The Hamas men who did this act need all the help Democrats can give them. TD
"The Senate failed to advance resolutions of disapproval brought by progressive members to block the sale of certain offensive U.S. weaponry to Israel.
"The result was expected, but the vote sent a signal that opposing military aid to a longstanding ally is no longer a fringe position in the Democratic Party. More than a third of the Democratic senators voted to block arms to Israel a year after the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack on the Jewish state.
"Wednesday’s vote was the first of its kind in Congress and the only legislative remedy available to senators opposed to the Biden administration’s efforts to sell $20 billion in military aid to Israel over concerns its counterattack has gone too far and created a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
"Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Peter Welch (D-VT), and Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) sponsored a trio of resolutions, which were privileged, allowing them to force the votes without the consent of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
"The resolutions were to block the sale of 120-millimeter mortar rounds, joint direct attack munitions (JDAMs) also known as bomb guidance kits, and the sale of tank rounds.
"The first resolution, S.J. Res. 111, to block the sale of tank rounds failed 18-79, with the majority of Democrats joining all Republicans in voting no. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) voted present.
"Eighteen Democrats voted in support, including the sponsors of the resolutions and Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Angus King (I-ME), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Ed Markey (D-MA), Tina Smith (D-MN), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), and Chris Murphy (D-CT)." . . .

Muslim voters who helped elect Trump upset with ‘pro-Israel’ and ‘pro-war’ cabinet picks "PBS Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, nominated for secretary of state, has opposed a ceasefire in the war, stating that he wants Israel to “destroy every element of Hamas they can get their hands on.”
Perhaps Sharon Stone will have a righteous pronouncement on the following:
"What all that means is that the Biden-Harris administration has been using taxpayer dollars and has been providing the worst evil known to civilized society: open access to the most vulnerable in our midst—the unaccompanied (and unprotected) children who are crossing our borders."
"Since the election, the incoming administration’s rapid-fire announcements of Cabinet member nominations, along with the various nominations to head numerous positions and agencies, have captured the nation’s attention and triggered Trump’s opponents to fits of rage. I must confess there has been an element of entertainment to it all, watching our liberal/progressive/leftist neighbors get all twisted up. However, hiding behind the nominations are equally important stories that explain why Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party lost the election so badly.
"Each the following information has been a catalyst and a springboard for me and has incited within me a deeply visceral motivation. I will no longer be quiet about my support for Donald J. Trump. Moreover, I will remain silent no longer about my joy in witnessing the Democrats’ electoral loss and disgrace." . . .

" Hold the bus, Jimbo. Just a One Problem" Actually, several problems. First, "all their healthcare" is not going to become "illegal."
"Second, people who decide not to have children -- not to raise a family -- because they don't like the politics of Trump, or any politician? That says far more about about such people than it does about Donald Trump.
"Third, at no point has Donald Trump or any Republican suggested that vasectomies should be illegal. If I'm wrong, Jimmy, show me the receipts. I'll wait.

HOW AWKWARD: CNN and MSNBC Just Got Beaten in the Ratings by… The Hallmark Channel
"How bad are things at CNN and MSNBC? So bad that they were both recently beaten in ratings by the Hallmark Channel. We are just three weeks off of one of the most contentious and historic presidential elections in recent history and more people are watching the Hallmark Channel than the supposed journalists and political analysts of CNN or MSNBC. One has to wonder how CNN justifies Anderson Cooper’s $20 million dollar salary when people would rather watch Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story."
Donald Trump is considering giving the likes of Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly a seat in the White House press briefing room instead of mainstream media journalists in a plot that will 'blow up some heads'.
"The stunning plan was revealed by the president-elect's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. on a recent episode of his podcast 'Triggered with Donald Trump Jr.'
"Speaking to his co-host Michael Knowles, Jr. admitted that the incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt may rework the briefing room seating arrangement to make way for Trump's new podcast 'bro' buddies.
" 'I wonder now, as your father is assembling his team, as maybe Karoline Leavitt is looking at the new press briefing room chart, maybe it's time to reorder that chart and maybe take away some people's seats,' Knowles inquired.
"The future president's son quickly shot back: 'We're gonna break some news here.'
" 'I literally had this conversation with—I was flying back, I was on the plane with my father, I think it was coming back from the SpaceX launch with Elon [Musk] last week,' Jr. said.
" 'And we were talking about the podcast world and some of our friends and Rogan and guys like you.'
"Then the 46-year-old Trump revealed the podcaster plan was met with great enthusiasm, 'That's a great idea, Don.' . . .
"Those two questions are very important. The Democrats may have failed to interfere with the election and keep Trump off the ballot by perverting the law, but that doesn't mean they've lost the appetite for getting crooked judges and prosecutors to go after him — well, judges and prosecutors who aren't employed by the Department of Justice, anyway. Smith and his crew are getting out of Dodge because they know that new sheriff Pam Bondi will not be a fan of theirs."
. . ."Victoria writes that we need to find a way to "stop this weaponization of the law to change elections, deprive people of their liberty, run information operations to lie to the American people, and try to bankrupt innocent people." I didn't vote for Trump this year just to see a revenge tour but, as Victoria points out, discouraging the lawfare insanity isn't about revenge.
"Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing Trump get some kind of revenge. Yes, he's got a lot of work ahead of him to fix the damage that Biden has done, but there are a lot of bad people running around on the Democratic side of the aisle in the Swamp and they shouldn't be allowed to feel comfortable after what they've been up to the last four years.
"We live in an age when politicians and the people who do their dirty work not only get away with doing bad things but are rewarded for them and often fail upward. Heck, that practically describes every Democrat in Washington. It's time for a correction. If the Trump 47 administration is able to take a hatchet to the federal bureaucracy, it would reintroduce some people to the concept of consequences.
"For the moment, we will all just have to get delight from the knowledge that Jack Smith will be slinking out of the Justice Department having failed to stop the Trump Train."

