When Will the General Assembly Suspend Israel?
By Kathy Kelly, World BEYOND War
The Biblical Book of Job chronicles a string of catastrophes relentlessly plaguing the main character, Job, who loses his prosperity, his home, his health, and his children. Eventually, an agonized Job curses his own existence as well as the god that created him.
Numerous interpretations of the story exist, and more than one version has circulated through the ancient Near East. One version concludes with Job avowing repentance. “I know that my redeemer liveth, and so I repent in dust and in ashes.”
The Latin root for the word ‘repent’ is pensare – to think. ‘Repent” suggests an effort to rethink.
Job’s surprising repentance has been on my mind as calls increase, in 2024, for the United Nations to rethink its relation to Israel as a member state. Increasingly, civil society groups are pressuring Permanent Missions to the UN to eject Israel as a voting member of the General Assembly.
To paraphrase Pankraj Mishra, writing for the New York Review of Books, a stunned world has watched with disbelief as the United States provisions Israel with weapons enabling a mass murder spree across the Middle East.
Trump selects Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence
LifeSiteNews
The president-elect praised the former Democratic congresswomen and said she'll bring a 'fearless spirit' to the intelligence community as a member of his cabinet.
President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he would nominate former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).
Gabbard, a former Army lieutenant colonel and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, is known for her staunch non-interventionist foreign policy. After leaving the Democratic Party in 2022 over its “warmongering” and “woke” positions, she joined the Republican Party and endorsed Trump’s presidential bid earlier this year.
“As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties – She is now a proud Republican!” the statement added. “I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights and securing Peace through Strength. Tulsi will make us all proud!” Trump said in a statement.
Can Trump Succeed?
Paul Craig Roberts
There’s many a slip between cup and lip
I have been speaking with MAGA Americans and, as I suspected, there is little comprehension of the vast impediments to renewal. The swamp that Trump is to drain is entrenched and institutionalized, but Trump supporters think that with Trump elected and the Senate and House in Republican hands the job is done.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The majority of Republicans in the Senate and House are RINOs, not Trump supporters. They are part of the establishment and comfortable in it. Mitch McConnell is forever as he is in the process of demonstrating. This Wednesday McConnell is holding the election of the Senate Majority Leader. His two candidates, chosen without any input from Trump, are John Thune and John Cornyn, neither being MAGAs. Senator Rick Scott, more likely to be helpful to Trump, is running against the establishment’s candidates. If the establishment prevails, Trump’s strong appointments are likely to be blocked or to languish unconfirmed. The prospect of being blocked can discourage an appointee from accepting the appointment.
The establishment can also hamstring Trump by rushing through many unfriendly judicial appointments. Trump Americans need to understand that the enemy has not folded its tents and left the field.

'New world order, anachronistic NATO and courageous Trump': Highlights from Putin's talk at the Valdai forum
RT.com
Speaking just one day after the Republican candidate's US election victory, the Russian president explained Moscow's position on a range of global issues
Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed pressing global issues at Sochi's annual Valdai Club forum on Thursday. Interviewed by renowned foreign affairs expert and RT contributor Fyodor Lukyanov, Putin delved into topics ranging from NATO and international security to the ideological roots of current global tensions, openly challenging Western policies and proposing a multipolar vision for the future. Here are the major takeaways from Putin's remarks.
Putin addressed Donald Trump's sensational US election victory, calling him a "courageous" politician who has shown resilience despite apparent assassination attempts and legal challenges. Putin said he is "ready to talk" with the American president-elect.
Putin congratulates 'courageous' Trump and expresses willingness to engage with him
"We see him as a capable leader," Putin said, praising Trump for continuing his political career under what he characterized as "unfair scrutiny." He added that Trump's foreign policy might offer a chance to reset US-Russia relations, though he did not specify any specific agenda items that a future dialogue might tackle. The president has previously noted his opposition to the "anti-Russian" stance he perceives from the current US administration and hopes Trump might pursue a "more constructive" path.

