Biden and McConnell try to sell Republicans on Ukraine, Israel aid
Via: Nerm_L • News Viners • 21 Comments • 1 Like • 2 years ago
“Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell will be tasked with rallying his caucus to pass President Biden's $106 billion funding request for Israeli aid.”
Neoliberals to the rescue! McConnell is trying to breathe new life into Ronnie Raygun and the Axis of Evil. C'mon Mitch, put Freedom Fries back on the Senate menu. C'mon Mitch, tell us again that if we're not with you then we're terrorists. Let's bring back the phony patriotism of sell-out...
House speaker vote live updates: GOP weighs whether Jim Jordan should drop bid after 3rd loss

“Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio lost a third round of voting to elect a new speaker of the House, with three more Republicans voting against him.”
In a bipartisan move, all 210 Democrats voted for Hakeem Jefferies. Matt Gaetz's association with Democrats has devolved into victimhood and becoming a martyr. Gaetz and Jefferies are united in claiming they created this mess for the good of the country. So, what happens now? Joe Biden pounds...
Biden says support for Israel, Ukraine is 'vital' for US security
Via: Nerm_L • News Viners • 3 Comments • 1 Like • 2 years ago
“President Joe Biden declared it is "vital for America's national security" for Israel and Ukraine to succeed in their wars.”
Does everyone understand now? For those of us who are older than dirt, Biden's wanderings through the geopolitical past was familiar enough that we could at least make up something meaningful from Biden's address. Biden did not explain anything. Biden did not lay out any sort of framework to...
Biden to address nation after Israel trip, says 'I got it done' on aid to Gaza
Via: Nerm_L • News Viners • 20 Comments • 3 Likes • 2 years ago
“He will also speak on the war in Ukraine in the 8 p.m. ET speech Thursday.”
So, what was Biden's trip to Israel about? Biden claims he 'got it done' but doesn't really explain what. Biden's handlers allowing Biden to directly interact with the press is a clear indication that the trip was nothing more than a photo op. Biden has to make a rare prime-time address to the...
Opinion | As Gaza's plight worsens, a moment of truth

“For too long, the plight of Gazans has been treated as an afterthought in an irresolvable conflict. This must end — now.”
The political left trying to find Muslim Jesus reeks of pathetic rationalizations, equivocations, and outright lies. And, yet, the political left becomes outraged when it's moral justifications are called out as phony. Biden is headed to the Middle East for the sole purpose of grabbing...
Opinion | Why Israel Must Reconsider Its Gaza Evacuation Order

“As secretary general of the United Nations, I appeal to Israeli authorities to reconsider.”
Antonio Guterres, Secretary General(?) of the United Nations, employs intellectual hash to defend what? A world order that has not committed itself to order? A status quo that favors anarchy and chaos? A further weakening of national sovereignty as a means to achieving one-world government?...
America is now paying more in interest on its record $33 trillion debt than on national defense — here's who holds the IOUs

“With more than $10 trillion of interest costs over the next decade, this compounding fiscal cycle will only continue to do damage to our kids and...”
Everyone knows that government spending and debt will be a campaign issue up and down ballot. Playing coy or, worse yet, playing dumb won't convince voters that the problem is being taken seriously. And the debt and deficits have become so large that Pollyannas can't blow them off as nothing to...

“NY Gov Kathy Hochul blasted rally as 'abhorrent and morally repugnant'”
Just another day in New York. Not long ago politicians were supporting these protesters. Now there's an opportunity for spittle spewing outrage. And nothing changes.

“The Pentagon said the U.S. military shot down an armed Turkish drone that came within 500 meters (yards) of American troops in northeastern Syria.”
Obama's quagmire is back in the news. The ten year anniversary of US intervention in Syria will be commemorated a couple of months before the 2024 election. Syria is just another decades long brush war of no value or interest to the United States.
EU cannot replace US aid for Ukraine – Borrell

“Europe certainly cannot replace the United States”
The EU pleads poverty. The EU is the second or third largest economy in the world but its continued existence depends entirely upon dollars for democracy. The continued existence of the EU simply costs more than Europe is willing to spend. The EU tells us that Ukraine and Russia is Biden's...
