The Blue State Hegemony and the Systematic Siphoning of America

By Amil Imani | News With Views | January 13th, 2026

The American political landscape is not shifting by accident; it is being terraformed. While mainstream media pundits discuss “swing voters” and “campaign strategies,” a much more calculated and cold-blooded operation is underway. Every major Blue State stronghold – from the decaying urban cores of the Northeast to the Pacific coast – has secured a permanent Democratic hegemony through a two-pronged assault: the strategic importation of millions of foreigners and the systematic siphoning of billions in taxpayer wealth to fund them.

The Israeli Attorney General is paid by the government, as are her senior lawyers, assistants, secretaries, and many other employees. The government funds her — yet she works to undermine the government in every possible way.

Peloni:  America has a Qatar problem, a Turkey problem and a Muslim Brotherhood problem.  The Trump administration believes that they can leverage profits over the ideology which drives these entities, and in this they are gravely mistaken.  This issue must be addressed at home, but so too, it must be adressed in the region.  The center of Centcom should be relocated elsewhere, and the forces concentrated there should be dispersed.  Qatar is no ally, and its infiltration of Western agencies, its indoctrination of Western education, and its propaganda promoted by its media empire in Al Jazeera demonstrates this fact.

It’s been a busy week at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. On January 14, the U.S. military started evacuating some troops from America’s largest base in the Persian Gulf region in anticipation of potential strikes against Iran. The U.S. Embassy in Doha also advised staff to “limit non-essential travel” to Al Udeid. However, the skies over Iran remained quiet, and U.S. troops began returning to the base on January 15. Al Udeid hosts approximately 10,000 troops and is home to U.S. Central Command’s (CENTCOM) forward headquarters.

Peloni:  Maduro was China’s man in Latin America as well.  Russia’s too.  Qatar’s too.  A great many lines intersected with Maduro in power, which made his capture all the more curious in the noisy but actionless responses which followed the event.  How many paper tigers are ruling the world?  Or have we just not yet felt the bite which will soon follow?

The Mullahs’ reach keeps shrinking.

Nicolás Maduro was Iran’s man in Latin America. He allowed Iran-linked Hezbollah operatives to operate freely in his country, trafficking in drugs to raise money, and then sending both money and weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Now he’s in a New York jail. More on what the overthrow of Maduro means for Iran, and consequently, for Israel, can be found here: “Iran’s friends vanishing: Why Maduro’s arrest matters for Israel – analysis,” by Herb Keinon, Jerusalem Post, January 4, 2026:

Peloni:  Prof. Kontorovich provides a detailed explanation as to why Trump was so grossly in error when he stated he was going to stop Israel from “annexing the West Bank”, even ignoring the use of the pejorative to reference our ancient homelands in Judea and Samaria.  By history, international agreements and customary international law, Israel has no need to annex that which is her own.  Israel has a right to enact her laws for the legal protections of her own people in her own lands, and pretending otherwise only supports the antisemitic goal of labeling the Jewish state as the ‘special case’, the lone exception to legal protections and practices made normative throughout the entire rest of the world.

‘International law’ hardly demands a ‘two-state solution’ to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Nor can it properly limit Israel’s sovereignty over its own territory.

Peloni:  We are 5 months now waiting for Trump to allow the ‘hard way’ to proceed as Hamas rearms and resupplies itself.  The concern that is being expressed for the Gazans should have pushed the ‘hard way’ forward one day after Hamas failed to do as they were obligated to do under the terms of the Trump plan.  The only one being leveraged to keep to the terms of that plan is Israel, and that is still true today as we are mysteriously in Phase 1 and 2 at the same time, as the head technocrat invents “Israeli violations” while ignoring the very real violations being daily exhibited by all parties other than Israel.  The technocrat has shown his true nature, but we will see more of it, much more no doubt.

Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa “affirmed that the injustices witnessed in Syria during the decades of the deposed regime’s rule affected all segments of the Syrian population without exception.”

BySETH J. FRANTZMAN | JANUARY 15, 2026

Syria’s transitional government is trying to do outreach to Kurds as it appears to prepare a new offensive against the Syrian Democratic Forces.
The SDF is backed by the US and is composed mostly of Kurds, controlling eastern Syria.

Syrian security forces recently ejected Kurdish fighters from two neighborhoods in Aleppo, raising concerns about Damascus abusing the rights of Kurds. US officials, who back the new Syrian government, are concerned about attacks on the SDF.

“Election denial” was really hot 5 years ago. The ‘Election Denial’ moral panic led to mass censorship and claims that anyone denying an election result was a dangerous insurrectionist who needed to be locked up and posed a threat to democracy.

Peloni:  Did Trump really abandon the Iranian protestors after urging them into the streets where thousands were gunned down by the Mullahs?  I don’t believe this is likely.  Rather, I agree with the summation of this article, namely that a limited but significant strike raised against Iran will be the most likely outcome in Iran.  I don’t think Trump is looking for regime change, and I don’t think his attack will be the deciding factor in what successes might be made by the protests.  Time will tell of course.

Peloni:  What goes unstated in this article is that the death penalty provides justice, irreversible by future acts of terror which have been used over the past 70 years to inevitably leverage the lives of Jew Ransomed innocents against the release of those who should never be released.  Let these butchers know that their sentence will be final, that they will have no hope of freedom, and that a final justice at the end of a noose will be the consequence of their barbarity.  Be not kind to the cruel so as to not be cruel to the kind.  Simply hang them.

Revised proposal seeks faster implementation and stronger deterrence as Israel confronts ongoing terror threats.

An historic missed opportunity that will cost at the ballot box.

Recent reports indicate that the Sovereignty Law, approved by the Knesset plenum two months ago, has been effectively blocked. Coalition Chairman Ofir Katz transferred the bill from the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee to the Knesset Committee, which he chairs- reportedly following instruction from the Prime Minister. The law is now frozen without debate or formal decision. This is not a minor procedural matter; it represents a significant national opportunity that has been lost, unless it is overturned.
