Smotrich gains strength in latest polls

 

A poll conducted on Sunday by pollster Camil Fuchs for Channel 13 News found that the Religious Zionist Party, led by Minister Bezalel Smotrich, gains 6 seats.

Benny Gantz has 37 seats in the poll, the Likud has 18 seats, Yesh Atid wins 13 seats and Yisrael Beytenu has 10 seats. Shas maintains its strength with 9 seats and Itamar Ben Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit Party has 8.

United Torah Judaism wins 7 seats in this poll, Ra'am and Hadash each win 4 seats, and Labor and Balad do not pass the electoral threshold.

The poll found that Gideon Sa’ar’s New Hope Party wins five seats in the event that it separates from the National Unity Party.

If New Hope runs separately, National Unity would win 32 seats, five fewer than it would if it runs on a joint ticket with New Hope.

To the question of whether extensive conscription of haredim should be forced within the Draft Law, or whether the current exemption should remain in place, 54% of the respondents claimed that haredim should be forced to enlist in the army, and 29% answered that the current exemption should remain in place.

In addition, 30% of the respondents claimed that their preferred option is to hold elections immediately, another 30% support the continuation of the term of the current government, and 29% said that a new government should be established within the current Knesset.

Israeli troops free two hostages from Hamas captivity in daring nighttime operation

 

It was cleared for publication that during a joint IDF, Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), and Israel Police operation in Rafah overnight, two Israeli hostages were rescued, Fernando Simon Marman (60) and Louis Har (70).

Both were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak on October 7, together with Louis’ partner Clara Merman, his sister Gabriela Leimberg and her daughter Mia Leimberg, who were freed during the hostage release deal with Hamas in November.

They are both in good medical condition and were transferred for medical examination at the Sheba Tel Hashomer hospital.

Sheba Hospital said, "This morning, two Israeli hostages who were freed by our forces from the Gaza Strip arrived at the Sheba Medical Center. After an initial medical examination, the condition of the two was determined to be good and they are now staying in a designated compound."

IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari provided additional details about the operation, noting that the two hostages were held by Hamas in Rafah. The operation was led by the Shin Bet's Special Operations Command and was carried out by IDF soldiers and the Shin Bet's operational unit.

Hagari also said that the IDF and the Shin Bet have been working on the operation for an extended period of time, but until now the conditions were not ripe to carry it out.

The forces arrived at the destination secretly around 1:00 in the morning, and carried out a very complex operation on a building complex, on the second floor where the hostages were kept. When the forces arrived at the building, they broke into the building, where three terrorists were guarding the hostages.

The forces stormed into the building using explosives, entered the building and pulled the two hostages out. A gun battle developed at the scene, while the Air Force attacked in the area and fire was also opened from nearby buildings.

One IDF soldier was lightly injured in the operation, but beyond that - there were no injuries to the Israeli forces.

Whopping 86% of voters say Joe Biden is 'too old' for another term after bombshell DOJ report suggests president is too feeble to be charged in classified documents case

 

A vast majority of American voters – 86 percent – say President Joe Biden, 81, is too old for another term in office, according to a new poll.

It comes after a damning Justice Department report emerged last week claiming Biden's failing memory and 'diminished faculties' as a reason not to charge him in the classified documents case.

Meanwhile, 62 percent of respondents in the ABC News/Ipsos poll say that former President Donald Trump, 77, is also too old for another White House term.

Fifty-nine percent of respondents say that both top 2024 competitors are too old while 27 percent think only the current president is elderly enough to be taken out of consideration.

A separate poll from the Financial Times released this weekend shows Trump with an 11 point lead over Biden in those who trust them to handle the economy – 42 percent to 31 percent.

Concern over Trump and Biden's ages and fitness for office has increased since September, when an ABC News/Washington Post poll found 74 percent of Americans thought Biden was too old to serve and 49 percent felt the same about Trump.

Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history. He broke Trump's record by eight years when entering office at the age of 78 in January 2021.

If elected for a second term, Biden would be 82 at the time of inauguration.

When taking into consideration only their own party's preferences, 73 percent of Democrats think Biden is too old and only 35 percent of Republicans think that about Trump.

Ninety-one percent of independents say Biden is too old and 71 percent of this voting block say the same about the former president.

The latest negative polling for Biden's reelection bid comes following Thursday's release of the long-awaited DOJ report, which did not recommend charges against the former president.

It was, however, still just as damaging for Biden as it heightens questions over his fitness for office.

In interviews with investigators, Biden forgot the years he was vice president and could not remember the year his son Beau died. While it did not recommend charges, the report claimed Biden's lax attitude about classified documents posed a significant national security risk.

A reason investigators decided not recommend pressing charges was because 'at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.'

Biden held a press conference the same day the report was released to defend himself as Special Counsel Robert Hur's report will likely undermine the president's campaign's attempts to use the classified documents charges against Trump in the 2024 election.

Blood in the Water as The New York Times Dumps Biden

 

Joe Biden is incapable of assuring voters he can handle another presidential term, his team has 'no plan' on how to deal with his senile behavior, and he should simply 'not be running for re-election,' according to New York Times authors.  

Anxieties from the liberal Times' Editorial Board and opinion writers show how worried they are that ailing Biden may not be able to beat 'bad man' Donald Trump this year. 

The back-to-back opinion pieces knifing the elderly president, 81, over the weekend comes after a Justice Department report ripped into his handling of classified documents and portrayed him as a forgetful old man. 

The 388-page report by Special Counsel Robert Hur confirmed he would not be charged - but it said that was because a jury would probably conclude he had 'diminished faculties' and was a 'well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.'

