Peloni:  In the article linked below, Lee Smith reports that Joe Kent left his intelligence in the Trump administration amid internal disagreements within the Trump administration over policy toward Iran. It describes concerns raised about his conduct, including references to an FBI investigation into alleged unauthorized disclosures of information.

It also discusses statements Kent has made criticizing U.S. policy and referencing Israel’s influence, presenting these as part of broader internal tensions.  Notably, Kent was a known critic of Trump’s when he was appointed to his role as DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s deputy.  From here Smith turns his attention to DNI Gabbard, noting her position within the administration and her views on the Iran conflict which had historically been contrary to that of Trump.  From here Smith next raises questions about Gabbard’s handling of internal issues related to leaks.

The article concludes by describing an ongoing shift within the administration as it aligns around Trump’s Iran policy, suggesting that officials associated with dissenting views may face removal, including Gabbard.  Importantly, Gabbard was never a good fit for a position as DNI which would place her in a role which would certainly be expected to be critical to dealing with Trump’s Iran’s position.  Notably, prior to her confirmation, I raised the question of Why is Tulsi Gabbard’s Judgement So Bad, but there were other voices relating concerns about her appointment.

Woke mayor smiles warmly upon oppression and violence.

by Robert Spencer| Mar 24, 2026

Mormons once had a reputation for being conservative, but those days are gone forever. Salt Lake City is so woke that it even adopted the pride flag as an official city flag in order to circumvent a ban on flying anything but the official national flag, the state flag, city flags and a few others on municipal property.

Mark opens his Saturday Mar 21 show: with a summary of historical challenges raised against President Lincoln by the press and his political opposition, something which Mark notes has been forgotten due to Lincoln’s ultimate decisive victory in the American Civil war.  Mark contends that as Lincoln has come to be counted among the great presidents of the US, that Trump will be similarly revered.  This comparison of course would necessitate Trump achieving a decisive victory over Iran in a similar vein to Lincoln’s victory over the Confederacy.

Federal prosecutors on Thursday unsealed indictments against a man who has fled to China and his sister who remains in Florida, charging them with an improvised explosive device plot targeting MacDill Air Force Base — the nerve center of American military operations against Iran — in a case that raises urgent questions on motive and whether geopolitical factors could be at play.

Peloni:  As explained below by Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, there has been a longstanding battle waging thru Israeli society which has seen fit to eliminate the power in the state which lies with the people, rendering the democratic nature of Israel to be quite void.  This is a painful, but honest, depiction of the state of affairs within the state of Israel which is garnering greater and greater support to seek a reset via radical and unconventional means.

Israel’s claim to be the “only democracy in the Middle East” has become increasingly farcical.

How denial, cowardice, and failed leadership are reshaping the West

Michel Benchimol

Europe is now living inside the consequences of its own illusions.
Britain and Canada are not far behind—they are following the same script, just a few years later.

For decades, Western political elites sold their populations a comforting fantasy: that mass immigration without meaningful integration, multiculturalism without hierarchy of values, and tolerance without limits would produce harmonious, diverse societies.

Most Islamic terrorist attacks start out as mysteries and end up as unsolvable enigmas that are put down to mental illness, random circumstances or the phases of the moon. But sometimes an Islamic terrorist inconveniently explains in great detail exactly what he did and why he did it.

Peloni: Rabbi Pesach Wolicki talks with Dr. David Wurmser about Trump’s continued voiced preference to enact the Venezuela model of regime transformation over regime change.  This remains to be a disturbing proposition which Trump continues to support, most recently with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the current Iranian Parliamentary Speaker.  Wurmser provides a detailed history of Ghalibaf’s record as a repressive member of Iran’s establishment which would lead to the betrayal of the Iranian people, Iran’s neighbors and the very American interests which supported its entry into this war.

Peloni: Yes, five months into a 36hr deadline for Hamas to be disarmed and disbanded, we are informed that another 3 month delay is to be added on to this betrayal of the promised victory over Hamas.  Recalling how the world shed an ocean of crocodile tears in supposed sympathy for the people of Gaza when Israel was poised to destroy Hamas, these same voices stood silently in shame while Hamas subsequently turned its savagery on these same Gazans while reasserting its authority over the limits of its control and mounting an endless cascade of assaults on the IDF and attempting to body snatch its way towards ever greater rewards.

• Several members of Trump’s Board of Peace, especially Turkey and Pakistan, have expressed serious concerns about, if not outright hostility to, disarming Hamas, a factor that many believe has resulted in talks on the disarmament of the terror group being put on hold.

Of course Iran’s leaders reject the U.S proposal for a peace agreement. Iran’s leaders perceive diplomatic attempts to end this war as weakness and desperation. And Iran responded with ridiculous demands of their own, that include war reparations, sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, and guarantees against future strikes.

1. The campaign began with the reported killing of Ali Khamenei, signaling from the outset that the objective was to strike at the very top of Iran’s power structure. Since then, the joint American–Israeli operation has focused on removing senior leadership rather than dismantling the state itself. Those reported killed include Ali Shamkhani (senior national security adviser), Mohammad Pakpour (IRGC commander-in-chief), Aziz Nasirzadeh (defence minister), Abdolrahim Mousavi (chief of staff), Ali Larijani (national security council secretary), Esmail Khatib (intelligence minister), Gholamreza Soleimani (Basij commander), and Ali Mohammad Naini (IRGC spokesperson), along with additional IRGC figures cited in field reporting.
