Blinken beclowns himself with op-ed hyping Biden-Harris strategy to deter aggression



Secretary of State Antony Blinken claimed in an op-ed Tuesday that the Biden-Harris administration has been successful in bolstering America's international image and geopolitical position as compared with four years ago.

Blinken's thesis and remaining credibility did not survive the day.

Within hours of publication, Iran — afforded access to billions of dollars by the Democratic administration despite its murder of American soldiers in Jordan — attacked Israel. Blinken, no stranger to humiliation, has since been met with widespread ridicule.

In the foreign affairs op-ed, Blinken claimed that when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China "were already aggressively challenging U.S. interests" despite years of relative peace under President Donald Trump.

"These countries believed that the United States was in irreversible decline at home and divided from its friends abroad," wrote Blinken. "They saw an American public that had lost its faith in government, an American democracy that was polarized and paralyzed, and an American foreign policy that was undermining the very alliances, international institutions, and norms that Washington had built and championed."

According to the alleged architect of the misleading Hunter Biden "intel" letter that impacted the 2020 election, this Democratic administration has worked hard to successfully counter such perceptions with a "strategy of renewal."

"The Biden administration's strategy has put the United States in a much stronger geopolitical position today than it was four years ago," wrote Blinken.

'An end zone dance by Blinken as the world burns.'

The secretary appeared keen to gloss over, spin, or ignore various signals and causes of America's deteriorating position, deterrence, and perception over the past four years, including:

  • the illegal entry of over 10 million illegal aliens into the homeland;
  • the administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and armament of the Taliban;
  • the Russian invasion of Ukraine;
  • military recruitment issues;
  • brazen attacks on American embassies and on troops;
  • routine attacks by Houthi terrorists on ships in the Red Sea;
  • the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks on Israel;
  • growing Sino-Russian cooperation in the face of the Biden-Harris administration's failed sanctions;
  • North Korean missile launches over Japan and around Korea despite American warnings;
  • the continued rise of the communist Chinese-led intergovernmental organization BRICS; and
  • Saudi Arabia's increasing drift from the U.S. dollar.

"Time and again, the Biden administration has demonstrated that the United States is the country others can rely on to help solve their biggest problems," wrote Blinken.

The secretary suggested further that the Biden-Harris administration's strategy was geared toward deterring aggression, adding that, in the case of Iran, "we increased diplomatic pressure and strengthened the US military's force posture to deter and constrain Tehran."

Iran fired over 180 missiles through Blinken's propaganda about strength and deterrence on Tuesday, striking targets in Israel.

Israeli military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari indicated that while the country's air defenses were able to take down numerous incoming missiles, some still managed to land in central and southern Israel, reported the Associated Press.

Responding to the suggestion online that "it took less than a day for it to age like milk," Donald Trump Jr. said of Blinken's op-ed, "Yikes."

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) called Blinken "totally delusional."

"Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote an oped *TODAY* about how great the Biden admin is on international relations and Iran," wrote Libs of TikTok. "We're on the verge of WW3 and we don't have a President. The entire administration is completely incompetent. Has anything aged so bad so fast?"

Conservative columnist Joe Concha tweeted, "Oh. Ok. An end zone dance by Blinken as the world burns. Great job everyone."

"Timing is the essence of comedy," wrote Federalist CEO Sean Davis.

Former Trump intelligence official Ezra Cohen noted, "This is Soviet-level cognitive dissonance from @SecBlinken."

Mark Levin: Biden’s DEI appointments RUINED the Secret Service



If there’s one thing that can be agreed upon across the political aisle, it’s that the Secret Service was horrifically incompetent on July 13 — and thus is an absolute embarrassment to the United States.

The Secret Service had one job — to protect former President Donald Trump. And the agency failed. Had he not turned his head at the last second, he would likely not be with us today.

Mark Levin is in utter disbelief that something like this could have happened.

“What’s very upsetting about this, though, is the more we learn, the more preposterous and outrageous this is,” Levin says. “This is a tiny local police department. Are you telling me the United States Secret Service delegated them authority for protection outside the protection zone?”

Meanwhile, the Secret Service did have a counter-sniper. So where was he?

“If you have a counter-sniper there, that counter-sniper, that’s his job to stay focused. To look for any other snipers or any other potential, you know, in the trees, on the buildings, and so forth. That’s his job,” Levin says.

“And now that we learn that they viewed that building as a vulnerable spot, and then we hear that for the local police it was a launching off for special ops,” he continues. “You’ve seen the video, the people yelling and saying, ‘There’s a guy up there with a gun, he’s up there, he’s up there now with a rifle.’”

Perhaps a good way to explain how this happened starts with the now-former director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle. Cheatle was head of security for PepsiCo before becoming Secret Service director.

“This is a DEI appointment by Joe Biden,” Levin says. “One of the focuses of this director of the Secret Service, and she’s made it public, ‘We want 30% female agents.’”

“Well, I want 100% competent agents. This is not a game,” he adds.

3 takeaways from JD Vance’s RNC speech



JD Vance was certainly not a household name when Donald Trump formally declared the Ohio senator his running mate.

“He's pretty new on the scene to most of America,” says Stu Burguiere, noting that Vance has only “been in office for two years” and “doesn't have an awful lot of political experience.”

That said, Vance’s RNC speech was an opportunity to essentially introduce himself to America at large.

Here are Stu’s three biggest takeaways from Vance’s debut speech:

Communication

According to Stu, Vance is “a good communicator” and “a clean speaker ... very, very much like Vivek Ramaswamy, who never really has any stumbles.”

He “was able to hold the audience pretty well” — especially when “he was talking about his life.”

