Peloni:  Sometimes war is not the only way forward, but on occasion, war will be the only way way forward.  Being able to distinguish between these two sets of circumstances is the true test of leadership.  Regime change in Tehran is necessary for both Israel and the US.  Should Trump fail to recognize  and act on this fact, it will continue to endanger both these great nations.

After the success Donald Trump enjoyed negotiating the Abraham Accords towards the end of his first term in office, which saw a number of leading Arab states normalise relations with Israel, it is widely expected that his new administration will want to pursue a similar policy of ending hostilities in the Middle East.

• The October 7, 2023 attacks carried out against Israel by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists…. was the direct result of Tehran’s ability to fund the terrorist movement to the tune of $100 million a year, an operation that would not have been possible without Biden’s lenient attitude towards the ayatollahs.

In recent years, Iran steadily built up Hezbollah’s arsenal in Lebanon and Syria by shipping weapons, flying them in, and transporting them by truck. Weapons consignments arrived at ports and airports and were stored at warehouses in both countries before being distributed to Hezbollah units. Israel has sought to disrupt the flow of weapons, chiefly by bombing raids on targets in Syria (including the port of Latakia and the airport in Damascus). Since Hezbollah joined Hamas and opened a second front against Israel on October 8, 2023, Israel has hit targets in Lebanon as well. But Israel’s efforts to degrade and destroy Hezbollah’s arsenal and disrupt Iran’s efforts to resupply it have dramatically increased in tempo since September 28, the day after Israel eliminated Hezbollah’s late leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

Peloni:  This is a fascinating read!

If Muslim holy days are repeatedly violated, the jihad army draws down onto itself the humiliating reputation of being unable to defend the sanctity of the holy days, or to punish those who violate such sanctity.

ANJULI PANDAVAR | Nov 15, 2024

Editorial note: Having been a Muslim for the early part of my life, I now do all I can to help save Jews from the Holocaust the Muslims have in store for them. Most maddening about these efforts has been the absolute refusal, not to say inability, of almost every Jew I’ve spoken to, to even consider what I’m saying. Their responses never reference reality, but always their own moral precepts or self-referential opinions. I have even encountered abuse from Jews.

This is what Trump will do with #UAE

Trump’s goal will be to curb the UAE’s meddling in the areas it has been involved in. He will remind President #Mohammed_Bin_Zayed of his modest position in the region and hold the UAE and others accountable for any violations committed in the past four years.

Peloni:  The Old Conception required significant policies to be based on fantasy rather than reality.  The “deal” being pushed on Israel requires a resurgence of this Old Conception foundation, and for Israel to accept doing so would be the greatest of follies.  Reject the deal.

This clown show is precisely the “deal” that Team Obama is pushing on Israel: File a complaint, we’ll relay it to UNIFIL and the LAF.

Israel should reject the very dumb idea of a “deal.” https://t.co/jwSVk11rtY

Residents of Beirut reported three days of heavy and increasing airstrikes in the city. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) put out statements in Arabic calling on civilians to leave numerous areas in southern Beirut, including in the neighborhoods of Ghobeiry and Dahieh. The IDF also said in a briefing on November 14 that it estimates 2,250 Hezbollah operatives have been eliminated in fighting in southern Lebanon since October 1. Other Hezbollah members have been killed in Beirut and other localities in Lebanon, although the IDF did not provide an estimate of how many were killed outside of southern Lebanon.

Peloni:  It is hard to serve two masters, particularly when they have opposing agendas.   Of course, while it is true that only Nixon could go to China, how likely is it that Rubio as Secretary of State will dismantle the IRI’s role in internet censorship when the IRI is in fact celebrating Rubio’s appointment to become Secretary of State.

Marco Rubio – Between A Blob And A Hard Place.

Here is the longer context segment from this week's sub stream, in which I sketched out challenges Rubio may have rooting out State's censorship network, if he feels torn between two allegiances: the White House vs the IRI network. https://t.co/iMLv7GaGAU pic.twitter.com/K8MxU1WIZC

As his Cabinet nominations have shown, President-elect Donald Trump plans a revolutionary assault on the sinister and unconstitutional deep state.Thus, when Trump supporters react to one particular nomination with tepid enthusiasm or even outright disappointment — as many did when a report surfaced earlier this week that Trump would pick Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida as secretary of state — it makes sense not only to consider the totality of Trump’s appointments but also the particular admirable qualities Rubio will bring to the job.For instance, shortly after that report surfaced, a 36-second clip of Rubio demonstrating those qualities while being accosted by a pro-Palestinian woman began circulating on the social media platform X.

“Senator Rubio, will you call for a ceasefire in Gaza?” the woman asked.

“No, I will not. On the contrary,” the senator replied.

Peloni:  Mike and Gadi cover three important topics here.  The first half of the video covers the ongoing war between Netanyahu and the latest Lawfare attempt to unseat him.  in the third quarter of the interview, they discuss the afformation of Trump’s support for Israel as is apparent in Trump’s announced appointees.  Over the last quarter of the video, they discuss the fruitless ongoing ceasefire negotiations with Hezbollah.

Peloni:  Trump’s return to the White House signals a shift in America back towards the values and needs and wants of regular Americans and away from that of the Globalist, Wokish American elites.

Meanwhile, the losing Democrats have turned the rifles on each other, seeking blame, but ignoring the larger reasons and implications of their decisive defeat.

Perhaps it is inevitable that the winners take their victory lap and losers stare at the ground wondering what went wrong. But this time seems different. The winning Republicans are not only not gloating, but rather are trying to see something more deep-seated, structural and transformational in their victory.
