In 2014, former Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Robert Gates, said that Joe Biden had made the “wrong” call on “nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue” for the more than 40 years (at that point) he’d been in politics; Obama once famously warned, “don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up.”
Joe Biden isn’t qualified to be dog-catcher, yet here he is commanding our military, getting our troops threatened and killed as he bungles the job.
We’ve got all the death and destruction from the unplanned and idiotic rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan.
We lost three servicemembers in the Tower 22 drone attack, an assault launched by Iranian-backed terrorists who only have the finances because the Democrats continuously promote and enact policies that enrich Iran.
We now have “stranded” troops amid Niger’s military coup, a situation which the Biden regime seems to be quietly covering up in an effort to hide his negligence and incompetence.
And, remember the nighttime boarding of a vessel carrying Iranian weapons on their way to fund more terrorism, an operation in which we lost elite servicemembers? Well, this is all because Iran now has the cash to sponsor more violence—thank you Joe for waging a war on domestic oil, thereby paving the way for Iran to dominate the market once again, and removing the economic sanctions implemented by President Trump.
I’m sure I missed a few examples, but here’s another item to add to the list, from Bassam Tawil, a Muslim Arab at the Gatestone Institute:
Palestinians Threaten to Attack US Troops
More than $300 million has been spent by the Biden administration to construct a floating pier on the coast of the Gaza Strip to aid the local Palestinian population...

Let’em starve. Barbarians all.
Yeah I’ve heard that and while I don’t think it’s really the objective it is possible. More recently we’ve heard politicians talk about giving Visas to Gazans. So it may not be so much Israel forcing them out but some other reasons. It doesn’t make a lot of sense either way that for 75 years they’ve been “fighting for their land” and now they want to leave? But there is some political repression from Hamas and other forms of persecution so some limited amnesty is possible. And maybe Europe will absorb some who want to leave voluntarily. 10,000 to each country and you get what 270,0000 Gazans to move out? More than 10% of the population. And that may be the main issue. Gaza is reportedly very crowded. I am not sure if 2 million people really live there full time but that’s what they say. It could sustain 2 million people if it was run correctly, Manhattan is much much smaller and sustains millions more people. Or Singapore. But now, it has to be rebuilt first. So maybe there is no good option here. It will take many years to rebuild, maybe a decade. Will Gazans live in tents or 18 to an apartment for a decade? And who is going to pay to rebuild it to sustain the population and the growth especially if Gaza cannot assure the donors and financiers that they are done with war and violent zealtory.
You know, it goes all the way back to Plato that the burned hand is the best teacher that fire is hot.
I’m reminded of some old song lyrics:
“...Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman”, sighed the snake...”
Plato was a great philosopher, it would’ve been interesting to see what he thought of Joe Biden. Biden habitually puts his hand in the fire and WE get burned.
What a surprise.
Well, if they don’t like the source, they can go without. We should pack up and ship out and find somewhere that would really appreciate it, like rural Appalachia...
What ingrates........
That's even worse than giving MasterCards to illegals.
It is my belief that after Hamas, there will be other governments besides Israel and the USA heavily involved in the economic and political reconstruction of Gaza. Those efforts will be led by a consortium made up of the Abraham accord signers. Those are Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
The pier is necessary as a first step in the logistics effort. It might be a few weeks premature but is an indication that if not now dead, Hamas soon will be. This solution was determined long ago and is secret until revealed in details that will be leaked as necessary.
The Palestine that was will not be again and the consortium noted above and Israel are going to tightly control everything that happens in the future.
Iran and all the Iranian pollution will be destroyed in the new order.
Yes, I know you don’t believe it but it is what is going to happen
Right! Let’s bring them to America so they can inflict some real damage! Seriously, isn’t that what it’s all about?
They are not Palestinians, but rather Iranian mercenaries desperately attempting to end the coming Iranian death in Palestine
In other words, Hamass is mad that there could be food coming into the country from a source not them. And this is a threat to them.
Do not be fooled, once the off loading of humanatarian aid is completed, those vessels will be embarking refugees.
If this does not occur I will very surprised. I am not often surprised.

At least the MasterCard stops working when you abuse it.
Free fire zone. Soldiers are on a floating dock — could claim not even on MEast soil.
If someone throws a rock fire into the crown he is hiding behind until everyone is on the ground, casualty or not. You do not give mercy to rabid dogs. Well, a mercy shot is OK.
The pier was actually just $1m the rest was kickbacks to cronies.
No
So who’s in charge? Can’t be. He’s on first. No. Seriously? I don’t know. Third base! WEF? Soros? Sinister unknown?
Tells us everything we need to know
Let em starve
