Are You Kidding?

The side that is winning elections by "questionable" means will never do anything to ensure that elections are conducted on the straight and narrow. Glenn Beck aired a good program Wednesday that showed how vote tallies might be manipulated and elections compromised but kept saying that this was "not a partisan issue". Beck declared Republicans and DemocRATS want straight elections where the results are trusted. I think one party he mentioned definitely only wants to win, no matter the means. That would be Joe Biden's side folks. 

Trial of Century?

What is happening in New York with Alvin Bragg and President Trump is of small consequence, a nuisance case, entirely without merit, and only brought to interfere in the upcoming election. The consequential court proceeding is the one before the United States Supreme Court. That one will establish whether Presidents in America are able to preside anymore, because without immunity, you have diminished, in fact crippled the Office ever thereafter. 

All Just Lies

Biden was portrayed as a nice guy. He was "lunch bucket Joe", a regular dude, just a bit smarter. In reality, Biden is a greedy, mean-spirited serial liar, who values nothing beyond enriching his close circle and perpetuating his own power.

Order from Chaos

Even with COVID, America was more peaceful with Donald Trump as President. Biden with his reverse Midas Touch has sullied everything. I yearn for the days when all we had to fear was mean Tweets. Peaceful streets and quiet universities are manifestly better than the anarchy facing the United States now. 

Eat More Brain

The repetitive chanting mob at US universities reminds me of zombies. They seem like zombies who need to "eat more brain" because they certainly appear to lack gray matter of their own. 

The Tumbling Towers

Hamas is no different than the al-Qaeda murderers of September 11, 2001. The terrorists that attacked Israel on October 7, 2023 murdered wantonly, just as the bin Laden boys killed indiscriminately in their flight-borne orgy of blood and fire. The mindless mobs on campus are not simply assailing the Jewish State but freedom itself in favor of the submission that is Sharia (whether they are aware of it or not is of no consequence). They are Hitler Youth and Mao's Little Red Book robots rolled into one. 

Perfect Palestinian People?

Israel is widely accused of killing "innocent Palestinians" and even the Jewish State's primary benefactor America is insisting the IDF present a plan to protect civilians in Rafah before any action is launched there. In the first instance, an argument must be made challenging the "innocence" of the folks who inflicted the worst mass casualty event on Jews since the Holocaust. Are there Arabs in Gaza who did not participate in the October 7, 2023 outrage? Certainly, just as there were Germans who did not march into Poland in 1939 or blitz London until the last V1 and V2 missiles stopped raining down. It is utterly irrelevant that a side that has initiated unprovoked and bloody aggression against a peaceful neighbor has members in it who are not actively participating in ongoing massacres. It is enough that they do not stop the murderers in their midst from attacking innocent Israels while hiding behind them as witting shields that they make themselves a legitimate target. That and the fact that these so-called "civilians" cheered on and abetted October 7 (and many even entered Israel to loot, rape, and murder though they were not part of any particular terrorist group), and that to this moment, though they know the location of terrorists and the hostages they are holding, these noncombatants would rather die than help Israel save kidnapped Jews. Palestinians are so distrusted by their Arab brothers that even Egypt with its long border on Gaza will not allow Palestinians into their territory because wherever Palestinians go, they become a destabilizing and hostile element that stabs their hosts in the back. 

A Pin Prick

I am not certain that the slight retaliation the IDF inflicted on Iran was wise, tactically or strategically. By engaging in such a minor sortie, Israel may not have demonstrated strength and enhanced deterrence, but just the opposite. I do not think fear struck the hearts of the mad mullahs after such a limited response to the bold-faced aggression of Iran. 

Everybody Blames Israel

Outside of the Jewish State, virtually every world power judges Israel to be the culprit in the Middle East. Notwithstanding that since the Shah was overthrown, Iran has made it their goal to destroy the "Zionist Entity" as a start to bringing on End Times and seeing the "Great Satan" (America) fall. Israel did not capture a US Embassy and hold Americans hostage for years. The Islamic Republic did that, just as Tehran has orchestrated a proxy war against Israel and gave blessing and support to the massacre of Jews on October 7, 2023. The true and only bugbear that keeps the region boiling is Iran, and Israel had to respond to restore any deterrence before the mad mullahs started to believe they could nuke Tel Aviv with no consequence. 

Separate the Aid

Most Americans at this point do not care about the Ukraine. They either never did, and did not want American resources squandered there, or they recognized how wrong Putin's aggression was, but now see much of the US money sent there vanished in a black hole of unaccountable corruption. Many in America still want Israel helped at this time of great peril for the Jewish State, and also would like enough US support delivered to Taiwan to preempt any invasion by Red China. It is largely only the Ukraine that folks think has seen too much of our help diverted away from fighting Russia already. There should be clean bills for Taiwan and Israel and a stand alone vote for Kyiv because voters here now recognize the endemic waste and graft there. 

Not by Sufferance

Jews have not fared well traditionally when they relied on others for their security. The survival of the State of Israel can never be contingent on the whims of allies. The IDF must answer Iran's overt aggression, or certainly, that sort of attack will be repeated, expanded, and eventually involve a nuclear weapon fired by the Islamic Republic. 

Not "Pro Palestinian"

I keep hearing journalists intoning "pro-Palestinian protesters blocked a bridge" or "demonstrators in support of Palestine pulled down hostage posters". These rioters are not for the Palestinians but are certainly against the existence of a Jewish State. How could someone who wants the so-called "Palestinian people" under the control of bloody-handed and corrupt Hamas be for anything but tyranny and murder, just as supporting the mad mullahs of the Islamic Republic is an act against the people of Iran? Man's natural yearning for freedom extends to Persians, Kurds, and Arabs. If you support terrorists and theocrats, you are an enemy of humanity. 

Hold Israel Back?

If Israel does not remove Iran's nuclear capacity now, those arms will soon wipe the Jewish State from the map. It only takes one nuke hitting Tel Aviv, and there is World War III and no survivable state for the Jews in the Middle East. 

A Panicked World

The globe teeters on the edge of World War III, after Iran, which has been covertly attacking Israel since the fall of the Shah through proxies, has just openly launched drones and missiles against the Jewish State. This blunder by the Islamic Republic gives ample justification for the free nations of the world to take out Iran's nuclear capacity before it too is turned on Israel. 

Need Knife Control?

At least five people were murdered in a shopping mall in Australia by a knife-wielding assailant before he was shot dead by a female officer. Perhaps it is time to consider laws banning possession of knives outside of homes, or "common sense" laws requiring every facility where people might gather to strip search anyone who enters for potential weapons (sarcasm intended). 

Whither Goes Kentucky?

In the South, Alabama football and Kentucky basketball have reigned supreme. I do not believe Mark Pope as the new head coach at UK will attract as many one and dones to the program the way Calipari did, but that might actually improve the on court success of the team. Pope does not seem like a genius tactician either but still might win more than the Wildcats have managed in recent seasons. 

