It was unclear whether the home suffered major damage. The attack marks the first time since the start of Israel’s war with Hamas that a location affiliated with Netanyahu has been targeted. Hezbollah launched three drones that crossed into Israeli airspace. Two were intercepted by Israeli attack helicopters, while the last struck Netanyahu’s private residence ( National Review). Benjamin Netanyahu: The attempt by Iran’s proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake. This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies in order to secure our future. I say to Iran and its proxies in its axis of evil: Anyone who tries to harm Israel’s citizens will pay a heavy price. We will continue to eliminate the terrorists and those who dispatch them ( X). Reporter Hananya Natfali: The Islamic regime in Iran tried to assassinate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu using its proxy Hezbollah to launch an explosive drone at his house in Caesarea ( X).

Christian Students Speak Up After Kamla Harris Says: “You guys are at the wrong rally”
|
New York Post: A pair of Christian students trolled by Kamala Harris and mercilessly mocked by the crowd at her rally at the University of Wisconsin-La Cross last week insist they were “there for the right reasons.” Grant Beth and Luke Polaske, both juniors at the school, told “Fox & Friends Weekend” that they felt persecuted akin to Jesus and his early followers after they shouted such things as, “Christ is king!” when the Democratic vice president-turned-presidential candidate started talking about abortion rights. “I was pushed by an elderly woman. We were heckled at, we were cursed at, we were mocked, and that’s the biggest thing for me personally,” Beth said. “In reflection of the event, Jesus was mocked. You know, his disciples were mocked, and that’s OK ( New York Post). Charlie Kirk: Unbelievable!! As Kamala is on stage fear mongering about abortion, someone shouts “Jesus is Lord!” To which she replies: “Oh, I think you guys are at the wrong rally.” Christians are not welcome in Kamala’s Democrat Party. Vote accordingly ( X).

|
Post Millennial: Larger-than-life popstar Lizzo faced backlash after she sang Detroit’s praises, boasting that the entire country will “be like Detroit” at an event for VP Kamala Harris’s presidential candidacy on Saturday… Detroit, once America’s fourth-largest city and richest city, has gone through decades of challenges as most of its manufacturing might has faded. Detroit currently has an 8.8 percent unemployment rate, twice the national average, and has consistently ranked as one of the country’s most dangerous cities. While things have improved incrementally for the Paris of the midwest in recent years, such as having put up its lowest homicide figures in 57 years last year, many were quick to pan Lizzo’s comments ( Post Millennial). Tim Young: Yes, America will be a hollowed out shell of what it once was… And we’ll be plagued by crime, homelessness, and a terrible economy ( X). End Wokeness: Lizzo just made an amazing Trump ad ( X).

Tennessee Panel of Judges Allows Doctors to Perform “Emergency Abortions”
|
Associated Press: A three-judge panel on Thursday ruled that Tennessee doctors who provide emergency abortions to protect the life of the mother cannot have their medical licenses revoked or face other disciplinary actions while a lawsuit challenging the state’s sweeping abortion ban continues. The ruling also outlined specific pregnancy-related conditions that would now qualify as “medical necessity exceptions” under the ban, which currently does not include exceptions for fetal anomalies or for victims of rape or incest ( Associated Press). Townhall: The state law says that ectopic or molar pregnancies qualify as exemptions as well as doctors who use their “reasonable medical judgement” in order to “prevent the death of the pregnant woman or to prevent serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function” ( Townhall).

Pennsylvania Voters Leave Democrat Party in Mass Numbers; Registration is Down 103 Percent
|
Newsweek: Although Pennsylvania still has more registered Democrats than any other party, the number of voters leaving the party has greatly increased, with nearly twice as many as last year switching to other parties, including the GOP, according to state-released voting data. The Keystone State’s 19 electoral votes—more than any other swing state—could determine the outcome of the election. Trump narrowly won Pennsylvania in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, while President Joe Biden flipped it in 2020… The data reports a notable shift in party registrations, showing that Pennsylvania’s Democratic Party has experienced a 103 percent increase in members leaving the party this year, compared with last year ( Newsweek). Townhall: In 2016, Trump just barely won Pennsylvania’s twice-failed Democratic candidate against Hillary Clinton. However, in 2020, Biden flipped the state. Flash forward four years; the Keystone State is up in the air as it can swing from one party to the other ( Townhall).

Kamala Harris’ Economic Plan Would Drastically Raise the Death Tax
|
Tippinsights: Under the Harris tax plan, the number of Americans subject to the hated death tax would significantly increase. This would happen because Harris has declared that she will let the Trump tax cut expire next year if she becomes president. Thanks to the Trump tax cut, the amount of an estate that is currently exempt from tax is roughly $13.6 million. But according to the Internal Revenue Service: “Under the tax reform law, the increase is only temporary. Thus, in 2026, the exemption is due to revert to its pre-2018 level of $5 million, as adjusted for inflation.” Harris wants this to happen. She wants to soak the millionaires and billionaires. But under her plan, thousands more families will be clobbered by this tax when a parent dies… Now many farms, ranches and family-owned businesses will have to be sold after a funeral just to pay the taxes. These are mostly owners and operators of small businesses that have been built up over a lifetime from nothing to million-dollar-plus enterprises. The owners have already paid Uncle Sam millions of dollars in income, property, payroll, energy, business and other taxes and annual levies. Now, they will have to pay a 40% estate tax rate, plus another 5% to 15% depending on what state they die in. In other words, up to half of a family inheritance must be forked over to the politicians. The IRS gets almost as much as the kids and grandkids. The agents should at least pay their respects at the funeral! But wait. It gets worse. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has introduced a bill to make the death tax even more onerous. Under her bill, the estate tax rate would rise to as high as 55% to 65% and lower the exempt about to $3.5 million. This means that as much as two-thirds of an estate could be seized by the government. This isn’t taxation. It’s confiscation of family property. Is the IRS going to seize grandmas jewelry of grandpas stable of horses and the mansion he built himself ( Tippinsights)?

Al-Qaeda Leader Urges Hamas to Return Hostages: “… we know its consequences”
|
Times of Israel: An adviser to Al-Qaeda’s likely current leader is calling for Hamas to release its Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The online declaration was made yesterday by Mustafa Hamid, also known as Abu Walid al-Masri, who is the father-in-law of Saif al-Adel, the man widely believed to now head Al-Qaeda. In it, Hamid claims the attention given to recovering the Israeli hostages held by Hamas since October 7, 2023, both dead and alive, is overshadowing the fate of Palestinian security prisoners being held by Israel. He also hails Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the massacre that triggered the ongoing war in Gaza, who was killed by Israel this week. Hamas must now “immediately” return the hostages and their bodies, and “this file must be closed and not opened again, as we know its consequences,” according to the statement ( Times of Israel). Ed Morrissey: One thing is very certain, though. Israel has restored its deterrent power in the region, so much so that even other terror groups are acknowledging the “consequences” of their previous hostaging strategies. That doesn’t mean they will stop trying to destroy Israel, but it means they do understand that the Israelis are no longer going to play along with those strategies, and instead will conduct a real war to destroy its enemies if they attack ( HotAir).
