Israel in turn warned that his fate could become akin to that of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, who was executed by hanging.
“Erdogan is following in the footsteps of Saddam Hussein by threatening to attack Israel. He should remember what happened there and how it ended,’ Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, in which he linked a photograph of the two men.
He spoke up after Erdogan suggested that Turkey might enter Israel as it had done in the past in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh, though he did not spell out what sort of intervention he was suggesting.
Erdogan, who has been a fierce critic of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza to destroy Hamas, started discussing that war during a speech praising his country’s defense industry.

“We must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these ridiculous things to Palestine. Just like we entered Karabakh, just like we entered Libya, we might do similar to them,” Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling AK Party in his hometown of Rize.
“There is no reason why we cannot do this… We must be strong so that we can take these steps,” Erdogan added in the televised address.
Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., is none too happy with the mainstream media’s reaction to Vice President Kamala Harris taking the reins as the presumptive Democratic Party nominee since President Biden suspended his re-election campaign last week.
“Down here in Florida, it’s hot in July, and it’ll be hot in August, but you’re going to see a blizzard of lies over the next few months,” he told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo during this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“There’s not going to be any pushback from the entrenched corporate media, and they’re going to try to re-rewrite history, and they’re going to try to present her [Harris] as something that she’s just not,” he continued.

DeSantis, earlier in the segment, linked Harris to the Biden administration’s policies.
“The media really worked hard to push Biden out, and now you see all the arteries of the left – the corporate media, Hollywood, academia, they’re using all the king’s horses and all the king’s men to try to put the Democratic Party back together again, and they have to whitewash Harris’ background to be able to make her palpable to the American people, but I think we’ve all seen her. She’s incredibly vapid, even more incredibly liberal, and she doesn’t have any accomplishments. In fact, she owns all the policies of the Biden-Harris administration. She owns the border, she owns the inflation.”
Vice President Harris has been in the media spotlight since taking Biden’s place as the presumptive nominee after he announced the end of his re-election bid last Sunday.
At the same time, Republicans have fretted over her stance on several key issues, including her former eagerness to ban fracking and her performance on the border issue. They have simultaneously slammed the mainstream media for allegedly working to rebrand her as she prepares to face off against former President Donald Trump this election season.

“Now that he’s [Biden’s] out, if we had to pick someone, I think we would pick Harris because she owns all the policies, she’s not going to be able to distance herself from them, and most Americans think this country’s going in the wrong direction,” DeSantis continued.
“I think ultimately, truth is going to prevail, but the one thing we do have to acknowledge [is] Biden set the bar so low… he couldn’t even deliver a sentence. Now you take somebody like Harris who’s not exactly lighting the world on fire, but Biden makes her look like Socrates just because we’re so used to him not even being able to do anything. Now you have somebody who’s younger, so we’re in for a battle here.”
New Fox News polls show Harris and Trump locked in dead heat in key swing states, including Pennsylvania and Michigan – two states that could decide the outcome of November’s race.
Separate numbers from a New York Times/Siena College poll conducted after Biden’s withdrawal from the race indicate Harris is inching closer to Trump, with his lead now just one point at 48% to Harris’ 47%.
JD Vance rips Kamala Harris for questioning his loyalty to US: ‘What the hell have you done?’

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance ripped Vice President Kamala Harris for questioning his loyalty to the US during an impassioned speech Saturday.
The Ohio Senator defended his record as a Marine Corps vet and a small business owner in response to a campaign ad Harris released earlier this month claiming he would be “loyal only to Trump, not to our country.”
“Now, I saw the other day Kamala Harris questioned my loyalty to this country. That’s the word she used; loyalty. And it’s an interesting word. Semper Fi: loyalty, because there is no greater sign of disloyalty to this country than what Kamala Harris has done at our southern border,” Vance fumed to the crowd in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
“And I’d like to ask the vice president, what has she done to question my loyalty to this country? I served in the United States Marine Corps. I went to Iraq for this country. I built a business for this country. And my running mate took a bullet for this country,” he said.

The Israeli Border is under siege. Hezbollah utilizing Iranian arms have killed 12 children in a Druze city.

