Joe Biden Just Committed an Impeachable Offense, and Donald Trump Might Have Something to Say About It

If this contemptible Quisling* was president in 1939-1945, they would be speaking German in England, and all the British War Cabinet, Including Winston Churchill, long dead. TD

"With that said, this is another example of the president throwing Israel under the bus. He's so terrified he's going to lose the Islamists in Dearborn, MI, and with it, the presidency, that he's willing to hold up already-passed aid to an ally in the middle of the most crucial part of their operation against a terrorist group. If it weren't real life, you'd think it was a parody." 

"Joe Biden has committed his umpteenth impeachable offense. According to reports, the Biden administration has halted multiple arms shipments to Israel. That decision comes amid a domestic political crisis for the president in which he is desperately seeking to appease Hamas-supporting Democrats who have taken to the streets. 

"The shipments are Boeing-made precision bombs and follow a ruse by Hamas to claim they had accepted a "ceasefire" just as Israel began its assault on Rafah. 

"In other words, Biden just committed an impeachable offense. Congress appropriated that aid to Israel. He doesn't get to delay it in an attempt to smooth over his political misfortunes at home. How do I know that? Because that's the standard Democrats set with their first impeachment of Donald Trump. 

"The former president was impeached and given a trial in the Senate in early 2020 based on the idea that he had held up an aid package to Ukraine in an attempt to benefit politically (in this case, investigating Biden family corruption in the country). There is no tangible difference between that and what Biden is doing with this aid to Israel. Congress appropriated the money, and it is being held up by the president to benefit him politically.

*Quisling: " . . ." a citizen or politician of an occupied country who collaborates with an enemy occupying force – or more generally as a synonym for traitor or collaborator.^[1][2][3] The word originates from the surname of the Norwegian war-time leader Vidkun Quisling, who headed a domestic Nazi collaborationist regime during World War II."

The Democrat Party's Antisemitism Went Big With Barack Obama

 The Federalist

Obama’s embrace of antisemites is responsible for the anti-Israel radicalism rampant among Democrats today.

"In 2018, a photo surfaced showing Obama and well-known antisemite Louis Farrakhan smiling together during a 2005 Congressional Black Caucus meeting. Farrakhan — who heads Nation of Islam, a black supremacist group — has claimed that Judaism is a “gutter religion,” whites are a “race of devils,” and Adolf Hitler “was a very great man.”

"For a man who has never been shy about sharing his sanctimonious opinions, former President Barack Obama has been noticeably quiet about anti-Israel anarchists’ takeover of U.S. college campuses.

"'On Monday, Columbia University — Obama’s alma mater — announced it will not host its university-wide commencement ceremony for this year’s graduating class. That appears to be a response to the pro-Hamas demonstrations that have engulfed the school for weeks. The announcement came days after the university (finally) permitted law enforcement to arrest participants unlawfully occupying a school building.

"One would imagine the erection of illegal encampments and harassment of Jewish students at Columbia and other American universities would prompt outcry from any former president. Donald Trump, for example, has repeatedly condemned these demonstrators and their anti-Israeli sentiments. But for Obama, the task is seemingly too difficult.

"Since the launch of the Columbia encampments last month, Obama has issued a smattering of posts on X, none of which address leftists’ takeover of campuses throughout the country. While the former president wished Jews a happy Passover on April 22, he couldn’t be bothered to condemn the antisemitic behavior on display at his alma mater or any of America’s post-secondary institutions." . . .

This first post is Joy Reid-worthy:   Maxine beyond repair - Silvio Canto, Jr.  . . ."Democratic Representative Maxine Waters stated Donald Trump supporters are “training in the hills” in preparation for an attack.

“I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that [Trump] is connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere and targeting what communities they are going to attack,” she said.

Waters’ allegation comes as she fears what might happen if US President Joe Biden wins the November 5 election.

The 85-year-old appeared on MSNBC’s ‘The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart’ when she made the bold claim.

Waters’ comments about Trump could be considered hypocritical after she ordered her supporters to “absolutely harass” members of Trump’s cabinet in 2018.

"To be honest, I don't follow MSNBC -- I'd rather watch cartoons -- but these comments from the congresswoman merit some response."

