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…

The Freedom From Religion group seems to have made it their reason for being to eradicate signs of Christianity in the public square. Visit their website and see their “victories”. It is sad, because so much of what is good and beautiful about our society comes from the Judeo-Christian culture. You are right that folks need to push back. Prayer is a peaceful, beautiful way to support those around you. It seems odd that someone would find prayer offensive, except that it forces them to think about eternity and faith. I guess that triggers hate in some folks.

Suspicion surrounds ex-Iran envoy Rob Malley after Israel attack: ‘Worst State Department scandal’
Excerpt:
“These reports could not be more concerning, and they hint at what could be the worst State Department scandal since Alger Hiss,” Issa added.
“Malley and others created an incredibly permissive environment for Hamas, for Iran, to do all these things,” added Gabriel Noronha, a former special adviser on Iran at the State Department.
Noronha, who served under former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, said Malley and his negotiating team “purposefully funneled billions of dollars to [Iran] through lack of sanctions enforcement and provision of sanctions relief that has given them somewhere between $50 [billion] and $80 billion over the last two and a half years.”

This is the same sort of speculative crap tossed at President Trump.
Sundance just observed something that can’t be ignored. You can read it here.
Here’s what he had to say:
“The Biden administration has one goal in relation to supporting Israel, keep Hezbollah from entering the conflict.“
What does that tell you?
Personally speaking, the more we dig our nose into this, the more I suspect that Netanyahu did indeed know about this attack in advance and intentionally allow it to happen.
If true, then he is a monster and I hope Trump has nothing to do with him come 2025.
You are desperately trying to connect disparate dots. It’s not working.
Biden is using this conflict as an excuse to provoke a war with Iran. Which is something he wants and perhaps is something Netanyahu wants as well.
This is the exit ramp out of the Ukrainian disaster that Biden and the Neocons desperately need.

Foreign aid has to stop. It is unconstitutional to take our tax dollars and send them out of the country for anything that is not directly related to the common defense or general welfare of the United States. Getting rid of this would do wonders clamping down on CIA/State shenanigans around the world, and eliminate the politicians’ grift corruption of the sort we see in, e.g. Ukraine.
Here is one legal article, which although it talks in terms of “humanitarian aid” also should apply to military aid where there is no declared war or direct benefit to the U.S. This is theft of taxpayer funds, and was not what was intended when we authorized income taxes.

O.K., so sometimes I’m a little harsh when it comes to Admiral Obvious'(aka VDH) writings because it consists mostly of ‘observations’, well written of course, and not offering any solutions.
This piece is pretty good, but although it written in his typical ‘style’ he starts naming the names of those primarily responsible for setting up the catastrophe, which a lot of people knew was (intentionally) in the making –
Victor Davis Hanson on X: “The Late, Great Hamas Finally Got Its Wish–And . . . ?

