Israel didn’t just tamper with the pagers, they manufactured them and used a shell company to sell them to Hezbollah. It’s unclear how much Hezbollah paid for their own humiliation, but they certainly got a lot of bang for their buck.

President Trump directed senior DoD leaders to ensure events on J6 be safe.

They ignored his guidance, prioritized optics concerns over security, and pushed a flawed narrative in their IG report.

Transcripts Show President Trump's Directives to Pentagon Leadership to
12:09 PM · Sep 20, 2024 //

We’ve known some of this before, but the transcripts themselves are pretty startling. They all but tell the sitting president of the United States to shove off:

Reports have since emerged that Hezbollah was planning an "October 7-like" attack on Israel codenamed "Conquer the Galilee." October 7, 2023, was, of course, the day that Hamas terrorists from Gaza conducted a merciless assault on Israel, resulting in the barbarous murders of thousands of Israelis and the kidnappings of hundreds more — many of whom are still being held hostage nearly a year later.

Following the latest action by Israel, the IDF revealed what they believe Hezbollah was planning:

'Hezbollah intended to infiltrate Israeli communities and kidnap and murder innocent civilians in a similar manner to the October 7 Massacre,' the IDF said.

'The IDF will continue to remove the threat of Hezbollah's capabilities and will continue to operate in all arenas to protect Israeli civilians.' //

If the Israelis "crossed all lines", why is the Iranian Embassy in Beirut still standing??

I applaud what the Israelis are now doing. With the feckless BribeMe Administration rendered even more impotent now that it is lame duck, it is a good time for settling scores.

However, the Israelis really need to come to terms with human nature and reality. The death penalty for heinous murderers such as Yahwa Sinwar would have prevented him being used as a pawn in ridiculous "hostage negotiations" trading a single soldier for approximately two infantry battalions of hardened criminals who certainly have added themselves to Hamas' order of battle. How many IDF soldiers have died in the past year because the feckless Israeli state put the life of that one hostage above that of soldiers who have to confront them once again on the battlefield? While loudmouthed hostage families pressure Bibi into committing national suicide to save their hostage son (who ended up with a bullet to the back of his head regardless...), Israelis soldiers are bleeding and dying fighting this criminal enterprise. Being serious about the death penalty...broadly supported in the Hebrew scriptures...would do much to staunch the dumbassery that is going on with hostages.

And if every citizen has mandatory military service, how the hell did the citizens face the Oct. 7th terrorists unarmed...discovering that when seconds count, the IDF is hours away? It isn't like citizens don't know how to safely handle weapons, is it? How incredibly stupid.

Liberal lunacy always gets mugged by reality. But then again, how many American Jews will vote for the Laughingstock?

So, what the heck is going on here? Why would her name be on legislation folders? He signs off on legislation, she does not; she doesn't have any role at all in that process. That's the Presidential Seal. Why would her name be under it? What is the answer to this? Is this more about her desire for power? Nobody elected her to anything. How long has this been going on, and what else has she been inserting herself into?

Now a House of Representatives inquiry into the conduct of the census reveals that miscounts in that tally may have been hiding that the loss in blue states may have been underestimated; the Census Bureau has apparently miscounted in many areas, and oddly enough, the miscounts always seem to favor Democrats.

A key House committee has begun an investigation into Census Bureau overcounts and undercounts that favor Democrats in awarding congressional apportionment and Electoral College votes.

https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/09/18/exclusive-house-oversight-probes-why-census-miscounts-boost-democrats-in-electoral-college-apportionment/. //

“The 2020 PES identified statistically significant overcounts in New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Delaware, Minnesota, Utah, and Ohio, while finding undercounts in states like Texas, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Illinois,” he wrote. “Of the eight states overcounted in the 2020 census, six states have typically voted for electors for the Democratic Party candidate in presidential elections for the last three decades.” //

Of the six states undercounted in the 2020 census, all but one have tended to vote for electors for the Republican Party candidate in elections over the same time period. Because of the 2020 census’s failure to accurately count, Colorado gained a seat it did not deserve, Rhode Island and Minnesota kept seats they should have lost, and Texas and Florida were not awarded seats they should have gained.

