Syria’s interim president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, received a warm welcome at the Antalya Diplomatic Forum in Turkey on April 11, where his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, lambasted Israel as a “terrorist state.” Together with 20 other heads of state, Sharaa also heard Erdogan’s pledge “to work toward a future in which Syria experiences years of stability, prosperity, and peace” — a formula increasingly understood in Israel as code for growing Turkish domination and control over Syria, with which both Jerusalem and Ankara share a border. Erdogan’s statement came just two days after Turkish and Israeli officials met in Azerbaijan for talks aimed at establishing deconfliction mechanisms amid both countries’ ongoing military operations in Syria.

This “one weird trick” allowed a bunch of D.C. judges to seize power over the country.

The Supreme Court’s ruling in J.G.G. v. Donald J. Trump was not an unqualified triumph for the Trump administration’s deportations of foreign gang members, but it was a definite rebuke not just to Judge Boasberg, but to the entire D.C. Circuit Court shadow government.

Peloni:  Is there any greater statement of Western betrayal of Ukraine’s ‘sovereignty’ than for the West to contemplate with fork and knife in hand as they look to carve their own slice of Ukraine, sardonically some distance from the front lines.  Of course, despite the calls to save Ukraine’s ‘sovereignty’, the spoils of Ukraine have always played a factor in the West’s new found obsession over the borders of this Russian border state-let.

Partition Remains a Possible Option, Just Not Kellogg’s Version

President Trump and General Keith Kellogg, special envoy on Ukraine and Russia

Is a partition plan a realistic outcome for ending the Ukraine war. General Keith Kellogg’s proposal appears to have already encountered difficulties. However, that does not mean that some type of partition is out of the question.

Israel has been closely monitoring the nuclear talks between the United States and Iran, with officials expressing deep concern about the negotiations with the Islamist regime over its nuclear program, according to reports in Israeli media.

It’s a mistake to view the Iranian nuclear issue as the be-all and end-all. It is merely a symptom of the deeper illness: the existence of a radical regime that promotes terrorism across the Middle East.

Peloni:  This is a very important lawsuit.  Gary Osen explains how a Palestinian American Citizen, otherwise recognized as being very peace-oriented, is alleged to have been completely complicit in helping to fund the terror infrastructure in and under Gaza.  Osen also addresses the reality that, though there are plenty of laws on the books in the US prohibiting support of terrorism, these laws are never enforced by the DOJ.

Why is it that the murder and torture of American citizens have not been prosecuted in the US?  Might this be due to the past Qatari influence in Washington?  Might it be due to Qatari influence in Washington today?  Indeed, why is this case, which involves the murder of American citizens being brought in a civil lawsuit rather than being addressed by the DOJ?  Are they ignoring the evidence or do they find it lacking?  Is Qatari influence relevant to the silence which is seemingly screaming from the DOJ today on this issue?  Where is AG Bondi, who was so stalwart in her pride of having been a Qatari lobbyist?

Peloni:  In his opening remarks, Mark explains that Trump’s tariff policy is explicitly pro-growth as he is creating a global free market system which will re-industrialize America.  He also goes into the cause for the Great Depression as being the result of the Fed’s tight money policy which, while pursuing sound money, in turn led to a run on the banks due to a lack of available money.  Due to FDR’s anti-growth policies of creating cartels, historic redistribution of wealth, historic rise in peace-time taxes, centralized govt/industrial policies, the depression was extended and additional 7yrs.  Contrasting with these unsound policies, Mark explains that Trump’s policies are historic pro growth policies by cutting waste, pursuing deregulation, cutting taxes, and forcing foreign competitors to compete on a level playing field.

New in PJ Media:

After enduring ten years of the far-left misrule of the vapid and eternally callow Justin Trudeau, Canada has a new prime minister, but not any new ideas or any change of direction at the top: the new boss, Mark Carney, is the same as the old boss, a shallow leftist ideologue without an original thought in his entire sorry cerebellum, which is filled instead with the usual talking points of the leftist establishment that still wields power in much of the Western world.

I’m not sidestepping anything @ComicDaveSmith I’m taking your “I’m just saying” comment and applying logic, facts, law, and centuries of established frameworks that govern how war is conducted. The laws of armed conflict—international humanitarian law—are not theories. They are… https://t.co/i5KLWYRpzU

Peloni:  So the can kicking begins…tick, tock, tick…

Peloni:  In this 30 min video, Wurmser explores the useful aspect of the tariff being leveraged on Israel, warning signs which the US should have (and didn’t) address in its meeting with Iran, and the strengthening threat from Turkey.  This interview preceded Saturday’s meeting between the US and Iran, just FYI.

01 min – Israeli tariffs

10 min – Iran

24 min – Turkey

Peloni:  Highly Recommended film.  Pierre Rehov’s production on the creation of the Palestinian narrative is being throttled on the web.  Please share it widely with family and friends.
