Rumble: Nickelodeon has gone full woke in their latest video aimed at young children featuring a drag queen teaching kids about race-baiting LGBTQ politics.
"Baby blue, pink and white represent transgender people because every letter in LGBTQ plus is equal. And Black and Brown represent the queer and trans people of color."
Children are far from immune to the leftist obsession with melanin, genitalia, and sexual orientation.
Nickelodeon has gone full woke in their latest video aimed at young children featuring a drag queen teaching kids about race-baiting LGBTQ politics. In April, Nickelodeon featured a video teaching young children about “environmental racism” as a part of “systemic racism”.
Nickelodeon is quite content to use a hard left activist and Drag queen Nina West, who is not shy on social media about bashing President Trump or Republicans in general.
“The ‘pride month’ video is not Nickelodeon’s only promotion of transgenderism to children. The previous week, Blue’s Clues & Youput out a singalong video, also featuring Nina West, where cartoon animals of eclectic “queer” demographics participate in a pride parade.
The children’s network has also cast its first-ever openly transgender teenage actor in a live-action show, Sasha A. Cohen, who will be featured in Nickelodeon’s the series Danger Force.”
Children are far from immune to the leftist obsession with melanin, genitalia, and sexual orientation. Do not think your children will find solace elsewhere. As reported at Fox, the Cartoon Network is also indoctrinating kids:
“Cartoon Network is celebrating LGBTQIA+ kids and families who radiate joy, inclusivity and authentic self-expression,” a narrator says. At one point, a child who goes by the name of “Jax” explains that they use “he/they pronouns.”
The Cartoon Network thanked “amazing partners” Collage and San Diego Pride, who work with young LGBTQI+ children. Here are two tweets from each of the organizations who serve as “partners” to the Cartoon Network:
Singing about the colors in the Pride flag, Nina West serenades young children in part:
“Baby blue, pink and white represent transgender people because every letter in LGBTQ plus is equal. And Black and Brown represent the queer and trans people of color.”
Tom Cotton says Critical Race Theory encourages RACISM in military
In a Senate hearing on Biden's proposed 2022 defense budget, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton said that he received reports that servicepeople were leaving their posts due to racial conflicts, following the introduction of the Critical Race Theory.
Hundreds of whistleblowers have come forward complaining of 'woke' policies including racial segregation of troops for ‘privilege walks’

During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Friday, Senator Tom Cotton revealed shocking stories from whistleblowers in the military detailing how they are being indoctrinated to hate America by superiors who are adopting ‘woke’ practices, including racial segregation.
Cotton detailed how hundreds of people have come forward to warn that there is a “very specific kind of anti-American indoctrination” going on within the military.
The Senator told Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during the hearing that in one instance “Members of the wing were ordered to separate themselves by race and gender in order to stratify people based on their perceived privilege.”
According to the complaint, airmen and women were then sent on “privilege walks.”
“Mr. Secretary, we’re hearing reports of plummeting morale, growing mistrust between the races and sexes, where none existed just six months ago, and unexpected retirements and separations, based on these trainings alone,” Cotton declared.
Cotton described a separate incident, noting a “Marine told us a military history training session was replaced with mandatory training on police brutality, White privilege, and systemic racism.”
“He reported that several officers are now leaving his unit citing that training,” Cotton stated.
The Senator continued, “Another service member told us that their unit was required to read ‘White Fragility’ by Robin DiAngelo, which claims – and this is a quote- ‘White people raised in Western society are conditioned in a White supremacist world view.’”
Austin responded to Cotton’s statements by suggesting that “diversity, equity and inclusion” are now priorities for The Pentagon, and that it wants a military that “looks like America.”
‘Wokeness’ in the military has come under scrutiny recently with weird adverts promoting identity and gender politics, and stories of those who have questioned critical race theory being removed from leadership roles.

A group of Republicans are thankfully starting to pay attention to the people who were arrested in the wake of the events at the Capitol building on January 6, 2021.
