Joe Biden calls for the US Military to lead emergency mission to provide aid into Gaza
One of the things that Joe Biden addressed during the State of the Union was humanitarian assistance for Gaza. In what appeared to be an effort to address the pro Hamas portion of the Democratic electorate, Biden addressed the humanitarian challenges that resulted from Israel’s war with Hamas. Biden stated that he was going to direct the U.S. military to lead an emergency mission. The mission would involve the construction of a pier that would allow aid to come into Gaza from the Mediterranean Sea.
From USA Today (speech transcripts):
Israel has an added burden because Hamas hides and operates among the civilian population. But Israel also has a fundamental responsibility to protect innocent civilians in Gaza.
This war has taken a greater toll on innocent civilians than all previous wars in Gaza combined.
More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed.
Most of whom are not Hamas.
Thousands and thousands are innocent women and children.
Girls and boys also orphaned.
Nearly 2 million more Palestinians under bombardment or displaced.
Homes destroyed, neighborhoods in rubble, cities in ruin.
Families without food, water, medicine.
It’s heartbreaking.
We’ve been working non-stop to establish an immediate ceasefire that would last for at least six weeks.
It would get the hostages home, ease the intolerable humanitarian crisis, and build toward something more enduring.
The United States has been leading international efforts to get more humanitarian assistance into Gaza.
Tonight, I’m directing the U.S. military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the Gaza coast that can receive large ships carrying food, water, medicine and temporary shelters.
No U.S. boots will be on the ground.
This temporary pier would enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day.
But Israel must also do its part.
Israel must allow more aid into Gaza and ensure that humanitarian workers aren’t caught in the cross fire.
To the leadership of Israel I say this.
Humanitarian assistance cannot be a secondary consideration or a bargaining chip.
Protecting and saving innocent lives has to be a priority.
As we look to the future, the only real solution is a two-state solution.
I say this as a lifelong supporter of Israel and the only American president to visit Israel in wartime.
There is no other path that guarantees Israel’s security and democracy.
There is no other path that guarantees Palestinians can live with peace and dignity.

Can we assume that Joe Biden never saw Blackhawk Down?
Hack was on board with Joe Biden cracking down on tax cheats who don’t pay their fair share and those legally barred due to drug abuse and criminal history accessing firearms. We can start with Hunter Biden.
My thoughts exactly.
How long will it take for Biden to say U.S. troops are on a peacekeeping mission?
(And U.S. troops will find themselves stationed on or near Yasser Arafat International Airport.)
FJB.
The Democrat time honored slippery slope.
Those who do not remember the past, as Santayana said…
Hack, Hack, he meant the little people. The press sec will be out any minute with a clarifying remark. It’s a full time job.
I think the plan here is the forced conversion of the Jews, if FJB’s hot mike comments are any guide. I don’t know how that will make it better though.

Did that comment trigger any atheists?
Joe Biden is doing his best to spread the Catholic Faith, by providing (mandating) abortions. How can the Catholic Church allow him, and Nancy Pelosi, anywhere near a church?
Bless me father for I have sinned.
It has been _________days since my last confession.
Nancy Pelosi HAS been excommunicated, but not permanently. Kathleen Sebilius is another example, while she was B. Hussein 0bama’s HHS Secretary, the Catholic Bishop of Kansas put an edict out barring her from receiving Communion in that Diocese because of her stance on abortion and the same happened with Malig-Nancy Pelosi in CA.
Spanish inquisition didn’t work out too well.
Neither did the crusades.
Well, I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition!

