On the issue of foreign policy influence, and on the issue of rebranding his political campaign Joe Biden’s trip to Israel was abject failure. Jordan, Egypt and even the Palestinian Authority refused to meet with him. The only thing left for the team in control of Joe Biden to do, was shift the purpose of the trip into a dynamic of magnanimous Joe wanting to fly around the world to provide moral support. Because Zoom and phone calls were not an option. lol
I’ll have more on this in a few minutes. In the interim here’s the officially prepared speech that Joe Biden read as prepared for him by the people in charge of foreign policy. WATCH:
[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Please have a seat. I come to Israel with a single message: You are not alone. You are not alone.
As long as the United States stands — and we will stand forever — we will not let you ever be alone.
Most importantly, the — I know the recent terrorist assault on the people of this nation has left a deep, deep wound.
More than 1,300 innocent Israelis killed, including at least 31 American citizens, by the terrorist group Hamas.
Hundreds — hundreds of young people at a music festival of — the festival was for peace — for peace — gunned down as they ran for their lives.
Scores of innocents — from infants to elderly grandparents, Israelis and Americans — taken hostage.
Children slaughtered. Babies slaughtered. Entire families massacred.
Rape, beheadings, bodies burned alive.
Hamas committed atrocities that recall the worst ravages of ISIS, unleashing pure unadulterated evil upon the world.
There is no rationalizing it, no excusing it. Period.
The brutality we saw would have cut deep anywhere in the world, but it cuts deeper here in Israel.
October 7th, which was a sacred to — a sacred Jewish holiday, became the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. It has brought to the surface painful memories and scars left by a millennia of antisemitism and the genocide of the Jewish people.
The world watched then, it knew, and the world did nothing. We will not stand by and do nothing again. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
To those who are living in limbo waiting desperately to learn the fate of loved ones, especially to families of the hostages: You’re not alone.
We’re working with partners throughout the region, pursuing every avenue to bring home those who are being held captive by Hamas.
I can’t speak publicly about all the details, but let me assure you: For me as the American president, there is no higher priority than the release and safe return of all these hostages.
To those who are grieving a child, a parent, a spouse, a sibling, a friend, I know you feel like there’s that black hole in the middle of your chest. You feel like you’re being sucked into it.
The survivor’s remorse, the anger, the questions of faith in your soul.
Starting at — staring at that empty chair, sitting Shiva. The first Sabbath without them.
They are the everyday things — the small things that you miss the most.
The scent when you open the closet door. The morning coffee you shared together.
The bend in his smile, the perfect pitch of her laugh, the giggle of your little boy — the baby.
For those who have lost loved ones, this is what I know: They’ll never be truly gone. There’s something that’s never fully lost: your love for them and their love for you.
And I promise you, you’ll be walking along some days and say, “What would she or he want me to do?” You’ll smile when you pass a place that reminds you of them. That’s when you know — when a smile comes to your lips before a tear to your eye — that’s when you know you’re going to fully make it.
That’s what will give you the fortitude to find light in the darkest hours when terrorists believed they could bring down — bring you down, bend your will, break your resolve. But they never did, and they never will.
Instead, we saw incredible stories of heroism and courage of Israelis taking care of one another.
Neighbors forming watch groups to protect their kibbutz, opening their homes to shelter survivors.
Retired soldiers running into danger once again.
Civilian medics flying across rescue — flying rescue missions. And off-duty medics at the musical festival caring for the wounded before coming victim — before becoming a victim themselves.
Volunteers retrieving bodies of the dead so families could bury their loved ones in accordance with Jewish tradition.
Reservists leaving behind their families, their honeymoons, their studies abroad without hesitation.
And so much more.
The State of Israel was born to be a safe place for the Jewish people of the world. That’s why it was born. I have long said: If Israel didn’t exist, we would have to invent it.
And while it may not feel that way today, Israel must again be a safe place for the Jewish people. And I promise you: We’re going to do everything in our power to make sure that it will be.
Seventy-five years ago, just 11 minutes after its founding, President Harry S. Truman and the United States of America became the first nation to recognize Israel. We have stood by your side ever since, and we’re going to stand by your side now.
My administration has been in close touch with your leadership from the first moments of this attack, and we are going to make sure we have — you have what you need to protect your people, to defend your nation.
For decades, we’ve ensured Israel’s qualitative military edge. And later this week, I’m going to ask the United States Congress for an unprecedented support package for Israel’s defense.
We are going to keep Iron Dome fully supplied so it can continue standing sentinel over Israeli skies, saving Israeli lives.
We have moved U.S. military assets to the region, including positioning the USS Ford carrier strike group in the Eastern Mediterranean, with the USS Eisenhower on the way, to deter — to defer further aggression against Israel and to prevent this conflict from spreading.
The world will know that Israel is — Israel is stronger than ever.
And my message to any state or any other hostile actor thinking about attacking Israel remains the same as it was a week ago: Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.
Since this terrorist attack — terrorist attack took place, we have seen it described as Israel’s 9/11. But for a nation the size of Israel, it was like 15 9/11s. The scale may be different, but I’m sure those horrors have tapped into so- — some kind of primal feeling in Israel, just like it did and felt in the United States.
Shock, pain, rage — an all-consuming rage. I understand, and many Americans understand.
