New Rule: No Jews, No News | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)  

Peloni:  This is a really significant statement spoken by Bill Maher addressing the libels which support and expand antisemitism.  I would argue that Maher’s false portrayal of the statement by Rep. Randy Fine as being that of a bigot, rather than recognizing it as a statement regarding the intolerance which Muslims actually do have for dogs, stands out among the truths carried in this monologue.

His 2 guests interviewed after his long hard to follow speech – were (1) Lawyer Mark Goldfeder, CEO and Director of the National Jewish Advocacy Center, Inc., who has been his guest many times.

Islam: A Challenger Civilization  

Linda Goudsmit | May 17, 2026

William Gawthrop, Ph.D. has impressive military, intelligence, and academic credentials. His 2021 dissertation in Criminal Justice from Walden College argues that crimes involving Islamic religious utterances are not conventional crimes. Titled “The Doctrinal Basis of Islamic Utterances Associated with Domestic Assaults,” the dissertation explains how these attacks are not random domestic assaults, they are examples of Jihad applied as street crime that are motivated by codified religious Islamic texts.

The ongoing intrusion, infiltration, and expansion of Islam inside America is not accidental––it is doctrinal. I am providing a sampling of Dr. Gawthrop’s extraordinary work because I believe it is impossible to solve a problem without understanding the problem. The American people have been misled––but knowledge is empowering and there is still time to save America from the creeping Islam that has engulfed Europe.

Role of Gulf states in Iran conflict said to change over one week  

Iran’s narrative was that some of the Gulf states hosted US forces, or in the case of the UAE and Bahrain, had signed the Abraham Accords with Israel.

The Mirror Saudi Arabia Refuses to Look Into: What Khaled Hassan Got Right  

By Jalal Tagreeb

Video Loads at Bottom

In a recent video that has been circulating widely across Arabic-speaking platforms, Egyptian commentator Khaled Hassan delivered what can only be described as a devastating — and unwitting — vindication of Israel’s strategic position in the Middle East. Hassan’s analysis, sharp and unapologetic, was aimed squarely at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its contradictory, fear-driven posture toward Iran. But in laying bare Riyadh’s paralysis, Hassan inadvertently stripped away the last fig leaf covering a truth that pro-Israel observers have long argued: Iran is the existential menace in this region, and Israel, far from being the aggressor, is the rational actor that much of the Arab world secretly wishes it could emulate.

The Future Maoz Recanati Died Defending  

Peloni:  The future is what we make of it.  The weight of what we might settle to accept after suffering the sacrifices made by men such as Maoz Recanati will be borne on the shoulders of our children and our grand children.

When Is It Fake News?  

Janet Levy

Amid a crisis of trust in America, marked by the proliferation of manufactured news, tainted AI, and apocryphal social media populated by bots (up to 50% of posts), along with purchased likes and retweets, media consumers are deeply skeptical. According to a recent poll, only 38% believe the three assassination attempts on Trump were genuine.

Believing the unbelievable about Jews is another story. When the gray lady of ill repute reports a whooper that defies belief: that Israel trained dogs to rape Palestinians, released on the very day the results of a two-year investigation into the weaponization of sex during the October 7th Massacre were published, readers believe it.

Trump suggests 20-year nuclear freeze for Iran deal  

Peloni:  Trump retreats on Iran nuclear program, from “they can NEVER have a nuclear weapon” to “twenty years is enough.” This was a devastating shift in Trump’s rhetoric, which is notably aimed at negotiating a settlement with a terrorist death cult which has NEVER adhered to any agreement into which they previously entered.  Best case scenario from such a deal would be to hand the threat which brought Trump to war with Iran to the next generation, something for which he himself has criticized every president which preceded him.

The UN’s architecture to annihilate the West  

Peloni:  A must read article.  The United Nations is a systematic tool used to imbed corruption, weaponize migration, and embolden radicalism.  It is not by chance that Europe has so quickly fallen prey to the Islamization of the continent, and America is next on the agenda.  Such enemies of Western civilization as the UN can not be reformed because its fundamental basis has become the perversion of civilized norms so as to cripple the very basis of national identity.  When President Trump next talks about the tale of the Snake, think of this report by Amil Imani, and consider what the West is doing by advancing any attempt to maintain such an evil and vile institution in any place of authority or power.  Instead, this institution should be stripped to its foundation and its leadership should be prosecuted for Crimes against its Nation State members and their respective populations.