It's important to note that no similar miscount is documented from the 2010 census.

A76-year-old Alaskan man is in custody after he allegedly threatened to assault, kidnap, lynch, torture, murder, and assassinate six of the nine Supreme Court justices. The names of the justices targeted, however, were withheld by the Department of Justice — likely because they confirm Democrats’ incendiary rhetoric against the conservative members of the court is working.

The DOJ announced on Thursday that Panos Anastasiou faces nine counts of making threats against a federal judge and 13 counts of making threats in interstate commerce after he sent more than 465 messages pledging harm against justices via “a public website the court maintained.” //

The document accusing the Alaskan of several felonies, however, shows Anastasiou’s threats were well timed not only with a Democrat-manufactured ethics scandal, but also decisions secured specifically by the court’s conservative majority. //

For years, high-profile Democrats such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have pledged that the conservative-controlled court would “pay the price” for ruling against their party’s partisan agenda.

Women who do not receive treatment under the exceptions built into pro-life laws are victims of Democrat and media’s abortion deceptions. //

A closer look at the circumstances that led to the single mother’s passing, however, indicates that she died on the table during a surgery only needed because she suffered severe complications from ingesting abortion pills associated with sometimes fatal complications. Even the U.S. Food and Drug Administration admits nearly 1 in 25 women who take it will end up in the emergency room or hospitalized.

At nine weeks pregnant, Thurman traveled across state lines into North Carolina to get her twin babies dismembered. A traffic delay and scheduling conflict with the abortion facility, however, ultimately pushed her to accept a chemical abortion alternative. //

Thurman’s death was surely “preventable.” But the primary reason for it was not Georgia Republicans’ commitment to protecting life in the womb.

Instead, all evidence suggests Thurman’s death was due to medical negligence egged on by leftist fearmongering about lifesaving laws that provably protect women and babies from harm.

If ProPublica happens to be correct in its assumption that the doctors refused to operate on Thurman until it was too late because they didn’t want to lose their licenses, they are not only indicting the doctors, but also themselves, their Democrat accomplices, and the entire corporate media complex. //

“These laws do not restrict qualified, ethical doctors from caring for mothers and their babies. Louisiana laws and regulations ensure, expect, and empower physicians to use reasonable medical judgment to care for pregnant women — including those facing emergencies, miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and fetal abnormalities,” Murril wrote.

Women who do not receive treatment for pregnancy complications under the exceptions built into those laws are not simply victims of medical negligence. Their struggles and sometimes even deaths are directly exacerbated by the radical and deliberately deceptive abortion narratives touted by Democrats and their allies in the press.

Citizen “vote detectives” are invited to look for voter anomalies in their own neighborhood.

Democrats want to prevent Republicans from ‘engaging in any activities related to recounts, certifications, or similar post-election activities,’ and they’re counting on a judicial branch ally to make it happen. //

The case threatens to effectively put back in place restrictions that hindered the RNC for nearly four decades. A judge appointed by President Jimmy Carter instated the restrictions when he settled a case between the RNC and the Democrats with a consent decree that limited Republicans’ abilities to partake in regular election practices like poll watching.

From 1981 to 2018, the judge, who only served for 15 years but took senior status for 21, continued to renew the consent decree, and modify it in favor of Democrats, as The Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway pointed out in her book Rigged:

For decades, the Democratic Party built up expansive coordination efforts that the Republicans were prohibited from developing. Republican candidates and state parties could do things on their own, but not with help from the national party. …

The consent decree also meant the RNC was kept out of almost any litigation related to Election Day. In fact, a main part of the RNC’s legal efforts came to be training RNC staff to stay away from Election Day operations on Election Day, including recounts, and fending off litigation that arose from the consent decree. It utterly paralyzed the political operation of the RNC, as the slightest misstep would result in getting sued by Democrats. //

With the election coming up, the case has recently seen movement after being “randomly reassigned” to Chutkan in 2023. According to court documents, the case had two different judges before landing before Chutkan.

