Macron, Biden Demand 21-Day Ceasefire in Lebanon; Fail to Mention Hezbollah
President Joe Biden joined French President Emmanuel Macron and several other nations Wednesday evening in proposing a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah — just as Israel had begun to destroy the terrorist organization.
The text of the ceasefire demand fails to mention Hezbollah, calling only on the government of Lebanon and Israel to comply. It also does not mention Iran, which is the country that arms, funds, and trains Hezbollah’s terrorists.
Hezbollah broke an existing ceasefire in October, when it began shooting at Israel last October. The ceasefire, under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 of 2006, required Hezbollah to disarm and leave the border.
The United Nations failed to enforce the ceasefire, allowing Hezbollah to build up forces in southern Lebanon. Israel evacuated over 60,000 citizens from their homes in October, but focused its military efforts on Hamas in Gaza.
Why is it so tough for Biden-Harris and Macron to mention Hezbollah? Are they worried about losing the votes of terrorist supporters?
Here’s the text of the statement
The situation between Lebanon and Israel since October 8th, 2023 is intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation. This is in nobody’s interest, neither of the people of Israel nor of the people of Lebanon.
It is time to conclude a diplomatic settlement that enables civilians on both sides of the border to return to their homes in safety.
It’s almost like it’s Israel and Lebanon who are fighting, when Lebanon wants nothing to do with Hezbollah
Diplomacy however cannot succeed amid an escalation of this conflict.
Thus we call for an immediate 21 day ceasefire across the Lebanon-Israel border to provide space for diplomacy towards the conclusion of a diplomatic settlement consistent with UNSCR 1701, and the implementation of UNSCR 2735 regarding a ceasefire in Gaza
I guess the mention of 1701 can sorta be a reference to Hezbollah, and a serious roundabout way
We call on all parties, including the Governments of Israel and Lebanon, to endorse the temporary ceasefire immediately consistent with UNSCR 1701 during this period, and to give a real chance to a diplomatic settlement.
We are then prepared to fully support all diplomatic efforts to conclude an agreement between Lebanon and Israel within this period, building on efforts over the last months, that ends this crisis altogether.
Lebanon is not fighting. Who are the other parties? Why not mention Hezbollah directly? Are Biden-Harris and Macron worried by rioting from the terrorism supporters imported into their countries? As far as Israel goes, Netanyahu says there is no ceasefire, as he and Israel have not even responded to it yet. However
(Jerusalem Post) Israeli politicians and residents of northern Israel condemned the US-French ceasefire proposal between Israel and Hezbollah, scheduled to begin on Thursday around midday, Israeli media reported Thursday morning.
In an interview, Metula Regional Council chairman David Azulai emphasized that such a ceasefire would ensure “the next October 7,” for which the government would be responsible, he further stressed. In addition to Azulai, the Upper Galilee Regional Council’s chairman, Amir Sofer, said that while “there is a time for negotiations, this is not the time.”
Azulai explained that recent days have highlighted Hezbollah’s capabilities and that “this government of [Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu” must “remove the threat” to avoid another “October 7 next year.” Azulai emphasized that such a situation “must not happen” and that the government “has all the support it needs” to fight Hezbollah and provide a more safe environment for northern Israel’s residents.
All a ceasefire does is give Iran the time to rearm Hezbollah.

We keep reading stuff like this, but, then, the youts fail to show up at the ballot box because they aren’t allowed to take selfies there and it also requires them to put the phone down to go there
Gen Z, worried about climate change, unified in holding politicians responsible: Poll
Over one-third of Gen Z are worried they’ll need to move away from their hometowns due to climate change — and a majority of those in the generation across the political spectrum said politicians need to be held accountable, according to a new poll out Wednesday from Gallup and the Walton Family Foundation. (snip)
“[Gen Z] have been seeing water, and water and climate their whole lives,” Moira Mcdonald, program director for the Environment Program at the Walton Family Foundation, told ABC News. “Their lives have essentially been punctuated by these big moments — the Gulf oil spill back in 2010, the Flint, Michigan, drinking water crisis with lead in the water. They had everyday exposure to the rising seas and warming ocean issue the last few years.”
