Another day in the life of Ro Khanna

Another day in the life of Ro Khanna
“I believe that Zionism is self-determination of the Jewish people, and the right for Israel to exist. And I support that. What I don’t believe is if it means Greater Israel,” said Khanna, adding that he believes there needs to be a “two-state solution.”

Ro Khanna is part of America's elite group and is one of the congresses wealthiest men. He is one of those cool democrats that dislikes traditional America, its clingers and deplorables among other things. Not long ago Ro Khanna decided that he would take a trip to check on the people he really likes; Palestinians and those that he really can't tolerate: Jews.  So, he pulled up his pants & packed his bags and headed for the West Bank.

The Israeli Embassy heard about the trip and offered to coordinate with the invincible Khanna, but Ro never returned the phone call. After all, he was a member of congress and above all else a cool democrat and he could go wherever he wants, whenever he wants. He was on a righteous fact-finding mission.

Unfortunately, there are parts of the West Bank that are what is known as Closed Military Zones. Either unknowingly or deliberately, Ro Khanna and his party wandered into one of them, and he was stopped by locals in the area, while the Israeli police were summoned.

Here is what followed:

"Khanna chose to press directly into this space without notifying local security or coordinating his itinerary with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) beforehand. His convoy engineered a confrontation; at no point, however, was there any kind of violence. The army and police arrived to sort things out.

Khanna immediately launched an aggressive media blitz detailing his firsthand perspective of the interaction. He stated to reporters that masked settlers wielding  American-made   M4 rifles  had surrounded his vehicle and held his delegation hostage. He took to X,  claiming  the arriving Israeli soldiers actively sided with the settlers. Kasky  supported  this narrative online, stating that the military units arrived solely to back up the civilian blockades. Khanna described feeling  completely powerless  during the encounter, using that emotional framing to dominate international headlines."

"The official IDF response flatly contradicts  the congressman’s version of the timeline and events. The military confirmed it received a report regarding civilians unlawfully blocking foreign nationals and immediately dispatched troops to resolve the issue. The official IDF statement notes that soldiers quickly dispersed the crowd and reopened the road within a brief period of time. Military representatives explicitly stated that the operating soldiers took no part in blocking the vehicles. IDF sources speaking to regional newspapers added that the incident was minor enough to resolve without senior commanders ever deploying to the scene.

In other words, Khanna’s account was thoroughly dishonest."

"The political monetization of the incident began before the dust even settled on the dirt road. Khanna immediately used his official social media accounts to blast out  fundraising emails  citing his afternoon in the West Bank."

Ro Khanna’s shameless West Bank stunt — followed by fundraising emails


But I'm going to let our readers decide.

Is Ro Khanna a fool, or a charlatan?

I read about this clowns "shit show" yesterday.  In true Democrat fashion, everything backfired.  If only he cared this much about his constituents.

The media went right along with him. They ignored whatever the IDF said. In the end they had to back away from the story.

These morons were hoping for some kind of "gotcha" moment.  I seriously doubt they expected the outcome.  That everything they were dumb enough to believe were lies.

In the video they released he kept saying he's a "member of congress" like that fucking means something there.  And they think everybody else is stupid.

At today's hearing:

Sen. John Cornyn is a key vote in the Todd Blanche and is pressing Todd Blanche on the Trump settlement. Blanche stated again, for the 10th time that the weaponization fund under the agreement has not and will not be used.

Why does he have to "reassure" the senators about that?

Why does he have to "reassure" the senators about that?  

For starters, because Democrats blocked a measure 10 years ago that would have banned all these slush funds because historically they've used them to give billons of taxpayer dollars to their allies. You don't think Trump thought of this process himself, do you?

Because democrats don't want Trump doing what they did.

As Alfred Hitchcock used to say at a commercial break: "Our sponsors demand that we have a cooling-off period. We'll return in a few minutes."

The hearing is taking a 15 minute break.

See you in a few.

The senile old fool Chuck Grassley has interjected Bidens name about a half dozen times for no apparent reason.

Grassley was reminding his democrat colleagues of how silent they were when the Biden DOJ went completely rogue.

He is basically calling them hypocrites.
