Assessing Donald J. Trump

"We could give Trump credit for the Abraham Accords and for putting a leash on Iran; Shia and Sunni terrorists saw team Biden as at first weak, and now as a lame duck. Islamists helped to unravel most of what Trump achieved. Indeed, America is now fighting two proxy wars with no ends in sight." GMD

Assessing Donald J. Trump - American Thinker   . . ."Likewise, the Trump drama exposed the toxic threats to democracy posed by unofficial and largely partisan collusion between the feds and Silicon Valley to manage news, narratives, and elections. Indeed, before Trump, we never knew how many big sisters worked with Big Brother.

And speaking of sisters, add one last credit to the Trump ledger.

"D.J. Trump may have created a sure lane for the next vice-president, or president, to be a conservative woman. Not because sex matters, but because there is such a plethora of worthy ladies-in-waiting on the common sense, conservative side of the American bench these days. 

"And finally in 2024, for voters, the “wisdom of crowds” will finally get a bona fide and much needed acid test. And here we give Joe Robinette the last word. Democracy is indeed “on the ballot” in 2024. So good luck with that too."

Poll Reveals Brutal Gaza Reality

 Noah Beck - American Thinker 

Even the UN has been teaching hate to Gaza's children. So which political entity has the popularity, authority, and morality to educate for coexistence and to ensure that all aid money rebuilds Gaza as Singapore instead of Somalia?

The neighbors drop in for a visit.

"In the 18 years since Israel withdrew its military and civilians from the Gaza Strip, Hamas has fired approximately 30,000 rockets and mortars at Israel: about 12,000 from 2007 until 2019, another 4,360 during eleven days of war in 2021 and, over 12,000 in the current war, which has displaced over 150,000 Israelis. Since Israel’s 2005 Disengagement, Hamas has also attempted to invade aerially, navally, and through tunnels, and executed a range of other assaults, including airborne arson attacks and ecoterrorism, shootings, abductions, and the brutal massacre of about 1,200 people on October 7, 2023, leading to the fourth major Israel-Gaza war in 14 years.

"Thus, by now it should be clear that mainstream policy thinking on Gaza has failed. Ignoring hard facts to nurture illusions about Gazans coexisting peacefully alongside Israelis condemns everyone to perpetual war." . . .

"Hamas' disastrous governance has been obvious for decades, but shocking new examples regularly emerge. Hamas diverted billions in international aid for military purposes, like building an underground city of terror (including this 50-meter-deep tunnel large enough for use by vehicles). Even more evidence has surfaced, from Gaza hospital director Ahmed Kahlot, that Hamas uses hospitals and ambulances for military purposes." . . .

At the Time, Biden's Actions Post-Drone Attack Left This Fox News Host Aghast

Matt Vespa (townhall.com)

This White House is unserious, with a dementia-ridden president and a cabinet that is fraught with incompetence. No wonder why people are dying under Biden’s leadership.

"President Joe Biden is taking his sweet time responding to the brazen drone attack launched by Iran-backed militias against American forces in Jordan on January 27. The attack on a US base left three Americans dead and another 25 wounded. Katie wrote about it over the weekend. The Biden White House released a statement following the attack. It took days to contact the families of the fallen—a detail that shocked Fox News host Harris Faulkner (via Daily Caller):

A one-way attack drone crashed into the Jordanian base Saturday night and killed three service members and injured 25 others. Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq carried out the attack, sparking a major escalation in the Middle East, according to The White House. 

Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich said Biden has yet to contact the families of Sgt. William Rivers, Specialist Kennedy Sanders and Specialist Breonna Moffett. 

“Also, Harris, watching for news that the president has contacted the families of these fallen soldiers or that he plans to attend their dignified transfer at Dover. Neither of those questions [did] the White House have any answers on yesterday,” Heinrich told Faulker Tuesday. 

“It’s been three days,” Faulkner said. 

“Yeah,” Heinrich replied. 

“That’s a lot,” Faulkner replied. “Well, we’ll thank them. We’ll thank those families and those patriots we’ve lost and all those men and women in harm’s way in the Middle East. We’ll say thank you and tell them that we love them.” 

