The following is a brief essay by Sundance over at CTH. It is a short history of how American foreign policy has arrived where it is.
Joe Biden was literally in the air, flying toward the region when Jordan’s King Abdullah cancelled the summit between Egyptian President al-Sisi, Abdullah and Biden. This is more than a little sunlight on who Abdullah was talking about when he said, “the usual suspects were trying to create Defacto issues on the ground.”
Biden is going to Israel today. The agenda here is transparently obvious.
Hamas, also known as Palestinian rapists and murderers, launched an attack on Israel last Saturday. This featured the killing of people at bus stops, in their homes and in their cars. Also on the agenda was the raping of women and girls, breaking their limbs and then executing them. Some were burned alive while the onlookers cheered. Perhaps the worst atrocity was the killing of babies. An untold number of them were decapitated. Some of them were burned as well.
Karl Denninger was the founder and CEO of MCSNet. He later sold the company to Winstar Communications. Denninger is a founding contributor to the finance blog market-ticker.org, and has used the internet to bring attention to his concerns with the financial system. Denninger was also one of the early members of the Tea Party movement, sometimes referred to as a founder.
Denninger is gifted at processing mountains of statistical data and being able to present his findings in an understandable manner. He does not pretend. Denninger does not ignore data he does not like.
Denninger did an outstanding job with COVID data. While I do not always subscribe to his ideas for fixing things, his analyses are thought provoking.
Karl Denninger believes we are headed to very bad economic times and he pulls no punches in telling everyone why.
Another interview with Caroline Glick. Glick is a stable, non-pretending voice of pragmatic deliberation as the Israeli response to the Hamas attack continues. Glick does not pretend that there is some aspect of the current situation where an accommodation with Hamas is possible.
On Saturday, Hamas terrorists launched a major surprise attack on Israel. Over 5,000 missiles were fired at Israel overwhelming the Iron Dome defense. Israel was also attacked by land and by sea. More than a thousand civilians were wantonly slaughtered by Hamas. Some 250 were cut down at a festival for peace near Gaza. Israeli reservists have been called up to help defend the country from this terrorism.
Now that the Republican campaign season is officially open with the first primary debate over in Wisconsin, it is probably a good idea to see what promises they are making that everyone knows they will not keep. During the runup to these events and in interviews afterwards, the erstwhile candidates to be first loser often go deep into their visions for the country. Again this is just blathering on their part but it is often fun to see just how hypocritical these people can be.
All of a sudden we are now hearing about potential indictments of PDJT for organizing a peaceful protest in Washington DC on January 6th. Over the weekend Trump was given four days to appear before the grand jury. Why the sudden rush?
The Democratic Party was inaugurated by Thomas Jefferson and at its birth was firmly opposed to a strong, central government. Jefferson’s philosophy was based on the fundamental belief that the people are capable of self-government. Jefferson championed states’ rights and strict constitutional interpretation.
