Biden should go back to supporting Israel in full force -

 Farley Weiss- JNS.org

. . ."However, as Reform Rabbi Maurice Hirsch recently said, and as a Sienna poll recently found, the Biden administration is likely losing massive Jewish support as a result of its criticisms of Israel." . . .

"Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu formed a unity government on Oct. 12—just five days after the terrorist attacks in southern Israel by Hamas—and no longer is the Israeli government a so-called “narrow right-wing government.” Despite that fact, the Biden administration has made clear its goal to have the democratically elected prime minister removed from office. 

"Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s recent speech, which included a public call for Netanyahu’s ouster, was praised by U.S. President Joe Biden. However, the Biden administration concoction that the problem of Israel is some right-wing government is patently false because the current decision-making is being made by a three-man group, of which one of the members—Benny Gantz—is the current head of what polls show is the leading opposition party. The other two are Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. 

"Ridiculously, this push for Netanyahu to step down or call for new elections was reiterated by David Horovitz, editor of The Times of Israel, and Bret Stephens, a The New York Times columnist, even though a unity government is currently in place. It is noteworthy that both the Biden administration and Schumer’s preoccupation with criticizing National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is also coming at a time when neither man is a member of the War Cabinet that has been making key decisions over the past six months for the government of Israel.

"The criticisms the Biden administration has made against Netanyahu were over policies that were not only adopted by the unity government but were also consensus positions in Israel. For example, the Biden foreign-policy team has complained publicly that it wanted Netanyahu to make more concessions in hostage negotiations (namely, to free many more mass murderers of Jews in exchange for Israeli grandfathers and women taken captive on Oct. 7 and dragged back into Gaza). When Netanyahu finally acquiesced, Hamas still said no." . . .

MSNBC Host Joy Reid Suggests Trump Trials Are A 'Poetic' Racial Reckoning:

 “Every night [Joy Reid] spews hatred against white people,” she wrote. “Who knows what pathology drives her, but it’s not healthy, for her or any of her dwindling audience. Shame on MSNBC for elevating such a hate-filled racist to prime time. She has zero charisma….But for some unfathomable reason, she has Teflon protection at the network, even after being caught with homophobic and anti-Semitic comments on her blog." Miranda Devine

'My DEIs Are Bringing It Home' (resistthemainstream.com)

Watch MSNBC with Joe Scarborough, Nicolle Wallace, and the "race lady" Joy Reid to get daily doses of "Jim Crow".

MSNBC host Joy Reid suggested that the criminal trials against former President Donald Trump represented a form of racial reckoning, indicating that the “DEIs” were “bringing it home.”

"X users swiftly pushed back on Reid’s comments, dubbing her a “race baiter.”

Joy Reid suggests that the criminal cases brought against Trump is racially-based vengeance by black officials:

"Reid made these comments on Monday, coinciding with the commencement of the New York hush-money trial.

"She expressed admiration for the symbolism of seeing black public officials such as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis taking the lead in prosecuting Trump.

“But for me, there is something wonderfully poetic about the fact … the first person to actually criminally prosecute Donald Trump is a black Harvard grad,” Reid said."

I thought we were supposed to reject racism. What is MSNBC's stand on racism? Never mind; we know. TD

No Mainstream 'Journalist' Is More Racist Than MSNBC's Joy Reid – PJ Media

Losers And Suckers

 Steve Krakauer

"Be skeptical of the "losers and suckers" consensus narrative - and others like it when it comes to Trump and the press"

Does the media really have a dearth of unimpeachable direct hits on Trump that it has to stoop to this nonsense? Surely not! And yet — they never seem to miss an opportunity to be exposed as the losers and suckers who keep falling into the trap of emotion over facts, laziness over nuance.

"On Wednesday afternoon, Joy Behar was on “The View” talking about how former President Donald Trump “called American military members who died in wars ‘losers and suckers.’” The next night, “The Daily Show” co-host Desi Lydic made an almost identical comment. It was the same a few weeks ago on MSNBC, when Nicolle Wallace mentioned that phrase too, in a similar context, as part of one of her lengthy anti-Trump screeds.

"The “loser and suckers” line has been around for years — and I’ll trace the genesis of it below. It has become simply conventional wisdom of the consensus elite at this point — just a bullet point for the corporate press when listing the long litany of Trump’s worst moments. Right up there with “very fine people” and “inject bleach” — which is actually the point. Those phrases that have become ubiquitous when those on the political or journalistic left are looking to highlight the severity of Trump’s evil… are actually outright false. The “losers and suckers” line exists in maybe a bit more of a gray area — a blend between innuendo and urban legend, perhaps. But certainly not something that rises to the level of “factual.”

