Under Biden, America Is Failing – Big League! By Paul Ingrassia
Mar. 13, 2024 1:40 pm – “An arrest consists of a series of incidental irrelevancies, of a multitude of things that do not matter, and there seems no point in arguing about one of them individually…and yet all these incidental irrelevancies taken together implacably constitute the arrest,” wrote Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his Gulag Archipelago, a book that viscerally chronicled the hellscape of life under Soviet tyranny. The lasting impact of the work goes to the universal lessons it elaborates about tyranny – and how those lessons apply with as much fervor to modern American life as anywhere under Joe Biden, where impromptu arrests of innocent civilians, draconian censorship of the press and dissident views, and heavy-handed application of the law – impartially and without consideration for due process at all – defines the day-to-day realities of our seeming never-ending national nightmare.
These brutal conditions are the true state of the union. Alas, Biden put on his best possible impersonation of a “President” in last week’s address, which may have fooled the most dimwitted of the population, at least for the first ten, maybe twenty, minutes or so — until the drugs wore off. At which point, sensing they were losing the narrative, regime apparatchiks – including the New York Times and CNN – kicked into high gear, incredulously declaring Biden’s speech – if the growling bloviations of a demented old man foaming at the mouth can be described as a speech – as “energetic and impassioned.”
Nonsense. To the extent Biden’s bluster, light on substance and lighter still on real accomplishments, was significant at all: it was simply for being a portrait of a shameless liar, a sad geriatric desperately clinging ahold of power – the only thing he has going for him in life – having already lost half his mind, with the other half working in overdrive to spit out barely intelligible statements. He fumbled on the name of Laken Riley, the all-American girl ruthlessly murdered by illegals who have trampled over our laws with impunity, calling her “Lincoln.” He pretended like he ended COVID and brought peace to the Middle East, as China actively strengthens on the largesse of Washington’s reckless spending – while places like the Gaza Strip and Afghanistan bear witness to a revival of radical Islamic terrorism, a resurgence that threatens not just the long-term stability of those regions, but all of Europe. If left unchecked, the terrorism which has erupted all throughout the Middle East, and has spilled over across Europe, will unwind all the peaceful cooperation that has largely defined the European continent in the eight decades since World War II, in one fell swoop.
Biden lied through his teeth about America’s economic recovery, acting as though the jobs he created were not the ones that his friends in the deep state had shut down with callous indignation during COVID, using the sorry excuse of “public safety” to virtually strip every constitutional right Americans had left. The truth is that inflation remains at record-setting highs: growth may have slowed ever so slightly, but real wages have remained stagnant for years – meaning that Americans everywhere are spending considerably more for basic necessities, like food and utilities than they were paying under President Trump.
In bizarro world that is Biden’s America, where up is down and bad is good, brutally violent criminals, including dangerous gangs and cartels, flood city streets with the celebratory stamp of approval of the Regime. Meanwhile, everyday Americans – and particularly those who exercise their fundamental constitutional rights, such as to speak dissident thoughts, worship the Christian God – and Jesus Christ, or bear their arms with pride, are systematically targeted by the Regime, gaslit as domestic terrorists by its propaganda mouthpieces, and kowtowed into social, economic, and even legal submission. FBI agents arbitrarily terrorize innocent Americans, some in the middle of the night, much as the KGB did in Solzhenitsyn’s Soviet Union, who may have at some point questioned the integrity of our elections. Parents who object to their children being indoctrinated with all sorts of toxic creeds at school are being persecuted by a Department of Justice which increasingly resembles Orwell’s Ministry of Truth: that arm of the government concerned with lying and torturing the population, in the name of justice, equality, and patriotism. The fact that some of the greatest injustices are committed under the DOJ’s name, wherein the FBI, too, is lodged, is the ultimate example of doublethink.

America Should Stay Out of Haiti by Daniel Greenfield
After $5 billion in foreign aid, Haiti is worse off than ever.
March 13, 2024 – Since the 2010 earthquake, the United States has provided over $5 billion in aid to Haiti. That doesn’t include Biden’s latest batch of $133 million after gangs took over much of the country.
