In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

HAMAS OFFICIAL SAYS GROUP IS OPEN TO DISCUSSIONS OVER TRUCE WITH ISRAEL (Reuters)
A senior Hamas official said the group is open to discussions over a possible truce with Israel, having “achieved its targets.”
…..It’s too late for talking,
But if Hamas wants to turn itself in for war crimes I think that would be a good idea.
Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu “We will turn all the places in this evil city where Hamas is hiding into ruins.
That is beyond words terrible. I cannot even imagine such barbaric acts from men with not one ounce of respect for life picking women and children to kill and posting it on social media. God please, come and give Justice for these innocents.
‘Here’s what happened on the last day of the lawfare trial of Trump’s attorney John Eastman for awhile; it won’t resume for over a week. Kurt Olsen, who is also representing Kari Lake, revealed that the number of state laws that were massively violated in the 2020 election in several states was staggering, resulting in thousands and thousands of illegal votes.
Signature verification halted in Detroit and Georgia,
early ballots opened early in Georgia,
over 7 million ballot applications mailed to voters who had not requested them in Michigan,
unmanned ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin,
massive increase in “indefinitely confined” voters in Wisconsin who avoided providing signature verification or voter ID,
ballots cured without running them past the voters in Wisconsin,
58,000 ballots returned on the mailed-out date in Pennsylvania, and 10,000 ballots received after the deadline in Pennsylvania were commingled.
And that doesn’t even go over the bombshells Eastman revealed in his testimony – and he’ll be testifying more the week after next.’
Lawfare Trial of Former Trump Attorney John Eastman, Kari Lake’s Attorney Goes over Significant Laws Broken in Various States During 2020 Election

God Bless John Eastman, it’s appalling how “justice” is being perverted to prosecute/persecute political opposition.
Persecuting attorneys is well down the path to Marxism.

The Great Pretenders

@shipwreckedcrew
There are two stories bouncing around re infiltration of US Defense and State Dept by Iran.
Cont…
Spy. Blood is in his hands.
Here is the rest of the tweet so no click needed:
…”open investigation of mishandling classified information — since he only dealt with Iran, it’s not hard to guess what country was involved. Hired by Biden.
2. Ariane Tabatabai, Chief of Staff to Assistant Sec. of Defense for Special Ops Christopher Maier, is a long-time member of the “Iran Experts Initiative” which is a front group consisting of “academics” and others who “assist” the U.S. Govt in dealing with Iran.
Email comms between her and various officials in the Iran Govt show that she has been taking directions from Tehran and reporting on matters learned in her capacity in DOD. Maier’s responsibilities on DOD’s website are described as “all special operations, irregular warfare, counterterrorism, and information operations policy issues and the oversight of special operations peculiar administrative matters, on behalf of the Secretary.”
These are two HUGE stories now given the events of the past 72 hours. A key feature of the Malley hiring is the fact that he has known Sec. of State Blinken since high school. The Biden Administration is compromised by foreign spies.”
High-Level Iranian Spy Ring Busted in Washington
The trail that leads from Tehran to D.C. passes directly through the offices of Robert Malley and the International Crisis Group
https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/israel-middle-east/articles/iran-spy-ring-robert-malley-lee-smith
