The New Middle East and the Trump Method
Posted By: 4250Luis, 10/19/2025 5:02:23 AM
Trump made a flowing speech at the Israeli parliament that was remarkable for its frankness in showing the true picture of the situation to Israelis, combined with asserting his unflinching commitment to their security. [W]hat does peace, when poetic conceit is discarded, mean? It means that a war has ended with one clear winner and one clear loser, effacing a status quo that had bred the war. In the new status quo that must be created, the winner ought to have the final word. The second element in the method is to steer clear of flattering the foe rather than placating him, which would persuade him that you are acting out of weakness.

In 2022, Gustavo Petro, a former member of the M-19 guerrilla group and all-around nutcase, became Colombia's first left-wing leader since the founding of the country. In three years, his popularity ratings have tanked, he's been involved in scandal after scandal, and his reckless economic policies have stalled the country's growth. Heck, in just the last three or so weeks, he's had his United States visa revoked, become an arm chair "No Kings" rally expert, and accused our country of killing poor little fishermen in the Caribbean Sea — fishermen who just happened to have illegal drugs on board their fancy narco-boats.
New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to discuss the governor’s race. Fox News polling showed Ciattarelli behind, but he disagreed and said that the polling that was provided was not accurate.
He is running against Democrat candidate Mikie Sherrill, a Congresswoman from New Jersey.
“We have brand new Fox News polling out on your race this week. It is tightening. You are still lagging by four to five points, based on some of the data,” Bream said.
“How do you close this out in the next couple of weeks and change those minds?” Bream asked.
I don't know if you've seen anything about Barack Obama's presidential center. But if you didn't, he posted about it on Saturday. It's been a boondoggle now for some time. It is, in fact, the perfect representation of Barack Obama.
Here's a Newsweek headline on the project: "Behind Schedule, Over Budget, and Mired in Lawsuits."The local community was also unhappy with it or had concerns. One resident called it a "monstrosity," taking away from the beautiful area that once was there. So much for the feelings of the locals. Guess those got lost in the narcissism.
Obviously, readers here are well aware of our research files on former DOJ-NSD head, Mary McCord, and her various tentacles of operations against Donald Trump before and after the 2016 election.
To enhance this ongoing effort, Twitter user “pepesgrandma” shares an email exchange from Mary McCord to the FBI in December of 2020 following the election.
Apparently, Mary McCord was conducting surveillance of an Oathkeeper chat room and sending information to the FBI following the November 2020 election, and in the runup to the January 6, 2021, protest.
Leftists are so obsessed with the Trump collusion hoax that they are seeing ‘connections’ in the most ridiculous of places, including the choice of tie that War Secretary Pete Hegseth wore yesterday. Not surprisingly, the latest conspiracy theory regarding Trump-Russia backfired.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, a high-stakes meeting Friday involving President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took place in the Cabinet Room of the White House, a departure from the typical Oval Office meetings that the President holds with foreign leaders.
The protesters weren’t the only senior citizens at the ‘No Kings’ protests today. In Massachusetts, Senator Ed Markey was out in full force, yelling about the fact that we don’t have kings in the United States, as if we didn’t know that.
The ironic part is that Ed Markey has been in elected office in Massachusetts since 1973.
From his Wikipedia page:
Edward John Markey (born July 11, 1946) is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from the state of Massachusetts, a seat he has held since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he served 20 terms (18 full, two partial) as the U.S.
Republicans and Democrats who can’t agree on much of anything these days — including how to keep the basic functions of the federal government up and running — seem to be finding common ground on how to approach an industry that’s poised to dominate the American economy: artificial intelligence.
Citing an imperative to protect American workers and children from the predations of artificial intelligence, a bipartisan coalition is emerging to establish safeguards around the technology.

As I wrote earlier on Saturday, Vice President JD Vance was on hand to deliver remarks to an enthusiastic crowd of Marines at the United States Marine Corps' 250th Birthday Celebration event at Camp Pendleton in California But he managed to find time before arriving at the base to give his thoughts on the latest revelations involving Zohran Mamdani - the man whom the Democrats are championing to become the next mayor of New York City.In case you missed the latest, here's Bonchie to bring us up to-

The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the UN-backed body that governs global shipping, decided in 2023 to adopt a "net-zero" policy that would mandate shippers remove as much CO2 gas from the atmosphere as they emit by 2050. To encourage shippers in this vital endeavor, the UN wants the IMO to slap a "carbon tax" on the industry. This tax would not reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one single molecule. But hey! It's a "global emergency" after all, and everyone has to do their part, right?
Where is all that money from the carbon tax going? To new technology to scrub the atmosphere? If only.
In recent years, millions of foreign dollars have quietly poured into the United States to fund radical left-wing climate and social justice groups.
At the center of this network is British hedge fund billionaire Chris Hohn, whose $60 billion fortune powers the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF).
With a $6 billion endowment, CIFF has funneled more than $553 million since 2014 into U.S. nonprofits and advocacy organizations dedicated to dismantling fossil fuels, pushing diversity and equity initiatives, and advancing extreme climate policies that undermine American energy independence.
Texas attorney general Ken Paxton has asked the Texas State Securities Board (TSSB) to review what he says is evidence that entities tied to the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC)’s EPIC City project violated state and federal securities laws — and to refer the matter back so he can file suit. Paxton called the alleged misconduct “flagrant,” arguing that state law requires a TSSB referral before his office can bring a securities action.
After a thorough investigation, it has become clear that the developers behind EPIC City flagrantly and undeniably violated the law,” said Attorney General Paxton.

