‘It’s Time For Ukraine To Get A New President’: Trump Signals End Of Patience With Zelenskyy As War Stretches On  

UPDATE: From Trump TruthSocial:  Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

PELONI:  As I have noted many times since the Ukraine war began, Zelensky will never make a deal, and if he tried to do so, the regime which he heads would eliminate him for doing so.  It is a sad and precarious situation, but it is far from surprising. While it is reasonable that Trump is returning to the topic of someone replacing Zelensky due to the economic implications of Zelensky driving US diesel energy costs thru the roof, Trump should have pressed Zelensky to hold elections as his 5year term ended over two years ago, and it seemed to go without remark earlier this that Zelensky’s 5 year term has now stretched past being over 7yrs.  Reasonable people may disagree, but I suspect that should an election be held in Ukraine, the people would vote to choose a peace candidate as president, just like they did in 2014 and just like they did in 2019.  The unfortunate question which remains, however, is once a new peace candidate might be elected, how long would it take before they were converted to be the next peace candidate which moved to back war instead of peace as was true in 2014 and in 2019…

President Donald Trump on Saturday expressed his frustration with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s inability to make a deal with Russia.

“Well, I agree with you, and you know what I suggest? I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal. Because he [Zelenskyy] could have made many deals that for some reason he never does,” Trump told reporters in response to recent Russian drone attacks Ukraine has weathered.

US pressed Israel to strike Iran alone, but IDF Chief blocked move  

PELONI:  While the election considerations of these two world leaders diverge over the fate of Iran, what has not changed is the interest in seeing regime change in Iran.  Regardless of what direction events might take in the coming days or weeks, even if no change is actually the course chosen, nothing less significant than the future of the Middle East and likely the free world will be decided.  This Iranian regime will never give up its ambitions of conquering the West as this is the raison d’etre for the entire existence of the regime, which means if the West remains oblivious to the making of their own destruction, the future will be very very dark indeed.  So will Netanyahu take this opportunity to save the free world from its own folly… as someone who has consistently characterized his efforts in the ongoing struggle with the Mullahs as being an echo of Churchill’s struggle with the Nazis, this might well be the moment which determines the final outcome of that struggle.

The Americans believed an attack before the Israeli elections could benefit Netanyahu, while renewed US strikes before the midterms could hurt Trump.

The United States pressed Israel to carry out an independent strike against Iran during talks over the past two weeks, seeking to avoid the political risk of renewed US military action ahead of the midterm elections, Maariv reported Saturday.

Islamic regime attacks against Kurdish forces affect both Kurds in Iran, Iraq as tensions rise  

More than 1,000 drones have been fired against Kurdish forces in Iraq, while Kurds in both Iran and Iraq fear that the strikes will reach their homes.

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN | Oct 10, 2026

Iran is increasing its rhetoric against Kurdish Iranian dissident groups based in the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq.

It also carried out a recent drone attack against the groups, one of more than 1,000 attacks carried out since February. US forces recently left Iraq, and this could leave the Kurdistan Region vulnerable to more Iranian attacks.This has many implications. Two articles at Rudaw, a Kurdish media network based in Erbil, indicate the growing concerns.The Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI) has rejected accusations by Iran’s consul general in Erbil that Iranian Kurdish opposition groups are cooperating with foreign powers.The dispute comes amid continued Iranian drone and missile attacks on the Kurdistan Region of northern Iraq, where residents living near Iranian Kurdish opposition bases fear more strikes.

France’s Violent Muslim Riots Spread to Belgium  

PELONI:  Look for this campaign of Islamist violence to sweep over Europe as the campaign of Jew Hatred swept over the world.  This is the purpose of the quiet Jihad, and as the Jew is ever the canary in the coal mine, it seems the West remains oblivious to the purpose to which the manufactured Jew Hatred over the past three years was actually directed.  The West is under a state of siege, even if they prefer to remain oblivious to it.  Remember the words of Pres. Trump in Butler PA when his life was under threat:  Fight, Fight, Fight… If you value your liberties and security, the people of Europe must resist their subjugation by the Islamists with all their might… and as Pamela Geller explains below, America is next.

The Slogan War: Israel and Jews must win it  

Dr. Michael Wise | October 9, 2026

Click Image to Enlarge. Image created via AI.

Israel and the Jewish community are currently losing the slogan war, not because the facts are against them, but because they have been slow to recognize that the battlefield is perception, not evidence. At university protests, on social media, and in mainstream political discourse, SLOGANS that would not survive five minutes of honest scrutiny are repeated by millions who have never examined them.

Reassessing the Iran-Russia and Iran-China Relationship  

PELONI:  Rabbi Pesach Wolicki provides a close look at the current state of affairs between Iran and its closest allies, Russia and China in two important videos.  As a backdrop to his analysis, recall Alexander Gringberg’s insightful analysis from two years ago on this subject where he noted that Iran, Russia and China promote each of their national interests, and to the degree to which these overlap, they will pursue these joint interests, but that no one should be confused to believe that either Russi or China or Iran would risk their own national interests or security to aid the others.  They are partners, not allies.  To this point, the relationships have not changed, only the circumstances in which the overlapping interests extend.

The Veto of the Useful Idiot: Civilizational Amnesia and the Architecture of Modern Illiteracy  

PELONI:  Follow Harry Liberman as he examines the consequences of Leftist political ideology colliding with the conflicting dichotomy of economic reality and historical truth.  In doing so, he exposes how the modern radicalized Left is undermining the very institutions and freedoms under which it operates and which it claims to defend, while also demonstrating the need for a return to pragmatic realism so as to prevent its self-inflicted undoing.

The Useful Idiots of the New Left: How Populist Realism Is Saving Progressivism From Its Own Dialectical Suicide

Harry Liberman

The modern progressive movement is locked in a state of advanced philosophical auto-immunity, paralyzed by an ideological framework so detached from material reality that it actively orchestrates its own destruction. Across energy markets, historical precedents, and civic infrastructure, the contemporary left operates not on coherent structural analysis, but on a reactive emotionalism that systematically conflicts with its stated goals.

Demise of Support for Two State Solutions, & What Should Replace It…  

Peloni

Click Image to Enlarge. Image created via AI.

A dramatic decline in support for a two-state solution over the past 14 years was reported in a recent Gallup survey, and this was true among both Israelis and Arabs living under the Palestinian Authority. Majorities on both sides now oppose the establishment of a second Palestinian state (recall that Jordan was the first state created for the Palestinian Muslims) in the heartland of Israel.

Susan Sarandon & Hollywood: Being Anti-Israel is Only Part of the Story  

Was she banned? Or rejected?

by

Susan Sarandon’s recent complaints about being banned by major Hollywood studios for her anti-Israel views just aren’t honest. There’s a distinction between political suppression and her story. Following her controversial remarks at a November 2023 rally—where she stated that Jewish Americans fearing rising antisemitism were “getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country”—Sarandon was formally dropped by United Talent Agency (UTA) and may have found herself excluded from some major studio projects. While she has since framed this fallout as some type of modern-day McCarthyism, the actual facts of the entertainment industry prove that Hollywood is not censoring dissent. Her situation is more about establishing necessary moral boundaries, her personal career choices, and the right of individuals to decide that they do not want to work with someone whose behavior they find abhorrent and dangerous.
