Biden Accidentally Pitches a Trump-Led
United States as He Flounders on '60 Minutes'
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 10/18/2023 9:40:05 PM
When President Joe Biden got a chance to argue his re-election case Sunday night, he made the best argument for why he should never have been elected in the first place. Because apparently, his goal for a second term is to make the country as good as it was when Donald Trump was in the White House. That was the unspoken message from the closing moments of Biden’s “60 Minutes” interview broadcast that aired Sunday night — but it came through loud and clear. In the interview — in which the soft-spoken Scott Pelley tossed softballs to the soft-headed president, judging by the transcript —

Travis King charged by the Army with desertion

for defecting to North Korea — and child porn 3 replies
The US Army has charged defector Travis King with several offenses including desertion for sprinting into North Korea in July — as well as the solicitation of child pornography and other crimes dating back to at least last year.
The wide-ranging case against King, who spent over two months in the custody of North Korean law enforcement, includes eight distinct charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, according to court records obtained by Reuters.
The Army claims the private had the intention of abandoning his military duties permanently when he ditched his South Korean post by running across the demilitarized border into the totalitarian country.
California’s 33-year-old law banning assault weapons is unconstitutional, violating the right to bear arms, a federal judge declared Thursday.
US District Judge Roger Benitez pointed to the Second Amendment’s right to “keep and bear arms” and the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, which established that gun restriction measures must be “consistent with this nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation” in ruling against California’s assault weapons ban.
“Like the Bowie Knife which was commonly carried by citizens and soldiers in the 1800s, ‘assault weapons’ are dangerous, but useful,” Benitez wrote in his 79-page decision.
Luck is the residue of design, they say. Might it also be the residue of frightening and confusing foreign adversaries?
Donald Trump’s relatively crisis-free presidency in foreign affairs has created a sense, perhaps an accurate one, that he cowed enemies into not challenging the United States.
As Sen. Tom Cotton has pointed out, Kabul didn’t collapse on Trump’s watch, Russia didn’t invade Ukraine, and Hamas didn’t launch a historic terror attack on Israel.
Now this may have just been good fortune. Four years isn’t a large sample size.
But the argument that adversaries feared him and therefore acted with a measure of restraint is quite intuitive.
There are some buildings where the penthouse floors look spectacular. But the foundations and the lower floors are rotten.
It feels like that at the moment when looking at the US-Israel relationship.
At the top floors all looks good, clean and marble-covered.
To his credit President Biden gave a strong statement not so long after Israelis were massacred in their hundreds.
And this week he showed up in Israel to show his support as the country prepares its response to Hamas.
At the top of the Republican and Democrat parties similar sentiments exist. You might easily think that all is well with the American foundations.
But it isn’t. There is rot inside the building.
In my opinion, one of the greatest modern directors in the film industry is without a doubt Quentin Tarantino. Nobody, and I mean nobody, knows how to write dialogue like this guy does. The only other writer who could, Elmore Leonard, is no longer with us. Tarantino wrote and directed “Pulp Fiction,” “Reservoir Dogs,” “Inglorious B*****ds,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and the list goes on.
And if that wasn’t enough to immediately earn the guy a stack of cool points, he goes and pays a visit to a military base located in Israel to “boost morale” among troops in their battle against the evil terrorists in Hamas.
On Monday, October 16, Leonard Cure was shot by a white cop during a traffic stop. Now there are calls for proof that the police officer was in fear of his own life, thus justifying the use of deadly force. “The family is not convinced that you’re going to see that,” said Ben Crump, the civil rights attorney representing Cure’s family.
The Camden County, Ga., Sheriff’s Office has released both body and dash camera footage. I’m wondering if they’ve seen it because there is so much evidence that Staff Sergeant Buck Aldridge tried literally every tool in his belt before using his firearm.
"Can you talk about the impact of meeting survivors and the first responders?” a reporter asked.
“That’s all personal. Look, I — I spent an hour and a half, about, with 17 or 18 before — I spent with them and — I don’t know how to say this,” he before slowly trying to piece together a response that made some sense and failing.
“Virtually every… mass shooting… every… circumstance where… a large number of people have been victimized and lost… I’ve spoken with them,” Biden continued. “I learned a long time ago, which you’ve all learned in your life as well… when someone is going through something…

