Oh, lordy, but this is magnificent. The Israelis even got some of their men certified to operate forklifts in order to pull this off. See the cool video! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 120 commandos deep inside Syria: IDF reveals daring raid on Iranian missile factory The Israeli Air Force on Thursday revealed details and footage from one of its most daring and complex commando operations ever, in which 120 members of special forces units raided and destroyed an underground Iranian missile manufacturing plant deep in Syria in September. At the time, the regime of Bashar al-Assad was still in power in Syria, and Israel had not yet launched its devastating campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Some of the details of the September 8 operation previously reported by foreign media outlets — including the name of the raid — are now known to have been wrong, or slightly incorrect. The raid — dubbed internally by the Israel Defense Forces "Operation Many Ways" — was aimed at destroying an underground facility used by Iranian forces to manufacture precision missiles for Hezbollah in Lebanon and for the Assad regime in Syria. The facility, codenamed by the military "Deep Layer," was dug into a mountain at the Scientific Studies and Research Center, known as CERS or SSRC, in the Masyaf area of Syria, west of Hama. The site lies more than 200 kilometers (124 miles) north of the Israeli border, and some 45 kilometers (28 miles) from Syria's western coastline. The IDF said the site was Iran's "flagship project" in its effort to arm Hezbollah.

Jonathan Turley's verdict. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Trump sentencing: Curtain to fall on Merchan's Hamlet on the Hudson At 9:30 a.m. on Jan. 10, 2025, the curtain will fall on the longest performance of "Hamlet" in history. Acting Justice Juan Merchan will finally decide whether "to be or not to be" the judge to sentence Trump to jail. (Spoiler alert: He appears set to avoid a jail sentence and likely reversal.) Since Trump's conviction in May 2024, Merchan has contemplated his sentencing options. This was to be the orange-jump-suit moment many longed for over years of unrequited lawfare. They will likely be disappointed. As some of us noted after the verdict, this type of case would often result in an unconditional discharge or a sentence without jail time. That prediction became more likely after Trump was reelected in November. Limits on Trump's freedom or liberty would likely result in a fast reversal, and Merchan knew it.

Middle age is when you're forced to. My New Year's resolution was to read more, so I turned on the subtitles on my TV. New Year's resolutions are just a to-do list for the first week of January.

Trump Names One-Time Liberal Activist Turned MAGA Supporter As State Dept.

On Friday night, President-elect Donald Trump named her as spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State in his upcoming administration.

Elon Musk Calls for Long-Overdue National Inquiry in UK on Rape Gang Scandal In a series of posts on X, Elon Musk has been calling attention to a years-long scandal in Britain that was hushed up for years and is still receiving insufficient attention from British authorities: the phenomenon of rape gangs. These gangs have victimized tens of thousands of British girls, and quite likely many more than that. Yet for decades, authorities have been slow to altogether inactive in moving against them, and have occasionally even punished their victims and rewarded the perpetrators. The reason for this lies in the perpetrators' identity and motivating ideology, which few dare to face.

Important to read. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Authorities are Looking in All the Wrong Places for the Causes of Jabbar's Radicalization In the wake of the vehicular jihad attack in New Orleans in the early hours of New Year's Day, authorities have been busy trying to figure out what "radicalized" Shamsud-Din Jabbar — that is, what turned him from an Army veteran who was presumably loyal to the United States into a mass murderer.

In His Latest Presidential Act, Biden Again Attacks Religion If there was ever a question about how much Joe Biden hates God and all religions (with the possible exception of Islam), that question has now been completely answered with his choice of honoring two of the most anti-religion individuals in our nation with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest award for a civilian. A self-proclaimed Catholic, whose actions have always been directly antithetical to Catholic theology, Biden is awarding this honor to Cecile Richards, the President of Planned Parenthood. It is a major tenet of Catholicism that abortion is strictly forbidden, with the possible exception of a taking actions to save the mother's life that are not a direct attack on the child. Catholic teachings include the concept of ensoulment: the understanding that a soul enters the fetus at conception. Since the time of Tertullian in the third century, it has been a core belief of the Church that the soul enters at that moment, and abortion is forbidden. Similarly, the traditional view in Judaism is that abortion is also forbidden unless the fetus is a direct threat to the mother's life. Abortion is only allowed in Jewish law if the fetus is a "rodef," meaning "pursuer." Despite what the many leftist rabbis in this country say (who are more committed to the religion of leftist politics than they are to Jewish theology), for over 2,000 years it has been established Jewish law that abortion is forbidden in any case other than this. It is one thing for Joe Biden to tacitly support the anti-religion practices of Planned Parenthood. But for him to consciously award Richards with this high honor is a direct assault on the theology that he claims to subscribe to. It is an attack on every Catholic, pro-life Christian, and authentic Jew. Bestowing this honor upon the President of Planned Parenthood is yet another example of Joe Biden thumbing his nose at God, religion, and people of faith. But while Sleepy Joe has always been against any religion other than worshiping the Biden family, his honoring of George Soros is the final proof of how much he truly hates Israel, Judaism, and Jews.

Man Using Stud Finder Sentenced to 6 Years in Prison For Failing To Point It At Himself And Go 'BEEEEEEEEEP' FLINT, MI — Local man Keith Peters was sentenced today to six years in prison for failing to properly use a stud finder by first pointing it at himself and saying, "BEEEEEEEEP!" According to witnesses, Peters was just getting around to installing a TV mount for his wife, Mercy, when he had to pull the stud finder out of his tool bag. Despite knowing full well that federal law requires all men to point the stud-finder at themselves and make a beeping noise prior to using it, Peters reportedly ignored his better judgment and started sweeping the device against the wall. "You can still visit him in prison, of course, but I'm very disappointed right now," the presiding judge told Mrs. Peters.
