Joe's world is a bit rocky right now

Joe Biden has blown up the world - Patricia McCarthy

. . ."As students in formerly elite universities across the country are marching for Hamas, the terrorists who raped, burned, and cut up fourteen hundred Jewish citizens of Israel, Americans are being shocked into the reality of what has become of higher education in America.  They are teaching hatred of this nation, of Jews, and have lost any semblance of a moral core.  These thousands of students have become good little Maoists, who would turn on their own parents if they opposed the government narrative they themselves have swallowed hook, line, and sinker.". . .

"Biden is an angry man, a stupid man, an arrogant man, and a little man.  He was never a good senator.  He is a racist; he relished humiliating Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearing.  He constantly makes up things that he’s done or accomplished when those claims are easily checked.  He lies repeatedly about how and where his son Beau died.  He has tried for years to make us believe he is good, smart, and legitimate, but he is none of those things.  He has brought the United States to a historic low — the brink of another world war.  He’s blown up the world.

The Nation Owes Matt Gaetz A Hearty Thank You, especially from the squish Republicans.

  Issues & Insights

Whatever one might think of his ethics and demeanor, the actions of the allegedly slimy Gaetz have been fully vindicated. In place of the spineless, soulless, uniparty-associated, donor-class-beholden McCarthy, the chair of Washington’s third-ranking official is now occupied by a movement and, yes, MAGA conservative who on issue after issue, stands tall and unbending on his principles.

"The best (if unintended) endorsement for the most lopsided deal since the Yankees acquired Babe Ruth for a paltry $125,000 came not from a pundit nor a party colleague, but from the opposition (albeit punctuated by a partisan). Per the Wall Street Journal:

Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said … Republicans were choosing a person [Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson for Speaker] who ‘can pass their extreme litmus test to oppose marriage equality, enact a nationwide abortion ban without exceptions, gut Social Security and Medicare, support overturning a free and fair election.’

Aguilar said Johnson had been called ‘the most important architect of the electoral college objections,” and a Republican member shouted “d@#n right.‘

"Those among the estimated 335,633,214 Americans (at this writing) who are sufficiently sentient should all be signing a coast-to-coast-sized thank-you card for reviled Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz.

"Gaetz has been hammered for three solid weeks as the “most-hated” GOP member in Congress, who plunged the House into “chaos,” for engineering the coup that cast aside limp-wristed Speaker Kevin “Fredo Corleone” McCarthy.

"You’ll recall this commentator fingered McCarthy back in January for “project(ing) hesitancy, moderation, and self-focus when intense, inspirational passion for the conservative cause is the order of the day.” And more recently for “betray(ing) the conservative wing that allowed him to take power by depending on squish Republicans and a unanimous vote of his opposition to pass a 45-day clean continuing resolution keeping federal funding at its outrageously bloated fiscal 2023 levels.” . . .

Biden's Impossible Demand -

 

CarolineGlick.com  "In nearly every statement and speech U.S. President Joe Biden gave during his brief sojourn in Tel Aviv, he insisted that Hamas does not represent the Palestinians and that the Palestinian Authority is their true representative. The P.A., the president insisted, does not share Hamas’s goal of eradicating the Jewish state and the Jewish people. Biden foresees a future where the P.A. is in charge of the Gaza Strip, and Israel agrees to a Palestinian state in Gaza, as well as in Judea and Samaria.

"On Friday morning, the P.A. provided guidance to its mosque preachers ahead of its weekly services. They were told to declare war on Israel and join the jihad whose goal is the annihilation of the Jewish state and people.

"As HaKol HaYehudi news service and Regavim’s research department revealed in a joint release, the P.A.’s guidance read: “We call upon our Palestinian people: The preservation of public and personal property is a religious and moral national duty … our Palestinian people … cannot raise a white flag until the occupation [aka Israel] is removed and the independent Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital.”

"The guidance continued with the passage from the Islamic hadith that calls for genocide of the Jewish people.

“The time will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, until the Jew hides behind the stones and the trees and the stones or the trees say, ‘O Muslim, O Servant of God, this is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him.” . . .

As Biden turns against Israel, Netanyahu must stand strong - Caroline Glick  . . ."If Netanyahu stands up to the United States, he may face a renewal of the violent protests against him and his government. If it happens, the goal of the operatives organizing the protests will be to undermine morale in a time of war. Judging by media coverage to date, the rioters will be supported by nearly every media organ in the country.

"On the other hand, if he stands up to Biden, Netanyahu will give the soldiers and commanders of the IDF the opportunity to fight this war to victory and secure Israel for the next many years.

