T. Belman.  After years of fighting against electoral fraud in the courts, without much success, and election reform in the State legislatures, again, without success, Trump is left with no alternative.  And remember, these tactics are not mutually exclusive. He must do. both,

Col Macgregor in one of his videos, said about election fraud that  its not like you can pass federal law and correct the situation because according to the constitution, each state must set its own rules, That, compounded by RINOS, is the problem

After years of assailing early voting, Donald Trump is having a change of heart.

The 2024 presidential candidate remains critical of various forms of early voting, advisers say, but his campaign is nonetheless mounting an effort to pursue such votes after Democrats excelled at doing so in recent elections. His team is studying state laws governing absentee and mail-in voting as well as ballot collection, called “ballot harvesting” by critics, in which third parties gather and turn in votes, people familiar with the effort said.

Charlie Kirk Show

A massive new report by NBC exposes the disastrous state of the GOP get-out-the-vote effort, which is low on manpower and rife with inefficiency and outright fraud. If this doesn’t change, the party will be crushed in 2024. So what do we do, right now, to keep that from happening? Charlie talks to Scott Presler and Tyler Bowyer about this crucial topic, and concludes with an exciting announcement of Turning Point Action’s planned work in the key swing state of Wisconsin.

T. Belman. In essence, this is what the left in the US did in 2016. Rather than accept the outcome of an election, which is what a democracy requires, they trash the outcome and make it difficult for the winner to govern.

Hundreds of protesters against the government’s judicial overhaul staged a fiery demonstration Tuesday morning outside Justice Minister Yariv Levin’s home, as they vowed to ramp up protests over the advancement of a bill to curb the High Court of Justice’s power to review government decisions.

• Even if the anti-Israel activists are made aware that Palestinian students living under the Palestinian Authority are being hauled off and tortured by their own leaders, they are not likely to speak out because there is no way to blame Israel or hold it responsible.
• The Palestinian Authority crackdown on students is also being ignored by the international media and human rights organizations that regularly attack Israel but indefatigably refuse to see any wrongdoing on the part of Palestinians. Many foreign journalists covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict make it their business actually to hunt for any story that reflects badly on Israel.

_{The Fourth of July is a time to reflect on what Israel can teach America about love of country.}

By Eric R. Mandel June 26, 2023 

(JNS) This June, I was privileged to hear an American lieutenant-general studying at the Israel Defense College speak about American patriotism and the lack thereof. He said he was saddened that he recently read that less than a third of young Americans are proud to be citizens of the United States.

Indeed, a March poll taken by The Wall Street Journal revealed that only 23% of Americans aged 18-29 say patriotism is important to them. Of all adults, only 38% said, “Patriotism was very important, down from 70% in 1998.” Americans place “low importance on these values, many of which were central to their parents’ lives.”

“To turn against Israel, to join our ideological opponents and political enemies castigating Zionism – is a sign of Jewish illness:” Important speech of Rabbi Ammi Hirsch >> pic.twitter.com/zhmraNWnhv

Some time over the last two decades, it has become fashionable to bash Israel. This Reform Rabbi’s speech will most definitely get under the skin of anyone who’s idea of being Jewish is to side with those who are working every day to destroy the State of Israel.

T. Belman. Given the PA pay for slay policy, why is Bibi supporting it financially. The more they rebel, the more they will be crushed. At least he said that a Palestinian State west of the Jordan R.

Yoni ben Menachem was wrong about who will lead the PA.

T. Belman. Every time Israel is naughty and moves the settlement project ahead or fights terror, the US is sure to denounce  her. The more they denounce us the more the more their denunciations are meaningless. Their bark is worse then their bite. So keep irritating them.

CJV, largest rabbinic public policy forum in the world, strongly condemns Biden admin for not inviting Min. Smotrich and Ben Gvir to July 4th fete at US Embassy.

Israel National News

The Coalition for Jewish Values, consisting of over 2000 Orthodox rabbis in the US, with branches in Israel, Europe and Oceania, came out strongly against the Biden Administration’s decision not to invite right-wing party Ministers Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionism) and Itamar Ben Gvir (Otzma Yehudit) to the annual July 4th celebration to be held at the US Embassy in Jerusalem on July 3rd.

This article explains the Russia I believe you do not understand.

Prigozhin’s Mutiny Is the Beginning of Putin’s End

Nobody in Russia understands what the war in Ukraine is about. And now, nobody knows if that war is coming to them.

By Lucian Kim, a global fellow with the Wilson Center in Washington and NPR’s former Moscow bureau chief.