2024 Election: Assessing the Unlikeliness of Trump's Victory and the Dangers to Electoral Integrity
By Joe Granville
When the formula is calculated, it yields a very small probability—around 1.45 × 10⁻¹⁴, or 0.00014%. This result suggests that, mathematically, Trump's victory is extremely unlikely under these assumptions.
A centrist in the Tea Party, I do not take the integrity of the 2024 United States presidential election for granted. My concerns are based not on conspiracy theories, but on statistical improbabilities side-by-side with historical patterns and the potential for deep state (TPTB, a non-partisan gelatinous mass) manipulators. We must view the results of this election through the lens of empirical evidence and the possibility of electoral malfeasance. If Trump’s victory is mathematically improbable among key demographics, serious questions should arise for any keen observer, even for Trump voters.
Improbable Results: Trump's Share Among Key Demographics
The head-scratching proportion of votes that Trump received from women voters—who are traditionally considered a constituency more favorable to the Democratic Party and Feminine Health Rights—may constitute the most salient and statistically improbable outcome of the 2024 election. According to exit polls, Trump secured an astonishing, temples throbbing 60% of the white female vote, a result in stark contrast to historical patterns. Women have overwhelmingly voted in larger numbers for Democratic candidates. Even after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, which galvanized political activism among women, this outcome is highly inconsistent with the historical trend. People are nuanced, polling data is less so. Please continue.
Our Fragile Infrastructure: Lessons From Hurricane Helene

Asheville, North Carolina, is known for its historic architecture, vibrant arts scene and as a gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was a favorite escape for “climate migrants” moving from California, Arizona, and other climate-challenged vicinities, until a “500 year flood” ravaged the city this fall.
Hurricane Helene was a wakeup call not just for stricken North Carolina residents but for people across the country following their tragic stories in the media and in the podcasts now favored by young voters for news. “Preppers” well equipped with supplies watched in helpless disbelief as homes washed away in a wall of water and mud, taking emergency supplies in the storm. Streets turned into rivers, and many businesses and homes suffered extensive water damage if they were not lost altogether.
The raging floods were triggered by unprecedented rainfall and winds, but a network of fragile dams also played a role. On Sept 27, when the floods hit, evacuation orders were issued to residents near a number of critical dams due to their reported “imminent failure” or “catastrophic collapse.” Flood waters were overtopping the dams to the point that in some cases the top of the dam structure could not be seen.
We Are All “Palestinians,” Now!
By: Brett Redmayne-Titley
"When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty."
It is not inaccurate to determine that we, the remaining moral world, are in reality also Palestinian by metaphor. Likewise, we are all individually disenfranchised, country-by-country, by a cadre of purported nationalist politicians who are doing the work of- and for only one nation.
As they do so, the disdain they publicly boast against the correct morality expressed by their public, as shown by the ongoing violence these minions reap on civilized society by legislation or cop, is not merely deliberate. It is arrogant and loud.
These politicians, The Bastards of Zion, serve only one master. This is all too obvious: Massacre by massacre.
During the height of the previous Israeli Genocidal slaughter, “The March of Return” of 2018, I penned the article, “World: WE are all Palestinians Now!” Therein, I noted by comparison, country-by-country, how the people of the EU, Britain, USA, and others had effectively been locked by these same political concubines into an ever-narrowing dominion of country and... of mind!
It was slaughter then. It is genocide now—societal genocide.
Yet, the Palestinians of the world, are being attacked on all fronts in the ridiculous attempt to have all Palestinians worldwide quietly go home...to countries whose societies are already substantially destroyed by the economic bombings of Zionism and its minions. If not by bomb, then by media trickery and anti-populist impositions, austerity, and more-and-more war that have delivered all the “western” countries on earth into a continuing downhill spiral of fiscal, political, societal and mental poverty.
Can A Tsunami of Trump Votes Give Power Back to the American People?
Paul Craig Roberts
The Democrats are set to steal the election. They have everything in place except enough votes to hide their theft.
Watch the video of the Trump Grand Finale, listen to the speeches by Robert Kennedy and Tucker Carlson. Marvel at the massive audience. It appears that Americans have cast off their insouciance and are going to take back their country from the two corrupt political parties, both of which have unleashed evil on America and the world.
Tucker Carlson LIVE Tour Grand Finale With President Donald Trump in Glendale, AZ
The American ruling elite, which is evil beyond comprehension, will not take kindly to their loss of power and exposure of their crimes. The FBI, CIA, NSA, Secret Service, and Clinton murder machine only have to assassinate four people–Trump, Bobby Kennedy, Tucker Carlson, and Elon Musk–and the country is back in their hands.
Considering the extraordinary support that both Trump and Bobby Kennedy extend to Israel, it is unclear how an America that supports and enables the Genocide of Palestine can be made great again.
