Joe Biden on Saturday delivered remarks at the 2023 Human Rights Campaign National Dinner.
As usual, Biden’s speech was full of gaffes and lies.
“We made human rights for LGBT around the world a top priority of my foreign policy … defending human rights in countries to pass anti-gay laws!” Biden shouted.
He also repeated the dubious claim that he once saw two men kissing each other on a street corner in Delaware in the 1950s. “I was raised by a man who was a really decent honorable man,” Biden said.

The Israeli government announced Saturday that it is preparing to expand its military response to Hamas with a “coordinated attack from the air, sea, and land.”
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on its website that forces will ramp up the response to the deadly Hamas terror attack on Israel with an “emphasis on a significant ground operation.” In the past few days, the Israeli forces have transferred combat equipment and tools and have prepared IDF battalions for the “next stages of the war.” “[T]he IDF forces, backed by an extensive logistical effort and completing the reserve mobilization of hundreds of thousands of servicemen,
Joe Biden on Saturday delivered remarks at the 2023 Human Rights Campaign National Dinner.
As usual, Biden’s speech was full of gaffes and lies.
Biden repeated the dubious claim that he once saw two men kissing each other on a street corner in Delaware in the 1950s.
This is one of Biden’s favorite lies (he has many).“I was raised by a man who was a really decent honorable man,” Biden said. “I remember, he was dropping me off, I wanted to be – I wanted to work in the projects as a lifeguard in east side Wilmington….and as I got out of the car…two men…they leaned up and kissed one another and
A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claims the Palestinian terror group Hamas is engaged in an “active effort” to prevent Gaza’s population from evacuating to the southern area of the strip.
“We see an active effort by Hamas to block and prevent the population from going south. Hamas wants to show the world that it has casualties and dead,” IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said, the Times of Israel reported.“We continue to urge the residents of Gaza City, go south… Hamas wants you as human shields… This is for your personal safety,” the spokesperson added, according to the outlet. “We are going to attack very widely
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian publicly warned Israel of an attack by Lebanon based Hezbollah that would cause a “huge earthquake” in response to Israel’s attacks on Hamas controlled Gaza after Hamas slaughtered over 1,300 Israelis and kidnapped 150 last Saturday in a surprise attack. Amir-Abdollahian also privately warned Israel via the UN that Iran would intervene if Israel invades Gaza, according to Axios. (Photo) Amir-Abdollahian made his threats while on a diplomatic visit in Beirut, Lebanon on Saturday where he met with Hamas and Palestinian leaders and (separately) UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland.
Pro-Palestine college activists harassed a journalist covering their protest and allegedly demanded to know her ethnicity as tensions on US campuses continue to escalate in the wake of the Middle East conflict.
Kassy Dillon, a video journalist with Fox News, said she was targeted after leaving an anti-Israel protest at the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus.
'As I was leaving, two guys kept asking me my ethnicity,' she tweeted on Thursday. 'When I got into my car, I was approached by a group of the protesters demanding to know my address and phone number.'
Two years after Congress authorized a hugely expensive bailout of state and local governments as part of a COVID-era emergency spending bill, most of the money still hadn't been spent.
Perhaps the bailout wasn't even needed in the first place?
In a new report, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that states (including Washington, D.C.) had spent just 45 percent of the funding they had received through the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program, a $350 billion line item within the $2 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which passed in March 2021. Local governments had reported spending just 38 percent of their funds received through the same program.
You Cannot Coexist With Evil

To use an expression that politicians love when covering their lies, let me be perfectly clear: Israel cannot coexist with evil. It’s just that simple. The Apostle Paul put it this way:
“Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14
[snip] most secular moderns are happy to go along and get along. But Israel’s neighbors aren’t the slightest bit interested in coexistence. Their recent actions show the utter evil of their hearts.

Former President Trump has held a slight lead in the RealClearPolitics Average of the polls since around September 11. While his lead is well within the margin of error, Democrats find it disconcerting that Biden is struggling against Trump.

