Cardin to preside at Netanyahu’s speech - with VP Harris absent

 By Marc Rod, Emily Jacobs (jewishinsider.com)  

He said that there’s “a risk” that the group’s message will be co-opted by anti-Israel forces, “but the risk is much higher if Israel becomes a messianic theocracy. Then we are basically leaving the field just for the extremists.” 

Why Bibi's Address to Congress Matters

. . ."Harris, whose presidential bid was endorsed on Sunday by President Joe Biden after he announced he would not seek reelection, is set to be traveling on Wednesday, on what her office said was a prearranged trip to Indianapolis. She’ll be meeting with Netanyahu separately this week. 

"Senate President Pro Tempore Patty Murray (D-WA) would ordinarily be next in line after Harris to preside, but she declined to do so and won’t be attending the speech, a spokesperson told JI. Such a situation hasn’t happened in decades. 

"Murray is also the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and her decision to skip the speech suggests a sizable boycott of Netanyahu’s address among Democrats. She was not among the lawmakers who skipped Netanyahu’s last address to Congress in 2015.

" 'Securing a lasting, mutual ceasefire is of the utmost importance right now, and I will continue to push for one to be reached as soon as possible,” Murray said in a statement, while expressing her support for Israel’s security. “I hope Prime Minister Netanyahu will use the opportunity to address how he plans to secure a ceasefire — and lasting peace in the region.”. . .

. . ."Several members, including Reps. Clyburn, Jim McGovern (D-MA), Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Mark Takano (D-CA), many of whom have been critical of Israel’s operations in Gaza, invited members to attend an event with hostage families on Wednesday morning, ahead of the speech, according to an invitation shared with JI.

"The invitation described it as a “pro-Israel event … intended to provide an opportunity for all Members to demonstrate their solidarity with the people of Israel and to hear from Israelis about how these catastrophic events and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s right-wing policies and indifference to the fate of the hostages have affected their lives,” for members “whether you plan to attend Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech or not.” . . .

They didn’t just greet him, to shake hands? Listen, when Hurricane Ian hit my district, and Joe Biden and Jill Biden came to Southwest Florida, I greeted them at the tarmac. And everybody knows I do not agree with Joe Biden on anything. But the President of the United States came to my district that had just been wiped out by a massive hurricane. I was at the airport to greet him.

“ 'Israel is under attack and they can’t greet Benjamin Netanyahu? It is so disrespectful,” concluded Rep. Donalds." . . .

 Israel tears into VP for boycotting Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress after Biden postponed their meeting

"Kamala Harris's decision to stay away from Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress has irritated officials in the Israeli prime minister's administration.

"She is due to travel to Indianapolis on Wednesday, but is expected to meet him a day later.

"Sky News host Rita Panahi weighs in on “weapon-grade crazy” MSNBC host Joy Reid's conspiracy theories about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. "It comes as the MSNBC host has shared multiple clips of conspiracy theories about the attempted assassination over social media, including implying that the whole thing had been staged. "Reportedly, around 34 per cent of registered Democrats believe that Trump staged his own assassination attempt. “ "That's one in three registered Dems who believe Trump trusted a last millisecond head turn to save his life and had three supporters shot, one murdered, so he could stage an assassination attempt. These people are nuts,” Ms Panahi said."

Ask Joy Reid and Kamala Harris what they consider about this lady in Colorado. I fear people like these are whom Kamala would not resist, but side with unless there is a groundswell of opposition to voting for people like them. This nation shed blood to put an end to this kind of bigotry and I fear for America with people like these in it holding power. TD

Kamala Harris' great-great-great-great grandfather was 'notorious' Irish slave owner who bought Jamaican plantation and travelled to London to fight abolition, historian claims

  Daily Mail Online

Brown travelled to London to protest against the abolition of slavery and then turned his attention to Irish migrants when he was no longer allowed to enslave Africans, Mr McCracken told the Belfast Telegraph. 

Donald Harris holds his daughter, Kamala, in 1965. Professor Harris has spoken about their family history and believes they are related to Hamilton Brown, a notorious slaver and plantation owner

"Kamala Harris is descended from an owner of 120-plus slaves who ran a Jamaican plantation and fought against the abolition of the abhorrent trade, a British historian claimed today.

