7 Things: U.S. hits Iran-linked sites in Syria; Democrats trying end-run past Tuberville; and more …

7. The manhunt for Robert Card, who allegedly shot up a bowling alley and a bar and killed at least 18 people, continues with a special border patrol team involved, searches of two separate family homes, his car being found with a gun and phone in it, speculation about a boat, and a suicide note being revealed.

6. U.S. Rep. Jamall Bowman (D-N.Y.) is a liar and he will get away with attempting to disrupt a government operation after pulling a fire alarm, lying about it, and then cutting a deal with Washington, D.C., Democrat District Attorney Brian Schwalb. House Minority Leader and 2016 election denier Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) says that he has seen the video but it is not worth censuring him.

5. U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) has walked back his pledge to only serve five terms, saying, “God still has a plan for me. I need to change my mind, so I am going to run again.” That decision is not stopping people from challenging with Ken McFeeters, an owner of an insurance agency, and businessman Gerrick Wilkins joining the race.

4. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) is still rattling Democrats in Washington, who are looking for a way to work around his holds on promotions and appointments. Meanwhile, in Alabama, former U.S. Senate leaders Trent Lott and Tom Daschle, who both resigned in disgrace, complained about the job Tuberville is doing.

3. The Biden administration deserves praise for its acknowledgment that the Gaza health ministry is a front for Hamas, its military, and its propaganda machine. President Joe Biden says he has “no confidence” in Hamas’ casualty counts and Secretary of State Antony Blinken made it clear that he has no faith in the numbers the terrorist organization puts out.

2. Democrats do not like Israel and because President Joe Biden has decided to meekly support Israel, they are abandoning him in pretty large numbers. Over the last month, Biden has shed 11 points among Democrats and some are suggesting Biden may not even be on the ballot.

1. The United States has hit two sites in Syria that are being used by Iranian-backed militants right as Iran sent its foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian to speak at the United Nations and threaten the United States saying, “if the genocide in Gaza continues, they will not be spared from this fire.” U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) slammed the Biden administration for being weak on Iran, “We have got to go back to a strategy of maximum pressure, of bone-crushing sanctions.”