"The United Nations has never stopped a genocide; how rarely they ever tried to bring the evil perpetrators to justice. They have just done one thing well, namely, legalize antisemitism, legalize antiZionism.
"Dear President Trump: Please, please, oh pretty please--pull America out of the United Nations. Tell them to take their hypocrisy, incompetence, corruption, and Jew-hatred, to the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland or to the golden deserts of Qatar. Maybe they can house their headquarters more appropriately in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Let the anti-Western, anti-Israel, and anti-democracy tyrannies pay their own way. Perhaps Europe can either increase their funding for the UN--or pull out as well.
"I can think of many better uses for the 17-18 acres in the luxe Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, right on the East River, that the UN headquarters currently occupies. I bet you can too.
"I know that the UN is a colorful place that draws many good woman(sp) of many colors, who are often wearing colorful, native dress. Women come there because they hope to meet others good women like themselves, or in the hope of finding employment. These are the members of NGOs which have absolutely no power whatsoever. But coming to Manhattan and speaking there looks good on their resumes, and it is also a way for them to mix it up with glamorized folk, get invited to yet another conference, impress their families.
"Oh, what a good idea the UN once was! Read Australian-American, Shirley Hazzard, on how it had already failed its mission by the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Read her excellent short stories, based on her time as a clerical employee at the UN ("People in Glass Houses), and her superb non-fiction titles about the UN: "Defeat of an Ideal" (1973) and "Countenance of Truth" (1990).
"I once also worked at the UN and saw, with my own naked eyeball, the sexual harassment and rape that was rampant among some high-ranking employers; how they also treated their home country servants as slaves; how much they spent on perks for themselves; and, with some exceptions, how dreadfully pompous, arrogant, and conformist many of the diplomats really were, and how cowed their employees had to be.
"The United Nations has never stopped a genocide; how rarely they ever tried to bring the evil perpetrators to justice. They have just done one thing well, namely, legalize antisemitism, legalize antiZionism. They lack the power to enforce a Western view of woman's humanity, on non-Western or even on Western countries with a large Muslim and/or tribal population.
"The International Criminal Court is a proxy of the UN. In issuing arrest warrants for the Israeli Prime Minister and former Minister of Defense only, but no such warrants for a single genocidal terrorist or for their paymaster, Iran, Douglas Murray explains what they've really done. He writes: "It is like a foreign judge at the end of World War II saying that since the Nazi leaders were all dead he really ought to issue arrests warrants for Harry Truman and Winston Churchill--the other guys being otherwise engaged. After all, didn't FDR, Truman, Churchill and others end up having to kill people in their pursuit of victory in a war started by their enemies?"

"To be sure, the media isn’t entirely responsible for the sad state of our representative republic, but their contribution to our current tribulations is enormous and destructive."
Normally, the media is pretty much invulnerable to lawsuits for their reckless, D/s/c opinions badly disguised as news, but amazingly, Tapper and CNN face a defamation suit brought by Navy veteran Zachary young. Tapper’s false claims about Young and his efforts to rescue innocents from Joe Biden’s Afghanistan debacle obliterated Young’s private security career. The suit has been allowed to proceed, and is in the deposition stage. Tapper and CNN are stonewalling: . . .
No matter who President Trump picks, the media and other Democrats seek to trash and besmirch their character and name. If they succeed in taking down one, they just move on to the next target. Trump is obviously (personally and painfully) aware that Democrats are the party of personal destruction.
. . ." Basically, the media and other Democrats have had the goal to destroy Trump for nine years. They clearly don’t care about the best interest of America, and that couldn’t be more obvious."
“There’s a sense that we tried to jam Vice President Harris down voters’ throats instead of hold an open primary,” one official said. “This certainly wouldn’t make that feeling go away.”

"Both before the November 5 presidential election and after, there’s been plenty of talk about President Joe Biden stepping down and making Vice President Kamala Harris America’s first female president. Despite ardent backing from Democratic Party stalwarts, the idea isn’t a popular one, as the latest I&I/TIPP poll indicates.
“Which of the following do you believe is in the best interest of the country?”, followed by these choices: “Biden should finish his term,” “Biden should step down and hand over the presidency to Harris,” “Biden should be removed from office using the 25th amendment,” and “Not sure.”
"The poll, taken from Nov. 7 to Nov. 8, has a margin of error of +/-2.6 percentage points.
"A majority of Americans — 54% — say they do not want Biden to leave office, they want him to finish his term.
"And only 16% say he should voluntarily step down and let Harris become president.
"For the first time since we started asking this question, more than half of all voters want Biden to finish the 10 weeks remaining in his term." . . .