. . ."Of course, the Congresswoman knows that MSNBC is the only venue on TV that would let her say that. Even “desperately looking for ratings” CNN would pull the plug on this woman and tell her to get some help, and quickly." . . .

Jack Smith's Lawfare Scheme Under Scrutiny and Fraying -  "Prior to the Obama-era the radicals tearing down government defended the transparently guilty, their allies and fellow traveling communists. Those who were arrested for violence the radicals supported, were defended, excused and their activity justified.

"After the election of Obama, as noted first by author Jack Cashill, something changed; the radicals reversed their position. Instead of defending the transparently guilty, the Obama aligned usurpers -now with actual power at their fingertips- began accusing the transparently innocent.

"In the “anger games” era of Barack Obama, the radicals began attacking the innocent and using their allies in media as part of the attack narrative. George Zimmerman, Darren Wilson, the Baltimore-six, etc. The list is long; we tracked them all with detailed research; however, the theme amid every story was the same. Isolate, ridicule and marginalize the transparently innocent target and make them appear guilty." . . .

So the court had the opportunity repeatedly to say we are not going to take this courtroom through details of this relationship. If you want to establish a relationship occurred, do so. Establish the dates, it’s likely those facts could’ve been been stipulated to. So the prosecutors wanted to get salacious details out. This is a form of punishment. They are trying to use a witness for punitive purposes and in my view, political purposes, and this is what happens. It happened because the judge lost control of his courtroom.

"John Roberts said, “There seems to be no argument, Jonathan, that this was only to make Trump look like a bad guy. ”

"Turley said, “You know, you really can’t have this cat walk backward. The judge knows that, the prosecutors know that, but what the prosecutors are arguing here is completely ridiculous.”

Israeli Officials Say U.S. Blindsided Them with Surprise Hamas 'Agreement'

 Joel B. Pollak (breitbart.com) 

No, Bibi, NO!

"Israeli officials said Monday that Biden administration officials had secretly worked with mediators, without Israel’s knowledge, to craft a Hamas “agreement” to ceasefire terms in an attempt to deter an attack on Hamas in Rafah.

"On Monday, as Breitbart News reported, with Israel beginning its operation in Rafah by warning civilians to leave, Hamas suddenly announced that it agreed to a “ceasefire” — on unfamiliar terms that Israel had not actually offered.

"Israel, regarding the move as a bluff aimed at the international media in an attempt to pressure Israel to abandon the operation, decided to send junior-level diplomats to Cairo, Egypt, to explore talks, while continuing to fight in Rafah.

"The White House seized on the announcement of an agreement by Hamas, though it would not say (or speculate) what was in the agreement itself, puzzling reporters.

"Barak Ravid of Axios.com reported (original emphasis):

Israeli officials claim the Biden administration knew about the latest hostage and ceasefire deal proposal Egypt and Qatar negotiated with Hamas, but didn’t brief Israel before Hamas announced it accepted it on Monday. A senior U.S. official pushed back saying “American diplomats have been engaged with Israeli counterparts. There have been no surprises.”  …

Judenrein in America

"They are honing their skills.  Our leaders have failed us miserably in their feckless response to what could essentially be called a minor revolution.  For all those downplayers and deniers of this, taking down the American flag and putting up a foreign flag is just that.  This is not hyperbole."  I love this scene from "Saving Private Ryan"

Michael Berenhaus - American Thinker   "Judenrein, the German word for an area “cleansed of Jews,” used by the Nazis to describe their ultimate goal, is alive and well in America.  On college campuses, if a Jew does not conform to a certain ideology, he is not allowed in — not welcome.  And that is the state of affairs in numerous American college campuses today.  There are blocked off zones, cleansed of Jews or Jew-free.

Lost on politicians, college administrators, and some other Americans is that if this occurred with any other ethnic or racial group, it would be widely abhorred, without debate.  However, it seems to get a free pass while being done to the most persecuted people in the history of the world.

