Biden’s poor polling may be as good as it gets for him
Although it hardly looks like it, Biden may already be peaking in his race to keep the White House. His biggest internal threat remains: his inability to campaign effectively. And his biggest external threat looms: Last week’s economic data proves Biden’s economy has nowhere to go but down.

Tehran Times: Clean Victory

It, however, decided to play by the rules, and it still somehow got condemned by Israel's Western patrons, while Israel continues to enjoy full impunity.

Gantz: Iran will pay the price in 'correct manner and time'
"The event is not over," MK Benny Gantz claims, discussing Iranian attack.

Flashback: The Trent Affair

Iran’s terror-enabling supreme leader only opens the door for Israel to hit back hard

These Biden Tweets About Trump And Iran Aged Poorly
"Donald Trump has no strategy when it comes to Iran. No endgame. The only way out of his self-made crisis is through diplomacy — clear-eyed, hard-nosed diplomacy grounded in strategy, that's not about one-off decisions or one-upmanship," Biden wrote on Twitter in January 2020.

More examples of Biden's failed leadership:
- The Middle East in 2020 vs. 2024
- Your tax dollars at work
- Biden's policies 'don't' work
- Remember when Biden predicted Trump would get us into war with Iran?

The epic fail of Biden’s doctrine vs. Iran
President Biden needs to face reality: His policies of appeasing Iran while waging political warfare against Israel led Tehran to conclude it could launch a massive attack on Israel and face no consequences.
