The Zohran Mamdani campaign has some of the earmarks of a foreign influence operation.
Peloni: Again, the political opposition has been seated within Trump’s own cabinet, providing them the means by which to damage his image and obstruct his agenda.

In the last five years, he has advertised in local newspapers and accepted more than a dozen unemployed applicants from the state’s job agency.

Peloni: Victor David Hanson describes the unmatched contest between the radical Left’s attempt to unwrite the American Story as it is responds to the unconventional approach of Trump to revigorate and revive the American Story.
Peloni: It is unconscionable to suggest that Israel should not have bombed the Evin Prison, just as it was ubelievable that Israel did so. The Iranians were given a moment in which to respond and retake their future, and the attack on the Basij and the Evin Prison may have left just enough of a footprint in the minds of the Iranian people that they will someday soon seize the initiative and free themselves from their current state of bondage under the Mullahs. Either way, the bombing of the Evin prison should be celebrated by one and all of us.

A major front-page article in the New York Times this week strongly criticized Israel’s bombing of an Iranian torture center, even going so far as to suggest that the Israeli strike may have been a war crime. One wonders how the Times would have responded if the United States had done to Auschwitz what Israel did to the barbaric Evin prison in Tehran.
What Are the Three Weeks?
by Roamnrab
The Three Weeks is an annual mourning period that falls out in the summer. This is when we mourn the destruction of the Holy Temple and our launch into a still-ongoing exile.
The period begins on the 17th of the Hebrew month of Tammuz, a fast day that marks the day when the walls of Jerusalem were breached by the Romans in 69 CE.

A new official report from Jillian Segal, Australia’s special envoy to Combat Antisemitism, recommended the government block funding to institutions and individuals who fail to adequately oppose antisemitism.
Israelis welcome the prospect of a future in which they are no longer surrounded by well-armed enemies determined to do them harm, even if it means being viewed negatively by the rest of the world.

Beware: Decades after Auschwitz, fighting Jews still don’t win popularity contests. The New York Times reports that “Israel Overpowered Its Foes, but Deepened Its Isolation.” After detailing Israel’s mind-boggling military victories, the Times verges on parody by warning: “Yet many Israelis welcome the prospect of a future in which they are no longer surrounded by well-armed enemies determined to do them harm, even if it means being viewed negatively by the rest of the world.”
Peloni: So has the ethos of Do No Harm been warped into Do No Harm to only some people? Psychopathic twisting of social norms by sick fantasists intending to revolutionize society as a whole is an unhealthy state of affairs, made ever more devious and malicious when applied the the healthcare which should be expected to be equally applied rather than weaponized to suit political initiatives. Does this really need to be stated out loud? Well, it appears it does.

Peloni: Does Curt Sliwa have what it takes to defeat Mamdani? He thinks so. What do others think?
Peloni: Prof. Zisser’s analysis provides the context for grasping the full context of Trump’s Turkey policy. As Israel stands today in Syria, will Trump require that Syrian minorities now being supported by Israeli air power be abandoned to the Jihadi clutches of Al Jolani? Or will he require the Syrian nation be shared between the relevant spheres of influence of these two regional super powers? Or will Syria instead be allowed to be split among its many minorities in the relevant areas to become nations, capable of expressing their own unfettered identities, practicing their own religions without dhimmitude or oppression, and ultimately to pursue their own destinies?
In the newly reshaped Middle East, as in the past, the road to Washington once again runs through Jerusalem. Only countries that pursue policies of stability and peace – including peace with Israel, such as Syria under Abu Mohammad al-Julani – will be able to advance their security and bolster their regional and international standing.

