The United States, Egypt, and Qatar have finalized a cease-fire proposal to halt the ongoing Gaza war between Israel and Hamas after holding discussions in Doha over the last two days. The three nations released a joint statement on Friday announcing that they presented both sides of the conflict with a finalized cease-fire deal, and plan on holding discussions in Cairo next week to conclude the negotiations. The proposal is consistent with the principles President Joe Biden laid out in a three-part cease-fire plan on May 31, the statement says. “This proposal builds on areas of agreement over the past week, and bridges remaining gaps

Wow... announcing a cease fire "agreement" to which neither Israel or Hamas have agreed. Joe and Kamala at their finest.

How nice of three countries not involved in the conflict to negotiate a cease fire among themselves, but not yet presented it to the actual parties involved in the conflict. Hamas is only interested in a "cease fire" once the last Israeli is dead and gone. Israel will agree to a cease fire once the hostages have been safely returned and accounted for and their future safety is assured. Hamas will never agree to that. They can negotiate all they want, but unless the warring parties actually want the war to end, they are wasting their time.

That would be a big "no" from Israel!!!!!!! Hamas are sub-human slime. Until they are exterminated -- every single one of them -- and every hostage is returned alive, there will not be a "ceasefire"!!!!!! And once Hamas is all exterminated and all hostages returned, there won't be a need for a "ceasefire", since Israel will be happy to go back home.

There is no splitting the difference with Hamas. It is infuriating to see our government go forward pretending not to understand that.

The US, Egypt, and Qatar are all negotiating as if Hamas actually care about saving the lives of the Palestinian people. They are just disposable pawns to Hamas so a cease fire is not really a priority to them.

Agree with all of the above. The US, Egypt and Qatar diplomats are wasting their time flapping their jaws. Neither of the combatants wants a 'two state solution' that the yappers keep talking about. Hamas wants to kill all the Jews, and Israel wants the attacks to stop, which means eliminating Hamas and every one of it's violent supporters. But I bet those diplomats are staying in very nice, very expensive accommodations and eating at very nice, very expensive restaurants.....the US Taxpayers are footing the bill for ALL of it.

Biden's Former Chief of Staff Admits Kamala
Harris Vice Presidency Was a Failure

It’s not until you're somewhat deep into yet another mainstream media puff piece of Kamala Harris that you come across a rather startling admission by Joe Biden’s former chief of staff, Ron Klain. He basically admits that the Democrats’ nominee for president failed in her VP gig. The New York Times headline Sunday certainly might make you think that Harris had mastered the intricacies of the job: “A Vice Presidential Learning Curve: How Kamala Harris Picked Her Shots,” it reads. But after first describing how Harris was “deliberate and disciplined” despite the many pitfalls she faced as the first female vice president, the Times finally got to the point (emphasis mine):

srael has long been known to have a great intelligence apparatus; being a small nation surrounded by people who want you dead tends to sharpen your intelligence-gathering skills. Now we are presented with another example of just how good Israel is at information-gathering, as on July 30th, they used a ruse involving a mysterious phone call to lure a Hezbollah commander out of hiding to a location where he could be (and was) deleted by an airstrike. Israel lured out an elusive Hezbollah commander with a mysterious phone call moments before launching the deadly airstrike that would kill him and cause the terror group to vow revenge,

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that pressure — from the U.S. and from domestic opposition — for a hostage deal needs to be on Hamas, not the Israeli government, due to the terror group’s ongoing obstinacy. Netanyahu at the beginning of a meeting with his governing coalition, after negotiations wrapped up in Doha, Qatar, on Friday without Hamas representatives present. Hamas, under its new leader Yahya Sinwar, boycotted the talks. The Israeli government has been under pressure from the U.S. to agree to a deal — though it has already accepted the terms laid out by President Joe Biden in May.

She's back. Off-script Kamala Harris returned with a vengeance on Sunday providing several mock-worthy moments. Often compared to Julia Louis-Dreyfus' character on "Veep," Harris has long spun word salads and spoken nonsensically when she ventures off the teleprompter. Until this point, though, her astroturfed campaign (in which she won zero primary votes before becoming the nominee) was doing a relatively decent job wrapping her in political bubble wrap. She'd do some rallies with opening musical acts, read short speeches, and generally get nowhere near any situation that wasn't heavily produced and focus-grouped.

Vice President Harris is holding a narrow lead over former President Trump ahead of the Democratic National Convention next week, according to a new poll. The ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll found Harris has 49 percent of support among registered voters while Trump has 45 percent and 5 percent said they would back someone else. This shows Harris pulling ahead, as a previous ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted last month showed President Biden and Trump tied at 46 percent of support each. Harris also holds a thin lead over Trump when third-party candidates are added to the mix. The poll showed Harris with 47 percent of support, Trump with 44 percent

During an interview with Fox News’ Shannon Bream on Sunday, Vance discussed Harris’ stance on inflation and polling showing that she is slightly ahead of former President Donald Trump. Vance did not mince words when discussing how ridiculous Harris’ economic policies are.

Kamala Harris has a plan. It's supposed to be her "economic plan" but no one really believes she's serious about implementing it. If Harris believes it, we're in deep trouble. "My guess is that a lot of the things she said in the past about what she really wants to do, like the Green New Deal, for example… getting carbon-neutral by 2030 – all that kind of stuff would cause a deep recession toward carbon," former White House economist Kevin Hassett told Fox Business's "The Big Money Show" Thursday.

Vice President Kamala Harris laid out more than a dozen policy proposals on Friday aimed at lowering costs for middle-class Americans and supporting young families, marking her first attempt at laying out an economic agenda since becoming the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee. Harris’s campaign unveiled the policy proposals ahead of a speech in North Carolina on Friday afternoon, where she is expected to tout her economic agenda and contrast it with her 2024 GOP rival, former president Donald Trump. The move comes as Republicans have criticized Harris’s campaign for its lack of concrete policy proposals, besides her abandonment of several progressive policies

There was a time in this country when journalists would find stealing an election a topic of interest. A threat to democracy, even. Instead, the New York Times recently published a glowing report indicating that over the first nine months of the fiscal year, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USIS) is averaging under five months to process naturalization applications. That process took almost exactly a year on average in 2021. What could possibly be happening in 2024

James Carville’s career matches the trajectory of the Democrat party. Once, he was a pragmatic political strategist who managed to get Bill Clinton into the White House by focusing on economic issues. Then, he was a sleazy misogynist who helped Clinton skate past his history of sexual assaults. Now, he’s just another racist Democrat operative. Nowhere is that clearer than in his racist attack on Israel and its supporters in America. According to Carville, the only reason Republicans support Israel is because they think it’s a “white” country. This is offensive and ignorant at more levels than I can count.
