Good God, who is he kidding ? Top House Intel Democrat defends ‘very strong vetting process’ as Biden administration considers admitting Gazan refugees to US. https://nypost.com/2024/05/05/us-news/top-house-intel-dem-defends-very-strong-vetting-process-as-biden-admin-considers-admitting-gazan-refugees-to-us/

REPORT: The Biden Administration Has Spent $20 Billion on ‘Refugee’ Resettlement in Just Two Years by Mike LaChance The situation at the southern border has become a multi-level crisis and it turns out that it has been incredibly expensive, too. The Biden administration has spent $20 billion hard-earned American tax dollars on ‘refugee’ resettlement in just the last two years. Of course, the vast majority of illegal border crossers are not refugees at all. Democrats sure do seem to enjoy spending other people’s money. (Snip) The Biden administration has poured billions of taxpayer dollars into the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) since October 2022, according to a new report from Open the Books. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/report-biden-administration-has-spent-20-billion-refugee/

Look at those poor "refugee children" Illegal Alien from Lebanon Caught at Border Admits He is Hezbollah, Hoped to Make a Bomb. An illegal alien from Lebanon was apprehended illegally crossing the southern border near El Paso, Texas by Border Patrol agents on March 9. Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was asked what he was doing in the United States. He said he was going to New York and hoped to make a bomb. "I'm going to make a bomb." He admitted he is a member of Hezbollah. During a sworn interview, Ebbadi said he trained with Hezbollah for seven years. He said he was an active member guarding weapons locations for another four years. https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2024/03/18/illegal-alien-from-lebanon-caught-at-border-admits-he-is-hezbollah-hoped-to-make-a-bomb-n3784874 Thanks, Joe Biden. .

Military Experts Warn of Extreme Dangers to American Troops Building Floating Pier off Gaza Coast By Bob Hoge Military experts are sounding the alarm over President Biden’s floating Gaza pier plan, where the administration will construct an offshore pier to be used to get more food and supplies to refugees in the war-torn region. Biden announced the operation during his March 7 State of the Union speech, but it was received with mixed reaction. {snip} Some of the experts brought up past disasters like the deadly terrorist bombings in Beirut in 1983 that killed 241 servicemembers and the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, which left 13 troops dead, as examples of what we face when we post our forces in hard-to-secure locales. “If a bomb went off in that location,” he [Kennedy] said, “the American public will ask, ‘What the hell were they doing there in the first place?’” https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/03/31/military-experts-warn-of-extreme-dangers-to-american-troops-building-floating-pier-off-gaza-coast-n2172149 Well, we need those Michigan votes. .

AS much as I dislike posting in such an op bigoted thread, this goes here with their false narrative. America can mass deport illegal aliens, and we know this because it’s done so before American Thinker, by Andrea Widburg The headlines are full of stories about illegal aliens: They’re raping children, murdering young women, crashing their cars into children, assaulting and murdering police officers…and the list goes on. However, we’re told that we’re stuck with them. Well, we’re not. In the 1950s, when there was political will—and a plea from Mexico to send its citizens home—we did mass deport illegal aliens. Like Pakistan deporting its illegal Afghan aliens, El Salvador jailing its gangs, or Argentina balancing its budget in nine weeks, it just requires political will. I made a lot of assertions about illegal aliens in my opening paragraph. Let me back them up with just a few examples. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/02/america_can_mass_deport_illegal_aliens_and_we_know_this_because_its_done_so_before.html

