PELONI: Living in the age of Lions, we see the strength, tenacity and resolve embeded within the people, something which became overwhelmingly evident following October 7, is once again affirmed by the actions of those heroes who saved themselves and untold others from being the latest reciept added to the long list sketched onto butcher bill of terror. Todah la’el !
A near catastrophe unfolded aboard a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv when a violent cockpit confrontation reportedly sent the aircraft plunging thousands of feet over Saudi Arabia.

Foster City, CA, September 29, 2026 – AMCHA Initiative today commends California Gov.

After a plane en route to Tel Aviv from Dubai sent an emergency signal before landing in Saudi Arabia’s Tabuk, Israel is treating the incident as a suspected terror attack, while working on bringing the around 180 passengers home in an air force plane.
PELONI: Yes, the IRGC is being crippled economically, and its allies in Iran and China are not able to stop this, but will economic collapse be enough to bring down the Iranian regime? Think about the situation in Iran with the metaphor of the frog sitting in a pot of boiling water in mind. Without a direct shock to their security system, ie attacking their leadership and/or their security infrastructure within the IRGC and Basij, I anticipate that this regime will remain fixed in place. So, yes, the Operation Economic Outcast is working, but will it be enough on its own to bring down the IRGC regime? I doubt it. Perhaps Trump is waiting til after the midterm to add this key kinetic aspect to his economic war, but if he doesn’t do so, is it likely the IRGC regime will collapse? Well, time will tell…
GOOD NEWS: Following a sustained diplomatic and media campaign by UN Watch, an unprecedented coalition of 45 countries pulled out of the UN’s 25th anniversary commemoration of the Durban Conference, a notorious event tainted by antisemitism and the demonization of Israel.

In Toronto, we have a municipal election approaching.
The principal contest is between Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford — two candidates offering voters distinctly different approaches to governing this city.
You can examine the whole 19th century from the point of view of who would have maxed out their credit cards. Emma Bovary would have maxed hers out. No question. Mr. Scrooge would not have. He would have snipped his up. Margaret Atwood
PELONI: The question of, Mr. President, how many of your own people were murdered by your own forces??, is not unlike the question of how many times you beat your wife, the Iranian president remains unphased as he reiterates that he did apologize for the slaughter…
Recall that this is the presumed “moderate”, which of course simply means that he plans to destroy you later rather than today.
PELONI: A must read article by Geoffrey Clarfield who provides a very insightful examination of the rising trend toward tyranny among very disparate regimes and political movements.

All great tyrants and conquerors have been monotonously alike. – C.S. Lewis
In order to explain Canada’s recent and dramatic tilt towards tyranny under Canada’s first unelected parliamentary majority (they ‘persuaded’ already elected Conservative MPs to defect) one must first go back in time and ask why Fascist Japan and Nazi Germany were such close allies before and during WWII?
PELONI: Is America so willing to return its safety, security and economics to the untethered control of the Islamist-Leftist cabal from which it so recently regained its freedom, and which has only become far more untethered than ever before since loosing power two years ago? It is said that economics always decides the next election. “It’s what is jingling in your pocket that wins your vote…” Well, if this were true, there would be little chance that Americans would so willingly place themselves in the hands of those who purposefully focused economic hardship on the American people under the last administration. I share Pamela Geller’s disgust with modern polling, but if in the end as they prove prophetic, the economic hardships which are now leading the world’s only Superpower towards such a self destructive elective choice will see that choice result in the economic and electoral destruction for generations to come. So, yes, I agree, I don’t believe the polls cited below, because I believe that the American people are far more likely to choose a course which will secure their future, which was the basis behind the motto above which indicates that economics alone will decide the next election. Of course, time will tell if this is so…
I have little faith in pollsters for obvious reasons. As a rule, they are politically biased and wrong. But if there is an inkling of truth to these polls, then country is already cooked. Done. The Democrats offer terror, communism, politcal violence and subjugation. There is no contest in this war of ideas – freedom versus slavery.
PELONI: See comments by Michael Pregent in video below as he describes the abandonment of America’s most capable ally able to deal with the Iranian threat, so as to appease America’s less loyal allies such as Turkey.
Tehran has carried out more than 1,000 missile and drone attacks on Kurdistan following the start of US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February.
By SETH J. FRANTZMAN |SEPTEMBER 28, 2026
Iskan is a bustling street in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Northern Iraq, around a mile from the city’s historic citadel. At night, Iskan Street is full of small restaurants selling various types of food. It’s famous for its street food and one website calls it “the street food heart of nocturnal Erbil.”
Is it time for Jews to leave Canada before it’s too late ?
The removal of Jewish veteran journalist Neil Herland from his broadcasting duties has intensified a long-standing national debate regarding the institutional culture, fairness, and funding model of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). Critics and media watchdogs contend that the suspension exposes an asymmetrical enforcement of journalistic standards and highlights systemic problems within Canada’s public broadcaster. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Iranian students climb up U.S. embassy gates in Tehran.. By Unknown author – revolution.shirazu.ac.ir, Public Domain, Link
In 2009, the October surprise worked in the opposite direction. A coalition of pro-American Islamic politicians and clerics fomented a popular uprising in Tehran in the hope that incoming Democrat President Barack Obama would offer a helping hand, as Carter had done in February 1979 against the Shah.
Gregg Roman of the Middle East Forum had several questions presented to him for consideration, and I believe the one involving the arming of the long tormented Iranian people especially deserves a wider audience, adding to the prestigious MEF’s own. You’ll find them in the first link below.
Update: Sec. of State Marco Rubio, as if in response to Stephen Bryen‘s question, “More to come on this in the coming days…” See video below.
PELONI: How broken is England’s legal system where a suspected terrorist is released on bail, but people tweeting concerns over Islamist in the UK and people protesting unrestricted migration policies are left in jail, presumably because they are a threat to society.
The British Police say that the five men arrested in connection with a suspected bomb plot targeting RAF Fairford are all British nationals. Nothing has yet been said officially about who was behind the plot. The risk to US assets and personnel in the UK remains extremely high.
