A Jerusalem Post story, citing sources in Kuwait, alleged that the Biden national security team gave the Iranians the names of deep-cover Mossad operatives working in Iran to try to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Iran. //
All of this may be true. The Kuwaiti paper may have pushed an Iranian story to stir up mischief. Fox may not have done due diligence on the story. It all might be a clever bit of disinformation.
On the other hand, "a hit dog will holler."
The counterargument to the story is based on the idea that the Kuwaiti newspaper has links to the Tehran regime and has posted inaccurate stories. //
That sounds plausible until you consider how many of the Steele Dossier stories that the media accepted at face value were also based on a single anonymous source. I'm not sure that is the strongest argument to make given our own media's performance during the Russia Hoax and COVID when they produced regime disinformation on a massive scale. I don't know why I'd believe the same people who were involved in sending $1.7 billion in cash to Tehran and lying about it rather than some other group of liars. //
The fact is that Biden's foreign policy is based on two impulses: fear and appeasement. Well, three impulses: fear, appeasement, and lies. We have read over and over about how the White House is trying to prevent "escalation" between Israel and Iran. We know from White House sources that Biden is trying to pressure Netanyahu into winding down the war in Gaza and not reacting to Hezbollah and Iranian provocations. We know that Iran has threatened to hit American targets if it can't adequately punish Israel; see Iran Warns US That If It Helps Israel Defend From Iran's Retaliation Itself Then the US Is Next – RedState. We know that the White House permits Iranian-backed gunmen to rocket US bases in the region with token retaliation. //
We know that Biden's foreign policy and defense agencies have senior people with very close ties to Tehran; see Defense Official With Frequent White House Visits and Known Iranian Ties Has a Link to Kamala Harris. Kamala's national security adviser has been employed by what is described as Iran's lobbying arm in Washington.
We also know that the White House is in thrall to the "Palestinian" movement and is deeply anti-Israel, if not outright antisemitic. //
I understand why people don't want to believe the story is true. I'd also love to be able to tell the story of an outrageous fraud. What I don't understand is what about the story isn't both plausible and totally on-brand for the Biden White House. //

Even if it’s not accurate, it reflects the utter shambles Biden has left our relationship with Israel. That story wouldn’t get reported unless there is either hard evidence the US acted as accused, or Israel is angry enough at American behavior to let it be printed without definitive proof. I would put my money on the story being true given Biden and his Obama staffed state department’s obsequiousness to Iran.
A group of up to 12 migrant boys or young men have been linked to roughly 10 robberies in Central Park, Chell said.
Police are investigating whether the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua has been enlisting young boys to commit robberies such as the wave of Central Park muggings, a senior law enforcement official previously told The Post.

To be clear, they’re lying. The ‘support staff’ for the current administration makes all the decisions, determines what legislation to push, what to ignore, who to promote, what agendas to embrace, and so on. The only real decisions the two nitwits at the top of this anthill have made over the last three years is what bribes to take. The positions of the current administration have proven to be highly profitable for the current administration and their supporters, but crushing and destructive for the rest of the country. In order to get reelected, the support staff need to position the current administration as opposed to the current administration, and to that end they are lying like crazy. Hopefully, they lose. Big.

Biden says his goal is to "cut American cancer deaths in half by 2020"
4:58 PM · Aug 13, 2024 //
Kamala Harris was on board with Biden's policies; she knew about all this. She can't disassociate herself from all these failures and issues. But even he is more open with the press than she is.
The Obama administration was terrible to Netanyahu. Somehow, Joe Biden has managed to be even worse.
From Tablet Magazine:
“He is the first president to form an interagency team dedicated to imposing sanctions on an ally, namely, Israel.”
Normally you wouldn’t expect the New York Times to pursue a story that contains negative information about top-echelon Democrats, but lo and behold, on Tuesday evening the outlet dropped an article revealing that First Son Hunter Biden requested help from the U.S. Embassy in Rome to secure a lucrative deal for the Ukrainian gas giant, Burisma, whose board he famously sat on. Here's the kicker: this was in 2016 while Joe Biden was vice president. //
The timing of this document release certainly raises eyebrows—coming less than a month after Joe dropped out of the presidential race—but the Times and the State Department assure us it’s all just a coincidence. Sure. How convenient: //

