Here’s why it is clear and irrefutable that Donald Trump deserves to be re-elected, and the country badly needs his leadership.
(1) Heading in the Wrong Direction
The nation is on a troubling path. Open borders have led to an influx of unvetted illegal migrants, attracting drug cartels, gangs, human trafficking networks, and terrorists, who invade and exploit vulnerable suburban neighborhoods. Innocent lives have been taken due to this flagrant violation of our country’s constitutional laws.
Meanwhile, soaring inflation and interest rates have made life increasingly difficult for middle- and low-income Americans who struggle with exorbitant costs
Additionally, concerns over political freedom have emerged, with Biden and Harris weaponizing the justice system to target political opponents through “lawfare,” rather than protecting the American people’s freedoms.
The left is on a mission to censor the opposition, suppress the facts, and control the flow of (mis)information. This poses an existential threat to democracy which must be defeated, or the future of our republic is in peril.
(2) Dangerous Radical-Left Ideologies
Progressive policies have redefined essential aspects of American life, from “woke” gender ideologies and immorality infiltrating schools and institutions to controversial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies affecting our everyday lives. The left has promoted late-term abortions, even during the ninth month, when a child is viable.
Biological males can access women’s locker rooms and sports, eroding women’s rights and protections. Meanwhile, taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for illegal aliens in prisons, promoted by Kamala Harris, reveal how her radical agenda has shifted society away from core American values, and toward dangerous social experimentation.
(3) Attacks on Our Closest Ally, Israel
The recent, brutal assault on Israel by Hamas and other Iranian Proxies underscored the critical importance of maintaining strong relationships with allies. Biden’s lifting of sanctions on Iran has fueled regional instability, enabling adversaries to target Israel, our strongest Middle Eastern ally.
Kamala Harris has been sympathetic and supportive of pro-Hamas elements which have hijacked the Democrat party.
Trump’s first administration, by contrast, made historic strides in fostering peace in the region by strengthening Israel. These include the embassy move, recognition of sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and Abraham Accords, which expanded diplomatic ties and enhanced Israel’s security.
(4) Strengthening Economy Through Capitalism
Trump’s commitment to free-market capitalism starkly contrasts with the current administration’s tilt–or total shift–toward socialism. His tax cuts and deregulatory policies served as a catalyst for business growth and prosperity, creating jobs and exciting opportunities for all Americans.
The current administration’s policies of wealth redistribution, heavy regulation, and crushing climate policies reflect a socialist direction, which stifles innovation, job creation, and personal responsibility. Trump’s policies created explosive economic growth that benefited American workers, helped the ‘little guy’ and allowed families to thrive.
(5) School Choice and Support for Communities of Faith
Trump has been a vocal advocate for school choice, which provides much-needed support to parents who want quality education options. This approach especially resonates with the Orthodox Jewish community, who face astronomical private school tuition costs. Trump’s policies would ease this financial burden and give parents more control over their children’s education, in line with their faith and values.
‘America First’ Foreign Policy and National Security: For the first time in decades, there were no wars during Trump’s presidency. His foreign policy focused on reducing U.S. involvement in costly foreign entanglements while prioritizing American interests and security. His firm stance on military strength and global engagement left the U.S. safer and respected on the world stage, in stark contrast to the Biden administration’s policies of weakness and cowardice that have led to escalating international crises and heavily diminished national security.
(6) Return to Law and Order
For decades Trump has championed justice and law enforcement, recognizing the need to keep our communities safe and secure. His commitment to law and order offers a counterpoint to current policies, which have encouraged violent crime, theft and shoplifting to surge. Under Trump, Americans knew they could depend on a leader who would prioritize the safety of their children, families and neighborhoods, while protecting and supporting the police who risk their lives daily to protect our citizens.
(7) Two Divergent Visions for America
This election represents a choice between two distinct paths: one vision that promotes a prosperous, secure, and proud America, and another that leans toward economic hardship, international instability, and ideological experimentation. Trump’s re-election would mean a return to policies that champion freedom, economic opportunity, and American pride.
It’s time to make America great, prosperous, safe, and proud again.
In Conclusion…
President Trump is the candidate with the unwavering values, moral clarity, strength, integrity, courage, resolve, and principles to lead our nation out of the many struggles we face. He is a proven winner.
Most importantly, as during his first term, Trump demonstrated leadership abilities and success, despite immeasurable obstacles and enmity from the Democrats, media, and even some Republicans.
The choice is clear.

CNN interview where he made clear that the United States
would not support Israel’s incursion into Rafah to route
the remaining Hamas terrorists responsible for 10/7.Let me get this straight: The United States devoted a decade to
hunting down and assassinating Osama bin Laden,
killing 250,000 Afghani and Iraqi civilians along the way.
No condemning U.N. resolutions. No protests. No International
Court of Justice proceedings. All throughout America’s War on Terror,
Israel provided necessary intelligence and regional backup,
and erected a 9/11 memorial —t he only one outside
the United States listing the names of all victims.Yet, the Biden administration is withholding from Israel the necessary
weaponry (already earmarked by Congress) with which to conduct
its wholly justified military operations? Israel does not require Biden’s blessing.
And the precision of the Rafah campaign will now be less precise.Curiously, the president repeatedly acknowledged that 10/7 was
an unprovoked attack for which Israel has a moral and legal right of self-defense,
and that Hamas presents an existential threat that must be eradicated.
Biden’s “ironclad” commitment to Israel has already gone limp.Apparently, unlike the United States, Israel must be denied
its moral obligation to bring justice to its people and security to its borders.
It can defend against missiles, but not dismantle them at the source.Biden’s actions have given comfort to Hamas and its patron, Iran.