Matter of Priorities

If abortion is more important to you than feeding your family, you have some miserable values. If you vote this cycle to preserve access to abortion over reversing the decline of America, you should examine your heart and head. 

Just a Theory

I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee and always wondered at the caliber of some of our street performers. Why would an authentic virtuoso be performing for change in a cup and perhaps a few dollar bills, while someone less talented scored a million dollar album deal?  I have after more than half a century come to the conclusion I had long suspected that it really is who you know, who you are related to, and/or who you are able to hire to represent you. There are tremendous talents working in a riverboat show for three thousand dollars a month and going to a food bank to feed their families, while a lesser performer strikes it big using Auto-tune, Pro tools, and MIDI to disguise all the flaws they have and enhance their listenability. Life is not fair, and neither is the music industry. 

My Fearless Forecast

I predict rain some days, clear skies on others, and no connection whatsoever between eclipses and man-caused climate change. On-air "talent" claiming men cause eclipses are morons. 

Witness a Dynasty

Connecticut men's basketball is a dynasty in the making. Unless Tracy McGrady in his prime comes back now and suits up for Purdue, the Boilermakers are boiled. We had a powerhouse in Kentucky under Rupp, and a colossus that will never be equaled in UCLA with Wooden, and we must include the Huskies under Hurley in this rare and distinguished list. 

Beware Fake Glasses

Apparently, some unscrupulous people have sold fake solar eclipse glasses. If you look at the event wearing nonfunctional glasses that provide little or no protection, your vision could be damaged. You could even potentially be blinded. Please confirm your glasses are real and work before looking into the sun! 

A Football School

The University of Alabama's men's basketball squad had a great run this season. They advanced to the Final Four for the first time in the history of the program, before they were thrashed by defending national champion Connecticut, from a school that is the Pabst Blue Ribbon of state universities. I will bet U Conn could not have duplicated that effort against the Tide on the football field. 

Vision to Prosper

Joe Biden clearly possesses the "vision to prosper"  by whatever means in his own life and the lives of his family members but lacks the ability or even the desire to translate that more broadly to the nation and the American People. The Biden family members around Joe certainly gained from their connection to Joe but that did not help work-a-day folks here in the slightest. In fact, the venality of the Biden clan seems to have harmed the country but greatly benefited some East European oligarchs and the leaders of Red China. 

Know Your Friends

Biden was sorta, kinda a Zionist until it exacted what he perceived to be a cost, that being support for DemocRATS among Arab and Muslim American voters, who like their brethren in the Middle East, largely want to see Israel erased from the world and the  Jewish People murdered or subjugated. Crooked, fading Joe could have stood by his principles if he had any and discouraged further terrorism the world over by declaring loudly and boldly that America stands foursquare with the Jewish State in her efforts to stamp out terrorism and recover the Israelis still being held hostage in Gaza, but Biden didn't do that. He stabbed the only real democracy in the region in the back, the only place that shares anything remotely like American values in the back at the time of their greatest peril. The Biden regime continues to empower the Islamic Republic of Iran at the same time Netanyahu is publicly slapped down for trying to save Israel. It is a tragedy aid workers and civilians are killed but all the responsibility for a shooting war even happening redounds solely on the murderous terrorists who Pearl Harbored the Jewish State on October 7, 2023. Biden should have laid the blame only there, demanded Hamas capitulate, and that the captives held in Gaza be immediately released and that the Terrorists capitulate unconditionally. Biden is proving himself to be a foe of freedom and an enemy to Jews. 

More Professional Policing

Some members of law enforcement in the United States lack sufficient training. When deputies shoot a girl running away from her kidnapper numerous times, it is a reflection of gross incompetence. You end up with a hysteria when one officer has discharged his weapon, and the rest join in, without any legitimate reason for any firing in the first place. Then, you just had a mentally distressed teen threatening to harm himself after locking himself in a bathroom with a knife. You don't deconflict that situation by breaking into the room and opening fire on an unstable person. These events could largely be averted with more thorough training. 

Cataclysm Without Warning

A massive earthquake struck Taiwan yesterday leaving at least seven dead. That sort of event is largely unpredictable. Construction codes may create buildings where occupants have a better chance of survival, but even if people were warned that a huge tremor was about to strike, more folks might be killed in the resultant panic to escape structures by crushing or even falls, that the advance knowledge of the quake about to happen might cause more harm than good. 

A Tornado Warning

In areas prone to tornadoes, regulations should be passed requiring trailer parks to have storm shelters, perhaps one for every four occupied units, wherein the cost of initial installation and later maintenance could be split between the owner of the facility and the tenants. All too often deaths that could otherwise have been prevented when these storms hit mobile home parks, but residents had no safe(r) place to go. The bit of advance warning weather detection technology gives us now in many cases is great but meaningless if no shelter is available in a particularly exposed community. 

Why Burn Bibles?

In a town near Nashville, the city I was born in and where I have spent the majority of my life, some heathen burned a trailer full of Bibles, at Easter! What sort of devil would do this? What message in Holy Script did this moron find offensive? Is nothing sacred anymore? 

Who Welcomes Spring?

Did you ever notice that in the Northern Hemisphere, most of the major faiths have a sacred season that coincides with the arrival of spring? It is almost as if they co-opted pagan rites of spring. The Muslims are in the midst of Ramadan. The Jews have Passover, and for the Christians, it is the holy season including today's Easter. Whatever your beliefs, may this day be a good one for you. 

Day of Visibility?

The Biden regime has proclaimed a "Transgender Day of Visibility" in the midst of this sacred season. I think the degenerate community gained sufficient notoriety with last year's Covenant School massacre wherein one of their crew slaughtered three adults and three eight year old students, but their hits just keep on coming as transsexuals subsequently killed other people who did not embrace their perversions. 

Such Strong Support?

Republicans worked mightily to thwart many of Donald Trump's initiatives from the moment he was elected. Some used the rationale that they were doing this because he had the (completely concocted) Russian charges hanging over him. Paul Ryan put roadblock after roadblock in Trump's way. No GOP leader has similarly pushed back against venal dementia patient Biden as he is dragging the nation into the sewer. because almost all Republican leaders are part of the "grow the swamp" team alongside crooked but fading Joe. 

More Ridiculous Projection

I have typed a million or more words in support of Donald Trump, but when I post one pro-Trump meme that someone else came up with lauding the once and future President's commitment to Israel, on Facebook, the Trump derangement crew crawl out of the woodwork. They say with zero evidence for and ample evidence to the contrary that Trump is an anti-Semite, pro-neo-Nazi, and racist to boot. I guess they watch too much MSNBC, read too many editions of the New York Times, or only listen to NPR. While Trump himself is not Jewish, his daughter converted to orthodox Judaism, most of his grandchildren are Jewish, and Jews were always well-represented within the ranks of highest ranks of the Trump Organization. Ask Dr. Ben Carson if he thought Trump was racist. The problem with those opposing Trump is that they never allow facts to get in the way of their paranoia. 

Who to Condemn?

The United Nations has voted to impose an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Is it a surprise that a multilateral organization dominated by Islamic states and tyrannies would line up against Israel's right of self-defense?

Another American Betrayal

Just as America stabbed anyone that loved freedom in Afghanistan in the back with Biden's precipitous withdrawal, and incidentally also abandoned our own forces there to the tender mercies of the Taliban and the suicide bomber they allowed to approach, killing thirteen American troops and injuring many others, fading Joe is now selling Israel out by removing our cover for the justified actions of the Jewish State at the United Nations. The United States is also apparently slow-walking the resupply of weapons to the IDF to thwart their victory in Gaza. It is a shameful day in Washington when we facilitate jihad to make sure "never happen" happens again! 

The Greatest Ever

Aaron Donald is retiring from the National Football League after a decade of dominance. In spite of being twenty to fifty pounds lighter than most defensive tackles, this alpha-Ram was one of the few at his position that opposing offenses had to game plan around,  having opponents that did not have a fullback on their roster often place a tight end in the backfield on passing downs just to slow Donald down. Some teams thought they could run on him or wear him down by sending the ball carrier right over undersized Aaron, but it never worked. Donald likely had more years of competition if he wanted them, but nobody knows his body like Aaron himself and after delivering a pounding for ten glorious years, this best all-time tackle is hanging up the cleats. 

Fading Front Man

Many supporting Biden's election for his first term in the Oval Office contended that Joe would be a "moderating influence" both for his political party and the nation, that he would be the "steadying hand" against the radicals like Ilhan Omar and bring calm back to the streets after George Floyd. In fact, fading Joe is nothing but a figurehead used to push the Leftist vision forward, the somewhat more palatable face of Occupy Wall Street lunatics and and black block ANTIFA thugs, the shell the rabid America haters are using to destroy us from within, and a broken shell at that, as clearly whatever faculties Joe once had, they have now departed. 

A Common Enemy

It is a shame that Russia is at war with the Ukraine. Everyone on earth would likely rally to fight as one if aliens landed from space to murder all humanity. Space invaders need not come though to have the civilized world embrace the same fight. The unworldly threat is posed by violent, expansionist, political Islam, and this movement seeks to murder all those not a part of it. The decent around the globe should join together to vanquish these barbarians.  

Another Disappointing Season

The University of Kentucky's men's basketball team was shown the door early by a school most folks have never heard of that is definitely not a factory for future NBA players. Oakland, no not the Raiders (who have moved anyway and don't play basketball) upset the heavily favored Wildcats. The Southeastern Conference powerhouse likely has a half dozen future pros on its current roster, and the Golden Grizzlies do not have one baller who will be on an NBA roster. John Calipari has proven to be a great recruiter and is outstanding at developing talent, but almost anyone coaching UK will bring in talent, and it is increasingly clear that Calipari is not stellar at X and O strategy and in-game adjustments. His teams lose consistently to teams with lesser talent. It is not the University of Calipari or a developmental league franchise for the National Basketball Association, but the University of Kentucky, and Kentuckians deserve better than they are receiving from the enormously compensated but underperforming men's head basketball coach. 

Define Your Terms

Do you really want a ceasefire in the conflict in Gaza? There was in fact a ceasefire in effect until the morning of October 7, 2023, and it was Hamas, not Israel, that broke it. There can be no "ceasefire" with Hamas because they will not cease fire and have in fact promised to conduct October 7 style massacres over and over again against Israel until the Jewish State is wiped out. Jews of Israel want peace, a true and lasting one that sees the genocidal jihadists vanquished and lasting security for the Jews on the Land promised them by G-d. The only way to achieve this is victory over the terrorists who hold Gazan Palestinians as their human shield hostages. 

Never a Win

The problem with conservatism in America is that in spite of the Right having better ideas, the Left controls all the institutions. Education is in the thrall of radicals. The entertainment industry is dominated by self-proclaimed "liberals" who have a great disdain for the Western civilization that enables them to ply their craft. The Courts thought to be a staid bulwark of the United States are just the opposite because almost no lawyers are genuinely conservative, and they become the judges, almost all of whom are squarely in the camp of the Left. So if you ask why the celebration of Texas being able to stem the invasion of the Southern border was short-lived, even though the Lone Star team had won before the United States Supreme Court, the answer is that Texas was constrained thereafter by a lower Court dominated by those against the Nation. 

America's Two Faces

Just last week, Joe Biden welcomed Ireland's leader at the White House. American politicians almost universally praise and salute the participation of the sons and daughters of Erin in the US political process, but according to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan (himself of Irish extraction) when Jews raise their concerns here, Israel is "interfering" in the elections of the United States. So the old dual loyalties canard rears its ugly head but only for the People who were massacred on October 7, never for any other group. 

Schumer Betrays Jews

Is having Jewish representatives a benefit to the the Jewish People or the Jewish State? Not necessarily, as Senator Schumer just proved by advocating for the replacement of Israel's Prime Minister at the time of the most dire threat to Jewish survival since the Holocaust. Israel would be much better off with a non-Jew truly committed to Zionism, rather than a court Jew more interested in advancing himself and protecting Biden than defending his brethren. 

Context Is Everything

Donald Trump does not like Nazis. He does not endorse tiki torch white supremacy marches. He does think and did say there "were good people" on both sides of the debate about preserving or removing historic monuments. Biden is an inveterate and manipulative liar in the grip of senility. He and more importantly the vile cabal behind him know that Trump is not calling for a "bloodbath" or a civil war in the United States. Trump was clearly talking about how Biden's policies will destroy the auto industry. That is all and was clear in Trump's speech, but lying Biden has nothing to run with but distortion and lies. 

Everybody Hates Jews

Everybody may love Raymond but that sure is not the case for Jewish People of which I am one. When the Prime Minister of Ireland comes to the White House with Saint Patrick's Day right around the corner, that world leader and Biden both denounce Israel's conduct in Gaza. Do either of these phonies recall October 7, 2023? Did they notice Jews are still being held hostage in Gaza? I would not trade the Irish mouthpiece and the American figurehead for what you would find on Benjamin Netanyahu's shoes. Bibi is one of the few and the most consequential of the world leaders actually fighting against global jihad and Islamist totalitarianism. 

Out on Fani

We just saw a judge betray his oath, the Constitution, and the nation. If you want faith in the justice system and the country completely undermined, do exactly what was just done in Georgia. 

Over Served Danger

It is not right to simply kick an intoxicated individual out of your bar. You recognize they are impaired and therefore, must provide a safe ride home (or to their motel or other accommodation) because you have already made the determination they are drunk. You can't just kick them out and leave them to their own devices. You must make every effort to protect someone who was just patronizing your business, and not leave them to the tender mercy of the street. 

Bread and Circus

Texas is a football mad state where thousands of people pay on a Friday night to watch a high school football game. The Houston Oilers were well-supported there until they alienated a sports loving city and the fan base that backed them for decades. They came to Tennessee where it appears they will ultimately do the same thing. The Titans organization demands and has been granted a huge windfall in public funding while not really even making an effort to retain the beloved stars of the team, the ones likely to have produced a more competitive team had they been re-signed. The now Titans just let one of the best running backs in NFL history Derrick Henry go, and he will be replaced with a player who is a good but not exceptional professional player. I have come to the conclusion that the team will gladly take our bread (money), but it will be their circus. 

