In 410AD, the city of Rome was sacked by the Visigoths under their king, Alaric. The Germanic tribes had invaded Italy and laid siege to the Eternal City, eventually breaking in and putting Rome to the sack. Now, today, the United States faces some implacable enemies. Still, there is a difference between Rome in 410 and the U.S. in 2024: Our enemies are already within the city walls, and the civic leadership seems unwilling to do anything about it.
On Saturday, "anti-war activists" gathered in a Teamster's Union hall in Chicago. The Free Press' Olivia Reingold brings us an account, including a video of the activists shouting "Death to Israel" and

The Iranian regime on Saturday launched a massive and unprecedented attack on Israel, firing over 300 projectiles, including drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, toward the Jewish state. It was the first time that Iran attacked Israel from its own territory, though the attack also relied on its proxies in Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.
Thanks to an impressive joint response from Israel and the U.S. (with help from allies including Jordan), nearly all of the projectiles were intercepted â even over Jerusalem, Israelâs capital. There was minimal damage to an Israeli air base, which remained functional, and sadly a seven-year-old girl from a Bedouin village suffered

Beirut, Lebanon â A decades-long shadow war burst out into the open overnight as Iranian drones and missiles lit up the night sky in Israel and the occupied West Bank. Tehranâs operation was highly choreographed, apparently designed to minimize casualties while maximizing spectacle.
This was a complex mission. Over 300 drones and missiles navigated above Iranâs neighbors, including Jordan and Iraq â both with US military bases â before penetrating the airspace of Iranâs mortal enemy, Israel. Israelâs allies helped shoot down the bulk of these weapons, but couldnât prevent what was long believed to be the Middle Eastâs doomsday scenario, the Islamic Republicâs first-ever attack on Israel.

Iranâs Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) commander, General Hossein Salami, on Sunday applauded the drone and missile attack on Israel, lauding it as more successful than expected before warning against any retaliation from the Jewish state or its allies.
Salamiâs boast came despite the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) saying it had intercepted the âmajorityâ of the âdozensâ of drones and cruise missiles sent to attack Israel, though a few hit targets, including an IDF base, as Breitbart News reported. Overall a swarm of over 300 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles were used in air assault by Tehran.
Israelâs air defense systems were backed by assets from the U.S., U.K., and Jordan

Israel and its coalition partners in the Middle East successfully defended against an unprecedented Iranian attack featuring hundreds of drones and missiles soaring into Israeli airspace.
The Israel Defense Forces said early Sunday morning Iran launched 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles, with over 99 percent of them getting intercepted. Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari called the defense âa very significant strategic successâ as only a small fraction of them reached Israel itself.

After the missile and drone attack launched by Iran against Israel on Saturday, one can assume the Pentagon is concerned about an expansion of this hot war. The question of how much Joe Biden and his puppet master, Barack Obama, care remains unanswered, however (where is that Rashid Khalidi tape anyway, LA Times?).
Biden's persistent undermining of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the president's political left flank calling for Bibi's ouster during a war have been politically punctilious, outrageous, and deflating. They telegraph the administration's antipathy toward the Israeli leader and desire for him to fail in his country's quest for survival.

Saturday on Newsmax2, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani argued the correct response to Iranâs attack on Israel would have been to hit Iran at the earliest stages of the strike as possible.
Giuliani argued that was what former President Ronald Reagan would have done if he were facing similar circumstances.
âI really do think weâre missing an opportunity, a historic opportunity here â if we had a president like my old boss in the White House,â he said. âEvery time [when] I was mayor and I had to make a difficult decision, I would say, âWhat would Ronald Reagan do?â I know what Ronald Reagan

Iran on Friday launched an attack on Israel a day after President Joe Biden warned Tehran not to.
âDonât,â Biden had told reporters after he was asked Thursday what his message to Iran was, after it had threatened to attack Israel in response to a suspected recent Israeli strike against seven members of the Iranian military, including two generals in Syria. âWe are devoted to the defense of Israel,â he added. âWe will support Israel. We will defend â help defend Israel, and Iran will not succeed.â
Biden was planning on spending the weekend in Rehoboth Beach but returned earlier

Iran, through its United Nations mission in New York, issued a statement that appeared to offer Israel a way to prevent further escalation if it considers the conflict "concluded."
"Conducted on the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defense, Iranâs military action was in response to the Zionist regimeâs aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus," the missionâs statement, posted on social media platform X, states.
"The matter can be deemed concluded," the mission argued. "However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iranâs response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli

The U.S. military has shot down an unspecified number of drones fired by Iran targeting Israel, according to a defense official.
Iran launched a significant number of drones and missiles toward Israel on Saturday in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike that killed a senior Iranian military leader at the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria. The attack, which Iranian leaders had threatened to carry out since the April 1 strike, is ongoing as of Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday. âIn accordance with our ironclad commitment to Israelâs security, U.S. forces in the region continue to shoot down Iranian-launched drones targeting Israel,â the official said. âOur forces remain

WASHINGTON â President Joe Biden is catching up to former President Donald Trumpâs polling lead, highlighting just how close the 2024 presidential election will be, according to a new poll from the New York Times and Siena College.
Trump leads Biden by just one percentage point with both men at 46% and 45% respectively. The survey is a significant boost for the incumbent president who has been lagging behind Trump in recent polling. An earlier New York Times and Siena college poll released in March saw Trump leading Biden by 5 percentage points at 48% and 43% respectively.
But Biden appears to be shoring up
