Well, well, well what do we have here. The lead attorney for the
Ukraine whistleblower is a supporter of Joe Biden. Joe Schoffstall of
the Washington Free Beacon found this gem. It all connects to this
nonsensical impeachment push House Democrats have decided to embark on
in the last 24 hours. You see, President Trump called Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelensky and supposedly shook him down to
investigate the son of the former vice president, Hunter. Quid pro quo
and ties to foreign aid were also allegations that were lobbed by
Democrats regarding this conversation. Trump was said to have withheld
aid regarding this investigation, but the transcript was released this
morning. And it was another underwhelming development in this ongoing
war the media has waged against the Trump White House. No one read the
transcript and the House Democrats were off to the races for
impeachment. Trump was asking the Ukrainians for help in the Department
of Justice’s probe into the origins of the Russia investigation, it was
the Ukrainians that brought up Biden first, and there was no quid pro
quo, no aid ties either. So, this was straight trash…again.

Democrats Wrote to Ukraine in May 2018, Demanding It Investigate Trump
Democrats wrote to the Ukrainian government in May 2018 urging it to
continue investigations into President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion
with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign — collusion later found
not to exist.
The demand, which came from U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ),
Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Patrick Leahy (D-VT), resurfaced Wednesday in an
opinion piece written by conservative Marc Thiessen in the Washington Post.

Israel...the now and forever Jewish
State of Israel...the land God Our Father gave to his chosen
people...the Jews. Israel today...a country literally risen from the
ashes of six million dead...a land rightfully mandated by U.N. law to
be the Jewish homeland. Yet it's a land never seeing a true day's peace
for the islamic wolves at her door continue to salivate as they not
so patiently wait to lay claim to land that was never and will never
be theirs.
Israel...not only America's staunchest ally in
the Middle East but in the world. Israel is also the very country we have the strongest military to military alliances with. Israel...a land of
prosperity, modernization, and innovation where Jews and Christians
live side-by-side as one Israeli people...a people whose borders are
breached only by those still wishing all Israeli's...all Jews and
Christians...dead. Israel...a country not unlike ours when it
comes to the playing of political games for politics is truly also
Israel's "enemy within." And that enemy within can clearly be seen in
the recent Israeli election...an election that remains in contention and
probably will be for some time. More on that in a bit.
And Israel and the United States
share much in common as in our core beliefs, freedoms, morals, values,
and ideological unity above all else...no matter that our actual systems of government are
quite different in that ours is, for the most part, a more cut and
dry major two party system where as Israel's government is built by
coalition replete with minor party alignments. And our governing
differences can also be seen in the fact that while we are a
Constitutional Republic, Israel is a Parliamentary Democracy with its having no
formal constitution per se. And yet some
key functions of a constitution are filled by the 1948 Declaration of
Establishment, the Basic Laws of the Parliament, and the Israeli
citizenship law of 2013...a law which allows every Jew to becomea citizenof Israel, pretty much automatically.
Also,
our three branches of government...executive, legislative, and
judicial...are somewhat different as well. Briefly, our executive
branch is headed by the president while Israel's is headed by the
prime minister with the president being more of a state figurehead.
Our legislative branch is bicameral...the House and the
Senate...while Israel's is unicameral... as in the Knesset. As for our
judicial system,
I think Israel's judicial
system is better in one specific area as their Supreme Court, which
sees justices appointed by a Judicial Selection Committee comprised
of all three branches of government, has a mandatory retirement age
of seventy. No Ruth Bader Ginsberg types hanging on out of political
spite. And while our Supreme Court sees the president
nominating justices, who if approved are appointed for life, we also
have the U.S. Court of Appeals, District, State, and County
courts...Israel does not.
And even though the three main branches of our two governments differ to some
degree, they do at the same time basically serve the same purpose.
However, it's our party system itself where we and Israel differ the
most. How so...we are mainly a two-party system...Democrat and
Republican...with some minor and some not so minor parties like the Conservative Party, the
Libertarian Party, the Green Party, and a few others picking up the
slack... while the Israeli government, as in the Knesset, is currently
comprised of 17 political parties with 35 other political parties
wanting but not having seats in the Knesset. This translates into the
need for coalition building and for alliances to be formed...meaning
to become the dominate party in Israel said party needs a total of 61
seats out of the 120 seats in the Knesset with Knesset seats being
elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide
constituency.
