Houthi rebels clarify that ceasefire with US does not include Israel, will continue to act in support of Gaza  

Peloni:  Freedom of the seas for all but Israel?  Trump said the Houthis had “capitulated”, but this doesn’t this sound like capitulation.  The Houthis are in fact taking a victory dance as they explain that it has been the US rather than they who have conceded.

The Houthi rebel group was quick to note that the ceasefire deal between it and the United States does not include Israel.

Israel Plans Shift from US Aid to Strategic Investment Partnership  

Peloni:  Such a change in policy is long overdue.  Sovereignty, respect, and innovation have each been sacrificed on the alter of US investment in Israel, mislabeled as ‘aid’.  While this investment has had a force multiplying benefit for the US, the investment has been weaponized against Israel on many levels and at many key moments over the years.

New initiative aims to replace traditional military aid with joint innovation, equal footing, and long-term independence.

Israfan | May 7, 2025

In a bold move to redefine its relationship with the United States, Israel is preparing to phase out traditional foreign aid and instead embrace a new strategic model centered around joint investments and innovation. The effort, spearheaded by Likud MK Amit Halevi, seeks to move Israel from dependency to partnership replacing aid with mutual benefit and sovereign control.

Bring them home, but not at any cost  

Peloni:  Honickman addresses the matter of the crisis surrounding the hostage crisis in the most accurate fashion possible.  The simple reality is that while the tragedy surrounding the hostages can never be ignored, it can not be allowed to dictate national strategy.  The attempt to manipulate Israeli strategy based around the fate of these victims was in fact the very reason why they were taken in the first place, and thus far, this fact has hobbled Israel’s response to the October 7 slaughter and the months long missile attacks from Gaza.  While including the return of the hostages as one of the war aims was inevitable, it nevertheless should never have been made the primary war aim.  It is time to end the war, not thru negotiations, and not in surrender, but in an overwhelming effort to effect a final victory over Hamas.

The hostage dilemma we can’t keep avoiding. We are doing everything we can to bring  them home — and we must continue to do so. But we cannot destroy Israel in the name of saving it. Opinion.

So Let Me Get This Straight…  

by Gerald A. Honigman 

A friend and fellow author sent me, unfortunately, some current disturbing news that I had a bad feeling earlier was going to happen.

So let me get this straight as I’m seeing this unfold:

Houthis give Western and other shipping nations guarantees of no attack, but it continues to remain ok to blast Israel.

The Ayatollah Regime – a Clear and Present Threat to the US  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” | May 7, 2025

Is the Ayatollah regime a threat to the US?

*It has been claimed that Iran’s Ayatollah regime does not pose a threat to the US, nor would a nuclear Iran. Moreover, it has been suggested that just like a nuclear India, Pakistan and North Korea, a nuclear Iran may be a regional threat (e.g., North Korea), but not a global threat to the US.

*However, unlike India, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia and China, a nuclear Ayatollah regime would be the first ever apocalyptically megalomaniacal regime.

PART 3: IS TRUMP FOR REAL? Does Trump want an Iranian nuclear bomb dropped on Israel?  

Peloni:  So is Prof. Gil-White’s conclusion correct?  Are we being deceived by Trump commitment to deal with the Iranian menace?  Or is he the real deal?  And if the latter is true, how do we square the facts raised by Gil-White with reality?

Francisco Gil-White | An MOR series |May 06, 2025

Is Trump for real?

In other words, is Donald Trump, as his supporters claim, a politically honest revolutionary who fights the entrenched Establishment and—most importantly—the Deep State?

DEAL, WAR, OR SOMETHING ELSE? Michael Doran on Trump’s Iran Strategy | Tikvah Podcast  

Peloni:  A fascinating interview with Mike Doran in which he explains the historical basis for Israel being viewed by the US as both an asset and liability, as well as how that relates to Trump’s policy following along the lines of Obama, to a point.  He also explains that Netanyahu has to walk a fine line with Trump in such a way as to support those voices in Trumps cabinet who would call for striking Iran over those voices who would hold him to the Obama-like measured approach.  Much more as well.

MAHA BOMBSHELL: Trump Pauses Deadly Gain-Of-Function Research  

2nd Smartest Guy in the World | May 06, 2025

President Trump signed an executive order yesterday that freezes Federal funding for dangerous gain-of-function (GOF) virus “research” overseas in countries like China and Iran, while placing a moratorium on these kinds of bioweapon projects here in the United States.

It is critical to appreciate that President Obama exported this deadly GOF “research” to China, and Fauci along with his Intelligence-Industrial Complex handlers (who owned many of the “vaccine” patents years before their scamdemic) leveraged this illicit CCP partnership in order to deliberately release the COVID-19 virus along with the very same GOF technology contained in the associated and far deadlier slow kill bioweapon “vaccines.”

Here is Trump during yesterday’s signing of his executive order:
