Not a Mobster

Can you imagine if someone was given the power to go back and investigate everything you had ever done, and more than that, everything anyone you associated with had ever done, and then could use anything against them to compel them to reveal or even make up charges against you? That seems to be exactly what Robert Mueller is doing to our President.

The Dirty Tricksters

President Trump did not scheme with the Russians to win his election. Donald Trump did not try to fool anybody. Hillary Clinton and her crew, including Robert Mueller, are trying to trick America at this very moment!

Real Light Weights

A photogenic socialist might win an election to a seat in the US House of Representatives, maybe even a statewide race for US Senate, but we have not been dumbed down enough nationally for a Beto O'Rourke or Krysten Sinema to unseat Donald Trump. If Trump seeks another term, he would thrash either of these good-looking empty suits. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is too young to run for President at this point, but Trump would defeat her too if she was able to run against him.

Never Held Accountable

Back after the September 11 massacre, Patsy Murray said the Afghan people supported Osama bin Laden because he provided them with daycare. No joke, this Democrat politician spouted those words after the worst terror attack in world history. She is still serving as Senator nearly two decades later. Brian Schatz, just said Trump is using "chemical warfare" against the so-called "caravan of border breakers, but Hawaii will reelect him as their Democrat Senator. Krysten Sinema insulted her own state's voters in Arizona but somehow, by hook or crook, won her Senate bid. Democrats can say anything and are never held to account for it.

The Holiday Calendar

Every day is a holiday if you love what you are doing. Unfortunately, I never met anyone who loves what they are doing that much.

Day of Rest

For many, Sunday is the Sabbath. Today (Sunday), I will be driving around four hundred miles to pick up a rambunctious three year old. It will be a day of little rest for me.

Season of Peace

For many, the time before Christmas is the season of peace. With jihadists slaughtering Christians across Africa and the Middle East, and threatening the Christians of Pakistan based on fake charges, followers of Christ do not seem to be experiencing peace right now.

Consumerism As Virtue

People who are swept up in the buying frenzy of Black Friday may not be so bad. After all, how often are those obsessed with shopping out committing terror or starting wars? `

Your Blessings Count

If you are reading this, you are on the good side of the ground. Chances are, you will have enough to eat today. Are you relatively whole and healthy? Are those you love doing alright? Chances are that you have more blessings than you can even count. Happy Thanksgiving!

A Magic Act

Netanyahu has an amazing capacity to herd cats. If you told me after the disaster in Gaza, Netanyahu would remain Prime Minister, I would not have believed you. Somehow, Netanyahu is never held responsible for his failures.

The Tech Wreck

Remember when you were raking it in and said, "how high is up?" I long for those halcyon days too as my 401k withers on the vine. What went up is sinking now.

Stoking Race War

Democrats are telling African-Americans "their votes didn't count in Florida and Georgia". Democrats are proclaiming the reason Republicans won those states is racism and cheating. These instigators are trying to start a race war with their lies.

A Crazy Congressman

An idiot sits in the US House of Representatives. His name is Eric Swalwell and he represents the land of fruit and nuts, California. Swelled-head Swalwell suggests we should nuke Americans who want to keep their guns against the Democrat push to abolish our Second Amendment (and the natural right of self-defense it upholds). Does this moron not realize he would kill millions of Americans in his efforts to steal guns from fellow citizens? If you drop an atom bomb on an area of "stubborn clingers", you will kill not only the gun owners but people who never owned and never wanted a gun. Swalwell's attitude is what must be resisted, not our President who recognizes our natural rights.

Stop Global Cooling

After some hysteria generated over the last few weeks that a new study showed the earth was warming faster than predicted, the study had to be retracted due to error. It seems we are actually in a cooling period, with some even predicting a mini ice age. I do not know which scientists are correct, but know for certain we can not be warming and chilling at the same time.

The Perfect Leader

Maybe, Netanyahu will remain Prime Minister. He has demonstrated that he is deeply flawed. I would imagine whoever succeeds Netanyahu will have feet of clay as well. I bear no malice to Netanyahu but think Israel might move forward in greater safety with new eyes assessing the ancient problems.

Netanyahu Must Go

When an Israeli leader quakes at the prospect of fighting a terror organization, it is time for that leader to go. It is time for a new leader for the Jewish State. Any progress made regarding relations with the Sunni Arab states has nothing to do with Netanyahu's achievements and everything to do with the Sunni fear of an advancing Shiite Iran. The warming of relations between the US and Israel has nothing to do with Netanyahu moving the ball forward and everything to do with America replacing anti-Israel Obama with pro-Israel Trump in the US Presidency. Netanyahu has clung to power long enough. It is time Israel give new blood a chance to eliminate the threats Netanyahu has failed to tame.