The Democrat would-be President is of Indian and Afro-Jamaican descent with her late mother, Shyamala Gopalan, born in Madras, now Chennai, while her father, Donald Harris, is from Jamaica.

The Vice-President's father, a Stanford University academic who is 85, was born in Brown's Town on the Caribbean island – named after Hamilton Brown, who is believed to be Kamala's slave-owning great-great-great-great grandfather.

In an article published by the Jamaica Globe in 2019, Kamala's father Professor Harris wrote: 'My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown) descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown's Town, a town in Jamaica.'

Northern Irish historian Stephen McCracken said today that Brown was a 'notorious' slaver and 'not nice fellow' who was born in Antrim but later settled in Jamaica. 

'I actually thought this was going to be a nice story, like (former US presidents) McKinley, Nixon, Jackson, Roosevelt, all of whom have links to Antrim, but it wasn’t', he said." . . .

Wife of Washington Post hack, who for years accused Trump of being foreign agent, is arrested for being... a foreign agent

  Law Enforcement Today   "

. . ."The year before, Boot pushed for the impeachment of Trump over the bogus Russia collusion hoax that was hatched by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee with assistance by the FBI. Boot continued to do so even after Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence that Trump had colluded with Russia." . . .

“Revenge is a dish best served cold”--In Star Trek II, the Wrath of Khan, those words are said by Khan, portrayed by the late Ricardo Montalban when he thinks he has exiled his longtime enemy, Capt. James Kirk to life on a desolate planet. Now, a Washington Post reporter is getting a taste of the “dish best served cold,” according to The Liberty Daily. 

Washington Post reporter Max Boot, an unhinged leftist, has spent years referring to President Donald Trump as a foreign agent. In the ultimate case of karma, Boot’s wife, Sue Mi Terry, has been indicted for operating as…an unregistered foreign agent for South Korea. 

According to Reuters Legal, Terry, a former CIA and White House National Security Council (NSC) employee was indicted on charges of advocating South Korean policies, disclosing non-public US information, and facilitating access for South Korean officials in exchange for luxury goods. 

"Boot, who has a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, is also an apologist for Ukrainian President Voldoymr Zelensky who thinks no amount of money sent to Ukraine to be laundered at the benefit of Democrats and globalists, is too much. Of course it probably has nothing to do with the fact that his wife used to work for the CIA. 

"The Daily Caller News Foundation reports that prosecutors accuse Terry of disclosing U.S. government secrets while influencing policy decisions for South Korea. They say in return she received goods including a $3,450 Louis Vuitton handbag and a $2,845 Dolce & Gabbana coat, as well as expensive dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants, according to The New York Post." . . .

Report: Secret Service Didn't Plan To Send Snipers To Trump Rally

 Shawn Fleetwood (thefederalist.com)  "The Secret Service reportedly did not partake in a security briefing given to local law enforcement the morning of Trump’s July 13 rally."

"Local law enforcement also reportedly told Johnson’s office that Secret Service initially planned not to send their own snipers to the July 13 rally. While agency officials reversed course and deployed two sniper teams to the rally, it remains unknown why or when they changed their decision." 

"Secret Service failed to undertake critical security measures and deprived Donald Trump of ample protection ahead of the attempted assassination against the former president, new information disclosed by congressional members shows.

"According to preliminary findings published Sunday by the office of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., the Secret Service declined to participate in a security briefing provided to local sniper and SWAT teams the morning of Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Led by the local emergency services division, the briefing reportedly “provided local law enforcement with images of the security perimeter at the rally — which did not include the American Glass Research (AGR) building where the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was located — the location of law enforcement agents, and a breakdown of security sectors on the farm show grounds.”

“ 'It is unclear why Secret Service did not participate in this security briefing and the extent to which Butler [Emergency Services] ESU coordinated with Secret Service in creating and implementing the security plan for the rally,” the report reads.