Selective Leaking, so now everyone can say “ITS OLD NEWS”, when for EIGHT YEARS, they said it wasn’t even true.
A senior Department of Defense official linked to an organization that lobbies for the mullahs in Tehran has continued to hold the highest level of security clearance and visit the White House. //
Senior Department of Defense official Ariane Tabatabai participated in multiple meetings organized by the White House’s Presidential Personnel Office, which is responsible for recruiting and vetting scores of nominees across the government, visitor logs reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.
Tabatabai was at the White House just two months after Semafor revealed she was a key member of a secretive Iranian influence group, the Iran Experts Initiative, that reported back to Tehran’s foreign ministry, according to the logs. She participated in at least seven other White House gatherings throughout the end of 2023 and into April 2024, mixing with officials from a range of cabinet-level agencies. //
Her patron is none other than Phil Gordon, Kamala Harris's national security adviser.
In his resignation letter, Dunleavy criticized how the committee conducted its investigation into the Afghanistan withdrawal and the series of failures involved in the disaster. He describes the situation as "a diplomatic failure, an intelligence failure, a military failure, a strategic failure, a policy failure, a planning failure, a political failure, a truth-telling failure, and a moral failure" and stresses that each of these aspects needed thorough investigation.
The investigator explained that his efforts to look into key aspects of the withdrawal were “repeatedly stymied by our chief investigator and by senior staff,” which resulted in what he calls “investigative paralysis.”
Much of Dunleavy’s frustration stems from a reluctance to hold high-ranking officials accountable for their missteps – especially Vice President Kamala Harris, who he describes as a key decision-maker in the withdrawal. //
In his closing remarks, Dunleavy expressed concerns that the failures of the Afghanistan withdrawal have not been adequately addressed and fears these oversights will have serious consequences for future U.S. foreign policy.

It’s a good thing President Trump’s team has all of this archived for future use. They can’t erase Stolen Valor just by cleaning a website.
I noticed they have whitewashed Wikipedia by removing all references to this ass taking leave of his Minnesota National Guard position to teach in Red China, that contract had to be at least a year. No mention of getting married on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre or honeymoon in Red China. Also no mention of his at least 30 trips to Red China.
There’s a serious problem with this guy, he shouldn’t get near classified information.

