YIKES: Tim Walz's Remarks About Gaza Just Revealed Why They Don't Want Him Answering Questions

How can America's allies and adversaries have an ounce of respect for our nation? TD

Nick Arama – RedState 

Let's review. What happened? Hamas, the government that the people in Gaza voted for, attacked Israel and killed more than 1,100 people, including killing and kidnapping Americans. Instead of condemning Hamas or saying how they should be dealt with, Walz doesn't even mention them but appears to blame Israel for the situation. Not one word about American hostages. But he's all in for the people in Gaza. 

RealityBites

"I wrote earlier about Joe Biden's cluelessness when it comes to what's going on with Gaza, Hamas, and making deals with terrorists. 

"Biden keeps leaning on Israel, and that keeps emboldening Hamas. Hamas is now demanding even more to make a deal and even threatening the hostages. That's what bending over and being weak like Biden gets you. 

"But I guess the Harris-Walz team didn't want Biden to have a corner on stupid. They doubled down on the bad takes with what Tim Walz said to WCMU on Thursday. WCMU Public Radio covers Central and Northern Michigan. No wonder there's a reluctance to let him talk. It was awful. 

"He was asked, "How would a Harris-Walz administration handle the conflict and would it break with the Biden administration in any way?"

"He said the following, and he should have stopped with what he said before the first "but." . . .


. . ."But not only does Walz want to tie Israel's hands, he doesn't say anything about responding on behalf of the U.S. against Hamas for killing Americans. Instead, he insists that "leverage" be applied to Israel to "start moving in the direction of a two-state solution." Israel has already offered the Palestinians a two-state solution -- and had it rejected. Walz seems to have no idea of how many times Israel has bent over for a deal, only to have Hamas attack them or refuse deals for their trouble. If he doesn't know that, he's not qualified for the position he's seeking. Where is the "leverage" against the Hamas terrorists?" 

Iran Planned Assassinations of Trump, Biden, Haley, and Others?

 Mary Chastain (legalinsurrection.com)  "I ask again: How many other people are hunting Americans on our soil?"


"Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released FBI documents detailing the Iran-backed assassination plots against Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Nikki Haley, and others.

"Iran wanted revenge for the killing of IRGC Officer Qasem Soleimani in 2022.

"The DOJ indicted Pakistani national Asif Merchant for trying to perform the assassinations.

“Bad actors are determined to wreak havoc on our country, and American political leaders across both parties are sitting squarely in the crosshairs,” stated Grassley. “In this extraordinarily heightened threat environment, federal agencies ought to be laser focused on building up public trust and reassuring the American people of their efforts to carry out their protective missions. I won’t stop pressing for answers until Congress and the American people are afforded the transparency they deserve.” . . .

DOJ Charges Pakistani Man With Ties to Iran in Foiled Plot to Assassinate Trump, Govt. Officials

True or false? How can we believe government agencies run by Democrats anymore? TD

I’m not going to entirely dismiss the reporting as false, but I don’t trust the FBI. I want to see the raw intelligence data, and whatever they used to corroborate it. And I want to know who their Confidential Source is, what was his degree of access to the reported information and why they believed his reporting was reliable. (Remember that they maintained that Christopher Steele’s reporting was assessed as reliable.)

Is there any reason to believe this is not just another case of the FBI claiming information was reliable only so they could swoop in and foil some diabolical scheme at the last moment so that they could look like heroes to Congress and the public?

Again, I’m not saying it couldn’t be true, but the FBI has lied too many times in the past to get the benefit of the doubt.

Gold Star Families Defend Trump After Harris’ Criticism

  Religio-Political Talk (RPT) (religiopoliticaltalk.com)

" ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ hosts discuss Gold Star families defending former President Trump for attending a memorial for fallen service members after Vice President Harris’ criticism."


Senator Tom Cotton Shuts Down The Fake News Arlington Hoax
"Senator Tom Cotton has decisively addressed the misleading narrative surrounding the Arlington incident, clarifying that he did not engage in campaign photography at the cemetery. He emphasized that the families involved, specifically Gold Star families who have suffered the loss of their children due to the failures of the Biden administration, were the ones who extended the invitation for him to be present and to capture those poignant moments. Furthermore, he pointed out that these families also reached out to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, questioning their absence during such a significant occasion. While Biden was reportedly enjoying leisure time at a beach, Harris remained in her residence in Washington, D.C., merely a short distance away from the cemetery. "Cotton's remarks underscore a broader critique of the current administration's handling of military affairs and its engagement with the families of fallen service members. He highlighted the stark contrast between his presence at the cemetery and the lack of action from Biden and Harris, who have not only failed to honor the sacrifices made by these young men and women but have also not engaged with their families in any meaningful way. The senator attributed the tragic deaths of 13 American service members in Afghanistan to the incompetence of the Biden administration, suggesting that their absence from such a solemn event reflects a deeper disregard for the sacrifices made by the military and their families. This situation raises significant questions about the administration's commitment to honoring those who have served and the families left behind."

