Iran shares chilling message for Israel after Gaza hospital explosion kills 500: ‘Time is OVER’ . . . Iran’s foreign minister posted an ominous tweet on Wednesday that said time is "running out" for Israel. The post was made hours after an explosion at a Hamas-run hospital in Gaza suffered an explosion that reportedly left hundreds dead. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian posted the tweet after Hamas blamed Israel for the blast at the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, where the Gaza health ministry said more than 500 were killed. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) determined the blast was caused by a rocket misfire launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

"After the terrible crime of the Zionist regime in the bombing and massacre of more than 1,000 innocent women and children in the hospital, the time has come for the global unity of humanity against this fake regime more hated than ISIS and its killing machine," Amir-Abdallohian tweeted. Fox News

We Went to a Pro-Palestine Protest. This Is What We Heard . . .

There were 500 or so attendees, mostly in their twenties and thirties, mostly from the city’s Arab community. They came with their kids, and they marched, and there was a feeling of solidarity. They also said they were scared for the Palestinians in Gaza. The rally came a little more than a week after Hamas, the terrorist group that rules Gaza, attacked Israel—murdering 1,300 people, including children and the elderly; kidnapping 200 and taking them into Gaza where their fates remain unknown; and raping women.

As the pro-Palestinian marchers trekked through Ottawa, as in so many cities across the West, they wore black and white keffiyehs—the headscarves that have become trendy symbols of Palestinian resistance—and waved red, green, and white Palestinian flags. They played Arab folk music, or dabke, and chanted “Free Palestine!” and “From the river to the sea!”—a reference to the hoped-for Palestinian homeland extending from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, a.k.a. Israel. The marchers called for Israel to be wiped off the map. Free Press

Donald Trump: Biden's Weakness and Incompetence Strengthened Iran—and Hamas . . . By DONALD J. TRUMP , 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. As we pray for the Israeli people in this hour of anguish and give them our complete and total support, we must also confront the absolute failure of the Biden administration, whose incompetence and ignorance invited this heinous and deadly assault on civilization itself. The only thing Biden is good at is the weaponization of the justice system against his political opponents. Every step of the way, has empowered and emboldened America's enemies the world over—and clearly none more so than the terrorist group Hamas, and their bloodthirsty sponsor, the villainous regime in Iran.

THE US HAS SECRETLY BEEN TESTING ITS NEW LRSO NUCLEAR CRUISE MISSILE . . . Recently released documents show that the United States has conducted at least nine flight tests of a new long-range nuclear cruise missile meant to be carried by America’s B-52 and forthcoming B-21 Raider bombers. While details about this new missile, dubbed the AGM-181A Long Range Stand Off cruise missile (LRSO), remain limited, these successful tests suggest the weapon is well on its way to entering service before the close of the decade. This weapon is being designed primarily to serve as a long-range portion of the airborne leg of America’s nuclear triad, but the Defense Department has not ruled out the possibility of also fielding a conventionally armed variant for more tactical strikes.

Putin filmed in China accompanied by officers with Russian nuclear briefcase . . . Rare footage was shown on Wednesday of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Beijing accompanied by officers carrying the so-called nuclear briefcase which can be used to order a nuclear strike. Putin, after a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, was filmed walking to another meeting surrounded by security and followed by two Russian naval officers in uniform each carrying a briefcase. The camera zooms in on one of the briefcases. Reuters

Hamas says it’s closely coordinating war’s next moves with Hezbollah in Lebanon . . . Iran-backed militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah are closely coordinating their next steps in fighting against Israel, a senior Hamas representative in Lebanon told POLITICO on Tuesday, just hours after Tehran warned of “preemptive action” against Israel. Ahmed Abdul-Hadi, the head of Hamas’ political bureau in Beirut, insisted Gaza-based Hamas had not given its ally Hezbollah any advance notice of its attacks against Israel on October 7, which killed more than 1,400 people. Despite this, however, he described a continual cooperation between the two groups, stressing Hezbollah was now “geared for a major war” against Israel in the north, while Hamas would burst Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “dream” of driving it out of Gaza. The remarks will heighten fears the conflict in the Middle East could be about to spill onto two fronts and engulf Lebanon. PoliticoEU

Defying U.S. Pressure, China Rolls Out Red Carpet for Putin . . . Inside the Great Hall of the People in Beijing last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) implored leader Xi Jinping to distance himself from Russian President Vladimir Putin, arguing that Putin, a pariah in the West, was holding back China’s ambitions.

Instead of heeding that advice, China on Tuesday welcomed Putin to Beijing with open arms, in the Russian leader’s first major visit abroad since the International Criminal Court accused him of committing war crimes in Ukraine. Wall Street Journal

The Mirror at the End of the Road . . . By Miljan Vešović. There is a famous American proverb that says: "At the end of the road, there is always a mirror". As things stand now, there is a high probability that Montenegro will quickly get a new government and a parliamentary majority whose key constituent will be the anti-Montenegrin and anti-Western, pro-Serbian and pro-Russian coalition "For the Future of Montenegro" (former Democratic Front). It has also been announced that the census will be conducted starting on November 1st. Apparently, the census will be conducted without any domestic or international control. Citizens are exposed to the campaign and pressure of pro-Serbian political forces and the Serbian Orthodox Church to declare themselves as Serbs and believers of the SOC. It is suspected that the true purpose of the census is "ethnic engineering" in Montenegro, as a prelude to the annulment of the civil character of the state. AntenaM

I'm fairly certain that no one among Biden's "experts" is paying attention to Montenegro now. They aren't able to walk and chew gum at the same time. And they can barely even walk now. Watch Vlad Putin and Sasha Vučić orchestrate the reversal of Kosovo independence, now that they realized that neither US nor Israeli spy agencies detected the Hamas attacks that were being planned, prepared, funded, practiced, etc. in the course of 2 years.

