Joe Biden’s crumbling relationship with
Benjamin Netanyahu could easily turn into
an all-out disaster
Posted By: Moritz55, 12/17/2023 1:34:36 PM
Over the many years they have been in the public eye, Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu were never friends and rarely allies. Their fundamental political differences were compounded by years of long-distance disagreement. Then suddenly, terrorism brought them together in something of a shotgun wedding. Biden visited Israel just 11 days after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack where he and Netanyahu embraced in an awkward, aborted hug. In hindsight, that appears to have been the high point of their new relationship. It’s been downhill ever since and the gap between them is growing at an alarming pace. Headlines from recent days illustrate the tensions:

Joe Biden has not only promised to veto any standalone Israeli aid, but he’s reportedly circulating a draft resolution within the United Nations Security Council that would compel the Jewish state to stop its ground offensive in Rafah and, effectively, give Hamas a pass. Beyond that, the U.S. is also reportedly thinking about circumventing Israel and formally recognizing a Palestinian state.
In other words, while Ukraine is prodded by the United States to fight for every inch of its land, Israel is prodded to commit suicide. Indeed, anyone who dares to suggest the United States push Ukraine to negotiate a settlement with Russia is framed as a democracy-hating Putin shill.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz caused a stir with an almost casual statement: "My goal is that we finance the expenditure for the Bundeswehr from the general budget once the special fund has expired," he told the Süddeutsche Zeitung daily a few days ago.
The "special fund" is the €100 billion ($108 bn) established two years ago, after Russia's full-fledged invasion of Ukraine. The fund is a special loan taken out to strengthen the German military. Ammunition has been procured and expensive weapons systems have been ordered.
Current estimates say that money will likely be used up by 2027.
If you didn’t see Tucker Carlson’s interview last week with Mike Benz, you need to take an hour and watch the whole thing. In a mind-bending narrative about the emergence of what Benz calls “military rule” through an online censorship industry in the U.S., he lays out in startling detail just how corrupt and tyrannical the U.S. defense and foreign policy establishment has become.
Most importantly, Benz, the executive director of the Foundation For Freedom Online, explains how a constellation of federal agencies and publicly funded institutions, under the pretext of countering “misinformation,” rigged the 2020 election and are right now smothering the First Amendment and rigging the 2024 election
Two Los Angeles entrepreneurs called out President Biden’s decision to prioritize campaigning for re-election over addressing the issues plaguing the Golden State. Business owners Paul Scrivano and Daniel Lobell, joined "Fox & Friends First," Tuesday, to express frustration over the president’s lack of action on rising crime and unprecedented levels of homelessness.
"What they should do is tour him through Los Angeles; see the scum, see the graffiti, see the swill on the streets, see the homeless people, not go into some rich guy’s dining room for an hour and a half and take $25,000 photos," Scrivano told co-host Todd Piro. "It’s a joke."
The hand-wringing among Democratic Party leaders seems to have subsided. Some quiet resignation may have set in while a few cockeyed optimists spin fanciful routes to a Biden victory, but the reality is that the Biden candidacy is on the ropes.
Biden’s approval ratings are historically low for a sitting president since 1950 seeking election. Each of the prior eleven presidents in that position, including four who lost (Trump being one), began the election year with at least 45% approval in Gallup. Biden’s at the year’s start was only 41% and has been short of 45% for more than two years. He fares no better in preference polls. He trails Trump
Georgia lawmakers are taking aim at Atlanta's squatting crisis with a proposed bill that would make the act a clear criminal offense in the Peach State as neighborhoods around the metro area continue to assess the situation with tied hands. Approximately 1,200 homes have been taken over by squatters, according to the National Rental Home Council trade group, but with local law enforcement bound by tenant rights laws, homeowners have limited options to reclaim their property.
HB 1017, the Georgia Squatter Reform Act, aims to make that process easier.
In his press conference following the report on his retention of classified documents, Joe Biden lashed out at special counsel Robert Hur for saying the president has such “diminished faculties,” it would be difficult to criminally charge him.
One of the key and scripted moments was Biden angrily denouncing Hur for raising his son’s death.
Many in the media eagerly replayed the clip the next day, calling Hur’s question outrageous, callous and unprofessional. But NBC reports it was not Hur but Biden himself who raised Beau Biden’s death. In the disastrous press conference, Biden went on the attack, asking, “How in the hell dare he raise that?

