It Was the Best Thing They Never Had. Kamala got 30,000 to come promising a free Beyonce Concert

 



Kamala promused  that Beyoncé would perform at Vice President Kamala Harris’ rally in Houston on Friday, but let fans were let down after the superstar failed to put on a show for the crowd of 30,000.

Instead, the 43-year-old “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer, a native of the Lone Star State, delivered a speech at Harris’ event, in which she endorsed the Veep in the 2024 presidential election.

The singer left the stage without performing — leaving critics to claim that Bey was snubbing the Democratic presidential nominee.

Instead, They dragged out 91-year-old Willie Nelson from his nursing home and he performed for the crowd.

According to X posts quoted by Daily Mail, critics claimed rally-goers just wanted to “catch a free Beyoncé concert,” calling the lack of a performance “unbelievable.”

“So let me get this straight, Kamala Harris baited people with a free Beyoncé concert and then had Willie Nelson perform,” wrote one X user. “Talk about a bunch of pissed-off concert-goers.”

“She can’t even deliver on promises to her own followers with a Beyoncé performance, but yes she will totally close the border and stuff,” another critic said sarcastically.

“Last night Democrats promised voters a free Beyoncé concert to get them to show up but when they showed up they got a washed up Willie Nelson concert instead,” someone else snarked, alleging that it is a foreshadowing that the political party will “lie to gain power.”

During her speech, Beyoncé said that she was not appearing as a “celebrity” nor “politician.”

“I’m here as a mother, a mother who cares about the world our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we are not divided, our past or present or future,” the Grammy winner said.

“We’re all part of something much bigger. We must vote and we need you,” she continued in her address.

“Let’s do this. Ladies and gentlemen, give a big, loud Texas welcome to the next president of the United States, Kamala Harris.”

Kamala needs to stop the Hitler rhetoric with Donald Trump NOW— before we see more violence

 

Imagine you’re Kamala Harris and you’ve gone all Hitler, all the time, but no assassins have granted your wish and Donald Trump continues to build a significant lead. Now what?

That’s the crucial question facing the vice president and desperate Democrats as, with apologies to Willie Nelson, the days dwindle down to a precious few.

So far, the answer from Harris and her party is a steady drumbeat of more Hitler, more fascist and more dictator charges despite warnings they are dog whistles for violence.

It’s not a stretch to imagine someone on the edge would conclude it’s sane and moral to stop the modern version of a monster who launched a world war and killed 6 million Jews.

Judging by her flip response, Harris doesn’t care. “No one should be the subject of violence,” she told reporters Friday, then added “but the American people deserve to be presented with facts and the truth.”

There you have it. If the trigger man comes, don’t blame me because I just told the truth.

10 Iranian Police Murdered in Iran No One Claiming Responsibility



An attack on an Iranian police convoy Saturday in the country’s restive southern province of Sistan and Baluchestan killed at least 10 officers, authorities said.

Details remain scarce over the attack in Gohar Kuh, some 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) southeast of the Iranian capital, Tehran.

Initially, reports simply described an attack by “miscreants” without more information. But shortly after, Iranian state media said 10 officers had been killed.

HalVash, an advocacy group for the Baluch people of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan, posted photos and video of what appeared to be a disabled truck painted with the green stripe used by Iranian police vehicles. One graphic photo shared by the group showed what appeared to be the corpses of two police officers in the front seat of the truck.

HalVash said the attack appeared to target two security force vehicles and all those riding in them were killed. The truck appeared to have only damage from bullets, rather than any explosive being used.

The state-run IRNA news agency said that Eskandar Momeni, the country’s interior minister, ordered an investigation into the incident that it described as causing the “martyrdom of a number of police.”

Authorities identified no immediate suspects for the attack, nor did any group claim responsibility. The assault came after Israel launched a major attack across Iran early Saturday morning.

The Baluch regions across the three nations have faced a low-level insurgency by Baluch nationalists for more than two decades. Verifying information remains difficult in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchistan, which for decades has been home to violence involving heroin traffickers.

The province is one of the least developed parts of Iran. Relations between the predominantly Sunni Muslim residents of the region and Iran’s Shiite theocracy have long been strained. Typical attacks involve hit-and-run assaults by militants in the region, like the Sunni militant group Jaish al-Adl, that kill a few security officials at a time.

However, there have been mass casualty attacks by militants in the past. In April, gunmen wearing explosive vests attacks several sites in the province, killing 10 before security forces gunned down 18 militants. Last December, another assault killed 11 and wounded eight others.

Meanwhile, the Taliban said they are investigating reports that Afghan migrants had been killed by Iranian security forces in the region earlier in October, an incident that threatened to further strain relations between the nations.

 

Turkey's Aerospace Defense Company Attacked ..Many Dead


 Turkey’s interior minister said an attack on the premises of the Turkish state-run aerospace and defense company TUSAS on Wednesday left a number of people dead or injured.


Ali Yerlikaya did not provide further details on the attack on Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc., in the outskirts of the capital, Ankara.

“Unfortunately, we have martyrs and injured people following the attack,” Yerlikaya said on X.

