With nearly 30,000 Palestinians killed by Israel and Gaza, America’s support for the Jewish state is being tested more than ever. Now the U.S. has found itself in the position of having to vote against a ceasefire resolution for the third time. Obviously this level of support is unsustainable given the ongoing genocide.
Nativists and xenophobes appalled by the “open border” policy that has allowed millions of asylum seekers to enter the United States often harken to a nonexistent history when immigrants followed the rules and waited to be invited before entering the U.S. However, Ellis Island was exactly like Eagle Pass, Texas today; German, Irish, Italian and other immigrants were allowed in en masse, without visas, and became the great-grandparents of the vast majority of citizens today.
At the same time the U.S. is supplying weapons and cash to Israel to arm and fund its war against Gaza, it is dropping food supplies to the Gazans who are starving as a result.
President Joe Biden’s dog was involved in dozens of biting incidents in the White House yet he refused to get rid of him. Finally now he’s gone too far and he’s been sent to live with unspecified relatives. The dog, not Biden.
Finding it hard to get excited about your next date with democracy? You may be suffering from Electoral Dysfunction.
Biden’s defenders brush off his support for right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s carpet-bombing of Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians. There can only be one reason why.
Anti-Trump #Resistance members say they’re demoralized by their long fight against MAGA Republicans. Considering what members of actual Resistance fighters had to go through–executions, torture, reprisals against their family members, poverty, being sent to death camps–the minor annoyances these snowflakes report after doing basically nothing since 2016 (unless you count attending one or two rallies) don’t even begin to pale in significance. The least they could do is to stop insulting the memories of actual Resistance fighters by comparing their lame selves to real heroes.
You’ve heard the claim that Joe Biden is with it behind closed doors, that it’s only in public that the president seems confused or senile. Similar things have been said about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. What if they’re true?
Team Biden responds to concerns that the president may be senile with assurances that, behind the scenes, Biden is energetic and sharp. We don’t get to see that, of course…not that we get to see much of the Leader of the Free World at all. Maybe it’s time for Team Trump to deploy their own version of “you don’t know him the way I know him” argument.
Parents used to try to diminish their children’s complaints about dealing with inclement weather by claiming that they had it even worse when they were young. Climate change renders that time-honored tactic impractical.