Kamala Caves ... And Plays 'Let Me Speak' Card Anyway

  HotAir  

“I let him talk—I’m going to let her talk,” Trump told Hannity. “There are those that say that Biden is smarter than she is. If that’s the case, we have a problem.”

. . ."Well, that's more access to Kamala on the record than they've had since July 21! Harris has been on the record with the media for a staggering 26 minutes over the last 45 days, and eight minutes or so of that time got absorbed by her equally reticent running mate Tim Walz. In contrast, Trump and J.D. Vance have spent hours and hours taking questions in interviews and pressers, holding such events almost at a one-a-day pace since Harris got nominated. 

"Of course, we all know why Harris wanted the mics unmuted for this debate. She wanted to bait Trump into interrupting her and speaking over her, so that she could do what she did to Mike Pence -- embarrass him by scolding over interruptions. Harris got some mileage out of that four years ago, mainly because Pence is a genuinely courtly Midwestern man who wanted to avoid looking overbearing. 

"Trump really doesn't have that problem. If Team Kamala thinks that will work against Trump, they're about to be sorely disillusioned, especially because Trump (like everyone else) will see it coming a mile away. "If Kamala can't deal with an interruption," he'll likely proclaim, "then how can you trust her to deal with America's enemies?" And so on." . . .

Georgia high school shooting suspect's father faces judge after murder charges

  CBS News 

"The father of Colt Gray, the teen suspect in the Apalachee High School shooting, was arrested, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Thursday.

"Colin Gray, 54, is being charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, the GBI said. The 14-year-old shooting suspect has been charged with four counts of felony murder.

"GBI Director Chris Hosey said at a news conference Thursday night that the charges against Colin Gray stem from "knowingly allowing his son to possess a weapon."

"Georgia law prohibits minors from possessing handguns, but there is no minimum age to possess a rifle or shotgun in Georgia.

"During a brief court hearing Friday morning, Judge Currie Mingledorff II told Colin Gray he faced up to 180 years in prison if he was convicted on all counts. The judge also advised him of his rights, and the father said, "Yes, sir," in response to some questions from the judge." . . .

Father of Georgia high school shooting suspect charged with murder, child cruelty 

 "The fact that Mr. Gray bought his son a weapon of war as a present – months after being investigated for making threats to shoot up a school – is a complete and utter dereliction of responsibility, both as a gun owner and a community member," said Suplina, adding that the verdict against the Crumbleys "should have sent a clear message to people like Mr. Gray." 

"I did it"

 


Wake Up: Hamas Is the Barbarian

  RedState 

"Americans need to wake up. The so-called "peaceful" protests we've been witnessing in public spaces and on our college campuses throughout the United States are led by pro-terrorist sympathizers who have no regard for the innocent Palestinians caught in the crossfire. These sympathizers are driven by a deep-seated hatred for both Jewish people and the United States." 


"Hamas has once again showcased the terrorist group's barbaric intentions, as six innocent hostages were brutally executed before Israel could rescue them from the group’s terror tunnels in Gaza. 

"Now, in a chilling and cruel move, Hamas is releasing images of the slain hostages and threatening to release more, further torturing the families already grieving the loss of their loved ones at the hands of Hamas terrorists. These barbaric acts highlight the true nature of Hamas and its commitment to the destruction of Israel.  

"Yahya Al-Sinwar, Hamas’ chief, knows releasing images of the slain hostages and videos will divide Israeli society and the world. He doesn’t care because he hopes this propaganda war will turn against Israel and the United States as people forget it was Hamas who launched an unprovoked attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, and recently executed six hostages hours before they could be rescued.  

"Whether we like it or not, Americans are being targeted by the same evil forces attacking Israel. Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin became the latest victim when he was executed by his Hamas captors. Since Hamas’ brutal attack on October 7, 2023, the terrorists have killed more than 30 Americans." . . .

. . ."The conflict is not merely a regional dispute; it is a battle between forces that seek to uphold human dignity and those that wish to erase it. Standing with Israel is not just about defending a sovereign nation; it is about defending the very principles that form the bedrock of civilized society. It is about ensuring terrorism, fueled by the Iranian regime, does not go unchecked and that those who seek to destabilize the world are met with resolute opposition." . . .

Spoiled brat’: Greta Thunberg arrested at Gaza protest in Copenhagen

 Sky News (msn.com)  Climate activist Greta Thunberg was arrested at a Gaza protest in Copenhagen. 

“Honestly, she is a tragic person,” Ms MacSween told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “She’s a spoiled brat.”


