The U.S. ignores Israel’s right to the land and promotes a Palestinian State instead

 Ted Belman - American Thinker

In Since when did the Palestinians become entitled to a state?  I pointed out that the Rogers Plan in 1969 started the process of supporting the Palestinian cause and every administration since then did likewise.  This culminated with President Clinton ramming Arafat down Israel’s throat. Only Trump went his own way. 

"I recently critiqued an interview of Columbia University's Prof. Jeffrey Sachs by Judge Andrew Napolitano on U.S. policy on Gaza.

"The judge started out by referring to "the slaughter that was going on in Gaza.”

"How can he be so ignorant? It has been proven repeatedly that there is no slaughter or genocide in Gaza. In fact Israel has the lowest kill ratio of any war previously by a factor of at least five.

"Surprisingly he spoke respectfully about Ben Gvir, who is Israel's minister of national security, and Bezalel Smotrich, Israel's minister of finance.

"The Saudi foreign minister said on May 27, 2024:

“Israel doesn’t get to decide if the Palestinians have a right to self-determination”

“This is something that is enshrined in the UN Charter.”

“It is something that is enshrined in international law.”

 “It is also a founding principle in the UN decision to found Israel”

"The judge called it “an accurate presentation of history” and Sachs added “What he said was absolutely correct.”

"I got(sic)news for all of them, none of it is true. Why so?

"Start with self-determination." . . .

‘Pay for Slay’: Palestinians still rewarding terror - David Rubin  "The Palestinian Authority (P.A.)’s “Pay for Slay” program is a deeply disturbing initiative that incentivizes violence against Jewish Israelis.  This program, which constitutes 8% of the P.A.’s budget, offers substantial monetary rewards to Palestinians who murder Israelis.  The more lethal the attack, the greater the financial reward to the terrorists’ families.  This practice, which costs the P.A. over $300 million annually, not only perpetuates violence, but also diminishes any prospects for peace in the region" . . .

The world must recognize that as long as the P.A. continues to reward terrorism, true peace will remain elusive.  It is imperative that the international community, led by the United States, demand an end to the “Pay for Slay” program.  This is not just about protecting Israeli lives; it is about upholding the principles of justice and human dignity.  The P.A.’s continued support for terrorism must be met with unwavering opposition from all who seek peace in the Middle East.

Be Prepared for Chaos

 Clarice Feldman - American Thinker

"I think I’m not far off the mark when I suggest that the Democrat-run institutions and cities, which regularly are tolerating, if not encouraging, violent demonstrations by demonstrably linked green, pro-Palestine, Antifa gangs, are setting the stage for November’s elections, with the federal government’s apparent connivance." 

"I suggest you start preparing for a great deal of left-wing civic violence, supply disruptions (including food shortages) and widespread urban chaos. I say this because it is my sense that the Democrats, deep state, and their media enablers are all in rough shape and have no other way out but to fall back on their usual criminal methods of retaining power.

"I find it impossible to believe that President Biden will be the Democrat nominee, and if he is, that he can win. What do the Democrats do? They certainly can’t substitute Kamala Harris for Biden; she’s tanked in opinion polls even lower and faster than has Biden. There are no nationally known non-geriatric substitutes in the wings, save for California governor Gavin Newsom, whose record for screwing up is at least as bad as Biden’s. Youth and a good haircut can only go so far outside Newsom’s home state. Even liberals are now conceding the West Coast has lost its way and become dysfunctional, and who is a better avatar of West Coast progressives than Newsom?

"In an opinion piece in the New York Times, Nicholas Kristof asks if they have lost their way. He decries the lack of sensible governance, arguing that good intentions aren’t enough and good governance has demonstrably been lacking: 

[M]y take is that the West Coast’s central problem is not so much that it’s unserious as that it’s infected with an ideological purity that is focused more on intentions than on oversight and outcomes. [snip] . . .

While Biden courts the rich, white Hollywood elites, Trump campaigns hard for Detroit's black voters

Monica Showalter - American Thinker

As for Biden, there's no broad swathe -- just he and his bubble of rich, elite, and very white, supporters. Who, again, is the candidate black and other voters of all colors can trust?

"While Trump is out there fighting and campaigning for the working people, the forgotten, the minorities, the constituencies taken for granted by Democrats as the entitlement class, Biden is out courting the rich Hollywood elite -- white, out of touch, and all about hiding behind their money, like Tom and Daisy Buchanan.

"Both are meeting them where they live -- but Trump is the only one willing to address broad numbers of people, in this case, black voters, in order to make his case to them.

