From Washington to Jerusalem, the conspiracies are unravelling  

Looking at the trial of attorney Michael Sussman, who represented Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, from Israel, it is impossible not to draw parallels to the trial of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In the US as in Israel, the polarization between Left and Right grows from day to day. Our societies have never been more divided. A chief source of the social and ideological divide is the politicization of our countries’ legal systems. Over the past generation, leftist ideologues seized control over our state prosecution and law enforcement agencies and transformed our institutions of law into arms of the political Left.

Congressional resolutions honor and commemorate, condemn, and even bluster. Rarely do they endorse a false conception of history as a means of conducting political warfare against an American ally.

House Resolution 1123, introduced by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), does just that. It also serves as an ominous warning about the future of the wider Democratic Party as its progressive wing organizes and grows in anticipation of a changing of the guard.

Barr: US Legal System Is ‘Rigged Against Republicans’  

By Rita Li, EPOCH TIMES    June 3/22

Former Attorney General William Barr called the Russiagate “a dirty political trick” against former President Donald Trump and criticized the justice system as “rigged” to target Republicans.

“I thought we were heading into a constitutional crisis,” Barr told conservative talk radio host Glenn Beck in a recent episode, after being asked about his return to politics between 2019 and 2020. Barr then brought up the Russia probe against Donald Trump, the second president he served as the attorney general after George H.W. Bush.

In his upcoming end of the month trip to the Middle East, President Joe Biden is expected to announce the agreement and praise the two countries for their cooperation. This agreement is sure to generate praise from many in the Middle East and international community as Israel and Saudi Arabia inch closer to full normalization.

Jerusalem – in whose hands is it?   

by Steve Kramer

On Sunday, May 29, 2022 Israel commemorated Jerusalem Day, marking 55 years since the Israeli forces (IDF) liberated the Old City from the 19-year Jordanian occupation of 1948-1967. Jerusalem has been celebrated by Jews as their capital and most singular city for more than 3,000 years, ever since King David proclaimed it the capital for all 12 tribes of the Children of Israel. Jerusalem Day celebrates the unification of the city after the ouster of the British-led Jordanian Legion, which had gained control of Israel’s holiest site, the Temple Mount and surroundings, during Israel’s 1948 War of Independence against five invading Arab armies hoping to “Drive the Jews into the sea…”

Diversity Is Our Strength, You Christo-Fascist!  

Does anyone who doesn’t live in a gated community or who can’t afford private security guards really believe that diversity is a virtue?

By 

Following the leak of the draft Supreme Court’s upcoming decision on abortion, first-year Yale Law School student Shyamala Ramakrishna referred to members of the Federalist Society as “Christo-fascists.”

The Washington Free Beacon added nonchalantly, “Some of her classmates were less moderate.” You might agree. The Free Beacon quoted another first-year student, Melisa Olgun, as saying: “Neither the constitution nor the courts—nor the f—ing illusion of ‘democracy’—are going to save us. How can we possibly expect a document, drafted by wealthy, white, landowning men, to protect those who face marginalization that is the direct result of the very actions of the founders?”

Stacked Jury Acquits Hillary Clinton Campaign Operative  

But Durham probe is still exposing the Clinton campaign’s Russian collusion hoax.

By Joseph Klein, FPM    June 3/22

Juries play a crucial role in America’s justice system. The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution guarantees in all criminal prosecutions that “the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” In both criminal and civil trials, the jurors are the fact finders, who are expected to fulfill this responsibility impartially and to reach their respective decisions based solely on the evidence presented to them in court. However, while juries often reach reasonable verdicts, jurors sometimes go rogue.

Biden Is No Friend of Israel  

by Con Coughlin, GATESTONE  •  June 3, 2022

  • The real crime, one that represents a serious breach of the long-standing intelligence-sharing arrangements between the US and Israel, is that one of President Joe Biden’s senior officials has been willing to betray the trust of such a close ally.
  • At a time when tensions are already running high between Iran and the West over the stalled nuclear talks, there are quite justifiable concerns in Israel that the leak will prompt Iran to exact revenge by attacking Israeli targets, even if it later transpires that Israel was not responsible for the assassination.