Stakes for Biden?

Biden demonstrated moral clarity at the inception of the recent hostilities that Hamas launched against Israel on October 7, 2023. In a rare instance of doing the right thing, Joe stood with the side that suffered a sneak attack and the worst butchery of Jews since the Holocaust. Now, Biden is reversing course after vote counting, which is selling whatever is left of his soul to genuinely genocidal barbarians. If he had continued with the courage of his convictions. Joe might have had some voters stay home, but it is highly unlikely that they would go out to vote Trump, who by his actions, was the most pro-Israel President ever. So a few Muslim and/or Arab DemocRATS might not participate in November but Biden could have cemented Jewish loyalty to that party forever, but Joe seems eager to disregard and throw away the support of those who back the Jewish State in her battle for survival. 

Jews Like These

What difference does it make to the Jewish People if some of those who wield influence in the entertainment industry also happen to be Jewish? They may not be pro-Israel or even have any affinity for other Jews. Just look at last night's Oscar ceremony (which I did NOT watch) and see Jewish luminaries more than happy to stab their coreligionists and the only sanctuary country for persecuted Jews in the back, or look further back at the rise of Hitler that the Jews then dominant in Hollywood did not decry even though they had the platforms to denounce the rise of Nazism.  

Jewish Benedict Arnold

Hollywood bigwigs who are nominally Jewish should not stab their beleaguered brethren in the back, and yet on the Oscar telecast, some did. These traitors should never be welcomed in or considered part of the Jewish community again. Their families ought to sit shiva for them, and they should be treated as pariahs. 

Going for Broke?

The United States under Biden has had the deficit grow approximately one trillion dollars every hundred days. America is so beyond broke that soon we will not be able to even service the debt. The interest alone will be larger than the whole economy other than the government. Nothing good will ultimately emerge from modern monetary theory. After cooking all America's proverbial chickens, the nation will really want for eggs, but have nothing left but memories.

Palestinians Demonstrate Gratitude

In October of 2003, three security guards from the US State Department were murdered by a bomb as they escorted diplomats who were going to interview Gazan students seeking scholarships to study in America. That is right- when the United States was trying to extend a hand to Gaza- terrorists blew it off. Hamas does not value human life. In fact, these terrorists loudly proclaim "they love death more than the infidels love life". Do you really think it is a good idea to expose hundreds of US personnel to extreme risk to build, operate, and maintain a humanitarian aid "pier" in the midst of America-hating jihadists, when no lack of food exists in Gaza, and where virtually everything brought in is diverted by Hamas for their own corrupt use? The solution to the problems of Gaza is not a pier or aid drops but the thoroughgoing elimination of Islamist terrorists in Gaza. 

The Great Unifier?

Joe Biden ran for President to return the nation to "normalcy". He was going to unite Americans. In the event, right through last night's State of the Union screed, Joe has tried to divide America. He sees an "us" versus "them" country, where those on Biden's side are given things at taxpayer expense, but those perceived as being against this are censored, silenced, and even imprisoned. Fading Biden has not let his incandescent hatred of the Second Amendment burn out. While letting in ten or more million essentially unvetted foreigners, Biden declared he is still coming for your guns. That's right, with countries around the globe sending the United States all the criminals and lunatics they are releasing from expensive to maintain secure facilities, fading Joe is coming for your best means of defending your family, so-called "assault weapons" and high capacity magazines. In his speech, Biden is showing he is such a humanitarian that he will scapegoat Jews and build an unnecessary pier for Jew-hating Muslims baying for Jewish blood while already destroying US aid dropped in or brought in by other means. There is plenty of relief already flowing into Gaza that Hamas simply takes for its own use or steals from the needy to sell back to them at extortionate prices. So we have this class envy stoker now stoking Jew hatred too offering solutions that don't actually help anybody. So after last night's lousy campaign speech posing as the State of the Union, you can conclude that if you want Israel wiped from the face of the earth and a civil war in America, vote Biden. 

State of Union

If the puppet masters are able to prop Joe up for his big upcoming speech, it will be something of a miracle, but it is hard to see this regime soaked in the blood of aborted babies being able to summon up any divine mercy. With their dual sacraments of killing the unborn and sexually mutilating underage basket cases, it is hard to believe the Biden gang has earned any blessings. 

Trump Rises Higher

Donald John Trump all but secured the Republican Presidential nomination yesterday by nearly sweeping Super Tuesday. Something catastrophic would have to happen for Trump not be the GOP candidate. Of course, Trump is not young, but I pray his health holds up, so that he may make America great again. 

Our Civic Duty

Sometimes, there is no candidate who you truly want to vote into office, but today, I really want to cast my ballot for Donald John Trump. It is time to make America great again! 

Colorado Strikes Out

The drug-addled Marxists who have taken over elections out Rocky Mountain way tried to kick the once and (hopefully) future President off the ballot, but just had their heads handed to them by the United States Supreme Court, not a close run five to four decision, but nine to zero with even the liberal associate justices voting to let the people vote for the candidate of their choice. This decision is the right one, and whoever ultimately takes the Centennial State, it must be left to Coloradans to decide for themselves who they want as President of the United States. 

Inviting Jew Killing

The international community and the Biden regime have (inadvertently) prolonged the conflict in Gaza and caused more carnage with their attempts to save "innocent" Palestinian lives. They may or may not have been well-intentioned, but the results of their interference are malicious to both Israelis and Gazans. The carnage may well have been over quickly and the death toll much lower had the US and United Nations simply said that because of the October 7 massacre, they support all IDF actions needed to secure the member state and bring to justice or eliminate the perpetrators of the pogrom. Instead, from the outset, the UN has demanded Israel restrain their forces and even America has held Israeli forces back from victory. If the Israeli military had been permitted to use overwhelming force by the world, the Palestinians would likely have recognized the futility of their fight and sued for peace. The Jewish hostages would have already been home alive with their families, and Gaza would be in the process of being reconstructed by generous international donors with the blessing of Netanyahu, and with no Hamas remaining to pose a future threat. So instead of bringing peace, all the international caterwauling has perpetuated more unnecessary bloodshed. If the Palestinians knew from the beginning that their struggle was hopeless, they would have given it up already, but with multilateral bodies and even America throwing the terrorists lifelines, of course, they will keep up the fight, and the unwarranted criticism of the Jewish State has stoked attacks against Jews worldwide. 

Who Inspires Confidence?

Do you really want to vote for a fellow who talks to dead people and thinks Egypt is Mexico? Are you going to cast your lot with a man who has abused public service as a means to enrich himself and his family while taking from yours? Are you sticking with the guy that essentially has to pay folks to attend his rare rallies, or the one who always has thousands trying to hear him speak? 

