“To speak of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as the ‘three Abrahamic faiths,’ the ‘three religions of the Book,’ or the three monotheisms, obscures rather than illuminates. These familiar tropes ought to be retired.” — George P. Weigel

The above quote is featured prominently within my esteemed colleague’s work “Islam & Blood”, which is the most geo-politically, theologically, and culturally sound policy paper to address the cauldron of the Middle East, most profoundly in relation to America’s and Israel’s common enemy, radical Islam. If one domino falls, the other will likely follow. Invariably, they serve as the twin linchpins and pillars of Western Civilizations, the underpinnings of Judeo-Christian principles and mores.

The opposition has proposed to the coalition to advance two elements of the judicial reform––the reasonability consideration and the status of the legal counselors to the government, including the Attorney General––on condition that the coalition commits not to advance the judicial reform bill regarding the makeup of the committee to select judges until the end of the term, which may be as late as 2026, Reshet Bet Radio reported Sunday.

According to the report, the coalition is ready to accept the proposal, but only through October 2023, the end of the Knesset’s fall session.

TIERNEY’S REAL NEWS  MAY 28, 2023

The Globalist Arizona swamp shut down all the voting machines on election day so that the cartel’s favorite lawyer, Adrian Fontes, and his cabal could keep the border open, run Arizona & use his muscle to threaten judges to look the other way.<

The Globalist Texas swamp just impeached AG Ken Paxton of Texas so they can try to replace him with Jeb Bush’s son, George P. Bush, and turn Texas into another Arizona.

Reality vs. Ideology: 

By David Nusbaum

Re: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/05/no_to_susie_gelman_as_us_ambassador_to_israel.html

Whether the Democrat Party historically was a great friend of Israel while the Republicans were not is hardly a black and white issue. Yes, Truman and Johnson were pro-Israel and the Senior Bush was not. But Bill Clinton brought us the “Nakba of Oslo” and BHO…well, where can we start and end?  Trump was pro-Israel despite the mindless hostility he faced from “liberal Jews.” And the O’Bidenties, including the Squad and their supporters on the Senate on the Left, continue to mistakenly view the Israeli situation through the distorted ideological lenses of extreme Left Globalist intersectionalism and the KGB’s fabricated foundational Palestinian Mythology.

It is only on occasion that we use the words of others to any great extent. But, when someone of great reverence for God, with integrity, and great honor finds the phrasing to disseminate the exact meaning of what is going on in the world, we are compelled to present it. It is a call to action.

Take in the words of Archbishop Vigano on the meaning of what is taking place throughout the Western world today. He has it exactly right. The Archbishop is paying a price for his candor and frankness. I am not Catholic, but I am a Christian and I recognize truth when I hear it.

Now that the government has fully inserted itself into the news and information industry, the criminalization of free speech is a very real threat. (Image source: iStock)

• [M]edia polling from Harvard-Harris showing that Americans hold almost diametrically opposing viewpoints from those that news corporations predominantly broadcast as the official “truth.”
• Americans have correctly concluded that [with the “Russia Hoax” and suppressing reported influence peddling in Hunter Biden’s laptop ] journalists and spies advanced a “fraud” on voters as part of an effort to censor a damaging story and “help Biden win.” Nevertheless, The New York Times and The Washington Post have yet to return the Pulitzer Prizes they received for reporting totally discredited “fake news.”

On the Memorial Day weekend, while most Americans played near water, the leftists impeached the strongest elected voice in Texas for election integrity — Ken Paxton.

Impeachments were history book items until Clinton, then two more for Trump and some predicting one for Biden.  Everyone kind of gets it.  It’s a political thing, with preposterous second-raters giving speeches about honesty, integrity, rule of law as they bend the rules to get their way.

Simcha Rothman tweeted in Hebrew:

This fake story, and more than that the enthusiasm and trust in it received by the media which of course rushed to publish it, are a sad parable of the ease with which the leadership of the “protest” hijacked the public consciousness, into a world of cynical lies that stems from a lack of agreement to accept the election decision. Put it into people’s heads here that the government has decided to do a “coup” that will turn the country we all love as it is, into a totalitarian and non-democratic halachic state, into a backward third world country, into a country in economic, political, security, and moral collapse.

None of this is true. It’s all false fears and the result of a campaign of intimidation that is astonishing in its lack of red lines, the recipient of enthusiastic cooperation from the media.

T. Belman.  Netanyahu must stand up to the pressure. Normalization can wait. Capitulation to foreign pressure invites more pressure.

The purpose of this bill was to reduce foreign influence.

Netanyahu, who has been working hard to score a meeting with the US President, had no choice but to capitulate and shelve the legislation.

Israel National News 28.5.23

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly agreed to shelve the Nonprofits legislation, which aims to limit the aid foreign governments and bodies provide to Palestinian Authority Arabs, following increasing international pressure.

T. Belman. Ben Gvir’s bill to promote “Zionist values” will likely be shelved as well. Laws such as this is another way to limit the Court’s activism.

T. Belman. Does the Jew Room still exist? I remember that when the US desparately needed Arabic interpreters, she refused to hire Jewish interpreters.

By Bruce Brill (A former NSA Mideast Intelligence Analyst.) oCT 29, 2017

We in the Arabic Section of the US National Security Agency (NSA), where I worked at the time, knew days in advance and with certainty that Syria and Egypt were about to launch a coordinated attack against Israel on October 6th 1973.

Yet, on the eve of the 1973 Yom Kippur Surprise, Israel’s Prime Minister, Chief of Staff, and Defense Minister were all given absolute assurances that the Arabs had no intention of attacking Israel on or before Yom Kippur, October 6th. The assurances were given by Israel’s Head of Military Intelligence, General Eli Zeira. In spite of his very own Army Intelligence indications, General Zeira was thoroughly convinced the Arabs had no intention of attacking because of unnamed friends’ assurances.

Universities are forums for the free exchange of ideas, for learning how to think, not what to think; for debate, not indoctrination.  Unfortunately, that can no longer be said of American universities.  Open inquiry and critical thinking untainted by ideology have been supplanted by leftist dogma, including Critical Race Theory and social justice advocacy.  Except at the increasingly rare institution offering a classical liberal arts education, it has become impossible for impressionable students to earn a degree without becoming steeped in leftist rhetoric and the extreme ideas of race and gender.  They end up believing that America was built on racism and defining themselves as either oppressors or victims.

Public governance and politics in Ukraine changed profoundly after Russia’s full-throated invasion of Ukraine beginning February 24, 2022. June 3 marked the hundredth day of what can be called Ukraine’s new administration—though the people in government have not changed. What has been held over from the “old” administration, prior to the invasion, and what new directions for the administration have emerged? As the below assessment shows, today’s situation is dauntingly complex for President Volodymyr Zelensky to negotiate, with the revival of domestic political conflicts adding to the burdens of a wartime presidency.

Exactly four years ago, Ukrainian actor and entertainer Volodymyr Zelensky was sworn in as the nation’s sixth president. People who personally knew Zelensky have told Sputnik about his transformation from a popular comedian into a politician.

Zelensky’s ascent to power was really impressive: having zero experience in politics, the 41-year-old outperformed his rival, then-President Petro Poroshenko, by a staggering 49% margin. On May 20, 2019, Zelensky was inaugurated as the sixth president of Ukraine.

But how did Zelensky enter politics and end up in the presidential palace?
