+++I could be wrong but I believe there is a slow but growing groundswell of discontent. When the Gov. of VA pardons a father for protecting his daughter after being arrested and the truth finally reveals the Loudon School Board members lied this is not dismissed easily by us "deplorables.

We should Remember What They Left Behind
By Salena Zito
SHANKSVILLE, Pennsylvania —Within moments after Flight 93 hit the ground here 21 years ago, locals, some on foot, others on tractors, and some on ATVs, dropped everything they were doing and hurried to the scene to see how they could help.
To their great horror, all they found was a crater in the field near the edge of the trees spanning 30 feet in both directions still smoldering from the impact.
Within six days, bales of hay were laid down at the reclaimed coal mine to create a base for a makeshift memorial for the family members who were brought here to honor the bravery of the 44 lives who were cut short when terrorists hijacked their plane, ultimately crashing into the rolling hills here in Somerset County.
There were over 200 family members transported from nearby Seven Springs Resort who piled into six coach buses. Most of the town of 200 or so stopped and lined the streets in respect for their loss as they arrived.
Someone, perhaps it was one of the state troopers, had placed an American flag on a poll at the site. It billowed at half-staff as they exited the buses.
When they left the site, they did not leave empty-handed. A local church had made each family angels to take with them.
Yet it was what those family members left behind on that unassuming bed of dirt and hay along the slopped hill overlooking the crash site that opened the door for people across the country, as well as people from across the country, to mourn along with them.
And for a moment in time, this place became profound, a symbol, really, of the heart and caring of a country at odds with the horror that happened here as well as at the World Trade Centers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.
As each family stood at the makeshift memorial, they left a part of their loved ones at the spot where they were taken so horridly. There were family photos, flowers, someone’s favorite teddy bear, a bag of M&Ms, and the flight jacket of one of the crew members.
People watching this moment still grappling with the tragedy found themselves wanting to do something, anything, not just to honor them, not just to thank them for likely saving the U.S. Capitol, but also to connect with them in a way they thought was meaningful, so they started coming here as well.
Within days, people came. They left heartfelt notes, cards, flowers, American flags, pennies, crosses, soccer shirts, prayer books, rosary beads, and leather jackets. If it was meaningful to them, they wanted to share it. Soon, locals started a volunteer system that cared for the site.
And they too left part of themselves here.
The hay memorial soon became a chain-link fence memorial as well as a white-washed plywood memorial; each bracket of the fence was showered with trinkets of thanks. Each inch of the plywood held the grief and gratitude of people who had traveled there and wanted to express something, anything to make sense of what happened here.

USA to Israel, scoundrels never pay
By JACK ENGELHARD - Op Ed
Remember when the good guys won? Times have changed, and the scoundrels are getting away with it, right before our eyes.
We grew up believing that crime doesn’t pay. It said so in the cartoons, the books, and certainly in the movies.
From Alan Ladd in Shane, to Gary Cooper in High Noon, to Tom Cruise in Top Gun Maverick, the good guy wins.
So it was in nearly every Western, and Film Noir, to cite, for example, James M. Cain’s The Postman Always Rings Twice.
The same theme prevails throughout… and in fact, the Hays Code saw to it, that you will never get away with it, you will be punished. (From 1934 to 1968.)
Even Tolstoy couldn’t resist. Anna Karenina was made to suffer a tragic finish.
Throughout history, it has always been wise to put your money on David against Goliath. Good Guys win. Bad Guys lose.
It’s in our DNA.
Or was.
Times have changed, and the scoundrels are getting away with it, right before our eyes.
A Gold Star father testifies, before a special House Committee, that of the 13 US military personnel who were murdered in Kabul, due to Biden’s reckless pullout, not one member of the Administration has had to pay the consequences. No one who’s had a hand in this debacle has been fired or demoted. All of them got off scot-free, even the generals, and Biden himself.
Say that again!
Such clarity, from a bereaved father, stunned many Americans who’ve been snoozing. Can this be true? No consequences?
In that case, we live in a world with no happy endings…nor in Israel, either.
The Oslo Accords, 1993, in which Rabin and fellow travelers elevated a gang of thugs onto equal footing with sovereign Israelis, for that, and for the spree of murders that followed, to this day, from the PLO that was washed and cleansed into the Palestinian Authority, still, there has been no accounting, no comeuppance.
The scoundrels won’t even admit that it was a mistake. Nor that the Second Intifada of the year 2000 was largely their doing.
Are they shamefaced? Not at all. They persist as the disloyal opposition. Some call it treason.
Back here, Hillary, Comey, Schiff and all the rest of them escaped justice, and got to live happily ever after on CNN or MSNBC.
A few days ago, however, one man did get 22 years for some role related to Jan 6. He is a Trump supporter, and no doubt a Republican.
Democrats have no such worries.
The media will protect them, from Biden all across the board.
So too NYC mayor Adams who last year extended a come-one-come-all invitation to the illegal migrants. Apparently. he expected a hundred, not 100,000, and still coming at a rate of 10,000 per month. Today, he is howling HELP. Like an invasion of zombies, they have swamped the town – and the media won’t cover this, either, because Adams is a Democrat.
He used to be a Republican. Is he trending back? A Republican is a Democrat who’s been mugged.
In his own words, he says NYC is being “destroyed” by these invaders.
Only a month ago, before the magnitude of the invasion, the same Mayor Adams asked the citizens to invite these great unwashed to their homes…people who arrive without documentation as to their health and criminal status… and this insanity, this too has been conveniently forgotten by Adams, and the media.
Trump never got a break…only slander after slander.
For all their false reporting over Trump, the anchors, the reporters, the editors…all enjoy safe conduct. Not a single one has apologized for misleading the nation.
Not a single one has been fired or demoted. Many have been promoted.
They all got away with it…and are prepared to do it again.
Separate Note: Seems President Zelenskyy is furious at Israel because Israel has inked a movie-making deal with Russia. Sir, the world does not revolve around Ukraine. Israel, a sovereign nation, has its own domestic concerns and foreign policy business. Let there be Lights, Camera, Action.