The poll found that among those in Gen Z who worry they’ll need to move due to climate change, 73% believe it will be because of a water issue such as water pollution, flooding risk, lack of access to clean drinking water and the risk of drought.
The poll also found that 31% of Gen Z are concerned their generation won’t have enough clean water in the future, 72% are concerned about pollution in their waterways and 66% are worried about the health of the fish and oceans.
Among voting age Gen Zers, the poll found that 88% believed politicians are responsible for addressing water issues related to climate change.
Here’s problem 1: they’ve fallen into the climate cult trap of linking environmental issues regarding water with the climate scam.
Problem two is thinking it is all on politicians, rather than on themselves to be good environmental stewards, especially as they travel all around to take their selfies and videos. Are they avoiding going to the beach and exotic places to do their narcissistic social media stuff? Nope.
Problem number 3
The photo is from the article. Look at all the signs, clothes, backpacks, smartwatches, glasses, makeup, hairspray, and other objects that were made with and/or shipped by fossil fuels. They want fossil fuels ended: how do they get all those products? How do they travel for their selfies and protests? Of course the sign says Young Democratic Socialists of America, and they hate profit. How do they think they will make money? Stupid people.

First off, isn’t this the kind of yammering that leads to people trying to assassinated The Donald?
EXCLUSIVE: Postal Union Sends Letter Calling Trump ‘Existential Threat’
If former President Donald Trump wins November’s election, he would pose an “existential threat” — at least according to a letter apparently from the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), obtained by The Federalist.
“If Donald Trump wins the upcoming election, it could prove an existential threat to our union and our contract,” the letter reads. “Your vote matters: consider how the consequences could affect you, your job, and our union when deciding how to vote.”
The letter appears to be signed “in solidarity” by Georgia NALC President Don Griggs. It takes issue specifically with Trump and Project 2025, leftists’ favorite catch-all bogeyman.
“Donald Trump and his allies have put together an extensive plan for the next year, if he takes office and appoints anti-union allies throughout the executive branch,” the letter reads. “Our union cannot afford to risk the proposals in Project 2025 becoming a reality.”
The letter claims Project 2025 would “ban all public employee unions and replace private-sector unions with company-controlled unions,” “let states opt out of federal overtime and minimum wage” requirements, and repeal the Davis-Bacon Act, which places wage requirements on government projects.
Second off, does it make you feel good that the people who will be delivering mail-in ballots to citizens and then back to those who count them are taking a stand against someone running for president? Do you trust them?
Third, public sector unions do need to be abolished. The main purposes of unions originally were to bargain for wages and benefits and better working conditions, and to protect workers from poor working conditions and problem bosses. Why is any of this necessary for government jobs? They aren’t working in factories, and few work with dangerous materials.
Griggs told The Federalist the letter came not from him, but from the AFL-CIO — without his permission. “They told me they were going to send me some information as we got closer to the election, and I had no idea they were sending out a letter with my name,” Griggs said. “I never would have sent anything out like that.”
BS. He’s trying to cover his ass. The letter, which you can see at the link, has his signature.

This is an Important Issue for CBS News
Most Coloradans believe in climate change. So, why do some vote for climate change deniers?
With less than two months before the November election, a CBS News poll shows Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are tied in the battleground states.
While climate change is not the top issue for most voters, research out of the University of Colorado Boulder finds it could be a significant factor in the race. CU’s Center for Environmental Futures found a quarter of Republicans, who think climate change is very important, voted for President Biden in 2020, likely swinging the election.
