TRUMP’S BOARD OF PEACE

With the delusional belief that all the Arab Palestinians of Gaza want is a peaceful and prosperous life President Trump is forging ahead with a Marshall Plan on steroids for the Gaza Strip.

Phase Two of the plan is underway without a major part of Phase One having been achieved, namely the complete and verifiable disarmament of Hamas.

The genocidal, kleptocratic leaders of Hamas luxuriating in billion dollar comfort in Qatar must be bent over in a paroxysm of laughter for no plan has been suggested or made about how to reclaim the billions of dollars in international aid they have stolen for themselves let alone about how to hold them responsible for their incessant grisly crimes against humanity.

Historically, the trap door upon which all of our calculations in the tortured Middle East stand is the one fundamental and tragically recurring flaw in all of our dealings with the Arab Palestinians which is to say that it is simply not possible to enhance the prospects of peace by enhancing the prospects of organizations that are doctrinally dedicated to war.

October 7th. should have proved this point conclusively to Israel and the international community. “Wash, Rinse and Repeat” can no longer be our operating principle in the Middle East. Left unchecked, the Board of Peace is doomed to continue this lethal and expensive cycle.

Regardless of how many fig leaves with which it is adorned no peace plan that allows Hamas to survive can endure. This should be obvious even to the slowest of minds.

THE GAZA PANEL

If Netanyahu was not informed about who would serve on the Gaza Panel then it is an enormous insult not only to Israel but also to the men & women of the IDF whose sacrifices made these talks and arrangements a possibility. 


Turkey's president, the determined Islamist Recep Erdogan, will continue to undermine Israel and DT's 20-point peace plan while the Qataris will continue to play arsonist and firefighter depending on their perceived interests. Together, Kushner, Witkoff and Vance are no match for Arab Palestinian duplicity or the treachery of Qatar and Turkey. Unlike the Israelis they don't really understand with whom they are dealing or the nature of the beast. It's tragic.

As for Tony Blair, during 8 years as the U.N.'s envoy in the Middle East he confused activity with achievement while showing a distinct bias against Israel. Still, he was busy converting to Roman Catholicism and losing Toronto's Munk debate on religion to Christopher Hitchens. The time for this political pantaloon to be ushered off the stage is long overdue.

IRAN

It now looks as if President Trump will not be attacking Iran. Perhaps he has another way of ridding us and the Iranian people from this evil regime, but if not then he has made a tragically dangerous mistake that will haunt the region and the West for decades to come.


He will claim he stopped the IRGC killing civilians and that he saved lives, but we are still saddled with the greatest sponsor of international terror the world has ever known and the Iranian people will continue to suffer under this despotic and cruel theocratic regime. The combined talents of Obama, Biden and Carter could not have done worse. 


Pending some brilliant strategy to help free the Iranian people, liberate us from the genocidal intentions of the Ayatollahs and change the dynamics of the region in our favor then the perfect opportunity of a lifetime has been lost. So much for, “Help is on the way.”

MINNESOTA-A MASTER CLASS IN HOW NOT TO GOVERN

 Cursed by clowns who have succumbed to the totalitarian temptation, Minnesota has devolved into a failed state and Minneapolis into a failed city. "Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here" where paid professional Insurrectionists have been deliberately unleashed just as they were in 2020. 

Their purpose is not to seek a redress of grievances or to express moral outrage but to intimidate the rest of us with violence and destruction until their masters in the Democrat Party get their way which in this case is preventing the arrest and deportation of their future voter base, namely illegal aliens.

These insurrectionists are the shock troops of the Leftocracy, the very same Leftocracy that in October was holding “No Kings” protests across the country but recently were loudly demanding that the United States free Nicolas Maduro, a vicious narco-terrorist dictator who ruined Venezuela and whose hands are drenched with blood. Let that sink in. For the Leftocracy, the totalitarian agenda always supersedes the dictates of logic and common sense let alone justice.

From the comments section - 

-- Obstructing and attacking law enforcement is not “protesting.” Blocking roads, aiming vehicles at officers, or recklessly driving toward them crosses into criminal behavior, not civic dissent. 

Words matter, and so do standards—when violence or intimidation enters the picture, it ceases to be protest. What we’re watching now is the Democratic establishment’s approach to disorder playing out in real time. 

Soft-on-crime policies, demonization of police, and reflexive excuses for lawless behavior have predictable outcomes: declining public safety, demoralized law enforcement, and communities left to deal with the consequences. 

This isn’t compassion—it’s recklessness dressed up as virtue. At some point, people need to stop pretending this chaos is accidental. Policies that weaken accountability, excuse criminal behavior, and erode borders and institutions don’t create justice or stability—they create dependence and disorder. 

A functional society requires law, order, and consequences applied evenly. When those are undermined, the result isn’t progress, it’s decay. 

The real threat to the country isn’t disagreement or protest—it’s the steady hollowing out of the rule of law by officials and activists who excuse anything as long as it advances their ideology. 

That kind of damage doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s far more dangerous than any single headline-grabbing event. This isn’t about left vs. right anymore. It’s about whether we still believe in accountability, public safety, and a society governed by laws rather than outrage and excuses.

THE RIGHT WING CIVIL WAR IS HERE

 The video below shows Sam Harris, an American neuroscientist, philosopher, author and podcast host being interviewed about the brewing civil war on the Republican right.

Harris, who has been afflicted with TDS for some time, reminded me of something I had forgotten namely that Donald Trump said he didn't know who David Duke was when asked about Duke's endorsement of him in 2016. This seems highly unlikely. It is possible DT felt he didn't want to alienate the extreme right. If so, then it was and remains a huge mistake. Harris points out that it was not a mistake made by William F. Buckley who cleansed the Republican Party by denouncing the John Birch Society in 1962 when he took a strong, principled and public stand against anti-Semitism and racism.

Harris goes on to condemn Tucker Carlson & Candace Owens. That they have very large audiences, although extremely disappointing, comes as no surprise. After all, there are several billion votaries of various religions who are prepared to believe things without the slightest evidence about visitations from angels, conversations with a burning bush, walking on water, raising the dead, making the blind see, and flying on a winged horse from Mecca to Jerusalem. One must add to that the number of simpletons who can never resist a passing bandwagon regardless of the direction in which it is traveling.

Harris' critique of J.D. Vance is also piercingly accurate. It demonstrates Vance's cold reluctance to confront a most vicious bigotry together with the lies, distortions and inventions which always accompany it.

Whether his reluctance is due to the fear of losing the support of the extreme right or whether it is due to a genuine belief in its fantastic absurdities doesn't really matter. Either way, he is unfit to be the V.P. of the United States. In the absence of a large and spine-stiffening injection of moral clarity coupled with an ideological volte face on the part of Vance no Republican should support his nomination as the party's candidate for the presidency.
