On Sunday night, the IAF conducted a series of targeted, intelligence-based strikes against dozens of facilities and sites used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to finance its terrorist activities against the State of Israel.
The commander of the Israel Defense Force's 401st Armored Brigade, Col. Ehsan Daqsa, was killed during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday. He is one of the most senior officers to fall in the offensive against Hamas terrorists.
Captured terrorists confirm they paid UNIFIL to use their outposts against Israel and even use their surveillance cameras to spy on IDF positions.
Shirel Golan, a survivor of the Nova Music Festival massacre on Oct. 7, 2023, during which she witnessed several of her friends be killed, took her own life on her 22nd birthday in her apartment on Sunday – having struggled with severe PTSD over the last year.
In what might be one of the most serious breaches of Israeli security in a long while, there are reports seven Israelis, all of whom immigrated from Azerbaijan, have been spying for Iran for the past two years. They are suspected of photographing Israeli military bases including those struck in the Oct. 1 Iranian ballistic missile strike.
The Wall Street Journal reported Arab negotiators offered recently eliminated Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar safe passage out of Gaza near the beginning of the war, but he refused, apparently assessing both Hezbollah and Iran would join more forcefully to destroy Israel.

Michelle Obama, part and parcel of husband Barack Obama's agenda to remake America according to the socialistic ideals they hold, often has been considered radical.
Now that she's promoting Kamala Harris for president, the extent of that radicalism has become apparent: With her agenda to use drag shows to reach voters.
It is a report at EndTimes Headlines that explains Michelle Obama's "voter mobilization initiative" is counting on drag shows, and the idea of seeing Cardi B, a performer in the genre of rap, to push voters she wants to the polls.
The report explained her organization, founded in 2018, is planning to have 500 "Party at the Polls" events in multiple states, including Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.
The report explained, "The former first lady is also expected to headline a WWAV (When We All Vote) rally on Oct. 29 in Georgia."
She is trying to push voters "through music and celebrity appearances," and her intention is to create a "celebration" around early voting and bringing together communities "to cast their ballots early."
On social media, she claimed, "With early voting happening right now — it's important that folks make a plan to vote by Election Day."
She's utilizing such popular organizations like "Drag Out the Vote," a drag queen organization that wants LGBT voters to vote.
The organization also announced that someone could win tickets to see Cardi B later if they volunteer to benefit Harris.
"The election doesn't start on Election Day — it ends on Election Day," the group's spokeswoman, Beth Lynk, said. "Mrs. Obama, our co-chairs and ambassadors, and voters will all come together at this rally to celebrate Georgia."
Actually, with multiple schemes to count ballots even if they arrive after election day, a factor that likely skewed the 2020 results during COVID, the claim election ends on election day is suspect at best.
A report in the Atlantic at one point noted that Michelle Obama when her husband first was president said that that was the "first time" that she was as an adult proud of her country.
She claimed just weeks ago that someone is going to have to tell President Donald Trump that being president is a "black job."
And she complained about the racism she'd endured while her family lived in the White House.
A political commentator noted her evident frustration during recent speech appearances.
A leftist fact-checker admitted that Michelle Obama's thesis, after her attendance at the elite Princeton, was "race-conscious."
She wrote about early in her college career when she had no doubt "she was somehow obligated to this (black) community and would utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit this community first and foremost."
She said Princeton made her "far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before. I have found that at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong. Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second."

A longtime political pundit, Frank Miele, retired editor of the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell, Montana, now a commentator at RealClearPolitics, has written about what he expects when the presidential election ballots are counted in just two weeks.
The author of "The Media Matrix: What If Everything You Know Is Fake," explains at Real Clear Wire that President Donald Trump, "will win, and he will win convincingly."
"But that doesn't mean the progressive left won't have a meltdown. Just as in 2016, when Trump was first elected president, the media will be dismayed, the Democrats will be shocked, and there will be protests in the streets, possibly violent. Congressional Democrats such as Jamie Raskin will try to prevent Trump from being sworn in by declaring him an insurrectionist," he explained.
