  1. U.S. Announces Another $400 Million in Aid for Ukraine By Ward Clark https://redstate.com/wardclark/2024/05/10/us-announces-another-400-in-aid-for-ukraine-n2174021 https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4656516-us-400-million-dollar-military-aid-package-ukraine/ .
  2. Biden Not Appeasing the Dearborn Democrats Either NY TIMES Mr. Biden’s announcement that he had paused a shipment of 3,500 bombs to Israel and would not help with a ground invasion of Rafah was a sea change in U.S. policy that Arab American and Muslim leaders have demanded for months. But those who desired it the most have long ago written off the administration as complicit in a war that Gaza officials say has killed more than 34,000 people, arguing it was, essentially, too little, too late. “The president’s announcement is extremely overdue and horribly insufficient,” said Abbas Alawieh, one of the leaders of a protest-vote movement against Mr. Biden that began in Michigan this year. “He needs to come out against this war. Period. That would be significant.” Mr. Biden’s White House aides engaged in considerable outreach at the outset of the Democratic primary season, when the movement to cast protest votes in early states emerged as a surprising political headache. A cadre of high-level aides traveled to Dearborn, Mich., and Chicago to demonstrate their interest in listening, but Arab American leaders told them that without a momentous shift in U.S. policy — such as support for a permanent cease-fire — there was no need to keep talking. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/10/us/politics/biden-muslim-arab-americans-gaza.html
  3. Now it is being reported that Britain is REFUSING to sign on to the World Health Organisation’s pandemic treaty and that they will not sign any form of the treaty that undermines Britain’s sovereignty. That is very good news. However, the reason they are against the treaty is because countries will be obliged to give away 20% of pandemic related health products. In other words, things such as vaccines, medicines and protection equipment like face masks. In other words, it is basically a form of Global Communism. Could this be the beginning of the WHO pandemic treaty failing? How many other countries could join in rejecting this, following in Britain’s footsteps? https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/05/peter-sweden-its-happening-britain-refuses-sign-who/?
  4. The schools had their names changed back. "We appreciate your dedication to our schools and the well-being of our students, Restoring these names would demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity, respect for history, and responsiveness to community feedback." The group's letter stated Confederate Gens. Jackson and Lee, and Cmdr. Ashby have historical connections to Virginia and the commonwealth's history
  5. Though the anti-Israel chants on college campuses may be loud, they aren’t especially influential: Few voters, including young ones, put the war in Gaza anywhere near the top of their list of political priorities. But a clear majority of Americans back the current level of support for Israel or even want to increase it, according to a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll. The cutoff will further alienate pro-Israel voters and will only partly mollify anti-Israel ones, who will now pressure the president to go much further. In other words, it’s a classic case of falling between stools. It also plays into the perception that Biden is weak — unable to stand up to the left flank of his party, and a feckless ally to our embattled friends. The last time the United States bailed on an ally, in Afghanistan, the result was a political debacle from which the president’s approval rating never recovered. Why would the White House want to put voters in mind of that episode? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/09/opinion/president-bidens-biggest-blunder.html
  6. Disgraceful. Leftists Hamas-loving students run these universities Xavier University Cancels Commencement Speech by U.N. Ambassador KAREN TOWNSEND Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans rescinded an invitation to United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield to speak at the university's commencement. It was the second school to do so. The University of Vermont also canceled Thomas-Greenfield's commencement address. The reason is the protests on campus. Both schools pointed to pressure from students and the community over the Biden administration's support for Israel in its war against Hamas. https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2024/05/10/xavier-university-cancels-commencement-speech-by-un-ambassador-n3788135 .

  8. Joe has always been a d*ck. BEGIN & BIBI V. BIDEN In a November 2020 Wall Street Journal column Tevi Troy recalled “When Biden Met Begin” (posted in accessible form on Pundicity). Tevi recounted how Biden and Begin once clashed in a private June 1982 session with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: Mr. Biden, 39, lectured the 68-year-old [Israeli Prime Minister Menachem] Begin over Israeli settlements, jabbing his finger at the prime minister and banging his fist on the desk. Mr. Biden warned that eroding support for Israel threatened U.S. aid. Israel was at war in Lebanon and far more dependent on American assistance than it is today. Begin wouldn’t be cowed. “Don’t threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles,” he shouted back, according to Time magazine. Former Sen. Bob Packwood of Oregon later recalled that Begin went further: “I’m not a Jew with trembling knees,” he reminded Mr. Biden. In the lore that has since developed, Begin’s response supposedly continued: “I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.” Tevi leaves open the possibly apocryphal nature of the end of the quote. In the Hebrew-language message below, Prime Minister Netanyahu now echoes Begin’s words, apocryphal or not, and responds to the same old Biden: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2024/05/the-echo-of-begin.php .
  9. Biden’s betrayal: “But for Michigan?” I have long said that although it’s very clear that Joe Biden is very cognitively challenged compared to just a few years ago, he still has plenty of agency and his brain is not so far gone that he’s unaware. Plus, he was Obama’s VP from 2009 to 2017, in full possession of whatever were his native faculties, and he did Obama’s bidding on this and on just about every other topic. So this is not some recent thing nor is it the result of his age-related cognitive problems. It’s a result of who he is: a corrupt and ambitious viper – or weasel, if you prefer – who would sell out anyone for a dime or for career advancement. https://www.thenewneo.com/2024/05/09/bidens-betrayal-but-for-michigan/
  10. Virginia school board restores Confederate leaders’ names to two schools The change comes four years after the schools had removed the names during the national racial reckoning sparked by George Floyd’s killing. By Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff A Virginia school board voted to restore the names of two schools previously named after Confederate leaders at a meeting that began Thursday evening and stretched into the early hours of Friday. The Shenandoah County School Board voted 5-1 to call the schools Stonewall Jackson High School and Ashby Lee Elementary School, four years after the board — under different members — changed the names of the institutions due to their ties to Confederate leaders Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Turner Ashby. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2024/05/10/shenandoah-county-school-board-confederate-school-names/ .
