On October 10, 1990 “Nayirah,” a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, stood before Congressional Human Rights Caucus and tearfully asserted that she had watched 15 infants being taken from incubators in Al-Adan Hospital in Kuwait City by Iraqi soldiers who “left the babies on the cold floor to die.” The chairmen of the Congressional group, Tom Lantos, a California Democrat, and John Edward Porter, an Illinois Republican, explained that Nayirah’s identity would be kept secret to protect her family from reprisals in occupied Kuwait.

OPPENHEIMER, AND THE TREASON OF THE INTELLECTUALS!!
Oppenheimer and The Treason of the Intellectuals!
History taught us that Intellectuals mostly commit treasons because they can easily justify them, from those who stood against revolutions in France to those who stood against revolutions in Arab Spring. Those intellectuals justified wars, supported kings and dictators, and counter-revolutions.

He is not the F.D.R he is not the transformative president. Democrat bosses put him ahead of us to defeat the progressive wing of the democratic party more than defeating Trump. Now voters aren’t sure if he is the right candidate for 2024. As the Times reported, “… the repeated failures of his administration to pass big-ticket legislation on signature Democratic issues, as well as his halting efforts to use the bully pulpit of the White House to move public opinion, have left the president with sagging approval ratings and a party that, as much as anything, seems to feel sorry for him.”With the country in decline economically, politically, and culturally, gas prices skyrocketing, massive shootings, Trumpism still alive, and the invasion of Ukraine still going. Biden is planning to visit Saudi Arabia next month and is telling the world AS MIDDLE EAST EYE REPORTED, that America doesn’t care about human rights and the killing of journalists.
