Saying ‘Don’t!’ Isn’t Deterrence, but It’s All Kamala Harris Knows  

Peloni:  The overlordship to which the Harris administration has subjected Israel throughout this war must come to an end.  If Kamala’s collectivist cabal is incapable of leading the world against the Iranian menace, Israel will have to act alone, as if its very survival is dependent upon their achieving a devastating and absolute victory over the Mullas, because in fact it does.   There can be no pandering to American demands to halt, nor inclusive of American ambitions of preserving the Iranian menace.  October 7 demonstrated the folly of failing to recognize and act on these realities.

Four more years of phobia about escalation would make the world a more dangerous place.

By Shay Khatiri | WSJ |

Vice President Kamala Harris meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, July 25.

When it comes to war, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris couldn’t be more self-contradictory. They talk about their unwavering commitments to the defense of Israel and Ukraine, but they hedge by trying to restrain Israelis and Ukrainians.

After the Israel Defense Forces killed Hezbollah honcho Hassan Nasrallah, Ms. Harris issued a three-paragraph statement. She expressed support for Israel and condemned Nasrallah. The beginning of the last paragraph was the most predictable: “President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war.”

Frank Luntz Says Harris’ CNN Town Hall Answer ‘Illustrates Exactly Why’ She’s ‘In Trouble’  

Peloni:  An example of Kamala’s word salad HERE.  And then there was her refusal to discuss her own policies which Kamala explained HERE.  Ignorance of policy is not a political asset, which is why even CNN seemed to voice Kamala’s failure to seal the deal as it were HERE.

Jason Cohen | Daily Caller | October 24, 2024

Pollster Frank Luntz said Thursday that one of Vice President Kamala Harris’ responses during her Wednesday CNN town hall perfectly exemplifies why her campaign is struggling.

When asked by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper whether she supports building a border wall, Harris quickly shifted to attacking former President Donald Trump instead of giving a direct answer. Luntz, on “Squawk Box,” criticized Harris’ pivot to Trump, arguing she should have stated her support for wall funding if elected in November.

Kamala’s Jewish outreach is bizarre and offensive  

By Andrea Widburg | Am Thinker | October 23, 2024

For the first time since Ronald Reagan (who was seen as the antidote to the obviously antisemitic Jimmy Carter), Jewish voters are abandoning the Democrat party. Kamala’s campaign knows this, so it created a new shtick: “Kamala Shabbat” dinners. Observant Jews have noticed, though, that these dinners offended actual Judaism in every way, from a bizarre ceremony unrelated to the ordinary Sabbath service to focusing on Kamala to the exclusion of God.

Just as blacks and Hispanics are abandoning Kamala, Jews are, too:

Vice President Kamala Harris is slated to have the worst performance with Jewish voters of any Democratic presidential candidate since the Reagan era, according to a Manhattan Institute poll published Friday.

West’s Political Elites Mourn the Death of a Terrorist Group  

by Robert Williams  •  Gatestone Institute • October 22, 2024 at 5:00 am

The world’s political elites apparently cannot forgive Israel for seeking to defend itself, and rid the world of terrorists working to destroy both America and Western civilization. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has lamented Israel’s continued successful attempts at destroying one of Iran’s proxy armies. When Israel took out Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, one of the world’s most dangerous arch-terrorists, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres could barely hold back his disappointment. Pictured: Borrell (L) and Guterres at the UN headquarters in New York, September 18, 2022. (Photo by Craig Ruttle/Pool/Getty Images)

  • [T]he West’s political “elites” condemned Israel for defending itself by targeting Hezbollah’s leadership.
  • There was no mention of international law for Hezbollah’s unprovoked, year-long attacks: bombardments of missiles and attack drones every day at a country smaller than New Jersey.

Israel Is Hurting Hezbollah But It Can’t Rely on Lebanon to Finish the Job  

Peloni:  The Lebanese have no interest in achieving their own emancipation from Hezbollah.  They will wait for Israel or some other nation to do this for them, but they will not do so themselves.

The Iranian-backed group has deep popular roots, and its degradation or elimination will have to rest equally on military defeat coupled with political and social pressure

David Daoud & Ahmad Sharawi | October 22, 2024

The Third Lebanon War has begun, and Israel has already landed impressive blows against Hezbollah. But victory has yet to be achieved and remains far from certain.

