US foreign aid to Israel is a two-way street, with Israel providing the US with a wide range of security benefits it can obtain nowhere else – US aid to Israel is a secure investment yielding high returns.

Biden, Lapid and Gantz inspecing Iron Dome   Flash90

Even if Israel had the heaviest bunker-busting bombs, it would be difficult to deliver them to the target. According to estimates, Israel may be able to modernize F-15s to carry GBU-57 bombs, along with additional fuel and munitions. This is a technically complex task, but sometimes even the impossible gets done.

Around 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) more or less, separate Israel from the sites of Iran’s nuclear program. These facilities are scattered across the distant enemy nation, fortified and protected. In recent weeks, reports have repeatedly surfaced that the nuclear program continues to progress: The International Atomic Energy Agency warned in late May that Iran possesses enough material to produce at least three nuclear warheads. On the other hand, senior Israeli officials assert that the IDF knows how to deal with this threat. The claim that Israel is capable of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons has been heard for many years, including from the country’s prime ministers.

The debate really depressed me. It wasn’t J.D. Vance, who gave the best debate performance of any political candidate in decades. Nor was it Tim Walz because I knew going in that he was, as he described himself, a “knucklehead.” It wasn’t even the biased harpies who called themselves moderators because that was to be expected (although they angered me). What depressed me was that our political discourse has devolved into watching candidates get asked stupid questions so that they can give canned statements for two minutes and then bicker for a few seconds with each other.

Let’s start with the general review. First, the greatest non-verbal moment in American debate history:

The equivocation of Biden, Harris and other leaders should cause us all to feel a degree of shame.

By Gerard Baker, WSJ     Sept. 30, 2024,

How will we ever repay the debt we owe Israel?

What the Jewish state has done in the past year—for its own defense, but in the process and not coincidentally for the security of all of us—will rank among the most important contributions to the defense of Western civilization in the past three-quarters of a century.

Having been hit with a devastating attack on its people, beyond the fetid imagining of some of the vilest antisemites, Israel has in 12 months done nothing less than redraw the balance of global security, not just in the region, but in the wider world.

1. JaFaJ Israeli security sources reported that approximately 200 missiles were launched from Iran toward Israeli targets on the evening of October 1, 2024. Of these, Israeli sources confirm that fewer than 65 missiles reached their intended targets, while an estimated 133 were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system. A small number of rockets landed in unpopulated areas, including eight in Palestinian Authority (PA)-controlled regions. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for the attack, naming it “The True Promise Operation.”

On September 4, 2024, I sent this letter to Candace Owens regarding many comments she has made about Jews, Zionism and Israel. I have known Candace for about as long as she has been in public life. She began her podcasting at PragerU in 2019 and left in 2021. She left on very good terms. To this day, she often speaks of her respect and love for Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU, and me.

Within hours of receiving my letter, Candace replied:

“I deeply appreciate this e-mail and I will respond to it thoroughly. Please know that I respect you tremendously and it is difficult for me to reconcile how I feel about you and Marissa and the amazing way in which I was treated by you both, and my new feelings and understanding about Zionism. Please give me a bit of time to respond to all of your points. You can always reach out to me and no matter which side of this or any political debate we wind up on, my love and respect for you and Marissa and your treatment of me will never be swayed.”

T. Belman.  I have been friends with Brigitte for almost 20 years. I am totally aware of her story. When she visited Toronto to give a talk, I attended.  Anyone wishing to ask her a question had to stand beside the platform on which she gave her remarks. I was the first to do so. As soon as I asked, she left her mike  and came over to me saying “Teddy, Teddy” and gave me a hug. That epitomized my relationship with her.

She went on to greater and greater things.

In November 2006, she spoke to Heritage Institute. Her story is spellbinding. WATCH IT HERE

Zelensky Government Shaky

Col. Ivan Vinnik (72nd Brigade photo)

The 72nd Mechanized Brigade is more or less trapped in Vuhledar (Russian Ugledar), an important Ukrainian army hub in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine.  The Russians now have it surrounded on all sides to the extent that they have fire control over all escape routes.

Instead of giving orders to pull out, something the Brigade’s Commander had been urging of the Zelensky government, Zelensky has now transferred the commander, Colonel Ivan Vinnik, in essence firing him.  No replacement has been selected.  No order to pull out has been given.

What Are they planning?

MG Paul E Vallely  Morning Intelligence Report

by George Mcclellan | 2.9.2024

Apart from maintaining a dangerously slim majority in the House of Representatives and not holding the Senate, conservatives, keen to place Donald Trump back in the White House, must contend with the fact that at least fourteen anti-Trump Senate Republican are waiting, if Trump wins, to subvert his policies, plans and objectives to the whims of the New World Order crowd who want America debilitated to the level of another third world cesspool nation, bankrupt, destitute and compliant to the governance of “experts,” the better to rule over us.

For Trump Republicans, that’s a problem to be addressed once Trump is back in the driver’s seat. If Trump loses, Trump MAGA supporters will soon become the targets of the far left-wing radicals. Those Republican politicians seeking to retain the grace and favor of the victors will eagerly join with them to smother us thus dragging America into a long period of bitter internal conflicts while the Chinese, if they’re still around, and the Islamic caliphates who will be, stand by ready to poke around in the wreckage.

Peloni:  Fuellmich provided the world with the only wide spread international investigation in real time while the Covid scam was being played out against the unsuspecting elements of the world’s publics at large.  He asked hard questions, and pursued frightening inquiries in a manner which was not only transparent but also vital, only to find that the answers to these shocking events were themselves far more shocking than satisfying.  For his efforts, he now stands in the doc, isolated from persuing his work, in an effort which can hardly be assessed as anything less than an attempt to both deligitimize his findings as well as serving as a warning for others who might have an interest in pursuing such taboo inquires as Fuellmich did expose.  This is not just scandalous, it is dangerous.  It stands as an indictment of the Western world’s transformation into a society which shuns Western principles of rational debate and open discussion, which were the true crimes which Fuellmich committed, into a society which leverages public censorship in defense of the Elites.

This is one of the very few websites where you will read this story. Dr Reiner Fuellmich, a leading attorney, has been under arrest in Germany for almost a year now. From the silence in the mainstream media, it would seem he is a dangerous spy whose arrest cannot be made public. Try Google, and sparse details emerge. A Vice article that declares him a “conspiracy theorist” provides almost nothing of his side of the story, a right normally accorded even to gangsters and murderers.
