MSNBC's Super Tuesday panel draws backlash for laughing off Virginia exit polls on immigration
"Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Jen Psaki to apologize after the pair mocked voters for being concerned about the border crisis as they cast their ballots during Super Tuesday elections.
Cruz demanded they apologize during "The Faulkner Focus" on Thursday, arguing the controversial panel discussion is indicative how "out of touch" the mainstream media is with American voters.
" 'I mentioned Jeremy Caceres a second ago. He was murdered about 30 miles away from Jen Psaki's $1.7 million home in Arlington, Virginia, but from her perspective, that apparently is a laughing matter," Cruz told Harris Faulkner on Thursday.
" 'She doesn't understand why families are concerned when their children are being murdered by illegal aliens," he continued.
" 'Well, you know what? Across the country, a whole lot of families understand, and we want to protect our families. We want to support law enforcement and secure the border, and I think that clip is emblematic of how out of touch the corporate media is… they're sitting there laughing at who are these peasants to be worried about this? It's why so many people are understandably upset."

Nick Arama – RedState "There are probably few people I would find more odious than the execrable Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), and I would really like it if Steve Garvey were to blow Schiff away in the Senate race in California.
"The disgraced former Intelligence Committee member was on "Meet the Press" on Sunday when he made some concerning remarks about former President Donald Trump and the intelligence community.
"Kristen Welker asked him about the fact that U.S. intelligence officials are planning to provide briefings for Trump once he officially secures the Republican nomination for president. That is expected to happen this month. Welker asked if Schiff as the "former Chair of the House Intelligence Committee" thought it was appropriate for Trump to receive intelligence briefings given he's been charged over his handling of classified documents." . . .
"During the interview, Schiff also said "Knowing the intelligence community as I do..." Either he's stupid or he's been so emboldened by what he's gotten away with, he doesn't know he shouldn't be tipping his hand at this point and saying that about the IC. He now should be asked who do you know who would do this? It serves as a reminder that we need to be concerned about the IC going forward.
"What's also funny here is that Welker asks this question of Schiff who is incredibly untrustworthy. He was kicked off the House Intelligence Committee, according to then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, because he "lied to the American public."
"They understand that, and even agree with it quietly," he said. "They understand Hamas is part of the Iranian terror axis." Rafah is where four Hamas battalions are located, according toThe Jersualem Post.
Madeleine Hubbard"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he plans on continuing Israel's operation in the Gaza Strip by entering Rafah, which President Joe Biden called his "red line" in the Israel-Hamas War.
"Biden has been sending humanitarian aid to Gaza, where six Americans have been held hostage since Oct. 7, 2023, as he has been increasing pressure on Israel to protect Gazans. Tensions most recently flared between the two global leaders during Biden's MSNBC interview that aired Saturday.
" 'What is your red line with Prime Minister Netanyahu? Do you have a red line?" host Jonathan Capehart asked Biden. "For instance, would invasion of Rafah, which you have urged him not to do, would that be a red line?"
" 'It is a red line, but I'm never gonna leave Israel," Biden responded. "The defense of Israel is still critical, so there's no redline I'm going to cut off all weapons so I don't have the iron dome to protect them, but there's redlines that if he crosses – you cannot have 30,000 more Palestinians dead as a consequence of going after Hamas."
"Biden was referring to the death toll promulgated by the Gaza Health Ministry of more than 30,000 killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, although the Hamas-run agency does not distinguish between combatant and civilian casualties. Israel launched an operation against Hamas after the Oct. 7 attacks that left about 1,200 people dead in Israel and resulted in the kidnappings of 250 others as approximately 130 remain captive.
Netanyahu, however, rebuffed Biden's criticism on Sunday when he was asked about whether Israeli forces would enter Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
" 'We'll go there. We're not going to leave them. You know, I have a red line. You know what the red line is? That October 7 doesn't happen again. Never happens again," Netanyahu said, according to Politico.
"Netanyahu also said several Arab leaders, whom he did not name, tacitly supported his efforts to oust Hamas from power in the strip." . . .
The United States and the international community continue to push Israel to create a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip when the war is over, but as I demonstrate on In Focus, the parties involved don’t want it. The Palestinians want to annihilate Israel and Israel wants to continue existing.
. . ."I don’t even think the politburo in Pyongyang would go this far, and they have North Koreans thinking Kim Jong Un can hear their thoughts. I wonder if Scarborough still thinks Biden is at his best after that disastrous State of the Union, where his Irish fury did bubble up, and he ranted like a crazy man. The temper never left, and it’s at a point in the White House where staffers reportedly have a buddy system when an aide is set to get his or her rear end chewed out by the cantankerous, half-braindead president who can’t remember when his son died." . . .