The $100 million in security assistance announced by Biden is on top of the $312 million that we already provided to fund, train and arm Haiti’s police forces over the last decade and a half.
And with over $400 million in backing, Haiti’s police still can’t compete with gang members. But many of the gang members were once the police officers whom we helped to train.
Jimmy “Barbeque” Cherizier, the leader of the G9 gang which controls the streets and is the most powerful man in Haiti, was a former police officer who had been accused of playing a role in the murder, rape and arsons that burned 400 homes and killed 70 people.
The massacre was perpetrated by former President Jovenel Moïse’s government and by its Ministry of the Interior, which controls the police. The killers, wearing Haitian police uniforms “removed victims, including children, from their homes to be executed and then dragged them into the streets where their bodies were burned, dismembered, and fed to animals.”
The targets were supporters of former ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Since 2020, the Haitian police force has fired around 3,000 members for abandoning their posts and the Biden administration convinced the UN to deploy an international police force. But Kenya, which had agreed to lead the force and send 1,000 of its people, decided to pull out.
That means the United States will be expected to do it. And it won’t be the first time.
Election Jihad: Islamic Groups are hijacking the US Elections Daniel Greenfield
Islamist political machines are transforming states and threatening America and Israel. You can fight back.
Mar 12, 2024, 10:19 PM (GMT+2) – A New Generation of Islamist Political Power
The response in state legislatures to the Hamas Islamic terror attacks of Oct 7 showed how thoroughly Islamists have infiltrated our political system and the threat that they pose.
In Delaware, Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton, the first Muslim elected in Delaware, heckled Vice President Kamala Harris at a Christmas party, demanding that Israel stop attacking Hamas.
After Oct 7, Wilson-Anton posted, “I do not stand with Israel” and warned that, “so long as a government refuses to respect the existence of a people it should expect resistance.”
A new generation of Islamist state legislators like her showed its true colors after Oct 7.
In Ohio, Rep. Munira Abdullahi, newly elected, promoted claims that Israel is “the biggest child-killer in the world”.
In Texas, Rep. Salman Bhojani, the first Muslim elected to the State House, accused Israel of engaging in the “mass killing of Palestinian civilians” during its fight against Hamas and claimed that the Oct 7 Hamas massacres “did not occur in a vacuum”
In Illinois, Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid, the State House’s first Muslim ‘Palestinian’ elected official, accused Israel of “genocidal language” and signed a letter after Oct 7 claiming that “inequality” was at the “root cause of the violence”.
Michigan’s State House of Representatives did not condemn the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 after opposition from House Majority Floor Leader Abraham Aiyash from Hamtramck, the first all-Muslim governed city in the country, who has accused Israel of “genocide” and “apartheid” and held a hunger strike to oppose Israel’s campaign against Hamas.
In Georgia, Rep. Ruwa Romman, a former communications director for CAIR, and the first Muslim ‘Palestinian’ in the George State House, described the Oct 7 attacks as an “escalation” caused by “settler violence and terror aimed at Palestinian business owners”
Rep. Romman argued that a resolution condemning the Hamas atrocities was creating “division” and claimed that Israel’s campaign was “not self defense” “not about hostages” and “not about Hamas”, but about “causing as much damage as possible.
UNRWA: Teaching Palestinian Children to Murder Jews [51:43] By Center for Near East Policy Research
Mar 8, 2024 – David Bedein, head of the Center for Near East Policy Research, has been investigating the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for decades. He discovered that international funding (including from the US) has been paying for textbooks that glorify terrorism and the murder of Jews. Now that it has been proven that UNRWA employees took part in the Hamas-led October 7 massacre of Israelis, Bedein is calling for a unique solution to the UNRWA problem.
[Ed.: Since 1994, IINO has been enabling and condoning Arab children to be educated to killing Jews from the moment of their birth and through their entire school experience. This explains why so many 14-year old suicide attackers think that this is some kind of heroic act. Musloids are supposed to kill us (all). It’s their “religion”. It’s who they are. But, we have no one to blame but ourselves for permitting them to educate their children to be jihadis inside of our so-called “Jewish Homeland”. They can have their Murderous education for their children inside of Arab land, but NOT inside Israel. Israel is thus betraying our Covenant with our Creator and our True Judge who judges us mercifully, although we don’t deserve it…]
liberals can save democracy!