He says that while there are seven battleground states that "are supposed to decide the election," bigger is the fact that the American people "in large measure have come to regret the election that put Joe Biden in the White House four years ago."
That was the election that Trump is accused in court of trying to "overturn." It's the election he's cited as having been stolen. Actually, there were several undue influences on that result, in the midst of COVID. Mark Zuckerberg handed out $400 million plus to local election officials who often used the extra cash to recruit Democrat voters. The other was the FBI's interference when it falsely labeled the Hunter Biden laptop computer scandal as disinformation and told publishers to suppress it. Later polling showed that information, accurate as it was, very likely would have turned the results of the election around had it been reported ordinarily.
The commentary explained that in recent months polling has confirmed not even a third of Republicans think Joe Biden is a legitimate president, and 36% of all Americans have doubts about that result.
"That is only a feeling, not a fact, but feelings decide presidential elections, and the almost gleeful anti-American thrust of Biden's presidency has given more than 60% of potential voters a feeling that we are on the wrong track as a nation."
He explained he had spoofed, just before the 2020 vote, about Kamala Harris turning Biden out of office with the 25th Amendment as soon as the two gained the White House.
"It didn't quite happen that way, of course, but 3½ disastrous years later, Kamala along with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi seemingly used the specter of the 25th Amendment to force Biden to end his reelection bid. Life imitating art," he said. "In my pastiche, President Trump had appeared close to sealing his victory in the 2020 election, thanks to late mail-in votes in Pennsylvania. But 'in an emergency session, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court convenes and reverses its earlier ruling that late votes could be counted for up to three days. The new ruling asserts that late voting amounts to election interference 'on account of Trump winning,' thus handing the state and the Electoral College victory to Biden."
He pointed out that ultimately the courts ruled in favor of Biden in those election disputes by "refusing to look at the evidence of fraud or unconstitutional irregularities."
Trump's messaging about elections is being adopted by voters "because it matched their lived experience. They saw with their own eyes that the wide-open Biden border was being called secure by Biden, Harris, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. They saw that Biden's Supreme Court nominee couldn't say for sure what makes a woman a woman, and then they watched as boys began to dominate girls' sports. They watched prices on the rise and safety in decline. Worst of all, they stood helpless as the world seemed to be rushing headlong toward World War III, first in Ukraine, then the Middle East, all the while as China has been threatening to cripple the world economy by attacking Taiwan," he explained.
What's important in the aftermath of the 2024 vote, he said, is "whether the experience of Americans will reflect renewed prosperity, a safer world, and respect for tradition and common sense. Many will try to prevent that, but making America great again should be a unifying goal," he said.
Pointedly, he noted, "If I am wrong and Kamala Harris becomes the 47th president, I pray that divine providence takes hold of her and guides her to protect, defend, and strengthen these United States and their Constitution. Seems like a long shot, but without Trump, prayer is all we got."

It's now JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee for 2024, who has responded to a crowd shout that "Jesus is King."
The issue came to be part of the 2024 presidential campaign just days ago when, during a Kamala Harris rally, someone in the crowd shouted 'Jesus is Lord."
She promptly instructed they were at the wrong rally, and they were subsequently ejected.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk posted Vance's comment online:
Vance was commenting on the times that Harris is discounted or disregarded, even belittled, faith.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Jesus is King," and he responded, "That's right. Jesus is King."
An editorial at Twitchy explained, "As Twitchy readers know, Kamala Harris had Christians kicked out of her rally for daring to yell, 'Jesus is Lord'. She went so far as to mock them, claiming there were at the wrong rally for bringing up Jesus, as her dozens of supporters sneered and even shoved the two young students out."
While that was "not a great look for the broad already struggling to connect with normal, everyday Americans," it was Vance who "was good enough to show her how you REALLY react when someone in your crowd brings up Jesus."
WND reported when Harris reacted to a similar situation, in the opposite way.
Harris, hand-picked after the party's elite threw Joe Biden under the bus and chose her as a substitute this year, took the opportunity of a rally attendee who shouted 'Jesus is Lord" to mock Christianity.