It was not clear who may be behind the attack. Kurdish militants, the Islamic State group and leftist extremists have carried out attacks in the country in the past.

Private NTV television said a group assailants arrived at an entry to the complex inside a taxi during a changing of the security personnel. At least one of the assailants detonated a bomb, while other attackers managed to enter the complex.

NTV said gunfire at the site was continuing and that some personnel at the complex may have been taken hostage.

Helicopters were seen flying above the premises in Ankara’s Kahramankazan district, the station reported.

TUSAS designs, manufactures and assembles both civilian and military aircrafts, unmanned aerial vehicles and other defense industry and space systems.

Security camera images from the attack, aired on television, showed a man in plainclothes carrying a backpack and holding an assault rifle.

At least one woman, also carrying an assault rifle, was among the assailants, according to the images.

Earlier, media reports said an explosion followed by gunfire was heard at the complex.

Security forces, ambulances and firefighters were dispatched to the site, NTV television reported.

Employees at the company were taken to a safe area, HaberTurk television reported.



Archdiocese blocks Ex-Satmar pro-Hamas "He/She" Abby Stein From Using Their Space as a Forum

Abby Stein 

A theatrical production based on the memoir of an ex-Hasidic transgender rabbi and activist, set to premiere in New York early next year, is scrambling to find a new home after its landlord rejected the script last week.

The landlord? The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

The production has become a casualty of a dispute between the East Village’s Connelly Theater, which had long staged provocative works, and the archdiocese, which owns the venue. The archdiocese has recently placed the theater under increased scrutiny, exercising a clause that gives it approval of plays shown at its property. The Catholic school that serves as the go-between between the church and the theater said it is “suspending all operations of its theater,” The New York Times reported.

Abby Stein, author of the 2019 memoir “Becoming Eve: My Journey from Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi to Transgender Woman,” was alerted last Wednesday that the adaptation of her book would no longer be permitted at the Connelly Theater.

Trump Takes Historic Poll Lead In RealClearPolitics National Average

 

With ten days and change to go, Donald Trump has taken the lead in the RealClearPolitics (RCP) average poll of national polls.

While he may be up by only a tenth of a point (as of this writing), what makes this achievement worthy of note is two things.

The first is momentum. This close to Election Day, there is no question the momentum is with the former president. Since early August, incumbent Vice President Kamala Harris has enjoyed a steady national lead over Trump. Two weeks ago, that lead was two points. That might not sound like a lot, but it those two points were the average of all the national polls, a lead as stubborn as it was steady. And now, at the precise time a candidate wants to be surging, Trump is. Currently, he sits at 48.4 percent to Kamala’s 48.3 percent.

This happened not due to an outlier but because Trump has closed the gap with Harris in a number of polls.

Two weeks ago, Harris led by +1 in the Emerson poll. Now they are tied. Three weeks ago, Harris was +3 in the NY Times/Siena poll. Today they are tied. Last month, Harris was +1 in the CNN poll. Today, they are tied. Just a few days ago, Harris was +3 in the TIPP poll. Today they are tied.

The second reason this matters is that it is unprecedented. This is Trump’s third run at the presidency, and never before has he held anything close to a lead in the RCP national average in the closing days of the campaign.

Four years ago, on this same day of the campaign, the polling average had Trump down 7.8 points to Joe Biden.

Eight years ago, on this same day of the campaign, the polling average had Trump down 5.4 points to Hillary Clinton.

It’s still a close race, but there is little doubt he is in better shape than she is.

After Israel’s strike, Iran’s ailing theocracy may be entering its dying days


Irrespective of how Iran may choose to respond to Israel’s latest military assault, the Jewish state’s massive military attack against key Iranian bases could ultimately prove to be the final nail in the Islamic Republic’s coffin.

The ease with which the Israelis penetrated Iran’s air defenses not only demonstrated the overwhelming military superiority that Israel enjoys over its Iranian adversary. It also showed that, despite the billions of dollars the ayatollahs have spent strengthening their armed forces in recent decades, the Iranian regime is little more than a paper tiger.

While Iran constantly boasts about fulfilling its ultimate objective of destroying Israel, its ability to do so is extremely limited.

The acknowledgement that Iran’s forces are no match for Israel’s superior firepower in a direct confrontation between the two powers has led Tehran to pursue the alternative policy of establishing an extensive terror network throughout the Middle East.

Four women participated in the Israel attack on Iran

The 4 brave IDF who humiliated Iran



 Four women, combat navigators, participated in the Israeli attack Friday night in Iran in an F-16 fighter jet, as reported Saturday on Kan News.

Dozens of combat airplanes, refuelers, and intelligence aircraft participated in the attack, flying about 1,500 kilometers. In the past few weeks, the Air Force performed many long-range attack drills, including flights with several formations during which the aircraft were refueled en route.

Israel attacked about 20 targets in Iran overnight in Operation Days of Repentance, which lasted several hours. The IDF stated that the targets included military objectives, among them missile production facilities and a ground-to-air missile array.

The attack operation included three waves of attacks, with the first two aimed at air defense systems and facilities for the production and storage of ballistic missiles.
