Peloni:  The interviewer is very difficult to understand, but the captioning service helps overcome this fact.  In this 12min. interview, David Wurmser provides insights into the coming administration on the topics of Israel, Ukraine and Russia, as well as the likely fate of NATO.

Peloni:  J.E. Dyer provides a granular examination of the evidence that Israel did indeed strike a facility known to previously be connected to a highly sensitive aspect of Iran’s nuclear program, and which will be difficult for Iran to replace should the strike have had its desired effect.

Understated event; effect that probably can’t be overstated.

According to Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s Foreign Minister, Russia is close to signing a comprehensive treaty with Iran that will include defense cooperation. At the moment, there is no text of the agreement nor any detailed description of its actual contents.

Yet hidden behind the Russia-Iran deal is a bid by Russia to become the “peace broker” in the Middle East.

It was exactly 1:38 A.M. today that Bret Baier on Fox News said that it was clear “that the next president of the United States of America would be Donald J. Trump.”

Not taking a micrometer of credit away from President Trump 47 and his epically tireless, passionate, often hilariously funny, and brave — in spite of three assassination attempts and then a fourth death threat  —  countrywide, night-after-night, week-after-week, month-after-month, year-after-year campaign.

Peloni:  Great article by Imani! The American people lost control of their govt due to the lack of involvement in the political process.  The way to secure the future is to interact in this process at a local level so that the will of the people can lead govt policy rather than the other way around.  It is vital that political involvement be a consistent and continuous feature of any democracy, and the quickest way to allow tyranny into a democratic govt is for the people to lay quiescent and oblivious as vital decisions about their future are made without their input or interest.

The political landscape of America has grown more divisive and tense in the last couple of decades. Polarizing views on governmental policies, social issues, and the interpretation of the Constitution have led many citizens to question the path that the nation is taking. This period of political discord illustrates quite poignantly the critical need for healthy civic engagement in its many forms, including—but not limited to—voting, education, and active community involvement. Democratically, civic engagement enables citizens to steer government activities toward policy, social, and economic fairness through the integrity of the democratic process.

While France is the origin of the principles of modern democracy, it has also shown a disturbing affinity for tyranny.

“I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors. … I cannot prevent the French from being French.” — Charles de Gaulle

Bizarre developments seem to be emerging in what is considered by many—rightly or wrongly—the home of modern democracy, for there appears to be a growing alignment between Paris and the tyrannical theocrats of Tehran, particularly over the fate of war-torn Lebanon.

Peloni:  This video provides a highly detailed, granular review of IDF actions in Lebanon, in which each casualty is described over the past month’s action.  One point which I found disturbing was the narrator’s description of the pager attack as being perverted.  The incapacitation of these Hezbollah butchers with minimal risk to the general population should not be described as perverse but, rather the exact opposite.  In any event, the detail depicted in this video is well researched and very informative.

The messaging from the left is now more focused on what happens after the election than the election itself.

Some of what see unfolding in the United States elections is deeply troubling, and extremely relevant for Jews living in the US – and those living in Israel. Lara Logan, a journalist with over 35 years in the field, has been ringing the alarm about what she calls “the shift”:

“Can you see how the messaging from the left is now more focused on what happens after the election than the election itself?”

Her analysis of this change is that:

 If we don’t want to end up like the Third World, it’s time for us to stop being ruled by it.

by Daniel Greenfield | November 5, 2024

It is no coincidence that both of the Democratic Party’s ‘black’ presidential nominees were not black Americans, but the children of radical third world students who appropriated the rhetoric of the civil rights movement to get ahead, without having any actual history or part in it.

Obama and Kamala are not the legacy of the slave trade, much as they have exploited that history, but the third world immigrants and students ushered in by the JFK administration.

Hezbollah, Hamas seem slow to realize Israel’s military successes have decimated their populations and changed the status quo

After some optimism that lasted less than 24 hours, Hezbollah and Israel seem as far from a ceasefire as ever, which begs the question: How else will the war end?

Earlier in the week, the Israeli army had declared its mission accomplished and removed protective barriers it had set up against Hezbollah’s Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM) in Israel’s northernmost towns, near the Lebanese border.