Harvard's Arab Alumni Association has appealed for donations to help students' mental health after they were subjected to 'relentless bullying and intimidation' for blaming Israel for the Hamas attacks of October 7.
The Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee issued a letter on October 7, co-signed by 33 other Harvard student organizations, stating: 'We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.'
The students leading the 33 organizations and the Solidarity Committee were named and faced calls to be blacklisted from future employment. They included the son of British businesswoman Jo Malone.
It never fails that when a conservative public figure, candidate, or elected official holds a presser or sits down for an interview, inevitably they get the "some people say" question from so-called reporters looking for a left-wing angle/narrative to push.
It's gotcha journalism pure and simple, designed to trap the conservative no matter how they answer.
Though Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is one Republican leader here in the United States who is savvy to the media trick and knows how to respond accordingly, unfortunately, he's one of only a few who doesn't let himself fall into these predictable traps.
Four inmates have escaped from a Georgia jail, authorities said, including one man who has been accused of murder.
The inmates escaped from the Bibb County Detention Center early Monday morning through a damaged day room window and a cut fence, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. The escape occurred around 3:00 a.m., with a blue Dodge Challenger pulling up outside the jail and helping the inmates flee.
The escaped inmates include 52-year-old Joey Fournier, a white male with gray hair and blue eyes, who was being held at the detention center for alleged murder.

House Democrat leaders view House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), the leading candidate for Speaker of the House, as an “insurrectionist” and an “extremist extraordinaire.”
“House Republicans have selected as their nominee to be the Speaker of the people’s House the chairman of the chaos caucus, a defender in a dangerous way of dysfunction, and an extremist extraordinaire,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, (D-NY) said on Friday.
“His focus has been on peddling lies and conspiracy theories and driving division amongst the American people,” the House Democrat leader added.
On Friday, Jordan became the House Republican nominee for Speaker of the House,

As the Israel-Hamas War rages and the crisis in Gaza deepens, Taher Herzallah said he has exchanged frantic messages on social media with his family members who are trapped in Gaza. Their description of the situation is grim. He said they’ve told him they have no food, electricity, water or fuel. (Snip) Herzallah said his concerns for his family thousands of miles away have also been compounded by a growing fear for the safety of his wife and children here in the US, as reports of attacks against people perceived to be Muslim or Palestinian surface across the country.
Former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said it is an absolute mess behind the scenes on Capitol Hill as House Republicans try to elect a new speaker, saying he “cannot overstate how angry some Republican members are.”[Snip] It is not Jim Jordan. It is the fact that Kevin McCarthy was the victim of a drive-by shooting orchestrated by a small group of people and Stevie Scalise got one crack at it.[Snip] Gowdy was likely referring to the strong-arm tactics Jordan’s supporters have been reportedly using while lobbying on his behalf.
Harvard pro-Palestinian groups held a 'die-in' on Wednesday, just over a week after the deadly terrorist attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 people in Israel.
The protests come just 12 days after the attack and a letter backed by 33 Harvard student groups that blamed Israel for the attack by Hamas terrorists sparked national outrage.
The Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee and Harvard Graduate Students for Palestine organized Wednesday's march from Harvard's main campus in Cambridge to its business school in Boston.
Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell pleaded guilty Thursday morning in the Georgia election interference case on the eve of her trial alongside co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro.
Powell entered her guilty plea in Fulton County Superior Court, part of a deal reached with prosecutors, in which she pled guilty to six misdemeanor counts. In her plea, Powell agreed to serve six years of probation and pay a $6,000 fine and $2,700 in restitution to the state of Georgia. She also agreed to submit an apology letter to the citizens of Georgia and to testify at related court proceedings.
Powell was one of 19 defendants
Citi has fired one of its personal bankers after she defended Hitler and the holocaust in a vile anti-Semitic post following the Hamas terror attacks.
CUNY Brooklyn College graduate Nozima Husainova, 25, sparked outrage with the remark which she posted on her now-deleted Instagram page and she's since lost her job, the bank confirmed Thursday.
Responding to a post about the Gaza hospital bombing that Israel has denied, she wrote: 'No wonder why Hitler wanted to get rid of them all,' complete with a smiley face emoji.

The bogus victimhood is bottomless. Because grievance is the coin of their realm, and because many of them are incapable of arguing any other way, it should be unsurprising to see figures like Rashida Tlaib and various other Hamas apologists and anti-Semites claim that somehow they are the ones who've been wronged over the last two weeks. In a development that truly defies parody, Harvard students who signed an egregious, terrorism-justifying statement are now whining about the "bullying" they've experienced over the moral disgrace to which they signed their names. They're even soliciting financial donations to (supposedly) finance mental health support in the face of this hardship.
A number of Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are reportedly refusing to support Rep. Jim Jordan in his bid to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker, not because of personal opposition to Jordan but rather in protest of Matt Gaetz’s efforts to oust the previous speaker. “I have been told by a good number of people that their objection isn’t personal to Jim, it is that voting in Jordan is perceived to be rewarding Matt Gaetz and the rest of the eight,” Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs said.
While in Israel on Wednesday, Joe Biden met with families, first responders and other medical staff affected by the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.
One doctor, who said she emigrated to Israel from New York eight years ago, told Biden how she and Israelis treat Palestinian patients the same as they treat Israelis.
Biden responded by telling her the ‘my son Beau was killed in Iraq’ lie. Biden followed up by leaning in and wagging his finger in the doctor’s face and lecturing her on the importance of nurses.
Videos show Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) riling up a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters outside of the Capitol on Wednesday by spreading the false claim from Hamas terrorists that an Israeli airstrike killed 500 Palestinian civilians at a hospital in Gaza.
“We cannot continue to watch people think it’s okay to bomb a hospital with children,” she told the crowd through tears. “…And so I’m telling you right now, President Biden, not all America is with you on this one, and you need to wake up and understand that.”“We are literally watching people commit genocide and killing a vast majority just like this, and we
Representative Jim Jordan has expressed his anticipation for another vote on the Speaker of the House position, according to new reports. This comes amidst growing political tensions and the call to expand the powers of Speaker Pro-Tempore Patrick McHenry in a bid to “get on with the business of the American people.”
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier Thursday that Rep. Jim Jordan withdrew from the Speaker’s race today after 22 RINOs derailed his vote for Speaker of the US House of Representatives.
Jordan was clearly the grassroots favorite, but the GOPe successfully blocked his attempt to lead the Republican Party.
What is going on with Joe Biden’s face?
President Joe Biden appeared to grow a mushy butt chin while making remarks to the press at Ramstein Air Base in Germany following his trip to Israel. (X Video) Say what you want about Joe Biden, but he’s normally a pretty thin fellow. But in this video, his typically tight jawline appears to have melted into half-a-day-old ice cream. (X Photos) It’s possible a busy trip to the Middle East and lack of sleep are affecting our 80-year-old president’s physical appearance.
But that doesn’t make his Wicked Witch of the West-like transformation any less jarring.
America has begun preparing for a major attack on the nation's capital - by simulating incoming missiles and hijacked airplanes. US defense contractor Northrop Grumman announced the successful test of its Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) this month. (Photo) The Beltway-area around Washington DC, known by defense personnel as the 'National Capital Region,' was successfully defended against 'simulated cruise missiles and 'compromised aircraft,' the company said. The tests come amid rising tensions worldwide, with the US amassing a war machine in the MidEast in a clear message to Iran to stay on the sidelines as Israel prepares to launch a ground invasion into Gaza.
