The World Is Paying Deadly Price For Barack Obama’s Foreign Policy Legacy

 B.D. Hobbs - NewsRadio  

"In a series of bootlicking exchanges during a sit-down interview, former President Barack Obama and Democratic sycophant Stephen Colbert engaged in eye-rolling flirtatious banter. "“I just want to take a moment to drink you in for just a moment because I’m having to get used to looking at a President again' ” . . .

 "As the crisis in the Middle East continues, we are witnessing more and more of the consequences of former president Barack Obama's foreign policy legacy.

" 'I just think Obama came from a tradition that saw the world very differently, and saw America sort of as a colonialist power" said David Harsanyi, senior editor with The Federalist, "And for him, he doesn't really see any big moral difference between Iran and Israel."

"As bad as Bill Clinton was, he was still pro America on most key issues. But with Obama, that's when we got our first glimpse of the left's truly radical agenda, and the beginning of America 'last' from the Democrats and our own U.S. government.

"Barack Obama was focused on bolstering Iran and the Middle East. And now his foreign policy legacy has become Joe Biden's legacy as well.

" 'Biden wants to be loved by the party" Harsanyi told KTRH, "But he's made the anti-Israel people mad in the Democratic party, he's made pro-Israel people mad in his party. No one is listening to him, there's no coherent Middle East policy."

"If you remember, Donald Trump did more for Israel than any president in U.S. history. But just like with everything else, Joe Biden reversed it. Now the Democrats are openly boasting about their pro-Hamas support, while turning their backs on Israel."

The U.S. and the world is paying a deadly price for Barack Obama's foreign policy plan.

You Are Paying the Radicalization Machine; The anarchy on our campuses is sustained by your hard-earned tax dollars

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

"Through no fault of your own, you are funding the subversion and destruction of the country you love, the country you will pass on to your children. The politicians you vote for and donate to have watched it happen, and they have happily signed over more of your tax dollars whenever they’re given the chance." . . .

Ian Macfarlane

"The anti-Israel protests on America’s elite university campuses have reached a fever pitch: On name-brand campuses across the country, students have occupied offices, set up encampments, and held daily demonstrations to protest the war in Gaza. Today, nearly 50 campus activists were arrested at Yale. Last week, more than 100 anti-Israel protesters were arrested at Columbia — and university administrators subsequently announced that they would be moving to online classes due to the chaos. Those moves only inflamed tensions further, unleashing “a wave of activism across a growing number of college campuses,” the New York Times reported on Monday. “In the days after the tents at Columbia came down, students at Yale, the University of Michigan and M.I.T. erected their own encampments in support of those arrested. By early Monday, New York University had become the latest protest site.”

"If onlookers are disturbed, they shouldn’t necessarily be surprised. None of the radicalism emanating from the nation’s most influential universities is new, nor is it confined to the issue of Israel-Palestine. That it has invited the level of outrage and scrutiny it has now — including from conservative megadonors who happily funneled cash to these elite radicalization machines for years — is preferable to the alternative; late is always better than never. But this most recent spate of upheavals did not materialize out of the blue. It is only the most recent culmination of an ideological corruption that has been decades in the making, often with the implicit assent of Republican politicians — and the active support of Republican university donors. As I wrote for the American Conservative back in late October: 

Hamas’s savage attacks are outrageous, as are the efforts to excuse or justify them. But so is the mass murder of unborn children in the womb. So is our open border. So is the radicalization of our universities, the carnage and violence on our city streets, and the systematic destruction of our history and heritage. That our conservative leaders have suddenly found their appetite for outrage is laudable, but it’s impossible to avoid wondering where it has been for the past decade…

Mark Steyn: Strolling While Jewish

Do Jewish women fear being raped by men shouting "Allahu Akbar!" and "I am Hamas!"? Hey, it happens. TD

SteynOnline   "Happy Passover, the holiday when American Jews attempt to pass over an Ivy League campus and British Jews attempt to pass over a Central London thoroughfare. Surveying the scene at Columbia, Powerline's Scott Johnson posts a picture of Nazis preventing Jews from entering the University of Vienna in 1938.