Such a Contrast

Biden finally went to see the Southern border yesterday, in the particular area where the least illegal aliens are crossing. Fading Joe spouted some balderdash about climate change being the motivation for the refugees coming to America. He ignored the fact that he magnetized the country by ending all the common sense Trump border policies, and then started actually paying folks to sneak into the United States (everything from free smart phones to multi-thousand dollar debit cards as rewards for entering illegally). He did not look like a leader, because he is not one, but like the fragile and confused old man he is. Donald Trump was also at the border, at the sector of it most frequently being breached. He spoke with energy and purpose about what needs to be done and what he will do to secure our nation when (G-d-willing) he returns to the Presidency. 

Mexico and China

Without our neighbor to the South serving as conduit and Red China supplying the chemical precursors, America would have no Fentanyl problem. These are "gifts" to the United States from a parasite state that without remittances from aliens who should not even be in America and all the money they send flowing back across along with the funds from trafficking drugs and now illegal alien trafficking too, would have almost no economy to speak of, beyond tourists and petroleum, that would be enough for some places, but not for Mexico. And then there was Beijing, which wants world hegemony, and is well on the way to achieving it with their empty-headed dupe Joe Biden in the White House.

Not Sustainable America

How many more innocent Americans need to die before the government enforces the Southern border? There never had to be "angel" moms, if the Untied States only took security at the border as seriously as rich folks take theirs in gated communities. If you do not have a border, are you really even a nation? 

Not So Super

I am not sure if Nikki Haley is a masochist or a moron. I am amazed money people are still donating to her sinking campaign as they usually don't squander resources like that. I give the former South Carolina Governor good odds of winning exactly no state primaries on Super Tuesday. 

Another French Strike

My father last visited France in the late 1950's and early 1960's, and even then was warned to conceal his American identity as much as possible, as France was then riven with anti-American unrest and strikes. Over a half century, France is still afflicted with much hate towards the US, and has just endured another strike. I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same, at least in Paris. 

The Delusional Candidate

Nikki Haley was just routed in her home state. She should have been a "favorite daughter" candidate in South Carolina but was trounced by Donald Trump. Even if, heaven-forbid, an incapacitating event were to befall the Republican front runner, Haley would not be the choice to replace him. I would think since Nikki has now so alienated the Republican base that Ron DeSantis would end up the nominee. Haley has demonstrated her obnoxiousness to the extent she is no longer viable in politics. 

Tomorrow's Terror Attack

With all the Jew-haters of the world scheming to create a terrorist state within the heart of Israel, we must remember that not a moment goes by there where Palestinians are not plotting to or actively engaged in trying to murder innocent Jews. That is the animating force of the Palestine the world outside of the Jewish State seeks to impose. By rewarding the last terrorist outrage, you are assuring there will be a next one. 

Yesterday's Terror Attack

Jews are literally fighting for their lives in an effort to survive in the Middle East after the catastrophic October 7, 2023 massacre. The IDF is bending over backwards to protect noncombatants from the side that wants to slaughter all the Jews in Israel. Israeli forces are doing much more to keep Palestinians safe than Hamas ever did. As traffic backed up entering Jerusalem in the morning of February 22, Arab gunmen opened fire, trying to kill every Israeli they could, men, women, and children. They murdered a young man, a civilian. They wounded two women badly, including one who was pregnant. The Palestinians have lobbed thousands of rockets into Israel for decades trying to murder any innocent Jew they could hit and would have succeeded had Israel not developed the amazing technologies of Iron Dome and their newer missile defense systems. Make no mistake, only one side has any interest in preserving innocent lives in the conflict and that is Israel. 

Who Targets Jews?

I watched some disturbing video from Melbourne, Australia. In one video, a Jew who had a ticket to attend the Council session where the locals were interjecting themselves gratuitously into the Middle East conflict was assaulted by terror enthusiasts who ended up knocking him down, and then the kippah-wearing victim was manhandled by the police, detained, and banned from the city, while the perpetrator was left unmolested by law enforcement, who like the attacker, lied about every aspect of the encounter and its aftermath. In a second video, I saw a journalist, who is not even Jewish, assaulted because it was perceived that his friend is Jewish journalist Avi Yemeni. Once again, the police ignored the assault and instead bullied the reporter who had been the one attacked in the presence of the authorities. It appears that the authorities in Australia are so cowed by Muslims and intimidated by terror supporters that they will not protect Jewish Australians or even those non-Jews seen as standing with Jews. If Australia won't protect the rights of Jews, the Jews must leave for a place where they still enjoy full rights. https://youtu.be/Sb8yIph0fnQ (video of attack on journalist who has a Jewish friend and colleague) and secondly: assault on Jews trying to attend Council https://youtu.be/uwdeP8Oqa0c?si=pXsK2urhDi6HssQk

An Unfortunate Situation

Do you think if Trump was President that Israel would ever have to worry that America would support and protect the Jewish State at the United Nations? Do you believe the Palestinians ever would even have attempted the October 7, 2023 atrocity had Donald secured his second term? I will tell you that Trump was a better friend to the Jews than they ever had in the White House, and that Biden's commitment to Israel is tenuous at best. 

Never Caught Short

I saw a blurb on social media about an alligator needing surgery because it had ingested a number of coins. Folks were saying how dumb this reptile is in the comments. I don't know if the gator is so stupid because nothing is worse than being caught without any money when you really need some. 

Worst President Ever!

I never thought I would live through a Presidency worse than Carter's. Jimmy left the US economy a shambles and opened the hell gate of jihad by allowing the fall of the Shah of Iran. Those circumstances and events were terrible, and we still suffer the consequences today, but Biden is even more atrocious. Nobody thought Carter was feathering his own nest while betraying us, but that is precisely what crooked old and fading Joe seems to have done. Have a happy Presidents' Day. 

Nazis in Nashville

My hometown was visited by a couple of dozen masked demonstrators who were either filled with hate due to all their own inadequacies or government agents/informants paid to be there. In a large and growing extremely diverse city, they mustered about two dozen losers (or perhaps a lower number because we do not know how many of those had actually infiltrated the group on behalf of the FBI or other law enforcement). We may observe them as the fringe element they are, but that does not mean they are not dangerous. Some Leftists have denounced Tennessee as a whole for spawning or being a welcoming environment to these modern day Nazis. I assure these critics that the haters are in no way representative of the state or the tolerant conservative majority in it. The marchers are paranoiacs, who believe in a non-existent Jewish conspiracy, representing only themselves. 

Walter, Not Jimmy

I have been made aware that not everyone might know of Walter Duranty and might even think I was referencing the hilarious comedian with the large nose Jimmy Durante. Nope, not the funnyman but the liar and propagandist for the Reds who portrayed the now former Soviet Union as the Workers's Paradise, all the while aware that the Communists were slaughtering millions while delivering misery to almost all the rest. So, no Tucker Carlson is not funny but extremely dangerous, just as Walter Duranty turned out to be. Has Tucker ever seen the really nice, well-stocked grocery store they take visiting dignitaries to in North Korea? VIPs yes- ordinary Koreans in the prison state- no they starve. Ordinary Russians may not be suffering as much as those in Pyongyang, but they do not enjoy freedom there either under the murderer Putin! 

