“Human rights” Council, packed with some of the worst abusers on earth. An illegitimate farce of a body. The Trump administration was 100% right to pull the US out of this embarrassment: Biden put us back in. There is no benefit, only humiliation. https://t.co/4Gm3fSoePS
Actually watch this video. It's even worse than you'd think, based solely on the utterly pitiful caption. It's a sustained *attack on Israel,* in response to a brutal terrorist attack on Israel, spending much more time assailing the "occupation" than acknowledging the victims. https://t.co/Jncp0bTls2
The UN Human Rights Council can’t even say “Israel” after a horrific and historic terror attack against Israel – perfectly validating everyone’s criticisms of this nakedly corrupt money laundering operation. https://t.co/Y5alrh7147
The FBI is a joke too. Hunting down parading GrandMas while terrorist supporters walk about freely, and continue to flow over our open southern border.
MACCALLUM: "151 people on the terror watchlist have crossed our southern border […] what is being done to lock down those individuals who now are somewhere in the United States?"

NEW: Internal CBP data provided & confirmed by CBP sources reveals thousands of “special interest aliens” from mostly Middle Eastern countries have been apprehended by Border Patrol while crossing into U.S. illegally over last 2 years.
“NEW: Internal CBP data provided & confirmed by CBP sources reveals thousands of “special interest aliens” from mostly Middle Eastern countries have been apprehended by Border Patrol while crossing into U.S. illegally over last 2 years.
These are Border Patrol apprehensions between ports of entry only, this data does not include CBP encounters at ports of entry.
Border Patrol sources tell me they have extreme concerns about who is coming into the country because they have little to no way of vetting people from these special interest countries. I’m told unless they have committed a crime previously in the US, or they are on some sort of federal watchlist, there’s no way to know who they are because most of their home countries don’t share data/records with the US so there is nothing to match a name to when BP agents run fingerprints.
A special interest alien is a term used by the U.S. government to refer to people coming from countries that have conditions that favor or harbor terrorism, or pose a potential national security to the U.S.”
We undertook the maximum economic pressure campaign and crippling, historic sanctions on Iran. No war and they stayed below 4% enrichment.
We recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. No war.
We eliminated Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al Muhandis (and Abu Bakr al Baghdadi). No war.
The results? Iran isolated under crippling sanctions reducing their capacity to threaten the region, and historic peace brokered between Israel and its neighbors via the Abraham Accords. 🕊
Two years after Biden took office Iran is enriching over 60%, they’re two weeks from sufficient material for a nuclear weapon, Sudan fell into a civil war, and Israel just experienced the greatest loss of life in a single day since the holocaust.
In seeking to avoid conflict, it is upon us. By embracing our enemy and spurning our friends it will not be easily contained.
The media made sure everyone knew who the (8) R's were that sided with Gaetz, so it's up to us to let everyone know who the (8) leftist democrats are that sided with Hamas today pic.twitter.com/kwfXZsdaUf
Wake Up, Washington
A second regional war, first Ukraine and now Israel, calls for an urgent bipartisan defense effort.
~ At least 11 Americans were among the hundreds killed in the weekend attack in Israel, which has begun striking back at Hamas.
The invasion, planned with an assist from Iran, ought to wake up both parties in Washington. The world is awash in threats that will inevitably wash up on our shore if America doesn’t get its act together. …
… The larger context is that the U.S. and its allies now face two regional wars provoked by rogue states that are increasingly aligned. Israel and Ukraine are on the front lines, but the risk of an expanded conflict is real. Iran is feeding weapons into Vladimir Putin’s invasion in Ukraine. Mr. Putin is a junior partner of the Chinese Communist Party, which could try to exploit the moment in the Pacific.
The strategic and political point is that the return of war against Israel isn’t an isolated event. It’s the latest installment in the unraveling of global order as American political will and military primacy are called into question. …
… The President now has an obligation to increase the defense budget and stop treating the U.S. military as a political wedge to feed the American welfare state. For three years Mr. Biden has proposed cuts in defense spending after inflation, even as the world has become more dangerous. …
… Mr. Biden will need bipartisan help in a crisis. That means working with Sens. Mitch McConnell (see nearby) and Tom Cotton, Reps. Mike Gallagher and Michael McCaul, and other Republicans who are serious about U.S. security.
As for Republicans in Congress, they will have to get serious about governing and elect a new Speaker with dispatch. They need to isolate the Steve Bannon acolytes who treat shutting down the government for no good reason like a personal power play. Americans may be among Hamas’s hostages, and the GOP should support Mr. Biden if he sends a military mission to rescue them. The world needs to see that the U.S. can unite in a common security purpose.
If Mr. Biden does reach out to build a bipartisan coalition on U.S. military spending and foreign policy, Republicans should welcome it. They can influence him in the right direction rather than descend into partisan opposition like some have on support for Ukraine. …
… The growing global disorder is a result in part of American retreat, not least Mr. Biden’s departure from Afghanistan that told the world’s rogues the U.S. was preoccupied with its internal divisions. But too many Republicans are also falling for the siren song of isolationism and floating a defense cut in the name of fiscal restraint. The Hamas invasion should blow up dreams the U.S. can “focus on China” and write off other parts of the world.
Donald Trump didn’t rebuild U.S. defenses as much as he claims, and his political competitors should say so. Former Vice President Mike Pence was correct when he said over the weekend that the awful scenes abroad are what happens when political leaders are “signaling retreat from America’s role as leader of the free world.” Nikki Haley sounded similar notes.
They seem to know what time it is. The rest of Washington needs an alarm clock. ~
