LOS ANGELES.–After threatening 74-year-old Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stay out of Rafah, 81-year-old President Joe Biden and 59-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris now congratulate him for taking out the mastermind of Oct. 7, 62-year-old Yahya Sinwar. Biden and Harris were so adamant about keeping Israel out of Rafah, it was like they were working for Hamas. Kamala said at at the time “she knows the maps,” concerned that any Rafah operation by Israeli Defense Forces [IDF] would cause thousands of civilian deaths. Whatever the reasons, Biden and Harris are all smiles now that Sinwar was eliminated. Biden and Kamala see everything between now and the election as a political calculation, hoping a ceasefire agreement would propel Kamala to victory Nov. 5. Now Biden and Kamala congratulate Netanyahu for a job well done getting Sinwar.
Sounds much like the 2020 presidential campaign when Biden and Harris said they would never trust any vaccine developed under Trump. Trump launched operation Warp Speed to develop a new vaccine to deal with the deadly novel coronavirus. Biden and Kamala told voters that no vaccine was close to release, working feverishly with 83-year-old former Covid czar Dr. Anthony Fauci and 81-year-old Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward to discredit Trump’s management of the Covid-19 crisis. Woodward insists that if Trump handled the Covid-19 pandemic properly, he would have been elected by a landslide. Well, Fauci and Woodward played Democrat political hacks to sabotage Trump’s chances of reelection, something barely talked about in the press. Woodward claimed that had Trump handed the Covid crisis differently, he would have been reelected.
Fauci and Woodward worked at Democrat hacks in the 2020 election to undermine Trump’s campaign. Biden and Kamala said they would never trust a Trump vaccine but readily took credit for it once Pfizer released the first mRNA vaccines one week after the 2020 election. When it comes to the Hamas War, Biden and Kamala have made the situation far worse for Netanyahu prosecuting what military experts see as an impossible mission against an implacable terrorist enemy. Now that Netanyahu got Sinwar, Joe and Kamala want to share in the glory, even though it doesn’t mean the war ends. “We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake,” Harris told ABC News back in May. “Let me tell you something, I have studied the maps. There ‘s nowhere for those folks to go,” Kamala said.
All the mistakes and mismanagement of wars in Ukraine and now the Middle East prove that Biden and Kamala don’t know what’s they’re doing. If they just deferred to Netanyahu’s superior judgment of the Hamas enemy, they wouldn’t make so many embarrassing blunders, now leading voters to think that Kamala is not fit for primetime. “If they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapon that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities—that deal with the problem,” Biden said, sounding incoherent. Biden and Kamala have tried to pander to Muslim voters in Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin, pretending to support the wishes of the progressive Arabs. As of recently, many Muslim voters are completely turned off to Biden and Kamala for supplying Israel with the deadly weapons needed to prosecute its war with Hamas and Hezbollah.
Biden and Kamala would have been far better off just backing Israel without conditions so when something good happens, like Sinwar’s death, they can show they’re on the same team. But all political games, trying to pander to Arabs in the Upper Midwest, have backfired, making Kamala look like she’s not ready for primetime. When it comes to Ukraine, Kamala has backed Biden’s proxy war with Kremlin, knowing that it wrecks U.S.-Russian relations for the foreseeable future. Kamala can’t explain how she plans to get back to nuclear nonproliferation and arms control when she’s at war with the Kremlin. Former President Donald Trump has been clear that he will not support Biden’s blank check with Ukraine and would seek an urgent end to the Ukraine War. Kamala has already committed to continuing the proxy war into the indefinite future, leaving arms control dead.
Biden and Kamala can’t stop playing politics with U.S. foreign policy and national security, leaving voters insecure about the future. Trump has been perfectly clear he intends to shut down the Ukraine War and find an urgent end to the Mideast wars. Since the June 27 debate that displayed Biden’s cognitive decline, he’s not trusted by the public to make any domestic or foreign policy decisions. Kamala says she differs from Biden on key issues but shows she’s on the same page when it comes to Ukraine. Kamala continues, like Hillary did in 2016, to accuse Trump of inappropriate relations with Putin and other dictators around the planet. As the election draws closer, Democrat talking points all seem fake. Growing numbers of independent voters have started to lean toward Trump because Kamala hasn’t given any specifics about dealing with the economy and foreign policy.
