Will America stand a chance to defeat Islam? A short answer is, it all depends! Thus far, sounding the alarm for decades about the ever-increasing menace Islam poses to America has not worked. Honestly, I don’t know what will work! Apathy, political correctness, and massive Islamic lobbying have successfully prevented the public from truly grasping the all-pervasive, invasive Islamic assault.

As usual, the sworn enemies of the United States, leftist politicians – hungry for votes – who despise America and hate our Constitution, delightfully embraced and brought this ‘Trojan Horse’ army inside our gates. It was a perfect marriage. Both sides needed one another to survive.

These desert dwellers and the Quran trained people with the help of our leftist politicians took advantage of the provisions of the most benign system known to humanity, our representative republic, to destroy it from within. Read more…

Despite the terrible errors of Israel’s leaders, Jewish destiny continually has thwarted each and every effort to cede any part of Judea and Samaria.

By Rabbi Prof. Dov Fischer, INN

Back in the 1980s, I used to have a guy in my shul in Woodland Hills who was our point guy for Hagbah (raising the open Torah scroll after the reading).  We used him particularly during the early weeks of Breishit (when the scroll was top-heavy on the Deuteronomy side) and the final weeks of D’varim (when top-heavy on the Genesis side). When I would ask him, “Harry, it’s quite heavy this week — are you OK with it today?” he always would respond: “Don’t worry, Rabbi. This Torah ain’t goin’ anywhere I don’t want it to go.”

Perhaps the singularly dispositive outcome of Israel’s elections is that the nearly 800,000 Jews living in Judea and Samaria ain’t goin’ anywhere they don’t want to go. A review of comparatively recent Israel history points the way to Israel’s destiny. For decades, The dominant Israeli Left put its faith in the Ben-Gurions and Rabins, and the secular right (and too many Religious Zionists) put their unbridled faith in the Menachem Begins and Ariel Sharons.  But Jewish destiny never was in any of their hands.  At most, they advanced some aspects of that destiny by serving it dutifully or by simply staying out of the way.  On occasion, they interfered with the inevitable course of Israel’s destiny to reunite the Jewish heartland, Judea and Samaria, with its original November 1947 nine-mile wide shell.

The Jewish position on abortion is nuanced, neither condoning it nor categorically prohibiting it.

BY MJL

Abortion is one of the most contentious issues in American politics, and since the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion nationwide, the issue has been a top concern by activists on both sides in assessing both Supreme Court nominees and political candidates. The anti-abortion cause has been embraced by many religious Christian groups, including the Catholic church.

Most American Jews strongly support legalized abortion: A 2015 Pew Research Forum survey found that 83 percent of American Jews, more than any other religious group, say abortion “should be legal in all/most cases.” However, Judaism’s position on abortion is nuanced, and both principal camps in the American debate over abortion rights can claim support from Jewish texts.

Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller, resigns

Attorney General Bill Barr, former Attorney General “Stealth Jeff” Sessions and Rosenstein aren’t hiding any more how bigly“Sneaky Rod” played coup plotters.

“One Time #Resistance Hero Rod Rosenstein Was Trump’s Leak-Hunter-In-Chief,” headlined the Daily Beast in this story Monday (5/13).

Rosenstein’s resignation letter April 29 should have been a clue he’s been on Team Trump all along. It was “remarkable,” said the Washington Post. “Strange,” said the New Yorker.

“The band is back together again,” Attorney General Barr said, referring to himself, Sessions, Rosenstein… and Bob Mueller.

The former head of Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Trevor Phillips, has admitted he “got almost everything wrong” on Muslim immigration in a damning new report on integration, segregation, and how the followers of Islam are creating “nations within nations” in the West.

Phillips, a former elected member of the Labour Party who served as the Chairman of the EHRC from 2003-2012 will present “What British Muslims Really Think” on Channel 4 on Wednesday. An ICM poll released to the Times ahead of the broadcast reveals:

POSTING NOTE. This is a very accurate account of one of the many critical decision points in  Israel’s continuing struggle for survival: the decision to destroy the Iranian financed, North Korea designed nuclear installation in Syria just prior to its going active.

 Had Israel not acted promptly and effectively, Syria, Iran and many other enemies of Israel would have  obtained access to nuclear capability.  After the attack became public knowledge, with Syria to save face keeping very quiet, Israel was condemned by  many elements in the European Union and widely in Islamic countries for  “Israel’s “reckless offensive action –which might  have caused a war.”

It should be noted that the US  CIA maintained up to the end that the installation was not  a nuclear facility, but rather an agricultural research Center. [And that it took soil samples gathered at the scene by Israel  in a daring commando operation which were then  presented  directly to the White House to convince the US government that the Israeli intelligence was indeed accurate. Even then, the United States refused to participate in and/or even condone an operation to eliminate this  threat to the existence of Israel.]

T. Belman. Of course count them out. They signed on to the stupid lopsided Iran deal and were anxious to trade with Iran. Furthermore they want to cut Israel down to size and see Iran and her proxies as the ones to do it. Finally, anyone who invites millions of Muslim immigrants into their countries cant be worried about the Mullahs. Since Trump has been beating up on the European Globalist countries, the Europeans want Iran to give the US problems.

Punitive sanctions are making life in Tehran hard.Arash Khamooshi for The New York Times

BRUSSELS — With strong memories of the last catastrophic war in Iraq, Europeans are united in opposing what many consider the United States’ effort to provoke Iran into a shooting war. Yet, despite the strains in trans-Atlantic relations in the Trump years, flat-out opposition to Washington remains an uncomfortable place for European nations.

Initially, not even pro-American Britain would go along with the Trump administration, with officials defending a senior British general in the coalition fighting the Islamic State who said that there was no enhanced threat from Iran in Iraq and Syria.

