Prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz announced he is leaving the Democratic Party during an interview on "Talkline" with Zev Brenner Aug. 23, attributing his decision to the presence of what he describes as "anti-Jewish" lawmakers within the party and his dissatisfaction with the recent Democratic National Convention (DNC).

Dershowitz pointed to the DNC's decision to provide a platform for anti-Israel speakers and cited anti-Israel protesters present outside the event. "It was the most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist convention I've experienced," Dershowitz said, during the interview. "I was disgusted at the Democratic National Convention. Absolutely disgusted."

Comment: The fewer places where people like Dershowitz feel welcome, the better.

A new New York Times/Siena College poll shows former President Donald Trump pulling ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris by a slim margin.

Recent data now shows Trump polling at 48% with Harris behind by one point at 47% and 6% of voters still being undecided, according to the New York Times/Siena College. The poll, conducted from Sept. 3 to Sept. 6, surveyed 1,695 registered voters nationwide and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points for the likely electorate and plus or minus 2.6 percentage points for registered voters.

When including voters leaning toward third-party candidates, data shows Trump drops to 46% support but remains two points ahead of Harris at 44%, with 4% being undecided. Additionally, 2% of voters supported Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver.

However, when leaning voters were not included in the survey, Trump held 44% of the vote, with Harris at 42%, 7% undecided, 3% refusing to vote and 2% going to each Stein and Oliver, according to the polling.

In late August, Journalist and author Mark Halperin stated on a live stream that the Democratic Party may be in a "scary position" come this November as polling within battleground states shows Harris is "well within the margin of error."

"There's some public polling already, there's more coming. There's some private polling that suggests that nationally in the battleground states, she's not ahead. She might be ahead on paper, but well within the margin of error. And there's some battleground states now where I think Donald Trump, on this trajectory, is going to be ahead," Halperin said.

Mayor Eric Adams compared himself to the Bible's long-suffering Job and asked a local bishop to "pray for me" when at two Brooklyn churches Sunday — days after the feds targeted some of his top lieutenants.

Adams hit the Power and Authority Evangelical Ministry on Sheffield Avenue and then the Changing Lives Christian Center on Linden Boulevard and spoke at both houses of worship about the Book of Job, calling it "my favorite story."

"I had many Job moments in my life," Hizzoner said at the Power and Authority Church, giving a nod to the famously persecuted Biblical character and comparing the story to his own struggles with learning disabilities, dyslexia and diabetes. "These are Job moments. When your faith becomes stronger.

Comment: What a narcissist. The only faith that man has is in his ability to dupe people and those poor, unfortunate sheep who're supporting him don't realize they're being led around by a wolf.

Two hospitals in northern Gaza have warned that they will be out of service due to shortages of fuel and medical supplies caused by Israel's genocidal war on the besieged Palestinian territory.

The Indonesian and Kamal Adwan hospitals, both situated in Beit Lahia, announced on Monday that they will stop working as the occupying regime keeps up its brutal aggression and blockade on Gaza.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Hussam Abu Safia, warned that operations could stop within 48 hours because of a lack of fuel and critical medical items.

He also noted that fuel shortages in the intensive care unit could lead to the deaths of dozens of children.

Similarly, director of the Indonesian hospital, Marwan Sultan, said that the intensive care unit has reached its maximum capacity and is filled with critical cases, in addition to the presence of 10 patients who depend on ventilators.

"The operating rooms are running non-stop around the clock," he added. "If Israel continues to block fuel deliveries, medical services could come to a complete halt, condemning these patients to death."

Ukraine's military has run out of money to pay its frontline troops in full this month, a top lawmaker has warned.

Speaking on Ukrainian TV on Friday, Roksolana Pidlasa, who chairs the parliamentary budgetary committee, signaled that Kiev's troops will receive a significantly smaller paycheck in September unless MPs approve amendments to the budget.

"The Defense Ministry tells us that they do not have the funds to hand out 'combat' payments by September 20," Pidlasa warned, referring to the deadline for transferring the money. She added, however, that lawmakers would vote on the amendments to the state budget before this date.

"I cannot specify the date of the parliamentary meeting now, but we expect this vote to take place around September 17-18," Pidlasa noted.

A news story concerning the horrifying deaths of four Trinidad scuba divers who were sucked into a pipeline continues to be one of the most widely read on Divernet - almost two years after the event.

