Macron Calls for End to Funding for Israeli Arms

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/6/2024 6:09:07 PM

The better Israel does in its ongoing retaliation against Iran and its terrorist proxies, the more it seems as if their supposed allies have lined up to thwart their efforts in every fashion imaginable. The latest to join the parade was French President Emmanuel Macron who is no longer willing to settle for Israel "showing restraint" against Lebanon and other targets. Yesterday, on a French radio program, Macron urged a return to "a political solution" to the ongoing dispute. He clarified what he meant, saying that the West should end arms deliveries to Israel for use in Gaza. The response from Prime Minister Netanyahu was rapid

Answer to #1's question. Yes, those who ask that question. France is one of the world's major arms dealers and Macron is not going to stop that gravy train anymore than Biden will. Unfortunately after the fiasco in Afghanistan we have lost the right to yuck it up about France's surrender to Germany 82 years ago. France at least had the excuse of surrendering to a superior military force while we surrendered to eighth century goat herders.

7, we didn't surrender in Afghanistan. The fake president ordered a disorganized retreat for no reason. Otoh, the French were utterly and completely defeated and conquered in combat. Very different. I have no problem continuing to mock the French for their humiliating loss.

The French government has earned--and continues to demonstrate, their historic non-aggression approach to evil. General George S. Patton understood this during WW II when he stated: "I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me". With the highest respect for the French Resistance for the courage they displayed in repelling the Nazi occupation when their spineless government chose to surrender once again to the Germans.

Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that Laken Riley would “probably” still be alive if the Biden-Harris administration had done a better job of vetting the illegal immigrant accused of killing her. Campaigning on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris, Mr. Clinton created more problems for the Democrat by saying the man charged with the slaying, Jose Ibarra, should not have been able to slip through the cracks. “Well, if they all had been properly vetted, that probably would not have happened,” Mr. Clinton said at a campaign stop in Georgia. Mr. Clinton added that the nation needs properly vetted immigrants to help increase the nation’s declining birth rate

American soldiers will reportedly send the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) air defense system to Israel in order to prepare for intercepting ballistic missiles, N12 reported on Saturday night. According to the report, such a decision would prompt the US to station American soldiers in Israel to operate the THAAD system. The decision to operate the THAAD US air defense system on Israeli soil would come in preparation for an expected Iranian response to Israel's anticipated retaliation strike on Iran, the N12 report noted. Following the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin also directed the deployment of the THAAD system to Israel, according

Vice President Harris is underperforming the last three Democratic candidates for the White House among Latino voters while her GOP competitor, former President Trump, maintains his support among the critical group of voters, a new survey found. The survey, conducted by the New York Times / Siena College, found Harris has slipped into low territory for Democrats.//snip//Throughout his three presidential campaigns, Trump has made immigration a focus. He’s targeted migrants for “invading” the country and took aim at the U.S.-Mexico border. The survey also found that most Hispanic respondents don’t feel like Trump is talking about them when he speaks on immigration.

In one of the most dramatic, high-risk space flights to date, SpaceX launched a gargantuan Super Heavy-Starship rocket on an unpiloted test flight Sunday and then used giant "mechazilla" mechanical arms on the pad gantry to pluck the descending first stage out of the sky in an unprecedented feat of engineering. The Starship upper stage, meanwhile, looped around the planet and re-entered the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean as planned, enduring temperatures nearing 3,000 degrees as it descended to a controlled, on-target splashdown. The spacecraft came through the hellish heat of re-entry in relatively good condition, protected by improved heat-shield tiles and beefed-up steering fins

We can see signs of the Democratic freak-out going on all around us, as they start to realize that maybe trading Joe Biden out for Kamala Harris wasn't the best idea. The most recent example is them dragging out Barack Obama to help Kamala in Pittsburgh. It showed how desperate they are. Even Obama admits there isn't the same enthusiasm that there had been for him. He blames black male voters -- the "brothas"-- and suggests they have a problem with Harris because she is a woman. You don't start looking for excuses like that unless you think that your side is losing or in trouble.
Advantage, Vance 1 reply

In the early days after Tim Walz and JD Vance were announced as vice presidential candidates, Walz scored higher approval ratings. Neither man was broadly familiar to the public, so that was an artifact of biased press coverage. But in the aftermath of Vance’s crushing debate victory, public opinion has shifted. Rasmussen finds Vance with a positive approval rating, 50% favorable to 42% unfavorable. Walz is under water, at 42% favorable and 44% unfavorable. Most respondents, of course, are just sticking up for their party, so Vance’s edge no doubt represents an even more significant gulf in public perception

The Biden-Harris administration reportedly colluded with foreign government entities in silencing Americans’ free speech, and one congresswoman has had enough. According to documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL) in September, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) took advice from UK government censors on how best to crush speech. The shocking documents came amid Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-SC) campaign to defund foreign censorship and prevent domestic election interference by suppressing speech. They also come after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted to censoring COVID-19 speech after government pressure. As alleged by AFL, the Biden White House hosted the UK government Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU),

Kamala Harris is on a "media blitz" because her numbers are slipping. Badly. This is about the 18th version of Kamala Harris--she "reboots" so regularly because she is no good at this campaigning thing... I'm pretty sure her internal polls show worse numbers than that. The blitz is not going well at all, unfortunately for her (or Tim Walz, who just had a disastrous interview on Good Morning America). The latest clusterfark for Kamala was her Univision "town hall," during which she gave the same canned answers she always does, and as a result, I think you can rest assured that her poor performance with Latinos is about to

A third assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump was thwarted at the last minute Saturday when local cops stopped a man armed with guns and fake passes outside his rally at Coachella Valley, the local sheriff said. The suspect was caught about a mile from the rally venue with a phony-entry pass, according to police. He was also carrying a loaded shotgun, handgun and high capacity magazine. “We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said. The suspect, identified as Vem Miller, was intercepted by police at a checkpoint about a half-mile from the rally entrance. He was carrying a fake phony press and VIP passes.

I’m so old I remember when we learned about advertising fakery by ordering stuff like sea horses and x-ray vision glasses from the back of comic books. Younger generations caught on when they compared what they’d seen in the TV ads with the actual products. For voters this time around all they have to do is scan X online. The sea horse ads were better fakes than the Harris-Walz team is churning out. Of course, there is the candidates’ utter failure in public appearances -- such as they are -- to show Harris-Walz viewers that they are phony, unserious contenders for the highest offices in the land.

Washington — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday that disinformation surrounding the election, along with false claims about the government's response to recent hurricanes, is "extremely damaging." "It causes people to lose confidence in the integrity of the election system, and we need people in positions of authority to actually communicate accurate information to the voting public," Mayorkas said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on Sunday. The comments came in response to new CBS News polling, which showed that 65% of Trump voters believe the Biden administration has tried to increase the number of migrant crossings at the southern border.

Usually, that’s something an openly gay teacher would do. However, when it’s an ostensibly straight teacher, my radar pings. But my pinging radar means nothing. What may also mean nothing is that two citizen journalists are alleging that they’ve found young men speaking anonymously about the fact that Walz groomed them while they were under his aegis in high school.

The scandal engulfing CBS' 60 Minutes over its edited interview with Kamala Harris has turbocharged fears that the Democrat is being shepherded into the White House by a liberal media increasingly desperate to cover for her shortcomings. The presidential race has been dogged by allegations of media bias since the moment Harris unseated Joe Biden as the Democrat pick in the wake of his disastrous debate with Donald Trump in June. Apart from glowing magazine profiles and softball interviews with handpicked reporters, the VP has largely side-stepped the media exposure that candidates traditionally allow.
