[AmericanThinker] For days we’ve been waiting to hear what Joe Biden and the Bidenites are planning to do after three of our service members were killed in a drone strike at Tower 22, an American outpost on the border of Syria and Jordan—are we getting into another war or not?
And, it turns out, that’s not the only part of this whole mess where he displays his complete lack of urgency. Here’s this, from a Fox News report out today:
The parents of one of the U.S. soldiers killed in a drone strike in Jordan spoke out Tuesday morning about the loss of their daughter, as they await a phone call from President Biden.
Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders of Waycross, Ga., was killed alongside 23-year-old Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett and 46-year-old Sgt. William Jerome Rivers during the drone attack near the Syrian border over the weekend.
Kennedy’s parents, Oneida and Shawn Sanders joined ’Fox & Friends’ to discuss the unexpected loss and how they want America to respond to the deadly attack that took their daughter’s life.
...
Oneida mentioned that the family expects a call from President Biden, and they have already been in contact with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and various lawmakers. She said they have to complete paperwork before they can speak to the president.
Some kind of ("No Recordings"?) NDA, I'd wager. HT: Ace of Spades

I don't the the President needs to call the families of every serviceman killed in battle. Think about Roosevelt trying to call every family in WWII, or even Bush during the Gulf War.
Did the President call the families of those two Seals apparently killed near Yemen?

I'm sure its all pre-recorded script, with a choose your own adventure type follow-up recording, so long as as the follow up is one of the listed options in the paperwork.
I think Brandon is too far off the cat-and-whiskers for Deep Fake at the moment.

[Regnum] Russia categorically condemns the aggression of Western countries against Yemen without appropriate UN sanctions, Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's permanent representative to the UN, said at a meeting of the organization's Security Council on January 31.
So sweet — they’re white knighting their client’s little pets.
According to him, the actions of the United States and Britain in the Red Sea are reminiscent of the “worst times” of illegal NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Syria.
American attacks against Yemen pose a direct threat to international peace, Nebenzya added.
The Houthi-owned Al-Masirah television channel reported earlier on January 31 that the armed forces of the United States and Great Britain were striking targets of the Shiite movement Ansar Allah ruling in northern Yemen.
According to the TV channel, the northern outskirts of the city of Saada, the administrative center of the province of the same name, were attacked. Information about possible casualties, injuries and damage is not provided.
As Regnum reported, on January 31, the Houthis announced a new shelling of the American destroyer USS Gravely in the Red Sea. According to Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria, all US and British warships that participated in the aggression against Yemen have been identified as targets of the armed forces.
On January 28, a drone attacked a US military base in northeastern Jordan, killing three US military personnel. Al Jazeera later reported that the number of victims of the drone attack had increased to 34. According to CNN, eight military personnel were evacuated to provide medical assistance.
Bloomberg previously clarified that the United States is considering various options for responding to a drone attack on an American military base in the Middle East and that the possibility of launching a secret operation against Iran cannot be ruled out.

