Note: ‘Temporary Protective Status’ is reserved for people who happen to be within the USA while something terrible happens to their home country, a natural disaster or even a revolution/war, that would prevent them from safely returning home. It does not, nor has it ever, applied to people who are outside of the USA when such an event occurs and who therefore want to enter US to seek shelter/protection. There are other legal means that may apply for them to enter – but TPS is not an option that is open to them, by the very definition of the status. Therefore, anyone ‘admitted/flown’ to the USA and then claiming a TPS is doing so illegally (knowingly or unknowingly)…and anyone granting them a TPS status while they are outside the USA and then transporting them in is breaking the law as well.
The GOP governor of Ohio and many pro-migration media outlets insist the federal government’s huge Haitian migration into the city of Springfield is legal.
“They are there legally,” Gov. Mike DeWine wrote in a September 20, op-ed for the New York Times. “I am saddened by how they and others continue to repeat claims that lack evidence and disparage the legal migrants living in Springfield.”
Springfield GOP Mayor “[Rob] Rue reminded me — and as Trump and Vance refuse to acknowledge — the Haitians who have come to Springfield are here legally,” Washington Post op-ed writer Eugene Robinson wrote on September 19. “I should repeat that: Federal ‘temporary protected status’ allows them to live and work here,” he added.

Border Czar Kamala Harris Mocked Trump For Warning About “Pet eating” Haitians She Delivered To America—Biden-Harris State Dept Just Issued LEVEL 4 WARNING to US Citizens—Do NOT Travel to Haiti!

FACT: Tens of millions of unvetted citizens and terrorists from foreign nations around the world have crossed the border into the United States with the approval of Joe Biden’s Border Czar, Kamala Harris.
In addition to the millions of immigrants from nations with high rates of crime, Kamala Harris has allowed millions of unvetted criminals from some of the world’s most notorious international gangs and violent drug cartels, many of whom were in prisons, to sneak across our border. Many of the immigrants from dangerous countries have been flown to America and deposited by our United States government into big cities, small towns, and, of course, your neighborhoods.
On June 28, 2024, the failed border czar and her boss gave special protection to citizens from the violent nation of Haiti by way of temporary protected status for Haitian citizens who arrived in America on or before June 3, 2024. The order shielded over 306K Haitian immigrants from being deported back to their homeland because of the extreme gang violence.
America’s disastrous Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas explained, “We are providing this humanitarian relief to Haitians already present in the United States given the conditions that existed in their home country as of June 3, 2024.”
Kidnapping is commonplace in Haiti, but somehow, the Biden-Harris regime, who have delivered over 360K Haitians to communities across the U.S., believe Haitians, who’ve made a living by kidnapping innocent Americans and then collecting large sums of money for their release, will somehow, give it all up in exchange for a job as an indentured servant in a meat packing facility or some other low-wage job where they can be taken advantage of by their employer.
In 2021, USA Today reported about Haitian gangs who demanded an astounding $17 million for the release of 16 American missionaries, along with one Canadian, who they kidnapped.
Bold criminal activity was rampant even before the July assassination of President Jovenel Moi?se at his home. That crisis, along with an August earthquake that killed more than 2,200 and destroyed more than 130,000 homes, fueled a near-total collapse of civil order.
Haiti has since become an unimaginable hellhole where violent gangs have taken over, including cannibal gangs.
Not for the faint of heart.
Cannibalism in Haiti.

As most Americans are now aware, thanks to President Trump having the courage to spell out the consequences of Kamala’s disastrous open border policies during their recent debate. Trump rightly pointed out the impact of welcoming tens of thousands of immigrants from a vastly different culture to a small town in Ohio and the serious ramifications US citizens are forced to deal with as a result.

While the media has crucified President Trump over his comments, a lot of voters took to social media to explore the truth about the missing cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio. One pastor’s video went viral when, during a sermon, he discussed Trump’s controversial comments. The fiery pastor explained that President Trump’s warning about Haitians eating cats and dogs was a brilliant move because it exposed the Democrat’s plan to transform America into a nation we will no longer recognize. The pastor explained that the media and Democrats have tried to make President Trump’s comments about Haitians invading Springfield, Ohio, about race, but instead, he said, “it’s about “culture.” He also clarified that after speaking with a friend who’s a pastor in Haiti, he can confirm that not only do the Haitians kill cats and dogs as part of their voodoo culture, but they also “eat the animals.”

