American Thinker, Townhall and now RedState all have had intermittent virus warnings pop up on my Norton Antivirus. I think it is safe to assume intentional interdiction and pressure tactic by the lefty technocrats against conservative opinion sites?

I’ve been having trouble with PJ Media recently. I cleared my history, which for the moment has fixed the problem. Final daughter installed a content blocker for me — I only turn it off when I want to see tweets and YouTube videos.

[FoxNews] Pirro said that 1,300 barrels containing 363,000 pounds of benzyl alcohol and 334,000 pounds of N-Methylformamide were seized from two different vessels on the high seas. Both chemicals, Pirro said, are precursor chemicals that could have been used to produce 420,000 pounds of methamphetamine.
[NYPOST] A tow truck driver was arrested after allegedly laughing and filming himself while towing away an ICE vehicle, as agents struggled to detain an anti-ICE TikTok influencer in the country illegally.
Bobby Nunez, 33, was nabbed on Tuesday after he interfered with federal agents in downtown Los Angeles on Aug. 15 as they attempted to arrest 23-year-old Tatiana Mafla-Martinez, an undocumented immigrant from Colombia, according to a federal criminal complaint.
The agents had her vehicle pinned with two flashing law-enforcement SUVs at the exit of a luxury high-rise parking garage to prevent the anti-ICE TikTok influencer from escaping in her Tesla when Nunez allegedly stepped in.
As officers were struggling to place Mafla-Martinez under arrest, Nunez approached her car and tried opening the passenger side door.
When officers warned him he was interfering with a federal investigation and faced arrest, the brazen tow truck driver allegedly shot back, threatening that ''something was going to happen'' to them.
During this time, a second man approached Mafla-Martinez's Tesla, forcing the officers to switch their attention to him.
While distracted, Nunez allegedly ''got into his Dodge tow truck and towed one of the government vehicles that was boxing in Martinez's vehicle.''
''At the time of this interference, the government vehicle had its keys inside and a firearm locked in a safe inside it as well,'' the complaint states.
Nunez was allegedly laughing and filming while towing away the government vehicle and then posted the footage on social media, according to Fox News.
A viral video of the incident posted on X by Acting United States Attorney Bill Essayli shows agents cuffing the undocumented Democrat even as one officer dashed after the runaway tow truck on foot.
The government vehicle was eventually found about two blocks away.
A Homeland Security Investigation ultimately led to agents tracking Nunez down through videos posted on TikTok.
Cops located Nunez's tow truck sitting in a marked spot at the same upscale downtown LA apartment complex two days after the incident.
''Apparently he thought it would be funny to interfere with our immigration enforcement operations,'' Essayli wrote on X. ''Now he can laugh behind bars while he faces justice.''

I'm hoping they towed and impounded his tow truck.
Turnabout.

An emergency vehicle with lights on can't be illegally parked. That was on my Texas drivers license exam when I was 16.
What's with taking the side of the criminals? Lot of Democrats here.
[X] Secretly prepping to lose another war against Israel, or do they need that many troops to keep the Gazans on their side of the border?

