Family eulogizes murdered hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin as thousands mourn in Jerusalem

By Olivia Land | New York Post The heartbroken family of slain Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin paid tribute to their bright, “beautiful” son and brother at his packed funeral service in Jerusalem. “Hersh, we all failed you. You would not have failed you. You would have pushed harder to justice,” Jon Polin addressed the late 23-year-old during his address at the Givat Shaul cemetery. Polin evoked his son’s spirit with a Torah verse that called on one to find a close teacher and counselor, and to give all people the benefit of the doubt. READ MORE AT THE NEW YORK POST

Biden resumes immigration program that was suspended over fraud concerns

By Matthew Impelli | Newsweek President Joe Biden's administration is set to resume an immigration program that was previously suspended due to fraud concerns. On Thursday, the Biden administration announced that it was resuming an immigration program that permits migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the United States. The program was previously suspended over fraud concerns, but the announcement today that the updated program will include "additional vetting" of their U.S.-based financial sponsors. "Together with our existing rigorous vetting of potential beneficiaries seeking to travel to the United States, these new procedures for supporters have strengthened the integrity of these processes and will help protect against exploitation of beneficiaries,...

Who is running the country? Biden spotted lounging on the beach for a second straight week

By Heather Hunter | Washington Examiner President Joe Biden was seen lounging in a beach chair under an umbrella again on Wednesday while enjoying Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Biden has been criticized for his long stretches of vacations along with a minimal work schedule as president since mid-July. The president has held a low-key presidential schedule since he tested positive for COVID-19 in July, following his announcement of withdrawing from the 2024 presidential election and endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as front-runner for the Democratic Party ticket.

Workers on Labor Day say inflation ‘erasing’ American dream, snuffing out hard work

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner People are depressed about the economy going into Labor Day and the final election push, believing that inflation under the Biden-Harris administration has erased their dreams. In a couple of new surveys, respondents said that the dream of buying a house has been snuffed out by rising prices and that most of their daily hard work has been eaten away by inflation. A WalletHub survey provided to Secrets on Wednesday said, “74% of people think inflation is erasing their hard work.” While most believe that they are doing better than Labor Day 2023, they apparently also feel that they are moving backward and working harder.

Biden-Harris Administration uses little-known hiring mechanism to staff key DOJ divisions

By Robert Schmad | Daily Caller The Biden-Harris administration has deployed a little-known hiring mechanism to staff key divisions of the Department of Justice (DOJ) ahead of the 2024 election, according to documents provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation by Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT). Hundreds of people, primarily lawyers and judges, have been appointed to the Environmental and Natural Resources (ENRD) and Antitrust and Immigration Review divisions of the DOJ using its “Schedule A” hiring authority since President Joe Biden took office, documents shared with the DCNF by PPT show. Schedule A hiring does not require appointments to be made on the basis of merit and appointments do not expire at the end of the current president’s term, meaning these bureaucrats will stick ...

Three years after withdrawal, Taliban rules Afghanistan

By CASEY HARPER | Center Square This week will mark the three-year anniversary of President Joe Biden’s chaotic and deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Biden committed on the campaign trail to withdraw U.S. troops, a move supported by his predecessor Donald Trump, but the process left 13 U.S. service members killed and the country within the hands of the Taliban. The Taliban also received billions of dollars in U.S. military equipment because it was left behind. READ MORE AT CENTER SQUARE

Kilpper: From vasectomy vans to hotties for Harris, The DNC was truly a freak show

By Gage Kilpper, Commentary | Daily Caller Throughout the Democratic National Convention, Democrats made a big show out of being “normal,” of standing for “freedom” and traditional, patriotic values. They did their best, but of course it is all a lie; there’s nothing normal about them. Allow me to guide you through the Democrats’ wondrous world of human freaks and oddities. But first, we must get inside! Careful, this is a dangerous path. Stay alert as we wade through the crowds of unwashed protesters — rabid, the lot of them. Feast your eyes on a veritable buffet of causes. Do you want to see the destruction of Israel? Care to donate to Hamas? Perhaps trans rights are more your speed. Or, think bigger: the true idealists here want global intifada or worldwide communist revolut...

Barone: The college graduates’ party’s candidate doesn’t know economic history

By Michael Barone, Commentary | Town Hall Learning isn't necessarily cumulative. Human experience over the centuries provides lessons, some clearer than others. But each generation has to learn lessons anew, and some do not. The lessons about economic growth taught over the long run of history are clear. Growth is not inevitable, and while riches may be accumulated, or appropriated, by the few in high positions, the lives of the very large majority throughout the centuries have been nasty, brutish and short. The exception, the Great Enrichment, began some three centuries ago, around the North Sea, in the Dutch Republic and England, according to economic historian Deirdre McCloskey, in societies when people began respecting and encouraging commerce, rather than resenting and scorni...

US to send $125 million in new military aid to Ukraine, officials say

By Lolita C. Baldor and Matthew Lee | Military.com The Biden administration will send about $125 million in new military aid to Ukraine, U.S. officials said Thursday, even as Washington works to get a better understanding of Kyiv’s incursion into Russia and how it advances the broader battlefield goals more than two years into the war. U.S. officials said the latest package of aid includes air defense missiles, munitions for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), Javelins and an array of other antiarmor missiles, counter-drone and counter-electronic warfare systems and equipment, 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition, vehicles and other equipment.
