RIP to Biden's Gaza Pier As He Chalks
Up Another Foreign Policy Disaster
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/15/2024 11:56:28 AM
Joe Biden has logged yet another foreign policy disaster under his belt after the Pentagon announced the "Gaza pier" will be dismantled due to damage. Some press reports describe the move as "temporary," though it's questionable whether the project will ever resume after being completely torn down and towed away. This marks the latest in a string of logistical issues involving the president's prized pier.For context, the pier has been in place for less than a month, and it's already suffered multiple shutdowns related to moderate seas overtaking it. Here's the full timeline illustrating just how absurd this idea was.

NEW YORK — During his meeting with Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer earlier today on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken reiterated the Biden administration’s belief that an Israeli escalation against Hezbollah will only make it more difficult to accomplish the objective of returning evacuated Israelis to their homes along the northern border.
The meeting comes against the backdrop of fury in the Biden administration over what it says was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s utter about-face regarding the 21-day ceasefire initiative between Israel and Hezbollah that the US helped broker. The White House says it announced the proposal yesterday

Vice President Kamala Harris’s latest word salad is being roasted online after telling the Economic Club of Pittsburgh to “let that then inspire us by helping us to be inspired.”
Harris used the Wednesday event in Pennsylvania to go over her economic agenda, highlighting the need to keep an inspired “spirit.”
“We need to guard that spirit. We have to guard that spirit. Let it always inspire us. Let it always be the source of our optimism, which is that spirit that is uniquely American. Let that then inspire us by helping us to be inspired to solve the problems that so many face, including our small business owners,” the Democrat said.
Sorry: California, a Free State, Apologizes

for Slavery as Newsom Signs Reparations Bills 10 replies
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a series of “reparations” bills on Thursday, including a formal apology for slavery, even though the state entered the Union as a free state in 1850.
The apology reads, in part:
Whereas, Well after California entered the Union and declared itself a free state outlawing slavery, more than 2,000 enslaved African people were brought to California from 1850 to 1860.
Whereas, the California Supreme Court enforced fugitive slave laws until 1865, stating that the antislavery law in the California Constitution was merely a “declaration of a principle.”

