White House Makes Laughable Statement on Trump’s Middle East Policy

“…White House press secretary Jen Psaki fell face-first into foolishness when she attempted to downplay former President Donald Trump’s progress with working towards peace in the Middle East. During a recent conversation with reporters, the press secretary attempted to demean the peace deals the U.S. helped to broker between Israel and Arab nations under the former president.

During a Tuesday trip to Michigan on Air Force One, Psaki said: “Aside from putting forward a peace proposal that was dead on arrival, we don’t think they did anything constructive really to bring an end to the long-term conflict in the Middle East.”

The press secretary’s comments were a response to a reporter’s question about the Trump administration’s Abraham Accords which were designed to normalize diplomatic relations between Israel and other Middle Eastern countries. Apparently, she missed the widespread celebration of the various peace deals between Israel and previously hostile Arab nations that the Trump administration facilitated.

In September 2020, it was announced that the United Arab Emirates and Israel would enter into a peace agreement. This accord was a significant step toward Middle East peace as it was the first domino to drop in the quest for less volatility. With this new agreement in place, trade between the two nations can flourish.

Less than 30 days later, the Trump administration scored another diplomatic victory when it succeeded in persuading Bahrain to also normalize ties with Israel. When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Bahrain’s King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa on the phone, the leaders agreed to establish full relations between their countries.

Next was Sudan, which announced in October last year that it would start to establish diplomatic ties with the Jewish state after its historically antagonistic stance against the nation. This development was rather significant in that it had engaged in military conflict with Tel-Aviv in the past. In a piece for the Times of Israel, author Raphael Aren noted:

Sudan, on the other hand, has been a bitter enemy of the Jewish state since its founding. During the 1948 War of Independence, six Sudanese army companies joined the Egyptians in fighting the nascent Jewish state.

The animosity continued for seven decades. Until 2016, Sudan was a staunch ally of Iran, helping the Islamic Republic smuggle rockets and other weapons to Palestinian terror groups in Gaza. This prompted Israel to repeatedly bomb military facilities in the country, according to foreign reports.

Lastly, Morocco became the fourth Arab nation to declare that it would establish diplomatic relations with Israel. The two countries stated they would reopen economic liaison offices that were closed in 2002 and work towards exchanging ambassadors while restarting direct flights.

These accomplishments were a great boon to Israel and others who seek peace in the Middle East. The nation was unable to enjoy normalized relations with most Arab nations, and President Trump began the process towards remedying the issue.

Psaki’s comments are especially ludicrous considering the fact that violence once again broke out between the Israelis and Palestinians with President Joe Biden in the White House. “Violence in the region under Biden’s leadership is at the highest level since at least 2014, before Trump was president,” according to Breitbart News…”

Biden: Russia Can Have a New Pipeline, but America Can’t

“…Tell me again, who’s the Russian agent in the White House?

For four years just about every Democrat who got within spitting distance of a microphone accused Donald Trump of being Putin’s stooge at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

The Mueller report disproved that. Facts didn’t matter. The Democrats, and the cable nets and their gasbag hosts, went right along nesting one lie inside another, inside another.

Now Trump is out, Joe Biden is in. Trump had approved the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would have united Canada and the United States and enhanced both countries’ energy security, which enhances national security.

Biden nixed that pipeline with an executive order on his first day in office.

Environment czar John Kerry famously told the workers Biden had summarily laid off to go get jobs making solar panels.

But Kerry knew those are not made by free Americans, but by slaves in China.

Was Kerry telling American workers to enslave themselves to Xi, or merely telling them that he and Biden would condemn them to having to economically compete with slave labor — because Biden wasn’t about to rescind his Keystone cancellation?

Biden said he’d be tougher on Russia than Trump was.

Like many things Biden said during the campaign, such as that he’s a political moderate, that’s not turning out to be the case. Axios reports he’s waiving objections to a Russian pipeline to Germany.

The Biden administration will waive sanctions on the corporate entity and CEO overseeing the construction of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline into Germany, according to two sources briefed on the decision.

Why it matters: The decision indicates the Biden administration is not willing to compromise its relationship with Germany over this pipeline, and underscores the difficulties President Biden faces in matching actions to rhetoric on a tougher approach to Russia.