The Biden administration is reportedly taking its goal of a temporary cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war to the U.N. Security Council as early as Tuesday. The administration is said to have proposed a draft U.N. Security Council resolution which in part would call for a temporary cease-fire and call on Israel not to go into Rafah in the Gaza Strip.
According to Reuters, the U.S. text states in part that it "determines that under current circumstances a major ground offensive into Rafah would result in further harm to civilians and their further displacement including potentially into neighboring countries."
Complaints of "bed-wetting" are reportedly frustrating top Democrats who feel like their concerns are being brushed off by the Biden campaign as they demand the president and his team "need to be better." CNN reported on Sunday that Vice President Harris has been meeting with leading Democrats for some guidance on the Biden-Harris reelection effort as some members of the party who are concerned about their chances have been feeling "sloughed off" by the White House and the president's campaign.
"The bed-wetting complaints are running thin with people," one person who attended a meeting with Harris told the media outlet, referring to Democrat anxiety over the 2024.
A question an increasing number of voters are asking these days is a perfectly reasonable one: Who the hell is running the country right now?
In looking at President Biden’s schedule just last week alone, the answer to that basic question is as clear as Jersey’s swamps: On Tuesday, the 81-year-old delivered brief remarks on the Senate’s passage of a supplemental agreement.
When reporters attempted to ask questions afterward, Biden said he had to run but promised to take questions Wednesday or Thursday. That never happened, of course, and not because Biden had a stacked itinerary to contend with.
But here’s something more disconcerting: The commander in chief received
Hunter Biden has a train of a dozen lawyers defending him on felony indictments ranging from several counts of tax fraud to gun violations. From time to time, the contents of his laptop come up, both in these criminal trials and in civil suits. The information on the laptop is, of course, incriminating and useful to various prosecutors and litigants.
Yet Hunter himself is suing the computer repairman with whom he dropped off his laptop and never retrieved—and never paid—despite signing a waiver relinquishing ownership if and when in default of payment and claim.
Biden’s border blackmail

One week after Senate Republicans rejected White House-backed legislation that would have sent $3.7 billion to bail out sanctuary cities while also mandating the catch and release of all migrants arrested for illegally entering America from Mexico, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials threatened to release thousands more migrants into the U.S. by slashing capacity to detain them at the border.
This unveiled threat by President Joe Biden is despicable, but is also laughably empty, for the cuts he is threatening are to the exact levels his administration sought in his last budget.

“Presidental greatness” of the 45 Presidents of the United States, President Joe Biden emerged as the 14th-best President, while his anticipated 2024 presidential contender, former President Donald Trump, came in last place.
Known as the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey, the study was conducted by a group of leading experts specializing in the American presidency — including the current and recent members of the Presidents and Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association.
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley reaffirmed her commitment to remaining in the race on Tuesday, saying she’s “not going anywhere,” no matter what happens in the South Carolina GOP primary this weekend.
“South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I’ll still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere,” said Haley, who is down some 30 points in polling in her home state.
“I’m campaigning every day, until the last person votes, because I believe in a better America and a brighter future for our kids. Nothing good in life comes easy. I’m willing to take the cuts, the bruises, and the name calling. Because