The group has deep popular roots, and its degradation or elimination will have to rest equally on military defeat coupled with political and social pressure to finish the job. Israel is handling the military prong – it possesses the capabilities and means, the numbers and organization and, most importantly, the will to finish its part of the task. Israeli popular support for degrading Hezbollah, no matter the price, has never been higher. Israel is therefore certain to severely weaken the group if it continues fighting at this level of tenacity.

Kamala Harris is crumbling despite deep pockets and media bias  

Peloni:  Kamala is a presidential candidate that never won a single primary, and whose candidacy didn’t garner a single vote.  She didn’t earn her position as the Democratic Presidential nominee any more than she earned it to be the VP, as she was one of the first contenders in 2020 to drop out of the race, not having one a single primary in that election either.  The consequence of her candidacy-by-appointment is that she is completely inarticulate and incapable of actually discussing her own policies even with light touch interviews.  Her latest interviews with Fox News and now a CNN Town Hall have only highlighted incapacity to answer questions, earning the description of “word salad” responses by critics on both the Left and Right. It is as if both she and her campaign were just going thru the motions, knowing that the election had already been won…

A DISTURBING STUDY MAKES IT CLEAR EUROPE CANNOT BE DEFENDED TODAY  

Peloni:  US foreign policy has been on the wrong foot for the past more than 20yrs, and the eventuality of a world power lacking the means to defend itself or its allies is the sad consequence of such military misadventures as Iraq, Libya and Serbia…and of course Ukraine.  Indeed, instead of making Russia an ally, the US placed the world on a path of war, even as the US knowingly lacked the means to quench the many fires which were anticipated to arise as a result of this war policy.  While impossibly expensive war systems have been made in small quantities in the West, the Russians have pursued a policy of thrift, producing far less expensive hardware at scale.  The result of this insanity is that as the Russians have now been placed on the defensive, with their home territory invaded by a grifting US proxy in Ukraine, all of NATO now sits on the precipice of reality in which each NATO member state is anxiously awaiting to see if Russia might act with more or less civility towards them than they, the democratic powers of the world, acted towards Russia.  In fact, Putin is not isolated from his people in recognizing the war hungry strategy which dominated the West since the Russians de-Sovietized themselves, as the Russian people are well aware of the Russian animus which has fed the bipartisan pro-war parties all across NATO.  This insanity will either end with the adoption of a pan-European security apparatus which includes Russia, or it will end very badly for all sides.  And all the while, China is benefiting from every day and every dollar spent in the West to push and keep Russia within the Chinese sphere of influence.  Such utter folly.

Stephen Bryen | Weapons & Strategy |Oct 23, 2024

Caracal Air Assault Vehicle

The German Kiel Institute has published a disturbing, but accurate report on German and European defense.  The report suggests that the overall picture for Germany, Europe and the United States, is grim. The bottom line is that despite all the NATO war talk, NATO (including the United States) is not ready for any conflict with Russia. It also suggests that the pricing of defense equipment is making defense companies rich, but not helping the overall cause of security.

Ben Gvir sparks controversy, proposes “voluntary emigration” for Gazans  

Peloni:  The Free World is forcing the Gazans to remain in Gaza, even against the will of the Gazans themselves.  Facilitated emigration is a humane, reasonable, and equitable approach to removing the Gazans with their psychopathic Jew-Hatred to some other land in which they would not have the opportunities to act on that psychopathy as they have while living in arms reach of the Jews of Israel.  Indeed, the international community, having funded and organized the toxic Jew Hatred within the Pals thru UNWRA, they refuse to allow any consideration of  permitting the Gazans to emigrate, even to avoid them being used as human shields during war.  Of course, the only interest which the international community has with regards to the Gazans is, in fact, to see that they continue to be weaponized against the people of Israel.

Yair Lapid, leader of the opposition, condemned the conference as a sign that the “Ben Gvir” faction has taken control of the Likud party

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir ignited a firestorm of criticism during a conference focused on Jewish settlements in Gaza, held on October 21, 2024.

In his remarks, Ben Gvir suggested that if desired, Israel could renew settlement efforts in Gaza, specifically mentioning the possibility of rebuilding former communities such as Kfar Darom and Netzarim.