Resolved, The State of California apologizes
It's not exactly a secret that Kamala Harris is deliberately seeking out friendly ground for her "interviews" since becoming the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Nor is it a secret that these interviews haven't exactly gone well for her. No matter how much she tries to stack the deck in her favor, she doesn't come across well. Generally speaking, you have to go to conservative-leaning outlets to get a more fair assessment of her performances, though.
For example, last month she did a joint interview with her running mate Tim Walz on CNN conducted by anchor Dana Bash—and it went terribly. That didn't stop Bash from defending Kamala's
Howard Lutnick, the CEO of financial services company Cantor Fitzgerald, explained in an exclusive interview Thursday on FOX Business' "Mornings with Maria" why he’s backing former President Trump’s economic agenda over that of Vice President Kamala Harris.
"He will drive down the cost of energy, and he will drive down corporate taxes, which means they will build factories here, bring back farming. Tariffs will protect our farmers. Manufacturing will employ our people and energy will drive down our costs," Lutnick told host Maria Bartiromo.
"We have oil, we have farmland, and we have incredible people who can do our work for us," he continued. "And we're just killing them by supporting
Most Teamsters Union workers across critical Rust Belt states have switched their support in this year’s presidential election to former President Donald Trump after backing President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris took his place as the Democrat nominee.
A survey of Teamsters across all 50 states shows massive support for Trump.
Most significantly, though, Trump has successfully flipped support away from Democrats in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, where union workers are seemingly dissatisfied with Harris.
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban said Thursday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that Fox News is the mainstream media when discussing the coverage of the Harris-Walz campaign.
Host Joe Kernen said, “Did you see the Elon quote? I don’t know what what you think about Elon.”
Cuban said, “I like Elon.”
Kernen said, “I like Elon too. She was at 28% favorability and then as you say, all the way up to about 50%. I would argue that filling in the blanks does not account for that move and the media coverage has been so positive and almost, Mark, that it’s like, we don’t have to worry about electing this guy who is clearly
The open borders policy of the Biden/Harris administration has allowed scores of criminal gangs from foreign countries to invade the U.S. and begin organizing their nefarious activities. Recently, Texas governor Greg Abbott announced that his state is launching an operation that will aggressively target the dangerous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), designating them as a terrorist group. Once again, Donald Trump was correct when he warned us that other countries are emptying their prisons and sending the prisoners into our homeland. The former president also told us that those criminals are more fiercely violent than any we have seen in the States.
Every day Kamala Harris attempts to do media, it stuns me that Julia Louis-Dreyfus isn't suing the Vice President for intellectual property theft. At the very least, the Veep star should be legally allowed to claim royalties from the actual Veep.
Harris' Hump Day frolic through Pittsburgh consisted of a speech to the Economic Club, followed by a 24-minute and change sit-down with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle. How did Ruhle score such an exclusive? By interceding on Bill Maher's Real Time on HBO last Friday night when New York Times columnist Bret Stephens dared to note that there is no there, there with Kamala Harris on policy.
WASHINGTON – China sought to cover up the sinking of its newest nuclear-powered submarine, according to a senior US defense official.
The sinking at a shipyard earlier this year was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, which also says that satellite imagery later showed large floating cranes arriving to salvage it.
“It’s not surprising that the PLA Navy would try to conceal the fact that their new first-in-class nuclear-powered attack submarine sank pierside,” the senior US defense official says on condition of anonymity, referring to Beijing’s People’s Liberation Army Navy. "In addition to the obvious questions about training standards and equipment quality, the incident raises deeper questions
The Israelis have had enough. They have had enough of Hamas, had enough of Hezbollah, and they especially have had enough of foreigners bearing cease-fire proposals.
Voices across the political spectrum in Israel made that clear after the US and France suggested a 21-day cease-fire in Lebanon, and some media outlets reported that both sides had accepted. Benjamin Netanyahu scoffed at the report today, telling reporters he hadn't even seen the details yet, let alone reach any conclusions about it:
“The report about a ceasefire is incorrect,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement it issued while Netanyahu was en route to New York to address the high-level

President Joe Biden’s administration released details of a new executive order on Thursday aimed at targeting machine-gun conversion devices and 3D-printed firearms, as well as improving active-shooter drills in schools.
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver remarks on reducing gun violence one year after Biden appointed Harris to oversee the White House’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention, the White House announced Thursday morning. It will mark the Biden-Harris administration’s latest effort to crack down on gun violence.

Trump Supporters ‘Deplorables,’ Says
it’s ‘Too Kind a Word’ 33 replies
Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doubled down this week on calling half of former President Donald Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables.”
Clinton reflected on the infamous and divisive comment she made during a fundraiser in 2016 in a Washington Post op-ed published on Wednesday, adapted from her new book Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty. In the article, the former secretary of state recalled a meeting she had with a former white supremacist who now works to deprogram people leaving hate groups as an entry to discuss her “deplorables” comment, and said the term is “too kind a word”
There is currently a major manhunt underway by US Marshals for Nathan Wade, the former Fulton County investigator and DA Fani Willis’s lover.
Jesse Watters broke the news Thursday evening on FOX News.
Jesse Watters: Lover boy, Nathan Wade is missing. The House Judiciary Committee, which is investigating Georgia DA Fannie Willis, needs Wade to testify at a hearing tomorrow on their love affair. But no one can find the guy. They’re trying to serve him, but he’s flown the coop, and now the US marshals are in a manhunt to track him down. Have they checked the conduct?

London’s Labour Party Mayor Sadiq Khan is urging Americans not to reelect Donald Trump in what is a clear example of foreign election interference.
Democrats in the United States spent years pushing the idea that foreign election interference from Russia and other international actors got Trump elected in 2016. Where are they now?
Of course, anyone who has looked at what has become of London on Khan’s watch might consider this as a campaign contribution to Trump.