You can’t look at what has happened here to your mothers, your fathers, your grandparents, sons, daughters, children — even babies — and not scream out for justice. Justice must be done.
But I caution this: While you feel that rage, don’t be consumed by it.
After 9/11, we were enraged in the United States. And while we sought justice and got justice, we also made mistakes.
I’m the first U.S. president to visit Israel in time of war.
I’ve made wartime decisions. I know the choices are never clear or easy for the leadership. There’s always costs.
But it requires being deliberate. It requires asking very hard questions. It requires clarity about the objectives and an honest assessment about whether the path you are on will achieve those objectives.
The vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas. Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people.
Hamas uses innocents — innocent families in Gaza as human shields, putting their command centers, their weapons, their communications tunnels in residential areas.
The Palestinian people are suffering greatly as well. We mourn the loss of innocent Palestinian lives. Like the entire world, I was outraged and saddened by the enormous loss of life yesterday in the hospital in Gaza.
Based on the information we’ve seen to date; it appears the result of an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza.
The United States unequivocally stands for the protection of civilian life during conflict, and I grieve — I truly grieve for the families who were killed or wounded by this tragedy.
The people of Gaza need food, water, medicine, shelter.
Today, I asked the Israeli cabinet — who I met with for some time this morning — to agree to the delivery of lifesaving humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza. Based on the understanding that there will be inspections and that the aid should go to civilians, not to Hamas, Israel agreed that humanitarian assistance can begin to move from Egypt to Gaza.
Let me be clear: If Hamas diverts or steals the assistance, they will have demonstrated once again that they have no concern for the welfare of the Palestinian people and it will end. As a practical matter, it will — it will stop the international community from being able to provide this aid.
We’re working in close cooperation with the government of Egypt; the United Nations and its agencies, like the World Food Program; and other partners in the region to get trucks moving across the border as soon as possible.
Separately, I asked Israel that the global community demand that the International Red Cross be able to visit hostages. I just demanded that the United States fully — a just demand that the United States fully supports.
Today, I’m also announcing $100 million in new U.S. funding for humanitarian assistance in both Gaza and the West Bank. This money will support more than 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians, including emergency needs in Gaza.
You are a Jewish state. You are a Jewish state, but you’re also a democracy. And like the United States, you don’t live by the rules of terrorists. You live by the rule of law. And when conflicts flare, you live by the ru- — law of wars.
What sets us apart from the terrorists is we believe in the fundamental dignity of every human life — Israeli, Palestinian, Arab, Jew, Muslim, Christian — everyone.
You can’t give up what makes you who you are. If you give that up, then the terrorists win. And we can never let them win.
You know, Israel is a miracle — a triumph of faith and resolve and resilience over impossible pain and loss.
Think about October 7th — the Jewish holiday where you read about the death of Moses. A tragic story of a profound loss to an entire nation. A death that could have left he- — a helpless — hopelessness in the hearts of the entire — of an entire nation.
But though Moses died, his memory, his message, his lessons have lived on for generations of the Jewish people as well as many others — and just as the memory of your loved ones will live on as well.
After reading the story of Moses’s death, those who observe the holiday begin reading the Torah from the very beginning. The story of creation reminds us of two things. First, that when we get knocked down, we get back up again and we begin anew. And second, when we are faced with tragedy and loss, we must go back to the beginning and remember who we are.
We are all human beings created in the image of God with dignity, humanity, and purpose. In the darkness, to be the light unto the world is what we’re about.
You inspire hope and light for so many around the world. That’s what the terrorists seek to destroy. That’s what they seek to destroy but — because they live in darkness — but not you, not Israel.
Nations of conscience like the United States and Israel are not measured solely by the example of their power. We’re measured by the power of our example.
That’s why, as hard as it is, we must keep pursuing peace. We must keep pursuing a path so that Israel and the Palestinian people can both live safely, in security, in dignity, and in peace.
For me, that means a two-state solution.
We must keep working for Israel’s greater integration with its neighbors. These attacks have only strengthened my commitment and determination and my will to get that done.
I’m here to tell you that terrorists will not win. Freedom will win.
So, let me end where I began. Israel, you are not alone. The United States stands with you.
I told the story before and I’ll tell it again of my first meeting with an Israeli prime minister 50 years ago as a young senator. I was sitting across from Golda Meir at her desk in her office. And she had a guy named — a guy who later became prime minister sitting next to me, just before the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
And she flipped the maps up and down, te- — telling me how bad things were and how terrible they were. All of the sudden, she looked and me, and she said, “Would you like a photograph?”
And I looked at her — she got up from her desk and walked out into that hallway — I think it’s marble flooring — walked out in the hallway.
We walked out, and there were a bunch of photographers standing in front of us. We were standing shoulder to shoulder.
Without her looking at me, she said to me, knowing I’d hear her, “Why do you look so worried, Senator Biden?” And I said, “Worried?” Like, “Of course, I’m worried.” And she looked at me and — she didn’t look, she said, “We — don’t worry, Senator, we Israelis have a secret weapon: We have nowhere else to go.”
Well, today, I say to all of Israel: The United States isn’t going anywhere either. We’re going to stand with you. We’ll walk beside you in those dark days, and we’ll walk beside you in the good days to come. And they will come.