"We are enjoined not to go full Godwin's this early in the column, but the photograph prompted this thought: A century ago, the Jews of Germany were the most assimilated in Europe. They had prospered under the Kaiser, and seemed set to do even better in the Weimar Republic. They were industrialists, intellectuals, scientists, artists... A quarter of the thousand richest men in Prussia were Jews. As we heard on a pertinent Tale for Our Time, if you were an ambitious Jew born in the Bukovina or points east, you dreamed of Berlin and Vienna.

"And then...

"What Germany was to the Jews of a century ago, America is today. New York is the world's most Jewish city, and Brooklyn is famously the most Jewish place on earth, with more Jews than either Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. As in Germany, Jews are the businessmen, brain surgeons, physicists, film producers. I take it as read that the day is fast-approaching when London, Paris, Toronto, Copenhagen will be Jew-free. But New York?

"Well, it depends whether you think Jewish students being advised for their personal safety to leave Columbia University and take cover elsewhere is just an unfortunate one-off ...or whether America is amid a sea-change in its general attitude to Jews. As I wrote fifteen years ago:

"The Islamicization of Europe entails certain consequences, and it might be worth exploring what these might be. There are already many points of cultural friction—from British banks' abolition of children's "piggy banks" to the enjoining of public doughnut consumption by Brussels police during Ramadan.

"And yet on one issue there is remarkable comity between the aging ethnic Europeans and their young surging Muslim populations: A famous poll a couple of years back found that 59 per cent of Europeans regard Israel as the greatest threat to world peace." . . .

We always thought America would not stand for this ugliness, but now look at the people we choose for Congress:   

‘Squad’ Democrats vote against condemning ‘barbaric’ Hamas attack on Israel | Fox News   "A group of House Democrats made up primarily of far-left "Squad" members voted against a resolution Wednesday to condemn the "barbaric" Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists.

"H.R. 771, which reaffirms America's support for Israel as it responds to the attack, received overwhelming bipartisan support and passed by a vote of 412-10 with six members voting present.

"The 10 members voting against the resolution included six of the eight "Squad" members: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., Summer Lee, D-Pa., and Cori Bush, D-Mo. They were joined by Reps. André Carson, D-Ind., Al Green, D-Texas, and Delia Ramirez, D-Ill." . . .

 The woman cannot get over it! 

Hillary claims Trump wants to kill his opposition - American Thinker    "Over the weekend, we saw a continuation of the projection from the fascist far left, which has taken an increasingly dangerous tone.  At this point, there should be no doubt that they know what they are doing and that they probably take charges of hypocrisy as a badge of honor.  No group of people could go on like this, being completely unaware of exactly what they are doing.

"The question becomes, how do we convince many of those in the middle that the threats cited by them are born of the left?" . . .

" 'That’s what Trump really wants," Clinton continued. "And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because, in that world, he only sees strongmen leaders. He sees Putin, he sees Xi, he sees Kim Jong-un in North Korea. Those are the people he is modeling himself after, and we’ve been down this road in our, you know, world history. We sure don’t want to go down that again."

"After a period out of the spotlight, Bill and Hillary Clinton are trying to make a triumphant return to the front ranks of the Democratic party, according to a new report.

"Several people close to the former first couple tell Politico that the Clintons see divisions between moderates and progressives over key pieces of President Biden’s agenda as an opening to reassert their brand as dealmakers.

" 'It’s a perpetual itch that will never go away,” one insider told the outlet. “They know how to slowly reenter. The Clintons want to reset the board in their favor and then move the pieces.” 

"In recent weeks, according to Politico, the 42nd president has spoken to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) to press the lawmaker over his support for keeping the Senate’s 60-vote legislative filibuster and his opposition to Biden’s nearly $2 trillion Build Back Better bill." . . .

Democrats Want Donald Trump 'Killed,' Legal Analyst Warns

 

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

This reads like an MSNBC headline: Democrats Want Donald Trump 'Killed,' Legal Analyst Warns (msn.com)    "Legal analyst Alan Dershowitz warned on Sunday about newly introduced legislation that would strip felons of Secret Service protection, saying that Democrats want former President Donald Trump "killed."

"Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat and ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, brought forth the "Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act"—or the DISGRACED Act—on Friday that would terminate Secret Service protection for individuals convicted of either state or local felonies.

