washington Post wrote, “Mr. Nasrallah was seen as a father figure, a moral compass, and a political guide.”
The Wall Street Journal wrote, “Nasrallah also had a sense of humor.” Was that whole “Death to Israel! Death to America!” thing just a joke? Did Hitler have a good sense of humor, too?
Other obituaries described Nasrallah as a “pragmatist.” Really? He wanted to wipe Israel off the face of the earth! Of all the words to describe a genocidal maniac, “pragmatist” is not one of them.
The media act like Hezbollah is just a run-of-the-mill charity with Nasrallah as a father figure. They’re so upset and heartbroken that their pragmatic leader is gone.
Well, they are upset in Dearborn, Michigan, where some members of the Muslim community held a memorial service for the terrorist thug.
The underreported story is that there are celebrations in many corners of the Middle East because this monster is no longer alive. And if Hezbollah was wiped out, the celebrations would be even bigger.
Students For Genocide
A radical Islamic student group at the University of Pennsylvania put up a social media post late last week. It read:
“His soul departed to join his fellow martyrs, resisting until the last moment. . . The blood of these martyrs will form new fuel for the fire of resistance, which will not die down until the liberation of Palestine and all occupied Arab lands.”
American university students offered a tribute to Hassan Nasrallah, the terrorist leader of Hezbollah who was killed by an Israeli airstrike Friday.
Meanwhile, Students for Justice in Palestine is planning a “week of rage” next week to mark the one-year anniversary of the October 7th massacre of innocent Israelis by the jihadists of Hamas. The barbarians are inside the gates.
Students for Justice in Palestine and other “allied” organizations need to be kicked off every university campus!
The same goes for the nutty professors in Faculty for Justice in Palestine (FJP). According to a new report, Jewish students are seven times more likely to be physically attacked if there is an FJP chapter on campus.
There’s more “resistance” at these universities to having a Christian club than there is to a group of Jew-haters who also hate America.
While they’re at it, our universities need to kick the Confucius Centers off their campuses, too. They are nothing more than front groups for the Chinese Communist Party, which we are likely to be at war with in the next decade.
Parents, if your children are graduating high school and looking at which universities to attend, here’s a quick way to narrow down the list: If the university has either a Confucius Center or a Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, take that school off your list!
Response Disaster
Is anyone in charge in Washington right now? Millions of Americans are without power and water. Whole towns have been destroyed. Families have lost everything.
And while this disaster was unfolding, the president was at the beach, getting his feet tickled by the Atlantic waves as Americans watched their homes get washed away. The vice president was partying with Hollywood celebrities in California, saying, “It’s so good to be home,” while many Americans’ homes were floating down the floodwaters.
In times of tragedy and great pain, the least our leaders can do is express their concern and offer some encouragement. I’ve not seen one iota of sympathy or emotion of any kind from the White House.
They can show real passion. I’ve seen Harris tear up when a woman couldn’t get an abortion when she wanted it. Biden has given multiple angry speeches denouncing conservative ideas and calling half the country “semi-fascist.”
But they have no heart for the suffering of Middle Americans, whether they’re in East Palestine, Ohio, Eagle Pass, Texas, or Athens, Georgia.
By the way, Donald Trump started a GoFundMe page for the hurricane victims. As of now, it has raised more than $3,000,000.
Debate Night
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Senator J.D. Vance will face off tonight in their only televised national debate, and it may be the last debate of the campaign.
CBS News is hosting the debate, which will be moderated by Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan. The debate airs at 9:00 PM ET.
There is a lot at stake in this election. Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) discussed the “profound consequences” of progressive demands to eliminate Senate rules that allow for extended debate. Daines said:
“That means D.C. and Puerto Rico are now states. That means four Democrat senators in perpetuity. They will also move the Supreme Court from nine to 13 justices. They will pack the court. And last, they will pass one of their favorite bills and that’s the federal takeover of all the elections. . . This bill would remove any voter ID laws that states have passed. It would be all mail-in ballots.”
