Senior Hamas Commander Dies of Covid-Related Israeli Airstrike
He died with covid but not of covid.
According to a report by the New York Post, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Tehran early Wednesday. Haniyeh was in Iran to attend the inauguration of the new Iranian president when the airstrike occurred. The Revolutionary Guard confirmed his death but did not provide details on who was responsible or the method of the assassination. Hamas, however, pointed the finger at Israel, stating Haniyeh was killed in a "Zionist airstrike on his residence in Tehran." In a brief statement, Hamas declared, "Hamas declares to the great Palestinian people and the people of the Arab and Islamic nations and all the free people of the world, brother leader Ismail Haniyeh a martyr." The Revolutionary Guard corroborated that Haniyeh was killed at his Tehran residence, adding that the cause was under investigation. No group has officially claimed responsibility for the assassination. Still, it comes in the wake of Israel's commitment to targeting Hamas leadership following the group's brutal October 7th attack on Israel. This assault resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis and the abduction of 250 individuals.Iran claims that Israel's attack on a terrorist child-killer who was hiding in another country so that he did not expose himself to counter-fire was "cowardly." A diversity of definitions of "cowardly" is our strength. Haniyeh is the Austere Religious Scholar who admitted that Hamas deliberately traps civilians near Hamas bases to use their Hamas-caused deaths as propaganda against Israel.
Children die in all wars. Hamas deliberately seeks to maximise civilian death. Even so, civilian casualty rate is extremely low in this conflict.

But, Mossad is killing leaders in other countries yet somehow failed to know anything about the October 7th attacks? I think several people probably knew about the attacks but knew it would be a great excuse to go after Hamas.
After all we’ve learned, does anyone believe any Western government wouldn’t happily let cities burn or thousands die if it meant they coukd keep pushing their agenda?

She starts with a rant about how Trump can’t be trusted with the nuclear button. That’s a new one and not part of the standard NPC programming. Did she pay for the upgraded player pack?
Then she suddenly veers off into Global Warming hysteria. Again, that’s not part of the usual TDS programming. But she can’t help herself. GW is the Holy Sacrament of these people’s lives.
Then it’s on to a weird rant about Trump "not believing in gravity." I assume that’s code for being Anti-Science (tm) and an attempt to claim GW is as established as gravity.
Finally, she's thrown off the plane. She was given of opportunities to calm down and take her seat. Nah. She seems proud that she got kicked off -- no doubt causing her a lot of trouble and inconvenience -- for screeching about Trump. She sure showed that filthy MAGA nazi!

Israel is not interested in this type of blame game. To hell with all the excuses anyone wants to peddle against taking out international terrorist warlords.
Netanyahu is like Trump. He does not care about Jews or Muslims. He is about himself. The way Israel's system is, he can remain in office as long as the wars continue.
Shaun King has something to say, "The United States and Israel have just assassinated the dear brother Ismail Haniyeh - who was the political head of Hamas. This comes after they already murdered virtually every member of his family. In the face of this, Brother Ismail remained steadfast to Islam and to a free Palestine.
He was working hard, day and night, on the ceasefire even though these genocidal monsters had murdered his own kids and grandchildren."
An Israeli strike is not good. I hope that it was an inside job. Someone Iranian. While I have no sympathy for this guy, not sure this will help bring peace quicker.

Of the four major components of human decision-making:
H abit
I nstinct
R eason
E motion
...Reason is the s l o w e s t.
The nasty trick the propagandists have played on us all is weaponizing the other three components, thereby preventing Reason from ever coming into play in the first place.
(People CAN reason, they just don't get the chance)
The best counterplay, if possible, is to defuse each of the other three BEFORE attempting to reason, and then have a method of reasoning that works even when everyone is bringing their own facts to the table (working on this now).
Because otherwise, it all devolves to Middle East-style, er, resolution.

The fact they even CHECKED what Talcum X said is telling, but they were actually mocking him. For the most part, DU is old white Dems, and they've been pretty supportive of Israel. At worst, they'll say Netanyahu is a bad guy, and there needs to be a ceasefire to help Palestinians resettle, but they don't like Hamas or much of the Hamas-led US protests.
Every thread will have a few activists pop-up to try and denounce Israel, apologize for Hamas, etc, but they get drowned out pretty quickly. They ARE very aware their party has an issue with Muslim voters potentially sitting out, which is why they're happy Kamala is running (and why some are hesitant to endorse Shapiro, even if he helps win PA).