A group of Republicans are thankfully starting to pay attention to the people who were arrested in the wake of the events at the Capitol building on January 6, 2021. As RAIR Foundation USA observed on January 9, 2021: “If citizens do not push back against these political arrests, they will only continue and get worse.”
In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland dated June 7, 2021, U.S. Senators Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) addressed the clear disparity in treatment of Capitol protesters versus Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters.
They write in part that the “potential unequal administration of justice with respect to certain protestors is particularly concerning.” There have been reports of “Stop the Steal” Rally protestors being held in solitary confinement 23 hours a day.
The Senators ask about the number of people “incarcerated for allegedly committing crimes associated with the Capitol breach,” and of those, how many “are or were placed in solitary confinement”. According to Insider, 513 people have been charged.
While the Senators refer to January 6th as the “Capitol breach,” is it really a “breach” if police officers opened the doors to the protestors? Consider this video, where police officers were casual with protestors. In the background, someone is chanting “ACAB, ACAB, ACAB.” ACAB is a BLM chant for “All Cops Are Bastards:”
…leftist activists have made an art of swarming into state buildings, often receiving praise for their efforts by politicians and the media. Now, Trump supporters who were waved into the Capitol by police are facing federal charges for something leftist activists do on a regular basis.”
The Senators also want to know how many FBI personnel and DOJ prosecutors have been assigned to work on the events at the Capitol, versus the riots from last summer, that led to at least 25 deaths and caused $2 billion in damage.
The letter asks questions that are to be answered by June 21:
Spring and Summer 2020 Unrest:
Did federal law enforcement utilize geolocation data from defendants’ cell phones to track protestors associated with the unrest in the spring and summer of 2020? If so, how many times and for which locations/riots?
How many individuals who may have committed crimes associated with protests in the spring and summer of 2020 were arrested by law enforcement using pre-dawn raids and SWAT teams?
How many individuals were incarcerated for allegedly committing crimes associated with protests in the spring and summer of 2020?
How many of these individuals are or were placed in solitary confinement? What was the average amount of consecutive days such individuals were in solitary confinement?
How many of these individuals have been released on bail?
How many of these individuals were released on their own recognizance or without being required to post bond?
How many of these individuals were offered deferred resolution agreements?[9]
How many DOJ prosecutors were assigned to work on cases involving defendants who allegedly committed crimes associated with protests in the spring and summer of 2020?
How many FBI personnel were assigned to work on cases involving defendants who allegedly committed crimes associated with protests in the spring and summer of 2020?
January 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol Breach:
Did federal law enforcement utilize geolocation data from defendants’ cell phones to track protestors associated with the January 6, 2021 protests and Capitol breach? If so, how many times and how many additional arrests resulted from law enforcement utilizing geolocation information?
How many individuals who may have committed crimes associated with the Capitol breach were arrested by law enforcement using pre-dawn raids and SWAT teams?
How many individuals are incarcerated for allegedly committing crimes associated with the Capitol breach?
How many of these individuals are or were placed in solitary confinement? What was the average amount of consecutive days such individuals were in solitary confinement?
How many of these individuals have been released on bail?
How many of these individuals have been released on their own recognizance or without being required to post bond?
How many of these individuals were offered deferred resolution agreements?
How many DOJ prosecutors have been assigned to work on cases involving defendants who allegedly committed crimes associated with the Capitol breach?
How many FBI personnel were assigned to work on cases involving defendants who allegedly committed crimes associated with the Capitol breach?
RAIR Foundation USA has some additional questions:
Who, specifically broke windows at the Capitol building other than Black Lives Matter supporter John Sullivan?

Why is a book filled with supremacy, hatred, threats, hostility, and commands to kill non-Muslims given to violent offenders?
A Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Detention Deputy in Florida was punched 25 times in the face and back by two Muslim inmates Friday, causing him to lose consciousness. The attack occurred after the inmates became enraged that the officer handled the inmate’s Qur’an. The officer searched the book during a routine security check for weapons and contraband, often hidden in hollowed-out books.
