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?

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
