‘Hamas Leaders Will Pay for These Crimes’

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/1/2024 1:40:47 AM

President Joe Biden responded to the news that Hersh Goldberg-Polin was one of the bodies that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had discovered in Gaza, and stated “Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes.” Biden issued a statement that it was “now confirmed that one of the hostages” killed by Hamas terrorists was Goldberg-Polin. Biden described Goldberg-Polin’s death as “tragic” and “reprehensible.” “Earlier today, in a tunnel under the city of Rafah, Israeli forces recovered six bodies of hostages held by Hamas,” Biden said in a statement. “We have now confirmed that one of the hostages killed by these vicious Hamas terrorists was an American citizen

With the way the Israeli Defense Force has been destroying Hamas for the last few months, I'm sure they needed a good laugh. Count on Senile Joe bidet to give them that laugh with his impotent and useless threat... Now when President Trump says that, Hamas will be soiling their panties and praying to their faux god -- which will do nothing when the IDF wipes them straight to Hell!!!!!

Maybe IF he had made them "pay" sooner than not at all, the man wouldn't be dead! But then Joe would have to have gotten off his a** from his beach chair and muscled up a little backbone and acted like a real president instead of the gutless liar he is.

Joseph R. Biden, the installed president of the united states, didn't know and couldn't care who Hersh Goldberg-Polin was, let alone read or write the BS statement given to the press about this young man's tragic kidnapping and death. Yet his parents appeared at the DNC. More than half of those attending the DNC, supported young Hersh's kidnapping and tragic death. There were riots outside the convention arena supporting the events of the October 7 butchery and attack on Israel that led to his death. And those same rioters support and take part in the pogroms taking place in the United States. When will these people learn? When? My heart breaks for them.

Justice Department Charges Top Hamas Terrorists
for October 7 Massacre

Posted by Dreadnought 9/3/2024 9:31:32 PM Post Reply
The Justice Department is charging several top-ranking Hamas terrorists for their role in perpetrating the October 7, 2023, mass slaughter of Israeli civilians that jump-started the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind October 7, and five other senior Hamas officials are facing federal terrorism charges for orchestrating the October 7 attacks, the Justice Department announced Tuesday. This will be the first official step towards holding Hamas criminally accountable almost a year after the massacre took place. Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,000 innocent civilians on October 7, including over 40 American citizens.

Joe Biden is back before the cameras. In some ways, it would be better if he stayed on vacation, as he may do less damage then when he's actually before the cameras and talking. How wrong it is that the Democrats have put us in that position with him, by not being honest about his condition. Kamala Harris is chief among those who has not been honest with the American people about Biden's issues. After making bizarre comments before and after a meeting in the Situation Room about the situation in Israel, Biden went with Harris to Pittsburgh for a campaign event with union people.

Before Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, Trump was gaining ground in a number of blue states. Maine, Virginia, New Hampshire, and even Minnesota were in or approaching toss-up territory. When Kamala replaced Biden on top of the ticket, the polls told us that these states were no longer in reach for Trump. However, that may be changing. Recent polling shows that Virginia may still be in play, and Kamala is headed to New Hampshire this week, which may be a sign that her campaign is worried about the state. Now we're starting to see numbers that suggest that her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is going on defense as former President Donald Trump gains steam in blue states after Harris’s failure to achieve a post-convention bump, which most modern campaigns take for granted. The campaign is sending Harris and her top surrogates — ticket mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and husband Doug Emhoff — to blue states after a weekend of planned swing state visits. On Wednesday, Harris will reportedly visit New Hampshire — where she enjoyed only a four-point advantage, according to an Emerson College/WHDH survey before the convention — for a campaign event yet to be announced. Walz will be in his home state of Minnesota,

A couple days ago we were complaining about Biden being on a beach. Maybe it would be better if he had stayed there. After six Israelis were brutally murdered, including American Hersh Goldberg, Biden had the audacity to make the comment that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not doing enough to get the hostages out. That comes from a man who is allowing pro-Hamas protests in our streets.

According to the IDF, evidence suggests that the hostages had been alive for nearly eleven months, but were executed by Hamas within the past few days. In a late-night statement, President Biden said he was “devastated and outraged” and declared, “Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes.”

A pair of reparations-related bills for the descendants of enslaved Black Americans failed to pass in the California legislature on Saturday after backers said the bills would not move forward. Authored by Democrat state Sen. Steven Bradford of Inglewood, Senate Bill 1331 would have created a new state fund for reparations, while Senate Bill 1403 would have established a state agency to oversee these efforts and determine who would be eligible. These measures were considered key components of some lawmakers’ ambitious efforts to pass legislation aimed at atoning for what they said was a legacy of racist policies that drove disparities for Black people, from housing to education to health.