Between the lines: This planned move also sets up a bizarre situation in which the Biden administration will be sanctioning ships involved in the building of Nord Stream 2 but refusing to sanction the actual company in charge of the project.

The big picture: As Axios has previously reported, the completion of Nord Stream 2 would be a huge geopolitical win for Putin and give him substantial new leverage in Europe.

The geopolitics of this are not good. When you link it up to Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone and begin strangling U.S. energy production on federal lands, it’s even worse.

Again, who’s the Russian stooge in the White House? The president who made America energy independent and always prioritized America’s interests around the globe, or the president who returned America to energy dependence, killed an international pipeline that would have benefited America and Canada, cut American energy production, and then empowered Putin?…”

 

Innocent Until Proven Conservative: Capitol Protesters Languish in Jail, Are ‘Tortured,’ While Antifa And BLM Criminals Walk

“..People are tortured mentally, physically, socially, emotionally, legally, and spiritually,” Jacob Lang wrote to his dad. He has been in a federal jail since he was arrested on January 16 for his part in the mostly peaceful demonstration at the Capitol on January 6.

“I’ve been in solitary confinement for a hundred days now and haven’t been convicted of any crime with no end in sight,” he continued.

Lang is accused of assaulting a Capitol police officer with a dangerous or deadly weapon. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. As per a text message received by his mother, Lang was reportedly locked in an empty cell with no toilet paper, chair, or blanket for 14 hours after being accused of advising other Capitol protestors to not take a plea deal.

Shockingly (or not), members of the left’s darling street militias, BLM and antifa, have seen a different side of the “system.” People arrested for rioting, looting, burning federal buildings, and assaulting police officers are seeing little, if any, time behind bars. Roughly half of those arrested for federal crimes have had their charges dropped. Most are granted bail and many have had their bail paid by organizations such as the Minnesota Freedom Fund...”

I think her statement is good. The loony left have gone bonkers over this.

Bill Gates ‘turned a blind eye to Jeffrey Epstein’s reputation because he thought he could get him a Nobel Peace Prize’ – as it’s revealed they both attended a 2013 meeting at the home of ex Norwegian Nobel Committee chairman

• • Gates and Epstein went to the Strasbourg home of Thorbjorn Jagland in 2013
  • Jagland said Gates asked for the meeting to learn more about the Council of Europe and its work in healthcare
  • They arrived together, Jagland said, but Epstein did not take part in the talks
  • He however introduced Gates to IPI – a think tank he has since given millions to
  • Jagland, at the time, was the chairman of Norway’s Nobel Committee
  • Details of the meeting emerged as former Gates staffers claimed he thought Epstein could help him get the Nobel Peace Prize
  • Epstein had already been convicted of soliciting a child prostitute when Gates met him
  • The staffers say they knew the association could harm Bill and Melinda’s reputation but they ignored it
  • Gates, through a spokesman, denies ever seeking the Nobel Peace Prize
  • He said he has never attended ‘parties’ with Epstein and only ever used him to fundraise for worthy philanthropic causes

Former staffers of The Gates Foundation said Bill and Melinda knew about Epstein’s reputation and his conviction but Bill carried on with the relationship because he though tit could be beneficial philanthropically, and could earn him a Nobel Peace Prize. More details of his relationship with Epstein have emerged since he announced his divorce on May 4

Rage of the NeverTrumpers

“…The apparent suicide plunge of U.S. Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) appears to be the psychopathic backlash of NeverTrumpers who are starting to realize Donald Trump’s defeat in November and the allegations he was attempting to overturn the election by provoking an “insurrection” at the Capitol on January 6 do not bring back the Republican Party of the Bushes and McCain and Romney, as those families seem to imagine. This is only the first shoe dropping. It will soon be followed by the realization of the role the NeverTrumpers have played in shackling the country and the Western world to the unfolding disaster of the Biden presidency…

…A very large number of Americans are disconcerted to see 80 percent of the gas stations in Washington, D.C. closed for lack of fuel, and the Russian thugs responsible for the closure dutifully paid their ransom money by the hacked pipeline’s owners. They are disconcerted by a 944 percent increase in April, year over year, in illegal entries across the southern border. They cannot fail to notice a 75 percent shortfall from projections of new jobs for April. Nor can they be assured by a rate of inflation, if properly calculated, of approximately 12 percent. This is the emerging level of performance by the new administration that will cause recollections of President Trump to become fonder rather than more censorious…