North Carolina Republicans in the state legislature overrode Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s vetoes on two election integrity bills, passing the bills into law. (snip)
In August, when Cooper vetoed the bills, he claimed that Republicans were being racist with passing SB 747, saying, “If you are black or brown, Republicans really don’t want you to vote.”
House Speaker Tim Moore said Cooper was “mischaracterizing a bill that simply strengthens election integrity in North Carolina.”
Israelis have razed a Palestinian pizzeria to the ground after it used a picture of a kidnapped grandmother in a mocking advert. A bulldozer could be seen ramming into the building and pulling it apart while reversing in a video recorded in the West Bank town of Huwara.
The order to destroy the pizzeria was given by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) central command.
The advert appeared to mock an elderly woman kidnapped by terrorists a week ago during Hamas's attack on Israel, showing an image of her next to a photo of a pizza.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says he can beat Trump 😂…. Nikki Haley says, no, DeSantis is a diminishing meatball now; only her neocon curriculum vitae is strong enough to go against Godzilla Trump. Team DeSantis scoffs… Team Haley sneers…. Can you imagine being a billionaire stupid enough to subject themselves to this nonsense?
The R.A.T coalition (Republicans Against Trump) is so desperate, they held a strategy session with DeSantis and Haley to decide which one of them would carry the banner of most approved & purchased candidate. And the candidates each thought this was a good thing.
Hamas is too embroiled in its perverse cycle of barbarity to understand it is perpetuating its own public-relations nightmare. The events of the past week have made it abundantly clear -- even to brainwashed celebrities -- the true nature of Hamas’ endgame.
They have jolted many of the A-List celebrities out of their CNN-induced comas to condemn the atrocities of Hamas. The violence unleashed by Hamas was best viewed from the vantage point of the terrorists who brazenly filmed or live-streamed their grisly crimes.
The Nazis attempted to keep a lid on their atrocities, but Hamas had a different strategy in mind. One can only guess at the mentality behind the terrorists
House Democrat leaders view House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), the leading candidate for Speaker of the House, as an “insurrectionist” and an “extremist extraordinaire.”
“House Republicans have selected as their nominee to be the Speaker of the people’s House the chairman of the chaos caucus, a defender in a dangerous way of dysfunction, and an extremist extraordinaire,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, (D-NY) said on Friday.

As if visiting a Disney theme park wasn’t already outrageously expensive, the Walt Disney Company is once again hiking the price of admission to Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland in Anaheim, with certain passes skyrocketing by as much as 21 percent.
Disney is also jacking up the price of parking in Orlando from $25 to $30, or 20 percent.
The eye-popping increases, which take effect immediately, represent Disney’s latest attempt to juice revenue amid faltering financials that have left the once invincible company in disarray.

An instructor at Stanford University has been suspended for his abhorrent treatment of Jewish students, in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attacks on civilians, during a required undergraduate course called “Civil, Liberal and Global Education.” The university’s president and provost called the incident an “identity-based targeting” of students.
According to CBS News, the instructor, who has not been named by the University, has been removed from teaching duties after reportedly made Jewish students stand in a corner with their belongings while he delivered a rant belittling the genocide of millions of Jews in the Holocaust.
The brutal terror attack that Hamas launched against Israel last week is intensifying Republican concerns about what they see as an unsecured border and a historic migrant crisis that has left Border Patrol agents overwhelmed.

The Biden administration is offering federal assistance to certain states for the closure of low-producing oil and gas wells. Funding comes from the Inflation Reduction Act’s $350 million program called the Mitigating Emissions from Marginal Conventional Wells.
The grant opened up in August, as announced by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy. The program was designed to “help monitor and reduce methane emissions, one of the biggest drivers of climate change, from the oil and gas sector and for environmental restoration of well sites.” Last week, Wyoming opted not to pursue federal funding from the program, with Gov. Mark Gordon (R-WY) stating he believes the offer undermines

Israel’s air force is getting more U.S.-made bombs to help it destroy the labyrinth of tunnels used by Hamas militants in Gaza to conceal weapons, fighters and hostages. In the aftermath of Hamas’ surprise attack across Israel’s southern border on Oct. 7, Israel has carried out a relentless bombardment of Gaza to try to take out Hamas’ weapons stockpiles and its vast tunnel system. But Israeli ground forces likely will be needed to clear out the tunnel network known as “Gaza’s Metro,” according to former U.S. officials and military officers.

