Zurcher: JD Vance's eye on 2028; avoids mentioning tarrifs, relationship w/ Trump? Joneidi: his words music to Iran's ears, "our strategy is working" - Islamic regime


BBC News America, 11/4/26:

[Clip of] Chuck Schumer:

'First and foremost, our coalition moved as one body, House and Senate, to define the issues that Americans cared most about. We talked to Americans. We said, what is on your minds? And of course, number one: costs. The high cost of living... And second, they talked about Trump's corruption.'


[Screenshot of] JD Vance's post:

'The reason we lost is the war... 

If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.'

[...]

Anthony Zurcher:

Well, it's positioning ... there's no secret that JD Vance [has his eye on the 2028] for the Republican nomination. And I think they view tonight's  or last night's .. [as a] very real threat to that because he is tied at the waist...[it's] an attempt to get a little bit of daylight..what he sees as the most. The biggest problem for Trump war.

He only mentions immigration important factor in many people's votes.  [He hasn't mentioned] terrific at all, because [he has] that kind of political ideology. He wants this to be about [the war] , because he thinks, I guess that he can go between it [sic]. I mean, it's interesting the quote you read about... He was building more distance between himself and the rest of the House. 


Sumi Somaskanda:

So what does that do to the relationship between Vice President and the President?


Anthony:

... you never know what goes on behind the scenes. And as he starts watching Fox News and talking, he might get more upset about Vance trying to position himself. Donald Trump loves attention. I think that's something to keep an eye on the next two years. As all of these Republicans, not just Vance, but people, maybe like Ron DeSantis, who has been more critical recently of White House  policy and become the next nominee. And Trump wants to stay in the spotlight through it...


Khashayar Joneidi to Sumi:

Well, Sumi, the Iranian leadership was very quick in claiming credit for the outcome of the election], from the very first, very first minutes announced that the Democrats have won both houses. And now what JD Vance is saying is music to the ears of the Iranian leadership...

Mohsen Rezaei [the Major] general who is the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, the person who recently, just recently, JD Vance sent a letters to is one.. [of the people] who just announced that  this shows that Iran's strategy is working. We managed to put pain. We managed to inflict pain on the Americans on the battlefield [in the] Straight of Hormuz and on  American bases in the region.

And how this is being repeating in [sic] inside America. So Iran is taking this as a claim. And they're actually very happy to see this happening...

[...]

Actually. Today was the 47th anniversary of the takeover of the US Embassy in [Tehran].

Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader issued a statement. He emphasized that the change of Democrats on the US does not mean an end to US hostility toward the Islamic Republic.

And actually he warned that this hostility will remain..

Let's Examine Mass Killings in Recent History and Islamism

Let's Examine Mass Killings in Recent History and Islamism The Muslim Turks murdered, either directly or indirectly, between 1.5 and 2.5 million Christians between 1894 and 1924 . It was also a jihad, or "holy" war. Sudan, 1953–2004: Some 4 million dead. Written in September 2005: Genocide in Darfur – How the Horror Began , Sudan Tribune, 3 September 2005. Copied here : Racism and Islamism in Khartoum... Perhaps the most destructive civil conflict since World War II and one of the longest wars in Africa's history, it saw the Christian and animist South pitted against the Muslim, Arab-speaking North. As many as 2.5 million people have died since the second phase of the civil war began in 1983—and likely more than four million if we consider its earlier phase (1955–72).   Intra-Arab Muslim conflict, North Yemen (1962–1970): 200,000 . "Since 1965, the Libyan-backed Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen and the National Liberation Front ha...

Randy Fine easily fends off Hitlerian Bilzerian, who loves pro-ISIS Islam convert and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate.: The Hebrew Hammer and the Antisemitic Circus

Randy Fine easily fends off Hitlerian Bilzerian, who loves pro-ISIS Islam convert and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate: The Hebrew Hammer and the Antisemitic Circus Randy Fine did not merely win a Republican primary in Florida. He decisively turned back one of the strangest and ugliest primary challenges in recent American politics. Randy Fine won roughly 57% of the vote in Florida's 6th Congressional District, while social-media influencer Dan Bilzerian finished below 19%. Bilzerian had tried to make the contest a referendum on Fine's Jewish identity. His campaign descended into explicit antisemitism, including an AI-generated attack video portraying Fine through antisemitic stereotypes and material invoking Adolf Hitler. The rhetoric became so blatant that political leaders from both parties condemned it. The voters' answer was emphatic: no. Bilzerian's defeat is especially striking because he had built his public persona a...

Shattering the "Enemy of My Enemy" Narrative: The Ideological Reality of Pro-Nazi Sentiment in Arab Mandatory Palestine

Shattering the "Enemy of My Enemy" Narrative: The Ideological Reality of Pro-Nazi Sentiment in Arab Mandatory Palestine When evaluating the historical alignment of the Palestinian national movement with Nazi Germany during World War II, a common revisionist defense is the "enemy of my enemy" framework. This narrative posits that pro-Axis sympathy was merely a reluctant, pragmatic calculation aimed at leveraging German power to expel British colonial rulers and block Zionist immigration - exclusively. However, primary archival records, intelligence reports, and firsthand accounts from prominent political insiders dismantle this defense, demonstrating that popular Palestinian alignment with Nazism was widespread, enthusiastic, and fundamentally driven by a shared anti-Jewish agenda. 1933 as a "preview" The major Arab media at the time, the newspaper Falastin , May 1933, calls Hitler “noble”, justifies his persecution of the Jews, drags the infamous ...
