Barack Obama, our morality arbiter

For his entire political career, Barack Obama has thought of himself as this nation's moral arbiter. Barack Obama isn't special. He's a legend in his own mind. According to this report, "Obama spoke at the Obama Foundation's Democracy Forum on Thursday, where he called for a two-state solution and an end to the 'occupation.'" It isn't surprising that he didn't identify "what occupation he meant."

He's quoted as saying "All of this is taking place against the backdrop of decades of failure to achieve a durable peace for both Israelis and Palestinians. One that is based on genuine security for Israel, a recognition of its right to exist, and a peace that is based on an end of the occupation and the creation of a viable state and self-determination for the Palestinian people."

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you shouldn't attempt to put Palestinians right next to Israelis. Palestinians hate Jews to the point that they've stated in Hamas's charter that their goal is to eliminate the Jewish state. Further, Israel used to inhabit the land currently held by Jordan in addition to the land it was given by the British.

Palestine never was a nation. They were more of a tribe. Historically speaking, they used to live in northern Africa, Tunisia to be specific. Why shouldn't the West Bank and Gaza be given to Israel because they won those lands during the 6-Day war? That's when Egypt, Jordan and Syria tried eliminating Israel Israel in 1967. Their problem was that Israel's military wasn't just better. Israel's military was superior.

In this video from the Foundation's pontificating session, Barack Obama asked a key question:

He asked himself "There's still a part of me that's saying 'Well, was there something else I could've done?" That's the best question I've heard him ask of himself. Let me reply. Yes, Barack, there is something different that you should've done.

First, you should've ripped the 2-State Solution blueprint into confetti-sized pieces. Telling Israel that the proposal for peace and prosperity is to live next to homicidal terrorists isn't just insane. It's cruel. That shouldn't happen anytime.

Hamas is essentially the 21st Century version of the Nazis. They hate Jews every bit as much as the Nazis did. If the world looked away from Israel, there's no doubt in my mind that Hamas would attempt another Holocaust. The next thing that Obama shouldn't have done is negotiate the JCPOA with Iran. Iran used the pallets of cash from Obama's administration to fund proxy wars against Israel. What part of that sounds wise? Third, Obama shouldn't have started his administration with his apology tour. That's a sign of weakness. It sent the signal that they could trample him. Other than those things, he did ok. Almost.

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