Mar. 12, 2024 10:15 am – Alex Jones just warned President Trump to stop praising the Covid vaccine, after the latest Trump post at TruthSocial over the weekend.
And I agree that Trump praising the Covid vaccine is a big mistake. For a guy who always wins, and loves to negotiate
“win-win” deals, President Trump needs to understand the Covid vaccine is the world’s biggest “lose-lose.”
Stay away from it like a grenade!
Why? Because virtually everyone in America who loves the Covid vaccine…and believes it works…hates Trump and will NEVER, ever, ever vote for him. And they will never give him any credit for the Covid vaccine. Trump is wasting his breath.
But everyone who loves, supports and appreciates Trump (at this point close to 100 million Americans)…and will stand by him through thick and thin…hates the Covid vaccine…believes it’s dangerous and deadly…and believes it’s a either the biggest mistake in healthcare history, or a crime against humanity.
Even more importantly, pretty much every supporter of President Trump says they know someone who has either died, or been badly injured by the Covid vaccine.
That’s why praising the vaxx is a lose-lose. There are no votes to be gained, but many votes could be lost.
Having said all of that, my goal is to always support and defend President Trump. He is the greatest president of my lifetime. More importantly, Trump is our last chance. Trump is the only one who can defeat the Deep State and DC Swamp. If Trump is elected, we save America, and we make America great again. But if Trump is defeated, we lose America forever.
Either Trump wins, or he is the last Republican president ever.
Therefore, my goal is to support President Trump, and find ways to help him win. Even though we disagree on one issue- the Covid jab.
I was the first mainstream TV and radio host to warn about A) The dangers of the Covid vaccine…B) All the deaths, injuries and miscarriages in the vaccine trials…C) All the deaths on the early-warning VAERS list compiled by the CDC…and D) Warn Americans that Big Pharma tried to coverup the trial results for 75 years.
Think about that for a minute. Can you imagine if any other medical product in history showed deaths, injuries and pregnant women miscarrying…and the company told doctors it was fine…and then tried to bury the truth for 75 years?
We also found out recently that the CDC had a memo ready to go public that warned the Covid vaccine causes elevated levels of Myocarditis (damage to your heart). But it was never released. Why? How many Americans died because the CDC withheld the memo? Then, soon thereafter, the CDC put out an announcement urging everyone- including children- to get the latest booster.
Can you imagine if any CEO in America knew a product was deadly, had a warning announcement ready to go, but never released it, and then urged everyone to use their product? That’s called “mass murder.” That CEO would be in prison for life.
Having said all of that, I’m here to always support and help elect President Trump. He should never again praise the vaccine. But he does not need to condemn it either. If he does what I’m about to recommend, all is forgiven, and Trump is elected by a landslide. Here it is…
Palestinians: ‘Revitalized’ Means Unity with Hamas Terrorists by Bassam Tawil
Would the Biden administration like to stop the war this week?
March 12, 2024 at 5:00 am
- For [Palestinian] leaders, revamping the Palestinian Authority means forging an alliance with Hamas by inviting the terror group to be part of a new governing body that would rule the Gaza Strip in the post-war era.
- From Biden’s perspective, it is as though Netanyahu and the Israelis are responsible for the devastation in the Middle East since Hamas’s October 7 carnage, and not Iran, and Hamas’s main sponsor, Qatar, whose “protection money” evidently came “without protection.” As such, it would be no surprise if the Biden administration were to welcome a “Palestinian unity” agreement between Abbas’s Fatah faction and Hamas – a deal that would be no doubt presented to the world as the US-made revitalization plan; in reality, just a tee-up for the next war.
- Would the Biden administration like to stop the war this week?
- All the US would have to do is to inform Qatar that it was cancelling the agreement the Biden administration signed in January — in return for nothing -– to extend for another ten years America’s use of Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the forward headquarters of CENTCOM, and move it to a Middle Eastern country that does not, as Qatar does, have record of supporting Islamic State (ISIS/Da’esh), Hezbollah, al Shabab, the Taliban in Afghanistan and al Qaeda as well as Hamas.