According to military guidelines, the residents of several localities in the Northern Galilee were told to stay near shelters following the direct hit.
Israel has no choice but to launch a brutal and sustained attack at the perpetrators. Time is of the essence, they must take out Hezbollah and Iran now. They have no choice.
These incidents have gone on long enough.Fire power is the only language they understand. This will go on and on until the last man Jew is dead.
Not that we condone the United States supplying arms to Israel, enough is enough. The U.S. must help end this ongoing conflict once and for all by giving Israel bunker busters and the latest technology in their arsenal. If they don’t we will see the third world war.
Hezbollah and Iran must be taken out before they secure a nuclear weapon.
Kamala Harris is a dangerous authoritarian and an enemy of core American freedoms

With some hard work, pluck and a bit of genetic luck, Kamala Harris has found her way onto the presidential ballot without having to secure a single primary vote.
Don’t tell me the American Dream is dead.
Sure, Harris is a demagogue who speaks in cringey, swirling, impenetrable platitudes.
But let’s discuss her record and stated positions.
It seems like a lifetime ago that President Biden named Harris his running mate.
What you may not recall is that the media tried to gaslight us into believing the California senator was another apolitical dealmaker.
Former Clinton fixer George Stephanopoulos said Harris was “the middle-of-the-road, moderate wing of the Democratic Party.”
The New York Times called her a “pragmatic moderate,” while the Associated Press focused on her “centrist record.”
And so on.
A “small-c conservative,” one Washington Post columnist wrote.
The only problem was, according to GovTrack, Harris’ record in the Senate was to the left of red-diaper baby Bernie Sanders.
She was the least likely of any senator to join in any bipartisan bills.
Harris wasn’t handed a Senate seat by the California political hierarchy to waste her time legislating with a bunch of pinheads. She was there to run for the presidency.
In her truncated first term, few excelled more at smearing their political opponents.
Remember when Harris “moderately” accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of gang rape?
This false perception of moderation stems from Harris’ time as prosecutor and AG.
Harris liked to brag about using “a huge stick” as a prosecutor in San Francisco, where she regularly threatened poor parents with jail time in her efforts to craft social policy — which wasn’t her job.
It’s true that Harris threw a lot of people in jail to bolster her political fortunes. Some of them likely innocent.
And judging from her disposition, she would throw a lot of more people in jail, if she could.
When pro-life journalist David Daleiden published videos of Planned Parenthood executives nonchalantly discussing the selling of body parts, Harris had his home raided, seized evidence and then tried to throw him in prison.
She later teamed up with the abortion mill to write legislation that would squash the free speech rights of other pro-lifers.
Like any good authoritarian, Harris enforces whatever laws she sees fit to enforce whenever she sees fit.
One of the reasons Kamala allegedly opposed the nomination of Neil Gorsuch was that the judge “consistently valued legalisms” — which is to say, respected the Constitution — “over real lives.”
In 2008 Iowa was won by the Democratic nominee, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, by a 9.54% margin of victory. Obama took 53.93% of the vote while his Republican opponent, Senator John McCain of Arizona, took 44.39%.
In 2012 Obama won Iowa with 51.99% of the vote to Romney’s 46.18%, a Democratic victory margin of 5.81% – a markedly closer result than in 2008.
In 2016 Trump won the state with 51.15%of the vote, while Clinton received 41.74% (a margin of 9.41%). Clinton’s performance in Iowa was the worst performance for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1980.
What happened in 2016?The Wise People of Iowagot sick and tired of the Obama policies of the previous eight years; they also theorized that “Lock Her Up”would perpetuate those policies for another four years. Iowans tossed her to the wolves that November. And the rest of the nation gave her the beating she deserved on election day. Trump beat her like a drum, a fact she can’t get over with till this day.
Now that we have come to that proverbial “Y” in the road, we must make a choice, do we vote for EVIL or do we vote for Democracy? America knows when they see a Rat. And that demonic-rat this time around is none other than Kamala Harris (you can add murderer to her resume), who BTW is to the left of Bernie Sanders.
Her record on preventing illegals crossing our southern border speaks for itself, it is unequaled in the history of the United States. Not only the worst border Czar in America’s history,she is solely responsible for 18 million illegals breaking into our country. We are under Siege America. The lady has never been to the border.
To prevent another Joe Biden from being elected, we must vote TRUMP, this man took a bullet to save us from the criminals now in charge. Our safety depends on it.
He is our only choice. We must stop the infestation of the Demonic RATS who are weak in the knees as well as the mind.
We pray that GOD will save America from the demons of the Obama-Biden years.
Our job is to prevent another four year catastrophe by voting the Republican Ticket on November 5, 2024.
Border czar Kamala Harris visits Houston weeks after Jocelyn Nungaray allegedly murdered by illegal immigrants