In many Islamic countries, even accusations of mishandling a Qur’an could mean death. Muslims believe that since non-Muslims are impure, they cannot touch the Qur’an because the book itself instructs, “No one can touch it except those who are pure.” (56:79) They believe that the non-Muslims are impure because they claim the Qur’an states it: “Indeed the polytheists are impure.” (9:28)
Inmates Carlos Dupree and Marion Leo Gavins Jr. were captured on jail video surveillance footage violently attacking the corrections deputy. The pair were going to a religious meeting and requested to bring their religious items with them. According to standard procedure, the Detention Deputy was instructed to search the inmate’s items.
Inmate Gavins’ allowed the Deputy to search his belongings. However, when the officer tried to search Dupree’s religious items, the inmate told him “he would not allow him to search his Quran.” Prison officials reported that the detention deputy tried to reach for the Quran and Dupree shoved the deputy away. The deputy attempted to detainDupree; however, Gavins shoved him into the wall.
The two inmates launched into a brutal attack on the deputy, repeatedly punching him in the back and face until he lost consciousness. Detention Deputy Meyer heard the assault and rushed in to detain the inmates. Despite Deputy Meyer’s help, Gavins continued punching the injured Detention Deputy. The inmates were finally able to be subdued.
The Detention Deputy was rushed to the hospital with head and back pain along with lacerations to his head, back, and forearm. It was suspected he sustained a concussion from the attack and underwent numerous medical tests. Doctors have since released the officer to continue his recovery at home.
Both Gavins and Dupree were already charged with serious crimes before they attacked the Detention Deputy.
Gavins, 20, was charged with first-degree murder in the 2019 killing of 18-year-old Curtis Gray. Gavins shot the star athlete outside of the ‘Blaze N’ Flame Smoke Shop’ in Palm Coast.
Dupree, 34, had been in jail since December 2020 related to a home invasion robbery. His charges included possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, false imprisonment, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, home invasion with a firearm, wearing a mask while committing a felony, and resisting without violence.
Dupree and Gavins are both being additionally charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, and depriving an officer of means of protection or communication.
Why are Qurans Allowed in Prisons
America and western nations allow inmates to have copies of the Qur’an, a dangerous book that preaches hate and violence towards non-Muslims. There are dozens of Quranic commandments about waging violent jihad against infidels.
The Qur’an dehumanizes and stigmatizes non-believers, making it easier for Muslims to rationalize attacks in the name of Islam. As reported at Gatestone,
The holiest book of Islam (most of which is about non-Muslims) draws the sharpest of distinctions between Muslims, the best of people (3:110), and non-believers, the worst of creatures (98:6).
Far from teaching universal love, the Quran incessantly preaches the inferiority of non-Muslims, even comparing them to vile animals and gloating over Allah’s hatred of them and his dark plans for their eternal torture. Muslims are told that they are destined to dominate non-believers, against whom harsh treatment is encouraged.
Why is a book filled with supremacy, hatred, threats, hostility, and commands to kill non-Muslims given to violent offenders? The Muslim men were acting in accordance with the Qur’an, a book approved by the prison. Will the prison ban the book and stop putting non-muslims correctional officer’s lives in danger? Is the Florida Department of corrections ignorant about the calls to violence in the Qur’an or terrified of being labeled Islamophobic?
As reported by the Religion of Peace, the Quran contains at least 109 verses that speak of war with nonbelievers, usually based on their status as non-Muslims. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding.
The Qurans violent verses are very clear:
“O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness, and know that Allah is with the godfearing.” (Qur’an 9:123)
“Fight them, till there is no persecution and religion is all for Allah; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.” (Qur’an 8:39)
“When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers; so strike the necks, and strike every finger of them!” (Qur’an 8:12)
“We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)
For more violent Qur’an verses, see here. To learn more about what the holiest book of Islam says about non-Muslims, see here.