Mel Brooks never fails to put a smile on my face.
BLAZING SADDLES is still my favorite comedy to this day.
Awesome.
I have been one-upped.
Nobody expects The Build Back Better.
NO.
Any aid we pay to the Palestinians is money Hamas is now free to spend on weapons.
How come we didn’t have these aid deals for Germany and Japan during the second world war??? Maybe because we didn’t have the same peeps running the country as we have now. I will be on my recliner doing crosswords and maybe catching a couple of Zees after typing my comment so maybe someone can get me in as first on WOT (weekend open thread) Later Alligator.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou
What about the emergency mission to send Marines to Haiti?
That place is even more fukd
Haiti is the capitol ship of third world s@#t holes.
The gangs just emptied the prisons. The US embassy might be over run. Hopefully they will get an ROE briefing from Terry Childress before they deploy.
Papa Doc is rolling over in his grave wishing he could come back as a zombie.
Papa Doc was a rolling stone.
F*ck that hellhole.
Third world SHIT, IMO Haiti is fourth or fifth world!
It’s a shame it won’t capsize.
Secretary of Defense: I’m sending you guys into Haiti to restore order.
Commandant of The Marine Corps: Been there, done that.
Deja Voodoo all over again.
Word.
History has a tendency to repeat itself when we try to erase it.
BUT HEY, if anyone wants to send relief money to Haiti, it MUST travel via The Clinton Foundation, just look at the house or two they rebuilt after the earthquake there!
“The only real solution is a two state solution”
Yeah, not so much these days…it assumes that Palestinians are on board when 3 out of 4 say they do not want that at all they simply want it all. Thinking a two state solution does anything beyond satisfy a short term global opinion poll is silly…but it does absolve Israel of all responsibility for what would become Palestine, no need to give them power, no need to feed them, no need to provide drinking water, no need to do anything but secure the border against a future war started by Palestine to finally complete their takeover of Israel.
A two state solution becomes nothing more than one state remaining a Democratic nation that is a reliable ally while the other state becomes a failed terrorist state controlled by Hamas or a Hamas replacement NGO that will have the same stated purpose as the current Jihadists.
I think killing Palestinians until their leadership begs you to stop is the only way that a potential two state solution gets you there, the leaders of the Palestinians have decided no number of dead is too great right now to further their political goals…Israel should focus on killing those leaders wherever they can find them along with their families, after all the Palestinians set the barbaric ROEs back in October…it would be wise to bring that kind of war a thousand fold back to the leadership…
When we decided to kill Yamamoto based on intel nobody worried about whether it was a righteous idea we just wanted a dead enemy leader, when we blew up a wedding party in Yemen we didn’t give a flying fuck about the non-HVTs in the crowd which included children. It’s more than a little hypocritical to pretend we as a nation haven’t decided enemy civilians are fair game when it suited our political goals.
Expecting any other nation that has been victimized to think differently than we have is simply unrealistic.
Killing the leadership won’t work. Everywhere the Palestinians go they try to overthrow the local government no matter who is in charge.
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Yes, they have a PERFECT track record of that and it’s why NO OTHER Muslim country will allow them in.
Gold Meir had it right:
Don’t forget to install the RPG screens at the pier. Wouldn’t want any unnecessary leaks at the water lines of any off-loading aid haulers.
Don’t worry. A fast boat will help open up the side of the ship and get things moving.
Hamas is the epitome of the old saying.
“Cut your nose off to spite your own face.”
Great! With one decision we are now stiffing our actual ally and putting our troops in unnecessary risk by dropping off supplies to people who are inclined to shoot them in the back as soon as they are done doing so.
Fuck Joe Biden and the cowardly, traitorous people who surround him!!!
The same fix will work for ham-ass…
My state’s “governor” is proposing a $26.1 BILLION budget.
A local town has a $220+ million budget.
We have potholes that could swallow a horse, rampant crime, schools that fail at everything except for being a prison, and a disarmament industrial complex to rival any historical government who marches funnily underneath a red flag.
It ain’t just DC.
All that…and how many on subsidized housing, food stamps, day care credits, Medicaid, etc….just where the hell DOES all our tax dollars go?
A LOT OF IT is currently going to feed, clothe and house ILLEGAL ALIENS that joe Biden and Company, puppets of B. Hussein 0bama and Company are letting into the USA as fast and furiously as they can!
Sounds just like Portland.