"Now, Biden did speak with the families on Tuesday. Still, that development was muddied by this administration’s waffled response to the attack, where pussyfooting is going to get more Americans killed (via WHNT):" . . .

Gold Star parents of soldier killed in drone strike required to fill out ‘paperwork’ to get a condolences call from Slow Joe Biden - American Thinker   . . ."Oneida mentioned that the family expects a call from President Biden, and they have already been in contact with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and various lawmakers. She said they have to complete paperwork before they can speak to the president.

"I’m sorry, did she say “paperwork”? It’s been days, and he still hasn’t called? And he’ll only call when the grieving families fill out the correct forms? If this weren’t the Biden regime, I’d think this were satire—a government agency requiring paperwork to get a ‘condolences’ call.

"Again, what does this man even do all day? Eat ice cream cones, take beach naps, and wear hardhats backwards for photo ops? His schedule cannot be that busy." . . .

Fox News’ Dana Perino Slams Biden After He Falsely Claims He’s ‘Done All He Can’ on the Border – Then Shuffles Away to Marine One

The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

Biden replied, “I’ve done all I can do! Give me the power! I asked for the very day I got into office! Give me the border patrol! Give me the people who can stop this and make it work rationally!”

"Fox News anchor Dana Perino slammed Joe Biden after he absurdly claimed he’s ‘done all he can’ on the border amid an unprecedented invasion of military-age males.

"81-year-old Joe Biden tried to answer a few questions on the South Lawn as he prepared to board Marine One and Dana Perino blasted him for mumbling through answers while the rotating blades of the helicopter drowned him out.

"An estimated 11 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age men from China, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America have crossed over the border since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021.

"The illegals are crossing the border on Joe Biden’s open border invitation after he took 94 executive actions to create the crisis.

"Joe Biden is now blocking the House-passed Secure the Border Act – while blaming Trump for the border crisis.

“ 'With executive authority…was there more you could do?…” a reporter asked Biden referring to the border crisis.

"Biden told the reporters that he is completely powerless. The president of the executive branch is completely powerless according to Joe Biden." . . .

Rep. Jim Clyburn helped Biden win young Black voters in 2020. This time, they're not listening.

 "This is my first time voting and this is very discouraging to the young Black voter," he said, adding that he is not "confident in either of the choices." "We're picking the lesser of two evils," Nathaniel said.

NBC (msn.com)  "SUMTER, S.C. — Rep. Jim Clyburn was preaching to the choir, in every sense.

"Clyburn was the guest speaker at a Black church here on a recent Sunday, telling the audience that a certain candidate for high office deserves to lose. He didn't mention Donald Trump by name, but it was clear who he meant.

"The Democratic congressman from South Carolina rattled off a list of ways Trump has insulted Black Americans over the years. Sitting in the pews, the largely middle-aged and elderly congregants applauded the message. The trouble for Clyburn, 83, is that the people he most needs to hear him weren't the ones listening.

"The next day, Clyburn voted for President Joe Biden in South Carolina's Democratic primary. He held a news conference afterward and laid out the stakes.

" 'Do you want this country to be led by someone who time and time again demonstrates misogynistic tendencies and racist attitudes?" he said, standing outside the polling place on a blustery morning in Orangeburg. "Is that what you want?' " . . .

"Without Clyburn, there might never have been a Biden presidency. In 2020, his endorsement revived Biden's flailing campaign. Clyburn cemented Biden's status as the favorite of Black voters, helping him win the South Carolina primary and vaulting him to the party nomination.

"Now, polling shows that young Black voters are peeling away from Biden in numbers that worry Democratic officials. Clyburn, for his part, sounds indignant." . . .

Biden hard hat debacle is latest black mark for left-leaning, fact-checking site Snopes

I worked on a crane maintenance crew 20 years ago and we chose to wear our hard hats backward. We worked overhead and did not want our vision impaired as we moved things around far overhead. Mine was backward all day, but the hat band was reversed to fit as it should, unlike Bidens. But if a worker loaned him his personal hat and placed it on Biden's head that way, that is that. Remember how the liberal press made a big case out of how Trump fed fish in a pond, and how he held his coffee cup and the way walked down a slippery ramp. TD (Tunnel Dweller)

 Biden hard hat debacle is latest black mark for left-leaning, fact-checking site Snopes (msn.com)

"The latest gaffe from Snopes over the weekend has put a spotlight on the fact-checking site’s left-leaning slant. 

