JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli ground forces crossed into southern Lebanon early Tuesday, marking a significant escalation of an offensive against Hezbollah militants and opening a new front in a yearlong war against its Iranian-backed adversaries.

The incursion follows weeks of heavy blows by Israel against Hezbollah — including an airstrike that killed its longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah – and seeks to step up the pressure on the group, which began firing rockets into northern Israel after the start of the war in Gaza.

Let’s apply this to Hurricane Helene. This would be a great use of the existing government to use this catastrophe to their political advantage. Instead, the President, Vice-President and the governor of North Carolina have chosen not to use this to their advantage and have ignored this opportunity.

I can think of two reasons why:

1. They know that there will not be an election on November 5th.
2. They know that the election has been rigged to give the country another fraudulent President.

This would also explain why Biden will not get involved in the East Coast dock strike, close the border or stop illegal aliens from voting. Congress is in recess until November 12, 2024 so the “government” is running on empty.

Sept 29 (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden on Sunday approved $567 million in defense support for Taiwan, the White House said, the latest move by the United States to boost the island’s military in the face of rising tensions with China.

The United States is Taiwan’s most important international backer and arms supplier even in the absence of formal diplomatic ties. China has repeatedly demanded Washington stop selling weapons to Taipei, which it claims as its territory.