Forty plus years (using the formation of the Dept. of Education as a marker) of indoctrination and anti-critical thinking has damaged many beyond repair (people in my town still drive alone wearing masks).

it never ceases to amaze me that the world condemns Israel for pinpoint strikes doing everything in it's power to avoid civilian casualties and are called war ciminals.
While Hamas and Hezbollah, the Houthis and IRGC in Syria send rockets at civilian populations on a daily, daily!, basis and it is fine with the UN, the ICC, and governments around the world. Somehow claiming victim status allows one to commit crimes against humanity, killing women, children, elderly, all innocent civilians.

It's probably explained in the novel more, but I assume Michael believed the other families were involved in the assassination attempts on his father, and he just wanted revenge? (Except for killing Moe Green...that was just business).
In Godfather II, Hyman Roth talks about Moe Green's death, hinting he knew Michael was responsible, but saying no one looked into it, because they knew it was business. Maybe that applied to killing the others, too?

There are some amazing electronic systems inside the F-35 (also known as Fat Amy, so I am told), when they are actually working.
The USAF F-35A's have an availability rate of about 40%.
Their ability to network, have 360 degree situational awareness, the software that helps reduce pilot workload in combat space, to be able to remotely target for other platforms.
When they are actually working, that is.

It makes Trump's road to 270 significantly more difficult if true. He needs PA. I tend to think MI and WI are much harder to flip.

People don't really vote for VPs but donors give or not based on that.
Picking Shapiro would be based on the fact that PA is central to the Dem hopes of keeping the White House--very difficult to otherwise get to 270 with the existing map.

Shaun King has just issued this statement (not a joke):
“The United States and Israel have just assassinated the dear brother Ismail Haniyeh - who was the political head of Hamas. This comes after they already murdered virtually every member of his family. In the face of this, Brother Ismail remained steadfast to Islam and to a free Palestine.
He was working hard, day and night, on the ceasefire even though these genocidal monsters had murdered his own kids and grandchildren. I never understood how he had such strength to push forward. But he knew and said that he was no different than the average Palestinian who has lost so much.
These genocidal monsters think that this weakens Hamas, or weakens the resistance, but it does neither. It will only strengthen both.
I must admit that I am furious, because they murder people with impunity. It’s absurd. But you can never destroy a people who do not believe that death is the end.
I am sending prayers to his remaining family and to the leaders who must now rise up in his place.”

Look at what it does not do.
Protect privacy.
As someone yesterday pointed out, a simple robust privacy bill would kill all social media.
Because their entire business model is harvesting and selling personal information without the users knowledge or consent.
Just a simple opt-in requirement with mandatory disclosure of
what is sold and who buys it would kill them.
It'll never happen, not just because of the millions in bribes, but because the deep state would lose huge power.

It took what is approximated to be 250,000 ballots brought into PA from NY state for Biden to win PA in 2020.
That number is gonna need to be a whole lot better this time around. Shapiro being the game changer? Kamala and Barack need their heads examined - for evidence of brains.

Posted by: Divide by Zero at July 31, 2024 01:01 PM (RKVpM)
If it happens, it's not desperation. It is cover for stealing PA. Because "people" assume the VP will deliver a state so any shenanigans there will be put on a very low rung of attention. Expect the PA "polls" to have her up by 3 or 4 by election day.
Also I have this awful feeling the reason why Kuntala isn't being made president beforehand is so the media can blast Historic First loud on the day after the Next Steal, and take any and all air out of all questions.

I'm no expert but my understanding is that the two craft have different roles. The F-22 is more of a dog-fighter/air dominance platform, while the Lightning is more of a dual air/ground striker. In head to head, the F-22 is superior, I think.
Posted by: Frasier Crane
The F-35 (A,B and C) can definitely do "air to air", but not as well as the F-22. The F-22 is faster and more manueverable, but still. The US theory of "air to air" is generally standing off and shooting with longer range missiles (like the AIM-120C). But the Russkies have the R77 hypersonic air-to-air, which has longer range and is MUCH faster.
The F-35 can target (and being stealthy) can get closer to the adversary, while a bigger, heavier F-15, can carry a lot of missiles, ala, the new F-15EX, and do the shooting.
The newest wrinkle is the AIM-174B, which is a Standard SM-6 adapted to be carried by an airplane (like an F-18 or F-15). It has REALLY long range.

It absolutely an electoral move and a sign they are desperate. Shapiro’s election was largely due to a weak opponent who ran a terrible campaign and the overall voter fundamentals in the last election. I don’t think that’s enough to bring Democrats PA in this election. The electorate has changed drastically and a lot of the honest polling reflects that. Republicans have stepped up their GOTV in places like Buck’s County substantially and in PA overall.

