The FBI has produced 68 pages relating to a Democrat National Committee (DNC) worker who was shot dead in 2016 in Washington, including an investigative summary that appears to suggest someone could have paid for his death.

Seth Rich, the worker, was shot dead in the early morning hours on July 16, 2016, near his home in the nation’s capital.

Friends and enemies abroad are becoming variously shocked, disheartened—and gleeful—as the United States cannibalizes itself.

By Victor Davis Hanson, AM GREATNESS

Any nation’s well-being—as Americans know from their own illustrious history—hinges on only a few factors. Its prosperity, freedom, and stability depend on its constitutional and political stability.

A secure currency and financial order are also essential, as is a strong military.

Perhaps most important, however, is a first-rate, inductive educational system. Of course, nothing is possible without general social calm, often dependent on a reverence for the past, along with present secure borders.

“Turkey is a sister country of Azerbaijan and Israel is our strategic partner. We want our friends to be friends with each other,” Hikmet Hajiyev, one of a handful of officials in Azerbaijan truly dictating Azeri foreign policy, says.

Bilateral relations between Israel and Azerbaijan have upgraded significantly over the past year. The process that saw the countries’ security, economic and social ties steadily improve ever since Azerbaijan declared independence in 1991 came to a head during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War, in which Azerbaijan secured a resounding victory.

• Mansour Abbas, 46, an Israeli Arab dentist and chairman of the Southern Branch of the Islamist Movement in Israel, secured four seats in Israel’s March 2021 Knesset elections for his Ra’am party on a platform of cooperation, integration, and normalization, in order to advance the socio-economic agenda of Israel’s Arab population – breaking with decades of Arab nationalist and Islamist rejectionist rhetoric against Israel. Mansour Abbas’ success has positioned him as a prospective kingmaker in determining Israel’s governing coalition.
• This was not a short-term tactical move. In 2020, Abbas had publicly signaled his openness to work with Zionist coalitions. Abbas’ unilateral reset reflects the spirit of the Abraham Accords, creating an internal “Abraham Effect” on Israeli Arab politics.

Israel’s delegation to Washington DC will not change the United States position on rejoining the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, the White House press secretary said in a briefing Friday.

On Monday, a high-level Israeli delegation will travel to Washington to voice objection to the US return to the Iran nuclear deal, but not to hold talks on the details. It will be headed by Mossad chief Yossi Cohen and National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat.

D. Nussbaum.  A seminal piece of information to understand why/how is it that even seemingly intelligent and educated people are willing to believe what the mainstream media, educational “authorities” and politicians tell them that is clearly contradicted by the realities going on all around them that they perceptually and cognitively “know” to be true.

In addition to the examples provided in the article, “Gaslighting” explains the previous “Creative Math” video that I sent to you last week along with the article from Bari Weiss about the parents who pulled their daughter from an elite school. Or more correctly the other parents who didn’t. It also explains how people “believe” the counterfactual notion that males can menstruate, communism is superior to capitalism, an athlete who made over $42 Million dollars over his NFL career is a “victim” of oppression, Whites are intrinsically racist even if they have behaved to the contrary throughout their lives, along with many other “narratives” within the extensive and rapidly expanding fictional “woke” library.  Please pass along.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Having used brutal force to crush nationwide demonstrations in support of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, President Vladimir Putin has now embarked on a new venture. By mobilizing a huge number of Russian forces at the eastern borders of Ukraine and in the annexed Crimea, he is refueling a conflict that has been simmering since 2014. Or is it all for show?

The Arizona forensic audit continued today at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in downtown Phoenix.

In Arizona, for months the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County have complained about calls for a forensic review of the ballots in that large and important county. The Board members claim everything was fine but they won’t allow anyone to get close to their results. They spent weeks after the election messing with ballots before they formally concluded the election results.

MSNBC “editor” Rachel Maddow spent several minutes again on Friday night nervously warning her audience about the forensic audit taking place in Arizona. Maddow is already moving on to try to delegitimize the auditors as fringe activists and conspiracy theorists. She knows and top Democrats know if this audit proceeds they will be found out.

T. Belman. Netanyahu will have to decide to take his chances on Bennett not succeeding, in which event we will be into a fifth election (polls say no change) or to resign and let the right wing form a government under a different leader.

I think Bennett’s chances are pretty good. He needs a religious party or an Arab party to form a government.

Yamina leader says ‘change bloc’ government will not be any more left-wing than coalitions Netanyahu set up with Barak, Livni; concedes it will not annex West Bank areas

Yamina leader Naftali Bennett said Friday that he was involved in intensive efforts and countless meetings to set up a national unity government, and had been working on this since coming to the conclusion that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “has no intention” of making the necessary compromises to establish a right-wing government. He said he was by no means certain that the efforts would actually bear fruit.

Postponement of the upcoming Palestinian Authority elections on 22 May for the 132 member Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) seems virtually assured with the report from an “unnamed US source” that Washington would not object to any such postponement.

We are fast becoming the Disunited Identities of America. American embassies may now fly the gay rainbow flag along with the American flag. What next? A Transgender Flag? A Black Transgender “Sex Worker” Flag? A “Palestinian” Flag? A special flag for American non-binaries and asexuals? How about separate flags for every possible ethnicity that American citizens represent? Better still, a special flag for the illegal/undocumented — they’re here, too.

They discussed Israel and believe that there is an evil deep state in Israel led by Mossad. I do not believe any of this condemnation and I have have never heard them set out the evidence that they rely on. Both Simon and Mel are Jewish.

One of the latest lies promoted by the Marxist left and their fake news media is the assertion that if you denounce open borders and the destruction of America you are racist and you support the “great replacement theory.”

Problem Rape, sexual harassment, and child abuse in the Sharia states-within-a-state.

First, Ahmad Saleem, a community organizer for CAIR in Florida, was busted after showing up to molest what he thought was a 12-year-old girl he had met over the internet. When Ahmad showed up in a car with a plate, “Invest in Children”, the cops were waiting for him instead.

The son of Pakistani immigrants had headed up the local Muslim Students Association at the University of Central Florida before moving up the ranks at CAIR. Then it was off to prison.