"Biden campaigns instead among the carefully vetted, the people who have no Republicans among their friends, the people who live in leftist bubbles. You'll never see him campaigning among the hoi polloi, not in his current fragile state, though in the last campaign, when he was let out among them, he often ended up in arguments with them, insulting some.

"Not so, Trump, who lives and breathes with the pulse of the people and criticizes only the elites.

"Their presidencies show this, too -- Biden has made small numbers of special interest elites very rich -- from greenie boondogglerss, to COVID fund takers, to public employee union members and to open borders NGOs. In this case, they all were vetted first.

"Trump, on the other hand, made vast numbers of people rich, across the board, no vetting, prosperity reaching every corner. "I made money under the Trump administration," my on the fence cousin in a Michigan town told me last year. She didn't like him much, but she made money, so she was going to vote for him. She could not say the same for Biden. She was smart, but she was not among Biden's elites." . . .

MSNBC's Morning Joe Segment About Biden's Strong G7 Summit Gets Demolished by European Press

 Matt Vespa (townhall.com)

"If you watched this Morning Joe segment on MSNBC, you’d think no American president had ever had a successful outing with foreign leaders until Joe Biden was elected. The media and Democrats are engaging in a full-court press after capturing numerous videos of Biden looking aloof and wandering off. The president’s campaign went so far as to call the clips misinformation. Joe Scarborough echoed that sentiment, claiming the unflattering images of the president looking absolutely lost were “cheap fakes.” 

"There’s a problem with this pivot: the European media saw the same thing, and they were all over Biden’s cognitive decline. So, for all the shouting about how fit Biden is, the European press obliterated that talking point in less than a day:

"Everyone can see it. It’s not a secret, nor is it controversial. Eighty-six percent think Joe Biden is too old to run again. You don’t get a consensus like that if a healthy share of voters hasn’t seen that this man can’t do the job. Biden’s approvals are so terrible that FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver irritated liberals by suggesting that maybe Joe should quit the race.

Pedo Peter is the alleged nickname given to U.S. President Joe Biden by his son Hunter within the contact list and iMessages leaked during the Hunter Biden iPhone hack that happened on 4chan in July 2022. The nickname was thought to be Biden's because the President used to use the pseudonym Peter Henderson. It was also theorized to be a moniker for Naomi Biden's fiancée Peter Neal. Screenshots of the evidence surfaced first on 4chan and then spread to other social media like Twitter, causing controversy, speculation and conspiracy theories.

The last temptation of Merrick Garland

 Jonathan Turley (thehill.com)  

As it stands, few believe that will happen, despite Garland’s repeated line about transcending politics. It is not the mantra that is in doubt, but the man.

This week, Attorney General Merrick Garland took to the pages of the Washington Post to lash out at critics who are spreading what he considers “conspiracy theories crafted and spread for the purpose of undermining public trust in the judicial process itself.” His column, titled “Unfounded attacks on the Justice Department must end,” missed the point.

"It is Garland himself who has become the problem. The solution is in Wilmington, Delaware, where 12 average citizens just showed a commitment to the rule of law that seems to be harder and harder for the attorney general to meet.

"Since his appointment, Garland has repeated a mantra that he is apolitical and would never yield to the pressures of politics or the White House. When he was nominated, I believed that claim and enthusiastically supported Garland’s confirmation. He was, I thought, the perfect man for the job after his distinguished judicial service as a moderate judge.

"I was wrong. Garland’s tenure as attorney general has shown a pronounced reluctance to take steps that would threaten President Biden. He slow-walked the appointment of a special counsel investigating any Biden, and then excluded from the counsel’s scope any investigation of the massive influence peddling operation by Hunter Biden, his uncle and others.

"However, it is what has occurred in the last six months that has left some of us shaken, given our early faith in Garland." . . .

Building an Election Watchdog Army: RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump Announces New Program to Train 100,000 Poll Workers and 500 Lawyers to Safeguard 2024 Election in November

  The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft 

"In a groundbreaking announcement made last Friday in Detroit, Michigan, Lara Trump, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), revealed plans to build a formidable watchdog army. This force will be tasked with safeguarding the integrity of our elections this coming November.

" “Our other top priority is election integrity,” said Lara Trump. “If we don’t have free, fair, and transparent elections, nothing else matters. That is our goal at the RNC. Every single person in this country, regardless of how you vote, should want free and fair elections.”

"Joined by RNC Chairman Michael Watley, she detailed the plans to mobilize an ‘election watchdog army’ that will operate across the United States in November.

