"We're in debt almost $40 trillion, and anytime anyone tries to cut anything in Washington, the whole city screams bloody murder. The question is, why? Well, now we know. The money is all going to them." "New York Times, getting paid. Politico, getting paid. Bill Kristol, perennial warmonger, getting paid. Ukraine, like 11 out of 12 publications, getting paid. Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, was saying his political opposition is funded by USAID." "In Poland, the left-wing political opposition is funded by USAID. BBC in the U.K. Every left-wing organization in the world seems to be getting paid by this slush fund at USAID, which distributes $50 billion a year. That's a billion dollars a week. That's a lot of money." "It makes you wonder. The left, in general, tries to portray itself as a movement of the people. That it's grassroots, this is the exact opposite. This is astroturf. This money is coming from the top down out of Washington to fund all these groups all over the world.

Yes—Macron is the first one with his hand out to insist the US be the lead donor on Ukraine while France lags far behind in what is after all a European war—then tells America we are on our own with the PRC.
Macron doesn’t want Europe to get “caught up in crises that are not ours,” like Taiwan. But he is perfectly fine with relying on US security commitments to address crises like Ukraine in Europe. That’s not “strategic autonomy.” That’s strategic nonsense. politico.eu/article/emmanuel…

This is a “potential” espionage threat??? Chinese nationals, sometimes posing as tourists, have accessed military bases and other sensitive U.S. sites, something U.S. officials, describe as a potential espionage threat wsj.com/articles/chinese-gat…

Did the word "border" come up? Asking for a friend...
Today, I spoke with President López Obrador of Mexico. We discussed the importance of working together across our broad and deep agenda — including competitiveness, regional growth, and humane and effective efforts to reduce irregular migration.

There was an Iranian shot across the bow of global energy and shipping security in the Red Sea this weekend—carried out by their terrorist proxies the Houthi against our ally Saudi Arabia. My latest at @NRO: nationalreview.com/corner/a-…

@BasedMikeLee is 💯 correct here. China has rolled out their 5G playbook to infiltrate, corrupt and exploit the forced “green” energy transition and undermine the energy security of all Americans. It’s almost like he’s been reading @Heritage’s #ChineseHandcuffs series!
🧵 1/ Is China using a disinformation campaign to make Americans worry about climate change in order to make America more dependent on Chinese technology, batteries, and natural resources? 🚨

If you storm an embassy and seize hostages and equipment, you just might be a terrorist.

Wait I thought there was no evidence that Iran is involved in the attacks on Israel?
This evening, #Iran's foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who per the WSJ participated in key meetings leading up to #Hamas' attack, landed in #Lebanon and said opening new fronts against #Israel is a possibility. english.almayadeen.net/lates…

It really is as if they were a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Go figure.
The US should designate the Hout... oh, right.

And the Biden people spent all their time and energy trying to force Israel into making some devil’s deal with Hamas instead of helping Israel to actually bring the hostages home.

The beheaded babies of Kfar Aza were not available for comment.
“There is no clean drinking water, no sufficient food, and no bathrooms.” Time is running out for children in Gaza. UNICEF is continuing to respond to their critical needs but access is becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous.

So in the last 24 hours: 1. “Freeze” in UNRWA funding turns out to be expedited UNRWA funding; 2. Blinken gathering options to pre-emptively recognize a Palestinian state; and now, unprecedented punitive sanctions against Israelis. Wow.
President Biden is expected to sign off on sanctions against Judea and Samaria residents who are "involved in violent attacks against Palestinians.” According to @BarakRavid, the administration considered sanctions on ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich as well.

Hamas has learned from their paymasters in Tehran that hostage taking pays.
🚨BREAKING🚨 It is now being reported that DOZENS of Americans are being held hostage by the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Iran is NOT our friend. This is TERRORISM. We pray for the safe return of our countrymen & we pray for safety & security of our ally Israel.

An American citizen was summarily executed by a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization and all we can expect from @VP in response is a sympathy note:
A separate statement from VP Harris on Hamas murder of Hersh Goldberg-Polin: "On October 7, Hersh Goldberg-Polin—an American citizen—was taken hostage by Hamas terrorists. He was just 23 years old, attending a music festival with friends. We now know he was murdered by Hamas. His body was recovered today in the tunnels under Rafah, along with five other hostages. Doug and my prayers are with Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg-Polin, Hersh’s parents, and with everyone who knew and loved Hersh. When I met with Jon and Rachel earlier this year, I told them: You are not alone. That remains true as they mourn this terrible loss. Americans and people around the world will pray for Jon, Rachel, and their family and send them love and strength. As is said in the Jewish tradition, may Hersh's memory be a blessing. Hamas is an evil terrorist organization. With these murders, Hamas has even more American blood on its hands. I strongly condemn Hamas’ continued brutality, and so must the entire world. From its massacre of 1,200 people to sexual violence, taking of hostages, and these murders, Hamas’ depravity is evident and horrifying. The threat Hamas poses to the people of Israel—and American citizens in Israel—must be eliminated and Hamas cannot control Gaza. The Palestinian people too have suffered under Hamas’ rule for nearly two decades. As Vice President, I have no higher priority than the safety of American citizens, wherever they are in the world. President Biden and I will never waver in our commitment to free the Americans and all those held hostage in Gaza."
