Biden, Trudeau And Sunak Are Quick To Condemn Russian Attack On Ukraine But Silent On Israeli Attack On Gaza!

Russia launched a deadly attack in Kiev, Ukraine. Biden condemns it. The calls of hypocrisy grow towards Biden and European leaders.

The President of the United States along with the Prime Ministers of Canada and Great Britain are stark raving mad. President Joe Biden is toast come 2024. He literally showed the world leaders that he is totally one sided when it comes to atrocities committed by foreign nations.

The Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.

The state department said on Friday that the secretary of state, Antony Blinken, had told Congress that he had made a second emergency determination covering a $147.5m sale for equipment, including fuses, chargers and primers, that is needed to make the 155mm shells that Israel has already purchased function.

“Given the urgency of Israel’s defensive needs, the secretary notified Congress that he had exercised his delegated authority to determine an emergency existed necessitating the immediate approval of the transfer,” the department said.

“The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to US national interests to ensure Israel is able to defend itself against the threats it faces,” it said

Insane they react to a mad dictator's military doing a war crime. Only if it's a geopolitical enemy. But when it's an ally, they claim it's self-defense.

Ukraine faced its worst attack since Russia invaded it in Feb. 2022. Russia launched 122 missiles and dozens of drones against Ukrainian targets, officials said Friday, killing at least 30 civilians across the country in what an air force official called the biggest aerial barrage of the war.

At least 144 people were wounded and an unknown number were buried under rubble during the roughly 18-hour onslaught, Ukrainian officials said. A maternity hospital, apartment blocks and schools were among the buildings reported damaged across Ukraine.

In the capital, Kyiv, broken glass and mangled metal littered city streets. Air raid and emergency service sirens wailed as plumes of smoke drifted into a bright blue sky.

President Joe Biden said in a statement that the bombardment shows Russian President Vladimir Putin must be stopped, “but unless Congress takes urgent action in the new year, we will not be able to continue sending the weapons and vital air defense systems Ukraine needs to protect its people. Congress must step up and act.”

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the attack should stir the world to further action in support of Ukraine.

“These widespread attacks on Ukraine’s cities show Putin will stop at nothing to achieve his aim of eradicating freedom and democracy,” Sunak said on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. “We must continue to stand with Ukraine — for as long as it takes.”

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Russia’s attack “in the strongest terms” and said attacks against civilians are unacceptable and must end immediately, according to a statement.

Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are war criminals. They will not rest until they eradicate their enemies.

But soon, they will meet their maker. I am sure of it.

Biden, Donald J. Trump, Congress and AIPAC are threats to the world. Their blind loyalty to Israel will lead the world to war and on top of that, we are close to civil war at home.

Trump is instigating more violence and chaos if he retakes power.

Israel will be held accountable for its actions. Russia will be held accountable for its actions. Biden will pay a price for his support of Israel.

Ohio Republicans Fume At Mike DeWine After He Vetoed Anti-Transgender Bill! 🏳️‍⚧️

The one moment that Republican Mike DeWine found a conscience.

Ohio legislators could focus on fixing roads, highways, bridges, railroads and waterways.

They could pass a gun reform law to stop gun violence in the state. But alas, they rather focus on Ohioans who want to live their identified gender. Impose discrimination and transphobia to win over the religious extremists.

And you wonder why Ohio lost population and a crucial congressional district?

I am serious, why are conservatives obsessed with gay and transgender people?

Why are conservatives obsessed with sex?

Are they scared they might like a person who identifies as transgender?

Are they in a sexless relationship at home?

There's not enough sex in the champagne room?

Matter of fact, they probably have a family member or friend who identifies as LGBTQ.

So why can't they mind their goddamn business?

Ohio Republicans passed a bill that banned transgender girls and women from playing sports, sex changing and banning gender affirming care for children under 18.

Taking away a life or death decision which is a freedom of itself because you want to impose religious freedom.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed a measure Friday that would have banned gender-affirming care for minors, casting the action out of step with many in his own party as thoughtful, limited and “pro-life.”