As you say in Hebrew, which I’m not going to attempt to do because I’m such a terrible linguist, I’ll say it in English, “The people of Israel live.” “The people of Israel live.”
Israel will be a safe, secure, Jewish, and Democratic state today, tomorrow, and forever.
May God protect all those who work for peace. God save those who are still in harm’s way.
Thank you very much.
Who ordered the IDF to stand down while these atrocities occurred?
THAT is who is responsible! THAT is the ENEMY!
Don’t forget a lot of the recent protests in Israel were astroturfed and funded by both American and European interests. They were directly involved in trying to undermine the Israeli government and in particular Netanyahu through their favorite means, election interference. Ask yourself what happened between then and now in only a few short months. The answers are pretty evident …
* The CIA and rest of the Deep State have entered the chat *
Entered?
Who do you think orchestrated and led this whole thing m?
Obamaphone bots.
Careful, comrade. We’re not supposed to question how both Israeli and US intelligence missed an attack of this scale.
Speaking of US intelligence,
“The only thing left for the team in control of Joe Biden to do”…is get rid of him.
Not yet kameltoe is not an option
Nor is Patty Murray…
Reviewing the unthinkable executive orders, refusing to close or even manage our borders, and the insane act of abandoning Afghanistan thus leaving billions in armament for the enemy and putting hundreds of American citizens with no planned exit….. am I the only person believing Biden is guilty of treason…not just corruption and collusion with foreign powers against the best interest of the United State but actual treason?
You are not the only one.
Years ago (in the 50’s) we electrocuted people for treason. Why did we stop?
No, the enemy is Hamas and those that helped the inbreds plan this attack. Is that our CIA and Iran?
The Muslim Brotherhood? Satan’s spawn, imo, all of them.
An Israeli drone shows hospital in Gaza fully intact after supposedly being hit by a rocket.
I suppose Joe had no idea of how big a lie he was contributing to today, but in a lifetime of lies what is one more? Right Joe?
Talib was on display today, crying for the children killed in the hospital, not the Jewish children killed by Hamas, who died a horrible and violent death at the hands of the religion of peace, but pretend children who were never harmed.
Maybe this deceit works with her supporters, but Talib should be drummed out of Congress.
Dare I say it, “By their fruits you will know them.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/exclusive-non-public-israeli-satellite-video-intact-al/
I saw photos of the babies in the hospital, piled into a bag together.
Horrible. Meir said it best, peace will come when Palestine loves its children more than it hates Israel. They murdered their own children. That Talib, part of the party in this country that supports wholesale slaughter of children from conception until after birth, would support this should surprise no one.
The only difference between Democrats and Hamas is their ability to execute…their plans.
Maybe those were Jewish babies you saw piled together.
I’m not aware Hamas stole that many of them.
Maybe it was an old picture from ten years ago that Omar was trying to pass off last week.
15 years, a 5year old has passed thru the indoctrination schools and are now 20year old terrorists with no morals. They have no future and no value of human life. The West has infiltrated the education system and indoctrinated youth the same way for 40years.
I see it every day. grandparents have a heavy assignment. I dont know one who has given up, even so.
I read your comment and the first thing I thought of was the line, “who ordered the code red”. And you know the answer would be accurate to your real question. People can’t handle the truth and that is why they must not ask the questions.
Prolly the same jackass that told Hamas how to over load the iron dome security network
Don’t care about it now. What human kills another human, rapes anyone, kidnaps people purely because they are there. If you can’t see the sub- human trait at the base and want to divert to side issues, I feel sorry for you and your family. Look around you at your friends and neighbours, think if you could do that to them.
This so reminiscent of ’73, when Golda Meir had to take the brunt for her Minister of Intelligence lying to her about the fact that their new ultra-expensive security system was not only not tested yet, but it was OFF prior to the invasion. So, no intelligence.
“By the twentieth day, both sides agree to the further diplomatic talks and to exchange POWs, effectively concluding the conflict. However, Zvi privately informs Golda that IDF military intelligence chief Eli Zeira had neglected to properly monitor signals intelligence from the Egyptian side, which allowed Israel to be attacked unaware; although appalled, she chooses to bear the blame instead. Despite the victory, the conflict’s intensity inflicts an emotional toll on the aged Golda, who is stricken with cancer.”
From Wikipoo. At least they know not to blame her outright.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golda_(film)
Who knows?
Hamas are not the majority of Palestinians? *Full stop*
Lies, filthy lies…
Plain and simple, pure evil running our government.
An awful lot of evil mixed with a massive amount of ignorance is a very bad mixture. The evil ones hire the ignorant and stupid ones to do the dirty work. IMESHO, will I be considered to be a “surrogate” and have a gag order placed on me???
Biden needs to back away. Mr. Netanyahu. You have a job to do. Let’s finish it.
And he STILL has not gone to visit East Palestine Ohio.
Nor the Southern border.
Maybe Joey and his handlers will consider that as his trip to “Palestine”???
Another horrible, horrible oversight leading one to believe Hamas is in charge of OUR government.
Yes, funds need to stay home for domestic incidents and emergencies. The US cannot afford to send $100M here and $100BILLION there for parties in conflict outside of our borders. We aren’t even protecting our borders. If you have not worked for the protection of US borders, why would you ask for money to protect a country thousands of miles away? I am sur a lot of private funding can happen to help, since Americans are very empathetic and do not want to see any children hurt, but foreign funding needs to cease at this time. The citizens of Maui, Ohio, Paradise could really use the support.