"Trump is specifically mentioned by Thompson as someone whose protection privileges would be affected should he be found guilty as the former president faces four criminal indictments. Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, became the first former president in U.S. history to stand trial in a criminal case that began on Monday.

"Following an investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office, Trump was indicted in March 2023 on charges of falsifying business records relating to hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. Daniels alleges that she had an affair with Trump in 2006, which he has denied. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and said the case against him is politically motivated.

"In a Sunday interview with Newsmax, Dershowitz, a member of Trump's legal team during his first impeachment in 2020 who is also a constitutional law and criminal lawyer, discussed the legislation, which is co-sponsored by eight Democratic representatives." . . .

Lawyer up, Republicans - Either start suing Biden or shut the hell up.

 Don Surber (substack.com)

Where are the Republicans? Where are their lawyers challenging this unconstitutional giveaway to the higher education industry?

"Late Friday night, Sarah Parshall Perry of the Heritage Foundation wrote, “The Department of Education just released its long-delayed Title IX rule—a rewrite of the 50-year-old civil rights law so vast that it promises to turn Title IX’s guarantee of sex equality in education completely upside down.

“Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is all of a single sentence. It simply bars sex discrimination in any federally funded education program. It does not matter how much federal funding a school or institution of higher education receives. And it does not matter whether such funding from the federal government is direct or indirect. So yes, even the vast majority of private schools must comply with the rule.

" 'But this simple longstanding prohibition on sex discrimination has been manipulated by the Biden administration to both undermine constitutional freedoms—like the freedom of speech—and erase the very women that Title IX was enacted to protect.”

"Most of the attention to this unconstitutional legislation by a president — not Congress — has focused on turning over women’s sports to trannies and drag queens.

"But Biden’s Law — and hold him, not bureaucrats, responsible for this travesty of justice — also strips men accused of rape of their rights to due process and the presumption of innocence.

"She’s a lawyer and she ended her column on a positive note: “The Independent Women’s Law Center has already indicated it is readying a lawsuit against the Department of Education. Others are likely to follow. Let’s hope so.' ” . . .

Democrats and Jews; no microaggressions here

"I fail to see how any Christian can be antisemitic, Jesus Christ was Jewish. You can't be both a christian and antisemitic. Ask yourself why did God send his son to the Jewish people and not some other group?" Comment to the next post.

 

The Columbia U pogrom, and the Jews’ bad gamble on the Democrats - Andrea Widburg  "Two thousand years of non-stop persecution affects people’s psyches, especially when that persecution seems to have reached a crescendo in the gas chambers at Auschwitz. Jews are always waiting, not for “the other shoe to drop,” but for the other jackboot to stomp. As they look at events on Columbia’s campus, while one part of their brain says, “I never thought this could happen here,” the other part is saying, “I always knew this would happen.” What self-reflective Jews will realize is that part of why it happened here is because American Jews gambled that the Democrats would protect them, and that gamble was a fatal mistake.

"People often ask why Jews have long been so blindly loyal to the Democrat party. The answer is that, for almost one thousand years, European Jews had been on the receiving end of often deadly and always disruptive Christian-driven antisemitism. Very often, this persecution came straight from the top, with kings and aristocrats indebted to Jewish moneylenders (since Christians were forbidden to lend money), erasing the debt by killing or driving out the Jews." . . .

Democrats Are Going to Get Someone Killed and They’re Perfectly Fine With It; Derek Hunter Trust me, MSNBC will not complain.    . . ."What Democrats on the radical left are now pushing about Israel and Jews is going to get someone killed. The rest of the Democratic establishment knows that but is too afraid to say anything, instead they just hope whatever death or deaths come from it are something they can use. An angry mob beating a few Jewish students to death would be damaging to Joe Biden’s cause, but some terrorist allies getting killed would be exploited by the left to rally their goon squad to vote. In other words, they would be fine with that.

"Individuals have always been disposable to the left – it’s how they can look at the 100,000,000 people slaughtered by their ideology in the last century and yawn. What’s a few more? As long as the deaths are ones they can use.

