U.S. kills Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri
in drone strike

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 8/1/2022 6:39:26 PM

The United States killed Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahri in a drone strike over the weekend, three people briefed on the operation told POLITICO. The strike was conducted by the CIA, according to two of the people, with one saying it took place in Kabul. Al-Zawahri was an Egyptian who took over Al-Qaeda after the U.S. killed its longtime leader, Osama bin Laden, in 2011. He never achieved the household name status of his predecessor, but Al-Zawahri’s killing is nonetheless a major win for the United States in the ongoing struggle against Islamist terrorism, especially as the United Nations warns that the terrorist group is outpacing its peers

So we’re openly admitting using CIA versus military assets to remove terrorists. I’m glad the dude is gone, but is this a move to help the CIA to be viewed more favorably by the public. When Trump took out Soleimani, using the military, the media and the left went nuts using assassinating as their only adjective. It was controversial etc.

I get that the Democrats badly need Biden to take a victory lap over something, anything really. But clearly he is not running the country or leading the CIA. Always glad to kill another terrorist anyway.

#8's reply made me laugh. Apparently, for the cynics among us--who isn't?--the Taliban didn't want him around, either. The terrorist physician smelled of elderberries. FTA: "...(A)n air strike was carried out on a residential house in Sherpur area of Kabul city." The CIA could smell him and his b.o. from the street.

Israel doesn't want the world to know they did it. Diaper Joe and the CIA need to distract US citizens from their real 'accomplishments'. A win win. Israel has proven over and over they have the competence and courage to pull something like this off. Our CIA is super great at spying on domestic threats which is exclusively Rebublican politicians.

Kansas voters protect abortion rights,

Topeka, Kan. — Kansas voters on Tuesday protected the right to get an abortion in their state, rejecting a measure that would have allowed their Republican-controlled Legislature to tighten abortion restrictions or ban it outright. The referendum in the conservative state was the first test of U.S. voter sentiment about abortion rights since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June. It was a major victory for abortion rights advocates following weeks in which many states in the South and Midwest largely banned abortion. Voters rejected a proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would have added language stating that it does not grant the right

Equifax this spring sent out incorrect credit scores for millions of customers applying for home and auto loans, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. As one of three major credit-reporting companies in the U,S., Equifax provides financial information and scores for consumers, affecting whether people are approved for products incuding mortgages, credit cards and car loans, and what interest rate they pay. Most credit ratings range from 300 to 850, with higher-scoring consumers getting more favorable terms. The Journal reported that millions of Americans were affected by Equifax's error, with some scores changing by as much as 20 points in either direction — enough for some prospective

Eric Schmitt has won the Republican nomination for Senate in Missouri, NBC News projects, ending a comeback bid by the state’s disgraced former governor, Eric Greitens. Schmitt, the state’s attorney general, was leading Rep. Vicky Hartzler, with Greitens further behind in third place, according to early results. He will face the winner of Tuesday’s Democratic primary between Marine veteran Lucas Kunce and Trudy Busch Valentine, a nurse and heir to the Anheuser-Busch beer fortune. That race is too early to call. The GOP contest commanded extraordinary attention for a primary in a reliably red state.

Dixon defeated four male candidates in a race between little-known Republicans.

The DC Comics film “Batgirl” will be completely “shelved” by Warner Bros., a top Hollywood source told The Post. That means it won’t hit theaters or the streaming service HBO Max. Fans will not see it. The reportedly $70 million movie (the source said the budget was actually more than $100 million), which was doing test screenings for audiences in anticipation of a late 2022 debut, would rank among the most expensive cinematic castoffs ever. Those tests were said to be so poorly received by moviegoers that the studio decided to cut its losses and run, for the sake of the brand’s future. It’s a DC disaster.

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit on Tuesday challenging Idaho's near-total ban on abortion, arguing that it would criminalize doctors for performing abortions during medical emergencies. Idaho's law is set to take effect on Aug. 25 after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, returning the issue of abortion to the states. The law bans all abortions except for cases of incest or rape that are reported to law enforcement, or when a physician determines "in his good faith medical judgment and based on the facts known to the physician at the time, that the abortion was necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman."

Miami -- The NFL notified the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday that the team would be stripped of its 2023 first-round pick, among other disciplinary measures, for violations of league policies relating to the integrity of the game. Following a six-month investigation, the league found the Dolphins -- primarily team owner Stephen Ross and vice chairman/limited partner Bruce Beal -- violated the anti-tampering policy on three occasions from 2019 to 2022 in conversations with quarterback Tom Brady and the agent for then-New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton. The NFL, however, found no evidence that the team intentionally lost games during the 2019 season. In February, former Dolphins coach

Joe Biden was diagnosed with COVID on July 21. He had negative tests last week, but then tested positive again on Saturday. Both his doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, and Joe Biden himself said he had no reemergence of symptoms. Here’s the doctor’s letter from July 30. In further letters on July 31 and August 1, the doctor didn’t mention any symptoms but mentioned he would inform people if there were any changes in his condition. But then on Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden had no “reoccurring symptoms” and then in the next breath suggested he had lingering symptoms.

The network boss camped out in mid-July in a room on the first floor of the Senate side of the Capitol, S-120, where he asked GOP lawmakers to come talk with him privately.

Billionaire left-wing mega-donor George Soros has written an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal justifying his support for electing radical prosecutors across the country amid a rise in violent crime and recall elections by angry urban residents. Since 2018, Soros has been responsible for electing dozens of prosecutors in big-city jurisdictions, often ousting centrist Democrats. Their arrival has been accompanied by spikes in violent crime and social disorder, prompting an urban exodus. In June, voters in the left-wing stronghold of San Francisco ousted radical prosecutor Chesa Boudin in a rare recall vote.
