**DIME SIZED BAGGIE' in the WEST WING**
By Nick Rizzuto
Details continue to emerge about the discovery of cocaine at the heart of the US government’s executive branch – The White House. According to numerous reports citing the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), the illicit substance was uncovered in a “‘”work area within the West Wing.”
Further laboratory analysis carried out after the initial testing on Sunday has now unequivocally confirmed the nature of the substance found. “The formal laboratory test confirmed the substance to be cocaine,” a USSS official revealed to NBC News on Wednesday.
The Daily Mail reports that the cocaine was in a small, zippered bag stowed in a storage area of the West Wing, a place routinely frequented by staff and guests. CBS News added that the location was a common area storage facility cubby, a place where White House personnel and visitors regularly store their cell phones.
In the immediate aftermath of the discovery, the White House was temporarily evacuated on Sunday.
In an earlier version of the story, the powder was reportedly found in the White House library, a part of the executive residence two floors below the first family’s living quarters.
Despite the unfolding controversy, the White House has remained silent about the incident.
Hunter Biden, President’s son, known for his struggles with addiction, was with his father at Camp David when the cocaine was discovered.

How the Jordan Option will impact Israel
By Ted Belman
The Jordan Option, as articulated by me and MudarZahran, the Secretary General of the Jordan Opposition
Coalition, anticipates that King Abdullah will abdicate
, willingly or otherwise, and that Mudar Zahran will take over
Jordan as its leader.
Dr Mudar Zahran is very open as to what his intentions are
once in power.
- He wants to cooperate with Israel rather than confront Israel
- Jordan will uphold its own Citizenship Act of 1952 which grants everyone who has lived in Palestine while under the Hashemite rule, and their descendants, an automatic citizenship
- Jordan will allow all Palestinians, living elsewhere, to emigrate to Jordan.
- Jordan will replace UNRWA as the provider of services to all Palestinian refugees of which 2 million live west of the Jordan River
- Jordan will invite the said two million refugees to emigrate to Jordan to receive the said services which include social security, healthcare and education.
- Jordan will build a new city to house 1 million emigrants. It will be built by the emigrants. All emigrants will receive a new house free of charge. The estimated cost of each house if $30,000.
- The Peace Treaty between Jordan and Israel will be reaffirmed as will the Jordan River be reaffirmed as the international boundary.
- The Palestinian textbooks will be rewritten by a joint task force to reflect in the main the Jewish narrative with appropriate nods to the Arab perspective. These new text books will be studied by all Palestinians in Jordan or Israel.
- Jordan will join the Abraham Accords.
This new reality will affect Israel in the following way;
- The Palestinians living west of the River will no longer be stateless. They will be Jordanian citizens living in Israel as foreign residents.
- Thus, Israel will be able to extend its sovereignty over the entire area without the need to grant citizenship to the Palestinians living west of the River. The reason this is so is because when you annex land or claim sovereignty over land, there is no law which obligates you to grant citizenship to citizens of foreign countries who may live there.
- Israel will extradite all Palestinian prisoners to Jordan and Jordan will accept them.
- These Jordanian/Palestinians will be entitled to live in Area A and B as delineated by the Oslo Accords, as foreign residents with full autonomy just as they do now.
- Over the next few years Jordan will replace the PA as the administrator of these areas and the PA will wither away.
- All Palestinians will be incentivized to emigrate to Jordan with funds provided by Israel, the Gulf States and the US as announced in the Bahrain Workshop
- The Oslo Accords will be subsumed in the Jordan-Israel Peace Treaty.
- Gaza will be designated as another Area A. Hamas will be outlawed and Jordan will administer it.
The notion that both sides had more to gain by cooperating
rather than confronting is what gave the Abraham Accords
impetus and inspiration and is at the root of the Jordan Option.
Such a notion drove the short-lived Feisal/Weizmann
Agreement of 1919. The essence of this agreement was that
Palestine as it then was, was to be divided into two states, one
for the Arabs and one for the Jews. Chaim Weizmann, on
behalf of the Jews, agreed to help develop the Arab state and
King Feisal agreed to welcome Jewish settlement in the
Jewish state and favored friendly cooperative relations.
