Biden Returns to U.S. From Israel Trip as He Prepares to Address the Nation

/0 Comments/in , /by

As Air Force One was refueling at Ramstein Air Base in Germany Wednesday night, U.S. President Joe Biden spoke to reporters about his call with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi about opening the Gaza-Egypt border for humanitarian aid.

Biden told reporters that al-Sisi was “completely cooperative” and “deserves some real credit because he was accommodating.”

After more than 10 days of the war, at least 3,000 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis have been killed, according to the Wall Street Journal. . .

China supports Egypt’s efforts to open humanitarian corridors, and is willing to strengthen coordination with Egypt and Arab countries to promote an early, comprehensive and lasting solution for the Israel-Palestinian conflict, Chinese state media said on Thursday.

China appreciates Egypt’s role in cooling the situation, and stressed that the most urgent task is for a ceasefire and stopping the war as soon as possible, President Xi Jinping said in talks with Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly on Thursday morning.

Rashida Tlaib Sobs as She Repeats Hamas Claim About Hospital Bombing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib sobbed during a Wednesday speech as she repeated Hamas’ disputed claim that an Israeli airstrike kill hundreds of people at a hospital in the Gaza Strip.

A blast on the Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City left over 500 dead Tuesday night, Gazan authorities claimed. Officials with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have denied Hamas’ claim that an Israeli airstrike caused the bombing, blaming the explosion instead on a rocket launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Subsequent analysis has questioned the initially reported death toll and suggested that that the rocket struck the parking lot and caused no significant damage to hospital structures.

Tlaib, along with Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, have refused to retract their claims repeating Hamas’ accusations against Israel. The Michigan congresswoman, who is outspokenly pro-Palestine, attended a rally calling for a ceasefire.

“To continue to watch people think it’s okay to bomb a hospital where children … you know what’s so hard sometimes is watching those videos and the people telling the kids, ‘Don’t cry.’ I’m like, ‘Let them cry,’” Tlaib said while beginning to cry herself. “And they’re shaking, and you know this, they keep telling them not to cry. They can cry, I can cry, we all can cry. If we’re not crying, something is wrong and so I’m telling you right now, President [Joe] Biden, not all of America is with you on this one.”

Dem Politician Continues Paying Husband’s Salary Despite Campaign Finance Complaints, Records Show

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush’s campaign continues to pay her husband’s salary for unknown services despite campaign finance complaints accusing the Bush campaign of wrongdoing, records show.

The Cori Bush campaign’s Federal Election Commission (FEC) records for July through September 2023 indicate her husband, Cortney Merritts, was paid $12,500 for an unknown “wage expense” and $350 for a “gas expense” incurred in the most recent fundraising quarter.

Merritts received five $2,500 payments from Cori Bush for Congress despite campaign finance complaints from multiple organizations, according to the FEC records. The payments were previously classified as security services until the Bush campaign changed the classification in April, previous FEC filings indicate.

Merritts is not a licensed security guard in either Washington, D.C., or St. Louis and his most recent professional experience appears to be in the moving industry, Fox reported. Bush’s campaign began paying Merritts in the 2022 election cycle and he has brought in more than $100,000 from his wife’s congressional campaigns, Fox News found.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Comes Out in Favor of Reparations (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. departed from his usual moderate posturing by coming out in favor of reparations.

Kennedy favoring reparations may be a politically strategic move to pull support from President Joe Biden, who has remained silent on the issue. Earlier this year, for instance, the White House refused to provide an answer on the subject, opting to leave it up to Congress. . .

Kennedy said that he supports using federal tax dollars to “rebuild black infrastructure” like banks and businesses. He also supports “direct redress payments or tax credits” as opposed to blanket cash giveaways.

“Communities that were specifically targeted for destruction need to be specifically targeted for repair,” Kennedy states on his campaign website. “During Jim Crow, Black banks, businesses, hospitals, schools, and farms were targeted for destruction. Racists knew that without these, the Black community had no chance of building wealth. We must set federal dollars aside to rebuild Black infrastructure.”

Multiple Nations Urge Citizens to Evacuate Lebanon as Iranian Terrorists Escalate Attacks on Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Multiple countries have alerted their citizens inside Lebanon that they should immediately evacuate as an Iranian-backed terrorist organization in the country ramps up its attacks on Israel’s northern border amid concerns that a second front could soon be opened in Israel’s war against Islamic terrorists in the region.

Israeli officials are concerned that Hezbollah — which is estimated to have approximately 20,000 soldiers — is preparing to launch a full-scale attack on Israel’s northern border. The terrorist group has approximately 150,000 rockets in its arsenal that could easily dwarf the recent rocket attacks launched by Hamas.

