No matter its stated reasons, no matter how misguided its policy, the United States administration, advised by its historically anti-Israel Department of State, is putting severe pressure on Israel to stop fighting Hamas in Gaza, without permitting it first to achieve its war aim of complete destruction of this threat to its existence. They are doing it without regard for the consequences to Israel, its population, and to the Western world. Given the arrogance of the Biden administration’s dictating a suicidal wartime policy to an allied government which must answer to its own people,

One of the ways wars stop is when one side or the other exhausts its resources. Either in terms of money, materials or lives it eventually has to run out. Only it doesn't. Now with modern alliances they never have to worry about running out of anything. And the war goes on forever. And the defense contractors and politicians live high on the hog while their people are ground into hamburger.

Israel has a lot of prisoners. at some time they will have to turn those prisoners loose. They will go back to Gaza and despite all promises of peace they will plan another uprising. Israel can beat them back, but they will never disappear.

No need to speculate. Vietnam. Iraq. Afghanistan. Imperfect examples on several levels, and all misguided wars, but we "lost" them all, even with a "non-woke" military. The next one will be much worse.

The problem with that reasoning is that those who ask Israel to stop fighting are looking at her as Japan the aggressor rather than the US.

Everybody hated Japan back in 1942 because of their surprise attacks that killed thousands and their rape of China that saw good people slaughtered like animals. Japan had no friends but Hamas has thousands of useful idiots to love and support them. The difference? Please see the Koran.

It's important to note that when Obama's underlings were considering what to do about UBL (who had been located in Abbottabad), the only one who opposed taking out the al-Qaeda chieftain was VP Joe Biden. Everyone else in the room said, "Whack him." Biden is a worse CIC than even Carter because he loves America's enemies more than he loves America.

Outstanding analogy, right on target. And, by extension....anyone suggesting the USA stop its aggression on Japan back then would have been (correctly) labeled a Nazi/Axis sympathizer, and enemy of America and the Allies. Therefore...anyone suggesting that Israel stop its retaliation on Hamas is anti-semitic, and sympathizing the genocide that Hamas perpetrated on Oct 7, 2023, and an enemy of human civilization in general. IMO, that is an apt description of Islam in general, but will save that for another rant.

In our Nation's history, it was fairly common for high-ranking military officers (Generals and Admirals) to become politicians, most famously starting with POTUS #1, George Washington. During the long, bloody Vietnam War, we saw the rise of politicians acting as if they were - or had been - generals. LBJ, who was briefly a Naval Lt. Commander during WWII, but saw no combat, later chose, or otherwise approved or rejected targets to be struck in Vietnam from the Whitehouse, and we saw how that war turned out. Nixon was a Commander during WWII, in the Navy Reserve, without combat experience. 24 years later, he orders the invasion of Cambodia in an effort to shut down the North Vietnamese main supply line to South Vietnam, the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Our last president with actual combat experience was GHW Bush, 41, a Naval Aviator in the Pacific during WWII. Bush flew 58 combat missions, piloting an Avenger torpedo bomber into the teeth of Japanese anti-aircraft fire that knocked him out of the sky twice.

Does the author mean like the way we were asked to stop fighting the North Korean Communists in the 1950's and then to stop fighting the North Vietnamese Communists in the 1970's. So, we DID stop in both cases, and yeah, we saw how those nations worked out, huh?

Law enforcement officials admitted it was “surprising” how the gunman was able to get so many shots off in the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump before he was taken out by Secret Service snipers. During a press conference early Sunday, officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police deferred several questions about security to the Secret Service — who were notably absent. When asked if he was surprised at the number of shots the gunman was able to take at a former president, Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, said:

[Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN-sponsored body that is responsible for monitoring the mullahs' nuclear programme] also warned that it could take Iran just a month or so for the Iranians to assemble a nuclear warhead, given the progress they have made in recent months in their enrichment programme. The acknowledgement by an internationally respected body such as the IAEA that Iran has now acquired sufficient material to build several nuclear warheads, which could be assembled within the space of a month, is a devastating indictment of the Biden administration's policy of appeasement towards Iran since US President Joe Biden took office.

July 12, 1979, is a date that lives in baseball infamy. It is also a turning point in modern music history. That the two converged on the ball field on the Southwest side of Chicago is strange indeed.

Former first lady Melania Trump will attend the Republican National Convention next week in Milwaukee, according to two people familiar with her plans who spoke Friday on condition of anonymity before full details were released. Melania Trump has largely refrained from public appearances, noticeably missing key moments such as former President Donald Trump’s Super Tuesday victory party and his 78th birthday party last month. She also did not accompany the presumptive Republican presidential nominee on any of the days of his more than monthlong hush money trial in New York.

A House Democrat directly asked President Biden to end his campaign for a second term on a Friday conference call meant to shore up support among Hispanic party members in Congress — the most direct known request by an elected lawmaker for the 81-year-old to give up his re-election bid. The request by Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.) prompted call organizer Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.) to rapidly end the Zoom meeting, after she had already ignored a request to speak from Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.), the Albritton Journalism Institute reported. Perez, 36, has asked Biden to resign as president in addition to handing off the nomination.

Speculation is swirling around President Biden’s political fate — and over who might replace him on the Democratic ticket this fall should he decide to drop out of the race. Biden has insisted he’s in it to win it, and Vice President Harris would have the inside track on becoming the party’s standard-bearer, but Democratic concerns are growing that his candidacy could cost them the White House and House majority this fall. Though a highly anticipated Thursday evening press conference after the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., was seen as a better performance for Biden than in recent weeks, the president still stumbled at several points with multiple notable gaffes.

The controversial news boss, who was named president just last August, is exiting after she made headlines in February over the firing of Catherine Herridge, a respected senior investigative reporter who had been doggedly covering the Hunter Biden laptop story for the network. At the time, media insiders speculated that Herridge’s exit was linked to her reporting that President Biden may have kept evidence that he had foreign business dealings while in office.

The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post. Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh. Sources said Crooks was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds. He was killed by Secret Service snipers. An AR-style rifle was later recovered. Bethel Park is a village 40 miles south of where the Butler rally was held. Why Crooks fired on the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is unclear.

An analysis of the 2024 presidential election by FiveThirtyEight found that while the election was close, President Joe Biden was still favored to win, despite his poor debate performance. FiveThirtyEight found that Biden was favored to win the November presidential election “50 times out of 100,” whereas former President Donald Trump was favored to win the presidential election “49 times out of 100.” The predicted outcomes were a result of FiveThirtyEight’s “simulations of the 2024 presidential election.” Out of 1,000 simulations, FiveThirtyEight found that Biden won 505 times, while Trump won 491 times.

Former and potentially future President Donald Trump was shot at his rally in Butler County in Pennsylvania on Saturday night, an incident that could have been much worse had Trump turned his head a different way. Secret Service agents quickly sprang into action to escort him off of the stage and to safety. In light of such serious news, it's worth reminding that Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who was chairman of the January 6 Select Committee, just months ago introduced legislation to deny presidents who were convicted of felonies. Trump was ultimately convicted of 34 charges in New York City on May 30.