Confusing
I do know but it is what it is, and this system works...kind of...in a
tiny country surrounded by a pack of ever hungry islamist wolves. And
yet it's actually all this confusion that could hopefully still see
the great Benjamin Netanyahu remaining Israel's prime minister.
But
let me explain by first saying that I truly believe Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu is indeed the world's last great statesman...a
statesman of the old and honorable school who is now fighting for
both his political life and the future of his country all because of
a man, a party, and an ideology that fail to understand that neither
political deals nor peace can be made with the devil...the devil in
this case being any and all wishing Israel gone. And let me also say
that by making such deals with the devil Israel will no longer be a
Jewish state...for what Hitler started misplaced allegiances and
alliances will finish.
So the bottom line before this past Monday's "recommendations" alliances were made was that there was no clear majority winner in Israel's latest
election as BiBi's “Likud” party held 31 seats...now up to 32 seats...and his opponent, ex-armed forces chief Benny Gantz's “Blue and
White” party held 33 seats with both falling well short of the
mandated 61 seats needed to form a majority government. Now also think
of it this way...the right-wing “Likud” party is the
Republicans and the centrist, leaning to the far left “Blue and
White” party (actually a nick-name of sorts for the Kahol Lavan
party) is the Democrats...conservatives vs. liberals
Israeli-style...and both men and their parties needing to build a
coalition of the lesser parties in order to either take over or keep
power. But even that seemed to be at a standstill as just
last Sunday Israel's President Reuven Rivlin began talks with both
main parties about choosing a leader to put together a coalition...a
“unity”...government.
“It's
up to Israel's two biggest parties, the first and second that are
almost equal in size, to join forces...so that you together manage
and establish a system that brings a stable government,”so
said Israeli President Reuven Rivlin just one week ago.
And why a “unity”
government...because the center-left has no realistic option numbers
wise of forming a government without “Likud,” and a now
being talked about third election could lead to political chaos. But
remember, a “unity” government is not new to Israel as
Israel has seen several such governments...governments where major
rival parties worked together to form a workable and successful
ruling coalition. Such a coalition was formed in the days leading up
to the Six-Day War, and after both the 1984 and 2009 elections.
And Netanyahu is open to forming a
“unity” government, in fact he appealed to Gantz to help
him "set up a broad unity government, demonstrate
responsibility, and pursue cooperation," as
well as to allude that he might be willing to accept a power-sharing
arrangement with Gantz...something which Yitzhak Shamir and Shimon
Peres did in the mid-1980s. But
Benny Gantz is not, as he stated that he would only
lead or be part of a "liberal" coalition...a secular only coalition which would exclude the two ultra-Orthodox parties...the Agudat Israel Party and the National
Religious Party...along with another
nationalist-religious party.
Translation: under Gantz's version of a
coalition the Jewish State of Israel would, as previously stated,
most probably be Jewish no more...surely not with the secular, anti-religious
government Gantz is proposing...shades of our very own Democrat
party I'd say. And besides, Gantz also fears that a “unity”
government with the right numbers and right parties could see
Benjamin Netanyahu garnering bargaining power along with the
possibility of him alone holding onto the prime ministership.
Benny Gantz chooses to forget that there is a
reason why Israel is formally known as the “Jewish State of
Israel”... Benny Gantz forgets
the six million dead.
So what did Benny Gantz...the man who
wants to sellout Israel to a two-state so-called Palestinian
solution...do to stop the Reuven Rivlin proposed, Netanyahu agreed
to“unity” government from forming? Gantz outwardly and
quite maliciously courted the Arab-dominated “Joint List,”
which said it was ending its long standing policy of not supporting
any of the main candidates for prime minister after any elections. And
why exactly is the “Joint List” ditching this their long
standing policy...as per party head Ayman Odeh, it's because they
must remain focused on their prime goal which is to “bring an
end to the era of Netanyahu, so we recommend that Benny Gantz be the
one to form the next government.”
Sleeping with the
devil, thy name is Benny Gantz.
