If US President Donald Trump is really serious about making a positive impact on the Middle East, a good place for him to start would be to designate the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood movement as a terrorist organisation and scale down Washington’s ties with the Gulf state of Qatar.

• For Trump to make genuine progress in bringing peace and stability to the region in his second term, though, his administration must first focus on the root cause of much of the unrest blighting the region.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed each year on January 27 as a solemn reminder that the Holocaust was not an isolated atrocity but the result of incremental decisions and actions by individuals. These choices culminated in the largest genocide in human history, driven by waves of antisemitism, intolerance, and hatred.

Peloni:  Excellent article by Gary Littwin!!  As I have noted before, the growing arrogance of the Supreme Court keeps the issue of Judicial Reform ever in the forefront of the Israeli electorate, over whom it exploits its use of arbitrary power.  This is not the hallmark of a democracy, but the mark of judicial tyranny which acts to coincidently disregard the dignity and liberties of the public at large…which is why the demand for Judicial Reform will only grow louder and louder and be perceived as being more and more necessary as time passes by.

There is no longer such thing as “clear language”; a judge tells the parties to a contract what they really intended, overriding their actual language and the accepted meaning of their words. The judge’s interpretation is based on “basic principles” such as justice, equality and minority rights.

“As of today, the incoming Trump Administration has hired over 1,000 people,” President Trump tweeted. “It would be helpful if you would not send, or recommend to us people who worked with, or are endorsed by, Americans for No Prosperity (headed by Charles Koch)” along with a long list of others.

But by then it was already too late. The Kochers were already on the inside.

Peloni:  I believe that Trump’s position on this point is quite clear.  Jordan and Egypt will take the Gazans.  And this will begin to revolutionize the entire region.

President Donald Trump was contemplating, and, as he often does, set off a firestorm.

Gaza is, he said, “literally a demolition site, almost everything is demolished, and people are dying there.” On the other hand, “Gaza is interesting. It’s a phenomenal location, on the sea. The best weather, you know, everything is good. It’s like, some beautiful things could be done with it, but it’s very interesting.”

The continuation of the hostage release ceasefire agreement, which led to the return of thousands of Palestinians evacuees to the northern Gaza Strip this week, is raising security concerns for Israeli leaders.

Janet Levy:  We must say “NO” to STARGATE, the $500 Billion program Trump just ENDORSED to EXPAND the use of the deadly mRNA technology, essentially a bioweapon.

If you think Operation Warp Speed was lethal, this is MUCH WORSE!  Plus, Stargate is coupled with AI surveillance.

Watch the two minute trailer, and, if you are so inclined, view the documentary.

Peloni:  Egypt has been given a long leash on which to act against its previous allies.  I am particularly looking forward to seeing Trump return the relationship with Sisi to one based on reciprocity or more preferably to simply see the relationship being handled over to someone else altogether.

Hours after President Donald Trump revealed plans to ask Egypt to enable Palestinian refugees looking to escape the war to enter the Sinai Peninsula from Gaza, Cairo’s Foreign Ministry issued a firm rejection of the proposal. Cairo called any attempt to displace Palestinians an “infringement on inalienable rights” and warned such actions would threaten “regional stability, risk further conflict escalation, and undermine prospects for peace and coexistence among the region’s peoples.”

Peloni:  The US needs to divest itself from Qatar entirely.  They should cease all forms of Qatari investments and dealings with the US.  They should also relocate the US base in Qatar.  And then they should impose massive sanctions on them.  They are a terror hub within the Middle East and this fact should be well recognized and acted upon.  Unfortunately, Qatari influence peddling in the US is well established, well funded, and well accepted… which is why none of this has yet come to pass.  The question is if this established corruption of American institutions and political elites will continue under Trump.  Sadly, the advocacy by Witkof for his allies in Qatar would seem to indicate that it will.

Lawmakers have been scrutinizing Gabbard’s ties to the Science of Identity Foundation, according to the report

Rhian Lubin | Independent | Jan 29, 2025

Tulsi Gabbard’s campaign paid a firm to “mask connections” to an alleged pyramid scheme linked to a secretive sect she grew up in, according to a report.

The Senate Intelligence Committee is set to grill President Donald Trump’s pick to serve as director of national intelligence on Thursday over her questionable connections and background. Since she was named as nominee to the post, she has faced questions and pushback given her previous statements and her history with foreign nations.

Lawmakers have been scrutinizing Gabbard’s ties to the Science of Identity Foundation and the Hong Kong-based marketing firm QI Group, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The real lessons are those we still haven’t learned.

By Daniel Greenfield | Jan 31, 2025

Philosophers, writers and thinkers insisted that the Holocaust was an inflection point in history, but it’s clearer now than ever before that it did not change history, it only accelerated it.

Israel was not, as politicians all too often insist, “born out of the ashes of the Holocaust.” It was born out of the blood, sweat and determination of a relatively small group of Zionists who defied the traditionalists and leftists in their own communities to go and rebuild their own homeland.

Peloni:  While Trump’s EO puts an end to the abuses which have been suffered on children in the guise of medical intervention, those medical institutions, clinicians and school personnel who were responsible for subjecting children to these life scarring events without parental consent should be prosecuted for child abuse.
