Former President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump opened 2023 by offering his explanation for why Republicans won fewer seats than expected in November’s midterm elections. As Leah noted yesterday, Trump began his ‘Truth’ Social message with “it’s not my fault,” then proceeded to lay blame at the feet of pro-life voters and the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Here’s the post itself, followed by commentary:

Forget for a second the long-term significance and potential ramifications of the latest UN move to refer Israel’s “occupation, settlement and annexation of Palestinian territory” to the International Court of Justice for an advisory opinion.
It was clear once the resolution was brought to the UN it would pass, the only question was by how large a margin. For most people, all of these anti-Israel resolutions, after a while, seem the same and fade into the generic haze of “the UN is against us.”
The Iranian regime has ‘lost control of the universities’ and says ‘the young are speaking a language we don’t understand’, according to leaked documents seen by MailOnline.

Russia has said that 63 of its troops were killed during a Ukrainian New Year’s Eve attack on a makeshift barracks in the partly-occupied Donetsk region.
The ministry said in a statement on Monday that Ukraine’s military had launched six projectiles at the “provisional base” in the eastern city of Makiivka using the HIMARS guided rocket system supplied by the United States.
T. Belman. In addition to these two challenges, this government is committed to seizing Area C for Israel which includes massive building there and destroying illegal Arab construction.
Although Bibi has a veto on some of Smotrich’s plans, he won’t be able to restrain him entirely. It remains to be seen to what extent Bibi restrains himself or Smotrich for that matter.
Amid the brouhaha of the past several days as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put the final touches on his government, he also set his sights on two major personal foreign policy goals. The first is his life’s mission – to stop the Iranian nuclear project. The second – to strike a peace accord with Saudi Arabia and thus put a practical end to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Distrust in the justice system over its refusal to stop voter disenfranchisement is spiraling after Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson dismissed Kari Lake’s lawsuit challenging the results of Arizona’s botched midterm election, where Democrat Katie Hobbs was declared the winner. Hobbs was losing in almost every MSM poll and didn’t bother to debate Lake, prompting one of the most prominent progressive journalists in the state to denounce her hiding in her basement as “political malpractice.” Hobbs was such an unremarkable candidate that she has only 177k Twitter followers to Lake’s 834k followers, over 400% fewer.
Unfortunately she died in 2000.

WHAT ARE IMPLICATIONS FOR ISRAEL
STRAITS TIMES

After a series of American objections to Israeli policies (culminating in the annexation of the Golan Heights more than forty years ago) led to protests and suspensions of signed agreements with Israel, Prime Minister Menahem Begin called in US Ambassador Samuel Lewis and gave him a tongue-lashing:
“Are we a vassal state? Are we a banana republic? Are we 14-year-old boys who have to have knuckles slapped if they misbehave?” And Mr. Begin continued: “You cannot and will not frighten us with punishments… Threats will fall on deaf ears… We shall not allow a sword of Damocles to hang over our heads. The People of Israel have lived for 3,700 years without a strategic agreement with America, and will continue to live without it for another 3,700 years.”\

On 18 November 2022, Jordan’s king’s son and Crown Prince, Hussein, paid a visit to the wake of Abdul Majeed Thunibat, former leader of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood. The visit was highly publicized by the state-controlled Jordanian media. The story about the visit of condolences was a front page item in most Jordanian daily papers and on all Jordanian news sites. The king and his son were shoving the visit in everyone’s faces.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government being sworn in, Thursday.
A decade ago, the documentary filmmaker Dror Moreh used the term “gatekeeper” to describe the role of six former heads of the Shin Bet security service in protecting Israeli democracy from terror threats and, paradoxically, from the ethical consequences of the war on terror. The use of the term in Israel has expanded since then, and is often invoked in regard to the struggle to maintain the independence of the legal system.

An exchange ceremony was held today (Sunday) at the Ministry of Construction and Housing between outgoing minister Ze’ev Elkin and Yitzhak Goldknopf of the UTJ.
At the ceremony, Goldknopf explained his statement that there is supposedly, “no housing crisis in Israel.” In addition, he detailed plans for solving the said crisis, which would include building in Judea and Samaria and providing benefits to IDF veterans.
D. Nussbaum. Santa Klaus Schwab and what his Globalist/Green/Woke wind-ups have planned and are implementing behind almost everyone’s back, deliberately not publishing all of what they plan for society on Mainstream Media. Elon Musk’s recent Twitter revalations are an example of the collusion between Globalist politicians and Globalist media giants in censoring important information that counters the elites’ narrative to short-circuit democracy. For the skeptics, go onto the World Economic Forum, look at their Leadership, Young Leaders, and groups they support to destroy independent countries from within. This is not information acquired from a “rightwing” source. It is from their own organizational Website. You can believe tyrants when the inform their “True Believers” what they plan to do. You can look around to see what they have done already.

This newsletter publicizes new Israeli therapies that allow us to look forward to eradicating solid tumors; to safer spine operations; to printing spare parts for the eye and other organs; and the elimination of pathogens altogether.
We anticipate the future success of the Technion’s new sustainable research program; the worldwide adoption of Israeli drought-resistant crops; reduced food waste thanks to Israeli bio-friendly fruit preservation; and less vital resources spent on raising animals for their meat, thanks to Israeli plant-based alternatives. The Israeli economy looks to have a bright future, with dozens of Israeli companies understanding the importance of partnerships to develop and implement new technologies; building more Israeli homes; new Israeli airline routes; and investment from novel international sources.
