The year-old Israeli-Hamas war is, we are told, spreading across the region. Following Israel’s bizarre “pager attack” last month the IDF have “shifted focus” to Lebanon. Two days ago an Israeli strike on Beirut is said to have levelled six buildings and “wiped out” the entirety of Hezbollah’s leadership. Yesterday, Iran responded by firing “hypersonic” missiles at Tel Aviv that either breached the Iron Dome missile defense system or did NOT breach it depending on who you ask. Today, Israeli troops are reportedly crossing into Lebanon to fight on the ground. Iran is expected to continue to respond. Reports claim over a million Lebanese – around one fifth of the entire population – have fled their homes due to Israeli bombing. A very large number indeed.
Social media is abuzz with reports that the Biden regime is working against the people of Appalachia when it comes to victims of Hurricane Helene receiving donations and supplies for recovery. An individual named Alicia Schubert told a story on Facebook about how the aid that recently arrived from the Red Cross and FEMA was confiscated by the Biden regime, preventing it from being distributed to people in need. "Starting with Davy Crockett High School, they are taking over all volunteer schools in Washington County and Greene County," Schubert claimed in a post about the situation in eastern Tennessee.

Americans from Florida to North Carolina continue to deal with the devastating consequences of Hurricane Helene, now the deadliest hurricane to hit the US since Katrina. The stories emerging from the region are heart breaking. The economic damage to property and the infrastructure will take years to recover from. Large parts of the area will never return to what they were. Many Americans may be unaware of the extent of the damage. Unlike Hurricane Katrina, which received non-stop coverage on cable news for weeks, with primetime anchors like Anderson Cooper visiting on location covering stories of human tragedy and government incompetence, Helene’s aftermath has received far less coverage. It is on social media platforms like X where folks will find horrifying stories of the stench of death still strong in difficult to reach areas, the lack of government assistance for those in need, and the courage of private efforts serving the area.
FORT COVINGTON, NY - A homeowner in upstate New York described the influx of immigrants illegally crossing into the United States by way of his backyard as "unbelievable," adding that his trail camera set up on his property has captured the men, women, and children coming over from Canada. According to 7 News, the homeowner, Chris Oliver, said that border patrol has its own trail camera picking up the same thing as his trail camera. He said, "Generally, the border patrol is here pretty quick; they're within three, four minutes. Sometimes they're right at the end of the driveway." The driveway is an unpaved road where Oliver's home sits and the cornfield across the way is Canada.
Netflix saw the largest-ever number of subscription cancellations in a single day this past week after cofounder and CEO Reed Hastings came out in support of Kamala Harris for president. According to reports, Hastings is so thrilled with the idea of Kamala cackling her way into the White House that he donated a whopping $7 million to her already over-bloated war chest. On July 23, Hastings went on X to publicly announce how much he loves Kamala. This prompted the worst business day ever for Netflix, which lost 2.8 percent of its subscriber based in July alone.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill into law on Thursday that bars local governments from enacting laws to require residents to show a valid form of identification in order to vote. The law is a direct response to a ballot initiative approved by voters in the coastal California city of Huntington Beach. In March, 53.4% of residents voted to adopt a ballot measure that requires all residents who want to cast a ballot in municipal elections to show a valid ID. But the measure runs afoul of state law and, after it passed, California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) and Secretary of State Shirley Weber (D) sued the city to block officials from enforcing it.
The US media defines an ‘October surprise’, a term coined by Reagan campaign manager William Casey in 1980, as a game-changing event ahead of Election Day. But can a bombshell really mean victory for one candidate? What are the most famous October surprises? • Founding Fathers' dirty campaign: The first dates back to aggressive smear campaigns between then-president John Adams and his rival and former vice-president Thomas Jefferson in 1800. Political pamphleteer and journalist James Callender, allegedly hired by Jefferson, launched a print campaign against Adams before the election, tipping the balance.
US Congressman Paul Gosar told Sputnik that the Biden administration's response to hurricane recovery efforts in the United States appears non-existent and a result of mismanaging funds. Hurricane Helene severely impacted several US states, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, killing more than 200 people to date, media reported. US Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned on Wednesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) does not have enough funds to make it through the rest of the current hurricane season.

PURE INTIMIDATION TACTICS "According to the whistleblower who attended the security briefing, the purpose of his deployment is to make sure Trump voters don't 'get out of line,'" says AZ state Rep. Alexander Kolodin (R). PURE INTIMIDATION TACTICS An FBI whistleblower has come forward warning that the Bureau plans to deploy plainclothes FBI agents to polling stations in Maricopa County, Arizona, to monitor Trump voters. Arizona State Rep. Alexander Kolodin (R) sent a letter Thursday to FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding an explanation for the whistleblower’s claims that the deployment of plainclothes agents is meant to ensure Trump voters don’t “get out of line,” a move that could possibly lead to widespread voter suppression. “My office has recently received a report that the FBI will be stationing plain-clothed agents in polling stations throughout Maricopa County. According to the whistleblower who attended the security briefing, the purpose of his deployment is to make sure Trump voters don’t ‘get out of line,'” Kolodin wrote.

On his podcast @davidaxelrod says Democrat voters in Asheville, North Carolina are smarter, wealthier and will still show up to vote for Kamala while he thinks Trump voters won’t. This is why Kamala and Biden aren’t helping, they benefit from the disaster: pic.twitter.com/CqCAY0An74

Democrat strategist and former Obama adviser David Axelrod admitted the devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene would likely hurt Trump more than Harris at the ballot box, noting that the hardest-hit regions lean more Republican. “Here’s my question about North Carolina, you had these killer storms, which by the way was a third big story this week. And, there’s a lot of displacement in western North Carolina. Now, Asheville is a blue dot,” he said Friday on his podcast Hacks on Tap, adding that those residents are mostly “upscale, kind of liberal voters” who would “figure out a way to vote.”

Dozens of illegal aliens were apprehended during two human smuggling operations involving tractor-trailers in New Mexico this week, authorities say. U.S. Border Patrol’s El Paso Sector Chief Anthony Good announced the busts just hours apart, sharing photographs of 36 predominantly male illegal migrants who were being transported in big rigs. “Lordsburg BP Agents disrupted a semi-truck smuggling scheme apprehending 19 migrants. Thank you Agents for staying vigilant!” Chief Good wrote in a post on X on Thursday. https://x.com/USBPChiefEPT/status/1842254018224980173
Numerous reports are coming in for several days saying that Agents or Employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are deliberately blocking food and water donations to victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. | It has allegedly gotten so bad, that some volunteers, including Helicopter pilots who have been flying-in to rescue victims around Ashville, NC, have allegedly been threatened with being ARRESTED if they continue trying to help! According to one helicopter pilot, he was told that his activities were "interfering with government" and that only "approved Vendors" can be in the disaster area or provide assistance to victims!

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) checks the background of illegal aliens they have in custody. But, the administration’s letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) shows that as of July 21, 2024, ICE let 435,719 convicted criminals and 226,847 people with pending criminal charges in their home countries into the U.S. Of those cleared by ICE, 13,099 have convictions for homicide, and another 1,845 were facing criminal charges. Some 9,461 have convictions for sex offenses (not including assault or commercialized sex), and 2,659 face pending charges. The convictions include other crimes such as assault (62,231), robbery (10,031), sexual assault (15,811), weapons offenses (13,423), and dangerous drugs (56,533).
The second assassination attempt on the life of Donald Trump in the past two months is already being memory-holed by the mainstream media. Who’s to blame for the second attempt? Beyond the obvious implications for society as a whole, the latest attempt will have major ramifications for markets and investors. That’s because the economic and regulatory policies of the two candidates — Trump and Harris — could not be more different. Trump wants lower taxes, less regulation, high tariffs to create high-paying U.S. jobs (a policy first advocated by Alexander Hamilton and later expanded by Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln), an end to wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, a strong national defense and reforms to the FBI and the intelligence community (IC). Harris wants higher taxes (including much higher capital gains taxes on stock profits), more regulations, open borders (which lowers average wages), a depleted defense posture, permanent wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, censorship of dissenting views (under the false label of “misinformation”) and a continuation of the weaponized FBI and IC to wage war on domestic political opponents. The choice is clear. Yet investors and voters won’t have that choice if Trump is killed.
Large staffing companies that thrived during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars under the Bush-Obama years retooled their business models as the US involvement and war funding in the Middle East wound down. Now, these staffing firms seem to be profiting off the Biden-Harris administration's open-border migrant invasion by providing essential services, such as private security, transportation, and many other services, to ensure the fed's migrant network nationwide operates smoothly.
The Biden-Harris administration's 'America Last' policies have left the country vulnerable. Between draining the strategic petroleum reserve, sending hundreds of billions in cash and equipment to Ukraine (such as electrical transformers that are now needed for Hurricane Helene), and FEMA spending $640 million to help migrants, the agency tasked with emergency preparedness is now 'broke,' and doesn't have enough money to get through hurricane season which typically lasts through November.

The bloc should boost defense production, amass reserves and continue aiding Kiev, Andrius Kubilius has said. The EU and Russia could face one other on the battlefield in less than a decade, MEP Andrius Kubilius, the newly appointed EU Commissioner for Defense and Space said this week. The former Lithuanian prime minister has been known for his hardline stance on relations with Moscow. The bloc must ramp up its defense production and stock up reserves to be able to “defend itself,” said Kubilius, who is currently a member of the European People’s Party group in the EU Parliament, which presented its strategic paper on defense on Wednesday.

Indigenous communities worldwide face numerous challenges in protecting their land and resources. These challenges are mired in historical injustices, ongoing discrimination, and unequal power dynamics. Some of the critical challenges faced by indigenous communities include: Land Dispossession: One of the most significant challenges faced by indigenous communities is land dispossession. Throughout history, indigenous peoples have been forcibly removed from their ancestral lands through colonization, land grabs, and development projects. These land grabs have resulted in losing traditional territories and resources essential for their cultural identity and livelihoods.

In yet another blatant display of political persecution, former Mesa County, Colorado Clerk Tina Peters, 68—a gold star mother—has been sentenced to 9 years in prison. After bravely raising questions about election irregularities, Peters was relentlessly pursued by local and federal authorities, culminating in charges that were politically motivated from the outset. Peters’ crime? Exposing the truth about what happened in the 2020 election.

The additional forces would raise the total number of troops in the region to as many as 43,000. personnel and includes squadrons of F-15E, F-16, and F-22 fighter jets and A-10 attack aircraft, and the personnel needed to support them. The jets were supposed to rotate in and replace the squadrons already there. Instead, both the existing and new squadrons will remain in place to double the airpower on hand. https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=295976
