@ Avigdor2:
Hello…It’s the normal thing to do. Dozens of other major Western countries have done the same thing, many of them before Israel and certainly before Netanyahu. They were/are not really into US politics to the extent that they know exactly what chicanery the Dems have brazenly been doing. So they are conventional. If they have to do the same when Trump wins, they’ll do it with just the same amount of political smarminess they always use.
@ Adam Dalgliesh:
There is absolutely no justifiable reason for Israeli leaders from Netanyahu to his opposition to congratulate Biden on a media-led victory before all the official tallies are in and the illegal and fraudulent ballots are thrown out. It is beyond belief how the large scale conspiracy to steal the election by the Democratic machine and the money of the very rich is ignored by not only almost all the America media but also the media in Israel and elsewhere. The influence of media in this election have gone far from honest reporting of facts to pure political opnions dressed as ‘news’.
Arutz Sheva, becoming more and more "liberal" as time goes on..(very noticeable) has reports that both Melania Trump and Kushner are persuading Trump to concede. She emphatically denies it, which I believe, but one would think that Arutz, with reporters in the US, would have confirmed with her before printing. Shoddy at very least.
@ Edgar G.:
Thank you, Edgar. I agree with you completely on these matters:
We are witnessing massive betrayal. I could have used other examples than 2 Samuel: I could have cited Brutus, Cataline, Benedict Arnold, any of history’s traitors; But 2 Samuel is the best. David was a fighter, like my president; but he acknowledged that in the end, God was the ultimate ruler; and he did not presume that God’s plan coincided with his own. David’s own son rose up against him, something many Christians in America are experiencing today; and some of his closest counselors and allies deserted him — not too differently from what Netanyahu and his government have done; but David’s faithful friends fought for him, even though at one point David himself would rather that he himself die than the son he doted upon. God fought for David and for Israel; and after David ultimately died and passed the throne on to Solomon, and justice was meted out on Shimei.
I don’t know how this attempted coup will pan out. I will stand with my president to the end, even if Israel deserts him; but I won’t presume that God is on our side. It may be that He wants to destroy America, because we have deserted Him as a nation; and Biden/Harris may be the way He’s chosen to carry this out.
Slimy characters. Netanyahu hesitated quite a bit, and I thought that he was going to withhold mazaltov until the picture clarified. . But being PM, he couldn’t stand back when the rest of his government was doing it. Even if he was inclined to, and I don’t know that he was.
Your point that Mexico was more principled was very timely. It seems Trump was right when he said that he and the Mexican President got along very well..
@ Edgar G.:
2Sam.16
[1] And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
[2] And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
[3] And the king said, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
[4] Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
[5] And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
[6] And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
[7] And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
[8] The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
[9] Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
[10] And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
@ Reader:
READER…Get back on your meds. That is the biggest piece of nonsense I’ve heard for a long time. I suppose Trump’s life-long affinity with Israel, and the benefits he has bestowed on us (and on you-if you are a Jew) financially and politically are just a part of his psychiatric frenzy…..
I KNEW I was correct in doubting the source of your “information”….You can’t kid me any more. And I’m disappointed too…
By the way, what do you think of the C.I.A. vote stealing “glitch” iinstallation??? You’ll have an original explanation that I’d like to hear…It was discovered only because it was forced to be so egregious that discovery was inevitable.
“,,,all the Israeli leaders have congratulated Biden”
The great charade. Disgusting.
@ Ted Belman:
I hate to say this but I think what Trump is doing is criminal and is completely in line with the descriptions of his personality by his former allies and also by several psychiatrists and psychologists.
He is playing with fire here by dividing the nation and possibly causing bloodshed and chaos by delaying the transfer of power by a long time.
Unless, of course, this whole thing is a premeditated farce intended to bring in martial law, etc. and they are all in on it.
@ Ted Belman:
I see that all the Israeli leaders have congratulated Biden.