Amy Schneider, a famous Jeopardy! champion and writer speaks on behalf of Ohio residents who identify as LGBTQ.

He simultaneously announced plans to move to administratively ban transgender surgeries until a person is 18, and to position the state to better regulate and track gender-affirming treatments in both children and adults.

At a news conference, DeWine said he hoped the hybrid approach could win the support of legislative Republicans — who immediately signaled they’re considering a veto override — as well as serve as a national model to states, as gender-affirming care restrictions enacted across the country in recent years face lawsuits.

The vetoed bill also would have banned transgender athletes’ participation in girls’ and women’s sports.

DeWine said he listened to people on both sides of the legislation who all “sincerely and truly believe their position best protects children,” ultimately deciding he could not support legislation that bans healthcare so many patients, families and doctors told him is saving lives.

“Ultimately, these tough, tough decisions should not be made by the government. They should not be made by the state of Ohio,” DeWine said. “They should be made by the people who love these kids the most, and that’s the parents. The parents who have raised that child, the parents who have seen that child go through agony, the parents who worry about that child every single day of their life.”

The governor’s veto drew swift rebukes Friday from supporters of gender-affirming care bans, both in the state and nationally.

Republican Bernie Moreno, a Trump-endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate, and Center for Christian Virtue President Aaron Baer both called on the Legislature to override his veto.

“Mike DeWine has failed Ohio, and it’s our children who are going to pay the price,” Baer said in a statement.

Terry Schilling, president of the conservative American Principles Project, said in a statement that DeWine had succumbed to “egregious lies” being perpetuated about transgender care. He said history would remember that DeWine “gave into cowardice and caved to the transgender industry that is preying on so many vulnerable individuals.”

The conservative Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom called DeWine’s veto a betrayal.

Republican state Rep. Gary Click, the bill’s sponsor, stopped short of supporting a veto override. He commended DeWine for trying to wrap his mind around a complex problem in a short amount of time, while defending his own years of research on the bill. Click said he was particularly disappointed that the ban on transgender girls playing sports could be sidelined if non-legislative solutions were pursued on gender-affirming care.

Republican Senate President Matt Huffman and GOP Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens both expressed disappointment, defending lawmakers’ extensive work on the legislation. Stephens said his chamber is weighing its options with regard to beginning the veto override process.

House Democrats said the legislation was based on hate and DeWine’s veto supported “fundamental freedom” and parental rights. Senate Democratic Leader Nickie Antonio, the first openly gay person to serve in the Ohio General Assembly, said her party would continue its fight “until all may enjoy the freedom to live their authentic lives without government interference.”

Riley Gaines Barker, the disgraced college swimmer had a role in Ohio passing the anti-trans bill.

The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ rights organization, and the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Ohio chapter also lauded the veto as a positive for some of the state’s most vulnerable youth.

It was a moment of relief for Alicia and Aaron Burkle, parents from Cleveland to Astrid, a 10-year-old transgender girl. The family had been looking into options -- even considering leaving Ohio -- if gender-affirming care was banned. Since the legislation reached his desk, they, along with their friends and family, have been calling and emailing their concerns.

“It’s just been constant action,” Alicia Burkle said. “So to just sit down and listen to his message and hear that he actually listens to families like ours and heard our stories -- it actually sounded like he listened.”

It’s not a complete win, though, Aaron Burkle said: “We’re breathing a sigh of relief today, but there’s already been a lot of damage done to our community, to families like ours. And we know that this issue is not yet completely resolved.”

The vetoed bill would have prohibited Ohio minors from receiving gender reassignment surgery, but also from taking puberty blockers or undergoing other hormone therapies. It would have allowed those already undergoing treatments to continue, however.

DeWine directed state agencies to begin the rule-making process to: restrict gender-affirming surgeries to adults only, to set up a system for tracking the gender-affirming treatments both minor and adult Ohioans are undergoing; and to prevent “pop-up clinics or fly-by-night operations” from deceptive practices surrounding gender-affirming care.

