• Biden made no distinction between a democratic ally of the United States and a terrorist organization he did not even name. He spoke as if he did not know that the calm was broken by a terrorist organization and by no one else, and that what prevents Palestinians from having freedom, prosperity and democracy is precisely that they are ruled by terrorists and people who supports terrorism.
• On April 7, a US Department of State press statement said that the Biden administration had decided to restore US financial "aid to Palestinians", without requiring that American money not be used for terrorist purposes....
• The appointment to the post of Deputy Assistant Secretary for Israeli-Palestinian Affairs of Hady Amr, a man who has accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing" and "apartheid", and said that he was "inspired by intifada", seemed to confirm that the Biden administration would not be particularly "pro-Israel".... Amr met Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Muhammad Ishtayya in Ramallah to negotiate the use of US financial aid to the PA while Israel was under missile fire....
• In a PBS interview on April 2, one of the American negotiators, Robert Malley, announced that he wants "to remove those sanctions that are inconsistent with the deal", "so that Iran enjoys the benefits that it was supposed to enjoy". Nothing shows that the Biden administration has changed that position.
• There were no threats to stop the new funding he had promised the Palestinians until they stopped firing rockets. He did not threaten to withdraw his promise of an office in Washington DC for them.
• Most unsettling of all, while Iran's proxy, Hamas, was raining nearly 4,000 rockets and missiles into a country the size of New Jersey, the US was engaged in talks in Vienna to discuss how much money the US was prepared to give Iran – to buy more weapons to batter Israel again?
• Seemingly to destabilize Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the US administration made public a report accusing the him of being responsible for the murder of the anti-Saudi writer, Jamal Khashoggi, without specifying that Khashoggi was an agent of the Muslim Brotherhood, an arch-enemy of the House of Saud.
• A recent article by Michael Doran and Tony Badran on Tablet explains why Israel needs to stay on guard and be ready to act decisively. A project designed during the Obama presidency and aiming to "create a new Middle Eastern order" seems to be underway. It would place the interests of Iran over those of US allies in the Middle East, thereby leading to the hegemony in the region of Iran. The project would erode new the Abraham Accords, push Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to come to an agreement with Iran and involve "forcing Israel into a more passive posture in the face of Iran's rising power". Is this project that the Biden administration is now implementing?
• "In war and conflict, one side wins and one side loses.... Israel must do what all nations... are doing to achieve victory: beating its enemy...." — Daniel Pipes, historian, Commentary, January 2017.
• The Biden administration acts as if it does not see that it puts Israel and other longtime American allies in danger; it acts as if it does not see that behind Iran and the mullahs, China is on the move.
• Is the Biden administration about to seriously diminish the status of the United States and the Free World to herald in a new world order that is radical and monstrous?

Just seems:
Corvid came from China.
Fentinal comes from China
China wants to destroy the US$
China is provoking Taiwan
China is building islands in the South China Sea to gain control of world shipping trade
China has been collecting personnel information on every American citizen for years
China has been buying up Americans debts for years
More than one American Democratic politician has had extremely close contact with Chinese

Any thoughts ??

Lauren Boebert Falsely Claims Texas Hasn’t Had a Single C****-** Death Since Lifting All Restrictions Two Months Ago.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lifted all C****-** restrictions in Texas on March 2. According to data provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services, the state had recorded 46,538 deaths at that point. As of May 19, Texas has reported 50,051 deaths, meaning that according to Texas’ own “C****-** Total Fatalities by County” chart, more than 3,500 people have died of C****-** since the state removed all restrictions two months ago. (Were those deaths just meaningless to her?)

Former Trump advisor Michael Flynn claims the C****-** p******c was fabricated to distract from the 2020 e******n.
https://network-bussiness.com/2021/05/23/former-trump-advisor-michael-flynn-claims-the-c****-**-p******c-was-fabricated-to-distract-from-the-2020-e******n/

All the nations in the world suffering from this p******c just coordinated and made up figures about the effects of the v***s to foster a distraction to the 2020 e******n? All the nations of the world? The nuttiness of this conspiracy theory is so abundantly flawed and ridiculous...well, it is just sheer madness.

Did either of these, er, people think they would somehow be believed? And then there are millions (just try to grasp that number) of Republicans who continue to maintain that the e******n was s****n despite overwhelming and conclusive evidence that it was not stolen but won in a free e******n.

