Rep. Keith Self Warns U.S. Can’t Survive ‘Fourth Obama Term’

 Exclusive: (breitbart.com)  

"Pointing to Hamas’s remaining battalions in southern Gaza, Self, who serves as a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, insisted that Israel intends to “clean it out and finish the job.' ” 

"U.S. global influence is declining under President Joe Biden, whose presidency is a continuation of former President Barack Obama’s policies, according to Republican Congressman Keith Self, who warned that America could not survive a “fourth Obama term.”

"He also blasted Biden’s weakening alliance with the Jewish State and the rise of anti-Israel protests on college campuses, which he attributed to socialist ideology fueled by “woke” academia, while advising that children be prepped with conservative values before entering higher education institutions.

"In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Hungary 2024 on Friday, Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) lamented the “decline in the influence of the United States around the world” under Biden. 

“ 'It started with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Soon after that, people started testing us and Putin started moving troops into Ukraine within two months of the withdrawal,” he said. “And, frankly, that’s lightning speed when you talk about a nation making a decision to start moving troops toward combat.”

"He then asserted that Biden’s term mirrors Obama’s while warning of the risks such policies pose to the country." . . . 

This college generation doesn’t know why the heck they’re protesting for Palestine

 Should Israel desert her hostages to please the likes of these mental infants? TD

"Palestine has an intifada. We’ve got intifaddists."; Rikki Schlott  

". . .nearly half of Zoomers say they get their news from TikTok (where Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America” went viral because so many young people were praising it), and you have a disaster on your hands. They don’t know the truth about Israel, Gaza and Hamas and they can’t be bothered to check. But they get likes!"

Columbia students erected a “Trans People 4 Palestine” sign.

"Do the Gen Z pro-Palestine protesters even know what they’re screaming, yelling, and encamping about? Definitely not.

"A Columbia University student who rushed down to NYU’s campus in solidarity with protesters there said on camera that she actually had no idea what they were protesting, eventually admitting she needed to be “more educated” on the issue.

"I’m sure that’s very much the case with her countless classmates donning keffiyehs and chanting anti-Israel slogans.

An unnamed Columbia University student interviewed when she rushed to NYU to join the protests there admitted she did not know what they were actually protesting.

"Forget the three r’s, these Ivy League elitists are schooled in the three i’s: ignorance, indoctrination and Instagram.

". . ."Palestine has an intifada. We’ve got intifaddists."

“Stop the Genocide” reads the signs in support of a group who only failed to commit genocide on October 7 because they were stopped by military force (and who have vowed to keep on trying to do so, an aim furthered by the utterly unironic sign-carriers).

 . . ."For several years, I taught a unit on the Holocaust in a small Jewish day school in Dayton, Ohio. I thought it important not just to expose the horror but to teach students where hope lies as well. To that end, I once brought in a woman who had been newly married when her native Holland was conquered by the Nazis. She and her husband sheltered a series of Jewish families in their home, saving them from the fate of 90 percent of Dutch Jews. She was no intellectual and put on no airs. But the students’ jaws dropped when they heard her matter-of-factly detail the risk they ran for years. “How could you be so brave?” one student asked her at the end.

"She seemed genuinely puzzled. “Brave? Anyone would have done what I had done.”

"An ordinary person, she was in her own mind.

"But the people who thought themselves extraordinary usually did less well. How few acted as she did! How many of the better educated and more self-regarding were skilled at the rationalizations that kept themselves safe and that eased Hitler’s path." . . .

Clever College Students Figure Out It’s Not Racist To Call For The Murder Of All Jews If You Just Call Them 'Zionists' | Babylon Bee   "In ongoing protests over the war between Israel and Gaza, clever college students found an effective way to avoid being racist by simply calling for the murder of ‘Zionists' instead of Jews.

" 'Zionists clearly aren't people," student protestor Bashir Telum told the press. "I am allowed to call for their deaths and that doesn't make me a bad person or anything. You, know, because they aren't the same thing as Jews. Or people.

"With data from hundreds of polls, more than 95 percent of Jews identify as Zionists. Zionism is the idea that the Jewish people are entitled to a homeland in the Middle East, with the establishment of Israel in the early 1900s as a fulfillment of this entitlement. To get around accusations of racism, brilliant college students have been calling for the deaths of Zionists.

" 'I wish death to all Zionist pigs!" protestor Cassidy Jones yelled at one Harvard event this week." . . .

Graham predicts Supreme Court will send Trump presidential immunity case to lower courts

 The Hill 

"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) predicted Sunday that the Supreme Court will send former President Trump’s immunity case back to the lower courts.

"“Well, I think the court’s gonna find that presidential immunity exists for President Trump like every other president, but you got to be within the scope of being president. I think they’ll send it back to the lower courts to find out exactly what actions fall within presidential immunity and what are considered personal. I think that’s the way this will end — there will be some immunity for some of the actions,” Graham said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

"The Supreme Court heard arguments last week over whether Trump could have presidential immunity from criminal prosecution in the federal Jan. 6 case brought by special counsel Jack Smith. The high court appeared open to some presidential immunity for the former president, which could potentially delay the criminal cases brought against him even further.

