TV report: Senior officials in the coalition understand that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided not to promote the judicial reform, TV report says.
Senior officials in the coalition are claiming that the judicial reform is “dead” and have been referring to in the past tense, with the understanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided not to promote it, Kan 11 News reported on Friday.
According to the report, the decisive factor that caused Netanyahu to back down from the judicial reform was the political pressure from the White House, among other things the fact that President Joe Biden has not yet invited him to Washington.
Biden recently offered very harsh criticism of Israel, saying he is “very concerned” about the goings on in light of the judicial reform and adding, “They cannot continue down this road.”
Biden also added he will not be inviting Netanyahu to the White House in the near term.
Earlier this week, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that a visit by Netanyahu to the White House had not yet been scheduled but he expects one to take place “at some point”.
According to Friday’s report, Justice Minister Yariv Levin does not intend to resign from his position despite the fact that the judicial reform appears to be off the table.
In conversations with political parties, Levin said that if there is no change in the composition of the Judicial Selection Committee, in the composition of the Supreme Court judges and in the abolition of the seniority system when it comes to judicial appointments, it would be better to shelve the proposal than to compromise.This is, among other things, due to the fact that an agreement in the talks being held in the President's Residence will harm Levin from a political standpoint.

Justification For Troops - Jean-Pierre FUMBLES?
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre found herself in a challenging position this week when attempting to explain why the Biden administration is deploying troops to a border she and others in the administration have claimed is “secure.” Her response, “Because we need more work. We need more—work needs to be done,” left many scratching their heads.

The Trump 2024 Dilemma: What Would Ben-Gurion Do?
He saw the need to help the British fight the Nazis while opposing the British occupation of Palestine.
By Ruth R. Wisse
“We can’t win with Trump and we can’t win without him,” a friend said, echoing many other sober Americans. But I suggested that recent Jewish history shows a way out of the bind Republicans face in regaining the White House without its former incumbent.
Adolf Hitler intended to wipe out the Jews of Europe. Jews in the Land of Israel urgently needed to provide refuge for the millions being refused entry everywhere else. They faced resistance in Palestine, where the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, was determined to prevent the fleeing Jews from entering their homeland. He incited the local Arab population to violence, warning the British overseers of potential pan-Arab resistance against the British throughout the Middle East.
Britain had been entrusted with the mandate for Palestine after defeating the Ottomans in World War I. Though the mandate was intended to include the establishment of a Jewish national home, three-fourths of the territory was given to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and British authorities undertook neutral supervision over the rest. The more the Arabs rioted in the 1920s and ’30s, the more the British gave way to their demands and prevented Jews from arming in self-defense. This culminated in the British White Paper of 1939, which severely restricted Jewish immigration and prevented Jews’ rescue from certain death.
The dilemma: The British also were simultaneously leading the fight against Hitler. No matter how cruel, British policy couldn’t outweigh the need to help defeat the Nazis. Faced with these opposite threats, David Ben-Gurion, head of the World Zionist Organization and de facto leader of the Jewish state in formation, declared: “We will help the British in the war as if there were no White Paper, and fight the White Paper as if there were no war.”
The two-pronged struggle allowed for no triangulation, no choice of the lesser evil. The mufti’s alliance with Hitler made it all the more urgent to help end the war, even as British appeasement of the Arabs made it more urgent to end the British occupation. Ben-Gurion’s strategy saw thousands of Palestinian Jews fighting on the Allied side and as many defying British rule to create the state of Israel.
This double imperative I offer my fellow Americans who confront Donald Trump’s bid for the Republican nomination. The need to support the former president and to defend his accomplishments dare not grant him the party’s endorsement, while the need to defeat him in the primaries must not empower those who sabotaged his presidency and remain primed to destroy him.
Without question, great wrongs were committed against the 45th president, who was baited and thwarted from the moment he took office. That abuse was directed no less against the voters who elected him to keep America resilient.
We will never know what more Mr. Trump might have accomplished had his opponents not conspired to prevent him from governing. The near-totalitarian media bias that kept all coverage of him negative makes his achievements all the more admirable.
In the book “The Case for Trump,” which covers only the first half of his presidency, Victor David Hanson touts “massive deregulation, stepped up energy production, tax cuts, increased border enforcement,” as well as near-record-low minority unemployment, a strong stock market and low inflation rates. In foreign affairs, the Abraham Accords are enough to secure Trump’s reputation. Of domestic successes I would single out the influence of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos in trying to keep schools open during the pandemic, promoting charter schools, and shutting down the government’s assault on due process in sexual-misconduct proceedings.
Yet in her letter of resignation dated Jan. 7, 2021, Mrs. DeVos laments the president’s role in blackening the record of those achievements. About the unconscionable behavior of the rioters the previous day, she writes, “There is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had.” The qualities of leadership that had made Mr. Trump electable, he himself abused more damagingly than his detractors had damaged him.
Moreover, he gives no hint of correcting his poor judgment, and shows his party and its members none of the loyalty he demands of them. The legal cases against him will, one hopes, result in honest verdicts. The political case against him is more consequential.
It is now more urgent than ever to recover and restore the best of America, but also more difficult because the former president fails to embody the greatness of America that he seeks to restore. Sober Americans will therefore defend the Trump record without supporting his candidacy, and deny him re-election while defeating those who did not allow him to govern.

American Constitutional Rights Union
The decision by the Arizona Attorney General to sacrifice young women seeking to excel in sports upon the altar of gender dysphoria is highly disconcerting. The left desires to erase women from our society. Biological males wishing to compete against females is not heroic, it is cowardice personified. And those supporting this absurdity are utterly deranged and in violation of the constitutional rights of Women in America.
I encourage you to read more about this issue in the recent Grand Canyon Times article here.

Why can't Democrats understand this?
If you want to destroy tranquility you do the following:
1) let radicals know you will not enforce the laws.
2) You defund the police and make them know if they enforce the law they will be jailed.
3) You allow criminals to roam the streets and destroy commercial stores and plunder merchant's.
4) Eventually people cannot shop so merchants and citizens leave and go elsewhere.
5) City revenue declines so municipality services decline and more people desert the cities etc.
6) The lawyer liberals hate, "Rudy," when he was mayor of New York, did the opposite. In fact he instituted strict enforcement and initiated a broken window program and NewYork became a mecca and flourished.
7) Because Rudy associated with Donald. Democrats weaponized their attacks, ruined his law practice and tried to have him disbarred.
8) Oh yeah, Soros began to finance campaigns of radical district attorneys who chose not to enforce many established laws and what do you think happened? Crime increased.