"If Netanyahu fails to stand up to the United States, if he buckles, the pressure from Washington won’t stop. By buckling, he will merely whet the appetites of the likes of U.S. envoy to the Palestinians Hady Amr—who has a public record of supporting Hamas (and worked in Doha, Qatar during the Trump years). Amr and his colleagues will pocket Israel’s first concession and demand more, and more, and more, in coordination with Hamas, the PLO, Qatar and Egypt." . . .

"Following the war, Netanyahu will be pushed out of office, his legacy in tatters forever. The Israel he will leave behind will be one where Jewish sovereignty will be placed in doubt for the first time in 75 years. Now is no time to go wobbly.

The dysfunctional party of incompetence carries the doom of America

House Overwhelmingly Passed Resolution in Support of Israel, With These Glaring 'No' Votes (townhall.com)

. . ."When it comes to a call to end the violence, the resolution correctly refers to Hamas as the responsible party, as it "calls on Hamas to immediately cease these violent attacks and safely release all living hostages and return the bodies of deceased hostages."

"All but one of the votes in opposition came from Democrats, including members of the Squad like Reps. Rashida Tlaib (MI), Ilhan Omar (MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Cori Bush (MO), Jamaal Bowman (NY), and Summer Lee (PA). Others included fellow progressive Reps. Andre Carson (IN), Al Green (TX), and Delia Ramirez (IL).

"Of those members who explained why they voted the way they did, many felt it didn't do enough to satisfy their "both sides" argument, even equating Israel and Hamas As has been the case for much of this conflict, Tlaib's take has stood out as the most glaring." . . . 

 Democrats Are Showing You Who They Are, Believe Them (townhall.com)

I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn’t 1938; then, I had to check the books I owned to make sure they weren’t actually written in German. Once I confirmed it is 2023 and I live in the United States of America, I was left only to shake my head in disgust at what Democrats have exposed themselves to be.

Make no mistake, I never really thought they were great people. The party of slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation isn’t suddenly going to pull a 180 and not be monsters; it’s who they are. They’ve never changed their objectives, only their tactics. Now, their embrace of segregation is done in the name of tolerance, of providing a “safe space” to minorities. But make no mistake, the end result is the same.

That’s the thing about the left – they’ll happily tell you who they are and the horrible things they hold dear; all you have to do is believe them. 

The terrorist attack in Israel two weeks ago brought out the worst in the left, but it’s also their true self. You can’t cheer for the wholesale murder of innocent people and “really be a good person, deep down.” No, that’s not how it works. It’s the opposite – they are raging bigots and monsters who manage to tamp it down below the surface most of the time until there’s something to protest or celebrate. It’s really that simple. 

I’m not Jewish, and I’m disgusted. I can only imagine the sense of betrayal and horror Jews feel, as friends, neighbors, and colleagues felt so compelled to defend the murderers of Jews, for the express reason that they were Jewish, 24 hours after the attack. The Democratic Socialists of America, who count Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jamaal Bowman, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, and pretty must every other Nazi scum “progressive” among their ranks and supporter, marched in support of Hamas in New York City, the next day, before there was anywhere near an accurate body count, let alone an understanding of the scale of the evil. They didn’t march against Israel; they marched in favor of Hamas, literally celebrating the paragliders in the posters promoting it." . . .

Israel is calling for the resignation of the United Nations secretary-general, António Guterres, for comments he made defending Hamas’s brutal attacks on Israel.  "As our Benny Avni reports, he enumerated hardships inflicted on Palestinian Arabs. His remarks smacked of attempts by enemies of the Jews to suggest that the Jews deserved the Holocaust."

Diversity Means Divide and Conquer

Obviously, America must dump divide-and-conquer diversity and return to the pursuit of excellence – especially of individual moral character – as well as to President Kennedy’s call to service. Those are truly benign anchors of a good and healthy country. 

  American Greatness (amgreatness.com)    "By now, everyone should have noticed how ubiquitous the word “diversity” is, often alongside partner terms such as “equity“ and “inclusion,“ making the acronym “DEI.”

"Though “diversity” sounds benign and technically only means varied, different or differentiated, its modern usage appears to mean more. How much more may be the difference between something benign and something malignant.

"Given these polar opposites, scrutiny of the term is in order.

"The ubiquity of the word is itself suspicious. Upon reflection, incessant talk and advocacy of diversity is odd, since real diversity exists without any of that. Novice gardeners, for example, can barely count the varieties of tomatoes or the different kinds of trees. Humankind itself consists of billions of individuals, no one of whom is like the other.