Sweden Says Second Undersea Cable Damaged in Baltic Sea . . . 
The incident comes days after Finland and Estonia said sabotage was the likely cause of disruptions to a gas pipeline and a communications cable. The mystery surrounding suspected sabotage of critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea deepened after Sweden said that a second underwater telecommunications cable was damaged without explanation. Last week, Finland and Estonia, two North Atlantic Treaty Organization member states, said disruptions to a gas pipeline and telecommunications cable were likely caused by sabotage, resurrecting worries about the security of Europe’s vital infrastructure.

Money

As it harbored Hamas, Qatar spent $1 billion-plus trying to influence U.S. education, politics . . . The Persian Gulf state of Qatar, which has reportedly given support and safe haven to Hamas leaders and empowered Web sites to flourish that promote anti-Israel sentiments, has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years shaping U.S. opinion and the American education curriculum, according to lobbying and donation records review by Just the News.

Since at least 2016, Qatar has spent $77 million hiring 29 foreign registered agents to influence U.S. policy – one of the largest lobbying fleets among Middle Eastern countries, according to the Justice Department Foreign Agent Registration Act database. That database shows some of Washington D.C.'s most powerful and influential law firms and Public Relations outfits have taken millions of dollars to promote Qatar's interests, including Holland & Knight and Mercury Public Affairs, LLC.

Culture

Cancel culture needs to come for college kids defending Hamas, too . . . In the days since the Hamas attack on southern Israel, Americans have seen that something is deeply wrong at our elite universities. As most of us watched in horror as terrorists kidnapped children, live-streamed the murders of old people on their Facebook pages and slaughtered young people at a music festival, students at our finest colleges blamed the victim and marched for the aggressors.

The question is how did we get here? And the answer is slowly and then all at once. The conversations on campuses for the last few years centered around feelings. "Words are violence" but now it turns out actual violence can easily be excused and dismissed when the victim isn’t in the correct "oppressed" class. Fox News

When the Misinformation Comes From Inside the New York Times . . . Scores of Palestinians are dead after a blast late yesterday at a hospital in Gaza, a horrific tragedy. Hamas immediately blamed Israel. And then so did the paper of record. Very soon after the incident, The New York Times published a story with the headline “Israeli Strike Kills Hundreds in Hospital, Palestinians Say” and sent it out as a breaking news notification. They did so relying on Hamas’s word on the matter.

Israeli authorities soon after denied responsibility. An IDF spokesperson said that no Israeli aircraft had been operating in the area of the hospital at the time of the explosion. Israel has released footage they say shows that the hospital was struck by a wayward missile fired from within Gaza. The spokesperson further said the Israeli military will release recordings of intercepted conversations and drone footage that they claim demonstrates the hospital was hit by a rocket fired by Gaza-based terrorist group Islamic Jihad. 

Realizing their mistake, editors at the Times changed the headline on their homepage to: “At Least 500 Dead in Strike on Gaza Hospital, Palestinians Say.” And then changed it again to: “At Least 500 Dead in Blast at Gaza Hospital, Palestinians Say.” So in the space of several hours, it went from an Israeli strike to an ambiguous blast.

Biden Backs Israel Over Gaza Hospital Blast . . . President Biden, reaffirming U.S. support for its longtime ally in the war with Hamas, said he believed Israel wasn’t responsible for a deadly blast at a hospital compound in Gaza that has demonstrated the volatility of the conflict and heightened fears of escalation. “I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion of the hospital in Gaza yesterday, and based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team—not you,” Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a visit to Israel. Asked what gave him confidence that Israel wasn’t behind the explosion, Biden responded: “The data I was shown by my Defense Department,” without elaborating. Wall Street Journal

French nun tackles environmental protester attempting to stop construction of religious center . . . A French nun was seen tackling an environmental protester outside the construction of a new religious center in what quickly became a viral online video. On Saturday, members of the eco-group Les Amis de la Bourges, which is translated to friends of the village, attempted to protest the building of a new religious complex in Saint-Pierre-de-Colombier. The construction was surrounded by a group of nuns from the Missionary Family of Notre-Dame forming a human chain around the area to stop the activists. Altercations reportedly began in the early morning, leading to one of the sisters tackling a protester who was running with what appeared to be building materials to the ground while other protesters stomped on the piping materials. New York Post

You gotta love those nuns! Maybe we could deploy a regiment of them into the Southern Border, if Biden doesn't stop the "refugee" invasion.

Victoria's Secret ditches prioritizing wokeness over 'sexiness' after sales drop . . . Lingerie chain Victoria’s Secret is reportedly ditching its woke, feminist makeover of recent years as it hasn’t translated to business success. Since the brand decided to move away from its "hyper-sexualized" image – as BusinessOfFashion.com described it in a recent article – Victoria’s Secret has seen a significant revenue drop. As such, it has looked to revamp itself and bring back "sexiness," the outlet noted in a piece that was also published by editorial partner CNN on Tuesday. Fox Business
