‘imminent threat’ to Israeli civilians,
as alarms sound replies
The IDF says it has detected preparations by Hezbollah to launch rockets and missiles and is preemptively striking in Lebanon “to remove the threat.”
Fighter jets are striking Hezbollah targets that “posed an imminent threat to the citizens of the State of Israel,” the army says, adding that “life-saving instructions” will be sent out in some parts of the country.
Alarms are meanwhile sounding in several northern communities.
In a video statement, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says: “A short while ago, the IDF identified the Hezbollah terrorist organization preparing to fire missiles and rockets toward Israeli territory.”
The leftist hate mob was swarming after independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald J. Trump, and his actress wife Cheryl Hines soon found herself in the crosshairs.
On Friday, RFK Jr. followed through on reports that he would be joining the former president in his battle against the rabidly authoritarian Democratic Party, and much to the dismay of the Kamala Harris surrogates on social media, Hines stood by her man.

Like a pack of attack dogs, Hollywood celebrities turned their attention to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on Friday after he endorsed former President Donald Trump and blasted the Democratic party for having rigged its own primaries and undemocratically installed Kamala Harris as its nominee.
Stars including George Takei, Jeffrey Wright, Chris Meloni, Sandra Bernhard, and The West Wing‘s Bradley Whitford unleashed a torrent of vicious verbal attacks on Kennedy for having dared to cross the aisle to form an alliance with Trump.
“What a sad, broken, human being @RobertKennedyJr is,” Whitford declared.
“A broken deeply disturbed person,” Bernhard wrote.
“RFK Jr. and Donald Trump. A sorrier pair could hardly be imagined,” Takei concluded.

Again, Making It Look Like Harvard Behind
China Classes replies
Democrat vice-presidential candidate and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) was caught inflating his background and making it seem like Harvard University was behind a teaching program in China in which he participated, according to a recent report.
A report from the Washington Free Beacon found that Walz had lied about being “named the Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce,” and seemingly implying that Harvard University was behind a teaching program, and had picked Walz for “an opportunity” to teach in China through a university program. The program, WorldTeach, was founded in 1986 by several graduates from Harvard University, according to the organization’s LinkedIn page.
Training for Resident Assistants (RAs) at The University of Tampa features a scenario to help students who are triggered by a conservative roommate who has a Make America Great Again Flag displayed in their shared room.

Forget sexual assaults on campus or hordes of terrorist-loving pro-Hamas protestors making campuses unsafe. There might be a MAGA flag in someone’s room!
Back in June, Mary Sturgeon, the mother of J6 political prisoner Isaac Sturgeon, attended the Reawaken Tour in Detroit Michigan. During the event Mary spoke with Patriot AU about her son Isaac who was arrested by the Biden regime while on a hunting trip in Kenya and sent to prison in Brooklyn. Isaac was eventually found guilty by a corrupt DC judge who fell asleep during his trial. Isaac’s “crime” was standing on the steps of the steps of the US Capitol and being pushed down the steps. He never committed a crime. He never hurt anyone.
Mary describes Isaac’s sentencing by corrupt Judge Royce Lamberth:

in 2024…Don’t Know What’ replies
Democrat Party pollsters are warning that they could be in trouble, as their polling has been less reliable than usual in recent elections since former President Donald Trump’s appeal is difficult to measure via surveys.
President Joe Biden beat Trump “by a closer margin than a lot of the polling suggested” in 2020, creating an “oh, s***” moment for Democrat pollsters, according to a Politico report.
Moreover, polls suggested that Democrats would expand their House majority, but, instead, they saw it shrink, the report added.
These revelations reportedly caused five of the Democrat Party’s top polling firms, which are usually in competition with each other, to collaborate
Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) is caught up in another scandal after a brutal letter from the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce has resurfaced, uncovering another apparent lie from the VP pick.
Walz falsely claimed he was the recipient of an award from the chamber during his 2006 congressional run. In a letter, which was uncovered by Alpha News, the then-president of the group, Barry L. Kennedy, urged Walz to remove the inaccuracy.
Current Nebraska Chamber of Commerce Chris Sloan confirmed to The Daily Wire that the letter was sent by the chamber in 2006.
“We researched this matter and can confirm that you have not been the recipient of any award
The United States Navy has reportedly drafted a drastic plan in response to a growing manpower problem.
The Military Sealift Command’s “force generation reset,” informally known as “the great reset,” would see 17 Navy ships stripped of crews and moved to long-term maintenance holding.
Although the apparent plan has not been given the green light by Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti, some of the targeted ships have been tracked returning to America.
The plan lists 17 support ships with various functions and roles, the U.S. Naval Institute reported.
These constitute nearly six percent of the total active surface fleet battle force, which currently consists of 296 commissioned ships,

