On Sunday, December 22, President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his desire for America to take control of Greenland, saying it is an “absolute necessity.” The very next day, Greenland’s prime minister, Mute Egede, said the autonomous island, part of the Danish kingdom, was not for sale. But Trump’s plan—like that of William H. Seward, who, as secretary of state, oversaw the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867—is not without tremendous geopolitical advantage to America.

Peloni:  This is long overdue.  Egypt must be significantly reduce its military presence in the Sanai.  Egypt’s massive military force presents a significant threat to Israel’s security along its long border with Israel, and this is not something which Israel should have ignored, even before the revelations regarding Egypt’s role in facilitating Hamas’ preparations for its offensive war with Israel.

Israel has contacted Egypt to demand answers after the IDF has recognized a significant increase of military activity in the Sinai peninsula, violating the peace agreement between the countries, Channel 14 reported.

Peloni:  Not a single objection raised against Trump’s confirmation, just four years after a massive psyop was employed to validate a rigged election, the consequence of which left the nation more divided, the presidency more constrained, and thousands of Americans incarcerated, presaging the political show trials which are still ongoing against Trump.  And yet, there was not a single objection to Trump’s electoral victory.  Has America overnight become so centered around a Trump presidency that not a single contrary vote was raised against Trump’s return to power, not by any RINO, not by any Globalist, and not even by any of the still unhinged Dems?   Such a united front emanating from the US provides for many opportunities even while it raises many questions.  Greenfield believes this is due to tactical self interest.  I am curious what others might attribute this inexplicable solidarity around Trump’s recent election victory.

For the first time this century.

In the past, I have pointed out that Democrats objected to every single Republican presidential victory in this century. The Washington Times however notes that this time around,.”It was the first time congressional Democrats did not raise a challenge to a Republican winner of the presidential election since certifying George H.W. Bush’s victory in 1989.”

The Management of Savagery / “We’ll cut off your head if you say we’re violent”.

Tommy Robinson recounts his first childhood awareness of Muslims. In his school dining hall, all the children from all backgrounds mucked in together all over the place, except in the far corner, huddled amongst themselves, were the Muslims. Quite clearly, nothing bad happened to him here. This was not a traumatic childhood experience that would scar someone for life. Yet, it is easy to see how this would leave a lasting impression on him.

Peloni:  The ongoing cooperation and partnership between India and Israel is very important and presages many advantages for each in the future.

Peloni: As the initial Kursk offensive led to the collapse of the Pokrovsk, this latest incursion may well lead to additionally difficult consequences for Ukraine.  Their limit of men, munitions and moral place them in a difficult position with regards to making such attempts to create new chapters in this war which they are not situated as being capable of winning.  An important question will be to what degree the incoming Trump administration might support such an expansion of this war, even if it were successful, and I expect that they will not be supportive of doing so at all…

Peloni: Brilliant piece by Tucker

Jeffrey A. Tucker | Brownstone Institute | January 6, 2025

Bram Stoker’s classic Dracula (1892) was written as a Victorian-style moralizing tale of sin and its consequences. The author, a political and religious conservative of his times, never could have imagined that his novel would become a bestseller in his own time largely due to its lascivious imagery and terrifying plotline that fed into every anxiety over morality, science, and public health, much less kick off a century and a quarter of vampire films.

Peloni:  Finally, Trudeau has been undone and the long road to restoring trust in a representative govt may soon begin for the people of the True North.  Hopefully it will take form soon under the direction of an honest champion of individual rights and freedoms such as Pierre Poilievre.

But he tried his best.

At long last, on Monday Justin Trudeau has announced his pending resignation, although it will be awhile before he is actually gone. In declaring his intention to resign, Trudeau prorogued parliament until March 4, which means it will not be in session, but will not be dissolved. During this period, the Liberal Party will select a new leader, after which Trudeau says he will finally depart from the scene. Thus the misrule of this curious man is likely to come to a definitive end reasonably soon, and we can only hope that he doesn’t do too much more damage between now and then.