If Churchill had Biden as an ally in 1940, he and his war cabinet would all have been slain with a pro-Nazi government ruling the UK. Biden would have been one more Quisling or Laval ruling Britain's allies. The one bright spot for England would have been that Biden would be Britain's least intelligent adversary. TD
UPDATED: "The Biden administration goes on a full-on assault on Israel saying Netanyahu needs a "coming to Jesus" moment. announces a port that will deliver lots of aid into the hands of Hamas, and continues to work to overthrow the Israeli government."
"Nobody is hunting anyone down," FDNY spokesman Jim Long told Fox News Digital in an email on Sunday morning. "We’re looking into those who clearly broke department regulations. It has nothing to do with politics. It’s about professionalism at an official event held in a house of worship."
The New York Post first reported that FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens wrote in an email to department brass that the FDNY’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials was investigating the incident and "will figure out who those members are." . . .
"However, neither New York State nor New York City is a free society anymore. Instead, the FDNY commissioner announced that the malfeasors must turn themselves in for punishment and reeducation or be hunted down (emphasis mine): . . .
UPDATE: "'Outnumbered' panelists weigh in after some members of the Fire Department of New York booed Attorney General Letita James during a promotion ceremony."
"If the FDNY tries to discipline the firefighters who used their first amendment rights to voice an opinion. The unions better defend their members, and bring lawsuits against the FDNY."
"One Israeli expert frequently consulted by American officials says, “I have been asked by a serious administration figure what it is that will force the Netanyahu coalition to collapse. They were interested in the mechanics, what can we demand which will collapse his coalition.' ” A.W.
This makes one ashamed to be an American!
The Biden administration is trying to topple Netanyahu’s government - Andrea Widburg"Biden has never made a secret of his hatred for Bibi Netanyahu (and it’s easy to see why a stupid, draft-dodging man would hate an intelligent, accomplished warrior). Still, he’s now taking that hatred to new levels as he actively works to interfere in Israeli politics. For decades, leftists told us that it was morally wrong to try to affect a nation’s internal politics, but that doesn’t apply when the nation is a liberal democratic ally…and the world’s only Jewish state.
"The New York Intelligencer reported on sources saying that Biden intends to overthrow Netanyahu, the democratically elected leader of a U.S. ally (emphasis mine):
In the past month, he has, through a series of relatively quiet but closely linked and deliberate moves, sought to marginalize Bibi, as Netanyahu is ubiquitously known, internationally and at home. The change spilled out publicly on Thursday night following the State of the Union address, when Biden announced he ordered the U.S. military to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza via a sea pier. After the speech, Biden was stopped by Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado, who told him to “keep pushing” Israel’s leader. Smiling, Biden said, “I told him, ‘Bibi,’— don’t repeat this— ‘you & I are going to have a come to Jesus moment.” Hidden behind Secretary of State Antony Blinken, a presidential aide whispered, “Sir, you’re on a hot mic,” to which a buoyant Biden replied, “I’m on a hot mic here. Good. That’s good.” . . .

I am an Israelioutraged at Biden's betrayal of Israel by forcing a stop to the war in Gaza & preventing Israel from winning & eradicating Hamas & forcing on Israel a terrorist Palestinian state as a reward for the massacres & rapes of Jews to appease antisemitic leftist voters
Obviously the Democrats prefer this woman to Donald Trump:
“ 'You’ve got to finish the problem,” Trump said on Fox News on Tuesday when asked about the war. “You had a horrible invasion that took place that would have never happened if I was president.' ”
"Orban released a video on X, formerly Twitter, praising Trump on Sunday after he visited the former president's Mar-a-Lago Estate in Florida last week.
"As president, Trump "commanded respect in the world, and thus created the conditions for peace," Orban said in the video, according to English subcaptions. "During his presidency, there was peace in the Middle East and peace in Ukraine. And there would be no war today if he were still president of the United States." . . .
