Biden's job approval still low.

https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/state-of-the-union/direction-of-country
66% say country on wrong track.

https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/joe-biden/issues
53% Disapprove President Biden Job Approval - Economy only 44% approve on Biden's economy job.
So more think Biden's doing bad job on economy.
President Biden Job Approval - Immigration 63% disagree with job
President Biden Approval - Inflation 59% disapprove with job
President Biden Approval on Handling of Israeli-Palestinian Conflict 62% disagree with job
That is why the race between Donald J. Trump and Biden is a nail-biter with Trump leading in 6 out of 7 states.

I wouldn't put it past Israel either ...seems they're now targeting humanitarian aid workers

IDF releases findings of what went wrong in strike that killed aid workers​

The IDF has released findings of a strike that killed seven aid workers - identifying that a series of mistakes and incorrect assumptions resulted in their deaths.

"The investigation's findings indicate that the incident should not have occurred," the IDF has said.

"The strike on the aid vehicles is a grave mistake stemming from a serious failure due to a mistaken identification, errors in decision-making, and an attack contrary to the Standard Operating Procedures."

Killed in the series of airstrikes were three British, one Polish, one Australian, one dual US-Canadian aid worker and their Palestinian driver.

This wasn’t an accident. It was no mistaken misfire.

The IDF cell tracking the vehicles fired lethal precision-guided missiles into each car, one after the other.

Through blurred nighttime surveillance footage, they saw what they thought was a man carrying a gun and assumed he was a Hamas fighter.

They then assumed everyone else travelling in the vehicles were also Hamas. There was no evidence for this.

They kept firing because they saw passengers still alive.

The basic failure to pass details of the aid convoy down the chain of command is a damning slur on a military that thinks of itself as being one of the best in the world.

The decision to launch air strikes with the intent of killing people, based on unsound evidence, raises deeply troubling questions of ethics in combat.

It's a sad irony that one of the only reasons World Central Kitchen were operating at night was because of their previously good working relationship with the Israeli military.

Had six of the seven killed not been foreign aid workers, whose deaths caused an international outcry, then this investigation would not have happened and the Israeli military would not have been forced to explain its actions.

How many Palestinian civilians therefore have been killed in similar, uninvestigated cases of mistaken identity, we will probably never know.

Trump himself has said that Israel is losing the International PR war due to grim images being released. Israeli forces have deliberately targeted foreign journalists, in efforts to close the window on their operations in Gaza.

This isn’t a good look either. Israeli Telegram mocking those that got killed:

@JB Lions I'm confused I thought you and Biden were in favor of Israel (one of the few things we agree on). Do you think what they did was wrong?

^ @Daniel Owens lacking in the moral judgement department

 

[marijuanadomain]

Trump and Republicans will remove social security and Medicare
Trump will get rid of Obamacare
Bad for hard working seniors

 

[Daniel Owens]

@marijuanadomain That is simply silly and a lie. No one has power to take away your precious benefits.

History will be the judge of that...

UN body demands Israel be held accountable for possible war crimes​

The resolution stressed "the need to ensure accountability for all violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law in order to end impunity".

It also expressed "grave concern at reports of serious human rights violations and grave breaches of international humanitarian law, including of possible war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Occupied Palestinian Territory".

"The United States has repeatedly urged Israel to de-conflict military operations against Hamas with humanitarian operations, in order to avoid civilian casualties and to ensure humanitarian actors can carry out their essential mission in safety," said Michèle Taylor, U.S. permanent representative to the Council.

"That has not happened and, in just six months, more humanitarians have been killed in this conflict than in any war of the modern era."

"The Social Security Act, enacted on August 14, 1935, provided a new federally administered system of social insurance for the aged financed through payroll taxes paid by employees and their employers."
Before that people had to save for retirement. @marijuanadomain I hope you paid in enough to get the max of 4K+ monthly. I wouldn't worry and post non-sense over and over about gop cutting it. We've had since 1935 to cut it and no one did.

@marijuanadomain You've posted about 245 times your belief about gop cutting it, either your senile or scared to death. A program since 1935 will not go away, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush and others have kept it safe.

Is that stupid belief with no evidence why your not voting Trump?

Go Google it
Trump said he will cut social security and completely remove Obamacare which he almost did but thanks to McCain
Up to date he hates the McCain family

 

[Daniel Owens]

@marijuanadomain We need a fact checker site to track your lies. It's ok I still love you. I'm confident the programs after about 90 years will remain. Too many seniors depend on them, if they wanted to take it away they would have done it a long time ago. It's a media lie to get some people to vote for Biden and your falling for the media machine and falsehoods.

Your giving congress too much power. If it were that easy they would have done it under Reagan or Nixon.

No one has even been able to raise the age for SS lately, getting rid of it no way. Everyone will keep their benefits. However, I do think the age will be 75+ for new beneficiaries soon.

This Kremlin plant is mad about the great jobs report and continues to lie about Trumps plan to take away marijuanadomains Medicare and social security

Former President Donald Trump said he “will never do anything that will hurt or jeopardize Social Security or Medicare,”

Daniel already said he makes money when this happens

This isn't Russia Mr. Trump doesn't have the power to do it without congress. Seriously, unless your arguing with a 1 seat GOP majority that your buddy democrats will vote against the program.
