Biden's difficult Putin summit

Before Joe Biden or Vladimir Putin flew into Geneva, Putin had already won the summit. That's because Biden had already given him everything he wanted by lifting sanctions against the company behind the Nordstream 2 pipeline. That will help Putin exert pressure on Europe for a generation.

That's before talking about Biden giving Putin a 5-year extension of the START II Treaty, which Russia isn't complying with and that China isn't part of. That's 2 major concessions by the Biden administration in exchange for -- wait for it -- nothing.

Mike Pompeo, then-President Trump's Secretary of State, told Larry Kudlow that Putin highlighted the fact that he felt comfortable meeting with Biden. That's unacceptable for the Biden administration. Russia took down the Colonial Pipeline. After the meeting, Putin told the world -- unchallenged -- that the US, Canada and Latin America are the places where most hacking comes from. What a joke!

A real president would've taken Putin to task for the hacking statement. Joe Biden literally wasn't on the stage when Putin told that whopper. When it was time for Biden's solo press conference, he didn't even address Putin's whoppers. Biden is a total wimp. The sad part is that this is the best we can hope for from Biden. Remember this?

That's an 8-second silence. Biden didn't know what to say at that point. Imagine what Putin would've done to him had they been standing on the same stage.

Check back later for my take on Biden's G-7 trip. I won't pull punches.

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...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