Popular blog hosting platform WordPress.com has begun a censorship spree, blacklisting at least two blogs dedicated to monitoring the spread of radical Islam.

BREITBART

The blog Creeping Sharia, which documented what it describes as “the slow, deliberate, and methodical advance of Islamic law” was taken offline by WordPress earlier this week. Visitors navigating to the long-running blog are now met with the message “creepingsharia.wordpress.com is no longer available.”

“This blog has been archived or suspended in accordance with our Terms of Service,” explains the message.

On its official Twitter account, Creeping Sharia claimed that WordPress.com’s decision to suspend service followed a warning from the hosting platform that one of its posts violated Pakistani blasphemy law. Creeping Sharia says it received a similar warning from Twitter after tweeting a link to the piece.

Palestinians will reject the deal of the century if it does not meet their demands, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki warned last week. To prepare for the rejection, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been consolidating power for more than a year at the expense of his rivals. Though centralizing power may look like an effective strategy from within, it will not likely shield the Palestinian Authority from the consequences of rejecting the White House’s forthcoming peace plan.

Abbas met U.S. President Donald Trump four times between March and September 2017, while U.S. and Palestinian delegates met more than 30 times. After Trump’s decision to move the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem last year, Abbas severed political ties with the White House. Abbas then set in motion a series of moves designed to consolidate his political power and prepare his political allies to face the aftermath of dismissing the American peace proposal.

The mullahs can only be stopped by means of “the mailed fist.”

By Bruce Thornton, FPM

While the media obsess over chimeras like the president’s obstruction of justice for nonexistent crimes, and AG Barr’s impeachment for obeying the law, a collision between the U.S. and Iran is brewing in the Middle East. The question now is whether Iran will finally face the reckoning it has invited and deserved for 42 years, or the latest crisis will peter out into U.S. saber-rattling and empty threats.

Donald Trump has made a good start at ending our nearly half-century appeasement of a regime that has declared war on the U.S. and backed it up by murdering Americans and working to create nuclear weapons that would make even more difficult, or even prohibitive, the price of punishing them for their aggression.

Gaza has become the most graphic illustration of why relinquishing Judea and Samaria to the perennially hostile and extremely corrupt Palestinian Authority is a fantastically dangerous idea.

By Moshe Phillips, JNS

(May 14, 2019 / JNS) The nearly 700 rockets fired at Israel by terrorists from Gaza by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in early May were not just another round of the same mini-wars between Israel and Hamas to which the world has become accustomed to. Coming just as U.S. President Donald Trump’s “deal of the century” for Arab-Israeli peace is reportedly weeks from being launched, the rockets offer 700 vivid demonstrations of why a Palestinian state must not be created.

The international community for years badgered Israel to leave the Gaza Strip. Israelis were told that if only the occupation ended, then Gazans would embrace peace. That the presence of Israeli soldiers and Jewish communities in Gaza were the obstacles to peace. That once Israel withdrew, the Gaza Palestinians would no longer have a reason to attack Israel. And that “if even a single missile were fired into Israel from Gaza,” the Israeli army would be justified in reoccupying the area.

The Government’s Fate Is at Stake

Lieberman’s all-or-nothing terms for joining the coalition have put Netanyahu on edge

Amid the danger that lurks for us, the darkness that envelops us, the stench that’s smacking us, a rather delightful comic moment was recorded this week: Benjamin Netanyahu was caught in a lie. In interviews he gave on the eve of the election, he had denied – vehemently, contemptuously, even angrily – the brazen allegation that he was planning to push through an immunity law tailored specifically to his personal and felonious measurements. But now, alas, suddenly it’s actually taking shape before our very eyes.

While speaking in Europe last week on political Islamism, the Iran agreement, and American national security interests in the Middle East, I continually emphasized the importance of reading multiple points of view to combat today’s editorialization of the news.

To do this effectively, you must literally examine the “accepted” meaning of words used to describe Israel’s behavior in the Palestinian conflict. Far too often, benign sounding words like “human rights” have been transformed into rhetorical weapons to advance a political agenda – in academia, the media, or in Congress – whose goal is to undermine America’s relationship with Israel, and Israel’s very legitimacy as a nation-state.

When I am in meetings at US congressional offices or when I lecture, I assume everyone does not share the same understanding of “international law, occupation, war crimes, Zionism, two states and human rights,” and I take pains to clarify their meanings in context.

When last I wrote about the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) issue, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) had yet to publish its proposed rule for Mitigating Beyond Design Basis Events (MBDBE).

Since then, in a 3 to 2 vote, the NRC has gutted the rule, so as to leave our nuclear power plants vulnerable to major floods, earthquakes and the aftermath of a man-made or solar EMP.

The good news is that on March 26 President Trump issued an Executive Order titled Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulses in an effort to assess the risks of such an attack on our national electric grid and critical infrastructure, which would include our nuclear power plants.

Iran’s “Non-Nuke EMP and Swarm” anti-US Fleet attack is doomed to failure as the US deploys its weaponry.

By Mark Langfan

This is not the first time a non-nuclear EMP device has been threatened by the Middle-East against the West. In 2013 I reported that on Sept. 26, 2013, Syrian President Bashar Assad said that Syria possesses “more advanced weaponry which can serve as a detterent and blindside Israel within seconds…”

No one can describe non-nuclear conventional EMPs better than its maker the Boeing Company. On 22 October 2012, Boeing released a press release and video that explained conventional EMP weapons as follows: “A recent weapons flight test in the Utah desert may change future warfare after the missile successfully defeated electronic targets with little to no collateral damage.

Boeing and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Directed Energy Directorate, Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., successfully tested the Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) during a flight over the Utah Test and Training Range.