Today's Walter Duranty

Tucker Carlson is sometimes right about certain things, but so was Hitler. Carlson is either a willing dupe for Putin or a fool. He does not seem that foolish to me, even when hiding behind a facade of naïveté. 

Lebanon War Inevitable

War between Israel and Hezbollah is not a question of "if" but "when". Since Hamas launched the October 7 massacre, attacks on the Jewish State from the territory of Lebanon have been constant. Israel can't survive with citizens evacuated from both the north and south and the middle of the country under the threat of one hundred fifty  thousand missiles that Iran has provided to their Lebanese proxy, in what has become like Yemen- a proxy state of the worst actors in Tehran. Israel must remove the mad mullahs strike arm before it attacks with such force that the Jews would forget October 7, 2023. 

A New Gig?

If remaining in the practice of law does not work out for the paramour Wade, he might well have a future on MSNBC, and he would likely be the most credible person on that anti-Trump network. Today's proceedings in Georgia also should remind us that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. 

Mostly Meaningless Measure

The wrong fellow was just impeached. Does anyone believe that any Cabinet Secretary does not answer to the President? If a Cabinet Secretary performed against the wishes of his boss, he would be removed by Biden. It is Joe who should have been impeached. Beyond that, the impeachment will not result in a conviction because the DemocRATS control the US Senate. 

Worst Ever Appeasement

When the now former Czechoslovakia was forced to abandon the Sudetenland to the tender mercies of Hitler, the Nazis had not just gone in and slaughtered over a thousand innocent people in a mass orgy of rape, pillage, and torture. If the non-Jewish world and even some Jews have their way, Israel will soon be forced by the world to disgorge Judea and Samaria (the so-called "West Bank") along with the source of the recent (October 7, 2023) pogrom Gaza. This horror must be seen as a reward for terrorism because that is precisely what it is. The world beyond the Jewish State will make this lunatic demand of Israel, but with all the pressure that is exerted on Jerusalem, Israel must not submit. Netanyahu and whoever succeeds him must never comply with tearing what G-d gave the Jews asunder. 

A Divisive Start

Do you want a polarized nation? Why would the Super Bowl feature the Black National Anthem? We are one nation, and an increasingly mixed-race one. Will we have a Mexican-American national anthem next? Then, an Asian-American one? Stop trying to separate Americans. We are one race- HUMAN!

Another Super Bore?

A football game is being broadcast today that some think will be the most watched event in the history of the world. It might turn out to be a blowout, as many Super Bowls have been, or a slow-paced defensive struggle. If it is not competitive and exciting, many who tune in may not watch very long. 

An Ineluctable Conclusion

People that survive their youth grow old, deteriorate, and eventually die. It is absolutely undeniable that Joe Biden is not capable of performing the duties of the Presidency. Joe's supporters can't have it both ways, wherein he is no longer culpable for mishandling top secret documents because his memory of the crime is gone, but he is perfectly capable of running the United States. Those competing narratives are not only incongruous but mutually exclusive. 

No Longer Hidden

What many have assumed since fading old Joe campaigned largely from the comfort of his basement during his initial effort to unseat Trump has been borne out, and that is that Biden is in the grips of severe senescence, quite possibly dementia or Alzheimer's disease. His deterioration is so profound and obvious that he should be nowhere near the Presidency. I never want to hear the words "President Harris", but as stupid and ill-spoken as Kamala is, she does not appear to have lost her (limited) faculties to this point. I will vote Trump, presuming and praying he is on the ballot, but it is now unquestionable after the debacle press conference regarding the Biden Special Counsel that Joe no longer has the capacity to serve and certainly must not seek a second term.  

The Enthusiasm Gap

In a closed Republican primary, Haley has no chance whatsoever, because the people see her as the self-advancing liar that she is, who would say anything to win, without conviction or any higher aspiration other than elevating herself. If DemocRATS adopt the Rush Limbaugh strategy of making trouble in the other party's nominating process, Nikki still loses, because that interference brings real Republicans out in droves to counter it. The thing is that the former South Carolina Governor has just destroyed her future viability for any office by selfishly and stupidly serving as a DemocRAT pawn echoing their smears to stay in the race she has already lost. 

Nut Case Nation

If a country tries to turn boys into girls and vice versa: 1.) They can't, because to this point, the science does not permit you to change the DNA, and 2.)only eunuchs and sterilized women are actually the final product of the perverse manipulation. If a nation can't distinguish between the terrorist and the victim, or for some reason, decides to side with those actually for genocide, then you are morally bankrupt. Too many formerly sane polities have turned themselves into crazy lands. 

Betrayal and Perfidy

Biden put on a show that he was a friend to the Jews. He was the marionette sent by the cabal that runs him to hug Netanyahu after the grotesque pogrom inflicted on Israel on October 7, 2023. Joe's true face and the intentions of his handlers has been revealed as he threatens to veto the stand alone bill to send billions of dollars in US aid to the Jewish State at this time of desperate need, because the Biden regime demands Israel receive the help that may be key to the very survival of the Jewish State, only if it is tied to the assistance that will be given the Ukraine and the so-called "boost" Biden will be given for the US border. The Biden team has done next to nothing to assure that the IDF wins, but quite a bit to see that Israeli forces will not prevail, including insisting that Israel facilitate billions of dollars of relief continue to stream into Gaza, where most Gazans cheered the October 7 atrocities and want every Jew on earth to suffer the same fate as those slaughtered on Israel's darkest day. Netanyahu has reportedly been characterized by Biden as a "bad f___ing guy", which is the pot calling the kettle. If you want the Jewish State to survive, you better pray that Biden is not reelected. 

Build More Reservoirs

Over the past several years, California or portions thereof received massive amounts of rainfall. The Golden State, that is almost always in a drought, has not constructed a single reservoir since the 1970's, and since then the population and the consequent demand for water have nearly doubled. The Pineapple Express is dumping trillions of gallons of that precious resource right now, and much of it will simply merge into the vast briny Pacific when with proper planning, it could have done Californians a world of good. Different leadership would have brought our nation's most populous state better outcomes. 

Dastardly DemocRAT Dunces

A huge swath of the ruling party is comprised of losers filled with class envy. The so-called "elite" of that party have bilked taxpayers out of billions through unmerited tax credits, tailored tax breaks that help only them and harm their competition, grants, and subsidies that should make them the target of resentment but because they proclaim themselves "DemocRATS" somehow do not, but exempt them from scrutiny and calumny because they pretend through party affiliation to be for the little guy. Not to mention the insider trading and granting of sinecures that DemocRAT politicians engage in that should be a prison matter but is tolerated because they speak up for the folks (who in actuality they are exploiting). Instead of fixating on jealousy against those who actually earn their keep, the vast body of working DemocRATS ought to wonder why their union heads live like kings, the DemocRAT politicos they put and keep in office rule as despots while enjoying the high life, but they have to work a second job or stave off retirement because of the lousy stewardship their masters provide over the economy.  

