E. Rowell:  Most of the coverage of this case has been discouraging at best.  Finally, someone with common sense and deep knowledge of American history puts the case in context.

It is obviously un-American for the government to develop a ‘hit list’ of citizens to mute in the public square through secret pressure on communications monopolies.

The Biden administration attempted to distract the Supreme Court from the voluminous evidence of federal abuse of Americans’ speech rights during oral arguments in Murthy v. Missouri Monday. It sounded like several justices followed the feds’ waving red flag.

“The government may not use coercive threats to suppress speech, but it is entitled to speak for itself by informing, persuading, or criticizing private speakers,” said Biden administration lawyer Brian Fletcher in his opening remarks. He and several justices asserted government speech prerogatives that would flip the Constitution upside down.

E.Rowell:  From Sun Tzu we learn: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”  The US is a country that, by Sun Tzu’s description, knows neither itself nor the enemy.  This is why the US has succumbed in every battle following World War II.  This article discusses the problem that inheres when the US government attempts to give advice to the Israeli government, which has won every battle it has fought.

Opinion: By continuing to assume Hamas wishes for the best for Palestinians in Gaza, the US falls for the terror group’s trap when it refuses to see it as the main cause of Gazan suffering.

By Atar Porat, YNET NEWS          21 March 2024

Recently, in one of the Pentagon’s press conferences ahead of the American mission to establish a causeway for aid in Gaza,

Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder was asked how the Administration was going to ensure the humanitarian aid reaches civilians and not Hamas.

In other words, the Israeli allegation is that the bulk of the aid gets stolen by Hamas the minute it enters the Gaza Strip via the land crossings. It does not reach the civilians – which helps Hamas maintain its war machine.

The Berlin Wall was an emblem of oppression. Driven through the heart of a city, it spoke of immense and brutal power set against human liberty, by people so in love with their utopian vision that they would break up the lives and legacies of whatever they thought stood in their way.

A divided city, a divided country, speaks of divided lives. It is something good people may have to suffer. It is something that bad people create. (READ MORE from Shmuel Klatzkin: Is Chuck Schumer Motivated by Honor or Power?)

NATO can’t save Ukraine from defeat and Europe’s leaders fear what happens next when that day inevitably arrives

Europe is facing defeat in Ukraine as its policies on the war go sideways. Europe’s approach is increasingly unreflective of the growing reality on the ground while growing efforts to punish Russia and promote sending troops to Ukraine appear counterproductive.

A good example of this is Germany, which has indicated it will keep supporting Ukraine and push its anti-Russia agenda. Chancellor Olaf Scholz no longer refers to Vladimir Putin as Russia’s president and now only speaks of the Russian leader by his last name, Putin.

The poll shows 50 percent of likely Michigan voters supporting Trump, with only 42 percent supporting Biden. Biden only holds a 35 percent approval rating in the state, while 40 percent of voters view Trump favorably.

E. Rowell:  This is a brilliant analysis of Israel’s position at this point in the war vis a vis the US Biden Administration, as well as of Iran’s position, and the position of the US.  It is painful at times to listen to the degree to which the US has gone to empower Iran and Hamas, and all of Iran’s proxies while now publicly deciding the time is up for Jews to defend themselves.  In addition, government propaganda in the US blames Israel for the unrest in the Middle East!  Biden and Obama did everything they could to destabilize the Middle East via empowerment of Iran, and now they want to shift the blame to the Jews.  Even members of the Mossad negotiating with Qatar are part of the problem.

President Joe Biden and Sen. Chuck Schumer are losing patience with Israel’s defensive war in Gaza. While pressing Israel for “regime change” they are also threatening greater American pressure to achieve an outcome that suits the administration’s political priorities. But the Government of Israel has priorities as well, chiefly to ensure the security of the citizens while leaving a path for peaceful relations with its neighbors. Reconciliation appears difficult.

The defenders of Kibbutz Alumim fought off Palestinian terror squads on Oct. 7 and saved their homes and families

The evening of Oct. 6 was especially festive at Kibbutz Alumim, one of the two religiously observant kibbutzim among the communities that dot the Gaza envelope, the part of Israel’s fertile northwestern Negev region adjacent to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Most of Alumim’s 500 residents and their guests had gathered at the kibbutz’s synagogue to celebrate with song and dance the start of the Simchat Torah holiday, one of the two most joyous days on the Jewish calendar. Many of them didn’t finally retire until after midnight.

Taiwan seemingly confirmed that the US has boots on the ground on islands off the coast of China, in what could escalate tensions in the region.

The admission came when Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng was asked about a report saying US Special Forces have been training the Taiwanese military on outlying islands — including one just three miles from China, according to the Wall Street Journal.

“This exchange is for mutual observation, to identify problems we have, figure out how to improve, and to recognize their strengths so we can learn from them,” he said, according to the report.

The current Israeli government made the same mistake after Oct 7 that so many previous ones had by assuming that it would retain the support of the White House if it followed its parameters. Instead of a comprehensive siege and rapid forceful assaults, Israel waited. When there were complaints about casualties, it slowed down, sent warnings and put its own soldiers at risk. And lives were lost.