Unfortunately, there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to balance out those calling for non-believers to be fought and subdued until they either accept humiliation, convert to Islam, or are killed.

Universities today are not institutions of higher learning, but indoctrination centers for far-Left propaganda. This did not happen by accident. Qatari money, and money from other pro-jihad entities, has bought much more than anti-Israel propaganda in American colleges and universities. At Georgetown University, Saudi money funds the Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, and its Bridge Initiative, both of which are dedicated to propagating the fictions that Islam is a religion of peace and that Sharia is benign and compatible with democracy an intellectual veneer, while smearing and defaming all those who speak the truth about Islam and Sharia as “Islamophobes.” Georgetown’s faculty is full of Wahhabis, Salafis, and apologists for Islam, including Islamic convert and pro-slavery spokesman Jonathan A. C. Brown. And that’s just Georgetown. Imagine what it must be like at MIT, George Washington U, and the rest.
“Qatar Behind Hostile Israel Statements From American Universities,” by Alex Nester, Washington Free Beacon, June 12, 2021:
Students and faculty at American universities in Qatar issued strikingly similar condemnations of Israel during last month’s Hamas rocket attacks, one result of a longstanding Qatari campaign to shift U.S. public opinion.
Professors at Northwestern University’s Qatar campus issued a letter condemning Israel as an “apartheid” state that commits “crimes against humanity.” Georgetown University in Qatar followed suit. The Qatari government bankrolls these and other American schools, which are located in the capital city of Doha, through the Qatar Foundation, an arm of the regime aimed at promoting Qatari interests abroad.
Qatar is not alone in its attempt to infiltrate American educational institutions. The China-backed Confucius Institute maintains chapters on American university campuses to promote Chinese interests among students. Though former secretary of state Mike Pompeo declared the Confucius Institute an arm of the Chinese Communist Party in August 2020, the Confucius Institute still maintains chapters on 47 U.S. campuses.
The Qatar Foundation spends $405 million per year to support satellite campuses of American universities in Doha, according to the Clarion Project. A separate group, Qatar Foundation International, operates at schools in the United States. Qatar Foundation International is not officially recognized as a foreign agent.
“Qatar wants to exert itself more and position itself as a power player,” Lawfare Project general counsel Gerard Filitti told the Washington Free Beacon. “They want to find a way to influence other countries to predispose them to back agendas. And one way they’ve done so is through education. It’s no secret. The way to influence the next generation of leaders is by educating them.”
Qatar has extended the same hospitality to terrorist leaders as it has to American universities in the regime’s capital. The Free Beacon reported in 2015 that Qatar harbored Khaled Meshaal, a top Hamas official, in a hotel just miles from the American campuses. Qatar has for years funded the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip and in January pledged another $360 million in aid to the terrorists.
According to Filitti, the Qatar Foundation’s ultimate aim is to promote the authoritarian regime’s interests.
“The fact is that the Qatar Foundation is part of and partial to the government agenda, and it’s part of the agenda to support the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and terrorists there,” Filitti said.
It’s not clear whether the Qatar Foundation encouraged their partner colleges to release statements on the recent conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. But within a span of five days, Northwestern and Georgetown did.
A majority of professors at Northwestern University’s Qatar campus accused Israel of “persecution” and “express[ed] their full support” for Palestinians in a letter sent on May 14 to students and staff based in Doha. None of the professors responded to a Free Beacon inquiry about human rights abuses committed by their host country.
Faculty at Georgetown’s Qatar campus issued a letter in which they “recognize[d] that Israel practices apartheid and persecution,” considered “crimes against humanity and violations of international law.” In addition, Dean of Students Ahmad Dallal held a virtual conference on May 19 to discuss the unrest in which he called Israel an “apartheid” state. Dallal hosted the meeting after students demanded that the university fire Zionist professors, punish a Zionist student, and formally back the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.
