Commentary

We’ve all wondered if the fix is already in. Given the irregularities of the last election, and the manner in which the whole of the U.S. establishment rallied around one side, maybe a Biden victory in November is a foregone conclusion.

I’m guilty of believing this. I’ve doubted every prediction that Donald Trump or RFK, Jr. can win. This is not because they won’t get votes. It’s because those votes might not matter enough.

For the first time, Israel deployed the C-Dome naval point defense system late Monday to intercept an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that had entered its airspace near the southern city of Eilat.

The interceptor missile was launched from a Sa’ar 6-class corvette, which had only recently been commissioned into the navy.

Joel Pollak, the Senior Editor-at-Large and In-House Counsel at Breitbart News joined his former boss Steve Bannon on the War Room on Monday morning.

Joel has traveled to Israel numerous times since the October 7 massacre of Jews by Hamas when 1,300 innocent Jews were slaughtered by Hamas terrorists in their homes, on the streets of southern Israel, and at an all-night rave dance party. It was the most barbaric attack Jews since the horrors of World War II.

Joel Pollak described how the malevolent Biden regime has launched its own assault against Israel during their current war against Hamas.

• The tragic unintentional killing of seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen (WCK) has created a swell of international outrage, including a statement by President Biden in which he claimed that Israel had not done enough to protect aid workers.
• Other governments have now demanded a ceasefire, which would effectively end Israel’s goal of dismantling Hamas.
• While awful, tragedies of this sort are commonplace in war. An academic study conducted in 2018 found that hundreds of medical facilities were attacked in a variety of conflicts over the last three decades.

Criminalizing offensive speech is ending American, Canadian, and European freedoms.

Conservative demonstrators, who allege that the government pressured or colluded with social media platforms to censor right-leaning content under the guise of fighting misinformation, protest outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington on March 18, 2024, as the Court hears oral arguments in the case of Murthy v. Missouri. (Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty Images)

Speech comes in many forms, of course, from news, entertainment, books, and movies, to singing protest songs, protesting in the street, or just having a good old chin-wag at your local café or bar. In a free society, the chances are that whatever anyone says, about half of the population will agree with that person and the other half won’t. Some may even be “offended.” So what?

In a totalitarian society, where no offending speech is allowed, there’s the official truth and everything else is a crime. Who wants to live like that?

Israel looks increasingly isolated on the world stage. But one country has stood unwaveringly by Israel’s side: Germany. It stands out as a model of support. Not because it gives Israel a free pass on every controversy. But because it has not buckled on its fundamental pro-Israel positions, even when international pressure builds.

First, let’s acknowledge that Germany’s strong pro-Israel positions are rooted in the country’s need to right historic wrongs. As Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated, “German history and our responsibility arising from the Holocaust make it our duty to stand up for the existence and security of the State of Israel.”

But Germany’s guilt over the Holocaust does not in any way call into question the principled positions that continue to stand in stark contrast to the bizarre behavior of some of Israel’s other Western allies, six months into a war that Israel did not start.

Joe Biden knows something about accusations of dual loyalty. In 2016, then-Vice President Biden delivered a speech at Dublin Castle heralding the “progress” Catholic Americans have made since John F. Kennedy made the trek to Ireland 50 years ago and was “attacked for being too close to a pope.”

Now, as five American-Israelis languish in Hamas captivity, Biden is turning his back on that progress.

E. Rowell:  Is Biden saving democracy or destroying it?  Is Biden saving Israel or attempting to destroy her?  Are Trump or Netanyahu threats to democracy? Does Biden’s plan involve imprisoning Donald Trump?  Does Biden have a four point plan to remove Netanyahu from power?  Who is Biden saving?  Who benefits from Biden’s decisions and actions?  Does Biden show respect for and belief in G-d or Satan?

Joe Biden is a “diabolical” politician.

• Based on what he referred to as a conversation with his contacts in the White House, [riot leader and entrepreneur Ami Dror set out in granular detail the White House’s four-part plan to overthrow the government. The components involved actions on the ground in Gaza; the use of the U.N. Security Council; extortion of government ministers; and mass protests.

Peloni:  It is a great misfortune and injustice that Braverman was removed from her post last year.  She is a voice of reality and reason, just as she remains a good friend to the Jewish people.

Suella Braverman, LBC    April 9, 2024

In conversation with Nick Ferrari at Breakfast, ex-Home Secretary Suella Braveman explained why she supports Israel’s attacks against Hamas, which she branded as ‘a death cult intent on destroying Israel’.

Peace in the Middle East is impossible without denazification, that is, without removing the ideology of the destruction of Israel and Israelis from the minds of Palestinian Arab children.

Denazification (Entnazifizierung, in German) is “a set of measures aimed at purging post-war German and Austrian society, culture, press, economy, education, jurisprudence and politics from the influence of Nazi ideology.”

Peace in the Middle East does not require the creation of a new Arab state, but “the purification of Muslim society, culture, press, economy, education, jurisprudence and politics from the influence of the Nazi ideology of Islamic terrorism.”

• Had the Biden administration maintained the strong support for the destruction of Hamas that it showed in the immediate aftermath of Oct 7, the fighting might already have subsided and all the hostages been returned. But every time the Biden administration weakens its support for Israel, it strengthens the determination of Hamas to raise its demands and threaten Israel, to the point that Israel cannot possibly agree.

Republican National Committee (RNC) co-Chair Lara Trump argued election integrity is “vital” in this current cycle, vowing to dedicate resources to ensure nothing is left to “chance.”

“But when you talk about election integrity, it is vital. It is the No. 1 thing that we are focused on, aside from getting out the vote, which, of course, Donald Trump himself will do for us,” Lara Trump said Sunday during Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“We are ensuring that this election, we are leaving nothing to chance,” she continued. “We never before at the RNC have had an Election Integrity Division. All of our resources, we can put into this division as needed.”
