Vyacheslav shielded his fiancée from the terrorists - with his own body
Vyacheslav (Vladi) Golev, the 23-year-old security guard murdered in Ariel shielded his girlfriend with his body, protecting her from the terrorists. He is survived by his parents and seven siblings.
Vyacheslav (Vladi) Golev, a 23-year-old resident of Beit Shemesh, has been named as the security guard murdered on Friday night at the entrance to the city of Ariel.
Vyacheslav was murdered by two terrorists, who opened fire at his post, which he was sharing with his girlfriend.
Acting quickly at the start of the attack, Vyacheslav used his body to shield his fiancée from the bullets, absorbing them instead of her.
He is survived by his parents and seven siblings.
Beit Shemesh Mayor Dr. Aliza Bloch is currently at the family's home, offering them support together with educational and welfare services from the city.
The terrorists, who were arrested Saturday, have been named as Yahya Mar'ee, 19; and Yousseff A'asi, 20. They arrived at the entrance to Ariel, armed with Carl Gustav submachine guns in a Suzuki with yellow (Israeli) license plates. Upon their arrival at the security post, the terrorists began firing at Vyacheslav and his girlfriend before exiting the vehicle and shooting Vyacheslav point-blank.
Several hours after the terror attack, the terrorists' vehicle was found, burned and abandoned in an open field between the Arab towns of Kafr Thulth and Saniriya.

Israeli Forces Capture 2 Terrorist Killers of Ariel Security Guard
Hana Levi Julian
Israeli military forces and anti-terror units have captured two Palestinian Authority Arabs suspected to murdering a security guard in the Samaria city of Ariel.
The 23-year-old security guard, a resident of Beit Shemesh, was shot and stabbed to death late Friday night at the western entrance to the city by two Arab men as seen in security footage from the scene.
The footage showed the men pulling up in a car, getting out and opening fire at the security post, returning to the car, and then getting out again to stab the guard before returning to the car and driving away.
The guard was reportedly on duty at the time with his fiancée, whom he shielded with his own body during the attack, saving her life.
Emergency medical personnel from Magen David Adom was forced to declare the death of the guard after resuscitation failed; a second individual at the scene was taken in shock to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon.
The getaway vehicle was later discovered, burnt, in the nearby Palestinian Authority town of Safit.
The two suspects, both in their twenties, were arrested in the Palestinian Authority village of Qarawat Bani Hassan following an investigation by Israel’s Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency.
The weapons used in the attack were also recovered during the arrest, “following intensive intelligence and operational activity by the Shin Bet, IDF and Israel Police,” according to a joint statement by police and the Shin Bet.
“The security forces will continue to work to bring to justice those who are involved in terrorist activities and with anyone who assisted them,” the statement said.

Congress Should Reject Biden's
$33 Billion for Ukraine.
We're broke, on the brink of
recession, and why let rich
Europeans off the hook while
losing sight of the direct threat
from China?
By Christian Whiton
Europe can probably defend itself.
Joe Biden wants to give $33
billion we don’t have to Ukraine
to prolong the war with Russia.
To put that in perspective, for
that amount we could buy three
new aircraft carriers and put
them in the Western Pacific to
deter war with China. Better
yet, we could buy ten new
Virginia-class attack
submarines or 300 F-35 stealth
jets.
China’s navy now has more
ships than the U.S. Navy and a
lot less geography about which
to concern itself. While we have
spent the last two decades
developing an ineffective
counterinsurgency capacity
fighting in Mideast backwaters
and underwriting security for
wealthy Europeans who can
afford to defend themselves,
Beijing has fielded a military
that could threaten us directly.
Europe won’t help us deter war
with China or fight one if the
worst happens. We badly need a
larger Navy and Air Force. We
should reposition the entire
Marine Corps to the Pacific as
we did in World War II, cut the Army to a base force, and
develop and test a new
generation of nuclear weapons
along with the stealthy,
maneuverable, and hypersonic
vehicles to deliver them. We also
need to win the new space race,
which is with China, not Russia.