@ Ted Belman:
President’s Attorney Rudi Giuliani presents remarks about massive fraud witnessed in PA here:
@ Reader:
Biden does not have 290 votes.. Fake News. He has the appearance of 290 votes but it has no foundation in law. Her can only become President elect if Trump concedes (which isn’t about to happen) or if the electoral college votes him in.; But that won’t happen so long as the recounts have not been completed and the lawsuits have not run their course.
I am not talking days or even weeks. More like months.
@ Reader:
I don’t mind that your thinking processes are difficult to fathom. Gey Gezunter heit. It’s just that they are, to me, sometimes like wild speculation, so I may remark on them , but no harm intended or, I hope, done. The MSNBC etc remark was half facetious, because your comments seemed in line with their fake news. I could have been wrong, as being human, I can not be always right. Especially when it comes into fathoming the mind processes of another, through his remarks on a blog. An impossibility.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
You must realize that I was talking about how I gather my information IN GENERAL which OFTEN includes reading books.
Also, a few books HAVE been written about how dangerous it would be if Trump were to be reelected but this is not part of the discussion here.
Anyway, I (and a few others) don’t want the funding for Social Security to stop, is that OK?
Or is this desire not conservative, capitalistic, Republican, right, patriotic enough for you?
If so, it’s too bad.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
See Trump’s “answer” about payroll taxes in my post below.
@ Reader:
No books have been written about this yet.
@ Edgar G.:
No, don’t get my “”news” from MSNBC , ABC, and CNN.”
I don’t watch television and I don’t follow these websites online.
The reason you might find my statements “unusual” might be that I actually gather information from various sources including books over the years and then process this information in my brain (the process which is called “thinking”) and make my own conclusions INSTEAD of merely using my brain to copy-and-paste various opinions from “trustworthy” sources which were deemed trustworthy by some sort of emotional attachment or a childlike reaction, or proper labeling by some “trustworthy” experts.
There is nothing I can do if you find my thinking process difficult to fathom.
@ Wooly Mammoth:
Absolutely, it is a fact. 100% of Social Security and 60% of Medicare is funded through the payroll tax.
Trump deferred the payroll tax for several months due to COVID and said that, if elected, he will terminate it (as you will see below he hasn’t denied it, he just said that it will make no difference, and will even make Americans richer).
He cannot actually abolish the payroll tax but he can keep deferring it for as long as he wants which will, in fact, result in stopping the flow of funds to the above programs.
Here is his response to AARP:
More than half of all retired Americans rely on Social Security for at least half of their income. If reelected, how will you ensure that Social Security benefits are not cut?
TRUMP: We’ll never cut Social Security, and you can rely on that. One thing you need is a strong country.
………………………………………………………………………….
I will tell you that we will never cut our Social Security. We will guard it with everything we have. You have said you would like to “terminate the payroll tax” if you win reelection. As you know, payroll taxes fund Social Security and Medicare. How would you finance these programs without payroll taxes?
TRUMP: Providing a payroll tax deferral [which an Aug. 8 executive order permits] poses no risk to the Social Security trust fund and puts more money in the pockets of hardworking Americans. [Which if not an absolute lie, is, at least, wishful thinking on his part (my comment)] https://www.aarp.org/politics-society/government-elections/info-2020/trump-biden-interviews.html
Not to seem insensitive — in fact, I am, but it wouldn’t be seemly to seem so.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
or, alternatively, just wanted to give me a great story to tell.
@ Wooly Mammoth:
Though, I confess I wonder whether each worker’s contribution would still be counted, even if they don’t have to pay for it, themselves, because the amount you contribute in your lifetime determines how much you get at the end and even whether you are entitled to Social Security Disability, for which there is a minimum. I haven’t seen a discussion of this and I wonder if he and his advisers thought it through completely as would, doubtless be done if it were hashed out in negotiations. On the other hand, it’s only a very temporary deferment that he is advocating to put cash in people pockets, now, when they need it, desperately. But, then, on the other hand, he did say that there are other ways it could be paid for, in the future, including through general taxes, which raises that question.
