Jordan ‘coup’ no danger to Israel, but simmering discontent with king may be  

Behind the palace intrigue between Abdullah and his half-brother are real frustrations among Jordanians toward a regime that Jerusalem sees as a key security bulwark

Jordan has been gripped by rare palace intrigue since King Abdullah’s half-brother Prince Hamzah was placed under house arrest on Saturday, accused of plotting a coup.

The dramatic and very public episode — which appears to be drawing to a close — is a potential source of significant concern for Israel, which considers the stability of the Hashemite kingdom a central plank of its national security doctrine.

INTO THE FRAY: Jordan’s “House of Cards”–The implications for Israel  

T. Belman.  Sherman is right of course in advocating for Israel’s continued ownership of Judea and Samaria but is wrong to suggest that Jordan is a “conservative pro-Western” monarchy. Currently Jordan is aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood who have their Head Office there. They are also aligned with Turkey, Qatar and Iran even though it is subsidized by Saudi Arabia and the United States. Thus it is likely that if the King falls, it will be Iran that takes over.  Unfortunately that aligns Jordan with the Biden administration which is looking to follow in Obama’s footsteps.  The Hashemites depend on the two state solution so that Jordan doesn’t become the Palestinian state.

Mudar Zahran is advocating the Jordan become the Palestinian state. And he would be very pro-Western and pro Abrahamic Accords.

By MARTIN SHERMAN

Israel could face a situation, where along its lengthiest border, there would no longer be a conservative, pro-Western monarchy, but an extreme Muslim regime, with incandescent hostility towards the Jewish state

There is nothing certain, but the uncertain. ~ Traditional Proverb.

Incoming media reports from Jordan indicate that the clash within the royal family earlier this week has now been resolved…or quashed.

The Election Audits Are The Key To Bringing Back America  

The Biden Regime Is About To Be Delegitimized, And They Know It.

by L Todd Wood, CD MEDIA 

There is a LOT of political noise out there right now. From illegitimate Biden’s spending, starting a war with Russia in Ukraine, appeasing Iran, and kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party, it’s easy to get lost in the horrific OBiden daily news cycle.

However, there is one truth we must keep at the forefront in our fight to restore the American republic — the election audits in the fraud states are the way forward.

Muslim Children the World Over, Indoctrinated in Hate  

T. Belman.  This is timely as the Biden Administration has began funding UNRWA and the PA again to the tune of $235 million, ignoring that they both teach Arab children to kill Jews.

by Raymond Ibrahim, GATESTONE INSTITUTE

Documentary filmmaker Alan Duncan recently visited the al-Hawl refugee camp in northeastern Syria, where children “are training … for future jihad.”

Boys throughout the Muslim world are increasingly indoctrinated into becoming super jihadis: ISIS 2.0. The news is coming in fast from a variety of sources.

Sidney Powell’s Legal Defense Dominates Dominion  

T. Belman.  On April 8/21, Wendi Strauch Mahoney, wrote Why Context Matters: Sidney Powell’s Motion

“Lately, Sidney Powell has been widely misunderstood because the media, and some in the political arena, have cleverly edited language. This article will be limited in scope, and is a companion piece to the brilliantly written UncoverDC article below. His article is fulsome and explains the details of her Motion to Dismiss the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against her far better than I can.“

By Mackenzie Bettle, UncoverDC      -March 31, 2021

The supreme “Art of War” is to subdue your enemy without fighting; it means having the ability to set an inescapable trap – enabling the ability to annihilate the enemy. In fictional novels, the process can be analogized to a successfully foreshadowed climax. Some only see the strategy set up in hindsight.

Democrat-run House Foreign Affairs Committee erases Jews from Yom HaShoah  

T. Belman. For many decades the left, including American Jews, have universalized the Holocaust to the effect that its not a stand alone Jewish tragedy that we should remember, but all holocausts. Even Holocaust Museums are dedicated to all holocausts.

Statement also spells Holocaust with a lowercase H and fails to mention anti-Semitism while referencing “prejudice and injustice.”

By Dan Verbin, INN

Holocaust survivor

The Democratic Party controlled House Foreign Affairs Committee released a Yom HaShoah statement that omitted reference to the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust and spelled Holocaust with a lowercase H.

The statement also mentioned prejudice but failed to specifically mention antisemitism or Jew hate.

Smotrich’s proposal: Yariv Levin replaces Netanyahu as prime minister  

T. Belman. I fully support his proposal. Bibi must step down and run for President.

Religious Zionism chairman says Netanyahu stepping down as PM to be president preferable to forming government with ‘terror supporters.’

