Gallant: IDF to retain security control in Gaza after Hamas defeated

The Israeli defense minister likened the prospect to the security paradigm in Judea and Samaria

By AKIVA VAN KONINGSVELD +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Media Outlets Continue To Conceal the Appalling Truth About UNRWA The recent revelations about the connections between UNRWA employees and Hamas will come as no surprise to anyone acquainted with the organization's history of corruption, incitement, and coordination with terror groups. Despite all of this — specifically, the disturbing truth about UNRWA being laid bare — a peculiar incredulity emerged among media outlets regarding the latest revelations. This was followed by a rush to either downplay the findings or engage in excessive handwringing about the potential consequences for Palestinians without UNRWA.

He and his team have identified the driving forces behind the destructive radicalism which is pushing us into a cultural civil war. by Newt Gingrich Scott Rasmussen has done America an enormous service. He and his team have identified the driving forces behind the destructive radicalism which is pushing us into a cultural civil war. While doing their two weekly national surveys, Rasmussen and his team noticed an anomaly. Out of every 1,000 or so respondents, there would always be three or four who were far more radical than everyone else. After several months of finding these unusual responses, Rasmussen realized they all shared three characteristics. The radical responses came from people who had graduate degrees (not just graduate studies), family incomes above $150,000 a year, and lived in large cities (more than 10,000 people per zip code). When Rasmussen aggregated the responses from more than 20 surveys, he realized these people made up a unique elite 1 percent. He then did a national survey of only people with these characteristics – and found some astonishing results. He briefed me and our team on the findings – and joined me on Newt’s World to talk about it further. When all other voters gave President Joe Biden a 41 percent job approval, the elite 1 percent rated him at 82 percent approval. The elite 1 percent are surprisingly young. Sixty-seven percent are between 35 and 54 years old. They are 86 percent white. Almost half of them (47 percent) favor “Sanders-like policies.” They are overwhelmingly Democrats (73 percent). The gap between the elite 1 percent and the rest of America is startling. While 57 percent of all voters say there is not enough individual freedom in America, 47 percent of the elite 1 percent say there is too much freedom. If you ask the section of the group that is politically obsessed (people who talk politics every day), 69 percent say there is too much individual freedom in America.  Given this, it’s not surprising that the elite 1 percent have great faith in government. Some 70 percent trust government to do the right thing most of the time. Rasmussen said that this project has revealed the scariest single polling number he has seen in nearly 35 years of studying popular opinion. According to his data, 35 percent of the elite 1 percent (and 69 percent of the politically obsessed elite 1 percent) said they would rather cheat than lose a close election. Among average Americans, 93 percent reject cheating and accept defeat in an honest election. Only 7 percent reported they would cheat.  While only 6 percent of most voters have a very favorable opinion of members of Congress, 69 percent of the elite 1 percent have a very favorable view (this is almost unimaginable). While 10 percent of all voters have a favorable view of journalists, the elite 1 percent really like them (71 percent favorable). While 17 percent of all voters have a favorable view of college professors, the elite 1 percent just love them (76 percent). This tracks, because many of the elite 1 percent may be college professors. To illustrate the scale of the gap between the elite 1 percent and the rest of the country, consider the elite 1 percent’s views on climate issues (and understand that these ideas are opposed by 63 percent to 83 percent of most Americans). 77 percent of the elite 1 percent would like to impose strict restrictions and rationing on the private use of gas, meat, and electricity. 72 percent of the elite 1 percent favor banning gas powered vehicles. 69 percent of the elite 1 percent favor banning gas stoves. 58 percent of the elite 1 percent favor of banning sport utility vehicles. 55 percent of the elite 1 percent favor banning non-essential air travel. 53 percent of the elite 1 percent favor banning private air conditioning. As Rasmussen noted, the degree to which the elite 1 percent think their views represent those of the average American is astonishing. According to Rasmussen, the most radical of the elite 1 percent were educated at what he calls the “dirty dozen:” Harvard, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern, John’s Hopkins, Columbia, Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton, Cornell, MIT, and the University of Chicago. The elite 1 percent who graduated from these schools deeply believe in government. Fifty-five percent believe there is too much individual freedom in America and that Americans should obey government and follow government leadership. Rasmussen’s identification of the elite 1 percent begins to explain the depth of the tension between most Americans and the tiny group of elitists who control what Vladimir Lenin called “the commanding heights,” the elements of power which control the rest. It is the elite 1 percent who dominate the universities, news media, judiciary, intelligence agencies, giant foundations, and most major corporations. Although they are relatively few, they marry each other, their children go to the same schools, and they hire and promote each other. Charles Murray in his classic work, “Coming Apart,” analyzed zip codes and proved that graduates from “dirty dozen” universities that Rasmussen described live, work and play in the same zip codes. They are an isolated set and create a “power aristocracy” that has no knowledge of the rest of us – and contempt for most of us. This perfectly explains Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” line. Scott Rasmussen has done pioneering work. Every American should read “The Elite 1% and the Battle for America’s Soul” to understand what we are fighting to change. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++   Daily Caller’s ‘Rigged’ Reveals The Shocking History Of Voter Fraud In America   Read more →