Now, after weeks of mocking President Trump over his comments about the Haitian invasion of the small town of Springfield, Ohio, the Biden-Harris US State Department has issued a new LEVEL 4 warning about travel to Haiti, telling Americans to STAY AWAY from the country that has become even more violent.
From the US State Department warning:
Updated to reflect additional information on
crime.
Do not travel to Haiti due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and limited health care.
Country Summary: Since March 2024, Haiti has been under a State of Emergency.
Crimes involving firearms are common in Haiti. They include robbery, carjackings, sexual assault, and kidnappings for ransom. Kidnapping is widespread, and U.S. citizens have been victims and have been hurt or killed. Kidnappers may plan carefully or target victims at random, unplanned times. Kidnappers will even target and attack convoys. Kidnapping cases often involve ransom requests. Victims families have paid thousands of dollars to rescue their family members.
Travis 4 Trump shared a screenshot of the new Level 4 warning from the US State Department. He mocked Kamala Harris and the Democrats for telling Americans it’s perfectly safe to import Haitians into their neighborhoods and cities, but it’s too dangerous to travel to the country where they’ve been imported from.

Haiti is not the only third-world country where Kamala Harris has given its violent citizens a free pass to live in any city or small town in America. Venezuelans are taking over apartment complexes and cities across America. While crime rates in Venezuela continue to plummet after emptying its prisons and mental institutions and directing them to the US border, the US State Department has also issued a Level-4 DO NOT TRAVEL to Venezuela warning.
While every day, new stories are emerging about the violence committed by illegal aliens who’ve been either welcomed into America or allowed to cross our open-borders with no push back by overwhelmed border agents, the consequences of the Biden-Harris open border crisis in America have only just begun to be revealed. The Gateway Pundit will continue to keep its readers informed about the truth on this important topic that you won’t find in the mainstream media.

Trump Supportor Hits Back at Oprah and Kamala For Using Her Video to Imply She Supports Harris-“I Do Not Support Harris for President”

Kamala Harris has avoided the press like the plague unless, of course, it is with a fawning interviewer like Oprah.
Last week, Harris sat down with Oprah for a “town hall” that was crafted to manufacture the optics of support from everyday Americans rather than just the out-of-touch Hollywood millionaires who seem to be among her only vocal backers.
The event was so staged that a TikTok creator who was featured during the “townhall” slammed the use of her video without permission for making it appear that she supports Harris.
Blaire Allison made it very clear in a video that she will NOT be voting for Harris.
Allison shared her rebuttal on TikTok, saying, “To my Americans: Let me make something perfectly clear, OK? I do not support Harris for president. OK?”
“I want to be unburdened by who has been in the White House the last three and a half years. OK?”
“As I stand here today, on this stage, standing on this stage today, the day after yesterday, I just want you to know, OK, how I stand and how I stand today is that I do not support Harris for president.”
Watch:
@blaire_allison UNBURDEN US DEAR JESUS. #oprah #famousfr #tiktokfamous #election2024 #debate #trump2024 #yucky #actress ? original sound – Blaire???Allison
Using fake support was not the only epic fail of the event. Although the interview with Oprah was highly choreographed and controlled, no one could save Kamala from her own battle with her famous word salads and complete inability to answer even basic questions coherently.
Her ending monologue left one of her biggest cheerleaders scratching her head.
Harris said, “We love our country. I love our country. I know we all do, that’s why everybody’s here right now. We love our country. We– we take pride in the privilege of being American and this is a moment where…..we can and must come together as Americans, understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us.”
“Let’s come together with the character that we are so proud of about who we are.”
“We believe in what is possible, we believe in what can be, and we believe in fighting for that.”
Oprah could only manage a confused, “Hmm.”
At the 0:15 mark, Oprah sits back in her chair and puts her hand to her face.
If I were a body language expert, I’d say this was a response to feeling second-hand embarrassment for Kamala Harris, and wanting to distance yourself to avoid being seen as stupid by association. pic.twitter.com/4Bz0jNdwup

