The crisis in western Iran is intensifying. As Sanandaj and other cities burn, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) last weekend issued a curious statement threatening a military incursion into Kurdish northern Iraq.

The statement read: “In case of inability of some neighbors in expelling elements of separatist terrorists and hypocrites stationed in the border areas… the armored and special forces units of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces are ready to be deployed to free this region of these evils forever.”

T. Belman. The drone costs bout $20,000 compared to an average of $13 million for a missile. They are easy to shoot down as their speed is 115 miles/hr. The also have a small payload. Iran is sending them to Hezbollah and Syria too. The Iron Dome missile costs between $20,000 and $100,000 each depending on who you believe.

Ukrainian officials said Russia killed at least four people on Monday by detonating a so-called kamikaze drone in Kyiv, the latest apparent use of the unmanned explosive device.

The officials suggested the strike — one of 28 drones that targeted the Ukrainian capital on Monday — appeared to involve an Iranian Shahed-136 drone, with video showing an aircraft quickly lowering on its target in the city’s center.

T. Belman. Weiss rightfully castigates Kanye but she is off the mark on Trump who said “No President has done more for Israel than I have,” and “US Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel—Before it is too late!”” She erroneously called this a threat. She went on to say, “However you read the opaque missive, the toxic notion of the ungrateful Jew is unambiguous” thereby labeling Trump, an antisemite. No way, no how. He was merely doing what all politicians do, namely drawing attention to his achievements and calling for support. Trump is voicing his consternation in asking why Jews don’t support him more. Good question though. He was also saying that Biden is a threat to Israel. Couldn’t agree more.

Yesterday was any given Sunday in America, which meant that most Jews were not at all astonished when we looked down at our phones and discovered a former president was calling us ingrates and one of the most famous artists in the world was doing Louis Farrakhan one better. We are long past astonishment.

T. Belman. Very disappointing. Netanyahu better know what he is doing.. He must be confident that he will reach 61 seats particularly if he crushes her.

According to Channel 12, after dithering over how to handle the struggling Jewish Home leader, the opposition chief now aims to deprive her of even ‘a single right-wing voter’

In the final stretch of the campaign ahead of the November 1 election, opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to go hard after Jewish Home and its leader Ayelet Shaked and ensure she does not pass the electoral threshold, according to a Sunday report.

Netanyahu’s plan is to ensure “that Shaked is not left with a single right-wing voter,” Channel 12 news reported on the thinking in the Likud leader’s inner circle.

A heroic leader who should be supported by every patriot who loves our country.

 by David Horowitz, FPM,

Kanye West is one of the most important voices in the black community and a leading force in the battle to save our country from the onslaught of the Biden administration and the fascist Left. Despite the mountain of slanders directed at him in the last week, Kanye West is not an antisemite any more than Donald Trump is a white supremacist. Both are targets of the largest and most vicious witch-hunt in American history, directed by the Biden administration and its kept media.

In recent weeks there has been a surge in terror attacks against both Israeli soldiers and civilians, Though those attacks have not been on a grand scale, they have been consistent, precise and disruptive in the sense that they targeted innocent civilians and killed some.

In order to effectively deal with the situation, Israel must ascertain the facts.

Picking up his long-held criticism of Jewish Americans not taking enough concern for Israel, former President Donald Trump warned American Jews must “get their act together” on appreciating Israel “before it is too late.”

“No president has done more for Israel than I have,” Trump wrote Saturday on Truth Social. “Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S. Those living in Israel, though, are a different story – highest approval rating in the world, could easily be P.M.! U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel – before it is too late!”

The revelations of FBI malfeasance, egregious conduct and flagrant lies revealed over the last few days during the Durham trial expose the agency’s willingness to interfere and impede the will of the American people and the administration of the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

The FBI is not alone in this coup perpetrated against our nation.

T. Belman. This repercussion is very worrying.

Recent examples of US weapon shipments to Ukraine demonstrate the problem that Israel could face if Iran and its allies lay their hands on them.

By  Jacob Nagel, ISRAEL HAYOM

Iran and the US have been moving along two parallel lines when it comes to restoring the 2015 nuclear deal. Despite President Joe Biden’s willingness to make major concessions through his envoy Rob Malley, things are up in the air when it comes to the prospects of finalizing a revived agreement.

Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine continues to shed blood. The ongoing combat has implications that should worry Israel and require immediate address. The chief concern is that Russia and Iran are increasingly moving into each other’s orbit. This means that reality has changed not just in Syria and Lebanon, but also in Russia and Iran.

Who among us could have guessed a few years back that today gender ideology would be the clearest, most divisive matter of contention separating the American left from the right?  To those reasonably grounded in reality, the notion that gender is fluid, that a Supreme Court Justice would be unable to define the word “woman,” that men can give birth, and that children can and should be mutilated if they are confused about their own gender identity is not only sheer lunacy, it is barbaric.

Don’t believe the psy-ops polls: Democrats are in for a shellacking unlike any they’ve had in a long while.

By Ned Ryun, AM GREATNESS

As sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, corporate propagandists offer their best psy-ops for the midterms. Through the summer and into the early part of fall, they were driving the narrative that somehow the midterm elections were not going to be particularly devastating for the freakish Left, and by that I mean Democrats writ large.

The United States is not prepared for strategic space competition against a united China and Russia, according to one expert.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is nearing technological parity with the United States in key space domains, according to Brandon Weichert, an independent geopolitical analyst. That means that it will soon threaten the United States’ ability to project power in space.