The governor said a small number of Ohio children would have been affected by the bill, “but for those children who face gender dysphoria, and for their families, the consequences of this bill could not be more profound.” He said he could think of no example where state law overrules the medical decisions of not only parents, but also the medical judgment of a child’s treating physician and medical team.

DeWine said he does not see that position as inconsistent with his opposition to November’s Issue 1, a successful abortion rights amendment whose backers similarly argued that government has no place in individuals’ personal reproductive decisions.

“On the abortion issue, I believe that’s a question of life and protecting human life,” the governor said. “I believe, ultimately, my decision here was ultimately made about protecting life, and that is the lives of these children

The Zionists And Right Rage Over Protests Inside A Holocaust Museum!

The right to protest injustices.

Protests and boycotts against something is the freedoms we have here as Americans.

Whether its loved or hated, it's protected under the First Amendment.

Listen to how they react to a planned protest at the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washingto, DC. They claim it is sacred and disrespectful to hold protests in accordance to the conflict between Israel-Hamas. Again, claims that protests against Israel amount to antisemitism.

Not going to work.

From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free! 🇵🇸 🍉

Cry more!

Seeing Palestinians lose their sacred land, seeing their families killed, being dehumanized by the occupiers, raped, tortured, starved, deprived of water and these folks want to talk about how disingenuous protesting at a Holocaust museum is?

Doctors Against Genocide (DAG), a nonprofit organization aimed at confronting and preventing genocide by uniting health care professionals in action, took to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday to cancel a planned protest at the museum.

"The goal of our event was to visit the Holocaust Museum to express our empathy for the horrors of that Genocide," DAG said in a statement on X. "Additionally, we wanted to bring awareness to the ongoing Genocide in Gaza. Our initial communications did not sufficiently convey this, leading to accusations from parties with ill intentions.

"As DAG we stand against all hate of vulnerable people, whether that hate comes in the form of anti-Semitism, anti-Palestinianism, anti-Black hate, anti-White hat, or any other prejudice."

Folks still living in the 20th Century are not realizing that a genocide is live in the 21st Century. The Holocaust happened when the United States looked the other way until it was attacked on Dec. 7, 1941.

The Holocaust happened when Adolf Hitler ordered the elimination of European Jews who he deemed a threat to purity.

We will never forget the Holocaust.

The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. The murders were carried out primarily through mass shootings and poison gas in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Chełmno in occupied Poland.

Only a few Holocaust perpetrators faced criminal trials. Billions of dollars in reparations have been paid, although falling short of the Jews' losses. The Holocaust has also been commemorated in museums, memorials, and culture. It has become central to Western historical consciousness as a symbol of the ultimate human evil.

President Joe Biden and Congress continue to defend the indefensible.

The protest was planned for Thursday as the organization calls for a stop to what it calls the genocide in Gaza. Backlash against the protest was quickly seen across social media as some pointed toward the use of the Holocaust museum to protest the current conflict.

"Anti-Israel protesters are preparing a protest the day after tomorrow in front of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. It's the main institution in the U.S. studying the Holocaust a creating awareness about the genocide. These people are shameless," Visegrád 24, a pro Israeli propaganda aggregate, wrote on X.

So it's offensive to protest at a museum but not watching children getting slaughtered by a country that openly admits it wants to wipe the animals out.

C'mon Nimarata!

Maybe Nikki Haley needs to take a competency test.

Republican candidate Nikki Haley got rocked by her latest flub while on the campaign trail. As a woman of color, Haley is constantly denouncing racism and trying to avoid talking about issues that rile up conservatives. She and former presidential contender, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) refuse to believe America is still racist.

Nimarata Randhawa Haley is a former United Nations ambassador, former South Carolina governor, former state representative and current 2024 Republican candidate for president. She is 51 years old, married with two children.

She is strangely obsessed with Vice President Kamala Harris, the first African American and Indian American woman to hold the office. She called for competency tests for President Joe Biden and her boss, former president Donald J. Trump. Haley is like Trump and Biden when it comes to Israel. She is willing to allow the country to commit war crimes without any punishment or sanctions.