Reporter Over Charges of Racism Regarding Immigration replies
A British reporter became visibly angry in the face of a Polish MP explaining why his country hasn't allowed illegal immigration under the guise of refugee status, an issue that continues to swamp most other European nations.
Cathy Newman, who many may recognize as the same reporter whom Jordan Peterson famously embarrassed in 2018, was practically wagging her finger at Dominik Tarczyski, demanding to know how many "refugees" Poland had taken in. His answer left her fuming and calling him a racist. He then let her know exactly how much he cares about those kinds of charges.
NEWMAN: How many refugees has Poland taken?
TARCZYSKI: Zero.
NEWMAN: And you're proud of that?
Experts predict a million refugees might flee the Gaza Strip amid the war between Israel and Hamas, and socialists and far-left lawmakers said America should welcome them.
“Fifty percent of the population in Gaza are children. The international community as well as the United States should be prepared to welcome refugees from Palestine while being very careful to vet and not allow members of Hamas,” said Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a New York member of the Socialist-Democratic “Squad” who remains under investigation for pulling a fire alarm in the House Cannon Office Building earlier this month.
BEIRUT (AP) — Iran’s foreign minister on Saturday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, warning that the war might expand to other parts of the Middle East if Hezbollah joins the battle, and that would make Israel suffer “a huge earthquake.”
Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has taken all the scenarios of a war into consideration and Israel should stop its attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed on Saturday evening that the military is poised to conduct a multi-pronged attack on the terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The military is readying to “expand the offensive,” instituting a “wide range of offensive operational plans” that include a “joint and coordinated attack from the air, sea and land.”
The IDF noted that it is nearing the end of its activation of reservists, which has seen hundreds of thousands mobilize ahead of the imminent invasion. The IDF has called up a record 360,000 reservists since last Saturday, tens of thousands of whom have massed along the Gazan border.

Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in the country’s constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.
Saturday’s voice to parliament referendum failed, with the defeat clear shortly after polls closed.

Washington—Ethical concerns are casting a shadow over President Joe Biden as he seeks reelection amid investigations into his son Hunter and an impeachment inquiry, with a poll showing that 35% of U.S. adults believe the president himself has done something illegal.
An additional 33% say they think the Democratic president behaved unethically, but not illegally. And 30% say Joe Biden did nothing wrong, according to the poll. The results of the survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research reflect both a vast political divide and skepticism about the morality of government leaders.

Things are tense all over these days, and Capitol Hill is no exception. As House Republicans struggle to settle on a Speaker to replace Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), against the backdrop of war in the Middle East, we see wild scenes unfolding like Rep. George Santos (R-NY) getting into a shouting match with anti-Israel protestors, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) sheepishly avoiding reporter Hillary Vaughn's pointed questions about whether she supports Israel's right to defend itself in response to reports of Hamas terrorists beheading and burning babies.
One of the reasons for the focus on Tlaib is her abysmal response to the vicious attacks by Hamas in Israel.
Palestinian citizens of Israel have faced assaults, harassment, and discrimination since Saturday's terrorist attacks by Hamas, a local activist told Insider. Jafar Farah, the director of the Mossawa Center, which advocates for Palestinians in Israel, said in an interview on Thursday that the nonprofit has received a growing number of reports citing physical attacks, hate speech, workplace discrimination, and bias against Palestinians in Israel since Hamas, a Palestinian militant group, launched its surprise assault on the Jewish state.

In March, Rep.

Up to 100 protesters have been arrested at a Pro-Palestine demonstration outside the Brooklyn home of Jewish Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer.
The protesters called for an end to US aid for Israel on a day of mass protest in New York and around the world after the leader of Hamas called for a global 'day of outrage.'
Hundreds of people, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, gathered at the Grand Army Plaza before marching a short distance to the senator's Park Slope residence and blocking the street.
Newly-released documents reportedly found on the bodies of dead Hamas terrorists involved in Saturday’s attack on Israel show that the group intentionally targeted schools, and planned to kill civilians, along with taking hostages.
NBC News reported:
Documents exclusively obtained by NBC News show that Hamas created detailed plans to target elementary schools and a youth center in the Israeli kibbutz of Kfar Sa’ad, to “kill as many people as possible,” seize hostages and quickly move them into the Gaza Strip.
The attack plans, which are labeled “top secret” in Arabic, appear to be orders for two highly trained Hamas units
Israeli bodies were located during a raid on Gaza carried out by forces under the command of the 7th Armoured Brigade, on Friday night.
