As I wrote on March 9, the Biden administration and many Democrats, are using the old Obama playbook of attacking Netanyahu because he refuses to capitulate to American political weakness in the face of vile Islamist butchers, Biden Admin, Like Obama Before It, Has Found An Enemy It’s Willing To Fight: Bibi Netanyahu:

. . ."It’s disgusting what he did. It’s pandering. It’s pandering to the anti-Israel Democratic base, the pro-Hamas vote in Michigan. It is the worst thing he could possibly have done because he’s trying to divide the Jewish community. He knows there’s in the American Jewish community, which is overwhelmingly liberal, he knows there’s some dislike for Netanyahu. And what he’s trying to do, he’s trying to separate Israel and Netanyahu, which has been Biden administration policy. I wrote about this about two weeks ago, that’s where they’re going to distinguish. ‘Well, we hate Netanyahu, but we love Israel.’ Well, they’re in the middle of a war, okay?

"And why do they hate Netanyahu so much right now? It’s because he’s refusing to capitulate to the American President and the American Secretary of State who want Hamas to survive. They do. You can’t read their actions any other way.

"Hamas now exists only in Rafa, four battalions by all counts, which is thousands of Hamas fighters. That’s where the leadership is. That’s where the hostages are. And all of American policy for the last two to three weeks, maybe month, has been to try to bully Israel into not finishing off Hamas. And now Chuck Schumer steps in and picks up that cudgel and he hits Netanyahu over the head. And why is he hitting net over the head? Is because he’s been too uncompromising.

"I think there’s going to be a huge, there is a huge backlash to this. I think what Schumer did is disgraceful. He’s trying to walk it back." . . .

Who’s who in Israel vs. Hamas? - American Thinker   "Jews have lived in Israel for more than three thousand years — obviously longer than Christians and Muslims, given that Judaism predates these other religions.  They have every right be there.  And unlike the Jew-hatred running rampant throughout the Middle East and well beyond, Israel's Muslim minority are citizens who can freely vote and have representation in the Knesset.  After all, Israel is a modern, Westernized democracy. 

"Israel's supporters and detractors must always be free to peacefully protest, express their views, and critique the opinions of others without fear of being fired or suspended from their jobs, persecuted, prosecuted, arrested, threatened, beaten up, harassed, censured, or censored.  After all, freedom means nothing if we don't find it within ourselves to tolerate commentary vehemently at odds with our strongly held beliefs." . . .

. . ."Hamas, by contrast, is a terrorist organization pursuing the genocide of the Jewish people.  It is on par with Hitler and the Nazis.  Finally, Hamas — not Israel — must be held accountable for the deaths of the innocent Palestinians it uses as human shields." . . .

Qatar Issues 'Stark Ultimatum' To Hamas Leaders, Threatening Expulsion, 'Terror Group' Responds (youtube.com)  "Qatar has set an ultimatum for senior Hamas leaders to negotiate a hostage deal or face expulsion. The US is pushing for a hostage deal before Ramadan, with Qatar playing a crucial role due to its aid to Gaza and hosting of Hamas leaders. Negotiations have stalled as neither Hamas nor Israel are willing to make concessions.Israel's Mossad accused Hamas of wanting to escalate tensions during Ramadan, undermining negotiations. The Paris proposal suggested a six-week ceasefire and an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners."

Schumer’s anti-Netanyahu speech strengthens Bibi in Israel's war to defeat Hamas (msn.com)   "Having seen his lowest levels of support in months, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's popularity has gotten a bounce in the polls, which some say is partly due to the Biden administration and Democrats' growing criticism against the Jewish state.  

"Criticism grew this week from across the political spectrum after New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer’s speech calling for new elections.  

" 'As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me: The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after Oct. 7," Schumer said Thursday on the floor of the Senate. "The world has changed, radically, since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past.' " . . .

"The Gays For Gaza People Are Idiots" - Douglas Murray

"When it comes to "Queers for Palestine," what's richly ironic is that many LGBT Palestinians seek asylum in Israel—the same country these stateside protesters are rallying against."  Billy Binion  

The Contradictions of 'Queers for Palestine' (reason.com)   "The Israel-Hamas war has made political allies out of some unusual bedfellows. Yet the strangest pairing on display thus far is probably "Queers for Palestine," most notably because those protesters would risk summary execution should they take their demonstration to the Gaza Strip.

"The movement isn't new. But following the terrorist attacks launched against Israel by Hamas, the Palestinian group that controls Gaza, it has seen a sort of reemergence at various protests. "Queer rights! Trans rights!" protesters are heard chanting in a video taken in New York City. "We say no to genocide!"