“Border czar” Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Houston, Texas, choosing to attend a dinner for a convention for teachers rather than visit the grieving parents of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was raped and murdered, allegedly by two migrants.
Nungaray was found strangled to death June 17. Authorities identified the suspects as two Venezuelan nationals — Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 21, and Franklin Jose Peña Ramos, 26.
Authorities previously confirmed the pair illegally entered the U.S. earlier this year.
“Crooked Joe Biden’s Oval Office speech was barely understandable, and sooo bad!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND LYIN’ KAMALA HARRIS ARE A GREAT EMBARRASSMENT TO AMERICA — THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A TIME LIKE THIS!” the 78-year-old former president wrote in a follow-up post.
.
In his prime-time address, Biden, 81, insisted that he would stay in the White House through January despite concerns about his fitness for office.
He also explained his decision to abruptly end his re-election campaign, arguing that it was time to “pass the torch to a new generation” to unite the Democratic Party.
Trump, 78, who had just wrapped up a raucous rally in North Carolina minutes before the president’s address to the nation, listened to Biden’s remarks on the plane.
“On Trump Force One …Hey Joe …You’re Fired!” Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita wrote on X, including a photo of a very serious-looking Trump standing in front one the TVs on the former president’s Boeing 757.
A number of pundits and politicians described Biden’s speech as “sad.”
“All politics aside it’s sad to watch Biden slur through a farewell speech with glassy eyes and a weak voice,” former Republican Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee wrote on X, noting that he wished Biden used the nationally televised address to address violent anti-Israel protesters that besieged Washington, DC, Wednesday.
“I agree with him that there’s no place for violence. Was hoping he would condemn the violence this very day in DC by Hamas supporters, Huckabee said.
CNN analyst Van Jones nearly teared up after Biden’s speech.
“The kid with the stutter did good,” Jones, holding back tears, said on the network.
“Most heroes fight to the bitter end. He fell on his sword,” the political analyst said of Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 race.
“He’s an old guy but his heart is still there,” he added, noting that some of the policies Biden said he hoped to achieve in his remaining months in office, such as Supreme Court reform, are unlikely to go anywhere before his term is up.

Joe Biden‘s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race and subsequent endorsement of Kamala Harris for the Democratic presidential nomination has sparked a number of questions — including whether he will choose to resign before his current term ends, which would create a vacancy in the administration.
According to the Constitution’s 25th Amendment, if the president of the United States resigns from office, “the Vice President shall become President,” at which point the new president “shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.”
In other words, if Biden opted to leave the White House early, Harris, 59, would become president and would then nominate someone to take her place as vice president. That person’s confirmation would require that both the Republican-controlled House and the Democratic-controlled Senate approve.
While the speaker of the House (currently Republican Rep. Mike Johnson) is next in the line of succession for the presidency, he would not be promoted to vice president. That line of succession only applies if both the president and vice president die or resign at the same time, in which case Johnson would become the commander-in-chief.

If Biden resigned, Harris would not be the first POTUS to nominate a new vice president mid-term — in fact, the vice presidency was vacated back to back in the 1970s.
On Oct. 12, 1973, Spiro Agnew resigned as vice president, leading President Richard Nixon to nominate House minority leader Gerald Ford as a successor.
The move came after Agnew was charged with bribery, conspiracy and tax fraud and urged to leave the administration. Agnew ultimately pleaded no contest to a single felony charge of tax evasion.
Ford would go on to become the 38th president of the United States in August 1974, less than one year after being sworn in as vice president, when the Watergate scandal caused Nixon to resign as well. Ford then nominated former New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller to succeed him as VP.

On Sunday, July 21, 81-year-old Biden endorsed Harris to lead the party into November, putting her in a strong position with his delegates ahead of the Democratic National Convention. Biden’s endorsement came moments after he announced in a statement that he would be withdrawing from the 2024 race.
“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” the statement read in part.

As the oldest president in U.S. history, Biden has faced concerns about his ability to serve another term. His performance at the first 2024 presidential debate did little to quell those fears among Democrats, leading to heightened doubts about his cognitive health and calls for him to drop out of the race.
At 78 years old, Republican Donald Trump is now the oldest major party presidential nominee in U.S. history.
Donald Trump to meet Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida on Friday
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is set to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this Friday at his Palm Beach resort.
This upcoming meeting, their first since Trump’s presidency ended, occurs amid tensions between Netanyahu and current Democratic President Joe Biden.
Trump and Netanyahu, who have historically shared similar ideologies and policies, are looking to reaffirm their partnership.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday at his resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said on Tuesday, a sign the two men are looking to improve ties.
“Looking forward to welcoming Bibi Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida,” the former US president said in a post on Truth Social, using Netanyahu’s nickname.
The meeting will be their first since the end of Trump’s presidency, during which the two forged close ties, and comes at a time of strains also between Netanyahu and Democratic President Joe Biden over Israel’s war against Hamas militants in Gaza.