" 'Snopes is the kid that thinks they're the smartest student in the room and the apple of the teacher's eye, but in reality, they're the one everyone makes fun of for being a smart aleck," NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News Digital. 

"Snopes, which is largely taken as gospel by the media elite, has been referred to by CNN as "the internet’s oldest and best-known fact checker," and once partnered with Facebook on a truth-finding venture. Snopes' own website boasts that it has been cited in publications such as The New York Times and Washington Post, while staffers have appeared on ABC, CNN and NPR. 

SOCIAL MEDIA STUNNED AFTER SNOPES FACT-CHECK REVERSAL ON PRESIDENT BIDEN'S BACKWARDS HARDHAT

"Snopes reversed one of its rulings over the weekend to admit that President Biden did, in fact, wear a construction hard hat backwards. Biden was pictured during a visit to union workers in Wisconsin and the photo showed Biden noticeably wearing the hard hat backwards, with the strap and tightening knob clearly visible.

"Snopes' published an initial fact check, admitting the photo was authentic but insisting the president was correctly wearing the protective headwear." . . .

Hamas has the West eating out of the palm of its hand - Shani the truck girl

  The Jerusalem Post  "There are those denying the October 7 attacks, and Hamas knows this. Its foolish followers are encouraging it to spread its lies, thus leading everyone down a dark and dangerous path."

"There can be no doubt about what happened on October 7. Absolutely none.

"The Hamas atrocities that took place on that day have been well documented, not just by the victims, the Israeli security forces, the government, and various groups that have visited the sites of the attack to “bear witness,” but by Hamas terrorists themselves. 

"Sophisticated go-pro cameras worn by the monsters who infiltrated southern Israel recorded their heinous crimes in graphic detail. As they carried out their prolonged, brutal onslaught, they took pains to document as much of it as possible, planning to cause additional psychological terror to an already shocked, grieving nation. 

"No way to deny the horrors of October 7   

"The terrorist group even posted this horrific and disturbing footage on its website. Unlike the Nazis, who went to great lengths to conceal their crimes, Hamas boasted of them to the world, leaving no doubt about the brutality and scale of the attack and kidnappings that followed.

"Footage of one young, bloodied woman being grabbed by the hair and forced into the back of a vehicle, and another, recently murdered, her semi-naked corpse splayed out on the back of a truck and driven through Gaza while spat on by onlookers, are just two sickening reels that spring to mind. "

Acts have consequences:   U.N. officials are shocked, shocked, that 9 countries in the West have yanked UNRWA aid - American Thinker  

"It was like the scene in Casablanca.

"United Nations bigshots were shocked, shocked, not to find out that they were employing terrorists, but that the West would yank aid from their crummy little terrorism operation as a result of that information getting out there. Twelve United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine and Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) employees were found to have participated in the barbaric atrocities against innocent Israelis on October 7.

"Another thousand UNRWA employees have been found to be affiliated with Hamas and that's just the ones Israel knows about.

"And 3,000 of them danced and celebrated when they heard about all the mass murder of Jews committed by Hamas terrorists. 

"Here's how gross it was, according to a Wall Street Journal lead editorial:" . . .

"So as United Nations officials whine that Palestinian children will starve, aid-yanks are coming fast and furious. Aid can be delivered another way, as Germany, which also pulled funds has stated.

"It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of dirtbag terrorists. Too bad it didn't happen before October 7."

Voices from the tunnels: a chilling reminder of the ordeal of the hostages in Gaza

 Jewish News

Rockets and a makeshift morgue from the exhibition ‘Voices from the Tunnels’

"It’s lunchtime on a sunny but bitterly cold day in east London. The air carries with it a whiff of incense along with those of hot dogs and traffic fumes. A red bus pushes its way along the main road and in so doing reveals, on a side street, a poster of a Palestinian flag on a lamp post. Several turnings and a few hundred yards further along is a rubble-strewn yard. Visitors who keep walking will soon find themselves at the entrance to a hospital in Gaza.