The social media opinion included, "Mock Jesus at you're (sic) own peril," and, "Nobody stand too close to her."
Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit headlined a report on the comment, and reaction, "EVIL: Kamala Harris and her supporters mock Christian attendee…"
Harris was promoting America's industry of killing unborn children at the time, saying, "We remember Donald Trump hand-selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade and they did as he intended.'
Actually, the Supreme Court ruled that the Roe decision was faulty from its outset and not based on the Constitution, so it was overturned, and the result returned regulation of the abortion industry to states.
The report said the Christian "bravely stood up and proclaimed, 'Jesus is Lord.'"
Only to be mocked by Harris: "I think you're at the wrong rally." She added. "Try the smaller one down the street."
The documentation came from Jennifer McKinney, a Wisconsin resident who attended both the Trump rally in late August and the Harris event.
She explained the "smaller" Trump rally had about 7,000 attending, while Harris had perhaps a reported 2,500.
Social media commenters included one who was looking at not just 2024, but perhaps 2028, with the comment, "Vance is a smart man who will be a great president."

Howard Kurtz, the former Washington Post media writer who left CNN to join Fox News in 2013, is blasting "60 Minutes" as "blatantly unethical" for its "pathetic response" to allegations the network deceptively edited its recent interview with Kamala Harris to help the vice president sound better.
CBS News released a statement Sunday night, indicating: "Former President Donald Trump is accusing '60 Minutes' of deceitful editing of our Oct. 7 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. That is false."
"'60 Minutes' gave an excerpt of our interview to 'Face the Nation' that used a longer section of her answer than that on 60 Minutes. Same question. Same answer. But a different portion of the response. When we edit any interview, whether a politician, an athlete, or movie star, we strive to be clear, accurate and on point. The portion of her answer on '60 Minutes' was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide ranging 21-minute-long segment."
Appearing on Fox News Monday afternoon, Kurtz hammered the network's claim.
"This is a pathetic response by '60 Minutes' after a week of silence," Kurtz told Martha MacCallum.
"It basically says, 'Yeah, we did it. So what?' They talk about making Kamala Harris sound more succinct, in other words, making her look better by switching up the answers as you just saw. You can't have a different part of an answer to the same question."
"It's blatantly unethical, and if someone on my staff did that, they'd be looking for a new job," he continued.
"The simplest thing would be to post a transcript. And if they thought this would exonerate them, they would post the transcript. I think they're hiding something, and they're afraid to do that."
MacCallum noted: "I think you're right about that because so often '60 Minutes' will say go to '60 Minutes Extra' and you can see the entire thing, but they didn't do that."
"Absolutely not and they're refusing to do it," Kurtz replied, "and it's impossible to imagine that if it helped their case we wouldn't have seen this transcript days ago."
MacCallum wondered: "And one of the issues with the vice president and the way she speaks is what people refer to as 'word salad.' So by extracting that part, you are also taking away from some of the editorial interest in her response, no?"
Kurtz answered: "Yeah. I mean I'm almost speechless because '60 Minutes,' you know, 50 years was sort of the gold standard of news-magazine reporting, and they've really created this mess for themselves, and this statement doesn't make it any better."
"When I talked to former President Trump over the weekend, he says, you know, he wants CBS off the air, he wants to yank the license. I don't necessarily agree with that. You'd be making an awful lot of people pay a price with nothing to do with '60 Minutes.' But at the same time, CBS' damage control here is just making it more damaging."
The Trump War Room says there's "a simple way" to clear up the matter, and that is to "release the full, unedited transcript" of Bill Whitaker's interview with Harris.
Trump himself has hammered CBS for its deceptive editing, calling it "the single greatest scandal, in my opinion, in broadcast history."
"'60 Minutes' and CBS interviewed Kamala, and she's incompetent. She gave them the dumbest answer anyone's ever heard. So they took that answer out, the whole answer they threw out, and they took another answer that she gave to a totally different question and inserted it. And supposedly, they did this a number of times. And they got caught. '60 Minutes' and CBS should lose their license for that."

