So not only is he threatening them by holding up weapons, he's providing weapons to their enemies, including Lebanon where they have Iran terror proxies who are even now attacking Israel.

Another unchecked whopper: Biden claims the inflation rate was 9% when he took office. Inflation was in fact 1.4% in January 2021.

CHM @RepMcCaul " @POTUS this is an offensive & blatantly false statement. In Afghanistan, you left behind almost 1,000 Americans & tens of thousands of our allies after promising to get them out. Americans won't fall for your attempts to sweep this under the rug. Shame on you.".
Biden is something other than a senile old man who wouldn't know the truth if it punched him in his botox-stretched face.
Joe Biden is objectively evil. //
It's cliche to call something astonishing, but it's truly mind-blowing to see a U.S. president side with a terrorist group over a multi-generational ally. Never mind that Hamas continues to attack and is still holding dozens of hostages, including some Americans. Yet, Biden has decided he doesn't care about any of that, instead choosing to prioritize his electoral prospects (and committing an impeachable offense in the process).
Do you know what you call someone who throws an ally to the wolves for cheap personal gain? You call them evil, and Biden is just that. He's also a moral coward who is so terrified of his own shadow that he can't even speak clearly about genocidal maniacs. //

BIDEN: "It made sense to go get bin Laden..."
REMINDER: Biden opposed the raid on bin Laden — and counseled Obama against it.

This should be the final straw for American voters. Biden can not be allowed to remain the President of the United States. We are well past the point of these just being simple policy disagreements. What is coming from the White House is simply evil.
In addition to a craven attempt to shore up his crumbling electoral support, Biden is showing our allies and enemies that America, under his failed leadership, is not a reliable ally. Just as he has withheld arms from Ukraine to prevent Russia from suffering a battlefield defeat, he's now withholding weapons from Israel to save Hamas's bacon. This is not unnoticed in Tehran, Beijing, Pyeongyang, and Moscow. It is also noticed in Brussels, London, and every other friendly capital on the globe. //

https://townhall.com/tipshe... quotes an X tweet by David M Friedman at https://twitter.com/DavidM_... :
The weaponry that America appears to be withholding from Israel is very precise and accurate. It will assist Israel in minimizing civilian casualties in Rafah when it begins its battle to eradicate the four Hamas battalions that continue to threaten Israel and its citizens. What is the US hoping to achieve here? It is elevating political points over human life!
According to reports, the Biden administration has halted multiple arms shipments to Israel. That decision comes amid a domestic political crisis for the president in which he is desperately seeking to appease Hamas-supporting Democrats who have taken to the streets. //
In other words, Biden just committed an impeachable offense. Congress appropriated that aid to Israel. He doesn't get to delay it in an attempt to smooth over his political misfortunes at home. How do I know that? Because that's the standard Democrats set with their first impeachment of Donald Trump.
One can only speculate as to why Biden Inc. would try to reclassify National Guard units to the Space Force, but it seems more than coincidental that more than a dozen Republican governors have sent state National Guard soldiers to help cope with the disastrous Biden border since 2021. Hmm.
One way for Biden to stop that upstaging and embarrassment is to simply move those personnel into the Space Force and prevent them from helping at the border.
Yet, he didn't say anything at all that he would do or the DOJ would do to address the criminal actions or the people behind the chaos. He also didn't address the reports that some of his mega-donors were involved in the funding that ultimately helped the campus actions.
So how much are any of his words worth now? Not a lot.

Can you imagine what the Trump OMB will be uncovering, when it audits the past four years of the Biden administration?
Every single Biden department and cabinet agency has had zero supervision for four whole years. Zero accountability. A total cess pit.
The "CHNV" migration parole program stands for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Immigrants from these countries are eligible to participate in the parole program. The program permits them to fly into the U.S. directly under certain conditions, such as having a sponsor in the U.S. and being approved for travel.
Between January and August 2023, approximately 200,000 migrants flew into the U.S. via this program. Notably, 80 percent of these arrivals, totaling 161,562 individuals, landed in four cities in Florida: Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, and Tampa.
In a fit of rage, Henry II said, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
Four Norman knights—Reginald FitzUrse, Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy, and Richard le Breton—heard Henry's complaint and decided to act. They cornered Becket in Canterbury Cathedral and hacked him to death.
No one accuses Henry II of ordering the death of Thomas à Becket, but by the same token, no one doubts that the knights who did the killing were acting according to Henry's wishes.
So what would inspire the IC to burn more of its already shredded and feces-stained credibility to promote a story that is, at worst, an outright lie and, at best, a disingenuous parsing of the word "order?"
My guess would be that Jake Sullivan has hatched some sort of midwit plan that will only work if Putin's complicity in Navalny's murder can be whitewashed into a misunderstanding. The erasure of the murder would allow Biden and Putin to meet face-to-face. By determining that rogue actors killed Navalny without official sanction, it could, conceivably, permit the removal of some of the sanctions imposed after Navalny's death. The IC, as always, stands ready to do whatever it takes to please its Democrat masters, national security, and the Constitution be damned. //

