Wallison: The case for an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities

By Peter J Wallison | Commentary, peterjwallison.substack.com Most of the discussion about how Israel should respond to the latest Iranian missile attack fails to consider that Iran is not an ordinary aggressor country, driven by a desire to dominate its neighbors or its region. Instead, Iran is a “theocratic republic,” headed by a Shi’ite religious figure, appointed for life, who makes all important governmental decisions. As such, the country cannot be appeased by any Israeli effort to reach an accommodation; Iran’s hostility to the very existence of Israel is fundamental to its current system of government.   This is demonstrated by Iran’s continuing support of Hezbollah’s presence in Lebanon—a hostile army right on Israel’s border—with an estimated 100,000 missi...

Americans seek resolute solution to end cartels

By MIG Reports Public sentiment on cartel-related issues in the United States is negative. As Americans grapple with the rising impact of cartel activities, including drug and human trafficking and gang activity, there is increasing tension between those advocating for a strong executive approach and those who still value traditional governance with checks and balances. This analysis explores American sentiments regarding which form of leadership people see as most effective in addressing the perceived threats. Analysis also looks at how language—particularly the contrast between first-person and third-person usage—reflects the depth of personal investment in the problem and the expectation for leadership to deliver solutions. MIG Reports data shows: 70% of Americans want a st...

‘This will be the last election’ if VP Kamala Harris wins the presidency: Elon Musk

By Tristan Justice | The Federalist Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk warned Pennsylvania voters Saturday ‘this will be the last election’ if Vice President Kamala Harris wins in November. “I have one ask for everyone in the audience,” Musk said, addressing both the crowd and the cameras that livestreamed the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “Register to vote, and get everyone you know and everyone you don’t know. Drag them to register to vote.” “There’s only two days left to register in both Georgia and Arizona,” Musk added. “And then make sure they actually do vote. If they don’t, this will be the last election. That’s my prediction.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST Click Here

Supreme Court declines Biden administration appeal in Texas emergency abortion case

By Politico via the Associated Press The Supreme Court on Monday let stand a decision barring emergency abortions that violate the law in Texas, which has one of the country’s strictest abortion bans. Without detailing their reasoning, the justices kept in place a lower court order that said hospitals cannot be required to provide pregnancy terminations that would violate Texas law. There were no publicly noted dissents. The Biden administration had asked the justices to throw out the lower court order, arguing that hospitals have to perform abortions in emergency situations under federal law. The administration pointed to the Supreme Court’s action in a similar case from Idaho earlier this year in which the justices narrowly allowed emergency abortions to resume wh...

‘Swing State’ election officials were ready for almost anything. Just not this.

By John Sakellariadis, Liz Crampton and Jessica Piper | Politico The Category 4 hurricane that ripped through the eastern seaboard is scrambling election preparations in some of the country’s top battlegrounds — adding to the troubles of administering the vote amid conspiracy theories and toxic partisan divides. The swing states of Georgia and North Carolina were among the most heavily affected by Hurricane Helene, which flooded towns, destroyed buildings, took out power and cell service and forced widespread road closures, with a death toll that has already ticked above 200. The upturning of everyday life has also introduced unanticipated disruptions into the nuts-and-bolts of running a high-stakes presidential election. Now, election officials are racing to ensure storm-batter...

Harris to discuss abortion on popular podcast ‘Call Her Daddy,’ but fans call it propaganda

By Richard Pollina | New York Post “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper enraged some of her fans over the weekend by dropping a surprise interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on her wildly popular podcast.

Tropical Storm Milton hits hurricane force as it bears down on Florida with mass evacuations predicted

By Simon Kent | Breitbart Storm Milton strengthened from a major tropical disturbance into a Category 3 hurricane early on Monday morning, increasing the threat to Florida’s west coast, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in a special alert. The state is now gearing up for what could be its biggest mass evacuation in seven years as the rain-sodden behemoth heads toward major population centers including Tampa and Orlando. “While it is too soon to specify the exact magnitude and location of the greatest impacts, there is an increasing risk of life-threatening storm surge and damaging winds for portions of the west coast of the Florida Peninsula beginning Tuesday night or early Wednesday,” the NHC said in a forecast discussion. The NHC also warned of “5 to 8 inches” of rainf...

Takeaways from AP’s report on affordable housing disappearing across the U.S.

By JESSE BEDAYN and ARUSHI GUPTA  | Fox 31 via the AP While Americans continue to struggle under unrelentingly high rents, as many as 223,000 affordable housing units across the U.S. could disappear in the next five years alone. It leaves low-income tenants facing protracted eviction battles, scrambling to pay a two-fold rent increase or more, or shunted back into a housing market where costs can easily eat half a paycheck. Those affordable housing units were built with the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, or LIHTC, a federal program launched in 1987 that provides tax credits to developers in exchange for keeping rents low. It has pumped out 3.6 million units nationwide, and its expansion is now central to Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ housing plan to build 3 m...

‘This thing is a long way from decided’: Carville predicts one candidate will carry swing states

By Zach LaChance | Washington Examiner Democratic strategist James Carville predicted that the swing states in the 2024 election will nearly all go to one candidate, rather than either former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly winning the majority of them. Speaking on CNN, Carville was asked, “If it’s the economy, stupid,” why Harris isn’t ahead in the presidential race after recent positive economic news, including declining inflation and a stronger-than-expected jobs report. “You know, she’s slightly ahead. It’s not the election. These things tend to break one way or the other at the end. There’s seven swing states. The least likely result is they break 4-3. But I can’t stop the commentariat from saying it’s going to be ...
