Perhaps you have heard of Professor Allan Lichtman and his prediction for the 2024 presidential election. He says that Kamala will win.
Lichtman uses a prediction system based on 13 historical “keys” that measure the strength of the incumbent party in a presidential election. Some of his keys, such as the charisma level of the challenger, are highly subjective. A list of keys is found here in a post by Andrea Widburg.
Peloni: This was a highly informative conversation between FIDF CEO Steve Weil and Jonathan Schanzer regarding the recent twin high value assassinations of Shukr and Haniyeh, the expected Iranian response to those assassinations, the role being played by the US in this war and many other details.
Peloni: This is a must watch video. Gadi is entirely correct. Victory is essential to Israel’s survival, but the victory can not be limited to Hamas. Israel needs to defeat Hezbollah, drive it North, and transfer the war zone in Israel into Lebanon. The problem with this, of course, is the hostile position of the Americans which are protecting Hezbollah, as the US represents the interests of Iran against that of all its allies in the region including Israel.

Who the heck came up with the vile idea of letting Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, architect of 9/11, off with a plea deal?
J.D. Vance, a combat veteran of the George Bush-led wars set off as a result of that act, said what a lot of us would like to hear said, according to Fox News:
During a campaign speech Wednesday in Glendale, Arizona, Trump campaign vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance slammed the plea deal taken by three of the terrorists behind the Sept. 11 terror attacks awaiting trial in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Following the Hezbollah attack on 12 Israeli Druze children from the village of Majdal Shams last Saturday evening, Prime Minister Netanyahu said that the terror organization would pay a heavier price than it has paid to this point. But while it would be reprisal of significant proportions, it would not be so severe as to trigger a war with Hezbollah.
Peloni: The disingenuous attempt to rebrand Harris as mainstream overnight is even more insulting than the attempt to brand Biden as competent. The choices could not be more distinct on every issue in this election, and most acutely so on the topic of Israel. Should she become president, it will be a disaster for Israel no matter whom she might take as her VP. Her debasement of Israel has been a mainstay of her commentary of the Gaza war.
“We love death like our enemies love life.”
Daniel Greenfield | August 1, 2024
After attending the inauguration of Iran’s new president among the festive chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh found death waiting for him.
“We always shout: ‘Death for the sake of Allah is our loftiest aspiration,’” Haniyeh had claimed.
The Hamas billionaire who lived in luxury in Qatar hadn’t actually wanted to die, but he should have been careful what he wished for before the missile granted him the death he cheered for.

U.S. forces conducted a self-defense airstrike against Iran-backed terrorists in Iraq on July 30, according to U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to The Washington Post. According to Reuters, citing Iraqi police and medical sources, the United States targeted a base south of Baghdad, killing four fighters and injuring an additional four. The base is used by Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) — an Iraqi state-sponsored paramilitary network that was originally formed to combat ISIS but has been coopted by Iran and now contains multiple Iranian-backed militias that oppose the United States and Israel.
Peloni: The obvious implication of this is that the elites are now treating their population in a manner which had once been reserved exclusively for pets and livestock are now. So the question we must ask ourselves is whether we are to be considered as pets or livestock by these elites. Such limited valuation of a subjugated people is a direct consequence of people who are ruled by arbitrary power rather than thru the consent of the governed.

Quietly and without press attention, in the last ten years most governments of the world have started requiring that dogs be microchipped. The chip contains information on vaccine records and health generally, along with owner information including phone number. Most people have complied and there is no organized movement against it. It has become a common practice over 10 years, and enforcement is constantly tightening.
Peloni: America has become the greatest sponsor of terror in the world, thru the billions of US dollars which it is knowingly passing to Iran and its proxies. The US has been fast tracking funds to terrorists thru Iran and Lebanon and Gaza, even more openly since the October 7 Massacre. They have simultaneously held Israel in obeisance, restraining them from properly responding to the ongoing assault of over 7000 missiles over the past 9 months. This sponsorship of inhumanity and barbarity by the ‘leader of the free world’ must come to an end.

Peloni: The obvious question which comes to mind is how much the Big Guy received for this latest surrender to terrorists by the current terror sponsoring American regime.
The Biden-Harris Administration has done the unthinkable: they’ve agreed to a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11th attacks, and two of his accomplices.
23 years ago, America watched in horror as thousands of innocent Americans died. America… https://t.co/r8f1afkRKm

The Biden regime’s non-response – and why it’s so troubling.

To hear the establishment media tell it, the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has brought the world perilously close to a full-scale war in the Middle East and maybe even a world war. In this hour of crisis, one would expect America’s leaders to be way out front, working energetically to protect the American people, our allies, and American interests, trying to calm the international situation. Instead, the episode has once again raised the question: who exactly are America’s leaders?
Israel has sent Diplomatic Back-Channel Messages to both Iran and Lebanon, stating that they are willing to go to Full-Scale War if Iran, Hezbollah, and other Iranian-Backed Groups conduct a Retaliatory Response which causes Significant Damage and Casualties in Israel. pic.twitter.com/jP3Pip3exx

T. Belman. How the hell did Qatar Secret Service, hear of this.
JaFaJ INTELLIGENCE July 31, 2024
1. Summary: Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh- Haniyeh who was assassinated on July 31, 2024 in Tehran, was “warned” by Qatari State Security in late June about an imminent assassination plot. This warning was conveyed by a Qatari Royal family member who hosted him in Doha. Haniyeh was informed that Israel intended to assassinate him, regardless of political or diplomatic repercussions, even if he were in Qatar. Despite reassurances of safety from the Qatari government, Haniyeh travelled to Iran, believing the threat of Iranian retaliation would deter Israel from attacking him there.
2. JaFaJ has learned from Arab Gulf sources, that Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh was already aware of an assassination plot against him. The source confirmed that the Qatari State Security agency warned Haniyeh in late June about the imminent danger.