Why Israel Must Take Rafah It’s the last sanctuary for Hamas’s military battalions in Gaza. By The Editorial Board The battle for Rafah has begun in Gaza, and it’s an essential part of Israel’s war of self-defense against Hamas. The terrorist group’s leaders have dragged out negotiations for a cease-fire for months, with no intention of freeing hostages while President Biden shielded their stronghold from attack. Now the masterminds of Oct. 7 are learning that Mr. Biden can’t protect them. “No amount of pressure, no decision by any international forum, will stop Israel from defending itself,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday. “If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone. But we know we are not alone, because countless decent people around the world support our cause.” Early Monday morning Israel ordered the evacuation of eastern Rafah, directing civilians to safety. In the afternoon Israeli tanks advanced. The plan is to evacuate and fight in the city piece by piece, swiftly moving civilians north and west without leaving Hamas free to tie down the people as human shields. Objections are pouring in from the usual suspects. France says displacing Rafah’s civilians is a crime. Would it prefer that Israel fight among them, or simply leave Hamas alone? Unrwa says that it will resist evacuation. The United Nations refugee agency again puts its anti-Israel ideology above the safety of Palestinian civilians. The invasion of Rafah was made necessary on Oct. 7, when Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israelis. At that moment it became impossible for Israel to allow Hamas to control territory, remain in power and plan the next massacre, as the terrorists pledge. https://www.wsj.com/articles/rafah-battle-israel-hamas-gaza-cc8ba76b?st=ne751fj7tsyg1vb&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink .

When I established an exploratory committee for Senate, I understood the challenge ahead. Running for office requires an extraordinary commitment, not just from the candidate but also from family, friends, volunteers, and donors. A campaign puts them through so much. That’s reason enough not to run for office unless there’s a clear path to victory and a high likelihood of success. After thoroughly evaluating all aspects of a potential campaign, I’m convinced that no candidate would be better positioned to win both the Republican primary and the general election. That’s why, today, I’m making it official: I’m joining the race for United States Senate in Michigan. The past few years away from Congress have given me time to reflect on the experiences that have shaped my life, the principles of liberty that inspire me, and what my tenure in Congress meant to the people of my community. My parents arrived in the United States as teenagers in search of a better future—my father, a Palestinian refugee, and my mother, a Syrian immigrant. They instilled in me a love for America and for the values and principles at the heart of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Report: Jill Biden Hampered Afghanistan Evacuation With Special Requests The disaster that took place in Afghanistan in 2021 no longer dominates the headlines, but the after-effects are still being felt. After the evacuation, which resulted in the murder of 13 American service members and countless Afghans, the Biden administration is still trying to clean up the mess it created. With women and children set to starve in incredible numbers because of the haphazard pull-out, the president is now moving to issue an executive order that will use frozen funds from the Afghan central bank for humanitarian relief. The problem with such an order is obvious. The Taliban is a terrorist organization masquerading as a legitimate government. Any money sent into the country is going to be misused and appropriated for nefarious activities. As to giving compensation to the 9/11 victims’ families, that feels like a rather convenient throw-in as Democrats face electoral doom in November. Regardless, the question of how things got to this point remains important, and a recent report by the U.S. Army puts much of the blame on the decisions that emanated from the Biden administration during that fateful time. As expected, Joe Biden himself has already rejected its findings, but it includes a very interesting mention of Jill Biden. Per the testimony of Navy Admiral Peter Vasely, who was running the operations center at Kabul’s airport during the evacuation, the First Lady and others were making special requests that ultimately ate up “bandwidth” and hampered the mission. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2022/02/11/report-jill-biden-hampered-afghanistan-evacuation-with-special-requests-n520677 Well, I know from reading this posts here, I'm not supposed to dispute any military testimony. Right?

House Investigation Into Afghanistan Withdrawal Already Exposing Biden Administration's Incompetence By Jeff Charles FTA: During a hearing earlier this year, the committee heard testimonies describing the withdrawal effort. “This whole thing has been a gutting experience. I never imagined I would witness the kind of gross abandonment, followed by career-preserving silence of senior leaders, military and civilian,” Lt. Col. David Scott Mann (Ret.) said. There are approximately 775,000 Afghan war veterans. According to a survey, 73% of them feel betrayed by the withdrawal and 67% feel humiliated. Those who were there say they still suffer from what they experienced — including mothers carrying dead babies, the Taliban beating people, and people running for their lives. “I think we’re on the front end of a mental health tsunami,” Lt. Col. Mann said. “Calls to the VA hotline have spiked 81% in the first year since the Afghan withdrawal and they keep coming.” House Democrats have attempted to shift blame to the Trump administration for the botched withdrawal. https://redstate.com/jeffc/2023/12/18/house-investigation-into-afghanistan-withdrawal-already-exposing-biden-administrations-incompetence-n2167703

IDF Uncovers Secret Hamas Data Center Directly Beneath UNRWA's Gaza HQ We’ve known that Hamas operates in hospitals and schools in Gaza, despite their heated denials. We've also known about the extensive terror tunnel network under the Strip, where they store weapons, hide hostages, and plan attacks. But a new find by the Israel Defense Forces is even more troubling – Hamas has been operating a sophisticated data center directly beneath the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), complete with an electrical room, industrial battery power banks, and living quarters for Hamas terrorists overseeing the computer operations. This is far from the first time the UNRWA has come under scrutiny: However, the new discovery is sobering because, among other things, the facility was “built precisely under the location where Israel would not consider looking initially, let alone target in an airstrike.” https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/02/10/idf-uncovers-secret-hamas-data-center-directly-beneath-unrwas-gaza-hq-n2169928

Brutal new reporting from @axios in article titled “How Biden Botched the Border”. - Biden exploded w/ rage at his team aboard AF1 on the way to border last year. - Susan Rice called HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra a “B word ass”& “idiot”. - VP Harris’ team made it clear her responsibilities “began and ended” w/ root causes in just the 3 Northern Triangle counties & Mexico, w/ a former Biden admin official saying Harris has been “at best, ineffective”. - Mayorkas disagreed with Biden’s 100 day halt on deportations. - Homeland Security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall displayed inexperience, asked for a memo explaining the difference between refugees & asylum seekers. - Biden admin has listened to “vocal immigration advocates outside the administration”. - “The White House generally didn't want to talk publicly about immigration or the border for much of Biden's first three years, feeling it would draw attention to a political vulnerability.” - “Publicly, the White House also initially downplayed jumps in illegal border crossings as normal "ebbs and flows" — even as some internally pushed to acknowledge that the problem was significant.” The article highlights a combination of infighting, incompetence, and indifference regarding the administration’s handling of the border over the last 3 years. https://www.axios.com/2024/02/12/how-biden-botched-border

What Arab Nations Are Reportedly Saying to Israel in Private Is Quite Interesting by Matt Vespa It feeds into everything that’s been reported about Israel’s Arab neighbors and why they don’t want Palestinian refugees roaming wild in their country: they bring trouble. The late King Hussein had to declare war on them and successfully drove them out. The problem is the Palestinian Liberation Organization set up shop in Lebanon, where they caused problems for the government while also attacking Israel from the southern part of the country. Israel had to invade in 1982 and remained in Southern Lebanon until 2000. Egypt has closed its border with the Gaza Strip in Rafah due to terrorism concerns. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2023/12/02/what-arab-nations-are-telling-israel-privately-is-quite-interesting-n2631920

Why is that ? Jordanian King's "Red Line": No Gaza Refugees Here or in Egypt https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/10/17/jordanian-kings-red-line-no-gaza-refugees-here-or-in-egypt-n585404