START –
The Late, Great Hamas Finally Got Its Wish–And . . . ?
Ever since Hamas was “elected” to run Gaza, and then followed the usual “one election/one time” Middle-East formula, it has bragged nonstop that its agenda was to erase Israel off the face of the earth (cf. the wall map in the office of our Representative Tlaib).
Its unabashed nihilist boasts resonated throughout the Palestinian “movement.” Its fiery threats delighted the Arab street.
Indeed, Hamas was soon celebrated as the most “authentic” of the radical Palestinian terrorist movements.
Which cadre of thugs could top its end-of-days rhetoric, its assured and steady supply of money and weapons from Iran, its satanic eagerness to mutilate and dismember, and the sanctuary and financial wherewithal offered to it by our “ally” Qatar?
None.
Since it was viewed as the most “volatile” and creepy of the Palestinian factions, and the most useful to Iran, the Obama and Biden Administrations appeased its murderers. Was it not part of their hare-brained grand strategy of empowering theocratic Iran, and its Syrian, Hezbollah, and Hamas hirelings?
Their campaign (remember the “they literally know nothing” media and the Obama “echo chamber” created by a boastful Ben Rhodes?) was to forge these disparate Islamists into a crescent of resistance to Israel and any “moderate” Arab regime (recall the Obama-Biden transitory hatred of the Gulf sheikdoms).
The result would be “creative tension” —as well as payback for the Israeli election of Netanyahu.
Through this formula, Obama believed he could always pressure Israel to grant concessions to radical Palestinians, thanks to the looming threat of an ever menacing (and soon to be nuclear) Iran, with help from Obama’s other friends—the then Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt and his pal, the neo-Ottomanist and anti-Semite Erdogan of Turkey, Obama’s self-described personal liaison to the Islamic world.
Yes, of course, this was sheer madness—if perhaps characteristic of Obama’s well-known orneriness.
Perhaps someday soon, a few disinterested historians might even record that the current nightmare in Israel is the logical end-result of what Barack Obama, John Kerry (remember his Trump-era Paris reconnaissance with the Iranians?), Ben Rhodes, Valerie Jarrett, Robert Malley, Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, and a host of other incompetent but otherwise haughty and dangerous people once conjured up.
A defiant, and empowered murderous Hamas was one of the many dividends of their appeasement and grand Middle-East schemes—given the eagerness of the Obama and Biden administrations to send hundreds of millions of dollars into Gaza, despite warnings from their own experts that such cash would enhance terrorism and abet the evil work of Hamas with an American financial stamp of legitimacy.
Hence, a soon to be nuclear Iran, freed from sanctions, had enough money (remember the nocturnal cash pallets on the Tehran tarmac?) to fund its surrogate global death squads.
Hamas has killed Jewish civilians for nearly two decades, always escaping the full wrath of Israel retaliation by appealing to the amoral consciousness of leftwing European and American governments. It counted on ample help from both Iran and Arab regimes, along with Turkey, which always screams “instability” at the first sign of Israeli retaliation.
The blustering Hamas has now murdered 1,000 Jews in their homes, preferring especially to gun down children, reportedly behead babies, torture the doomed, rape the helpless, execute the elderly, and brutalize women—and topping the killing off in good SS fashion by gleeful dismemberment and desecration of Jewish corpses.
So, they finally got their wish for their own version of the Holocaust, for what they had always bragged would be the “final” Israel-ending war—as their cowardly elders announced last Saturday from their protected enclaves.
Yes, Hamas promised their mass killing of innocents would ignite the Muslim world, incite simultaneous attacks on Israel from Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and perhaps Egypt—all as their planned anniversary replay of the Yom Kippur War’s first 48 hours.
And it may—or may not.
The ebullient people of Gaza seemed initially enthralled at videos of mutilated Jews, and showed their zeal by spitting on hostages carried back home for supposed Roman-like triumphs before their public sacrifices. Videos of the gruesome killings of Jews were hot downloads on Gaza mobile phones.
Now mutilating dead Israelis, now boasting how brave their sons were in slaying unarmed jews inside Israel, Gazans assumed a shocked Israel would capitulate.
Would not its megaphones in the West characteristically protect them and restrain Israel?
Could not they themselves always ensure a few thousand of their own civilians be sacrificed as expendable human shields of their missiles pads, and thus become necessary fuel for their boilerplate accusations of “war crimes” that usually curtailed Israeli retribution?
But now the Israeli retaliation seems oblivious to all that.
It may not be like the past incursions into Gaza that were manipulated by a cowardly Hamas to gain media sympathy for “collateral damage” that they themselves had engineered.
Predictably, as Israel ramps up the air attacks and prepares for the ground assault, the global media is showing a concern for civilian collateral damage in a way it never quite did for murdered Jewish innocents and beheaded infants.
Western governments are terrified of Middle East killers who may return to their previous attacks on their European citizens. After all, Western leftwing suicidal immigration policies have ensured large unassimilated Muslim populations. Millions have fled the self-created violence and tyranny of the Middle East only to cheer it on from a safe distance in their adopted Western homelands, whose welcoming of these “refugees” is now so often reciprocated with sheer contempt for the apologetic hosts.
Nonetheless, the Gaza crowds of 48 hours ago who were boasting their sons murdering with impunity and spat on bound defenseless women, are now aggrieved. But they might as well be barking at the moon about the supposed “unfairness” of the Israeli air counterattack.
Among the rubble of once Hamas high-rises they are weeping for media cameras, calling on a corrupt and anti-Semitic UN for accustomed relief, threatening on spec the West with who knows what (is it now infant beheading or body dismemberment?), and in general suddenly quite unhappy about their “final” war they just recently boasted was all but won.
Will the heroic legions of Hamas who beheaded and raped now pour out in the streets to fight the IDF and push them into the sea as promised?
Perhaps not?
Some final thoughts: Why has Iran gone from bragging three days ago about its training and tutelage of the Hamas killers suddenly to pleading that while it is certainly delighted about the beheadings, rapes, executions, and mutilations, it technically had no actionable role in ensuring them?
The truth is that a Hamas right now is alternately threatening and begging Western governments, beseeching its suddenly mum Iranian suppliers, whining that Hezbollah and the PNA have not yet sufficiently shared the bloodletting of this war, and generally railing for more jihad from a few of its increasingly so-so, nonplused Middle-Eastern sponsors.
Hamas fears it may have boxed itself in, with two American aircraft carriers between it and Iran, with private satisfaction from many Arab states that their nuisance Hamas might at last have committed suicide through its mass homicide, with even fanatic supporters hard-pressed to make their “moral” case for the beheading of babies, and with a half-million IDF soldiers headed their way to deliver upon them divine justice, perhaps in the Lincolnesque Second Inaugural sense of “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”
Translated, that means for the first time in its existence an unholy Hamas may not get out of its self-created rendezvous with what it has so duly earned, given there is now no assurance of third-party relief and thus no restraint on Israel.
Even a shaken and shamed Biden administration—guilty of an open border and its de facto support for Hamas and Iran, but suddenly scared of a furious election-cycle American public—may for a while not call off Israel.
The arrogant but half-educated Harvard crowd, the European Islamists, the woke and pampered anti-Semites on Western campuses, the AOC socialists, the pro-Hamas Squad, the BLM chorus who cheered on the Hamas glider death attack, of course CAIR, and all the usual suspects for now are as furious as they are impotent—petulant that for once, just this once, and for a while longer at least, no one is listening to their oh so tired amoral defense of the indefensible.
END.