Reuters reported that Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine gave a speech to thousands of supporters on Wednesday, claiming that the terrorist group was “thousands of times stronger” than it was in the past, and threatening Israel and the West, warning that attacks on Hezbollah would be a “resounding” mistake.

Countries that have told their citizens to quickly leave Lebanon include the United States, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Canada, France, Kuwait, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, and Australia.

Pro-Palestinian Insurrectionists Occupy Federal House Office Building (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

About one hundred pro-Palestinian insurrectionists occupied a federal House office building in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, chanting “ceasefire now” and “let Gaza live.”

The insurrectionists, many who wore face masks and dressed in black and flew a banner demanding that Israel stop defending itself from rocket attacks against civilians, occupied the ground floor of the Cannon Office Building, one of three main buildings where congressional staff and lawmakers work.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib was leading the protest:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was on the scene and noted a double standard between the pro-Palestinian insurrectionists and the protestors on January 6. “There’s an insurrection happening now on Capitol Hill,” her video caption read of the event. “They are claiming they want peace but they want money to go to terrorists.” (Read more from “Pro-Palestinian Insurrectionists Occupy Federal House Office Building” HERE)

Top Law Firm Rescinds Job Offers to Ivy League Students Who Signed Anti-Israel Statements

/0 Comments/in , /by

A top law firm has reportedly rescinded its job offers to Ivy League students who signed anti-Israel statements in response to the mass murder of Jews in Israel by Hamas.

Davis Polk, a top U.S. law firm, said in an internal email to employees that the students’ statements do not represent the firm’s values, according to a report by NBC News.

The law firm announced that it has already rescinded three letters of employment for law students from both Harvard and Columbia University, as they signed onto organizational statements about Israel.

“These statements are simply contrary to our firm’s values and we thus concluded that rescinding these offers was appropriate in upholding our responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment for all Davis Polk employees,” Neil Barr, Managing Partner of Davis Polk & Wardwell, said in the email.

Maybe Biden Should Cancel His Israel Trip After What Happened to the German Chancellor (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden is reportedly on his way to Israel, and he should probably come back. I’m not talking about fear regarding him potentially falling down the stairs of Air Force One. There are legitimate security concerns, as you know. He’s entering a nation on the brink of a massive land operation in Gaza. Rocket attacks are occurring from all corners of the country. Biden has already delivered a statement of total support for Israel and offered, as presidents in the past have done when the Jewish State comes under threat, anything they would require to defend themselves.

But a video of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his advisers taking cover on the tarmac at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv is something else. They were later escorted to a bomb shelter:

Is this trip a good idea, especially after Biden has declared our support for Israel? No doubt he will be there, as Scholz has done, to ensure the safe passage of the civilians in Gaza who are about to be engulfed in a warzone. There will be discussions about humanitarian aid as well. We all know this—so why couldn’t this be handled over the phone?

Has Israel Hit ‘Pause’ on Ground Invasion, or Is It Planning ‘Something Different’ for Hamas?

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the blinding fog of war, ambiguity is often a calculated stance rather than mere indecision. This could be the case with Israel’s military strategy in its war against Hamas. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) last week indicated that it was prepared to up the ante by sending ground troops into the Gaza Strip, the territory Hamas controls.

The IDF had rallied a strong force around Gaza’s perimeter, but now, the impending incursion appears to have been paused, leaving the international community in a state of speculation.

Israel’s Defence Forces have spent the past week preparing for a massive operation to crush Hamas after some 360,000 reservists were called up to encircle Gaza with tanks, artillery and armoured vehicles.

But now the expected ground assault appears to be on hold, with IDF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht refusing to confirm his troops will deploy into the Palestinian enclave.

‘We are preparing for the next stages of war. We haven’t said what they will be,’ Lt Col Hecht teased.

Hundreds Waving Palestinian Flags Swarm U.S. Embassy Ahead of Biden’s Visit to Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hundreds of Lebanese protesters, including some waving Palestinian flags, swarmed the US embassy in Beirut Tuesday evening in response to the massive blast at a Gaza City hospital that reportedly killed hundreds of people.

Police had to deploy tear gas to disperse the demonstrators who gathered outside the embassy hours ahead of President Biden’s arrival in neighboring Israel to show support for the Jewish state in its conflict with the terrorist group Hamas.

One protester was seen on video posted to social media scaling a barbed-wire fence surrounding the building in order to plant a Palestinian flag on the embassy’s flagpole as fellow ralliers cheered him on from below.

Elsewhere in Beirut, protesters descended on the French embassy.

The dual demonstrations came just hours after Lebanon-based terror group Hezbollah called for “a day of unprecedented anger” in Beirut after the deadly explosion at the Gaza medical center.