"The report says the briefing addressed the potential for drone use, “according to
information obtained by Senator Johnson’s staff.” Local officials told The Wall Street Journal days ago that Crooks “was able to fly a drone and get aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds shortly before the former president was set to speak there.” It remains unclear “whether any action was taken regarding Crooks’ drone and the exact time when Crooks’ drone was discovered,” according to Johnson’s office." . . .

Will Biden’s resignation be this year’s October surprise?

 

The Hook – Issues & Insights

Will Biden’s resignation be this year’s October surprise?   

But if he quits, he can rewrite his legacy as a selfless party soldier who, after fifty years of “public service,” made possible the historic moment of putting the “First Woman of Color” into the Oval Office — and if she wins, it will be he who enabled the Democrats to defeat “Orange Hitler” and save democracy itself from “fascism.”

Should Republican politicians support ousting Biden from the presidency?

Maybe calling for Biden’s removal is a feint to score points now.  But then that would put pressure on other Republicans planning to vote against later.  I just hope the Republicans are thinking this through.

Believe Nothing About Biden’s ‘Resignation’ - The American Spectator  "And don’t give any credit until Joe Biden tells us in person or resigns the presidency and admits he’s unfit for the job."

Dave Portnoy: Democrats ‘Hijacked Democracy’ By Forcing Biden Out and Installing Kamala  (Language) 

 Harris is the “right person at the right time” and well-positioned to “push back” against Donald Trump, according to Reid Hoffman, the tech billionaire who co-founded LinkedIn. Alexander Soros, son of financier and philanthropist George Soros, described her as the “best and most qualified candidate we have”…

. . .“ 'It’s not that they go and say ‘hey, all these videos that the American people see of Joe Biden literally having a dementia moment and being out of it — deep fakes, not real.’ And then they just reverse course and literally force him to resign by threats. Who knows what they said to him behind doors or what package they came up with. Pelosi, Obama, Clooney — all pushing this old man down a flight of stairs. Forget all that, they did it, fine. They hijacked Democracy. No other way to say it,” Portnoy ranted…

“ "The Democrats and the left — the way they shit on our face and tell us it’s 80 and sunny is so infuriating. Just admit you hijacked Democracy. Just admit, you don’t care if f--king Mussolini or a head of lettuce is running against Trump. You hate him so much you’re willing to trample on Democracy, steal the vote from the American public." . . .

The Biden 10-step plan for global chaos

 Victor Davis Hanson  "What happened to Turkey? Why is it threatening fellow NATO member Greece? Is it still a NATO ally, a mere neutral or a de facto enemy?

" 'Why are there suddenly nonstop Chinese threats toward Taiwan?

"Why did Saudi Arabia conclude a new pact with Iran, its former archenemy?

" 'Why was Egypt secretly planning to send rockets to Russia to be used in Ukraine, according to leaked Pentagon papers?

"Since when did the Russians talk nonstop about the potential use of a tactical nuclear weapon?

" 'Why is Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador bragging that millions of Mexicans have entered the United States, most of them illegally? And why is he interfering in U.S. elections by urging his expatriates to vote for Democrats?

" 'Why and how, in just two years, have confused and often incoherent President Joe Biden and his team created such global chaos?

" 'Let us answer by listing 10 ways by which America lost all deterrence:

"1) Biden abruptly pulled all U.S. troops from Afghanistan. He left behind to the Taliban hundreds of Americans and thousands of pro-American Afghans. Biden abandoned billions of dollars in U.S. equipment, the largest air base in central Asia — recently retrofitted at a cost of $300 million — and a $1 billion embassy. Our government called such a debacle a success. The world disagreed and saw only humiliation.

"2) The Biden administration allowed a Chinese high-altitude spy balloon to traverse the continental United States, spying on key American military installations. The Chinese were defiant when caught and offered no apologies. In response, the Pentagon and the administration simply lied about the extent that China had surveilled top secret sites.

"3) In March 2021, at an Anchorage, Alaska mini-summit, Chinese diplomats unleashed a relentless barrage at their stunned and mostly silent American counterparts. They lectured the timid Biden administration diplomats about American toxicity and hypocrisy. And they have defiantly refused to explain why and how their virology lab birthed the COVID-19 virus that has killed tens of millions worldwide.

