Joe Biden's foreign policy 'streak' is still intact

In 2015, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates wrote his famous memoir "Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War." In that memoir, Gates wrote that Joe Biden "has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." Eight years later, Biden's streak is still intact and growing. Since 2015, Joe can add Crimea, Afghanistan and Ukraine to his list of failures.

Joe's list of failures is predicated on the belief that appeasement, aka diplomacy, is the key to world peace. This, of course, if foolish. Terrorist organizations and terrorist-supporting nations (think Iran) love playing idiots like Biden like a fiddle. They're known in the Muslim world as "useful idiots."

Joe Biden's affection for Iran is one of his worst stumbling blocks. Biden keeps thinking that he'll finally achieve success if he does something historic. This WSJ editorial highlights one of Scranton Joe's biggest weaknesses:

More important, the U.S. also throttled back enforcement of oil sanctions, which gave Tehran billions more dollars to finance Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist proxies. Iran’s oil production jumped to three million barrels a day in August from 2.6 million in April, according to Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries data.More important, the U.S. also throttled back enforcement of oil sanctions, which gave Tehran billions more dollars to finance Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist proxies.

Biden is doing everything in his power to finance Iran. The thought of him putting pressure on Iran isn't part of his thinking. We know that putting pressure on the mullahs often causes uprisings within Iran. Isn't it time to covertly help the Iranian people topple the mullahs? That would be historic! Letting Iran sell its oil unfettered isn't in anyone's interests except the terrorists' interests. Then there's this:
Iran has ramped up oil production at a faster rate than the U.S. as the Biden Administration turned a blind eye to its sanctions circumvention. Iran’s production surge occurred mostly over the summer as the Administration sought to strike a new nuclear deal with Tehran and counter rising U.S. gasoline prices.
How are Biden's policies incenting Iran to start acting within acceptable norms? Their policies need to change. This administration's appeasement policies have failed. Diplomacy without the will to crush terrorist actions is just blah, blah, blah. It accomplishes nothing. It lets terrorists play us. NO THANKS! Gov. DeSantis weighed in on Biden's disappearing act:

The good news is that Biden had time for a White House BBQ this weekend:

Thank God Biden's priorities are right.

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