" '[Whatley and I started here in the state of Michigan, launching our election integrity program. What we want to do is train 100,000 people all across this country to be part of that team. Now, what does that mean? That means we want poll watchers, but not just that; we want poll workers. We have a unique opportunity right now that we have not had in 40 years as a party. For 40 years, there was a consent decree placed upon the RNC that did not allow us to train people to work as poll workers,” said Lara.

"The RNC’s plan also includes training individuals to work in tabulation centers where mail-in ballots are processed. They are seeking attorneys who can be present at every major polling location to proactively address any issues that arise.

"Lara called for any lawyers listening to join the effort, emphasizing that they do not have to be trained in election law. “We will train you on exactly what you need to be looking out for,” she said.

"The RNC has set up a website, protectthevote.com, for those interested in joining the team. The RNC will provide training in each state to equip team members with everything they need to know." . . .

Biden scraps attendance at Ukraine peace summit, heads to Los Angeles to raise campaign funds -- and Sabo is waiting for him

"For Joe Biden, it's panic hour.

"That's why he scrapped attendance at a Ukraine goo-goo summit in Europe, to head on out to Los Angeles for a star-studded fundraiser instead:

"According to Reuters:

June 15 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will attend a glitzy fundraiser in Los Angeles on Saturday with top Hollywood celebrities and former President Barack Obama that has raised $28 million, amid Democratic anxiety over opponent Donald Trump's growing fundraising clout.

Late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel will interview Biden and Obama and Hollywood celebrities George Clooney and Julia Roberts are guests, in the latest star-studded event Biden's campaign hopes shows strength and momentum despite Biden's low approval ratings and concerns about his age.

"Nothing is more important than that fundraiser. Biden even changed U.S. foreign policy in order to oppose, not support, sanctions on the International Criminal Court for attempting to arrest U.S. ally Binyamin Netanyahu, prime minister of Israel after George Clooney made a phone call, saying it would affect his wife, who helped write the orders.

 

"Clooney will be there to help raise funds, so favors repaid. Biden did Clooney 'a solid' so out comes the red carpet glamour and fawning.". . .

Is an electric vehicle collapse inevitable?

 Mike McDaniel - American Thinker

Hertz unloading its EV fleet has been much in the news. Americans have a nasty tendency not to buy, or even rent, vehicles they don’t trust and don’t want. And now, even General Motors is beginning to bow to reality: 

"Were one to listen to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, or Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, one might come away with the impression that electric vehicles (EVs) are so popular, the government’s intention of mostly replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with EVs by 2030 was a foregone conclusion. After all, the Mummified Meat Puppet Administration (MMPA) tells us they’ll build a half million fast chargers across America by then to handle the load, and they’ve allocated $7.5 billion we don’t have to that noble endeavor." ....

. . ."How is DEI—didn’t earn it—screwing things up?  At least 40% of the money has to go to “underserved communities,” which is brilliant because those are the communities least able to afford, or want, an EV, so they have no use for EV chargers."

Schiff Attacks Millions of Americans With Vile 'Deplorable' Statement, Trump Nails Him With Mic Drop

 RedState – Conservative News & Politics

"Russian Collusion Hoaxer @AdamSchiff says Americans who plan to vote for President Trump are part of an “immoral majority.”"

"There are few people in Congress more vile than the execrable Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA). 

"It's a true disgrace not only that he's still in office, but that he has the nerve to run for the Senate after all he did to spread the Russia collusion hoax.

"He's still at it. He was attacking former President Donald Trump over his Manhattan conviction because he was disturbed that people view the lawfare as political. Not only are they still going to vote for Trump, but Trump is generally leading Joe Biden in polls, even in places that have been blue for some time like Virginia and Minnesota, as my colleague Bob Hoge wrote about earlier. " . . .

“The party formally of the moral majority, is now, I suppose, trying to fashion some kind of immoral majority to reinstate Donald Trump as president,” he said in a rant.  

"Can we talk about what a scummy human being he is, that he talks about millions of Americans in such a fashion? Imagine him thinking he has any credibility at all to talk about morality, after how he has behaved. Sounds like a bit of projection, except they're not the majority. 

"And the Democrats wonder why they are losing ground with the American people. This is a redux of Hillary Clinton's "deplorables"  comment, which followed Barack Obama's "clinging to guns or religion" comment. Why would anyone vote for Democrats, when they treat Americans like this?  