"4) In June 2021, in response to Russian cyberattacks against the United States, Biden meekly asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to at least make off-limits certain critical American infrastructure.

5) When asked what he would do if Russia invaded Ukraine, Biden replied that the reaction would depend on whether the Russians conducted a “minor incursion.”

"6) Between 2021 and 2022, Biden serially insulted and bragged that he would not meet Muhammad bin Salman, the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, and one of our oldest and most valuable allies in the Middle East.

"7) For much of 2021, the Biden administration made it known that it was eager and ready to offer concessions to re-enter the dangerous Iran nuclear deal — at a time when Iran has joined China and Russia in a new geostrategic partnership.

"8) Almost immediately upon inauguration, the administration moved the United States away from Israel, restored financial aid to radical Palestinians and both publicly and privately alienated the current Netanyahu government.

"9) In serial fashion, Biden stopped all construction on the border wall and opened the border. During the 2019 Democratic presidential primary, Biden made it known that illegal aliens were welcome to enter the United States — some 6 million to 7 million did. He reinstated “catch and release.” And he did nothing about the Mexican cartel importation of fentanyl that has recently killed more than 100,000 Americans per year.

"10) In the past two years, the Pentagon has embarked on a woke agenda. The Army is short by 15,000 in its annual recruitment quota. The defense budget has not kept up with inflation. One of the greatest intelligence leaks in U.S. history just occurred from the Pentagon.

"The Pentagon refused to admit culpability and misled the country about Afghanistan and the Chinese spy balloon flight. The current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff called his Chinese communist counterpart and head of the People’s Liberation Army to advise him that the U.S. military would warn the Chinese if it determined an order from its commander in chief, former President Donald Trump, was inappropriate.

"This list of these self-inflicted disasters could be easily expanded." . . .

In Hiding Biden’s Decline, Democrats Showed They Are A Party Of Liars

 Issues & Insights

"None of this was done for the benefit of the country but to keep alive the Democrats’ hopes of holding on to the White House. They feared that Vice President Kamala Harris is so unelectable that their best chance to keep their claws in power was to lie about Biden’s condition." . . .

"When the Watergate scandal was roiling a half-century ago, we were told the cover-up was worse than the crime. There was no crime – that we currently know of – in keeping President Joe Biden’s cognitive infirmity hidden from the public. But the cover-up shows that the Democratic Party is made up of liars who have the chutzpah, though maybe not quite the skill, of Soviet propagandists.

"Up until the June 27 debate with Donald Trump, the Democrats and their media division kept assuring us that Biden was fine. While his inner circle insisted that he was fit right up to the point that he dropped out of the race Sunday, others in his party and much of the press began to turn on him before the debate was over. At the same time, they tried to convince the country that they didn’t know that Biden’s condition had deteriorated so severely.

"But they knew.

"White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was maybe the worst offender. Last fall, she said she “would put the president’s stamina, the president’s wisdom, ability to get this done on behalf of the American people, against anyone” – “anyone, on any day of the week.”

"A fews months earlier, she said it was “hard for us to keep up with this president.” Then a couple of weeks ago, she admitted to “giving false information about” a neurologist seeing Biden at the White House.

"In February, former House speaker and always-party-over-country Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi swore that Biden was “very sharp” and “always on the ball.” At roughly the same time, Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, the Senate majority leader, said Biden’s “mental acuity is great, it’s fine, it’s as good as it’s been over the years.” And all those instances of Biden’s feebleness of mind everyone else had been seeing for years? Just “right-wing propaganda,” he said.

"And then were was Barack Obama himself, excusing Biden’s blundering debate performance as merely a bad night, which just happens from time to time. In his effort to hide the truth, Biden co-campaign chair Mitch Landrieu said he thought Biden “really kind of rose to the occasion” as the debate progressed.

"The media were also in on it. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough – who often appears to be insane himself so maybe we can somewhat excuse his implausible claim – assured viewers in March that “this version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever. Not a close second.” . . .
