American Muslims for Palestine advocates for immediate cease-fire

Mariam el-Khatib was the first interview Friday night on Almanac. el-Khatib is part of an organization called American Muslims for Palestine. She was brought on to talk about the Israeli-Palestinian war over Gaza. The first point she made was to call for an immediate cease-fire. When asked about that, Khatib said that was a solid starting point, signaling that they wanted more than that.

Khatib then said "the bare minimum we're asking for is we just want to stop seeing people die, stop seeing kids being pulled from the rubble, parents burying their own children so our first focus is to call for a cease-fire."

Later, Khatib said "I have another friend whose family was in the hospital that was attacked." That's been debunked. The Hospital wasn't attacked. Further, the Hospital wasn't hit. A rocket launched by Palestinian Islamic Jihad launched the missile with the intent of hitting a target Israel. The missile wasn't intended to hit inside Gaza. Unfortunately, that's what happened. Here's proof:

Here's the video of the interview:

Approximately 3 minutes into the interview, Khatib said "at this point, you just have to be human to want to see the violence end." That means that I'm not human because I don't want to see the violence end. I want to see Hamas exterminated.

Later, Khatib said "Israel's defense minister referred to Palestinians as 'human animals." Actually, he described Hamas as human animals. All Hamas terrorists are Palestinians. Only a percentage of Palestinians are Hamas terrorists.

Khatib said that "calling for a cease-fire is the bare minimum" saying that they don't want any more children getting killed. That takes chutzpah since it was Hamas that chopped off the heads of 40 children. As for a cease-fire, that's off the table. The 2-State Solution should be off the table, too, because Hamas doesn't want to be Israel's neighbor. Hamas wants the Jewish people entirely exterminated. It says that in their charter.

Hamas started this war by attacking innocent Jewish people living in kibbutzes on the day of one of Israel's feast days -- Yom Kippur. Now they want Israel to stop their attack before fixing the problem? I don't think so. Let Israel defend itself.

In his speech Thursday night, Biden got something right when he said "history has taught us that when terrorists don’t pay a price for their terror, when dictators don’t pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction. They keep going, and the cost and the threats to America and to the world keep rising." A cease-fire at this point doesn't impose a cost on Hamas, which means they can continue with their brutality campaign. We've traveled that road enough. It's time to end that cycle.

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
