Amer Ghalib’s Deception Reveals Disdain for Administration Policies, Dooms Kuwait Ambassadorship Nomination
PHILADELPHIA – October 30, 2025 – Members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations are expected to reject Amer Ghalib’s nomination as ambassador to Kuwait following a contentious confirmation hearing in which the nominee refused to take responsibility for his history of bigoted and extreme statements. Facing questions from the committee on October 23, 2025, Ghalib failed to explain his praise for Saddam Hussein and support for antisemitic commentary—statements first revealed in an investigative report from the Middle East Forum (MEF)—demonstrating his unfitness for diplomatic service.
Ghalib, the mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, also refused to adequately explain his support for the Muslim Brotherhood and opposition to the Abraham Accords, revealing a fundamental misalignment with Trump administration policies and values.
At least three Republican committee members have made on-the-record statements insisting they would vote against confirming Ghalib, placing his nomination “on a path to failure,” according to the New York Times. The bipartisan opposition reflects senators’ recognition that Ghalib’s dishonesty and radical sympathies are incompatible with representing American interests in Kuwait, a critical Middle Eastern ally.
“This is beyond the pale,” Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) told Ghalib at last Thursday’s hearing, referring to his social media history. “I will not be supporting your nomination.”
“Ghalib’s attempts to deceive the Senate about his documented extremist statements demonstrate his fundamental opposition to the administration’s commitment to combating antisemitism and extremism,” said Baird. “A nominee who refuses to be truthful about his own record cannot be trusted to represent American interests abroad.”

Thank you!
The mystery surrounding the interstellar visitor in our solar system has deepened after scientists spotted it making an unexpected maneuver as it approached the sun.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has recorded the object, largely believed to be a comet, displaying ‘non-gravitational acceleration’ as it reached its closest point to the sun on October 29.

I think demoncrat really describes their party.
“Heiser’s research and writings open whole “new” vistas of Biblical history ignored by most modern churches and seminaries because they seem so “difficult” or not relevant to the New Testament. On the contrary - they are crucial to a deeper understanding of it and our own present spiritual world.”