The Jordan Option, when implemented, will prove to
be the biggest game-changer since the Six Day War.

Joe Biden keeps snubbing Netanyahu – here’s why
By LAWRENCE J. HAAS, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR
President Joe Biden’s state dinner for Indian Prime
Minister Narendra Modi, a Hindu nationalist who is
cracking down on opposition leaders, journalists and
minorities, points up the compromises presidents
make as they balance America’s security needs with
its desire to promote freedom and democracy around
the world.
Biden seeks closer U.S. ties with India, which recently
became the world’s most populous country, as a
counterweight to an expansionist China, which is
challenging U.S. power and influence in the Pacific
and beyond.
It’s an old story. Since World War II, presidents have
met with many of the world’s leading autocrats when
they thought U.S. security exigencies outweighed
human rights concerns. FDR and Truman met with
Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin to help win the war and
design the post-war world; Nixon met with Chinese
leader Mao Zedong to nourish a Sino-American
partnership to offset Soviet power; Carter met with
Iran’s Shah and Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd to
maintain key regional ties; and Reagan met with
Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang, Philippine dictator
Ferdinand Marcos and Zimbabwean strongman
Robert Mugabe as part of his overarching Cold War
strategy.
Along with Modi, Biden has met with (among others)
China’s increasingly authoritarian leader Xi Jinping
, Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and Saudi
Arabia’s human rights-abusing Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).
All of which raises a question: Why won’t Biden meet
with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?
To be sure, Israel is experiencing the most
tumultuous period at home in its 75-year history
, with the country deeply divided, hundreds of
thousands protesting in the streets and mayhem in
the West Bank. That certainly would complicate the
atmospherics around a bilateral meeting (though not
more than the complications spurred by Biden’s
meetings with Modi, Xi, Putin and MBS).
Netanyahu, an increasingly controversial and
polarizing figure at home and abroad, heads
a rightwing coalition that remains committed to a
judicial overhaul that could threaten the nation’s
vibrant democracy. Meanwhile, Israeli settlers and
Palestinians are engaged in a violent and sometimes
murderous tit-for-tat in the West Bank, and key
coalition members scoff at concerns over Palestinian
victims.
Nevertheless, Biden’s refusal to invite Netanyahu to
the White House remains mystifying. What can it be
about?
It can’t be about human rights, because Israeli human
rights violations pale in comparison to those of the
autocrats with whom Biden has already met.
Xi is overseeing atrocities that include torture, rape,
forced labor and sterilization against more than
1 million Muslim Uyghurs in the country’s northwest
region. Putin launched a brutal war to subjugate
Ukraine in which his soldiers are targeting, killing,
raping and torturing Ukrainians while sending
hundreds of their children to Russia.
MBS directed the assassination and dismemberment
of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. His
government executes minors, treats women as
second-class citizens and targets dissidents at home
and abroad. And, as noted above, Modi is striking out
against political opponents, journalists and
minorities.
It can’t be about major strategic differences, because
Washington and Jerusalem remain aligned on key
regional goals (if not the means of reaching them).
Both want to contain Iran’s advancing nuclear and
related ballistic missile programs, and both want to
achieve the potential regional game-changer of
Saudi-Israeli peace.
It can’t be about Israeli territorial infringements
, because Israeli settlements that might infringe on a
future Palestinian state pale in comparison to the
territorial conquests or aspirations of at least Xi and
Putin.
Under Xi, China is threatening to take Taiwan by
force, exchanging gunfire with India along their
disputed border, conducting military exercises to
stimulate attacks against Japan’s Nansei Islands and
building and militarizing more than a half-dozen
islands in disputed areas of the South China Sea.
Under Putin, Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 and still
occupies about 20 percent of that country. He is
cutting those Russian-controlled areas off from the
rest of the country. Meanwhile, Putin seized and
annexed Crimea in 2014, encouraged the activities of
Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine’s east and
, even in the midst of military setbacks and threats to
his rule, continues his conquest of Ukraine.
And it can’t be about personal animus toward
Netanyahu, because he’s surely met with more
difficult leaders.