The Unhinged Among Us Victor Davis Hanson | Dec 01, 2023 October 7 should have been an open-and-shut case of moral condemnation. During peace and holiday, invading Hamas, gunmen murdered, tortured, mass raped, decapitated, and mutilated some 1,200 Israelis. The vast majority were unarmed women, children, infants, and the elderly. The cowardly murderers proudly filmed their atrocities and then fled back to Gaza -- to cheers from the Gaza street. Before Israel even retaliated, the mass murder of Jews earned praise from the Middle East, the international hard left, and especially the faculty and students of elite Western campuses. When the Israeli Defense Forces struck back, the killers dispersed to the safety of their multibillion-dollar subterranean cities. The cowardly elite architects of the mass murder fled to Arab sanctuaries in Lebanon and Qatar. From its headquarters burrowed below hospitals, mosques, and schools, Hamas bartered hostages for a reprieve from the IDF and the release of its own convicted terrorists in Israeli jails. Hamas shot any of its own supporters who refused to shield Hamas gunmen. It continued launching rockets at Israeli civilian centers. It serially lied about its casualties, expropriating intended relief food and fuel for its underground tunnel city of killers. Abroad, Hamas supporters also emulated the methods of the pro-Nazi demonstrators in Western cities of the 1930s. Unlike their pro-Israel critics, the pro-Hamas demonstrators in the U.S. and Europe turned violent. They took over and defaced private and public property. They chanted genocidal antisemitic slogans calling for erasure of the nation of Israel. They interrupted shoppers, blocked highways, attacked businesses, and swarmed bridges. They assaulted the police. The majority wore masks to hide their identities in the fashion of antisemitic Klansmen. Why did the doctrinaire left, the youth of the Democratic Party, and the campuses outdo each other in their antisemitic venom toward Israel? For the first time in their lives, many of the ignorant protestors suddenly professed concern about refugees, colonialism, disproportionality, innocent civilians, and the rules of war. But none could explain why the Palestinians who fled Israel in 1947-48 still self-identify as victimized "refugees" when 900,000 Jews ethnically cleansed from Middle-East Arab cities about the same time do not. https://townhall.com/columnists/victordavishanson/2023/12/01/the-unhinged-among-us-n2631857#google_vignette .

The plight of innocent civilians in Gaza, suffering in this war caused by their leaders, is genuinely terrible. Pictures of babies killed in airstrikes are heartbreaking. So why aren't Arab nations offering to evacuate refugees? During Syria's civil war, millions of people fled the country and were admitted by Turkey, Germany, and other countries. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion have found haven in Poland, Hungary, and elsewhere. Israel is not preventing any other country from providing safe passage to Gaza civilians. But Hamas — whose top leaders don't even live in Gaza — 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 the images of Palestinian children suffering and dying in the rubble. They don't 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 other countries to rescue the civilians. They warn Palestinians not to leave their homes because they 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 the number of casualties to rise. Just as Hamas is responsible for the innocent bleed spilled in Israel, it is responsible for the innocent blood spilled in Gaza. And any Arab or Muslim nation that decries the siege and airstrikes in Gaza while refusing to open its borders to Palestinians is aiding and abetting Hamas in its war crimes.

WELL, YES: It’s No Accident The Southern Border Is Collapsing, It’s Intentional. Customs and Border Protection shut down two international bridges to deal with the crisis. The mayor of Eagle Pass, Rolando Salinas, declared an emergency on Wednesday, it seems with good reason. He told The New York Post that the surge of illegal immigrants, most of them single adult men from Venezuela, has swamped the city’s only migrant shelter. Many of them, says Salinas, “don’t want to listen to instructions.” He added, “Not all of them come in peace.” Bill Melugin of Fox News has been in Eagle Pass this week posting jaw-dropping videos and images of the influx, which sure enough consists of mostly single adult men. The lines stretch over the river and along both banks as far as the eye can see. Whatever you think of the border and U.S. immigration policy, this is shocking. All of it recalls the mass encampment of some 15,000 Haitians under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, two years ago. At the time, images of what looked like a refugee camp you might see in a war-torn country dominated several news cycles, goading the Biden administration to disband the encampment and deport a small number of Haitians as a warning to others. Most of them fled back across the Rio Grande rather than face being deported to Haiti, a country they had left years ago for better jobs in South America (which countries they in turn left for better jobs in the United States). But notice how the illegal immigrants in Melugin’s footage are walking calmly, not running, not trying to evade Border Patrol. They show every indication they believe they will not be detained long. https://thefederalist.com/2023/09/21/its-no-accident-the-southern-border-is-collapsing-its-intentional/ You might call it a crisis by design, to coin an Insta-phrase.

