Israel Delays Ground Invasion Because
US Is Unprepared to Defend Itself

Oh FFS. The story about why Israel has yet to make a ground invasion of Gaza is becoming clear, and it is yet another embarrassment for the United States under Joe Biden. Israel has been prepared to enter Gaza to eliminate Hamas, but the ground invasion keeps getting delayed. The reason why? The US is unprepared to defend US military installations in the area. This is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. However, I am not sure that the Biden Administration isn’t just pressuring Israel to delay for other reasons as well, given their neverending expressions of concern for Gaza. Israel has agreed, for now, to a request from the U.S.

This is Biden's excuse to get them to delay, he is scared crapless, that he will have to honor his proffession of standing with Israel and the enemy knows this and will take advantage. FJB MAGA

Our petroleum reserves are at their lowest ever. We’ve sent a great portion of our weapons to Zelensky. And all this is thanks to Biden. But I believe there are more nefarious reasons for this.

What a sad state of affairs. Look no further than Joe Biden and his cabal of anti-American zealots for the reason why. Biden is about to get a lot of Americans killed all because he was allowed to steal the 2020 election. Every bad thing that has recently befallen this country can be traced back to that time. Good men did nothing and evil triumphed.

Calling Equal Opportunity Gen. Austin, and calling recently retired thoroughly modern Milley . . . what is the response to this situation? Our troops apparently not ready to defend their installations in the area, but they sure know the "proper" pronouns, I'm sure.

I think the IDF is holding back on ground campaign because they are doing quite well with air strikes and counter battery fires. Every tunnel entrance they seal by collapsing a building on it is one less they have to deal with later and which cannot be used as a supply point and/or cover in the meantime.

My gut tells me that The HairSniffer's advisors, who are in the pay of Iran, are urging the delay for two reasons: 1) Let a few media cycles intervene so that the great mass of American people forget how horrific the Hamas murders were, and 2) give the Thugs more time to prepare their defenses, so that more Israeli -and possibly American- soldiers get killed if and when Israel does invade.

It is completely believable that our woke, understaffed, low on ammunition military is not prepared to defend our bases. The worst part is that our enemies know this, hence the attacks.

I think its some of this. But I also think Biden is trying to help hamas get resupplied because Biden insists on allowing 'humanitarian aid' into Gaza from the south. All those supplies, fuel, medicine, food......bullets and bombs...will go to hamas and not to the civilians. At any rate, hamas is hiding in their tunnels and Israel is trying to hold them there until they cant muster much more 'fight' above ground. Then Israel can cut them off underground and bury them there. Biden needs to stay out of it. but he wont.

The U.S. military conducted strikes against two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iranian-backed groups in retaliation for recent attacks against U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria. "The United States does not seek conflict and has no intention nor desire to engage in further hostilities, but these Iranian-backed attacks against U.S. forces are unacceptable and must stop," Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement Thursday night. Iranian-backed groups have targeted U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria with a mix of drones and rockets at least 16 times since Oct. 17, according to the Pentagon. The most recent attack took place Thursday in Erbil, Iraq,
Israeli troops briefly raid northern Gaza

RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli troops and tanks briefly raided northern Gaza overnight, the military said Thursday, engaging with Hamas fighters and targeting anti-tank weapons in order to “prepare the battlefield” before an expected ground invasion. The third Israeli raid since the war began came after more than two weeks of devastating airstrikes that have left thousands dead, and more than 1 million displaced from their homes, in the small, densely-populated territory. Arab leaders made a joint plea Thursday for a cease-fire to end civilian suffering and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, where Israel has imposed a suffocating siege ever since Hamas’ rampage and hostage-taking in southern Israel ignited the war.

Ever since the terrorist murderers in Hamas attacked Israel almost three weeks ago, we’ve been witnessing the disgusting spectacle of American college students very vocally condemning Israel, some of which the esteemed VodkaPundit recently chronicled. For being attacked. Yes, parents, this is what a small fortune gets you when you send your kids off to have their minds polluted by the leftist filth that controls Academia. These kids didn’t come out of the womb being virulently anti-Semitic, they had to be conditioned. To be sure, the American public education indoctrination mill helped get them there, but it’s the lunatics in Academia’s ivory towers who are responsible for the finished product.

This is both sad and hilarious. Sad because this piece by Jake Sullivan explains the “Biden Doctrine” in foreign policy, and hilarious because its publication demonstrates just how badly run this administration is. Sullivan is Biden’s National Security Advisor, and in that role, he has presided along with Biden over some of the worst foreign policy blunders in a generation. That is a high bar, too. Think Obama and Ukraine, Hillary and Obama in Libya, the “Arab Spring” debacles. Only George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq could be said to be worse than Biden’s management of foreign policy. It has been Obama on steroids.

The embarrassing impasse in the House of Representatives has finally ended, as Louisiana’s Mike Johnson has been elected Speaker. So, who is Mike Johnson, and why was he finally able to succeed where several more notable House members failed? I suspect that the answer has more to do with desperation than anything else. The Republican Party was made to look ridiculous, not so much by the party’s divisions as by the utter lack of party loyalty and discipline that was revealed by one failed vote after another. Most likely, Republicans coalesced behind Johnson–a little-known commodity, who has never been a committee chairman–to stop the bleeding.

We’ve seen this sort of thing happen before. Just a couple years ago there was a wave of anti-Semitic attacks with notable incidents in New York City and Los Angeles. Now it seems to be happening again. Last night a deranged man broke into a Jewish family’s home in Studio City, CA and threatened to kill them. The couple’s four children were home at the time. The break-in happened around 5:20 a.m. in the 3000 block of Laurel Canyon Boulevard, according to Los Angeles Police. The victim, who is nine months pregnant, told KTLA’s Ellina Abovian that the intruder first kicked in the door to their master bedroom.

It is becoming even more difficult to believe Iran's claims that it was not involved in Hamas' attack against Israel. A new Wall Street Journal report has surfaced further highlighting Iran’s role in the planning and execution of the terrorist organizations’ surprise attack against southern Israel on October 7, which started the current war in the Middle East. The report suggests that Hamas fighters, along with operatives from other terrorist groups, received “specialized” combat training in Iran just weeks before the assault. This revelation shatters any lingering doubts about Iran’s role in bringing about the attack, which killed over 1,000 Israelis, many of whom were noncombatants.

After Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) withdrew from the race for House Speaker mere hours after being nominated by the House GOP, Republicans had to scramble to pick a replacement. And so they did. GOP Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson (R-La.) won the latest round of secret ballot voting in the GOP caucus, and, unlike previous nominees Reps. Steve Scalise (R-La.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and Emmer, there is overwhelming optimism that the GOP has finally found a speaker-designee whom the party can all rally behind and get elected as speaker.

He has empowered America’s moneyed elite, and they have empowered him. Biden’s 2020 campaign was the first to raise over $1 billion. Democrats raised more $600 million more in “dark money” than Republicans in 2020. Look for those numbers to explode even higher in 2024.