"And it’s important to dig into the circumstances of this phrase, because we know this will become a major talking point as we approach the final seven months ahead of Election Day this year. It has been a part of President Biden’s usual campaign speeches, when he makes them. And “Doctor” Jill Biden has repeated the line too.

"But it’s not just the repeating of the line that has become a point pushed by the Biden campaign — and, by extension, the Acela Media. It is the insinuation that this phrase uttered by Trump had been “confirmed.” That’s the framing pushed by the Biden campaign’s active X campaign last month — which was republished by a prominent #Resistance account, and reposted by MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough: . . ."

Unpacking Biden's Claim that Trump Called US Soldiers 'Suckers' and 'Losers'    . . ."Trump Allies Deny the Claims"

"The White House blamed the canceled cemetery visit on poor weather. Responding to The Atlantic's reporting, Trump said the accusation was "a disgraceful situation" by a "terrible magazine."

"Trump strongly denied calling fallen soldiers "losers" and "suckers." Speaking to reporters on Sept. 3, 2020, upon returning from a campaign rally to Washington, D.C., just after the report came out, Trump said: "I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes. There is nobody that respects them more. No animal — nobody — what animal would say such a thing?"

"Just days later, Zach Fuentes, a former White House aide who left the administration in early 2019 and was with the president on the Paris trip and presumably near him during the in-question conversations about the cemetery visit, stood up for Trump in an interview with Breitbart." . . .

Sexual violence: New details about hostages life in Hamas captivity

 Kim Hjelmgaard (usatoday.com) 

 'We know they were raped in Hamas captivity': Chilling details of what hostages faced.

Naama Levy before Hamas

"Handcuffed and dazed, she struggles to exit the trunk of the Jeep. She's barefoot and limping. She's bleeding near her temple. Her ankle is cut.

"Her gray sweatpants are bloodied. At gunpoint, she is dragged by her long brown hair into the vehicle. A crowd looks on. The car speeds off.

"That is the last time, captured in a video taken on Oct. 7, that Naama Levy, 19, was seen alive. She is among 17 female hostages ages 18 to 26 still held by Hamas somewhere in Gaza.

"Their families fear the worst.

"Time is running out for Naama," said Levy's mother, Ayelet Levy Shachar. "Time is running out for the vulnerable young women being held hostage at the hands of those who torture and abuse them." 

Naama Levy with Hamas, her smile erased, perhaps forever.

"Shachar was referring to the mounting evidence of rape, sexual violence and mutilation of women and men during the Hamas attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7.

"But sexual assault appears not to have been confined to Oct. 7. Two Israeli doctors, who have been treating released hostages, and an Israeli military official familiar with the matter confirmed to USA TODAY that some released hostages revealed they suffered violent sexual assaults in captivity.

"All three spoke on the condition of anonymity.

"One of the doctors assessed that "many" of the released Israeli female hostages ages 12 to 48 − there are about 30 of them − were sexually assaulted while held by Hamas in Gaza.

"The doctor did not want to elaborate on the specific nature of the assaults out of concern for survivors. The doctor said people who have been sexually abused typically have a mortality rate four times higher than someone who has not been sexually abused." . . .

“The voices of so many of these women and girls were stolen by Hamas, but their bodies tell the tale,” Pildis said. “Broken pelvises. Mutilated genitals. Brutalized bodies. Then we have eyewitnesses coming forward with stories of gang rape, of torture, of murder."   "Anti-Jewish bias makes it easier for some people to refuse to believe these accounts, Pildis said."

 “We are living in this believe-all-women era, and somehow that philosophy vanished very quickly when we're talking about Israeli women,” she said. “It’s really hard not to see that as ingrained antisemitism, ingrained bias that leads people not to want to believe these voices.”

NPR Suspends Editor Who Blew Whistle On Left-Wing Takeover Of Newsroom

 Jason Cohen | The Daily Caller   "National Public Radio (NPR) on Friday officially suspended veteran editor Uri Berliner, who recently published an essay exposing the government-funded outlet’s alleged bias during former President Donald Trump’s presidency.

"Berliner, who has worked at NPR for 25 years, alleged in the essay published in The Free Press that the outlet was seeking to take down Trump during his presidency by citing Russia-collusion accusations that subsequently were debunked. The outlet suspended Berliner without pay for five days starting on Friday, NPR reported on Tuesday.

. . ." Berliner claimed in his essay that all of NPR was in agreement on the prioritization of race and identity, causing a lack of “viewpoint diversity” and rise in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The editor also criticized the outlet for failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 presidential election, and uncritically accepting the words of Dr. Anthony Fauci during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“ 'Colleagues contend Berliner cherry-picked examples to fit his arguments and challenge the accuracy of his accounts,” according to NPR. “They also note he did not seek comment from the journalists involved in the work he cited.' ” . . .