“He told a couple of great stories” about his fiery grandmother and his mother’s “ten years of sobriety,” which Stu says was “maybe the best moment of the speech."

Authenticity

Nikki Haley and Tim Scott’s speeches take on “that stilted politician tone,” says Stu, but “JD Vance does not have that problem.”

He gave “a very natural speech” and “it didn’t feel forced” or “politician-y,” and yet it was clear that “he knows policy."

Debates

In the event Vance finds himself in a debate, Stu has faith that his ability to parley with opponents will be “one of his strengths.”

“I’m really confident JD Vance is going to smoke Kamala Harris,” he says, which just might happen if Biden remains the Democratic nominee.

Rally attendee gives HEART-STOPPING account of PA Trump attack



Butler, Pennsylvania, may be a quiet town with just over 13,000 residents — but it’s now forever enshrined in our nation’s memory.

The small town hosted the last Trump rally where the former president just barely escaped a bullet that was meant to kill him, and one of its residents who was in attendance is sharing his side of the story.

“It’s funny, I immediately thought back to like September 11th,” Jessie, the resident, tells Stu Burguiere. “I’ve heard a lot of people say ‘Oh, it was such a beautiful day,’ and that’s exactly what it was here.”

Jessie recalls it taking around two-and-a-half hours to get through security, where no one checked IDs or tickets.

“It was just very, very unorganized,” he tells Stu. “There was a visible difference of less Secret Service,” he continues, explaining that he’s been to three other Trump rallies in the past.

While there were around 40,000 people in attendance, there were only two snipers Jessie could see on the surrounding rooftops.

“I only heard three shots initially, and then I heard multiple shots after that, which I would assume would be Secret Service snipers' engagement, and the Secret Service tackled him so hard that Trump’s shoes fell off,” he explains, noting that the agents holding him down were repeating, “Hawkeye is here.”

While Jessie couldn’t see Trump’s face as he was seated behind him, he could make out his hand, which he tells Stu “had blood on it.”

“Then I saw him stop and put his fist up,” he says, adding, “Then everybody started chanting 'USA' and cheering.”

Jessie was in the center set of bleachers behind the podium, while the far end of the bleachers to the right and the left are where attendees were hit — and tragically one lost his life.

“How crazy is it to you that there wasn’t Secret Service presence or police presence on the building where the shooter actually wound up?” Stu asks.

“Oh my goodness, that’s totally insane,” Jessie answers. “It doesn’t make sense to me at all.”

Democrats STILL delusional after Biden’s deranged debate disaster



For the last four years, Democrats have championed President Joe Biden as the best president and the antidote to Trump.

But after Biden’s horrific debate, a few of them are openly backtracking on their very recent support of a candidate faced with declining health.

The New York Times editorial board is one of them, having just published an article titled “To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race.”

“That’s a pretty big step,” Stu Burgiere of “Stu Does America” comments. “Of course, the op-ed is terrible, as you might imagine. It’s basically, ‘Donald Trump is really, really bad. Joe Biden has been the best president ever, but you know, he looked a little old in the debate, so maybe he should step down.’”

Other Democrats are less honest.

Despite the clear mental decline Biden’s experienced, Keith Olbermann posted on X, “Today’s YouGov/CBS poll: Should Biden stay in the race? YES, 55% -45%.”

“Should TRUMP stay in the race? NO, 54%-46%,” Olbermann continued, adding, “That says it all. Any effing questions?”

But that poll doesn’t actually say what Olbermann wants it to say.

“The fact that Biden barely beats Trump among Democratic voters as compared to registered voters, that is a massive catastrophe,” Stu says.

In the same poll, 46% of Democratic voters answered that Biden should not be running for president. 45% of Democratic voters also answered that Biden should step aside and let someone else be the nominee.

“Basically half of your own voters are telling you not to run. This is not normal, boys and girls,” Stu adds.

Shocking reality: New border-crossing stats reflect Biden’s real game plan



As the first presidential debate nears, Biden has some good news to share.

United States Customs and Border Protection has released the newest numbers regarding border crossings by illegal immigrants, and the numbers indicate improving conditions.

Since the expiration of the CDC’s Title 42 Public Health order, the Department of Homeland Security has removed or returned 775,000 individuals. And according to border patrol, after Biden’s announcement of asylum restrictions, border counters are down by 25%.

While at first glance these stats look good, Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” sees what’s really going on.

He cites a post on X from Fox News' Bill Melugin, who has been covering the border.

“Despite the lower numbers, per CBP sources, there were 783 known gotaways recorded yesterday, a spike from the current 7 day average of 480,” Melugin wrote.

“Big picture: we now have almost three weeks of data showing a significant drop in illegal crossings following Biden’s executive order earlier this month. Mexico continues enforcing on their side of the border, and Texas has their border on lockdown."

"Combo of these factors coming together to now produce the lowest border numbers of Biden’s presidency - after three years in a row of the highest illegal crossings ever recorded,” Melguin continued.

“This has been a very standard thing that Biden has done and bragged about, which is, set the record for the worst performance anyone has ever accomplished, and then back those numbers off and brag about that drop. They’ve done this with gas prices and inflation and a million different other topics,” Stu comments.

The new border-crossing stats that reflect policies Biden is just now implementing were some of the restrictions that Donald Trump had put in place — and Biden had removed his first day in office.

“Obviously, he shouldn’t get credit for that. He let this be a catastrophe for three and a half years, finally did something that people had been begging him to do the entire time,” Stu says. “That will not be the way he explains it on stage in a couple of days. He will surely brag about all these huge drops and how amazing he’s done.”

“This was all designed specifically for this purpose,” he adds.
