Chuck Schumer, professional backstabber edition

Never should it be said that Chuck Schumer isn't willing to stab political allies in the back. It's important to remember that Schumer didn't hesitate in stabbing Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu in the back when he didn't immediately agree to a cease-fire with Hamas. Then, Schumer took to the Senate floor to say that Israel would be better off "with a different, more moderate government."

This time, Sen. schumer didn't need to travel outside the U.S. to find his target. Axios is reporting that "Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is privately signaling to donors that he's open to a Democratic presidential ticket that isn't led by President Biden. In public, Schumer has been insistent that he is 'for Joe.' In private, he's singing a different tune." Sen. Schumer is 2-friends-in-one, each with its own face, apparently. How lovely.

Axios also states that Sen. Schumer, former President Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi" have "the political and personal standing to convince Biden to step aside." What Axios didn't say, though, is that Biden will listen to any of them. It's well-known fact that there's friction between the Bidens and Obamas. Further, Pelosi is more than a hard-ass who's gotten things done by pushing people around rather than by persuading them. NewsNation put together this news segment on the Axios story:

It's worth noting that one of the panelists said that VP Harris must be part of the ticket, either at the top of the ticket or as part of a Biden-Harris ticket. If Biden doesn't run and VP Harris isn't at the top of the ticket, Democrats will have a ton of headaches.

Frankly, it's easier to just let Biden run. That way, Democrats don't have to worry about 'the Harris Factor.' Then they'll only have to worry about the donors and backstabbers like Sen. Schumer.

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