…Why an Iranian operative is still at the Pentagon, especially in a job which gives her daily access to classified information that puts the country’s most sensitive military operations at risk, is another matter entirely. “The optimistic reading,” says Theroux, “is that they were watching her to see what she does and the FBI has her apartment all teched up. But to be an optimist you have to believe the FBI is clean, rather than see this as a huge counterintelligence failure. Though, of course, it’s not a failure if they were complicit.”
So far, however, the evidence points to a less optimistic reading: The Biden administration allowed Malley to push an Iranian agent into sensitive national security positions because she was best equipped to carry out the administration’s own policy—to appease a terror regime with American blood on its hands. Because the number of American officials who want to be responsible for protecting Iran’s nuclear weapons program is limited, the White House went outside the federal bureaucracy for someone who was well-connected to the regime, and would relish the job of advancing its interests—an Iranian spy.
Congress needs to demand the Biden White House make Malley and Tabatabai available to testify immediately. It must also press to interview the security officials who buried evidence of Tabatabai’s covert activities, putting her in a position to endanger the lives of American civilians and special forces operators. It’s time to find out why the interests—and now the personnel—of the Iranian “death to America” regime intersect so frequently with those of America’s own ruling party.
Inside Iran’s influence operation
https://www.semafor.com/article/09/25/2023/inside-irans-influence-operation
… “Covering Iran, either as an academic or a journalist, is a minefield. Access to both the country and Iranian officials is tightly controlled. And even opportunities come with serious caveats. During my visits to Iran as a reporter, I needed to provide my questions and story ideas to the Foreign Ministry ahead of arrival and hire a government-appointed fixer. This individual provided translations, but also clearly monitored my movements and meetings. I assumed Iran’s intelligence services were closely tracking me.
Tehran also aggressively pushes its information operations overseas, sometimes with success, sometimes not. An Iranian academic and permanent U.S. resident who used to contact me with his insights on Tehran’s nuclear program, a man named Kaveh Afrasiabi, was arrested in a Boston suburb in 2021 for allegedly working as an unregistered agent for the Iranian regime. He’s allowed to return to Tehran as part of the prisoner-swap agreement reached this month between the Biden administration and Iran, though Afrasiabi said he plans to stay in the U.S.
UPDATE: Afrasiabi, whose case was in the pre-trial stage before he was pardoned, contacted me after the publication of this story and denied ever acting as an agent advancing Iran’s interests. “I strongly object to such unfair and false characterizations that have seriously marred my reputation,” he wrote in an email. “My part-time international affairs consulting for Iran’s mission under the UN guidelines had absolutely no bearing on my wealth of books and articles…These include numerous articles clearly at odds with and critical of Iran.” He added: “I was a national security asset to US, and never a threat.”
It’s very hard to trust an FBI investigation the way they have comported themselves these last three years, but the allegations would not surprise me in the least.
3 years? Surely you jest?
I reported on this here early last week, that we had Iranian spies in the Delusinal Joe maladministration.

They better unify! Otherwise Hakeem Jeffries will be Speaker.
SD not sure if you saw this and not sure if this is possibly huge but
Times reporting special counsel Hur interviewed Biden about his document case over past two days.
Could this be the excuse for Biden bow-out and Michelle helicopter in?
All happening in midst of war or two? Perfect timing for them.
Nit that easy as she would have to be VP and approved by the a senate.
Never Trumper, Will Hurd, drops out of the repub primary and endorses Nikki Haley because orange man bad.
Did anyone even know he was running?
Anyway, Sundance, put a big red “X” in that box.
Kiss of death for Haley (as if she has any chance) Will Hurd is a disgrace. Stay irrelevant, dude. 🤬
@Troublemaker10, can we rename Will Hurd to Will-Turd or Willing-Turd?
Yeah, I reported on it here a long time ago. He just needed the 10% grift, like all the others.

Thank you, after his ouster from Faux for not being a staunch warmonger in Ukraine, he’s harder to find.
Breaking news (From Fox) – Special council Robert Hur has spent the last 2 days interviewing Joe Biden.
Possibilities:
1). Why Dopey Joe has been so scarce the past few days.
2). Another White House lie to cover for their latest foreign policy fiasco.
3). A move from the democrat apparatus toward taking Joe out of the game.
4). Another investigative sham pretending they’re going to actually hold Biden accountable.
.
5) One of his grandkids was at the ‘peace festival’, captured, and negotiating that kids release by selling all of the rest of the country out is the only thing he can focus on right now?
Even though I’m not into this “in your face” phase we’re going through here at the Treehouse, I have to ask: Do you have a link for that Debra? Is that a real thing because you’re the first I’ve heard say it. What I’m trying to say is, if you believe it’s a fact, support it with something-anything-or if it’s opinion-even though I concur it could be possible, say it’s your O. I guess this opens me up to charges that, YES, this poster is now into “in your face” posting!
.
Answering a post about ‘possibilities’ in numerical order to those previously posted, I, yes, too, can run with a possibility.
Yet, I punctuated with a question mark.
As in, there are numerous questions as to why Joe Biden cannot face reality, and come out, like a president ought to, and speak the truth as to what the hell is going on.
I am sick of ‘excuses’ by this administration. The scenario I ‘guessed’ at might be the only ‘excuse’ some Democrats will accept as valid, though the original post sure gave them more palatable ones for your consumption . . .
“Interviewing”
Operative word
Day 5 update on Colt McAbee’s trial from his wife Sarah:
We started the morning finishing the cross examination of the FBI. The agent seemed to have been less than competent regarding the investigation. There were several missing links, which were proven to the jury. Following that, Metropolitan Police Officer Sajumon took the stand. More evidence of Rosanne was played for the jury, while the evidence of Sajumon thanking Colt for his help that day was played over and over again. And then the moment we’ve all been waiting for, Colt took the stand. He was strong in his defense and stood in the truth. Today, after 780 days, he finally had his day in court to speak the truth. We are so proud of him. All parties have rested their case. The defense argued Article 29 saying the prosecution did not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. The judge is going to review over the weekend and make a ruling either over the weekend or on Tuesday. It’s a very positive thing that the judge did not shoot the motion down immediately. We will reconvene Tuesday morning with closing arguments and then the jury will go into deliberations.
Colt is strong. I’ve had a chance to speak to him for fifteen minutes in the evening once he’s been taken back to the jail. He knows the truth is on his side and this is just one of the bigger battles he’s fighting in this war. Everything that has happened in his life leading up to this point has prepared him for this exact moment.
We are at peace. We feel the presence of The Lord. Whatever may come of this, we know God already has it planned out. As I’ve said from the beginning, whatever God has chosen for these individuals is bigger than we could ever imagine.

This says it is commanded not to imprison women children and the elderly. Did he have anything to say about the slaughtering of them tha took place or is he okay with this? Give me a break–9/11 was 22 years ago. The barbarity has not let up at all since then.

Found this on CFR website. Thought interesting…
“The United States gave more than $6 billion in aid to the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) between 1950 and 2018, when U.S. aid to the Palestinians began shrinking under Trump. His administration reduced assistance to the West Bank and Gaza and discontinued contributions to UNRWA. In 2019, Trump signed an antiterrorism law that allowed Americans to sue recipients of U.S. foreign aid, including the PA, over alleged complicity in acts of war. Fearing lawsuits, the PA requested that Washington cut off its aid. Though the antiterrorism law remains in effect, the Biden administration has resumed aid to the West Bank and Gaza, pledging to provide the Palestinians at least $500 million by 2024, pending congressional approval.”

Sounds right to me from other articles I have read.
Students at Indiana University stand with Israel (not all college kids are indoctrinated it seems)…
I know that everyone is upset over what happened to Israel and It hurts all of us in our hearts and tonight I am praying for them
and hope that some how Israel will kick Hamus and not look up until its really finished and that country is down on the ground
I would like to say something else tonight about Ron Desantis , Fox had refused to put out an ad that shows this guy in full military outfit with the big rifle that they use in the middle east, but someone put it out today and when looking at the whole ad, that is not the only lie in it but then this guy will lie cheat and talks crap about President Trump to no end if it will get him where he wants to go. I am sorry because I have listened and I have watched this guy and he is nothing but one big phony and when they give him the nomination and he has to spend time in front of people they are going to see him for exactly what he is.
He’s not getting anything except a ride back to the Florida Governor’s mansion, temporarily.

Without a Second Amendment Private Gun Ownership Low in Israel

…. ‘As the world watches the atrocities of the past few days unfold in Israel — including Hamas terrorists going door to door to kill Israelis — it is notable that Israel does not have a U.S.-like Second Amendment and private gun ownership among Israelis is low.
The BBC reported that “Israeli gun ownership is low at about 2% of the population.” In contrast, the findings of a recent study by Rutgers University’s New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center estimated upwards of six in ten Americans own guns.’…
