Victor Davis Hanson: Obama’s Iran Dream Is in ‘Shambles’

Since striking Iran’s nuclear sites and military personnel last June, America and Israel have brought the Islamic regime to its knees. A web of paranoia, triggered by Israel's systematic dismantling of Iran’s terrorist surrogates and in-country air defense systems, has caused the regime to lash out against an already wary population. The Obama-Biden administration tried for years to position Iran, and its surrogates, as a “counterweight” to Israel and the more moderate Arab countries in the region, favoring neither one side nor the other. President Donald Trump’s strike on Iran and subsequent sanctions have tipped the scales in favor of Israel and the more moderate Middle East regimes. “ We don't have to be the instigators. We don't have to stage coups. All we have to do is turn up the heat and let this pot boil over. And boil over it will,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

Victor Davis Hanson: NEW Information on Obama-Russiagate Setup Surfaces

New findings suggest Barack Obama may have personally asked top intelligence officials to fabricate evidence meant to further the Trump-Russia collusion hoax during the final weeks of his presidency. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down role former intelligence heads John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey—Obama’s "three blind mice”—played in this on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words. “There’s new evidence that Barack Obama asked intelligence, investigatory heads—like John Brennan, like James Clapper and James Comey—to "find me evidence that you haven’t found yet so that we can continue the Russian collusion hoax after it was ineffective in the campaign, Hillary lost the election. Now we want to sabotage." This is the subtext of the transition and his presidency. " They were so desperate to validate it. They said to Christopher Steele, ‘Just give us some proof. We can use this. We’ll give you a million dollars.’ He couldn’t even come up with a mil—he couldn’t even come up with the substantive arguments to corroborate his own dossier, so he didn’t get the million dollars.”

Obama was pretty clear architect of conspiracy: Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hanson: Hunter’s Meltdown Exposes the Biden Machine

In his crazed rant, Hunter Biden’s defended his father and attacked Democrats. But what Hunter didn’t say is what matters most. The disturbing implications? For years, America was led by a cognitively impaired president, while his scandal-plagued son acted as a key adviser behind the scenes. On this week’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson asks the question: Who was really running the White House during Biden’s term? “ He just said about the laptop—in which he is seen using drugs, he's in pornographic poses, but most importantly, he references his father as “the big guy” and "the 10% guy," and he laments that he is the bagman for the family. It's very incriminating. But he doesn't—as he has before—he has never denied that it was his. “What I'm getting at is this: It's very dangerous to think that for four years we had a president who was mentally challenged, cognitively disabled, suffering dementia. And the close circle around them—whether they were former Obama operatives or Biden senatorial family, or his own real family—that these people were running the country. And the last year or two, if you look at photographs, videos of Biden giving a speech, Biden traveling, there's one constant. It's Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden was his eyes and his ears. And he was a close—and maybe the closest—adviser to his father.”

 

Victor Davis Hanson: New Evidence Suggests Trump-Russia Collusion Was an Obama Setup

Newly released documents, highlighted by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, suggest that President Obama and top intelligence officials knowingly pushed a false Trump-Russia collusion narrative. Despite repeated media claims that “17 intelligence agencies” confirmed the collusion, these documents show that no such consensus ever existed. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down how this deliberate misinformation campaign damaged Trump’s 2016 campaign, his transition, and his presidency, while undermining U.S. credibility on the world stage on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ There's news about the Tulsi Gabbard release of documents, alleging that Barack Obama and our top intelligence head had conspired to create a false narrative that Donald Trump was, essentially, a Russian asset. “ But the problem is that, as I'm speaking, there's going to be new information. And these other subordinate intelligence directors that work variously for Clapper or Brennan are going to come forward in saying, ‘We found nothing. Clapper knew it. Brennan knew it.’ And what will Clapper and Brennan say? That ‘we knew it, but we lied,’ or, ‘We knew it and they told us to—Obama told us to lie,’ or, ‘He lied. We lied.’ It's not going to be pretty.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Obama Faked Trump-Russia Narrative and Almost Got Away With It

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed documents this week that could upend the entire narrative of the so-called “Russian Collusion” scandal: New intelligence originally sourced from Dutch agencies shows U.S. officials knew there was no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia as early as 2016. Why did Obama-era intelligence leaders like John Brennan, James Clapper, and possibly James Comey continue pushing the hoax? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it down on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Now, what's Tulsi Gabbard upset about? That was known to John Brennan. That was known to James Clapper. That was probably known to the FBI. But they have notes, they have information that when they prepared this digest daily, weekly digest of intelligence updates to lame-duck Barack Obama in 2016 and into 2017, he ignored it. He did not want to hear that. He wanted more information pertaining to Donald Trump and the Russians colluding. It was almost like, you find me the crime and I'll give you the criminal. “ Is it serious? If it's credible, then you have a conspiracy of the top people in the United States intelligence and investigative communities conspiring with a sitting president of the United States to destroy the administration of his opponent, successor, Donald J. Trump.”

