Flotsam and Jetsam - Hamas Wages War, Did Biden Pay For It?

I can't recall how many times in my life the Middle East has been at war but I clearly recall the 6-day war when I was in Junior High School, and as always, the reports are horrific. Stacy McCain, Hamas Attacks Israel "EXPECT UPDATES . . ." Curious how this one happened shortly after the Biden administration gave Iran, the major supporter of Hamas, $6 billion. From the Free Bacon, Biden Admin Raised Concerns Palestinian Aid Would Boost Hamas. It Went Ahead With Aid Anyway. "Internal docs show Biden admin knew there was a 'high risk' Hamas would benefit from U.S. aid."  At Twitchy, NSC spox appalled by assumptions a top state sponsor of terror used the $6 billion to fund terror. Insty, OH, THERE’S A SURPRISE: White House Comms Shop Fumbles Israeli Attacks Statement. “Iran, as we all know, funds Hamas. President Biden released SIX BILLION DOLLARS to Iran three weeks ago. The older I get, the harder it is for me to believe in coincidences.” Yes, I know, the money has not been delivered yet, in theory, but just knowing you're getting it can change your behavior.

John Kass sees a Dem Panic as Biden Reverses Himself on Trump’s Border Wall. Amac thinks Biden Using Border Disaster As Campaign Stunt. So does the President of Mexico, as Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair reports AMLO accuses Biden, says new border wall is "pure publicity." At Da Mail,  Biden-appointed WFH bureaucrat with ties to open border advocates accused of turning immigration enforcement into 'social services' amid corruption probe. Personnel is policy. Jeff Anderson at CJ asks is Biden's border policy  Impeachable? "Joe Biden’s refusal, as president, to enforce immigration law and secure the nation’s border deserves as much scrutiny as his behavior as vice president."

Anxious anxiously warns Get ready for 8% mortgages. From Breitbart, a Fact Check: Biden Falsely Claims Americans Are Better Off and They Know It. Chris Datoc at WaEx hears Biden blames the press for his underwater economic polling, for reporting the truth. Stuff Hat Hair finds on TwitterX, Interest on the national debt is now the second largest item in the budget. What could go wrong? 

Jon Levin at NYPo, Hunter Biden’s daughter Naomi ‘vandalized’ US Capitol while a Senate Page — which led to groveling apology. Biden's doing a worse job on the whole nation.

From NewsMax, Rep. Jordan to Newsmax: I Can Unify Republicans as Speaker. At JTN, just thinkin' What if? The potential ripple effect of a Jim Jordan House speakership. "Jordan, current chair of the House Judiciary Committee, and Steve Scalise, the current House majority leader, have each publicly declared their candidacy for House speaker. What might House leadership look like under each of these scenarios?" The Free Bacon explains Why Donald Trump Is Backing Jim Jordan for Speaker Over Steve Scalise. Calls Scalise a "close talker." "Steve had been acting like an 'obsessed fan' with no concept of personal space." Hat Hair's KT reports House Speaker forum with FNC's Bret Baier cancelled after leak emerged on Capitol Hill. At ET, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries Wants Bipartisan Coalition Governing the House. Of course he does, but would he, if their situations were reversed? Of course not!

PM, RCP average shows Trump leading Biden by 1.1 point, DeSantis trailing by 2.5 in hypothetical head to head match ups. So much for the electability argument. Becky Noble at RedState thinks Never Trumpers Beginning to See the Writing on the Wall—That GOP Nomination Is Trump's to Lose. Never-Anybody-but-Trump sundance at CTH crows Local Florida News Station Broadcasts Reality of DeSantis Campaign

Schadenfreude at Breitbart, Rob Reiner Panics over Robert Kennedy Jr.’s Third Party Run. BPR reports Citing anonymous sources, report claims Team Trump ready to set sights on RFK Jr. So he does see him as a threat. 

Politico points out Newsom vetoes a proposed ban on caste discrimination in California, "The governor said the bill is unnecessary because caste discrimination is already prohibited under existing civil rights protections." Beege Welborn quips "He’s running."

Althouse obsesses over the window curtains in "Iowa Democrats will surrender their first-in-the-nation caucuses next year, party officials said Friday..." ""... while Democrats in New Hampshire — still fighting with the Democratic National Committee — moved closer to holding a rogue primary."

At Da Caller, ‘Just Overkill’: Jonathan Turley Says New York AG ‘Hell Bent’ On Destroying Trump’s Companies. No duh! Althouse, "It is in a world of glaring clarity, self-assurance and high-wire prosecution work that [Jack] Smith has positioned himself in his long career." ""A question that hovers over him is whether the moral clarity is always clear to everyone else. Does he sometimes see wrongdoing when it isn’t there? Or is it that the juries and judges who have disagreed with him simply failed to see what seemed so obvious to him?"

From Mediaite, Republican CNN Analyst Rips Hillary Clinton’s ‘Inappropriate’ Deprogramming Remark: ‘Don’t Go After People in Middle America’. Da Caller claims an EXCLUSIVE: Gaetz To Introduce Legislation To Combat ‘Widespread Abuse’ Of National Security Clearances. An issue, but not the biggest. His aim is to prevent something like the 50 spies how signed the Hunter Biden letter. Hat Hair's Dave Strom points out Yes, intelligence agencies work against their own governments and Jazz Shaw updates an old but interesting story,  New witnesses in the FBI Civil War gold heist emerge

Given all we’ve learned about the FBI in the past few years, they have used up any benefit of the doubt that I might have previously given them. I still firmly believe that they found six tons of gold, they stole it, and now they’re trying to cover it up. But if so, where did the gold go? If they had turned it over to the Treasury Department there would be a record of it. Six tons of gold doesn’t simply appear without people noticing. If they sold it, there should be records of that also. This entire story stinks to high heaven and the public deserves some much better and more believable answers than we’ve been getting thus far.

Are they saving it somewhere to use in their war against Trump and MAGA?

At the Brownstone, The High Stakes in the Legal Battle for Free Speech. At NotTheBee, This Florida school-board member is facing a petition to be fired after he shared a Babylon Bee story (for real!)

Da Caller sees a ‘Tidal Wave’: More And More Detransitioners Are Taking The Fight To The Doctors Who Ruined Their Lives. Good, bleed 'em dry! From Da Wire, L.A. School District Indoctrinates 5-Year-Olds With Celebration Of LGBTQ Values 'Jazz Jennings' Day.' Althouse reads WaPoo, "Cal Calamia is a nonbinary runner who is taking testosterone as part of his transition and was granted an unexpected exemption from the U.S. Anti-Doping agency." "WaPo reports. There is now a "nonbinary" category in running, and Calamia argued that it didn't make sense to create this division to be inclusive and then to regard "gender-affirming medical care" as "doping."" Nothing to do with "gender-affirming care" makes sense. Jazz Shaw, Scientists: Lots of animals are gay, you know. Breitbart cites Navratilova who Rips Australia Gymnastics for Allowing Men to Compete Against Women: ‘What Is wrong with You Guys??’