My husband had a security clearance for 40 years and he said last night that any of those trips to China would have been a hard NO on getting the clearance in the first place and he'd have been let go from his brand new job 40 years ago. That this guy could be the Vice-President is scary.
Here's Trump's full quote: "I don't know if [Biden is] happy about that decision [to quit]. The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden. And I'm no Biden fan. But I'll tell you what, from a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint, you're looking at they took the presidency away."
Let me add one more thing before you go because this is another thing that needs to be said out loud, even though hardly anyone will. //
It was noble.
Biden was more than Trump's political rival. He's a man who has spent the last five years smearing Trump (and millions of Trump voters) as a racist, a phobic, a hater, a would-be dictator, an authoritarian, and worse. But now that Biden is as low as any president has been since Richard Nixon was forced out of office 50 years ago this week, Trump spoke the truth about what Biden's own party did to him.
There are lies, damned lies, and government statistics — and maybe none is more damnable than the official unemployment rate which is half the actual rate, according to Rasmussen. Worse, the number of Americans who are neither retired nor employed is more than four times higher than July's official rate of 4.3%. //
Rasmussen surveyed nearly 9,000 American adults and found that in July the percentage of Americans who are unemployed and looking for work — this is the number that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) should report each month — was 8.4%. The BLS reported a rosy 4.3% unemployment rate last month, up from June's equally imaginary 4.1%.
From there, things only get worse. Because under Bidenomics, of course, they do.
One in four adult Americans is retired, which is nice for them. Fifteen percent say they're entrepreneurs (that can be anything from driving an Uber to launching a Silicon Valley startup), and just under 30% are employed by a private company.
Nearly one in 10 work for the government at one level or another. //
That means the percentage of Americans who could be working and perhaps would really like to be working but either can't find work or have given up finding work is 18.1%. That's more than four times the official unemployment rate.
It also means that the 45% of Americans who do work in the private sector are, in one way or another, supporting the 55% who don't, can't, or won't work.
"Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025?" Robert Costa asked Biden.
"If Trump wins, no, I'm not confident at all," Biden said first. He then corrected himself, saying if Trump loses, he's not confident at all. His brain is just mush. While the video released by NBC reflected this, their written story did not reflect what he first said.
What is he actually saying here? If Trump loses then is Biden saying he wouldn't transfer power to Kamala Harris? Does he even understand what he's saying? //
It isn't Trump talking about "mobs." It isn't Trump threatening the Supreme Court. It isn't Trump being anti-democratic and tossing the votes of more than 14 million people to the side in a coup.
It's Democrats who keep suggesting something is going to happen.
In an exclusive breaking story, several Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers have come forward with information showing that former U.S. Representative and Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard is currently enrolled in the Quiet Skies program. Quiet Skies is a TSA surveillance program with its own compartmentalized suspected terrorist watchlist. It is the same program being weaponized against J6 defendants and their families. Quiet Skies is allegedly used to protect traveling Americans from suspected domestic terrorists. //
Air Marshals were first assigned to Gabbard on Jul. 23, a day after she criticized Kamala Harris, Biden, and the National Security State in an interview with Laura Ingraham. FAMs were mobilized on Jul. 24 and assigned to their first flight with her on Jul. 25.
In July of 2023, a uniformed Secret Service agent found a bag of cocaine in the White House. Now we don't, to this day, know who the cocaine belonged to - we may very well speculate, for instance, about a certain member of the Biden family known to have substance abuse problems, but there has been no release of evidence as to whom the drug belonged to or how it came to be in the White House.
Now we learn that the former Director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned in disgrace following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, conspired to eliminate any evidence that the White House cocaine existed at all. //
It's unfortunate that Kimberly Cheatle only has one resignment in disgrace to give for her country. It's difficult, if not impossible, to see this as anything short of a partisan effort on the part of senior Secret Service officials to conceal evidence of a crime. If this is the case, it's an unforgivable act and one that should result in criminal penalties. //

According to a new report, Biden was "emotional" and began yelling as he insisted that Netanyahu somehow secure a ceasefire with a terrorist government that keeps rejecting every ceasefire proposal. //
If you're good at math, you've probably already realized that "a week to two weeks" just so happens to be days before the Democratic National Convention is set to take place. Why does that matter? Because for the better part of a year, the expectation has been that left-wing Hamas supporters will protest and commit acts of violence at the event. //
In other words, the President of the United States is demanding an American ally surrender to terrorists for political gain. That's a wild development that would be a bona fide scandal if it involved a Republican. //
As to the current threat from Iran, Biden went so far as to tell Netanyahu the United States will not help Israel defeat an attack if another "escalation" occurs. Keep in mind that the prior "escalation" was the killing of Hamas' top political leader and a wanted Hezbollah terrorist who had an American-placed bounty on his head. Apparently, that was unacceptable to the president. //

She’s just using the Joe B playbook, lie and assume that the media will agree and the public is stupid.
Historian Gertrude Himmelfarb once wrote, “What was once stigmatized as deviant behavior is now tolerated and even sanctioned; what was once regarded as abnormal has been normalized .… As deviancy is normalized, so what was once normal becomes deviant. The kind of family that has been regarded for centuries as natural and moral — the ‘bourgeois’ family as it is invidiously called — is now seen as pathological.”
The Democrats are taking a bet that Americans are far more willing to embrace men who think they are women and men who dress as dogs to have sex than a veteran married to an Indian woman with mixed-race kids who thinks perpetuating humanity and the nation is a good thing.
It is the logical end of deviancy becoming normal. When Democrats think J.D. Vance is weird and Rachel Levine is not, we reach a tipping point in the direction of the nation.