Families in swing state afraid to let kids play outside after Venezuelan migrant attacks mom, child: lawmaker
A man allegedly associated with Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang was arrested in Wisconsin

Venezuela won’t share information about Tren de Aragua with us: Former U.S. Marshal Robert Almonte
Former U.S. Marshal Robert Almonte says many government officials are not taking the problem seriously, on ‘The Story.’
A member of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang was arrested in a tiny Wisconsin community for allegedly sexually assaulting a mother and abusing her daughter after he had been arrested and released earlier this year in Minneapolis.
Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden, whose grandchildren live less than a mile away from the Prairie du Chien home where the mother and daughter were held against their will and repeatedly victimized, told Fox News Digital that it was only a matter of time before tragedy would strike the community amid the White House’s open-border policies and sanctuary city initiatives.
Alejandro Jose Coronel Zarate, 26, assaulted the woman and child “under particularly brutal circumstances,” and attacked his victims “over the course of a period of time,” Prairie du Chien Police Chief Kyle Teynor said at a September 9 press conference following Coronel Zarate’s arrest.

Coronel Zarate was charged with sexual assault, battery, strangulation, suffocation, false imprisonment, child abuse and disorderly conduct in Crawford County Court on Wednesday, WXOW reported. He remains in Crawford County Jail on $10,000 cash bond.

The mother later told police that Coronel Zarate had also assaulted her on September 4, according to a criminal complaint. During that incident, she told police, Coronel Zarate allegedly told her, “I get away with it. I’m a criminal.”
Teynor said that Coronel Zarate had tattoos associating him with Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang, which originated in the country’s prisons and has since grown a foothold in several areas across the United States.
Members are accused of a series of high-profile crimes across the U.S., including the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley and the shooting of two NYPD officers during an arrest in June.
“I don’t care what your political affiliation is. This is not a Democrat issue. It’s not an independent or Libertarian issue. This is a human-rights issue,” Van Orden said at the Sept. 9 press conference. “American citizens’ human rights are being violated. They’re being kidnapped, raped and murdered by criminal illegal aliens, and it’s just got to stop.”
Van Orden told Fox News Digital that he stands behind his earlier comments despite the pushback he has since received.

“They’re calling us racists for putting out the fact that a man with organized crime tattoos was let into the country by the Harris border czar – he happens to be Venezuelan,” Van Orden said.
Van Orden clarified that he was not opposed to legal immigrants, or immigrants who come to the country on temporary agricultural worker visas, noting that Wisconsin’s farming industries rely on migrants.
“If we don’t have immigrant labor, our dairies, our farms will go out of business. Our dairies will close if we don’t have immigrant labor. I absolutely 100% welcome immigrant labor if they want to come here and work and send remittances back,” he said. “But letting someone into the country with tattoos associated with known immigrant gangs is not OK. We do not welcome criminal illegal immigrants to come here.”
Prairie du Chien police confirmed that Zarate had entered the country in September 2023 at or near the El Paso, Texas point of entry.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden told Fox News Digital that his hometown community of 5,500 has been shaken by the brutal crime. (Provided by the office of Congressman Derrick Van Orden)
“I’ve been to the border three times. They let a guy in the country with gang tattoos, and you get a medical screening before you come over the border. They give them a medical exam, because they don’t want people coming over with tuberculosis,” Van Orden said incredulously.
The former Navy SEAL said the attack had shaken his small community, but said it was only a matter of time until migrant crime would strike there.

“Why should a town of 5,500 people . . . be afraid of letting their kids play in their front yard?” Van Orden said. “It wasn’t like this three years ago.”
The gang member’s Prairie du Chien arrest was not his first run-in with police. In November 2023, he was detained for allegedly receiving stolen property but was subsequently released.
“Zarate got rolled up for property crimes in Minneapolis and Minnesota that are controlled by [Governor] Tim Walz,” Van Orden said. “They let him go because of the sanctuary city policies.”

