Raheem Kassam’s Substack, NATIONAL PULSE

President Donald J. Trump has released one of the strongest denunciations of U.S. establishment foreign policy and the apparatus at the heart of it, since Eisenhower’s 1961 warning, The National Pulse can exclusively report.

“World War III has never been closer than it is right now,” the 45th President warns, before going on to make a series of policy promises about completing the mission of reforming Washington that his administration began in 2016.

The Knesset early Tuesday passed, in the first of three readings, a first and significant bill in the divisive effort by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hard-right coalition to overhaul Israel’s judiciary. It did so in the face of bitter opposition criticism and after tens of thousands of anti-reform protesters gathered outside the parliament’s Jerusalem gates.

The vote was 63 in favor and 47 against, with no abstentions, although some lawmakers boycotted the vote. The legislation now returns to the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee for preparation for its second and third readings, which are expected by the end of March.

Postponing the Negev 2 Conference of the Abrahamic States until further notice until the birth of the new Jordan this year. The reason is that the Hashemite government has ended its political function and it cannot be invited to this conference, just like the Munich Conference on International Security, which was not attended by the first or second ranks of the Hashemite government, and only there were delegates from the deep state in the Jordanian state, which is the intelligence institution in the Jordanian army, which is recognized by the capitals the decision… https://t.co/7d1Rm2n4qO

_{The age of the apologetic Jew is over.}

By Hillel Fuld,     December 26, 2022 

(JNS) For many years, I have felt something that made no sense to me, but I felt it very strongly.

The feeling was that Jews around the world who blatantly support our enemies are worse than our enemies themselves.

There are many examples of this, but to keep it simple, I’m talking about Jews who are ashamed of their identity, Israelis who are ashamed of their country and the combination of the two: Jews who are ashamed of their country and Israelis who are ashamed of their Jewish identity.

Jack Posobiec is joined by the Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald to discuss the crumbling systems of our society and whether or not they’re caused by diversity, equity and inclusion. They dive deep into the Tyre Nichols tragedy and conversation surrounding his brutal passing, discussing the Memphis Police Department’s affirmative action hiring strategies as well as solutions that can result in both merit and excellence for the United States.

Beginning in March 2020, many bad decisions were made that will impact untold numbers of young people for the rest of their lives.

There has been nothing but awful news about the unnecessary Covid-related shutdown of American schools. Study after study and a mass of anecdotal evidence show the harm done by the forced lockdowns.

Yet more research, released in January, extends the grim scenario. A meta-analysis of 42 studies across 15 countries assessed the magnitude of learning deficits during the pandemic, and finds “a substantial overall learning deficit…which arose early in the pandemic and persists over time. Learning deficits are particularly large among children from low socio-economic backgrounds.”

Academia is the cancer at the heart of our national miseries.

By David Horowitz, FPM   21.22.23

In the news reports about the anti-police mayhem by young people in Austin Texas, one common element is missing: the obvious fact that Austin is a college town, home to one of America’s once-great educational institutions.

This fact is not peripheral to the outbreak of lawlessness that tore apart Austin that night but central. Like virtually every major academic institution in America, the University of Texas, is a bastion of anti-American, anti-police, anti-white hatreds, and has been so since conservatives were purged from its liberal arts faculties beginning in the 1970s, to be replaced by ideologues rather than scholars, whose agendas were and remain not scholarly but political.

The terrorists want to chase Israel off this land; in response, Israel should lay stakes on more land each time they fire a shot.

Foreign ministers of four European countries and Canada joined the US last Tuesday in opposing a decision by the Netanyahu government to regularize the status of nine Israeli towns in Judea and Samaria (“Jewish settler outposts in the occupied West Bank”), and to build some 10,000 more homes (“settler units”) over the coming decade.

The foreign ministers said that they “strongly oppose unilateral actions which will only serve to exacerbate tensions between Israelis and Palestinians and undermine efforts to achieve a negotiated two-state solution.”

‘This time Netanyahu is helpless in the face of Ben-Gvir and Smotrich’s demands.’ PM urging top brass to rein his own ‘extremist’ ministers.

Israel National News

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has recruited senior Israeli security officials for his bid to rein in nationalist members of his coalition government, Ma’ariv reported Tuesday morning.

Citing officials privy to the details of Netanyahu’s conversations with top security brass, the report claims that the prime minister has placed ongoing pressure on senior security officials to challenge “the extremists in the government,” with a particular emphasis on National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir (Otzma Yehudit) and Minister in the Defense Ministry and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich (Religious Zionist Party).

“The future of the Global Order is being decided.”

The Real Politick with Mark Sleboda

My longform discussion on Press TV’s Insight with Sam Torabi 20/02/23

by Steve Kramer

Israel has not achieved a clear cut victory over its existential antagonist, the Palestinian Arabs. That’s right, NO EXISTENTIAL VICTORY yet. In fact, the last clear battlefield victory against the Palestinian Arabs was more than twenty years ago. Why existential? Because our enemy wants to erase the Jewish State from the globe and replace it with a Palestinian Arab terror state, such as we see today in Gaza. Israel’s government needs to instill this realistic fact into the mindset of our Western allies, plus those Israelis and other individuals who have yet to realize it.

After a recent visit to Israel, we’re deeply concerned by the unprecedented degree of tension and sheer animosity permeating the political arena.

As friends of Israel rather than Israeli citizens, we do not seek to intervene on any partisan basis, but to sound the alarm about the very real potential for Israel’s enemies to exploit the current rhetoric and do harm to the country as a whole.