In addition to Northwestern and Georgetown, Qatar hosts four other American universities in Doha. The other residents of “Education City” are Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Texas A&M, and Virginia Commonwealth University….
“Texas is open 100 percent, and we want to make sure you have the freedom to go where you want without limits,” the Republican governor said before signing the law. “Vaccine passports are now prohibited in the Lone Star State.”
In March, Texas ended its statewide mask mandate and allowed all businesses to open at full capacity after having implemented mandates and restrictions due to the pandemic.
Under Senate Bill (SB) 968, businesses in the state that require customers to be vaccinated against coronavirus (COVID-19) will not be able to enter any state contracts and will be ineligible to receive a grant.
The bill introduced by state Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, covers many aspects of the public health disaster and public health emergency preparedness and response. SB 968 was approved unanimously in April and was passed by a vote of 146-2 by the state House in May.
“No business or government entity can require a person to provide a vaccine passport or any other vaccine information as a condition of receiving any service or entering any place,” said Abbott.
Effective immediately, Texas businesses “may not require a customer to provide any documentation certifying the customer’s COVID-19 vaccination or post-transmission recovery on entry to, to gain access to, or to receive service from the business,” the legislation states.
State agencies in charge of different business sectors can require that businesses comply with the new law as a condition to be authorized to conduct business in Texas.
Businesses can still implement their own COVID-19 infection control protocols “in accordance with state and federal law to protect public health.”
The new law covers that with regard to vaccine passports and it could affect the plans of the Carnival Cruise Line to restart its operations.
The company announced Monday it will soon restart its cruises leaving from Galveston, Texas. However, it only allows vaccinated passengers on board after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it will allow the cruise industry to restart on the condition that 95 percent of crew members and 95 percent of customers are vaccinated. The CDC shut down cruise lines in March last year.
“We are evaluating the legislation recently signed into law in Texas regarding vaccine information,” Carnival spokesperson Vance Gulliksen told the Houston Chronicle in an email. “The law provides exceptions for when a business is implementing COVID protocols in accordance with federal law, which is consistent with our plans to comply with the CDC guidelines.”
Carnival Vista is set to sail out of Galveston on July 3, followed by Carnival Breeze on July 15.
Cruise companies in Florida are facing a similar predicament as they plan to restart their cruises with only vaccinated passengers. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed last month a bill that bans companies from requiring proof of vaccination from customers. Businesses in the state can be fined for requiring customers to show proof of vaccination.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has threatened to leave Florida if it is fined by the state for complying with CDC guidelines and checking vaccine status of its passengers. The company said Monday it would be restarting its cruises from Miami in August with fully vaccinated passengers and crew. (Related: Florida to fine cruise lines that require passengers to show coronavirus vaccine passports.)
The rule changes have left passengers confused, but travel agent Elaine Edwards said most people hoping to get on a cruise soon are already vaccinated, or planning to be before they board.
“I think people are just so excited [because] they didn’t get to cruise last summer, they didn’t get to cruise this winter, that they’re willing to – whatever the cruise line needs me to do, I will do it, because I want to get on that ship,” said Edwards.

(Natural News) A social media “influencer” hired by the White House has been caught trying to bribe hospital systems into procuring fake positive reviews about Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines” in order to encourage more uptake.
Eben Vorster, a “digital relational organizer” at Main Street One, reportedly sent a private message to one institution offering a “paid Instagram partnership for one post” pushing Chinese Virus injections as the solution to the plandemic.
“I am reaching out to you to share a possible content partnership opportunity!” the message announced.
“For this campaign, we are looking for healthcare professionals who would like to address the topic of vaccine hesitancy with their social media audience. We want to hear from you about what the COVID vaccine means to you and why you’re tackling vaccine misinformation in this crucial vaccine rollout period.”
The message goes on to explain that once the targeted person or organization puts up the desired post, it will “get rewarded for your using your voice!”
Since Wuhan Flu shot uptake is dismally low across the United States, the medical fascists are busying trying to conjure up new ways to trick people into getting jabbed.
