Lebanon Says 492 Dead as Israel Strikes 1,600 Hezbollah Targets The Israeli military said it hit more than 1,600 Hezbollah-terrorist-group targets in Lebanon on Monday, killing 492 people, and raising the specter of an expanding regional conflict. More than 1,600 people were wounded in the strikes and thousands have fled, with the main highway out of the southern port city of Sidon jammed with cars heading toward Beirut. At a Sept. 23 cabinet meeting, Lebanon's caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, called the barrage a "genocide in every sense of the word." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that his nation faces "complicated days" ahead and called for citizens to stay united as the campaign continues. Earlier, the IDF urged residents of southern Lebanon, which borders northern Israel, to evacuate homes and other buildings where Hezbollah stores weapons, as Israel said it was set to carry out "extensive strikes" against the terrorist group.

Nebraska Unlikely to Go Winner-Take-All Nebraska state Sen. Mike McDonnell, a Democrat-turned-Republican, said he won't support switching the state's electoral vote process to winner-take-all, denying a critical vote needed to implement the change. McDonnell said he clarified his stance to Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen. He also suggested that the Republicans pursuing the change go for a referendum as a proposed constitutional amendment, so voters can decide the issue "once and for all" on the ballot. Nebraska and Maine are the only states that do not use a winner-take-all system for electoral votes. In Nebraska, two of the five electoral votes go to the candidate who wins the statewide popular vote, while the remaining three are awarded to the winners of each of the state's three congressional districts. Maine Democrats had threatened to switch to winner-take-all if Nebraska went through with the change. But they ran past a deadline to implement a counter-move earlier this month.

CCP Ideological Warfare America's leadership has been willfully blind to the true nature of the Chinese communist threat, and the most important battleground isn't the military front—It's ideological, says John Lenczowski, the founder and chancellor of The Institute of World Politics. "The Chinese have 600 front organizations operating in the United States today trying to influence all sorts of segments of our society," Lenczowski told our colleague Jan Jekielek, in a recent American Thought Leaders episode. America needs to counterattack. Lenczowski, the principal Soviet affairs advisor to President Ronald Reagan, argues America should set up a Manhattan Project-type effort to break down China's internet blockade, restrict the entry of Chinese intelligence collectors into the United States, and support Chinese dissident movements.

He sat down with The Epoch Times to discuss his roles and faith-based films.
Once in four different TV series, including "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" and "Beverly Hills, 90210," Cain has decided to take a different route: starring in and producing movies. In the most recent installment of the "God's Not Dead" franchise, Cain plays a villain. It's a marked departure from his earlier roles as the squeaky clean Clark Kent.
Cain's choice to reprise the character comes down to the movie's clear moral message. He sees it as a way to emphasize the impact that spirituality and right action has on our lives without being preachy. He believes "God's Not Dead: In God We Trust" is a solid example of a pro-faith, pro-patriotism film. | | | | | EPOCH TV | | | | | | OPINION | | | | | | EPOCH FUN | | | |