Biden has served as a foreign policy-minded senator,
vice president and president now for the last half-
century. He’s traveled the world many times over and,
whether overseas or at home, has met with scores if
not hundreds of foreign leaders. Some were warm
and easygoing, but at least as many surely were
mean, nasty and deceitful enough to make Israel’s
prime minister seem charming by comparison.
So, why won’t he invite Netanyahu to the White
House?
Here’s a guess: Biden and his team are seized by the
same longstanding affliction as the broader Western
foreign policymaking intelligentsia, which is to hold
Israel to a higher standard of moral purity than any
other nation on earth.
That will do nothing but complicate U.S.-Israeli
relations, thrill Israel’s adversaries and tempt
Jerusalem to seek questionable alliances elsewhere
— as we already see with Netanyahu’s planned visit to
China.
On this one, Biden should get off his diplomatic high
horse. If he can meet with Xi, Putin, MBS and Modi
, he can meet with Netanyahu, the leader of America’s
closest and most reliable Middle East ally.

"We The People" are entitled to many re-alignments in the way Congress is treated by unelected bureaucrats. One of the most important is when they are called upon to appear before Congress. In this case they must lose any right to refuse attending. If they wish to take the 5th that is their Constitutional right but they should have none regarding appearance.
We also should have a president as well as an Atty Gen., IRS and FBI that are not corrupt.
Another correction relates to unions. They no longer serve their intended purpose and their power needs to be reduced, particularly the one that professes to educate our youth.
When Andy Stern left the CIO to run government unions he more than doubled their income and this cost was transferred to the public but no comparable benefits accrued.
We must begin to set about embracing events that restore our faith in Government.

I always maintained government should have allowed SS recipients to place 1/3 of their money, if they chose, in a S&P ETF. This would have been good for the economy and capitalism and over time retirees would have had extensive retirement wealth.

China does NOT hold the largest amount of U.S. DEBT; U.S. Social Security Administration does!
A woman, or man dies at age 65 before collecting one benefit check.
She/He and her employer paid into the system for almost 50 years and she collected NOTHING
Keep in mind all the working people that die every year who were
paying into the system and got nothing.
And these governmental morons mismanaged the money and stole from the system, so that it's now going broke.
BEAUTIFUL!
And they have the audacity to call today's seniors "vultures" in an
attempt to cover their ineptitude.
DISGRACEFUL!
The real reason for renaming our Social Security payments is so the
government can claim that all those social security recipients are
receiving entitlements thus putting them in the same category as
welfare, and food stamp recipients.
By changing the name of SS contributions, it gives them a means to
refute this program in the future. It's free money for the government
to spend under this guise.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a
Federal Benefit Payment ?
This is NOT a benefit.
It is OUR money, paid out of our earned income!
Not only did we all contribute to Social Security, but our employers
did too! It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to
$180,000 invested in Social Security.
If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social
security ($375/month, including both you and your employers’
contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved .
This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out
only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month
That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security
benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security
Administration. (Google it – it's a fact).
And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're
98 if you retire at age 65)!
I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.
Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did (or Lyndon Johnson).
They took our money and used it elsewhere. They "forgot"(oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They did not have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the
money to them...and they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed.
And recently they have told us that the money won't support us for
very much longer. (Isn't it funny that they NEVER say this about
welfare payments ?)
But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add
insult to injury, they are calling it a benefit, as if we never worked
to earn every penny of it
This is stealing !
Just because they borrowed the money, does not mean that our
investments were for charity!

Surge in Palestinian terror is a preview of a two-state ‘solution’
Allowing Jenin to remain a base for attacks would be a replay of Israel’s Gaza disaster. So why are Biden and liberal Jews still fixated on turning that nightmare into reality?
By JONATHAN S. TOBIN
The international reaction to the recent surge in Palestinian terrorism and Israel’s operation in Jenin to take out the gunmen and infrastructure of the groups responsible for the bloodshed has been as predictable as it is depressing. Though the Biden administration has paid lip service to the notion that Israelis have the right to defend themselves, the general tone of press coverage and commentary from Washington and the international community has been the usual mantra about a pointless “cycle of violence” and worries about the declining chances of a two-state solution to the problem.
