Biden Threatens Netanyahu’s Drive to Destroy Hamas

The deepening antipathy of the Biden administration toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is threatening to derail Israel’s military offensive to destroy Hamas.

With every day that the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) maintain their military effort to end the threat to Israeli security posed by Hamas’s presence in Gaza, more details emerge of the staggering underground terrorist infrastructure the Iranian-backed group has constructed in Gaza.

Unhappy Anniversary: Biden Killed Keystone Pipeline 3 Years Ago

Joe Biden’s war on American energy started on day one.

Biden’s first act of president was to kill the Keystone XL pipeline. Biden’s action on January 20, 2021, was part of a series of executive orders on his first day in office that revoked “permits signed over the past 4 years that do not serve the U.S. national interest, including revoking the Presidential permit granted to the Keystone XL pipeline.”

Ron DeSantis suspends campaign for president

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Donald Trump.

The surprise video announcement comes ahead of this week’s New Hampshire Republican primary, where Mr DeSantis was polling in the single digits.

The conservative lawmaker said that he didn’t “have a clear path to victory” when announcing the end of his campaign.

His departure leaves Nikki Haley as Mr Trump’s only significant rival.

I like Desantis but Trump is a hard man to beat.

On Confronting the Iranian Regime

The Biden administration’s reluctance to robustly respond to the rogue Islamist regime of Iran apparently only reinforces the inclination of Iran’s political and military leadership to inflict more harm.

When US responses lack decisiveness, the Islamic Republic interprets this “restraint” as a failure of nerve on the part of the US and the international community. Such leniency, it seems, simply invigorates the regime to persist in disrupting regional and global stability, and escalate its assertive military maneuvers and support for terrorist activities.

Canada a ‘safe haven’ for ‘transnational crime networks and their dirty money’: U.S. report

OTTAWA – Canada has become a “safe haven” and international hub for notorious crime groups as illicit trade in the country is “booming,” according to a report by an American think tank.

“Canada has become a safe zone for the world’s most notorious crime groups and threat networks that are harming Canada’s national security and imperiling the security of other nations,” warns a report published in late November by the International Coalition Against Illicit Economies (ICAIE).

America is seeing a tiny civil war in Texas

Pundits these days often warn that America may be on the brink of civil war. Finally, they’re right – except that in tiny Eagle Pass, Texas, forget being on the brink. In microcosm, civil war is already under way.

Once again playing immigration hardball, last week the Texas governor Greg Abbott, the vile, heartless Republican whose voodoo doll progressive Democrats poke pins in, sent the Texas National Guard to assume control of an Eagle Pass park used to process migrants and additional lands along the Mexican border. In so doing, the state militia is actively blocking the US Border Patrol from policing several miles along the banks of the Rio Grande. The intention, according to the Texas Military Department, is to block ‘organisations that perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings’. Those organisations would seem to include the federal government.

USA – Recent Sky-High Levels of Illegal Migration Are Dropping Fast — and Here’s Why

AUSTIN, Texas — Nothing in the American experience has ever compared to the 10,000-14,000 illegal crossings every day the last several months that afflicted major American cities or those poor federal government souls who must manage the U.S. southern border.

But November’s and December’s latest “newest” record-smashing crossings, which exacerbated an already significant political liability to President Biden’s November reelection bid, were falling fast by New Year’s Day. And they’re still dropping.

US to reclassify Yemen’s Houthi rebels as terrorists

The United States is poised to reclassify Yemen’s Houthis as a terrorist organisation, reversing a decision by President Biden to delist the rebels in 2021.

The designation of the Houthis as a “specially designated global terrorist” entity is expected on Wednesday in response to the Iran-backed group’s attacks on commercial and military ships in the Red Sea, one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.

RFK Jr.’s popularity shows that Americans aren’t despairing (yet)

Amid the muck created by America’s two inadequate presidential frontrunners, green shoots are rising. They may not grow to maturity this year, but the basis for the emergence of better political choices already exists and is showing surprising life.

The majority of voters, particularly independents, do not want a Biden-Trump rematch. That’s no surprise, since three-quarters of the population think that Joe Biden is too old, with the vast majority considering him not mentally up to the job. For his part, Donald Trump has consistently failed to gain approval from more than 42% of the electorate. Astonishingly, the most favoured of all the candidates is neither one of these two, but instead independent candidate Robert Kennedy.

Blowout in the Hawkeye State: Trump Wins Iowa Caucuses in Landslide

Former President Donald Trump cruised to victory in the Iowa caucuses Monday, serving as a likely harbinger of what is to come in subsequent nominating contests.

CNN and the Associated Press called the caucuses for Trump just 30 minutes into the nominating process, with less than one percent of the vote reporting. The 45th president had garnered 64.5 percent of the vote, with one percent reporting as of 8:42 p.m., according to the New York Times’ election results. He was beating his nearest opponent, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), by roughly 40 percentage points.
