French Judge Bars 2027 Presidential Front-Runner Marine Le Pen From Holding Office, Dishes Out Prison Sentence  

Peloni:  Totalitarians continue to collapse democracies around the West at the behest of the judicial elites who were invisioned to preserve liberty and impose justice when the complete opposite has become far too common of late.   When Judicial Reform was first seen to have become a real potential in Israel following the last election, so many jurists around the world raised concerns while describing the Israeli judicial system as the gem of judical systems in the west, even as its rulings are based upon the whim of the High Court jurists.  And now, even as Israel is taking only modest steps to deal with its out of control judiciary amid a very real contest of wills with its own Juristocrats, courts around the Western world are moving to cement their own whims as being relevant enough to undue democratic norms.  The fate of freedom in the West will depend upon the spirit and will of the public to resist the imposition of autocracy by judicial fiat, and failing this, the life spring of liberty in the West will fail as well.

ARAB VOICES: The Hypocrisy of the Pro-Palestinian Camp  

As a former Muslim apologist and preacher, I once stood in the ranks of those who fervently defended Islam’s image at every turn. I debated, I argued, and I sought to present my faith as a beacon of justice and truth. But those days are long gone. Reality has a way of breaking even the most fortified walls of delusion.

Nothing has exposed the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the so-called “pro-Palestinian” movement more than its shameful, unrepentant embrace of Hamas.

The true face of democracy in Israel  

From day one, the left has treated the prime minister’s victory as illegitimate, launching aggressive, often disruptive protests.

Avi Abelow | Mar 30, 2025

By Mussi Katz from Israel – march from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem to protest Israeli government’s judicial overhaul plan2, CC0

For the past year, Israelis have watched wave after wave of protests sweep the country, with the political left proclaiming their mission to “save democracy.” From mass demonstrations and road blockages to storming the Knesset and launching international campaigns, the narrative has been loud and consistent: The Netanyahu government is supposedly endangering Israel’s democratic system.

Desantis in the final segment about the contrast between the Judicial overrreach being used against Trump in comparison to the far less obstructive courts in Florida.

Donald Trump’s Middle East policy faces crucial tests over coming month  

Peloni:  Trump is about to face the challenge of dealing with multiple big stakes scenarios, all of which are related and how he deals with each of them any significantly influence the others. April is going to be a pivotal moment when these challenges will addressed and the outcome of  which will set the agenda of success or failure of much of Trump’s foreign policy endeavors over the next four years.   And at the center of much of what will take place with these challenges will be the Qatari talking head, Steve Witkoff, acting as Trump’s point man.

The Trump administration faces challenges in Gaza, Iran, and Ukraine while conducting airstrikes on the Houthis and addressing tensions in Syria and Israel.

TOC Ready Room 27 March 2025: Signalgate – A little slice-and-dice on Jeff and Mike’s excellent adventure  

What’s wrong and right with the world, heavy-sighing edition.

J.E. Dyer, a retired Naval Intelligence officer, blogs as The Optimistic Conservative, Mar 27, 2025

Update going to post.  As of Wednesday this is starting to settle out a little.  The entire text message chain has been released, and boy, is it a nothingburger.   At the end of the original article text, I’ve appended some comments from another forum on why it’s a nothingburger.  For those who want the short version, the updates at the top, and the concluding comments, may do the trick.  (For perspective, I do recommend not missing the ”Key takeaway” section titled with a break in bold letters.  And sorry about any redundancies.  It’s either get this up as-is, or not, at this point.)

Pierre Poilievre: “I have no interest in negotiating with the Islamic Republic of Iran.”  

Peloni:  It would be a truly devastating loss to not see Poilievre break the antisemitic Leftist hold on power in Canada.

Changing perceptions of Islam, Part 5: “After the Bibas mother and boys atrocity, who supports Hamas out loud?”  

Scores of Jews remain in captivity, some dead, others in various stages of alive. Their fast began on October 7 and will not end tonight. Tomorrow they will hear the Eid celebrations overhead or outside somewhere. Their captors do not love them, and seek no love from them.

Hamas Played Witkoff Like A Fool, Huckabee Is Revealing the TRUTH  

Peloni:  Yishai Fleisher presents an important conversation here with Jake Bennett about the open conflict between Trump’s Middle East Envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Trump’s soon to be confirmed Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.  Witkoff’s punditry on behalf of both Biden’s Israel policy and Qatar’s lack of radicalism, contrasts with Huckabee’s perspective that Israel’s war with Hamas is one of an existential nature which is being fought on behalf of Western civilization against barbarism.  The distinction between these two voices is neither nuance nor commiserate, but are in fact diametrically opposed visions for Israel and the world.  I look forward to Huckabee being confirmed in his position, but also to Witkoff being fired from his position.  Both of these actions would provide significantly greater moral clarity to the Trump administration.