A warrant was issued for his arrest in Wisconsin’s Dane County on Dec. 1 for strangulation/suffocation, false imprisonment, battery and disorderly conduct. In addition to federal policies, Van Orden blamed Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett, a Democrat, for the incident earlier this month.
“Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett bears a tremendous amount of responsibility personally, and that’s just a fact,” Van Orden told Fox News Digital. “What [he] cannot deny is that they issued a warrant for Mr. Zarate for strangulation, false imprisonment, battery and disorderly conduct. That warrant came out of his office – if he spent more time fighting crime as opposed to complaining about a Republican on his Facebook page, he would have been detained, and a mother and daughter wouldn’t have spent several days being sexually assaulted.”
Van Orden and Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany penned a letter to Barrett earlier this month demanding answers regarding the warrant for Coronel Zarate.
placeholder
“Given that Dane County was classified as ‘non-cooperative’ with federal immigration authorities as recently as June of this year by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Reps. Tiffany and Van Orden wrote to ask for additional information regarding Dane County law enforcement’s interaction with Mr. Coronel Zarate,” read a release from the two Congress members.

Barrett told Fox News Digital that the Republicans’ accusations were merely “an unsubstantiated and distasteful attempt to gather votes in a battleground state for the upcoming presidential election,” and that the statement about being uncooperative was false.
“As sheriff, I will not stand for another disrespectful attack on our law enforcement profession by actors looking to politically persuade voters. This inquiry is an insult to the brave men and women of our Sheriff’s Office who courageously put their lives on the line in service to their community,” Barrett wrote in an email.
“To the authors of this inquiry, please aim your political theatrics in a different direction as you try to recover from the thorough, factual and strategic dismantling of your presidential candidate by VP Kamala Harris,” Barrett said. “To save any follow-up inquiries, we have not taken reports of people eating cats or dogs.”

Chicago gangbangers rage against newly arrived Venezuelan migrants as Tren de Aragua moves in: ‘City is going to go up in flames’
NY Post US News articles

September 22, 2024 at 8:00 AM
CHICAGO — After serving 20 years in state prison for murder, former gangbanger Tyrone Muhammad never expected to return to the city’s tough South Side and find Venezuelan migrants and the criminal Tren de Aragua gang moving in.
But Muhammad, 53, who’s gone straight and runs a street patrol and violence prevention program called Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change says Venezuelan criminal gangs flooding shelters and taking over apartment buildings are the last straw for the struggling African-American community. He says they are furious at seeing government money going to what they call “non-citizens.”
“It is impossible to release gang members and criminals into our country through the borders and broken walls and infiltrate them in our community that’s already impoverished and broken,” Muhammad told The Post last week on the O Block, a stretch along South King Drive that’s considered the most dangerous in the city.
Tyrone Muhammad, 53, a former enforcer for the Gangster Disciples who did 20 years in state prison, now runs a violence prevention program in Chicago’s inner city. He’s warning that Chicago may “go up in flames” because of growing tension between local gangs and Venezuelan criminal migrants like Tren de Aragua. Matthew McDermott

He’s warning that Chicago may “go up in flames” because of growing tension between local gangs and Venezuelan criminal migrants like Tren de Aragua. Matthew McDermott
“When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or non-citizens, the city of Chicago is going to go up in flames and there will be nothing the National Guard or the government can do about it when the bloodshed hits the streets. It’ll be blacks against migrants.”
The latest figures show Chicago has spent almost half a billion dollars over the last two years on the more than 42,000 migrants who’ve arrived since 2022.
Many have been given money for rent, food stamp cards and even cars — and some landlords have pushed out local African-Americans because they can get more government money for housing migrants.
Some belong to the one-time Venezuelan prison gang turned vicious multinational crime syndicate Tren de Aragua who sources in Chicago told The Post are heavily armed, brazen and spilling into areas of the South Side. Those areas are traditionally controlled by hundreds of entrenched gangs from the Gangster Disciples and Black P Stones to the Vice Lords, Latin Kings and Satan Disciples.
TDA members flashing gang signs and wearing their uniforms of choice — Chicago Bulls T-shirts and caps — could be seen outside the Standard Club migrant shelter downtown, where two local Chicago police officers told The Post they were trying to encroach on a local gang’s drug-dealing corner near a 7-11 store.
Standard Club employees told The Post there hadn’t been any crime in the shelter and denied the presence of Venezuelan gang members.
Zacc Massie, 27, born and raised on Chicago’s South Side, served several years in prison and is now back on the streets. He says Venezuelan migrants are getting money, clothes, cars and apartments despite not having Social Security numbers. He says native poor Chicagoans should be getting the funds instead.

