To say that a true leader must be principled seems like a “no brainer.” Likewise to say that a politician is principled is for the most part, an oxymoron. When I look at Joe Biden, do I see a leader or a politician? With out a moment of hesitation, I see Joe Biden not merely as a politician, but I see him as the antithesis of a leader. I see him as a confused sheep who just follows along where his undisclosed shepherds tell him to go.
Look at the Hamas-Israeli conflict. Although Biden proclaims to be supporting the Israelis, he is now withholding military aid to Israel that was voted for by Congress, and which he subsequently signed. What’s up with that?
While some of you may be anti-Trump, DJT does not waffle. He makes decisions. You may or may not like the positions that he takes … but when he takes a position, he stands by it.
That leads me to the Americans being held hostage by Hamas. A real leader would have gotten these Americans out of Gaza a long time ago.
What the most recent on the five American hostages that were captured by Hamas on Oct. 7?
From a press briefing on May 27, 2024:
REPORTER: “The five American hostages who are still unaccounted for. Is there any new intelligence about their whereabouts or their potential wellbeing?”
National Security Council spokesman, JOHN KIRBY: “Sadly, no.”
On May 17, when National Security Council spokesman John Kirby was pressed about the status of the American hostages during last Friday’s
White House press briefing, there was “sadly, no” new intelligence that Kirby had to share. “We don’t have any information that–that leads us to a conclusion that they’re–that they’re no longer alive. But we just don’t have any additional context whatsoever,” he offered.
Now let’s all try to be honest here. … Is this or is this not disgraceful?
Would a real leader tolerate American citizens being held hostage by terrorists? Would a real leader then withhold aid to a country that is fighting these same terrorist?
Case closed!
