There are elements of irrelevance here. Hezbollah has a significant presence there, and are afforded much latitude as long as they don’t attract too much of Israel’s ire. Then they lose their popularity and privilege, but don’t really suffer much consequence over that brought by Israelis. There is also some evidence that intelligence has been passed out of Lebanon that aided in attacks on U.S. military installations. That military guys can relax and socialize is nothing new, even if they’re enemies. There’s probably nothing that’ll take the fight out of you like the military.

As I posted on another thread, it’s rumored that he once said he had half a mind to run for president.

We are, and have been funding Hamas. There’s little, if any, difference between Palestinian and Hamas. There are a few muslim countries paying lip service to the war, but other than Iran and their proxies, most silently support Israel. Not recognizing the college students as funded and led by those same instigators is a bad look. The old lady in the video looked smarter than that, but alas, she wasn’t.

If it’s true that Joe Biden once said “I have half a mind to run for president.” people should have believed him.

Biden Admin Expands Paths to Muslim Refugees with USCIS Announcement "Opening these field offices establishes a USCIS presence and expertise in critical locations in the Middle East and is part of our commitment to the Biden-Harris administration's efforts to facilitate safe, lawful, and orderly migration and family reunification. Our presence in Qatar and Turkey expands USCIS' footprint outside the United States, supports our humanitarian mission, and strengthens the integrity of the U.S. immigration system." Under Biden, U.S. immigration policy seems more concentrated on making it orderly and easy than lawful and safe. In his May 2023 press conference, Mayorkas clarified current immigration policy, which focuses on "lawful, safe, and orderly pathways" for migration to the U.S. The reality is that this administration has made it much easier to come here and stay. It is also likely that this administration seeks to minimize or hide the numbers entering illegally by structuring its policies so that it can cleverly claim more pathways as "legal." One such example is the expansion of humanitarian parole supported by this administration. The way asylum law is interpreted under Biden's humanitarian parole programs is unprecedented and, arguably, nearly completely lawless. https://www.uncoverdc.com/2024/04/25/biden-admin-expands-paths-to-muslim-refugees-with-uscis-announcement

Operation Wetback was conducted during the Eisenhower administration. Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me you don’t know what you’re talking about.