There have been some serious questions raised about the behavior of Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris' husband, and now even a left-leaning personality is wondering why more reporters aren't grilling him about the truth.
The Daily Mail reports Bill Maher, a Time host, raised the issue.
The publication previously reported "Emhoff impregnated the family's nanny while married to his first wife, allegedly slapped an ex-girlfriend at the Cannes Film Festival, and was 'inappropriate' and 'misogynistic' at work."
It was during a recent "Overtime" show that Maher noted the reporting.
Would the leftist media keep ignoring the issue, he wondered.
"And wouldn't that make it look worse?" Maher asked.
A statement after publication confirmed that Emhoff did have a relationship with the family nanny, which resulted in a pregnancy.
"What I'm saying is if this becomes more credible and we don't know yet. I mean, a lot of the conservative outlets still aren't reporting it, so I wouldn't go after anybody for not reporting it yet because these things have to be checked out. But if it becomes more credible, certainly on the level of Brett Kavanaugh, which was that kind of thing was reported by everybody pretty quickly," Maher said. "Does the liberal media keep ignoring it?"
WND reported after the allegations had appeared, that Emhoff was asked about the claims, and did not deny them
It was the Daily Mail that now has updated its reporting on the man, who if Kamala Harris is elected, would be in the White House for four years.
It reported, "Doug Emhoff has dismissed bombshell stories that he slapped his ex-girlfriend and had an affair during his first marriage as a 'distraction,' but didn't deny them. … Emhoff was asked by MSNBC's Joe Scarborough on Friday whether the allegations about his personal life 'p—–' him off. The Morning Joe host didn't question him over the details or ask whether DailyMail.com reports about his past were true. Scarborough even reduced them to being 'tabloid' stories being pushed by Donald Trump and Republican critics. But Emhoff avoided the chance to slap them down and instead brushed them off while he insisted he was focused on his wife's presidential campaign."
The results of the Daily Mail's investigations already have been reported.
Those include that he "forcefully slapped" a former girlfriend allegedly for "flirting" with another man.

It can be called breathtaking because it's exactly that on all levels.
Every breath you take is packing an astonishing secret for your life not only at the present moment but also for your glorious future, according to the best-selling author of a brand-new, inspiring book probing countless mysteries, including many from the Bible.
"We may not realize it, but every single breath we take should be filling us with amazement and hope because it's not merely a physical action, it's broadcasting a secret and impressive message from the Bible that few people ever consider," says Joe Kovacs, author of "REACHING GOD SPEED: Unlocking the Secret Broadcast Revealing the Mystery of Everything."
"To unlock the mystery, we have to use the divine keys that are provided in the Bible itself."
Those keys, says Kovacs, are verses broadcasting concepts that, once linked together, allow people to make the jump from the human speed of understanding to what he calls "God speed," another way of referring to the spirit level of divine wisdom.
"Here are some of the simple keys that will help unlock not only the hidden message in every breath we take but in countless other areas of life we experience daily," says Kovacs.
"The first is Romans 1:20, which explains God's invisible attributes, eternal power, and divine nature 'have been seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what he has made.' So we know just by examining anything in our created world, we can understand more about God and His Master Plan.
"Another is Isaiah 46:10, which tells us that God declares 'the end from the beginning.' What this indicates is that God is telling us the end of the story, the conclusion of all things, right from the start. So as we study not only the Bible but everything we deal with in life, we can see an obvious pattern of the outcome of events being revealed from the beginning.
"Yet another key is Matthew 13:34: 'Jesus told the crowds all these things in parables, and he did not tell them anything without a parable.' Millions already know that Jesus employed the parable teaching method, using stories and symbols to hide His message from the general populace of the world, but to reveal it to His true disciples with eyes to see and ears to hear. But what is often missed is that Jesus 'did not tell them anything without a parable.' In other words, everything is a parable. Not only is there a human, physical meaning to everything, there is an additional meaning on the spirit level of Godspeed."
Once these dots are connected, the author says, it becomes fairly simple to decode virtually anything, including the hidden message inside our human breathing.
