Overnight, Israel’s military retaliated for massive Iranian missile and drone attacks launched against the Jewish State last weekend. At this point, the magnitude and impact of the Israeli response is unclear. 

But the fact that the Iranian regime is still in business suggests it was tailored to minimize further conflicts with a Biden administration now increasingly palpably working to defend the mullahs, as well as their jihadist proxies in Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen.

At this point, there is only one response to “the wider regional war” Team Biden laughably says it is determined to prevent, but that is actually being relentlessly waged against Israel by all the aforementioned: The Israelis must use to the fullest their might and skills to assist the former Shah’s son, Reza Pahlavi, in his intensifying efforts to help the people of Iran finally liberate their country.

Finally, someone in official Washington has decided to tell the truth about the Chinese Communist Party’s genocidal chemical warfare against America. A House Select Committee reported yesterday that the blame for devastating carnage being wrought here via the deliberate weaponization of fentanyl lies squarely with our mortal enemy: the CCP.

Among other chilling conclusions, the panel’s investigation revealed that, “The Chinese Communist Party promotes the fentanyl crisis through government programs, protects fentanyl traffickers operating within its borders, and directly benefits from the fentanyl crisis.” 

The Select Committee described the resulting devastation as equivalent to having a jetliner with 200 people aboard crash here every single day.

As monstrous as this form of Beijing’s comprehensive unrestricted warfare is, the fact that the CCP has, so far, gotten away with it completely is even worse. A painful cost must be extracted, starting now.

In 1973, amidst a war that began with a surprise attack on Israel by Arab enemies determined to destroy the Jewish State, President Richard Nixon ordered an emergency resupply of our ally. House Speaker Mike Johnson has decided to move immediately long-overdue legislation that would help our Israeli allies now under fire from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Iran.

Unfortunately, Joe Biden is restricting weapons purchases Israel requires to defend its people and defeat her enemies – and ours. Worse, he’s funding those foes and otherwise protecting them from decisive Israeli retaliation.

Like Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer despicably professes his commitment to Israel while working to overthrow her elected government and delaying the sort of legislation Speaker Johnson is prioritizing and the House first passed months ago.

Shmuck Schumer and Benedict Biden must stop betraying Israel, and America.

Iran just fired 300 missiles at Israel. For various reasons – including concerted defensive efforts by the Jewish State, American forces and even Jordan – miraculously, nearly all failed to cause damage. 

President Biden wants the Israelis to forego retaliation, telling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. supports Israel, but not any offensive operation against the mullahs. 

Evidently, having aided Israel’s defense, Team Biden now intends to defend Iran.

Congressional Republicans finally appear ready to really help Israel. That requires: emergency resupply of her greatly depleted arsenal; investigating the Biden administration’s foreknowledge of and culpability in this Iranian assault; and standing with Israel as she responds.

Clearly, the only hope of preventing the ayatollahs from doing far worse in the future is to assist the Iranian people in ending the regime that oppresses them and genocidally threatens Israel, and us.

Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida yesterday urged Americans to overcome “an undercurrent of self-doubt” about our role in a world now at “history’s turning point.” 

Actually, what millions of us are doubting is the quality of our leadership at such a moment. Congressional leaders warn that we’re in “a new Cold War” with the Chinese Communist Party and are finally launching hearings into the CCP’s political warfare here.

There’s an elephant in the room, however, that has yet to be formally acknowledged, let alone corrected: As retired CIA spy Sam Faddis has observed, in the lexicon of recruiting and running agents, President Joe Biden would be characterized as “a controlled asset of the Chinese Communist Party.” 

We can’t win a cold war, let alone the now-looming hot one, with leadership whose loyalty and conduct we have plenty of reason to doubt.

The Western Pacific will get some welcome attention today with the Japanese Prime Minister making an address to a joint session of Congress and summiting with President Biden and their Philippino counterpart. Unfortunately, the needed display of allied solidarity and resolve in countering the Chinese Communist Party’s intensifying aggression throughout the region has just been undercut by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s latest appeasement tourism in Beijing. 

That’s a seriously fraught message to be sending even as the CCP’s forces are routinely assaulting Philippine vessels and penetrating Japanese airspace and waters – as they are those of a fourth strategically critical, but uninvited, regional partner: Taiwan. 

At a time when Team Biden is actively betraying its most important ally in the Mideast, Israel, there is no room for signaling that America is determined to undermine any others by “engaging” with the CCP.

In just 47 days, the Biden presidency hopes to pull off what may be its most insidious and far-reaching violation of the oath of office sworn by every one of its employees, so help them God: Rather than “support and defend” the U.S. Constitution, they will be replacing it with two international treaties that will render every American subject to “global governance.”

Of course, you didn’t vote to make the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Ghebreyesus, the dictator of public health in our country. 

Actually, you haven’t even been consulted about this new arrangement.

Fortunately, we are launching today an emergency campaign to defeat this stealthy travesty. Join us at SovereigntyCoalition.org in telling Joe Biden “Not Now” to his impending betrayal and demanding that the Senate do its duty by preventing such diabolical, anti-constitutional treaties from crushing our freedoms.

Since the Nazis killed six million Jews, we have promised “Never again.” Today, thanks to Joe Biden’s intensifying betrayal of the modern Jewish State, “Again” is now a distinct possibility.

In fact, after Israel was genocidally attacked on October 7th, the Biden administration has combined professions of commitment to her survival and arms resupply with a series of initiatives that have encouraged, enabled and emboldened her enemies – and ours – to believe they can achieve their stated goal of destroying the Jews and their nation.

These include acting to: save Hamas; fund its Iranian backer; create what would inevitably be a new Palestinian terror state; and decapitate Israel’s democratically elected government. 

A new poll reveals that, by a margin of 79 to 21 percent American voters support Israel. So, Joe Biden is not only betraying our Jewish ally. He’s betraying us. Again.

This is Frank Gaffney.

Over the weekend, Israel withdrew most of its combat forces from southern Gaza in the wake of Joe Biden’s threats to cut back the U.S. supply of weapons vital to the defense of the Jewish State and his aggressive efforts to bring down the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Has the President accomplished his evident goal of saving Hamas? 

If so, Biden’s betrayal of the Jewish State is all more outrageous in light of mounting evidence that undermines his latest pretexts for doing so: First, it appears Hamas engineered the incident in which Israel’s military unintentionally killed seven aid workers. And second, Israel’s apparent elimination of a top Iranian commander in Damascus recently was fully justified as he reportedly personally orchestrated Hamas’ murderous October 7th invasion. 

A new poll confirms that American voters overwhelmingly support Israel. 

So should Joe Biden.

Yesterday, President Biden and Secretary of State Tony Blinken threatened that if Israel does not change its operations in Gaza, U.S. policy towards supporting the Jewish State will change. Translation: Unless Benjamin Netanyahu’s government saves Hamas, America will no longer resupply the weapons required to defeat it. 

The Biden administration is also reportedly conducting a four-pronged campaign to overthrow the Israeli government. 

What is now in distinct prospect is an American-driven defeat of an allied nation that will make Team Biden’s betrayal and destruction of Afghanistan pale by comparison. While the Israelis are hoping to secure further U.S. help with expanded humanitarian assistance that principally props up Hamas, their enemies –and ours – now foresee that they will surely be able eventually, if not soon, to drive the Jews “from the river to the sea.”

Biden’s Afghanistan 2.0 must be repudiated now.
