The Hilary campaign paid for the Steele dossier, accounted for it as "legal expense" and litigated that decision in court.

About 30 percent of fast-food workers are teens, and another 30 percent are between twenty and twenty-four years old. With 60 percent of its workforce twenty-four or younger, the fast-food industry stands in sharp contrast to the other industries, in which only about 13 percent of workers are that young.

"I need ammunition, not a ride."--Zelensky
Robert Gates, who served as secretary of Defense in the Obama-Biden administration, famously disparaged Joe Biden’s 40-year involvement in foreign policy before he became president: “He has been wrong on nearly every major issue.” This, combined with the traditional Liberal arrogance, has led the Americans to an embarrassing--and possibly dangerous--situation in the Middle East.
Biden also seeks consistency. In 1982, at a closed-door meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden had threatened Begin with cutting off military aid for Israel’s offensive campaign in Lebanon. As Tevi Troy noted in the Wall Street Journal, the story went that Begin responded in fiery outrage:
"Don’t threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles. I’m not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid."
Biden is also consistent in his understanding of leadership as being some measure of extortion. But the calm smugness of the Left, so wonderfully personified by Obama, distains results. Do they really see Israel negotiating with their enemies from a position of compromise?