None of this crucial shift will
happen if our ruling elite is
wasting defense money and the military’s attention span
fighting the Europeans’ war for
them. Europe has a $21 trillion
economy, 400 million people,
and it screws us on trade while
skimping on defense. Now is
their time to pay up. Joe Biden
proclaimed “America is back”
on his first trip to Europe and
said he was restoring diplomacy
with our “traditional” allies,
whatever that means. So, work
your magic Joe. Did he even ask
his European friends to pony up
before pushing Congress to put
tens of billions more on the
national credit card?
USS North Dakota, a Virginia
class submarine. Wouldn’t you
rather have ten more of these
lurking in the Western Pacific?
Even though the Biden
administration and media have
downplayed the fact that the
U.S. economy is now shrinking,
the reality is that America faces
tough economic times. Because
of the inflation it has caused
through out-of-control spending
and diluting the dollar, the
government must now tighten
monetary policy going into a
recession. Asset bubbles in the
housing and stock markets look
ready to pop. Our total debt is
130% of what the country
produces in a year, and the
interest rate the market
demands for new debt may rise
sharply. Energy costs are out of
control—due in part to
imprecise Biden sanctions on
Russia that both Democrats and
Republicans cheered on. Few
believe the Federal Reserve will
tighten monetary sufficiently to
arrest inflation. All of these
developments foretell recession,
persistent inflation, and a
government spending crisis. The
latter will require across-the-
board spending cuts, including
to defense appropriations. Is
now the time to go deeper into the wrong war, at the wrong
place, at the wrong time, and
with the wrong enemy?
Giving Ukraine what amounts
to a blank check also
discourages peace. Since victory
seems impossible for either side,
only an agreement between
Moscow and Kiev can end the
war. We have some incentive for
Russia to pay an unexpected
price for invading Ukraine and
therefore hopefully forego other
conquest. However, escalating
the war further will increase the
civilian death toll in Ukraine
and defer any ceasefire—
possibly to the detriment of
Ukraine since it appears Russia
has regained the initiative on
the battlefield.
Furthermore, U.S. assistance
has become so excessive and
overt that there is the risk that
Russia will see itself as at war
with America, not just Ukraine.
That perception, which risks
nuclear conflict, is something
that every president of both
parties carefully avoided during
the Cold War. It is a huge risk
for America with very little
prospective payoff.
Let Europeans defend Europe.
Unlike during the two world
wars and Cold War, they can
well afford to do so themselves.
America needs to focus on
forestalling economic crisis at
home and deterring China.

PA 12 is too much of a stretch for a Republican to win in the fall. Or is it?
BySalena Zito
PLUM, Pa. — At 56 years old, Mike Doyle wondered if the opportunity would ever arise for him to pursue his long-held goal of running for Congress; the Plum Borough Council president said he was always willing to take the risk, but a few things got in his way, including his name.
“Representing the region is a very serious job; it felt too much like a gimmick to run against the current congressman — also named Mike Doyle — in a head-to-head race,” said Mr. Doyle, a Republican and businessman who has lived in this borough since the other Mr. Doyle ran and won his first race in 1994.
The seat was also basically a guaranteed Democratic seat because of the way the district was drawn, so he wasn’t going to chase windmills. That outlook all changed beginning last October, when Rep. Doyle — who has comfortably held the seat for 27 years — announced he was retiring at the end of this term. The Plum councilman said his decision to run was cemented when re-drawn maps took the seat from an overwhelmingly safe.
Democratic seat to one that is still pretty Democratic, but now includes the conservative suburbs of Westmoreland County. Couple that with the fact that the Democrats’ frontrunner, Summer Lee, is a certified superstar among Democratic primary voters who skew further left than the overall base of the party.