Why I Am Voting Republican JASON NEGRI Dear Ms. Pelosi, With less than a week until the 2022 midterm elections, and Democrats reeling from the shellacking they are expected to get, I read a news article that stated you are wondering just how “anyone could vote for these people” (meaning, Republicans). Allow me to answer what I presume was a merely rhetorical question. I can (barely) remember a time in national politics when our political differences were just that—political. People on opposite sides of the aisle could still work together to achieve good things for our nation. However, those days are long past, and since neither side actually talks to the other but only engages with those of like mind, I thought it might be helpful for me to write this and explain how non-Democrats think. We’re voting Republican because we want reasonable immigration policy that reflects the needs and the good of America, while allowing for a generous refugee program for those fleeing disaster. And the only way to accomplish this is with a border that is secure in the first place and not annually letting in tens of thousands of undocumented immigrants and tons of fentanyl. And we resent being told that holding this position is racist and that we just “don’t want more brown people here.” Along these lines, we’re voting Republican because we’re sick of being told that every policy disagreement we have with the Left is rooted in racism, sexism, or some other mean-spirited “ism” on our part.

GASLIGHTING 101: How Biden and the Left Create Their Own Villains Tyler O'Neil Hate is on the rise! Not only are hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan in every state in America, but antigovernment groups lurk in plain sight, spreading baseless conspiracy theories and plotting to stage another Jan. 6. These radicals may claim they are advocating “parental rights,” “religious freedom,” or “border security,” but they’re motivated by hatred, exclusion, and racism, this narrative goes. Whatever they say can and should be dismissed as “misinformation” or “disinformation,” because it contradicts the Left’s official narrative. Don’t you dare express your own doubts about the Left’s narrative, or you, too, will qualify as an “extremist.” You may be a card-carrying Democrat who checks all the right boxes, but if you think porn doesn’t belong in school libraries, none of that matters. You may fully support gay marriage, but don’t you dare wonder out loud if kids on experimental “gender” drugs may grow to regret altering their own bodies. You may serve refugees, but you’d better watch yourself if you think the mass of humanity crossing the southern border may be just a bit problematic. Welcome to Gaslighting 101. You see, some on the Left are hard at work manufacturing their own villains. The strategy goes something like this: Take over America’s institutions and weaponize them against the very values that helped establish them in the first place. When people complain, brand them as the extremists to shame them into silence. MUCH more at the link: https://www.dailysignal.com/2023/07/17/gaslighting-101-how-biden-left-create-villains/?

Anticipating her removal, Omar had this to say on the House floor: “I am a Muslim. I am an immigrant. And, interestingly, from Africa. Is anyone surprised that I am a target?” On a personal note, I first asked Omar for a comment on facts suggesting she might be married to her brother in August 2016 when she was running for a lowly state legislative office. This is the comment she gave me: “There are people who do not want an East African, Muslim woman elected to office and who will follow Donald Trump’s playbook to prevent it.” When the Star Tribune was embarrassed into looking into the facts of the case three years later, this is the statement she gave her friends at the paper: “Since before she was elected to office, Ilhan has been the subject of conspiracy theories and false accusations about her personal life. Emboldened by a president who openly treats immigrants, refugees and Muslims as invaders, these attacks often stem from the presumption that Ilhan — like others who share those identities — is somehow illegitimate or not fully American….” The victim shtick has served Omar well so far and she’s not giving it up now. The funny thing — funny thing, so to speak — is that her bigotry simply mainstreams the left-wing assault on Israel and the Jews as her persistent claims to victimhood demonstrate her complete assimilation to the modern American way. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/02/omar-persists.php .