But, in some parts of Colorado, voters’ views on the issue aren’t black and white. (snip)
Much of the Eastern Plains is in Congressional District 4 where — according to statistical modeling by Yale University — 63% of residents are worried about global warming and nearly 59% want Congress and the president to do more to address it. Yet, former President Donald Trump — who has called climate change a “hoax” — won CD4 by 23 points in 2016 and 15 points in 2020, and the district hasn’t voted a Democrat into Congress for 16 years. It’s one of the reasons Rep. Lauren Boebert switched to the district.
Yale’s research shows that — for a majority of people in CD4 — a candidate’s views on global warming are important to their vote. Three-fourths would support regulating carbon dioxide and two-thirds believe clean energy should be a priority for Congress, efforts Boebert opposes.
But while she is a climate denier, Arnusch, a climate believer, says he will likely vote for her.
“Climate is certainly important but it’s not my top priority. When I have that ballot sitting on my table and I’m trying to decide which way to vote — whether it’s a candidate or a ballot measure, which we vote on often in this state — I think about how this is going to affect my farm, how this is going to affect my family.
And there it is: even for most Warmists Doing Something about the climate crisis scam is important in theory, not in practice. Real world issues, like the economy, making sure energy, including fossil fuels, are abundant, inexpensive, and available, and seeing their communities overrun with migrants, including Venezuelan gang members, is way more important in Reality Land. Warmists, again, rarely make changes in their own lives, and aren’t too enthused to vote for candidates who will impose more taxes/fees, jack up their cost of living, and restrict their freedom.
And this drives the Elites, and those who think they are Elites, nuts. 30+ years of spreading awareness, of indoctrination, and they just cannot force those stupid peasants to cooperate.

In the People’s Republik of California and other Democrat states they’ve banned books like “To Kill A Mockingbird”, “Of Mice and Men”, and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” as being raaacist. Classic books. Books of consequence. But, those are not the ones banned the most
(Esquire) PEN America, which gathers a broader dataset from school districts, school board hearings, and local media outlets, reports that over 10,000 books were removed from public schools (at least temporarily) during the 2023 – 2024 academic year—almost three times as many removals as during the previous school year. About 8,000 of those bans took place in Florida and Iowa alone, where Republican lawmakers have taken shocking measures against school libraries: in Iowa, a new law forbids any material depicting sexual acts from K-12 schools (excluding religious texts), while in Florida, another new law stipulates that any book challenged for “sexual conduct” must be removed from library shelves while administrators review the material.
It’s shocking to remove sexual material from the shelves in schools? Why do Democrats want children, minors, exposed to hardcore sexual material? I cannot remember any book from the school library or as assigned reading having sexual content. I certainly checked out and bought horror books that had some, but, it wasn’t being shoved down my throat by the school. Why can’t liberals just let kids be kids?
In a consequential election year, your right to read is on the ballot. To show you exactly what’s at stake, we’ve compiled a list of the ten most-challenged books of 2023, along with the supposed rationale behind the controversies they’ve sparked. Share these books with the young people in your life, or enjoy them on your own—each one is a moving paean to self-knowledge, inclusivity, and the strength we find in embracing difference, both in ourselves and others. So go ahead and get reading. It’ll make Ted Cruz’s day.
What’s at stake, eh? Here are the top 10
Every single one of these is sexually explicit, and all are child pornography. In each case Esquire tries to make a case for them, and it makes it worse, such as
In an interview with Publishers Weekly, Moen said, “Teens are on the internet and they’re coming into contact with all of this and way more. Our philosophy is you can either give them a book that’s been reviewed and approved by multiple professionals in the sex education and health fields, or you can give them a phone and let them figure it out for themselves on PornHub.”
It may be the case that teens are on the Internet, but, should schools, government run institutions of learning, be teaching this stuff to children? Should the teachers be reading this stuff to young children, especially pre-teens, or assigning it as reading? That’s not teaching, that’s grooming. Why is all this necessary? This filth never used to be in schools, which had standards and propriety.
