Israel and Hamas declare a cease fire after Hamas launches a huge missile attack. The United States sends an aircraft carrier to the Middle East. Venezuela mulls asking for military support from the United States. And the Left continues to have their priorities all lined up.
Cease Fire Declared
This weekend, brutal fighting has occurred between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas. In all, Hamas fired 640 missiles, 320 hitting their targets. Four Israelis were killed.
In response, Israel continued it’s policy of “targeted killing” of militant leaders and launched attacks on hundred of targets. It was reported that 24 Palestinians were killed including civilians. One killed was a terrorist who transferred money between the terrorists and Iran.
Egyptian mediators finally negotiated a cease fire between Hamas and Israel. Many Israelis are not happy about this. They believe any cease fire just allows Hamas to recover and regroup. Many believe not enough is being done to eradicate Hamas and other terrorist organizations within the Gaza Strip.
Benjamin Netanyahu refused to confirm the cease fire and has said that operations are ongoing saying, “The campaign is not over and requires patience. We are preparing to continue.”
Israel has been under constant attack by these animals on the Gaza Strip. Of course the media and the Left put the blame squarely on Israel. Israel did not start this weekends violence and their response, though massive, targeted terrorists and their infrastructure including bases, communication centers and weapon depots.
The Palestinians made it clear that a bunch of civilians were killed including two pregnant women, two babies and a toddler. I kind of doubt that. Hamas has been saying that Israel has been killing innocents for years. They do that to stir sympathy from the West. And it works. Especially the the anti-Semitic members of Congress. Look at what the genius Ilhan Omar said:
As usual, she forgot to mention that the Palestinians started it by lobbing nearly 700 missiles this weekend. But she hates Israel and all Jews, so her reaction is hardly surprising. Then there is this genius, Rashida Talib:
Well, I’ll answer her first question: When Hamas decides to get out of the Gaza Strip. The reality is it is Hamas that is suppressing the Palestinians, not the Israelis. In fact, Muslims in Israel are treated with respect and have the same freedoms that the Jewish population has. So this is a stupid statement.
We’ll have to see what happens over the next few days and see if this cease fire holds. But Israel has the right to defend itself and I think they have showed great restraint.
Speak Quietly and Carry a Big Stick
The U.S. is sending an aircraft carrier strike group and bomber task force to the Middle East because of intelligence information about Iran planning attacks on U.S. interests and forces in the area.
The National Security Adviser, John Bolton said the deployments are meant to, “send a clear unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on the United States interests or those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.”
The force was already being deployed to the area but the deployment was being expedited.
So that’s awesome. But, at least, we have an administration who will confront terror threats with the threat of force. Iran is run by a bunch of cowards. They won’t face the United States directly. You know why? Because they’d get their butts kick and they know it. So, like a fly to a gorilla, the buzz around and annoy us. They perform cowardly terror attacks with their weak-minded followers. The wage war through other countries like they are doing on the Gaza Strip and in Yemen. They are a terrible country that wants to rule the world.
That’s what make Talib’s and Omar’s Tweets so galling. They keep telling us the United States is the terror state while ignoring the actions and continually supporting regimes like these. Well, the President doesn’t give a damn what they think. He hardly even acknowledges the opinions of these idiots.
In the end, we need condemn and show our power. The United States does not have a lot of friends, especially within the country itself. Heck, we have politicians who run with the promise to make the country better but, in the next breath, say they hate it or have allegiances to other countries. It’s good to see that this country is taking a stand against all that threaten our well-being.
Venezuela
Last week, the people of Venezuela, headed by the president-elect Juan Guaido, started their quest for overthrowing the evil socialist dictator,
Nicolás Maduro. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the street to take back their government.
Guaido, who is seen as the legitimate president by over 50 countries including the United States, was backed further by some defections from the military and Maduro’s government. According to the U.S., Maduro was ready to leave to country for Cuba but was convinced to stay by Vladimir Putin.
This is going to be a very dangerous time for Guaido and other dissidents. Though there were some defections, there were not a lot. Guaido needs the help of the military since the population has been disarmed by the Chavez regime. His people are going up against armed soldiers and tanks. If this uprising fails to be successful, they never have another chance again. Guaido must know this because he has requested military assistance from the United States.
Though all options are on the table for how to help Guaido, the administration has always been a little gun shy when it comes to using the military. Wars may be popular when they start but people get tired of dealing with if the war goes on for too long. Also, whenever we enter a war it always ends up being our responsibility to clean up the mess. That includes helping the country rebuild the government, infrastructure and military. We are at $22 trillion in debt and really can’t afford the extra expenses. Another problem is Juan Guaido himself. He’s to a right wing capitalist. He’s also a socialist. I’m not sure replacing a socialist dictator with another socialist is a recipe for going through this whole thing again in another ten years.
There are reasons to to help, though. The first is the humanitarian crisis down there. People are dying of sickness, starvation and crime. The average Venezuelan has lost 24 pounds. Maduro is also dealing with other Evil regimes like Cuba, Russia and Iran. We should not want those countries involved with any country within the hemisphere. Finally, Venezuela was a rich country until Hugo Chavez got his claws into it. Helping that country could be very good for trade. That is, if we can stomach a socialist as president.
But, only time will tell. The uprising has been going for a week. People have died. Maduro is in hiding. And the people keep filling the streets.
Mueller Report
So, we have Israel being bombed, Iran threatening us to the point of sending the military and people in Venezuela, apparently sick of eating dogs, have decided to overthrow the illegitimate socialist dictator.
So what are we talking about here? Take a look:

This is such an unnecessary story and the Dems behavior has just become asinine. I have been avoiding this whole thing because it is just so stupid. Hell, I’m not even going to waste a lot of time on it now. Here’s the story in only a few lines.
- Mueller got more than two years investigating Trump.
- Mueller have the report to Attorney General William Barr.
- Barr wrote a four page summary. He asked Mueller to read it and Mueller said, “No”.
- Mueller wrote a letter saying he wanted Barr to release the two executive summaries from the report. Barr said, “No,” because he was going to release the entire report.
- Barr read his summary.
- Two weeks later, Barr releases the report with less than 10% redaction. He leaves an un-redacted report with Congress (no one read it).
- He appears in front of Congress and the Dems accuse him of lying and not being transparent.
- Now, he’s being threatened with jail.
What the hell?? This has been the most transparent process in political history. How was he lying about his summary or about the Mueller letter if he released the report? How is he a lackey for a guilty President if he released the report? How is covering up the guilt of the President when he… wait for it… released the report?!
This is just stupid. I mean, a congressman showed up with a glass chicken and a bucket of KFC as a metaphor that Barr is scared to be interviewed by the House. Look at this:
What a frigging joke. If it weren’t for the fact they could damage the fantastic and honorable career of a two-time Attorney General, I’d laugh.
Listen, this whole thing is just deflection. The Left is in trouble. Trump was spied on. The FBI showed political bias during the Trump and Clinton investigation and he’s investigating it. The FISA court is being investigated. That means the Obama White House probably started the investigation. Of course we’ll know next month when the Horowitz investigation is completed. Pretty sure that report will be release too.
That’s all I have to say about that. This is real Deep State crap.
