Muslim activists in the United States are raising a fuss and warning that President Joe Biden is going to lose Muslim support for being too sympathetic to Jews who were slaughtered by antisemitic terrorists, and apparently, no one thinks that this would reflect poorly on Muslims.
For three weeks now, the House of Republicans has not had a speaker, and the crazy eight Republicans who elected to blow up the party's only position of power by voting with the entire Democratic caucus have been unable to find a candidate as popular as Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted from the seat despite the support of 210 members of Congress. Since the California Republican's expulsion, the GOP has nominated three separate candidates, held three separate floor votes, and has failed all three times. Jim Jordan's most successful attempt at the top job netted just 200 votes on the floor, while Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries actually beat McCarthy's support twice. House Republicans moved on from the Ohio congressman to Tom Emmer, but after an internal whip count showing he didn't have the votes, the Minnesotan promptly dropped out of the circus.
Now that Republicans have a new nominee for speaker of the House, they should stop being so narrow-minded that they reject any form of help from Democrats to get their nominee actually elected on the House floor.
The Associated Press told its reporters not to call Hamas fighters "terrorists" after they massacred civilians, raped women, and took a couple hundred hostages...
It was clear during the last GOP presidential debate that Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) was running on fumes and trying to spur some kind of momentum as his campaign continued to slip. Now, he’s putting all his chips in Iowa as the wheels begin to fall off his campaign.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib is still insisting the Gaza hospital blast could somehow be Israel's fault while ignoring the people actually responsible for the deaths...
President Joe Biden announced last week that the United States would provide “$100 million of new US funding for humanitarian assistance in both Gaza and the West Bank.” As my colleague Danielle Pletka notes, the administration will channel money for Gaza from the U.S. Agency for International Development's emergency funds that will not be subject to congressional scrutiny. USAID, meanwhile, will not answer questions about how it will spend that money in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
While on the campaign trail, President Joe Biden provided a vision of hope, optimism, and improving the country’s conditions if he was elected. He campaigned on the slogan “Build Back Better” in 2020, but the 46th president hasn’t built anything back or better nearly three years into his term.
Four days after Hamas began its massacre of Israeli civilians, King Abdullah II of Jordan addressed his country’s parliament, telling lawmakers that Jordan’s “compass will always point to Palestine, with Jerusalem in its heart, and we will never falter in defending its interests and just cause.” His wife, Queen Rania, pointed a finger at Israel and claimed that “it isn’t self-defense if you are an occupying force.”
