T. Belman. So Abdullah and Rania left Jordan on Friday to see Biden. What this means is that Abdullah and Rania were forced to leave Jordan as part of an impending Coup. In his absence Jordan will be declared a Republic and Mudar Zahran will lead it. According to all reports, Netanyau will declare war is over in Gaza in the next two weeks. Mudar Zahran will become the leader of the Republic of Jordan shortly thereafter and Lebanon will be invaded by the end of July.

President Biden will host King Abdullah II of Jordan at the White House on Monday for talks about an end to the Israel-Hamas war, the White House announced Thursday.
The president and first lady Jill Biden will welcome Abdullah and Queen Rania Al Abdulla to mark 75 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Jordan, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
Before discussing a potential Trump landslide, I want to summarize Biden’s debate performance. Below is an edited version of the lyrics to “One Night in Bangkok.”
One night in ’lanta makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in ’lanta and predictions crumble
Just one debate, and it’s a tragedy
The Dems are freaking, and it’s plain to see
Voters have had a look inside the Potemkin Presidency, and it is clear that many did not like what they saw. Most were shocked by Joe Biden’s performance and his apparent mental decline. Many were also angry at the White House staff and the news media for hiding Joe’s situation from the public.
Stay Awake Dammit!

One of my favorite icons in history is Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. I was raised with a great love for history by a dad who knew just about every damned thing to do with WWII. In fact, I had to be the only fifth grader who knew that Yamamoto planned the attack on Pearl Harbor. I didn’t stop there; I went on to tell my teacher and class that he was educated in America, warned Japan against fighting us, told them they would lose, was sent out to sea in part because his life was being threatened for daring to say the emperor could be defeated, his personal hero was Abraham Lincoln, and made the famous “Sleeping Giant” quote.

Across America, the backyard grills are out and fired up, along with the rich and complicated culture they unleash. Watching this unfold, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is this feature of the experience more than the culinary results that provides the main attraction to grilling.
I’ll put the most provocative point up front so you don’t have to dig through and find it. The backyard grill allows men a space of control in a society and culture in which such settings have otherwise dwindled to nearly none. Before you get angry and cite a thousand exceptions and qualifications, and I’m sure they are all valid, hear me out.
Iran seeks to deter Israel from Lebanon operation
By SETH J. FRANTZMAN JULY 4, 2024 17:49
Iran’s acting foreign minister Ali Bagheri Kani meets with the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) Leonid Slutsky in Tehran, Iran June 15, 2024.
Iran’s acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani said on Wednesday that any Israeli action that leads to “all-out war” in Lebanon would become an “eternal hell” for Israel, Iran’s latest attempt to protect Hezbollah, its most well funded and well equipped proxy.
For Iran, preserving Hezbollah is a key priority, which is why it is ramping up its rhetoric. Israeli officials have been saying for months that the Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel, now more than 5,500 since they began in October, must stop. However, Israeli officials have discussed a diplomatic solution and only if that fails, proffered a military solution.

On June 21, the FBI declassified a 1999 video of Saudi intelligence agent Omar al-Bayoumi casing the Capitol and other Washington D.C. sites for the 9/11 attack. How, then, did the CIA-FBI 9/11 report conclude in 2005 that Saudi Arabia was not involved in the attack? And why did the FBI maintain — for 20 years, before its recent retraction — that al-Bayoumi wasn’t a Saudi agent?
Such willful deception, practiced increasingly by American intelligence, is the subject of former CIA agent J. Michael Waller’s new book Big Intel: How the CIA and FBI Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains. The dramatic writing and detailing, backed by the author’s experience in espionage — in Central America and the U.S.S.R., and against jihadist conspiracies — make it a page-turner. In 37 chapters, plus additional sections and a reading list, it presents an alarming history of how a century-old Marxist campaign has succeeded in ideologically subverting America and its intel agencies.
Peloni: I always found it interesting to reflect upon the fact that the American Colonialists saw themselves as the New Jerusalem and that in Israel’s founding it looked to the example of America for its Declaration of Statehood. The ties which exist between the American and Israeli people have proven to be incredible and enduring. May this tie never be broken even as has been routinely betrayed by American leadership (sans Trump) which have claims to represent the American people.
On this Fourth of July, I want to thank the American people for being true to their birthright, the Spirit of 1776, and wish them a happy and blessed Independence Day.
Through thick and thin, for the past nine months, Israel has deeply appreciated vital American support.

