A group seeking to ensure that elections are run fairly said this week that an in-depth analysis of mail-in ballot images obtained through a court order shows that the hand-count audit in Fulton County, Georgia, last year “was riddled with massive errors and provable fraud.”

The analysis turned up at least 36 batches of mail-in ballots, containing 4,255 votes, that were added redundantly to the audit results, according to Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia (VoterGA). Nearly 3,400 were for Democrat Joe Biden.

Political persecution and isolation of vast swaths of the citizenry by the Justice Department, the Intelligence Community, and the Judiciary in the wake of the January 6, 2021, Capitol incursion should bring a chill down the spine of every American. This same troika, but with different nomenclature, was mobilized by 20th Century despots to eliminate their political enemies and establish a police state.

(I attended the January 6, 2021 rally at the U.S. Capitol and observed first-hand what the media and the Democrats have falsely and with malice claimed was an “armed insurrection.”)

What is it Beijing’s leaders fear?

By Michael Ledeen, FPM

The Chinese are warning about an impending nuclear war if the United States does not cease its investigation into the origins of the COVID pandemic. They warn that the Americans must call off their probe into the sources of the disease — a warning which has prompted many American analysts to conclude that the leaders in Beijing fear discovery of the truth: that they — the Chinese Communists — are the source of the pandemic.

T. Belman. I totally agree with Jabotinsky’s two points and that Bibi adhered to them.  What I am not sure of is whether Bennett and Lapid have boxed themselves in as Netanyahu suggests. Yes, they said those things but I’m not so sure that they didn’t walk them back. A week later, YNET published Bennett: Israel will not restrain itself when defending itself.

I have no problem with us trying to convince the progressives to support us but I do have a problem with accommodating ourselves to their demands.  I worry that our left is simpatico with the left in the US.

Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid have handcuffed Israel to a policy of “no surprises” with the Biden administration and have abandoned the fight for global public opinion.

By Benjamin Netanyahu, IH

Adhering to the Jabotinsky doctrine of diplomacy would have sustained our determined, aggressive fight against the nuclear deal with Iran, but this government of concession has opted for silence instead. Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid have handcuffed Israel to a policy of “no surprises” with the Biden administration and have abandoned the fight for global public opinion. In my time we formed an iron wall, and now, in just four weeks, it has crumbled.

Archive footage and photographs preserve memories of one of the biggest single massacres of Jews during the Nazi Holocaust in a documentary premiered by Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa on Monday.

“Babi Yar. Context,” unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival, tells the story of the mass killing that marked the start of the Holocaust in occupied Soviet Ukraine, as well as surrounding events.

Israelis expect their government to pass a state budget and find solutions for the severe crises in the energy, transportation, and economic sectors, yet Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is nowhere to be found.

By  Eran Bar-Tal, ISRAEL HAYOM

One month after its inauguration, it seems the greatest advantage coalition members see in this government is its very existence.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is not very popular. He hasn’t been seen or heard much in public. He has not led efforts to tackle the most important issue this very government was formed to deal with – passing a budget and enacting economic policies. Nor is he leading efforts in other important fields like infrastructure, public transportation, and housing. We’re all familiar with the power vacuum in government ministries, but the premiership is another story.

T. Belman.. While this belief on the part of so many American Jews is due to misinformation or propaganda, it is also due to a prevalent bias in favour of the Palestinians held by so many progressive Jews. They believe that Zionism is Racism.

A sizable minority of US Jews believe the worst accusations hurled at Israel, according to a survey commissioned by the Jewish Electorate Institute.

A survey of US Jewish voters polled after May’s conflict between Israel and the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip finds that a quarter believes that Israel is “an apartheid state.”

Also, 34% believe that Israel’s treatment of Palestinians is similar to US racism and 22% believe that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians.

William M. McSwain graduated from Yale University before it rotted from the inside from political correctness, joined the Marines as an infantry officer, where he served for four years as a platoon commander, graduated from Harvard Law School (where he was a law review editor), and then joined the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He’s an intelligent, disciplined, serious law-and-order guy who is running for Governor of Pennsylvania. As part of his bid for that office, he sent a letter to President Trump with a startling allegation: Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr refused to take seriously credible allegations of election fraud!

