Benjamin in the Lions’ Den

Prime Minister Netanyahu is scheduled to address the US Congress today at 2:00 p.m.

Red-shirted occupiers squatted in the Cannon Rotunda yesterday. (They looked like campers gathering for Color War. It’s an American thing.) Howlers surrounded Netanyahu’s hotel last night. Elected officials, mostly Democrat, have taken to Twitter to announce their intent to boycott his address. Vice-president, Kamala Harris, whose job it is to preside over joint houses, has found she is otherwise engaged.

Not to be surpassed, New York Times columnists and op ed writers have flooded its pages with essays that in turn, mock and defame Netanyahu.

And Trump?

He invited Netanyahu to his home in Florida.

Trump has made no secret of his unwavering support of Israel. Last week, at the Republican National Convention he demanded that Hamas release “our hostages” and warned them what would happen when he took office if they failed to do so.

It’s a critical time in United States history.

We have just watched a near assassination of a former president and nominee for president, a coup that forced a sitting president to resign his re-election campaign and the unilateral selection of Kamala Harris as the Democrat nominee. Any other Democrat who might have sought the nomination was metaphorically told to pound sand. The machinators may have violated Federal Election law by taking tens of millions of dollars from Biden’s re-election funds. FEC Chairman Sean Cooksey has said that due to the fact that Biden dropped out before his nomination, rules require that a candidate return the money to donors. The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit claiming the same.

Kamala Harris, border czar, Venn afficianado, of oscillating voice and hysterical giggles will be in Indianapolis, Indiana at a gathering of sorority sisters when Netanayhu addresses the Representatives and Senators.

Meanwhile, dozens of hostages remain missing.

It is a speech of a lifetime for Israel and the United States.
