Pam Bondi will no longer be attorney general following a tumultuous and controversial tenure.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will lead the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the interim, President Donald Trump announced.
Peloni: Rabbi Pesach Wolicki talks with Dr. David Wurmser. The interview focuses on the war with Iran, with particular attention on the recent escalation by the Houthis. Wurmser explains that the Houthis are part of Iran’s broader strategy to raise oil prices, disrupt key shipping routes like the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and prolong the conflict while avoiding direct confrontation, while also recognizing that this may also reflect Iran’s need for proxy support due to its diminished missile capabilities. The discussion challenges the narrative that Gulf states are weak for not joining the war, suggesting that the US and Israel might prefer to exclude them from participating in the war due to operational risks, intelligence concerns, and political complications, while they may still offer indirect support.
Peloni: This coming in the wake of the Israeli-Somaliland alliance provides an important context for Kainerugaba’s pronouncement of support for Israel. The world is being reordered, and Israel has played a pivotal role in this reordering, and this is having an important response which has not yet been fully unveiled.

Fifty years ago, Israeli commandos stormed the terminal at Entebbe Airport under the cover of darkness. They engaged in a deadly firefight with Ugandan troops and Palestinian hijackers to rescue over 100 Jewish and Israeli hostages. The daring 1976 raid astonished the world and reshaped modern counterterrorism, but it cost the life of the assault unit’s commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yonatan “Yoni” Netanyahu.
Peloni: Excellent speech! I hope the Day After plan has as much careful forethought as Trump’s prepared comments tonight.

Here are the key highlights drawn strictly from the speech:
Peloni: Sheikh Khalid Al-Hail, a Qatari opposition leader is interviewed by Israel Channel 14 in English. They discuss the media cover which the Al Thani regime in Qatar provides for Iran, the $6 billion deal which Qatar was recently reported to offer Iran, why Qatar is not a US ally, a change of regime in Iran will lead to a change of regime in Qatar, Trump’s support for Qatar, and Tucker Carlson’s relationship with Qatar.

Peloni: Is Zionism the Messiah?

I decided to write an article that will probably not be accepted positively by both religious Jews and many secular ones. There were two triggers that prompted me to write this piece.

Part One of this series, which can be read here, described why President Trump has no choice but to fight the Iranian regime all the way to its bunker just as the United States fought Hitler all the way to his bunker. The main reason mentioned in Part One was that the Iranian regime is a fanatical apocalyptic and messianic sect that has sought “death to America” since Day One of the revolution in 1979, applying this doctrine over the years resulting in hundreds of American casualties. This sect is a total minority – even within Shi’a Islam, which is itself ten percent of the world of Islam – that will simply not accept any deal. Part Two, below, adds three more arguments that make a deal impossible for President Trump.

There was a time when I was proud to be Canadian. Truly proud. I believed Canada stood for tolerance, decency, and moral clarity. I believed that, whatever our flaws, we had at least learned from history. I believed we had confronted our failures honestly, absorbed the lesson, and emerged as a country that knew the difference between right and wrong.
I was wrong.
Paul Schnee: The hateful effort described below is a clear indication of just how much influence the Jew-haters in the Democrat Party have managed to gain in spite of overwhelming but tragically misplaced support from the Jewish community over the decades.
The so-called SQUAD is now at the ideological forefront of a political party that has turned not only on the Jewish community but also on what it means to be an American which is to say it has embraced cultural Marxism, Islamic fascism, open borders, criminal illegal aliens, decriminalizing crime, voter fraud, massive Minnesotan Somali fraud, the divisiveness of identity politics over beneficial policies and it has abandoned merit replacing it with DEI. Why? Because that is where it thinks the votes are to provide it with a permanent majority in its anxious pursuit of the Holy Grail of a one-party-state. This cynicism has transformed the Democrat Party into an enemy of the people making it a real danger to the survival of our democratic republic and the greatest experiment in freedom the world has ever seen.
Update: U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker:
“President Trump is reevaluating everything, NATO involvement, support for Europe in Ukraine, and all U.S. actions. Everything is on the table.”

In an interview with Sean Hannity, Sec. of State Marco Rubio stated that the U.S. is approaching the “finish line” in its war with Iran, and it could potentially be resolved within a few weeks. He warned that Iran had been pursuing long-range missile capabilities similar to North Korea, while also confirming ongoing back-channel communications, which have been taking place between Washington and Tehran. Rubio also raised sharp criticism against America’s NATO allies, describing the relationship as a “one-way street” after some allies denied the U.S. access to bases during the conflict. He also suggested the relationship may need reevaluation. His remarks came as the war entered its fifth week, amid rising oil prices and global economic uncertainty.
Peloni: Is this hypothesis about why the US has failed to open the Strait of Hormuz proving accurate? Well, if Trump is about to declare victory after having not achieved victory, John Konrad’s analysis offer us some insight as to why he would choose such a course.

By Captain John Konrad (Opinion) – The Strait of Hormuz is twenty-one miles wide. Two shipping channels, each two miles across, separated by a two-mile buffer. There is no alternative. Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline to Yanbu and the UAE’s pipeline to Fujairah can handle maybe five million barrels combined. The math doesn’t work. The bottleneck is not political. It is geological and hydrographic.
Peloni: Very clear eyed discussion exposing the motivations for the “Settler Violence” campaign (timestamp 5min-17min). Also note the discussion about the attempt to have President Trump intercede in Israeli politics against the Israeli Deep State using his sanctions policy (20min-26min). And much more…

Peloni: The fundamental reform which might provide for the securing of the survival and revival of the American Republic is to deal with the issue of election fraud in the US. While various attempts to solve this problem via legislation has failed to materialize, Trump has taken to dealing with at least the issue of Mail-in Voting via a new Executive Order. Will the courts allow Trump’s proactive attempts of securing the will of the people to stand, or will they fail Americans once again as they did back in aftermath of the 2020 election.

In the Middle East, Turkey seeks to play a key role if and when the Iran conflict winds down. Ankara will seek to grow its influence as Iran’s influence declines.

Turkey is positioning itself to play a key role when the Iran conflict winds down. The conflict has led to chaos in the region, and it remains to be seen if the US and Israel can come up with a strategy to deal with Iran or what comes next. Turkey is also thinking of its next steps. Not involving itself in the conflict enables Ankara to work with both sides. Turkey is a NATO ally and has also had amicable ties with Iran in the past.
