New in PJ Media:
The whole world knows that Old Joe Biden is in the throes of severe cognitive decline, but the latest news from inside the Beltway suggests that he isn’t the only one. The Biden-Harris regime’s attempt to end the Israel-Hamas war in time for Kamala Harris to carry Michigan and Minnesota is as naïve as it is craven: the regime seems to be laboring under the illusion that both sides are equivalent and are negotiating in good faith.
Now a new revelation about the regime’s reaction to Hamas’ murder of six Israeli hostages casts even more doubt on the ability of the foreign policy “experts” in the White House and State Department to think straight.
Axios reported Wednesday that “one of the main questions raised during a meeting President Biden and Vice President Harris had with their national security team on Monday was whether there is a hostage-release and ceasefire in Gaza deal Hamas would ever agree to.”
Hey, Joe and Kamala, I can answer that one for you right now, and you’ll be delighted to know that the answer is yes: there is a ceasefire deal that Hamas would accept. It goes like this: Israel withdraws all its forces from Gaza, frees all of its jihadi prisoners, allows Hamas to reassert its control in Gaza, and sends Hamas billions so it can rebuild its terror tunnels and murder more Israeli civilians in the recurrence of the October 7 massacre that it has repeatedly vowed to carry out.
Hamas would also accept Israel voluntarily relinquishing its sovereignty and evacuating its entire population from the regime. But otherwise, no, there is no deal that Hamas would accept, and Old Joe and his would-be successor should know that.
Not only do Biden and Harris not know it, however, but it looks as if the State Department doesn’t, either. Axios adds that “Biden and his top advisers were shocked after Hamas killed six hostages, among them U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, and have started to rethink the way forward in the negotiations over the deal.”
Shocked? This has to be a joke, right? What do “Biden and his top advisers” think Hamas is? The Rotary Club? Old Joe and his handlers should know that it doesn’t matter how much they “rethink the way forward in the negotiations over the deal,” for Hamas was founded in August 1988 as an Islamic alternative to the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s secularism and willingness to negotiate.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Well, there is another option that Hamas would be forced to agree to. Deuteronomy 20: 8 et seq. Says:
“ 10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.
So, Deuteronomy 16-17 seems to apply here. If Israel followed through in this Biblical commandment, they would have peace for the foreseeable future on the Gaza front. Maybe they could even turn Gaza back to the oasis it was before Hamas took over. And nobody would miss Hamas and the rest of the Gazan population who are Hamas, Hamas enablers, Hamas supporters, or Hamas sympathizers. It would also send a message to Hizb’Allah not to mess with Israel, and possibly to the Houthis and even Iran.

Are you going to help with the fighting that has already come to the US and all the West and will increase, or will you don the niqab and be ONE of your husbands wives and give him LOTS and lots of children- whether you like it or not? This is NOT just eliminating Israel and Jews, this is about the elimination of ALL INFIDELS and they’re here in the US and in every Western nation and they’re EMBOLDENED by this Islamist Biden administration!

Off-topic – but Blinken’s splay-footed,bent-kneed, baggy-trousered pose in the photo above, is oddly reminiscent of another famous comedian: Give him a bowler hat, a walking-cane, and a tooth-brush moustache, and he’d pass for Charlie Chaplin any day of the week.
(In fact the only truly reliable way to tell Anthony Blinken and Charlie Chaplin apart, is to remember that one was a hapless little man who had the whole world laughing at his prat-falls and all-round ineptitude – and the other was a brilliantly gifted comic actor.)

Charlie was very smart. And funny. blinken is neither.

Some of the people at the state dept, have to know what’s real and what is only in the small brains of the demented. The hyena and her ‘former’ boss, don’t give a fig about anyone except themselves. It’s all posturing to stay in power.
And any who go along….blinken, the iranian spy, and others, are hoping the hyena cheats her way successfully, so bo can retain the connection from his ugly, lying lips to the ears of the one in the office at the WH. The goal being, to give Iran control over the Land of Israel.