Critics of Israel’s government—both domestic and foreign—are right to describe the operation in Jenin as not providing a definitive answer to the problem of terrorism. But they are missing the main conclusion that should be drawn. Far from all these troubling events making it even clearer that the world must pressure Israel to accept a Palestinian state next to Israel, the fighting actually provides us with a preview of what such a scheme would mean for both sides.
Jenin, which under the “anybody but Bibi” coalition that led Israel for 18 months in 2021 and 2022 had become a mini-Gaza—a no-go zone for both the Palestinian Authority and Israeli forces. The terrorist stronghold is dominated by Hamas and the radical Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and bolstered by funding from their Iranian ally. Unlike Gaza, Israeli ground forces can still move into Jenin. But the Israel Defense Forces’ operation, which by all accounts was a major tactical success leading to the deaths of terrorists and the degrading of their infrastructure, was still much like other periodic efforts undertaken by the military in Gaza to “mow the grass” in that it provided merely temporary relief.
No one should be under any illusions that the terrorists won’t rebuild or that the P.A.—led by the corrupt Fatah Party and its leader, Mahmoud Abbas—will take it back or suppress the terrorists as they are obligated to do under the Oslo Accords that empowered it. Indeed, Fatah operatives are as supportive of terrorism as their Islamist rivals.
The conclusion to be drawn from this is that if Israel were ever so foolish as to succumb to foreign pressure and grant sovereignty to the Palestinians there, the entire area would become, like Gaza, a terrorist state.
It’s true that, at least in principle, two states for two peoples would be the most logical way to end the century-long war against Zionism that the Palestinians have been waging. But the fact that not even the so-called moderates among them, like Abbas, are prepared to recognize the legitimacy of a Jewish state no matter where its borders are drawn and who have repeatedly rejected such a state if it was predicated on those terms means that there is no “solution” to the problem.
The talk about the vicious cycle of attack and counterattack to describe recent events is predominantly rooted in a narrative that places most of the onus for the current state of affairs on Israel’s government. The general assumption is that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s current coalition of right-wing and religious parties is responsible for outraging Palestinian sensibilities by allowing Jews to build more homes in existing towns and villages in Judea and Samaria, which is misleadingly referred to as “expanding West Bank settlements.”
The increase in bloody attacks on Jews in the territories, as well as in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other parts of the country the international community recognizes as part of the Jewish state, is most often credited to anger about the continued Jewish presence in those “settlements” or because of some illegal and deplorable reprisal attacks carried out by “settlers” against Arabs.
Yet the depiction of even the most gruesome acts of Arab terrorism as merely an understandable, if deplorable, tit-for-tat scenario in which no one is in the right contributes to the demonization of Israel and its people. Discourse about the conflict remains stuck in a mindset that sees the Palestinians solely as victims, no matter what they do. That is buttressed by the intersectional mindset that sees them as an oppressed people being pushed around by “white” colonial Israel. It’s what enables them to depict, as one BBC host did, an effort to take out a terrorist group as another example of Israelis “being happy to kill children.” And it allows The New York Times to falsely report that Hamas and PIJ are solely protesting the “occupation” of the West Bank, rather than being committed to Israel’s extinction.
Part of this prejudice against Israel and Jewish rights is rooted in antisemitism. But the point here is that rather than enabling an end to the violence, every Israeli withdrawal or concession—whether the Oslo Accords that led to Jenin being a terror stronghold in 2002 as well as today or the 2005 retreat from Gaza—hasn’t encouraged peace or coexistence. It has merely motivated the Palestinians to hold onto to their fantasies about reversing the history of the region and to believe that they still have a chance to eventually succeed in wearing down Israel.
For all of the mistakes he has made in his first 30 months in office, President Joe Biden hasn’t repeated the same one made by all of his recent predecessors by offering his own Middle East peace plan to make a two-state solution happen. Still, the administration’s retreat from its predecessors’ policies aimed at making Palestinians realize that they have lost their war and must accept reality has contributed to the Arab intransigence that makes the current upsurge in violence inevitable.