Now a detailed report by Trinidad & Tobago's Commission of Enquiry (CoE) has concluded that state-owned oil company Paria Fuel Trading was culpable of "gross negligence and consequently criminal" in its handling of the fatal incident.

The report suggests that because Paria made "little or no attempt to rescue" the divers, the director of public prosecutions (DPP) should consider bringing a corporate manslaughter charge against it. And it has also recommended the prosecution of two individuals - one of whose son died in the tragedy.

Meanwhile Vanessa Kussie, the widow of diver Rishi Nagassar, has said that the bereaved families, who have been struggling ever since the incident, should be compensated for life based on the men's full pay. She has also called for the six-man board of directors of Paria, which has refused to accept liability for the deaths, to be removed.

The demonstration, held Saturday on Independence Day, was led by former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro - who said in response to Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes: "I hope that the Federal Senate puts the brakes on Alexandre de Moraes, this dictator who does more harm to Brazil than Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva himself."

Several notable X accounts, including journalist Michael Shellenberger, are reporting from Sao Paulo's main boulevard, where tens of thousands have gathered today in opposition to far-left Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes that recently blocked X nationwide.

Comment: Are we beginning to see the true face of Lula's rule?

300,000 protest in France over Macron's pick of Barnier as PM, poll reports 55% think election was 'stolen'

More than 100,000 left-wing demonstrators were reported to have taken to the streets across France to protest President Emmanuel Macron's decision to appoint centre-right Michel Barnier as PM, with left-wing parties accusing him of stealing legislative elections.

The interior ministry said 110,000 people took to the streets nationwide, including 26,000 in Paris, while one leading left-winger put the turnout across France at 300,000.

In addition to the capital, protests took in Nantes in the west, Nice and Marseille in the south and Strasbourg in the east as well.

Comment: With over half of population basically agreeing with the protesters, and with similar numbers to the years-long Yellow Vest protests, which were sparked by increased taxes, it's likely that more protests can be expected: Macron finally nominates France's new PM, controversial Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier; Left party calls for protests

Woman tells trial of husband who invited men to rape her: 'I was sacrificed on altar of vice'

A French woman whose husband has admitted drugging her and inviting more than 80 men to rape her over the course of a decade has said she "was sacrificed on the altar of vice" and treated "like a rag doll".

Gisèle Pélicot, 72, said "police saved my life" when they investigated her husband, Dominique Pélicot's, computer in November 2020, after a security guard caught him filming up the skirts of women in a supermarket near their home in a village in southern France.

Police said they found a file labelled "abuses" on a USB drive connected to his computer that contained 20,000 images and films of his wife being raped almost 100 times.

Recounting the moment in November 2020 when police first showed her images of a decade of sexual abuse orchestrated by her husband, Pélicot, who had been drugged to the point of unconsciousness, told the court: "My world fell apart. For me, everything was falling apart. Everything I had built up over 50 years."

She said she had barely recognised herself in the images, saying she was motionless. "I was sacrificed on the altar of vice," she said. "They regarded me like a rag doll, like a garbage bag.

"When you see that woman drugged, mistreated, a dead person on a bed - of course the body is not cold, it's warm, but it's as if I'm dead." She told the court rape was not a strong enough word, it was torture.

Comment: This is heart-breaking and disgusting. Each of these men should be investigated further since this is unlikely to be their first time taking advantage of women. Gisèle should be commended as her strength is bringing some of these men to justice and preventing other women from experiencing the same horrific fate.

A number of high-profile, conservative influencers in the US have said they are "victims" of an alleged Russian disinformation campaign, after the Biden administration accused Moscow of carrying out a sustained campaign to influence the outcome of November's presidential elections.

Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson published statements on Wednesday evening addressing allegations that a US content creation company they were associated with had been provided with nearly $10m from Russian state media employees to publish videos with messages in favour of Moscow's interests and agenda, including over the war in Ukraine.

The justice department indictment does not name the company, but describes it as a Tennessee-based content creation firm with six commentators and with a website identifying itself as "a network of heterodox commentators that focus on western political and cultural issues".

Comment: The accusations against the Russians are utterly absurd. This push by the DOJ was mainly about creating facts on the ground that bolster the lie that Russia is interfering with the US elections by funding misinformation.
