WATCH: Joe Biden bungling Israel

President Joe Biden is proving himself to be no friend to Israel, and that is leaving the Jewish people in a state of peril.

Biden and Netanyahu spoke Monday, May 6, 2024, a White House official and National Security Council spokesperson said, as Israel appeared closer to launching an offensive on the southern Gaza city of Rafah. That move is staunchly opposed by the U.S. on humanitarian grounds. (AP Photo)

Biden’s turn from Israel crashing world into chaos

Israel is still trying to kill an enemy that is determined to wipe its people off the face of the map. And Joe Biden, and the global governments, and the politicians of the West are trying to tell Israel to stand down, strike a deal with the terrorists and learn to live peacefully side by side with them. Love it or lump it.

Stormy Daniels a steamy ‘wag the dog’ distraction from Biden’s failures

Stormy Daniels gave steamy testimony during the trial of Donald Trump, and while it did little to dent the fact the former president simply paid legal fees -- and by law, that's not hush money -- fact is, the ex-porn star provided a valuable service to Democrats: She turned attention from Joe Biden's many, many failures.

Democrats cleaning House with Republican saps

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who also heads up the Democratic Caucus, bragged to CBS that his party may not hold the official positions of leadership in the House -- but that it doesn't really matter. "We effectively have been governing," he said, "as if we were in the majority." Cue flaming fire emojis.

Biden’s biggest donors? The ones funding anti-Israel protests

Some of the biggest donors to Joe Biden's presidential campaign are one and the same as those funding the anti-Israel demonstrations on America's college campuses. Politico, which reported on the matter, calls that "surprising." Most everyone else calls that "no duh."

South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem attends an event on Jan. 10, 2024, at the state Capitol in Pierre, S.D. The Guardian has obtained a copy of Noem's soon-to-be-released book, where she writes about killing an unruly dog, and a smelly goat, too. She writes, according to the Guardian, that the tale was included to show her willingness to do anything "difficult, messy and ugly." (AP Photo/Jack Dura)

Kristi Noem shot a dog. Democrats kill babies.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem shot a dangerous dog. Democrats demand the right for women to abort their babies whenever they want, however many times they want, for whatever reason they want. These two things, while both resulting in deaths, are not mutually comparable.

Illegals are totally destroying America’s health system

With Joe Biden as president, and open borders as his policy, what's happening in Florida, what's predicted in California, is spreading quickly to all states. And more than the immediate financial burden to citizens, it's the mainstreaming of the idea of giving health care to illegals that's the bigger problem.

Judge Merchan — fine this!

Oh please, please, pretty please -- pleeeaase, Judge Merchan, throw Trump in jail. We can't wait for the t-shirts and coffee cups -- and ballots.

Columbia is emboldening spread of antisemitic cancer

You can't cure antisemitism. It's a cancer, and you have to cut it out and carve it away before it spreads and causes even more harm. A simple order to the National Guard would do the trick.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., speaks at the Capitol in Washington, Feb. 29, 2024. House Democrats on Tuesday, March 12, 2024, launched a long-shot effort to push $95 billion in aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan to a vote. The move ramps up pressure on Johnson to take up the foreign funding package. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)

Democrats and their Ukraine-loving, foreign-flag-waving antics

Scores of Democrats, on the heels of a vote to pass a foreign aid package, cheered Speaker Mike Johnson -- a story in itself, dontcha think? -- and then celebrated their victory over Republicans by waving Ukraine flags madly in the air. Dems get so patriotic when it comes to other countries.

America’s college antisemitism is the Democrat Party’s shame

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates called the recent student protests on college campuses in America "blatantly antisemitic" and then condemned them "in the strongest terms" as "despicable." Well, the Democrat Party ought to know. It's the Democrat Party that created this madness.

Gen Z-ers see Hamas, not Israel, as victims

Fully one-third of Generation Z voters -- those between 18 and 24 years old -- say Israel doesn't have a right to exist as a nation. That's according to a new survey from RMG Research for Summit.org. And that explains all the antisemitic ignorance dotting America's higher places of learning in recent months.

Biden economy strikes again with locks on drilling, mining

President Joe Biden's administration just put a lock on oil, gas and mining operations on millions of acres of Alaska land, leading Interior to deny a road-building permit for those who hoped to tap into $7.5 billion worth of copper deposits -- and all of America's competitors and enemies go, yay.

Trump gag order should concern all Americans

Donald Trump faces fines for violating a gag order imposed by a politically charged judge at the request of a politically charged district attorney, and a whole bunch of ignorant people in America think that's A-OK. Wake up and smell the tyranny.

WATCH: Meet the true victims of Hamas terror — and it ain’t Palestinians

Six hundred Israeli soldiers have died and thousands more been injured since October 7, when Hamas attacked the Jewish nation and the IDF was activated to root out and kill the terrorists. That's according to the latest stats from the IDF. But sadly, most all the media go: What about the poor Palestinian children?

Biden is bad for America, bad for Israel, bad all around

President Biden has ruined America's economy, wreaked havoc at America's borders and destroyed America's respect on the international stage, first by bungling Afghanistan and then by emboldening terrorists to take up arms against America's greatest ally, Israel. On epic fails, Biden is perfect.