She is currently trailing Trump by 30 points. She is ahead of Ron DeSantis, the current governor of Florida by 6 points.

She is also obsessed with Ohio businessman, Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

Ramaswamy has called out Haley for trying to bury her Indian heritage. He is not afraid of using his name. Kamala Harris isn't afraid to use her name. Why is Nikki?

She shot back at him.

“First of all, I was born with Nikki on my birth certificate, I was raised as Nikki, I married a Haley, and so that is what my name is, so he can say or misspell or do whatever he wants,” she said. “But he can’t step away from the fact that, look, he’s the one that said he’s gonna abandon Israel. Those were his words. Now he’s wanting to walk it back, and the reality is you have to understand the importance of our allies and those relationships.”

She is afraid of people confusing her for being a foreigner. She is not. Her parents emigrated to the U.S. in the 1960s. Her father taught biology at Voorhees University, a historically Black college.

A question on slavery went south fast.

The reason for the Civil War was the fact that states that advocated for slavery were not willing to accept a decree.

The central cause of the war was the dispute over whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from doing so, which many believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.

Nearly 2.4 million people died from the American Civil War.

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated shortly after the war ended by a far right maniac.

Republicans keep harking on the claims that the Democrats were the party of slavery.

When the Democrats want to remove references to slavery, the Confederacy and apologizing for atrocities done by the United States, Republicans are outraged.

It is like you can't have it both ways!

Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley are Indian American. They refuse to acknowledge racism exists in American politics and the way of life.

Nonetheless, Haley was asked by an audience member at a town hall in northern New Hampshire what she believed to be the cause of the Civil War, according to an exchange captured by CNN and several other media outlets.

In response, Haley first paused, and said, "Well, don't come at me with an easy question."

She then added: "I mean, I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run, what you could and couldn't do, the freedoms in what people could and couldn't do."

After some back and forth, the man who asked the question responded: "In the year 2023, it's astonishing to me that you answer that question without mentioning the word 'slavery.'"

After some back and forth, the man who asked the question responded: "In the year 2023, it's astonishing to me that you answer that question without mentioning the word 'slavery.'"

There is broad consensus among scholars that slavery was the main cause of the war, which occurred between 1861 and 1865. The Southern states, which seceded, opposed attempts by Northern states to limit the institution of slavery, particularly in western territories.

The moment Tim Scott realized he was toast.

On Thursday morning, Haley sought to walk back her comments on The Pulse of NH, a radio show.

"Of course the Civil War was about slavery, that's the easy part," she said. "Yes, I know it was about slavery. I am from the South."

President Joe Biden trolled Haley. He took aim at her over the competency tests and his handling of world affairs. This one he posted on X was a basic reminder that he still sharp on the issues.

Biden posted a video of Haley's exchange on social media with the caption: "It was about slavery."

The press secretary for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, another Republican presidential contender, pointed to critical comments by a number of DeSantis advisers on X.

"If Nikki Haley can't answer this basic political 101 question and then it takes her over 12 hrs to sloppily attempt to clean it up, she just isn't ready for the bright lights of the nomination process," wrote senior DeSantis adviser David Polyansky.

A representative for former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, did not respond to a request for comment.

Haley, like many public officials from the U.S. South, has a history of defending aspects of the Confederacy, as the states that seceded are known. She served as governor of South Carolina, the first state to secede, from 2011 to 2017.

Haley said in 2010 that the state had a right to secede. In 2015, she signed a bill into law removing the Confederate battle flag from the grounds of the state capitol following the murder of nine Black churchgoers by white supremacist Dylann Roof.

She was later criticized by some elected officials for describing that flag as a symbol of "heritage" for some Southerners.

Trump is winning the Republican presidential nominating contest with 61% support, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted earlier in December, while Haley and DeSantis are tied with 11%.

Haley is performing significantly better in New Hampshire, which is the second state after Iowa to select a preferred Republican nominee. She has about 25% support there, according to polling averages.
