Hurricane Helene Becoming Kamala’s Katrina as More US Funds Go to Lebanon than Storm Victims
Here are the straight figures. On Saturday, Democratic Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris tweeted:
The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there. To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.
Harris made her generous announcement following Wednesday’s statement by Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which falls under his jurisdiction, is experiencing a shortage of funds for the remainder of the hurricane season. And there have been rumors about misappropriations of funds in the agency.

Ben-Gvir Slams Kamala for Ignoring Displaced Israelis
Itamar Ben-Gvir slammed Kamala Harris for a post on X, in which she lamented the “dire humanitarian situation” in Lebanon, and pledged $157 million in assistance.
The right-wing Israeli National Security Minister shot back at Kamala for ignoring the plight of tens of thousands of displaced Israelis living in the north, forced to evacuate their homes for a year due to constant rocket attacks from Hezbollah.
Harris wrote, “The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.”
She added, “To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.”
Ben-Gvir replied, “Kamala, the humanitarian act is to make sure all the citizens of northern Israel return home safe and sound, against all enemies.”
Harris met with Muslim leaders in Flint, Michigan on Friday, expressing concern over the humanitarian situations in Gaza and Lebanon.
Watch American Official Shamelessly Taking Credit for Rescuing Yazidi Woman Kidnapped To Gaza By ISIS Ten Years Ago
Americans had nothing to do with the rescue! It was the IDF! The only thing that Americans were involved in was taking a phone call for an Iraqi Official asking for them to look into it. The Americans immediately handed over the entire operation to the Israelis!
There were no American troops or personnel in Gaza at all!
What Sheer Chutzpah!
Iraq also thanked the US and never mentioned Israel! I say bring her back to Gaza!
Aguna gets her get when her husband had an Israel "Exit Delay Order" and Couldn't Get to Uman!
A woman who had been an Agunah for two years finally received her get from her husband after he realized that he would not be allowed to travel to Uman for Rosh Hashana if he didn’t grant the get, according to a Ynet report.
The recalcitrant husband found out recently that he had an exit delay order issued against him as part of the sanctions authorized by the Beis Din in order to persuade him to grant the divorce. After his request to cancel the order was denied, he decided to give the get to his wife.
The two had wed ten years ago and the woman requested a divorce two years ago, but the husband refused for various reasons. The woman had asked Yad le’Isha to help her in her predicament and attorney Rebbetzin Dina Raitchik, who represented the woman, succeeded in placing sanctions on the husband.
Despite the sanctions including a lien on the bank account, the husband refused to relent until he realized that he would not be able to attend the Uman services on Rosh Hashana. “We realized we had an opportunity which would return to pressure him and we refused to cancel the exit order,” Rebbetzin Raitchik added. “In the end his love for the Tzaddik overcame his ‘love’ for his wife. I am happy the woman ended the year as a free woman. We will continue to fight for the freedom of all of our clients who are trapped in marriages against their will.”
Iran Grounds All Flights Amid Fears of Israeli Retaliation
Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization suspended all flights in and out of the Islamic Republic on Sunday night due to what it said were “operational restrictions,” state-run media reported, as Israel vowed a significant response to last week’s firing of 200 ballistic missiles at the Jewish state.
Flights to and from airports in the country will be canceled from 9 p.m. on Sunday to 6 a.m. on Monday, the semi-official Mehr news agency said, citing a spokesman for Tehran’s Civil Aviation Organization.
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Israel is “powerful in both defense and offense, and this will be reflected in the manner of our choosing, at the time and place of our choosing.”
“Whoever thinks that by attempting to harm Israel they will deter us from taking action, should take a look at [our operational achievements] in Gaza and in Beirut,” the minister added.
On Oct. 1, the Islamic Republic fired some 200 ballistic missiles in what it said was a retaliation for the targeted killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and other Tehran-aligned terrorist leaders.
Jerusalem is reportedly planning a significant attack on the regime, which could include targeting nuclear sites and oil fields, although U.S. President Joe Biden has expressed opposition to both of these options.
A senior political source in Jerusalem told the Israel Hayom daily on Sunday night that Israel is not interested in a prolonged war of attrition with the Islamic Republic and that its response will be such “that it will cause Iran to reconsider its desire to enter into a drawn-out conflict.”

Hillary Clinton declares that it’s a “double standard” to ask Harris to explain her unexplained policies!
With just about four weeks to go before the presidential election, various people are predictably rolling out their “October Surprise” scenarios. The most prominent such person is Hillary Clinton.
That is not a shock to many who believe her to be behind the “Russia Collusion” surprise unleashed on Donald Trump in summer 2016. That “surprise” was a known and proven hoax, orchestrated to take down the Trump campaign. For those who may have forgotten that sordid episode — or who seek to pretend it never happened — I suggest they read the Durham Report, released in May 2023.
While doing an interview with “Firing Line” host Margaret Hoover on PBS, the former first lady and Secretary of State spoke of an “October Surprise” to come, speculating that “there will be concerted efforts to distort and pervert Kamala Harris, who she is, what she stands for, what she’s done.”
Surely Clinton knows that tens of millions of American voters — along with a number of grizzled political pundits from both sides of the aisle — find that laugh-out-loud absurd. “Distort” and “pervert” what Harris “stands for.” Are you kidding me?
Harris, the shadowy puppet masters behind her and much of the media are working 24/7 to ensure that voters never learn what she “stands for.” Furthermore, Clinton herself endorsed that “hide from the media and voters” strategy. While on the Kara Swisher podcast just last month, Clinton forcefully declared that it’s a “double standard” to ask Harris to explain her unexplained policies.

Did Israel Kidnap the Iranian General Esmail Qaani, the commander of Iran’s elite Quds Force??? Iran Thinks so!
In Tehran, there are suspicions that a Quds Force commander was kidnapped by Israel.
This may explain why the IDF is blocking rescue forces from reaching Dahieh to evacuate the injured. It could be a deception to hide his fate—either dead or kidnapped.
They are horrified by the idea.
This might also explain the Iranian foreign minister's visit to Beirut this week. If true, it would be an unprecedented shock and humiliation for Iran.

Nasrallah Paid Israel $1.2 Million for the Beepers ..Washington Post!
"Following a Washington Post investigation, the most surprising detail is that $1.2 million was transferred directly from Hezbollah to Israel for the purchase of 5,500 beepers. Directly—through the company that sold them.
This operation ultimately led to Hezbollah's downfall.
What a genius operation.