The Harsh Truth

The fighting in Gaza is not about territory but the very survival of the Jewish People. The attack that sparked the Israeli response on October 7, 2023 did impact Israel, but the perpetrators would have been perfectly happy killing Jews in Paris and Peoria. Jihadists do not want only Jerusalem as their own but a worldwide Caliphate. Their first and most hated target is Jews. America must continue to support our sole real ally in the Middle East, not simply because that friend is under assault by vicious cowards who murder from behind their own so-called "noncombatants" but because when they finish off Little Satan Israel, Great Satan America is next. Jews are at an existential threat that has not been seen since Hitler was vanquished. 

The Biden Numbers

I am skeptical about the job numbers. Remember an election is coming up, and we are ruled by a regime rife with liars. 

The Biden Youth

A startling number of young Americans despise Israel. Biden can earn their loyalty by creating a Palestinian state. Corrupt and fading old Joe can also win a lot of support in Michigan and Minnesota by stabbing Israel and the Jews in the back (or front or really anywhere). Then America may start a new corps of shining DemocRATS, like the Nazis had with their Hitler Youth. 

Rising Youth Wing

Young DemocRATS motivations seem to be love of abortion and hatred of Israel. This iteration of their party seems nothing like it was during the halcyon days of JFK. 

An Object Lesson

In my home state of Tennessee, folks who prayed outside an abortion clinic are facing up to eleven years in prison. In other news, looters from the George Floyd riots have been granted millions of dollars in settlement money. So riot, and not only do you never go to jail, but the government ends up paying you. Exercise your conscience near a murder mill and you end up incarcerated in the penitentiary. This is really a SICK country! 

America's Worst Representative

There is a member of Congress who either married her own brother or engaged in immigration fraud or did both. This same representative just put all questions of dual loyalty aside, by openly declaring her first loyalty not to the United States (the nation she swore her oath to) but to Somalia, then her second affiliation to Islam, the(next and last) to the cause of the Palestinians with no mention at all of serving America, the state she represents Minnesota, or even her constituents, who after all, are not all Somali. This person should be expelled from the House of Representatives. She is much worse than George Santos,  the recently expelled and now former Congressman, and unlike him, an actual danger to the United States. 

Sense of Justice

George Floyd was a criminal, not a hero. He had lethal levels of fentanyl in his system when he died, meaning whether police were there or not, he was likely a goner. If courts bow to the will of the mob, then you have the opposite of the rule of law, a court-blessed anarchy supplanting order. 

The Kafkaesque Courts

Donald Trump is tried in civil court but not permitted to mount the defenses he and his lawyers want. Israel is tried by the world for genocide but not allowed to mention the massacre of October 7 as their defense or the precipitating event to all their defensive actions. If courts advance injustice, they will not long endure. Sane and decent folks will not tolerate tyranny much longer. 

Why So Choosy?

I read an opinion piece by a Jerusalem Post staffer I had never heard of and don't care to hear from again. This person basically said Jews need to keep fighting on social media to present our case after the October 7 event, but should not associate ourselves with anti-vaxxers or aspiring influencers with a small audience (three followers). This journalist could not be more wrong. Jews are between fifteen to maybe eighteen million folks on earth and a billion people want to murder us. I would not be so picky about who my friends are, particularly at a time where we are in mortal peril, but this nobody works for a paper and website, so is the "actual expert". I am just a fifty-seven year old who has had to literally fight Jew haters all my life. 

The Wrong Course

Some American Jews, virtually all of them DemocRATS, are stridently opposed to the participation of Christians, who manifest their faith at all, in public life, or even what they perceive as the display of Christian symbology in the public square. These Jews do not see or perhaps care that the greatest allies of the Jewish State tend to be the most devout Christians in America. Evangelical Christians are often more robust and consistent in their support of Israel than many Jews. I do not mean Christian identity fringe or the growing Christian nationalist movements that deplore Israel and the Jews, but the majority of Protestants, except some mainline denominations (the ones that are shrinking) that have taken positions against Israel. Jews ought to be discerning enough to recognize our friends and not do all they can to slap those allies and potential protectors in their faces. 

New World Disorder

Some extremely powerful and evil people have been working diligently for years to foster chaos and spark anarchy. They have facilitated destruction so that they will have the normal folks pleading for their protection. "Please save us", citizens will implore to the malign forces that have been orchestrating the collapse all along. The European Union figure responsible for blocking the entry of aliens has just said "nothing can be done to stop the inflow of migrants". Since when? Nations were able to control their borders for centuries, but suddenly, they can't. This devastation is all planned and deliberate. The elite will not stop it because they are the ones benefiting from it. If we are to be saved, we must support Trump, who really did stand up to the Deep State and the slow drip annihilation they are foisting on the United States (and with America, the fall of the rest of the world). 

A Winning Candidate?

Only a moron would claim any sort of victory after losing twice in both contests she was a part of, and that idiot's name is Nikki Haley. She is Mitt Romney in a dress, and GOP voters and more broadly Americans do not want her in power. 

Finish Her Off

President Trump can end the nomination process today with a compelling victory over the two-faced Nikki Haley. That outcome would be good for the country. 

Kansas City Rules

Over the years I have noticed the Chiefs' quarterback seems to be especially protected by the league. If Cam Newton had received that special protection from those pulling the strings, he would have won a bunch of Super Bowls. You could pile on the Bills' Josh Allen and even have the last player drive the stack into the ground and separately facemask another Buffalo player, but do not dare go after the face of marketing for the league! Patrick Mahomes must feel pretty confident out there knowing that not only does he have his team watching his back but the officials and the powers behind them as well all looking out for his welfare. 

An Apt Comparison

Donald Trump may have compared Nikki Haley to Nancy Pelosi. This is not so far-fetched as both are lying shrews. Nikki does not have a record of inflicting as much damage on America and Americans as Pelosi yet, but she is working on it. 

Biden's Immigration Strategy

Biden insists he would secure the border if those Republican rascals would just provide the money. Joe has no intention of blocking illegal entry, even if the GOP ponied up a trillion dollars. That funding would be used to further regularize the entry of the aliens, send them out across the country, and thereby grow the dependency class future DemocRAT voters all over America. If Biden had wanted a closed border, he had all he needed to shut most of it down with Trump's material that was bought, paid for, and ready to install, but the cabal pulling the strings wanted just the opposite. The millions who have crashed through our borders are no accident but part of a meticulously orchestrated plan to end America as she was founded in favor of a one party dystopia where patriotism is the only crime. 

Want Global Warming?

I think some of my fellow Nashvillians would yearn for some of that global warming right now. This week our low temperature has touched zero degrees, our high has been thirty-four, and we had to contend with six to nine inches of snow, under which lurked a dangerous layer of ice. I say everybody here should turn on every appliance and vehicle they own and see if we can warm it up a little. 