In Ohio, Republican Gov. Mike DeWine introduced a vaccine lottery to award five “lucky” winners $1 million each in exchange for reprogramming their DNA with mRNA chemicals.
China Joe and his cabinet are taking the tried-and-true influencer approach manipulating the medical system into pushing the injections in exchange for good ol’ cash.
“After all the recent firings of medical professionals for refusing to get vaccinated from the dangerous COVID-19 vaccine, it appears there is now a push to use communist-style fake reviews to push the vaccine even further,” reported Populist.press.
“If the vaccine was so great they wouldn’t have to pay people to rave about it. This is a serious issue and shows how deceitful big pharma and the Biden admin are being.”
Wuhan Flu shots are so “amazing” that Americans must be bullied into taking them
Main Street One, by the way, prides itself on helping to promote “social justice” causes that it claims are changing the world for the better. Included in the “recent work” section of its website are the following boastful posts:
• “We Amplified Latinx Voices To Fight Climate Change” • “We Helped Black Women Get Out the Vote in Georgia” • “What A COVID-19 Vaccine Means To This New Mother” • “Committed To Getting A COVID-19 Vaccine”
Main Street One’s three methods of accomplishing these and other goals include the following:
• “Identify opportunities and risks emerging online” • “Recruit creators and social influencers” • “Persuade audiences via highly personalized content”
As you can see, this fits right into the White House goal of injecting a majority of Americans for Chinese Germs by the Fourth of July, formerly known as “Independence Day.”
Since Americans are not taking the bait as planned, Beijing Biden is now planning to ship off some one billion doses of Chinese Virus injection to third world countries to see if poor people will more easily take them.
Wuhan Flu shots sure have been a tough sell, which if we were really in the throes of a true “pandemic” would probably not require this type of aggressive marketing. Because the whole thing is a sham, however, the medical deep state is attempting every trick in the book to get those needles into people’s arms at “warp speed.”
“Anyone who refuses the vaccine does so on the basis of research,” wrote one commenter at Populist.press. “That kind of hesitancy based on science and plain facts is not going to be ameliorated by some paid shill trying to convince me otherwise.”

President Joe Biden is “caving into Iran” on its nuclear program, Rudy Giuliani charged Sunday.
In an interview with radio host John Catsimatidis on The Cat's Roundtable on WABC 770 AM-N.Y., Giuliani ticked off a series of foreign policy decisions by Biden that were ill-informed — including lifting sanctions on Iranian companies. His remarks were posted by The Hill ahead of the interview’s airing.
“He’s caving into Iran before Iran even wants to make a deal,” Giuliani said of indirect talks between Washington and Tehran aimed at the United States rejoining a 2015 multinational Iran nuclear pact that crumbled after the former President Donald Trump withdrew win 2018.
“He’s already let a couple of very big Iranian terrorist business people off the hook. He’s already taken sanctions away from Iranian companies that have been dealing in oil,” said Giuliani, who served as Trump’s personal lawyer.
“So, already Iran has gotten [concessions], without giving up anything that they want to get from us. It’s the worst way to negotiate a deal, particularly with a regime of terror.”
The State Department has said lifting the sanctions was unrelated to negations on the Obama-era deal.
Giuliani last year also decried the multinational pact with Iran.
The European countries, to Giuliani, “have turned their eyes on a barbaric regime and neglected democracy,” he said last September. “I don’t understand it. They [European countries] lecture us about human rights, but what about the human rights of Iranians? …[T]hey are giving money to the biggest sponsor of terrorism, so don’t they know they are helping give money to terrorists? It wasn’t enough to just give them money — we had to let them become a nuclear power.
“For a U.S. President to turn over cash that murders more people, shows a real deterioration in honor, morality, and care about human rights and suffering.”
On Saturday, European Union negotiators said renewed international talks on the Iran nuclear agreement were on track to revive the deal.
