Charlie Martin Needs Your Help

Posted on | October 22, 2024 | No Comments

Old-school blogging story: At the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, I was blogging from Jim Hoft’s hotel room while Jim, Michelle Malkin and Charlie Martin went down to investigate a protest at the Denver Mint organized by Alex Jones who was, then as always, a deranged conspiracy theorist. Upon spotting Malkin, Jones pointed her out and yelled something about her being a “neocon warmonger,” at which point Jones’s mob of followers rushed over to surround Malkin and began shouting and pushing. It was an instant riot, basically, but Malkin was protected from the psycho mob by Charlie Martin.

Instapundit informs us that Charlie needs our help: He had retired to Florida, but when that became too expensive (Bidenflation), Charlie was persuaded to locate to Costa Rica where, he had been assured, the cost of living was more affordable. Six months later, however, this has gone badly awry, and now Charlie is soliciting contributions to fund his return to the United States. I just kicked in $20. Please do likewise.

Bonus: I found video of that 2008 confrontation:

‘A Routine Patrol’ in Rafah

Posted on | October 21, 2024 | No Comments

In March, Kamala Harris had a warning for Israel:

In a wide-ranging new interview with ABC News, Vice President Kamala Harris suggested there could be “consequences” for Israel if it moves ahead with a planned invasion of Rafah in its pursuit of Hamas fighters. . . .
“We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake,” Harris told ABC News’ Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott in part of the interview that aired Sunday on “This Week.”
“Let me tell you something: I have studied the maps. There’s nowhere for those folks to go,” Harris said.

Well, what happened? Last week, the Hamas leader who masterminded the October 7 massacre was killed during a “major military operation in Rafah.” The most interesting aspect of this was that, while the Israelis had been hunting him for more than a year, it wasn’t any kind of targeted raid that finally put an end to his terrorist career:

It was a routine patrol for a unit of Israeli soldiers in the southern Gaza Strip. Then a firefight erupted and the Israelis, backed by drones, destroyed part of a building where several militants had taken cover, Israeli officials said.
When the dust cleared and they began searching the building, the soldiers found a body that bore a striking resemblance to someone they had not expected to find, a man their country had been hunting for since Oct. 7, 2023: Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas.
For more than a year, as tens of thousands of Gazans were killed, Mr. Sinwar had eluded the full force of Israel’s military and security establishment, which had dedicated every means at its disposal to finding and killing him. Many believed he was hiding underground in Gaza and had surrounded himself with hostages taken from Israel.
In the end, the Israeli officials said, he was killed above ground on Wednesday, alongside two other militants, with no sign of hostages nearby. The Israeli authorities said they had confirmed his death on Thursday, using dental records and fingerprints. His DNA was also tested for confirmation, according to one Israeli official and the White House.

Good-bye and good riddance to this murderous monster, but if Israel had listened to Kamala Harris, Yahya Sinwar would have been safe in Rafah.

Gosh, it’s almost as if Kamala is pro-Hamas, and yet there are still Jews who will vote for her — liberalism is a suicidal psychosis.

The reason Israel is in such a strong position is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's refusal to listen to President Joe Biden, President Donald Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night.https://t.co/GPHSuRO649

This is without question one of the funniest episodes in this miserable election season: Donald Trump working the fry station and the drive-through at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s.