The 12-day war – or perhaps the First Iran War – did not entirely eliminate the Iranian cancer threatening to metastasize across the region. But the blows Israel, with US backing, dealt Tehran have, for now, halted Iran’s nuclear race and delivered a major setback to its ambition of establishing a zone of influence stretching from its borders through Iraq and Syria to Lebanon and the shores of Gaza. From this corridor, the Iranians sought to advance their vision of destroying the State of Israel, a vision that inspired Yahya Sinwar to conceive and execute the deadly October 7 terrorist assault.
Peloni: AG Bondi, amid a mini-civil war with the MAGA base over the recent dismissal of the Epstein case, finally followed thru on something she should have seen to doing on the first day she was in office, or certainly very shortly afterwards – she dropped malicious politicized legal charges against an innocent man. Recalling my recent call for Dr. Moore to go free, I was much relieved to see that justice has finally been done today as Dr. Moore is now a free man. What remains to be acknowledged is that ending this travesty of justice comes months later than was possible, begging the question of what the delay might have been? Certainly, it wasn’t being delayed by the supposedly nonexistent Epstein files which also took months before being dismissed as fiction. In any event, the dismissal of the lawfare charges on behalf of the medical autocracy demonstrated a return of reason, while also providing a twin victory over the perversion of legal and medical norms against a man of such integrity and resolve as characterized the persecution of Dr. Kirk Moore. Very well done!

According to Rosemary Kelanic, publishing in the New York Times, any entrance by the US on behalf of Israel in its present war with Iran most certainly would be a catastrophe. She makes some important and telling points, but, ultimately, her case fails due to internal contradictions and flawed analogies.
Peloni: In any relationship, it is important for each party to acknowledge the relative support being gained from the relationship in question. Amb. Ettinger provides a detailed analysis of just one aspect of the relationship between Israel and the US, specifically in regards to the advances provided by Israel in regards to the US F-35 program and how the investment in the US-Israeli relationship has come to significantly advantage the US in great and impactful ways, again specifically in regards to the F-35 program.

Israeli Air Force members wait for F-35I Adirs to launch for a Red Flag-Nellis 23-2 mission at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, March 16, 2023. Red Flag is an opportunity to build on the success of JUNIPER OAK 23-2, JUNIPER FALCON and additional combined exercises to enhance interoperability with Israel, strengthen bilateral cooperation, and improve capabilities in ways that enhance and promote regional stability and reinforce the United States’ enduring commitment to Israel’s security.

Does the US extend to Israel an annual military foreign aid, or does the US make an annual investment in Israel, which yields to the US taxpayer an annual Return-on-Investment (R-o-I) of a few hundred percent?

Peloni: The question remains what crimes might Brennan be charged with that are not outside of the statute of limitations. I am told that he was very careful in his latest testimony, and prosecution of him making false statements there will likely fail. Also, all other charges related to the Russia Hoax and other past calumnies in which he was involved are beyond the statute of limitations. So what might the FBI be considering to charge him?

Peloni: The October 6 mentality lingers…
Qatar is poised to make a comeback in Gaza. On July 10, Israeli media reported that Israel “tentatively agreed” to allow Qatar to help fund Gaza’s reconstruction once a future ceasefire comes into effect. Qatar’s participation in postwar reconstruction reportedly came at Hamas’s request, but Israeli negotiators stipulated that Qatar should not be the sole donor. If true, the emerging ceasefire would see Qatar reprise its role as Gaza’s benefactor, returning to an arrangement that enabled Hamas to strike in the first place.
Peloni: While complaints of both Americans and world leaders have argued against the US being the world’s policeman, the Trump Doctrine has called for regional partners who have the capacity and aligned ideology to promote US interests without US involvement. This was clearly the role played by Israel in the 12 Day War, even ending that war as declared by the US, and even dropping its final attack regardless of the yet to be met timed deadline due to Trump’s public demand that they do so. Israel has been likewise playing a similar role with Yemen, having taken over the attacks on the Houthis after attacking internatioinal shipping and is now seeking to assemble an international coalition to end the Houthi menace, much as Mike Doran informed us in a recent podcast that Israel would be doing so. This is the Trump Doctrine in action.

Peloni: This is a very concerning report. Mamdani alone has a base motivated to turn out to vote for him, and his opposition is splitting what might be the only chance to defeat him. While Len Grunstein was correct in calling for a fusion candidate to face Mamdani, it will take one candidate, not four, and one which has at least some public appeal to match and defeat that of Mamdani. New York City stands upon the precipice of even greater destruction in this race.
