Musk, the billionaire owner of X, formerly Twitter, and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, joined Trump onstage in Butler on Saturday to show his support for the Republican and state that he is "not just MAGA — I am Dark MAGA."

A number of people have mocked Musk's appearance at the Butler rally on Saturday on social media, as well as criticizing his public speaking efforts.

Trump has swerved military service five times - once by medical disqualification and then four more times for academic reasons

Donald Trump accepted a Purple Heart medal from a Vietnam War veteran, despite famously dodging military service himself.

The Republican presidential nominee has been branded “disrespectful” and “disgusting” for accepting the medal, given to him for his response to the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.

...

Critics of Trump blasted the former president as "disrespectful" because the Purple Heart medal is given to service members who have greatly sacrificed themselves in war for the US military.

...

“This is such performative nonsense,” someone else said. “Someone needs to tell everyone there, especially Trump and Dwight, that’s not how it works. Only the US military can officially give someone a Purple Heart, and that person has to be in the military.”

Schiff’s remarks come days after President Joe Biden said he didn’t know whether the upcoming election would be “peaceful.”

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Sunday echoed President Joe Biden's remarks last week that the upcoming election would be "free and fair," but maybe not "peaceful."

"If it is close, if [former President] Donald Trump loses again, as I expect that he will, he will contest it," Schiff told moderator Kristen Welker on NBC News' "Meet the Press." "He has more reason to contest it than he did before, not because of any flaw in the election, but because Donald Trump believes, and perhaps with reason, that if he doesn't succeed at the ballot box, he may be going to jail. So he's going to challenge the results."

His comments follow remarks from Biden at the White House press briefing room on Friday, in which the president told reporters he was confident that the upcoming election "will be free and fair" but didn't know "whether it will be peaceful."

As Israelis approached the beginning of the high holy days last week on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the news began to circulate. Several IDF units fighting on the border with Lebanon had taken casualties in at least two different locations. Soldiers had died in combat, and many were wounded.

The confirmation of the wounded and dead, if not the circumstances served as a stark reminder for Israelis of the blows that come in war, even as Israel’s punishing air offensive has killed hundreds of Lebanese and wounded more. The soldiers’ deaths came after two weeks in which Israel struck a series of blows against Hezbollah, including the assassination of the group’s leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and most of the top leadership.

Underlining that sense of hazard was another story that revealed itself slowly last week: how the wave of Iranian missiles launched against Israel had not been as inconsequential as initially claimed by Israel’s leadership, and instead shown that a large-scale strike could not only overwhelm Israel’s anti-missile defences but thatTehran could accurately explode warheads on the targets it was aiming for, in this case several military bases.

All of which raises serious questions as Israel prepares for a “significant” military response to Iran for the its missile attack.
