“Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress was everything you’d expect: packed full of lies and propaganda spin, yet simultaneously very illuminating and revealing. The Israeli prime minister received no fewer than 58 standing ovations while speaking before both houses of Congress and spewing the most despicable lies you could possibly imagine in his conspicuously American accent. Depending on how politically aware you are, this spectacle could be perceived as either deeply un-American, or as American as it gets. Netanyahu repeated evidence-free atrocity propaganda about what happened on October 7, falsely asserting that Hamas ‘burned babies alive’ and killed two babies in an attic. He falsely claimed that Hamas ‘butchered 1,200 people,’ pretending it’s not a well-established fact that many of the 1,139 Israeli deaths that day came from both indiscriminate IDF fire and deliberate targeting in implementation of the Hannibal Directive.” (07/25/24)

“In a mere 11 minutes on Wednesday night, President Biden settled any doubts about whether he was fit for another four years of the presidency. Uncle Joe wrestled with the teleprompter like a slacker high school boy blindsided by trigonometry questions on the math SAT test. By the end of the Bidens brief spiel, most judges declared that the teleprompter had won by technical knockout. A few weeks ago, Biden declared that it would take ‘the Lord Almighty’ to get him to end his re-election campaign. Did the Lord make an unannounced visit to Biden’s Delaware vacation home?” (07/25/24)

“It was October 2001, a month after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when President George W. Bush created the Office of Homeland Security in the White House. ‘The mission of the office will be to coordinate the implementation of a comprehensive national strategy to secure the United States from terrorist threats or attacks,’ Bush announced. The following year, Congress enacted the Homeland Security Act, consolidating 22 federal agencies into one Cabinet department. … How’d that work out? Not well at all. Although Bush promised that these structural changes would eliminate ‘overlapping responsibilities,’ what we’ve got is a system that has no brakes on bad decisions from the top.” (07/25/24)

“Yesterday Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a dishonest and obnoxious speech to a joint session of Congress. As expected, the prime minister obsessed over Iran and exaggerated the threat from Iran and its proxies. He absurdly claimed that Israel was fighting on behalf of the ‘civilized’ world against ‘barbarism.’ In reality, Israeli forces have been committing countless war crimes and the Israeli government deliberately starves the entire population of Gaza. It was crude propaganda that insulted the intelligence of anyone that heard it, and to their lasting discredit most of the audience lapped it up and cheered.” (07/25/24)
