This video from Chris Hayes tells us about the Biden Administration quietly doing its job on the economy – lots of “sky is falling” BS from Fix Noise of course on housing costs, eggs, gas as well, and the supply chain overall (and the stuff about Biden supposedly being the grinch who stole Christmas is just so “on the nose” for this bunch)...to be fair, no president is 100 percent at fault on these issues, but if you’re going to give the “R” guy credit for this stuff when it’s good, he should get the blame for it when it goes bad, and that’s right for the “D” person also (more on Biden and the economy is here...and by the way, the baby formula shortage had more to do with monopolies than anything else as noted here)...
Update 12/13/23: Yeah, that stinky Biden economy does it again (#joke), with the Dow breaking 37K for the first time (here).
...and though I believe #46 deserves credit for the reason previously stated, I also think he deserves blame for the reason Beau points out in this clip...as we know, the proverbial buck stops with the person in the big chair, but I also wonder if Biden is getting sold down the river by this Brett McGurk guy who he apparently is relying on for foreign policy advice...for all kinds of reasons, I believe it’s wrong to oppose a ceasefire in Gaza, and I also agree that 46’s diplomatic team has a really heavy lift here to get “Bibi” to stop indiscriminately bombing the crap out of Gaza so some kind of international coalition can restore something approximating order in that area of the world (to say nothing of freeing the remaining hostages and bringing the Hamas murderers to justice)...
...and with the prior clip in mind, David Doel informs us of a recent debate of sorts on CNN between Jamaal Bowman and Mike Lawler on Israel’s latest incursion into Gaza...I agree with Doel; kudos to Bowman for speaking about the reality of the West Bank and Gaza, which should be the rule for our corporate media instead of the exception...I know Abby Phillips has done good work in the past, but once again, her somewhat passive blaming of Bowman tells you what kind of a hold the everything-Israel-does-is-100-percent-right caucus has on our politics and our discourse (mildly NSFW/H)...
...and I give Krystal Ball so much credit for this commentary on the targeted IDF killing of Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer (and yes, I believe that’s what it was for the reasons Ball states); although Hamas is nothing but a bunch of murderous cowards for launching the attack on the music festival and taking hostages that started all of this (well, let’s just say it greatly exacerbated it anyway), it’s long past time for this to be turned over to international mediation since, as far as I’m concerned, Israel will never be honest actors in this barbarity (and oh yeah, what about "free speech warrior" Bari Weiss on this? Do you even need to ask? And call me a pointy-headed lib if you want, but I could care less about Saagar Enjeti)...
...and staying with the Israel/Hamas war and Gaza incursion, Ana of TYT tells us about a recent confrontation between “Bibi” and the freed Israeli hostages and some family members, with the latter making the pretty damn obvious point that bombing the crap out of Gaza isn’t going to do a hell of a lot for anyone’s safety, whether they’re Israeli captives or Palestinians...
Update: Definitely a tactic of an outlaw regime IMO (and I mean Israel) here.
...and while I know that it’s pretty difficult to feel festive in light of the war in the Middle East (as well as this example of disgusting cowardice), I’d like to present the following seasonal selections anyway.