Back when Val Plame was doin' glamour shots for Vanity Fair as the CIA Analyst You'd Love to...Fly with..I took a look at the CIA's nuclear counter proliferation efforts and their track record. Val was a counterproliferation alumnus.
This office has missed every atomic or thermonuclear test except ours and the UK's. Every one. They got ours because they were notified when the test was gonna happen. They got the UK one right because they were invited to observe. Everybody else's slipped it by them. The level of epic fail in this office is nearly perfect.
Why are we still paying for the epic fail?
There are many reasons the faculties at law schools are overwhelming liberal and crazy but the main reason is because that is where the money is. Many are the well-funded liberal law firms — the ACLU being the most notorious one. They are hiring. Rare are the conservative groups.
To be sure, big corporations pay better to defend themselves, but that does not stop abuses outside the corporate world. There is no money to be made by Exxon (for example) in stopping the student loan steal. And so the theft occurs with Republicans talking the talk but walking away.
Until Republicans go to court, get a TRO and force Biden to defend forcing women to undress before men in their locker room, I do not want to hear Republican complaints.

Debt is never truly canceled, only transferred. And Biden’s latest election year stunt could transfer nearly $150 billion of student loan debt onto your backs, even though 87% of American adults don’t have student debt. We need your help to fight back.
The 23 million-acre petroleum reserve on the North Slope was set aside as an emergency oil supply, originally for the U.S. Navy, by President Warren Harding.
In 1976, in accordance with the Naval Petroleum Reserves Production Act, administration of the reserve was transferred to the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and renamed the NPR-A.
President Joe Biden is on the verge of locking down half of it, making it unavailable for oil and gas development. He intends to do so with a new rule that is proposed by the Biden Administration through the Bureau of Land Management, a division of the Department of Interior.

There's no way to sugarcoat that. The Biden administration told the Iranians it was acceptable to attack "within certain limits." Were those limits adhered to? That's something only the president and his handlers can answer (and never will), but given their rush to demand Israel not strike back, it would seem probable that everything went according to plan. //

That may be true, but there is another possibility which is at least equally unsettling: there’s a “balanced” foreign policy mindset among a good deal of the DC elites, that requires their definition of all competing interests getting what they decide is a proper share. Part of this has to do with crackpot notions of proportionality, part of it is a craven hope that by carefully managing everything, stability, if not outright peace will be maintained. These wise f*ls actually think they are clever and orchestrating a grand scheme, all while fluffing their own egos and feathering their own nests. While the truth is they are weak and stupd.
So it’s not so much they are being blackmailed, although that’s possible, but more likely they are literally giving it away for free.
But then a disturbing report came out that the reason the U.S. had such good intel about an Iranian attack on Israel was because it was Iran who tipped the Biden team off. But they told the U.S. that they would consider it limited and not escalate if Israel didn't respond. The Biden team told Israel they would not be involved in an offensive attack on Iran and was encouraging Israel not to respond, to "take the win" from their good defensive response to the attack. They were also leaking about the discussions to the media, undercutting Israel and saying they didn't know if Israel would sit back after being attacked. //
Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Turkey that any action it took had to be "within certain limits." Basically, you were having Joe Biden green-lighting the attack.
the 1906 Antiquities Act. The century-plus-old law allows the commander-in-chief to unilaterally place additional public lands under enhanced federal protections by executive order.
While a national park is a large swath of land protected by an act of Congress, land with a “national monument” designation protects a “specific natural, cultural or historic feature.” The 1906 law, however, requires that the area preserved must be “the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected.”
President Obama had a habit of violating the law’s mandates to establish quasi-national parks without congressional approval. President Biden is carrying on the tradition. //
Designating public lands under monument status strips the multiple-use mandate that allows residents to capitalize and more freely recreate on public property.
What is the Biden administration doing to prevent this catastrophe? It's pulling out the same playbook it used in its attempt to stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Specifically, all of these leaks to major news outlets like The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg are purposeful and are meant to signal to Iran that we know when, where, and what they are going to do. Taking away the element of surprise can be a powerful tool in war. That's where the idea that Tehran "may temper the size and scope" of its attack in response to these revelations comes from.
As we know, that didn't work with Russia. They moved into Ukraine anyway, and Biden's weakness across the globe no doubt played a role in that. Ask yourself, what has changed since then? Is there any reason for Iran to believe a retaliatory strike from the United States would be anything more than blowing up some warehouses in the deserts of Syria? //
With the U.S. on the Brink of War With Iran, the Biden Administration Tries One Last, Desperate Ploy