Did he really have to travel to Israel to give $100 million to its enemy?
He’s given over $100 billion to Zelenskyy and the other Ukrainian oligarchs thus far from the comfort of his basement straightjacket & padded room.
Congress happily went along with giving Ukraine that money.
include air jordan …?????
I like your comment
And how many millions to hitch a ride on AF1 for a three-hour tour?
This is the start and Socrates is never wrong. Those who read Armstrong know what I’m saying.
Please don’t post cryptic remarks about “secret” knowledge…explain your comment or delete it, please!
For many years (2011) I’ve followed Socrates that Armstrong economics created back in the 70’s, the only true AI computer. When I became familiar with Socrates in 2011, at first, I doubted it but I promise you, it’s never EVER wrong.
It’s not cryptic.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/
Socrates is a financial software that is supposed to track all the worlds markets and make projections for investors.
Martin Armstrong is the guy behind it.
thank you
Woooo

What a disgrace it is to the nation having the Demented Fraud stumbling bumbling around drooling some prepared for public consumption bs.

“Biden to deliver prime-time address on Israel and Ukraine“
https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/biden-to-deliver-prime-time-address-on-israel-and-ukraine-195922501623
Just remembered had dog crap in the yard to cleanup. Sadly, we’ll be missing the total bs.
Sounds like a plateau staged in the backyard on the creek.
I listened to the whole thing. Extremely horrible and painful to watch.
:For those who have lost loved ones, this is what I know: They’ll never be truly gone. There’s something that’s never fully lost: your love for them and their love for you.
And I promise you, you’ll be walking along some days and say, “What would she or he want me to do?” You’ll smile when you pass a place that reminds you of them. That’s when you know — when a smile comes to your lips before a tear to your eye — that’s when you know you’re going to fully make it.”
Aaannnnnnnnnnnd there it is…
Sounds like something Hallmark rejected for a condolence card.
Yes. Super cringey.
Well, it’s all a load of crap.
The only good thing I will say is Biden’s speech writer is more imaginative than Kamala’s.
Biden was supposed to be seen as the “master diplomat” whose shuttle diplomacy from Egypt to Jordan to Israel would line up Egypt and Jordan to take Palestinians, and thereby put pressure on Israel for a cease-fire and the opening of “humanitarian corridors.”
Except Egypt and Jordan didn’t want the Palestinians, Hamas and Islamic Jihad kept shooting rockets into Israel, as did Hizbollah, and Joe f*cked things up at the beginning by referring to the terrorists as “the other team.” And equating a car accident caused by his late wife to having one’s family beheaded.
The only thing he didn’t do was trip on the stairs. Or mention Beau “dying in Iraq.” Yet.
J.R.B., is a POS.
No matter just how folks try to tell others he is a good clown, he is a POS.
Somewhere… LIkely here, at the CTH… someone said that once a “Clown”is installed as a “President”, “Ruler” or “King”,
it only makes the rest of those in the rulers, or kings, “court”, or in the presidents, “administration”, just part of the “CIRCUS”.
We are seeing a CIRCUS….
Sad thing….
‘As long as the United States stands’…”me and my fellow DEVILS in the D party will keep chipping away now that we clearly have it teetering”
Oh I heard that line and it jumped right out at me…as long as it stands???
Pudding head biden is a controlled stooge.
I would say, what a dumbass.
But this ain’t about Biden anymore. It’s about his handlers. The true dumbasses. ‘They’ have absolutely lost their minds.
MAJOR Panic in DC!
Hysterically running around arms flailing, gnashing of teeth, literally.
who precisely are his handlers?
are they legitimate targets?
The handlers appear to be hiring rejected Hollywood scriptwriters to write for the teleprompter.
You must be new here.
His handlers are discussed often.
What do you mean by ‘legitimate targets?’ And in what context.
That is exactly something a Fed would ask to try to ‘bait’ someone into making a statement that could be construed criminal.
Nice try. NOT.
Find someone who you may have better luck with.
🤣😂😅🤣😂
Tears your soul apart thinking about what is being done to the innocent babies of the world–not just the Hamas attack either.
Two state solution? If I were Israel, I would say hell no. We have tried that. Hamas (and known to many Palestinians and supported by Palestinians) attacked thru tunnels, sent rockets many times. Gaza needs to be cleared of Palestinians forever. As Golda Mieier said, How do you negotiate with someone who says they want to kill you?
This asshole doesn’t even know what he’s talking about. Jews have been slaughtered for thousands of years. That’s the number one reason Israel was created. A safe homeland for their existence. And it’s been a continuing fight for their lives since 1948.
Joe Biden ain’t the sharpest pedophile in the shed…
it ain’t Joe: I want to know who’s manipulating his strings
It’s Howdy Doody Time!
See above response from Black Knight.
‘The State of Israel was born to be a safe place for the Jewish people of the world. That’s why it was born. I have long said: If Israel didn’t exist, we would have to invent it.”
Unbelievable. Israel is quoted in the Bible hundreds of time.
