Little wonder American's are losing confidence in our military.  Biden and Obama are doing everything in their power to diminish our power by increasing the discord, changing the mission /role from protecting America  to losing to our adversaries.  The focus is now on social engineering and other nonsense. 

You would have thought, during the recent mid terms, the GOP candidates would have devised  a co-ordinated message and all candidates would be saying the same thing but effective campaigning is not one of the GOP's forte.

When sexual proclivities, color of one's skin, LGBTQ  etc. becomes the emphasis and competency comes last it is understandable why the military is not meeting their enlistment needs.  Who wants to volunteer to join the military and be involved in polarization and politization.

Everything about America is undergoing radical change and in the opposite direction the 'founding fathers' intended or would ever have dreamt.

We are currently witnessing a young punk on TV  blithely  apologizing, for having lost billions of invested dollars, to investors who obviously thought he was a genius when, in fact, he was a fund raising shill for Democrats.

If fat cat Democrats don't protect him, he will eventually occupy some comfy cell for a spell. But then a double standard judicial system might eventually save his behind. After all he did not mean to screw up and he has been on a mea culpa campaign.   

The dude in question is really not to blame.  His parents are two hokey California Professors who raised him to believe there are no consequences for one's actions because life is simply an ice cream cone and a bowl of cherries.

I rest my case.  

Will Blinken be joined by "NOD?" or is he napping or lost his place?

Blinken To Headline Anti-Israel J Street Conference

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to headline a conference held by one of the foremost anti-Israel groups in the country, a move that is being interpreted as a shot at Israel's newly elected government led by incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Blinken on Wednesday announced that he will serve as the headline speaker at the annual conference for J Street, which as recently as last month trashed Netanyahu, accusing the incoming prime minister of "building and bulldozing [his] way to permanent, undemocratic control of the West Bank." The group also advocates conditioning U.S. aid to Israel, routinely attacks the Jewish state for defending itself against Palestinian terrorism, and employs notoriously terrible pumpkin carvers. It is funded by liberal anti-Israel billionaire George Soros, though the organization initially tried to hide this fact, as well as by far-left groups such as the Ploughshares Fund, one of the chief proponents of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.

The conference kicks off this weekend, with Blinken set to address the confab on Sunday, alongside former Bernie Sanders adviser and longtime Israel critic Matt Duss, Daily Beast writer Wajahat Ali, a cadre of pro-Palestinian activists, and several Democratic members of Congress, including Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.) and senator-elect Peter Welch (D., Vt.).

Blinken's decision to attend J Street's headline event is eliciting concerns at Foggy Bottom and sparking outrage among friends of the Jewish state already aggrieved at the Biden administration's decision last month to launch an unprecedented FBI investigation into the death in Israel of a Palestinian-American journalist. Israel determined that the journalist was unintentionally shot by its security forces during a standoff with Palestinian terrorists.

Multiple sources, both within and outside the State Department, who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon said Blinken's decision to attend J Street's conference is part of an effort by the Biden administration to undermine the new Netanyahu government and distance itself from the incoming prime minister's conservative coalition.

"It's repugnant that while Israelis are being repeatedly targeted by terrorists, and the [Department of Justice] launches an unwarranted and politicized investigation of our ally, the secretary of state thinks it's a good idea to elevate an organization that spends its time demanding aid to Israel be conditioned and criticizing the Jewish state for defending herself," Sandra Parker, the chairwoman of the CUFI Action Fund, told the Free Beacon in a statement.

While Blinken is not the first secretary of state to address a J Street conference—then-secretary John Kerry and then-vice president Joe Biden both spoke in 2016—the timing of his address is being viewed as highly symbolic. The Biden administration in December took the extraordinary step of launching a Justice Department investigation into the shooting of a Palestinian-American reporter by the Israel Defense Forces.

Israel in September conducted its own independent review in cooperation with the U.S. State Department, and U.S. lawmakers are accusing the administration—given the president's support for an additional FBI investigation—of kowtowing to radical elements in the Democratic Party who seek to transform Israel into a pariah state.

 senior State Department official told the Free Beacon that "attending this J Street event is like a blatant and obvious attempt to stick Bibi [Netanyahu] in the eye."

"Unfortunately," said the source, who was not authorized to speak on record, "it has the effect of undermining our relationship with Israel, and thus U.S. national security."

It's not the first sign that the Biden administration is less than elated at Netanyahu's reascension to power last month. Biden waited days to congratulate the newly elected Israeli leader, drawing accusations the president was trying to isolate Netanyahu's conservative government before it even was seated.

"The Biden administration is filled with partisans who hate Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. They banned the use of the phrase ‘Abraham Accords,' couldn't bring themselves to have President Biden call Netanyahu to congratulate him until their silence became comical, and now they're even unleashing the FBI," Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) told the Free Beacon. "So of course Secretary Blinken is going to J Street, an anti-Israel activist group that also criticized the Abraham Accords, loathes Netanyahu, and regularly calls for investigations against Israel. It's both disgraceful and predictable."

One former Israeli government official told the Free Beacon the administration is not even trying to hide its disdain for Netanyahu and his conservative coalition.

"This is simply bad diplomatic strategy," said the source, who would only speak on background so as not to upset either government. "Speaking to J Street may displease the incoming Israeli government, but they're hardly afraid of the lobby. This doesn't send a message of strength but rather one of petulance. Secretary Blinken should know better.