…Trump urged his followers, aggrieved as he and they were at what they all thought, with some reason, to be a tainted election result, to demonstrate “patriotically and peacefully.” He did not counsel and gave no support nor knew anything about the hooliganism that occurred. It would have gone nowhere if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) or Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser had paid any attention to the requests the chief of the Capitol Police made in the preceding days for reinforcements. It would be gratifying if the same self-elevated custodians of American political virtue had managed any comment at all on the “peaceful protests” of last summer, which killed at least 50 people, wounded more than 2,000 police, and caused billions of dollars in damage. Where was the rule of law then as the police were being defunded by the Democrats?

As emotionalism subsides, the grim facts of the Biden Administration’s incompetence and mendacity grow more onerous, degrading, and cringe-worthy, and the soufflé of Trump-hate settles, the absurdity and futility of the anti-Trump Republicans will become unimpeachably clear…

…Cheney and her followers are not numerous or credible enough to tear anything but a marginal corner off the Republican Party as it moves in the direction Trump pointed it: pitching directly to blacks, Hispanics, and working and middle-class Americans. It is a winning formula on a rising trajectory, and it is not accessible to the McRomBush (and Cheney) Republicans as they disappear into the mists of the party’s less successful past.

There is an argument to be made for trying to persuade Trump to confer his benediction on another candidate who would thus be much indebted to him, and to do the necessary to make that candidate a unitary Republican figure. In this, Cheney inadvertently shows the way: the Trump policy with a less disruptive personality but with whom Trump is congenial.

Long before serious consideration needs to be given to the next presidential nominee, however, Trump will flex his muscles in the midterm elections next year. He will demonstrate that he is the only person in the country for whom 50,000 Americans will stand outdoors in raw weather to wait for the chance to see and listen to him. Unless he does something to damage his franchise, none of the other plausible Republican nominees will announce until Trump says that he will not run. If he does not say that, he will probably be renominated and reelected.

That is what drives the NeverTrumpers to these insane acts and utterances: in policy terms, he was very good and it is clear that his opponents wounded but did not kill him. In their mindless hate, they inflicted this terrible regime on the country. Their rage now is designed to assuage their guilt. It will not succeed, even in that…”

Media in Full Spin Mode to Cover for Biden’s Failures

DAVID KELTZ:

“…On Thursday the Washington Post, the outlet that decided 100 days into Biden’s presidency that it would no longer fact-check him, published an article titled, “ ‘Better days are ahead’: Maskless Biden marks milestone in virus battle.” On Friday the New York Times ran an article titled, “Beneath Joe Biden’s Folksy Demeanor, a Short Fuse and an Obsession With Details.” And on Saturday, USA Today published an article titled “Joe Biden has proven an elusive target for Republicans. With the Cheney fight over, their focus is back on the president.” All these articles find ways to excuse and deflect attention from the crises Biden has ignored, worsened, and even created in his first four months in office.

But all is not quiet on the Western front in the Biden White House, despite what the administration and the media tell you.

In April, 178,622 migrants entered our country illegally, marking a 3 percent increase over the 172,000 who broke the law in March, the highest number in 20 years. But don’t worry; Biden in his own words has “now gotten control” of the situation, and there’s still no reason for Vice President Kamala Harris to visit the border.

And although there are currently 8.1 million job openings in the U.S., we somehow only managed to add 266,000 jobs in April, or nearly three-quarters of a million less than the one million that Wall Street economists were projecting. This after the March job numbers were already revised down another 140,000. Might it have something to do with Biden’s insistence that Americans receive a $300 weekly bonus check to stay home? Even those making $32,000 a year would see a raise by going on unemployment.

To make matters worse, last Wednesday, it was revealed that the Consumer Price Index rose 4.2 percent from a year ago, the biggest yearly jump since late 2008. But don’t worry; inflation is not really a big deal for the middle class. Biden insists that “There’s more evidence that our economy is moving in the right direction.”

