The Big Story

By Peachy Keenan, AMERICAN MIND    29 April 2024

It’s time for me and the other “far-right” natalists to admit defeat. Liberals are committing genetic suicide and going extinct, despite our efforts to talk them out of it. They are running right off the cliff and into oblivion. New baby data shows that last year saw the lowest American birth rate ever. It’s the lowest since they started tracking it. Yikes!

Justice Kavanaugh wrote this opinion about separation of powers, Presidential immunity and Presidential power in the Minnesota Law Review in 2009 – long before he was a SCOTUS Justice. IMHO, it is important to read it again in 2024, 15 years later.

• This was more than a slight. Aside from a calculated insult to the dignity of the United States, the move indicates Xi Jinping is making clear that the accepted norms of diplomacy will not be respected by China anymore.” — Charles Burton, former Canadian diplomat who served in Beijing, to Gatestone Institute, April 27, 2024.

Don’t expel just Hamas supporters – expel the neo-Nazi Left.

Who would have ever expected that the first terror bases in the country would be on campus?

Anyone who was paying attention.

In 2008, David Horowitz traveled around the nation’s universities warning about “Hamas on Campus” and a “movement for a second Holocaust of the Jews” supported by Students for Justice in Palestine and the Muslim Student Association.

The mess in the Middle East is bigger and worse than at any other time in half a century. The hatred of Israel by radical Arab and Muslim groups and nations is documented and expected. So, it’s obvious the basic conflict is that Israel has been defending itself for 75 years against those who seek their destruction. The USA has stood steadfastly by Israel for most of those 75 years, but the American policy toward Israel changed about 15 years ago. Democrat administrations still pay lip service to defending Israel, but their actions are confusing and contradictory. With a feckless American foreign policy, Iran is emboldened, Israel is isolated, and America is weakened.

The deadlock in negotiations for the release of Israeli captives, coupled with American accusations against the group, has paved the way for the offensive.

(April 30, 2024 / Israel Hayom)

As signs of an imminent IDF operation in Rafah intensify, there is growing concern that Israel will unnecessarily exercise self-imposed restraint by acting with insufficient force, so as not to upset the Biden administration, the Egyptians, or the ICC prosecutor at The Hague.

Meanwhile, Hamas is exploiting the prolonged waiting period and preparing well for the ground operation in this sector, which will undoubtedly pose complex operational challenges for the IDF. Despite the political pressures, Israel’s decision-makers must make it a top priority to attain the objectives with minimal risk to the lives of our forces.

Journalist Amit Segal explains how the most politically sound move for Netanyahu is to ensure victory over Hamas.

Netanyhu

CNN interviewed Israeli journalist Amit Segal about the current status of the hostages negotiations.

“Hamas has been demanding one thing that Israel cannot give – the end of the war. That is why I am pessimistic about the negotiations – they understand that they will be finished if the war continues for just six more weeks.”

Peloni:  And herein is where the rubber meets the road, as Islamists of every persuasion feel welcomed at the court of the duplicitous Hashemite kinglet.  This is a great distinction from what will characterize the operational phase of the Jordanian Option, as no Islamists will be tolerated by Mudar in Jordan for the simple fact that Mudar and the Islamists, all of them, are mortal enemies.  Hence, the sea change which will take place under the enactment of the JO will see the Islamists completely isolated from a realm in which they have exercised significant influence and in which they still currently hold significant authority.  This is why Marzook stated clearly that if they are forced from the comforts which they currently hold in Qatar that they will seek similar comforts under the protection of the Hashemites.  For those who refuse to recognize that the Hashemites represent an obstacle to peace rather than any solution to it, this revelation should be seen as a significant surprise.  It shouldn’t, however, be surprising to any of us, as Mudar has been warning us of this fact for many years now.

‘We (Hamas) will determine the fate of the war, not the Zionist regime or the USA, who thought they could destroy Hamas in a week.’

Mousa Abu Marzook

Mousa Abu Marzook, a member of Hamas’ political bureau, denies reports regarding the Hamas leadership leaving Qatar, calling them ‘media propaganda with no basis in reality’.

In an interview with the Iranian channel ‘Al-Alam’, Abu Marzook said that the reports were intended to pressure Hamas in the context of indirect negotiations on a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange (hostages in exchange for security prisoners).

‘Each tranche of footage released from Jan. 6 provides a more complete picture of that day and additional transparency to the American people.’

By Joseph M. Hanneman, EPOCH TIMES   April 28/24

The more than 20,000 hours of Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol security video made public by a GOP-controlled House committee since November 2023 have started to fill in details long hidden by the now-defunct Jan. 6 Select Committee.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) ordered security video be uploaded to publicly accessible servers beginning last November. Eventually, staff from the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight established a channel on the video platform Rumble to store the footage.

Tragically for the country, to stop this left-wing madness, the Trump travesties may not be the end, but the beginning of precisely what the Founders feared.

By Victor Davis Hanson, AMGREATNESS April 29/24.

Do not believe the White House/mainstream media-concocted narrative that the four criminal court cases—prosecuted by Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Jack Smith, and Fani Willis—were not in part coordinated, synchronized, and timed to reach their courtroom psychodramatic finales right during the 2024 campaign season.

These local, state, and federal Lilliputian agendas were designed to tie down, gag, confine, bankrupt, and destroy Trump psychologically and physically. They are the final lawfare denouement to years of extra-legal efforts to emasculate him.

Have you noticed that young women all across America are demonstrating for Hamas, Iran, and Palestine? Why would such privileged and educated women, the heirs to the #MeToo movement and to Second and Third Wave Western feminisms, cheer for male rapists and male killers, arguably the most blood-thirsty and sadistic misogynists this side of Genghis Khan? Why side with Islamist barbarians who have jailed, tortured, and executed their own women over a slipped Islamic veil, and who would forcibly convert their Western female admirers to Islam, veil them as well, and coerce them into polygamous marriages?

The effect of the October 7 atrocity and its aftermath upon Jews in the United States is the ostensible topic of Peter Beinart’s recent op-ed in the New York Times, “The Great Rupture in American Jewish Life.” Actually, Mr. Beinart demonstrates a rupture in the lives of Jewish leftists such as he, who discover that they can no longer be one with their non-Jewish comrades unless they denounce Zionism (i.e., the cause of Israel).

US Troops to Ukraine After Biden is Reelected?

Mercenaries training with wooden guns in Ukraine

NATO is starting to deploy combat troops to Ukraine.  They are in uniform and mostly are concentrated in the western part of the country, although in some cases they are close to the actual fighting in the east.  Soldiers from Poland, France, the UK, Finland and other NATO members are arriving in larger numbers.  These troops are not mercenaries.  They wear the flag of their country on their shirts.

Speaking of mercenaries, Russia says there are over 3,100 in Ukraine.

Qatar has had a lot of fingers in a lot of pies. While we knew about the EU’s ‘Qatargate,’ investments with the Kushner family, and of course Sen. Bob Menendez advancing Qatar’s interests, Politico reports that the Biden family’s ties to Qatar “would constitute some of the closest known financial links between a relative of President Joe Biden and a foreign government,” if courtroom testimony about Jim Biden’s foreign fundraising efforts is substantiated.
