RUTHFULLY YOURS

Many folks are speculating on what will be President-Select’s policies with respect to Israel and the Middle East.

Here it is: Barack Obama’s speech to Al-Azhar University in Egypt on June 4, 2009:

It is very long and if the platitudes were removed, it could be shorter but it is a preview of what is to come…..rsk

The following is a text of President Obama’s prepared remarks to the Muslim world, delivered on June 4, 2009, as released by the White House.

I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo, and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning, and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt’s advancement. Together, you represent the harmony between tradition and progress. I am grateful for your hospitality, and the hospitality of the people of Egypt. I am also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people, and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum.

We meet at a time of tension between the United States and Muslims around the world – tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of co-existence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars. More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. Moreover, the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam.

President Biden’s ventriloquist, Barack Obama, will make every effort to scuttle or damage the historic Abraham Accords between Israel and Arab nations. Those efforts will fail thanks to the sage counsel and logistical cooperation of his trusted adviser, confidante, and son-in-law Jared Kushner and his loyal and effective Secretary of State Michael Pompeo.

From 1967 until the advent of President Donald Trump, every single administration has put forth peace plans that air-brushed the terror and genocidal ambitions of Israel’s Arab enemies and predicated a gratuitous demand that Israel accept concessions and territorial withdrawals in exchange for “recognition of its right to exist.” The Camp David Accords, the Oslo Accords, and the Gaza withdrawal were clones of each other.

No sober democracy would have accepted those terms from tyrants, and no good-faith American President would have demanded them. However, the Israeli governments of Menachem Begin, Itzhak Rabin, Ariel Sharon, and Benjamin Netanyahu did so, and each agreement was followed by unrelenting terror against hapless civilians. The dead were cynically referred to as “casualties of peace.”

Enter President Donald Trump who, breaking with tradition, relied more on Jared Kushner, David Friedman (America’s Ambassador to Israel), and Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, rather than on the standard recommendations from the military and State Department officials.

A Trojan Horse has galloped into the President Select’s administration.  Emerging are all the former Obama administration officials who tried, and will do so again, to fundamentally transform America to a one-party Socialist state with the absolute control of big tech and media.

This time they may succeed. Those of us who value capitalism and the freedoms inherent in a democracy have only one alternative. The midterm elections of 2022.

The 2014 United States elections were held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, in the middle of Democrat President Barack Obama’s second term. Republicans retained control of the House of Representatives and regained the majority of the Senate. They held all of their seats and gained nine Democrat-held seats. That year Carol Taber of Family Security Matters and Ruthfully yours  published a comprehensive voter guide featuring incumbents and challengers in every single Senate and Congressional districts including the primaries.

Stay tuned……rsk

It is obvious by now that the next four years will be Barack Obama’s third term. Virtually every cabinet post and nomination for government office will be filled by former Obama officials. The demonic rush to “cancel” the Trump administration and treat it as a parenthesis and interregnum has begun.

Here is the President-select’s to do list right after inauguration:

Biden Aide: ‘Roughly a Dozen’ Executive Actions on Day One

Plans To Cancel Keystone XL Permit

Will Ask Congress to Grant Path to Citizenship to 11M Illegal Immigrants

With apologies to Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe who wrote “Just You Wait” for the brilliant “My Fair Lady” in 1956. Rsk 

Just you wait all you turncoats just you wait,

You’ll be sorry but your rue will be too late

You will run and you’ll need money

Will we help you? don’t be funny.

Just you wait all you turncoats you will see

Chuck and Nancy will make mincemeat out of thee.

With all your virtue signals and your pomp

You’ll all be treading water in the swamp.

Just you wait! RSK

Nancy Pelosi is actually demonic in her efforts to delegitimate President Trump. Why? Here is my take.

First: She knows and may have participated in outright election fraud. As my friend Phil B. reminds me:

”  Biden could not attract a crowd once he did emerge from the basement and  blurted out the truth on October 24 that a large-scale vote fraud operation was in place.  Biden’s exact words were: “We have put together the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”    It was not by happenstance that Democrat run swing states all stopped counting around midnight when Trump was ahead and in the middle of the night had statistically impossible massive Biden vote dumps.”

Investigations will continue.

Second:  She also knows that the Hunter Biden scandal will involve the influence peddling of his father as a former Vice President.

Third: She knows that Donald Trump remains the standard bearer of the Republican conservatives who voted for him.

Those fears can only be thwarted if she demolishes his legacy and reputation and ability to run for office again.

Alas Nancy, history will vindicate Donald Trump…..rsk

I got e-mails suggesting that I was too flippant regarding the riot and break-in on January 6, 2021. Maybe they are right.

For the record I despise, detest, loathe, execrate, and revile mob violence. Even more…Je Suis the Capitol. Okay? Enough.

President Trump was denied a fair hearing of evidence- affidavits and video proof of election chicanery. The Supremes and state judges dismissed his lawsuits and allegations without even a cursory look at evidence. The faux conservative media  would not even consider what was a legitimate request for hearings and transparency but now sanctions the venal calls for impeachment. The Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and Homeland Security denied the President his well-earned day in court.

In the Senate, the Mitt Romney clones jumped off the listing Trump ship of state like rats and displayed selective outrage after turning a blind eye to the riots that destroyed and torched cities and private property in the name of racial justice.

Also abhorrent is the tolerance of the Democrat party for blatant anti-American, anti-Semitism and racism in the corridors of power. rsk

I accept the fact that he will be inaugurated, but I have to reach for an anti-emetic every time a column starts with the requisite denunciation of the storming of the capitol and segues into congratulating Biden. I would not don a “pussy hat” and march with harridans proclaiming “he is not my president” as they did the day after the inauguration of President Trump in 2016.

 When the dust settles  a proper investigation of the election and the riot should occur and until then I will avoid the obsequy and virtue signaling…..rsk  

This year, like Thanksgiving, and Passover and other family and religious holidays, millions of Americans will be deprived of gathering with loved ones to celebrate Christmas, thanks to the draconian and illogical lock downs which have caused great economic and social harm. The elderly for whom each holiday is a milestone will not enjoy the fun of grandchildren and Santa Claus and gifts. As author Sydney Williams writes today ZOOM cannot replace a hug. It is bleak.
The song,” I’ll Be Home for Christmas” was written in 1943 by Walter Kent, composer and Kim Gannon lyricist to honor the troops in World War 2 who were stationed thousands of miles from home in jungles, high seas, bunkers in snow or mud who would miss Christmas at home and faced lonely nights aching with homesickness. The song reverberated both with the patriot soldiers and their anxious families at home.
After imagining a festive Christmas scene, it ends with a plaintive “but only in my dreams.”
In December 1943 Americans waited for the war to end. In December of 2020, with a longing beyond expression isolated Americans wait for the pandemic to ebb with hopes that a New Year will bring better days and national renewal….if only in our dreams.

Here is a toast to health and some merriment during the holidays. L’Chaim! To Life. Rsk

Poor Jill Biden, so caricatured by the media is just another woman looking for relevance.  If her husband were president, the now now antiquated German custom of addressing married women and widows by their husbands’ or deceased husbands’ titles could be recycled. And instead of “frau doktor” she could be called “Frau President” and that beats “doctor’ and “Flotus”  by a mile…..rsk
