Despite clear signs of his decline, Biden refused to drop out until pressured by poll numbers and party leaders. His farewell address, which was meant to explain his reasons for leaving, was underwhelming and raised more questions than answers due to Biden's apparent cognitive struggles.

Vice President Kamala Harris is known for her authenticity and relatability, particularly with young people. Her comfort in her own skin and use of relatable analogies have made her a memorable figure in politics. However, her tenure as border czar has been a subject of controversy, with some attempting to rewrite her record on the issue. Despite this, Harris has become a radical figure for some, with her economic policies seen as favoring bigger government interventions and potentially leading to higher taxes and inflation. The Vice President has also been making efforts to rally support on issues like abortion and has been reaching out to the entertainment industry for support.
Harris's Priorities: Kamala Harris's actions and policies could lead to higher inflation, and her prioritization of certain issues over diplomacy with Israel raises concerns about bipartisanship and alignment with radical groups
Kamala Harris's actions and policies, such as her vote for inflationary measures and support for rent relief act and teacher pay increases, could lead to higher inflation. Additionally, her decision to skip Benjamin Netanyahu's speech in Congress to attend a sorority event demonstrated her prioritization of certain issues over diplomacy with an important ally. The Democratic Party's mass absence during Netanyahu's speech raises concerns about their commitment to bipartisan support for Israel and their potential alignment with radical anti-Israel groups. These actions and values indicate the direction Kamala Harris's presidency could take.
Protests and Political Leaders: Political leaders showed little condemnation for violent protests at Union Station, despite destruction and attacks on police, while Netanyahu's speech in Congress received minimal controversy. The divide within political parties over support for protesters and Israel highlights conflicting values and priorities.
During a protest at Union Station in Washington D.C., protesters burned the American flag, vandalized monuments, and chanted for Hamas while attacking police officers. Despite the chaos and destruction, there were no significant condemnations from political leaders. Netanyahu's speech in Congress, which was focused on the clash between civilization and barbarism, received little controversy. However, the bigger issue seems to be the divide within the political parties, with some showing support for the protesters and their causes, while others stand with Israel and civilization. This raises questions about the values and priorities of political leaders and their allegiances.
Netanyahu's speech: Netanyahu condemned Hamas, defended Israeli soldiers, criticized anti-Israel protesters, emphasized US-Israel solidarity, proposed Abraham Alliance, encouraged self-reliance, and faced criticism for perceived pro-success stance.
During his speech, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu strongly condemned Hamas for their attacks and defended Israeli soldiers against accusations of genocide. He also criticized anti-Israel protesters for burning American flags and potentially being funded by Iran. Netanyahu emphasized the solidarity between Israel and the United States against Iran's desire to impose radical Islam on the world. He also proposed the idea of an Abraham Alliance as a natural extension of the Abraham Accords. The speech caused some Democrats to walk out due to what Netanyahu described as a perverse ideology that suggests success and entrepreneurship are nefarious. Netanyahu encouraged self-reliance and peace of mind in the face of threats to individual freedoms.
Media bias: Israeli PM Netanyahu's speech at AIPAC was criticized by CNN for alleged lack of aid to Gaza and civilian deaths in Rafah, while the media outlet failed to fact-check and instead engaged in 'opinion checking'.
During a speech at AIPAC, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed gratitude towards the United States for their support and solidarity, emphasizing their shared commitment to defend their common civilization. However, the media, specifically CNN, has criticized Netanyahu's speech, alleging that Israel has not allowed enough aid into Gaza and that civilians were not killed in Rafah as claimed. Jeremy Diamond of CNN was called out for not fact-checking but instead, "opinion checking." The discussion also touched upon the narrative of Democrats taking the wrong side in the Middle East and being responsible for the rise of Iran, leading to their need to discredit Trump's foreign policy successes. Overall, the conversation highlighted the ongoing political tensions and the role of the media in shaping public perception.