The Republican National Committee (RNC) is accusing Detroit, Michigan’s election commission of hiring more Democrat than Republican poll workers as the presidential election approaches.
The RNC has slapped the Election Commission of the City of Detroit with a lawsuit that alleges officials broke state law by hiring over seven times more Democrats than Republicans for those roles, Fox News reported on Friday.
The outlet continued:Michigan requires that the board of election commissioners “shall appoint an equal number, as nearly as possible, of election inspectors in each election precinct from each major political party,” according to Section 168.74 of the state’s election law.
Another day, and another example of taxpayers getting hosed while illegal immigrants get free handouts. This time, it's the Boston-area suburb of Stoughton, Massachusetts, where parents of 150 schoolchildren have been informed at the last moment that their kids won't be able to ride the bus to school. The school district has cited "a lack of funding and a shortage of buses." But is that really it?
The 150 students at Stoughton Public Schools will have to find a new way to get to school ahead of the academic year's September 4 start date, the Boston Herald first reported.

shortage, operating crews will be redistributed: report replies
The Navy will reportedly sideline 17 vessels due to a manpower shortage that makes it difficult to properly crew and operate ships across the fleet. There just aren't enough Merchant Marines to keep all the ships going at once, according to Rear Admiral (Ret.) Mark Montgomery, senior director of the Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation for the Foundation for Defense of Democracy, told Fox News Digital. Merchant Marines operate the many support vessels needed to keep the Navy running.
"The problem, of course, is the ships are at sea, away from home port 12 months of the year," Montgomery said. "So you need two crews … we're desperately short
Boy, Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn.) seems to "misrepresent" a lot of his backstory.
First, we had what looks like a textbook case of stolen valor when he ditched the Minnesota National Guard right before they deployed to Iraq and claimed to have fought in combat, as well as his rank, much to the disdain of even his former chaplain.
Then he spun a yarn about having his kids via IVF because Republicans supposedly want to ban it even though Mrs. Walz never underwent IVF treatments (and she called out her own husband on this) and puffed up his DUI arrest from 1995 to make himself look cool or something.
If you reside in one of four Massachusetts municipalities, the governing authorities are treating you to a fresh set of lockdowns on the flimsiest of pretenses. Via New York Post (emphasis added): Four Massachusetts towns — Douglas, Oxford, Sutton and Webster — have enacted a voluntary evening lockdown in an attempt to curb the spread of a potentially deadly mosquito-borne disease. The decision comes after the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) confirmed the first human case of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) since 2020 in Worcester County.
Former Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger (IL), despite his diminutive stature, found himself to be the biggest surprise guest on the final night of the Democratic National Convention.
Sure, the left was all aflutter after TMZ incorrectly reported that Beyoncé would be making an appearance, but considering the media push touting “white dudes for Harris,” they were surely thrilled beyond words to see one of their most reliable political allies up on stage instead.
Er, maybe not.
For his part, though, the former Illinois congressman seemed excited.
“You never thought you'd see me here, did you?” he asked, doing his best to stifle a grin,
Folks on the left are in the middle of some major crazy coping after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed former President Donald Trump. While there are certainly some political differences, there are also commonalities about basic freedoms and the dangers the Democrats pose to the American people. [Tweet, video]
That was a brilliant move that probably erased any bump that the Democrats might have out of the DNC. Instead, because it was such a mess, Trump got a bump in the betting markets.
You know that the RFK Jr. endorsement has the left and the anti-Trump crew just losing their minds.

The left-wing New York Times is warning Democrats that “joy” is not a political strategy that will put Vice President Kamala Harris (D) in the White House.
Following the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Patrick Healy wrote in his opinion piece that the convention’s message for the nation, if it were to be placed on a bumper sticker, would say “HARRIS IS JOY.”
Healy continued:
Don’t get me wrong — there are many worse things than joy — but I cringed a little in the convention hall Tuesday night when Bill Clinton said Harris would be “the president of joy.” Joy is the new “fetch” from “Mean Girls”
By now, it is apparent that Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential nomination was a sham, given that she secured it without a single primary vote. Although Democrats have been hush-hush on this, one Democrat let the cat out of the bag. California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) recently joked about what he was told to say about Harris’ Democratic presidential nomination.
During an interview with Pod Save American, Newsom revealed that his Democrat colleagues told him to refer to Harris’ nomination as an open, inclusive process.
Last week in this space the focus was on Time magazine’s glorification of now Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.
The point was that the then-current cover of Time - an illustration of Harris that, as noted, presented her as “a cross somewhere between Miss America and a religious icon” - was in reality an illustration of just how the “mainstream media” was thoroughly in the tank for Democrats and the Left in general, and, this election year, Harris in particular.
A week later, the New York Post is headlining another story about Time - a story that might be seen as reporting on the consequences for Time for tilting
Stew Leonard Jr., CEO of grocery chain Stew Leonard’s, debunked Kamala Harris’ claim of price gouging at grocery stores.

