Peloni:  US engagement with radical Qatar is isoloating other Sunni allies, forcing Saudi Arabia towards a harder stance, and giving Syrian minorities a sense of abandonment, save for Israel’s interventions.  It also undermines the US domestic agenda of fighting antisemitism on US campuses which Qatar funds.

What makes this even worse is the fact that the US could have its cake and eat it too with its position of dominance over Qatar, and instead they let Qatar act as if they are in the position of dominance as the Qataris are having their cake and eating it too. The implications of this tail wagging the dog is very worrisome, and the consequences of it are highly damaging to US interests in the region as explained by Wurmser.

Peloni:  Howard Rotberg expertly captures both the paradox and the threat with which we are faced with any prospect of Palestinian self rule, be it in Gaza or in Judea & Samaria.  Indeed, given the degree of weaponization with which they have been trained as experts in the savagery which we have seen them achieve, how might it be anticipated that they might be prevented from manipulating any opportunity of self-rule towards the further pursuit of their psychopathic dreams of revisiting their fantasy of October 7 again and again.  Indeed, the divide which part their demonstrable psychopathy from rational civilized behavior is such that they can only be trusted to do as they have been trained.  Not in Gaza, and not in Judea & Samaria, should the perpetrators and celebrants of October 7 be granted self-rule, not for one day more.  Rather they should be facilitated towards emigrating somewhere more remote, where their tendency towards such radicalism as they have been weaponized might be overseen and redirected by a logical, relatable and responsible third party.  A scenario such as the Jordan Option could provide an ideal solution towards dealing with this paradox, where the Palestinians would be monitored and overseen, away from their intended Jewish prey by a ruling body led by Mudar Zahran, whose governance and survival would itself provide and require a zero tolerance for such Islamist radicalism as has been the effect of both Hamas and PA self governances, overseeing the whole-of-society effort of radicalizing Islamist training of the Palestinians by UNRWA.

Howard Rotberg

With every act of terror by the terrorist Palestinians, Americans, including Jewish Americans, parrot the idea that this proves that Palestinians deserve a state.  As we have seen in the case of October 7th, the more barbaric and obscene the terrorist attack, the more frantic these morally confused Americans, Canadians and Europeans become to reward these barbarians with a state, money, humanitarian aid and the welcome to immigrate to our cities and countries.

Linda Goudsmit: History is repeating itself in President Trump’s latest trade deal folly with Islamic countries in the middle east. Long-term/short-term thinking is the ideological black hole of trade deals with Islamic countries in 2025, just as it was when Nixon/Kissinger opened trade with Communist China in 1971. Islamism and Communism are both binary, expansionist, socio-political, totalitarian ideologies of rulers and ruled. Whether religious or secular, they are both doctrinal variations on the supremacist theme of absolute totalitarian control. Like Communism, Islam has a long-term strategy and never ever varies from its ultimate goal of totalitarian control. Islam tells the world that there will be peace on Earth when all the world is Muslim. Communism tells the world that it is Communism’s destiny to rule the world.

The problem with President Trump making trade deals with Muslim countries, is the same problem Nixon/Kissinger had making trade deals with China. President Trump is thinking short term. His trade deals enrich the American side in the short term, and empower the Communist/Islamic side in the long term. China tried to collapse the United States with the wealth it amassed being America’s trading partner for 50 years––and the Muslim countries will do the same in the long run. Why? Because “Death to America!” is DOCTRINAL! President Trump is making the same mistake today that Nixon/Kissinger made 50 years ago. The difference today is that American technology will be used against us, not just the wealth that Muslim countries will amass by expanding their influence beyond oil.

Peloni:  Mark Levin explains that the terror advocates walking the streets of America are not expressing free speech, but that they are carrying out an attack on the American people.  Seeing weakness in the US, Mark notes that terror networks in the US are targeting America and American civilization.  This is not about free speech but about the survival of the American Republic, and about the survival of Western civilization.  Jews have been seen to be unsafe in capitals across Europe and now this tragedy has been extended to the American capital as well.  He exclaims that it is time for action.  The onslaught against the US is being funded by Qatar and other countries, and the anti-American efforts are being aided by a complicit court system which is hamstringing the Administration’s efforts.  Explaining that these enemies are marching thru the streets of America unlike any group of Nazis have done in the past, unlike any Klansmand have in the past, calling for the destruction of America and the death of Jews with a sense of complete impunity.  Mark calls for the sealing of the border as Trump is doing, ending all investment and spending coming into the US from these terror states, unleashing the Israelis to utterly defeat Hamas,

Peloni:  This is very good news.  The development of IMEC will only be possible in a future version of the Middle East, if that future pursues a path of stability and collaboration, something which requires a very great change in the relationships between Israel and its neighbors which exists today.

Janet Levy:  Buried in Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,” is a secret clause favored by House REPUBLICANS that will prohibit individual states from regulating AI.

This is the clause: “No state or political subdivision may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.”

This is a direct violation of the 10th Amendment and represents a federal power grab that will fully empower billionaire technocrats to employ AI as they see fit, to our great detriment.

Recall the signing of Stargate on Day Two. That was a “clue” that many ignored.

Leo Hohmann | May 21, 2025
Artificial intelligence is going to cause more upheaval in society over the next few years than perhaps any other technology the world has ever seen.

But if President Trump’s Big Beautiful Budget Bill gets passed in the version preferred by a group of House Republicans, the federal takeover of this technology will be complete, opening up a free-for-all for Big Tech to weaponize it against everyday Americans.

Peloni:  The use of the anti-terrorism laws now being bandied about in the wake of this tragedy needed to have been deployed previously, for lesser crimes than the murder of these two inocents.  While deportations of foreigners are being fought in the courts at present, where are the charges for the open support of the terrorist organizations which are routine across US campuses? Laws exist to act as a deterrent to such needless crimes as this, but if the relative laws are not enforced by the relevant authorities, they will have no deterrent effect at all.

Reports have surfaced that “someone” in or connected to the Trump Whitehouse has labelled Israel’s necessary attempt to finally finish the job of hunting down the butchers of its innocents in Gaza and elsewhere a  “pointless war.”

At the same time, while Israel was deliberately left out of the President ‘s “deal” with the Houthis to end their attacks on America and others, Israel was getting blasted by Houthi ballistic missiles—one hitting Ben Gurion Airport, resulting in numerous airlines ending flights to Israel, and all the  extra economic damage that will cause besides the cost of fighting multiple proxies of Iran and having to deal with an increasingly hostile Egypt as well. The latter just completed major war games with the Communist Chinese, and have moved large numbers of tanks into the no go area in the Sinai Peninsula according to the arrangement made when Israel voluntarily withdrew for the sake of peace after being viciously attacked by Egypt and Syria on Yom Kippur in 1973…

The remarkable achievement of the  Eurovision public vote awarding second place to the Israeli entry New Day Will Rise, performed by Yuval Raphael, a survivor of the atrocities committed by Hammas demolishes the widely held but erroneous view that Israelis have suffered a fatal loss of confidence and a dramatic loss of heart among their European supporters.