'Doom Goblin' Greta Thunberg:  "Kevin O'Sullivan and Isabel Oakeshott discuss Greta Thunberg's shift from climate change to protesting over Gaza, criticizing her lack of logic and the financial benefits they claim her family has gained from her activism. They express alarm over Ed Miliband's extreme green policies, which they believe will drive the nation into poverty."

Greta is ongoing fodder for satire at the Babylon Bee:
Having Solved Climate Change, Greta Thunberg Turns Attention To Middle East Peace   "People around the world sounded a celebratory cry this week, as having completed her quest to solve climate change, Greta Thunberg turned her attention to achieving peace in the Middle East.
"The renowned climatological expert and professional activist rested from her finished work fixing the earth's climate problems and set her sights on bringing all nations of the Middle East together in lasting peace and harmony.
" 'You thought I could only tackle climate change? How dare you!" Thunberg said as she sternly admonished reporters gathered at an anti-Israel protest in Malmo, Sweden. "Nothing can withstand the onslaught of Greta Thunberg. All those who stand in my path will be destroyed. I eradicated climate change in a few short years simply by giving some speeches and sitting in the road to block traffic. I will now focus my full power on bringing about lasting peace in the Middle East. Look upon me, ye mighty, and despair!"
"Upon hearing about Thunberg turning her attention toward resolving the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Israeli leaders scrambled to convene special meetings to discuss their options. "We were not expecting this," one high-ranking Israeli official said under the condition of anonymity. "We thought we had the situation well in hand, but as soon as we heard the name ‘Greta Thunberg,' our hearts froze. THE Greta Thunberg?! The impish creature that solved climate change? We may need to surrender and give Hamas whatever they ask. What other choice do we have?"
"At publishing time, a coalition of Middle East nations was preparing to negotiate a peace agreement on the condition that Thunberg promises never to visit the region."

Alone at the helm: PM Netanyahu is the sole world leader who is standing against radical Islam.

 Phyllis Chesler  

Dare I dream? Why not. It is time for the Sunni Arab countries to join us on the front lines as well. It is in their interest to do so. Perhaps Jewish progressives will also begin to wake up, not only use their money-power but also take to the streets. Heroic alliances are our only option. Netanyahu, stand strong.

"As I've long feared, the entire world is now electrically pre-wired with Jew hatred. From coast to coast, on every continent, every day, pro-Hamas demonstrations disturb the world's peace.

"It has only gotten worse after 10/7. At every conference, on every holiday, and on every campus, the hoarse cries of "Free Palestine" pierce the air. The surging, keffiyeh-masked pro-Hamas mobs are seemingly everywhere. They are not stopping anytime soon, even if Democrats try to claim they are. They constitute Iran's bought-and-paid-for global army.

"Iranian, Qatari, and left wing billionaire funding of both Jew, Israel, and America hatred for the last fifty years have accomplished this. Everyone absolutely refused to see the danger coming. One cannot blame only PM Netanyahu for this blindness, the entire world is guilty as Hell. This time, the Gates of Vienna have fallen and Europe has already reaped the deluge.

"Think of it: Hamas massacres and wounds thousands and kidnaps many hundreds of Israeli civilians--and Israel gets cursed for fighting back.

"Hamas sadistically executes six completely beaten-down, still shackled, Israeli hostages in cold blood--and pro-Hamas demonstrations take place in Bled, Slovenia (!), at a global conference which is just ending." . . .

Will New York Times, Washington Post Return Pulitzer for Misleading Russia Collusion Stories?

Dumbass Photoshop

 Hans A. von Spakovsky; The Heritage Foundation  "In 2018, journalists from The New York Times and The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize in national reporting for their biased and inaccurate coverage of Russia’s alleged collaboration with the Trump campaign to interfere with the 2016 election, a claim we now know was a hoax. So when are they going to return the prize?     (Emphasis mine, TD)

"If this sounds familiar, it should. This is not the first time the prize—which is supposed to recognize outstanding achievement and public service in journalism—was awarded for misleading and discredited coverage.

"In 1931, The New York Times published 13 articles by its Moscow reporter and Communist sympathizer, Walter Duranty, praising the Soviet Union and dictator Joseph Stalin’s government. These articles relied solely on official Soviet communist sources, ignored the evidence contradicting the government’s propaganda, and covered up the genocide Stalin was committing in the Ukraine.

"Consequentially, Duranty’s work was explicitly and knowingly misleading. Columbia University history professor Mark von Hagen said in 2003 that Duranty was "a disgrace in the history of the New York Times."

"Throughout the series, Duranty glorified Stalin’s policies and peddled Soviet propaganda. Most notably, he rejected reports by fellow journalists describing the catastrophic consequences of collectivization.