During an appearance on Fox Business’s “The Evening Edit,” Leonard told Elizabeth MacDonald, “I haven’t met anybody price gouging.”

Not gonna lie. This past month was a tough one for Republicans. Not that Trump or any of us did anything wrong, mind you, but because the media refuses to do its job. (Snip) Slow and steady wins the race. Despite the attempted media blackout, Trump and Vance have spent the last month steadily and consistently hammering Harris and Walz on the campaign trail. The media can only hide for so long the fact that Trump is out there, doing pressers, sitting down for hostile interviews, while Harris and the terrifyingly masculine Walz are MIA.
Two men were killed and one person was arrested after a fiery two-car crash in Harlem in which a pickup truck was driving the wrong way on the highway, police said. The driver of the pickup truck fled and was still on the loose, while his passenger was nabbed about 30 feet from the scene, cops said. The fiery, multi-vehicle crash happened on the northbound Henry Hudson near West 154th Street around 2:20 a.m., according to police.
Blades are carving up the Big Apple. Stabbings and slashings across the city this year spiked 6% to 3,582 incidents through Aug. 11, up from 3,370 during the same period time last year, according to NYPD data requested by The Post. So far this year, 60 people have died by the blade — an 11% surge from the 54 in 2023.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave an epic speech on Friday, during which he suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump.
And he destroyed the Democratic Party at the same time.
"I attended my first Democratic convention at the age of 6 in 1960, and back then, the Democrats were the champions of the Constitution, of civil rights," Kennedy said. "The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship, against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars. We were the party of labor, of the working class. (Snip) But the family at large really outdid themselves on Friday after Robert endorsed Trump, releasing a really nasty statement.
Members of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s extended family called it a “betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear” on Friday after the independent presidential candidate announced that he was endorsing former President Trump.
“We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future,” Kerry Kennedy wrote in a statement alongside four of Kennedy’s siblings. “We believe in Harris and Walz. Our brother Bobby’s decision to endorse Trump today is a betrayal of the values that our father and our family hold most dear.”
“It is a sad ending to a sad story,” they added.

(Reuters) - A U.S. government weather forecaster expects an about 60% chance of the La Nina weather pattern characterized by unusually cold temperatures in the Pacific Ocean emerging in the second half of 2024.
There is an 85% chance that a transition from El Niño to ENSO-neutral is likely to occur by April-June, National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center (CPC) said in a monthly forecast on Thursday.
"The end of El Nino would take away the vertical wind shear that tends to reduce the number of storms in the Atlantic basin. Further, warm ocean temperatures should facilitate the formation of stronger storms," Citi Research said in a note.
Oregonians have reacted angrily to a taxpayer-funded scheme that doles out $30,000 for non-legal migrants to buy homes, but excludes US citizens.

It is instead open to refugees, asylum seekers, Green Card holders, and those who arrived in the US illegally as children, the post says.
Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accepted his party’s nomination to be their candidate for vice president.

Democrats will tell you they are excited about Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.
The delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, this week kept talking about how much fun they were having and how much “joy” they were feeling. Democrats who watched the speeches on television gushed about how amazing they were.

No one is buying what Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party are selling these days.
Earlier this week, on the opening night of the demonic confab in Chicago that Democrats call their national convention, the outgoing commander-in-chief explicitly denied that he was "angry at all those people" who said he should "step down" following his catastrophic faceplant at the June presidential debate. There is not a single soul who actually believes this. For weeks following the debate, while the corporate media and Democrat elites circled like piranhas, the White House defiantly stood its ground and insisted it wasn't going anywhere.

Three prominent Republicans praised the promise of victory Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Donald Trump gives for the 2024 election and for free speech in exclusive comments to PJ Media. (Snip) Kennedy’s call for unity between his supporters and Republicans is especially important after the vitriol and death cult insanity of the just-ended Democratic National Convention, where the two major focuses seemed to be hating Trump and killing unborn babies.
The Democrats assume that constantly casting Trump as Hitler is all that’s needed to win the election. The central argument at their convention, spoken and implied ad nauseam, was: Anyone with a pulse is going to beat Evil Orange Man. So outlining policies and engaging with the press are therefore unnecessary risks to avoid. Don’t spoil the makeover of the empty pantsuit. Defeating the evil dictator is the only thing everyone needs to concentrate on.
