Dementia Joe Told Israel They’re On Their Own If They Responded To Iranian Attack

By William Teach July 5, 2024 – 6:45 am

I’m sure other U.S. allies are looking at this and wondering if they can depend on Biden if they’re attacked. Well, unless it’s Ukraine, then Biden seems to have a vested interest

Biden told Netanyahu the night of Iran attacks: ‘You retaliate, and you’re on your own’

Joe Biden Ice Cream AfghanistanUS President Joe Biden threatened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to scale back his response toward Iran’s massive missile and drone attacks in April, according to a New York Times report Tuesday.

“Let me be crystal clear,” President Biden told Prime Minister Netanyahu that night from the Situation Room, where he received updates in real-time on the US-coordinated international response that successfully shot down 99% of the estimated 300 weapons launched from Iranian territory toward Israel.

“If you launch a big attack on Iran, you’re on your own.”

Iran’s attack was a response to the assassination of several Iranian generals, including the top commander in Syria, by an airstrike in Damascus a few weeks prior, an action attributed mainly to Israel. According to the IDF, only “a small number” of Iran’s ballistic missiles reached Israel. After the attack was over and most of the missiles had been successfully neutralized, Biden reportedly told Netanyahu by phone: “You got a win. Take the win,” without, according to the report, “reading from a script or extensive notes.”

Netanyahu initially refused to heed Biden’s advice, arguing that a response was necessary to deter future attacks from Iran, but Biden only doubled down. “You do this,” Biden said, “and I’m out.” Eventually, the aides in the Situation Room said Netanyahu agreed to scale back Israel’s response.

The world’s largest state sponsor of terrorist and the leader of the destroy Israel crowd attacked Israel, and Biden wanted Israel to back down? Biden had barely anything to say to Iran on the situation. I’m guessing that simply saying “don’t” has no threat behind it. Perhaps Biden should be threatening Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, rather than Israel.

(Axios) President Biden in a call on Thursday told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “it is time to close” a hostage and ceasefire deal in Gaza.

Why it matters: Biden has pushed for a deal for months. White House officials said they want to take advantage of Hamas’ positive response to the latest proposal in order to close the remaining gaps and reach an agreement.

Of course he wants Israel to stand down, because his unhinged, Jew hating and Hamas loving base is necessary for him to succeed in the election. These are the people Biden is playing to.

Lawfare: Biden’s DOJ To Go After Trump Even After Election

By William Teach July 4, 2024 – 10:30 am

Nothing says this is all about using the weight of the federal government to go after political opponents as finding whatever means to prosecute for any reason? The Washington Post finds no blame in this. Can you imagine if Trump had done this? What would the article look like? What about when people like Putin do the same thing as Biden, though, Putin often has them killed

Washington Post: Justice Department to pursue Trump prosecutions past the election, even if he wins

Justice Department officials will continue to pursue the federal criminal cases against Donald Trump past Election Day, even if he wins, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

The plan is due to a view that DOJ rules against charging or prosecuting a sitting president would not kick in until Inauguration Day in January, people familiar with the discussions told The Post.

The Washington Post’s reporting comes a day after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump may claim immunity from criminal prosecution for some of the actions he took at the end of his presidency.

The court’s decision is likely to further delay a trial on the federal election subversion charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith, leaving Trump poised to avoid pre-election trials in the most significant criminal prosecutions he faces after being found guilty in his hush money trial in May. (His sentencing in that trial has been postponed until September in the wake of the court’s ruling.)

Officials who were not part of the special counsel’s deliberations told CNN they believed the long-standing DOJ policy against criminally charging a sitting president does not extend to a president-elect.

Since the Washington Post really doesn’t seem to have a problem with abusing the legal justice system to go after Trump, will they stay quiet if the DOJ under Trump goes after Biden and the people around him? If Republican state prosecutors go hard after Biden and the people around him?

Of course, Garland will only have to January 20th to continue, since Trump will boot him out hard the minute he takes the oath of office. People like Jack Smith can be fired or, better, re-assigned to a low level office. If Trump is smart, he’d be mentioning out on the campaign trail that he plans to re-introduce the notion of a neutral DOJ/FBI that has no politics, is not driven by the people in office, that serves all. That all agendas other than The Law will be driven from the Executive Branch. That it’s meant to serve the People, not run their lives and go after them for Wrongthink. He has a big and easy opportunity. But, knowing Trump, he won’t.

Mayor Pete Visited NC To Break Ground On $4.8 Million “Multi-Use Trail”

By William Teach July 4, 2024 – 7:15 am

It’s doubtful Pete took the train down from D.C., and you can bet Governor Cooper drove a large, low MPG suv to the event

U.S. Transportation Secretary joins Gov. Cooper to break ground on new Winston-Salem trail

Pete Buttigieg, secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, was among those on hand Tuesday to break ground on a new multi-use trail in Winston-Salem.

