Absolutely astonishing and much needed!

Laura Trump was on Fox Business with Maria this morning and did a great job explaining how that much needed money into the RNC will be utilized.

One thing Trump has done a great job of is raising well spoken intellectual kids who have also married extremely well

Laura is a breath of fresh air to the RNC. I honestly stopped contributing with Ronna McDaniels in charge.... Time to break out the check book again.....

Build back better, and Democrat Dystopia, on full display.

Given his recent statements on here about an "awakening", which I don't fully believe, I wonder what @Saul was thinking during BHO's 8 years in office?

Interesting take on Ukraine, I think it shows the "if the other side if for it, then we are against it" mentality. Interestingly, no mention of Russia.

From the article:

Michael Whatley, Donald Trump's hand-picked Republican National Committee (RNC) chair, lumped in Ukraine with China and Iran when listing the United States' "aggressive" adversaries on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures.

"Joe Biden's feckless leadership has shown China, has shown Ukraine, has shown Iran, that they can feel free to be much more aggressive on the world front to the point where even they will try and meddle with our elections here," Whatley told host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

Unsure as to what you mean by awakening. My thoughts on Obama are complex yet ultimately boring. Personally, he seems to be intelligent, upstanding, and a good father. As President, I found him to be profoundly disappointing on many fronts, the main one being his foreign policy, particularly toward Israel. I also do not think he was nearly as transformative a figure as either party wants to admit. He could have been worse, but he should have been better.

From the article:

Whatley spent the better part of a year unscrewing himself from January 6, the Georgia phone call, and the election debacle. He apparently left his brain somewhere in the abyss. A turnip green would make more sense.

Watching Fox News Sunday over a bacon and egg sandwich before church... They are saying Israel is backing off after pressure from Biden. If so, that saddens me. The thought that he can be so firm with allies and not with enemies is soooo messed up. Maybe there are deeper issues I'm not aware of that makes this a smart thing? If so others on this site can educate me. But on its surface I think Netanyahu should be giving the current White House middle finger.

Since he's the unashamed leader of the socialist, far left, baby murdering party, I'd say he qualifies to be a "zero", a bottom feeder, like the rest of the democrats.

Biden doesn't scare anyone, neither does that loser John Kerry. Netanyahu should continue in his quest to wipe the Palestinians off the face of the planet.

Unfortunately, Biden has been put in a bind by progressives in his own party, certain generational and demographic shifts in key swing states, and even some of our own allies.

Up until very recently, Biden had been one of the best allies to Israel. However, in an election year with already poor polling numbers, the progressive wing of the party has outsized influence on the administration because of their threat to stay home on Election Day.

I genuinely believe that if the current election was not so precarious for Biden and that TikTok was not allowed to corrupt our youth, he would be giving Israel full and unconditional backing.

Regardless, that does not change the fact that he still must do the right thing here, and I am not alone when I say that withdrawing support for Israel would be crossing an unforgivable line.

Biden has been put on notice. The IDF stands down, withdraws, and ends the offensive strikes on the terrorists. Or he loses Michigan. Rashida Talib has laid the law down for Biden.

It's a no win for Biden. Either path suffers loss only an incumbent can incur. A challenger doesn't need to make the call that will face the backlash.

Biden caves to the far left and potentially retains some of the Muslim defection vote and loses some of the jewish/Israeli vote....or...Biden stands with supporting our ally and retains what he can there and loses some of the Muslim vote. It's very interesting to see the weight carried in the swing states by the Muslim vote. It's understandable why he is giving in though Israel can force his support publicly at amy time.

Which is why they are playing both sides….
Provide as much military aid to Israel as politically possible, and provide as much aid / relief to Palestine as politically possible. Without completely pissing off the other side…

This is why.

A couple of interesting sound bites on Obama:

1) one of his law school classmates reported to me in a previous role. He himself was far left, so his comment on Obama is more interesting; he stated that Obama was highly intelligent, but his failing was that regardless of what room he walked into, he was convinced that he was the smartest person in the room. Hence, he listened to no-one.

2) After a long day working in the Sahara winds in Togo, a good friend, who is Hutu, and I were having a beer. I was complaining about Obama and his comment was ‘what do you expect? He’s Luo, they lord it over everyone and do nothing’. (Luo is Obama’s tribe on the black side of his family tree).

Kind of frames up how he led as president.

. . . highly intelligent, but his failing was that regardless of what room he walked into, he was convinced that he was the smartest person in the room. . .

You just described every lawyer.