Coca-Cola is facing boycott calls after people on social media revealed that the company was not allowing “Trump 2024” or “Jesus” to be placed on the cans.
While people attempting to personalize cans with messages such as, “Trump 2024” or “Jesus loves you,” have received messages stating that the name is “not approved,” other messages such as “Harris Walz 2024,” “Satan” and “Allah” were reportedly allowed, according to the Daily Mail. Messages supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, satan, and Allah were reportedly allowed prior to the company fixing a “glitch,” according to the outlet.
Hooters - known for its scantily-clad waitresses - is the latest American restaurant chain facing financial problems.
Bosses at the chain are in urgent talks with lenders and advisers as the popular chain tries to address $300 million of debts, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Earlier this year, Hooters shuttered around 40 'underperforming' restaurants including locations Florida, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia as it bid to cut costs. But debts are mounting and more drastic action is needed for the 41-year-old brand.
If Hooters cannot refinance its debt, it would have to consider bankruptcy and more closures.
Some 127 Pizza Hut restaurants across five states in the South and Midwest are at risk of closing for good.
The franchisee who runs them has put them up for sale after filing for bankruptcy in July due to mounting debts..
It is all linked to a major financial bust-up between Pizza Hut's parent company and franchisee EYM Group. Some 15 Pizza Hut locations that EYM ran in Indiana and Ohio were abruptly shuttered at the end of June as a result of the dispute. They remain closed.
EYM has now asked advisory firm National Franchise Sales to help find a buyer for a further 127
On January 6, 2021, nearly five hours passed between the breach of the Capitol perimeter and the arrival of a National Guard contingent ready and waiting to deploy just ten minutes away. Had the National Guard arrived within that first hour, “January 6” would have no more historical resonance than any other day on the calendar.
Any number of people bear the blame for this calamitous security failure, but that list does not include the two most frequently cited scapegoats, the D.C. National Guard or President Donald Trump.
Of the thousands of words of sworn testimony, some of the most revealing came from Colonel Earl Matthews.
A senior Biden-Harris official was reportedly infuriated last week after Israel ignored his advice and launched a series of attacks against Hezbollah.
The Biden-Harris administration has become increasingly concerned that a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah is set to erupt, as the two have been locked in a conflict that has grown in both scope and severity over the Israeli-Lebanese border in recent weeks. Biden senior adviser Amos Hochstein in recent months has been serving as an envoy to mediators in the Middle East to try to keep tensions low between Israel and Hezbollah while also negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas,

A judge on Thursday unsealed a federal indictment against New York Mayor Eric Adams accusing him of taking bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources. Adams’s residence was searched earlier in the day.
Adams faces five criminal charges, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, prosecutors said in the indictment. Adams is accused of accepting benefits from foreign businesspeople and a Turkish government official who officials said were trying to influence him.
The mayor, who became the first New York City mayor to be criminally charged while in office, issued a video statement Wednesday denying the prosecutors’ claims. The accusations, he added, are “entirely false” and “based on lies.”
A Secret Service agent accused of sexually assaulting a staffer for Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin was ‘fall-down drunk’ when he forcibly groped her.

Stephanie Ruhle, Who Admits Harris Didn't
Answer Questions 17 replies
Stephanie Ruhle appeared on Friday on Bill Maher's "Real Time" show and, incredibly, argued that people shouldn't demand or expect answers from Kamala Harris on the issues since she was running against former President Donald Trump. It was a ridiculous position for someone who claimed to be a journalist arguing against the questioning of a presidential candidate because she supported her.
So perhaps it's not surprising that Harris who has given very few interviews then gave Ruhle an interview. Harris no doubt thought she could walk through a softball interview with Ruhle after what Ruhle said. She knew she could count on not being pressed, given what Ruhle said.