Peloni:  In the second half of this Morning Briefing, Schanzer interviews Ken Stein who was a former staffer and longtime, close associate of Jimmy Carter until 2006 when Carter in fact advocated on behalf of terrorism against Israel.  Stein provides an interesting perspective on Carter, emphasizing that Carter continuously chose his positions such that he would have a pivotal role to play in any negotiations which might follow.

Bribing adversaries to stop only provides funding, which finances their military so they can attack us later with bigger weapons. That is how North Korea and Iran built their nuclear weapons programs. So long as Iran’s brutal theocratic tyranny holds power, there will never be a peaceful future for the Middle East. Pictured: John Kerry, then US Secretary of State under President Barack Obama, meets with Iran’s then Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on May 17, 2016 in Vienna, Austria.

• Iran’s mullahs would surely love nothing more than to cut a deal with the incoming Trump administration that would enable them to stay in power, build their nuclear weapons and unleash them at a later date.

Peloni:  This was an electrifying debate which had been decided before the debate began, and in which the opposition tried to have  Natasha’s ally in the debate, Son of Hamas, removed from the debate floor.  Censorship, of course, is the favorite tool of authoritarians.

Peloni:  So the leader of the local Muslim Brotherhood party in Israel has volunteered to give Bibi the support so that a deal might be struck which will bring some fraction of the living and dead hostages home in exchange for Israel’s capitulation, which in turn will result in the preservation of Muslim Brotherhood Hamas.  The reality is that Bibi could have surrendered with the support of Gantz and his leftist allies, and the political imagery of Bibi striking a deal with the Muslim Brotherhood to save Hamas, well, need we say more?

Capitulation is not an option for Israel’s survival, not without the support of Abbas, and certainly not with it.  Hamas must be destroyed, their remnants should be besieged without any offer of aid or sustanance, and their members should face the death penalty for their crimes.  Should there be any negotiations, this is where such bargaining should begin.  And among the negotiations which might take place, there should be no release of terrorists, no withdrawal of forces from Rafah nor from Gaza in general, and no role to be played by Abbas’ Muslim Brotherhood.

Peloni:  Greenfield describes the coordinated effort between domestic and international forces to displace Trump from office to position a sock puppet president, to some degree or another, in office whose mental incapacities, and I would argue additionally his corrupt business practices, left his managers in a position of considerable control over his presidential decisions.  He additionally notes that the ultimate challenge for the incoming Trump administration will be to restore representative govt to the American people.  Hence, it falls to Trump to eliminate the power of the  bureaucrats over the presidency, while also establishing transparency and accountability within the election process.  To do so will require far greater accountability for the treason carried out under both Trump and Biden.

The Biden administration came out of a Chinese biolab.

by Daniel Greenfield | Jan 2, 2025

Over 1 million Americans were killed by a Chinese biological weapon. That same biological attack also elected a president whose administration took the lead in covering up the attack.

And that COVID coverup also showed how an unelected and treasonous shadow government had taken control of the Biden administration and of the United States of America.

Peloni:  Maistrovoy is entirely correct!

“Furthermore, I consider Carthage to need to be destroyed,” repeated Cato the Elder. Gaza is Jihad’s foothold, our Carthage. We have no other choice.

Alexander Maistrovoy | Jan 5, 2025

The winner in a conflict is the one who better understands the enemy’s ultimate goals and worldview, his aspirations and priorities.

What is Gaza for Israel?

For the average Israeli, thinking within the framework of a rational Western worldview (I am not talking about leftist inversions), Gaza is a bridgehead controlled by a hostile force, Hamas. So, it is necessary to weaken Hamas as much as possible and control it through its proxies (like Dahlan) with the support of moderate Arab states or contain it directly through a military administration.

What is Gaza for Islam in general, and for the local Arab population in particular?