- In addition, the United States could simply tell Qatar that, regrettably, the US has no choice but officially to change Qatar’s designation from “major non-NATO ally,” which it is not, to State Sponsor of Terrorism, which it is. The US could have the war over and all the hostages — not just the Americans — released in a minute.
- The Biden administration — or simply concerned citizens — could also demonstrate with placards advertising Qatar’s support for terrorism, a public relations campaign it might not relish.
- By stationing its forces at Al Udeid Air Base, the US is doing Qatar a monumental favor, not the other way around. Without the US airbase, Qatar is just a rich, extremely vulnerable sandbar, as its rulers are undoubtedly aware.
Netanyahu Vs Biden’s Red Line Brigitte Gabriel
The Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Biden Administration
MAR 12, 2024 ACT FOR AMERICA – Netanyahu hits back at Biden: ‘I’ve got my own red line’ David Isaac | JNS | 3-11-2024 | Condensed
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, responding to recent remarks by U.S. President Joe Biden, said on Sunday that he, too, has a red line:
“You know what the red line is? That October 7 doesn’t happen again.”
The prime minister referred to comments by Biden on March 10, in which he was asked by MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart: “Do you have a red line with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?”
Biden saying only, “You cannot have another 30,000 dead as a consequence [of pursuing Hamas],” citing a figure presented by Hamas for casualties in Gaza [falsely inflated from real estimates of 10K].
The president prefaced that remark by saying, “I’m never going to leave Israel. The defense of Israel is still critical. So there’s no red line [where] I’m going to cut off all weapons so they don’t have the Iron Dome to protect them.”
Of Netanyahu, Biden said, “He is hurting Israel more than he is helping.”
The prime minister, when asked what he thought Biden meant, said, “I don’t know exactly what the president meant, but if he meant by that, that I’m pursuing private policies against the wishes of the majority of Israelis and that this is hurting the interests of Israel then he’s wrong on both counts.”
Netanyahu said that his policies are supported by the vast majority of the Israeli people, who recognize the need to destroy all of Hamas’s battalions in Gaza and that the Palestinian Authority should not be put in charge of Gaza on the day after, given its own support for terrorism.
“[Israelis] also support my position that says that we should resoundingly reject the attempt to ram down our throats a Palestinian state,” Netanyahu said. “So the attempt to say that my policies or my private policies that are not supported by most Israelis is false, and the vast majority are united as never before. And they understand what’s good for Israel,” he added.
[Ed.: Once again, the US are ‘the bad guys’! They are supporting those who intend to kill them, instead of their best allies! Israel would do well to disassociate from them altogether.]
FBI Director Wray warns of southern border smuggling network with ‘ISIS ties’ By Natalia Mittelstadt
“From an FBI perspective, we are seeing a wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said.
March 11, 2024 7:22pm – FBI Director Christopher Wray told senators on Monday that there are “very dangerous threats” coming from the U.S.-Mexico border, including a smuggling network with “ISIS ties.”
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., asked Wray during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Monday regarding threats at the southern border, Fox News reported.
Wray responded, saying, “From an FBI perspective, we are seeing a wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border. And that includes everything from drug trafficking — the FBI alone seized enough fentanyl in the last two years to kill 270 million people — that’s just on the fentanyl side.”
“An awful lot of the violent crime in the United States is at the hands of gangs who are themselves involved in the distribution of that fentanyl,” he added.
Rubio asked about smuggling networks moving people around the world and whether they could have ties to ISIS or other terrorist organizations.
“So, I want to be a little bit careful how far I can go in open session, but there is a particular network that, where some of the overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have ISIS ties that we’re very concerned about and that we’ve been spending enormous amount of effort with our partners investigating. Exactly what that network is up to is something that’s, again, the subject of our current investigation,” Wray said.

What would building an ‘army of Palestine’ look like? By MOSHE PHILLIPS
So what will the Palestine statehood crowd prescribe as the solution? Give them more funds and more weapons, of course. Build them into a full-fledged army, disguised as a “security force.”
