Fascinating details and analysis! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pagercide, Inc: How Israel Defenestrated Hezbollah Did Israel intercept pagers bought by Hezbollah? Did they hack into them remotely, using their technological supremacy? Nope. Turns out that Israel went into the pager business -- anticipating Hezbollah's change in comms strategy by perhaps as much as two years.

Incompetence, maybe, but it does smell as though someone at the USSS has ulterior motives. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We Have Alarming Whistleblower Details on the Second Assassination Attempt on Trump Hawley emphasized again that the Secret Service has guarded Trump's golf course many times before and knew where the vulnerabilities were. "They normally station agents there ahead of Trump's appearance on the course, but they apparently did not do that this last weekend," Hawley continued. "And the whistleblowers tell me that's strange, that's out of protocol. It's not even clear Secret Service swept the perimeter before Trump took to the course—also a [...] breach [of] protocol—and they want to know why, and so do I."

This could have gone in several other threads, too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Biden-Harris Regime Accused of Trying to Hide Number of Terrorists Crossing the Border The Harris campaign is busy trying to ensure that people don't notice just how vacuous the Candidate of Joy really is. At the same time and for the same reason, Biden-Harris regime apparatchiks are doing all they can to keep Americans from realizing just how much damage this administration has done to the country over the last three and a half years. That initiative includes covering up the effects of erasing what was once known as our Southern border. Now, however, a whistleblower has come forward with some stinging accusations regarding just how self-serving and irresponsible — and worse — the regime has been. Northern Virginia's ABC 7 News reported Thursday that "a former Border Patrol chief agent on Wednesday accused the Biden-Harris administration of trying to hide an increase in the number of people with ties to terrorism at California's border with Mexico." https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2024/09/19/biden-harris-regime-accused-of-trying-to-hide-number-of-terrorists-crossing-the-border-n4932671

This is wonderful, and it gives us fodder for retorts to the mindless. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shirtless Trump Supporter Takes Down CNN Reporter in Epic Fashion CNN sent a reporter down to Panama City, Fla., to cover the MAGA boat parade on Thursday. Reporter Elle Reeve talked about the issues parade-goers were concerned with in this election, and one shirtless Trump supporter gave Reeve an epic reality check about the struggles Americans face under the Biden-Harris administration. When Reeve asked, "What's your most important issue?" the shirtless Trump supporter, drink in hand, didn't hesitate.

Of All the Reasons the Left Has Given Us to Vote for Kamala, This Has to Be the Craziest Of all the cockamamie reasons the left has given us for why we simply must install Kamala Harris in the Oval Office, retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Steven Anderson has given us one of the craziest. Anderson, however, is crazy like a fox: while trying to give the impression that he was making a case for why Harris would be a better president for international relations than Bad Orange Man, the wily old general was actually speaking to Harris' domestic base, trying to make sure that it stays on the reservation. Could that be an indication that everyone in the Harris camp is not as confident of victory as the establishment media makes out? It could be, but whether it is or not, Anderson still gave us one of the most ridiculous arguments for voting for Harris that has been advanced thus far.

WHOA: Even MSNBC Just Admitted the Biden-Harris Economy Is in Trouble While "at first glance, the U.S. economy, appears to be doing 'basically fine,' as Fed Chair Jerome Powell put it in his press conference earlier this week," MSNBC's Helaine Olen wrote on Thursday, "under the surface, signs of trouble are increasing." Well, yeah. As the ZeroHedge guys put it on Wednesday, "The economy is so great, it needs a crisis-level rate cut 2 months before the election." (The Fed usually makes quarter-point adjustments except when the waste matter has collided with the rotating air-flow acceleration device.) So last week when I suggested you "Kiss Your Giant Rate Cut Goodbye," I guess I was staring into a less deep abyss than Powell was this week. Anyway, I was about to ask Olen what took her so long to notice, but because MSNBC chose to run an article that dares to question the "Greatest Economy in History, We Promise," why don't we cut them both some slack? Particularly because Olen caught a few negative trends that hadn't yet come across my desk.

You mean "dnetsits."

As others have stated, the consulate evaluates whether your relationship is bona fide (solid, real). Substantial time spent together in person, over multiple visits, will help to overcome their suspicions.

Migrant Steals Occupational Injury From Hard-Working American ATHENS, OH—A Mexican migrant reportedly stole an occupational injury Wednesday from a hardworking American, seizing the opportunity for a broken arm from a resident who grew up in this country. "I could have been the one out there fracturing my ulna and radius after falling off a truck during a nonunion contract gig, but that's not the way things are here anymore," said unemployed citizen Graham Toomy, 45, telling reporters [...] https://theonion.com/migrant-steals-occupational-injury-from-hard-working-american/

Trent Colson explained that he had arrived at the park to meet his wife and kids, only to find his wife's car on fire in the parking lot, prompting him to rush to make sure she and the couple's children were safe and find out what had happened.

Trump Dodges Falling Piano, Swinging Death Blade, Spiked Pitfall Trap On Way To Rally LONG ISLAND, NY — The tension of election season reached a new high today with conflicting reports of further attempts on the life of the former president, as Donald Trump dodged a falling piano, a swinging death blade, and a spiked pitfall trap on his way to a campaign rally. The latest series of deadly traps matched what has become a disturbing pattern along Trump's pathway to election day, with experts speculating that the former president may find himself dodging multiple assassination attempts per day over the next several weeks. "It's almost as if there's some unseen force out to get him," said one campaign insider.

~~~~~ Hezbollah Starting To Think They Shouldn't Have Gotten Pagers From Levi Goldbraumstein's Pager Emporium [...] "We probably should have seen this coming," said Hezbollah's Lead Purchasing Terrorist Adnan Musab Vaziri. "When I was given orders to procure a large quantity of pagers, I took it upon myself to find the best deal I could. In hindsight, the discount I was able to receive from Levi Goldbraumstein's Pager Emporium may not have been the best move."

~~~~~~ BREAKING: Israel Kills Thousands More Terrorists With Exploding '200 Free Hours of AOL' CDs LEBANON — Video footage of several explosions flooded social media Wednesday as thousands more Hezbollah terrorists were killed by exploding CDs promising 200 free hours of America Online.

Venezuela is an America First Priority After four years of the Biden/Harris administration's feeble foreign policy, the redefining of the United States' redlines should begin in our own backyard: Latin America and the Caribbean. After all, the value of renovating one's house is limited if the neighborhood is in shambles. To create a healthy neighborhood, it helps if neighbors share similar values, such as democracy, fair elections, and civil liberties. Fortunately, many of America's neighboring nations do. But there is one country whose owner is ruining the neighborhood, even though its people do value those ideals: Venezuela.

This article is good, but worth it purely for the included photo! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tiny Israel flips the tables of warfare itself on the terrorists of Hezb'allah Today's second wave of electronic bombings on Hezb'allah members in Lebanon, apparently by Israel, has got to have the Iran-backed terrorists freaking out. Yesterday, some 3,000 terrorists got their Hezb'allah-approved pagers detonated on them at once, killing a few and leaving a lot with blown off hands, eyes, or private parts. At least one of them got it on the toilet: [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/09/tiny_israel_flips_the_tables_of_warfare_itself_on_the_terrorists_of_hezb_allah.html

Interesting additional facts and analysis.