"Beginning in 1929, the Soviet Union’s collectivization policy replaced private farms with large state-owned cooperatives. In the face of resistance from Ukrainian subsistence farmers, Stalin forcibly drove farmers off their land and deported 50,000 farm families to Siberia.

"Because of the Ukrainians' rebellion, Stalin purposefully set unrealistic grain quotas and, when farmers failed to meet those quotas, confiscated all of the grain and the food produced in the region. By 1933, the man-made famine had killed millions of Ukrainians who starved to death. Some even resorted to cannibalism.

"Despite the overwhelming evidence of mass starvation in Ukraine, Duranty denied it was occurring. "Conditions are bad," he conceded, "but there is no famine." His reaction to the forced collectivization and genocidal policies of Stalin was "to put it brutally—you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs.". . . 

Schiff
Now on to recent times with Democrats, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, and pretty much
everyone on the Democrat side of the Senate Judiciary Committee:

"Today, the New York Times and the Pulitzer Prize board have fallen into a similar scenario.

"In a series of 10 articles, Times reporters propagated a narrative detailing fictitious connections between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign, the president’s transition team, and the administration." . . .

You MUST watch Tulsi Gabbard’s video about the Harris-Biden administration’s Stasi-style governance

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker  "When all my conservative friends suddenly start sending me texts and emails telling me that I must watch a video, I take that seriously. That was the case with a video that Tulsi Gabbard published yesterday on X detailing how the Harris-Biden administration has been using law enforcement, the DOJ, and a completely complicit media to silence (and, if possible, destroy) anyone who threatens the Democrat party’s hold on power.

"I’ll add only one thing to Gabbard’s pithy 14-minute-long summation of what the branches of government under Democrat party control have been doing: Most have no mandate under the Constitution. The weaponized bureaucracy has become a fourth branch of government that must be constrained." . . .

More on this here:  Tulsi Gabbard: "Kamala says she believes in freedom, but I was put on a secret terror watch list after I publicly criticized her. No one will be safe from political retaliation under a Harris administration. I put my life on the line for this country. Now the government calls me a terror threat.

They aren't even mediocre

Don Surber (substack.com)

   You can see why the deep state is so fearful of Trump’s second term. The Republican ticket is two men who accomplished greatness in the private sector, who both wrote best-sellers and who are smart enough to figure out the bureaucrat game.


"Mad TV was a sketch comedy show on Saturday nights that ran on Fox for 14 years. Unlike SNL, it was often funny. As a running joke, it ran commercials for a dating service for the “Desirably Impaired” called Lowered Expectations.
"I look at the Democrat presidential ticket for 2024 and think of those sketches. Kamala and dum dum are the least accomplished candidates that I can recall. JFK may have been a playboy son of a millionaire, but he did serve in combat in World War II. Quayle’s resume was thin as well and was no Jack Kennedy, or so I have heard, but he was young and grounded in American values.
"Kamala is 59 and Walz is 60. What have they done? What do they really stand for? They won’t say.
"Thanks to her, um, mentor Willie Brown, she held a series of political appointments to overpaid government jobs. The Good Old Boys network backed her later in two races for DA and then for state attorney general and lastly the U.S. Senate.
"Her main selling point was being black and she does not seem to be very good at that. Hillary dropped her G’s better when she talked at black churches.
"In the 21st century, being black or a woman should not be a big deal because it is no more an accomplishment than being white or a male. But Biden said he picked her only because she was a black woman.
"And she picked Walz only because he was a white man. That’s called balancing the ticket. I cannot call them mediocre because they have not risen to that level yet.
"Walz taught social studies for decades while serving in the National Guard — and making annual pilgrimages to Red China. He said it was 30 trips including a year as a teacher and his honeymoon.
"Why the Chinese Communist Party approved having a member of the American military repeatedly visit their country is anyone’s guess but the best one is they liked him. They really, really liked him.
"Unlike JD Vance who went to Iraq after joining the Marines, Walz suddenly left the Guard after 24 years when he learned they were headed to Iraq the next year. He holds the distinction of being called cowardly by his battalion chaplain.
"As governor, his greatest accomplishment was putting tampon dispensers in the boys’ restrooms in schools." . . .

REVEALED: Hamas Plan To DIVIDE Israelis Over Hostages Discovered By IDF

 REVEALED: Hamas Plan To DIVIDE Israelis Over Hostages Discovered By IDF (youtube.com)

"Exactly why should there be a divided anything? There was no Palestinian state but the Jewish state before Rome and before that it was the kingdom of Judea.Since then it's been run over by a multiplicity of people the last being the Brits who called it Palestine which was the Roman name for Judea. And the Arabs just arrived as invaders and they've been run in and out by Crusaders and others. Israel historically has the best claim to the land both historically and morally especially after ALL their attempts at peace have been broken by their antisemitic neighbors."