Beware the Ice

Back when I was attending college, there was a winter storm, but I figured I could not afford to miss a significant math class, and decided I would be fine driving my four-wheel drive Jeep Wagoneer, if I left early and took my time driving. I was right all through the neighborhood until I reached an intersection with a traffic signal which I arrived at just as it was turning red. I carefully applied the brakes and they did not hold, then pumped them (not being anti-lock), as I had been instructed a few years before in driver's education classes. The next thing I knew was that the black ice that I had not seen, had sent me into an uncontrolled spin. I drifted through five lanes with miraculously no vehicles nearby, and up onto a traffic island that finally stopped my slide. You have to be especially cautious on roads in this weather. The irony of that event was I arrived at the college and found out all the classes had been cancelled due to snow and ice. 

Rise Like Phoenix

The reports of the demise of Donald Trump's political career seem to have been premature and exaggerated. I pray Trump is able to make America great again by rooting out the "Deep State". 

An Epic Collapse

Through the first eleven weeks of football, Philadelphia looked like the odds on favorite for the Super Bowl. Then, the Eagles crashed. The suffered a losing streak that culminated in them bowing out in the first round of the playoffs. Few professional football teams have ever soared so high, only to fall so low. 

A Separation Barrier

It must be dawning on Israelis that most Palestinians do not really want peace or a state of their own, but to kill all the Jews. Israel has employed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, but Israelis would be safer employing Thai workers, who have not been indoctrinated throughout their upbringing to hate and, if possible, slaughter Jews. The safest Israel could make itself might be to build as near to impregnable walls and fences as possible between themselves and Palestinian enclaves. An occasional terror act might still claim innocent life, but much less than now. 

Witness Real Deterrence

Germany waged two wars of aggression in the last century. What stopped them from starting a third was resounding defeat followed by decades of humiliating occupation. Japan thought they could conquer Asia. What put paid to that notion was two atomic bombs. There are ways to halt the Hitlers-in-the-making, but they aren't pretty. The only thing uglier would be to let the aggressive despots in Russia, Red China, and Iran realize their goals. 

Not Quite Deterred

The Houthis launched more salvos at shipping, forcing the coalition to launch more strikes into Yemen. The piratic terrorists are only a symptom. Iranian aggression is the disease, even if the attacks are coming from proxies. They have the fingerprints of the mad mullahs of Tehran all over them. 

A Serious Rebuke?

The United States and staunch ally United Kingdom, supported by Australia, gave a pinprick to the Houthis. These powers could easily have killed hundreds of the Yemen terrorists and seriously deterred future piracy out of Yemen, but chose instead, a large scale campaign against sites largely devoid of jihadists. Yemen claims five were killed. Do you think fanatic terrorists will really be brought to heel by a handful of deaths in their ranks? 

A Real Shocker

Nick Saban leaving Alabama is like the King of England abdicating. It has happened, but few saw it coming. One has to wonder if he is battling health problems. You almost can't imagine the Crimson Tide without him. He is undeniably among the greatest coaches in the history of college football. 

The Criminal Conspiracy

A conspiracy has existed for years to manipulate the outcome of American Presidential elections. It has not been orchestrated by Donald Trump but against him. 

Especially Grotesque Lie

There are photos circulating on social media of Trump making hand gestures next to pictures of Hitler in the same poses. Some of my Jewish brethren are circulating this propaganda. There is sometimes a quote attributed to Maya Angelou accompanying this trash. So in the warped minds of these Trump haters, the former President is Hitler, who was the most notorious antisemite of all-time and the worst mass murderer who ever lived. Fellow Jews are posting this balderdash. This garbage is an insult to the martyrs of the Shoah and all the victims of Nazism. Donald Trump was the best friend Jews ever had in the White House. When terror struck Israel and the Jewish State responded, Trump and his State Department did not call for "restraint on both sides" but encouraged the IDF to finish the terrorists with full American backing. Every US President since the 1967 War talked about moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but only Trump followed through with his promise and did so. Trump's daughter converted to Orthodox Judaism, and his grandchildren are JEWISH! Trump is NOT HITLER, but a passionate supporter and defender of the Jews. 

Good King Henry

On a team without a stellar offensive line, Derrick Henry managed to become the second leading rusher in the National Football League. Imagine what he could have accomplished with a better squad around him. 

A New Direction

I think the Titans need a new head coach to invigorate the stale franchise. It is not that Mike Vrabel is a terrible coach anymore than his former coach Bill Belichick is. Ownership can't replace an entire lagging team when they are under-performing, so it is the head coach who must depart. 

An Old Pattern

Dan Pastorini, Earl Campbell, Eddie George and other Oiler/Titan greats finished their playing careers someplace else. Adams's family loyalty to players does not exist. Expect Derrick Henry to soon find himself on another team in a different city. I am not saying that any of those players were at the peak of their playing days when they were let go, and I am aware that football is a game of diminishing returns with age, but I would think with an adequate offensive line, Henry will still be a productive running back. I do not think Nashville taxpayers should have been saddled with the obligation of enriching the Adams's football enterprise because our citizens are not seeing a competitive team in the stadium we are subsidizing, and even if we were, I don't like working folks being forced to feather the nests of billionaires. 

Accidents of War

Israel was attacked from Gaza without warning on October 7, and the terrorists primary target was civilians. The butchers who carried out the massacre slaughtered women, children, and even babies, then fled back to hide behind their own "non-combatants". It is the actions of Hamas that have made so-called "civilian casualties" inevitable. They expressly focused on bestial criminality and grotesque crimes against humanity to start the conflict, and now like the cowards they are, conceal themselves among Gazans who they care as little for as they do Israelis. The IDF has not targeted women and children but has done all any military could to protect innocents on both sides. For all the carnage, the blame must be placed clearly and solely on Hamas and the terrorists who bask in the body count of all the deaths of human shields they caused. 

War with Lebanon?

Israel has no particular desire to widen the campaign against terrorism at this point into Lebanon. The Jewish State wants to continue to dismantle Hamas without an expanded multi-front regional war. A fight to block Hezbollah is inevitable, but Israel does not want it to start until the Gaza victory is secured. 

Inflation Whipped Us

Thirty-four trillion dollars in National debt, now that is a figure, one larger than the American economy, but our good stewardship of government will pay that off, no problem right? I mean no big deal to even have to calculate where the government will be able to find the funds to service that massive and hitherto unprecedented obligation. So, is it best just to keep printing fiat currency to nominally make good on what the nation owes? Then, we can all bring wheelbarrows of cash to buy bread at the grocery, or better yet, have the digital US Dollar that will be used as a club to ensure compliance with every government directive. You don't want your vaccine- no food for you! 

We Whipped Inflation?

The cabal brags about "Bidenomics". They claim they have tamed inflation. In point of fact, inflation continues to grow, as Team Biden has not managed to lower it an iota, but only managed to slow inflation's rate of growth after their reckless spending and money-printing brought it to heights not seen since the failed Carter Presidency. 

Plan for Year?

Some folks have announced their plans for 2024. Sometimes, they sound great, other times a bit grandiose. I do not have a particular agenda for the coming year. After seven cousins died in 2023, I just hope to survive into 2025. I take each day as a win.
