Friday and Saturday, the Israeli air force gelded Iran, diminishing the Mullahcracy’s sway and putting paid to the Russian-supplied defense systems. At the same time, the refusal of the owners of the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post to do the expected and endorse Kamala Harris for President has roiled their partisan activist staffs. Harris angered her rally crowd by promising a Beyoncé concert and delivering just a Beyoncé abortion speech at the same time Trump had an engaging three-hour conversation with Joe Rogan.
Iran
First accounts of the Israeli bombing on Friday night were sketchy but as time progressed, we are getting a clearer picture of what is happening. Once again we turn to Hussain Abdul-Hussain of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy for clarification.

Israel reportedly destroyed all the radars of Russian S-400 and S-300 systems, leaving Iran’s entire airspace blinded and in a second onslaught on Saturday it struck near Shiraz, Isfahan, Mashhad and in the northern region near Kurdistan.
“In #Iran, the king is naked. #Israel has proven that it can fly over the country with impunity, maneuver at will, and destroy military installations of its choosing. Dictatorships, as a rule, do not survive long after such a humiliation.”

One of the advantages about being old is that I remember the darnedest things, like the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC where the Court held that corporations and other associations could not be barred from spending money on political advertising. The Left went mad about it. Of course they did:
The biggest press in the country was in their hands and could be counted on to do their work for them. The idea of losing their monopoly was more than they could tolerate. This week, owners of two of those newspapers they regularly relied on to provide free campaign advertising, the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post, refused to endorse Harris for president, overruling their woke staffs. The nerve of the men who pay the pipers calling the tune! A number of writers at the LAT resigned. At the Washington Post, Robert Kagan, husband of Ukraine war Hawk Victoria Nuland, did so.
~Snip~As the week ended Harris had a big rally in Texas where attendees had been promised a Beyoncé free concert and instead got the singer’s riff on abortion. The boos of the disappointed crowd could not be restrained and this was going on as Trump had a lively and interesting three-hour chat with Joe Rogan, something Harris had declined to do.
It appears that Trump is trending upward and Harris is falling. If this holds and he wins, Steve Hayward offers some sage advice to him about how to get off to a fast start:
- Suspend all UNRWA funding
- Name an acting deputy secretary for civil rights in the DoJ and have that person abolish every DEI office of every college and university, with suspension of all funding for everything unless they do
- Indict HHS assistant Secretary Rachel Levine for her role in dropping age requirements for transgender surgery on minors
- Pardon every person convicted for non-violent crimes on J6
- Revive congressional committees on internal security to investigate Iranian penetration in “or influence over our government”
- Impound some spending
- Remove those civil servants who are useless or obstructive, order them to work at home and then cut off all email and access to department computer servers
- Demand that environs like Martha’s Vineyard and Marin County take their share of migrants granted asylum
Commentary:
Seems, all the dirty tricks and opportunities offered by the complicit Quisling Media to give Democrats a boost in this coming election have resulted in a disaster.
As an undersized guy who went to new schools from 7th through 11th grades (you know what happens to the 'new guy'), I learned that the only good answer to the bully's question is a swift kick to the groin or a poke in the eye.
Bullies don't understand logic or discussion, but they do understand pain.
The biggest concern of the Democrats is the sure and certain knowledge that they are out-gunned by the "Militia" (as originally defined).
If they get stupid about what they think they can get away with, they will learn otherwise.
I'm paraphrasing here, but there is actual power, and perceived power; and when you call bullies on their "bully Crap" they tend to realize that they aren't so tough after all. Democrats need to learn that no one's buying their bully threats or lies any longer, except the true believers.