The latest polling on the Democratic primary — conducted by Emily’s List — shows Ms. Lee with a very comfortable lead, ahead of her next-closest competitor by 25 percentage points, 38% to 13%. Ms. Lee, a Braddock native who moved back to the area after graduating from Howard University, began as a community organizer steering a local school board in a new direction, then received encouragement from the local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America to challenge a long-time incumbent — and moderate — Democrat in 2018. She won, as did two other DSA-backed women across the state who took on moderate Democrats and won seats in the state House.
Ms. Lee has not always been embraced by the establishment of the party; from the very beginning party leaders failed to recognize this force from the left wasn’t a one-off. What’s more, their efforts to organize behind their own more moderate candidates have fallen flat. So, come November, if Ms. Lee continues her winning streak in the primary, she will face Republican Mike Doyle, who says he wants to offer voters a candidate who will represent the district, not the Republican Party.
“First, in terms of bloated government, I have had a record of working with council members from both parties and getting things done — like eliminating duplicated services in government, which saved millions of dollars to the taxpayers, streamlined the borough administration, [and] has helped our bond rating tick up,” he said.
Mr. Doyle said that in listening to voters across the district he has found that — like many places in the country — crime, inflation, the border crisis, education and energy top the list of people’s concerns.
“People view the border crisis as a fast track for their family members, children and people in the community having quick access to fentanyl, a deadly force no matter what kind of neighborhood you call home. It is inescapable,” he said of the epidemic. “It is a serious problem that few in Washington are taking seriously.” Mr. Doyle has watched the state move center-right in down-ballot elections in both 2020 and 2021, and points to the abysmal approval numbers Democrats currently hold with voters as an invitation to go into neighborhoods and talk to voters about an alternative message.
In the latest Morning Consult poll, President Joe Biden approval rating in Pennsylvania is only 41%; Doyle calls that an opening to earn votes.
Dave Wasserman, the House analyst for the Cook Report, says it’s a stretch for Mr. Doyle to win in a district that’s still quite blue, but he said in a wave election cycle like this one appears to be, nothing is impossible.
“The most relevant statistic about the new PA-12 is that President Biden carried it by 20 points; that’s down from a 30-point margin in PA-18 under the current lines, but it still makes it an extreme reach for any Republican,” Mr. Wasserman explained.
For context, no House Republican represents a district that’s bluer than Biden +11.
Wasserman said the only time we see upsets in these types of seats is if there’s a deeply flawed Democratic nominee — usually someone under indictment: “It’s rare for the minority party to make up that much ground on ideology alone. But if ever there were a year for Republicans to put this kind of seat in play, it would be 2022.”
Kyle Kondik, House analyst for the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, agrees: “PA-12 is probably too Democratic of a district for Republicans to win in any environment, although the combination of a potentially problematic nominee and a GOP wave-style election could test how Democratic it is,” he said.
This also isn’t the first time a candidate for office could potentially benefit from the same name as a previous candidate: In the 1960s Robert P. Casey, a Scranton Democrat, was a Pennsylvania golden boy who ran for state senator at age 30, governor at age 34 (he didn’t win that cycle) and state auditor general at age 36.
By the 1970s several unknown Bob Caseys decided to run for office, with one of them — a low-level county official — actually getting elected state treasurer in 1976, and another — a Pittsburgh biology teacher — earning the 1978 nomination for lieutenant governor.
The confusing signs for the “real Bob Casey” were everywhere for several cycles.
Mr. Doyle says he has met Rep. Doyle several times over the years, and the two have maintained a very cordial relationship.
“I’ll be honest with you: In 2005, when I first got elected to council, people were asking me to run against Mike Doyle, and quite frankly, I was offended some people took running for office as a joke — because doing that at that time would have made me look a clown,” he said.
“I believe I have something to give back here to the community. Public service is a high calling in my book; I stand by my record in office,” he said.
“I can’t help if my name’s Mike Doyle. I could change it to Bob, but what’s that going to do? You know what I mean?”
