Peloni: Pennsylvania was a must win for Kamala, and base upon the results of Quantum computing, it looks like she is going to win it handily, even while the Republicans are somewhere between pretending and honestly blind as to what is coming.
This was always the problem with the notion that Republicans should simply join the ballot harvesting game and out do the Democrats at their own game. Indeed, the folly in this premise is that ballot harvesting is the Democrats’ game, and they have the expertise in this legitimized game of cheating. When the Republican claims of potential victory finally catch up with the reality that they have lost Pennsylvania, how much campaign cash will have passed thru and to the hands of the relevant players, and regardless of every excuse which might be mustered, it appears pretty certain that Kamala will not be stopped in Pennsylvania.
Numbers do not lie. Republican grifters do. Total collapse of the numbers for GOP in Pennsylvania

The StopBogusBallots team, led by Peter Bernegger is not only tracking every BS ballot cast in Pennsylvania, it is tracking every ballot.
No good news here for the Trumpsters!
As of 10/18 at 8:00 AM, the Democrats had 1,017,055 ballots approved to be mailed out.
The Republicans – 502,805
Rabbi Jacob Herzog tweeted the following:
This is what will happen in Lebanon during the next four years. Save this tweet, take a picture of it, and remember it.
The war will continue and will not stop. We want the rapid bleeding of Hezbollah.
Peloni: Will the Dems lose the Blue Wall again? Well, it looks like they will hold Pennsylvania pretty handily.
There’s No Time Left To Stop It

Democrats are waking up to the nightmare that the 2024 election is not trending well for Vice President Kamala Harris.
While there are different avenues for both presidential candidates to win enough Electoral College votes to take the White House, Harris must win the three states that make up the “blue wall:” Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. These states, also known as the “Rust Belt,” flipped to Trump in 2016 but went blue in 2020 with President Joe Biden and are still Harris’ best chance of winning in 2024.
This isn’t the first time that the United States has tried to stop the success of the Israel Defense Forces. It happened in 1973, too.

Right on cue, as soon as Israel began striking at Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon, the Biden administration and the government of France rushed to demand a “ceasefire.”
And where did those demands for a ceasefire lead? Hezbollah became emboldened. This past Shabbat during the Sukkot holiday, Hezbollah succeeded in using a drone to attack the Caesarea private residence of the Netanyahu family. The attack cracked glass in a bedroom window.
Peloni: Simple facts which should be revisited more often than they are which is nearly never.
Dan Linnaeus tweeted the following:
Israel’s consistent position is that when Jordan illegally annexed Judea and Samaria between 1948 and 1950, the United Nations failed to protect Israel’s claims established under the San Remo Resolution (1920) and Israel’s Declaration of Independence (1948).
The San Remo Resolution of 1920, part of the post-World War I settlement incorporated the Balfour Declaration of 1917, mandating that the British oversee the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” within the British Mandate for Palestine. This was formally adopted by the League of Nations in 1922—the post-Ottoman framework under which the Balfour Declaration and the San Remo Resolution were to be implemented.
Peloni: Trump’s campaign moves in NY and CA demonstrate a great deal of confidence in the campaign. He has once again presented a strong campaign, and these moves into Democratic strongholds will help shore up Republican victories down ballot.

Yesterday, Donald Trump joined Fox News host Lawrence Jones at a Bronx barbershop. Trump, a Queens native who spent a lot of time on construction sites, was clearly at home among these guys in a way that Kamala and Walz never could be. (JD Vance would be at home there, too.) There was no fakery. Trump may be a billionaire, but these are his people—and because Trump is real, he understood the pain the barber’s hyper-inflated energy bills are causing him. That pain and Trump’s recognition explains why he’s campaigning in New York, a place that ought to be a no-win for a Republican.
Peloni: The delivery of aid into Gaza must become rigorously controlled by Israel, just as the remaining Hamas guerrillas are eliminated. These are each outstanding requirements by which control over Gaza will be achieved.

Last week, in a surprising chance contact, Israeli forces eliminated the leader of Hamas and the mastermind of the October 7 massacre, Yayha Sinwar. Like the death of Osama bin Laden 10 years after 9-11, Sinwar’s death gives strategic closure to many people in Israel; Sinwar was the mastermind and commander of the deadliest massacre against Jews since the Holocaust, and the atrocities of October 7 caused deep psychological trauma for Jews, along with a loss of personal security that will be felt for a long time. The closure Sinwar’s death provides Israeli’s population is important for their moving forward and healing as a nation.