O'Keefe Media Group Uncovers who is Really Running the White House

 MUST SEE: Special Advisor Reveals That Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Are Still Involved Behind The Scenes! (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit

. . ."He revealed that some refer to former Facebook board member and Biden Chief of Staff Jeff Zients as “the second most powerful person in Washington” and that “by getting Jeff’s sign off, you’re getting the President to sign off.”

“Whatever this guy says, it’s what the President says,” Robinson told an undercover journalist. Robinson also said Jeff Zients is the most powerful person at the White House, “other than like the President.” Zients is even more powerful than Kamala Harris “in some ways” but “not legally,” according to Robinson.

Zeints’ approval for activity within the Administration includes his sign-off on activity that potentially violates the Hatch Act, which prevents federal employees from taking part in partisan activity or influencing an election. Robinson says that SBA Administrator Isabel Guzman indirectly campaigns for Joe Biden and helps to get Democrats elected in Congress. “Pretty much every week, she goes somewhere in the country… We can tell their accomplishments; she can’t like go on a stage and be like, ‘Hey, vote for Joe Biden.’ Like that’s illegal,” said Robinson.

“Any time we go [to a state], we try to visit with a Member of Congress, if they’re a Democrat… because then we can help them get reelected as well. So we’re going to Montana because Senator Tester, he’s the Democratic Senator from Montana, like he’s in a tough reelection race, and that’s like a seat we need in the Senate to maintain a majority.” Robinson added, “We all, like as an office, were going, and the White House was like, ‘yes, go. Invite Senator Tester. Don’t invite the other Senator because he’s a Republican, and don’t invite the two members of Congress because they’re Republicans.'” He then confirmed that the White House authorized the SBA to campaign for this Senator.

"Robinson also revealed that Biden’s shadow cabinet of advisors, which includes Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. According to Robinson, Hillary Clinton is close to people in the White House, such as Director of the Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden, a former employee of Hillary Clinton, and uses them to influence policy. “She does a lot of the international stuff… They have like the Clinton Initiative,” he added.

"Recall that O’Keefe previously exposed another White House official who admitted that Joe Biden’s mental health is in decline and that there are closed-door discussions about how to remove Kamala Harris from the 2024 ticket without stirring a “scandal” and giving poor optics to the American people." . . .

Jury Selection Process in Trump Trial Just Hit Another Snag

 Spencer Brown (townhall.com)  

"The jury selection process for former President Donald Trump's "hush money" trial in New York City has not been going quickly nor smoothly — and things took another turn Thursday morning. After struggling to find jurors in the pool who said they could consider the case fairly and impartially, at least one individual who had been impaneled to the jury has now been excused by the judge.

"A female juror, "Juror #2," who works as an oncology nurse and had biographical details — including her occupation and other information from her responses to the juror questionnaire and its 42 multi-part questions — made public told the judge that she had "friends, colleagues, and family push things to my phone questioning my identity as a juror."

" 'After sleeping on it overnight," Juror #2 told the court she "has concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial."

"As a result, Judge Juan Merchan excused Juror #2, meaning there are just now just six impaneled jurors and 12 more must still be settled. 

"Contrary to claims that Trump and his allies are trying to intimidate jurors, mainstream media outlets hostile to Trump reported details about jurors' identities — apparently enough details to allow at least one juror to have her presence on the panel suspected." . . .

A disgrace for the US Senate - Victoria White Berger  "There is no more room in our country for fools; we are full up.  We have been bested by the best of fools — the U.S. Senate, in which today, mostly thanks to Chuck Schumer but really thanks to all the Democrats in the Senate, it has been made clear that no tradition, no constitutional respect, and no national empathy exists anymore on Capitol Hill.  The American people  are past being outmaneuvered and now stand askance, beaten down by the fools and rogues in D.C. with far too much power on their hands and far too weak to care.  These senators all well know the critical jam we’re in with Biden’s open border — and today, they not only let us know they don’t care, but rub our noses in it, not even allowing our fears and our despair their day in court.

"The Republicans were outfoxed and shamed by the most cynical “point of order” from Majority Leader Schumer at his bully pulpit.  (Senator John Kennedy called Schumer’s point of order “specious,” and right he was.)  Schumer unilaterally declared that the first article of impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas, brought to the Senate from the House, was ‘unconstitutional” because it did not delineate impeachable offenses.  Total hogwash.  Article 2 went by the boards next and in similar fashion.  Every Democrat in the Senate upheld Schumer’s point of order by their votes, despite repeated attempts from the Republicans in motions to redirect, or postpone, the cataclysm.  There would be no discussion, no evidence, no precedent, no postponement, and no trial — only disgrace.