MARCH 7, 2024 05:15 – While some advocates of a Palestinian state have been claiming that the state would be demilitarized, others are already making the case for building up a Palestinian army.
A feature in The Washington Post this week warned that the Palestinian Authority’s security forces are not yet big enough or powerful enough for the Palestinian state that the Biden Administration is now advocating. The PA forces are “underfunded and widely unpopular [and] ill-equipped to take on the massive responsibilities that their Western backers are envisioning.”
So what will the Palestine statehood crowd prescribe as the solution? Give them more funds and more weapons, of course. Build them into a full-fledged army, disguised as a “security force.”
The excuse will be that the PA needs the money and guns to fight terrorism. Everyone seems to have forgotten that the PA was supposed to have been fighting terrorism since it was created back in the 1990s by the Oslo Accords – but it never has done the job.
Palestinians would only have “a strong police force”
The first Oslo Agreement, in 1993, stipulated that the Palestinian Arabs would have “a strong police force” (Article VII). It didn’t say anything about the formation of an army. But the Palestinian Authority quickly exploited the opportunity. The original 12,000-man “security force” ballooned to 60,000 – and the international community didn’t say a word.

MUST WATCH – Mark Levin – Full Video of Levin’s Saturday March 9, 2024 [34:04] Bill Narvey
Mark Levin in his program Life, Liberty and Levin last evening made the case that Pres. Biden has long been a serial liar, a racist/bigot, anti-Israel-antisemitic, is for reducing/cancelling social security/medi-care/ and veterans’ benefits, out of touch with the best interests of America and only into his own best interests and that of his Democrat party in their pursuit of power and that while incompetent, he is the manipulated puppet of the likes of former Pres. Obama, a Pres. that in his two terms in office, unquestionably revealed himself to be a Netanyahu hater (which Biden is carrying on with), anti-Israel, antisemitic as well as a number in his own administration who were formerly part of the Obama administration.
Levin however, did not just hurl accusatory opinions against Biden and his administration which is exactly what Biden, the Democrats, their supporters and strategists and the main stream media (MSM) also labeled the legacy media, do against Pres. Trump, the Republicans and their supporters. The left is infamous for projection – ie. accusing those who are on the conservative-right of the political spectrum of what only the left is guilty of.
Levin backed up what he said, citing and providing evidence of historical facts and Biden’s own current words, deeds and policies that leads to only one conclusion. That conclusion is that Biden is a damn liar, racist/bigot/hateful of Netanyahu, anti-Israel-anti-Zionist-antisemitic, in the thrall of the far left of his Democrat party including the members of the Jew-Israel hating Squad and his left wing electoral base which includes many such as the Arab-Muslim citizens of Michigan and Minnesota whose leaders have publicly told Pres. Biden, they would not support him because of his support of Israel.
Furthermore Biden(and his supportive Democrat party) alone is responsible for the disastrous open border policies, the poor economy and inflation that is painfully hitting most Americans as regards the rising costs of food, shelter and energy that is beyond their means, his foreign policies that have made him and America look weak to America’s enemies such as China, Russia and North Korea and the like.
With that, do watch and listen to the solid case that Mark Levin makes against Joe Biden and the Democrat party.
CHAPTER 9: Norman Dodd Interview by Linda Goudsmit
Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier––Reality Is [upcoming release April 2024]
March 10, 2024 – Globalism is a replacement ideology that seeks to reorder the world into one singular, planetary Unistate, ruled by the globalist elite. The globalist war on nation-states cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The long-term strategic attack plan moves America incrementally from constitutional republic to socialism to globalism to feudalism. The tactical attack plan uses asymmetric psychological and informational warfare to destabilize Americans and drive society out of objective reality into the madness of subjective reality. America’s children are the primary target of the globalist predators.
The philosophical rationalization and justification for Barack Obama’s shift to Outcome-Based Education (OBE) was presented by John W. Gardner in the 1950s. Gardner served concurrent tenures as president of both the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (CFAT) and the Carnegie Corporation[i] in the mid-1950s.
