Peloni:  The disparity in the enforcement of election interference is a telling aspect of the broken US election system.  “For my friends, everything, and for my enemies, the law.”

Apparently, some forms of foreign election influence are okay. According to recent reports the British Labour Party are sending their staff to the United States to run support operations in battleground states.

This is the most important 10 minute video about censorship that I have seen lately. I transcribed it so you won’t miss a word.

This video by Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit goes very fast and is covering tons of information – so that’s why I transcribed it and added static shots of the visuals. Many of the points that Jim makes have been purposefully memory-holed by the media so you forget what really happened. I want to make sure you digest and share this video with others. There is NEW information coming out soon about many of these stories – so heads up:

VIDEO: Hi, my name is Jim Hoft. I’m the founder and editor of the Gateway Pundit, the leading conservative grassroots website in America today.

Hey @KamalaHarris

“So I have a question for you about your virtue signaling speech today? A few questions actually…

Was it not YOU that threatened us to not go into Rafah? Something about you “reading the maps” if I recall. The only thing you know how to read is a script.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out almost 500 strikes on various Hezbollah targets in three days of fighting between October 14 and October 17. The IDF said that troops “dismantled more than 150 Hezbollah terror targets” over a day of ground battles on October 17 alone. In addition, the IDF said that 140 Hezbollah targets had been struck from the air on October 16, with another 200 hit the day before. The targets included “weapons storage facilities, launchers aimed toward Israeli territory, terrorist infrastructure, and terrorist cells,” according to the IDF.

Following initial reports and speculation in the early afternoon, Israeli media announced that cabinet ministers were informed of Sinwar’s confirmed death after DNA tests were conducted on his body.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s repeated talk about the need to establish a Palestinian state in the aftermath of the October 7 atrocities against Israelis is the best gift the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group could have wished for.

• On a number of occasions over the past few months, US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has declared her support for the creation of a Palestinian state next to Israel. Last month, Harris said: “We must have a two-state solution where we can rebuild Gaza where the Palestinians have security, self-determination and the dignity they so rightly deserve.”

The FBI recently released its hate crime statistics for 2024, and they don’t paint a comforting picture for those who uncritically accept the left’s claims about the state of the nation and what is going on in it. The FBI’s data belies the increasingly common linkage of “antisemitism” with “Islamophobia,” as if, in the aftermath of Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, jihad massacre of 1,200 Israelis, both Jews and Muslims were facing vigilante attacks on an equal basis. In reality, the increasingly common mention of “Islamophobia” in any discussion of “antisemitism” is just an attempt to soften the rage of Muslims in the United States over the expression of any concern about antisemitism. Ultimately, there should be zero incidents in both categories, but to equate them is a manifestation of a politically motivated myopia and deliberate distortion of reality.

Peloni: The only reason why Sinwar lies dead today and why the threat which his leadership posed towards Israel is finally at an end, is because Bibi defeated all of Sinwar’s allies.  From the Dems in Washington to the Leftists in the Opposition, these naysayers placed every roadblock possible to derail Netanyahu and his commitment to see this war to its necessary end.  From Shumer to Gantz, from Kamala to Gallant, it was these factions which were actively facilitating a lifeline to Sinwar and a resuscitation to the Hamas regime which was responsible for October 7 and would have seen this tragedy revisited upon Israel in the future, if not for the resilience, defiance, and perseverance of Bibi Netanyahu.  Indeed, his victory is one which will be felt around the world, but this victory was led by one man against a great countercurrent.  In an era in which the Free World is being corrupted by despotic forces who are aligning with barbarians, Bibi has seized the moment to lead the free world in facing down both the barbarians at the gate as well as their facilitators in his own ranks and among his allies.  He is a truly incredible leader who is reshaping the world by refusing to surrender to either his enemies or allies, a feat which I hope to see him continue to fulfill til his vital mission is accomplished.

Peloni:  News of  Sinwar’s death is a continuation of the series of successes which have been won in this war.  While these victories have been substantial, Bibi must continue to press the advantage forward.  The much anticipated strike on Iran must maintain or accelerate this momentum.  Now is not the time to punt but to strike another grand slam against Iran.  It is not enough to humiliate Iran, as the humiliation must be a painful and productive humiliation.