I had a neighbor who worked as a mechanic for the New York Police Department. He must have been in his 50s. One time, I ran into him at a bar around the corner and he boasted about having come up with and implemented a legal fraud – because it never occurred to anybody that anybody would do this so it was never outlawed.
He filed taxes on income that was more than he made and then paid taxes on it so he would get a bigger pension at the end.
The story has an O. Henry-like ending, however.
Not long after that, he was hit by a car and killed — on the job, fixing an official car on the side of the road — so he never got to collect his pension.
If I were religious, I might wonder if somebody punished him. Ha ha.
@ Wooly Mammoth:
Why ask about reference from Reader. He gets his “news” from MSNBC , ABC, and CNN. A devout acolyte…That’s why he makes so many “unusual” statements. Yet he must be seeing some good sources too, because he often comes up with very valid, interesting and accurate items. But erratically.
Although, what he says could be accurate enough as a “good economy” as Trump defines “good”, could easily replace a few Social Securitys. But it doesn’t sound Trumpish. It sounds CNN-ish..as they imagine Trump would behave.
Trump promised to defund Social Security is that a fact??? I always heard him denying this charge.
Provide reference, please.
At least the sleepy, creepy, crooked Joe didn’t promise to defund Socal Security and Medicare like Trump did.
When AARP asked Trump about his plans for replacing the money, he answered: “Creating a great economy.”
Maybe there are millions of Americans who want to keep getting their benefits in their old age.
@ Wooly Mammoth:
Wooly, you’re too bubbly and optimistic. The last I read, Biden is now miraculously ahead in ALL contested races. With Soros men overseeing key counting processes, I don’t think even the SCOTUS will overturn this blatant vote-rigging. There are other possibilities, like state legislatures submitting elector slates that ignore the recounts. All things are possible.
@ Wooly Mammoth: I agree, Wooly. I am deeply depressed by the situation. In theory, the Supreme Court could give orders that would force recounts. But it won’t. Even conservative conservative lawyers suddenly become liberals once they are made judges, and that is especially true of those who are appointed to the Supreme Court. There is a judicial culture of liberalism that insures a de facto liberal majority on the court.
The judges will be especially afraid of appearing to oppose “universal” voting. The very last thing they want is to be seen as opposing “the will of the people.” They will also be extremely reluctant to trigger the massive riots that will inevitbly follow any decision that could invalidate the Biden-Harris victory.
The Democrats in control of the few remaining “undecided” states will undoubtedly certify Biden-Harris as the winner in all of them, even though there was probably massive fraudulent and illegal voting in those states.
The only very remote hope is that the “moderate” Democrats among the electors will become so alarmed by the prospect of a Biden-Harris presidency that would “defund the police” in their states and encourage antifa-BLM rioters that a substantial number will defect and vote for other, “moderate” Democrats rather than Biden-Harris. That would throw the election into the House of Representatives and the Senate, where Trump would have a chance. But I think this is a remote possibility. There is no precedent for a large number of electors repudiating the candidate of their own party. Such elector-defectors would face “consequences,” such as the end of their political careers, and in some states, criminal charges and imprisonment.
It is the overwhelming likehood that we will have Biden-Harris presidency. That will be an appalling disaster for America, Israel, and the whole world.
PM Netanyahu has likewise shown tremendous courage in supporting this US Administration, it’s profound impact upon securing
Israel’s future for the new millennium.
It is with tremendous sadness that I see this great injustice unfold before our eyes…..it is like The United States, the one I have grown to know for 65 years, is 6 electoral votes shy of death. Seriously.
Ted, Slight correction: “PA, NC, GA, NE and AR” are actually “PA, NC, GA, NV and AZ”
I wish your confidence were well placed; but I am not so confident. A full-blown coup attempt is underway by the most wealthy people in the world, along with high-placed Swamp bureaucrats in our country’s Intelligence community — and backed by an endless potential supply of backing by foreign enemies such as China.