"That protesters appear to be blaming Israel for those attacks—which have included, among other things, Hamas militants murdering people, filming those acts, and putting the videos on social media for the victims' families and friends to see—is perverse. But to marry that cause to LGBT rights is simply unhinged from reality." . . .

Biden to McDonald's: Fix Your Ice Cream Machines!

 Darrell Frost – PJ Media

"While crime plagues our cities and the illegal alien invasion continues, Joe Biden and his administration are focused on the real issues facing the country, like the size of a Snickers bar or a bag of chips.

"Now, he’s cracking down on another menace to our taste buds: McDonald’s oft-broken soft serve ice cream machines.

"Of course, given Biden’s well-known (and perhaps dementia-induced) penchant for ice cream, it’s hard to say this is surprising.

"As reported by The Verge, the Federal Trade Commision and the Department of Justice submitted a joint comment Thursday to the U.S. Copyright Office requesting an exemption to Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which imposes penalties for violating software copyrights. The exemption would allow McDonald’s franchise owners to repair broken soft serve ice cream machines themselves without waiting for service from a technician employed by the company that manufactures the machines, Illinois-based Taylor Commercial Foodservices.

"Citing another comment provided by the consumer rights advocacy group Public Knowledge and parts retailer iFixit, the FTC and DOJ note that broken soft serve machines cost around $625 a day in lost sales and that it can take up to 90 days for service from a licensed repair technician at a price of more than $300 per 15 minutes.

Border Patrol Slams Joe Biden for Being Senile, As Things Are Getting Downright Scary

You go, Girl! Riley Gaines: teaching the NCAA how to lose

 Mike McDaniel - American Thinker

"As is now apparent beyond any doubt, men competing in women’s sports are also capable, even inadvertently, of seriously injuring women. Trans cheerleaders have long suggested biological women simply “need to learn to lose” so men pretending to be woman can live their “truth.” Perhaps the NCAA lawsuit can teach those living in their own reality to learn to lose as well."

Toon added by TD

"Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs) live in a reality of their own making. That used to be universally understood as mental illness, though so long as the afflicted were harmless, was tolerated. Unfortunately, contemporary D/s/cs demand others live in and praise their delusional realities. The world must adapt to the needs of the deluded few. That creates ever-shifting worlds where the demands of the profoundly confused are exalted over the real reality of the many. Nowhere is this more obvious, and disturbing, than in the world of trans athletes:

A group of 16 female college athletes have launched a lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) for allowing trans athletes to compete against them and being forced to use a female locker room with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, who still has “full male genitalia.”

According to The Times & Sunday Times, the 16 female litigants are charging that the NCAA committed “institutionalized cheating and discrimination” by supporting and attempting to include Thomas.

. . . Screenshot here.

"In trans reality, male athletes who would never earn a spot on a medal stand can suddenly “identify” as female and vault to the top ranks of female athletics. They claim they do this to conform to their true selves, not at all to win medals, scholarships and fame they could never attain as men. However, the fact that female athletes virtually never suddenly identify as male, and those that do don’t suddenly win, reveals their hypocrisy. There’s no advantage in it because real world athletics don’t adapt well to women trying to compete with men. Amazingly, such people "identify" as either male or female, never the innumerable other invented genders."

Perhaps the only way to force change is for female athletes to universally refuse to compete against men pretending to be women. Unfortunately, that would deny them scholarships and their sports, and allow trans to win by default. The NCAA and most other athletic sanctioning bodies seem to think that appropriate.

Biden’s cyber-mess flying under the radar

BIDEN UPDATE:  I wish Biden would leave Israel alone: Gen. Keane (youtube.com)

Fox News senior strategic analyst Gen. Jack Keane (Ret.) on how the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal contributed to the ISIS resurgence and the need to allow Israel to continue fighting Hamas.

 

 Julio Rivera

"Joe Biden’s presidency has hit new lows in 2024.  Despite what many media outlets and talking heads on the left wanted to portray as an “energetic” and “fiery” State of the Union address last week, most Americans were not impressed by the speech, as the customary post-SOTU polling spike that most presidents enjoy hasn’t been there for Joe Biden.

"In fact, multiple polls released in the days since the speech have gone in the opposite direction for Biden.  According to the Yahoo News/YouGov poll, Biden’s approval rating went from 40% prior to the speech to 39% this week.  This increasing dissatisfaction with the current president was echoed in polling conducted by FiveThirtyEight, where, prior to the SOTU, Biden held a 38% approval rating on March 6 vs. a 37% approval rating on March 12.

