Joe Biden finally 'pushes' Hamas on cease-fire

Hamas has gotten a free ride thus far in cease-fire negotiations with Israel. Joe Biden's administration didn't push Hams until conservative media mentioned the Administration's soft-on-Hamas approach with negotiations this weekend. USA Today is now reporting that "President Joe Biden pushed Hamas on Wednesday to agree to his administration's latest cease-fire and hostage release proposal. '[It] is now up to Hamas. They need to move on the proposal that's been made,' Biden said."

Biden's double standards

USA Today is also reporting "The president's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said Tuesday he still had not 'seen a credible and executable plan' to relocate, house, feed and provide medicine for civilians." When he was part of Obama's administration, did then-VP Biden insist that the U.S. put together "a credible and executable plan" for relocating, housing and feeding civilians when that administration raided Afghanistan? Can Sullivan highlight another nation that's been asked to put such a plan together in the history of warfare?

Hamas isn't serious about negotiating. If it were, they'd know where their hostages are. They don't:

It's been almost 24 hrs. since Hamas issued that statement. The Biden administration hasn't said a word criticizing Hamas for taking the hostage situation seriously.

This is a new type of foreign policy. I'm calling it 'performative foreign policy' because it's about the performance, not affecting substantive change.

Biden in an interview with Univision that was taped last week and aired on Tuesday evening said the Israeli prime minister is making a "mistake" in his approach to the war.

"I think there's no excuse to not provide for the medical and the food needs of those people. It should be done now," Biden said in the interview.

The U.S. president also decried the "outrageous" killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers by Israeli troops.

Adm. Kirby, Biden's chief defender, said that the U.S. killing of the 10 aid workers in Afghanistan shouldn't be compared with the killing of the WCK workers because they happened 3 years apart.

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
