We're All Paying A Deadly Price For Obama's Foreign Policy; And now it’s Joe Biden’s legacy too.

 David Harsanyi (thefederalist.com)

"Democrats blamed their strawman, Benjamin Netanyahu, not Hamas or Iran, for trying to “drag” the world into war. The New York Times’ Tom Friedman, perhaps the wrongest person ever to tread on this planet, theorized that the prime minister wanted “a war to shore up his own crumbling political base.' ”

"If a belligerent state launched 186 explosive drones, 36 cruise missiles, and 110 surface-to-surface missiles from three fronts against civilian targets within the United States, would Joe Biden call it a “win”?

"Would the president tell us that the best thing we can do now is show “restraint”? What if that same terror state’s proxy armies had recently helped murder, rape, and kidnap more than 1,000 American men, women, and children? What if this terror state were trying to obtain nuclear weapons so it could continue to agitate without any consequences?

"This is what Joe Biden and the Barack Obama acolytes, Iranian dupes, and Israel antagonists he’s surrounded himself with demand of Jewish State.

"And by “Iranian dupes,” I don’t only mean the Jake Sullivans and Antony Blinkens of the world, who worked to elevate the mullahs over Sunni allies and the Israelis, or even a Hamas-bestie like Rob Malley or Israel-hater like Maher Bitar. I mean assets of the Islamic State who promised the Iranian government to help out in any way possible.

"Their worldview is a cancer that’s metastasized within the Democratic Party. To these people, Israel will always be the villain. And if the Iranian regime’s murder of more than 600 American servicemen couldn’t cool that bromance, 1,300 dead Jews certainly aren’t going to do the trick.

"To begin with, Jared Kushner’s Middle East policy efforts were, by every measure, more successful than not only Obama’s efforts but the decades of Brookings Institute-endorsed failures the region has endured. The Trump administration undercut Palestinian terror efforts, stifled Iranian ambitions, and created space for the Gulf States and Israel to enhance ties." . . .

. . ."But to truly comprehend how demented our foreign policy has become, consider this: Iran reportedly informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, and the U.S. told Iran through Ankara that the attack should be “within certain limits.” This is a longtime ally of the United States we’re talking about — and a foe that’s murdered and kidnapped Americans for decades."...

Iran Insanity; "Remember when Democrats said Donald Trump was too uncouth to carry out diplomacy? Right."

 Power Line (powerlineblog.com)   "Two friends of mine comment on the Obama/Biden administration’s bizarre partiality toward Iran. In the New York Post, Glenn Reynolds writes:

Post-[Iran’s] attack [on Israel]— going further yet beyond parody — the Biden administration’s chief effort has been aimed at demanding Israel not retaliate.

That’s right. Israel has had more than a thousand of its citizens raped, tortured, murdered and kidnapped, it’s been subjected to a massive missile attack, and it’s being told to exercise “restraint.”

The Biden administration even organized G7 leaders to demand that Israel not respond.

Is this ineptitude, or is it corruption?

As the girl in the taco commercials says, “Why not both?”

"I would like to see Biden endorse massive retaliation by Israel with a view toward trying to bring about regime change in Iran. But, as I wrote here, I will be satisfied if Biden stays out of Israel’s way. And I assume Israel’s leaders will ignore pro forma calls for “restraint.” I hope so, anyway." . . .

US Government Paid for Iran’s Attack on Israel | The Epoch Times

A good argument can be made that President Barack Obama’s and then President Joe Biden’s relaxation of or disregard for sanctions against Iran that netted the Islamic Republic billions in oil revenue and outright gifts created all the recent mayhem in the Middle East from Hezbollah to Hamas to the Houthis to, now, Iran’s attack on Israel.

"Biden would say, “We didn’t give them those dollars. We gave them different dollars.” And who knows? Democratic Party voters might be dumb enough to buy it." . . .

The grueling process to find five more impartial Trump jurors

 Inside the unforgiving selection that saw a bookseller who listens to NPR in the shower dismissed for being too political | Daily Mail Online 

Of the first batch of 96 prospective jurors, more than half had put up their hands on Monday to say they did not think they could be impartial.  

   "Prosecutor Josh Steinglass asked each of the 18 prospective jurors in front of him to look across at Donald Trump and then take a long look inside themselves and decide whether they were up to the job of deciding guilt or innocence.

" 'You have to be able to come back from your deliberations and look the defendant in the eye and say "guilty.'

" 'And only you can know that.'

" The defendant knew exactly where to look. He wrenched his body around to the right facing them, and delivered a penetrating glare as each in turn answered 'yes.'

"It made for a dramatic moment on day two of Trump's hush money trial. The former president went eye-to-eye with some of the Manhattan men and women who will deliver one of the most important verdicts in history." . . . 

KANGAROO COURT: Jesse Watters Reviews First Seven NYC Jurors in Trump's Rigged Criminal Case - And It's Just What We Expected  . . ."Merchan’s daughter is a top activist for Democrats and Joe Biden campaign.  Merchan is pushing charges against Trump that are not a crime.  He needs jurors who believe like he does that President Trump is guilty of a crime because he is still breathing.

"Jesse Watters reviewed the first seven jurors selected for Trump’s criminal trial in Merchan’s kangaroo court.

"They all get their news from the far-left New York Times. No one who takes the reporting and nonsense published at the NYT seriously is even slightly conservative. The trial is rigged.

