We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧/🇮🇶 15th day of the war, October 21st status update and major events:
– Extremely heavy airstrikes on Gaza throughout the day, especially in the evening. Still a huge lack of food, water, medicine and electricity.
– In the early morning, the Rafah crossing was temporarily opened, and 20 trucks with aid managed to get into Gaza.
– Sporadic rocket attacks by Hamas and PIJ took place on cities like Sderot and Ashkelon.
– Throughout the entire day, Hezbollah carried out many attacks with ATGMs against IDF troops, vehicles and radar stations in numerous settlements near the Lebanese border. At least one Hummer and one Merkava were destroyed, and several IDF soldiers were killed.
– Hezbollah announced 6 new martyrs, bringing the total amount of casualties they suffered since the beginning of the war to 19 deaths.
– As a response to the Hezbollah attacks, the IDF carried out artillery shellings and drone strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. It seems that the IDF has adapted and is now engaging more directly and proactively against Hezbollah, targeting ATGM squads before they get into position, as well as carrying out targeted drone strikes on known Hezbollah vehicles and manned hideouts.
– The Islamic Resistance in Iraq carried out an attack with two suicide drones against the U.S. military base in Erbil International Airport.
– The IAF carried out an airstrike on Al-Ansari Mosque inside the Jenin camp in the West Bank, claiming it was used as a hideout by Hamas and PIJ.

⚖️ 🇺🇸 🏛 He Who Decides the Exception: Trump Should Disregard the Supreme Court’s National Guard Ruling
⬛️ Judicial overreach mustn’t be permitted to trample the public necessity.
🔶️ The Supreme Court has again reminded the country that, in the American system, the judiciary can halt executive action with the stroke of a pen—this time keeping in place a lower-court order blocking President Trump’s attempt to federalize and deploy National Guard forces to protect besieged immigration enforcement operations in and around Chicago.
🔶️ The point was that a republic cannot outsource its highest political judgments to a tribunal without hollowing out self-government. Put those threads together—Cicero’s salus populi, Aquinas’ equity, Locke’s prerogative, Hamilton’s executive energy, Jefferson’s coordinate construction, Jackson’s independence, Lincoln’s warning—and you get a tradition that modern progressives and libertarians alike often deny ...
This is no longer a red-versus-blue spectator sport or partisan cheerleading exercise. The macro reality is brutally apolitical. The United States is functionally bankrupt, as Ron Paul has warned for decades, and the evidence is now manifesting in collapsing purchasing power. The price of acquiring real money—gold and silver—has surged roughly 200% in just two years, a silent tax that represents systemic looting via monetary debasement. We are drifting toward a sovereign debt crisis unprecedented in the entire history of fiat currency regimes. Even conservative frameworks, like Jim Rickards’ back-of-the-napkin gold revaluation tied to balance-sheet realities, imply a potential trajectory toward $27,000 per ounce. You don’t need to be a “gold bug” to recognize risk management: allocating even 10% of depreciating Federal Reserve notes into real money is simple capital preservation. It’s not about upside speculation—it’s about avoiding total annihilation if real money ...
