Peloni:  Bobby Kennedy is an important figure in today’s political spectrum, offering the nation an example of what an old school Liberal looks like and sounds like.  In this single description we might relate to both the charm and the failure which resides in RFK’s image of how best to fix the world.  I noted some time ago that RFK was a poor choice for Trump as a VP, because of the basic distinctions which distinguish these two men, and that distinction is what role govt might have in the daily lives of the people over which it governs. 

Trump holds an instinctively hostile perspective to govt, looking for a way to get govt out of the way of business, healthcare, and the public, while RFK sees govt as a basic tool by which all aspect of society’s are improved due to the involvement and governance provided by the government.   It is telling that despite the forced injections which RFK accepts has aided the metabolic disease syndrome in the young, and the untold deaths caused by the Covid shots, he has no intention of eliminating the govt agencies which facilitated these crimes, but instead he intends to reform them by providing them with the proper leadership needed to regain public confidence in the govt which so recently and so badly betrayed the public’s confidence. 

Liberals see govt as the answer to every problem, and as I noted above, RFK is a true and honest Liberal, even as he is no radical.  As Hence, since RFK is going to be playing an important, while currently ambiguous, role in Trump’s govt, his pro-govt, pro-regulation stand does concern me.

The word capitalism has no stable definition and should probably be permanently retired. That won’t happen, however, because too many people are invested in its use and abuse.

I’m long over trying to push my definition over someone else’s understanding, generally viewing disputes about vocabulary and dictionary definitions as a distraction against the real debate over concepts and ideals.

The point of what follows is not to define precisely what capitalism is (my friend CJ Hopkins is hardly alone in describing it as once emancipatory but now rapacious) but rather to highlight the many ways in which economic systems of the industrialized world have made a hard turn against the whole ethos of voluntarism in the commercial sector.

– in last five years alone

By Itamar Marcus and Ephraim D. Tepler, PMW   | Aug 27, 2024

• The PA’s official daily cites numbers that show how it is clearly to blame for its own problems
• Israel deducts from PA tax transfers because the PA insists upon rewarding terrorists
• Israel deducts from PA tax transfers because the PA sends money to Hamas-controlled Gaza
• Israel deducts from PA tax transfers because the PA owes Israel money

The Palestinian Authority prioritizes its payments to terrorists and has lost over 6.96 billion shekels (over $1.88 billion) in the last 5 years alone, according to its own data.

Like everything that is “Palestinian,” the keffiyeh comes from somewhere else. Its name is derived from an Italian word, cuffia, or headdress. It originated among the Bedouins as a protection from the sun, and not just Palestinians, or Arabs in general, wear it; Kurds and Yazidis sometimes sport it as a non-political statement. Nevertheless, the close identification of this headdress with the Palestinian jihad against Israel has made it unmistakable: the keffiyeh is today what the broken cross of National Socialism was in the 1930s and 1940s. It is a symbol of an irrational and violent hatred of Jews, and a determination to destroy them.

Peloni:  The momentum in the Trump camp is positive, real and significant, but how do we defeat a system of fraud which bases the opponent’s vote tally on your own?  It is not just a fair and relevant question, but it is also a question which still remains unanswered to this day.  So what is the answer?

Today it has come to my attention from various sources that election-wise we are “up shit creek without a paddle”. In the words of a former intel professional:

Coalition partners and opposition condemn National Security Minister Ben Gvir’s statements on holy site policy. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office quickly distanced itself from the controversy, asserting unequivocally saying, “There is no change to the Temple Mount status quo.”

Israel’s political landscape was rocked on Monday as National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir asserted that a policy shift now permits Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount/Al-Aqsa compound, one of the most contentious sites in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His controversial remarks, which included proposing the construction of a synagogue at the location, ignited a firestorm of criticism from both coalition allies and opposition figures, who cautioned about potential diplomatic fallout and security risks.

Ben-Gvir made the comments in a Monday morning interview on Army Radio, where he claimed a change in Temple Mount policy now allows Jewish prayer at the site. Ben-Gvir went further, stating, “I would establish a synagogue there.”

Biden told delegates at the DNC: “Those protesters out in the street, they have a point.” Oh, really?

Pro-Hamas protest in the USA

As pro-Hamas demonstrators burnt American and Israeli flags, called for Israel’s destruction and a global intifada President Biden told delegates at the DNC: “Those protesters out in the street, they have a point. A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides.”

The people wearing Hamas headbands, waving Hezbollah flags, and screaming “intifada” have a point according to the President of the United States. That includes those people praising Hamas and calling for the destruction of Israel from the river to the sea.

Hillel International and Secure Community Network announced on Thursday that they have launched a campaign to ensure safety on college campuses for Jewish students amid concerns about anti-Israel protests.

The two groups are working to protect Jewish students through their campaign “Operation SecureOurCampuses” by broadening resources, including assessing Jewish campus facilities and working with law enforcement, according to a press release obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Anti-Israel protests took place across college campuses last school year, with many Jewish students and organizations feeling threatened by some of the protesters’ actions.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) expanded their push into the outskirts of Deir al-Balah, a key city in central Gaza. The operation is one of several that the IDF is undertaking in Gaza as it continues to confront various Hamas threats and attacks by other terror groups.

For example, on August 25, Hamas launched a rocket aimed at the Israeli city of Rishon LeTsiyon, one of several recent attempts by the group to use long-range rockets to threaten central Israel. Improvised explosive devices have also taken a toll on IDF forces in several areas in recent weeks, killing and wounding soldiers.

Peloni:  It is so refreshing to read something so resoundingly rational and intelligent.  End the hostage talks so that the hostages might finally be brought home, not thru capitulation which will save a bare fraction of them, but thru decisive victory.

Not the hostages! Forget the so-called “hostage talks,” which are simply a mechanism for stretching out the war and increasing pressure on Israel. They are a sign of American desperation for a political victory. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, according to Egyptian sources, aims to “persuade both Hamas and Israel to embrace the American proposal without adding complications.”

Aside from the repugnant equation of “both” Hamas and Israel, “complications” are what are known as “war goals.” Israel had three at the outset: to secure the borders and the people of Israel; to uproot the Hamas military and governing capability in Gaza; and to get the hostages back.

On Friday evening, a Kennedy joined Trump on stage in Glendale, Arizona. The first major Trump rally after the DNC convention featured RFK Jr as an answer to the Republicans who had come out for Kamala at the showcase event for her political campaign. The Kamala campaign had enlisted a former Pence aide, Stephanie Grisham, a former discredited press secretary, and former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, while Trump brought out Camelot on stage. But what happened at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale went beyond a matchup of names.