"The speech itself was a clinic in Beltway gaslighting, with Biden making a number of questionable to outright dishonest claims related to job growth, inflation, and so many other issues of concern to Americans.

"On job growth, Biden’s claim to have created “15 million new jobs” in three years fails to acknowledge the fact that about 12 million of those jobs can and should be classified as post-COVID “Return-to-Work” jobs that were actually created by his predecessor, President Donald Trump.

"On the topic of inflation, Biden actually told the joint session of Congress that the United States had achieved the “lowest in the world.”  But in reality, the United States is experiencing higher inflation than a number of industrialized nations and new reports show that the rate has actually ticked upward." . . .

How can the Democrats Ignore Hamas rapes and tortures? feckless and corrupt

 "kapos supervised their fellow inmates, oversaw their slave labor, and often punished them for the slightest infractions — sometimes by beating them to death.  In 2019, the Jewish Chronicle called the word kapo the “worst insult a Jew can give another Jew.' ” . . .

Moonbattery Kapo Chuck Schumer Undercuts Israel - Moonbattery

. . ."They would prefer a liberal patsy who will agree to a ceasefire with Hamas.

"Democrats know all about the systematic rape, torture, and murder of women and children inflicted on October 7. They know that “ceasefire” means surrender and that “from the river to the sea” means the eradication of Jews from their homeland. Yet they undercut our only real ally in the Middle East by trying to topple its leadership while it has its back to the wall.

"Election interference targeting Netanyahu began under Obama, who some believe is currently the acting president." . . .

Mr. Schumer said that as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the United States, he feels an obligation to speak out. He said his last name derives from the Hebrew word Shomer, or “guardian.”

Rep. Jayapal Should Not Be Reelected   "Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the Progressive Caucus chair, should not be reelected to Congress. She is both heartless as well as out of touch with reality, morality, and evidence-based truth. 

"Like the members of the infamous Squad, the smooth-talking and rather arrogant Jayapal continues to demand a meaningless “ceasefire” in Gaza, speaks passionately about the “displaced” Gazan civilians, but does not say a word about the displaced Israelis who had to be moved away both from the northern and southern borders and who remain in limbo.

She demands evenhandedness when she herself is hardly capable of it.

"Jayapal and her congressional comrades are in complete denial about what Hamas, trained and funded by Iran, did on Oct. 7 in southern Israel. And blind to what Iran has in mind for America.

"In a recent interview on CNN with Dana Bash, Jayapal refused to focus on what Hamas did to Israeli civilians on Oct. 7. She denied that “progressive” women failed to respond to the mass gang rapes and torture of Israeli girls and women.

I call on the Democratic Party in Washington’s 7th Congressional District to hold Rep. Jayapal’s feet to the fire on Aug. 6, 2024, the next primary election, and vote her out.

One bright spot: Congress fights back against Biden’s anti-Israel policies - CarolineGlick.com   "I spoke with Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) about his efforts to fight the Biden administration’s call for a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel before the terrorist group in the Gaza Strip is eliminated. The chair of the House Freedom Caucus wrote a resolution backed by nearly 40 House representatives that rebukes the president for his push for a Palestinian state in the midst of current aggression that also involves Hezbollah to the north.

"The resolution further demands a halt of aid to the Gaza Strip until more oversight is provided. The two also discuss what can be done on congressional and political levels to ensure that the United States remains supportive of Israel in its fight against Hamas."

"Tensions are rising within the Democratic Party around how to best condemn Hamas for sexual violence in its war with Israel, an escalating battle prompting fury from the White House to Capitol Hill.

"Democrats have expressed strong criticism over instances of violence and rape by Hamas — the Palestinian terrorist organization responsible for the Oct. 7 attack on Israel — toward Israeli women.

"But many in the party say progressives have in recent days prevaricated or have not gone far enough to address the human rights violation of using sexual violence as a war weapon, prompting an outpouring of anger throughout the fractured party." . . .

 Weissmann called the ruling by Judge McAfee “absolutely infuriating” on Friday’s Morning Joe shortly after it was released. (LINK)

"Judge Scott McAffee and his wife previously donated to the campaign of Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis, so the decision today doesn’t exactly come as a surprise.

"Judge McAffee doesn’t want to be the white guy who removes the black district attorney. So, instead he outlined all of the malfeasance, impropriety, lack of judgement, corruption and poor conduct, then tells the DA either her office or the special prosecutor she appointed needs to be removed.  Heck, it’s almost as if McAffee is auditioning to be the next House Speaker.

Anytime ideology and dogma trump merit, logic, and safety, the result is predictably dangerous. America needs to recalibrate its priorities to protect the lives and aspirations of its citizens.

