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.

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...