BIDENOMICS OFF TO ROARING START: Shot: “We saw the jobs report. Only 6,000 private sector jobs will be created. And at that rate, it’s going to take ten years before we get to full employment. That’s not hyperbole,” Biden said, seated beside Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the Oval Office during a meeting with House Democratic leadership. —CNN, yesterday. Chaser: Biden plans early legislation to offer legal status to 11 million immigrants without it. —The Los Angeles Times, January 15th. Hangover: Jared Bernstein, member of Biden’s Council of Economic Advisors: “One thing we learned in the 1990s was that a surefire way to reconnect the fortunes of working people at all skill levels, immigrant and native-born alike, to the growing economy is to let the job market tighten up. A tight job market pressures employers to boost wage offers to get and keep the workers they need. One equally surefire way to sort-circuit this useful dynamic is to turn on the immigrant spigot every time some group’s wages go up.” UPDATE: Biden Sets Stage For Largest Number of Refugee Admissions in Three Decades. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) criticized Biden’s announcement. “Increasing the refugee admissions cap to its highest point in three decades will put American jobs and safety at risk during a pandemic,” he said. “We’re only one week into the Biden administration and its immigration policies are already putting Americans last.” —CNS News, Thursday.

In the worst showing since becoming president, President Joe Biden’s approval has fallen to its lowest ever, and the public no longer feels his team is competent, honest, or led well. As Biden struggles to recover from the bungled Afghan withdrawal and an interparty feud over his spending and tax agenda, his approval has sunk to just 38% in the latest Quinnipiac University Poll. A majority, 53%, disapprove. (https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3824) The survey follows a similar pattern in other polls, notably Gallup, that recently had his approval at a poor 43%. While partisanship remains as strong as it was during the Trump era, independents are weighing in heavily against Biden. By nearly 2-1, independents disapprove of Biden, 60%-32%. Of special note in the new survey, the public appears to have lost faith in Biden’s abilities. According to the survey: More than half say 55%-42% said the Biden administration is not competent in running the government. Fifty percent said Biden is not honest, while 44% said he is. Forty-one percent said he has “good leadership,” while 56% said he doesn’t. Fifty-five percent disapprove of his handling of the economy. Fifty-eight percent disapprove of his job as commander in chief. Sixty-seven percent said he's wrong on immigration and border issues. “Battered on trust, doubted on leadership, and challenged on overall competency, President Biden is being hammered on all sides as his approval rating continues its downward slide to a number not seen since the tough scrutiny of the Trump administration,” said Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/washington-secrets/hammered-biden-falls-to-38-not-competent-honest

HMM: To Free Cuba, Make Guantanamo the New Ellis Island. The drowning risk for incoming Cuban refugees could be entirely eliminated by inviting the Cubans seeking freedom and democracy to make their way by land to Guantanamo. At the navy base, their applications could be processed, they could be vaccinated against Covid-19, and they could eventually be transported safely to America by airplane or in seaworthy vessels. The images of this exodus would help advance what Mr. Biden professes to be a core foreign policy objective. In his July 15 “Washington Declaration” with Chancellor Merkel, Mr. Biden said, “We must act now to demonstrate that democracy delivers for our people at home and that democratic leadership delivers for the world.” Forget Biden’s words and watch his actions instead — and his actions show he’s no friend of liberty in Cuba or here. https://www.nysun.com/foreign/to-free-cuba-make-guantanamo-the-new-ellis-island/91585/