Biden's lack of enthusiasm on the campaign trail, coupled with his doddering public appearances and 'crotchety grandpa' attitude, are huge concerns during this 'dark time' in his presidential tenure, according to the left-leaning broadsheet paper. 

'He needs to do more to show the public that he is fully capable of holding office until age 86,' the Times board stated on Sunday.  

On February 9, the New York Times' Editorial Board published a damning, honest opinion piece, titled: 'The Challenges of an Aging President.'

The team at the newspaper concluded: 'This is a dark moment for Mr. Biden’s presidency. 

Biden now Openly Displaying His Hate Against the Jewish State Using Jewish "Useful idiots" in His Administration

 

Biden to Sanction IDF Commanders and Soldiers Serving in Judea & Samaria

According to an internal report of Israel’s foreign ministry, the Biden administration is preparing to impose sanctions on IDF officers and soldiers who serve in Judea and Samaria, Kan11 News reported Friday night. The report cites a series of claims that have been submitted to the administration against the conduct of IDF units in the area.

The report cites a US warning that if the military attorney’s office does not submit answers to the administration’s inquiries in less than 60 days, sanctions would be imposed against IDF soldiers, including commanders. In addition, the report shows that the Biden administration warned Israel many times about the lack of enforcement against “settler violence,” and Israel’s answers have been unsatisfactory.

According to Kan11, Netanyahu’s cabinet is planning a session with the military attorney next week to discuss ways to prevent the Americans from also imposing sanctions on heads of municipalities in Judea and Samaria, as well as MKs and government ministers.

With every passing day, it is becoming clear that the Biden administration has marked the Israeli right for demolition, from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, and every right-wing minister and MKs in between.

Last Thursday, in one of his most stressful public appearances, President Joe Biden revealed his disdain for Israel and its efforts to secure its future during the war in Gaza. Engulfed in a cloud of lion-in-Winter rage, Biden attacked his favorite pin cushion – PM Netanyahu and his stupid war in Gaza (Mired in Terrifying Haze of Dementia, Biden Declares Israel’s Response in Gaza Is ‘Over the Top’).

“I’m of the view, as you know, that the conduct of the response in Gaza, in the Gaza Strip, has been over the top,” Biden said in response to a question from the press. “I’ve been pushing really hard, really hard, to get humanitarian assistance into Gaza. There are a lot of innocent people who are starving. There are a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying. And it’s got to stop.”

Selma Blair Slams Rashida Tlaib "“Deport all these terrorist-supporting goons"

 Selma Blair is under fire for an anti-Islam comment she posted on Instagram last week.

The “Cruel Intentions” star is one of the latest American actors to weigh in on the Israel-Hamas conflict, claiming that Islam has “destroyed Muslim countries” and then destroys “minds” in the United States.

Fellow actor Michael Rapaport, who recently visited Israel to support the country’s army, replied, “Love it.”

Debra Messing was even more effusive and wrote, “THANK YOU.”

Blair did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment. 

Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack killed around 1,200 people, Israel has killed more than 28,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Hospitals, schools and refugee camps have been bombed, amid a lack of potable water and anesthesia.

Blair made her remarks under an Instagram video that slammed U.S. Reps. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for voting against a bill with the stated goal of preventing immigration into the United States by people “who participated in or otherwise facilitated” Hamas’ October attack on Israel.

Tlaib said the bill was “unnecessary” because it would be “redundant with already existing federal law.” She also characterized it, along with three other bills related to immigration, as “inciting racism that puts our immigrant neighbors at risk.” 

Blair did not agree, as indicated by her viral and since-deleted comment.

“Thank you very much,” the actor wrote in response to the video slamming Tlaib. “Deport all these terrorist-supporting goons. Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroy minds. They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate.”

Are DemonRats Planning to Nominate Michelle Obama ? DemonRats Scrambling to Get out of "demented" Biden Report!

 

The thunderous, blind rage with which Democrats and their media stooges are greeting the special counsel report on Joe Biden is a thing to behold.

With apologies to Jack Nicholson and “A Few Good Men,” they can’t handle the truth.

It’s as if Dems and their handmaidens really believed Biden was fit for duty, that the stumbling, mumbling, confusion and hiding were normal.

And now they are wild with fury because they’ve been embarrassed by the revelation of explosive facts they should have known.

That’s a possible explanation, but not the likely one.

A more reasonable view is that their fury stems from the fact that they, too, were part of a great con job, and their dirty little secret has been exposed by the devastating portrait of the president in special counsel Robert Hur’s report.

It doesn’t take a press critic to realize most of the White House press corps spent three years covering up for Biden instead of covering him.

On the few occasions when they allowed themselves to see his decrepitude, they quickly pivoted to defending him against those mean Republicans.

As a group, they are the least curious journalists ever, failing even to ask about the president’s obvious decline.

Instead, they did their Democratic duty by pretending that Old Joe was a good guy doing his best in a troubled world that would be much worse if the fiendish Donald Trump got back in power.

These are the same people who continue to overlook the president’s involvement in son Hunter Biden’s crooked business deals, preferring to paint a picture of him as a doting dad to his troubled boy.

With part of the curtain pulled back — by Biden’s own Department of Justice, no less — the party and media must deal with a changing political landscape.

The campaign will be polling furiously to see how much damage the president suffered from the finding that he escaped charges on illegally keeping classified documents largely because his memory was so poor that he would be a sympathetic defendant.

Although Hur wrote that he “uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,” he said he was not recommending criminal charges in part because he believes no jury would convict an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

Talk about killing with kindness!

Just to clarify a few things on the post yesterday:
1) the players on the Irish women's basketball team are all adults, and have all been to college; none are children.
2) the Irish team is comprised of paid professionals players, not kids.
3) the Irish team initially objected to… https://t.co/wjlMUoLS3V
