Israeli ingenuity finds way to make Hezbollah pagers explode simultaneously in south Lebanon and Syria, injuring thousands of terrorist fighters, including the Iranian ambassador lol
Well, why does the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon have a Hezbollah pager in the first place?
I mean, they aren't working, you know, TOGETHER, are they?
Pagers used by hundreds of members of the militant group Hezbollah exploded near simultaneously in Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday, killing at least nine people – including an 8-year-old girl -- and wounding several thousand, officials said. They blamed Israel in what appeared to be a sophisticated, remote attack.
Among those wounded was Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon. ... The pagers that exploded had been newly acquired by Hezbollah after the group’s leader ordered members to stop using cell phones, warning they could be tracked by Israeli intelligence. A Hezbollah official told The Associated Press the pagers were a new brand the group had not used before.
At about 3:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday, pagers started heating up and then exploding in the pockets and hands of those carrying them -- particularly in a southern Beirut suburb and the Beqaa region of eastern Lebanon where Hezbollah has a strong presence, and in Damascus, where several Hezbollah members were wounded, Lebanese security officials and a Hezbollah official said. The Hezbollah official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the press. ... AP photographers at area hospitals said the emergency rooms were overloaded with patients. Some had missing hands or chunks blown out of their legs near the pocket area.

A fabulous success for Israel.
A bad day for Democrat appeasers of Iran, but I repeat myself.
Lots of dickless, ball-less Hezbollah, too.

Democrat Representative Dan Goldman, NY-10, used eliminationist rhetoric against Trump on MSNBC last November, backlash forced apology the next day
There's never a backlash against the Democrat women who do this, however.
MSNBC is the preferred launching pad for the Party of Violence.
President Joe Biden incited the violence against Trump on June 28th: He should be removed from office by his cabinet
The assassination attempts on Donald Trump occurred on July 13th and September 15th.
If Trump were president and had tweeted this shit about Joe just imagine the mayhem in this country against Trump, because this country is FULL of ugly liberal people who support violence against Republicans in politics.
The party calling for violence is the Democrat Party and their surrogates in media and entertainment

Pope Francis meddles in US election, says choose the lesser evil between Trump and Harris but can't say which is which
It's really amusing how the pope says everyone has to think and decide for themselves about such a weighty matter, but when Luther did it he was excommunicated for it.
Between 1972 and 2008, the percentage NOT voting in US elections averaged 47%.
“Not voting is ugly,” the 87-year-old pontiff said. “It is not good. You must vote.”
“You must choose the lesser evil,” he said. “Who is the lesser evil? That lady, or that gentleman? I don’t know. Everyone, in conscience, (has to) think and do this.”
American Catholics, numbering roughly 52 million nationwide, are often seen as crucial swing voters. In some battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, more than 20% of adults are Catholic. ...
“Whether it is the one who is chasing away migrants, or the one who that kills children,” said the pope. “Both are against life.”

So predictable: Democrats run on punishing the rich with new taxes to pay for more obscene spending, the rich run scared to transfer wealth under current rules to escape them
Under current law, individuals can transfer up to $13.61 million (and couples can send up to $27.22 million) to family members or beneficiaries without owing estate or gift taxes.
The benefit is scheduled to expire at the end of 2025 along with the other individual provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. If it expires, the estate and gift tax exemption will fall by about half. Individuals will only be able to gift about $6 million to $7 million, and that rises to $12 million to $14 million for couples. Any assets transferred above those amounts will be subject to the 40% transfer tax. ...
With Harris and Trump essentially tied in the polls, the odds have increased that the estate tax benefits will expire — either through gridlock or tax hikes. ...
More than $84 trillion is expected to be transferred to younger generations in the coming decades, and the estate tax “cliff” is set to accelerate many of those gifts this year and next. ...
While giving the maximum of $27.22 million may make sense today from a tax perspective, it may not always make sense from a family perspective. ...
For families that plan to take advantage of the estate tax window, however, the time is now. It can take months to draft and file transfers. During a similar tax cliff in 2010, so many families rushed to process gifts and set up trusts that attorneys became overwhelmed and many clients were left stranded. Advisors say today’s gifters face the same risk if they wait until after the election.