I’ve seen this movie. It starts with Marines coming ashore under the lights of news cameras and ends with dead Americans drug through the streets. I didn’t care much for the original, it doesn’t need a remake. Here’s a question: Why doesn’t a port already exist? Looking at you, Hamas. And you, Palestinian Authority.
It is knee-jerk to say because Israel wouldn’t allow it. It would also only be half correct.
There was more than enough aid money through the UN, US and others, the issue was the Israelis said it would be treated as a port of Israel, under Israeli control. And Hamas, and the PA before it, didn’t want that as it would impinge on their ability to siphon off and redirect aid.
Thank you for the explanation, and it only makes sense that Israel would want to control it. Hamas would take their cut and shipping weapons in would be simplified.
Divert the relief supplies, sell them at 5000 times the legitimate retail price (with no cost in overhead since it is stolen), buy more weapons with the profits, steal more relief supplies. It worked in Ethiopia. It worked in Somalia. It works today in Haiti, and every other Third World shithole we send billions to. The only thing this will accomplish is providing more arms to Hamas.
As I recall,the Marines went ashore in ’65 to provide local security for the airbase at DaNang. Which leads me to ask, who is going to provide security for that pier and the mountain of stuff coming off the ships? Not to mention the ships themselves.
“Why doesn’t a port already exist?”
Amen.
Just a bit of possibly relevant historical trivia— Once upon a time there was a place called “Wunder Beach”, a bit of shoreline in South Vietnam used as a temporary LOTS (Logistics Over The Shore) facility in I Corps. It consisted of a pier and the shore establishment needed to support its operation. It could handle about 1000 tons/day.
We had “China Beach” in DaNang that was a great place to
take a deuce and a half to fill sandbags. Tough duty.
My company was sent to perform perimeter security there after a couple of months in the mountains. The medics said a bit of sun & surf was just the thing to clear up all the “jungle rot” & such. It was the only place I was ever at that we didn’t have to fill sandbags.
Yes. J0e Potato and all his lapdogs/puppet masters can have their state, and we who put freedom before all can have ours.
Don’t sully our great experiment with your police state communist tyranny bullshit, mother fuckers.
Hamass, Israel, Ukraine, Japan, Germany, and whatever the fuck this shitshow pretending to be America is, can all kiss my ass.
Ah, the Two State solution:
– What the UN offered in 1947.
– What Israel finally had w/ Gaza and W Bank in 2005.
– What Hamas and Leftists don’t want since Oct 7.
Perhaps give them Gruinard Island off Scotland. Once known as Anthrax Island, after it was infected with anthrax spores on WWII, it was uninhabitable for decades until it was supposedly disinfected in the ’90s. I’m sure the disinfection process was I-bet-your-life thorough…
Why is America on the hook to provide manpower, supplies and money to provide relief to the residents of Palestine? Isn’t there some international charity already set up for just such a crisis? What’s the name of that one group that did a bang up job in Haiti after the earthquakes? Oh yeah, The Clinton Global Initiative.
Of all the ideas you have come up with putting the Clinton’s in charge of distribution of aid to Palestinians is by far the bestest. Best done in person too.
Even I would kick in.
My money’s on Hillary. That bitch is straight up evil. I look forward to reading about the unfortunate suicides of the Hamas leadership and that of Mahmoud Abbas.
So far as I’m concerned it’s win-win.
We all have to tighten our belts because the welfare queens of the MIC are on tough times, Hack.
They got stung out on all that GWOT money and proxy ‘methadone’ ain’t working.
And if you don’t like it, the FiB has a little box to throw you in to think about what you’ve done wrong.
When he have Americans being killed by illegal invaders, too many veteran’s homeless on American streets, an out of control opioid epidemic, unfathomable inflation, and a debt that is growing by the TRILLIONS….well, Gaza can take a back seat and unfuck themselves. The bank (pun intended) is CLOSED
If you’d just drive an electric car, like they told you, this would be over in a week.
Just look at what John “Lurch” Kerry says, work on global wormening and everything will be all right, live in a hut eating bean sprouts and cheap rice while riding public transportation while he and the Learjet liberals live in opulent luxury!
John Kerry is so out of touch he resembles a t-rex trying to scratch its own asshole.
Now there’s an image. I would imagine, since there was very little fiber in their diet, that t-rex was susceptible to itchy, burning hemorrhoids. No wonder they always seemed to be grumpy.
Guess what Hero…..???
YOU just boought yourself a spot (another?) on the coveted As(s)teroid of Insults®™
“xxxx … is so out of touch he resembles a T-Rex trying to scratch its own asshole.”
Congratulations.

Roh-Dog. Pro dead kid since 2024.
Hey! I’m not the one that made these beanies popular in Rafah:
Dat’s good one.
It’s certainly cheaper than some of our other whiz bang weapons.
What could possibly go wrong?
Aah yes, the next planned FAILURE of the Biden administration?
Current casualty tally is 5 dead, 10 injured.
Has anyone confirmed the source of these aid air drops?
Airplanes. Lots of big airplanes.
Roh Dog,
Like a big Tylenol?

Fine with me let’s send them jack s***.
Ham-ass and the liberals who support them DO NOT KNOW ME.
I’m sure that Women and Children scrambling for a bite to eat were beaten back by Ham-ass “soldiers” taking it all for themselves, typical MO of those sheep and goat-raping savages.
It’s not rape if they don’t say no.
“The only real solution is a two-state solution” Bwaahhhhaa! That was a good one. It lead directly to Oct. 7th.
Probably. They didn’t give them much though. Negotiations then got killy.
Goddamned fools
. If the heathen get hungry then let them submit themselves to Israel and put islam behind themselves.
Never underestimate Joe’s ability to “f” things up.
Doktor Jill should lead the effort to aid and abet the needs of goat-humpers in a manner to which Ashley has been accustomed.
Aquatic leg hair nibbling was Joe’s greatest contribution to his generation.
As far as I am concerned the “Palestinians” already have a state of their own; it’s called Jordan, formerly Trans-Jordan–the part of the British Mandate of Palestine east of the Jordan river, before that it was part of the Ottoman Empire, and so forth. I think the Romans, who were displeased with the Jew at the time, arbitrarily renamed the province of Judea as “Syria Palestina”. The Jordanian Palestinians, unfortunately, don’t seem to get along with the Western “Palestinians” (who does?). As far as I can tell “Palestine” is a Greek word which probably has some reference to the Philistines.
Eventually the two state solution will be Texas and whatever
isn’t Texas.
