On the sixth day, God made man and made man male and female. In one day, in 2024, Israel made a lot of men eunuchs.
It was amazing operation.
We now know more than we did as this was happening yesterday. Israel, months ago, made clear that it had access to Hezbollah’s cell phone system. The head of Hezbollah ordered the terrorists to ditch their cell phones. They switched to pagers.
Israel got access to a large supply of the pagers, injected them with a heat sensitive explosive, and at 3:30 p.m. Beirut time yesterday Israel triggered the batteries in the pagers to overheat, which activated the explosives.
Thousands of Hezbollah operatives were wounded. A dozen or so died.
In the mean time, Israel now can trace each terrorist, source their location, their families, their ties, etc. And many of them are now sterilized.
There are a few very notable things that must be pointed out.
First, this was an amazing and amazingly successful operation.
Second, it is very notable that no one in Israel told the Biden Administration. I must admit I am somewhat shocked no members of the Biden Administration lost their testicles in explosions yesterday, though given the caliber of men in the Biden Administration, it’d be hard to lose what they do not have.
This really highlights the lack of trust. It also highlights just how compromised the Biden Administration is. Remember, Iran has absolutely penetrated the Administration and there is a deep, deep strain of antisemitism in the Biden Administration. Any advanced information more likely than not would have been leaked to Iran and/or Hezbollah.
The American press corps may be unwilling to go there, but the Biden National Security team is 100% compromised.
Third, Israel has carried out the most precisely targeted mass military operation in world history. They managed to generate mass casualties of enemies with very minimal civilian casualties. Targeted bombings and air strikes would have killed and wounded far more civilians.
Nonetheless, the antisemites of the West are outraged. American academics and left wing activists are beside themselves with rage at the operation. Why? Because they hate Jews. They should be thankful that Israel managed to target a massive amount of its enemies without mass civilian casualties. Instead, they are furious.
It has nothing to do with the innocent victims and everything to do with the Jews. The enemies of Israel hide behind the pictures of the suffering to take shots at the Jews.
A Lesson For Us in the Pagers
See what Israel did with access to pagers in Lebanon.
Now consider all those bits and pieces of our infrastructure that come through communist controlled China.
Israel blew up thousands of pagers. What malware has China placed in chips and devices that could be deployed to our detriment?
We have time to figure it out, but the clock is ticking.
This is CNN
Yesterday, CNN’s Jim Acosta had on three people who hate Donald Trump to explain how Donald Trump’s skirt was so short that he deserved the rape, or something like that.
For all of Chris Licht’s many faults, he understood that CNN had lost a lot of trust from the right and worked to get it back. Again, he had faults, but he also understood that CNN needed to find a balanced lane. It did not need to be Fox or MSNBC.
The return of Brian Stelter and the regular appearances of Don Lemon back on the network and the stacked panels of Trump haters is returning CNN to being MSNBClite.
For those from the right, like me, who like the network, this is a troubling sign. The problem with so much of the NYC-DC corridor of journalists is that they don’t even realize they have or are part of the problem of growing distrust in the media. It takes a long time to build trust and CNN was on the path to doing so. But that trust can evaporate very quickly.
One can only hope John Malone is paying attention.
Speaking of MSNBC
You’ll be unable to convince me that many of the faces who regularly appear on MSNBC would be upset if Trump were assassinated.
In July, as Donald Trump was being shot, the conversation on MSNBC with Trump’s assassination unfolding in a small window on screen was that he was a criminal tyrant whose return to office would destroy the country.
Regularly, talking heads on MSNBC talk about Trump as a threat to democracy, an authoritarian, a would-be tyrant, a dictator, and someone who must be stopped.
In July, after the assassination attempt, there was a pity party on the network about rhetoric. They then went right back to that rhetoric. Just last week, on MSNBC, they had on a Yale professor to assure MSNBC’s audience that we are in the pre-Third Reich phase.
“It’s not extreme to compare this time in the United States to the early thirties in Germany,” he said. “They’re deploying the tactics of the Nazis,” he continues.
In September, after the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, MSNBC instead went with “B*tch was asking for it.”
They’re working up the courage to move to, “Some people just need killin’.”
Now, they can certainly deny it all they want. But you’ll forgive me for not believing them after regularly comparing Trump to the rise of Hitler. If you saw the second Hitler rising, you’d want him dead too, just like the faces on MSNBC. Here is historian Michael Beschloss on MSNBC assuring us if Trump gets elected, he’s never leaving.
Comcast, which owns MSNBC, deserves some of the blame for not just the mass assassination attempt of Republican members of Congress by MSNBC viewer James Hodgkinson, but also for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
We’re seeing voices on MSNBC (and also CNN) assert that their truth claims are true. All Republican claims are lies. So Republicans are culpable for violence, but Democrats never are.
Democrats will never, ever restrain their own side. They will only ratchet up the rhetoric, using Republicans as their excuse.
The same people who believe Donald Trump is the second coming of Hitler, believed George W. Bush was too. The same people who believe Donald Trump is a racist, believed Mitt Romney was too. And they’ve all got face time on TV and in the columns of major newspapers.
The Democrat politicians who say Trump is a threat to democracy don’t really believe it. But many of those on TV actually do. So yeah, they want Trump dead and just haven’t worked themselves up to tell us how they honestly feel.
But they will eventually.
Arthur “Boo” Radley
The man down the street supposedly was super insane and had possibly murdered people. He stayed isolated in a house, perhaps with the bodies of the dead. It was all gossip, but repeated so much it just had to be true.
Except it wasn’t. If you have read To Kill a Mockingbird, you know about Boo Radley.
The stories of the Haitians in Ohio are starting to sound like the stories of Boo Radley too me.
To be sure, there is lots of evidence of lots of problems. There just continues to be no actual evidence they have been stealing people’s pets to eat them. Yes, there appears to be evidence for the geese and ducks. A local sheriff’s deputy tells me that’s true. He tells me there are lots of rumors, but no evidence of stolen pets.
People just have a cat go missing and blame Boo Radley, but Boo is Haitian now.
Historic Reverb
Yesterday, September 17th, was Constitution Day. On that day in 1787, the delegates at Philadelphia gathered to sign the document.
Fast forward seventy-five years. On September 17, 1862, the Union and Confederate Armies gathered at Antietam for the bloodiest day in American history. By nightfall on this night, September 18, there would be 22,727 dead, wounded, or missing.
The original sin of the nation was being washed away in the blood of the battlefield.
Now, one hundred sixty-two years later, our foreign enemies who have been unable to place us on the ash heap of history are desperately hoping we return to fratricide. And we are headed that way with too many on both sides of the political spectrum excited for the opportunity.