Although no major decisions have been made on the case yet, at a November hearing, Chutkan highlighted how important it was to keep the case moving in time for the 2024 election. //

A ruling in favor of the plaintiffs would restrict the Republican Party from being involved in elections more than the 1981 consent decree because the new lawsuit, in addition to asking that poll watcher restrictions be reinstated, seeks to limit GOP interactions with election officials.

Speaking with CNN, Rajiv Parikh, a Democrat attorney involved in keeping the 1981 consent decree alive, said Democrats believe a court intervention here will be particularly helpful for them in swing states like Georgia and Pennsylvania, where lawsuits and challenges are almost certain to arise.

Perhaps the funniest admission about this vibe-laden extravaganza was when Oprah confessed that she ran into a black man at the airport. I don't think she liked the answer that she got.

Elections are a time for voting and the time for voting for the best qualified person, and no time is better than an election for voting, and voting for someone who can clearly and plainly articulate a firm vision of why the voters who will soon be voting should make an informed choice based on the candidate who most directly articulates a vision and a plan for moving forward. //

I know all the words she used but they’ve never made less sense to me

The attitude by the Pharisees was, “I cannot associate with you because you are not of my religion; therefore, I cannot have fellowship with you.” Jesus, by His action, said, “Because of my religion, I am compelled to associate with you because I want to have fellowship with you.” Jesus went to the people, and through this, the people came to Him.

The nail-pierced hands stand ready to embrace all who come to Jesus. //

Far too often, we put ourselves down because we’re not out there doing what we would consider great works for the Lord. It may come as a surprise to us that God loves and uses us anyway.

The grandiose is not always grand. No matter how slight it may seem, the meaningful gesture from a graceful and grace-filled heart matters. Seek to do what you are capable of doing, and do that well. It may receive little, if any, notice. But God notices, and the person you touch notices. You do matter, and you do count.

The hard truth is that Harris has no plan. She thrust herself into the presidential race after tossing Joe Biden aside with full intention to coast to victory without having to define anything she'd actually do as president. Because of a compliant press, she's largely gotten away with it, but the truth always manages to slip out eventually. A Harris presidency would be a meandering disaster run by political insiders that bounce from one Democrat administration to the next. Americans can reject that or suffer the consequences.

As cool as it is to watch him produce his pieces, he's also got plenty to say. In an interview after the rally, he compared Trump to a firefighter:

"Your house is burning down, your children on the second floor, flames shooting off the back, screaming out the window. The guy across the street is a fireman, but you don't like his hairdo. You don't like his tan. You don't like what he tweets. That guy is going to come in and save your house from burning and save your children. Do you give a crap about his hair, his mean tweets or the tan that he has?"

"I don't think so. That's what people need to think about," he added.

Instead, Harris stepped in as the presumptive nominee right away. The donors lined up behind her, and within days, she had enough "pledged delegates" from the party's power structure to ensure her ascension. Not a single primary voter cast a ballot for Kamala Harris. Those are the facts, and Pelosi suggesting otherwise is dishonest tripe meant to mislead.

Until Mossad confirms it (and they won't), this could just be another cover story designed to make Hezbollah even more paranoid.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) announced that there are at least five assassination teams in the United States that are intent on assassinating former President Donald Trump, according to an interview published on Thursday. //

“I have Republican colleagues who have not ruled out a mole inside the Secret Service of providing information about points of vulnerability,” he said. “I’ve not seen evidence of that, but I’ve got colleagues that are very, very smart at this who say they can’t rule that out, given some of the anomalies and the fact pattern here.” //

JD Vance on the Haitians in Springfield:

Mushy language does not in any way attenuate the crime of crossing the border illegally, and it's important to note that whatever an illegal alien does after entering the country, no matter how law-abiding they are once they are in the country, they are still guilty of a crime by coming in illegally in the first place.

That's called breaking the law. It's illegal. These people are not "undocumented," they are not "migrants," they are illegal aliens, and JD Vance is absolutely correct to call them that, no matter how vociferous the left is about his supposed insensitivity.