The shovels were out to turn the first dirt on the Salem Parkway path, a 1.3-mile bike-and-pedestrian urban trail linking Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist to Truist Field and surrounding neighborhoods.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper was among the dignitaries on hand. He says the Triad is in the middle of an economic boom and investments in transit projects are critical to sustain the growth.

“We know that in order to make sure we handle all the businesses that want to come here, all the people that want to come here, that we make sure that we make it easier, safer and cleaner to get from one place to the next.”

The trail is partially funded by President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Earlier in the day, Buttigieg visited construction sites on Winston-Salem’s Northern Beltway Project.

While the Beltway project is a road for fossil fueled vehicles, this urban trail is exactly that: for pedestrians and people on bikes. To the tune of $4.8 million for a whopping 1.3 miles between a few buildings, a hospital, Truist Stadium and downtown. The Elites really do want you to walk/bike everywhere, not travel in fossil fueled vehicles. To be clear, I’m not against walking areas, especially in urbanized areas, this just seems rather excessive in cost. And they do have ulterior motives while they take lots of fossil fueled trips.

There are no answers to those questions. Amtrak already goes from Raleigh to Richmond. This choo choo is supposed to go a lot faster in speed, but, it will still be quicker to drive.  As I’ve said, it would be a whole lot better if there was a train going down to the beach area near Wilmington and out to Asheville. I’d take it. Driving back after a day at the beach, even taking a quick beach shower to get the salt, sand, and sweat off, stinks. I’d be happy to take the train back.

Dementia Joe’s Totally Not Leaving The Race

By William Teach July 4, 2024 – 7:00 am

Even as more and more Credentialed Media outlets, Democrats, and their big money supporters call for Brandon to leave the race (which is apparently election interference now), he says he’s in it to lose it

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris Vow to Fight On in Presidential Race Despite Debate Disaster

Biden Brain SuckerPresident Joe Biden is vowing to fight on in the presidential race following his disastrous debate performance, which sent Democrats into a spiral of panic, questioning his ability to forge on.

According to reports from the Associated Press, both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris attempted to calm nerves across their party by appearing on a call with campaign staff Wednesday, where they made it clear that they are in this fight for the long haul.

The outlet, citing three sources, described the phone call as a “pep talk” of sorts, where they were “stressing the stakes of the election and returning to Biden’s previous post-debates comments that when he gets knocked down he gets back up and still plans to win the election.”

One individual on the call claimed Biden made his intentions abundantly clear, stating, “Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running…no one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win.”

Here’s the thing: do we really want Biden to drop out? Everything is based around beating him, his policies, and his brain fog.

That’s now, and that’s national. What happens in each state, and getting Trump to 270, is what matters. Trump and Republicans need to start focusing their attention on policy. On how bad Biden’s policies have been, on how much more people are paying for food and everything else, on how unstable the world has become. It’s wise politics. If Biden wants to go after Trump personally, Trump should stick to policy. Be the bigger guy. Sure, it won’t happen, but, consider what happens if the Dems do replace Joe

(NY Times) President Biden has told a key ally that he knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week.

The president, who the ally emphasized is still deeply in the fight for re-election, understands that his next few appearances heading into the holiday weekend — including an interview scheduled for Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — must go well.

“He knows if he has two more events like that, we’re in a different place” by the end of the weekend, said the ally, referring to Mr. Biden’s halting and unfocused performance in the debate. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation.

Brandon’s advisors, who are the ones really running the Presidency, have said it’s false. But, if Dems dump him, then what? Could Kamala really do better than Joe? What if they bring in whomever? It’s time to discuss how bad the Democrats have been for America and the world.

Good News: Dementia Joe Finally Has A Plan For Food Inflation

By William Teach July 3, 2024 – 3:00 pm

Biden and his people have spent several years telling us that inflation is not big deal, so, what is this? Is he going to remove biofuel mandates? Stop dumping money into Ukraine which inflates the cost of fertilizer? Do anything of substance?

There is no price gouging. Calling on companies to lose money always works. Printing money for more SNAP benefits which raises prices. He (well, really, his advisors who are running the country) has no clue it is government policies on top of COVID which caused this to happen. The answer is not “More Government!”

For Some Reason, US Taxpayers Will Pay To Deport Migrants From Panama

By William Teach July 3, 2024 – 10:30 am

Biden will barely allow most illegals/migrants to be deported from the United States

U.S. will fund deportations from Panama, expanding migrant crackdown

The Biden administration will begin paying for Panama to detain and deport more of the migrants streaming through Central America en route to the United States, the latest White House effort to curb illegal crossings at the southern border, officials said Tuesday.

