Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed in an op-ed Tuesday that the Biden-Harris administration has been successful in bolstering America's international image and geopolitical position as compared with four years ago. Blinken's thesis and remaining credibility did not survive the day. Within hours of publication, Iran — afforded access to billions of dollars by the Democratic administration despite its murder of American soldiers in Jordan — attacked Israel. Blinken, no stranger to humiliation, has since been met with widespread ridicule. In the foreign affairs op-ed, Blinken claimed that when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China "were already aggressively challenging U.S. interests" despite years of relative peace under President Donald Trump. "These countries believed that the United States was in irreversible decline at home and divided from its friends abroad," wrote Blinken. "They saw an American public that had lost its faith in government, an American democracy that was polarized and paralyzed, and an American foreign policy that was undermining the very alliances, international institutions, and norms that Washington had built and championed." According to the alleged architect of the misleading Hunter Biden "intel" letter that impacted the 2020 election, this Democratic administration has worked hard to successfully counter such perceptions with a "strategy of renewal." "The Biden administration's strategy has put the United States in a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago," wrote Blinken. 'An end zone dance by Blinken as the world burns.' The secretary appeared keen to gloss over, spin, or ignore various signals and causes of America's deteriorating position, deterrence, and perception over the past four years, including: the illegal entry of over 10 million illegal aliens into the homeland; the administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and armament of the Taliban; the Russian invasion of Ukraine; military recruitment issues; brazen attacks on American embassies and on troops; routine attacks by Houthi terrorists on ships in the Red Sea; the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks on Israel; growing Sino-Russian cooperation in the face of the Biden-Harris administration's failed sanctions; North Korean missile launches over Japan and around Korea despite American warnings; the continued rise of the communist Chinese-led intergovernmental organization BRICS; and Saudi Arabia's increasing drift from the U.S. dollar. "Time and again, the Biden administration has demonstrated that the United States is the country others can rely on to help solve their biggest problems," wrote Blinken. The secretary suggested further that the Biden-Harris administration's strategy was geared toward deterring aggression, adding that, in the case of Iran, "we increased diplomatic pressure and strengthened the US military's force posture to deter and constrain Tehran." Iran fired over 180 missiles through Blinken's propaganda about strength and deterrence on Tuesday, striking targets in Israel. Israeli military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari indicated that while the country's air defenses were able to take down numerous incoming missiles, some still managed to land in central and southern Israel, reported the Associated Press. Responding to the suggestion online that "it took less than a day for it to age like milk," Donald Trump Jr. said of Blinken's op-ed, "Yikes." Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) called Blinken "totally delusional." "Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote an oped *TODAY* about how great the Biden admin is on international relations and Iran," wrote Libs of TikTok. "We're on the verge of WW3 and we don't have a President. The entire administration is completely incompetent. Has anything aged so bad so fast?" Conservative columnist Joe Concha tweeted, "Oh. Ok. An end zone dance by Blinken as the world burns. Great job everyone." "Timing is the essence of comedy," wrote Federalist CEO Sean Davis. Former Trump intelligence official Ezra Cohen noted, "This is Soviet-level cognitive dissonance from @SecBlinken." Like Blaze News?

The one and only vice presidential debate was one for the books — and JD Vance was clearly in peak form. “I think I just officially met the best vice presidential candidate of my lifetime,” Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” gushes to the BlazeTV panel. “I can’t think of a vice president that has impressed me in a debate more than him.” “This guy is, I believe, ready to be president. He shows that Donald Trump is not planning on staying king forever, because Donald Trump didn’t pick a sycophant,” he continues. “He picked a successor.” And since the Democrat Party went all out telling voters that Vance is a “weird” guy, voters were likely shocked to see that he isn’t the caricature they’ve been sold. “I kept coming back to the idea of putting myself in the mold of an MSNBC viewer who has just heard this guy’s like humping couches and some weirdo,” Stu Burguiere says. “Imagine seeing that guy, like, that is totally not the impression you’d get at all. If you have an open mind at all, I don’t think there’s any way you can think Tim Walz won that debate.” Sara Gonzales was also astounded at Vance’s incredible performance. “It’s going to be very hard for them to continue with this rhetoric that he is some far-right-wing radical, that he is ‘Oh, Project 2025, he’s a part of it, him and Donald Trump are going to destroy the country.’ He was a very reasonable person,” she tells the panel, who are all in agreement. “I thought that was the best apologetic for Donald Trump’s candidacy, record, policies, ideas, the American people have ever heard from anybody,” Steve Deace says. “If the former president is smart, that will be the last word, and he will not attempt to finish the job.” “Let that be the last word the American people hear,” he adds.

This summer marked another milestone in an ongoing archaeological excavation in northwest Bükk, Hungary, where a team of specialists is excavating the remains of an ancient village atop the Verebce-bérc mountain. The archaeologists uncovered the charred remains of buildings that were burnt down during a violent attack that brought an abrupt end to the settlement, which was flourishing in the 6th and 7th centuries BC. Additionally, a comprehensive metal detector survey of the surrounding area yielded a significant collection of metal objects: a treasure trove of over 60 bronze and iron objects, many of which appear to have been hastily buried during the siege in an effort to safeguard them from looting: this is an indication to how sudden and violent the attack likely was.
