Israel is not only not committing genocide, it’s abiding by LOAC, AND providing vaccines and food to the Palestinian people. Correcting the false narrative is necessary to combat the rising antisemitism in the West.

"President Biden was very weak on supporting Ukraine. He was always six months late... President Trump, unfortunately, I think has been worse."

This is why it was so important that the Pentagon decided to restore U.S. combat units in the Baltics this week. The Russians must know that an attack on our Baltic allies is an attack on the U.S. this strengthens deterrence. Ambiguity is greatly diminished.
Latvian President Rinkevics: If Russia plans to attack the Baltic states, we are not expecting two weeks of debate in Brussels. We expect a swift response.

RINO scumbag Don Bacon @DonJBacon advocating for the Great Replacement today in the Washington Post.
"We are doing this at the exact moment the country can least afford to lose workers. Our fertility rate has fallen to roughly 1.6 births per woman, well below the 2.1 needed for a generation to replace itself, and the Congressional Budget Office now projects that deaths will outnumber births by 2030. Without immigration, our workforce shrinks, and we are pushing out the people who could help fill the gap."

Rutte: Putin is losing over 43,000 of his own men each month, killed or seriously wounded in Ukraine. That is 1.2 million since this totally unprovoked war started.
He wants a deal, yet he is still not playing ball. 1/
Terrible to see all these ambassadors to the UN walk out on Israel. Not nearly as many walked out on Iran yesterday — even after they machine gunned 40,000 of their own people.
The rules of our elections should not change depending on who controls Washington.
That’s why Congressman Ed Case and I introduced the bipartisan TRUST Act. The principle is simple: the census happens once every ten years, and congressional maps should follow the same timeline.
I joined Republican and Democratic colleagues from the Problem Solvers Caucus to make the case for a more stable redistricting process that puts voters ahead of partisan advantage.
I was sent to Congress to represent Western and Southern Colorado, not to defend whichever party happens to be in power. I’ll keep working across the aisle when it means strengthening our institutions and delivering for #CO03.
President Trump and I had a meeting where we discussed general matters. After that, our negotiating teams held a separate, long meeting. The agreement is as follows: we will brief the European side and discuss these details with them; the Americans will speak with the Russians; and in ten days, we will come back with views and results in some shape or form.
As for a trilateral Ukraine-U.S.-Russia meeting, the American side proposed preparing it and meeting at the technical level. We are waiting for the United States to propose a date. The United States proposed the United Arab Emirates as the venue for such a meeting.
There are concrete agreements regarding Patriot licenses. At our meeting, President Trump stressed that he had made his final decision: Ukraine will receive licenses to produce Patriot missiles.

American Ukraine Committee is proud to Support of
the Baltic Security Assessment Act. We thank Representatives Don Bacon, Salud Carbajal and Wesley Bell for leading the House bill, and Senators Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin for leading in the Senate.
Since 2015, the UN has passed 188 resolutions condemning Israel.
That's more than twice as many as against the rest of the world combined—Russia, China, Iran, and Venezuela included.
Yet diplomats sat politely through a speech from Iran, a regime that has killed thousands of its own citizens and still persecutes them.
It's not about human rights. It's blatant anti-Israel bias.
"If there are any other moral cowards who haven't yet left this hall, please do so now."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opens his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York with a sharp rebuke as delegates walk out of the hall in protest of his speech.
We conservatives, before 2016, decried "moral equivalence": the inability to choose between right and wrong, aggressor and victim, invader and invaded, friend and foe, tyrant and democrat, good and evil. Our country is disgraced. America, at present, is not itself.
🇺🇸🇨🇿 The Czech President is visiting the US: New York and, of course, Nebraska. As a 4⭐️ General, he also served as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (2015–2018). 👀 @RepDonBacon
Po jednáních v New Yorku jsem zamířil do Nebrasky. S tamní Národní gardou spolupracuje česká armáda už více než třicet let.
Za tu dobu se naše partnerství rozšířilo do řady oblastí. V současnosti se soustředíme například na výcvik našich pilotů nebo cvičení v kybernetické obraně. Překvapivou informací pro mě bylo, že každý pátý příslušník místní Národní gardy má české kořeny.
Oceňuji, že se naše partnerství za ta léta nejen udrželo, ale dál přináší užitek oběma stranám.
Mariana’s case urgently raises the question of whether this country still has the moral clarity to differentiate between people who endanger it and people who strengthen it.
