The Biden reelection campaign tells me to fear MAGA and Donald Trump. I fear the Biden administration and its moral bankruptcy.
It’s been a grim 48 hours in the Middle East, as summarized here by Caitlin Johnstone:
In the span of just a few hours we learned that Israel committed a horrific massacre at al-Shifa hospital, struck an Iranian consulate in Syria killing multiple Iranian military officers, and killed a vehicle full of international aid workers in an airstrike. This murderous regime is out of control.
Out of control, indeed. The Biden administration claims it’s frustrated with the Netanyahu government, so how does it show its frustration? By approving the sale of more F-35 jets to Israel, together with more bombs to turn what’s left of Gaza into rubble. Just what Israel needs: 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs. That’s 1.8 kilotons of bombs right there, added to a bomb tonnage against Gaza that has already reached Hiroshima and Nagasaki levels. But I guess it’s OK if you drop thousands of bombs rather than just two atomic bombs.
Meanwhile, I saw this morning that the Biden administration is pressing to sell up to 50 newly built F-15 jets to Israel, a sale that will require Congressional approval. Not to worry – that sale will be approved.
Way to punish Israel, Joe Biden!
Even Trump, who’s professed his love of Israel, is not as slavishly obedient to Netanyahu as Biden is.
And the Palestinians in Gaza? They simply don’t matter, else the Biden administration wouldn’t be providing all those bombs and warplanes to Israel.
We need regime change in Washington, D.C.
MAGA, however, isn’t the answer. We don’t need to make America great again. We need to make America moral, ethical, compassionate, and humane. MAMECH?

DESDE QUITO. COMO DICE EL ARTICULISTA BUENA MANERA DE BIDEN DE MOSTRAR SU DISGUSTO. QUE TRISTEZA. ES NECESARIO UNA NUEVA VISION DE LOS EEUU SOBRE EL MUNDO, TERMINA SU IMPERIO GUERRERISTA PERO SERIA TRASCENDENTE UN NUEVO IMPERIO DEL BIEN PARA TODA LA HUMANIDAD.
MAMECH, means voting OUT the Two Parties. Vote Third Party, Write Ins, from local to national levels, it is the only way to restore our Republic.
Unfortunately, “that ain’t gonna happen.”
I fear the Biden and Trump Administrations. It will be more of the same after the election. So many people don’t vote because the duopoly parties are the only ones getting elected and they get no Electoral College votes.
The Duopoly Parties are war parties when they are in charge even if some of their members criticize the other parties for being war parties.
I’m voting for West, he wants to end the wars the US is fighting and the wars its funding for Israel and Ukraine and wants to end NATO and US Bases in foreign lands. So does Stein but West will get more votes.
The Biden administration never have had any morals from the beginning.
no kidding, like he’s changed? nope, he’s a mass murderer.
Can we all agree that it is time to mow Israel’s grass?
If you are tired of these obscenities, and after 5000+ years you should be, then end their cause and source: end the State and the perversity of rulership.