"You never know on which side a pot is going to boil over, you only know there’s going to be splatter. A sane person – read: a good one – would turn down the heat so it doesn’t happen at all. Democrats are neither sane nor good…

Cori Bush Using Her Cred as a Ferguson Protester to Defend Pro-Hamas College Protests Was REALLY Stupid – Twitchy   

AG  @AGHamilton29: Thanks for reminding everyone that you supported criminal riots, demanded defunding police so others don’t have protection from the rioting, and then used campaign funds (currently under DoJ investigation) to get security for yourself.

Also in the Bush thread: "ICYMI, Obama's own DOJ investigation determined that "hands up, don't shoot" was a complete lie. Ferguson burned because race mongers like you manipulated the press." Many more comments on Rep. Bush at the link.

Yeah... RIGHT! Ilhan Omar Wishes Jewish Communities a Happy Passover and it doesn't go well   "Her daughter is suspended for protesting in a group chanting 'Death to America' and siding with Hamas against Israel, not to mention Ilhan herself voted against sending aid to Israel.

"Ceasefire" is the best way to make Israel give up on ridding the world of Hamas and forgetting about the Hamas hostages.

New Mind-Blowing Talking Points Go Out on Pro-Hamas Protests As Libs Scramble for Cover – RedState   "Amid a rash of violent pro-Hamas protests, both in word and deed, liberals are scrambling for political cover, and the talking points have gone out. The videos of large crowds chanting "Death to America" while assaulting Jewish students have become too visible, and that means a new framing is needed.

"Are you ready to have your mind blown? You see, those pointing signs at Jews that say "Al Qassam's next target" while calling for Tel Aviv to be "burned to the ground" are just "anti-war."

. . ."Nothing says "anti-war" like demanding to "globalize the intifada," am I right? Sometimes I wonder what being a Democrat must be like. I mean, sure you'd be morally bankrupt and economically illiterate, but on the other hand, you could literally get away with anything. Are you calling for genocide in the name of a terrorist group? Well, you're just a harmless "anti-war" protester.

Biden's disastrous Presidency

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

 Joe Biden’s presidency has been an unmitigated disaster – Daily News   . . ."This presidency is a disaster of Biblical proportion. The Biden policies are like a siege of plagues.

"The profane chants in September closely followed the feckless and deadly decisions that led to the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan at the end of August. As if that wasn’t bad enough, in January, Biden blathered into a microphone his prediction that Vladimir Putin “will move in”  to Ukraine and it would probably draw no response from NATO if it was a “minor incursion.” . . .

Joe Biden's Growing List of Failures | Opinion (newsweek.com)   "For many, electing Joe Biden represented a return to normality, moderation, unity and competence. Unfortunately, his presidency has only ushered in hyper-divisiveness, immoderate policy, venality and staggering incompetence. The list of Biden's failures is long, and it grows daily. But here are the highlights of that list.

"First, of course, is the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Biden pulled out our troops before getting out our civilians, green card holders and allies, then had to send troops back in to help them get out. Yet even then, Biden failed to get everyone out, despite promising to do so. And in addition to stranding people, the evacuation left billions of dollars' worth of arms, vehicles and equipment in the hands of the Taliban, abandoned a strategic base in the fight against terrorism and allowed the release of imprisoned hard-core terrorists.

"Right up with these two disasters is that of inflation." . . .

U.S. hands over $110m base to Niger junta to release 1,000 U.S. Army hostages, watches helplessly as base goes to Russia - Monica Showalter 

"Joe Biden is a lucky bungler.

"With no Fox News cameras around and nobody paying much attention to what was going on in Niger, a disgraceful, utterly humiliating exit of the U.S. military from that benighted country now led by a military junta, has dealt the U.S. another strategic blow, and entirely preventably. The crummy little tinpot junta now running Niger has managed to kick Uncle Sam around, much as the Taliban and Iran did, creating an accumulating pattern of lost U.S. influence. And sure enough, they got us good, because Joe Biden let them." . .  .

. . .Well, we've noticed, because we've seen this show before. It's time to throw the whole Biden crew out come November, because if we don't, there will be much more like this to come, as U.S. influence on the global stage shrinks down to nothing and our capacity to fight terrorism will be nil.
