The world’s only one man media empire
A failed impeachment vote, a failed aid to Israel vote, and the even more spectacular failure of a supposedly bipartisan border security bill in less than 72 hours caps a week that will live in infamy. Last year, I opined that the Republicans can’t count following the disastrous ousting of Speaker of the House Kevin… Continue reading Republicans can’t count part two, and other recent obscenities in Congress
We’re de-escalating the situation by escalating it, and we’re launching acts of war to avoid a war, both strategies no one can really make sense of and no one would should be surprised are not producing any measurable result. Over the weekend, the Biden Administration responded to the recent killing of three American servicemen by… Continue reading Biden’s increasingly bizarre approach to the Middle East is caused by a lack of vision behind his actions
The UNRWA has a long history of flirting with if not outright supporting terrorism, which is one of the reasons former President Trump cut off funding in 2018. Otherwise, the UN itself was chartered primarily to allow Soviet Russia to influence world affairs, making it a cesspool in 1945 and an even worse cesspool today. Last… Continue reading Why is anyone surprised the UN’s Palestinian Relief Agency is crawling with terrorists and President Biden is doing nothing about it?
2024 will be defined by a confluence of events most of which remain completely unpredictable, far more so than most years in modern memory. Call it the quantum mechanics or Schrödinger’s cat of years, where we will not know what happens until the waveforms collapse into history. 2020 was considered an extraordinary dumpster fire of… Continue reading 2024 might make 2020 seem like an ordinary year
While the President accuses Israel of what would have been considered a war crime in World War II, completely and totally botching the historical reality of US policy in the process, he and others who insist Israel is killing too many civilian refuse to provide any number of acceptable casualties of their own. Immediately after… Continue reading Honest questions: How many Palestinian dead is an acceptable figure and what exactly did President Biden mean by standing “shoulder to shoulder” with Israel?
The promise was that Joe Biden represented a return to normalcy and competence, but his administration lacks even the normalcy or competence to produce a Christmas video without politicizing the holiday season. In a sane world, producing a holiday video at the White House should not be either difficult or controversial. Conservatives might well demand… Continue reading The White House Christmas video says it all
Globally, 828 million people go to bed hungry. Some 700 million live in poverty. 72% of the population, lives under authoritarian rule while some 5 billion do not have access to adequate medical care. Why do a relative handful on a small strip of land matter so much? To many progressives, the fate of Palestine seems to… Continue reading Honest Question: Why are the Palestinians so special?
Remember when the Tea Party movement that formed under President Barack Obama was maligned as a racist haven for white supremacy by many of the same people who are now studiously avoiding a discussion of the rampant antisemitism in their midst? In principle, it is possible to be a supporter of Palestine without being an… Continue reading Palestine, Hamas, Israel, and antisemitism: Good faith is hard to find
Clarity of purpose in war is essential. The enemy must understand and believe you will do whatever it takes to achieve your objective. How is a war supposed to end when your enemy doesn’t even know what you want in the first place? Last week, President Joe Biden said what most needed saying about the… Continue reading Biden cannot continue to be at war with himself over Israel and Hamas, or Russia and Ukraine
Underground tunnels beneath a hospital? Hostages taken through a hospital? Weapons caches inside a hospital? Where have we seen this impossible standard of evidence before? When no evidence of any kind is ever enough? The big news over the past few days as been the humanitarian pause or cease-fire if you prefer in exchange for… Continue reading The media applies the impossible Biden standard of evidence to Israel