Eighty percent of Republicans answered they would vote for PDJT.
But the 30% of Democrats claiming they either will, or probably will vote for PDJT …… is probably a vast undercount. IMO there must be a vast number of Dems in the pure blue cities of America who would never ever admit to a stranger on the phone claiming to be a pollster that they would vote for PDJT.
Anyway, it appears that at least one third of registered Democrats are not marxists, neomaoists, looters, rioters, leftist progressives or are scared to tell a stranger on the telephone that they intend to vote for Trump.
Which leads me to wonder how many Dems wouldn’t dream of publicly stating they are voting for Trump. Why? Because they choose to not deal with any freakish nasty backlash from neighbors, coworkers, employers, customers, family members and even friends.
This would apply to Dems living in apparently staunch Blue Urban Areas.
I predict there are lots &lots of stealth undercover secretive Democrats who will cast their votes for PDJT.

These are those targeted by the R’EFFN’K campaign.

Update from Arizona ? Sinema no longer popular ? A one and done ? Gallegos , had to look him up , a corporal in Marine combat in Iraq and a Progressive Dem . – an oxymoron ? – Do they have ranked voting yet there ( very bad ) . This looks like a tough fight for Kari – Hobbs was a goofball , and they dragged her over finish line ( with a lot of shenanigans ) . Seems won’t have to try as hard with Gallegos – ?
Do not necessarily agree with S’s caveat – Perhaps Egyptian Intelligence following chain of command – not that easy to get to the top -can you say unequivocally “Al – Sisi really knew”? -don’t think so – Maybe Suspicion / whatever by them only went so high and not to the top, order – give Israelis a yellow flag warning ?? . – But who the heck knows ?
