Biden is dangerously wrong to undercut Netanyahu (Sept. 3):
President Joe Biden and tens of thousands of protesting Israelis keep insisting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu do more to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas terrorists. They aren’t so clear about what exactly Netanyahu can do.
The Israeli citizens at least can claim emotional stress for their lack of full reason. Biden’s backstabbing of Netanyahu, though, is despicable and inexcusable.
Asked if Netanyahu was doing enough to secure the release of some 100 remaining hostages, Biden simply said “no.” He also is saying he expects to give both Hamas and Israel, equally, a “take it or leave it” proposal. But how, pray tell, can Israel negotiate with a terrorist network that refuses actually to accept any limits on its own murderousness? How can Netanyahu negotiate with thugs who have rejected every other ceasefire agreement for 11 months?….
Trump needs to be asked about multiple policy failures (Sept. 3):
While liberal media are rooting so hard for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris that they won’t ask her hard questions, their minds seem so fried by Republican former President Donald Trump that all they ask is about his outrageous politicking while real substance again gets ignored.
Here, though, are questions Trump should be asked again and again until he provides cogent answers, not absurdist digressions. They should start with the two issue areas most distinctively Trumpian, namely immigration and trade. In his term in office, he manifestly failed at both of them…..
Harris and Trump are both bad choices. We need a write-in campaign (Sept. 11): If former President Donald Trump starts tanking in the polls in the aftermath of his egregious Sept. 10 debate performance, disaffected citizens should start an organized write-in vote effort with a real purpose.
Extrapolating from poll data, there is every reason to believe that some 20 million-25 million people would like to vote but are understandably aghast at the presidential tickets offered by both major parties. If those citizens don’t vote at all, or if they write in random politicians’ names or that of Mickey Mouse, their message won’t be clear and the practical effects would be extremely muted. Contrarily, if 20 million people write in the same name, several beneficial results might occur…..