"So the world has diversity without anyone even trying. Advocating diversity, or hiring diversity officials, therefore, is a little like lobbying for gravity. Huh? Gravity pulls everything to the ground on its own.  No lobby required.

"Worse, if diversity already exists but officials are hired to promote it, they will of course begin promoting something else just to have something to do.

"Add to this that a lot of diversity talk is dishonest. America has heard for years that “diversity is our strength” and in 1978 the United States Supreme Court began suggesting that “diversity” was a constitutional value on par with the presumption of innocence, due process or free expression.

"But the word “diversity” appears neither in the United States Constitution nor in the Declaration of Independence, America’s foundational documents." . . .

Hey, I Finally Found Those Nazis! –

. . ."But then came the Hamas Terror Invasion of Israel on October 7-8, and I figured that would have Nazis popping up all over the place. Nothing quite gets that National Socialist blood pumping like the slaughter, rape, desecration, and forcible removal of Jews, right?

Sure enough, since October 7 it’s been easy to find Nazis everywhere — and you don’t even have to squint. I found some last night at that bastion of right-wing nastiness called George Washington University." . . .George Washington University - students are projecting horrifying messages onto a school library building glorifying Hamas terrorists that beheaded babies, raped teenage girls, and murdered 1400+ people.

"Over the weekend, Hamas cheerleader NBC News reported that President Biden’s full-throated support for Israel after the October 7 terrorist attacks has put him at odds with Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan who are none too happy that the guy they voted for in 2020 is siding with America’s ally rather than the Iranian-backed terrorists who slaughtered its people.

Here Michigan Muslims helped elect Joe Biden, and he turns around and betrays them by condemning the side that butchered whole families, including children and the elderly, set them on fire, and chopped off their body parts." . . .

. . ."What made my jaw hit the floor, however, was the message accompanying the image:

As Americans, we must come together and reject Islamophobia and all forms of bigotry and hatred.

I have said repeatedly that I will not be silent in the face of hate.

We must be unequivocal: There is no place in America for hate against anyone.

"Islamophobia gets top billing while antisemitism gets relegated to the generic “all forms of bigotry and hatred?” Really?" . . .

** This comes after Israel released 40 minutes of recorded atrocities to reporters in Tel Aviv on Monday.

"Israel on Monday screened for some 200 foreign journalists 43 minutes of shocking crimes committed by Hamas savages during their October 7 onslaught on southern Israel, in which over 1,400 people were killed. Some of the presentation includes never-before-seen footage.

"They decided to release this screening to counteract a “Holocaust-denial” phenomenon which is starting to permeate across the globe."

BREAKING: Republican Mike Johnson Elected Speaker of the House –

RedState  

It was a positive sign that a resolution was in sight when Trump threw his support behind Johnson,

 "The long wait for a new Speaker of the House is finally over, with Republican Mike Johnson of Louisiana managing to accrue 220 votes, surpassing the dreaded 217 number that eluded Jim Jordan (R-OH). Votes fell strictly along party lines, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) garnering 209 votes. Jeffries now has the dubious honor of losing 19 straight speaker elections, having previously gone up against Kevin McCarthy and Jordan." . . 

. . ."It has been a chaotic 22 days since Kevin McCarthy was ousted as speaker by the "MAGA wing" of House Republicans. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Jim Jordan were early frontrunners to replace McCarthy, but Scalise bowed out early, and Jordan failed to win over a significant portion of the House GOP conference.

"As recently as Tuesday afternoon, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) was the Republican's speaker designee, an accolade that lasted around four hours and 10 minutes. Donald Trump made it clear that he was no fan of Emmer's, meaning things were back where they started with a disgruntled "MAGA wing." Emmer withdrew by Tuesday afternoon, and Johnson became the designee by Tuesday night." . . .

"So, why Mike Johnson? RedState's Joe Cunningham had some thoughts:

One of the things that worked in Johnson's favor, however, is the fact that while he was once the Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, he is not a member of the House Freedom Caucus. Any affiliation with that group would likely have tanked his bid for Speaker, considering the strong feelings most of the more moderate wing has about Jim Jordan and how just about everyone seems to have about Matt Gaetz. Byron Donalds, also of the HFC, could not get further in his bid for Speaker due to that (as well as his relative inexperience).

Staple a Green Card to Their ‘Kill the Jews’ Signs

 Ann Coulter

Sorry to roll my eyes, but where have they been? The gleeful cheering for the mass murder of Israelis is only the latest expression of hate by inferior cultures toward the superior culture of the West — of which the donors are a shining example.

"In last week’s column, we noted the popularity of Hamas terrorists with BLM representatives. This week, we’ll consider the other main contingent of Hamas Boosters: foreigners, who, for reasons I can’t understand, are in my country.

