Editorial: Blinken only emboldens Hamas terrorists

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:46:31 GMT

President Joe Biden must stop trying to appease Hamas sympathizers inside the White House and Democratic Party and reiterate America’s steadfast commitment to Israel. Particularly in the wake of his secretary of state’s dumbfounding and ill-timed remarks regarding the Jewish state.Earlier this month, the Times of Israel reported that, when one high-ranking Israeli official told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that Israeli citizens overwhelmingly support the military campaign to eliminate Hamas “even if it takes months,” he responded, “I don’t think you have the credit for that.”According to the report, Blinken then went on to scold Israel about potential civilian casualties in southern Gaza.“You need to evacuate fewer people from their homes, be more accurate in the attacks, not hit U.N. facilities and ensure that there are enough protected areas,” he said. “And if not? Then not to attack where there is a civilian population.”These comments embolden Hamas terrorists as they r...

Franks: The media failed us on George Santos

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:46:31 GMT

What took so long? Good riddance to former House Rep. George Santos, R-NY. The Santos saga begs the question: How did he get elected in the first place?Now we know it was due to massive fraud. But I would also add major failures on the part of the press for not properly vetting Santos.Santos once said after losing his first race for Congress in 2020 that “he thought he could get away with it.”Well, a simple check prior to his running of just his high school and college graduations would have revealed a huge clue as to the problem. A simple check of his employment at Goldman Sachs would have ended his quest for public office. It would have been clear at that point that Santos had great difficulty telling the truth.His political career should have been over before it got off the ground.I am not addressing the many other problems related to Santos that have drawn the attention of prosecutors. Their investigations resulted in approximately two dozen criminal charges that, if proven, wou...