What a clip! A drone captures the last seconds of Sinwar's life. He throws a stick at it. Amazing that this is the man who, together with Iran, brought down untold suffering on the Gazans. pic.twitter.com/nskJJQ0DkX

Peloni:  The coming lame duck session in the wake of the coming election was always going to be a period fraught with peril for Israel.  It seems that the Washington elites could not wait that long due to mounting Israeli successes.  Hopefully, the lame duck period will be the end of their unvarnished control over Israel, but even in that nearly three month period, they will try to effect a great deal of damage upon Israel.  And this report only foreshadows a small aspect of what that damage might look like.

Kamala claimed she wasn’t for an arms embargo. She lied.

by Daniel Greenfield | October 16, 2024

In August, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to anti-Israel activists including Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s sister and told them she was open to an arms embargo on Israel.

The Kamala campaign denied the allegation. The Times adjusted its claim.

They were lying. Here’s the arms embargo.

Der Grossmufti von Palästina vom Führer empfangen. Der Führer empfing in Gegenwart des Reichsministers des Auswärtigen von Ribbentrop den Grossmufti von Palästina, Sayid Amin al Husseini, zu einer herzlichen und für die Zukunft der arabischen Länder bedeutungsvollen Unterredung. 9.12.41 Presse Hoffmann

After reading Benjamin Weinthal’s article entitled “Germany delays selling weapons to Israel but continues sales to Qatar, sparking criticism,” Mr. Weinthal wondered what prompted Germany to “ignore Israeli requests to purchase weapons, according to a Sunday report in the German mass circulation daily Bild.” Mr. Weinthal further questioned: hadn’t German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made a pledge of unconditional solidarity with Jerusalem after October 7?  Were the Germans leaving off where their forebears started or was this just a temporary aberration?

Peloni:  The penalties for such looters should be made prohibitively severe.  In the report there is a mention of a two year sentence, which should be significantly increased.

Peloni: Bravo to Ollie for adding the relevant dialogue which actually balances Konstantin Kisin’s monologue.  Kisin’s statement truly is epic even in its unbalanced form, but it becomes even more powerfully relevant with Ollie’s added remarks.

Peloni:  This was a trainwreck interview.    Interesting that her people pulled the plug just as Baier raised the graphic showing the $200 billion which Iran has accessed in the leadup to the current war against Israel, directly due to the change in policies which took place under the current administration.  I wish he had raised this question earlier to be honest, but the points which he did raise were significant, as were the hyperbole in place of answers which Kamala provided.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is a decorated retired Army officer. He was supportive of Israel’s foray into Lebanon in the beginning. It would have been hard for him not to be, as Israel delivered justice for hundreds of U.S. and Allied military personnel murdered by Hezbollah in Lebanon and elsewhere. But his Oct. 12 phone call with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant pivoted into this:

“The secretary strongly emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety and security of [United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon] UNIFIL forces and Lebanese Armed Forces and reinforced the need to pivot from military operations in Lebanon to a diplomatic pathway as soon as feasible. Sec. Austin also raised the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and stressed that steps must be taken to address it.”

The woke are going to like this one because they detest both Zionism as a “settler colonial” crime and the European colonization of North America, which they believe was theft from the indigenous natives. Columbus’s goal and the striving for Zion/Jerusalem come together in this true slice of history.

Christopher Columbus was no Jew, though some want to believe that. In 1892, the Spanish government promoted this fiction because, as America celebrated the quadra-centennial year of his historic voyage, Spain thought it might experience a tourist boom if it identified him as a Spaniard (even a Jewish one) rather than an Italian.

Professors connected to anti-Israel protests head programs that received millions of taxpayer dollars, according to a report released Wednesday by government transparency group Open The Books.

The Department of Education has spent $283 million on foreign studies grants since 2020, with over $22.1 million going towards programs studying the Middle East, Open The Books found. The study analyzed the top three grant recipients, Indiana University, Columbia University and Georgetown University, and found that each highlighted anti-Israel professors as distinguished staff in their programs.

One year ago, our enemies launched an unprecedented assault on the Jewish state. On Oct. 7, Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran’s proxy terror network unleashed an unprecedented and heinous massacre to kill as many Jews as possible and destroy the State of Israel. Decades in the making, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Qatar, and yes, the Palestinian Authority plotted together, united by a common goal: to wipe Israel off the map.

Despite knowing about such plans over the years, Israel chose to hold back. No Israeli government, including those led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has taken decisive action to prevent our enemies from executing their ultimate strategy until now.
