Kamala Harris is caught in an electoral pincer movement along with her boss Joe Biden. What Harris and Biden do now are not going to be in the interest of the people of the United States. The pincer movement is represented by two parts: the Israel/Hamas conflict and the issue of reparations in California.
First, Hamas.
The murder of six hostages has caused a great uproar among the pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian factions, especially in Michigan. Harris needs Michigan in the 2024 election. Protests have been taking place at the University of Michigan and elsewhere, demanding Biden force Israel into a ceasefire. There are a couple of issues to consider. Hamas is evil. Its charter calls for the complete destruction of Israel. If it really wanted a ceasefire, Hamas would be offering something of good faith- say a release of some hostages for nothing in return.
But it hasn’t. Instead, Hamas claims to have executed the hostages as Israel got close.
The plotter of the October 7 massacre, Yahya Sinwar, is in no hurry to end the war.
The paper says Hamas wants a deal that is unambiguous and will not allow Israel to resume the war after the release of hostages — which Jerusalem has said it will indeed do.
The Journal says that Hamas’s Gaza chief, in messages he has sent to Arab states’ mediators, has indicated that he “is in no hurry to end the war, believing that it is drawing Israel into a quagmire that is turning the country into an international pariah while reviving the Palestinian national cause.”
He knows the useful idiots here and in Israel will do his bidding for him. The most useful idiot of all is Joe Biden. As we said before, Harris needs Michigan and its Muslim community to win Michigan. That community has made very clear that it will hold out their votes if Biden does not accommodate their demands.
So, Biden is pressuring Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire. What Biden is not doing is pressuring Sinwar. Moreover, as part of the deal Sinwar seeks total immunity for his part of the October 7 massacre.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar wants a guarantee he won’t be assassinated by Israel included in a hostage and ceasefire deal, even as he sacrifices Palestinian civilians in Gaza, according to reports.
A senior Egyptian official told Ynet that Sinwar, the mastermind of Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre across southern Israel, wants to be protected from the prospect of an Israeli assassination as a condition of agreeing to a deal that would return Israeli hostages who Hamas kidnapped on Oct. 7 and implement a ceasefire in Gaza.
“Sinwar insists on guarantees for his safety and life,” the official said.
All Sinwar has to do is let everything continue and let the useful idiots Biden and Harris act on his behalf. The sacrifice of Palestinian lives is unimportant to Sinwar. Biden is going to push Netanyahu to bow to Sinwar for the sake of the Muslim vote in Michigan and Hamas will be reconstituted.
The second half of the pincer movement is reparations. Gavin Newsom created a monster. Newsom was elected Governor in 2018 and under Newsom California formed a reparations task force in 2020. Reparations are estimated to cost California $800 billion. Currently the states is looking at a budget deficit of between 27 and 68 billion dollars.
After looking into the abyss, California got a whiff of ammonia and shelved a couple of reparations bills, which did not sit well with some.
Smokey Robinson once said “a taste of honey’s worse than none at all.” Activists, already tasting the money, have begun levying demands: cough it up or no Kamala vote.
“We need to send a message to the governor. The governor needs to understand that the world is watching California, and this is going to impact your friend, Kamala Harris, who’s running for president. This is going to have a direct impact.” – Black reparations activist, sending a… pic.twitter.com/RTGaBZ94X3

Harris herself has made some promises with OPM (other peoples money). She promised Al Sharpton that she would American tax money for reparations.
A person with even partial cognition (i.e. Biden or Harris) knows that it wouldn’t be California alone on the hook for that $800 billion. As Commander Tom “Stinger” Jardian said to Maverick in Top Gun, “Your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash.”
The rest of the American taxpayers would be strapped down and have that money ripped from the clutches of their families. Even so, eventually you run out of other people’s money. People who never owned slaves.
Biden and Harris are facing some very interesting choices. They need both factions, and you can bet your life that the choices they make will not be for the benefit of the country as a whole, but rather just another step toward fulfilling a blood lust for power.
Biden will demand Israel kowtow to Hamas. Harris will use the American taxpayer as a piggy bank.

I wonder if kamala will weigh in about our NATO ” ally, Turkey?
Fourteen Turks tried to abduct two US navy men, even putting a bag over the head of one of our sailors.
And, should some nation attack Turkey, the US military is committed to defending the place.
Well, kamala?
Someone would have to explain to her what “Turkey” is.
She is so phony, she gives phoniness a bad name.
Republicans lay out policies that they believe are best for the country and then try to convince as much of the public as possible to support that agenda. Basically, you can support it if you like it or reject it. Democrats promise numerous, sometimes conflicting, factions everything they want. Usually they don’t have to face up to the reality that if this is promised to A and that is promised to B, BOTH cannot happen and someone is getting screwed.
We could very well be seeing that come home to roost right now.
Ah sho is happah to be suhvin mah massah, Obama!”
kamala looks at the hamas/Israel conflict from the standpoint of a nation where making babies is a thing of the past and migrants are the only way to grow the population.
The USA’s median age is just over 39 because so few babies are being born.
Her supply of soldiers is slim.
OTOH, in Gaza, the median age is 15.
Yeah, half of the Gazans are under 15.
Total war is the only way to stop aggressors who have an unlimited supply of soldiers.
kamala’s muslim “supporters,” are fair weather friends who are willing to turn on her in a second.
Now, blacks….
kamala is being threatened by blacks who abort their babies in the largest numbers per 100,000 of all women of child bearing age in the country.
The black supporters of kamala are completely dependent on government as the answer for their wants and needs.
They augment that income by sometimes looting and/or stealing.
Not all blacks are like this, but the brunt of her supporters are.
kamala can promise both groups the moon, but she can’t deliver either group what they are insisting on.
No state and not the country, can afford “reparations.
And kamala doesn’t make Israel’s war policy. No American does.
Walz was asked to comment on the 6 hostages Hamas murdered. He said, “THANKS, EVERYONE!”
She deserves no respect, no quarter.