Ever since transgender individuals have been allowed to participate in sporting events of the gender with which they identify, people with more than two fully functioning brain cells have been issuing warning after warning about the physical dangers posed to biological females by competition against biological males. Such warnings were met with cries of "bigot" and other such name-calling. However, case after case has emerged proving the concerns are completely valid.
A good case in point comes from a high school girls' basketball game that ultimately ended in a forfeit at halftime due to three girls suffering injuries
Local families in the predominantly black Roxbury neighborhood of Boston are furious after the city shut down the local community center to instead use it to house more of President Joe Biden’s illegal border crossers.
Roxbury’s Melnea A. Cass Recreational Community Center, which was once a meeting place for Little League ball players, volleyball games, and other sports and community events, has now been dedicated to rows of cots for illegal border crossers, CBS, WBZ-TV Boston reported.
WBZ interviewed pre-teen Jeremiah Rodriguez who showed up at the community center on Feb. 17 under the mistaken impression that his community baseball team was using the facility for batting practice.
Tyrannical leftist New York Attorney General Letitia James has revealed she is prepared to seize (steal) President Trump’s assets if he cannot pay the outrageous court fine as ordered by compromised Judge Arthur Engoron.
“If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets,” James told ABC News.
As the Gateway Pundit reported, Engoron fined Trump $355 million and banned him from doing business in New York City for the next three years. Engoron claimed Trump “participated in aiding and abetting the conspiracy to commit insurance fraud
After some deliberations, on February 14 the French government and National Assembly managed to pass a bill that includes an Article 4 that essentially creates a new crime of “provocation to abstention from medical care.”
It reads as follows:
Art. 223-1-2 . – Provocation to abandon or abstain from following therapeutic or prophylactic medical treatment is punishable by one year of imprisonment and a fine of 15,000 euros, when this abandonment or abstention is presented as beneficial for the health of the persons targeted when it is, in the state of medical knowledge

The bill now awaits final approval in the French Senate
Biden Pulls The Plug On EVs

When President Joe Biden issued regulations that he and his side of the political aisle hoped would eventually lead to electric vehicles replacing automobiles that burn gasoline and diesel fuel, it was regarded as a glorious moment. The backtracking, however, has begun, a welcome development we didn’t believe was possible from the man who once irresponsibly promised “to end fossil fuel.”
Unfortunately, it’s being done for the wrong reasons.
The New York Times reported over the weekend that the “administration intends to relax elements of one of its most ambitious strategies to combat climate change,
John Oliver, a late-night talk show host for HBO, is now being accused online of trying to bribe Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to leave his seat on the bench in exchange for a million dollars a year. In case you aren't familiar with John Oliver, he's a hardcore leftist. So you know what his motivation is for wanting to get rid of Thomas.
Liberals really, really hate conservatives. They also despise black conservatives. What really brings out their inherent racism is a black conservative who serves on the bench of the highest court in the country.
Two men have been charged with murder in the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting that killed one woman and injured more than 20 people last week.
The defendants were named by prosecutors as Dominic M. Miller of Kansas City and Lyndell Mays of Raytown. They each face charges of second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, according to a statement from the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office. "The defendants attended a Super Bowl parade and rally on Feb. 14, 2024, and were armed with firearms," the office said. "A verbal altercation occurred and gunfire broke out with no
Biden administration Sec. of State Antony Blinken told staffers at the State Department not to use "problematic" terms such as "manpower," "mother," and "father" in a memo.
According to a memo from the State Department obtained by the National Review, in early February, Blinken told staff about the dangers of "misgendering" as well as using terms that “can be problematic” such as "manpower" as well as “son/daughter" and “husband/wife.” (snip) Adding further on the topics of "gender," Blinken's note read that gender identity is the “innermost concept of self as masculine, feminine, a blend of both, or neither."
New York Times' publisher has revealed the White House said they have been unhappy at recent press coverage in the newspaper after a series of opinion articles focused on President Joe Biden's age and his unsuitability to run for a second term.
A.G. Sulzberger, 43, who has been publisher for the last six years, said the White House was 'extremely upset' - yet he insists the paper will 'continue to report fully and fairly.'
'We are going to continue to report fully and fairly, not just on Donald Trump but also on President Joe Biden,' he told the Reuters Institute in an interview.
Like all Rob Reiner movies, Rob Reiner’s documentary, God & Country: The Rise Of Christian Nationalism, didn’t just tank at the box office, it was humiliated.
In 85 theaters, Reiner’s bigoted attack on Christians who dared to vote for Donald Trump earned just $38,415 over four days. As one website put it, that’s “averaging $451 [per] theater over four days, which is incredibly low.” If you assume it only had “one showing each day (and likely it had several), it brought in around 112 dollars a day, or ten people a day spread across however many showings.”
