The Hill Frets Over Trump's 'Insurrection,' Ignores Biden's Perpetual Wars
The Hill 's 'The Memo' dissects the 2020 debate around Trump potentially invoking the Insurrection Act during Minneapolis unrest. It's a fascinating look back at executive power, nearly four years removed from the actual events. Meanwhile, the current administration continues to authorize military aid and interventions that directly fuel ongoing insurrections and conflicts across the globe. For
instance, President Biden approved another $14.5 billion in military aid to Israel in February, directly funding a campaign that has resulted in documented war crimes, yet no 'Memo' from The Hill questions the broader implications of these actions on international law or domestic unrest. The media's selective outrage is astonishing. While they parse every word Trump uttered about domestic troop
deployment, they often treat the real-time, devastating consequences of U.S. foreign policy as mundane. It appears 'roiling the waters' is reserved for political scandal, not for the actual bombs paid for with taxpayer dollars. How many global 'insurrections' does the U.S. indirectly fund, before The Hill decides those waters are worth more than a passing glance?