[IsraelTimes] IDF publishes recording of Gazan telling COGAT terror operatives are threatening people not to flee city; UN panel claims 21,000 children disabled in war, source of data unclear
Israeli officials on Wednesday accused Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... of preventing civilians from evacuating Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... City ahead of Israel’s plans for a major offensive to conquer the area, saying the terror group was using them as human shields while amplifying claims of "forced displacement" to sway international opinion.
On Wednesday, the Israel Defense Forces released a recording it said was of a Gaza City man complaining of Hamas obstructing escape routes.
Despite those allegations, defense officials estimated that 70,000 to 80,000 people have fled the city so far, most of them in the past 72 hours (over the weekend, the number stood at 10,000). The figures are still far short of the city’s estimated one million residents, though officials expect departures to continue as the IDF presses its campaign.
"The Hamas terror organization is doing everything it can to block the population’s movement south in order to use civilians as human shields and for propaganda purposes," one security official said. "In practice, the public’s barrier of fear has been broken, and tens of thousands of residents have managed to bypass Hamas checkpoints and evacuate the city."
The allegations came as the IDF is making a range of preparations for the Gaza City offensive, which is expected to begin in the middle of the month. Israel is also taking measures to bolster humanitarian assistance in the regions south of Gaza City, where it is telling civilians to gather, and is conducting training for the tens of thousands of reservists called up ahead of the operation.
Evacuating civilians from the densely populated city has been a key part of Israel’s plan, and the IDF said the recording it released on Wednesday depicts a Gaza City resident telling an officer from the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), its liaison body to Paleostinians, that Hamas is preventing civilians from moving south.
"We want to go south but Hamas is blocking the way," a man’s voice is heard saying. "They tell people: Go back home, there is no evacuation, go back, go back — and people scatter."
The man adds that many residents are fearful, with some attempting to take side streets and alternative routes. According to the testimony, Hamas operatives are stationed along the seashore in western Gaza City and other areas, blocking main roads.
The IDF said the testimony highlights Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields to deter military operations. Hamas has rejected the evacuation plan as "forced displacement."
The terror group’s media office accused Israel of spreading "lies and misleading maps" and warned that designated humanitarian zones, including al-Mawasi and refugee camps in central Gaza, are already overcrowded and unsafe. Hamas-run outlets, including the al-Haras channel, have echoed the claims, asserting that no area in southern Gaza can be considered safe.
Israel has rejected those allegations and has said it is scaling up humanitarian infrastructure in southern Gaza, particularly in the al-Mawasi coastal area, in coordination with the UN, the US and regional partners. The zone is intended to accommodate up to two million people, with expanded deliveries of food, medicine and shelter supplies, as well as repairs to water and health facilities.
Those preparations come as international organizations have said there is widespread starvation and famine in parts of Gaza, a determination Israel has denied. On Wednesday, the Hamas-run health ministry reported that five adults and one child had died from malnutrition over the past day, bringing the total toll to 367, including 131 children.
Israel has taken steps to increase the flow of aid, though the UN and other humanitarian organizations have said the amount of aid entering Gaza is not nearly enough to remedy the dire conditions in the enclave.
Alongside the expansion of humanitarian infrastructure, the IDF said it is boosting operational and logistical preparedness for reservists called up for the planned Gaza City offensive, dubbed Operation "Gideon’s Chariots B."
Over the coming weeks, troops are due to participate in open-terrain and urban warfare exercises to strengthen readiness across the Gaza Strip. Advanced equipment and weapons, including drones for company and platoon-level commanders, have been deployed to enhance tactical capabilities.
In preparation for the large-scale call-up, the IDF has also upgraded military infrastructure, including new firing ranges, air-conditioned accommodations and hot-water showering facilities.
The Technology and Logistics Directorate is providing comprehensive support, covering personal gear, infrastructure, vehicle maintenance, daily logistics, and both medical and mental health care for the reservists.
On Tuesday, tens of thousands of reservists were called up for duty as the first phase of a wider draft for the planned offensive, amid reports of lower turnout rates than in previous rounds of call-ups. And on Wednesday, the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee voted 8-5 to pass an extension of an emergency military call-up order until September 30.
The order was previously extended on August 18 by a close vote of 8-7. The repeated extensions of the military call-up have long drawn criticism from opposition politicians, who have accused the government of overburdening exhausted reservists while simultaneously seeking to legislate draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men.
NAVY DRILLS
The IDF said Wednesday that the Israeli Navy conducted a joint exercise in the Mediterranean Sea on Monday with maritime combat management systems and the Gaza Division’s Northern Brigade.
Troops practiced a variety of combat scenarios along the maritime border and emergency procedures across command posts, aimed at enhancing readiness and real-time coordination between naval and ground forces.
The statement came days before a large activist flotilla is set to try to break the maritime blockade of Gaza, though there was no evidence to suggest the drill was connected to that.
Also on Wednesday, the IDF announced that the new Gaza head of the Mujahideen Brigades terror group had been killed in a joint Shin Bet and IDF operation in the Strip last week.
The military said Musbah Salim Musbah Dayyah, killed in Nuseirat, was involved in recruiting members in the West Bank and advancing terror attacks in that territory and in Israel, as well as attacks on IDF forces in Gaza.
It was the fourth time the IDF said it had eliminated the organization’s leader in the past few months, after Dayyah’s predecessors were also assassinated.
The IDF released footage of the strike.
The IDF said Mujahideen Brigades members had a "significant part" in the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, onslaught, and took an active part in murders and abductions.
Among those kidnapped by the group were Shiri Bibas and her children — Ariel, 4, and Kfir, 10 months. The three were later murdered in captivity and their bodies were returned in a deal earlier this year.
UN SAYS 21,000 KIDS LEFT DISABLED IN GAZA
A United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... committee said Wednesday that at least 21,000 children have become disabled in Gaza since the war between Israel and Hamas began on October 7, 2023.
The source for the data was unclear, and likely relied on Hamas’s numbers. The terror group includes all under-18s in that designation. Israeli officials note that it is not uncommon for older teens to join terror groups and take part in combat.
Around 40,500 children have suffered "new war-related injuries" in the nearly two years since the war erupted, with more than half of them left disabled, the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities said.
Reviewing the situation in the Paleostinian territories, it said Israeli evacuation orders during the army’s offensive in Gaza were "often inaccessible" to people with hearing or visual impairments, "rendering evacuation impossible."
"Reports also described people with disabilities being forced to flee in unsafe and undignified conditions, such as crawling through sand or mud without mobility assistance," it said.
The committee said the restrictions on humanitarian aid being brought into the Gaza Strip were disproportionately impacting the disabled.
"People with disabilities faced severe disruptions in assistance, leaving many without food, clean water, or sanitation and dependent on others for survival," it said.
Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella grabbed the cocoanut cream... hospital officials told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named at least 24 people were killed in strikes overnight into Wednesday.
Nasser Hospital said it received 10 bodies, including one aid-seeker in Rafah and a child killed by a strike in southern Gaza. Shifa Hospital said the bodies of 14 people, including two children and four women, arrived on Wednesday while al-Quds Hospital said it received another person killed by Israeli strikes.
Israel has intensified air and ground assaults on the outskirts of Gaza City, particularly in western neighborhoods where people are being driven to flee toward the coast, according to humanitarian groups that coordinate assistance for the displaced.
Site Management Cluster, one such group, said on Wednesday that families were trapped by the prohibitively high cost of moving, logistical hurdles and a lack of places to go.
"Paleostinians are also reluctant to move due to the fear of not being able to return or exhaustion from repeated displacement,” it said.
