Here in the United States, journalism ruined itself and by extension harmed the nation. The leftwing legacy media, filled as it is with anti-Trump, anti-Republican, and increasingly anti-Israel hacks, exposed its relentless malignancy during this last election with its inexorable bias. However, vast numbers of U.S voters finally saw the malign legacy media for what it is and has become. They voted in favor of Trump and against the dangerous Democrat Biden-Harris policies that were pushed by the media.
The number of votes in favor of President Trump may have even exceeded that of the votes cast for Barack Hussein Obama in 2008. America may yet become great again.
There is little the Trump Administration may be able to do about the current malevolence which erodes ABC and CBS News, as long as those two media outlets don’t violate their license. But NPR and PBS violated the public trust with extreme and biased coverage during the election. For so many years they have been subsidized by the American taxpayers through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and it is now high time to end those subsidies. After all, that will help defeat their wokeism.
With support for the new President and his Administration, the hope is that the appalling measures that Biden, Harris and Blinken enacted since coming to power – and especially during these last two months of their term of office – will be toppled by President Trump. Biden immorally is ramping up yet more sanctions on Israeli farmers but is dropping those on Palestinian terrorists.
According to a recent article penned by Mark Dubowitz & Eugene Kontorovich is one titled, “Lame-duck Biden ramps up sanctions on Jewish Israelis – and eases up on jihadists and Muslim terrorists.” Among Biden’s measures is “Executive Order 14115 which originally and theoretically applied to anyone whose actions threatened the peace, security, and stability of the so-called West Bank” which is historically Judea and Samaria, the Biblical and post-Biblical homeland of the Jewish people. In the measures were plenty of tools for imposing sanctions on Palestinian terrorism which increasingly ravages the territory.
“The real purpose of Biden’s order, however, is to instead harm Israeli Jews. The Biden administration has created the first sanctions program designed to target citizens of a major US ally. As the article added.
“Worse, the administration has been creating its sanctions list with information from biased and unreliable sources, including the Muslim Brotherhood-tied DAWN MENA, a radical anti-Israel nonprofit. This means the US is punishing Israelis based on allegations from those who wish to violently destroy the Jewish state.
“Israelis hit by Biden’s sanctions often pay a severe price. The hostile sanctions have gotten broader and more aggressive by the month. They started with obscure hilltop Jewish farmers in the West Bank and moved on to harm organizations in Israel proper. One target was an Israeli nonprofit that provides volunteers to help protect isolated West Bank Jewish farms, which are constantly subject to Palestinian theft and terror attacks.”
Once he takes office, President-elect Trump can quickly rescind these sanctions or let them expire — but in the meantime, a new precedent has been set: The US government is mainstreaming the goals of the anti-Israel left’s Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign and has provided tools the United Nations can use to harm the Jewish state.
President Biden has also chosen to follow Obama’s policy of showering the Islamic Republic of Iran, the leading fomenter of terrorism, with millions and even billions of US Dollars. This has led the Ayatollah and the mullahs to work feverishly to develop nuclear weapons while providing Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis with endless supplies of missiles and lethal drones to hit Israeli civilians.
Meanwhile Mohammad Reza Sabbaghian, a member of Iran’s parliament, said recently that nuclear weapons are the only way to defend Iran, signaling an increased appetite within Tehran’s hardline leadership to openly pursue an atomic bomb.
