It was hardly unexpected, but just as the American presidential campaign was being turned on its head, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu landed in Washington on Monday evening to meet with the American president, though who that is can seemingly change from day to day.
This week, it was the feckless and untalented Vice President Kamala Harris, who overnight became the darling of the Democratic Party, and stood out as Biden’s most likely successor. The vast majority of Democrats in Congress as well as the country’s Democratic governors have pledged their support for Harris to lead the Democratic ticket after Biden stepped down due to internal pressure.
The argument that 14 million primary voters voted for Joe Biden to be their Democratic presidential nominee is nonsense given that the party did not allow any other candidates to compete with him, and that may have been the plan all along.
Case in point is the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is a lifelong Democrat and from one of America’s premier political dynasties. He was determined to compete in the Democratic primaries against Biden, but the party honchos made it impossible for Kennedy to appear on the ballot in any state. Running as an independent, he attempted to secure ballot access in all 50 states, but his opponents in the Democratic Party blocked him with multiple lawsuits.
And now, with President Biden announcing that he will not be running for re-election, it looks like the party, led by people like Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Senator Chuck Schumer, have anointed Kamala Harris as the candidate to oppose Donald Trump on November 5.
If there ever was a personality who was unfit and unqualified to serve as president of the U.S. it is Kamala Harris. But in this case, as with the cognitively impaired Biden, it doesn’t really matter who the candidate is since whoever they choose will just be taking orders from unidentified Democratic Party apparatchiks.
But just as all this turnover is occurring, it is not the president of Portugal or Argentina who is flying into Washington, but Benjamin Netanyahu, a critical ally. For Democrats, sadly and unfortunately, their support for Israel has been reduced as a result of the radical left-wing protests on the streets and college campuses around the nation, fueled by sanctimonious anger and misjudgments.
You will be reading these words after Netanyahu’s speech before a joint session of Congress on Wednesday. Harris, who would ordinarily preside over such an event, has announced that she will miss it since she is attending an event in Indianapolis. It was expected that instead of Vice President Harris, Senate President Pro Tempore Patty Murray (D-Wash.) would be next-in-line to preside, but Murray announced that she will be boycotting the Netanyahu presentation as well.
Let’s not kid ourselves any further: Harris’s absence is a boycott as well. It is unbecoming of the U.S. to boycott any international leader. Just because she may not agree with all their policies does not mean that this unseemly behavior is proper or called for. If Kamala Harris and her friends in the squad do not respect Netanyahu, what are we to believe concerning their feelings about the existence of Israel?
Netanyahu paid tribute to former hostages and hostage families who were present in the Congressional gallery. He also recognized several Israeli soldiers who have fought valiantly over the last nine months. Included in the group was IDF Lieutenant Yonatan Ben Hamo, who is a combat engineering officer who lost his leg in combat during the war in Gaza. Ben Hamo is presently rehabilitating at the Five Towns Premier Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Woodmere.
In Harris’s place, Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD), the retiring chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will preside over the session. Cardin is a Maryland senator and is Jewish. He is also not seeking re-election, so the business of being identified with Israel and Netanyahu poses no political risk to him.
New York Congressman Jerry Nadler, who said he harbors intense dislike of Prime Minister Netanyahu (which is pretty disgusting), still attended the Bibi speech out of his respect for the Jewish state. Thus Harris as vice president should have been present on Wednesday at the joint session of Congress. The reality was that Netanyahu received a rousing welcome and numerous standing ovations. Those few that absented themselves were not missed.
This jockeying around by Democrats highlights the extreme hypocrisy that pervades so much of that party today. Harris, who has a very skimpy resume to be president of the United States, finds herself in this unenviable position due to the expressed wishes and desires of George Soros and Barack Obama. This is bad news for the future of America, and we hope that after all the hoopla diminishes, we will come to our senses and realize how corrupt the Democratic Party has become.
In her first public remarks on Tuesday, all she could talk about was Donald Trump. Not a word was uttered about the high inflation or increase in crime that has been a part of the Biden-Harris tenure. Neither was there a word about her failure to police the border and the administration’s failed immigration policies that has resulted in an uptick in violent crimes and drug deaths all over the country.
In addition to Netanyahu addressing Congress, by the time you read this, Bibi will have met with Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris somewhere in the White House. He will also be meeting with Mr. Trump in Florida on Friday.
The fact of the matter is that when it comes to Israel, there is little difference between Biden and Harris, especially because the shots are being called by Obama, Blinken, Sullivan, and a few other White House insiders. Do they expect the average American, who is struggling to buy food and gas, to be excited when they read that George Clooney and Barbra Streisand—both billionaires—are backing Kamala Harris for president? Has there ever been a more meaningless political endorsement?
The two most pressing questions we face are: How long will they continue to deceive the American people? And how long will we continue to allow ourselves to be deceived?
B”H No caring American can long countenance the weekly drivel, spiced with poisonous toxicity that is managed from Larry Gordon’s superficial thought process. This time, he takes a page from House Republicans and shares in dumping graceless comments on our first Black woman President-in-waiting; even though those misogynists in my nominal Party have been warned by their leaders to avoid attacking the presumptive Presidential nominee on race and gender. Then, there’s the inane comment that Pamala (intentionally mispronounced by the unfit 45th President) Harris that her resume is too thin to commend respect. Does he have in mind a former prosecutor, Senator, and now Vice President in comparison to his candidate? Let’s see: a big time liar, sexual predator, 34x a convicted felon, a failed con artist, disloyal to spouses and nation, a threat to our democracy, a racist, and not only? And the Bibi factor: the wrong man at the inappropriate time to accept the mischief-provocateur Speaker Mike Johnson (an obsequious MAGA cultist and white Christian nationalist). His appearance chased several dozen Congress members away, as was clearly evident as the camera panned the room. Still, to my surprise, his speech centrally mentioned the need to free the hostages, and justly stressed the unbroken alliance between America and Israel —- currently engaged in the battle for civilization to prevail over barbarism! Premier Netanyahu didn’t spell out a framework for the day after a cease fire, which is taking an interminable time to complete, but implied itts nearness in not mentioning the need to eliminate every Hamas fighter; being willing to accept the nefarious terrorist group’s material defanging and inability to recoup a victory! As to the pro-Israel bona fides of our forthcoming woman President, she put everyone at ease with her meeting Bibi (as did President Biden),emphatically declaring her “unwavering” support for the Jewish State! Only the publisher-editor, consumed with inherent animus for fair, balanced, and unafraid journalism is willing to embrace Kelly Anne Conway’s notorious infamy embracing “alternate facts,” and thus perpetuating genuine fake news. Aren’t you ashamed, Larry, of perpetuating such an embarrassing record? With fraternal affection, Asher 🙏😢🇺🇸😩🇮🇱🤣🔯
