Late yesterday, the anticipated retaliatory strike from Iran against Israel,
nominally in retaliation for Israel's attack on the Iranian consulate in
Damascus, which killed a high ranking Iranian general, began, with hundred of
drones, and ballistic missiles launched from Iran and it's proxies in other
countries, all aimed at targets in Israel. Israeli defenses, bolstered by US
and even Jordanian defenses neutralized the vast majority of the sortie. Stacy
McCain, Iran Attacks Israel: Biden to Blame.
The usual “fog of war” makes it difficult to be confident in the accuracy of
the various reports, but one thing is certain: This is entirely Joe Biden’s
fault.
Israel was secure, and the world was not on the brink of
Armageddon, before Biden took office. “Never underestimate Joe’s ability to
f**k things up,” as
Barack Obama famously said
about his veep.

keeping the case on track..." ""... for a June trial in Delaware. Biden was indicted in September on
three counts tied to possession of a gun while using narcotics. Efforts to
have the case thrown out included arguments of selective and vindictive
prosecution and that special counsel David Weiss was unlawfully appointed to

at PJM notices Trump Is Closing the Gender Gap. Can You Guess How? "According to Paul Shumaker, a North Carolina-based Republican Party
pollster, the border is causing suburban women to abandon Democrats. “Joe
Biden has a big problem on the immigration front because that issue is seen as
a security issue at home in the suburbs with these women,” he explained. “They

The redoubtable Julie Kelly has a massive missive about Trump's Florida trial on Twitter, Julie Kelly@julie_kelly2
"One thing I find amusing as a reporter on the *right* actively covering J6
and Trump related court proceedings is seeing what corporate news reporters
omit from their articles. For example, I don't see any coverage of Jay Bratt
(Jack Smith prosecutor) apparently admitting yesterday that the government
does not think it will have to prove that classified records were in the
boxes moved by Trump's co-defendants. Bratt said with one exception--a photo
in the indictment that allegedly shows a classified file spilled from a box
in the storage room--DOJ is not aware of the presence of classified records
in any box moved or handled by Walt Nauta or Carlos De Olivera. This is
CENTRAL to the obstruction charges against both men and Trump. I also don't
see any reports about Judge Cannon's frustration bordering on anger about
secrecy out of the DC court. For the most part, corporate media ignores the
fact that the entire investigation was run out of Washington--including
grand jury proceedings--then switched to Florida, the appropriate
jurisdiction, at the last minute to get indictments. . . .
Althouse has a pair ""The strain that runs really deep in the court in the last 10 years is a concern about prosecutors over-prosecuting." "The court is very focused on ensuring that criminal statutes are not construed too broadly." Said Roman Martinez a former law clerk to Chief Justice Roberts, quoted in "Supreme Court to weigh if Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstruction/Defense lawyers say prosecutors improperly stretched the law by charging hundreds with obstruction of an official proceeding" (WaPo, free access link)", and Can't we use the torture devices in the best order? ""Why did this seamy Trump trial have to be the first?" Ruth Marcus complains, in The Washington Post. Can't we conduct this persecution in a sequence most effective in shaping the emotions of the electorate? Don't you hate when you're using the courts to destroy a man and the courts interpose their own ways of doing things and interfere with efficient destruction?"
