Ring of fire: Isn’t it time to consider a direct response against Iran?  

Israel is now at a crossroads. Will it continue to crush and destroy the military capabilities of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, even at the possible heavy price of a death sentence for the hostages?

On September 25, 2021, Gen. Gholamali Rashid, commander of the Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), quoted remarks made by the Quds Corps commander Qasem Soleimani:  “I have assembled for you six armies outside Iranian territory, and I have created a corridor 1,500 km. long and 1,000 km. wide all the way to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea… One army is in Lebanon. It is called Hezbollah. Another army is in Palestine and it is called Hamas and Islamic Jihad (IJ). One army is in Syria. Another army is in Iraq and is called the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), and another army is in Yemen and is called Ansar Allah (i.e., the Houthis).

A two-state solution – but on both sides of the River Jordan  

By Victor Sharpe | July 22, 2024

There has never in all of recorded history existed an independent, sovereign Arab nation called Palestine. It is a fraudulent history of a fraudulent people in a fraudulent land.

The phrase “Two State Solution” has been embraced by politicians and journalists alike, repeated endlessly, and touted as the panacea for a “just and equitable” solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

It has assumed the repetitious role of a muezzin’s call to Islamic prayer. But it is based on erroneous geography and history, on a mixture of wishful thinking, naiveté and a brilliant Arab propaganda campaign of disinformation and falsehood. To understand why, it is necessary to learn a small but vital chapter of Middle Eastern history.

Secret Service Had Front Row Seats For A Trump Assassination  

Peloni:  Even as early on in the investigation as it might be today, it is hard to ignore what we are seeing that the Secret Service saw that day.

U.S. Can’t Ignore Central Asia Much Longer  

Peloni:  Sherman describes how US foreign policy blunders have left the US in an ironic state of growing isolation without the means or competence to change this situation, even as significant opportunities present themselves.  The leader of the Free World is more and more marching to its own drum, abandoning partners, betraying allies, and destabilizing their own position in the world.  While America needs a return to good governance, the world needs a return to good leadership.

By Martin Sherman | July 22, 2024

“After only one year of President Biden being in office, we have seen the complete collapse of Afghanistan and a return of the Taliban rule; Russia on the verge of war with Ukraine, in what could be the largest invasion in Europe since World War II; the rise of authoritarianism in Latin America … and Iran’s continued build-up of its nuclear program.” Rep. Michael McCaul. R-Texas, Biden’s Foreign Policy Failures.

“U.S. foreign policy during the Biden administration has abandoned allies, strengthened adversaries, and put U.S. national security at risk.” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Biden’s Strategic Failures in Foreign Policy,

Biden Unfit To Be Candidate, Fit To Be President  

Daniel Greenfield | July 23, 2024

After a few weeks of media hit pieces,

donor pressure and calls by party leaders, Joe Biden did what Donald J Trump refused to do in 2016 or 2024, and announced that he was dropping out of the campaign to focus on “fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

Islam; the Why and How it Differs from our Judeo-Christian Heritage  

Peloni:  Nice analysis of the dichotomy which exists between Islam and Judeo-Christian Heritage.  Well Done!

Dr. Norman Berdichevsky 

What is meant by “Our Judeo-Christian-Heritage”? What upset both many Jews and Christians when President Obama reversed the order traditionally used by public figures and spoke of the United States as “A Country of Christians and Muslims,”? Is not Islam one of the “Three Abrahamic Religions” as many Muslims claim? Both terms stress the importance of integrating new knowledge into an acceptable framework that confirms a group’s most cherished values.

The Torah and the Constitution were elevated by Jews and Americans respectively as the final recourse and supreme arbiter of political disputes and moral conflicts. The “LAW” rather than any President or King was acknowledged as the source of power in the state.

Donald Trump Versus American Socialists  

Peloni:  Markovsky expertly describes the situation as it exists within the Democratic Party and its turn towards insanity, Marxism and totalitarianism.

By Alexander G. Markovsky | July 20, 2024

Image: YouTube screen grab (edited).

Robert Kennedy Jr. stated that Biden is more dangerous to democracy than Donald Trump. Robert is misguided; Biden is senile and does not pose a threat to anyone. It’s the entire Democrat party that’s the greatest threat to our democracy.

During the 1960 presidential debates, Robert’s uncle, John Kennedy, highlighted the ideological difference between the Democrat and Republican parties. “We have a different philosophy for achieving the same objectives,” he said (emphasis added).

The Looming Hezbollah Deterrence Problem  

Seth Frantzman | July 2024

Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel on Wednesday, July 17, setting off alarms in the coastal city of Nahariya and surrounding communities. It was one of a series of daily attacks carried out by Hezbollah. The Iranian-backed terrorist group has launched more than 5,000 attacks on Israel since 7 October, using rockets, missiles and drones. The attacks occur along Israel’s northern border, but they have become more deadly in recent weeks. Israel evacuated around 80,000 people from the border in October due to the attacks. However, civilians and soldiers continue to be harmed by Hezbollah’s endless assaults.

Now That He’s Quit the Race . . .  

by  | July 22, 2024

Old Joe Biden has now bowed to pressure from Democrat top dogs and dropped out of the race. So why is this man still president of the United States?

The contradiction is clear in the statement Biden’s handlers wrote in his name, withdrawing his candidacy: “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country” — note the order of priority: party first, country second — “for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

European Union Is Funding Iranian Aggression?  

by Majid Rafizadeh  •  July 20, 2024

Iran’s strategy is aimed at ultimately annihilating not only Israel but also oil-rich Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The continued funding of Iran’s regime by the EU is crucial in bolstering Iran’s ability to attack its neighbors and US troops in the region, both directly and through its proxies — Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Houthis — and to accelerate enriching uranium to complete its nuclear weapons program.

Biden Drops Out – Endorses Kamala  

Peloni: Trump response to Biden’s announcement: “Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was!  He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement.”

Sundance | July 21, 2024
