HISTORY CRUNCH

Benito Mussolini was the fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 until his death in 1945.  As such, he led Italy during the major years of World War II.  Today, Mussolini is remembered for establishing the first fascist movement in the world.  In fact, he seized power over Italy in 1922 following his ‘March on Rome’, which was a violent takeover of the government.  Further to this, Mussolini allied his country with Nazi Germany and its leader Adolf Hitler during World War II.  It should also be noted that Mussolini, and his fascist movement in Italy, inspired Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.  Hitler even modeled aspects of his government after Mussolini’s.  Because of this, Mussolini is one of the most famous dictators of the 20th century.\?

What we used to know as “hate speech” is now presidentially acceptable speech, and what has followed from it is no surprise.

By Victor Davis Hanson, AM GREATNESS  29.9.22

It has been a canard of the Left that “words matter.” We are lectured that “hate speech” leads inevitably to street violence.

So how ironic that the Left defames nearly half of America as dangerous “semi-fascist” extremists, white-raged and privileged, ultra MAGA, and guilty of all sorts of thought crimes from secession to civil insurrection? And what is the result?

Does this constant demonization matter? And what are the bitter fruits of such labors? After all, what did Barack Obama long ago mean by “clingers” or once Hillary Clinton by “deplorables”  and “irredeemables”?

On September 13, in Tehran, Iran, the Morality Police took Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, into custody for incorrectly tying her hijab. Eyewitnesses said they saw her being beaten with a baton as she was shoved into a van. Three days later, she was dead. The police announced that she had died of a heart attack; her family was quick to say that Amini was in perfect health. At once protests prompted by her death began in Tehran and in the Kurdish cities, led by women who pulled off, and then ripped up or burned, their hated hijabs, and symbolically cut off their hair. And the protests that began with fury over the Morality Police have spread, and new grievances have been added.

Few people in America, with the exception of longtime readers of the Geller Report and other censored freedom-loving websites, may recognize the plaintive wails for freedom that are currently being sounded in Iran.  Yet we have seen this before.  And each time, the West, led by a Democrat president, has aided and abetted the brutal crackdown on brave young people (led by women) dying, quite literally, to be free.  Joe Biden is doing the same thing now that Barack Obama did years ago: ignoring the Iranians putting their lives on the line for freedom.  It’s nothing short of shameful.

ROME (AFP) — Italians began voting Sunday in an election expected to usher in the country’s first government led by the far-right since World War II, bringing eurosceptic populists to the heart of Europe.

The Brothers of Italy party, led by one-time Mussolini supporter Giorgia Meloni, is leading opinion polls and looks set to take office in a coalition with the far-right League and Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia parties.

Under Netanyahu, Israel’s foreign policy was based not on US dependence but on Israeli economic and military power. The results speak for themselves. The results of the Gantz-Lapid US-reliant appeasement policies also speak for themselves. 

By Caroline Glick

(JNS) Caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid and his supporters in the media went berserk Tuesday after Opposition Leader Benjamin Netanyahu spoke out against the gas deal the Biden administration is mediating between Israel and Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon.

Since Hezbollah launched two drones against Israel’s Karish gas platform in July, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has repeatedly threatened to blow up Karish if Israel brings Karish online without first surrendering to Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon large swathes of sovereign Israeli land underneath Israel’s recognized maritime economic zone, including the Qana gas field.

“The Left’s view of America was encapsulated in then presidential candidate Barak Obama’s statement in 2008. ‘We are 5 days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America,’ he said.” [Dennis Prager].

After Russia announced partial mobilization, which effectively doubled the Russian forces to be engaged in Ukraine, politicians, government officials, and analysts proclaimed that the action was a sign of Russian failure, weakness, and desperation. Be that as it may, the West once again has demonstrated aloofness from history and a refusal to face the reality that regardless of the amounts of weaponry, international sanctions, and billions in financial assistance, the West cannot defeat Russia. Hitler couldn’t do it. Embracing unrealistic expectations will inevitably lead to complete distraction and eventual dismemberment of Ukraine.

• [M]ore than a year and half of negotiations seems to have benefited no one except the ruling and Islamist mullahs of Iran. The endless negotiations seem simply to have bought time for the mullahs, so that they could comfortably advance their nuclear program to their highest level ever. Not only has the Biden administration seen no urgency to change its disastrous path, it is actually redoubling efforts to for Iran talks, presumably after America’s mid-term election on November 8.

Angry demonstrators have taken to the streets of major cities across Iran, including the capital Tehran, for eight straight nights since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.

T. Belman. Sa’ar is 100% wrong is rejecting the supremacy of the Knesset over the High Court. He argues that a democracy requires checks and balances so the Knesset shouldn’t have authority over the election of Judges. In the US, the President appoints the judges subject to the approval of the Senate. What Netanyahu wants is for the Knesset to approve judges.

Secondly he he totally rejects the overrule by 61 MKs in  the Knesset. Perhaps he is right to say its too easy but in all democracies, the legislature passes laws and the courts interpret them according to the intention of the legislature when passing them. In Israel the High Court has appropriated too much power to legislate. It dictates to the Knesset what kind of country Israel should be i.e. a country of all its citizens. It also took the position that everything is justiciable and anyone can apply to the court. I would prefer that the wings of the Court be clipped thereby reducing their authority. In such a case, the Knesset will still need an override. That’s checks and balances.

POLITICAL AFFAIRS: Sa’ar said Netanyahu wants to make election of Israeli judges require Knesset approval, making it part of coalition negotiations.

By YONAH JEREMY BOB, ELIAV BREUER

JUSTICE MINISTER Gideon Sa’ar. We support settlement where it is legal. This is an important distinction, because today there are extremists that have different approaches.

If opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu becomes prime minister and his policies are enacted, Israel will no longer be a liberal democracy and will instead become an “authoritarian democracy,” according to Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar.

This, more than anything else, is what is at stake in the upcoming election, and Sa’ar, in an exclusive interview with The Jerusalem Post in his sprawling office at the Justice Ministry in Jerusalem, is seriously worried.

Washington D.C. (September 23, 2022) | Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement after Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy announced the Republican’s Commitment to America plan:

“Today, Congressional Republicans are unveiling our plan to address the issues and return to a nation that is free, safe, and full of opportunity, with a government that is accountable to the people. Our ‘Commitment to America’ acknowledges the struggles hardworking Americans are facing every day and lays out a plan of common sense solutions to fix these problem. Our plan includes legislative policies to restore America’s energy independence, stop wasteful government spending, secure our southern border, support law enforcement, and ensure parents are given a voice in their kids’ education.
