ANTE UPPED ON SHAPIRO
POWERLINE Blog ^ | 8/3/24 | John Hinderaker

...there are indications that Josh Shapiro is shaping up as Kamala Harris’s VP choice. Notwithstanding the opposition from “progressive,” i.e. anti-Semitic, Democrats, which I noted here.

But now, in an 11th-hour development, the ante may have been upped.... now we have this:

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has had to defend his stance on Israel after an op-ed he penned more than three decades ago, in which he wrote of being an Israeli army volunteer and disparaged the Palestinian people, resurfaced. ...

“[Palestinians] are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own,” Shapiro wrote, identifying himself as a “past volunteer in the Israeli army.” He referred to the Arab world as divided and “belligerent.”...

Shapiro has been quick to disavow his comments of 30 years ago...

One thing you can say about Democrats–their views are always evolving.

Remind me about the superlative job he’s done as absentee Secy of Transpo?

When he first was appointed Transportation Secretary the press asked him if he was qualified. He replied...

"I know about transportation.  I've been rear-ended quite a few times."

No way it will be Ben Shapiro (H/T to the Bee).

Maybe it will be Clay Travis. He thinks Kamala is so pretty. I heard it ad nauseum.

My goodness. Someone wanted that woman dead, and it obviously wasn’t herself! Shapiro was DA or something when that happened?

I live in Minnesota.

Walt is a great campaigner - almost chameleon-like. He can put on a baseball cap and a flannel shirt and act like he’s one of us.

But he is thin-skinned. In the few times where someone in the media has pressed him, he does not take it well. In 2018, the GOP nominee for Governor really took him apart in the debates and truth be told, our nominee was not all that great. In 2022, he did everything possible to avoid the GOP nominee for Governor.

I view him as vulnerable because of his administration’s negligence in combatting fraud in Minnesota. Specifically, type the words Feeding Our Future into a search engine.

If he’s the VP nominee, JD Vance should be able to pick him apart.

Kamala must be feeling a bit frazzled with today’s news drops. The hits just kept on coming
Everyday till Election day will feel like a 48 hour day.

Yep, the woman’s fiancé is the suspect. Fiancé’s father is a Judge. Shapiro went to school with the Judge’s daughter , nice and comfy arrangement .

Was initially ruled a homicide, Shapiro fixed it for the Judge’s family.

Fwiw, the Penn Supreme Court is looking at the case now.

There is a local guy who is covering the case.

If she picks Shapiro, it means they think they’re in so much trouble in PA that they need to try to shore it up rather than make a serious play for another swing state.

Josh is/was not wrong.

He was quite right, but telling the truth (not “my truth”, but THE truth) is an automatic disqualifier in dem circles. Skill at lying and deceiving is highly prized, but truth telling is forbidden. Will be interesting to see what they do now.

Thanks for the info and the link. Gavin Fish’s reporting is quite credible, IMO. And he supports his conclusions with lots of verifiable evidence.

>> Shapiro fixed it for the Judge’s family. Fwiw, the Penn Supreme Court is looking at the case now.

I pray they move that investigation along at a faster pace then. Shapiro had his hands in some dirty sh!t, it appears.

Good point. Demonrats have lots of ways forward, it seems — all of them HIGHLY risky. Tough choices, each one prone to fail. Popping corn and watching...

They'll probably claim this though:  Ho-No-Mo & Ho-Mo - 2024.