How do we know this?  Few seem to be in a hurry to stop it.  These ethnically cleansed college zones continue and are metastasizing.  So much for the selective “Inclusion” part of the darling progressive initiative across America known as “diversity, inclusion, and equity” or DIE.  DIE has done nothing for Jews but let them down.  The ethnic group that makes up 2% of the American population is the recipient of more acts of hatred against it than all other religious groups combined.  Fathom that!  Moreover, it dwarfs the other groups, since October 7." . . .

Douglas Murray: Students Chanting "Intifada" Clueless To Its Evil

Listen to What They’re Chanting; Reuters  Mindless sheep.

. . .The chanting creates a rhythm that can induce a sort of hypnosis, fusing individuals into a movement. The beat should be no more sophisticated than Bum-bah bum-bah bum-bah bum-bah, as in, “There is only one solution! Intifada, revolution!” To claim that a chant means only what it says is like asserting that a theatrical production is the same as a script." . . .

Can the disgusting scarf people on campus be educated to the point that they become capable of discerning what is naively campus fashionable and what is absolutely evil? Are they not aware of the years of attacks on Israeli homes and families with rockets, bombs, and knives by these murderous people calling themselves "Palestinians"?

Jews have been attacked and massacred en masse for no reason than they are who they are, and were at last given a home for their own in the land that had been theirs since the days of Abraham. Two movies I see as properly connected are, of course, "Schindler's List", coupled with "Exodus", a story of Holocaust victims leaving Europe for the land of their own, first told as given them by God in Genesis 12. 

Over the past century, evil people including Nazis, the Hitlerphile Nazi copycat Mussolini, Muslims, and the so-called Palestinians have burned Jews alive with glee. Jew's desire to live in peace in their land which they made to prosper has been anathema to those people who now include easily influenced American campus sheep chanting phrases they do not understand.

She had to go through multipul surgeries for a whole year because inside the explosive was a box of nails to make as much damage as possible.

'Weakness Is on Display': New Trump Video Hits Biden for Botched Response to Pro-Hamas Unrest (townhall.com)

Biden, who has said he understands the "passion" of antisemitic, anti-Israel agitators who have "a point," is contrasted with former President Trump's pro-Israel policies matched with cracking down on pro-terrorist violence in the U.S.

. . ."Matt Brooks, CEO of the RJC, pointed to surging "antisemitism and anti-Israel extremism" around the country and emphasized that "the Jewish community needs President Donald J. Trump back in the White House" because the "stakes could not be higher." . . .

"In these dark and dangerous days for the United States and our ally Israel, we know President Trump will boldly lead with moral clarity as he has done before, fighting the scourge of antisemitism and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Jewish state," Brooks said.

Trump back in office to restore order, support our critical ally, Israel, and bring peace through strength once more," the RNC chairman declared." 

MSNBC’s Wallace: “All of the Conspiracy Theorists are Republicans.” –

 Jonathan Turley  "There has been a notable shift toward more and more extreme rhetoric in the media from predicting that democracy will end with this election to “disappearing” journalists and gays to ending all rights for everyone. On Monday, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace added to this litany with a claim that “as with racists, all of the conspiracy theorists are Republicans.”

"After discussing how GOP candidates have stated that they believe that the last election was “stolen,” Wallace added “It is not accurate to say everyone in the Republican Party is a conspiracy theorist but as with racists, all of the conspiracy theorists are Republicans.”

"It was a crushingly ironic moment. Wallace has been repeatedly criticized for spreading false news. For example, the “Deadline: White House” host told viewers that they should not take the Hunter Biden laptop seriously: “We shouldn’t look at it as anything other than a Russian disinformation operation.”

"Wallace heralded the Mueller investigation while pushing the now debunked Russian collusion claims. However, on the Durham investigation, she told viewers that they could ignore it despite the fact that the report stands uncontradicted:

“Durham’s whole thing is predicated on it’s like a rabbit hole conspiracy that suggests that the Trump-Barr paranoia infected his ability to stand back and evaluate whether the probe yielded guilty convictions of people who would have had nothing to do with any of these questions he looked at.”

"Wallace and MSNBC also pushed false claims about Bill Barr clearing Lafayette Park for a Trump “photo op.”. . .