But Terry Newsome, a white Chicago dad-turned-activist found there were 720 police incident reports logged at the Standard Club alone over the past 12 months.
He’s teamed up with Muhammad and others concerned with migrant crime to make dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests to find out what’s really going on.
Newsome showed The Post police reports indicating sex trafficking, child porn, drugs, carjackings, weapons and excessive spousal violence have occurred at four downtown shelters alone.
A TDA gang member was released by a Chicago judge despite a request from Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain him — just a month before he was charged in a violent jewelry store heist in Denver, not far from Aurora, Colo., where members of the gang have reportedly taken over apartment buildings.
Earlier this month, Chicago cops were called to a building on the South Side where 32 armed Venezuelan migrants were said to be showing their weapons.
Numerous residents on the gritty, run-down South Side interviewed by The Post during the course of a week, including young hard-core gang members the elder gangsters call “the millennials,” said they’re angry and frustrated about being overlooked by city officials, who they say favor the migrants.
Terry Newsome, a Chicago activist who’s teamed up with Tyrone Muhammad and others concerned with migrant crime, has made dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests about crime in four migrant shelters in downtown Chicago. Though the Standard Club shelter told The Post there had been no crime there, Newsome showed The Post some of the 720 police incident reports logged at the Standard Club over the past 12 months. The police reports showed incidents involved alleged sex trafficking, child porn, drugs, carjackings, weapons and excessive spousal violence. Matthew McDermott

“The real issue is that America has allowed gangs to enter our country,” said a young Gangster Disciples member, David, standing on a high-volume drug-dealing corner near Martin Luther King Blvd.
“Gangs that they would consider ex-terrorist groups. They let terrorist groups into our country!” he yelled angrily to the Post.
“There’s been a lot going on with (the migrant gangs) that nobody’s even hearing about,” Zacc Massie, 27, a street leader who first went to prison in 2015 and just recently got out.
“They be moving in our own territory and robbing people but they don’t get arrested like we do. I actually talked to one on the translator app. He told me all the things he got going on; how they helped him get a car, an apartment, (EBT) card, all this stuff. They giving them thousands, we get maybe $400 a month. And they don’t even have Social Security numbers! “
Black P Stone member Corey Rogers took The Post on a drive through the area and pointed out several locations where he said Venezuelan gangs have been “showing the flag,” meaning brandishing their guns. He also showed a reporter a gang Whatsapp thread with texts from gang members threatening turf wars with the Venezuelans.

“What bothers me is that the Venezuelans are united,” Rogers said. “The black gangs are too divided and they take each other down.”
Rogers’ friend and boss in what they call the “organization,” Charles Harris, 55, gestured to an area two blocks from where he was standing in the Woodlawn section.
“It’s still violent down here but it’s calmed down a lot,’ Harris said, gesturing to the west. “Back in the day we’d get shot if we went over there. It’s calmed down a lot. The last thing we need are the Venezuelans.”
Muhammad — who was once the enforcer for Larry Hoover, head of the Gangster Disciples street gang — formed a group called Ex-Cons for Trump because he feels the Democrats have failed inner-city black people for too long.