Biden administration ramps up pressure on Israel to scrap ‘UNRWA ban’ legislation  

Peloni:  Of course, as the US is one of the greatest funders the terrorist ridden UNWRA, it would be quite inconsistent should they not try to block this bill.  It is not a mistake that the US is funding the radicalization of the Pals by UNWRA.  It is quite simply US policy.  With the single exception of the Trump administration, the purposeful and unadulterated endoctrination of Jihadi ideology among the Pals is in fact the entire raison d’être behind the creation,  continuation, and expansion of UNWRA…which is of course why it must be banned regardless of what this or any other American administration wants.

Israeli lawmakers described a frantic diplomatic blitz by US, European officials to stop a Knesset vote next week

The Biden administration has been exerting massive pressure on Israeli lawmakers in recent days, demanding they stop the ‘UNRWA ban’ legislation planned for next week.

On Monday, Israel Hayom reported that U.S. officials, such as Ambassador Jack Lew, urged Israeli coalition and opposition party heads not to provide their support for the bills.

“WHY would anyone want to conduct a cybersecurity “exercise” on Election Day?”  

Garland Favarito tweeted the following:

“WHY would anyone want to conduct a cybersecurity “exercise” on Election Day?”

The Homeland Security community of vendors, contractors and government agencies is coming for a large critical infrastructure conference that includes a “tabletop” cybersecurity threat exercise on Election Day in Atlanta, the capitol of one of the most hotly contested battleground states in America. It is reminiscent of the NORAD federal agency conducting aero defense exercises while we were attacked on 9/11. The exercise sponsored by the Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association International (AFCEA), begs for specific answers to a variety of serious questions:

How US and Israel can forge stability through war: Strategic lessons from the Middle East  

Focusing on false timelines instead of victory plays to America’s counterproductive prescriptions for Israel, especially now that Israel is finally turning the tide of war in its favor.

By ERIC R. MANDEL | OCTOBER 20, 2024

The US and Israel are considering how today’s wars can lead to a more stable tomorrow.

One of the most detrimental decisions that American foreign policy strategists make regarding the Middle East is to begin their policy discussions by prioritizing how to exit and wind up kinetic actions before we delineate our goals and define victory.

Grift Meets Reality – Repubs Out Voted 2 1/2 To 1 in Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballots  

Peloni:  Pennsylvania was a must win for Kamala, and base upon the results of Quantum computing, it looks like she is going to win it handily, even while the Republicans are somewhere between pretending and honestly blind as to what is coming.

This was always the problem with the notion that Republicans should simply join the ballot harvesting game and out do the Democrats at their own game.  Indeed, the folly in this premise is that ballot harvesting is the Democrats’ game, and they have the expertise in this legitimized game of cheating.  When the Republican claims of potential victory finally catch up with the reality that they have lost Pennsylvania, how much campaign cash will have passed thru and to the hands of the relevant players, and regardless of every excuse which might be mustered, it appears pretty certain that Kamala will not be stopped in Pennsylvania.

Numbers do not lie. Republican grifters do. Total collapse of the numbers for GOP in Pennsylvania

Omega4America | Oct 23, 2024

The StopBogusBallots team, led by Peter Bernegger is not only tracking every BS ballot cast in Pennsylvania, it is tracking every ballot.

No good news here for the Trumpsters!

As of 10/18 at 8:00 AM, the Democrats had 1,017,055 ballots approved to be mailed out.

The Republicans – 502,805

ROOKE: Political Earthquake Set To Rock Harris Campaign.  

Peloni:  Will the Dems lose the Blue Wall again?  Well, it looks like they will hold Pennsylvania pretty handily.

There’s No Time Left To Stop It

Mary Rooke  | Daily Caller |

Democrats are waking up to the nightmare that the 2024 election is not trending well for Vice President Kamala Harris.

While there are different avenues for both presidential candidates to win enough Electoral College votes to take the White House, Harris must win the three states that make up the “blue wall:” Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. These states, also known as the “Rust Belt,” flipped to Trump in 2016 but went blue in 2020 with President Joe Biden and are still Harris’ best chance of winning in 2024.

Why don’t they want Israel to win?  

This isn’t the first time that the United States has tried to stop the success of the Israel Defense Forces. It happened in 1973, too.

Right on cue, as soon as Israel began striking at Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon, the Biden administration and the government of France rushed to demand a “ceasefire.”

And where did those demands for a ceasefire lead? Hezbollah became emboldened. This past Shabbat during the Sukkot holiday, Hezbollah succeeded in using a drone to attack the Caesarea private residence of the Netanyahu family. The attack cracked glass in a bedroom window.