What are we to make of this surreal "evil lunacy" so matter-of-factly accepted and promoted? This is an alien planet of thought and attitude that has escaped the gravity of Reason and decency. It could be the movie script for Memoires Of A Schizophrenic. There is really no need to discus the motives; as I said, they have escaped the gravity of Reason, going to a far, far distant galaxy free from Reality.

Republican lawmakers blasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., over the weekend for comparing the House's mask mandate to the Holocaust.

The Republicans who criticized Greene were among those who either v**ed to impeach President Donald Trump this year or, in addition, v**ed to strip Greene of her committee assignments.

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who was recently ousted from GOP leadership after she continued to refute Trump's e*******l falsehoods, lambasted Greene's comparison as "evil lunacy" in a tweet.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., one of three House Republicans who v**ed both for Trump's impeachment and to strip Greene of her committee assignments, tweeted that Greene's remarks amount to "Absolute sickness."

And Rep. Peter Meijer, R-Mich., said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that the comments were "beyond reprehensible."

"This is, I don't even have words to describe how disappointing it is to see this hyperbolic speech that frankly amps up and plays into a lot of the antisemitism that we've been seeing in our society today," he said.

In an appearance last week on the podcast "The Water Cooler with David Brody," Greene lamented to a nodding Brody about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to maintain a mask mandate on the House floor because of concerns many GOP members may not be v******ted.

"This woman is mentally ill," Greene said of Pelosi, D-Calif. "You know, we can look back in a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star and they were definitely treated like second-class citizens — so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in N**i Germany, and this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about."

She was referring to the millions of Jews who were forced to wear a Star of David on their clothes, sent to concentration camps and murdered during World War II. A poll conducted this year showed an increase in antisemitism around the world, as well as a lack of awareness about the Holocaust among adults under 40, 11 percent of whom said they believed it was caused by Jewish people.

A CNN survey this month found that fewer than half of House Republicans would say they had been v******ted, compared to 100 percent of House Democrats. Greene said recently that Pelosi "cannot force" her to be v******ted.

The American Jewish Congress called on Greene on Twitter to apologize and retract her comments, saying "such comparisons demean the Holocaust & contaminate American political speech." A Change.org petition to have House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., expel her from Congress had attracted almost 25,000 signatures by late Sunday afternoon.

Greene has come under repeated scrutiny for her past promotion of conspiracy theories like Q***n and for having appeared to endorse violence against Pelosi before she sought office. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., condemned her for spreading "loony lies," and the Democratic-controlled House remove her from committees in February in a v**e backed by 11 Republicans.

You pay great homage to me by not engaging at any time in attempting to refute or argue against my threads impregnable evidence and facts. This action just says you know that I am right and you have no counter-point to make because what I provided was irrefutable. So, to the titillation of the horde gathered around the barn fire whooping at the moon, you offer some amps to the whoops. But I am and remain on the right side of t***h (reality, facts) until you get some cajones and make the futile attempt to debunk anything I have said, you are on the wrong side of t***h.

(This is just one instance of Barr's duplicity in backing the former president instead of remaining non-partican in administering justice. Months ago I noted in threads at least six, let's be kind and say, questionable breaches of ethics and worse. He was a Trump flunky.)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland faces a Monday deadline to decide whether to appeal a court order criticizing his predecessor William Barr, an early test of his willingness to defend the Justice Department's acts during Donald Trump's presidency.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson gave the Justice Department until May 24 to appeal a decision she issued earlier this month that faulted Barr for how he publicly summarized Special Counsel Robert Mueller's 2019 report and ordered the release of a related internal memo.

A group of U.S. Senate Democrats on May 14 urged Garland not to appeal Jackson's decision, saying in a letter that Barr's actions need to be exposed quickly.

"To be clear, these misrepresentations preceded your confirmation as Attorney General, but the Department you now lead bears responsibility for redressing them," the letter stated.

There are competing interests that Garland must balance in making his decision even if he may personally disapprove of Barr's conduct, said Bradley Moss, a national security lawyer in Washington who has been following the litigation.

An appeal would signal to civil servants in the Justice Department that Garland will back them in court when they come under fire, Moss said.

"For Garland, one interest here is the need to defend the honor and integrity of the department," Moss said. "The competing interest, of course, is the desire for some t***sparency."

Mueller investigated Russia’s role in the 2016 U.S. e******n, as well as whether Trump tried to impede his probe.

The special counsel's April 2019 report outlined 10 episodes in which Trump tried to get the special counsel fired, limit the scope of his investigation, or otherwise interfere with the probe.

Mueller stopped short of concluding that Trump had committed the crime of obstruction of justice, but did not exonerate him of wrongdoing either, leaving Barr or Congress the option to take action against the Republican president.

Before publicly releasing Mueller's report, Barr sent a letter to congressional leaders and held a news conference that summarized Mueller's findings. Many Democrats have accused Barr of misrepresenting Mueller's findings in order to change the public narrative at the time.

Jackson validated this view in her stinging May 3 decision. She said Barr misrepresented the Mueller report in his letter to Congress, and ordered the release of a 2019 legal memorandum to a government accountability group.

The judge said the memorandum, prepared for Barr as he considered his decision, did not qualify as a protected attorney-client communication.

In her decision, Jackson characterized the memo as a "strategic" document, concluding that Barr had come to a predetermined conclusion not to charge Trump with obstruction of justice.

Her ruling came in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a liberal watchdog group.

(This Commission will not find anything more than what is already abundantly clear by their v**es and public statements: Republicans incited and supported an attack on our democratic processes and the government itself.)

When the House v**ed Wednesday to pass a bill to create an independent commission to investigate the J*** 6 Capitol attack, 175 Republicans v**ed against it.

Why?

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) caved on nearly all of the Republican Party’s demands in crafting the legislation. The bill itself is bipartisan (35 Republicans supported it). The commission would be bipartisan, with members equally divided along party lines. Its members would have shared subpoena power. Its final report would be due by the end of the year instead of in 2022, when Republicans eyeing their ree******n campaigns definitely don’t want to be talking about that time President Donald Trump incited an attack on the U.S. Capitol that left five people dead, hundreds of police officers injured and countless others traumatized, all based on Republican-backed claims that the e******n was being stolen

Some Republicans argued that an independent commission would duplicate ongoing congressional and criminal investigations. But the same was true of the 9/11 commission, which is the model for the proposed J*** 6 commission.

Some said Democrats just want to use the commission to badger Trump. But, again, it would be an independent, bipartisan panel with outside members, with the singular goal of examining what led to one of the darkest days in American history.

Some said there was no i**********n at all and that J*** 6 was just a regular day of tourism. That is delusional.

The most obvious reason why so many Republicans v**ed against creating an independent J*** 6 commission is because they know they are complicit in what happened that day.

It’s one thing to have Democrats point out all the times Republicans echoed Trump’s lie that the e******n was s****n from him ― and how that lie led to so much damage and violence. It’s another thing if a respected, bipartisan panel of outside investigators makes those same connections and releases them for the public to see.

Republicans know that.

Republicans also know they are well-positioned to win control of the House in 2022, and an independent probe into what led to the i**********n could really mess it up for them.

There’s plenty of evidence out there that Republicans helped spread Trump’s lie. They did it in press releases. They did it in political videos. They did it in public speeches in front of large crowds. They did it in tweets. They went on live television and did it. It was all happening in plain sight.

And on J*** 6, one of the most egregious attacks on democracy took place right after the i**********n and requires no investigation. It was when dozens of House and Senate Republicans v**ed to overturn the e******n based on that lie ― just hours after a w***e s*********t mob of Trump supporters smashed their way into the Capitol with plans to k**l Pelosi, Vice President Mike Pence and others to stop them from certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s win. They did that because they believed the lie.

It should be no surprise, then, that nearly all of the same GOP lawmakers who v**ed to overturn the e******n also don’t want an independent panel to examine the Capitol r**t. Of the 139 House Republicans who v**ed in January to overturn the e******n based on the lie, 131 of them v**ed Wednesday not to create a commission to investigate the i**********n that was fueled by that lie.

The most glaring names on the list are House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), House GOP Whip Steve Scalise (La.) and newly elected GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (N.Y.). All three of them have peddled Trump’s lie. All three of them v**ed to overturn the e******n on J*** 6. And all three of them tried to bury that reality on Wednesday.