"A motorcycle parked nearby was used to abduct partygoers from the Nova festival in southern Israel during the Hamas atrocities of 7 October. And right there, easy to miss, hidden in plain sight, is the entrance to a Hamas tunnel.

"Voices from the Tunnels is a dauntingly realistic recreation in a disused warehouse of the conditions in which many of the hostages in Gaza were kept, and in which about 132 of the more than 200 taken are believed still to be held. It opens, at a location that is not being publicised, on Monday 15 January, and Jewish News was given a preview."

‘Voice from the tunnels’: London exhibit aims to recreate reality of Hamas hostages 

The hostages were taken during Hamas’s October 7 massacres, which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst across the border into Israel from the Gaza Strip by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing over 240 hostages of all ages, mostly civilians. Entire families were executed in their homes, and over 360 people were slaughtered at an outdoor festival, many during horrific acts of brutality by the terrorists.

. . ."One militant cuts off the head of an Israeli soldier so his comrades can take pictures of the headless body. Several men shout that they want to be filmed killing Jews. The lifeless bodies of innocent civilians are left strewn across the ground at the Be’im music festival, while open-top pick-up trucks transport some hostages back into Gaza, to be taken to the tunnels. When I visited, former Prime Minister Liz Truss was in the room watching, but left after the first few minutes." . . .

"The 7/10 Human Chain Project have also helped create “Stand with Israel” marches in London, and put up posters calling for the hostages to return. Another of their campaigns tries to put pressure on the Red Cross to give more humanitarian support to the hostages – something that the UN have said is almost impossible due to the ongoing war." . . .

 

When it comes to Hamas terrorism, there’s no ‘justice’ for Israel; UPDATE: 42 survivors of the Nova rave massacre sue...

 The Telegraph

 A call for Israel’s surrender without a concurrent plan to eradicate Hamas is ultimately a call for Israel’s destruction. And what could be more anti-Semitic than that. 

"We will keep doing this to Israel over and over!"

  . . ."The 7/10 Human Chain Project is a grassroots movement – not affiliated with the Israeli government or the country’s embassy in the UK – which attempts to bring to life the horrors of October 7 with the help of visual representations. " . . .

" 'Voices From The Tunnels, a reproduction of an underground prison in Gaza, was on display earlier this month, allowing only small groups of invited guests to visit, again for security reasons. It was the latest in a long line of striking events organized by the Project – from forming human chains carrying photographs of hostages to parking empty buggies in public squares. While every event has been poignant in its own way, this particular one was perhaps the most harrowing because of how close it came to recreating the chilling atmosphere of the tunnels with the devastating use of full-size mannequins." . . .

"As pressure piles on Israel to lay down its arms amid Hamas’s unequivocal declaration that it would repeat the October 7 massacre, it cannot afford to allow the world to forget who broke the ceasefire last year and how. Hamas started this war. It can end it, too.". . .

. . ."Here is a country that knows all too well the consequences of institutionalized injustice and the specter of genocide. A nation that has endured mass death, forced migration and the denial of even the most basic human rights at the hands of foreign colonisers. A place that succeeded in rallying nearly the entire world behind its battle for freedom from white rule. And managed to achieve all of this without resorting to the wide-spread terror tactics that have defined liberation struggles across the Middle East and Levant. In short, a nation that has very little to do with Palestine, and even less with Hamas. " . . .

UPDATED: Soros Dumping a Fortune Into Texas, Funding Operatives with One Goal in Mind

 The Western Journal

"George Soros is striking again.

The progressive billionaire — who has poured a fortune into electing prosecutors who have destroyed criminal justice systems across the United States — is turning his attention to Texas, according to a Fox News report.

And the first Mexican-born woman to serve in the U.S. House has a warning about why Soros is doing it.

With President Joe Biden’s disastrous open-border policy failure to win over Hispanic voters — a failure reflected in Biden’s polling numbers — Soros is putting new millions into a state Democrats are trying to flip to their control.

" 'They’re seeing that Hispanics are shifting towards the Republican Party because they’re realizing that we are the party of prosperity, that we want to build a strong economy, that we want to secure the border, that we want to prioritize the people of this country and not prioritize people from outside this country,” former Rep. Mayra Flores told Fox.