The news of the past few days in Israel has been explosive. The almost accidental killing of Yahwa Sinwar has been greeted around the world with massive relief. The head of the Hamas serpent has been severed. The rest of its body is left twisting in the wind. That is not to say that Israel’s war with Hamas is over… but it has decimated the leadership, leaving small armed cells which are being rooted-out along with the weapons which remain in Hamas hands. We will know when the work is completed…quite simply, when the rockets from Hamas cease.
The massive leak of top-secret Israeli -shared information from the Pentagon has thrown a wrench into US-Israel relations. In a world of digital hacking, those who have sought to do damage to Israel’s plan to attack Iran can claim that Iran stole the information, rather than someone within the U.S. Military chain of command or the White House, leaking what had been shared. An internal investigation as to “who is at fault” will no doubt be a complete cover-up as previous investigations have been when they embarrass the powers-that-be.
Stay on target.

In the aftermath of Yahya Sinwar’s death, it’s easy to get distracted by both the incessant deluge of new events and the erroneous but common assumption that “ending the war” is now about getting the remaining hostages back.
In the interest, precisely, of not being thus distracted, I want to keep this brief and start not with a summary from the last 24 hours, absorbing though its details may be, but with a direct statement of priorities for the immediate future.
Peloni: There can be no substitute for total and complete victory with a permanent Israeli security presence over the entire Gaza Strip including the complete control over the Philadelphi Corridor.

The death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in a clash with Israeli troops could help transform Israel’s war efforts against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
It has been a difficult year for Israel fighting this long war. Both groups have been aided by the Iranian regime, which has supplied them with weapons and backing. Iran has also been helping other terrorist groups and militias in Yemen, Iraq and Syria, its goal being to surround Israel with threats, and chip away at Israel’s defences. Drones have attacked from Iraq, ballistic missiles have been fired from Yemen, terrorists have crossed into Israel from Jordan. Today two terrorists tried to infiltrate Israel from Jordan’s Dead Sea area. They were killed in a clash with the IDF.
The untold story of Kamala’s grandfather and her childhood in Africa.
by
On the last leg of her African tour, Vice President Kamala Harris paid a visit to an otherwise unremarkable office building in Zambia. Her staff and local embassy personnel had spent a great deal of time looking for it and everyone was hoping it was the right place.
Kamala, with her Jamaican and Indian roots, needed a tangible connection to Africa to win over African-American voters and convince them that she was one of them. And everyone settled on the office building as being the next best thing because it was the former spot of the building where she had once stayed as a little girl with her Indian mother on a visit to her grandfather.
Peloni: A truly exceptional commentary.
George McGovernJews cannot rely on others to survive. George McGovern (Senator, Presidential Nominee & Historian) flew bomber miss
ions over Auschwitz, targeting nearby oil factories & admitted it was moral failure not to bomb the gas chambers, the crematoria, or the railways/bridges to Auschwitz.
Peloni: Nothing like properly incentivizing the Lebanese to act in their own interest. Now let’s see if they will do so, of if they will remain on the sidelines.

Hezbollah has stockpiled up to half a billion dollars in cash in a secret bunker under a Beirut hospital, Israel revealed on October 21. In a televised briefing, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said that a site hidden under a residential building in the Bekaa Valley and used to store cash and gold worth tens of millions of dollars was among the targets in Lebanon struck by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) on October 20. But, he added, as yet untouched was a stockpile of up to $500 million in cash and gold in a secret Hezbollah command bunker located under al-Sahel General Hospital in the Lebanese capital.

To understand what’s unfolding in this election year, we need to view Trump not only as a candidate, and not merely as a man, but as a symbol—as if he were the personification of Uncle Sam brought to life in an attempt to save America from a passel of formidable enemies, both foreign and domestic, that seek to destroy her.
Simply put: this election is between a return to the America we loved and lost in the Color Revolution of 2020, and the last phase of a Communist takeover of our nation, as predicted by Khrushchev back in the 1950’s: “We will take America without firing a shot… we will destroy you from within.”

The global Covid response was the turning point in public trust, economic vitality, citizen health, free speech, literacy, religious and travel freedom, elite credibility, demographic longevity, and so much more. Now five years following the initial spread of the virus that provoked the largest-scale despotisms of our lives, something else seems to be biting the dust: the postwar neo-liberal consensus itself.