Although the letter is dated June 9, President Trump only made it public on Monday. You can read the whole letter here but, for purposes of this post, the following is the pertinent language:

Let’s be clear, Jordan is not “Israel’s ally”.  T. Belman

Well stated! I bristle each time I hear Jordan described as being Israel’s ally and how successful their alliance has been over the years – no alliance could long be held, if ever gained, from such a line of craven brigands as devoid of any constant merit as the Hashemite family. The simple reality is that Jordan had an opportunity to be an ally, and gain a very good ally in Israel.

Unfortunately, like his father and great-grandfather, Abdullah chose less wisely, and chose a path that betrayed the relationship created with their Jewish neighbors a century ago which prevented the strength of geography and history(talking about history back in the early 1920’s just to be clear) becoming what it might have been. The treaty that everyone mistakes as an alliance should not be described as more than it is. Indeed the territory of Palestine under both the Ottomans and the British were not held separate, but had a common command and economy. Indeed, it was only in the post-Mandate period in which the great partition was made following a series of great betrayals.

On my desk is a framed political cartoon with the caption: “Burning the American Flag is a form of free speech? Try burning a rainbow flag and see if that too is considered a form of free speech?” You could replace “rainbow flag” with “BLM flag,” or even “Antifa flag.” The cartoon lances the recent rise in free-speech hypocrisy that promptly abandons the First Amendment and drums up hysterical charges of “hate speech” when certain sacred cows du jour are so much as mildly criticized.

REVOLVER       July 12, 2021

Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec is back with his newest book. The Antifa: Stories from Inside the Black Bloc (BUY IT HERE) looks at a group that has done more than any other to shape the ground tactics of the modern left, yet which remains quite mysterious thanks to the deliberate obtuseness of the professional press. Even though Antifa is present in almost every major American city and regularly riots, loots, and burns, the press has often tried to claim that Antifa doesn’t even exist.

T. Belman. At least it passed. Now we will see if it will be enforced.  Bennett: No more suitcases of cash for Hamas in Gaza.  This article highlights the problem of the financial condition of the PA and suggests we are responsible for it because we need the PA. Especially because we need the PA to be stronger than Hamas in the eyes of the Palestinians.

I disagree with this mentality. Israel should never assume the responsibility of supporting the PA. I prefer it to fall than for us to keep them alive. With all their corruption, there is no way that they will overtake Hamas among the Palestinians. In effect we are condoning the pay for slay policy of the PA. It is time that we made demands of the PA so that they no longer undermine peace.

Bennett, last I heard has also demanded the return of the two Israelis and the bodies of the two deceased Israelis to be returned. Let’s see if he stands firm.

Even though decision eventually passed, security officials warned that now is a bad time to deal a financial blow to PA, according to Walla

Defense Minister Benny Gantz, Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli, and Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz all had reservations about a security cabinet decision to withhold hundreds of millions of shekels from the Palestinian Authority to offset funds that it paid to terrorists and their families, the Walla news website reported Tuesday.

T. Belman. Let’s be clear, Jordan is not “Israel’s ally”.  Recently Edy Cohen of BESA wrote Sorry but Jordan is not a friend?  It supports a two-state solution west of the Jordan River and it supports Iranian expansion. The sooner the King abdicates, the better.

In setting out the Jordan Option I proposed that Israel provide Jordan with much more water than Bennett just did.  As I pointed out in Memo to Kushner, this water would come from a new desalination plant that Israel would build at a cost of $1.2 billion. What Bennett gave them is a drop in the bucket, so to speak.

Any one who thinks that Egypt would bring Iranian oil to the Mediterranean rather than Saudi oil, is delusional. Nothing will happen in Jordan without Saudi consent.  Rest assured that SA will not permit Jordan to kiss up to Iran. The Saudi-Jordan border is 450 miles long. SA wants to keep it peaceful.

Opposition leader claims that supplying additional water to Amman enables it to provide oil to Iran via a never-built pipeline, thus bolstering Tehran’s nuclear program

By Amy Spiro, TOI            12 July 2021, 9:09 pm

Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to accuse Israel’s ally Jordan of aiding Iran’s nuclear program via a never-implemented pipeline deal Monday.

Netanyahu’s comments were aimed at prime minister Naftali Bennett, whose government recently agreed to double the amount of water Israel exports to Jordan, which is experiencing a severe shortage.