" 'And I believe that it’s our policies that are winning people over, and the struggle is real.

" 'George Soros and the Democratic Party are seeing people like myself that resonate with the Hispanic community,” Flores said. “They resonate with me. I resonate with them. We have similar stories. I’m bilingual. I speak Spanish and English. We have similar stories, and we share that bond.”

"That’s a bond Democrats can’t afford to see building. And a leftist billionaire like Soros can afford to do something about it." . . .

UPDATE: Will America Honor Its Guarantee to Texas? The New York Sun

The principle on which Texas is standing in its feud with the federal government over the southern border is embedded in our Constitution and woven by Texas into the American flag. 

"Will President Biden honor America’s guarantee to the Lone Star State? That’s the question in what is shaping up as a Texas-sized constitutional conundrum over who is in charge of enforcing the border. Governor Abbott has gone so far as to declare Texas is under “invasion” by migrants from countries to the south. That, he says, breaches Uncle Sam’s constitutional “guarantee” to the states, in Article IV, section 4, to “protect each of them against Invasion.”

"One can’t blame Texas for being irate over this failure on the part of President Biden and the federal government. Texas, after all, was a sovereign republic of its own prior to 1845, when it stitched its star to Old Glory. It joined the union in part because of that federal guarantee. The doughty Texans had already won their independence by beating a Mexican army at San Jacinto in 1836. A debate ensued as to whether to accede to America."

If Trump Were President Those Soldiers Would Be Alive

 David Strom – HotAir

"The assassination, which took place in Iraq, was a devastating blow to Iran’s ability to conduct terrorist operations and was a signal that the US was unwilling to sit back and take blows to our interests. Biden, instead, has signaled weakness time and again."

"Alternate histories are always speculative, so I cannot prove my assertion.

"But let’s face it, most rational people know–even if they won’t admit it–that Biden has been extraordinarily weak when it comes to foreign policy.

"Even in Ukraine, where he has the best claim to being assertive in his foreign policy, Biden’s evident weakness in Afghanistan comforted Putin and helped inspire his invasion in 2022. It likely led him to believe he could get away with invading Ukraine with minimal consequences. There is a reason why Russia’s two incursions into Ukraine happened during Obama’s term and then Biden’s. He feared Trump because he was unpredictable and strong.

"Putin had good reason to believe that Biden would be, if anything, weaker than Obama. He had demonstrated that fact in Afghanistan and his policy of appeasement toward Iran. Obama had an unerringly bad strategic sense, but he also liked killing America’s enemies. Biden was weak on every level.

"Trump, on the other hand, sent weapons to Ukraine during his term, making clear that he was willing to support the country in its conflict with Russia. We will never know what Trump would have done if Putin invaded Ukraine in a second Trump term, but neither would Putin. He probably would have waited for a more predictable and weaker president.

"Strength is the essence of deterrence, the best way to avoid military conflict with adversaries. Biden couldn’t deter a puppy.

"He obviously can’t deter Iran because Biden has been obsessed with appeasing them. Even his Iran envoy was an actual Iranian spy. His administration still has Iranophiles." . . .

We live in this country We pay its taxes. It is the country where your own daughter is a congresswoman. As long as I am in the congress, others will not take Somalia’s territorial waters. The US gov will not support others to take what’s ours. So don’t worry about that dear Minnesota. You got your lady in the congress. She is well aware and feel what you’re feeling. As for President Hassan Sheikh (of Somalia) I’m saying: we are very happy because of you. Because of the great work you did. You have showed Somalis and others that no matter how much problems we have as Somalis, we are capable people. We are people who know their country. People that never in their history….(inaudible) people that their country can never be put in danger.

Rumored Biden replacement Gavin Newsom tells Joe how he would beat Trump   . . ."Newsom is considered a possible Democratic contender for the presidency in 2028, or as a possible last-minute replacement for Biden in 2024, should the president bow out of the race.

"The comments come as the 2024 election cycle gets underway. Biden is currently expected to win the Democratic nomination this summer, while former President Donald Trump leads in the Republican primary against former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

"If Trump and Biden win their respective nominations, the election would be a repeat of the 2020 election, in which Biden emerged as the victor.
