Joe Biden's Palestinian crisis

When Hamas first attacked Israel during the Oct. 7 Massacre, Biden said he stood steadfastly with Israel. Anyone with an understanding of Biden knew that Biden position wouldn't last. He's an Arabist. Actually, he's more of a Persian (think Iran). After all of his pandering to Palestinian voters, he's still in hot water with the Dearborn Palestinians.

NBC News opened its reporting by saying "'Outraged,' 'point of no return" and 'absolute disaster' are how some Muslim American organizers have described their reactions to an aid package for Israel that is making its way through Congress for President Joe Biden to sign into law." Like I said, that's difficult to hear after spending 2+ months pandering to the Palestinians. Now that it appears as though Palestinians are rejecting Biden's overtures, he's in a pickle. How can Biden do a 180 and tell Jewish voters that he's had an "ironclad" relationship with PM Netanyahu? How will he do that after this incident?

Many Muslim Americans were already furious with the Biden administration over its handling of the Israel-Hamas war, with activists organizing Democrats to vote "uncommitted" rather than support the president in some state primaries this year.

For several activists and leaders of prominent Muslim American organizations, Biden's support for $26 billion in aid for Israel reaffirms their view about November's election: They cannot back Biden for a second term.

Has Biden driven those votes to RFK Jr.? Or will they just leave the ballot empty when 'voting' for president? Either way, Biden's team is right to be worried about losing Michigan. They still aren't in tons of trouble with losing Minnesota but who knows at this rate?

This video proves that this movement didn't start this week:

That's pretty definitive
If Biden signs an Israel aid package, as he intends to, "that heartless decision could mark the point of no return for what remains of the White House’s relationship with the American Muslim community and other Americans opposed to the genocide in Gaza," said Council on American-Islamic Relations' government affairs director Robert McCaw in a statement. "The administration is already at its lowest point in its relationship with the American Muslim community," McCaw said.
Finally, there's this report:
The rift between the president and Muslim American voters is unlikely to be repaired "unless the president can undo what has been done for the past six months" in Gaza, said Osama Abu Irshaid, the executive director for Americans for Justice in Palestine Action. Abu Irshaid, who lives in Virginia, cast a ballot for Biden in 2020 but is not planning to vote for Biden nor former President Donald Trump in November, he said.
I'll defend Biden to this extent. Biden isn't committing genocide. Now that he's alienated Palestinians and Jewish voters question his loyalty, Biden better worry.

Electoral Vote Worries

In Michigan, Biden has major UAW and Palestinian worries. If he loses Michigan, his chances of winning a second term are slim. In Pennsylvania, Biden has a major fracking vote problem in western Pennsylvania and a major Jewish voter problem. If Biden loses Michigan and Pennsylva, he should write his concession speech and get out the butter because, at that point, he's toast.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
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
