Peloni:  On Saturday’s show, Mark spends his first segment examine Trump in his first hundred days.  He explains that Trump has been and continues to be a consequential president, a historical figure due to several aspects, his charisma, his direct relationship with the American people, he thinks big and outside the box, he is a principled man who remains open to new ideas, perceptive, considerate and curious, while sensitive enough to inquire about the well being of those directly by his side.  Mark explains that Trump is not an idealogue, but is instead driven by philosophy.  The efforts of his enemies to destroy him have made him unique in America history, adding to his historic quality as he will not given in to their demands or succumb to their efforts.  He remains to be the most popular president in American history as he is not a politician.  Mark explains that besides Lincoln, there has not been another president attacked from the day he entered the White House, while still securing a significantly consequential agenda in his first 100 Days in office.   He has lived as an inspiring figure, influencing others who observe him in action.

Hamas massacring women and children is “resistance” according to Peter Beinart but, as in Africa, it is Islamist attempted “genocide” by definition and their own admission.

Since Oct. 7, there’s been an aggressive effort to rebrand Hamas terrorism as “armed resistance.”

Now, Peter Beinart, speaking at the Harvard Divinity School, which recognizes only one deity, Allah, used a curious term of art to describe the mass murder of Jews as “Palestinian armed resistance against civilians.”

Both tiny Israel and mighty India are victims of the same ideology: jihadism. The Muslims in Pakistan and the Muslims in “Palestine” share the same desire to harm the Infidels — Hindus and Jews, respectively. The terror groups that Pakistan’s military nurtures and arms — Jaish-e-Muhammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba — and then helps to cross into India to murder civilians are brothers under the skin to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Peloni:  The campaign to try to divide Israel from the US continues with the full support of Qatari and antisemitic parties.

by Robert Spencer | May 12, 2025

Is Donald Trump really preparing to recognize a Palestinian state? The news hit like a thunderbolt on Saturday, amid an avalanche of stories claiming that Trump is angry with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and is changing course from his previous wholehearted support of Israel’s defense against Hamas and the other jihadist entities that are determined to destroy it. As is so often the case in such matters, however, there was decidedly less to the story than there initially appeared to be.

You won’t believe what I’m about to tell you—but I confirmed it personally, because even I couldn’t believe it at first.

In a recent meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu actually said that Israel is ‘considering stopping the reception of U.S. military aid.’

Yes, you read that correctly. Not “demanding more,” not “thanking the U.S. for its support,” but actually re-evaluating whether Israel should continue receiving it at all.

Peloni:  This is not believable.  Qatar is a state sponsor of terrorism.  It funds pro-terror riots on US college campuses.  It funded the same Hamas which tortured, murdered and kidnapped dozens of Americans on October 7.

Update: Trump responds to critics of accepting the free plane from Qatar, stating that the transaction is completely transparent and very public while complaining that The Dems would insist the US pay top dollar instead.  But he fails to acknowledge that the greater problem stems from the source of  the gift being the Qataris, an acknowledged terror supporter, a documented briber of politicians, and a major source of funding for Aidan Alexander having been held in captivity over the past 18 months and responsible for the training of those who raped, pillaged, tortured, murdered and held the corpses of American citizens over the past year and half.  The Qataris are a den of iniquity, from which the US needs to divest itself, not become more invested with them, and this is irrelevant to how transparent or public this bond of association might be.  Or so I would argue.

Peloni:  As if against the tide of gravity, logic, or rationale, this regime which has been dedicated towards the destruction of the West, and actively infiltrates Western society towards this end, has been reinforced, funded, and protected by the leadership of the Western nations over the past forty years, bringing us to a climax today, in which the fate of this hostile regime in Tehran stands beyond any hope of survival but for the latest effort of the West to secure the Mullahs in place once again.  So, with its defenses stripped bare, and its proxies brought to the point of being crippled, the survival of the current regime in Iran will be decided by the very powers whose complicity or negligence brought it dominate the region.  The only question is whether the West will persist in preserving this existential threat, even as it is clear that it is only a matter of choice that they do so.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is facing unprecedented pressure from both within and outside its borders. Internally, economic collapse, widespread political disillusionment, and mass rejection of religious authoritarianism have profoundly weakened the regime’s legitimacy. Externally, Iran’s regional influence is diminishing as its proxies suffer military defeats and diplomatic isolation. Although the precise timing is uncertain, the convergence of these pressures makes regime change in Iran increasingly likely. For Western policymakers, this is not the time for short-term crisis management—it is the time to prepare for a democratic transition.

Peloni:  Jennifer provides an important proposal for the future, one in which like minded nations would voluntarily, not thru coercion, cooperate to advance the interests of the strengthening of individual nation-states rather than that of a globalist or collectivist body.   A poignant and thoughtful proposal for a better tomorrow which might replace the failing structures of old, which preferred trans-natioanal organizations and coercive tactics.

In structural failure, opportunity.

Peloni: The duplicity of ‘humanitarian aid’ masked as food for starving people is both a despicable and an effective ploy in supporting barbarians such as the Houthis towards goals which should be understood to be completely antithetical to the civilized people of the world.  In fact, such acts of support for terrorism as have become routine outcomes of providing aid for these fake famines should be investigated and those involved should be prosecuted for supporting terrorism.

By Daniel Greenfield | May 10, 2025

The U.S. sent billions in famine relief to Yemen. During the famine, the population rose 30%. And Yemen’s Houthis used our money to go to war against us.

In May 2024, the Biden administration announced that it was providing $220 million in aid to Yemen which the United States had been at war with since the start of that year.

Peloni:  Transparency and accountability are twin aspects of a govt which respects and adheres to the will of the people.  The long overdue application of these features in regards to important acts of govt misconduct has been a feature rather than a bug.  While the statute of limitations will preclude accountability for malfeasance, it seems that some tranparancy might soon be provided for what took placed during the political psyop best known as the Russia Hoax.  It will be a beginning at least, and at last, which demonstrates the real life consequences of the adage of “Justice delayed is justice denied”, the fury for which might fuel greater real-time accountability for future and more recent past events which have betrayed the will of the people in a more timely fashion.

I wonder how Columbia University would behave in the following scenario. A bunch of students and outside agitators descend on their campus. They are dressed in the gear of the Ku Klux Klan, being careful to conceal their faces so as to avoid any personal criticism. They then enter the university’s library and other sacred spaces of learning and chant for the lynching of black Americans.
