Biden Challenger Dean Phillips Touts Bipartisan
Cred, but Is a Solid Democrat Vote
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/27/2023 9:55:34 AM
U.S. Representative Dean Phillips, the relatively little-known Minnesota Democrat who has announced that he is challenging Joe Biden for president, has long portrayed himself as a moderate voice in Congress and a champion of bipartisanship. The three-term congressman drives around his district in the western suburbs of Minneapolis in a 1960s-era van he’s dubbed the “Government Repair Truck.” He holds moderated “Common Ground” conversations with Democratic and Republican voters, according to the Star Tribune. A member of the House Problem Solvers Caucus, Phillips, 54, touts his work with Chip Roy, the conservative Texas lawmaker, on relief for small-business owners

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the press on Saturday, marking his first presser since the deadly Hamas attack on October 7th. He was pressed on a variety of matters, including Israel's goals, Iran's involvement, and his culpability in the original security failure.
Regarding the concern that Israel lacks a clear objective in Gaza, Netanyahu made it clear that the goal is completely defeat Hamas. A common stalking point, including one recently repeated by former Barack Obama NSA Ben Rhode, has been that Israel lacks a clear objective. There isn't much evidence of that, though. Clearly

Realize Americans Are Not Buying Electric Vehicles 16 replies
After investing billions into a green energy agenda mimicking President Joe Biden’s federal rules, American automakers are quickly learning that Americans are not buying electric vehicles (EVs) at the rates they expected.
A comprehensive report in the Detroit Free Press details how the latest data reveals that while the Biden administration is pushing hard for automakers to turn out EVs, car companies are unable to sell the models.
Data from Edmunds.com shows that in September 2022, for example, EVs sat on dealership lots for just 21 days before they were sold. Today, EVs are sitting on dealership lots for 65 days.
Automakers, as Breitbart News reported, are well aware of the issue.
An estimated 100,000 anti-Israel protesters flooded onto the streets of London on Saturday, with some being filmed calling for an “Intifada” against the Jewish state.
The British capital was once again mobbed with pro-Palestine protesters, with numbers matching demonstrations held in London last week during which activists were filmed calling for “Jihad“.
On Saturday, protesters flying a flag saying “fight for revolution”, were filmed chanting: “From London to Gaza, we’ll have an Intifada”.
The term Intifada, which literally translates to “Stone Uprising”, refers to years of violent Palestinian riots against Israel starting in 1987 on the 20th anniversary
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have experienced the heaviest night of Israeli bombardment since the war with Hamas began three weeks ago.
Hamas-run authorities said hundreds of buildings were destroyed in air and artillery strikes, and that at least 377 people were killed in the past day.
Israel's military said its warplanes hit 150 underground targets, including tunnels and other infrastructure.
Tanks and troops also went into the Strip and clashed with Hamas fighters.
The military said some soldiers would remain in the field, as Israel's defence minister declared that the war had entered a "new phase".
Israel began its bombing campaign in Gaza in response to an unprecedented cross-border attack by hundreds of Hamas
One of the few specific requests I publicly posted for Mike Johnson as his vote to be the new Speaker was approaching was for him to commit to separating the three foreign aid requests that Joe Biden and many members of Congress had constructed to force them all together into a “must pass” bill. While I never saw him make that exact promise during the nomination process, it now appears that my wish will be granted. We haven’t seen a specific bill yet, but Johnson’s first move was to pass an endorsement of Israel and a denouncement of Hamas terrorism, which was a good sign. He will also need
The Israeli force has killed the head of Hamas Aerial Array, Asem Abu Rakaba.
Rakaba was part of the planning of the attack on Israel on October 7.
He was behind Hamas paragliders, UAVs, and drones attack on Israelis.
However, Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), fighter jet struck down Rakaba on Friday night. Posting on X, IDF wrote: “Overnight, IDF fighter jets struck Asem Abu Rakaba, the Head of Hamas’ Aerial Array.
“Abu Rakaba was responsible for Hamas’ UAVs, drones, paragliders, aerial detection and defense.
“He took part in planning the October 7 massacre and commanded the terrorists who infiltrated Israel on paragliders

The Tree of Life synagogue shooting happened in Pittsburgh, PA on October 27, 2018, exactly five years ago. The anti-Semitic shooter killed 11 people and wounded 6 more. He survived and was tried and convicted for his crimes. Just a few months ago he was given a death sentence.
To his credit, Sen. Bernie Sanders posted a reminder about the attack on his X account. He probably didn’t expect the kind of responses he received. He hadn’t mentioned Israel or Gaza but suddenly lots of people on the left were angry at him: And there were quite a few comments like this one. There are hundreds of tweets like these,
Waiting for Gadot and Woke Snow

I know you all have been wondering what happened to our Princess of Peeve (interviewed here with co-star Gal Gadot), our winsome wordsmith of Woke wisdom – smug Disney Snow White come to life, Rachel Zegler. Well, she’s world weary of being criticized for being loud and proud. She’s a victim of her own boldness.
…In a quote she provided The Wrap for her feature in its 2023 “Latino Power List,” the actress of Colombian and Polish descent acknowledged “backlash” she has gotten for her “outspokenness.” The statement follow months of backlash the actress received for her comments on how outdated the original animated “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” was.
The Florida Republican governor, an Iraq War Navy veteran, promised to reboot America’s national security posture with a rebuilt Navy at the heart of the country’s hard power, during his Oct. 27 address at the Washington-based Heritage Foundation’s “Mandate for Leadership” speaking speakers series.
“As Winston Churchill noted, it's important to keep open and active the saltwater highways that make our world tick,” said Ron DeSantis, who served as a legal advisor to Navy SEAL operators in Iraq during his 2007 deployment there.
“To that end, I'm proposing a four oceans Navy, 355 ships by the end of the first term, 385 by the end of the second term, and a
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stated that “China also can have a dialogue with certain actors” in the Middle East “that we may not be able to or may not be able to do as effectively as, perhaps, they can.” And they’re working towards a meeting between President Biden and Xi Jinping “as aggressively as we can.”
Host Bret Baier asked, [relevant exchange begins around 7:10] “The Chinese foreign minister at the White House today. Has the U.S. pressured China at all about how it talks about Israel, Hamas and will
Robert Card, the suspect believed to be responsible for one of Maine’s deadliest mass shootings, has been found dead two days after allegedly killing 18 people at a bowling alley and bar on Wednesday, according to law enforcement sources.
The body of the 40-year-old trained firearms instructor with past mental health issues was located in the woods near Lisbon, where his vehicle and a gun were found after the shooting, according to federal law enforcement sources.
Card was the subject of a massive manhunt in connection to two shootings in Lewiston, Maine’s second-largest city, that erupted Wednesday night.

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Saturday he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.
He made the shock announcement in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday during the Republican Jewish Coalition Annual Leadership Summit as GOP candidates gathered to speak to this voting bloc.
Pence said it became increasingly clear that he could not win the Republican nomination.'You know, we always knew this would be an uphill battle. But I have no regrets,' Pence assured.
He added: 'The only thing that would have been harder than coming up short, would have been if we never tried at all.'
Houston mayoral candidate and current U.S. Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee drew support from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at an event on Friday.
Clinton reassured Houston voters that she believes Jackson Lee is the right woman for the job.
"They will not regret their vote because they will have a mayor who will work 24/7 to do what she has said she will do," Clinton said. There was a bit of commotion during the endorsement when a protester disrupted her speech and had to be escorted out.
Jackson Lee is a frontrunner in the race for mayor alongside Texas state Senator John Whitmire.
During an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that the rise in Treasury yields that increases the cost of the U.S. government borrowing money isn’t largely connected to the deficit, but is largely “a reflection of the resilience that people are seeing in the U.S. economy that we’re not having a recession, that consumer spending and demand continue to be strong, the economy is continuing to show tremendous robustness.”
Joe Biden has blown up the world

On day one of the Biden administration, he canceled the Keystone Pipeline, putting thousands of skilled workers out of work. (snip) Biden is an angry man, a stupid man, an arrogant man, and a little man. He was never a good senator. (snip) He constantly makes up things that he’s done or accomplished when those claims are easily checked. (snip) He has tried for years to make us believe he is good, smart, and legitimate, but he is none of those things. He has brought the United States to a historic low — the brink of another world war. He’s blown up the world.

Chinese state media continued to gush over visiting California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday, hailing the Democrat’s warm meeting with dictator Xi Jinping as a triumph of “mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.”
Newsom said that under his leadership, California is ready to become “China’s long-term, stable, and strong partner.” (snip) Newsom came out firmly against decoupling from China by moving supply chains to other countries, proclaiming “divorce is not an option” for the U.S. and China
Republican Sen. Mitt Romney laughed at former President Donald Trump and called him a 'whack job' after the ex-president and 2024 hopeful spent Monday morning bashing him on Truth Social.
Romney is the subject of a new biography by The Atlantic's McKay Coppins entitled Romney: A Reckoning, where he gives another warning about Trumpism, after voting to convict Trump at both impeachments.
The Utah senator mouthed off to Coppins about Trump and other Republican leaders, which prompted the ex-president to take to Truth Social and call Romney 'a total loser that only a mother could love,' among other insults.
President Trump used his Constitutional right to Free Speech on Friday to go off on the crooked Judge Arthur Engoron, New York State Attorney General Letitia James for continuing this lawfare suit against President Trump and his family after the star witness testified this week that there is zero evidence that President Trump misrepresented the value of his assets to gain business loans for his company.
There is no victim in this lawsuit. President Trump paid off each loan and the banks admitted they would readily loan him money for future projects.
Engoron is the same bizarre and unhinged judge who opened the garbage trial against Donald Trump
On Thursday, in response to the Maine shootings, President Joe Biden pushed for a repeal of protections that protect gun makers from frivolous lawsuits, universal background checks, and other gun controls.
WhiteHouse.gov published Biden’s statement, which opened with him saying, “Today, Jill and I are praying for the Americans who’ve lost their lives, for those still in critical care, and for the families, survivors, and community members enduring shock and grief.”
He then urged residents in Maine’s Lewiston area to heed all law enforcement’s warnings, including alerts to shelter-in-place.
Newly-minted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday that the entirety of his worldview could be found if one would simply “go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it.”
Johnson, who received unanimous Republican support after three weeks of chaos — and three other nominees for the position — was elected on Wednesday to replace ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and spoke with Hannity about getting back to business in the House of Representatives.
Ugh, Sean Hannity

Coming from the media sphere, I have something of an immunity for ridiculous personalities and clickbaity positions, but when it comes to Sean Hannity, I have zero chill. His arrogance is outrageous, even by celebrity standards, but some of the things that come out of his mouth are so daft that I cannot abide giving him even one minute of validation. Case in point? He was interviewing Nikki Haley the evening of Oct. 25, fewer than three hours after the massacre in Lewiston, when he indulged in a soliloquy that made even the presidential hopeful look bored. And Hannity’s point? To say that his plan, should he ever find himself
A meeting over Chicago's brewing migrant crisis in the Brighton Park neighborhood became heated as residents protested a planned camp that can house over 2,000 migrants, according to Fox 32 Chicago.
Residents of the southwest side of Chicago neighborhood were fiercely divided over the plan, with city officials confirming their plans to build a camp for migrants on a "10-acre vacant lot, located at 38th and California," per the outlet.
"The City of Chicago has been identifying viable sites across the city to construct base camps as an alternative to new arrivals sleeping outdoors, at O’Hare and on the floors of police district stations as winter fast approaches,"
Thousands gathered in Istanbul on Saturday for what was touted as the “Great Palestine Meeting.” The event was a pro-Palestine rally aimed at condemning Israel’s recent military actions in Gaza, where Hamas headquarters are located.
Hamas terrorists were responsible for a deadly attack that claimed the lives of 1,400 Jews in southern Israel. One must ask the question: What did people expect Israel to do in response? Not retaliate? When an entity like Hamas, designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel, engages in violent acts aimed at killing civilians, it is not only Israel’s right but also its obligation to defend its citizens.
