Dean Phillips vs. the Squad

Dean Phillips consented to an interview with CNN's Poppy Harlow. During the interview, Rep. Phillips advocated for Israel's right to defend itself against invaders. Harlow then "pointed out that members of the Democratic 'Squad' in Congress disagree with this position. She asked Phillips to respond to a tweet from fellow Minnesota Democrat, Rep. Ilhan Omar, calling for the U.S. to end military aid to Israel."

To most clear-thinking people, the right to defend one's self and their family is a natural right that doesn't need defending. That's why the Constitution's Bill of Rights includes the Second Amendment. The text of the Second Amendment says "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Since this right existed before this nation was created and before the U.S. government existed, this is considered part of natural law, meaning that government can't take the right away since government didn't give us this right. Rep. Phillips replied to Ms. Harlow:

Phillips retorted that supporting Israel should be clear as day, responding, "I will say that there is right and wrong, and it’s black and white to me right now. We have to support Israel."
Alan Dershowitz isn't putting up with the demonstrators that think it's ok for Hamas to behead babies and other people:

The Democrat again appealed to supporting Israel amidst Hamas's brutality against babies, children and women. "Anybody who has seen what Hamas has done, anybody who knows what the charter reads, has to make a choice," he added. "I know reasonable people can disagree. I don’t think that’s a reasonable proposition."

Phillips argued that supporting Israel doesn't mean you can't be empathetic to the suffering of civilians on both sides of the war. But he called out progressive members of his party who had voiced support for protests where pro-Palestinian marchers displayed "clear and sickening" antisemitism.

What Hamas did to kibbutzes near Gaza is the personification of barbarity:
The Israel Defense Forces took a team of foreign press to the site Tuesday to document the slaughter, including the killing of children, women and senior citizens.

"I've never seen anything like this in my career, never in 40 years of service. This something I never imagined," Israeli Maj. Gen. Itai Veruv told reporters. "It’s not a battlefield. It’s a massacre. It's something I’ve never seen in my life. You see the babies, the mothers, the fathers in the bedroom, in the protection room, and how the terrorists killed them."

This shouldn't be a right vs. left thing. It should be a right vs. wrong thing. This is the right thing to do:

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
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