It should now be obvious, most anything Biden chooses to do is either based on vindictiveness and/or stupidity. Worst of all, a lot of what he does, fails.

Biden's belief in the Davos Green Nonsense, hawked by Greta Thornburg, the depressed  child who never had a youth, and former Senator Kerry, the Senator who has few intellectual scruples, must have caught his attention because it seemed politically appealing to the radical lefties who have taken over the Democrat Party.

 Also, Biden thought he would be able to stick it to Trump's energy decision to drill, drill, drill. Consequently, curtailing drilling for oil not only caused the loss of good paying jobs, crippled towns where the workers lived, became the genesis of our inflation but it also returned America to being energy dependent upon our adversaries.

Apparently, what Biden knows about the oil business could be put in a thimble. He just does not have a "slant" on "dirty" energy technology.

He even stopped completion of the Keystone Pipeline choking delivery of tar-sand oil from Canada. Then a train wreck full of oil destroyed a city with that Middle Eastern name, if memory serves me correctly.

Meanwhile, oil industry folks decided to improve their ability to get more oil from their current wells so America is now back to producing more oil than we can drink.  

While all this was occurring, Biden drew upon stored oil to keep the price of gasoline from going to $10.00/gallon and now he is replacing these strategic reserves, stored in case of war, at higher prices. 

I seriously doubt this was part of his Biden-omics strategy.

Ah, the story does not end there, however.  So let's update ourselves.

About a week ago, Biden and his know nothing youthful energy staffers decided to curtail the building  infrastructure sought by an American Ship Company that delivers LNG to Europe. Buying this product from America helps reduce our trade imbalance and tamps down the Biden inflation spiral.

On the other hand, it also means Europe may be forced to turn to Russia as our ability to provide them with LNG could decrease.

Now we come to another juicy fact. Apparently the youthful gang in The White House may not have been aware, when you drill for oil gas is very often a by-product. Consequently, if there is no demand for that gas it is flared, ie. burned which impacts the atmosphere at the drilling site.

The demand for oil is not going to disappear and, in fact, as more supposed clean manufactured products are mandated, the need for increased oil and gas will be required. Furthermore, demanding American manufacturers reduce the impact on our atmosphere, while China continues to increase their use of coal, we place ourselves  at an economic and competitive disadvantage.  Why?  Because we are increasing our productivity costs.

Nuclear power was the answer but lawyers and Nimbies drove the cost up with burdensome legislation, eternal law suits all resulting in expensive delays. Energy from Hydrogen Fusion is yet a scientific solution but offers hope and could become as crucial as the invention of the wheel.

Oil goes into making plastics and that, alone, touches virtually everything we use in our daily lives but this seems to have been an inflationary afterthought for Biden.

Obviously, the Saudi's are re-thinking their own economic future and are planning for diminishing their dependence on their massive oil reserves but we are still talking about 25 or more years.

So here we are, stuck with a vindictive, ignorant president who never held a job outside the walls of Congress making decisions that impact a resource we are blessed to have, making it's production more costly and restricting our ability to sell it to worthy buyers.
