David Friedman, former Ambassador to Israel for former President Donald Trump, explained how the Biden administration undid the work Trump had done to weaken the despotic Iranian regime and declared Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t “really believe in the cause, in the ultimate justice of a Jewish state.” “When we left office, Iran was on the verge of bankruptcy,” Friedman told The Media Line’s Felice Friedson. “Qasem Soleimani, who had been their chief architect of terror, had been eliminated by the United States, imposing great fear and concern on the part of the mullahs. And then Biden comes in.” “Iran began to sell oil in large amounts to China, to Russia, two of America’s greatest adversaries. Large, specific amounts,” he noted. “There was like a $6 billion gift here, a $10 billion gift there. That seemed to make no sense. So what happened to Iran? Iran more than doubled its GDP in a couple of years by about $200 billion.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Pointing out Iran likely used the funds to support terrorist groups, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, all of which are at war with Israel, he continued by recalling how close the Trump administration had been to normalizing relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel, saying, “I think we needed about six months more in our administration to get the Saudis on our side.” Friedman said Indonesia and “some of the secondary Gulf nations” had also been ready to normalize relations with the Jewish state. “What people need to understand about the Abraham Accords is it wasn’t about showing these countries that we could move away from Israel,” he stated. “It was about showing these countries how closely we were aligned with Israel. That’s what made Israel the most attractive partner to the Gulf, that they were rock-solid aligned with the United States.” “What I thought then, and I think what’s been proven to be the case, is that the US-Israel alliance, at its strongest, is the fulcrum upon which you can then expand peace throughout the Middle East,” he said. “As it weakens, those opportunities not only become less, but the potential for malign activity and mischief becomes greater.” Speaking of the 2024 election, he said some Jews who support Kamala Harris “really just want to self-rationalize the idea that Kamala Harris will be better for Israel or better at fighting antisemitism than Trump. I don’t think there’s any intellectually honest way to get there.” Friedman spoke of Trump’s 2019 executive order that stated, “My Administration is committed to combating the rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic incidents in the United States and around the world. Anti-Semitic incidents have increased since 2013, and students, in particular, continue to face anti-Semitic harassment in schools and on university and college campuses. … It shall be the policy of the executive branch to enforce Title VI against prohibited forms of discrimination rooted in anti-Semitism as vigorously as against all other forms of discrimination prohibited by Title VI.” Friedman called the order an “enormously important” tool that President Joe Biden has not enforced. “You can’t get tenure at a major American university if you’re pro-Israel,” Friedman asserted. “We’ve seen that over and over again. And this is the breeding ground for the leaders of America for the next 20, 30, 40 years.” Saying he was “really nervous” about a world where Harris won the election, he continued, “Who’s going to deal with making sure Israel has the weapons it needs to defend itself? The only thing Kamala Harris has ever said that’s in favor of Israel is that they have the right to defend themselves. I’d like her to point to any country in the world that, after it’s been attacked, doesn’t have the right to defend itself. It’s a meaningless platitude. Where she goes with that, I don’t know. I don’t think she really believes in the cause, in the ultimate justice of a Jewish state.”

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Robert Califf and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding they guarantee that goods imported to the United States are not made with slave labor. In 2021, Rubio introduced the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), which was signed into law. The Act would “ensure that goods made with the slave labor of Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and elsewhere in the People’s Republic of China do not enter the United States,” Rubio’s website noted. In the letter, Rubio noted “recent reports identifying two pharmaceutical producers based in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) that are permitted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to distribute their products in the U.S.,” adding, “This is in clear violation of current law which prohibits imports from the region due to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) egregious human rights abuses, including genocide, forced abortions, and forced sterilizations.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Recent analysis by the Centers for Advanced Defense Studies exposed that the FDA currently allows at least two pharmaceutical producers, Xinjiang Nuziline Bio-Pharmaceutical Co. and SEL Biochem Xinjiang Co. to import APIs and drug products into the U.S.,” Rubio continued. “Both of these companies are linked to slave labor in Xinjiang and are not listed on the UFLPA Entity List.” “The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act assures the American people that the products they purchase were made without slave labor,” Rubio wrote. “It is clear that the lack of oversight by the FDA has not made this true. The FDA and DHS have a responsibility to rectify this dangerous error and uphold the law. Therefore, I demand both departments and the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force to immediately place Xinjiang Nuziline Bio-Pharmaceutical Co. and SEL Biochem Xinjiang Co. on the UFLPA Entity List. I also ask that the FDA and DHS complete a thorough review of every company authorized to distribute pharmaceuticals and API in the United States to ensure compliance with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.”

Last month, we told you about the annual Dackelparade in Regensburg, Germany. Now, we’re celebrating the Dackel Museum, which organizes the event. Dackel is the German word for Dachshund. While most people love the long, low-slung dogs, some don’t appreciate the finely-tuned hunting machines. If you don’t like Dachshunds, you might as well click out now. @laurrants So I went to the world’s only Dachshund museum and… #dachshund #dackel #museum #fyp ♬ original sound – Rashieen Josef Küblbeck and Oliver Storz are the humans behind the Dackel Museum. In addition to its collection of artwork and memorabilia, the Dachshund Museum frequently hosts live guests Moni, Seppi, and Flowers. These three little stars belong to the museum founders.

You won’t find many images of the displays within the museum, so you’ll have to visit in person for the best experience. However, the museum’s contents are a testament to the larger-than-life stature of Dachshunds. The tiny dogs are revered across Germany, and the artistic representations within the museum translate that love. Image from TikTok. Dachshund translates to “badger dog,” which is perfect. Dachshunds are bred to hunt badgers. Their short legs and long, powerful bodies are perfect for chasing the elusive animals into their burrows. For more than 600 years, the fearless little dogs have earned their reputation. Despite their small stature, Dachshunds have a big dog bark. They are clever, strong, and prepared to battle the bigger badger. A standard-sized animal can range from 16 to 32 pounds, with miniature versions weighing under 11 pounds. There are three coat types: wirehaired, smooth, and longhaired. They make excellent watchdogs but can be stubborn and a bit reckless in their diligence. Please share if you know a Dachshund lover.