"They do that because they have nothing to offer in the way of policy that is better to attract voters, so all they can do is try to attack the other side and whip up fear. They're truly desperate, and afraid that Biden is going to lose to Trump. 

"Oh, and how dare they vote for Trump and not Biden, that's "immoral" -- to Schiff. Some protecter of "democracy." They don't like when they get voted out of control. People are voting for Trump as they have every right to do, Adam, they're not "reinstating" him. 

"Normally, I'm not a fan of the personal attack. But in Schiff's case and given what has been done to Trump, I think this comment from Trump during his Dr. Phil interview last week describing Schiff is fitting. And if anything, it's restrained. It's also pretty darn funny, and it completely nails, most importantly, what an unattractive guy Schiff is on the inside, as a human being:" . . .

UPDATED, 6/16: Squad Member Makes Controversial Remarks at Terrorist-Linked Conference

  YouTube

"Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about the backlash to Rashida Tlaib’s controversial speech at the People’s Conference for Palestine, which was funded by the far-left People’s Forum and had speakers like Wisam Rafeedie, who has been linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which the U.S. has designated a foreign terrorist organization; Roua Daas speaking openly about how pro-Palestine college protests are being used to train students for violent revolution; a crop of new NYU grads describing their majors, unaware that they will face a lifetime of debt for some of the most useless degrees; a resurfaced clip of a 28-year-old Benjamin Netanyahu with some chilling observations on the Israel-Palestine conflict; Ilhan Omar and Cori Bush being forced to delete their tweets about Memorial Day, which exposed their ignorance of the actual meaning of the holiday; and much more. Dave also does a special “ask me anything” question-and-answer session on a wide-ranging host of topics, answering questions from the Rubin Report Locals community."

Now this is genocide:

UPDATE:  The truth of Hamas is in its charter (forward.com)  . . ."But Hamas has never changed its aspirations to wrest control of all of Israel by killing its Jews— a goal you will see clearly when you read the Hamas charter, as I did on Tuesday.

"The first version of the charter, adopted in 1988, begins with a preamble. Only instead of “We-the-People,” it reads: “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”

"The 36 articles that follow are buttressed by quotes from the Quran and lessons of the Prophet Muhammed … as interpreted by the militant Islamists of Hamas. 

"After establishing the primacy of Islam, the charter pivots to removing Jews from historic Palestine. “Nothing in nationalism is more significant or deeper than in the case when an enemy should tread Moslem land,” states Article 12.

"The charter’s description of Jews echoes millennia of antisemitic tropes." . . .

Ben Shapiro: Media's INSANE Reaction To Israel Hostage Rescue

With friends like Joe Biden, Israel needs no more enemies

Kanyi Ndewa | The Blogs (timesofisrael.com) 

That’s why the protests in Israel are directed to the government with the slogan “bring them home”. This clarion call diffuses pressure from Hamas, the UN and the international community and directs the same to the prime minister. Instead of trying to decimate the terrorists, UN and US are committed to regime change in Israel. 

"When President Joe Biden visited Israel after the October 7th massacre, everyone, many people thought that his visit was genuine gesture in solidarity with the only Jewish nation at its lowest and most painful moment since the holocaust. His presence in Israel, we thought, was to send a clear message of America’s unwavering commitment to the fight against terrorism as well as a signal to the US’s unequivocal support for its key strategic ally in the Middle East.

"However, in the heat of the moment many people didn’t scan the finer details hidden in president Biden’s statements which bore the hallmarks of betrayal and hesitation. When a rocket by Islamic Jihad misfired and hit al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza, strangely, president Biden initially believed in the Hamas propaganda blaming Israel for the bombing. It took a lot of explaining, including playing a recording of the terrorists admitting to the mishap to convince him otherwise. During a press conference thereafter, Joe Biden stated that he has learnt that the rocket which hit the hospital was fired by “the other team”!!! The other team? How do one refer to mass murderers as a team?

"In his assumed referee status, Joe Biden even tried to prevent Israel from responding when Iran fired more than 300 rockets, missiles and drones at Israel. According to him, Israel should have declared victory merely because the airstrike was successfully defended! Upside down logic!!

"Biden’s re-election ambitions have made the US to, for the first time betray Israel at UN by abstaining from Security Council resolution calling for unilateral ceasefire without conditioning the same to the release of the hostages. During president Biden’s state of the nation address, the hostages and the fate of over a hundred thousand Israelis displaced from Northern Israel and the border with Gaza did not even appear as footnotes. It was all about humanitarian situation in Gaza, aid drops and building a floating harbour for Gaza Arabs." . . .
