A database search of 12 million books published in the 300 years before 9/11 reveals only one instance of the phrase “Islam is a religion of peace.” It appears in fiction and is spoken by Ayatollah Mahmoud Haji Daryaei, an Iranian leader in Tom Clancy’s thriller Executive Orders.

Peloni:  Yair Pinto provides a good review of where things stand on multiple fronts.

Peloni:  The taxing authority is used to help focus public expenditures towards a successful desired outcome.  While it might be seen to be debatable as to whether this is an appropriate use of this authority, it is inexplicable that increasing support for terrorism should be counted as normative or even tolerable goal of any govt, much less one such as the US which has had thousands killed as a consequence of terrorist activities over the years, and the innocents who are to be counted as victims of terror continue to increase, most recently with the execution of Hersh Goldberg-Polin.  

One part of the Treasury Department sanctions a terror front group while another helps fund it.

Samidoun, a group that the United States Treasury described as a “sham charity” that serves as a fundraiser for terrorists, had some thoughts on the recent D.C. leftist terrorist attack.

Peloni:  The West is building its own demise thru policies of ignorance and miscalculations, and arguably nowhere is this more clear than with its efforts to support Erdogan’s fantasies of a neo Ottoman empire.

After meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara, Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky announced that the Turkish president considers Crimea “Ukrainian.” Western media were touched by the “firm position” of the Turkish leader and his support for the “collective democratic West” in opposing the Russian invasion.

Beginning immediately, Stargate will be building the physical and virtual infrastructure to power the next generation of advancements in AI, and this will include the construction of colossal data centers. President Donald Trump

The first of them (the AI buildings) are under construction in Texas. Each building is a half a million square feet. There are 10 buildings currently being built, but that will expand to 20 and other locations beyond the Abilene location, which is our first location.  Larry Ellison

Janet Levy: Trump is moving with breakneck speed to achieve central control.

He is implementing Real ID and creating an all digital financial system that cancels cash and paper tax returns. The Genius Act implements Stable Coin through the owners of the Federal Reserve, NOT Congress.

The purpose of DOGE was NOT to cut the federal budget as was the pitch. DOGE built a centralized AI-accessible data grid by pulling data from the Treasury, the IRS, Social Security and Health and Human Services. This is a centralized grid to make government databases “talk to each other” – the foundation for the social credit system.

Harvard University has shown appropriate sensitivity to the African American community by agreeing to relinquish seven photographs of half-naked Black slaves, which a professor commissioned in 1850 because he believed their physique proved they were racially inferior.

Peloni:  In his opening segment, Mark discusses the recent ruling by the US Court of International Trade which ruled against Trump’s use of emergency powers to address the economic crisis in the US.  Mark explains that the core of the ruling is based upon the concept and practice of separations of power, and even the court itself addresses this fact.  The problem with acknowledging this fact, however, is that Congress is not only not supporting the complaint in the case, but that there is no material Congressional objection to Trump exercising the emergency powers.  Mark also raises the point that Congress has not even attempted to draw back the powers delegated to the president in a bill which was signed into law back in 1977, further demonstrating that Congress has no objections to Trump’s actions on this topic.  While stating that the case is a dispute between executive and legislative powers, the Trade Court ignores the fact that there is no dispute between the executive and legislative branches, as the case in question is exclusively based on private complaints, which begs the question from where does the court draw its authority to intercede in a the president exercising the authority empowered to the presidency by the legislature some 50yrs ago.

The war in Gaza and the “sinat chinam” in Israel itself, when the elite openly turned against its own people, made me remember an interview I conducted almost 20 years ago, in the now distant year of 2007. My interlocutor was the historian Asher Eder from Jerusalem. He was not a so famous, he was not invited to prestigious world conferences, forums, TV studios; he had no titles or positions. But I think he could give them all a head start in erudition.

• Geopolitics

The lodestar of President Donald J. Trump’s foreign policy, “America First,” is reminiscent of the concept of raison d’état —the national interests—originated by Cardinal Richelieu, which prioritizes practicality and national interests and has been the basis of international relations for the last three centuries. No president since Theodore Roosevelt has so comprehensively defined America’s position in global affairs through the lens of national interests as Donald Trump.

Linda Goudsmit:  President Donald J. Trump is a brilliant businessman who understands that economic wars are won and lost without bullets. The problem is that our America 1st president assumes that ideological wars can be won and lost with economics––it is a fatal mistake. President Trump is making the same mistake in his trade deals in the Middle East with Muslim nations, that Nixon/Kissinger made in opening trade with Communist China in 1971. Americanism is associated with the colors red, white, and blue. Communism is associated with the color red, and Islam with the color green. The red/green ideologies are existential enemies of the red, white, and blue. Any short term red/green trade deals are just pauses in the ideological wars against the red, white, and blue. Why is this true? Because the red and green ideologies are long-term, binary, socio-political, supremacist, expansionist world views that fully intend to rule the entire planet. What about the western globalist elite? The western globalist elite are the most dangerous existential enemies of Americanism and our constitutional republic. Globalism is the third binary socio-political ideology of rulers and ruled that seeks the destruction of all nation-states, and our constitutional republic in particular. Americanism, with its upward mobility and middle class, is the exception to the binary red/green and globalist totalitarian political ideologies. President Donald Trump and MAGA republicans are committed to the preservation and protection of Americanism and freedom in our constitutional republic––they courageously stand against servitude in the globalist Unistate, the Communist Unistate, or the Islamic Unistate.

Iran does not want “peace.” Iran wants victory. Why don’t we? The only “peace” Iran is interested in is one strictly on its terms. With nuclear weapons, there will be “peace,” all right — the Iranian regime’s survival, power and domination — that kind of peace.

• Iran knows exactly what it is doing. It is playing a game it has mastered for decades: stall, confuse, buy time, bring in the well-intentioned but toothless International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). All the regime needs to win the negotiations is to entrench enforceability and retain the ability to work in secret down the pike.

Peloni:  Unconditional surrender should be the only terms offered to the evil scourge which conducted the October 7 slaughter.  This was the limit of US tolerance shown to the Nazis and it should be the limit of tolerance shown Hamas.  It is an American concept, based on the understanding that the forces we are facing are altogether evil, and their complete eradication is entirely necessary for any possible peace to result from this war.  The only thing which should be negotiated is on what day Hamas will capitulate, void of any terms or reprieve.

The goal for Hamas has never been a two-state solution or co-existence. Its charter, still unchanged, calls for the annihilation of Israel.

Imagine what would have happened if Japan hadn’t agreed to surrender in 1945. Or if Germany had remained undefeated after World War II. Even after their regimes had dragged their countries into catastrophic wars—wars they started—what if the world had simply stopped fighting and walked away?