As if that was not bad enough, a Russian cyberattack on a U.S. pipeline that provides gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel to nearly half of the East Coast was recently forced to turn off its spigot, resulting in a gas shortage, long waits at the pump, and soaring fuel prices. Last Wednesday, 74 percent of North Carolina’s stations ran out of gas, and the price of gas spiked by 12 cents in Kentucky. Colonial Pipeline, the company that was targeted, then paid the hackers a $5 million ransom. But don’t worry; it was a “private sector decision,” as Biden’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Cyber & Emerging Technology Anne Neuberger said last week.

And all of this is just on the home front. Last week, after four years of relative peace in the Middle East under former President Trump, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas fired more than 3,100 rockets targeting Israeli urban civilian centers, schools, and Ben Gurion Airport. But Biden, who has restored Palestinian funding that is used to pay for Hamas’s terrorist operations, still wants to cut a deal with the leading state sponsors of terrorism in Iran. After Israel was attacked, Biden mostly stayed silent while delivering a hollow and ineffective call for peace. He refused to overtly condemn the actions by the Palestinian terrorists or strongly side with Israel, before eventually saying that “Israel has a right to defend itself when you have thousands of rockets flying into your territory.” You don’t say.

Last week’s news cycle was so bad for the Biden administration that the public health bureaucracy even sided against it. Based on no new scientific information, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) decided on Thursday that those who are fully vaccinated can now safely walk around outside and inside (in many cases) without a mask. This comes after the fully vaccinated Biden has been parading around the White House and on Zoom calls with a mask on for weeks, telling everyone that even after they have been fully vaccinated, they must continue to do so…”

Cuomo Received $5.1 Million for COVID Book Despite Nursing Home Deaths

“…Cuomo raked in the millions as elderly people died and his aides fudged the death numbers to make him look good. Oh, he only sold 50,000 copies, too…”

“…New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s tax returns he released on Monday show he sold the rights to his COVID memoir for over $5 million.

$5 million for a book that only sold around 50,000 copies.

American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic came out in mid-October with the virus still going strong in the state.

Crown Publishing gave Cuomo the contract despite investigations into his nursing home mandate at the beginning of the pandemic.

Then we learned Cuomo’s aides kept fudging the nursing home death numbers while he wrote this masterpiece.

The publisher paid Cuomo $3.12 million in 2020. It will give him “an additional $2 million” in the next few years:

Cuomo’s financial records indicate that after taxes and expenses, his net gain from that initial payment of $3.12 million was $1.54 million. He has since donated $500,000 to the United Way of New York State to help with pandemic “recovery and vaccination efforts.”

The remaining $1 million and change has been placed in a trust for his three daughters. They gave him “the strength and love to make it through the crisis every day,” Cuomo adviser Rich Azzopardi said in a statement.

Crown Publishing announced in March it would stop promoting Cuomo’s book due to the scandals:

Sales of the book, “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the Covid-19 Pandemic,” had already slowed severely as the governor found himself embroiled in overlapping crises of his own making, including a drumbeat of accusations about his inappropriate behavior toward younger women and his aides’ manipulation of nursing home data.

Gillian Blake of Crown Publishing Group said in response to an email from The New York Times that there were “no plans” to reprint Mr. Cuomo’s book or to reissue it in paperback, citing “the ongoing investigation into N.Y.S. reporting of Covid-related fatalities in nursing homes.”

Do not forget the nine women who accused Cuomo of sexual harassment. Do not forget that Cuomo mansplained the harassment definition to a female reporter…”

Twitter Suspends Spanish Politician for Tweeting ‘A Man Cannot Get Pregnant.’

“…Francisco José Contreras, a politician in Spain, was temporarily suspended from Twitter last week after declaring that “a man cannot get pregnant” because he has “no uterus or eggs,” in response to an article he shared about a transgender “male” who gave birth.

“I’ve been blocked from Twitter for 12 hours for ‘hate speech’” Contreras announced on Facebook.

Twitter claims that Contreras broke their rules “banning hate speech behaviors.”

“No threatening, harassing or fostering violence against other people on the basis of their race, ethnic origin, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religion, age, disability or disease is permitted,” Twitter told him…”