“It’s not so much Trump himself, it’s that the Democrats are selling us down the river,” he said. “The boujee (upwardly mobile) blacks might like Kamala Harris but she isn’t going to do anything for us.”
The Rev. Corey Brooks, 55, who established his New Beginnings Church and his outreach group Project Hood on the O Block more than 20 years ago, said his conservatism grew out of years of what he called failed Democratic policies and even being ignored for funding by Black Lives Matter when he tried to get donations for his new community center.
“Chicago is a blue city and Illinois is a blue state but people are starting to wake up,” Brooks told The Post last week at his church. “It’s not about the person, it’s about the policies. I’ve seen what’s happening with my own eyes when it comes to the migrant criminal gangs and it’s very concerning.”
Brooks got a firsthand glimpse when he found out about a young Venezuelan migrant who had to flee the apartment he shared with other migrants when they turned out to be a criminal gang a few months ago.

“People will accuse me of fear-mongering because I’m a Republican and a conservative but I know what I saw,” Brooks told The Post.
“The Venezuelan gangs took over his apartment and were doing illegal activities. I know the crimes that were being committed and how in danger his life was.”
The young man, aged 27, spoke to The Post but did not want to give his name or go on camera and said he was terrified for his life.
“If they found out I was talking to anyone, they’d end my family’s life with one bullet,” he said in Spanish. “These are bad people.”
It’s not just the gang members upset about the migrants moving in and using up money that locals say would better serve them.

412 people have been murdered in Chicago so far in 2024 but she said less, not more, is being done to curb black-on-black violence.
“I can’t even reach nobody at City Hall or anywhere else that cares,” Mitchell said. “They care about the migrants but they don’t care about people like us whose roots are here. We matter, you know?”

Violent Mob Rampages Through Philadelphia, Attacks Police Officers and Patrol Cars as Lawlessness Reigns Supreme

Philadelphia continues its spiral into chaos under Democratic leadership, with violent mobs once again taking to the streets, this time attacking police officers and patrol cars in a brazen display of lawlessness.
According to reports from 6 ABC, hundreds of cars and massive crowds participated in illegal car meetups, causing widespread chaos that lasted from 9:30 p.m. Saturday until 4:30 a.m. Sunday.
At least 11 meetups took place, six of which turned into violent confrontations with police. The mayhem resulted in the hospitalization of one officer, while five police cars were heavily damaged.
The injured officer was transported to Temple University Hospital in stable condition after his vehicle was struck by a car fleeing the scene.
Deputy Commissioner Mike Cram of the Philadelphia Police described the recklessness.
“Everything they do is disruptive, they’re ruining the quality of life. At one point, they had a flamethrower—yes, there’s video with a flamethrower.”
“They’re able to disperse quickly and then reform at other locations. That’s why we have officers dedicated. It’s playing wack-a-mole. We hit them at once, and they move to another,” he added.
“It was the aggressiveness at some of the locations — the incident outside of City Hall was aggressive. They physically went after our officers,” Cram said. “They don’t care about your safety, their own safety. You’ve all seen the videos of their behavior. How much chaos can they cause?”
As lawlessness reigns supreme in this Democrat-run city, House Judiciary Republicans weighed in with a blunt warning: “You’re not safe in Democrat-run Philadelphia.”
Even tech mogul Elon Musk couldn’t help but weigh in, tweeting, “Pretty sure I saw this scene in The Joker.”

In an interview, Singer Janet Jackson claimed that Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris isn’t black.
In an interview with the Guardian, the youngest child of the Jackson family shared, “She’s not black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.”
Jackson added, “Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days.”
“I was told that they discovered her father was white,” added Jackson.
Shortly after Jackson made the comments, Mo Elmasri, who claimed to be a representative of Jackson, issued an apology and shared that Janet Jackson made the comments based on “misinformation.”
Jackson responded to Elmarsi’s remarks and stated he was not “authorized” to apologize on her behalf.

