The Middle East is on fire. Eastern Europe is gridlocked in war. America’s southern border looks like a scene out of “Mad Max.” And Southeast Asia is a tinderbox that could ignite with one wrong move. After four years of expanding peace under President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden is presiding over a world careening toward mayhem. “Mean tweets and world peace” has a nice ring to it. But it’s also worth exploring why Trump’s unorthodox approach to foreign affairs produced such markedly better results than Biden’s heralded return to normalcy. The current state of the Middle East — where most recently on Biden’s watch, Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, slaughtered

In answer to the philosophical question that the media attempted to answer for us during the period when Billy Jeff was frolicking with Monica Lewinski in the Oval Office and the White House bathroom, yes, character counts in a President. So does honesty, integrity, business sense, common sense and a reasonably high IQ, none of which can be found in Joseph Robinette Biden. The man is a selfish, lazy, greedy fool, a thief and a traitor. To question why the country is falling apart and affecting the world around it is to answer the obvious, he is not fit for the postion and the proof is all around us. Impeachment proceedings should have begun by now.

Notice the headline failed to mention Trump by name. Give the man his due! To compare Biden to Trump shows the massive difference between the two men. Biden is depraved, corrupt, mentally impaired and physically shot while Trump proves to be smart, savvy, principled in his vision of where he wants the country to go. He also is willing to stand and take the most vicious attacks from corrupt and vile individuals who through whatever means necessary are determined to put him in prison. The weight of these prosecutions must be massive but Trump charges forward determined to make this country great again. It is uncanny that every policy he enacted has proven to be good for this country while Joe just keeps digging a hole of destruction that we have never experienced before. Joe Biden is a savant in his ability to destroy anything good. From his personal life to his professional political career, he never fails to cheat, lie, defraud, or undermine this country. The world is in grave danger because of Joe Biden, the career politician. It took a non-politician to bring some sanity to Washington DC. President Trump’s success shames every single elected official in that corrupt city and that is why they hate him. He beat them at their own game.

People yearn for the days of media reported mean tweets, alleged chaos in the White House, and às reported by the media, a warmonger. If only we could go back to the Trump days when that supposed warmonger ushered in 4 years of peace and projected strength around the world. There was no chaos. Only the media interference in the success of a President.

Premodern Diversity vs. Civilizational Unity 5 replies

Few Romans in the late decades of their 5th-century A.D. empire celebrated their newfound "diversity" of marauding Goths, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Huns, and Vandals. These tribes en masse had crossed the unsecured Rhine and Danube borders to harvest Roman bounty without a care about what had created it. Their agendas were focused on destroying the civilization they overran rather than peacefully integrating into and perpetuating the Empire. Ironically, Rome's prior greatness had been due to the extension of citizenship to diverse people throughout Europe, North Africa, and Asia.

Saudi Arabia is holding on to its ultimatum that foreign companies will need to base their regional headquarters in the kingdom or be barred from lucrative government contracts. The deadline: Jan. 1, 2024. In a bold surprise move back in February 2021, the Saudi government announced that it would, by 2024, cease doing business with any international companies whose regional headquarters were not based within the country. The news stunned investors and expat workers, many of whom saw the move as a shot at Dubai, the United Arab Emirates commercial capital that is home to the highest concentration of Middle East regional headquarters.

Hamas have set up their main base beneath Gaza's biggest hospital, Israel claims, as it announced it expects 'a long and difficult ground offensive' will begin soon. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said there is 'concrete evidence' to suggest Shifa hospital in Gaza City is a Hamas base of operations. Its spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that 'hundreds of terrorists flooded into the hospital to hide there after the massacre of October 7'. He said it is 'one of many' hospitals being used by the terror group and that they chose it to 'exploit innocent Gazan civilians as human shields'. He also noted that Hamas is using fuel stored in

The overwhelming media narrative these past three weeks has been that Republicans cannot govern because, after 18 rounds of voting in less than a year, they could not pick a speaker of the House — the chamber in which they hold majority control. The political bed-wetting among Republicans in Washington sounded just as dire. “We are going to lose 25 seats over our inability to pick a speaker!” they squealed. The Republican Party has just earned its place in the permanent minority — forever, they cried. But the media narrative and professional Republican caterwauling, as usual, is completely wrong. Sure, the last few weeks have been embarrassing

Sidney Powell, the one-time Trump legal adviser — who famously failed to “release the Kraken” that would overturn the 2020 election — has flipped. This news has been greeted with great glee in the usual circles. Ahhh, salivated the New York Times. “Sidney Powell’s Plea Deal Could Be a Threat to Trump.” Hurrah! “Sidney Powell was Trump’s biggest ‘fighter.’ Now she’s a big threat,” trumpeted the Washington Post. But like Powell, they are always promising a Kraken that will never come. They dream that Powell’s testimony will deliver a lethal blow to Trump and his embattled former attorney Rudy Giuliani. However, for anyone who paid attention to Giuliani’s testimony

The FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force used a sham assessment opened by FBI headquarters to cull reporting from confidential human sources (CHS) throughout the country related to the Biden family and then falsely brand the intelligence as “foreign disinformation,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed Wednesday. Wednesday’s explosive news suggests the DOJ and FBI’s Biden-family protection program encompassed many more players than previously known. But it is the involvement of the Foreign Influence Task Force that demands an immediate response by the House, namely the launching of an impeachment inquiry of FBI Director Christopher Wray

The white smoke billowed from atop the Capitol Rotunda, informing the masses that we have a Speaker of the House. Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) was elected on Wednesday on a party-line vote. Amid the jubilation that the 22-day grinding halt of the House of Representatives has now ended, it’s worth remembering that electing a Speaker is the easy part. The decision of who will lead the majority caucus in the House has mostly never been in doubt for the entire history of the Republic. What that leader does is the more fraught question, and the situation Johnson faces is in no way easier than what now-backbencher Kevin McCarthy had to deal

A new poll found that nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers blame President Biden for the migrant crisis, raising national security, financial and other concerns in the Empire State. According to a Sienna College poll released Tuesday, 64% of New Yorkers disapprove of the job Biden is doing to address the recent influx of migrants in the state as of October. That includes 48% of Democrats who flunk Biden for his handling of the crisis, 91% of Republicans and 72% of independents. The poll found 46% of New Yorkers disapprove and just 30% approve of how New York City Mayor Eric Adams has addressed the influx of migrants

In presidential elections there’s no such thing as a Pyrrhic victory. Winning is everything — and neither party would ever openly admit there could be advantages to losing. Yet the outcome of the 2020 election wasn’t entirely unlucky for the Republican Party or even Donald Trump himself. And as both parties look to next year’s contest, far-sighted strategists can see a bigger picture beyond Trump and Biden. Whoever won in 2020 was going to face the ugly but necessary task of withdrawing US forces from Afghanistan, where twenty years of nation-building had failed to establish a free state that could resist the Taliban. Trump might have executed the withdrawal more successfully

His arrogance is outrageous, even by celebrity standards, but some of the things that come out of his mouth are so daft that I cannot abide giving him even one minute of validation. Case in point?

Joe Biden’s Green Energy Flop: Automakers
Realize Americans Are Not Buying Electric Vehicles

Posted by Dreadnought 10/28/2023 3:39:20 PM Post Reply
After investing billions into a green energy agenda mimicking President Joe Biden’s federal rules, American automakers are quickly learning that Americans are not buying electric vehicles (EVs) at the rates they expected. A comprehensive report in the Detroit Free Press details how the latest data reveals that while the Biden administration is pushing hard for automakers to turn out EVs, car companies are unable to sell the models. Data from Edmunds.com shows that in September 2022, for example, EVs sat on dealership lots for just 21 days before they were sold. Today, EVs are sitting on dealership lots for 65 days. Automakers, as Breitbart News reported, are well aware of the issue.

Thousands gathered in Istanbul on Saturday for what was touted as the “Great Palestine Meeting.” The event was a pro-Palestine rally aimed at condemning Israel’s recent military actions in Gaza, where Hamas headquarters are located. Hamas terrorists were responsible for a deadly attack that claimed the lives of 1,400 Jews in southern Israel. One must ask the question: What did people expect Israel to do in response? Not retaliate? When an entity like Hamas, designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel, engages in violent acts aimed at killing civilians, it is not only Israel’s right but also its obligation to defend its citizens.

The project began in 2021 and is ongoing, but the initial analysis determined samples to contain clayey and marine materials and seafood. According to the researchers, these results mean human activity was present on the boat-shaped mound between 5500 and 3000 BC.

One of the few specific requests I publicly posted for Mike Johnson as his vote to be the new Speaker was approaching was for him to commit to separating the three foreign aid requests that Joe Biden and many members of Congress had constructed to force them all together into a “must pass” bill. While I never saw him make that exact promise during the nomination process, it now appears that my wish will be granted. We haven’t seen a specific bill yet, but Johnson’s first move was to pass an endorsement of Israel and a denouncement of Hamas terrorism, which was a good sign. He will also need

OAKLAND, Calif. - An earthquake rolled across the Bay Area Friday night with residents from multiple Bay Area cities reporting they felt the shake. The United States Geological Survey originally estimated the quake at a 4.0 magnitude with an epicenter near Millbrae. It was upgraded shortly after to a 4.1 before being downgraded to a 3.9 and 3.7 magnitude quake. The temblor rattled through the area at 6:38 p.m. Inspectors at San Francisco International Airport said there are no reports of damage to the runways.

Google's revenue from search advertising came in at $146.4 billion in 2021, while the payments for the default setting were its biggest cost, Raghavan was mentioned as saying in the Bloomberg report.