Democrats Start to Panic About Biden
His low standing in the polls is finally alarming them about the political risks for 2024.
The Editorial Board
This is the season of Democratic discontent, as the party and its media friends fret about President Biden’s low standing in the polls. The questions to ask are what took them so long, and what are they going to do about it?
The latest panic comes amid polls showing that Mr. Biden’s job approval is 42% or so. Despite White House cheerleading about Bidenomics, voters give Mr. Biden little credit. He’s tied with Donald Trump in a 2024 matchup, which shows how weak Mr. Biden is for an incumbent with a growing economy.
The party freakout is on display. James Carville and Jim Messina, veterans of winning Democratic campaigns, are chiding the party’s “bedwetters.” But some in the media are saying Mr. Biden should announce he won’t run for a second term. He could leave office as a Democratic hero who saved the country from a second Trump term, say he accomplished a lot by progressive lights, and let the party nominate someone from the next generation.
Yet no Democrat of stature has been willing to say this publicly, much less challenge Mr. Biden in the primaries. For months we’ve asked Democrats who visit us why no one is challenging Mr. Biden given his unpopularity. Their answer boils down to confidence that Mr. Trump will be the Republican nominee, that he’s the easiest Republican to beat, that Mr. Biden has done it once, and that a primary challenge would be more divisive than it’s worth.
Perhaps that will prove to be right, but what a gamble it is. Consider Mr. Biden’s manifest political liabilities:
• His age and decline. The press has tried to cover for Mr. Biden, but voters trust their own eyes. Some 73% of registered voters in the latest Wall Street Journal poll say Mr. Biden is too old to run for President. Mr. Biden turns 81 in two months, and aging can accelerate at any moment. The White House will attempt to repeat a Rose Garden version of the 2020 Wilmington basement strategy, but it may not work.
• Vice President Kamala Harris. Mr. Biden chose her as his running mate in 2020 to meet his party’s identity politics demands. But it has backfired as she has shown little capacity to be Commander in Chief and is often embarrassing in interviews. Everyone knows a vote for Mr. Biden in 2024 is probably a vote for President Harris, and Republicans will make the point through Election Day if she stays on the ticket.
• Hunter Biden and the family business. House Republicans have already exposed enough details to confirm the President’s son’s use of the Biden name—“the brand,” as business partner Devon Archer put it—to enrich the family. The press can say there’s no evidence that Joe Biden received a check, but Democrats don’t know what remains to be uncovered.
Mr. Trump will be relentless in prosecuting all of this politically, and the danger for Democrats is that the Biden family influence-peddling will end up neutralizing Mr. Trump’s indictments as a liability. That’s what he did to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
• The economy. The economy has rebounded this year, and third-quarter growth has been strong, but a slowdown is expected in the months ahead. Despite falling inflation, real incomes are still a long way from recovering from the price increases of the last 30 months. If unemployment rises to 5% or 6%, there will be political damage to Democrats and not much ability to counter it.
• The spreading migrant mess. Has there ever been a bigger self-inflicted policy wound than the Biden Administration’s refusal to deter and stop the migrant flood at the U.S.-Mexico border? Mr. Biden refuses to challenge his progressive base on asylum law, and the damage has spread far and wide. Elected Democratic officials are crying for help. Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Biden supporter, is warning Democrats that this will damage the party in 2024 if they don’t act.
***
There are other potential dangers, not least from adversaries abroad. Russia, China and Iran might all seek to exploit U.S. election-year divisions. But there are already enough political risks to justify Democratic alarm.
Democrats may be right that Mr. Trump will be their salvation again, as he has been in every election since 2016. But if they stick with the Biden-Harris ticket, and wake up on the day after the election to discover Mr. Trump has repeated his 2016 miracle, don’t blame Republicans. Democrats will have made an equally decisive contribution.

Ted Cruz Reminds Us What We Must Really Be Mindful of With Hunter Biden Indictment
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tomorrow (9/12) Israel's Supreme Court's 15 members will meet to determine whether they will rule on the Reasonableness Clause and their decision this could result in a crisis. BIBI has signaled he is willing to seek a compromise for several reasons and apparently has enough votes to move forward if the Supreme Court does not rule they have the ability to knock down basic laws passed by the Legislature.
BIBI soon goes to New York for the UN Meeting and does not want to have this issue disrupting his visit though he has no established visit with Biden at this point.
Remember, Israel has no formal Constitution. The Knesseth has basic laws which they feel are sacrosanct and would react sharply if the Supreme Court rules they have the right to renounce any basic law as I under stand the matter at hand.
