"What is it with Democrats and their fake supporters, fake accents, fake backgrounds, fake accomplishments? Is it because they think voters are that shallow and stupid? Or because they don't want anyone to know how incredibly out of touch they are with regular Americans?

This week, to cite just the most recent example, a group of 'Republicans for Talarico' disbanded after it turned out that they were actually just a bunch of lifelong Democrats in disguise, but not before MS NOW gave them some free airtime.

'The people that [Talarico] had come out and say that they were on his team have been proven to be basically Democrat, liberal activists that have been supporting Democrat candidates for 10-plus years,' Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters told Fox News Digital.

The Talarico campaign distanced itself from these folks after their cover was blown. But everything about Talarico is as fake, from his Christianity to his barbecue photo op."

"In a race that showcased Democrats' struggle between the ideological left and center, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley managed a razor-thin victory over his democratic socialist challenger. The race was so close that neither side could claim a decisive victory.

"In other contests, experience was rewarded in two governors' races and voters went for generational change in voting out a House incumbent.

"For Republicans, a contest to replace the late Sen. Lindsey Graham pitted his sister, Darline Graham, against far more experienced candidates. But she also had the endorsement of President Donald Trump, and she secured a spot in a runoff election later this month.

"Here are some takeaways from the night's elections."

"Cyberattacks against water and wastewater systems reportedly have reached at least a dozen states, with threat actors exploiting low-complexity attacks against industrial controllers. The intrusions, possibly linked to the Iranian government, prove the US's water infrastructure remains dangerously exposed.

"In recent weeks, water and wastewater organizations associated with a number of different US states have disclosed cyberattacks against their systems. Minnesota was the first to confirm such attacks late last month, saying that cyberattackers targeted operational technology (OT) systems for more than 30 water systems. Around the same time on July 30, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) updated an earlier advisory warning of 'a significant increase in cyber-threat actors targeting programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in the Water and Wastewater Systems (WWS) Sector.'

"The US cyber agency said threat actors were modifying PLC passwords to lock out operators and also disconnecting PLCs by changing their IP addresses. 'CISA urges critical infrastructure owners, operators, and integrators to remove publicly exposed PLCs and other OT from the Internet as soon as possible,' CISA said at the time.

"This CISA advisory followed the FBI updating an April warning on July 22 that Iranian threat actors are targeting PLCs in critical infrastructure manufactured by Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and possibly other vendors."

"One day, the United States seems ready to unleash a Curtis LeMay-style devastating bombing campaign of Iran. The next, it appears trapped in endless haggling with Iranian dissimulators.

"Of the roughly 150 days since the first strike, about 90 have passed without major military operations.

"Iran believes time is on its side. The Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted, gas prices are too high, and antiwar House Democrats seem poised to win the midterms and bring Trump's war to a halt.

"Trump, by contrast, believes Iran can talk all it wants while sanctions, embargoes, and military pressure steadily weaken the regime.

"The war has become so politicized in an election year that several basic realities have gone largely unnoticed by the media."

"For nearly 40 years, the global warming cabal has spread fear and wasted resources on an emergency that doesn't exist. While their influence has begun to wane, as their credibility has crashed and their lies have been exposed, the fabrications, exaggerations, and junk science continue. How much longer must we endure their campaign of rancid propaganda? ...

"Washington Gov. Jay Inslee reflexively blamed his state's wildfires on climate change. Soon thereafter, a man was arrested in connection with one of the three fires burning through Spokane County and has been questioned in arson investigations into other fires. And as our friends at Power Line have noted, wildfire damage in terms of acres burned peaked nearly a century ago and, in fact, is down more than 80%."

"Hamas officials routinely bullied and intimidated employees of U.S.-funded NGOs operating in Gaza in order to control their operations, according to a confidential probe by American investigators that was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The probe reveals that Hamas threatened to sic its fearsome police force on aid workers and even tried to access the NGOs' private employee data as the terror group moved to establish outposts at hospitals and redirect aid to meet its needs.

"The June investigatory report by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) inspector general's office, an independent law enforcement entity separate from the largely defunct USAID, provides definitive proof that Hamas is interfering in aid operations and threatening workers on the ground. In one case, Hamas Ministry of Interior personnel 'attempted to obtain employee data' from a U.S.-funded NGO and, in another, ordered a humanitarian group 'to provide material support to some specific families that they had identified.' In the second case, Hamas officials warned that failure to comply with their order would result in 'the police' shutting down the group's aid operation.

"Hamas's police force is instrumental in repression -- maintaining political control and crushing dissent -- inside Gaza. The Free Beacon previously reported that the Hamas police installed makeshift torture chambers at Gaza hospitals."

"Will illegal immigration be the death of Europe?

"Given the unchecked flood of illegal immigration now taking place across the European continent and Britain, the headline above asks a valid question: Will Europe in the future exist only as a territory, but not as a civilization and a culture?

"Spain is the latest flashpoint in Europe's battle to maintain control over its borders.

"Last week's stunning border break in Ceuta, a North African enclave that has been part of Spain for over 400 years, should be a wake-up call for all of Europe and the U.S., too. More than 60,000 migrants crossed en masse, with at least 57 dying in the violent chaos of breaking through the border and swimming ashore to Ceuta, population 80,000.

"Blame Spain for the surge."

"Thirty-one states have opted in to the federal Education Freedom Scholarship Program, while 19 states and Washington, D.C. have not done so, ahead of the January 2027 deadline.

"The Trump administration launched the school choice initiative in 2025 through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This created a federal income tax credit of up to $1,700 annually for individuals who donate to certified Scholarship Granting Organizations.

"SGOs would then distribute funds to families for education expenses, including tuition, tutoring, curriculum and instructional materials.

"U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon and other supporters of school choice have said these programs place parents back in the driver's seat of their child's education, providing more flexibility and options for the family."

"Democrats have borrowed a medieval antisemitic conspiracy theory for their midterm campaign message.

"For centuries, this evil theory has been used to persecute Jews.

"The basic outline is always the same. It holds that the Jews, a small group of people from a distant land, who live differently than the rest of us, secretly control everything in our society through their money or their intelligence: We can only be free once they are stripped of their power, expelled -- or eliminated. ...

"Democrats -- most of them, anyway -- are smart enough not to name 'Jews' as the bad guys, so they pick on 'AIPAC' instead."

"Last week, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's short stint as a faux president ended with an embarrassing acknowledgment that he could not, as promised during his campaign, arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"So, this week, Mamdani the Grocer made a reappearance, with details on the five city-run grocery stores that he will open.

"But rather than deliver discount groceries, Mamdani is selling New Yorkers a bill of goods that will cost them millions."