Senior diplomats from China, Germany, France, Russia, and Britain concluded a 90-minute meeting with Iranian representatives at a hotel in the Austrian capital.
"We are making progress, but the negotiations are intense and a number of issues [remain], including on how steps are to be implemented," EU representative Alain Matton told reporters in Vienna.
In his remarks to Catsimatidis, Giuliani also criticized the Biden administration for waiving sanctions on the Russian company behind the Nord Stream 2 pipeline last month, after concluding there was no way to halt construction of the pipeline.
TC Energy, the company behind the Keystone XL Pipeline between the U.S. and Canada, officially scrapped its project after Biden revoked a key permit for it.
Giuliani said Biden has displayed a “level of weakness” comparable to the lead up of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
“He’s gone there and displayed a level of weakness that, I don’t know—” Giuliani charged.
“I remember years ago when Kennedy did this and made that [same] mistake with Khrushchev. Khrushchev took it as a sign of weakness, and we got the Cuban missile crisis,” he continued. “Well, Kennedy straightened them out then, but I’m not sure that Biden will be able to do it.”

Hours before a vote to oust him, outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly accused President Joe Biden of endangering Israel's security by taking a soft line on Iran.
He also compared Biden's Iran policy to the refusal of the U.S. to bomb the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944.
Netanyahu said that the Biden administration had asked him to keep their disagreements on Iran private, Axios reported, but that he refused to do so, valuing his hard line on Iran over smooth relations with the United States. The prime minister depicted himself as the only man standing between Iran and an arsenal of nuclear weapons and claimed Iranians were celebrating his departure.
A motley alliance of Israeli parties on Sunday ousted Netanyahu, the country's longest-serving prime minister, and formed a new government in a seismic shift in the country's turbulent politics.Naftali Bennett, a right-wing Jewish nationalist and former tech millionaire was to take over at the helm of the eight-party bloc, united only by their shared disdain for the hawkish right-wing leader known as Bibi.
Netanyahu, 71, in typically combative style, vowed shortly before his defeat that "if it's our destiny to be in the opposition, we'll do so with our heads high until we take down this bad government and return to lead the country our way".
In his last speech as prime minister, Netanyahu also warned that Bennett, head of a small ultra-nationalist party, would be too weak to stand up to Washington, Axios reported.
“He decided to damage the U.S.-Israel relationship for his own personal interests and is trying to leave scorched earth for the incoming government,” an unnamed senior Israeli diplomat told Axios.
According to the Times of Israel, after his ouster, Netanyahu openly questioned the qualifications of the man he once mentored.
“He doesn’t have the global standing. He doesn’t have the credibility. He doesn’t have the ability and he doesn’t” have the support of his own divided government, Netanyahu said, the news outlet reported.
“The prime minister of Israel must be able to say no to the American government” on issues that threaten Israel, he said, adding that Bennett won’t be able to withstand the pressure, the news outlet reported. “Who will do this now?”
Bennett now leads the most ideologically diverse coalition in Israeli history, spoke before Netanyahu —though he was heckled by Netanyahu allies as a "liar" and "fraud” — taking a hard line on the Iran deal in his speech, saying it was a mistake in 2015 and remains so today. Yet he thanked Biden for his support for Israel and stressing he wants good relations with both parties in Washington, Axios reported.
Then when Netanyahu rose to speak, he accusedBennett of being weak and untrustworthy and said he’d refuse to stand up to Biden on Iran, positioning himself as the only man standing between Iran and an arsenal of nuclear weapons —and claiming Iranians were celebrating his departure, Axios reported.
Netanyahu also said he'd rejected U.S. demands to freeze settlement construction and opposed Biden's plan to reopen the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem, claiming Bennett lacked the stature or credibility to take similar stands.
Netanyahu then vowed to bring the "dangerous" government down, and "much sooner than you think."
“If it is destined for us to be in the opposition, we will do it with our backs straight until we topple this dangerous government and return to lead the country in our way,” he said.