“He alleges Walz was one of the few with access to the building where the top-secret manual was stored and was ‘often the only one there.'” //

A former National Guard colleague of Tim Walz’s told Alpha News that a nuclear manual went missing after the latter returned from China: //

sooner.

The 1-168th Field Artillery, Walz’s National Guard unit, started using the M109A5 self-propelled howitzer in 1995.

The weapon could fire nuclear artillery shells.

The former colleague also said Walz’s behavior changed when the manual went missing:

According to Walz’s former National Guard colleague, around the time the nuclear SOP manual went missing, Walz was pulled over by a Nebraska state trooper for driving 96 mph in a 55-mph zone. The officer noted a strong odor of alcohol, and Walz failed both field sobriety and breath tests. He was booked into the county jail and his lawyer later stated Walz believed someone was chasing him. //

Alpha News pointed out that people had to exchange information in person or through the mail in 1995.

“We still have many capabilities that we have not yet activated,” IDF Chief of Staff Halevi warns Hezbollah. //

While Lebanon reported only 32 deaths from two days of pager and walkie-talkie explosions, the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group was hiding the actual death toll, media reports suggest.

Consecutive waves of exploding devices have incurred heavy losses on Hezbollah’s leadership and terrorist fighting forces. The command structure of Hezbollah’s elite terrorist Radwan force has been ‘decimated’ by the well-coordinate strike, Israeli sources confirm.

Officially, around 3,000 Hezbollah terrorists were wounded in Tuesday’s pager explosions. The walkie-talkie blasts on Wednesday reportedly injured 450 terror operatives. The actual figures are much higher, reports suggest.

“According to Israeli reports, the pager attack alone would have caused “dozens of deaths, if not more” among Hezbollah members,” Israel’s i24NEWS TV reported. “Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force is reported to have suffered significant losses, losing “a large part of its command structure” that was either killed or maimed.”

The coordinated strike on Hezbollah is perhaps the most precise counter-terrorist operation in military history. The Israeli government and armed forces did not comment on the incident.

The Israeli news website YNET reported the actual damage caused by the apparent anti-terror strike:

According to the official updates from Lebanon, 12 people were killed when thousands of pagers exploded on Tuesday and 20 in the walkie-talkie blasts on Wednesday, but in Israel officials believe that the announced dead and injured from the pager explosions is significantly lower than reality. It is estimated that there are many dozens of dead, if not more.

Significant damage was inflicted on Hezbollah’s special operation forces unit Radwan force, which lost large parts of its command structure. At least 450 were injured in the explosion of the hand-held walkie-talkie radios throughout Lebanon, and these join the more than 3,000 Hezbollah operatives who were injured by the pager blasts. Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah is expected to give a speech on Thursday, in his first public remarks since the series of explosions in Lebanon.

The Iran-backed terrorist group is in disarray following the strike. Twice bitten, the Hezbollah terrorists were now scared of touching electronic devices and electric switches, social media posts show.

The Lebanese terrorist group apparently paid an Israeli shell company to acquire explosive-laden communication devices.

Israel did not intercept the Hezbollah shipment or tamper with the devices but exclusively manufactured them after securing an order from the terrorist group. “The Israeli government did not tamper with the Hezbollah devices that exploded, defense and intelligence officials say. It manufactured them as part of an elaborate ruse,” The New York Times reported Wednesday. //

By all appearances, B.A.C. Consulting was a Hungary-based company that was under contract to produce the devices on behalf of a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo. In fact, it was part of an Israeli front, according to three intelligence officers briefed on the operation. They said at least two other shell companies were created as well to mask the real identities of the people creating the pagers: Israeli intelligence officers. //

B.A.C. did take on ordinary clients, for which it produced a range of ordinary pagers. But the only client that really mattered was Hezbollah, and its pagers were far from ordinary. Produced separately, they contained batteries laced with the explosive PETN, according to the three intelligence officers.//

“We still have many capabilities that we have not yet activated,” Lt. Gen. Halevi assured Wednesday. “Every time we work on a certain stage, the next two stages are already ready to advance. At each stage, the price for Hezbollah must be high,” he warned.