Obama-Appointed Judge Argues ‘Nazis Got Better Treatment’ Than Deported Tren De Aragua Gang Members

A Barack Obama-appointed federal judge slammed President Donald Trump, claiming that the United States treated Nazis better during World War II than the Trump administration has treated Venezuelan gang members.

In 2013, Obama nominated Patricia Millett to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Judge Millett’s comments were in reference to the over 200 Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members who were deported last week — which was carried out through the Alien Enemies Act.

“Tren de Aragua (TdA) is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization with thousands of members, many of whom have unlawfully infiltrated the United States and are conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the United States. TdA operates in conjunction with Cártel de los Soles, a Nicolas Maduro regime-sponsored, narco-terrorism enterprise based in Venezuela, and commits brutal crimes, including murders, kidnappings, extortions, and human, drug, and weapons trafficking,” the White House stated.

The judge explained her thoughts on the matter.

“There were plane loads of people. There were no procedures in place to notify people,” Millett asserted, grilling a Justice Department lawyer over the deportation of illegal immigrants.

“Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemy Act than has happened here,” she continued. “There’s no regulations, and nothing was adopted by the agency officials that were administering this. People weren’t given notice. They weren’t told where they were going. They were given those people on those planes on that Saturday and had no opportunity to file habeas or any type of action to challenge their removal.”

Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew Ensign responded soon after, stating, “Well, Your Honor, we certainly dispute the Nazi ideology,” pointing out that some of the individuals were able to file habeas petitions.

A habeas petition is a legal filing individuals can make to challenge the legality of their detention — where a court will determine if their detainment was justified under the law.

District Judge James Boasberg, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, also temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s ability to deport illegals from the country under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15th.

Boasberg also denied the federal government’s request to lift the temporary hold on deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, claiming that the deported individuals are up against a “likelihood of potential torture.”

“In Salvadoran prisons, deportees are reportedly ‘highly likely to face immediate and intentional life-threatening harm at the hands of state actors,’” he wrote. “As the government itself concedes, the awesome power granted by the Act may be brought to bear only on those who are, in fact, ‘alien enemies.’”

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has requested the appeals court to intervene and are expected to issue a decision in the coming days.

Millett continued, explaining to Ensign that she “feels like there was no time” for the individuals to challenge the detentions, and “were only able to [file] because the district court froze things.”

Barack Obama wants ‘open contest’ after refusing to endorse Kamala Harris

Barack Obama has made it clear he wants to see an “open contest” for the Democrat nominee position following President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the race, according to The Australian’s chief international correspondent Cameron Stewart. President Biden endorsed Kamala Harris to replace him as the Democrat nominee, but Mr Obama made no mention of the Vice President in his statement. “There’s a lot of people who want the party just to coalesce around Harris. They think that’s less divisive, they think it’s the only way to move forward without more divisions within the party,” Mr Stewart told Sky News Australia. “But then you have Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi who want an open contest.”

Obama botches meaning of Passover, doesn’t mention hostages, and calls for empathy for Palestinians

By

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/04/obama-botches-meaning-of-passover-doesnt-mention-hostages-and-calls-for-empathy-for-palestinians; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

At a sensitive time when antisemitism is soaring following the barbarity of October 7, Obama included Palestinians in his Passover message.

Did Barack Obama include Jews in his Ramadan messages? In them, does he mention the Israelis murdered by Palestinians and then rewarded by the Palestinian Authority’s “pay-for-slay” program?

In his Passover message, Obama also omitted mention of the horror Israel endured on October 7, and of its hostages, as well as the Jewish state’s struggle for survival. To top it off, Obama entirely botched the meaning of Passover.

In contrast, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday, in a perfect Passover reflection message:

Why is this night different, citizens of Israel?

 On this night, 133 of our dear brothers and sisters are not around the Seder table, and they are still held hostage by Hamas in hellish conditions. (Israel Government Press Office)

Netanyahu also referenced “the rabbinic dictum that ‘in every generation, they rise to destroy us’” and stated “that the absence of the hostages over the upcoming holiday ‘only strengthens our determination to bring them back.’”

By undermining the greatest horror that Jews have collectively experienced since the Holocaust and the existential threat that Israel faces, Obama reveals his true sentiments regarding Jews. The obscene moral equivalence in his call for “empathy for those suffering in ‘Israel and Gaza,’” and “for solidarity with people of all religions” on the distinctly Jewish holiday of Passover is also revealing. 

“Obama’s Passover Message Adds Palestinians Into the Story; Omits Hostages,” by Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart, April 22, 2024:

Former President Barack Obama used a Passover message on Monday to work Palestinians into the Jewish holiday, calling for empathy for those suffering in “Israel and Gaza,” and for solidarity with “people of all religions.”

Obama’s equivocation obscured the fact that Palestinian terrorists continue to hold 133 Israeli hostages.

He failed, in fact, to mention the hostages, instead saying that people should “remember everyone who is unable to celebrate the holiday with their loved ones.” He also failed to mention the ongoing wave of antisemitism on college campuses and in Democrat-run cities, saying that “people of all religions … deserve to feel safe and secure” wherever they are…..