Isaiah 49:7 – Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation, the servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall prostrate themselves; because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
I do understand when the state of Israel was created. However, that statement just really rubs me the wrong way. It tries to imply that Israel was created out of thin air and that it wasn’t occupied by Jews until 1948.
Correct. The current state of political Israel was created in 1948. It’s been the homeland of Jews since ancient times.
Whoa. Hold on and wait a minute.
1. The State of Israel was born of the British Zionist movement led by Lord Rothschild culminating in the Balfour Declaration that created the Palestine Mandate that led to nationhood later.
That thought and mandate was created long before Hitler was even a thought in anyone’s eyes.
2. Who says and for what reason would “we” (Americans) would have to invent it? It wasn’t even a passing thought in the US except by Zionists at the time it was conceived.
3. When the Bible speaks of Israel, it speaks of a people, not a nation state. In ancient times, the word ‘nation’ mean a homogeneous ‘people’ not a geographical location.
Only for a brief time was there a Kingdom of Israel(ites) – 3 kings – Saul, David & Solomon.
That split into two kingdoms- “House of Israel” – no Jews; and House of Judah – Jews.
Their countries were called Samaria & Judea.
Please do not confuse “Israel” from the Bible with the nation state known as Israel.
That would be like the insult that Latin Americans feel when we citizens of the US call ourselves “Americans” to the exclusion of the rest of the Western Hemisphere.
All of them believe they are “Americans” also, just not citizens of the US, which they refer to as Estado Unidense.
Words have different meanings in different times and they are used to confuse the masses.
True. And the Zionist movement to create Israel was also seen as horrific. Prior to the creation of the state of Israel Jews, Christians, and Arabs all lived in this region. It just came across to me as trying to drum up that whole idea of “we would have to invent it.” Reminding people…
That is all I meant when I said that statement rubs me the wrong way.
Got it.
Noe’s coughs
were the most authentic sounds emanating from his mouth.
Now launch the IDF Mr. Netanyahu.
my gosh he could actually get thru reading that long thing? another false flag for me. innocents die here and there but who cares .
I agree, the transcript seemed long and completely out of dementia Joe’s ability to deliver.
And this piece of sentiment was delivered after he was whisked to Israel on extremely short notice. Are we sure Bibi and friends did not fly here to Joe’s presidential production studio? Maybe that’s why the leaders of Jordan and Egypt told Biden to pound sand… They didn’t want to cross the pond.
I’m also ‘sus’ about 2 other things:
1) There are pix where ‘Biden’ has a very distinct cleft in his chin and other pix where it is not noticeable. The hairline, amount of forehead wrinkles, size of his teeth and even his right earlobe are different.
2) I cannot believe a man in Biden’s condition could fly to Israel, fly back to the U.S. and give a foreign policy speech the next evening.
You know how we always complain that the Democrats are always 100% in lockstep while the GOP is like herding a bunch of cats? Well, I think we’ve found a major fault line in the Democrat party between the old time Democrats who support Israel and the young activist Democrats who support Hamas and Iran. Its interesting that those two groups can 100% unify if the issue is mutilating children, murdering babies, men pretending to be women, confiscating guns and anything else that is evil and hurts America but the dividing line for them is muslim versus jew. We know they’re all unified when it comes to fighting Christians.
There is a very similar generational divide playing out in the Republican base right now. Speaking generally, it’s the older GOP voters that are the most hardcore pro-Israel, pro-war cheerleaders. The younger GOP base, having seen their friends shipped off to the Afghan and Iraq quagmires with little to show for it, are much more skeptical and have a more MAGA-focused “not my conflict” stance.

“United States Soldier. He was the last United States serviceman to be killed in the Vietnam War, dying a few hours before the cease fire took effect. He was the victim of a rocket which hit his barracks at DaNang air base.”
He wanted an Air Force career. Killed in his sleep. What a waste.
==============================
I don’t know if you can really call my age group pro-war cheerleaders. Please recall that the US military was dependent on the draft to fill the ranks. Some of these soldiers returned home and caught the disdain of the virtue signalers who called them baby killers.
Speaking of the draft, the corporate media was busy running pro-draft propaganda this past Monday afternoon:
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4253664-americans-support-mandatory-national-service/
With the significant decline in US military recruiting, what do Americans think is going to happen when the current conflict escalates in a multi-country entanglement? Do you think the military is really going to leave it up to genderspecials in the military to fight this war? Do you think it’s mere coincidence that only -now- when Middle East tensions are high that the corporate media is pushing for a draft?
The best way to honor Mr. O’Neal’s memory is stop sending American youth to go die in foreign wars. I sincerely hope readers take that into consideration every time they cheer for glass parking lots.
Joe: …and Golda turned to me and said, Joe, what should I do. I reminded her that my son Beau had just died from a roadside bomb planted by ISIS in Maryland. But she knew what I meant. That’s when my wife, Morgan Fairchild, said: hey, let’s beat it outta here Joey baby. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Joe left out the part about his son being killed by Hamas when he was serving in Iraq.
Who’s team is he on!?
Whoever’s giving him the next kid to sniff.
I could only get 4:10 into the video before I had to turn it off. All I could think of was this shill had a Werther’s candy in his front pant pocket for some little kid.