By Arutz Sheva Staff , Apr 08 , 2021 6:28 PM

Bezalel Smotrich

MK Bezalel Smotrich, chairman of the ‘Religious Zionism’ party, proposed a solution to the political stalemate which could cause Israel to initiate a fifth election: Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stepping down to run for president and Likud Minister Yariv Levin being appointed prime minister in his place.

U.S. Jewish Organizations Decry ‘Despicable’ anti-Arab Remarks From Netanyahu Ally  

Jewish groups issue sharp rebukes after Bezalel Smotrich says that Arabs who do not recognize Jewish rule over Israel ‘will not remain here’

By Ben Samuels, HAARETZ

Bezalel Smotrich in Jerusalem last week.

WASHINGTON – Several unabashedly pro-Israel U.S. Jewish organizations decried far-right lawmaker Bezalel Smotrich’s remarks stating that he would ensure Arabs who do not recognize the Jewish people’s legitimate rule over the Land of Israel “will not remain here.”

After restoring aid to Palestinians, Biden endorses two-state solution ansd restores aid to UNRWA  

T. Belman. Very regressive. I have long believed that there is no diplomatic solution because no agreement satisfactory to both was possible. Biden/Obama solution supports endless conflict.

Trump was on the right track by undermining the Palestinian national cause by withdrawing aid from them including UNRWA.  He also removed Jerusalem and UNRWA as final status issues. Biden must be ignored.

Reversing Trump policies, US president tells Jordanian king that ‘United States supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict’

US President Joe Biden on Wednesday promised to press for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as he restored aid to the Palestinians.

In a call with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, a longstanding US ally who recently faced down dissent within the royal family, Biden “affirmed that the United States supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” a White House statement said.

Why America’s Elites Want to End the Middle Class  

Feudalism is a viable alternative to tolerating a middle class, especially lucrative to the multinational corporations and globalist billionaires that hide this agenda behind a moral masquerade.

By 

A recent column by Victor Davis Hanson titled “Radical New Rules for Post-America” lists “10 new ideas that are changing America, maybe permanently.” Hanson offers a thorough description of what’s wrong: Fiscal and monetary negligence, selective enforcement or nonenforcement of laws, anti-white racism, rights and privileges for immigrants over citizens, an infantilized culture, hypocrisy, urban chaos, censorship and cancel culture, politicized “science,” and “woke” as the new religion, with Big Tech as the clergy.

The Threats American Jewry Refuses to Face  

Appeasing ‘progressive’ Jew-haters.

By Caroline Glick, FPM

After being forced by Covid-19 restrictions to celebrate Passover alone last year, like their Israeli brethren, American Jews were by and large able to celebrate the Passover seder with their friends and families this year. And as in Israel, American Jewish families reveled in their deliverance from loneliness on the Jewish festival of deliverance.

But even the joy of Passover couldn’t dispel the twin storm clouds rising around the largest Jewish diaspora.

Trump Thinks Georgia Bill Does Not ‘Go Far Enough’ To Ensure Fraud Proof Elections

Trump Thinks Georgia Bill Does Not 'Go Far Enough' To Ensure Fraud Proof Elections

Former President Donald Trump on April 5 slammed the governor and lieutenant governor of Georgia for supposedly pushing the state’s legislature to flush a series of election reforms passed late last month.

“Too bad the desperately needed election reforms in Georgia didn’t go further, as their originally approved Bill did, but the Governor and Lt. Governor would not go for it,” Trump said in a statement released through his Save America political action committee.

Israel’s Arab-Muslim Party the Government Kingmaker? With Dr. Kedar expert on Middle East & Islam  

T. Belman. I hope no one on the right really means to effect this coalition. I am hoping that, talk of including them in the coalition, is solely to incentivize Sa’ar to join the coalition.

Kedar to his credit, says no Arab Party should be part of a right coalition unless it must accepts Israel as a “Jewish and Democratic” state.

GA SoS Raffensperger: Only Ballot Images Should Be Audited  

T. Belman.  Raffensperger is wrong. FRAUD VITIATES EVERYTHING.

By Michelle Edward, UNcoverDC

Last November’s election in Georgia was plagued with numerous concerns over election integrity, many of which are still being examined. With Gov. Kemp’s recent signing of the ‘Election Integrity Act of 2021,’ it seems logical to assume the state is implementing procedures to address and correct election fraud when and where it occurred. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case in Fulton County, GA, where, on Apr. 2, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger sent a request to the courts in an ongoing civil action, petitioning that ballot images taken from the voting machines be the only source of evidence used in an upcoming audit in the county.
