Liberals are so blind... to their own inadequacies! I let one of my sons-in-law borrow my car this past week as his was in the shop... picked it up yesterday, and the radio was tuned to NPR News, and "Scott" was interviewing a couple of our liberal government officials (one was John Kirby) and asked both of them if they were demanding if Israel has a plan to protect Gaza "civilians" from any planned attacks.... I do give credit that neither government official kowtowed to the question, but I had hoped at least one of them would ask "Scott" if he had asked any Hamas officials if they had any plan to minimize civilian deaths and kidnapping of Israeli AND American civilians, or if he had asked Putin whether his invasion of Ukraine had any plan to protect Ukrainian civilians.

The Hamas creating havoc while hiding behind the civilians living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank remind me of America's political scene.. the Democratic Party does the same thing.. creating economic and criminal havoc while hiding behind unkept promises that things will get better it tells to their voter base…

Online headline: “Representative Tlaib calling for Biden Administration to increase efforts to protect civilian lives in Gaza” -- Of course "Tlaib the Lib" wants Israel to want a cease fire..

Online headline/story: “Billion-dollar supersize prisons are slated to be built across the U.S. * Georgia is among states embarking on ambitious plans to construct new, costly prisons in an effort to alleviate issues of overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and inadequate mental health resources in existing facilities * Georgia aims for a $1.69 billion, 4,500-bed replacement for its current jail. * However, critics, including prison reform advocates, argue that constructing new prisons without addressing underlying systemic issues is a short-term solution. They emphasize the need for meaningful rehabilitation and reforms aimed at reducing incarceration for minor infractions ” -- “emphasize …. reducing incarceration for minor infractions”? Hmmm typical liberalese response… wait for the dam to break rather than plug up the small leak when it first appears.. Maybe libs should be forced.. encouraged… to read about the little Dutch Boy who stuck his finger into a leak in the dam and saved the whole city… Unfortunately, prisons are becoming “affordable taxpayer-funded public housing”…

This was the greatest number reported in August in U.S. history, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data on record. “ – Wow… describing an invasion of illegals as a “'hemispheric move north' …what words of ambiguity..even “denial”!… Hmmm…… so even Obama is trying to shake Biden off his coattails… looks more am[nd more like Michele Obama… or Susan Rice.. or even Valerie Jarrett… will become the “drafted” Socialist-Democrat candidate… Hmmm… or maybe a two-of-the-three becoming the “Ticket”…

Online “headLIE”: “I'm a proud Democrat. My party has an antisemitism problem” -- Hmmm...the writer seems to say, "To me, it’s simple – if you cannot denounce terrorism in all its forms, there should be no place for you in the Democratic Party."... Yet the real question here is, "If the Democratic Party does not denounce terrorism.. in all its forms... why are you a supporter of the Democratic Party unless you agree with them?"

Online headline: “Barbour Co. man, Columbus, Georgia doctor accused of smuggling illegal taxidermy birds and eggs into U.S.” -- Hmmm....Who'da ever thunk it... that smuggling in dead birds was more punishable than smuggling in terrorists and Fentanyl in across our Southern Border..

Online headline/story: “A 31-year-old with $44,000 in student debt is shocked she’s paying more after rollout of Biden’s new plan is botched: ‘It’s been a nightmare’ * With payments on her $44,000 in federal student loan debt about to resume, Juniper decided to see what the new income-driven repayment (IDR) plan touted by the Biden administration was all about. She applied in September, and her Federal Student Aid account told her the most affordable repayment plan for her is in fact the Saving on a Valuable Education, or SAVE, option, under which she would owe $47 per month. * Fast-forward to October, though, when the first loan payment was due, and Juniper was quoted $138 per month on her loan servicer's website. In her account, she is enrolled in the PAYE program, another income-driven repayment (IDR) plan that isn't as generous” – Good grief! $47.00 a month ($564.00 annuall7) is an interest rate of about 1.25% and $138.00 a month ($1,656.. annually) is about a 3.7% interest rate while Bidenflation has driven mortgage rates to between 7-and-8%.. Seems like responsible Americans are supplementing college loan recipients on top of normal costs of living!

Online headline: “Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says she’s ‘unequivocally supportive of Israel’ after social media backlash “ – Dang..

What is with Resident Biden.. No matter what the crisis, he feels he has to tell a story that puts him in the middle of it! After Israeli civilian were slaughtered by Hamas, Biden said he felt the same way they do because he lost his son to cancer.. Excuse Resident Biden, but being able to comfort your adult child in his last days IS NOT the same as a parent losing a child to a Islamic terrorists gun, grenade, rocket or knife!
