Yahya Sinwar's killing has left Hamas in disarray Almost exactly a year after Hamas's horrific attack on Israel, its leader Yahya Sinwar has been killed. This is not the end of Hamas, but it does offer Israel an opportunity to destabilise and fragment the group, similar to what Israel has done to Hezbollah — to cut the Islamists down to a more manageable size and bring the war to a conclusion on terms reasonably close to victory. As I wrote in these pages a couple of months ago, it is not quite right to [...] https://unherd.com/newsroom/yahya-sinwars-death-has-left-hamas-in-disarray/

Sobering. ~~~~~~~~~ If Kamala Harris Wins Sometimes "What if?" questions are merely counterfactual academic exercises. Sometimes, however, they are existential conundrums. The question, "What if Kamala Harris wins the 2024 presidential election?" belongs firmly in the latter category. As I have noted elsewhere, I believe Donald Trump will not only win, but win resoundingly. All the same, the huge influx of illegal immigrants, strategically managed by Biden and Harris to be maximally advantageous, combined with the disastrous state of our voter rolls, might mean even if Trump wins, he doesn't end up in the Oval Office. So: what if? Imagine you are a mini-Rip Van Winkle. You sink into a deep slumber on November 4 and do not awaken until, say, December 2026. You won't have missed the original American Revolution, as the first Rip did. But you will have missed another revolution that undid many aspects of the first.

This first-person account brims with urgency. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Colorado home became a Tren de Aragua war zone — yours could be next I never thought that I would fear for my life in my own home until it happened this year. In 2023, I began to notice significant changes in my apartment complex in Aurora, Colo., less than 20 miles from the sanctuary city of Denver. Local media have since reported that officials began busing illegal Venezuelan migrants into the area in December 2022 — but no one told us. Members of Tren de Aragua — a vicious Venezuelan prison gang that has brought sex trafficking and violent crime into communities across our country — began patrolling my apartment building with guns, beating down doors and demanding keys from my neighbors.

Or chimp orthodontist, unless one is proficient with the Simian Gap. Most of us need to go to Florida to a certain expert.

This even larger question has been answered "no" -- leftists have been determined to be generally unhappy people. Several such stories over past months and years.

Another good article. May he enjoy his 72 virgins as much as we enjoy his trip to Paradise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For a year the IDF hunted Sinwar in tunnels – then troops ran into him by chance After a year hunting its most wanted target in Hamas's tunnels beneath Gaza, it appears Israel claimed its quarry during a chance encounter in the ruined streets of the coastal strip. When Israeli troops saw Hamas fighters enter a building in Rafah, they had no reason to suspect one of them was their country's most wanted man. For months, a specialist elite taskforce had been seeking the terrorist leader behind the Oct 7 attacks and he was widely thought to be hidden deep beneath the ground. The troops called for a tank to fire into the building, causing much of it to collapse, Israel's Channel 12 reported. It was only when afterwards soldiers found three bodies in the rubble, that they were struck by how familiar one dead man seemed. The dead middle-aged man, wearing a military-style vest and lying half submerged beneath debris with the front of his head smashed in, had a familiar looking mole next to his left eye, troops noticed. Troops entering the building decided he looked "very much like" Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader considered the architect of last year's Oct 7 attack against Israel. Prising open his lips with a piece of wood, troops also believed that his worn and chipped teeth matched photos of the Hamas leader's mouth.

You dodged a bullet in that she didn't understand or stick around for Adjustment. If your new relationship progresses, make sure that she knows all about the scam situation. The Bogota consulate might ask her for details about it, at the eventual visa interview.

'Oops, We Meant To Say UP,' Explains FBI After Months Of Saying Crime Is Down WASHINGTON, D.C. — FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress Wednesday, confirming what many have known for months: the crime rate is not down, it's up.

ABC News Argues 9/11 Overblown As It Was 'Only A Handful Of Buildings' U.S. — In a tense exchange with Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance, ABC news anchor Martha Raddatz argued that the tragedy of September 11th had been way overblown since it only involved a handful of buildings. "They only hit three buildings, and you're calling this a major issue?" asked Raddatz, incredulous. "You realize I can literally count on one hand how many planes were hijacked. Stop making 9/11 out to be such a big deal." [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/abc-news-argues-911-overblown-as-it-was-only-a-handful-of-buildings

Iron Dome Jew vs. Beeper Jew In a searing short video, Tom Trento of the United West highlights the bloodthirsty, perverted, and bestial actions of Hamas which led to the October 7, 2023 Holocaust in Israel. In the video, Rabbi Aryeh Lightstone speaks of "the Iron Dome Jew who spends a lot of time trying to figure out how not to get hit versus the Beeper Jew who figures out how nobody can hit [him or her] ever again." Clearly during the massacre of October 7th, the Iron Dome approach failed. It has become increasingly clear that the only way to stop Hamas is to totally and irrevocably destroy it. Israel is doing the world's job by cutting off the head of the snake. The words of Prime Minister Menachem Begin to Senator Joe Biden in 1982 reveal the need for utter devotion to this goal.

Another dumb article by inferior humans. We'd rather fling it than eat it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scientists discover concerning behavioral changes in chimps: 'Could something so small have prevented the pandemic?' Scientists have found that chimpanzees are turning to bat feces for nutrients in concentrated areas of deforestation, which could have implications for human epidemics, reports Mongabay. What's happening? In the Budongo Forest in Uganda, animals — including chimpanzees, monkeys, and antelope — rely on minerals from decaying palm trees, per the report. However, between 2006 and 2012, these trees were excessively cut down to use as strings for tobacco leaves to dry on. Because chimpanzees crave sodium, they turn to other means to get it, including chewing on cement bricks. According to a new study published in Communications Biology, some animals have made changes to their diet to include the guano, or animal droppings, of bats. The study found 839 instances of three species feeding on bat guano from July 2017 to October 2017 and from September 2018 to April 2019. This behavior had reportedly never been documented among forest-dwelling mammals before. [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/scientists-discover-concerning-behavioral-changes-103051365.html

No BLM members were around at the time, apparently.

Ooo -- that's some article. I hadn't heard of it in San Antonio, but it's unsurprising. They'll have some success but will also be dealt with more aggressively, I bet.

Indeed. Fulfill the requirement in timely fashion, then plan the big shindig at your leisure.

Again, time together and familiarity (the unknown becoming known) should prove the ticket in most cases. Time heals all wounds. In addition, time wounds all heels.