But even with the “Joint List's” endorsement...and know Gantz got 10 of their 13 possible "recommendations"...he still fell short of the needed 61 votes, nor
does it mean that the “Joint List” will finally get to sit with any
governing coalition, something they surely expected in exchange for their support. And this new alliance is suspect, in and of
itself, as Israel's current leadership is both questioning and
investigating this unprecedented increase in voter turnout by Israel’s
21-percent Arab minority...as in Arabs not voting before nor even
being registered to vote now suddenly being registered and bused to
the polls to vote for Gantz. Shades once again of our own Democrat
voting fraud. And it's this busing action alone that allowed the “Joint
List” to win 13 Knesset seats, now making it the third largest
winner of seats...thus affording an Arab party...a decidedly
anti-Netanyahu, anti-Israel party...too much power if you ask me.
And this sudden
increase in Arab voter turnout...especially in six key precincts...surely bears the hallmark of outside
involvement. George Soros or Barack HUSSEIN Obama perhaps....two arch
enemies of Netanyahu who relish in driving the knife deeper into both his
and Israel's back.
So
that left, amongst but a few others, former Netanyahu ally turned
turncoat, far-right former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, whose
Yisrael Beitenu party secured eight Knesset seats, to possibly be the
potential decider. And while Lieberman has reiterated his previous
calls for a “unity”
government, he has also stated that he would not be recommending either candidate to be Israel's prime minister, leaving one to wonder if Lieberman
could “be bought”...if you will...by
Gantzas the lesser,
in his mind, of the two evils.
And
then there's thereligious
parties representing Israel’s Ultra-Orthodox communities...
communities known as "Haredim"...who remain a key factor in this
equation,with “Shas”
winning nine seats and “United Torah Judaism” winning
eight seats.But even
if all their votes went to Netanyahu that too still does not bring him to
the needed 61 vote either... “close but no cigar”
as they say..
So
what would happen if a “unity”
government could not be formed...if Benny Gantz does not agree to one
like Netanyahu has? It simply would mean there will be yet another election “do over”
as Israeli's will head to the polls for a third time to chose between
the “Likud” party...Netanyahu’s
right-wing so-called "flagship party"... the party which rightfully
opposes a Palestinian state (after all the so-called Palestinians already have a state and
it's called Jordan), the party which rightfully supports
"settlement" annexation, and the party which encourages privatization
in the economy...vs...Benny Gantz's “Blue
and White”
centrist coalition...a coalition solely created to
oppose Benjamin Netanyahu and his “alleged corruption.”
And
know that “alleged”
is always the operative word for the fraud, bribery, and breach of
trust charges brought against Benjamin Netanyahu reek of the same
nonsense as Donald Trump faced with the “alleged”
Russian collusion charges...as in nothing but a set-up to discredit
BiBi before his election as happened with President Trump.
And in an effort to avoid the above stated scenario, this past Monday,
President Rivilin had a meeting with both Benjamin Netanyahu and
Benny Gantz after he finished consulting with all political parties
involved. As it stood at that point in time, Benjamin Netanyahu
received 55 “recommendations” to become Israel's prime minister while Benny Gantz received 54 such “recommendations,” meaning that while both men failed to secure the needed majority of 61
out of the 120 Knesset seats, on Wednesday, President Rivlin tapped Benjamin Netanyahu with the mandate to form the new government within 42 days after receiving the final results of last week's election. Especially noted was the fact that the National
Democratic Alliance (the Balad party), an ally of the "Joint List," said
it did not and would not support the " Joint List’s" position to vote for or support Benny Gantz for prime minister...thus clearing the way for BiBi to remain Israel's prime minister...if said new government is formed.
And while some progress was also
made on Monday in the fact that Rivlin said "significant steps" in
negotiations over the formation of what will be that new government were made, he made it clear that some "compromises" had to be made on both sides especially since Benny Gantz has stated that he will not serve under Netanyahu...not even as his "second in command"...until he is cleared of any wrongdoing. And to that I say he will be.
So now the task of forming a new government begins. And to that affect Benjamin Netanyahu issued this statement, wise man and honorable that he is, "I know the only way to form a new government is a unity one. We need unity to unify everyone and to reconcile the people."
And if a "unity" government
cannot be formed, President Rivlin stated that the "opportunity" could pass to the
next candidate who has the greatest chance of forming a new government...as in Benny Gantz...or else Israeli's would surely be headed back to the polls for election number
three...something no one wants to see happen.
So for now Israel, with Benjamin Netanyahu as its prime minister,
remains the Jewish State that God Our Father...and the U.N... intended her to be. And Benjamin Netanyahu's fifth term in office looks promising indeed... and for the Jewish State of Israel's sake...for the Middle East's sake...and for America's sake...I pray it is so.