[IsraelTimes] Conservative Mike Freer, who represents London constituency with large Orthodox Jewish population, makes announcement weeks after suspected arson attack on his office
A pro-Israel parliamentarian representing an area of London with a large Orthodox Jewish population announced Wednesday that he will not run in Britannia’s next general elections.
In a letter to the chairman of the Conservative Party’s Finchley and Golders Green branch, MP Mike Freer did not cite a specific reason for his decision not to seek reelection, but noted several "serious threats" to his safety since entering parliament in 2010.
"The attacks by Moslems Against Crusades, Ali Harbi Ali and the recent arson attack (where the motive remains unclear) have weighed heavily on me and my husband, Angelo. These serious incidents are alongside the many ’low level’ incidents." Freer wrote. "No MP can operate effectively without the support of their spouse and wider family. Sadly the serious incidents place intolerable stress on them too."
He added that it would be "an enormous wrench" to resign and said it was "the privilege of my life" to serve the constituency, while vowing his continued support for the Conservatives.
A justice minister and the MP for Finchley and Golders Green, home to one of London’s largest Orthodox Jewish communities, Freer is an outspoken supporter of Israel, and has been vocal in his support of the Jewish state in its war on Paleostinian terror group Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... His announcement came weeks after a suspected arson attack at his constituency office last month, which police opened an investigation into. He said at the time that the possible arson was just "one of the many threats" he has recently faced.
Freer is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel. In 2014, he resigned as parliamentary secretary so he could vote "No" on a resolution to recognize the state of Paleostine.
At the time, Freer said the two-state solution "should be the end, not the start of the process."
In 2021, police notified Freer that his office had been monitored by Ali Harbi Ali, who went on to murder MP David Amess, and planned to kill other Tory leaders. Freer was unexpectedly absent from his office the day Ali came to stalk him. Since then, the MP and his staff have worn stab vests and carry panic alarms.
[Daily Caller] A video exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation appears to show a U.S. service member guarding a room chock-full of illegal immigrants at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International airport.
Republican state Sen. Colton Moore, who is the vice chairman of the Georgia Freedom Caucus, took the video Tuesday night and told the DCNF that he learned of the hidden room full of migrants through a "whistleblower" at Atlanta’s airport, who noticed an influx of illegal migrants coming through the facility in recent months. In the video, there appears to be a uniformed soldier guarding a room full of migrants and volunteers with a group called Team Libertad, which boasts of helping migrants travel on its social media accounts.
[Wash Examiner] Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Cori Bush (D-MO) were the only House members to vote against a bill that would bar Hamas members and those who participated in the attacks against Israel last year from entering the United States.
The House passed the bill, No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act, 422-2-1, on Wednesday evening. Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) voted present, and Tlaib and Bush were the sole votes against the measure, which now heads to the Senate.
While Hamas and Palestine Islamic Jihad members were already prohibited from entering the U.S. under existing laws, the new bill now expands to officers of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which is the governing body of the Palestinian enclave, and anyone who was involved in the Oct. 7 attacks against the Jewish state who is not listed as a member of a terrorist group.
Tlaib said in a statement that the No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act was "unnecessary" and "redundant."
"It’s just another GOP messaging bill being used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe," said the Michigan Democrat, who is the only Palestinian American in Congress.
"I made a promise to my residents when they sent me to Congress that I would take meaningful actions to end hateful Trump-era immigration policies, reunite families, welcome migrants and asylum seekers, and reform our immigration system," Tlaib added. "I reaffirm that commitment today, and will always speak truth to power in the face of disgusting attempts by my colleagues to dehumanize our immigrant neighbors."
The Democratic caucus widely approved of the bill, noting that it had the full support of House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jerry Nadler (D-NY).
"This bill is widely duplicative of current law, as Hamas has been designed as a terrorist organization by the State Department since 1997, and any noncitizen who has engaged in or provided material support for terrorism is in admissible to the United States," a notice from House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-MA) stated.
[IsraelTimes] Treasury blocks access to US-controlled property of three firms, Turkish individual, who give ‘critical financial support’ to Iran-backed terror group and IRGC branch
The United States imposed sanctions on three entities and one individual based in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... and Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... on Wednesday for giving "critical financial support" to a financial network used by Iran’s Quds Force (IRGC-QF) and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
"These entities have generated hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of revenue from selling Iranian commodities, including to the Syrian government," the US Treasury Department said in a statement.
"These commodity sales provide a key source of funding for the IRGC-QF and Hezbollah’s continued terrorist activities and support to other terrorist organizations throughout the region," it added.
The Treasury Department said it had imposed sanctions on Turkey-based Mira Ihracat Ithalat Petrol, which purchases, transports, and sells Iranian commodities on the global market, and its chief executive and owner Ibrahim Talal al-Uwayr, who is also known under the alias Ibrahim Agaoglu.
It also targeted two Lebanon-based entities, Yara Offshore SAL, a company affiliated with Hezbollah which has facilitated large sales of Iranian commodities to Syria, and Hydro Company for Drilling Equipment Rental, which is involved in financing the IRGC-QF by facilitating the shipment of Iranian commodities worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Syria.
As a result of the sanctions, all property of those targeted in the United States or that fall under the control of US persons is blocked.
US regulations generally bar US persons from dealing with the property of designated or otherwise blocked persons. Further, non-US financial institutions and others that engage in certain dealings with those sanctioned may expose themselves to sanctions or be subject to an enforcement action.
The sanctions came after three American service members were killed in a dronezap Sunday in Jordan — the first deadly attack since pro-Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... militias began striking US bases in the Middle East in response to the ongoing Israel-Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... war.
[IsraelTimes] PM says a humanitarian agency is needed in Gaza, but UNRWA can’t play role, after employees accused of taking part in Hamas-led Oct. 7 massacre
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees has been "totally infiltrated" by the Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... terror group, after several countries suspended funding after Israeli accused UNRWA staffers of having participated in the October 7 massacre.
"UNRWA is totally infiltrated with Hamas," Netanyahu told a meeting of UN ambassadors in Jerusalem, adding that "we need to get other UN agencies and other aid agencies replacing UNRWA."
Netanyahu’s comments came as UNRWA said it was "extremely important" to conduct an independent investigation into Israeli allegations that 12 of its employees were involved in the October 7 Hamas onslaught against Israel.
Following these allegations important donors — among them Britannia, Germany, Japan, and the United States — have announced their suspension of aid to UNRWA, which serves as a key lifeline for Paleostinians living in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... "It (UNRWA) has been in the service of Hamas, in its schools and many other things," Netanyahu said at the meeting, video footage of which was released by the government press office.
"I say this with great regret because we hoped that there would be an objective and constructive body to offer aid. We need such a body today in Gaza, but UNRWA is not that body."
Despite Netanyahu’s remarks, a senior Israeli official told The Times of Israel Tuesday that it is not in Israel’s interests for UNRWA to cease operations during the war, as it "could cause a humanitarian catastrophe that would force Israel to halt its fighting against Hamas," but in the long term, the agency should be booted from the Strip.
[IsraelTimes] Blinken said to request review of possible post-war steps, while front man notes that officials ’look at any number of options. That’s part of the normal planning process’.
The US State Department is reportedly exploring the possibility of recognizing a Paleostinian state following the end of the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... war, which would be a major shift in American policy, although its front man downplayed the significance of any such discussion on Wednesday.

