At the end of his speech, Cardona channeled his inner Ronald Reagan to summarize his motivations.
"I think it was President Reagan who said, 'We're from the government. We're here to help!'" the secretary recounted.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is a despicable con artist who is organizing Arab and European countries, along with the United Nations, around the backs of our Congress and Israel to carve up the Jewish state and gift the Palestinians massive swaths of Israel’s country, including Judea and Samaria. That is his response to the Palestinians’ murderous slaughter of Israelis!
"The stance of the Arabs and Muslims is yet another indication of their disillusionment with the Palestinians in general and Iran's proxies -- Hamas, Hizballah and the Houthis -- in particular.
Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt and Jordan are as opposed to Hamas as they are to Israel. Hamas is another branch of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, which has long posed a threat to their national security.
In 2017, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain cut ties with Qatar after accusing it of providing support for Islamist terrorists, including Hamas and the Taliban, as well as Iran...
Because they think he’s smarter this time and he has just cause to really get angry because of what they did to him.
...but deep down inside they know that if the right ever did that to Barack Obama, or Joe Biden, they could have really made something out of the fact that Barack Obama had a hot mic expose where he told the president of Russia, “You tell Vladimir that I will be flexible on missile defense that’s the security of the United States of America if he gives me space in my last election.”
And Putin did do that.
That’s an impeachable offense IF a phone call to Ukraine is.
So they didn’t understand then that the right could have done that to them and they understand now the right probably will do that to them for their own survival...

The more we learn about the case of the cop who was convicted for George Floyd’s death, the more we’re convinced that it was a gross miscarriage of justice.
It’s been an awful stretch of days for Derek Chauvin... It wasn’t just jury bias that plagued the Chauvin case, though.
As we noted last month, when a key witness says “the actual evidence doesn’t match up with the public narrative that everyone’s already decided on,” you know you have problems.
How so?
The chief medical examiner in the case says that Floyd had a severely enlarged heart; that the autopsy showed no physical signs of neck injury or strangulation; and that if Floyd had been found alone in an apartment building, his death would be certified as an overdose without a second thought due to the lethal level of methamphetamines in his system.
Adding injury to that constitutional insult, Chauvin was stabbed and gravely injured Friday afternoon by a fellow inmate at a federal prison in Arizona...
