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.
John Fetterman has apparently engaged in some self-introspection.
The House went home on Friday without electing a speaker. The media is apoplectic that this is paralyzing the country. Last I checked everything is still running smoothly here. The pundits are worried about the country being forced to shut down some unnecessary functions next month.
My question is, “is that really a downside to this situation?”
California has apparently decided that kids should not be held accountable for their behavior in school. From the Epoch Times: ...
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.
For those that have the stomach and the time (81 minutes). The evil that is Hamas is well exposed.

In less than two minutes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined the nature of the barbarian enemy they face, but also dropped all pretending when he said, “Hamas is ISIS.” For those who understand the nature of the Middle East, not the pretend version pushed by western media and intelligence within those three words, there is a depth of understanding.
Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, and ISIS are all factions of the same overall core violent and militant ideology. Each of these violent factions represents a spine in the umbrella of the Muslim Brotherhood (political Islam). It is a good thing to see Netanyahu drop the pretending and admit the core nature of the terrorist enemy they are facing. This approach may put Arab nations like Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia in a tough domestic position, but it needs to be said out loud.
On Saturday, Hamas terrorists launched over 5,000 missiles 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. Hundreds of young women and girls have been kidnapped and have been declared to be sex slaves. Hamas claims they have another 100,000 missiles ready to go.