"Although we were forewarned of this national failure to redress, again, the Republican senators were still caught “unaware” (which they are getting very good at)." . . .

Those Behind the Effort to Kick Trump Off Ballots Have Something in Common (Mia Cathell)

"All over America, party loyalists whose preferred candidate is President Joe Biden are engaging in lawfare to win at the ballot box by any means necessary. Some of the bad-faith actors spearheading the efforts to defeat former President Donald Trump — the GOP's far-and-away frontrunner — before Election Day even begins are beneficiaries of puppeteering philanthropist George Soros." . . .

"On the FEC filing for the contribution to Bellows For Senate, the younger Soros listed her occupation as a "foundation consultant" and address as the "family office" of Soros Fund Management, the principal asset manager for the Soros-funded grantmaking Open Society Foundations, which serves as the central hub of her financier father's anti-capitalist, redistributionist network. Andrea Soros is currently sitting on the global Open Society Board of Directors as well as its U.S. counterpart." . . .

 Unmasking the pro-Palestinian movement - Robyn Dolgin

"All things considered, Patel and her group-think protestors are sterling examples of the end result of wokeness. It’s as if they were primed at the pump of college indoctrination -- being taught to hate their own societies -- making them moral Muppets whose strings are being pulled by uniquely cruel and malevolent societies."  Robyn Dolgin

George Soros' work in our streets.

 Unmasking the pro-Palestinian movement - Robyn Dolgin  "It came as a shock to Ms. Patel when the council did make a decision, but not the one she had in mind. Her intimidation tactics -- including a reference to bringing back the “guillotine to kill all you mother#ckers” ” (presumably legislators) -- resulted in her arrest in council chambers. The young radical lost her bluster at the time of pre-trail booking and was filmed dissolving into uncontrollable sobbing. She is facing 18 felony counts, and bail is set at $1 million (later reduced).

"The problem is that Patel thought she had a free pass to use the ugliest tactics, never thinking she would be held accountable. Perhaps she pushed the council members to their limit by suggesting: “We’ll (protestors) see you at your house,” and leaving nothing to the imagination added: “We’ll murder you.” . . .  George Soros can turn out rioters to support her.

Open Society Foundations gave $60,000 in 2018 to the Arab American Association of New York, a group co-founded by politically connected activist Linda Sarsour that helped plan a hate-filled “Flood Brooklyn for Palestine” protest in Bay Ridge on Oct. 21, where protestors called for the eradication of Israel and held a sign of the Israeli flag in a trash basket that read “Please keep the world clean!”

We're All Paying A Deadly Price For Obama's Foreign Policy; And now it’s Joe Biden’s legacy too.

 David Harsanyi (thefederalist.com)

"Democrats blamed their strawman, Benjamin Netanyahu, not Hamas or Iran, for trying to “drag” the world into war. The New York Times’ Tom Friedman, perhaps the wrongest person ever to tread on this planet, theorized that the prime minister wanted “a war to shore up his own crumbling political base.' ”

"If a belligerent state launched 186 explosive drones, 36 cruise missiles, and 110 surface-to-surface missiles from three fronts against civilian targets within the United States, would Joe Biden call it a “win”?

"Would the president tell us that the best thing we can do now is show “restraint”? What if that same terror state’s proxy armies had recently helped murder, rape, and kidnap more than 1,000 American men, women, and children? What if this terror state were trying to obtain nuclear weapons so it could continue to agitate without any consequences?

"This is what Joe Biden and the Barack Obama acolytes, Iranian dupes, and Israel antagonists he’s surrounded himself with demand of Jewish State.

"And by “Iranian dupes,” I don’t only mean the Jake Sullivans and Antony Blinkens of the world, who worked to elevate the mullahs over Sunni allies and the Israelis, or even a Hamas-bestie like Rob Malley or Israel-hater like Maher Bitar. I mean assets of the Islamic State who promised the Iranian government to help out in any way possible.

"Their worldview is a cancer that’s metastasized within the Democratic Party. To these people, Israel will always be the villain. And if the Iranian regime’s murder of more than 600 American servicemen couldn’t cool that bromance, 1,300 dead Jews certainly aren’t going to do the trick.

"To begin with, Jared Kushner’s Middle East policy efforts were, by every measure, more successful than not only Obama’s efforts but the decades of Brookings Institute-endorsed failures the region has endured. The Trump administration undercut Palestinian terror efforts, stifled Iranian ambitions, and created space for the Gulf States and Israel to enhance ties." . . .

. . ."But to truly comprehend how demented our foreign policy has become, consider this: Iran reportedly informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, and the U.S. told Iran through Ankara that the attack should be “within certain limits.” This is a longtime ally of the United States we’re talking about — and a foe that’s murdered and kidnapped Americans for decades."...
