Deep dives
Governor Newsom's Potential Presidential Bid
Governor Newsom's visit to China and meetings with global leaders is seen as a move to elevate his status and position himself as a potential presidential candidate. The Democrats are looking for an alternative to President Biden, whose policies have been deemed unsuccessful in various areas. While Newsom is viewed favorably by some within the party, there are likely other contenders as well.
Spying on Staff Members
The recent revelation of the Department of Justice and FBI spying on Senator Grassley's staff adds to the existing knowledge of their surveillance against Nunes' team and others investigating the DOJ. This raises questions about the extent of their targeting and whether more lawmakers were affected. Cash Patel has since filed a lawsuit against the government and invites others to join the legal action.
Lack of Response to Middle East Attacks
The recent drone attacks on U.S. military forces in the Middle East have not received the same media attention or scrutiny as similar incidents during the Trump administration. The Democrats and mainstream media, who were vocal in their condemnation back then, remain silent about the current attacks. The concern is that President Biden's response has been lacking, creating a potential vulnerability for future attacks.
Comparison of Hostage Rescues
During the Trump administration, 54 hostages and detainees were successfully returned around the world without the need for financial payments. These actions were achieved through a combination of diplomatic strategies, intelligence operations, and support from Special Forces personnel. In contrast, the Biden administration's approach, as seen with the $6 billion payout to Iran, raises concerns about future hostage situations and the potential for exploitation by terrorists.