At the end of Donald Trump's presidential term, Iran was nearing an economic collapse with little ability to project strength outside of funding terrorist proxies. Internal revolutions were brewing, and the Mullahs were in their weakest position in decades.
Then Joe Biden took over. Since then Iran has been revitalized, seeing significant growth in its military budget due to the waiving of sanctions. The Islamic power has also come far closer to developing usable nuclear weapons. What did the United States get in return? It received a frayed relationship with long-time ally Saudia Arabia and absolute chaos from Kabul to Tel Aviv.
Wherever Biden's foreign policy has been, abject failure has followed. One can't help but laugh at this post from his 2020 presidential campaign.
Biden always has the "answers" until he's actually in charge, and his weakness has begotten aggression. As RedState reported in the early morning on Friday, Iran is preparing to attack Israel directly, a move that would draw the United States into a broader war.

American military forces are already being positioned to respond.

Again, when you spend years fluffing and empowering an Islamic dictatorship for no logical reason (which points to something more nefarious behind the scenes), the consequences are predictable. Biden's strategy against Russia before it invaded Ukraine, holding off on sanctions in an attempt to appease Moscow, turned out to be a colossal mistake. The president is repeating that mistake by continuing to waive sanctions on Iran instead of taking a hardline before the missiles start flying.
There is considerably more economic leverage to be exerted over Iran due to its position compared to Russia. Instead of using it, Biden is running the same formerly failed play, desperately leaking tough talk to the press that our enemies no longer believe. The results may very well be predictable. Let's hope not. //

From the article, "Again, when you spend years fluffing and empowering an Islamic dictatorship for no logical reason (which points to something more nefarious behind the scenes), the consequences are predictable."
Yes, they are and here are the numbers from the WSJ 11/10/23: "Iran exported nearly 1.4 million barrels of oil per day in October, sustaining its average for 2023. This is up 80% from the 775,000 barrels per day Iran averaged under the Trump Administration’s 'maximum pressure' strategy...The Iranian surge in oil exports since President Biden took over has brought Iran an additional $32 billion to $35 billion, according to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies."
That was before Biden traded prisoners and unfroze $6 billion of Iranian assets.
More from the WSJ: "In 2020 the State Department assessed that Iran sends $100 million a year to Palestinian terrorist groups, arming and training them to attack Israel and murder its civilians as Hamas did Oct. 7. Citing an Israeli security source, Reuters reports that Iran’s funding for Hamas ballooned in the past year to $350 million. Hamas’s new capabilities took Israel and the U.S. by surprise, but they didn’t come from nowhere."
It's hard not to loathe this administration.
Smirnov reached out to Grassley in 2022 to inform him about the FD-1023 document, which detailed the alleged bribery scheme.
The FD-1023 document includes Smirnov’s claims that Burisma executives paid $5 million to Joe Biden and $5 million to Hunter Biden, while Joe Biden was still in office as vice president. Smirnov also claims that the Bidens were paid so that Joe Biden could help to quash criminal investigation into Burisma being conducted by then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.
The letter notes that the indictment “leaves many questions unanswered,” which includes,
“how the Justice Department and FBI could use this Confidential Human Source for approximately 14 years, pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars, use this information in investigations and prosecutions, and the ultimately determine he’s a liar.”
The ongoing intention of Joe Biden’s administration, including the shadowy foreign sources paying off his family, those in media and elsewhere either knowingly or blindly supporting his narrative, and the unidentified puppeteers pulling his strings and telling him what to do, is definitely to weaken and potentially destroy the unique soul of this country.
The ultimate goal, one could guess, could be to replace it with something else, something more malleable and totalitarian. Or maybe the goal is simply to enjoy the power, the perqs, and watching things crumble.
That is a serious allegation. I will detail the compelling evidence below.
