As Americans wait for the dysfunctional GOP House to elect a new leader after booting one out for the first time in history, there's an open war in the Middle East.
Hamas/Iran launched a massive attack against Israel Saturday slaughtering civilians and overrunning Israeli military posts killing hundreds (latest estimate 500) and taking hostages.
It came as a complete surprise to our ally and to American intelligence. No one saw it coming despite the country being known for a world-class defensive network.
The big question now is how much President Biden can help Israel when Congress is shut down? Both Houses are shuttered during these extremely sensitive and volitive international events.
We can thank the GOP crazy caucus for what's happening. Now the party is trying to pick a replacement for the ousted Kevin McCarthy because eight of their most extreme members wanted to cause chaos.
Worse yet, they're looking at either Gym Jordan or Steve Scalise to take the gavel. Both are traitors who worked with Trump to overturn the 2020 election and are worse than McCarthy was.
Political pundits don't see either making the bar of 217 votes. Then what happens? More time goes by, and their indecision will lead to a government shutdown in November because the morons don't have a leader.
After they finally come up with a leader, he/she has to either compromise with the Democrats or continue to be stupid and take the path of destruction of the country's infrastructure and financial standing with the world.
Meanwhile our ally Israel is in dire need of our support, and we must not forget another ally, Ukraine, whose wartime funding has come to a screeching halt during this polarized state of affairs.
As it stands, the very foundations of this republic are cracking under the weight of the challenges we now face. Let alone in the future with a rogue former president attempting to destroy our democracy.