Ukraine has a victory plan — but what does victory mean?
Zelensky is about to unveil his latest proposal for peace, but it is unclear whether his allies think the enemy can actually be expelled, a security expert writes.
As he prepares to travel to the United States to address the UN general assembly on Wednesday and meet President Biden in Washington, President Zelensky says he will be unveiling a plan for victory in the war with Russia.
This is forcing the West to come to terms with a question it has studiously tried to avoid: just what does “victory” mean?
Zelensky’s plan is said to cover Ukraine’s security, its relationships with the EU and Nato, continued military and economic assistance and postwar reconstruction.…
Zelensky has rejected any ceasefire, any “freezing of the war or any other manipulations that will simply postpone Russian aggression to a later stage”. His influential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak likewise rejected ceding any territory to Russia.
Now he's got a different, *much* more powerful and hard-line advisor, Andrey Yermak.Western support for Ukraine, for all its high-flown rhetoric, is limited and uncertain. This is precisely why Zelensky is unveiling his plan in this manner.
The US government is hesitating to permit the UK and France to allow Ukraine to use the Storm Shadow missiles they supplied to hit strategic targets deep inside Russia. Although London is still confident that the permission will be forthcoming, perhaps this week after Zelensky’s trip to the US, it is being regarded in Kyiv as a powerful illustration of the conditionality of western support.
France and Britain have already sent Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine, but only for use within its Russian-occupied territory…
Essentially, this is a war of endurance. Putin calculates he can bleed Ukraine into exhaustion and outlast western commitment. Kyiv hopes that by expanding the war and inflicting greater and greater costs, Moscow will be unable or unwilling to continue.
What constitutes a victory for Ukraine? With neither side able to deliver a knockout blow, to some, a real victory would be an end to the killing and the emergence of a sovereign, prosperous and West-looking Ukraine, even if it means abandoning contested, depopulated, largely ruined territories in the southeast to Moscow…

How Israel could invade Lebanon and wage all-out war with Hezbollah

‘Hezbollah’s Hostages’: A Former Sex Slave Tells Her Story
https://www.thefp.com/p/hezbollahs-hostages-sex-slave-syria-free-press
Welcome back to Hezbollah’s Hostages, the animated video series that each week brings you the stories of brave people—in their own voices—risking their lives to resist the tyranny of the terror group in Arab lands…
Today, we present the story of Alya, a happily married, 20-year-old woman living in the city of Raqqa, Syria, who caught the eye of a Hezbollah operative. The story of her abduction and enslavement in “Episode 2: The Sex Slave” sheds unprecedented light on Hezbollah’s sex- and human-trafficking operations, which prey on the very people it claims to protect.
Recall that Hamas raped and abused the women it took captive after invading southern Israel in a single, terrible day. Now consider that Hezbollah has enjoyed such power for decades in its native Lebanon and for years in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
Hezbollah enslaves women en masse to fund its war machine and enrich party elites. The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned two senior Hezbollah financiers whose crimes include sex trafficking: One ran a prostitution network of predominantly Syrian women in Lebanon, and the other smuggled Gambian women to buyers in multiple Arab countries.
“The senior leadership of Hezbollah hides behind a facade of piety,” observes American University of Beirut historian Makram Rabah, who writes about today’s episode in a separate essay. “It uses a wide array of religious fatwas—legal rulings – to justify the sexual enslavement of Alya and other young women, among the many crimes for which the group has never been held accountable.”
Alya is the first victim of Hezbollah’s massive human trafficking operations ever to come forth. She is breaking her silence and speaking out to encourage other women to come forward…
Irish president accuses Israel of circulating his congratulatory letter to Iranian president
Irish President Michael D. Higgins has accused Israel of distributing his congratulatory letter to new Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian shortly after his election in July.
A copy of the letter, in which Higgins conveyed his “best wishes” for the new Iranian leader’s presidency and expressed condolences for the death of his predecessor, the hardline Ebrahim Raisi, was shared on social media at the time and prompted a number of politicians to criticise Higgins for “kowtowing” to a despotic regime.
During a press conference in New York on Sunday, Higgins said he believed Israel was behind the publicisation of the letter, telling reporters: “You should ask where the criticism came from and how the letter was circulated and by whom and for what purpose.”
The letter, which was first posted publicly by the Islamic Republic’s embassy in Dublin to its website on the 26th July and also appeared to have been posted in a since-deleted tweet with a photo of the letter around that time.
The account for the Israeli embassy in Ireland, didn’t post about the letter until 1 August in a post which criticised Higgins for addressing Iran “as a so-called force for stability & collaboration without holding them accountable for their malign actions.”
When a reporter pressed further, asking how Higgins thought the letter got out, he responded with certainty: “It was the Israeli embassy.”
He was then asked how he thinks the Israeli embassy obtained his correspondence with the Iranian president, to which he replied: “I have no idea.”

