. It takes two to love, as it takes two to hate. And I will keep loving you, in spite of yourself. My heart beats faster when I think of you. Nothing else matters.

Kaili Joy Gray at Daily Kos:

The Wall Street Journal published a seemingly damning story on Tuesday night about President Joe Biden’s diminishing mental acuity, with a headline guaranteed to cause panic: “Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping.” With a header like that, you might think the Journal really has the goods on Biden this time, with quotes from dozens of sources within the White House, likely speaking anonymously for fear of appearing to betray their boss with the damaging confessions about how he, in fact, is too old and unfit to be president for another term.

But no. Who does the Journal have? Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson. And former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. And Idaho Sen. James Risch, who is—as you might have guessed—a Republican. Contrary to its terrifying headline, what the Journal has is a blatant hit piece from Republicans who are shamelessly pushing the Republican talking point that Biden—who is only four years older than Donald Trump—is oh so very, very old. Concerningly so.

[...] Well, there was The New York Times, where the opinion pages were filled with hand-wringing about Biden’s age and how voters are so much more concerned about the 81-year-old president than his 77-year-old opponent.

The Wall Street Journal wrote a brazen hit piece attacking Joe Biden’s supposed diminishing mental acuity by citing Republican sources and ignoring Democrats who praised Biden.

Republican office holders are all Trump's bitches now.

The problem for them is that after Trump is gone, their self-abasing, grovelling, and humiliating comments will still be on the public record.

An unequivocal defeat for Trump would send the GOP into a vortex of chaos. That's even more of an incentive to make sure he's beaten.

Implementing a Plan to Phase Out UNRWA and Resettle “Palestine Refugees” Outside Israel: The separate UN agency that deals with all other world refugees promptly resettles those refugees and ends conflicts. By contrast, UNRWA does not resettle “Palestine refugees” in new countries. Instead, UNRWA deliberately perpetuates “Palestine refugee” status indefinitely (for 75 years as of now), to serve as a continuing encampment for warring against Israel. The Risch/Roy bill addresses this issue, by calling for a comprehensive plan for phasing out UNRWA and for “resettling Palestinians in countries other than Israel or territories controlled by Israel in the West Bank [Judea/Samaria] in accordance with international humanitarian principles.”

Ending UNRWA’s Absurdly Broad Definition of “Palestine Refugee”: The Risch/Roy bills also limits the definition of “Palestine refugee” to: persons who resided in what was then Mandatory Palestine between June 1946 and May 1948; and were personally displaced as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict”; and have “not accepted an offer of legal residency, status, citizenship, or other permanent adjustment in status in another country or territory.”

The Risch/Roy bills would thus end UNRWA’s absurd, uniquely broad, perpetual definition of “Palestine refugees,” which includes descendants, and people who have long since resettled elsewhere. No other refugees in the world are able to pass refugee status on to descendants. No other refugee definition includes persons who have resettled in new homes and countries.

Notably, many of UNRWA’s “Palestine refugees” are descendants of individuals who never had a permanent home in Israel and didn’t even qualify as refugees to begin with. Original “Palestine refugees” were only required to live or work in Israel during a 2-year period (1946-1948), and many hailed from other countries (Egypt, Syria, Algeria, etc.). All other refugees in the world are required to have had a permanent home in the place they left.

There was also enormous fraud in refugee numbers from the outset: According to British figures, in 1947, only approximately 561,000 Arabs lived in the area that became Israel, and a significant number of those remained in Israel. Only about 367,000 Arabs left Israel in 1947-1949. (See Shmuel Katz, Battleground: Fact and Fantasy in Palestine, pp. 23-27, and sources cited therein.) Yet, the initial UNRWA rolls (in 1950) magically included 957,000 people – approximately 600,000 more than the total number of Arabs that left Israel. That’s because virtually anyone could register as a Palestine refugee, without proof.