In 1961 Gardner published Excellence: Can We Be Equal and Excellent Too? The book is a reflection on American excellence that debates the relative merits of focusing on equality and focusing on excellence, and asks if it is possible for society to do both.
Our Founding Fathers advocated meritocracy, a system based on ability, achievement, and equal opportunity. They understood that equality of opportunity achieves excellence. Gardner examines an alternative theory that focuses on equality of outcome, also known as equity, and argues that the goals of excellence and equity are not incompatible.
Watch: Dana Carvey’s Ruthlessly Accurate Biden Impression Cracks Up David Spade and Producers By Allison Anton
Mar. 9, 2024 8:00 pm – Who knew Dana Carvey had such a devastatingly accurate impression of our senile commander in chief, the one and only Joe Biden?
Clearly, neither Carvey’s comedian buddy David Spade nor the crew of their Superfly podcast did, if this video shared on the social media platform X is any indication.
A few minutes into their Feb. 9 episode, Spade asked Carvey, a comedian and actor best known for his stint on SNL, about his comedy gigs. “Do you do impressions or straight standup?”
Carvey, in response, said, “impressions are the best — quick and fast.”
In fact, he told Spade, referring to his last gig, “I started with Biden, because the border’s all the rage now.”
Carvey then described how he started by depicting the president in 2021, shortly after he took office. “I did Biden, three years ago, and he’s at a press conference.”
First playing the part of a news reporter, Carvey threw out a question: “Mr. President, do you have any idea of how you’re going to handle the crisis at the border?”
Then Carvey, mimicking Biden, responded, “First of all, let’s get our facts straight. There’s no crisis at the border. C’mon!” with the same sleepy eyes and tone of voice identical to what we’ve come to associate with our geriatric president.
Spade began cracking up as Carvey, back to playing the reporter, asked, “How do you know, sir?”
Again putting on his best Biden persona, Carvey held up something in his hand. “’Cause it says so on the piece of paper. C’mon!” He began to ramble and trail off in a Bidenesque way: “It’s says on the paper … says on the paper, right there!”
Fast-forwarding to the present day, Carvey provided background context, explaining that now, “everyone’s screaming to close the border.”
Responding as a pompous, blustering 2024 Biden, Carvey then declared, “I’ll close the border! I’ll close the border harder than anyone’s ever closed the border! I know how to close borders. C’mon on, Jack!”
Breaking away to demonstrate the confused looks on reporters’ faces, Carvey said, “The press is like, ‘But last time …’”
Carvey-as-Biden responded by going into a full-on Uncle Joe rant, starting off loud but then petering off into a slurring, rambling, train wreck: “Get your facts straight! I’ll beat the hell out of ya. Whatta ya, dog-face pony soldier … C’mon! Let’s do some push-ups!”
Accepting Muslim violence during Ramadan insults the majority of world Muslims – opinion By DAVID M. WEINBERG
It is equally true that Ramadan frequently has been celebrated with an orgy of Muslim, especially Palestinian, violence. Ramadan is exploited as an excuse for ramped-up holy war against Israel.
MARCH 9, 2024 16:52 – It would be nice if Palestinian Muslims in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and Gaza would approach Ramadan – which begins this weekend – as intended by their religion: as a month of fasting, charity, prayer, contrition, and reflection.
Many devout Muslims do so, but it is equally true that Ramadan frequently has been celebrated with an orgy of Muslim, especially Palestinian, violence. Ramadan is exploited as an excuse for ramped-up holy war against Israel.
Those with long memories will remember that Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack against Israel on Yom Kippur 1973 – during the month of Ramadan. In many Arab circles, it is still called the “Ramadan War.” Somehow the prayer, contrition, and reflection did not inhibit that sneak attack that slaughtered 2,700 Israelis.
Neither did the fasting. Egyptian and Syrian soldiers were given an exemption from fasting because they were engaged in the religious duty of killing infidels, the category that Jews are in.
[Ed.: I’ve lived through many Ramadans, and never once have I heard a word of objection to Moslem violence from any corner, even a minority of Moslems. Islam IS the insult. The title to this article makes no sense.]
