Progress Toward Peace

Talks between Trump and Putin were productive.

Initial reports indicate that yesterday’s talks between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on ending the bloodshed in Ukraine were productive.
 
Putin agreed to an immediate ceasefire on strikes against energy facilities, a prisoner exchange with Ukraine, and negotiations on a full ceasefire agreement will “begin immediately in the Middle East.”
 
 
 
Israel Hammers Hamas
 
President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu both warned Hamas to quit playing games with American and Israeli hostages. Unfortunately, the Islamic supremacists ignored their repeated warnings. As a result, Israel, with Trump’s full support, struck numerous Hamas targets throughout Gaza Monday night.
 
Israel Katz, Israel’s defense minister, was absolutely clear about where things stand. Katz said:
 
“If Hamas does not free all the hostages, the gates of hell will be opened in Gaza, and the Hamas murderers and rapists will meet the IDF with a force they did not know until today.”
 
There is evidence that Hamas was heavily recruiting, rearming, and plotting new attacks against Israel during the ceasefire. That’s evidence of why President Trump’s widely mocked suggestion that Gaza be emptied out may be the only viable solution.
 
In related news, there were reports yesterday that the U.S. Navy sank an Iranian intelligence ship. Those reports were later denied. That’s too bad because we ought to take out Iran’s spy boat.
 
Speaking of “fake news,” when most people search for something on the internet, Wikipedia is often among the top results. When it comes to issues involving Israel, avoid Wikipedia.
 
The Anti-Defamation League just released an alarming report alleging that 30 Wikipedia editors conspired “to circumvent Wikipedia’s policies to introduce antisemitic narratives, anti-Israel bias, and misleading information.” The report adds that their efforts “ramped up after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks.”

What Will We Learn?
 
President Trump announced Monday that 80,000 unredacted files on John F. Kennedy’s assassination would be released yesterday. It will take time to go through them all, and it remains to be seen what, if anything, we will learn from them.
 
Some experts believe there will be no major revelations. But for whatever reason, the Deep State has resisted releasing these files.
 
I used to think that theories suggesting Lee Harvey Oswald was merely a puppet were nonsense. But what we have learned in recent years should make us all rethink our assumptions.
 
We now know that the FBI sent a threatening blackmail letter to Martin Luther King, Jr. The letter very pointedly told King he should kill himself or unflattering details of his personal life would be made public in order to ruin him.
 
We know the FBI and other elements of the Deep State attempted a soft coup against Donald Trump with the absurd Russia collusion hoax.
 
We know “highly respected” intelligence experts lied to us in order to manipulate our elections.
 
We know the FBI censored us and spied on parents and churches.
 
We know the government lied to us about virtually every aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the absurd social distancing protocols used to justify shutting our schools and the rationale for vaccine mandates.
 
 
 
A Striking Contrast
 
The ongoing dispute between President Trump and left-wing district court Judge James Boasberg is much bigger than it looks at first glance. Boasberg ordered the president to literally turn planes around that were deporting illegal alien gang members out of the country.
 
As crazy as it sounds, the judge actually ordered that the gang members be returned to the United States. What’s next – ordering the astronauts Biden stranded be returned to the space station?
 
The idea that each one of 700 federal district court judges has the power to order the president to obey their demands on all issues, including the national security of the United States and the movement of planes and ships, is insane!
 
The fact that the entire media complex isn’t stating the obvious shows you how deep the resistance is to allowing Donald Trump to do what he was elected to do. But there is something even deeper going on here.
 
 
 
Ignore The Morons
 
Andrew Weismann was on MSNBC Monday offering his legal analysis. He claimed that statements from the White House press secretary and the attorney general denouncing Boasberg’s ruling were creating a “constitutional crisis.” Once again, the media are counting on the American people not knowing or remembering who their so-called “expert analysts” are.
 
Weissmann is not an impartial, unbiased observer. He was one of the most obnoxious anti-Trump inquisitors involved in the failed Robert Mueller Russia collusion investigation that tried to destroy Donald Trump.
 
All that investigation revealed is how Democrats were willing to exploit Mueller, who was an ailing elderly man. And they did it again with Joe Biden.
 
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller didn’t pull any punches when asked about Weissmann’s “constitutional crisis.” Miller said:
 
“Andrew Weissman is an absolute moron. He is a moron, and he is a fool, and he’s a degenerate… He should hang his head in eternal shame for what he’s done to this country. And now he’s up there shilling for people who rape and murder Americans. That’s who Andrew Weissman is.”
 
Miller is right!
 
This is all part of the left’s never-ending efforts to cripple Donald Trump. It was set up during the closing months of the Biden administration. They were shoveling money out the door to radical neo-Marxist “resistance” groups as fast as they could. They joked about throwing “gold bars off the Titanic.”
 
Another major element of the left’s plot is the legal strategy unfolding now – file a flood of lawsuits in the courts of the most left-wing judges, who will gladly hamstring the Trump administration.
 

 
 


Ignore The Journal, Too
 
Has the Wall Street Journal editorial board gone absolutely crazy?
 
The paper’s own editorial argues that it’s unacceptable for the Trump administration to ignore a left-wing judge on a matter of national security, foreign policy, and the safety of American citizens.
 
The Journal editors wrote that the appropriate action for the administration is to follow the absurd order and appeal it, which takes a long time.
 
That would result, as the editors surely know, in hundreds of leftist judges tying the Trump administration in knots, preventing the president from doing what he was elected to do.
 
Sadly, this editorial will be widely cited by Trump’s critics, who will say, “See how extreme Trump is? Even the Wall Street Journal says he’s out of control!”
 
So, the Journal is now in league with Andrew Weissmann, the radical ACLU, and the open borders lobby. Of course, they are. They never wanted Trump to do anything serious about immigration and the border.
 
The Wall Street Journal editors have been wrong many times over the years, including giving most favored nation trading status to communist China.
 
 
 
Doctor Deported
 
When Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a professor at Brown University, returned from Lebanon last Thursday, Customs and Border Protection (CPB) agents searched her cellphone. They found pictures of deceased Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, and other terrorist figures.
 
Under questioning, Alawieh said she attended Nasrallah’s funeral while she was in Lebanon and followed his teachings and Khamenei’s “from a religious perspective.”
 
As a result of her admiration for the leader of the terrorist group Hezbollah, CBP agents canceled her visa and put her on a flight back to Lebanon the next day.
 
Meanwhile, a family member hired lawyers to file an emergency appeal on Alawieh’s behalf. An Obama-appointed judge issued an injunction against her removal. But by the time CBP agents were notified of the judge’s order, Alawieh was already on her way back to Lebanon.
 
A scheduled hearing about her case was canceled Monday because Dr. Alawieh suddenly changed lawyers. Her previous lawyers withdrew from the case “as a result of further diligence.” That sounds suspicious to me.
 
So, Dr. Alawieh admitted she admired terrorist leaders who are personally responsible for the deaths of American civilians and soldiers. And the entire left-wing infrastructure was ready to fall on their sword for her.
 
Today’s left is willing to die on the hill of Venezuelan gangs and radical Islamists terrorizing our university campuses.
 
This is the fundamental division in America today, and it is unresolvable. Either we win or America becomes unrecognizable.
 
President Trump is trying to reverse the damage Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Alejandro Mayorkas inflicted on our country during their four-year government-authorized invasion of the United States, which I believe is actually treason.
 
Now, the left is desperately trying everything they can to make sure that treason is not reversed. They don’t want one person, no matter how evil, to be sent back to whatever hellhole they came from.
