Vice President Kamala Harris wasn&rsquo;t able to get an endorsement from the Teamsters Union (could they doubt her economic policies?) but she was able to pump up our idiotic diplomats while they&rsquo;re still pressuring Israel for a ceasefire with Hamas, which Hamas has rejected too many times. And then there are the home appliance regs coming from the Biden-Harris team which won&rsquo;t change anything climate-wise but will raise prices of the appliances enormously.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The funniest moment of the week was when Harris rolled out her fourth (fifth?) phony accent in a speech. To date, she&rsquo;s tried a southern accent, a Detroit accent and a French accent. Now she&rsquo;s speaking with a Latina accent. Well, she did grow up in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">middle-class family<\/a>.

The Israelis have already offered Yayah Sinwar, the head of Hamas, safe conduct out of Gaza in return for hostages and were turned down. What else can they offer? Harris also said she supported Biden&rsquo;s blocking shipments of 2,000-pound smart bombs to Israel because they are supposedly killing too many civilians. But the smart bombs &mdash; precision-guided munitions &mdash; are precisely the weapons you need to reduce civilian casualties.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As the world burns, the Biden-Harris team this week sent about $300 million in military aid to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Egypt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Egypt<\/a>.

During an unusual Cabinet meeting on Friday, President Joe Biden acknowledged her leadership by allowing her to take charge at the head of the table, where she presented notes on maternal health initiatives for over four minutes after his brief two-minute introduction. He humorously remarked, &#8220;It\u2019s all yours, kid,&#8221; before stepping aside.<\/p>\n<p>Jill Biden also hosted a Rose Garden event independently of her husband, who has seemingly receded from public view since Democratic Party leaders expressed a preference for Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election. The situation raises questions about both Biden&#8217;s suitability for office and Harris&#8217;s insider knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative commentator Jed Babbin noted several failures from the Biden-Harris administration this week, including their inability to secure a Middle East peace agreement and plans to impose stringent new regulations on everyday appliances that could significantly increase costs without yielding environmental benefits. Additionally, he pointed out that Vice President Harris failed to gain support from the influential Teamsters Union\u2014an endorsement typically expected in presidential races.<\/p>\n<p>Babbin assigned a grade of D- for this week\u2019s performance. He highlighted various political developments: Former President Donald Trump faced another assassination attempt while Joe Biden donned a Trump baseball cap; Kamala Harris struggled with union endorsements but continued diplomatic efforts regarding Israel and Hamas; and new appliance regulations were set to raise consumer prices without addressing climate concerns.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Black journalists\u2014one of whom admitted he tailored his questions favorably towards Harris\u2014she reiterated calls for Israel to agree to ceasefire terms despite previous offers being rejected by Hamas. Furthermore, she supported President Biden&#8217;s decision to halt shipments of precision-guided munitions intended for Israel due to civilian casualties concerns\u2014a stance Babbin criticized given that such weapons are designed specifically to minimize harm.<\/p>\n<p>As global tensions rise, it was reported that approximately $300 million in military aid was sent by the administration to Egypt despite its complicity in aiding Hamas through smuggling operations across their shared border with Gaza\u2014a matter left unaddressed by U.S. officials.<\/p>\n<p>The administration is preparing new &#8220;environmental&#8221; regulations affecting various household appliances like air conditioners and dishwashers; however, these measures are expected only to inflate appliance prices by around $1,000 each without achieving significant environmental goals. <\/p>\n<p>Jed Babbin is a contributor at Washington Examiner and previously served as deputy undersecretary of defense during George H.W.