"In the past few weeks, Muslims and Arabs have poured into the streets in nearly every U.S. city to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis, while wearing scarves, keffiyehs and other clown outfits, waving the flags of Palestine, Egypt, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Yemen, Turkey, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and on and on.

"It’s so obvious that these people don’t belong here that the immediate reaction of a number of politicians was to demand that their visas be revoked. (Nobody looked at anti-war protests in the ’60s and said, Revoke their visas!)

"Question: Why are we importing millions of people from lesser cultures who will inevitably despise and resent the West for its very success?

"This isn’t the old They hate us for our freedoms! Rather, it is simply an acknowledgment of the fact that the most common and destructive human emotion is jealousy. People will brag about being gluttons, prideful, greedy, angry, lustful and lazy. The only venal sin no one will cop to is envy. That’s how insidious it is.

"Consider the “open letter” from 33 Harvard student groups blaming Israelis for their own slaughter. In addition to about a dozen Muslim and Arab groups, the letter was signed by clubs for immigrants from various locales notable for their high levels of corruption and leprosy (e.g., Bangladesh, Nepal, Bengal and South Asia).

"You think Harvard had a problem with the “Bengali Association of Students” before the 1965 Immigration Act?" . . .

LISTEN: Hamas Terrorist Calls Parents, Brags About Killing 10 Jews

 Hamas Terrorists Found with Instructions to Decapitate Jews and Remove Hearts, Livers (breitbart.com) 

Obama Criticizes Israel over Gaza: 'Don't Harden Palestinian Attitudes for Generations' (breitbart.com)  How silly can this man be?

 Israel’s Government Press Office set out the contents of the note in a statement, saying:

Note found on Hamas terrorist: “Know that this enemy of yours is a disease that has no cure, other than beheading and extracting the hearts and livers!”

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and carried out a massacre in communities in southern Israel. A handwritten note was found on one of the terrorists which was given to him before the invasion.

The words from Hamas commanders consist of an order to kill Jews and encouragement to decapitate their victims and tear out their hearts and livers.

Please find attached a copy of the note in the original Arabic.

More than 1,400 Israelis have been killed since the first attack began, with some 220 people also kidnapped and held hostage by Hamas terrorists and their allies in the Gaza Strip.

Forensic evidence of the victims’ bodies and video footage captured by terrorists have shown that Israeli women and children were raped and beheaded while others were dismembered.

The war between Israel and Hamas, which began with the Oct. 7 attack, is now in its third week." . . .

AP Stylebook Suggests Hamas Not Be Called ‘Terrorists,’ Though Term Is Fine for Republicans – RedState . . ."What makes all of this linguistic cowardice more pathetic are two realities. The first is that our own government recognizes Hamas as (gird yourself here, AP), a terrorist organization. This is not a recent development. The State Department has listed them as such since 1997. The Associated Press knows this to be the case, as it was mentioned in an explainer the group the news syndicate published -- just this month.

"The other detail worth noting is just how freely the term “terrorist” is tossed around in the press when it comes to Republicans. Funny, the political party has been declared by the press as not worthy of having both-sides coverage due to election denialism and similar actions, but they need to be sure that a murderous group torching infants needs to have its side of the story told. 

"Just days after the gruesome attacks killed at least 1,400 Israeli citizens the same press corps was repeating the claim with energy that Representative Jim Jordan was a “legislative terrorist”. (The source? The AP!) While MSNBC is hesitant to go there with the terrorism charge, look at how regular FBI expert guest Frank Figliuzzi has dropped the term to describe various Republicans."  . . .

Biden's Global Chaos Vindicates Trump's Strong Foreign Policy

 The Federalist  Unlike Trump, Biden is not shaping global events so much as he is reacting to them.

Unlike Trump, Biden is not shaping global events so much as he is reacting to them. So when their approaches are presented side-by-side, it becomes clear why Obama’s Secretary of Defense Bob Gates famously said Biden “has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” 

"The Middle East is on fire. Eastern Europe is gridlocked in war. America’s southern border looks like a scene out of “Mad Max.” And Southeast Asia is a tinderbox that could ignite with one wrong move. After four years of expanding peace under President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden is presiding over a world careening toward mayhem. “Mean tweets and world peace” has a nice ring to it. But it’s also worth exploring why Trump’s unorthodox approach to foreign affairs produced such markedly better results than Biden’s heralded return to normalcy.

"The current state of the Middle East — where most recently on Biden’s watch, Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, slaughtered civilians, and even took American citizens hostage — is a case study in the contrast between the two presidents.
