basilico: They failed with Russia, Russia, Russian. Now it's Egypt. If there was a credible case here Garland would have pursued it. The Dem majority from 2020 -2022 would have pursued it. Both came after Barr. I'm sure they have binders full of attacks that would not hold up to scrutiny but can be pushed in the media to pile on the negative coverage of Trump. Trump should keep the pressure on but reserve his cannons until after the DNC Convention. He needs to play it smart. -Lord 2 Likes |

Rasmussen Reports is different from RMG Research. Rasmussen Reports poll posted yesterday has Trump up +4 against Harris in a head-to-head and has acknowledged that RFK is hurting Trump since Harris stepped in. A multi-candidate race has Trump only up +1 point. https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/biden_administration/election_2024_trump_49_harris_44 Lots of folks who didn't like Biden and were planning to vote RFK as a protest vote of sorts are returning to Harris. So most of the folks still planning to vote for RFK now would break for Trump if RFK was not on the ballot. Most of these polls showing wild Harris upswings weren't polling this election cycle. RealClearPolling/RealClearPolitics is the authority on polling aggregation. Anyone can follow the seasoned pollsters like YouGov, Reuters, Wall Street Journal, the Economist. You can see their polls going back years. These new guys are all coming out to muddy the pool. I wonder why that is. The established pollsters all gave Biden the lead in 2020. If Harris is up +5, NY Times will see it. Harvard will see it. Bloomberg came with the +11 Michigan poll when they only started polling in July and had not polled a national race this election cycle. Then Daily Kos/Civiqs came with another +4. Another newcomer. Now, RMG Research which has not been tracked on RCP is taking a name very similar to a Republican-friendly pollster and pushing another wild +5. The Dems are going all out with the suppressive/made-up polling to drive narratives, Harris fawning on the media, and money laundering to make a steal believable. If Harris fails after all this support, it would be a worse electoral performance than Clinton. -Lord 2 Likes |

Regex: The earlier account about Israel firing a missile from outside Iran to take out only one room and kill 2 people always sounded off. The Raisi helicopter crash where the President and the Foreign Minister were asked to take that specific copter at the last minute was a mark of foul play. Now assuming this account is correct, they're saying they planted a bomb from around the time of Raisi's death, possibly earlier, and they somehow assigned this exact room to Haniyeh. The Ayatollah needs to execute a lot of IRGC senior officers or send them outside Iran where they'll be targeted by Israel. This is not one mole that can be rooted out. It's a gang. There is more than one powerful member of the IRGC who is blackmailed or hates the regime. The plausible explanation that they're pushing for a hot war has some merit. After all, Sinwar is infamous for being the guy who has always pushed for an all-out war of the entire Iran-backed Resistance. Somehow, he is the only man standing. But this also requires getting in bed with the Israelis. It also means that if the Iranian response falls short, this same hard-liner party will orchestrate another high-profile assassination. I must also add that there were some chatter that Raisi was assassinated to make way for some other person to become the Ayatollah since Raisi was the leading candidate. And now chatter from Indonesia and Malaysia are saying Iran had a hand in Haniyeh's death. If there are hard-liners who want all-out war and are willing to kill the President and a high-profile guest on Iranian soil, they will kill Ayatollah Khamenei if he does not give them what they want. And since Raisi has been taken off the board, his replacement will put a Hex on Israel. This is Iran so all of this is plausible. Persian and Iranian Game of Thrones is very wild. -Lord 3 Likes 1 Share |

Vic2023: This. As I said yesterday, Iran and Hezbollah have to go on a war footing. US, UK, EU do not want to fight a war in the Middle East in 2024. Call their bluff. That'll be the only thing that'll get Israel to think twice before any strikes. If they continue adopting this meek, we don't want all-out war posture, Israel will be emboldened to take out higher-placed targets. In Hezbollah, that's Nasrallah. In Iran, that's IRGC top brass and politicians in Tehran. War is here. If they're not ready to cross this rubicon, they should impress on Hamas to accept any ceasefire deal on the table. Then undertake an historic, comprehensive military buildup. Otherwise, the longer this goes on, the higher the chance that Israel does take out Nasrallah or an IRGC General in Tehran. -Lord 7 Likes 1 Share |

raumdeuter: Trump did well. I think it was a great decision to show up and he did better in answering questions than at the debate. The JD Vance. What he'll do on Day 1. Cop immunity. He navigated them quite okay with proper nuance. Harris is currently running a dream campaign. Doing the same thing as Biden in 2020, Katie Hobbs, and Fetterman. Avoiding any scrutiny and letting the media and her surrogates do the heavy-lifting and gin up momentum. All she has to do is show up at events and read from the teleprompter or have small talk. Now it appears she is not going to take an interview before selecting a VP. In fact, it appears she's going to ride the high though the Democrat convention. So yea, it was a great decision for Trump to show up, even if to an hostile event. Trump has to make his own luck. -Lord |

erniok: The only deterrence for Israel right now is mobilizing the Iranian military. That's the only thing that'll stop Israel from striking. Go on a war footing and the US will blink. Anything else is just pussyfooting. Iran could take out Israeli infrastructure and lose 30% of their oil output. If they sic one of their Doomsday sleeper cell on an Israeli minister, Israel will respond by killing the IRGC #1. They've been outwitted. They should press for Hamas to accept a ceasefire and start preparing for the next confrontation. -Lord 3 Likes 1 Share |

Then send Khamenei daughters to Xi because they need to rebuild every layer of their defense structure and they don't have the money to pay for it.

raumdeuter: The ban is a consequence. It reiterates the global position that Israel's impunity has a ceiling. Do Hamas want any 2 state solution? Yes. https://apnews.com/article/hamas-khalil-alhayya-qatar-ceasefire-1967-borders-4912532b11a9cec29464eab234045438 The purpose of the Abraham accord is to have a solution where other reasonable Arab countries recognize Israel, and are responsible for Palestine but Hamas torpedoes it when they went to kidnap and kill on October 7 As I said, Israel can do this the easy way or the hard way. The door is always open for whenever they're ready to accept a State of Palestine. If they want to sacrifice more Israelis and fellow Semites before doing that, that is fine. There are crazies on both sides. After all, some Israelis were protesting the right to rape prisoners yesterday. But whomever they bring and whatever they do, the endgame is sacrosanct. There will be a State of Palestine. -Lord 4 Likes |

Fash20: Haniyeh's death na sure odd. Israel decided not to take him out in Qatar so as not incur the wrath of the Qatari Royal family. But he'd have been killed eventually whenever he steps out into a hostile or neutral territory, where he does not have an ironclad security blanket like was provided by the Qataris. Anyone can be killed. A last second head turn saved Trump from the bullet of a 20 year old with no military training. Ukraine has been inserting operatives into Russia. Iran couldn't independently locate Raisi's crashed helicopter. Tens of millions of people have literally walked through the border into the US. And the IC have acknowledged that there are sleeper cells in the US ready to be activated at a moment's notice. Even Israel itself is vulnerable. Hamas started out with bombings and terror attacks in Israel. Hamas stopped that campaign themselves. Israel had no answers. Putin can order the death of anyone in Israel. GUR operatives will walk in through the front door with Israeli passports. The only thing stopping high-profile assassinations in 2024 is the blowback. Hamas can't score a successful rocket hit in Tel-Aviv, so killing Haniyeh is not a particularly risky move. Some of the abducted will be killed for sure because of this development, but Netanyahu does not care about their lives. -Lord 8 Likes 1 Share |