ROGER SIMON: Cuba, Iran, and the Shame of the United States. If I hadn’t left the Democratic Party years ago, I would leave it now. Their namby-pamby, lip-service reaction to the uprising of the Cuban people against 62 years of brutal communist oppression is shameful beyond words. Apparently, the protests are a bit inconvenient for them. AOC might be embarrassed if they said or did anything, not to mention Bernie. The Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned Cuban refugees not to come (while the border is open to practically everybody else, from Houthis to extra-terrestrials) put the capper on it. The Coast Guard has evidently already been alerted not to allow this freedom-loving riff-riff on our shores. After all, some of them might vote Republican. Cuban-born himself, Mayorkas’ behavior is not that far from the Jewish Kapos who kept order for the Nazis inside the concentration camps. What he’s done—no doubt on orders from above—is that repellent. But the Democrats clearly had and have more important fish to fry, like prolonging the fiction that another freedom-oriented demonstration (Jan. 6), clumsy as it might have been, was a veritable “insurrection.” (The poor folks just somehow forgot to bring guns.) https://www.theepochtimes.com/cuba-iran-and-the-shame-of-the-united-states_3903345.html Related: Former Florida Democrat Congresswoman Scolds AOC for Blaming Cuba Crisis on U.S. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/former-florida-dem-congresswoman-scolds-aoc-for-blaming-cuba-crisis-on-u-s/

JOHN KASS: The one thing keeping Biden in office. What worries me in addition to his incompetence is his style, the way he presents the presidency to the world, with those watery and unfocused blue eyes, Biden babbling softly while reading his teleprompter in the White House. Such is the President of the United States of America. It was like watching some foreign film actor who can’t speak a word of English reciting his lines phonetically for Hollywood, issuing pleasant sounds devoid of meaning in place of cold, hard ideas and realities. Bela Lugosi, the Hungarian refugee who became world-famous as “Dracula” knew no English when he arrived in America. According to his son, Lugosi memorized his lines phonetically in the Broadway play “The Red Poppy” to rave reviews. And Yoko Shimada, the accomplished and lovely Japanese actress who starred in the old mini-series “Shogun” was another, making sounds without knowing exactly what they were saying. There have been other such actors speaking phonetically to their audience. But none of these were President of the United States. https://johnkassnews.com/the-one-thing-keeping-biden-in-office/ Read the whole thing.

Impeachment alone does not doom Democrats in 2020. Their ideas also doom them. Their candidates espouse ideas that not only are contrary to the American experience, but contrary to the American ideals.The primary anti-American idea Democrats espouse is the confiscation of guns. Both Beto O'Rourke and Eric Swalwell made this a major part of their campaign, with the latter flashing our nuclear capabilities as a warning to anyone who would dare defy such an order.The Second Amendment enforces the First.Democrats plan to neutralize the First with a ban on hate speech and Beto's call to tax churches.Next up is reparations to African-Americans for a slavery that ended 154 years ago. Reparations are a repudiation of Martin Luther King's vision of a colorblind society in which all men are equal.The purpose of Democrats is to divide our nation based on pigmentation and other superficial genetic differences.This is followed by the promotion of transgendering elementary school-aged children to the opposite sex. This is part of the Democrat Party's promotion of sexualizing children. Too many powerful Democrats boarded Jeff Epstein's Lolita Express to Pedo Island for it not to reflect on the party itself.Elizabeth Warren meanwhile wants to confiscate the wealth of "billionaires," which she defines as anyone worth $50 million -- or 1/20th of a billion.Don't worry. Over time that number will drop to whatever your savings have.With every candidate supporting the elimination of private health insurance in favor of government control of health care, Bernie Sanders find himself out-flanked on his left and separated from his base.However, he was able to move even further left.Fox News reported, "Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Thursday released a sweeping immigration plan that would impose a moratorium on deportations, 'break up' existing immigration enforcement agencies, grant full welfare access to illegal immigrants and welcome a minimum of 50,000 'climate migrants' in the first year of a Sanders administration."The plan effectively establishes Sanders at the far left of the immigration debate, as he aims to energize a base that helped drive his 2016 primary campaign amid competition from other liberal candidates in the field this time around."Climate refugees!That phrase combines the Democrat call for open borders with the voodoo science of global warming.How clever.And how stupid.Americans are not going for this. https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2019/11/impeachment-is-not-why-democrats-will.html?spref=tw&m=1
