Senseless Idaho Murders

When my ninety year old father's spine problems that led him to his final stay started, we called Nashville's fire department to help stabilize him. They were incredibly gentle with Dad. They ultimately carefully loaded him into the ambulance that took him to Saint Thomas Hospital. These first responders were huge, burly men who acted as angels of mercy. Anyone who targets a fire fighter in performance of duty should face the harshest sanctions law can apply. What sort of monster starts an inferno to lure those who come to extinguish it into an ambush? The attacker is gone from this earth but will face eternal fire for his evil deed. 

Could Sliwa Win?

Did you know there have been Republican mayors of New York City? No, this is not fiction, GOP candidates have actually won in the Big Apple. Rudy Giuliani won the mayor's office as a Republican, and at one time Michael Bloomberg was actually a Republican too, so it is not entirely inconceivable that at some point a Republican could prevail in New York again. It just is NOT going to be the founder of the Guardian Angels Curtis Sliwa, who stands the same chance I do, and I am not running. 

The Aliyah Option

Jewish Americans enjoy a "right of return" to Israel. The Jewish State remains the refuge for Jews of last resort, but I frankly do not see that America is that bad for our people at this moment. You may have a heart and soul call to return to your religious "roots" and that is fine if you want to answer and return to our proverbial "home", but you are not being chased there from the United States, at least not yet. 

Flee to Freedom

New York City is likely about to become Pharaoh's Egypt to its Jewish residents. They will not be taken into bondage but will have their freedom and safety grievously threatened. You had best not walk down the street in a kippah, if the Muslim Marxist wins. Better remove that mezuzah from your exterior door, unless you are eager to be targeted. Go to shul after the election- you will be taking your life in your hands. Sure you will still be able to be a Jew in New York after the vote, just don't do it publicly. Keep your faith to yourself, and maybe you won't be assaulted for it, or you could make aliyah to Israel, or move to Florida or a similar "free" US state. 

Absolute Pipe Dream

The idea that some candidates might drop out of the race for mayor of New York City, so everyone could have one pick to oppose the radical Muslim seeking the job is farcical. Is a Republican is supposed to give it up in favor of an independent? That is NOT going to happen. Nor is the converse- Adams is not leaving the race. Neither is Curtis Sliwa.  I hate to think this and fear it, but the new leader of America's largest and most Jewish city is going to be a jihad-supporting Marxist. 

Schumer's Goose Cooked

If AOC wants Schumer's seat in the United States Senate, it will be hers for the taking. Yesterday's mayoral race proved that city is a Leftist sewer, where the most progressive rat will win the election, even if he is a Jew-hater, in the most Jewish place in America. Schumer will be trounced in the DemocRAT primary, if Ocasio-Cortez decides she wants the office. The day of the moderate or centrist DemocRAT is over in the Empire State, with the radicals now holding sway. 

Rely on Iran?

The Islamic Republic has been violating international norms since Khomeini took power. You do not capture an embassy, but he did. You do not blow up peacekeepers, but the Ayatollah did. You do not assassinate people in other countries, but Iran did. You do not commission a fellow to try to stab an author dead at a conference in New York, even if he only manages to blind the writer in one eye. The mad mullahs may make a ceasefire for their own survival but will keep the truce only as long as it is to their advantage.