A gang of brazen thieves dropped the priceless Eugénie Crown outside the Louvre in Paris during a jaw-dropping daylight heist of the world's most visited museum.
The group of criminals swiped priceless items, including a necklace and a brooch once belonging to Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife Josephine, in broad daylight, forcing the tourist attraction to shut its doors.
The raid, which took place at around 9.30am on Sunday, saw the thieves brazenly break into the art museum, which is also home to the Mona Lisa, by propping a huge freight elevator up against its walls, according to an investigating source.
The group of several 'highly organised criminals' arrived on scooters, masking their
Officials in President Trump’s Justice Department have been scrutinizing crime data in recent months — they’ve found evidence that Democratic politicians have been skewing crime stats for their own benefit ahead of the midterm elections, The Post has learned.
Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker — a vocal opponent of Trump’s use of federal troops for both immigration enforcement and fighting big-blue-city crime — has lately touted double-digit declines in Chicago crime rates where “shootings and homicides on our highways are down 60, 70, 80% depending on where you look.”
But the number of felonies in Chicago — not to mention New York, Los Angeles and Portland, Ore. —

USSS spotted a suspicious stand near the AF1 zone in Palm Beach,” Patel wrote in a post on X, which included a screenshot of a Fox News article. “The FBI is investigating.”
In a statement to Fox News, Patel explained that the Secret Service “discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand” that had a view of the President exiting Air Force One. Patel added that “no individuals were located at the scene.”
“Prior to the President’s return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone,” Patel said in his statement,

Are Democrats Really This Stupid?

Every time you think Democrats have hit bottom, that they couldn’t go any lower, one of them breaks out a shovel. Yesterday was the “No Showers,” I mean, “No Kings” rally. A bunch of unlovable mutants took time away from cyber-stalking the OnlyFans people they subscribe to and got a little free vitamin D from the sun to fight off the onset of rickets. For the first time in a few years, major liberal cities across the country shifted from smelling like pot and tear gas to smelling like body odor and tear gas…and pot, because that’s how liberals roll.

Tellingly, the most senior of the nine officers axed on the 17th was General He Weidong, the second-ranked vice chairman of the Commission and Xi Jinping's No. 1 loyalist in the PLA. The general had gained prominence as Xi's top enforcer in the military.
Gen. He was not the only officer who backed Xi and has now been taken out of the military's leadership ranks. Moreover, it is difficult to identify any Xi adversary who was purged in the last 18 months.
It is unlikely, at a time Xi Jinping appears to be fighting for political survival, that he would remove his most important supporter in the military.
No More (Bureaucrats Who Would Be) Kings

If you’re reading this today, you probably did not join the aged hippies marching around with signs saying “No more Kings,”a multistate demonstration whose sponsors are not yet fully disclosed. (I don’t think Meghan and Harry are among them, though there are some foreign donors involved.) But rest assured, you didn't miss much.
John Bolton: This Week in “No Man is Above the Law”
The biggest domestic story of the week in my view was the indictment of former National Security Adviser John Bolton. If the 18-count indictment handed down by a federal grand jury in Maryland where he resides is proven, he demonstrated astonishing arrogance and disregard for national security.
The IDF began “a series of strikes” against Hamas targets in southern Gaza in response to the terror group violating the ceasefire agreement on Sunday, the military announced.
The military condemned Hamas’s “blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement,” which occurred when the terror group fired an anti-tank missile and opened fire on Israeli soldiers.
Earlier, the Prime Minister's Office announced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had instructed Israel's armed forces to respond with force against Gazan terror targets during a consultation with Defense Minister Israel Katz and the heads of Israel's security establishment.
The Gaza peace deal has rightly been characterized as tenuous at best — largely because Hamas seemingly wouldn't know honoring a commitment if it smacked the terrorist outfit upside the head. Speaking of which...
On Saturday, the U.S. State Department issued an urgent bulletin, warning of an imminent Hamas attack on the people of Gaza and also warning that the "United States and the other guarantors" would take steps to protect Gazans and uphold the "integrity of the ceasefire." Now, the IDF has indeed responded to multiple Hamas violations of the ceasefire.
An Israeli military official confirmed the strikes to Fox News on Sunday,
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has announced a set of upcoming parental control features aimed at safeguarding teens’ conversations with AI characters on its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.TechCrunch reports that in a bid to address growing concerns about the impact of AI interactions on teen mental health, Meta has unveiled a suite of parental control features that will be rolled out next year. The announcement, made by Instagram head Adam Mosseri and newly appointed Meta AI head Alexandr Wang, highlights the company’s commitment to providing parents with tools to navigate the digital landscape safely with their teens.
A federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa members on counts of “providing material support to terrorists,” the “attempted murder of officers and employees of the United States,” and “discharging firearms during, in relation to, and in furtherance of a crime of violence,” according to the indictment.
These are reportedly the first terrorism charges associated with Antifa. The charges originate from a July 4 attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, allegedly by Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, indicted, and several co-conspirators,