"We already know inhaling fresh air into our lungs is what keeps us alive from moment to moment," says Kovacs. "If our breathing completely stops, we physically die rather quickly. So breathing is a natural form of life support. Why is this? Because breath itself comes from God (it's a representation of God), and He's loaning it to us temporarily in our current bodies made of dust."
"To understand this, let's go back to the beginning to be reminded of our ancient past: 'And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being' (Genesis 2:7 NKJV).
"The Book of Job also notes: 'The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life' (Job 33:4 CSB).
"Thus, breath represents the Spirit, the very presence of God, providing us life not only in the present but the future as well. It's easy to understand how breath sustains us now in our physical bodies. But if we read Genesis 2:7 again, keeping in mind how God declares the end from the beginning, we're being told the conclusion of our story."
"The verse is shouting to us our future. Because there's a resurrection coming. When we listen at God's speed, it says our Creator shall lift us out of the ground (our bodies, the dust of the earth) and breathe the breath of life back into us, raising us to life again to become a LIVING BEING. An eternally alive member of God's own family. This is the good news that millions of people don't focus on, and yet we're reminded of this magnificent future event every few seconds with every breath we take!"
This breathtaking understanding is just one of hundreds of mysteries unlocked in "Reaching God Speed," which features a myriad of stunning revelations, as the book:

Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on Sunday hammered the national news media for twisting remarks by former President Trump regarding potentially dangerous actions by the "enemy from within" on Election Day, wrongly insinuating that Trump would deploy the U.S. military against his political enemies.
"No surprise this week to see the media critique and misread my exclusive interview with President Trump last weekend when he responded to my question about whether outside agitators would emerge to create chaos on Election Day, should it appear that Trump was winning," Bartiromo said on her "Sunday Morning Futures" broadcast.
"Instead, most media outlets cut out my question entirely to suggest Trump wanted the military to take down his political enemies."
As WND reported last week, Bartiromo asked the ex-commander-in-chief if he expected chaos on Election Day this Nov. 5.
"No, not from the side that votes for Trump," the Republican presidential nominee responded at the time.
Bartiromo continued: "But I'm just wondering if these outside agitators will start the up on Election Day. Let's say you win. Let's remember, you've got 50,000 Chinese nationals in this country in the last couple of years. There are people on the terrorist watch list, 350 in the last couple of years. Like you said, 13,000 murderers and 15,000 rapists. What are you expecting? Joe Biden said he doesn't think it's going to be a peaceful Election Day."
Trump explained: "Well, he doesn't have any idea what's happening, he spends most of his day sleeping.
"I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Not even the people that have come in and are destroying our country. By the way, totally destroying our country, the towns, the villages, they're being inundated.
"But I don't think they're the problem in terms of Election Day. I think the bigger problem are the the people from within.
"We have some very bad people, we have some sick people, radical-left lunatics, and I think they're … and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or, if really necessary, by the military. Because they can't let that happen."
Now, Bartiromo is slamming those who took Trump's comments out of context.
"Following my interview," she explained, "Democrats and many mainstream media outlets constructed their own political narrative without including the full context of the Q&A about outside agitators on Election Day. Among the media outlets that ran misleading headlines, NPR, Vanity Fair, the Guardian, many others."
She then aired a montage of left-leaning TV news outlets who perverted the president's remarks:
- "In a Fox News interview, the former president also suggested using the military to go after what he called the enemy from within on Election Day."
- "It comes as former President Trump is employs increasingly inflammatory rhetoric and suggesting using the military against what he describe asked as domestic enemies."
- "We're at the point where he's saying I'm going to use the National Guard and the military to take my political enemies out of the country."
- "I'm talking about Donald Trump saying that he wants to use the National Guard and the military to go after the left. That's what he's saying."
- "On the campaign trail, Trump this weekend stepping up his anti-immigrant rhetoric and suggesting he might use the military against, quote, radical left lunatics on Election Day."
An astonished Bartiromo noted: "Here I was specifically asking him about the idea of outside agitators coming out, creating chaos on Election Day should it appear that he was winning. And here, I mean, the media the did not even include my question.
