Chuck Schumer's disappearing act

Sen. Chuck Schumer is virtually impossible to figure out, especially when it comes to Israel. This past Sunday, Sen. Schumer issued this timid statement about the raging antisemitism on college campuses. In his statement, Sen. Schumer said "College campuses must be places of learning and discussion. Every American has a right to protest, but when protests shift to antisemitism, verbal abuse, intimidation, or glorification of Oct. 7 violence against Jewish people, that crosses the line. Campuses must remain safe for all students."

It doesn't get much more timid than that. He's the senior senator from NY and this is his best? Where's his call for Gov. Hochul to deploy the state troopers and national guard to protect Jewish students? Where's his expression of outrage against the pro-Hamas activists? This isn't a grassroots movement. Let's get serious. With all of these professionally-made signs and the expensive tents that popped up virtually overnight, someone is funding this. College students, even those from Ivy League universities, can't pull something like this together this quickly.

It's instructive that Sen. Schumer called for regime change in Israel:

The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after October 7. The world has changed — radically — since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past. Nobody expects Prime Minister Netanyahu to do the things that must be done to break the cycle of violence, preserve Israel’s credibility on the world stage, and work towards a two-state solution.
In calling for regime change, Sen. Schumer expressed his outrage. In issuing his statement on raging antisemitism on campus, Sen. Schumer was meek as a lamb.This is a report on Sen. Schumer's Senate speech:

The anti-Israel Schumer was 100 times more fired up than the anti-Hamas Schumer. Then again, speaking with moral clarity isn't the Democrats' strength. It hasn't been since the time of giants like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Hubert Humphrey and Scoop Jackson.

It's always the right time to speak with moral clarity and conviction. That isn't Sen. Schumer's thing, though. It never will be. I'll leave you with this infamous video of Sen. Schumer going off the rails:

Chuck Schumer isn't bothered by pro-Hamas protesters intimidating Jewish students at NYU and Columbia but he's fired up about removing Israel's properly elected leader. What's with that?

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...