Trying to make some of the *elite idiots* intent on hiding their evil….
give up some information. Like pulling the teeth from a gator.
they are saying that it would expose the ‘migrants’…to people knowing who they are.
When an American citizen breaks the law, their name is not kept secret. Everyone can know today the name of the ‘father’ of the ‘shooter’ in GA who has been charged with murder. But we are not allowed to know from where the terrorists come, because they are here illegally and we might get to know **who** they are.
It’s like Germany and other nations not giving the names of terrorists they apprehend after a terror attack.
Protect evil and punish the law-abiding.
“Top Biden official put on notice for refusing to reveal key info on terror watchlist migrants”
“FIRST ON FOX: Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is facing a grilling from Congress for the Biden administration’s refusal to turn over the nationalities of people arrested on the FBI terror watchlist at the border by Border Patrol.
“I suspect that the real reason you’re unlawfully withholding this information about terror suspects’ nationalities isn’t due to privacy or security concerns, but rather partisan concerns that it would alarm the American people,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said in a letter to Mayorkas. “Once again, you’re attempting to hide evidence of the Biden-Harris administration’s border crisis.”
“Customs and Border Protection (CBP) wrote to Fox News last week again denying a request to provide the nationalities of suspects on the FBI terror watchlist arrested at the southern border between ports of entry by Border Patrol.
BIDEN-HARRIS ADMIN REFUSES TO REVEAL NATIONALITIES OF TERROR WATCHLIST MIGRANTS NABBED AT BORDER
The watchlist, now called the Terrorist Screening Dataset, includes known or suspected terrorists, as well as additional individuals believed to pose a potential threat to the U.S., including affiliates of individuals on the watchlist.
The request sought only the nationalities of those encountered and no further information, but it was denied. Fox made the request in October last year, and was initially denied in May, citing privacy and security concerns. The agency doubled down on that reasoning last week.”
“”[Customs and Border Protection (CBP)] is committed to protecting the identity of individuals and avoiding divulging information about any individual by either direct or indirect means,” the agency said in a letter to Fox. “Releasing data for a particular nationality, or nationalities, that reflect a small number of individuals could lead to identification, especially by organizations familiar with the individuals.”
The agency also claimed that the release of the information would reveal investigative techniques used in processing and apprehending terrorists.”
Those involved claim it would expose the “migrants” personal info and make it easier for the terrorists among them to evade intelligence.
“Cotton, however, was not convinced by the reasoning provided.
“Of course, if the Biden-Harris administration impartially enforced our laws and deported illegal aliens regardless of their origin, terrorists wouldn’t be able to game the system in the manner you describe.”
He later says that “the American people have a right to know who is crossing our border, especially when those illegal aliens have ties to terrorism.”

More from Sen. Cotton,
“”And that right, contrary to your bizarre assertion, ‘far outweighs’ the privacy rights of illegal aliens suspected of terrorism,’ he said. “Honestly I can’t believe I even have to write that sentence.”
The letter requests the information by Sept. 10.
There were 172 encounters of nationals on the terror watchlist at the border between ports of entry last fiscal year and more than 560 at the ports of entry.”

THIS IS INSANE!! There is more to this story that the treasonous Biden administration has permitted. Go
READ today’s MEMRI.org story (although it says Sept. 5 but got it today) about Iran wanting to talk with Biden and his (Islamist) Administration: IN Advance of Revival of US- IranNuclear Talks, Iranian Calls For Iran To Possess Nuclear Weapons Are Again Heard. In this MEMRI message, we’ll hear the list of demands which include:
1. “The Iranian regime aspires to obtain recognition from the American administration for its RIGHT to possess nuclear weapons for reasons of defense and deterrence.”
2. Iranian regime wants a complete lifting of the sanctions against it for promoting terrorism and for human rights violations…
3. “US recognition of Iranian Influence in the Middle East – that is, the resistance axis that Iran has built across the region, and its military military organizations ( Hizbullah in Lebanon, the Palestinian resistance, the Houthis in Yemen, the Shi’ite militias in Iraq and Syria) that operate in coordination with Iran and according to its interests. This is in light of the war that Israel, with the backing of the West, declared against the Iranian proxies with which Iran has surrounded Israel.”
If the US was smart, we’d save humanity throughout the world by making sure that Iran didn’t have ANY nuclear weapons and no facility to ever get it!