A Shameful Capitulation

For Israel to permit Hamas to stay in power in Gaza, without their capacity to launch attacks seriously degraded, removes any notion of deterrence, not just about aggression from Hamas in Gaza, but Hezbollah in Lebanon as well. When a show of strength is most needed, Netanyahu is demonstrating weakness!

Very Little Difference

While Israel is under direct attack by Hamas, it bears remembering that Hamas is very much like its rival, the Palestinian Authority. Hamas wants to kill Jews and destroy Israel, just as Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority want to kill Jews and eliminate the Jewish State. Israel really has no partner to seek peace with in either faction of Palestinian leadership.

Middle East War

Israel has been in a low intensity conflict with the Hamas terrorist group in the Gaza Strip for months. The fight has just picked up intensity to enter what looks like a broader shooting war. Israel sent an undercover unit into Gaza yesterday in the wake of months of riots attempting to breach the border into Israel, particularly on Fridays, weeks of balloons being filled with incendiary devices being wafted into Israel by Hamas and its terrorist affiliates, and a Hamas member sneaking across the border in the last few days only to be apprehended by Israel after burning a greenhouse. The Israeli mission into Gaza was ambushed and an Israeli officer killed. Hamas then proceeded to fire hundreds of projectiles into the Jewish State, killing at least one Israeli civilian in Ashkelon and injuring more than a dozen Israelis. No nation can tolerate this level of aggression from a terrorist group and Israel should not be expected to either. The Jewish State must respond with sufficient force to quiet the Hamas terrorists, even if that means overturning Hamas rule in Gaza.

Day to Remember

We commemorate the end of the First World War today. If the Allies had not prevailed, we might all be subjects of a Kaiser today. If we had not prevailed in World War II, I (being Jewish) probably would not be here. Thank you to all those in the US military today and in the past for preserving our liberty, always with some sacrifice, and sometimes, with the loss of their own lives. Freedom is never free.

Drought and Fire

Some of the areas of California that are considered to be among the most desirable actually seem to have a lot of drawbacks. Most folks know or have heard how beautiful Malibu is, but with earthquakes, drought, and now terrible fire, I do not think I would want to reside there.

Guns Not Guard

An armed guard or guards at the entrance to a gathering place might not prevent a massacre. If a potential assailant knows the location of armed security, he may attack them first, by surprise, and end up having more guns and ammunition with which to commit a massacre. Attacks will only be deterred by preserving the element of doubt in the mind of an attacker. If one or several security personnel are dispersed within a crowd with concealed firearms, a potential shooter will never know who will be able to resist him with equal force. This is the only common sense measure that has a chance to work in curtailing mass shootings.

Sometimes No Reason

When a mass killing takes place, investigators often find the motive. No matter how twisted, the murderer's rationale is ferreted out. Occasionally, a motive is never found. In last night's California massacre, the reason may never be discovered. We now know the murderer was a veteran, but why he went off we may never understand.

No Blue Wave

There was a split decision in yesterday's elections. Some of it was good for the nation and our President. Some of it is undeniably a setback. The Republicans hold the US Senate. Governors' races were split. Unfortunately the dastardly Democrats took the House. President Trump may still be able to advance his agenda to make America even greater.

All About Prosperity

If you want a growing economy and a thriving nation, go out and vote Republican today. If you want higher taxes, ever more burdensome regulation, a slowing economy, a third world invasion, and government intruding more and more into your life, vote Democrat. What you do today will impact America for generations, for good or for ill.

The Dead Voting

Some folks seem to be voting from the great beyond. Either that or they happen to be one hundred and twenty. Either way, I bet these corpse ballots almost all end up being cast for Democrats.

To Be Undecided

At this late stage in the election process, how could anyone who intends to vote not have made up their minds? If you care enough to vote, have you not already educated yourself about the issues? What is going to change between now and close of polls Tuesday to shape your vote?

Peace and Pasta

Have you ever noticed that virtually every nation has some sort of noodle dish? Whether the multitude of different pastas enjoyed by Italians, to lo mein in China, to German spaetzle, to udon and soba in Japan, the varieties around the world are almost endless. If people could come together over most things the way they do over a pasta dinner, the world would be a better place.

Compelled to Vote

Did you ever notice that in many dictatorships, ninety-nine percent of people vote and all for the same candidate? Nothing gets you to the polls faster than the threat of a bayonet in the belly. Thank goodness we have a right to vote here rather than a mandate.

Exercise Your Franchise

In some countries, people do not have the chance to vote. In some places, candidates always run unopposed. In America, you have the chance to vote for real candidates with real differences. Early voting is wrapping up just about everywhere, but you can still vote on election day, which is next Tuesday. People have given their lives for your right to vote. Make sure to exercise that right.