I intended to post the whole article but first I wanted to read or watch a few others. One of the reasons I didn’t like the article was because I noticed many articles from the west that suggested variants of the same thing, namely that this is the beginning of the end to Putin’s reign.. I didn’t see it that way. As always, I found Col Macgregor believable. The meaning of Prigozhin’s short-lived mutiny in Russia.  It’s the best but you won’t like the interviewer and Russian Rebellion & the Ukraine War w/Col Doug Macgregor

(JNS) It was just another day at the United Nations. But, instead of its usual business being simply more evidence of the way the virus of anti-Semitism has injected itself into just about everything that within its purview, it recently supplied us with an additional insight. A vote in one of the General Assembly’s committees provided proof that the idealization of the embattled government of Ukraine is somewhat disconnected from reality.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday night met with Justice Minister Yariv Levin (Likud), Minister in the Justice Ministry Dudi Amsalem (Likud), and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer (Likud) to discuss continued efforts to advance the judicial reform.

Channel 12 News reported that in the current meeting, it was decided to focus only on reducing reasonability. Only after this step has been completed will additional steps in the reform’s legislation be discussed.

Ehud Yaari’s “How Israel Lost the Syrian War” in The Jerusalem Strategic Tribune provides unequaled insight into Israel’s and other states’ actions during the  Syrian civil war. He describes Israel’s tactical successes, noting that IRGC Leader Suleimani’s “original plan [to set up a major new rocket and missile front aimed at Israel] for now is on hold,” and that Israeli intelligence believes that Israel has taken down 80-90% of Iran’s military presence threatening Israel in Syria.  Yet, he goes on, Assad’s survival, “closely allied with Iran, amounts to nothing short of an Israeli strategic failure.”

On June 17, 1967, today 55 years ago, then Israeli Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan solely made one of the most important and fateful decisions in the history of the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Just days after the end of the Six Day War, Dayan agreed to establish the new “Status Quo” regarding the Temple Mount. Fearing open discussion about his decision, Dayan’s agreement was not positively ratified by Israel’s government of the day or by any government since.

A day after Russian mercenaries turned on Vladimir Putin in what could become a pivotal moment in the war, Kyiv attacks Israel for not taking a more forceful stand. Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel to be summoned for a reprimand over his “harsh” rhetoric..

 By  David Baron, IH 25.6.23

The Ukrainian Embassy in Israel attacked Jerusalem on Sunday for not taking a more forceful stance against Russia, a day after a short-lived mutiny by the mercenary Wagner Group humiliated the Kremlin.

The embassy, which echoed a similar attack by Ukrainian officials over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not visiting the war-torn country to show solidarity, said that it was disappointed by the Israeli government’s apparent growing support for Moscow and for allegedly making up excuses not to stand by Kyiv.

Why are more consumers not thinking about how this will hand the keys of tyranny over to technocrats already in love with lockdowns and surveillance tools?

There’s a hidden motive behind the movement to transition Americans out of their gas-powered vehicles and into electric cars.

Not only are electric cars more expensive, meaning that fewer people will be able to afford to drive in the years ahead. But electric cars also mean the end of the gas tax, which is what funds road maintenance and other projects in all 50 states.

Nobody is talking about this. But the new tax plan will mark the end of your freedom of movement, your right to move about anonymously, and the beginning of government tracking of your every move.

Thomas Nides is the American Ambassador to Israel. He has not exactly endeared himself to the Israelis in the little more than two years he’s been in their country, for he has a supercilious habit of telling them what he, the grand panjandrum and viceroy from Washington, thinks they should do. More on this stumble-bumbling Mr. Buttinsky can be found in this article from March that retains its relevance: “A Bumbling Ambassador in Israel,” by Jerold Auerbach, Algemeiner, March 3, 2023:

T. Belman. I have further edited the sub-titles to give you a more coherent reading of what was said. I did so because I believe my remarks are noteworthy.

It is my pleasure and honor to welcome you here to this historic event. The conference will be seen as the beginning of the end of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and hopefully the beginning of the Jordanian presidency of my friend Mudar Zahran.

I met Mudar shortly after making Aliyah some eight years ago and worked with him during those years to pursue and perfect his plans. Mudar wanted to become president of Jordan because he wanted to serve his people, the Palestinians.

There is no moral equivalence whatsoever between Palestinian terrorists and Israeli troops. Falsely balanced diplomatic formulations like those that “call upon all sides to end the cycle of violence” must be rejected.

By  David M. Weinberg, IH 23.6.23

As is his usual rotten wont, UN Middle East envoy Tor Wennesland this week condemned the “continuing cycle of violence” in Judea and Samaria, as if Israel and the Palestinians each were cavalierly engaging in murder just for fun or out of comparable burning hatred.

Even US Ambassador Tom Nides seemed to draw a parallel between the gruesome Palestinian attack near Eli (where two Palestinian terrorists gunned down four Israeli civilians in a restaurant), and the Palestinian bystanders killed in a shootout between IDF soldiers and the terrorists they were seeking during an arrest raid in Jenin.