Pro Tip for Presidential staff-Give him a wet towel so he can wipe the spittle from the corner of his mouth. When he uses his fingers he could get people sick. We all know he is an incubator for Coronavirus. He gets Corona all the time. He is a “Super Spreader’
This Biden/Obama administration is lying when it says it is standing with Israel. As Caroline Glick pointed out in her video posted yesterday, the BO administration has prevented Israel from launching their ground invasion, causing morale problems with the army,ready to launch for days, telling Israel the U.S. will refuse to resupply Israel with needed munitions, some of which were transferred to Ukraine at Biden’s insistence just a few short weeks ago.
The BO administration wants Israel to give Hamas time to resupply with humanitarian aid which is BS. Hamas needs time to be resupplied by Iran and other terrorist organizations with more weapons. The BO administration is trying to make this happen.
The question is why?
Why? In order to start WWIII in order to reduce population in order to induce the New World order in order to enslave you and me.. if we survive.
Jesse Waters announce on his show that Biden is having an Oval Office address
tomorrow night on the War in Israel and the Middle East.
Pathetic. Whispered pandering while he stabbed them in the back behind closed doors, withholding aid until they agreed to let Egypt smuggle munitions in grain bags.
That’s one of the longer speeches I’ve seen from him in a while though, granted to a foreign audience instead of the citizens of the country he’s supposed to be working for.
Should have left it short and sweet. “Do what we say or we’ll let them kill you.”
Spit.
I just went through the transcript and it appears to be incorrect. My version includes the following comments by the leader when he went off script.
‘Let me tell you, folks, I’ve been around a long time, and I’ve seen a lot. I was there when Moses parted the Red Sea; I even gave him a high-five. I was there at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and let me tell you, those wigs were itchy. I was even there when the first man landed on the moon; Neil and I shared a sandwich. So when I say we stand with Israel, you better believe it’s coming from a guy who’s seen it all. Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get, but with me, you’re gonna get a follow call for a contribution from Hunter.”
“I lost a son when that Red Sea came back together. Couldn’t get out of the way in time”
.forgot the “bell” for notifications for the earlier comment..
SO, I will try again.
😉
Stu Burguiere said it best on Glenn Beck’s radio show this morning. Biden is like a mid-1970ies FIAT engine – you never know when either will break down.
Hmmm.
I think I am seeing more emotion than logic.
Maybe I am wrong.
I will wait.
😉
So why has the US shoveled billions; literally pallet loads of cash to Iran. Swiftboat John’s daughter even marries into Iranian aristocracy to bolster the ties. All the support to Iran makes the “sanctions” irrelevant, but that’s never bothered Obama to be a contradiction or talking out of both sides of his mouth or speaking with a forked tongue. These words by puppet Biden are just more of Obama’s contradiction.
OMG … what a patronizing pathetic speech – “Me and Golda back in the day …”. The Israelis having to listen to this old f-rt rattling on – so he says without an ounce of evidence that “the vast majority of Palestinians don’t support HAMAs” -Really ? Those hallowing mobs on the streets of Gaza Seemed pretty happy the other day (and in London and Detroit also btw – what do you have to say about that Joe ?) —But That announcement of 100 million to Gaza and West Bank was the “icing on the cake “ so to speak …
“vast majority of Palestinians don’t support HAMAs”
Then how did Hamas get elected?
(accent grave on ‘ELECTED’)
I haven’t heard Iran willing to provide safe passage for Palestinians to travel to Iran.
No one is asking Iran to do this either. What’s up with that?
“we will not let you ever be alone.” (we will never leave you alone)
Now that the war pigs smell endless war that is the one true statement
No matter what else, how it started or who instigated it; the fact that there are two carrier task forces moving into the Med spells major and long conflict.
I pray Israel rejects any further US or EU assistance and asks them to back off.
We the citizens of the USA and EU need to bring our governments to heel now.
Biden to Israel: “We will never let YOU be alone. We will keep Hamas right beside you, so close to you, just a stones throw away from you, killing you, bombing you and making your lives a living hell because that’s what democrats do to the people who trust them.
We in the Biden regime feel your pain and we like it, because that’s who we really are.
I’d also like to add the macabre comments Biden made about how they would miss their dead loved ones was horrible. Maudlin beyond belief! Opening the closet door. missing their scent…the bend of their smile, the perfect pitch of their laugh. OMG!! That was the last straw. Biden and his whole group of traitors should go straight to hell.!

Thick concrete slabs to protect deeper rooms from bunker buster bombs
2 observations:
— not a fatal mistake that Israel hasn’t mounted a large land invasion yet — it looks like they’ve still got plenty of juicy targets on their targeting intelligence lists; once Israel invades, they’ve got to curtail this kind of aerial bombardment so as not to kill their own troops
— reaffirms that Israel really does need eventually to blow these tunnels from the inside out; fill them with propane and ignite, for example
During WW2, the US Military used flame throwers effectively, to ‘burn up’ the oxygen within the caves, tunnels and bunkers, used by the Japanese Military. … Extremely harsh weapon, that worked, and +greatly reduced the casualties of the US Military.
What if the baseline assumption that Israel can do no wrong is incorrect?
I don’t understand our obsession with Israel. The Nation State of Israel that has existed for 75 years isn’t the Israel of the Bible. The Khazars who adopted Babylonian Talmudism are not the people of Judah.