[IsraelTimes] Shin Bet security agency says operation began before October 7 onslaught, as West Bank-based members of terror group used fake social media profiles to recruit delivery drivers
The Shin Bet security agency revealed on Wednesday that it had uncovered a Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... plot to enlist Israeli delivery drivers via social media to unknowingly distribute weapons for use in terror attacks.
According to the agency, the operation — which began before the current war in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... — was carried out by Hamas’s so-called West Bank headquarters, a unit involved in advancing terror attacks against Israel from the West Bank.
On December 18, IDF troops raided a site in Gaza belonging to the unit, seizing documents and computers that revealed the terror group’s efforts to carry out attacks from the West Bank, the agency said.
One of the documents revealed that Hamas operatives in Gaza maintained contact with Jewish Israelis from the Jerusalem area and elsewhere. In September 2023, the recruited individuals were tasked by Hamas operatives to carry out deliveries in Israel and the West Bank, according to the Shin Bet.
The Hamas operatives posed as Israeli expats and used fake social media profiles to seek to have items delivered, the Shin Bet said.
After the initial contact via Facebook, the Shin Bet said, conversations moved to WhatsApp, with the Hamas operatives instructing the unsuspecting drivers on the delivery tasks. The Hamas operatives never called and only used text-based messaging, the agency said.
The victims were tasked with delivering items, receiving cash, purchasing gifts and leaving them at various addresses without coordinating with a recipient, according to the Shin Bet. Among the locations where the victims dropped off gifts were a synagogue, a cemetery and the doorstep of several homes, it said.
The Shin Bet has assessed that the Hamas operatives sought to train the victims to deliver innocuous items, intending to later take advantage of them to unknowingly deliver weapons or bombs to terror operatives in Israel, or place them in public areas and other sites the terror group wished to target.
A month after the Hamas operatives tasked the drivers with initial deliveries, thousands of members of the terror group in Gaza launched a brutal terror attack against southern Israel, slaughtering close to 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking another 253 hostages, 136 of whom are believed to remain captive in the Strip.
Since October 7, troops have arrested more than 2,980 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,350 affiliated with Hamas. According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 300 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time.
The security agency has in the past thwarted attempts by Iranians to recruit Israelis as spies via social media or use them to gather sensitive information. In December 2022, the agency revealed an attempt by Gazooks to "catfish" Israelis using fake social media accounts of young Israeli women.
[IsraelTimes] Under international pressure to tee up to rule Gaza, Ramallah announces package to restructure various branches of its administration, but some see the step as merely cosmetic
Paleostinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh announced a comprehensive reform program Monday aimed at revitalizing the Paleostinian Authority amid US demands that changes be implemented before Ramallah can take civilian control of Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... once fighting there ends.