"It was amazing. Outlet after outlet, they took out my question on outside agitators entirely and they just ran him talking about Adam Schiff or the enemy within and getting the National Guard. That's what I was referring to and that was just really so incredible to me. They all did it. Every one of them."
Joining Bartiromo for analysis was Eric Trump, son of the former president, who said, "I've lived this for 10 years.
"It started with the dirty dossier where they made us the most unthinkable things about my father. Then they went to the Russia hoax, and that hung over my father's presidency for a three-year period of time.
"They they tried to to impeach him the first time. Then they went after Brett Kavanaugh, then they tried to impeach him the second time. Then they raided his home, they raided Melania's closet, they raided Barron's room.
"Then they tried to take him off the ballot in Colorado. Then they tried to take him off the ballot in Maine. then they weaponized every A.G. and D.A. in Atlanta, in New York, in Washington, D.C., to go after my father. Then you had Paige and Strzok and Comey. You had me getting 111 subpoenas.
"You had them ban him from Twitter, ban him from Facebook, ban him from Instagram. I mean, where do you want me to stop? That's exactly what my father's talking about, that's the enemy within. You see ABC, '60 Minutes,' they literally take Kamala Harris interviews and they edit them. They edit them to make her sound intelligent, to make her sound smart when she totally botches the questions.
"I mean, between the censorship and the legal lawfare and the political lawfare and the corruption and the weaponization of every political institution, there are tremendous enemies within. And there's not a single person, Maria, watching this right now, there's not a single people who haven't felt the degradation of our government and our system and our country under these people."

The American Center for Law and Justice is urging the Supreme Court to take up a specific case, and rule that Jewish professors in New York do not have to accept the anti-Semitic representation of a union as their "exclusive agent."
The ACLJ has confirmed it has filed a friend-of-the-court brief at the Supreme Court, "urging the court to protect the First Amendment rights of Jewish professors who refuse to be represented by anti-Semitic unions."
The case is called Goldstein v. Professional Staff Congress/CUNY (PSC) and, the legal team explained, "presents a critical opportunity to defend academic freedom and protect the fundamental right to free speech on our college campuses. It is about resisting a culture of intimidation and coercion that seeks to silence dissenting voices and restrict religious and ideological diversity within higher education."
It developed because of number of Jewish professors City University New York expressed concerns over the surging political bias within the Professional Staff Congress union.
That group is supposed to represent faculty and staff members but "began acting contrary to their interests in a variety of ways, taking an increasingly partisan stance on social and political matters," the ACLJ reported.
"The union's leadership, which claims to advocate for all its members, instead created an environment that punishes those who do not align with its ideological agenda. Most strikingly, the union adopted a resolution supporting the anti-Semitic BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) movement. As a result of PSC's resolution and subsequent conduct, Jewish professors have been ostracized on campus based on their identities, religious beliefs, and support for Israel," the report explains.
The problem is that they are not allowed the boycott, because state law bans them from leaving the political organization.
"They are compelled to continue to accept PSC as their exclusive agent and spokesman, regardless of how strongly they disagree with their union's conduct or how counter to their fundamental identity the speech of the union may be," the ACLJ said.
State courts there so far have taken the union's side, but the fight now is being moved up to the Supreme Court.
The ACLJ said its contribution to the legal discussion is that at stake are government employees' rights that are protected by the First Amendment.
"The threats of compelled speech are always serious, but they are particularly dangerous and egregious when union members are compelled to have a representative who speaks counter to those members' consciences," the ACLJ said.
"Unions function as political activity groups and de facto auxiliaries of a political party and should be treated as such. No one should be forced to participate in such public advocacy against their will, the group informed the court.
And, it pointed out, "The implications of Goldstein v. PSC extend far beyond one professor's individual rights. Unions like the PSC often claim to defend the interests of their members, yet their actions sometimes reveal a disturbing willingness to stifle internal dissent and push a singular agenda. This is not just a betrayal of their members – it's an assault on the fundamental principles of free speech and association that form the bedrock of our democracy."
