Biden Loses the Plot on Israel

By: Matthew Continetti， Washington Free Beacon
Six months. That's how long it took for President Biden to call for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas terrorists who killed some 1,200 people, raped women, tortured and murdered children, and took more than 200 captives, including American citizens, into the maze of tunnels, spider holes, and underground bunkers known as the Gaza Metro on October 7.

Florida (Hypothetically) Winnable for Biden and Dems

By: Bill Scher， Washington Monthly
President Joe Biden's re-election campaign took the unusual step of publicly releasing a strategy memo, contending Florida "is a winnable one for President Biden, especially given Trump's weak, cash-strapped campaign, and serious vulnerabilities within his coalition."

The Data Show Israel Is Not Causing a Gazan Famine

By: Federgruen ＆amp； Kivetz， RCP
Israel's acknowledgement that a drone attack mistakenly killed seven aid workers in Gaza has led to renewed criticism of the Jewish State. The tragic incident came less than three weeks after a report issued by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) claimed that 1.1 million people - nearly half the population of Gaza - face "catastrophic food insecurity" conditions and that Northern Gaza will face famine by May if hostilities continue.

U.S. Leverage Must Be Used To End Tragedy in Gaza

By: Schwartz ＆amp； Inderfurth， The Hill
Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a high-level visit of Israeli officials to Washington, attributing his decision to the Biden administration's refusal to veto a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire and release of hostages. The meeting was rescheduled for Monday and downgraded to a virtual discussion.

6 Months Since October 7, There Are No Winners Here

By: Frida Ghitis， CNN
Almost exactly six months ago, Israelis awoke to a nightmare. Civilians in the southern part of the country, areas near the border with Gaza, were under a brutal, ongoing attack. It would become the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust and a prelude to unspeakable suffering on both sides of the border.

The Party of Abortion & Drugs Sets Its Sights on Florida

By: Tom Basile， Wash Times
If you're a leader of today's Democratic Party, the playbook for winning elections is pretty thin. Bereft of ideas that empower communities to realize their potential, the socialist leadership of the party has few tactics to drive voters to the polls. Race-baiting is one, for sure. Hysteria over so-called threats to democracy and climate change are others. Welfare and the expansion of "free stuff" is an old standby.

Dems Only Need To Make One Argument for Biden

By: Ana Marie Cox， CNN
To win in November, President Joe Biden and other Democrats must seize upon and never let up on abortion rights as their most important policy focus. Democrats' historical reticence to give a full-throated and explicit defense of abortion rights or to take advantage of congressional majorities to enshrine those rights into law kept the door open for Republicans to find a way to overturn Roe v Wade. The painful irony is that because of this policy mismanagement, Democrats have transmuted the hardship and suffering of hundreds of thousands of would-be abortion-seekers into a wave of ballot-box...

Dems' Anti-Free Speech Allies Turn Against Them

By: Jonathan Turley， The Hill
You are "killing people," President Biden told social media companies a couple of years ago. He sought to shame executives into censoring more Americans. Biden has lashed out at disinformation by anti-vaxxers, "election deniers" and others. This month, those words were thrown back at Biden himself as a "genocide denier" by protesters who have labeled him "Genocide Joe" over his support for Israel.

American Conservatism Clarifies Natcon's Contribution

By: Peter Berkowitz， RCP
Members of moral, political, and religious traditions share basic assumptions, fundamental principles, and central convictions about their associations and institutions. Since human beings are self-interested and fallible, words and concepts are many-sided and ambiguous, and justice makes competing demands, traditions - no matter how noble and good their purposes - naturally divide into rival camps that espouse clashing interpretations of their shared inheritance. Grappling with this diversity and dissent within a framework of overall unity is a mark of a living, breathing tradition.

With the two major parties matched pretty evenly, it's not too surprising that margin of control in the House and Senate (at present three seats in the House and just one in the Senate) make them very vulnerable to a change of ownership in November. The close nature of five out of the 21st century's six presidential elections, along with a rare rematch between the last two winners, makes predictions in the 2024 presidential contest problematic as well, even before you get to factors like Donald Trump's civil and criminal trials, his and Joe Biden's advanced age, and the possibility of another...