I’d love for someone to explain the rationale to me, but no one ever does. Hell, most of my comments never make it past a moderator
I feel sorry for the “Jews” because they’re pawns in a rich man’s game like everyone else.
Hello American friends,
Here is my two cents of my Israeli viewpoint.
The first half of the speech was very comforting, showed great understanding to what we feel and all was good.
Until, he announced a $100,000,000 of aide to the Palestinians of Gaza and West Bank. I literally screamed.
In fact me and my wife had to play it a few times because we couldn’t believe the amount.
I would like to explain why it is so hurting. It’s hard to explain so bear with me. The US is 320,000,000 people, Jews in Israel are 7,145,000. The US is almost 45 times larger in population. So this would make the 1,300 death toll in the attack equal to
58,500 American deaths, 9/11 had 2,967 dead. This means that we had about twenty 9/11 s in US proportions. Twenty 9/11 s in one day. And it would mean like 135,000 injured and 11,000 kidnapped. And the torture and humiliation makes it even worse.
Now imagine that Mexico was responsible for it and Mexico was relentlessly trying to kill all of you and make your lives not safe. Then imagine that someone who claims to be your friend is coming in and lectures you that “Mexico is not Mexicans”and they are actually good people and he give them $100,000,000. This is A LOT for such a small population.
I am sorry that I was long but I really wanted to explain my feelings.
Now, I know that you here dislike Biden, I am a Trump fan myself and a regular here for some years. I know that your heart is in the right place and you feel not represented by Biden and his people and you have your own frustration of what those people did and are doing to your own homeland. So I understand you. My heart is with you brothers and sisters.
So back to the infuriating speech. Now he ended with giving us a lecture about “morality and the way to conduct a war in a moral way”. So not to make anyone wrong because war is bad and people die and sometimes it gets civilians. But in a quick Google search the post 9/11 civilian death toll is 432,000. I doubt that the US would have been concerned about civilians in Mexico if they killed 58,000 of your population and injured 130,000 of your people.
So just to top it all he now said we should have a two state solution.
So the terrorists are butchering our women and children and their people who put them in power will get a State and hundreds of millions of dollars. And I already told you before that those “moderates” that Biden want to put there are a minority and they will be toppled and we will have a Big large Hamas with another name in both Gaza and the West Bank and the recent slaughter will look like nothing compare to what would happen then. “Thank you Biden or whoever is running you”.
So to relax from my anger I need to somehow explain what I just saw.
A typical Liberal Progressive. Believing in awarding down statistics and penalizing up statistics.
Give money to the unproductive and wipe out the strong and productive and make them dependent on government.
This is nothing but suppression of the free. And this is what we are up against. Enslavers.
And the enslaver is not Biden. Follow the money and look for who is pulling the strings of the puppet.
And this is the end of my daily rant.
Love you all.
American patriots. You keep the light of freedom alive and God certainly Bless you!!!
David, in the first half of your comment you seem to be searching for some rational explanation for the non-rational
That’s kind of a fool’s errand when interpreting the actions of the present US government, which is embedded top to bottom with communists and “the underdog is always the victim, the oppressed” adherents
Then you get to this statement:
“Give money to the unproductive and wipe out the strong and productive and make them dependent on government.”
Exactly — you’ve hit on it
You and I would see that as a terrible social calamity
THEY see it as a mission statement
—-
May God bless you and your countrymen and women
… and Us eventually, we’re all going to need it
I agree
Joe Biden: “Today, I’m also announcing $100 million in new U.S. funding for humanitarian assistance in both Gaza and the West Bank.” You bet. It’s more millions to arm and train Hamas terrorists.
This is good stuff! Who is my speechwriter?
And will they buy it?

Hezbollah Calls For ‘Day Of Unprecedented Anger’ At Israel, U.S.; U.S. Issues Lebanon Travel Advisory
By Ryan Saavedra Oct 17, 2023
Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group that is based in Lebanon<————, called for a day of “unprecedented anger” directed at Israel after there was an explosion at a hospital in Gaza that killed hundreds of people.
April 8, 2021
The Honorable Antony Blinken
Secretary of State
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street, NW
Washington, DC 20520
Dear Secretary Blinken,
We write with concern regarding plans by the Biden-Harris administration to pour hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars into territories controlled by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas. We call on you to halt these expenditures until the State Department accounts for statutory restrictions and remedies known deficiencies in the distribution of such assistance, which have for years promoted and facilitated terrorism against Americans and Israelis.
On March 29, the Associated Press (AP) revealed that the State Department and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) had notified Congress of their intention to provide $75 million to the Palestinians in general economic support. The notification had been transmitted without public acknowledgement, and the State Department repeatedly and publicly declined to comment about it when asked by reporters. In contrast, the week before, the State Department had publicly and repeatedly announced a $15 million program to assist Palestinians in containing the COVID-19 pandemic. On April 6, the AP revealed and detailed another congressional notification related to Palestinian aid that had been transmitted without public acknowledgement, this one for $40 million for security and law enforcement. On April 7, the State Department issued a statement confirming the reported aid and some of the
details.