In part, Philadelphia has a number of centers of worship for a multitude of faiths. According to the Pew Research Center, the most practiced religion is Christianity with 68%, (41% Protestant and 26% Catholic) followed by Irreligion with 24%, Judaism with 3%, and other religions with 5%.
The most predominant, Christianity, has been seen in the city since its foundation. However many new religions have arrived, including Islam and Hinduism. With immigration from the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India, these two religions have increased their presence. The largest concentrations of Muslims and Hindus live in the Northeast and North parts of the city, Center City, West Philadelphia, and sprawling into the nearby suburbs.
According to several statistics, Philadelphia has surpassed Detroit and New York City to become the American metropolitan area with the highest proportion of Muslims.[5]

Polling at this stage is all about trends. Pick one pollster and keep with that over time. Trying to aggregate them simply makes a statistical mess as you lose the good info by adding bad.
Later in September, you see better polling using likely voters than registered or all individual sampling.
State polls are particularly subject to error and wild swings right now because getting a representative sample is more difficult than a nationwide poll. To get accurate state polls, you have to oversample groups . But cheap media pollsters don't do that. Instead, they use a couple of minority respondents to impute the attitude of the sampling group as a whole. Bad practice and bad results leading to wide swings.

I think you get at least 1% more than you normally do, and that's probably what the state will come down to.
Voters think their state gets favoritism with a hometown VP, and usually they do.

On July 29, 2024 (10 years later), Air & Space Forces Magazine online interviewed U.S. Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James C. Slife. This Ukraine war-informed quote struck home: "We used to make the claim that since 1953 no American has been killed by air attack. We can't make that claim anymore," Slife said. "It calls into question, 'What does air superiority actually look like?' [Does] it look like 30,000 feet over the Yalu River (Korea) in 1953 or does it look like below 3,000 feet with quadcopters with a hand grenade slung to the bottom of them? I think the answer is: It's all of the above."

The Presidential favorite son effect has more data to support it than the VP effect.
But even that is more prone to larger issues than a simple effect would imply. It's more an artifact of the time when elections were really won by the strength of party bosses at the state level...when elections were REAL funky.
Heck. Romney arguably had 3 home states, and he lost 2 of them.

I don;t think banning fracking, open borders, outsourcing manufacturing, EVs appeals to anyone in those states.
My hope is that this is all phony hype.
Did you see the story about how Biden allowed NIH scientists to join the Autoworker's Union in order to get their endorsment.
Like that is going to change the minds of actual autoworkers.

It doesn't need to. Redistricting - combining parts of Philly with the suburbs took care of that. Just Delco alone (many blue collar, union) now feeds in huge to the Democratic numbers.
Thank O and Holder, and beware.

Clamp on ONE rail for a Hellfire Missile to one of the struts n' skid assemblies. Run the interface cable through an open sliding window, to the hand-held Hellfire control and display, operated by the Co-Pilot.
Fly to within 2 miles of the target, FIRE on target, observe and record impact.
Return to base, 10 miles or so. Dismount Hellfire mount, put it along with Hellfire Control & Display into Hilux, and disappear it along the dusty back roads to a designated egress point. Israel picks up the Hellfire gear, which is never seen in Iran, again.
No need to fly a bird all the way in *from* Israel.

Dem politics is essentially a black box so any guess about specifics involves information we are not privvy to including very expensive private polling in states and vast background checks looking for landmines to prevent the Eagleton or Quayle problem.
Then, there is the individual politician's decision whether or not to be anointed VP. A lot of that calculus depends on whether the pol thinks it is a promotion to future and better things or a dead end job.

I am simply predicting based on public information about the importance of PA to the Dem path. As I mention earlier, picking Shapiro might also excuse abnormal voting patterns in PA as a supposed VP effect. Political research literature indicates little state effect in modern elections for VP and some for President (probably a selection bias problem as a person has to be thought well enough by their home state to get to Presidential nominee in the first place).

More that you are consistent with your doom and gloom about Trump and refuse the reality that massive cheating for the Dems occurred in 2020 in order for Biden to eke out a win.
Might want to take a look now at the formal Georgia Election Board findings now of the 2020 election in Fulton County. It specifically includes that the two pollworkers in Fulton caught on screen running voters through the scanners were in fact scanning the same ballots multiple times. Roughly 300k votes have no image, 150 k votes have no valid signature as well.
Multiply this in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Detroit, Phoenix, etc.
