Fox News’ Carley Shimkus visited Madison Square Garden as supporters lined up in anticipation of former President Donald Trump’s rally on Sunday. Hundreds of would-be rally goers could be seen waiting outside the stadium even in the earliest hours of Sunday morning. Trump’s rally is not set to begin until the evening. Trump’s campaign is hoping to sway voters in New York, a state that hasn’t voted for a Republican presidential nominee in decades. Nevertheless, polls show Vice President Harris performing well below the typical Democrat in the state. Trump’s rally will feature big names from politics as well as celebrities like Elon Musk and UFC CEO Dana White. Tickets for the rally sold out in just hours. The stadium seats a maximum of 19,500 people. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)

In her latest jab at former President Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton is reaching deep into the archives, claiming that Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden this Sunday will “reenact” an infamous 1939 Nazi event held in the same venue. Yes, you read that right. In a CNN interview with Kaitlan Collins, Clinton accused Trump’s rally of echoing the American Nazi Party gathering nearly 85 years ago, where extremists gathered to express sympathies with Hitler’s Germany. “One other thing that you’ll see next week, Kaitlin, is Trump actually reenacting the [Nazi] Madison Square Garden rally in 1939,” Clinton said, reaching so far that even viewers had to do a double-take.

Noam Amir, the military analyst for Israel’s Channel 14 stated on Motzei Shabbos that the entire Israeli Air Force was mobilized in the attack on Iran.

Just think about how Israel would look without 90% of its air defense.” Amir also addressed the damage to Iran’s facilities for fuel and engines used for ballistic missiles. “We didn’t eliminate the ability to produce the missile itself, but we targeted the ability to build the missile engines and the fuel that powers them.
