Hamas ‘death cult’ wins over Trump amid harsh media coverage and other comments

Foreign Office: Hamas’s ‘death cult’

“Not since the execution of Benito Mussolini” has the world had access to such a vision of “the death of a fascist” as when the images showed the last breaths of Yahya Sinwar, observes Brendan O’Neill of Spiked.

“In truth, Hamas does not aspire to “liberate Palestine”, but to submit it” to the “domination of the Islamist diktat”. Palestinians are not “individuals who deserve life” but “martyrs”.

The fact is that Hamas is a “death cult”; it is not the creation of a state but death that is its “highest” goal.

Meanwhile, the terrorist group’s “hijacking of the Palestinian issue is more than offset” by the “woke hijacking of this issue by the lost elites of the West”, who use it to express their “angst at the respect for the West.

The Palestinians are “physical food” for the “sacred warmongering” of Hamas and “moral food for the virtue messages of Western elites.”

Media monitoring: Trump wins despite harsh media coveragee

Despite “consistently negative media coverage,” marvels Byron York of the Washington Examiner, “the public views (Donald) Trump more favorably than it has since he entered politics.”

“Less than three weeks before Election Day, Trump’s unfavorable rating exceeds his favorable rating by just 7 points.”

He is now “more popular at this point in the campaign than he was at this point in the 2020 campaign or the 2016 campaign.”

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris’s “momentum” is “at a standstill.” So the trend favoring Trump is increasing, and the trend favoring Harris is decreasing.

This is an “extraordinary” development, given the “relentlessly hostile” media environment Trump has faced.

Looking at the economy: Kam, the McDonald’s killer

During his photo shoot at McDonald’s, Donald Trump “missed a more important opportunity to highlight the extent to which Kamala Harris’ program endangers these jobs and franchised restaurants,” reports the Wall Street Journal editorial board.

“Start with Biden’s National Labor Relations Board’s Joint Employer Rule,” which holds “parent companies accountable for franchisee labor practices.”

This would “reduce the autonomy of franchisees and increase their costs”, which would lead to “fewer jobs”. Harris also “supported raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour,” perhaps to $15 an hour — a recipe for “more jobless teens.”

Additionally, the Democratic hopeful and other “progressives accuse McDonald’s of price gouging” even though its prices have increased in line with its costs, and the party would like to punish such practice by “price fixing.”

McDonald’s and other franchisees “are on his target list.” This will not help low-income workers.

SCOTUS Beat: Beware the Lockstep Left

Ahead of the election, Democrats “maintain consistent criticism of what Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called a ‘MAGA Supreme Court,'” but “if the close voting and decision-making results-oriented you are concerned about, it’s not the Republican. appointed judges you should be worried about,” warns City Journal’s Ilya Shapiro.

“The court leans right, yes, but it is not a monolith, and it clips the wings of both aggressive conservative litigants and lower court judges.”

The fact is that “only 11 of the 58 opinions issued in cases argued over the past season resulted in a 6-3 “partisan” split and nearly half of the decisions were unanimous. »

“There is a lot of fluidity on the right, with varied methods of interpretation” and in reality, “it is the Democratic elected officials who vote as a bloc much more than their Republican counterparts” and who are “oriented towards specific political results. .. the progressives.

Right: When terrorists face “chaos”

“Israel is abandoning the non-traditional financial goals that Hezbollah has relied on since many of its traditional goals were sanctioned by the West,” notes Seth Mandel of Commentary.

“Cutting off a terrorist group’s access to cash can be an organizational death sentence. »

Israel’s “asymmetric warfare” against Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists has created “chaos.” Citizens fear getting “too close to a Hezbollah soldier” for fear his pager will explode.

“These same suspicions can slow down Hezbollah recruitment.” Until now, “Iran’s terrorist proxies enjoyed all the benefits of true nation-states, without any of the limitations.”

Now that Israel appears to have turned the tables on Hezbollah and Hamas, “I hope we see a lot more of this stuff, and not just from Israel.”