America continues to appease the Palestinians  

That train has left the station. Someone tell the Biden team

By Melanie Phillips

Palestinian Arabs throw rocks at bus taking visitors to Old City, Jerusalem

The Biden administration’s obsession with boosting the Palestinian cause at the expense of Israel continues apace.

It was reported last week that the administration had reluctantly abandoned its proposal to re-open the Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem.

In 2019, former US president Donald Trump had closed the consulate down. Israel objected to the American plan to re-open it, on the basis that a mission serving Palestinian Arabs that operated from Israeli territory was an encroachment on Israeli sovereignty.

Why does Biden keep on poking the Russian bear?  

By Francis P. Sempa, AM THINKER

In what is becoming a routine occurrence with this White House, President Biden says one thing, and the next day the White House “walks back” the president’s statement, and then the president follows up confirming the “walk back.”  If the American people find all of this confusing, just imagine what our allies and adversaries are thinking.  And in the midst of a war, such confusion can be downright dangerous.

A cabinency of dunces  

By Victor Davis Hanson, JWR

As the nation sinks inexplicably into self-created crisis after crisis, debate rages whether President Joe Biden is incompetent, mean-spirited, or an ideologue who feels the country’s mess is his success.

A second national discussion revolves around who actually is overseeing the current national catastrophe, given Biden’s frequent bewilderment and cognitive challenges.

Israel, US pledge economic, diplomatic and military coordination to stop Iran nukes  

T. Belman.  Such meetings and expressions of solidarity are meaningless so long as the US continues to negotiate with and appease Iran to get a meaningless deal.  And also so long as the US still supports the TSS and the division of Jerusalem.

Meeting of national security advisers at White House comes a day after massive Israeli air force drill to simulate striking Iranian nuclear facilities; US denies taking part

National Security Council chairman Eyal Hulata and his US counterpart Jake Sullivan met Wednesday in Washington for talks largely focused on Iran, with the two pledging economic, diplomatic, and military coordination to stop Teheran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

“The officials committed to coordinate on efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and toward deterring Iran’s aggressive regional activities,” said a joint statement after a meeting at the White House of the US-Israel Strategic Consultative Group.

Brandon Straka: Jan. 6 Confession Was Made Under Pressure of Facing Charges With Long Prison Term  

JUSTICE A LA SOVIET UNION

By Ella Kietlinska and Joshua Philipp, EPOCH TIMES

Brandon Straka, a conservative activist, was confronted with a choice between pleading guilty to a crime he did not commit and facing serious charges with a long prison term related to the Jan. 6 Capitol rally. He chose to accept the plea deal because he felt he would not get a fair trial.

On Jan. 6, 2021, after then-President Donald Trump addressed the rally at the Ellipse, a park near the White House, Straka walked to U.S. Capitol where he was supposed to give a speech at an event planned to take place on the east side of the building, Straka recollected of that day.

Liberating our Jerusalem  

Confronting the forgotten history of Muslim occupation of Israel.

By Daniel Greenfield, FPM

When Jordan’s Arab Legion seized half of Jerusalem, ethnically cleansed its Jewish population and annexed the city– the only entity to recognize the annexation was the United Kingdom which had provided the officers and the training that made the conquest possible. Officers like Colonel Bill Newman, Major Geoffrey Lockett and Major Bob Slade, under Glubb Pasha, better known as General John Bagot Glubb, whose son later converted to Islam, invaded Jerusalem and used the Muslim forces under their command to make the partition and ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem possible.

US “foreign aid” to Israel – a mega billion $ bonanza for the US  

Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought: a US-Israel Initiative”

The US does not extend foreign aid to Israel. Rather, the US makes an annual investment in Israel, which yields to the American taxpayer an annual R-O-I (Return-On-Investment) of several hundred percent.  Is that a valid statement?* While Israel is a most grateful recipient of a few hundred US military systems, it serves as the battle-tested, cost-effective laboratory of the US defense and aerospace industries, which employ – directly and indirectly – 3.5 million Americans.
