Hamas has given President Biden a chance for a “do over,” an opportunity to display leadership and courage in protecting our national security and world peace that has been absent from his past life. Whether he can rise to the occasion or not is unclear. But, if he fails, countless more lives will likely be sacrificed.
October 23 marks the 40th anniversary of the terrorist truck bombing in Beirut, Lebanon, that killed 241 American Marines, soldiers, and sailors. Given former Senator Biden’s prominent role in incentivizing that attack, which was typical of his long history of undermining American national security and endangering both our nation’s freedom and the lives of our military, this may be an appropriate occasion to review some of that dismal history.
Joe Biden became the youngest member of the United States Senate in January 1973. Later that year, I accepted a position as national security adviser to another member of the Foreign Relations Committee and, during the next five years, I averaged at least two hours most weeks in meetings that included Senator Biden. Like former Defense Secretary Robert Gates four decades later, I was appalled at how frequently he got issues wrong. He seemed truly clueless.
Among many other key defense programs Biden tried to defund were the B1 and B2 strategic bombers, the MX missiles, Trident nuclear submarines, Abrams M1 tanks, various cruise missiles, and the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS). When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990, Biden declared the United States “must act forcefully.”
But when it came time to take part in the UN Security Council-authorized multinational force to eject Iraqi forces from Kuwait (where they were torturing children by using power drills on their elbows and knees so their screams would compel their parents...

This article shows Joe Biden to be far worse than I even thought.
Ohhh no no no no. Biden is bad, but the flood tide of corruption was hardly all or even mostly Biden’s fault. He is just the fall guy for the utter failure of the Republican “leadership” to do anything in the self-interest of their deplorable conservative cult voters.
Biden’s Ntl Security Failures And Military Endangerment——Hamas’ attack on Israel has given Biden an opportunity to display leadership and courage that has been absent from his past life.
If you didnt know better, you’d think Biden was a trained subversive says. Guy is programmed......trained to robotically side w/ foreign countries.........or else.
A demented Biden’s reelection chance were nil, according to the laws of diminishing returns...........
until the attack on Israel fell in his lap. Now he’s suddenly morphed into a “strong, decisive “leader.”
Outrageously, our own (cough) “president” is hectoring Congress.....not to finance America’s needs.....Biden wants another $106 billion for Israel and Ukraine.
Biden’s spending billions we do not have, then saddles taxpayers with the onerous borrowing costs.
Taxpayers’ children and grandchildren are compelled to pay the outrageous bills.
<><>Why does the US have to go into debt for these pampered foreigners?
<><>Why cant they stand on their own two feet?
<><>Why cant wealthy Israel and money-grubbing Ukraine do the borrowing for their own needs?
‘He is just the fall guy for the utter failure of the Republican “leadership”’
Not just Republicans but also due to the Deep State, including government organizations and the Lame Street Media, and most of CongreSS.
Plenty of scoundrels to blame. I am just holding our scoundrels’ feet to the fire. They have had multiple opportunities over the years to use the appropriations process to bring a halt to gubmint corruption. They chose to swim in the sewer along with everyone else.
Johnny-Come-Lately Kissinger didn’t care about it before. But he suddenly got religion.
Globalist Henry Kissinger was AWOL when 3rd World hordes were destroying Christianity and smearing White cultures.....but it seems when Israel got blowback, he suddenly came alive, and indulges in recriminations.
“It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different cultures, religions and concepts” - globalist Henry Kissinger belatedly opines.
The rest of us knew that from the getgo, Mr K.
breitbart.com 10/16/23-——French President Emmanuel Macron called for all radical Islamist migrants residing in France to be removed from the country in the wake of the suspected Islam-inspired assassination of a middle school teacher on Friday.
President Macron has tasked Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin to carry out a “ruthless” examination of the files of those who “carry hatred and terrorist ideologies” over the next 48 hours in order to remove foreign-born Islamists from France, Le Figaro reports.
It comes after Dominique Bernard, a middle school teacher in the city of Arras, was allegedly stabbed to death by a suspected Islamist named Mohamed Mogouchkov. The Russian-born suspect was reportedly on the country’s extremist watch list — referred to as having an “S file” — prior to the attack and had also reportedly been subject to a deportation order in 2014 that was successfully quashed by appeals from pro-migrant groups.
Darmanin has said out of the over 20,000 S files — not all of which remain active — there are at least 489 extremist foreigners who are considered to be a danger to the country residing in France. A further 300 radical foreigners are currently in prison or under house arrest. The minister said that the government will seek to “systematically deport” them following the end of their prison sentence.

The fact is, every day, hundreds and even thousands of basically unguided Gaza Islamist rockets continue to rain down on civilian targets in Israel. Additionally, Iranian sophisticated weapons and missiles are targeting Israel on the north side from Syria and Lebanon.
If unprovoked attack on a neighbor country causes a humanitarian crisis in your own country, well, do not attack in the first place!
The Iranian spies in the Obama Biden Administration are working hard on political angles with the US to enable their Israeli target to be powerless to retaliate. They want to erase the Jewish state. Iran has been holding hostages in one way or another ever since 1977. Frankly, it is time to just eradicate Hamas and Islamic Jihad and Hezbullah. And to cause regime change in Iran. Enough. Yes, this is another Crusade. We either win this new battle of Lepanto, or the entire civilized non-muslim world loses.
My wife can’t understand why I became a prepper 5 years ago. I believe she sees the light.
This is the first I heard of the “1929 Kellogg-Briand Treaty”. So a treaty that makes war illegal, is broken by all those who signed it, except Russia. Russia never was a participant.
What kind of stupid politicians would take the power to make war away from itself and give it to others? It passed with only 1 vote against. I am assuming that was a Senate peopled with those who were placed there by direct vote, not State legislatures.
