This week marked the third anniversary of the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.  Stories that make Democrats look bad (or Republicans look good) are usually forgotten by the media, and Afghanistan is no exception.  This was the single greatest foreign policy disaster in decades, comparable to the attacks on the embassy in Benghazi in 2012, the hostages being taken in Iran in 1979, or the last helicopter out of Saigon in 1975.  This was not only a defining moment in the Joe Biden presidency, but a harbinger of what a Kamala Harris presidency will look like. 

Anyone looking at the campus protests that defined the spring semester of universities around the country, the shutting down of roads and bridges, or the gathering of tens of thousands of terror supporters outside the Democratic National Convention can see how many people are wearing masks. Unlike the mask-wearing of 2020 and 2021, where people were concerned about the spread of Covid, this mask-wearing is for an entirely different purpose. This is to prevent accountability for their actions.

The question on every “Vote Blue no matter who” Jewish voter’s mind must be: “Why are these pro-Hamas protesters always coming to our events?  Why are they at the DNC?  Why not the RNC?  Do they want Trump to win?” 

A month into the Kamala Harris campaign she has still conducted zero interviews and has not put up a policy page on her website.  Instead, she has done very well-choreographed campaign rallies in swing states, boosting her popularity and polling numbers to the point where she is now favored to win the presidential election.  She is winning right now not because she is campaigning against the policy prescription of Donald Trump, but rather because she’s campaigning against her own personal policies that she espoused and those set forward by the administration she was a part of.

While the former is doubtless hard for liberal Jews to absorb, with regard to Israel and the Jews, the latter are much worse.

(August 11, 2024 / JNS) Former President Donald Trump drives liberal Jews to distraction when he says that American Jews have to be crazy to vote for his Democratic opponent. They call him an antisemite. But he keeps on saying it.

Kamala Harris determined that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was simply too Jewish for the Democrats. Despite having far more political benefits, Harris went with radical Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her Vice Presidential pick. Given the Democrats’ track record of throwing unpopular candidates over the side of the highway if they poll badly enough, let’s see if Walz, unlike Joe Biden, can actually make it to election day.