"Graham said the question of immunity may be “decided partially” for the former president.

“ 'There’s no absolute immunity in the Constitution. It will be a legal analysis, you know, the president needs to be protected. You know, we don’t become a banana republic here. We prosecute, you know, our political opponents, which is going on really in many jurisdictions,” he said. “But I think the immunity question will be decided partially for Trump and some legal, some factual analysis as to when and where it applies.” . . .

The Supreme Court is likely to uphold immunity for Trump | the Aspen beat

"When the establishment finally regained power by beating Trump in 2020, they began criminally prosecuting him for his acts in office, timed to come to a head just before the next election where he hopes to reclaim that office. 

"One of those prosecutions is a joke, namely the Manhattan Project where a stupid political hack of a District Attorney hopes to gloriously nuke Trump’s campaign with a criminal charge that is as bogus as it is convoluted (which may well produce a jury conviction in ultra-Blue Manhattan, but will surely be overturned on appeal)" . . .

"Aren't we lucky I'm not killing people who deserve to die", Khymani James, Hamas supporter.

Nice Kid: Leader of Columbia Hamashole Protests Told University 'Be Glad I'm Not Out Murdering Zionists' – HotAir

The race-bating, Jew-hating, privileged do-ragger shooting his mouth off about "aren't we lucky I'm not killing people who deserve to die" is a sad little man named Khymani James. Somehow - probably because his angry act is so polished - he's the head of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment.  And will you listen to the masked sheeple following him? It's like a Klan rally and damn near as lily-white.

Was it all that Baby Proofing? - Clarice Feldman  "Watching the idiocy on college campuses this week and seeing all the explanations for protests in favor of murderous Hamas, two tweets seem particularly on point. There’s the great David Burge (Iowahawk), who calls these outbursts “Hamas slumber parties,” and says, “This is like staging a pro-Nazi lunch counter sit-in and getting mad that people won’t treat you like you’re a modern-day Rosa Parks.” He attributes protests for the Intifada and slogans reading “from the River to the Sea” by numbskulls who have admittedly no idea what they are protesting as the result of baby-proofing houses. “There is,” he says, “no better educational experience for a child than finding out what happens when you stick a butter knife into an electrical outlet.”. . .

So Hamas engaged in the most brutal attack on a much stronger neighbor, and even before Israel's perfectly predictable response in defense of its own people, Hamas became worthy of sympathy and protection. The Israeli counterattack is falsely described as “genocide,” self-rule in Gaza is misnamed “occupation;” indigenous Jews are labeled “colonialists” and “occupiers,” while Arabs are mischaracterized as native to Gaza. . . . 

 Restore Order and Crush the Campus Jihadist Thugs › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)  . . ."Hamas’ useful campus idiots are, at best, blithering morons. They do not realize that Zionism—the Jewish people’s national liberation movement in their ancestral homeland—is the quintessence of the very “anticolonialism” and “indigenous people’s rights” they claim to champion. They are clueless about international law and how the doctrine of uti possidetis juris establishes that Israel has the best legal claim to Judea and Samaria (i.e., the West Bank). They know nothing about warfighting; John Spencer, head of urban warfare studies at West Point, has demonstrated that Israel’s combatant-to-civilian death ratio in Gaza since the war began is “historically low for modern urban warfare.”

"Why let inconvenient facts get in the way of the thrill one feels for supporting a chic social justice movement … er, genocidal terrorist organization?

"The activism now upending Columbia, Yale, Harvard, and other morally bankrupt institutions is done in explicit support of a U.S. State Department-recognized foreign terrorist organization. Keffiyeh-wearing mini-jihadis at Columbia recently chanted “We are Hamas!” and “Long live Hamas!” Other agitators at Columbia called for Tel Aviv—a liberal secular city that will remain in Israeli hands under any possible future settlement with the Palestinian-Arabs—to be “burned to the ground.” At the University of Michigan (where my speech in November was shouted down by a pro-Hamas mob), student Hamasniks distributed a pamphlet that says “Freedom for Palestine means Death to America.' ” . . .

Gavin Newsom Asked the Internet to Submit Designs for a New Coin Honoring CA's Innovations, and Hoo Boy.

 Jennifer Van Laar – RedState

"The Golden State has a long history of positive innovation, but the only thing it's innovating during Newsom's tenure is new ways to waste every natural gift God can bestow upon a land and leave its citizens in poverty. Oh, and new methods by which the government can repress the civil rights of people." JVL

"When he's not making ignorantly silly commercials about access to abortion in Alabama, California Gov. Gavin Newsom's favorite hobby is getting ratioed online. Seriously, I'm not sure there's anyone less self-aware than Newsom, or anyone who's more of a glutton for punishment.

"So on Thursday Newsom was again roasted online when he announced that California is getting its own $1 coin to honor innovation in the state and asked the internet for submissions. He was already going to invite some choice responses from that simple invitation, then he made it worse by beginning his tweet with, "Calling all members of the Tortured Coin Designers Department," a reference to Taylor Swift's new album, "The Tortured Poets Department." . . .
