NEWSMAX: New Hamas (and Hezbollah) leaders top Israel's 'hunting list'.

Advice for both: don't bother 'checking six' -- Israel won't be coming from there....

BEHIND THE BLACK: SpaceX sues the California Coastal Commission for preventing future rocket launches from Vandenberg AFB.

When he wins, I hope Musk demands actual and punitive damages as well as having the state pay his legal fees. The sooner the state of California goes bankrupt the better.

WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE: Cuba's grid goes offline amid massive blackout after major power plant fails.

For the naifs among us, a 'thermoelectric power plant' is one in which the generators are spun by heat energy -- usually created by burning some kind of fossil fuel (wood, coal, diesel, natural gas, burnable waste, etc.).

THE DEMOCRATS’ GENDER GAP: “The signs of possible Trump strength among young men are obvious online."

ARE WE SURE IT WASN'T ON PURPOSE? Were Obama-Biden-Harris so astonishingly incompetent that they accidentally HELPED Israel?

FACES IN THINGS: Eerie discovery on Mars looks exactly like a human face.

It's not, but that isn't to say that it isn't a reminder that today may just be another phase in Walter Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz.

I COULDN'T RESIST EITHER:

Found at Don Surber's Substack post.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON ON ELECTION 2024: Those who lecture versus those tired of being lectured.

I'm one of those who are tired. Very, very tired. As are most of the people I know....

THE FINAL SIGN OF THE PROPHECY: Here's how you'll know when the race is really over.

FALLING LEAVES 2024 WEEK 5: Here is this weeks threesome.

We've had a few cold (almost freezing) nights, so finally there's some significant color change from last week and the leaves are finally falling.

The dogwoods on the south side, usually somewhat protected this early, are beginning to show their colors.

Finally a Saturday afternoon view from the loft.

Until next week, then.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Sleeping dogs don't lie as well as the Harris campaign.

ON BRET BAIER'S INTERVIEW WITH KAMALA HARRIS: Team Kamala invoked the Mercy Rule.

DON SURBER WRITING ON HIS SUBSTACK: "Trump has a track record. Kamala does not even have track shoes."

RANDOM THOUGHT: On the television advertisement for Particle for men's grooming products (a normal man over 40 ...), doesn't the spokesmanperson look like he belongs to 'White Dudes for Kamala'?

WILSON THE RESCUE DOG found kids stranded in the Amazon Jungle.

Sadly, Wilson himself is now missing.

REALITY AGAIN DEBUNKS THE LEFT'S UGLY LIES about Georgia's election law.

TRUMP WILL BE IMPEACHED AGAIN if Democrats control Congress.

So let's not let them control Congress; vote Republican all the way down the ballot.

GAUNTLET THROWN, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED: Now the Democrats are panicking.

TIM WALZ: the other reccord the Democrats don't mention.

If Walz’s Minnesota is a microcosm of what America under a Kamala Harris presidency is to become, America will be much worse off as a result.

POLL: Trump edges Harris in swing state early voting.

That was on Monday; today the margin is getting wider.