In particular, Washington’s recent decision to cease scientific and technological cooperation with Israeli institutions in Judea and Samaria like Ariel University does more to fuel violence than building homes for Jews in the region. This embrace of a BDS-style boycott sends a signal to the groups it labels as terrorists and their supporters that they must continue fighting rather than giving up.
Above all, those who deplore both Israeli and Palestinian actions as equally wrong are ignoring the plain evidence that rather the end the conflict, making Jenin a place where Israeli forces would be as unable to enter in the future as Gaza would simply replicate the same situation as currently exists in the Strip. Rather than gaining support because of Abbas’s failure to create a state, Hamas and PIJ are on the rise because they promise to keep fighting Israel until it is destroyed. Two states do not correlate into peace. It would simply make Israel’s already difficult security dilemma even more dangerous.
This isn’t something most people want to hear. The implacable nature of the Palestinian refusal to accept Israel is rooted in religious and cultural ideas that are alien to most Americans. And accepting that there is no answer to this terrible problem in sight is something that also runs counter to Jewish millenarian and utopian ideals that envision the arc of history always bending towards progress, justice and peace. Confronting a future in which Israel will always have to be on guard against forces seeking to destroy it and in which American Jews are obligated to support their efforts is a similarly unattractive vision.
Backing terrorism and the commitment to keep rejecting Israel among Palestinians that has been on display in the territories is a reminder that the international and American determination to double down on working for two states is actually contributing to the problem, not helping solve it. Perhaps sometime in the distant future, it might be possible to imagine a situation where Palestinians have undergone a sea change in their political culture, and two states won’t be a prescription for more violence. Until then, it’s a pipe dream that does far more harm than good.
And:
Israeli murdered in Samaria shooting attack, residents ordered into homes:
A terrorist opened fire on security guards near Kedumim. One Israeli was murdered the terrorist was neutralized.
Israel National News
An Israeli man was murdered by a Palestinian Arab terrorist who opened fire on Israeli security guards on Thursday near the town of Kedumim in Samaria.
According to an initial investigation, the terrorist opened fire on Israeli security guards near the Mitzpeh Yishai neighborhood and then proceeded to the nearby Jit junction, where a firefight with Israeli security forces ensued until he was eliminated.
According to the IDF, "security forces identified and stopped a suspicious vehicle for inspection. During the inspection, an assailant inside the vehicle opened fire toward them. The forces responded with live fire, and the assailant fled. IDF soldiers and civilian security personnel pursued the assailant and engaged and neutralized him."
IDF homefront command activated the town's alarm system and ordered residents to enter their homes.
Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant are being updated on the situation. The Hamas terror organization praised the attack but did not claim responsibility.
In response to the attack, MK Danny Dannon (Likud) called for the military to carry out targeted assassinations, "the struggle against terrorism does not end at the end of any operation. The state of Israel must continue eliminating terrorists."

He lied about the level of manufacturing, he ignored the impact of current inflation which he caused by making us both energy dependent as well as increasing the cost of everything by imposing billions of dollars of new and crippling regulations.
He further lied about the economy he inherited which was growing around 5% plus while, his own economy is growing at a pathetic rate of less than 2% and so it goes.
Obviously Biden is selective in what factual figures he chooses to repeat and the mas media are too dumb, when it comes to economics, to correct his lies.
One thing, even the dumbest American knows the cost of living is higher than the rise in wages. The announced increase in employment happens to be inflationary and The Fed, apparently, now intends to raise rates or at least the market thinks so because it sank.
I have yet to mention the trillions of inflationary dollars he added to the deficit with his spending while he tells us he repaid 1.7 trillion.
The prospects of a soft landing has been dealt a blow because inflation remains persistent and it may take years before it returns to lower levels.
Pinocchio must believe repeating lies will cause them to become accepted. The subject of economics is foreign to most lay people because it is very complex. Even knowledgeable economists are frequently wrong (Think Yellin who is now in China trying to get them to treat us as a continuing world power, Blinken having failed after his pathetic visit.)
Our economic decline need not have occurred but Biden and his Green friends chose to impose decisions that were not only wrong but also worsened our economic prospects due to the way we reacted to the Covid Pandemic.
Woe Is Us.
