Staff Reports
A year has passed since the unimaginable Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, marking October 7 as a day of reflection. It stands as a stark testament to the failures of the Biden-Harris administration, whose incompetence and lack of urgency are as glaring as ever. Instead of providing a clear pathway to rescue the hostages, this administration has left many unanswered questions and an air of frustration hanging over the families and the nation.
In the aftermath of the attack, Joe Biden proclaimed he was personally involved in negotiations to free the more than 200 hostages taken by Hamas. His claim to be working “around the clock” has become a punchline rather than a promise kept. Kamala Harris chimed in with claims of her involvement, asserting a shared commitment to not only free the hostages but also create a stable future for both Israelis and Palestinians. One has to wonder, though, if they were too busy spinning their wheels in diplomatic circles while actual families were left in limbo.

As the world marks this grim anniversary, it begs the question: where are the hostages? With 97 still enduring captivity, the Biden administration’s track record raises eyebrows. Sure, a few hostages have been released, but that just brings to light the fortunate circumstances surrounding that four-year-old girl, Abigail Edan, who conveniently happens to be related to a prominent Democratic donor. The optics of this release are nothing short of troubling, suggesting that political connections might hold more weight than the life of an American hostage.
This is not a mere coincidence; it’s a sobering look into how decisions are made in the current administration. Was there some hidden agenda at play, prioritizing the relatives of top campaign donors over the plight of all hostages? It’s a head-scratcher. One must ask if a few more abstract paintings from Hunter Biden could be traded for the remaining hostages stuck in the clutches of Hamas.
The difference in leadership between Biden’s current approach and that of past administrations is also striking. Ronald Reagan faced the Iran hostage crisis and with his decisive leadership, saw the hostages released almost immediately upon taking office. In stark contrast, the Biden administration seems to be fumbling as they try to appease terrorists rather than confront them, inadvertently empowering groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Effectively, the weak and hesitant response has left American and Israeli hostages to languish in captivity while the administration’s priorities lie elsewhere. The contrast couldn’t be clearer: strength and resolve from the past versus weakness and indecision in the present. The hostages deserve better, and the American people deserve to know the truth behind this troubling saga.