The $6 million pilot program is the administration’s first attempt to fund deportations in a foreign country. More than 500,000 migrants entered Panama illegally last year, and officials there have appealed to the United States for help, saying Panama lacks the resources to contend with the influx.

In recent years, the Darien Gap region along the Colombia-Panama border has become a human superhighway, as U.S.-bound migrants from around the world follow a treacherous path through the jungle.

“We’re trying to send a clear message to anyone who is looking for protection or economic opportunity: choose legal, orderly, safe paths instead of putting your lives at risk,” Marcela Escobari, a Biden immigration adviser, told reporters during a briefing on the deportation flights.

Where will they be deported to, though? Back to their home countries? Or, will those flights find their way to the U.S.? Neither this article nor a few others I’ve read have said, though, there are some indications that all those Venezuelans will be sent back to Venezuela, since the nation is not stopping flights from Panama like from the U.S.

Biden officials are eager to keep border crossings out of the news and avoid giving presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump more ammunition to attack the president’s record before the November election.

So, this is pretty much political. Spending your money to make Biden look better. However, even though border arrests are down to 84,000 a month, that’s still way above where they were when Trump was in office.

Immigrant advocacy groups have increasingly condemned Biden’s more restrictive approach at the southern border, as well as the boost in deportations. They say the president’s crackdown has dramatically increased the risk that vulnerable migrants could be deported to nations where they will face persecution or harm.

Biden officials say they have done more than any recent U.S. administration to expand opportunities for migrants to reach the United States legally, including new programs to screen and admit roughly 75,000 migrants per month.

And that’s the reality: Biden wants mass migration to the U.S. Why? He and the Dems want to give them all amnesty, which means they can vote. Who do you think they’ll vote for?

Guy Who Takes Lots Of Fossil Fueled Trips Calls Manmade Climate Change Denial “Dumb”

By William Teach July 3, 2024 – 7:00 am

This same guy took two trips in a large, fossil fueled, low MPG limo, surrounded by lots of fossil fueled vehicles for protection Tuesday. On Monday he took many fossil fueled trips. On Saturday many fossil fueled flights in a jumbo jet, trailed by a backup jumbo jet and fighter jets, and the same on Friday. Who knows what he’ll do today

Biden Calls Climate Denial ‘Dumb,’ Announces New Heat Protections for Workers

President Biden on Tuesday called denying the effects of climate change “really, really dumb” and said that extreme heat and other weather disasters fueled by rising global temperatures have cost billions of dollars and thousands of American lives.

“Ignoring climate change is deadly and dangerous and irresponsible,” Mr. Biden said. He warned that temperatures have already shattered records this summer, and are expected to climb, as he proposed new protections for workers exposed to dangerous heat on the job.

Mr. Biden spoke at the District of Columbia’s emergency operations center, where he and cabinet officials were briefed on extreme weather developments across the country. His remarks were some of the most forceful he’s given on climate change, and he used the moment to denounce Republican lawmakers who oppose his policies.

“How can you deny climate change for God’s sake? Mr. Biden said. “They must be living in a hole somewhere.”

“Anyone who willfully denies the impacts of climate change is condemning the American people to a dangerous future and either is really, really dumb or has some other motive,” he said.

Almost no one is denying that the Earth is warming. The debate is on causation. Let me ask: if a person really believes in something but refuses to practice what they preach, are they dumb? If you doctor tells you that you need to lose weight and stop smoking, yet, is clearly overweight and smells like cigarettes, are they dumb? I actually switched doctors because of that exact situation. Is a physical fitness trainer dumb if they are clearly overweight? If they’re just talking about muscle and clearly have some, I’ll listen. I’ll help people on weights, but, not losing weight, since I’m bad at that. If someone tells you we’re doomed from the activities of Mankind making the planet too hot but do everything exactly opposite to save the Earth per their talking points, do you listen? Aren’t they the dumb ones?

Biden’s carbon footprint has to be one of the biggest in the world. He flies to and from Delaware most of his weekends in office.

The regulation, if implemented, would for the first time require employers to monitor workers and provide rest areas and water when the heat index reaches 80 degrees or higher. Employers would also be required to establish heat safety plans. The rule could apply to about 35 million Americans who work both indoors and outdoors. (snip)

The proposed heat rule is already facing opposition from industry groups that say it would drive up costs and would be cumbersome to administer. Opponents have indicated they intend to challenge the legality of the rule as soon as it is implemented, possibly late this year.

Under what duly passed law does this rule come from? Under what authority? I’m not necessarily against it (though 80 is silly, unless you live in Alaska and aren’t used to it), but, is there statutory authority, or, just more Executive Branch overreach? Too bad the elected GOP just do not have the cajones to introduce and vote on a bill that would require Biden to only travel in EVs, and no taxpayer funded flights except for official business.