"On August 5th, 2019, MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace falsely claimed that Trump had talked about “exterminating Latinos.”

“ .True that, girls,” Joy Reid said. “Joe Biden is normally a chipper, coherent, logical president who really likes everyone in his party.

New York judge threatens to go banana republic on Trump over gag orders - Monica Showalter   . . ."If that judge lets his desire to jail Trump get the best of him, the U.S. will become a laughingstock globally as the first nation that willingly chose to give up its superpower status and become a banana republic. Its credibility will be zero, and don't imagine anyone will do anything but laugh when the ruling Democrats speak of 'democracy.' The judge is threatening to jail the former president if he doesn't stop commenting on problems with his courtroom, which he wants everyone to think are on the up-and-up despite the ugly facts that he doesn't want to get out to the public. Such a sensitive soul he is. That's a banana republic right there. Anyone can be jailed for anything in such places and they often are. After that, the Navalny "solution" can happen and somehow, the security cameras weren't working.

"It's disturbing as heck what these people will do to him if they get away with it -- and why voters must vote against this kind of political score-settling no matter what this partisan judge does to Trump. The kinds of charges being leveled at Trump are genuinely out of control and badly in need of some checks and balances. The last check and balance left is from the voters."

Has Leftist Lawfare Created the Police State Yet? - Greg Salsbury

. . ."So, what happens when we follow this path to its end? It is likely that at least one of the kangaroo courts will convict Donald Trump for something criminal.

They need him in jail, and it is more likely than not that they will put him there.

"Our mainstream media will cheer. It will be a travesty and a very dark day for America, but don’t expect the left to treat it that way. Anyone who points that out and refuses to acknowledge Donald Trump as a “criminal” or even “felon” will likely be given the J6 treatment by the cabal."

Pulitzer Prize for Gaza Coverage by the Times Fails To Include Story on Rapes by Hamas

Neighbors of Hamas.

Maggie Hroncich; The New York Sun  "The New York Times was awarded a coveted Pulitzer Prize on Monday — one of three the newspaper won — for its “wide-ranging” coverage of “Hamas’ lethal attack in southern Israel on Oct. 7, Israel’s intelligence failures and the Israeli military’s sweeping, deadly response in Gaza.” 

"Yet the Times’s list of winning Israel and Gaza work, which topped the International Reporting category, notably excluded the chilling December report by Jeffrey Gettleman, Anat Schwartz, and Adam Sella about Hamas displaying “a pattern of rape, mutilation and extreme brutality against women in the attacks on Israel.”

"The Times did not include the Hamas rape piece as part of its package of Gaza stories it submitted to the  Pulitzer Committee for consideration for the International Reporting award. A source familiar with the matter tells the Sun that the piece was submitted for another category and did not win, and noted that the Times has some 1,700 war coverage stories, many of which are not included in the prizes.  

"The Hamas rape article, “Screams Without Words,” caused an uproar among the Times’s anti-Israel staffers, who tried to find problems with the article and leaked about internal feuding to the Intercept, a left-wing publication. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Times launched an internal investigation to try to find the leakers. It was inconclusive. " . . .

"A member of the far-left "Squad" facing a tough challenge from within his own party recently attended a fundraiser co-hosted by an Islamic leader who said he was "happy to see" the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians.

"Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who represents New York's 16th Congressional District, attended the May 1 fundraiser at a private residence in Fairfax, Virginia, and didn't seem to mind the presence of Nihad Awad, a highly controversial and antisemitic figure who serves as the national executive director and co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

"Awad faced sharp scrutiny last year after expressing his pleasure with the Hamas attack that resulted in the deaths of nearly 1,200 Israelis, including women and babies, and claiming Israel "does not have a right to self-defense."

" 'The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege – the walls of the concentration camp – on Oct. 7," Awad said during the 16th annual Convention for Palestine on Nov. 24 near Chicago. "And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land that they were not free to walk in."

"He continued, "And yes, the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense, have the right to defend themselves. And yes, Israel as an occupying power does not have that right to self-defense."

"The Biden administration later scrambled to distance itself from CAIR following Awad's comments, stating it was removing the group from its publicly listed pledge to fight antisemitism." . . .