Why should Hamas return hostages (some, Americans),
if Biden is singularly focused on constraining Israeli military offenses?Moreover, Biden just gave a shout-out to those ignorant college students
and their Jew-hating, anti-American professors. Sorry, “Genocide Joe,”
asserting your mojo and cultivating a youthful
antisemitic constituency won’t help you come November.For reasons only rabid progressives can explain, Palestinians,
who are more like Hamas accomplices than true civilians,
are more precious than the world’s other civilians.Is it because Jews aren’t permitted to win wars,
especially against brown-skinned people?The Jewish state must always agree to ceasefires,
perform humanitarian acts while fighting in self-defense, and sue for peace.This betrayal has little to do with moral equivocation
and everything to do with local politics. Biden will, apparently,
do or say anything to woo the 600,000 Muslim voters of Michigan,
and stay within the good graces of that
dreadful Detroit Motown act, Bernie Sanders and the Squad.Is it worth it, this backstabbing of Jewish-Americans, an important
minority reliably loyal to the Democratic Party? Always true blue,
as if the Party had nominated Moses as its standard bearer
and Anne Frank as his running mate. The progressive perfidy
is even more heartbreaking. Jews stood at the forefront of
nearly every movement of social activism in the United States,
from labor unions to civil liberties, feminism, civil rights, and gay rights.Apparently, the reward for all those years of solidarity
has been exclusion and antisemitism.In the end, Joe Biden picked the Muslims of Michigan over
moral clarity, a coherent foreign policy, and love of country.SOURCE: article titled: “So Long, Democratic Party”

for The Los Angeles Jewish Journal:“The past eight years have been one slow death march of
the Democratic Party’s abandonment of its Jewish voting bloc.”Not that my political affiliation is any of your business,
but I thought I might share with you that after 46 years
as a die-hard Democrat, I have alerted the New York State
Board of Elections that I am now, officially, an Independent.Honestly, I couldn’t take it anymore.
My options, as a voter, are now more open than ever.The past eight years have been one slow death march of
the Democratic Party’s abandonment of its Jewish voting bloc.
It coincided with a descent into an illiberal, ahistorical and
morally misguided adherence to identity politics,
intersectionality, CRT, DEI, anti-colonialism,
and the social upheavals wrought by “political correctness.”It has led to a wide assortment of pathologies, ranging from
restrictions on free speech and open inquiry to the debasement
of our immigration laws, the bedlam on our streets and college campuses,
the desertion of foreign allies, the brainwashing of our youth,
the wrecking of our economy, the upending of gender and sexual categories,
and an appalling anti-Americanism that I surely have not seen in my lifetime.Party leaders have taken for granted that Jewish Republicans
are an anathema, and people like me, who identify with 19th-century liberalism,
have nowhere else to go. Believing that there is no risk of flight,
they have consigned Jewish -Americans to a political party
allied with those who would wipe Israel from the map
(if these domestic haters could only find it on a map).Those presumptions may turn out to be false.
Jewish affiliation with Republican politics has already grown,
and stands at 29%—even before some of the recent events
that have alienated Jewish Democrats.
And while there’s no actual party for Americans who eschew
the two-party system altogether, I do not believe
I will be alone this election as an unaffiliated voter.To remain with the Democratic ticket would make me feel like a real donkey.
I can live without an animal mascot representing independent voters
(I suggest one that naturally stands apart from the herd).
And I have reconciled myself to knowing that in 2022,
New York banned any political party wishing to refer to itself as Independent.…The [Democratic] Party has fast become a home for left-wing zealots
for whom nothing matters more than pronoun usage, open borders,
and emptying our prisons of overrepresented minorities.The Democrats finally became the party that progressives and socialists
wanted in electing Barack Obama. It was unfeasible for him,
at the time, to implement the political transformation
he had hoped his administration would bring. (Yes, I voted for him twice,
even as I feared the generational damage it might inflict.)Ironically, it was his politically more moderate vice president, Joe Biden,
who would eventually accede to the Oval Office and take America
in a direction that would make Bill Ayers,
Pastor Jeremiah Wright and Reverend Louis Farrakhan proud.For me, the breaking point came with Joe Biden’s shameful CNN interview
where he made clear that the United States would not support
Israel’s incursion into Rafah to route
the remaining Hamas terrorists responsible for 10/7.Let me get this straight: The United States devoted a decade to
hunting down and assassinating Osama bin Laden,
killing 250,000 Afghani and Iraqi civilians along the way.
No condemning U.N. resolutions. No protests. No International
Court of Justice proceedings. All throughout America’s War on Terror,
Israel provided necessary intelligence and regional backup,
and erected a 9/11 memorial —t he only one outside
the United States listing the names of all victims.Yet, the Biden administration is withholding from Israel the necessary
weaponry (already earmarked by Congress) with which to conduct
its wholly justified military operations? Israel does not require Biden’s blessing.
And the precision of the Rafah campaign will now be less precise.Curiously, the president repeatedly acknowledged that 10/7 was
an unprovoked attack for which Israel has a moral and legal right of self-defense,
and that Hamas presents an existential threat that must be eradicated.
Biden’s “ironclad” commitment to Israel has already gone limp.
Apparently, unlike the United States, Israel must be denied
its moral obligation to bring justice to its people and security to its borders.
It can defend against missiles, but not dismantle them at the source.Biden’s actions have given comfort to Hamas and its patron, Iran.
Why should Hamas return hostages (some, Americans),

endorsing ANY presidential candidate. THE WASHINGTON POST
is one of America’s most Liberal/Leftist newspapers,
and was expected to endorse Kamala Harris for President.This is a big embarrassment for Kamala Harris.
If I remember correctly, the same thing recently happened

Last month the revolutionaries and the administration
converged before the cameras at meeting between
Vice President Kamala Harris and students
at George Mason University in Virginia.A female student with the voice of a child used her
audience with Harris as an opportunity to promote
the revolution’s vicious hatred of Jews, and of America.
She sniffed emotionally under her mask and told
America’s second highest elected official that her feelings
were hurt when Congress passed a bill for supplemental
funding to Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system.The move, she yowled,
“hurts my heart because it’s an ethnic genocide
and a displacement of people,
the same that happened in America,
and I’m sure you’re aware of this.”[Kamala] Harris might have been expected to call
the student out for promoting anti-Semitic and
anti-American blood libels. But she didn’t.Instead, [Kamala] Harris empowered the young bigot.
She said she was “glad” the student shared her views.“This is about the fact that your voice, your perspective,

“Michael Rapaport [a Jewish actor and comedian], a staunch critic
of former President Trump, admitted he was previously
‘ill-informed’ about Trump’s record on Israel, the economy.”Liberal actor and comedian Michael Rapaport announced that
he couldn’t vote for Vice President Harris in the November election
and that the Democratic Party’s treatment of Israel
had made him reconsider supporting former President Trump.“I’m now a one-issue voter: my money and Israel,” he told
former ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele on the July 31
“The Sage Steele Podcast.” “I’m not voting for Kamala Harris.
I can’t do it,” he continued.
“I can’t support a party that is about all this bulls—.”Rapaport has increasingly called out his own political party for its stance on Israel.
In May, he announced President Biden had also lost his support
in the upcoming election, and he was considering voting for Trump.The actor went even further on Steele’s podcast.
“I was wrong,” he said about his past criticism of Trump.
“I was first in line talking s— about Trump.”While Rapaport said he still finds Trump’s rhetoric and behavior
unpresidential, he admitted he was previously “ill-informed”
about Trump’s record on Israel, Iran and the economy.Rapaport stopped short of saying he was going to vote for
the GOP candidate in the election but said the option was still on the table.”At the end of the day, I want my interest rates down…
and Israel needs to be protected more than ever right now,”
he said about his two voting priorities.Rapaport also called out progressives who protested
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
last month when he gave an address to Congress.“While there’s eight American hostages in Gaza, they didn’t show up,
proudly. Bernie and the burnouts, the Squad, all these race-hustling con artists,”
he blasted. “They weaponize it to a point that it’s dangerous.”“I don’t care what you think of [Netanyahu],” he continued.
“Israel is America’s biggest ally, while we’re under siege,
not just from Hamas…but also proxies from Iran.
This isn’t just about Israel.”Rapaport also slammed Hollywood and the sports world
for not speaking out on October 7 and demanding the hostages
be brought home calling the silence “embarrassing.”“We speak out about everything. It could be climate change,
it could be women’s rights, it could be abortion rights,
LGBTQ —we say stuff about everything,” he said.”The silence has been madly deafening,” he continued.
Back in May, Rapaport said that a comedy show of his,
set to take place in Madison, Wisconsin, was canceled
due to threats of violence in the wake of his support for Israel.“I was extremely p—ed off,” Rapaport stated at the time.
“I didn’t imagine, didn’t think that it would get to a point
where my beliefs and me standing up for what I know is right,
regarding Jews, regarding Israel, regarding being Jewish
and just the right thing, would get to a point where a club
would cancel my show because they are afraid of an incident happening.”The venue, Comedy on State, reportedly explained to ticket holders
in an email that the show was canceled due to safety concerns
stemming from “escalating protests” and the
“contentious nature of the dialogue” surrounding the conflict in Gaza.SOURCE: article titled: “Media Comic Michael Rapaport says

has been on my mind for more than 25 years.MY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM:
Every large kiruv organization (NSCY, Aish HaTorah, etc)
should employ a team of highly-qualified genealogists,
to investigate the ancestry of every Baal Teshuvah.This investigation by expert genealogists should be provided
free-of-charge to every Baal Teshuvah, but the organization
should hold those records permanently, for future reference.This investigation by genealogists should be done
as soon as possible, even before the Baal Teshuvah
is admitted to the kiruv programs.Some will be revealed to be Gentiles.
Some will be revealed to be mamzerim.
Some will be revealed to be chalalim.This makes kiruv more expensive, but it cannot be avoided.
Last but not least, it would be praiseworthy if every Baal Teshuvah
(and every Jew in general) would take a DNA test that proves
that he [or she] really is the son [or [daughter] of his [or her] father.Without this DNA test, this person could be a mamzer and not know it,
and unintentionally become the ancestor of thousands of mamzerim.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantThis short article is from Yehuda Dov for VINNews (dot) com:
Demonstrating a major lack of journalistic integrity,
CBS intentionally doctored a “60 minutes” interview with Kamala Harris,
editing out her garbled and incomprehensible answer to a question
about Israel with a completely different answer to the version that aired.
The news outlet has come under strong criticism, with the Trump campaign
demanding that CBS release the original transcript of the interview.When asked by host Bill Whitaker why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the United States
regarding the war in Lebanon and his response
to the Iran attack, [Kamala] Harris originally replied:“Well Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel that
were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things,
including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.”After the clip received backlash over Kamala’s rambling
and unclear answer, CBS inserted a totally different sentence
in the version that aired, a sentence said earlier in the interview:“We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary
for the United States to be clear about
where we stand on the need for this war to end.”Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded,
stating that “On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala’s
highly-anticipated sit-down interview with one of her worst word salads to date,
which received significant criticism on social media.
During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad
was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala’s idiotic response.”“Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala’s
full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air?” she asked.
“The American people deserve the full, unedited transcript from
Kamala’s sit-down interview. We call upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release it.”Other journalists and social media influencers called out
60 Minutes for its behavior, with Geiger Capital stressing:”Mixing and matching questions and answers.
This isn’t journalism. It’s fraud.”Newsweek Editor-in-Chief Josh Hammer called the interview
a “word-turd sandwich” and blasted [Kamala] Harris for purportedly
standing with Israel but not with Netanyahu.Investor Bill Ackman questioned: “how could @60Minutes’ manipulation
occur without the consent of @KamalaHarris? Let’s not forget she is
the Vice President of the United States and she is being asked
about our foreign policy in the Middle East and our relationship
with the leader of our principal ally in the region.“Thinking about this more, the only plausible explanation is that
the Vice President herself and/or her administration found that
her original answer, which implied that Israel’s actions in
the region were a direct result of the Biden/Harris policy,
would harm her campaign and would therefore
need to be expurgated from the public record.“In order to execute such a violation of journalistic ethics,
I would expect that CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon and possibly
Shari Redstone herself would have had to approve the manipulated video.“This is a story worthy of investigative journalism from real journalists.
Where are they? Where are the whistleblowers?
Or are all of them so ideologically compromised that they are prepared
to sacrifice the truth and their integrity in an effort to elect their favored candidate?”SOURCE: article titled:

“The idea that terrorists attack because they hate freedom,
however, is misguided,” Philip Gordon wrote in “Winning the Right War.”
“Even most of the Muslims who support terrorism and trust
Osama bin Laden favor elected government” and “personal liberty.”[Philip] Gordon, [ex-President] Obama’s future Middle East coordinator,
explained in his book that Muslim terrorists weren’t “born evil”
and did not “hate our freedoms”, but rather feel “shame” over
the state of “a once great Islamic civilization”
surpassed by other cultures including “the local upstart, Israel.”America was “creating conditions” that “generate” Islamic terrorism
by detaining Al Qaeda terrorists, failing to punish American soldiers
and “justifying any Israeli military action.” Gordon urged
the White House to assure Iran that we have
“no intention of using military force against Iran or fomenting internal dissent”
because “Iran’s concerns about such issues are legitimate.”Published in 2007 by an imprint of The New York Times,
[Philip] Gordon’s book was a blueprint of the policies the
Obama administration would adopt,
including blaming America and Israel,
appeasing Iran and Islamists and making
Muslims feel better about themselves.
These are the building blocks of the policies that led us
to October 7 [2023] and an Iranian war across the region.Today, [Philip] Gordon is Kamala’s national security adviser,
and possible future secretary of state.[Philip] Gordon’s hostility toward Israel and sympathy for
Islamic terrorists is a longstanding matter. Even before joining
the Biden administration, he had co-written an article with
Iran lobby figure Robert Malley, currently under FBI investigation
for mishandling classified documents, urging Biden
to reverse Trump’s possible recognition of Israel territory
and to cut political and economic support for Israel to punish it
for its diplomatic successes under the Trump administration.Recently, [Philip] Gordon urged Israel to stop seeking victory
against Hamas and accept a hostage deal that would allow the
Islamic terrorist group to hang on in Gaza and free thousands of terrorists.In his book, [Philip] Gordon claimed that
“though Hamas refuses to recognize Israel today,
it is not hard to imagine an eventual change in that position.”
And in 2014, he argued that a reconciliation deal
between the PLO and Hamas “isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”In 2016, Gordon, speaking on behalf of the Clinton campaign,
appeared at a conference of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC),
widely regarded as the Iran lobby, and promised that Hillary Clinton
would veto new sanctions on Iran. He was described as assuring
the Iran lobby of the “potential for collaboration with Iran.”
The New York Times even appeared to list him as a “tour guide” on its Iran trips.And [Philip] Gordon is not the only terror booster on Kamala’s team.
Ilan Goldenberg, a key member of the Kerry team who played
vital roles in the Obama administration’s campaigns against Israel
and for Iran, serves as her Middle East adviser,
and would have a more prominent role in any administration.[Ilan] Goldenberg complained that the Trump administration had
taken Israel’s side during the Hamas border riots that served as
a prep for Oct. 7, objected that moving the embassy to Jerusalem
had not been packaged with similar concessions to the terrorists
and co-authored a paper with Hady Amr,
who acts as Biden’s point man to the terrorists.The paper proposed that “the United States, UNSCO, and Egypt
should work quietly in concert, engaging with Israel, the PA, Hamas”
to secure a “long-term ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas,
with Israel accepting that “Hamas would retain some of its military capabilities.”At one session Goldenberg urged, “You used to have 25,000,
100,000 Gazans working inside Israel. That needs to happen again.
The Israelis know who these guys are.
They can start with a few thousand work permits.
And there’s a lot of support for that in all of the Israeli communities around Gaza.”Prior to Oct. 7 [2023], Gazans flooded Israel, scouted those
“Israeli communities around Gaza” and when Oct. 7 began,
came back with maps of the communities so that they knew
where the security teams were,
which houses had dogs and where the children could be found.[Philip] Gordon and [Ilan] Goldenberg, who are set to play major roles
in a Harris administration, have expressed no regrets or retractions
of their past policies and positions. Even as the Middle East burns
due to Iranian terrorism, all they have done is double down.In a co-written op-ed headlined, “Relax, Israel — if your ally
is working with your enemy, it doesn’t make them friends.”
Goldenberg envisioned that “In the aftermath of a successful nuclear deal,
U.S. relations with Iran should shift from that of an adversary to that of a competitor.”His position on Israel was rather different, with op-eds like
“Why Israel’s Settlement Construction Must Be Stopped” and
“How Israel Brought U.N. Resolution on Itself With Irrational Settlement Push”.Under a Secretary of State Phil Gordon, the Abraham Accords
and normalization with countries like Saudi Arabia, which one
of his op-eds described as an “Arabian fantasy,” would be
swept aside in a return of Obama’s non-stop
pressure campaign on Israel to create a terrorist state.“How will it have peace if it is unwilling to delineate a border,
end the occupation, and allow for Palestinian sovereignty, security, and dignity?”
Gordon had said at a conference in Israel right after terror rockets began to fall.
“It cannot maintain military control of another people indefinitely.
Doing so is not only wrong but a recipe for resentment and recurring instability.”After the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens by Hamas,
Gordon equated Israel and the terrorists, claimed that both sides
suffered from “racism,” told “both sides to demonstrate reason and calm”
and warned that “calls for retribution and revenge have no place on either side.”
Finally he falsely contended that “neither side” was
“ready to make the difficult decisions required for an agreement.”Goldenberg had similarly argued that “half the root causes are Israeli actions,
in terms of — especially just focusing on Gaza, on the blockade.
And the other half is Hamas’s choice to use violence and arm itself in response.”That false paradigm has been markedly present
in Kamala’s attacks on Israel after Oct 7 [2023].Kamala’s relentless criticism of Israel’s self-defense is a preview of things to come.
Behind her escalating rhetoric are a group of anti-Israel figures
from the Obama administration. Goldenberg was one of
the radicals brought in by the Warren campaign and
then injected into the Biden administration.Gordon is a longtime State Department anti-Israel figure
from a faction whose fingerprints are all over
the policies that empowered Iran and set the region on fire.What would Kamala’s foreign policy look like?
The presence of Gordon and Goldenberg as her close advisers
on the region shows that it would be the Obama administration on steroids.SOURCE: article titled: “Kamala’s anti-Israel

which does not differentiate between fighters and civilians.He stated that “Israel has to strike on occasion at places like hospitals and schools,
because Hamas uses them for command and control or to fire mortars and rockets.
There are civilian casualties in Gaza, no doubt,
but those are solely the responsibility of Hamas, not Israel.”Despite acknowledging the complexity of the situation, [Senator Tom] Cotton
criticized Harris and President Joe Biden for exerting more pressure on Israel
than on Hamas from the onset of the conflict.He also reproached [Kamala] Harris for not fulfilling her constitutional role
as president of the Senate by avoiding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s
recent address to Congress, which was attended by 128 Democrat members of Congress.“She refused to preside over the joint session, her only constitutional duty
as president of the Senate, she refused to have a meeting in public with
[Netanyahu, although she did meet with him in private],
and she came out and again blamed Israel for the civilian casualties in Gaza,
only emboldening Iran and Iranian-backed terrorists,”[Senator Tom] Cotton remarked. “And what did you have two days later?
Hezbollah, another Iranian-backed terrorist [organization]
shot rockets to Israel and blew up children playing ball at a playground.”Reiterating his criticism, Cotton declared that
“Kamala Harris is naive, and she’s not prepared to be the commander in chief.”While acknowledging that [Kamala] Harris had affirmed Israel’s
right to defend itself, Cotton argued that she undermined
this position by immediately adding conditions. “And what comes after the ‘but’ with Kamala Harris is always implying
that Israel is responsible for all the civilian suffering in Gaza,
not Hamas, that Israel is the one being provocative when
it’s waging a defensive war after the October 7 [2023] atrocity
and that Israel is the one that should pull in its horns,
as opposed to supporting Israel and standing strong against Iran
and Iranian-backed terrorist throughout the region,” Cotton concluded.SOURCE: article titled: “Senator Cotton: Harris ‘Naive’ on Iran,

The grumbling that Kamala Harris is avoiding reporters like the plague
led to a headline on Fox News that demanded:
“Liberal media minions need to do their jobs.”Ah, but they ARE doing their jobs. Their assignment, as they see it,
is to stop Donald Trump from becoming president, and no effort is being spared.If they had another goal, they would be furious as [Kamala] Harris
ignores them and their questions. But meekly accepting
her cold shoulder is all part of a dishonest day’s work.They will do whatever it takes to elect her.
All of which means Trump shouldn’t hold his breath waiting
for [Kamala] Harris to be exposed during a tough round of interviews.He may be right, as he said Thursday, that “she can’t do a news conference.”
He said that during a long question-and-answer session he held to draw a contrast with her.But he, too, misses the larger point: [Kamala] Harris could do an endless loop
of interviews and press conferences and it probably wouldn’t matter.She will choose friendly outlets where Democrats with
press passes will throw her big juicy softballs [easy questions].
If she swings wildly and misses, they will declare it a home run [a great success].If she dishes up one of her zany word salads, she will
be deemed a genius beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals.
And her annoying cackle will be proclaimed endearing.FIXED ON THE PRIZE:
America is experiencing a remarkable series of events,
featuring the shooting of the Republican candidate
by a would-be assassin and the pressured removal
of the Democratic president from his re-election campaign,
yet the media hasn’t blinked.They remain fixed on the prize of making certain
Trump doesn’t get back to the Oval Office.The mission includes turning away from the attempt to assassinate him.
You don’t have to be a historian to marvel at how little interest there is
about the background and motivation of the 20-year-old shooter, Thomas Crooks.Nor is there much detail about an Iranian plot to assassinate Trump
that, we recently learned, had been broken up by the FBI
just the day before the Pennsylvania shooting.Crooks reportedly had three foreign email accounts
but we are assured by anonymous “official” sources
speaking to leftist outlets there is no connection between the two plots.PBS, a reliable indicator of the radical mindset, put it this way:
“US officials acknowledged last month that a threat on
Donald Trump’s life from Iran prompted additional security
in the days before a Pennsylvania rally in which
Trump was injured by a gunman’s bullet.
That July 13 shooting, carried out by a 20-year-old Pennsylvania man,
was unrelated to the Iran threat . . . a law enforcement official said.”So there was “additional security” in Pennsylvania,
but still Crooks was able to fire at Trump
from an open rooftop just 130 yards away?This, of course, is the same Secret Service that dropped
its probe into a bag of cocaine found at the Biden White House
because it couldn’t find the perp in two weeks.
The Keystone Kops were more diligent.If the assassination plots involved [President Joe] Biden or any Democrat,
the media would treat them as earth-shattering stories.Every rumor, speculation and tidbit of information would be
blasted out in breathtaking fashion about a national security crisis.UNFAIR PLAY:
Republicans would be lashed with harsh denunciations
about overheated political rhetoric and accused of sparking violence.But when Democrats and the media repeatedly declare Trump
a threat to democracy and then he narrowly avoids death,
and when a foreign power also assigns an agent to kill him,
the page is quickly turned.There is no outrage toward Iran, nor does the media express
any curiosity about why Iran wants to kill Trump but not Biden.The reason is obvious, but to spell it out
would be to expose Biden’s appeasement policies.
Recall that Trump droned Iran’s terror chief and put tough sanctions
on the mullahs’ oil, while Biden lifted the sanctions and keeps trying
to bribe Iran to rejoin the failed nuclear pact that Trump scuttled.Even after Iran loosed its terror proxies on Israel and the groups
killed three American service members in Jordan,
wounded others in Iraq and took Americans hostage in Israel,
Biden pulls his punches and demands Israel do the same.Then came Friday’s reports that Iran is using fake news sites
and other online activity to interfere in the fall election.Not until the third paragraph does the AP note that
“US officials have previously hinted that Iran
particularly opposes former President Donald Trump.”A more honest way to write the same story would be
to say upfront that Iran wants to help elect [Kamala] Harris.
That’s how it would be written, if Iran was trying to help elect Trump.Here’s another comparison: If JD Vance were accused of
“stolen valor” by his former military comrades, would
the media circle the wagons around him the way
they are protecting Tim Walz against the same charges?
The question answers itself.Sadly, even tragically, there is nothing new in the media jihad
against Trump. It started in 2016 and hasn’t stopped.The big outlets tried to drag Hillary Clinton over the finish line,
but couldn’t do it. So many newsrooms, so many tears.In 2020, they were happy to let Biden hide in his basement.
They knew then he was in decline, but believed it better
to have a decrepit Democrat in the White House than the evil Trump.During his tenure, Biden set a modern record for the fewest
press conferences and interviews. It should have been treated as a scandal,
but even as Biden ignored them, reporters ignored his cognitive decline.DIFFERENT STANDARDS:
When the president scolded the press for mild criticism,
they remained loyal to his re-election.He said publicly his son Hunter Biden did nothing wrong,
and they didn’t bother to note that it was improper for a president
to comment on a case pending before his Justice Department.He let it be known he wanted Trump prosecuted and thrown in jail,
which should have been met with thunderous outrage, but instead, crickets.Actually, it wasn’t crickets. There was a very loud applause
because that’s what the media wants, too.They stuck with Biden until it was clear he would lose,
then flipped on a dime and led the charge to replace him.They didn’t know who Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and
the megadonors would replace him with — and didn’t care.Any Democrat who increased the odds of beating Trump would do.
To judge from reports about Harris’ “joyful” campaign,
many in the media are giddy that she is generating
so much enthusiasm and, according to polls, is now beating Trump.That makes it extra delusional for anyone, including him,
to believe the press will jeopardize her chances
by holding the two candidates to the same standards.If Trump is going to win, he’ll have to do it the way he did it in 2016:
despite the media.SOURCE: article titled: “The liberal media will do anything

2024 July 26, www (dot) matzav (dot) comSQUARE_ROOTParticipantIsrael Kasnett wrote this in Jewish News Syndicate:
Israel today finds itself standing increasingly alone as the world
rejects its right to defend itself against genocidal enemies.And as the United States heads to elections in November,
Israelis are worried that Vice President and Democratic
presidential nominee Kamala Harris is demonstrating
less support for Israel and more sympathy
for Palestinians and their supporters.For instance, she [Kamala Harris] has consistently tried to tie Israel’s hands,
calling for the Jewish state to end its war against Hamas, and refused
to attend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress in July.According to Michael Rubin, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute,
an administration led by [Kamala] Harris
“is likely to be the most hostile U.S. administration to Israel”
since U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower’s first term in 1953.“Even if [Kamala] Harris is neutral on Israel, her progressive base
is out for blood and, specifically, Israeli blood,” he told JNS.As the Biden administration appeases Iran, the Islamic regime attacks Israel
directly and through proxies in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Gaza.Every time Israel went to war against Hamas in Gaza, in 2008-09,
2012, 2014 and 2021, the international community,
including the Obama administration, forced Israel to stop fighting.After the horrific October 7 [2023] massacre, Israel now aims
to destroy Hamas, and yet again, the international community,
including the Biden administration, is trying to save Hamas.Likewise, when Hezbollah launched an unprovoked war against Israel
in 2006, the international community forced a ceasefire after Israel attacked.Even before Israel assassinated Hezbollah leader and arch-terrorist
Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, the international community,
including the Biden administration,
was working hard to achieve a ceasefire to save Hezbollah.Israel is never allowed to win.
So when [Kamala] Harris was asked how she would broker a deal
to end the war between Israel and Hamas, she said she would
continue to work on a two-state solution “around the clock.”This is a major red flag. The Palestinians have made it clear
numerous times since 1947 that they are NOT interested
in a two-state solution and prefer to destroy Israel instead.What Harris means then is that she does not want Israel to achieve victory.
Instead, she wants to give Palestinians a state as a prize for
launching endless terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians
for decades instead of pursuing the establishment
of their own state through peaceful means…..SOURCE: article titled: “Harris admin would be ‘most hostile’

Nearly half of Jewish voters have felt at risk because of their religious identity
while living in the Empire State — while more than a third said that New York
is no longer a safe haven for their people, a shocking new poll reveals.The survey conducted for the pro-Israel New York Solidarity Network
found that 44% of the 1,200 Jewish voters in New York City and other counties
queried said they have felt unsafe, as did 67% of identifiable Orthodox Jews.More than a third — 35% — said they agreed with the statement:
“New York is no longer a safe haven for Jewish life and the Jewish people.”
Nearly 40% of the same voters said the US is no longer a safe haven for Jews.
The numbers are unsettling given that 1.5 million Jews live in New York state
— more than any single place on the globe outside of Israel, the poll takers said.“That more than a third of registered New York Jewish voters believe New York
is no longer a safe haven for Jews should be a five-alarm fire for state and local elected officials,”
Sara Forman, executive director of the New York Solidarity Network and Treasurer of Solidarity PAC,
said in a statement to The Post Wednesday.It comes as New York has been hit by a wave of antisemitic hate crimes
since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel and the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.The hate has spilled onto college campuses, where some Jewish students
have been left cowering in fear due to anti-Israel protests and antisemitic incidents
— including at Cooper Union and at Columbia University,
where vandals occupied an academic building.Many of the masked hoodlums escaped prosecution, and a campaign
is now underway to urge Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state legislature
to restore a mask ban at public protests to prevent harassers
and bigots from hiding their identify and getting away with crimes.Half of those surveyed by the New York Solidarity Network said
they don’t believe New York’s college campuses will do enough
to make Jewish students feel safe in the upcoming fall semester,
while 42% said they did.Meanwhile, 86% of respondents said they believe that antisemitism
is a serious problem, and 56% have witnessed anti-Jewish hatred
on social media and online forums — including 72% of those under the age of 30.Antisemitic hate crimes are up 45% in 2024, according to NYPD data
obtained by The Post in April — with many of the emboldened attacks
captured on shocking video.For instance, the Brooklyn Museum’s director and a number of its
Jewish board members last month were targeted by antisemitic vandals
who tossed red paint and scrawled “blood on your hands” across their homes.An inverted red triangle was sprayed on director Anne Pasternak’s
co-op apartment building — a symbol used in the past by Hamas
to identify Israeli military targets and, more recently,
has been spotted at anti-Israel tent encampment protests
that plagued university campuses across the country.An anti-Jewish harasser from Staten Island was recently arrested
for allegedly storming a Big Apple subway car and demanded
that “Zionists” raise their hands.A Jewish father of five in Brooklyn was beaten in front of his own home
last December during the first night of Hanukkah as his attacker
spewed antisemitic vitriol — just two days before another man
was robbed of his $2,500 traditional Jewish headpiece in the borough.The virulent Jew hatred has exploded amid the Hamas-Israel war in Gaza,
initiated by the terror militia’s sneak attack on the Jewish State.“Jews have been warning leadership for months, as masked mobs
teeming with hatred for Jews crowded outside hospitals and synagogues,
defaced the homes of Jewish museum board members, intimidated Jews
on the subway and in other public spaces, vandalized Jewish-owned business,
overran colleges to ‘occupy’ campuses— all while far-left
politicians celebrated this behavior as ‘peaceful’ protest,” Forman said.“If we do not feel safe here, with the largest Jewish community outside of Israel,
how can we feel safe anywhere?” Forman added.“Community leaders, non-Jewish allies, and elected officials on
the state and local level must send a decisive message to the public,
and to those elected officials who condone this behavior,
that anti-Jewish hatred has no place in New York, without exception or apology.”The New York Solidarity Network survey conducted by GQR Insights
and Action questioned 1,200 registered Jewish voters from May 9-22,
and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.Live phone interviews made up 46% of respondents,
while text-to-web surveys made up the other 54%.Voters from high density Jewish zip codes were interviewed in New York City
and select counties: Nassau, Suffolk, Albany, Broome, Erie, Monroe,
Oneida, Onondaga, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Tompkins, Ulster and Westchester.SOURCE: article titled: “Nearly half of Jewish voters believe NY

The media isn’t going to tell you this. The Hamas-linked Council
on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) describes itself as
“America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization.”In that guise, and as it has championed numerous far-left causes,
it has become a respected member of the leftist establishment,
with numerous ignorant and self-serving politicians lavishing
praise on this unsavory gang in hopes of gaining Muslim votes.Among them has been, not surprisingly, Kamala Harris.
This has been known for years, but no one has cared.
Back in October 2020, the Washington Free Beacon reported that
“as California’s attorney general and then as U.S. senator,
[Kamala] Harris forged a relationship with the Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR), one of the nation’s top anti-Israel groups
and advocates for boycotts of the Jewish state.”After the Hamas massacres of October 7, 2023, this matters more than ever.
CAIR, the Free Beacon added, “advised [Kamala] Harris on
community issues during her time in California politics,
and she later offered the group her ‘gratitude and admiration’
in a 2018 personal letter to the group.”
Specifically, “Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR’s
Los Angeles office, praised Harris in 2015 for including
the group in an interfaith meeting with law enforcement officials.[Kamala] Harris, he said, ‘exemplified leadership’ by
vowing to tackle Islamophobia at a time when
the state’s Jewish institutions were facing threats.”That was bad enough, since “Islamophobia” is a propaganda
weapon designed to intimidate people that it is wrong —
somehow “bigoted” — to oppose jihad violence
and Sharia oppression of women.Even worse, long before he praised Kamala Harris,
Hussam Ayloush has repeatedly refused to denounce
Hamas and Hizballah [Hezbollah] as terrorist groups.In 2017, with Donald Trump in the White House,
Ayloush called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.Yet the following year, [Kamala] Harris wrote to CAIR:
“Please accept my gratitude and admiration
for your tireless work to promote peace,
justice, and mutual understanding.”Even that was not all. “As California’s top cop,” the Free Beacon noted,
“Harris partnered with local CAIR officials and relied on them
to advise her about community matters. In 2015, for instance,
[Kamala] Harris hosted CAIR for an interfaith community event
following a deadly terrorist attack in San Bernardino.
In 2016, as Harris ran for the Senate, CAIR’s
political action committee donated $1,750 to boost her campaign.”That may not be much in the larger scheme of things,
but imagine the outcry if Donald Trump had taken a small fraction
of that amount from a group linked to the Ku Klux Klan.Harris’ ties to CAIR take on a new urgency now that she is
a presidential candidate, and now that this self-proclaimed
“civil rights organization” is more forthright
than it used to be about where it really stands:CAIR’s cofounder and longtime executive director Nihad Awad
infamously said that he was “happy” about Hamas’
October 7 [2023] jihad massacre of 1,200 Israelis.In April 2024, Awad eulogized a Muslim Brotherhood cleric,
Sheikh Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, who had ties to al-Qaeda as well as Hamas:“The Islamic nation has lost one of its biggest emblems and men
with the passing of Sheikh Alam and worker Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani
after he dedicated his life to the service of the Quran
and the manifestation of its miracles that never cease.
He remained tall and firm in the face of challenges, tribulations,
pressure, and rankings until he met the Almighty Allah.
Our condolences to his family, Yemen, and our nation.
We ask Allah, the Merciful, the Merciful and the Forgiving,
to have mercy on him, forgive him and reward him with the best of rewards.”Al-Zindani was on the UN Security Council’s list of specially designated terrorists.
If Trump had similar ties to any of the groups that the leftist establishment
claims are made up of “right-wing extremists,” including a group that
opposes CAIR and jihad terror and got added to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s
“hate group” list for doing so, the media outcry would be shrill and intense.Trump would be hounded everywhere
until he disavowed the group and returned its donation.No one, however, is asking Harris about CAIR.
That’s because Harris, CAIR, and the media are all part of the same leftist establishment.Surely you don’t expect them to police themselves, do you?
Politicians can associate freely with groups that are on
the left’s approved list, and be secure in
the knowledge that there will be no accountability.Responsibility to the American people?

The anti-Trump press is ready to deify her,
Hollywood donors are poised to fill her coffers,
and the left is going all out to maintain their power.Only one problem: [Kamala] Harris is utterly unqualified for the job.
Harris was one of the worst vice presidents in history,
an abject failure at virtually every task except for casting tie-breaker
voters for big spending bills that caused the inflation we’re all suffering through.Instead, she fixed it for the left — letting millions of unauthorized immigrants (*)
pour into this country and then backing free healthcare for them all.She has no foreign-policy experience, with a background as a
California “prosecutor” and less than a full term in the US Senate.She has not been tested on the national stage in any serious way
and got zero votes as a failed presidential candidate.
She is turning her back on our democratic ally Israel,
even as it faces attacks on three sides from
Iranian proxies who are holding Americans hostage.Her stance only gives comfort to Hamas and
signals the continuation of weak-kneed pro-Iran policies.This week, in her first speech as a 2024 candidate,
she promised massive new spending programs.
As a senator, she backed the full $10 trillion Green New Deal.So a vote for [Kamala] Harris is a vote for spending that could
kick off another round of inflation, continued open borders
costing us billions, higher energy prices and electric vehicle mandates.There isn’t a left-wing idea out there that [Kamala] Harris
has not supported, from the transgender agenda
to banning private health insurance altogether.Her idea of freedom is joining a union,
not fostering American individualism and innovation.
Her idea of the future is expanded
government handouts for virtually everything.
Despite [Kamala] Harris’ trademark cackle,
her election would be no laughing matter.All of the flaws and mistakes of the Biden-Harris administration
will be magnified if the veep [Vice President] makes it to the Oval Office.
She is nothing but the Great Pretender, the sequel.Donald Trump has had to survive false accusations of racism,
fines meant to bankrupt him, partisan lawsuits in an attempt to jail him,
an assassin’s bullet — and now even a second
presidential opponent, after demolishing his first one.Don’t be fooled by all the [Kamala] Harris hype:
She is nothing but a new mask for the left,
a failed vice president who in nearly four years on the job
never did anything to distinguish herself.As an elected Democratic official for 25 years, I could not
in good conscience vote for Kamala Harris.
I would have to vote for Donald Trump.(*) NOTE: Eleven million [11,000,000] (or more) illegal aliens.

Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president,
will be conspicuously absent from her seat, as U.S. vice president,
behind Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when
the latter addresses a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.“It is unconscionable to see Vice President Kamala Harris shirk her
duties as president of the Senate and boycott this historic event,”
stated Victoria Coates, vice president of the Cullom Davis Institute
for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation.“If we can’t stand with Israel now, when can we?” Coates’s colleague
Robert Greenway, director of Heritage’s Allison Center for National Security, agreed.“Iran and its terrorist proxies look to eliminate the State of Israel,
and the United States cannot turn a blind eye to the situation
as we will be the next in their crosshairs,” Greenway stated.“Vice President Kamala Harris’s refusal to preside over the joint
session of Congress further isolates our closest ally in the region.”
“It encourages Israel’s enemies, who also have American blood
on their hands and our hostages in their custody,” he added.
“We must be better.”SOURCE: article titled: “Unconscionable’ Kamala Harris opting