Peloni: Gadi and Mike begin this session with a detailed analysis of the High Court’s role in trying to destabilize Bibi’s govt with its recent recent ruling on the Herdim Draft Law. They also discuss the distinctions between the Right and the Left and some of of the ideas and perceptions which divide them. Finally, the share their reflections on the recent debacle of the US presidential election debate, Biden’s obvious problem with dementia, how the Left are dealing with it, as well as how Trump chose to straddle between the majority of his supporters who are pro-Israel and the so-termed Carlson-voters who are isolationists, even while he clearly called for Israel to be given the means to win the war and to do so quickly.

In November of last year, I wrote Israel is in a strong position, not a weak one.
Assuming that is the case, Israel should still not agree to a ceasefire. Instead, she should follow Biden’s advice:
“The new phase that the Americans envision would involve smaller groups of elite forces that would move in and out of population centers in Gaza, carrying out more precise missions to find and kill Hamas leaders, rescue hostages and destroy tunnels, the officials said.”
In addition, following such tactics would reduce Israel’s need for resupply and that would render her more immune to US pressure.
Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative” July 2, 2024,
The current pressure on Israel
Since Israel’s establishment in 1948 – which was ferociously opposed by the State Department, and tenaciously realized by Israel’s defiant Founding Father, David Ben Gurion – The State Department has systematically pressured Israel to act against its own assessment of its own national security requirements. In fact, in most cases, Israel’s compliance with State Department pressure undermined the US’ own interests, while a defiant Israel spared a major setback to the US’ own interests.
*Since the horrific Hamas terrorism of October 7, 2023, the State Department – which subscribes to a worldview, contending that terrorism is driven by despair, and therefore should be confronted diplomatically and financially, not militarily – has intensified the pressure on Israel to refrain from militarily preempting Hezbollah, the chief proxy of Iran’s Ayatollahs.

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the performance and not see them. The same thing happens when you know the details of how ballots are different than votes, and how the ballots are manipulated.
U.S. elections are no longer about “votes,” modern elections in America are about “ballots”. As we have seen in several election cycles, the election winner is not the person who gets the most votes – the election winner is the person who collects, submits and ultimately counts the most ballots. The same is true for the presidential electoral victory; it’s the person who gets the most ballots, not votes.
Peloni: Science, good science, requires a concerted effort to design studies to specifically remove factors such as selection bias, and yet, what we have seen over the past several years, particularly in what has been passed as ‘research’ on Covid and the ‘safe and effective’ vaccines, is an almost routine use of such mismanaged study designs whose results are dependent upon those factors not being considered and not being removed. Bad science is in fact not science at all. It is propaganda, commonly used to mask its support for special interests as was true going back to the Bernay survey which came to recommend the import of eating bacon for breakfast to improve the sales of the pork industry over a century ago. As the Covid scam becomes more and more revealed and its foundational scientific research is demonstrably seen to be not just flawed but rigged towards an ultimate outcome, demand an accountability for all who were involved in this skullduggery, and a return to investigating the wonders of the universe asnd not the profit margins of such industries as are supported by selection bias passed off as scientific research.
Jeffrey A. Tucker | July 3, 2024
These last years have provided a tremendous education in the ways seemingly rigorous science can actually be highly misleading. Much of the problem traces to a simple idea: selection bias. Once you understand it, much of what we think we know about what is true, along with many studies showing it to be true, melt away.
Good science corrects for the problem but it is still ubiquitous.
Let’s take a simple example.
Say you have a dog and you make his own meals. You are careful about this and rather strict, making sure that you have all the right vitamins and minerals in the meals and each is the right size and you stick with it daily. You monitor the results. You save money. The dog is healthy and happy.
Peloni: The Chinese are a greater problem than can be dealt with by Israel. Israel is capable of dealing effectively with the terror sublets which today surround her, and the Israeli people are currently inclined to dispatch these problems as they have too long been allowed to fester, but only the US might deal with China, even as they would prefer to waste their resources and alienate potential partners in their failed attempt to regime change Russia. As the focus of the US has been for decades focused upon elective wars and international intrigues, it should have been contending with the growing threat and power of China. The return of Trump and sanity will hopefully lead the US, to refocus its attention in countering the arising threat from China which today has its tentacles of control growing across the world and even among the youth of America. If a credible response from the US to China is not forthcoming, it will likely foreshadow ever darkening events for the West in genera, but for Israel in particular.
Carlos the Jackal was an early adopter
Clifford D. May | FDD | July 3, 2024
Younger readers may not have heard of Carlos the Jackal, and older readers may have forgotten (because sometimes that’s how it goes, as we were reminded last week). So, let me tell you his story.
Ilich Ramirez Sanchez was born in Venezuela in 1949. His father, a wealthy Marxist lawyer, gave him that first name in honor of Vladimir Ilich Lenin.
From 1968-70, young Ilich studied at Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow.
