Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is apparently feeling slighted and ignored as the attention of the world focuses on the Israel War against Hamas terrorists.

As unbelievable as it sounds, yes Zelenskyy has asked the Israeli government if he can come and get some attention.

This is not a parody.

(Via Axios) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wants to visit Israel in a show of solidarity with the country amid the fighting in Gaza, two Ukrainian and Israeli officials told Axios.

Behind the scenes: Zelensky’s office sent an official request to the Israeli Prime Minister’s office asking to coordinate a visit, the Ukrainian and Israeli officials said. (read more)

Caroline Glick is a stable, non-pretending voice of pragmatic deliberation as the Israeli response to the Hamas attack continues.   Notable in this update, is the brutal reality that many of the claimed 150 hostages have a status that cannot be solidly known.  Hamas has a vested interest in maintaining a hostage narrative as a defensive shield and talking point against the Israeli response, and nothing said in regard to the status of hostages can be relied upon.

Additionally, Mrs. Glick notes probing attacks from the North into Israel, from Lebanon and possibly Syria, appear intended to support the dilution of combat troop efforts into Gaza.  Full interview with News Nation below:

Please always remember.  CNN = State Dept.  WaPo = CIA.  NYT = DOJ/FBI/DNI. This constant will never change.

Today CNN is out with four reporter bylines on one story to push the official U.S. State Dept story that Iran had no idea Hamas was going to launch the attack against Israel. That’s the collective story, assembled by the people behind Joe Biden, and they are sticking to it.

Now, let’s cut through the pretending.  The State Dept is pushing the story the Biden team need them to, because the point of defending Iran is to maintain a friendly posture and dance with the devil.  The team behind Biden is hopeful that this approach will endear them to Iran so that Tehran will keep Hezbollah out of the fight.  It’s diplomatic pretending pushed on a global stage and managed by the PR firm of the State Dept through CNN.   That’s the ‘why’ of this story.

Now, read very carefully as to how it is constructed. You will see the couched terms and carefully edited propaganda.

CNN – The United States has collected specific intelligence that suggests senior Iranian government officials were caught by surprise by Saturday’s bloody attack on Israel by Hamas, according to multiple sources familiar with the intelligence.

The existence of the intelligence has cast doubt on the idea that Iran was directly involved in the planning, resourcing or approving of the operation, sources said.

The sources stressed that the US intelligence community is not ready to reach a full conclusion about whether Tehran was directly involved in the run-up to the attack. They continue to look for evidence of Iranian involvement, which caught both Israel and the United States by surprise.

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.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

While the hubris is a little stark, it’s worth contemplating that Facebook, META, Insta, Google, etc are likely involved in current behind-the-scenes activity that will keep compliance with the EU dictates.

The Dis, Mis, and Mal, information police are likely in full deployment. Not only in the EU and Canada, but also to a quieter extent in the U.S. systems.

Funny, how they are not worried about Ukraine misinformation. However, Israel -vs- Hamas misinformation… bad mojo.

The Biden administration has one goal in relation to supporting Israel, keep Hezbollah from entering the conflict.

Hamas has small rockets and inbred jihadi terrorists.  Hezbollah has precision missiles built up over time, more money, sophisticated targeting systems and a more disciplined approach.  Israel can enter Gaza and begin operations; it will not be easy at all, but it is possible.  However, if Hezbollah launches from the North, the U.S. will need to intervene on behalf of Israel.

That is the reason we keep seeing these statements:

Hezbollah will not engage Israel without direct approval from Tehran, Iran.  Currently Iran views the Biden administration as a useful ally.

From the perspective of Iran, they have an interesting decision.  Keep the happy geopolitical leverage they have with the Biden administration or put the Biden administration into a corner by activating their Hezbollah terrorists.

I don’t think Iran will approve Hezbollah for two reasons. First, because they will want to maintain the Joe Biden team’s usefulness for them.  Second, I doubt even Hezbollah realized how much success Hamas would have in the 10/7 attack.

Yes, there are massive geopolitical interests at stake in the Hamas attack against Israel. Yes, there are layers and layers of massive multinational corporate investments into the process of energy control, capture and change that is driven by competing interests. Yes, those trillions at stake are playing out in the world from Iran to Israel, to Ukraine, to Russia, to Azerbaijan, to Turkey, to Africa, and beyond. {Go Deep}

Yes, all of the political and state actors are playing a role and using their military resources as part of the positioning process. China, Russia, Iran, The United States, Europe, NATO, etc, all positioning and in the background trillions upon trillions being discussed and fought for. Yes, the ultimate high stakes public-private partnerships are leveraging everything right now…..

… But trust me, RIGHT NOW, that’s not where our immediate focus should be!

We need to narrow our viewpoints to a very specific field of vectors, protecting your family.

As all of this geopolitical crisis is playing out on the global stage, there are domestic interests who are in alignment with the global crisis. Their focus is the fundamental change and the upheaval of the globe in conflict as a gateway for those interests to advance. Right here, at home, literally coming to your neighborhood, is where your focus should be, because in the final analysis it is all connected.

Do not look so easily at the global horizon that you cannot see the crisis unfolding on our doorstep.

The people controlling Joe Biden admit at least 11 American citizens have been confirmed to have been killed in Israel. It is “likely” that American citizens may be among those being held hostage by Hamas, and the Biden administration is working with Israeli officials on “every aspect of the hostage crisis.”

The White House also notes that there are multiple American citizens whose whereabouts remain unaccounted for.

Joe Biden is expected to address the issues and read the statements prepared for him shortly. Livestream Links Below:
