Senator Tom Cotton strongly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday, labeling her as both “naive” about Tehran and lenient toward Hamas. The Republican senator from Arkansas, speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” condemned the Democrat presidential candidate’s stance on Israel following the October 7 attack by Hamas, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,200 Israelis and the abduction of around 250 others to Gaza. Cotton argued that Harris’s actions reveal her lack of readiness to lead the nation as commander in chief.

Cotton, who is a member of the Senate Intelligence, Armed Services, and Judiciary Committees, accused Harris of blindly accepting Hamas’ reports regarding the number of casualties in Gaza, despite these figures being provided by the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry, 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, 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,”
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.

That is the key to understand everything he says and does.”

==============================================

MY RESPONSE:

Even if what you said is 100% true, how does that make Donald Trump
any different than: Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama,
Chuck Schumer, and all the elected officials of the Democratic Party?

Even if what you said is 100% true, how does that make Donald Trump
any different than the CEOs of America’s corporations and landlords?

Even if what you said is 100% true, how does that make Donald Trump
any different than the average American?

UJM, I never heard that before, but it could still be true.

UJM, If you want us to accept what you just said,
then you must give us the exact source where it is located.

Until then, you might be interested in reading these two
definitions of Sinat Chinam, that I researched a long time ago:

==========================================

Tehillim, chapter 69, verse 5:

“Greater than the numbers of hairs on my head,
are those who hate me without cause…”

Metsudath David on this verse explains:
people hated him [David], even though he never harmed any of them.

If I read this Metsudath David correctly, he seems to imply that
the definition of Sinat Chinam is hating someone who never harmed you.

==========================================

Rabbi Binny Freedman said:

The Talmud tells us that the second Temple was destroyed
through blind, wanton hatred, or sinat chinam. It is difficult
to understand how any hatred can ever be chinam,
which seems to mean “for no reason at all.”

The Netziv suggests that this wanton hatred refers to
disliking or even detesting someone because their views are different.

==========================================

If anyone has more definitions of Sinat Chinam,
with exact sources, then we are all eager to read them.

How quickly we Jews forget that President Donald Trump
was not merely pro-Israel; he was THE MOST
pro-Israel USA President of all time.

How quickly we Jews forget that President Donald Trump
was not merely pro-Jewish; he was THE MOST
pro-Jewish USA President of all time.

As USA President, Donald Trump was more pro-Israel
and more pro-Jewish than the majority of USA Jews!

In the next USA Presential election, THE MOST pro-Israel
USA President of all time, Donald Trump, will compete against
a person who wants to become the MOST anti-Israel President
OF ALL TIME, Kamala Harris.

Given that the MOST pro-Israel candidate OF ALL TIME is
competing against the MOST anti-Israel candidate OF ALL TIME,
you might think that American Jews would ALL vote for
the MOST pro-Israel candidate OF ALL TIME, and reject
the MOST anti-Israel candidate OF ALL TIME.

But no! No! No! No! A thousand times NO!
That would be too logical!! That would male too much sense!!

American Jews have become very distracted by countless other issues,
many of them of minor importance or even totally irrelevant.

Because of these numerous distractions, and the confusion they create,
a large percentage of American Jews will vote for
the MOST anti-Israel candidate OF ALL TIME, and reject
the MOST pro-Israel candidate OF ALL TIME.

This a super-massive mistake, especially when Israel
is under intense attack, not only militarily, but also from:
the international news media, the International Criminal Court,
and as always, the United Nations Organization, and many others.

Michael Goodwin of The New York Post said:

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 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 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: Harris could do an endless loop
of interviews and press conferences and it probably wouldn’t matter.

She’ll choose friendly outlets where Democrats with
press passes will throw her big juicy softballs.
If she swings wildly and misses, they’ll declare it a home run.

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 reelection 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 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 Dems 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 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.

“For that matter, would it matter if the yeshiva world existed?”

====================================

When commonsaychel said “yeshiva world”, does that mean
this web site, or does it mean real yeshivahs filled with talmidim?

for Yserbius123:

What matters is Donald Trump’s pro-Israel and pro-Jewish policies.
His personal life is not relevant, or is much-less relevant.

It is better to vote for a candidate with pro-Israel and pro-Jewish policies,
even if he is a massive philanderer, than it is to vote for a candidate with
anti-Israel and anti-Jewish policies, even if he was never a philanderer.

In other words, the policies of the candidates are much more important
than their personal lives, especially their polices towards Israel and Jews.

I am AMAZED by the large numbers of people who
do not understand this very simple and very important idea.

If you are smart enough to get through 12 years of yeshivah,
then you should be smart enough to understand this concept.

QUESTION: “Should Jews Go on Vacation while Israel is at War?”

===========================================

If we want to discuss this question correctly,
then we must recognize 3 different categories:

[1] Category 1 is those who live in Eretz Yisrael, and suffer because of the war.

[2] Category 2 is those who live in the exile [galut], but suffer from serious troubles.

[3] Category 3 is those who live in the exile [galut], in comfort and prosperity.

Which of the 3 categories does the original question refer to?

The answer for Category 1 is not the same as the answer for Category 2.
The answer for Category 2 is not the same as the answer for Category 3.

Robert Spencer of Frontpage Magazine said:

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,
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?
Come on, man! This ain’t 1776 anymore!

This recent article was written by Dr. Joseph Frager MD:

President Joe Biden is missed already. As bad as he was,
Vice President Kamala Harris is a hundred times worse.
One of her first official acts as nominee for president
was to make sure not to attend Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress,
even though she is the President of the Senate
and it is more than just customary for her to do so.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said,
“It is outrageous to me and inexcusable that …
Kamala Harris is boycotting Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech.”

Would Harris have declined to attend Winston Churchill’s
speech to Congress on December 26, 1941?

Israel is America’s only real and reliable ally in the Middle East.
It was brutally and savagely attacked on October 7 [2023].

It has been and continues to be bombarded by missiles from Hezbollah.
Twelve children were just killed in their latest bombing.
Iran attacked Israel with hundreds of missiles, drones and UAVs on April 13 [2024].

Israelis are deeply concerned that their very existence is at stake.
Britain felt the same way during World War II.
As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in his address,
Biden visited Israel soon after Oct. 7 to lend support because
he was aware of the gravity of the situation. It was a war against evil.

Winston Churchill devoted most of his speech to Congress
to ultimate victory over the Axis powers.
He quipped about his American-born mother,
“I cannot help reflecting that if my father had been American
and my mother British, instead of the other way round,
I might have got here on my own.
In that case, this would not have been
the first time you would have heard my voice.”

He went on to say, “We both of us have much to learn
in the cruel art of war. We have therefore,
without doubt, a time of tribulation before us.”

Churchill was warmly received on both sides of the aisle.
He understood war and its consequences.
No one tiptoed around the evil that the Axis powers
had unleashed. No one, including the “isolationists”
who opposed U.S. involvement in the war, boycotted the event.

Ironically, Netanyahu has addressed Congress four times
while Churchill did so only three times. Although Harris
might think that the situations are different, this is not an excuse.
Israel is facing a multi-front war and is preventing
that war from spreading to U.S. shores.

Harris has already encouraged campus protests against Israel
by stating that “They are showing exactly what
the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza.”

Her quick call for a ceasefire as early as March only hardened
the hearts of Hamas, prolonging the war. Harris’s moral equivalence
on the conflict will only make a hostage deal even more difficult.

As one Israeli official said after Netanyahu and Harris met,
“When our enemies see the U.S. and Israel are aligned
it increases the chances for a hostage deal and decreases
the chances for a regional escalation. When there is such daylight
it pushes the deal further away and brings a regional escalation closer.”

Thus, Harris has only made the situation worse.

Rocky’s original comment is 100% true and valid.

Reb Eliezer said: “Trump is narcissistic, immoral and a liar.”

MY RESPONSE:

How does that make him any worse than the average American politician?

Every accusation that you made against Donald Trump is also true for:
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck “the shmuck” Schumer, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama,
Bill and Hillary Clinton, and the entire Democratic Party.

Ari Knobler:

No offense intended, but most of the things you mentioned,
I never heard of before, over the past 40 years.

=======================================

“Yumptif” is very wrong; the correct pronunciation is Yom Tov or Yom Tob.
There is no “Peh” and no “Pheh” anywhere in Yom Tov or Yom Tob.
“Yumptif” is the pronunciation off illiterate Jews who do not read Hebrew.

=======================================

If you listen to people carefully, you will eventually notice
that they pronounce difference vowels the same way,
even within the same word.

If you listen to people carefully, you will eventually notice

During Thursday’s episode of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard
Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz commented on
Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democratic presidential candidate for 2024.

He stated that Harris “seemed to create a moral equivalence” and added,
“she was trying to appeal both to her left-wing, anti-Israel people and
to the pro-Israel people. You can’t do that by creating a false moral equivalence.”

[Alan] Dershowitz said, “Let’s remember that people are trying to make
a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel. Even the Vice President,
Kamala Harris, in her statement, seemed to create a moral equivalence
between the suffering of the Gazans and the people who were killed in Israel.

The difference is this:

The people who are suffering in Gaza are suffering as a result of Hamas.
Hamas is using them as human shields.
Hamas is the one who is taking their food away.
Hamas is the one who is firing rockets from mosques and schools.

So, there is no moral equivalence between Israel’s self-defense actions,
which are trying to minimize civilian deaths,
and Hamas’ attempts to increase civilian deaths.”

Dear HaKatan and Neturei Karta,

Before Eretz Yisrael was taken-over by “The Zionists”,
there were approximately three [3] yeshivahs in Eretz Yisrael.

After 76 years of Zionist rule in Eretz Yisrael,
there are many hundreds of yeshivahs in Eretz Yisrael,
maybe more than 1,000 yeshivahs in Eretz Yisrael.

Plus similar increases in the number of synagogues in Eretz Yisrael.

In secular year 1967, the stunning victory of “The Zionists”
against the Arabs caused an international Baal Teshuvah movement,
which continued for decades after 1967 CE.

The grandchildren of the year 1967 CE Baal Teshuvah movement
are both studying in many yeshivahs right now,
and teaching in many yeshivahs right now.

ALL food in the Israeli Army is KOSHER.

Chazal clearly taught that the Jewish People will not be redeemed
until they become united. By constantly attacking “The Zionists”,
you guarantee that the Jewish People will NEVER be united,
which means that the Jewish People will NEVER be redeemed.

Sincerely,
SQUARE_ROOT

The pasuk that you quoted in Hebrew is Isaiah, chapter 48, verse 22.

Our first step should be to read commentaries on Isaiah, chapter 48, verse 22.

Our second step should be to read the end of Nezikin,
where Chazal made heterim for Darcei Shalom with reshaim.

Our third step should be to read commentaries on the end of Nezikin,
where Chazal made heterim for Darcei Shalom with reshaim.

tractate Taanit, page 10B:

Yaakov [Avinu] said to his sons:

“Why do you make yourselves conspicuous?”

Do not allow yourselves to appear well-fed; especially before Eysav,
and especially before Yishmael, so they not become jealous of you.

===========================================

Kli Yakar commentary on Devarim, chapter 2, verse 3:

If an Israelite in exile enjoys some small success,
then he must hide it and conceal it completely from Eysav,
because they are more jealous of Israel than any other nation,
because according to their understanding, everything
[that Jews own] was stolen from them…

===========================================

Kav HaYashar, Chapter 18:

“Because of our many sins, the Gentiles have their eyes on Jewish wealth.

It is a very good idea to conceal your wealth from them.”

Bael Teshuva’s obviously unusual spelling and grammar cause me to suspect
that his messages in this Coffee Room are intended to be weird jokes,
in which we are supposed to laugh at Baalei Teshuvah,
because Baalei Teshuvah are generally not respected,
and they are safe to disparage and laugh at,
because of their low status in the world of Orthodox Judaism.

Additionally, I will not accept his quote from the Zohar,

Jonathan S. Tobin (editor-in-chief of Jewish News Syndicate) said:

“It was an open secret in Washington that even in an administration
that was staffed largely by Obama-era alumni, [Vice President Kamala] Harris
was the most openly sympathetic to the Palestinians and
the least inclined to stand with a Jewish state that had suffered
the worst mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.

From the start of the war that was launched by Hamas on Oct. 7 [2023],
she has been careful not to go too far in denouncing Israel’s effort
to defeat the terrorists in Gaza, but she [Kamala Harris] has also
repeatedly recycled Hamas propaganda about Palestinian casualties.

Though left-wing Jews are already mobilizing to loyally vouch for her,
her position is essentially one of moral equivalence between Israel
and the people who committed murder, rape, kidnapping and
wanton destruction on Oct. 7, while supporting
a genocidal terror group bent on Israel’s destruction.”

Let us start this discussion by defining our basic vocabulary:

TradWives are Traditional Wives, as opposed to Feminist wives.

TradWives are intentionally similar to the wives that existed in the USA from the 1930s to the 1950s.

TradWives are similar to the wives that existed in the USA before Feminism became dominant.

Those women who are Feminists have ridiculed and slandered the Traditional Wives.
Those women who are Feminists become very angry when they see the Traditional Wives.

Considering the recent assassination attempt against Donald Trump,
and Joe Biden’s recent debate disaster,
the article shown below now seems to be prophetic.

=================================================
The article shown below is titled:

“The Democrats’ last ditch plans” and was written by Alan Bergstein.
It was published on 2024 May 30 in www (dot) IsraelNationalNews (dot) com:

=================================================

I’ll readily admit that I try to regulate my schedule
to tune in to every speech Joe Biden delivers.

It’s not out of respect for the man or for the knowledge he imparts.
With notebook and pen in hand, at each event, I wait patiently for him to come up with
one of his patented fairy tales, start screaming or whispering at the camera,
or merely just close his eyes and amazingly nodding off, while standing upright.

Joe can do it all in the minimum amount of time his handlers allot him.
Too much, and he’ll wander off script, imitating Buddy Hackett.

In short, he’s a scam artist and out of it, but most of all and most sadly,
he’s the US president. And we Americans are stuck with him as long
as he’s still breathing, until Trump’s Inauguration Day,
January 20, 2025. May G-d have mercy on us ’til then…

But all the while, give Biden, this inane quisling, credit for his political survival savvy.
He’s the prime example of a dangerous dictator masquerading as a victim and patriot.
He showers us with self-pitying tales of his wife’s and kids’ disastrous automobile deaths
and falsifies his son Beau’s death as occurring during the Iraq war.

He not only proclaims what kinds of autos, washing machines
and light bulbs we must purchase but also woos the support
of enemy nations with billions of our taxpayer monies.

He also now oversees and controls our formerly independent
criminal justice system consisting of three letter agencies (FBI, CIA, DOJ, IRS),
to harass, prosecute and incriminate his political enemies.

In short, he is an All-American, suit and tie wearing version of a Castro,
Putin, Stalin or Hitler in our White House. Do not underestimate him.

To our amazement, he has tyrannically persecuted, prosecuted and incriminated
the main adversary to his continuing presidency, using our criminal justice system
to openly attempt to throttle Trump’s campaigning…and has failed.

Trump, forced to remain in Manhattan, where Democrat Soros-funded DA,
Alvin Bragg rules, has used his court “off time” to roust up enough NYC
and NJ supporters, to threaten the Democrat dominance in these states.

There seems to be no prosecutorial way to throttle Trump. Legally anyway.

So, with the election looming only five months away and with
Biden’s brain and body withering before our very eyes, with Trump supporters
coming out in droves and with the polls showing a possible
national crushing defeat for the Democrat Party from dog-catcher
up to the White House, what’s their next step, their way out?

*** I believe there might even be a plan, a last ditch one; a last resort,
to harm Trump physically. It’s standard procedure in totalitarian countries
to exterminate serious political opposition, and since
we’re currently bordering on one, why not here?

We’ve seen the viral hatred exhibited by the likes of
Dem leaders, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley,
Bernie Sanders and others of their side of the aisle.

And supporting their positions, the recent nationwide, well led, planned
and funded street and college riots, awakening us to understand that
they are very capable of untold violence to stay afloat and in command.
And anyone, who stands in their way must be erased, removed, eradicated.

We see how Biden and his party have already abandoned Israel,
throwing it to the wolves.

And didn’t the Obama/Biden team gift Iran with a nuclear arsenal?

Sad to say, we’ve come to a point in time when our democracy,
our acceptance of the rights of all to speak up and be heard
is tapering off and is in danger of becoming history.

Donald Trump is the lone one standing in the way of those who
are both on the payroll and in the camp of Iran and China.

His presidency would put an end to China’s growing industrial
and financial dominance over the world and he’d stop the Islamist Iran
from radiating its Koranic control of the Middle East and its energy deposits.

These next most crucial five months will tell the story. if Trump evades
a jail term in NYC and elsewhere, and if he gets free to campaign
and tell the story of the plans the Democrat Party has for this country,
he must be mindful that he is a target, a real one, for his opposition
and must keep a constant security team around him and his family.
May G-d watch over and protect him.

PERSONAL COMMENT FROM SQUARE_ROOT:

President Joe Biden’s old boss, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama,
used the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to attack
pro-Israel non-profit organizations.

He also did nothing to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

Amazingly, none of this stops Leftist Jews from admiring Obama
or supporting the Democratic Party. It does even slow them down a little.

The wicked Reverend Al Sharpton, who was personally responsible
for an anti-Jewish riot in Crown Heights, was an official partner
and ally of the Obama Administration.

Once again, none of this stops Leftist Jews from admiring Obama
or supporting the Democratic Party. It does even slow them down a little.

Why is nobody complaining about the amount of time spent on auctioning aliyahs?