 "The horrific murder of Laken Riley by a repeated felony offender and illegal alien Jose Ibarra, 26, a Venezuelan citizen, was preventable—had federal immigration laws simply been enforced by the Biden administration.

"When called out in his recent State of the Union address, President Biden referenced the deceased Ms. Riley. But Biden misidentified her as “Lincoln Riley”—the USC football coach!

"Biden only accurately noted that she “was killed by an “illegal.””

"True—but almost immediately the left was infuriated over Biden’s accurate use of the supposedly insensitive “illegal” for the murderer Ibarra.

"Biden soon apologized for correctly identifying her killer as an illegal alien—but not for misidentifying the victim.

"He left the callous impression that he was more upset about offending his open-borders base than about the savage beating of a young 22-year-old American nursing student.

"Biden’s woke open-borders agenda supersedes any worry over the subsequent mounting number of Americans who have fallen victim to foreign gangs and criminals. He seems oblivious to the nearly 100,000 Americans who die from fentanyl imported across open borders.

"The same idea of abstract humanity juxtaposed with concrete callousness towards humans characterizes much of the current leftist agenda.

"The Biden administration envisions mandating the use of electric vehicles and banning natural gas appliances. These measures will supposedly help “save” the planet—even as they make life far more expensive and dangerous for the middle class and poor in the here and now.

"We are told that biologically born males who transition to females have a civil right to compete in female sports.

"Such transgender activism may sound compassionate in the abstract. Yet in the concrete, thousands of women are put in danger by competing against the much larger musculoskeletal frames and natural strength of transitioning males.

"Moreover, tens of thousands of young female athletes are losing opportunities to excel and set records—thus destroying over a half-century of women’s efforts to reach parity with men’s sports.

Rebecca Downs  "Joe Biden's team realizes he needs those critical Rust Belt states like Michigan and Wisconsin and is trying to appeal to them with visits over the past few days. 

"I wrote earlier about the campaign event he did in Michigan on Thursday where he wanted to take questions but then his staff swept in to shut that down in a troubling video showing that he's not in charge. The staff also tried to make it tough for the media to hear what Biden was saying at his stop. Maybe because Biden appeared to be suffering from a lot of confusion.

"He also went to Wisconsin on Wednesday to try to convince people that his "investments are rebuilding our communities" as his White House public schedule claims. That's a cruel joke since his "investments" [translate: spending] has contributed to the inflation that we are all suffering from. 

"But Biden tell people not to believe the evidence of their own eyes. We all know how high that inflation has been under Joe Biden. Under him, it went up to 9.1 percent. Now it's lower than it was at its highest point under him, but it's still higher than when he came in, when it was 1.4 percent. 

"But listen as Biden, struggling with the teleprompter again and squinting up a storm, tells us, “We have among the lowest inflation rates of any country in America!"

The art of terror created by Hamas and US Democrats

 Is there no end to those who bring nothing but death and terror to the Jewish people? TD

As in Nazi persecution, one pictures this scene greeting Hamas raiders as they opened doors of Israeli 'safe rooms" in the villages around Gaza. This could have been a scene shown in the Hamas videos that were watched and cheered by the Gazans. TD

‘It’s important to me to show what happened’: the [leftist] Israeli artist drawing the traumatic events of 7 October (theartnewspaper.com)   . . ."The first morning [of the Israel-Hamas conflict] I was like, OK don’t worry, nothing serious is happening. But then when I saw the terrorists coming I was like, oh my god. I had friends from Russia staying in my house. They were supposed to go back the same day. We woke up because of an alarm, but in Tel Aviv it’s pretty normal. And then they told us there are terrorists coming from house to house and I thought: this cannot be. I couldn’t believe such a thing could happen—that terrorists were walking free without any interruption for so many hours. At first you think it cannot be, and then you realise what is happening is worse than you can imagine." . . .

 

. . ."To those who recognise and condemn the brutalities of 7 October but are calling for a ceasefire—an immediate end to the loss of civilian life in Gaza—what do you say?

"I don’t know. I’m too confused right now. Whatever will bring our hostages back as soon as possible. I’m only sure that there must be a two-state solution in the end. This is the only way.

"What is your hope for the future of Israel and Palestine?

"I hope that Hamas will go down and I hope that there will be a Palestinian state along the limits [drawn in] 1967. I hope that this crazy, extreme right-wing government will be replaced by someone more normal. But this is my hope, and my fear is that everything will be even more political than it is now because people are so angry. And there are so many dead in Israel and Gaza—usually when this happens it’s a chance for more radical groups to take over. I’m afraid that’s more realistic than ever." . . .
