Tierney’s Real News (5/19/21)

As predicted, the Democrat New York AG and the Manhattan DA announced they have joined together to open a criminal investigation into President Trump & his company. Mueller’s pit-bull and corrupt prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, is advising the Democrats – their goal is to figure out a way to make it impossible for Trump to take back the White House. If they had anything REAL on Trump they would have taken him down when Mueller & Weissmann investigated his ENTIRE LIFE. All this witch hunt will do is make him stronger.

Colonel Richard Kemp, the former commander of the British military forces in Afghanistan, spoke to Arutz Sheva on Wednesday about the ongoing conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the accusations that Israel has responded “disproportionately” to the over 3,700 rockets which have been fired at it by terrorists in the Gaza Strip over the last week and a half.

“It is a disgrace to say, as many journalists and others have, that Israel is being disproportionate,” Col. Kemp stated. “The casualties on both sides are uneven, but many commentators seem to be suggesting that it would be better if more Jews were dead to balance the books.”

T. Belman. These expressions of support are very welcomed and appreciated. Even so I have a critical comment.

I do not like the idea that our friends are stressing that Israel has the right to defend itself. That is so axiomatic that it doesn’t need to be affirmed. I wish they would support Israel’s right to defeat Hamas totally and say that Israel has the right to continue their attacks until all their goals are realized.

Another thing they should stress is that America should continue to back the Abrahamic Accords rather than the failed Two-State solution as the correct path to peace. Biden should not be pushing the two state solution.

T. Belman. This article quotes diplomats from EU and elsewhere, Israeli officials and Psaki.

Surprisingly,  Psaki said:

 “we also fully recognize it is up to the parties involved to bring an end to the conflict. And our objective is, for every statement we make, every action we take, everything we sign onto is going to have that objective in mind. We continue to believe that Israel has the right to defend itself. There have been more than 3,000 rocket attacks from Hamas, and more overnight into Israel. Civilians have lost their lives. Palestinian civilians have also lost their lives. And our goal is to get to the end of this conflict. We’re going to evaluate day-by day with the right approaches.”

Right on.  “Up to the parties”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The carnage wrought by Israel’s Arabs in support of Hamas, at a time when the Islamist terror organization is raining thousands of missiles on Israel’s population centers, is nothing short of a nationalist (and Islamist) attempt to subvert the Jewish state.

The Israeli government and politicians are afraid to characterize the hordes of Arab rioters rampaging across Israel’s cities and towns as an enemy. After all, they are fully-fledged Israeli citizens.

Journalists stand next to the rubble of al-Jalaa Tower

Once, long ago, in a land far away, the best journalists tried to stand aloof from the stories they reported. The idea was simple and powerful. If journalists tried to be neutral and kept their reporting separate from their opinions, analysis, and speculation, then the public would believe them.

Those days are long gone — and the media’s credibility is gone with them. Journalists and media organizations are now smack in the middle of many stories they cover, in part because they want to be. They want to spin them, to set ‘the Narrative’.

A Michigan judge on Tuesday threw out a case challenging the 2020 election in Antrim County.

13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer, a Republican nominee, ruled that plaintiff William Bailey, a resident of Antrim County, had received the relief he sought after he filed the lawsuit last year following the election.

Bailey was seeking an independent audit of Antrim County’s election but Elsenheimer decided that the February risk-limiting audit conducted by county clerks, who reviewed a random sample of some 18,000 ballots, was sufficient under state law.

There are people out there fighting for recounts and willing to act if the results show a less than 270 electoral vote count for Biden.

US Supreme Court

State Legislatures are conducting forensic audits of the 2020 Presidential election, and the result of systemic ballot-stuffing may be invoked to prompt the Supreme Court to supplant or to invalidate Electoral College delegations in at least three states.

This can be accomplished by filing a nunc pro tunc Writ of Certiorari, claiming that proof unavailable “then” [tunc] has subsequently emerged “now” [nunc].

If these were any other vaccines, they would already be off the market.

In fact, they would have been pulled a long time ago.  Usually, a new drug is withdrawn after 50 deaths, which isn’t typical because the FDA has a strict approval process.  The COVID-19 vaccines have been exempted from it, instead being temporarily “authorized” for emergency use.

US should be allowing Israel to ‘punish’ Hamas: Elliott Abrams

The former deputy national security adviser joins ‘America’s Newsroom’ to discuss the major foreign policy test facing the Biden administration.

For many Americans, the violent clash between Israel and Hamas sparks an understandable sense of having seen it all before. While it’s true there is a long, bloody history between the combatants, the current fighting is unique in ways that make the endgame especially crucial for the Jewish state and the entire region.

T. Belman. Let’s have some perspective here. This war has been going on for 7 days.  The 2014 war lasted 51 days. Eight months after that war 100,000 Arabs were homeless. 380,000 people were killed in Syrian War compared to the current death toll of about 200 Arabs in Gaza. which is 1/10th of the number killed in 2014.  In the 2014 war 4560 rockets were fired and they had a much smaller explosives payload and shorter range. The number of of rockets fired so far in this war exceeds 3150.

Key figures on the 2014 hostilities if you can believe the U.N.
