'Experts' setting Middle East back

Now that the adults (that's said with sarcasm) are back in control of the Middle East peace process, the Middle East has returned to its traditional status. That means Israel is ablaze again. It turns out that the experts aren't that bright.

That doesn't mean the foreign policy intelligentsia will admit that the Trump administration got it right when they put Jared Kushner in charge of charting a new path to peace. There's a better chance that I'll get hit by lightning while holding 2 winning lottery tickets. In fact, Joe Biden is claiming credit for the cease-fire negotiated by the Egyptians:

Biden said during a joint press conference at the White House with South Korean President Moon Jae-in that he spent “a lot of time” on the phone with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

The White House has disclosed only one call between Biden and Sisi, which happened hours before the cease-fire was adopted by both sides, ending 11 days of fighting between Hamas-governed Gaza and Israel.

Still, Biden told reporters his own humility was key to the deal.
The Middle East was ablaze for 11 days because of Joe Biden. Without him releasing $235,000,000 in aid to the Palestinians, Hamas wouldn't have had the money to buy the rockets and missiles they shot into Israel.
 
This didn't happen because of Biden's negotiations. The cease-fire happened because the IDF virtually eliminated Hamas's weapons stockpile. The cease-fire happened because Egyptian President el-Sisi told Hamas that they wouldn't get help from the outside.

It isn't surprising that Biden would want credit for negotiating the cease-fire. It isn't like he's had a lengthy string of victories since inauguration. Last month's jobs report wasn't good news. The border has been a disaster. Inflation is eating people's paychecks far too quickly.

Thank God the experts are back in charge. Otherwise, I'd be worried.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
