The Morning Briefing: Obama Eager to Remind Everyone He's an Idiot on Foreign Policy

Top O’ the Briefing

Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Filitzia took great pride in being known as “The Swap Meet Queen of Embroidered Unmentionables.”

The most polarizing politician of the last 40 years is not, as leftists would have us believe, Donald Trump. For my money, it’s none other than His High Holiness the Lightbringer, Barack Obama.

Seriously, the dude is irritating.

Unfortunately, half the country thinks that he’s the most brilliant man to do brilliant things in the history of brilliance. Anyone who disagrees with that, according to them, is — say it with me — racist.

One day, historians may decide that they are tired of embarrassing themselves and critically assess Obama’s legacy as president, which is especially awful when one is discussing foreign policy. He left messes all over the globe, many of which still getting messier. Remember, this is the guy who thought Russia was no longer a threat.

To anyone.

Obama took a break from vapid celebrityhood to weigh in on the crisis in the Middle East and — predictably — his hot take was unoriginal and wrong. Those are his foreign policy hallmarks, by the way.

Rick has the latest from America’s dictator-in-constitutional-exile:

Former U.S. President Obama expressed his concern that Israel’s blockade of Gaza could “harden Palestinian attitudes for generations,” weaken international support for Israel, and undermine efforts to achieve peace and stability” in the region.

In the fever dream of American progressives, the psychotic Islamic terrorists who behead, blow up, and rape people are never seen as obstacles to peace and stability. It’s the unyielding Israelis who are being beheaded, blown up, and raped who are mucking up the bliss. The insanity is rooted in the insistence that Gaza is awash in saintly “Palestinians” who are suffering from the bad PR being brought upon them by a few bad eggs who kill a whole bunch of people. Never mind the fact that these sweet people keep electing the Hamas savages to be in charge.

Barack Obama has a particular gift for empathizing with the worst of humanity in situations where those in the wrong are incredibly easy to identify. His real legacy can be seen in terrorist sympathizers like congresswomen Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and America’s Dumbest Bartender, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Because he loves the sound of his own voice, Obama has a lot more to say, which Rick shares in the post. Because he hates America, Obama finds a way to disparage it while discussing the situation in the Middle East.

None of what he says about how Israel should go about its business matters, because his central premise is wrong. The killers in Hamas and their terrorist brethren are — and always will be — the only roadblocks to peace in the region. There is no polite or safe way to eliminate the threat.

And, if we’re being honest here, “Palestinian attitudes” can’t really get any more “hardened” than they always have been.

RIP Nathan Wurtzel.

The Republican political world lost a genuinely nice guy when Nathan Wurtzel passed away yesterday. Here’s the announcement from GOP Reps. Glenn Thompson and Tim Walberg:

I met Nathan during the Tea Party days. He truly was one of the good guys. I’ve met a lot of great people in my years as an activist, but Nathan was one of the better ones. Sentiments similar to mine were echoed all over social media yesterday. He and I mostly bonded over sports — especially baseball. Nathan was a relatively young man, so his death was all the more shocking. Here’s a tweet from Mary Katharine Ham that expresses things well:

It makes me sad that his last two weeks would have been so hard, but I also know there’s nothing he’d rather do with that time than be an affectionate, proud, fierce advocate for the Jewish people. This is a time when you can use Nathan in the fight, and he will be dearly missed.