Seriously, “Let’s Talk About It is an illustrated guide to sex designed for teens, featuring comprehensive information about essential topics like orgasms, masturbation, and birth control, but it’s also so much more.” Should this be material pre-teens have? Is this material that should be taught in schools? If the parents want to buy it for their kids, that’s on them. This is not stuff schools should be pushing.

Head of United Nations warns of ‘unsustainable world’ during annual meeting of leaders
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warned world leaders Tuesday that impunity, inequality and uncertainty are creating an “unsustainable world” where a growing number of countries believe they should have a “get out of jail free” card.
“We can’t go on like this,” he said as the General Assembly’s annual debate among presidents, prime ministers, monarchs and other leaders began.
Citing deepening geopolitical divisions, wars with no end in sight, climate change and nuclear and emerging weapons, he said humanity is “edging towards the unimaginable – a powder keg that risks engulfing the world.”
But, he said, “the challenges we face are solvable” if the international community confronts the uncertainty of unmanaged risks, the inequality that underlies injustices and grievances and the impunity that undermines international law and the U.N.’s founding principles.
See, if all the leaders of the nations would just institute taxes and fees and life controls on their citizens, we can totally stop this! It’s so easy! There’s nothing that a little Authoritarianism won’t solve, you know! Say the people who make zero changes in their own lives and have carbon footprints far outstripping even those citizens of the 1st World. It’s just so weird that these leaders all have the same idea in imposing Modern Socialism.

But, is it enough to get people to vote for Trump in the states he needs to win for 270?
Gallup: Almost Every Indicator Favors GOP, Making Election Trump’s to Lose
A new Gallup poll shows Republicans leading on nine out of 10 key issues the pollster uses to determine which side has an advantage ahead of the election. Gallup said the GOP trails only on the approval of Congress, and voters don’t like either party on that.
“The political environment suggests the election is Trump’s and Republicans’ to lose,” Gallup said. “Nearly every indicator of the election context is favorable to the Republican Party, and those that aren’t are essentially tied rather than showing a Democratic advantage.”
Party identification has traditionally been a strong indicator in predicting election outcomes, Gallup said, and this year, 48% say they are, or lean, Republican, versus 45% who are, or lean, Democrat — a GOP advantage not seen in decades.
The second highly predictive measure is which party voters believe will better handle big problems. In this, too, Republicans outgun Democrats, by 46%-41%, mostly on the view they are better suited to handle the economy. The poll finds that respondents view the GOP as the party that will make American prosperous by a 50%-44% margin.
Those are, per Gallup, those are the two biggest drivers for elections.
I’m not clear on why all the articles are saying 9 of 10, looks like 8 of 10 to me. Regardless, the question now is, can they keep this? Can Trump keep the crazy down? Because Trump needs to win for the GOP to keep the House and Senate. I really do not think a Harris win will allow either of those to happen.
Why does the Cult of Climastrology always have to mind Everyone Else’s business?
Restaurant Portions Are About to Get Smaller. Are Americans Ready?
Portion sizes in American restaurants shot up in the 1980s and never came down. The average serving of spaghetti and meatballs doubled. Bagels ballooned into six-inch-wide monstrosities. Burritos started to weigh more than a Harry Potter hardcover.
Nutritionists and policymakers haven’t had much success fighting portion creep, which has been linked to health problems associated with obesity. Attempts to legislate soda sizes were shot down. Calorie counts on menus have largely gone ignored and might even be harmful. Even celebrity-dusted public health campaigns from the White House didn’t move the needle much.
But today, a combo plate of economics, demographics and climate science may accomplish what years of official hand-wringing could not: loosening the grip that super-size restaurant portions have on the national diet.
For the most part, the article has nothing to do with Hotcoldwetdry, but, it’s incumbent on all NY Times writers to include something on the climate scam in most articles. But, most Warmists are Leftists, and most Leftists are happy to force Other People to do stuff, instead of just leaving them alone to live their lives.
