HOMETOWN HERO:

And now, the most Israeli story ever: the man who neutralized the terrorist in Jaffa is the chair of Israel’s “Burning Man”, Midburn, who happened to be in the area (he’s also a Nova survivor).

Israelis never had anything like America’s gun culture before Oct. 7 but that’s changing.

DON SURBER: Israel’s ceasefire plan: Blow terrorists up and they stop fighting. The best way to end a war is to win it, and winning generally means killing the enemy until they quit.

But not everyone is happy: “Communists and Nazis are sad because Israel lives.”

MY LATEST NEW YORK POST COLUMN: Adams is just the latest pol caught at the trough in the United States of Global Graft. “Mayor Adams’ corruption indictment involving the government of Turkey seems like weak tea compared to other recent scandals. But it also indicates just how intertwined America’s ruling class has become with foreign governments — and foreign money. Adams isn’t even the tip of the iceberg: He’s more like one of the little frozen chunks floating around it.”

CDR SALAMANDER HAS A THEORY:

What can help explain the apparent federal level indifference to the nightmare brought from Florida’s Big Bend up to Appalachia from hurricane Helene?

I have a theory, and it has to do with Idaho that I think
@ComfortablySmug
would appreciate.

Let me take you back to season 5, episode 1 of Veep.

I looked for a video of the scene, but can’t find it.

So, I’ll quote the script:

“- KENT: Also, ma’am, catastrophically mudslides in Idaho. The governor is requesting a federal state of emergency.
….
– MEYER: How much did we lose Idaho by?

– KENT: Shellacked. Uh, well over 212,000 votes.

– MEYER: Then I declare a state of go f^ck yourself. I’m not spending money to scrape mud off a bunch of dirt roads.”

Ahem.

What are the polling averages for the states most damaged by Helene?

-FL: Trump +5.0 (NYT average)
-GA: Trump +1.0 (NYT average)
-NC: Trump +0.1 (NYT average)

Trump is so far ahead in SC and TN that no one is bothering to take polls.

You would think GA & NC would cause concern, but perhaps their internal polls tell the Harris campaign they’re already lost.

IDK… but the snark from the left to those trying to recover from Helene, and knowing who is on the Harris campaign team… the Veep explanation is as good as any other I have heard of.

Or the Harris-Walz camp thinks they have it so in the bag that they can openly sneer at those mouth-breathing flyover-country MAGA types who just got what they deserved.

But I much prefer Sal’s theory.

MUST-READ ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Independent journalist Matt Taibbi’s speech to the “Rescue the Republic” gathering in the nation’s capital is a stirring call to protect every American’s God-given right to disagree openly and loudly with Officialdom’s accepted opinion.

It’s a lengthy oration but well worth your time in reading as it is full of wisdom about history, raw truths about the people who think they have a divine right to tell the rest of us what to think and say, and, most important, a heaping helping of good ole American orneriness. God Bless Matt Taibbi.

ONLY NOW SHARING THE POST I DO EVERY SUNDAY TO PROMOTE INDIE AUTHORS:  Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

Mostly because I was playing planes and more planes and yet more planes for thirty some hours, then collapsed.  My parents are doing well, thank you. Compared to the media here our media ARE right wing. I’ve been told I can’t throw things at parents’ tv, to include shoes, small kids, husband. This is going to make the visit very hard.

Posting will be erratic and sometimes at the wrong time till the 15th or so.

THE BEACONS ARE LIT, ELON CALLS FOR MEMES:  MSNBC: Kamala Harris Has to Address Communist Memes.

THEY CAN FRAUD ELECTIONS.  THEY CAN’T FRAUD WALLETS:  Netflix Cancellations Skyrocketed After Founder Donated, Endorsed Harris.

BEHOLD! MY SHOCKED FACE:  Biden-Harris Bureaucrats Hindering Effective Helene Response.

THE BULK OF HOUSEHOLDS FOR HARRIS ARE EITHER VERY DRUNK SINGLE WOMEN OR DEAD:  CNN Data Analyst Sounds Alarm for Harris Campaign About Low Support From Union Households.

ABSOLUTELY:  Iran Nuclear Program Should Be Israel’s Target After Missile Attack.

LISTEN TO THE MAN:  I was born in Lebanon and was displaced by the terrorists. I have been an American citizen for a long time now.

ALL INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES ARE VERY SOPHISTICATED BOMBS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS:  Saltwater is making electric cars BLOW UP as Hurricane Helene wreaks havoc and drivers issued harsh warning.

THIS ARTICLE BY WOULD BE UK TORY LEADER KEMI BRADENOCH IS CAUSING MUCH DISTRESS AMONG ALL “RIGHT THINKING” PEOPLE:  Migrants who come to Britain must uphold its traditions, not change them.

Culture is more than cuisine or clothes. It’s also customs which may be at odds with British values. We cannot be naïve and assume immigrants will automatically abandon ancestral ethnichostilities at the border, or that all cultures are equally valid. They are not. I am struck for example, by the number of recent immigrants to the UK who hate Israel. That sentiment has no place here.

Read the whole thing!

THIS IS INTERESTING, BUT I THINK IT FAILS TO EXPLAIN WHY JAPAN AND S KOREA STILL BUILD SO MANY SHIPS WHEN THEY ARE NO LONGER PARTICULARLY CHEAP LOCATIONS:   Why Can’t the U.S. Build Ships?

NO. NO IT’S NOT:  Is It Time to Torch the Constitution?

But if you think it is, you’re either an history retard or a wanna be tyrant. Or both.

THAT IS INDEED A VALID POINT:  More Likely to Get Results Than DeWine.