It is unacceptable that the Biden-Harris administration would seek to dampen public debate over these vast sums of general assistance. Since 1993, the U.S. government provided more than $6.3 billion to the Palestinians with the aims of, first, advancing the Palestinians’ capacity to build a state and, second, insulating and distancing Palestinian governance from terrorism. Measured by the degree to which they have achieved those aims, U.S. programs have not just failed but have been counterproductive, with the money facilitating terrorist incitement and making its way to terrorists. In just the last few weeks, U.S. government documents and announcements by the Palestinians have made clear those failings were systematic and structural.
If a Palestinian state was established today it would be a failed state, lacking political institutions, economic viability, a monopoly on the use of force by internal groups, and a non-terrorist government capable of exerting sovereignty over all claimed territories. PA President Mahmoud Abbas was elected to a four year term in 2005 but no subsequent presidential election has taken place, the Palestinian economy suffers from endemic corruption and requires outside intervention to function, Palestinian officials routinely blame violence and rocket attacks against Israelis on groups ostensibly beyond their control, and control over Palestinian areas is fractured between Fatah and Hamas.
Meanwhile the PA has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars every year to reward Palestinian terrorists and their families, with increased rewards in proportion to increased casualties. Among the beneficiaries of these so-called “pay-for-slay” programs was the family of Bashar Masalha, who in 2016 stabbed 11 people near Tel Aviv and murdered 28-year old U.S. Army veteran Taylor Force.

A**hole (pronounced “Antony”) Blinken has NO honor and is, in fact, dishonorable…
Biden and Blinken are being sued in federal court in Texas over this terrorist financing and more. The suit was filed in December 2022 and continues to go forward. Citing the Hamas attack that occurred on October 7th, the judge granted discovery in his order three days later on October 10th.
AFL Sues President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken to Enforce the Taylor Force Act and to Stop U.S. Funding of Palestinian Terrorism

Scroll down to the bottom of the page for a link to the original complaint in the lawsuit.
“Based on the information we’ve seen to date; it appears the result of an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza.”
There is a growing mountain of evidence that not only was the missile dropped by Israel but that it could only have come from Israel.
The claim is a missile from Gaza malfunctioned and it landed on the hospital. In the video presented as proof showing the errant missile we can see it exploded in mid-air i.e., it would have been all but spent when it fell to the ground. There is no way the spent remnants of a crude missile could have caused the massive explosion that we saw.
Another thing to consider is if, in fact, an errant malfunctioning crude missile caused all these fatalities it did something that no intact missile launched from Gaza has ever done. It killed hundreds of people at one time! After a decade of attacks from Gaza with 12,000 missiles launched a total of 22 people have died in Israel and yet in one night we are to believe a crude malfunctioning missile launched from Gaza caused all that carnage? And before someone says that there were munitions stored in the hospital we did not see secondary explosions.
In this video, a US Army vet and weapons specialist provides his assessment that this was a “JDAM” Joint Direct Attack Munition – dropped by Israel (provided by the US taxpayer). He bases his analysis on sound signatures and other characteristics. https://x.com/ShaykhSulaiman/status/1714767928870985866?s=20
Based on all the evidence that I have seen there can be little doubt that Israel deliberately dropped a precision-guided bomb on a Christian hospital that it knew was filled with children. Let that sink in!
Of course, in a case like this, the facts don’t matter. No U.S. President is going to call out America’s “greatest ally” for a barbaric attack on a hospital that violates every law governing war as well as every code of human decency and morality.
If Americans knew the truth I would hope that they would demand that their government stop all military aid to Israel. Otherwise, they are complicit in the killings of innocent children in a hospital.
Bullshit.
Your speculative conjecture is amateurish and infantile not to mention genocidally inflammatory.
We don’t know that a single soul perished in that typically self-inflicted Gazanian fail, yet you credulously cite the near impossibility that it killed hundreds despite merely burning some cars in a parking lot without damaging the building or creating a crater as an explosive would.
The short and shallow trajectory of the homemade jihadi weapon left it with plenty of unburned fuel to do damage on the ground, your supposition that all inflammable materials would have been completely consumed in the sky before the debris fell to the ground is specious at best.
Let that sink in.
Two days of Israeli stand down for Biden visit, the PM of England is next, followed by French PM two days each. Wait for humanitarian drops happen. It will be Christmas before anything happens or is this a head-fake where they are in the tunnels already.
B.A.R.F.
His exaggerated squinting gives me a headache just looking at it. What the hell is wrong with him?
“and we will stand forever”
What the hell even is that? These people have lost their minds. They can’t even do pablum well.
“The world watched then, it knew, and the world did nothing.”
We literally allowed Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor to force us into the war. Who wrote this crap?
“If Israel didn’t exist, we would have to invent it.”
We did, that’s why we’re in this mess.
“Israel must again be a safe place for the Jewish people.”
Nothing the US or they have done has brought them any closer to that goal. Maybe it’s time to try something new.
“Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.”
Lmao, did a child write this speech. What in the world ….
“Based on the information we’ve seen to date; it appears the result of an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza.”
No wonder people in power hate X. It exposes their ignorance. But that statement does give us a glimpse into what “information” Biden is being fed.
“Israel agreed that humanitarian assistance can begin to move from Egypt to Gaza.”
Good.
Good grief, that man is an embarrassment.
The video of him, in one on one discussion with Netanyahu, while reading from his little note cards, is all you need to see.
Hearing Joe Biden utter the words, “The United States of America” is a sickening insult to me.
Noodles.
That’s a great new nickname for the potato