Each and every apparatus working against our sovereignty and greatness.

Amil Imani | Am Thinker | May 14, 2026

The United Nations functions as a predatory cartel dedicated to the systematic liquidation of national borders. Its agenda demands the total eradication of the nation-state to pave the way for a centralized, unelected global tyranny.

Understanding Iran’s strategy across military, diplomacy, and influence  

Beyond the battlefield, Iran wages a war of diplomacy and perception, aiming to shape outcomes far beyond direct combat.

We are living with multi-pronged and multi-layered fighting in the Middle East. There is the straightforward military conflict that is multi-faceted, featuring overwhelming military might against asymmetrical fighting that seems more like terrorism than warfare.

Hamas commander Izz al Din al Haddad targeted in Israeli airstrike  

Update:  Haddad killed in Israeli strike!

Peloni:  Haddad was integral to the abuses suffered by Hamas’ hostages, and managed the hostages in the prison dens beneath Gaza.  His final elimination should be recognized as a significant achievement in and of itself.

By Joe Truzman | May 15, 2026

Israeli military aircraft attacked an apartment building in Gaza City’s Rimal neighborhood on Friday, targeting Hamas’s military chief, Izz al Din al Haddad. The strike, if successful, would be the third Hamas leader in Gaza to have been killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) since the Islamist group and its allies initiated the war with Israel on October 7, 2023.

Democrat Governor Frees Trump Ally Imprisoned For Questioning 2020 Election  

Peloni:  I really never thought we would see the day Tina Peters was finally released from prison.  Her incarceration was a case of clear retribution for having carried out her duty in overseeing the election process in her district and then collecting evidence and reporting the crimes which she uncovered in the infamous 2020 election tampering.  In an era marked with political show trials under the Biden administration, Tina Peters stands out due to her remarkable courage and relentless determination by the Colorado state authority to break every norm so as to make an example of what might befall those who might duplicate Peter’s resolve to secure the vote in America.

Rebeka Zeljko | National Correspondent | Daily Caller | 

Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis commuted the sentence of Tina Peters on Friday, a former county clerk who questioned the 2020 election outcome and was facing nine years in prison.

Victor Davis Hanson: This Is Who Really Deserves Reparations  

Peloni:  In the following video, Victor Davis Hanson states, “?If you want to give reparations, how about all the people who died fighting in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Korea? What did they get.”  Victor Davis Hanson discusses pro-Palestinian protests in Jewish neighborhoods in New York City, arguing that political and campus culture have contributed to rising antisemitism and broader social disorder. He outlines what he calls the “four horsemen” of modern antisemitism: immigration-driven demographic change, DEI ideology, shifts within the Democratic Party, and left-wing popular culture, while also criticizing parts of the populist right.   The conversation also covers immigration and sanctuary policies, comments by Alejandro Mayorkas on border policy, reports on Oct. 7 atrocities, Harvard University’s reparations initiative, crime and early release policies, and upcoming political issues.

The World’s Favorite Existential Question: Should Israel Exist?  

Peloni:  Must read article by Victor Satya!  The poignant consequence of questioning if Israel should exist posits the implication that Israel’s survival is debatable, and that this debate should be held by those other than the people which formed this nation, in both the millennia past or in its current reconstitution.  And this word ‘reconstitution’ is the point upon which the ignominious debate should be silenced once and for all.  Indeed, the League of Nations did not grant the Jews a state of their own, but instead empowered them with only the recognition that our ancient people would once again be constituted on the indigenous lands of our ancestors.  This recognition itself was in deference to the will of the Jewish people to rebuild our nation on our land as represented by the Zionist movement.

We Ignored This Speech… Now It’s Impossible to Ignore | Mosab Hassan Yousef  

Madeline Brooks:  The outstandingly brave Son of Hamas, Mosab Hassan Yousef, goes even further in his excoriations of Hamas’ wickedness and his endorsement of Israel. In a recent video that did not recieve the attention it deserved, he declares, “Israel is earth, Israel is God. You fight with Israel, you fight with the most powerful authority of the universe.”  What a wonderful rebuke not only to the gentile Israel haters but to the growing hordes of “Jewish” Israel haters who side with Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Of course, Israel is not God, but it is the place where God is working Redemption.
