Pope on Nasrallah’s elimination: ‘immoral actions’

Big government is a bully, not a friend — and definitely not a daddy
Government is the biggest bully, and those currently comprising it are no longer hiding it. Bullies are usually timid and lacking self-worth. It is terrifying when they are not. (See also: the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, Nurse Ratched.) And there is no bigger bully than big government. “Big Education?” The government funds it. “Big Pharma?” The government is in bed with it. “Big business?” The government taxes and regulates it. And is in bed with it, too, in this burgeoning fascist oligarchy birthed by allegedly democracy-loving Democrats (and more than a few establishment Republicans). “Big Media?” Nothing but pathetic pajama-boy cheerleaders for Team Democrat.

Democrats Suddenly Care About Illegal Immigration After Years Of Gaslighting Americans
Kamala Harris and many Democrat candidates have suddenly pulled a 180 degree spin on their open border cheerleading. Not long ago they were gaslighting the American public on the crisis, denying that the danger existed and calling anyone who mentioned it a “racist.” In September of 2021 Harris argued: “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed.” This was a lie. Border crossings surged in 2021.

Over 13,000 murderers, over 15,000 dangerous sexual offenders, and over 425,000 other dangerous criminals were let into America after crossing in illegally. These are ones they know about. What about known (and unknown) ‘gotaways’? Why haven’t they focused on finding over 300,000 known children who’ve disappeared through the immigration system? Why haven’t Kamala, Joe, and other Democrats said anything about the children who are probably being exploited? The media and other Democrats should stop pretending that they’re empathetic. The only thing they care about is power.

The Startling Metadata Hidden within the Polling: Voters Love Trump
American Thinker partnered with Rasmussen polling to look at battleground states, plus a few blue states in which there seems to be a softening toward Trump. What emerged from the ten states was fascinating. In swing states, Trump and Kamala are close, although Trump seems to be pulling ahead. In blue states, Trump is closer than one would expect. Most amazingly, voters in all states, often by significant majorities, love Trump; they just don’t know it. On the kitchen table, bread-and-butter, money-in-the-bank, our-children’s-future issues, people accept the Republican view that Democrats have done a terrible job and Trump can do a better job.
