Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has gone into hiding after IDF kills Hassan Nasrallah

Predictably, Iranian mullahs have made a series of brave noises while Israel's Defense Forces, aka the IDF, has all but eliminated Hezbollah's senior leadership, including eliminating Hassan Nasrallah, the top leader in Hezbollah. Iran's brave noises have included talk of escalating the war against Israel. That hasn't stopped Israel's assault on Hezbollah.

Now that Hassan Nasrallah has been eliminated, Iran has announced that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, "has been transferred to a secure location somewhere within the country."

Khamenei's location is unknown, except to Iran's mullahs and to Mossad, Israel's intelligence-gathering unit.

According to the Washington Examiner's article, "Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been transferred to a secure location somewhere within the country, according to Reuters. The outlet reported that Iran is in 'onstant contact'with Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other proxy groups to determine next steps."

Khamenei got out of Tehran because he was afraid he was next. The IDF had already taken out most of Hezbollah's senior leadership in the past 2 weeks. For all his brave noises, Khameneiran just like the rest of the mullahs. Finally, there's this:

The Pentagon said Austin "expressed full support for Israel’s right to defend itself and its people against Iranian backed terrorist groups," and stressed that the United States is "determined to prevent Iran and Iranian-backed partners and proxies from exploiting the situation or expanding the conflict."

Nsrallah, 64, had been Hezbollah’s leader since Israel assassinated his predecessor, Abbas al-Musawi, in 1992. Over his more than three decades leading Hezbollah, Nasrallah oversaw the significant development of the U.S.-designated terrorist group’s arsenal and cemented Hezbollah within Lebanon’s political sphere, also advancing Iran’s "axis of resistance" mission.

Nasrallah’s death is seemingly the culmination of an extraordinary intelligence success for Israel, which began with the dramatic, remote explosions of pagers less than two weeks ago. It also marks a dramatic escalation in the conflict that has engulfed the Middle East promulgated by Iran’s proxies, including Hamas attacking Israel, and Israel’s escalating responses. The conflicts have gone on for nearly a year, but the killing of Nasrallah is expected to result in an Iranian response.

There might be an Iranian response. There might not be. What's certain is that Israel has put the fear of God into Hezbollah. These days, Hezbollah leaders, if any still exist, are sleeping with both eyes open. Check this out:

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
