American soldiers will reportedly send the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) air defense system to Israel in order to prepare for intercepting ballistic missiles, N12 reported on Saturday night.
According to the report, such a decision would prompt the US to station American soldiers in Israel to operate the THAAD system. The decision to operate the THAAD US air defense system on Israeli soil would come in preparation for an expected Iranian response to Israel's anticipated retaliation strike on Iran, the N12 report noted. Following the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also directed the deployment of the THAAD system to Israel, according

Vice President Harris is underperforming the last three Democratic candidates for the White House among Latino voters while her GOP competitor, former President Trump, maintains his support among the critical group of voters, a new survey found.
The survey, conducted by the New York Times / Siena College, found Harris has slipped into low territory for Democrats.//snip//Throughout his three presidential campaigns, Trump has made immigration a focus. He’s targeted migrants for “invading” the country and took aim at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The survey also found that most Hispanic respondents don’t feel like Trump is talking about them when he speaks on immigration.

In one of the most dramatic, high-risk space flights to date, SpaceX launched a gargantuan Super Heavy-Starship rocket on an unpiloted test flight Sunday and then used giant "mechazilla" mechanical arms on the pad gantry to pluck the descending first stage out of the sky in an unprecedented feat of engineering. The Starship upper stage, meanwhile, looped around the planet and re-entered the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean as planned, enduring temperatures nearing 3,000 degrees as it descended to a controlled, on-target splashdown. The spacecraft came through the hellish heat of re-entry in relatively good condition, protected by improved heat-shield tiles and beefed-up steering fins

The leftist journalists at ProPublica pose as "A Pulitzer-winning, non-profit newsroom focused on investigative journalism in the public interest." But that journalism tends to rip conservatives as a danger to America. The headline writers for their latest effort, a 6,000-word expose in the Sunday New York Times Magazine by Ava Kofman (in partnership with the liberal nonprofit newsroom ProPublica) certainly know how to scare the paper's liberal readership: How Two Billionaire Preachers Remade Texas Politics They control Republican politics in the state. Now they’re poised to take their theocratic agenda nationwide.

We can see signs of the Democratic freak-out going on all around us, as they start to realize that maybe trading Joe Biden out for Kamala Harris wasn't the best idea.
The most recent example is them dragging out Barack Obama to help Kamala in Pittsburgh. It showed how desperate they are. Even Obama admits there isn't the same enthusiasm that there had been for him. He blames black male voters -- the "brothas"-- and suggests they have a problem with Harris because she is a woman.
You don't start looking for excuses like that unless you think that your side is losing or in trouble.

In the early days after Tim Walz and JD Vance were announced as vice presidential candidates, Walz scored higher approval ratings. Neither man was broadly familiar to the public, so that was an artifact of biased press coverage.
But in the aftermath of Vance’s crushing debate victory, public opinion has shifted. Rasmussen finds Vance with a positive approval rating, 50% favorable to 42% unfavorable. Walz is under water, at 42% favorable and 44% unfavorable.
Most respondents, of course, are just sticking up for their party, so Vance’s edge no doubt represents an even more significant gulf in public perception

The Biden-Harris administration reportedly colluded with foreign government entities in silencing Americans’ free speech, and one congresswoman has had enough. According to documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL) in September, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) took advice from UK government censors on how best to crush speech. The shocking documents came amid Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-SC) campaign to defund foreign censorship and prevent domestic election interference by suppressing speech. They also come after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted to censoring COVID-19 speech after government pressure. As alleged by AFL, the Biden White House hosted the UK government Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU),

Elon Musk’s tweets about the presidential election and spreading falsehoods about Hurricane Helene are endangering his ability to launch rockets off California’s central coast.
The California Coastal Commission on Thursday rejected the Air Force’s plan to give SpaceX permission to launch up to 50 rockets a year from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County. “Elon Musk is hopping about the country, spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims with free Starlink access to the internet,” Commissioner Gretchen Newsom said at the meeting in San Diego.

Kamala Harris is on a "media blitz" because her numbers are slipping. Badly.
This is about the 18th version of Kamala Harris--she "reboots" so regularly because she is no good at this campaigning thing... I'm pretty sure her internal polls show worse numbers than that.
The blitz is not going well at all, unfortunately for her (or Tim Walz, who just had a disastrous interview on Good Morning America). The latest clusterfark for Kamala was her Univision "town hall," during which she gave the same canned answers she always does, and as a result, I think you can rest assured that her poor performance with Latinos is about to

The Justice Department announced Friday that it is suing Virginia over its efforts to purge voter rolls within 90 days of an election, calling the state's actions a violation of federal voting laws.
The suit comes about two months after Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order requiring the state's Department of Elections to conduct daily updates to its voting list, including comparing the list of identified "non-citizens" to the state's existing list of registered voters. Local officials are required to notify people found on both lists that their voter registration will be canceled if they fail to respond

Boeing
will cut 10% of its workforce, or about 17,000 people, as the company’s losses mount and a machinist strike that has idled its aircraft factories enters its fifth week.
Boeing expects to report a loss of an $9.97 a share in the third quarter, the company said in a surprise release on Friday. It took charges in both its commercial airplane unit and defense business.
The manufacturer also won’t deliver its still-uncertified 777X wide-body plane until 2026, putting it six years behind schedule, and will stop making commercial 767s in 2027, CEO Kelly Ortberg said in a staff memo on Friday afternoon.

Tehran has secretly threatened to strike America's oil-rich allies in the Middle East if their territory or airspace is used for an Israeli attack on Iran, it has emerged.
Israeli officials are pushing for damaging strikes on nuclear facilities or oil infrastructure after Tehran fired 180 ballistic missiles at Israel earlier this month.
But Iran has now warned that it will respond with 'devastating hits' on Israel's civilian infrastructure and against any Arab states that help facilitate the touted attacks, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Iran has reportedly threatened several countries hosting American troops, including Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
