United Torah Judaism Emerges as Key Kingmaker in Israeli Politics  

PELONI:  As I reported sometime ago, UTJ is stepping into the role of kingmaker.  We will see how far the Left will go to secure the Haredi support for the political movement which promised to the public it would refuse any bargain with the Haredi.  Despite some speculation that the Left would bargain a negotiated settlement with the UTJ, UTJ Rabbi Lando is not likely to sell his support to the Left at a reduced price.  I suspect if a deal is reached it will be more similar if not identical to the bargain arranged under Bibi, only now the Supreme Court will use its arbitrary perspective to support rather than block the plan.

United Torah Judaism has positioned itself as the ultimate political kingmaker, leveraging its independent status to negotiate across party lines and secure core community interests.

Wire Israel | Nov 8, 2026

United Torah Judaism is emerging as the pivotal political kingmaker, securing a position where it can negotiate with both sides without making prior commitments. Beyond raw political leverage, the party has gained unexpected public legitimacy, even from factions that previously sought to exclude it from the coalition.

The New Shtadlanut  

PELONI:  Andrew Benjamin provides an important addition to the Bob Goldberg‘s insightful analysis:

If the following will not prove that progressive Jews are literally dysfunctional clowns and their worst enemies, and always have been totally clueless having learned nothing from history, nothing will… Nothing sells as well as a lie one sells to oneself… And they’re still trying to sell the lie to the rest of us… — Andrew Benjamin

The response of the Jewish people to our enemies spouting libels about our people, both in the Diaspora, but certainly from the leadership within Israel, is to respond to the portrayal of the Jewish people as being lesser men drawn from a lesser line of existence by demonstrating the strength and resilience which has marked our people across time and history. This accomplishment has been achieved, not by demonstrating that these libels about us are true by moving with bended knees and bowed heads, but by demonstrating our own conviction that we are men, created in the image of our creator, and that we are the heroes of not only our own stories and history, but also in the stories and histories which form the basis of our enemies’ culture and history.

TWENTY MILLION  

PELONI: Here are some preliminary facts about the US election which raise obvious questions which will be found to have no resolvable answers.  Unlike the 2020 election fraud, scrutiny over the 2026 election fraud will not be handed over to the very people who were rewarded by that fraud.  Trump’s administration has six weeks to find evidence of election fraud to contest the election.  After that, though, the criminal activities which were ignored by Biden’s FBI and DOJ in 2020, will become the responsibilty of Trump’s FBI and DOJ.  So it will be interesting to see what what comes from these various investigation.  Notably, as many voters raise concerns about the relevance in voting in rigged elections, it might be useful to demonstrate that both elections and election fraud both have consequences.  As Trump was the victim of such an election theft in 2020, and his party now lies decimated from the latest iteration of that event, it raises the question in my mind if he will in fact do nothing about this orchestrated tragedy perpetrated on the American people under his watch.  The answer to that question of course will write, not only Trump’s legacy, but also the viability of the American Republic, thus leaving Trump with the choice of pursuing election integrity and transparency on the back-end of the election after failing to secure it on the front-end.  So we will see how Trump responds to this electoral perfidy which betrayed his party, his movement, his supporters and the entire American franchise in a thousand simultaneous election frauds across the entire United States of America.

I know nothing will be done. I know nothing will come of it. We have seen this play out many times but even so, twenty million? That’s insane.

Republican votes stayed the same.

The Democrat’s victory and the new politics of Jewish vulnerability  

The critical question this election raises is whether American Jews still have a secure future in the U.S., or if domestic politics will begin to mirror the exceptional, double standards that have long been demanded of the Jewish state globally. 

Dr. Alex Grobman | Published: Nov 4, 2026

On election night, Abdul El-Sayed celebrated his victory in Michigan’s Senate race by telling supporters that American money should not be spent on “apartheid or genocide or war.” The incoming senator, who has accused Israel of genocide and opposed American military aid to the Jewish state, will now enter a Congress in which his party has won control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The Eclipse of MAGA  

PELONI:  MAGA was borne out of a rejection of corruption, a defiance of national pride, and a motivation to make the world a better, safer, more prosperous vehicle of success to be left to America’s children of tomorrow, and to their children in turn.  In fact, the plucky American spirit which drove the Europeans, the Globalists, and the totalitarians mad was the spark which gave rise to the wildfire of defiance which is at the core of the MAGA movement.  While many Left wing activists and voters felt abandoned by their former Democratic party because of its earmarks for a lack of national identity and an actual disdain for the working class of America, they added their numbers to the ranks which refused to see America go quietly in the good night because they recognized that doing so would leave them and their children living in a dystopian nightmare to which only a world without Americanism might give rise.  While the floodgates of illegals were used to dilute the love of America, the promotion of Islamists were used to terrorize the act of loving America, and the principles of Marxism, socialism and communism were used to impoverish those who loved America, America still stands, and the people who challenged the right of passage of the Marxist Islamization of America will not lie quiet while yet another election falls prey to the electoral mischief under the tenterhooks of corruption, insurrection and tyranny which seek an end of Americanism and the voice of the American people whose defiance and resolve are themselves what formed the MAGA movement, gave it its inspiration, swelled its ranks with national pride, and which will prove that America is not for sale, it is not defeated, and it will survive this stolen election as it has survived those in the past.

Stephen Miller Rises to White House Chief of Staff Under Trump  

PELONI:  It is being reported that Suzie Wiles was relieved of her post due to her possible role in supporting the move to impeach Sec. of War Pete Hegseth.  While this is being denied by Trump, the change in posture between Suzie Wiles and that of Stephen Miller will be seen to be a compete shift in Trump’s White House, with some describing Miller as Trump’s wartime consigliere.  Miller is an excellent choice for the role he now holds, as he has always been Trump’s most ardent advocate of the MAGA movement, and it would have served Trump well to have had such an ally as Chief of Staff at the beginning of Trump’s second term, if not also at the beginning of Trump’s first term.  The fact that Trump has made this move in the wake of what can only be described as the Red Wedding of the Republican party, illicits the view that the gloves may finally be coming off in the fight for the future of America and the legacy of the MAGA presidency.  Let us hope that this is actually true.

Stephen Miller has been appointed White House chief of staff under President Donald Trump. A key architect of hardline immigration policies, Miller’s rise marks a significant shift toward a more combative West Wing.

Stephen Miller has known how to command attention since his high school days in Santa Monica, California, where he ran for student council and argued against school trash cleanup on the grounds that custodians are paid to do the job. Declaring back then that he would say and do things no sane person would, Miller has now risen to become one of the most powerful figures in Washington following his appointment as White House chief of staff under President Donald Trump.