Democrats Claimed Bruen Would Make U.S. More Dangerous. Murder Stats Prove Them Wrong.
By Cam Edwards | 7:31 PM | September 23, 2024

When the Supreme Court struck down New York’s “may issue” carry laws as a violation of the Second Amendment in 2022, many Democrats and gun control activists were quick to claim the result would be more violence.

Kamala Harris said she was “deeply troubled and concerned” about the decision and tried to tie it into the mass shooting at a Buffalo, New York grocery store, even though the perpetrator of that attack was an 18-year-old (too young under New York law to obtain a carry permit) who used a long gun in the attack.
In his own statement, Joe Biden said “lives are on the line”, and called on Americans to demand “commonsense laws to make their citizens and communities safer from gun violence.”
Everytown and Giffords called the decision “dangerous”, while Brady proclaimed Bruen “will assuredly result in more gun violence immediately.”
While the anti-gunners were adamant that Bruen would make the U.S. a more dangerous place, FBI statistics showed violent crime dropped by 1.7% in 2022, while murders plunged by nearly 6%. Now the FBI has released its crime stats for 2023, and once again, the agency is reporting that violent crime and homicides declined across the country; a 3% decline in violent crime and a 12% decrease in homicides.
Violent crime across the U.S. dipped to near pre-pandemic levels in 2022, according to the FBI’s data. It continued to tick down last year, with the rate falling from about 377 violent crimes per 100,000 people to in 2022 to about 364 per 100,000 people in 2023. That’s just slightly higher than the 2019 rate, according to Deputy Assistant Director Brian Griffith of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division.
“Are we looking at crime rates at a return to pre-pandemic levels? I think a reasonable person would look at that and say, ‘Yes, that’s what has happened,’” Griffith said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Law enforcement agencies in the biggest municipalities in the U.S. — communities with at least 1,000,000 people — showed the biggest drop in violent crime last year — nearly 7%. Agencies in communities between 250,000 and 499,999 people reported a slight increase — 0.3%— between 2022 and 2023.
Rapes decreased more than 9% while aggravated assault decreased nearly 3%. Overall property crime decreased more than 2%, but motor vehicle theft shot up nearly 13%. The motor vehicle theft rate — nearly 319 per 100,000 people — was the highest last year since 2007.

The FBI’s Uniformed Crime Report is only one of two major surveys on criminal activity, and while the National Crime Victimization Survey released earlier this year does differ in some regards from the UCR, it found that there was no statistical change in the number of victimization rates between 2022 and 2023. Dr. John Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center is among those who take issue with the FBI’s reported crime statistics, but it’s important to note that while the NCVS shows a rise in self-reported violent crime between 2020 and 2024, the most recent survey shows little change between 2022 (when the Bruen decision came down) and 2023.
In other words, neither report shows any kind of spike in violent crime following the Bruen decision, even if the NCVS shows a higher rate of violent crime overall than the FBI’s statistics. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, of course. Concealed carry holders don’t commit a lot of crime in general, and there were only a handful of states with “may issue” laws on the books when the Supreme Court struck them down in Bruen. The decision only impacted a few states like New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, Maryland, and California, but even in those states there’s no evidence that the demise of “may issue” had led to an increase in violent crimes in general or in homicides specifically.
Now, this doesn’t mean that Joe Biden or Kamala Harris should be given any credit for the declining crime stats reported by the FBI. The crime spike that began in the last half of 2020 was driven largely by two factors: the closure of courts and the decision by some departments to scale back arrests because of the COVID pandemic, and the riots and civil unrest that rocked the country following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. As the court systems have returned to some semblance of normalcy and the move to defund the police has largely sputtered out (at least outside of Democratic strongholds), the crime wave appears to have crested… or depending on what statistics you look at, largely subsided, even though there are millions more legal gun owners than there were just a few years ago.