Jesse Watters: Over half of the jury has already been selected. We already know a lot about them, and it is hysterical. Before we tell you about them, remember that this is a Manhattan jury. It went 87% for Biden. The judge who’s overseeing the selection process is a Biden donor whose family was paid by the Biden campaign. Yesterday, 50 white women wearing masks fled the courtroom, claiming they couldn’t be fair to Trump. Anyone wearing a mask at this point is not an impartial juror…

…Show me a juror who says they can be unbiased towards Trump, and I’ll show you a liar. That’s why we don’t have political trials in America. Fairness is impossible. Trump’s legal team was given the names of potential jurors, and after googling them, discovered there were undercover activists trying to sneak onto the jury. One juror couldn’t recall any anti-Trump feeling, but when the defense showed him the receipts, he admitted he’d posted on social media, Donald Trump should be locked up. Another juror said he didn’t remember posting anything bad about Trump. Then when shown the evidence, conceded to He’s posting a picture that says, Trump invites Thai boys to the White House. Thai boys request to return to cage. Those two radical liberals got caught lying to the court and were almost seated on the jury. This is what Trump has to deal with. Yesterday, Clay Travis was criticized for suggesting Trump supporters get on the jury.

So far, seven jurors have been seated. Here’s what we know about them." . . . More here

Texas High Schoolers Chant ‘From the River to the Sea’ During Anti-Israel Walkout

The school gave the poorly-educated kids an excused absence, too.

"We saw San Francisco students walking out of school yelling, “From the river to the sea.”

"McMillen High School’s Muslim Student Association (MSA), located in Plano, TX, also staged a massive walkout.

"The students also chanted, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!”

"The school even gave the students an excused absence. I wonder if the school would give the students an excused absence if they participated in a pro-Israel rally.

"Parents, if your kid is singing “From the river to the sea,” you have a major problem." . . .

UPDATE: Dark Money Group Funding Hamas Protests – HotAir 

"Of course it is George Soros who is funding the Pro-Hamas protests that shut down major highways yesterday. 

"It's almost as if the guy enjoys being considered a supervillain even more than he wants to destroy Western culture.. . .

. . ."I have never understood Soros' hatred for the West. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was all about "Open Societies," and early on I assumed he would be a good guy despite his rather nasty way of making his money. 

"Boy, was I wrong. Admittedly, I caught onto his shtick pretty quickly, but I am still ashamed that I never thought nice things about him. 

"These days, Soros has his fingers in every poisonous pie, working diligently to destroy all that is good.

That billionaires are funding the closure of our cities tells us everything you need to know about the sickness enervating our culture. Our Elite has chosen a side, which isn't you or me.  They may come to regret that choice, but if and when they do it will be too late.

Black Women in Charge - Ann Coulter

Why can we not have more in Congress like Ben Carson, Condoleezza Rice, Bernice King, Harris Faulkner, Kevin Corke, Lawrence Jones (who was told to "pick cotton" by an "anti-Trump liberal"), Tim Scott, and Larry Elder, to barely scratch the surface? TD

 "I think we’re all on board with the idea that one shouldn’t be denied a job because of his race or sex. What we’re learning the hard way is that no one should be given a job for these characteristics, either." Ann Coulter 

“The powerful Jews are my enemy,” declared Farrakhan, who once
 openly praised Adolf Hitler. Maxine Waters embraces him here.

Ann Coulter     "The Claudine Gay affair reminds me that we need a reckoning on how the “intersectionality” project is going.

"The idea was that after centuries of being kept down by racism and sexism — although that didn’t seem to hurt accomplished black women like Barbara Jordan, Condi Rice, Jessye Norman, Zora Neale Hurston and on and on — black women would finally be given a fair shot. Think of all that untapped talent!

"But so far, intersectionality has mostly placed a lot of black women in high-profile jobs far beyond their abilities. Or as the former Harvard president once said, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

"This will be the first in a series of columns I will issue periodically reflecting on the accomplishments of those at the top of the “intersectionality” heap. We’ll start with two heroic black lady prosecutors.

"Marilyn Mosby started the trend of fabulous black women saving America by becoming prosecutors. One of her first cases involved a notorious Baltimore heroin dealer, Freddie Gray, who sustained fatal injuries while being transported in the back of a police van. A mere 10 days later, Mosby charged all six officers involved (three black and three white) with crimes up to murder and manslaughter, after summarily blowing off the police investigation, but without having completed her own investigation first.

"For this, Mosby was instantly acclaimed as a national hero! She was photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue, invited onstage at a Prince benefit concert, featured on the “Today” show, named the 2015 Junius W. Williams Young Lawyer of the Year by the National Bar Association, given a Woman of Courage Award from the National Women’s Political Caucus that same year, and chosen as 2016 Newsmaker of the Year, among the nonstop accolades." . . .

Nothing Is Going to Bump Jill Biden From the Elder-Abuse Train     ". . .yes, this is another discussion about joe biden being addled, embarrassing, and a detriment to the security of the country. these are tough to avoid because joe biden is, after all, addled, embarrassing, and a detriment to the security of the country. 

"I'm going a little easy on him there. He's actually a detriment to the security of a lot of people all over the world. 

"Joe Biden had already mentally lost a step or three thousand when he got into office in 2021. He was never the sharpest tool in anyone's shed in the first place, so the drop-off was disturbing once it was paired with access to the launch codes." . . .

Republicans slam Biden’s ‘Don’t’ deterrence: ‘Every time he says Don’t, they do’     . . ."Biden’s "Don’t" comment was slammed by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo even before the Iranian attack, with the former Trump administration official arguing that Biden’s response was "really dangerous" during an appearance on Fox News.

"Well, he said, ‘Don’t’ multiple times, and ‘Don’t’ isn’t a national security policy," Pompeo said. "It’s not even a deterrent.". . .
