The Unmitigated Gall

The Biden regime is complaining that Israel is"escalating" the conflict in the Middle East. The Jewish State has been under relentless fire from Lebanon since just after the Hamas massacre on the other side of the country on October 7, 2023. From the 8th of October on, missiles and rockets fired by Hezbollah have struck Israel. The IDF responded piecemeal to the provocation, but thousands of Israelis have been displaced from their homes and brought to the somewhat safer center of the country. No nation could abide what Israel has endured, and with concrete intelligence indicating that in a few days Hezbollah would launch their own October 7 pogrom one year later to celebrate the first launched by Hamas, Israel was compelled to act. As for the condemnation of Israel by AOC and other DemocRATS for ridding the world of an arch-terrorist, let me remind them that he participated in the destruction of the Marine barracks in Lebanon that murdered 241 Americans, and led the bombing of the Beirut US embassy that killed seventeen more. They should be thanking the IDF for bringing justice to such a vicious murderer who for decades had eluded America's effort to bring him into custody. American Jews who care about Israel in the slightest must see their political home is no longer in the DemocRAT party. 

Tail of Snake

Hamas and Hezbollah are both mortal foes to Israel, but they are NOT the existential threat to the Jewish State. The Islamic Republic of Iran is. Without the backing of Tehran, many in the Arab world would still be hostile to the Zionist Entity but would not have the means to obliterate the insult in their midst. Given Iran's resources and their race to build nuclear weapons, it is the mad mullahs that pose the greatest threat. 

Interest Rate Cut

The Federal Reserve, that should be audited and really should have been decades ago, did their part to boost the Kamala campaign and dropped the prime interest rate fifty basis points (one half of one percent). They raised the rate over four years to combat that irrationally exuberant shopping spree by American consumers who were just so flush with all that Biden prosperity, except that the inflation was NEVER consumer driven but all caused by government over-spending! 

Answer a Page

Terrorists blew up simultaneously across Lebanon and in parts of Syria yesterday. I think it is a new type of virus that strikes people who want to murder Israelis. The event reminds me of a scene from the "Kingsman" movie. I would think twice if I were a young Jew-hater about joining a jihadist terror group right now. 

Attack for Ukraine?

It seems the gunman who intended to murder Trump may well have been motivated by a desire to protect Ukrainian independence. The potential shooter apparently believes that the former President if reelected will abandon Ukraine. Trump will no doubt push for peace but a fair peace with honor that preserves a free Ukraine. He is not and never was a handmaiden to Moscow, a claim that was all part of the smear and character assassination of our forty-fifth President. Trump is not and never was Putin's man, but is no fan of forever wars that only enrich the military-industrial complex. 

Oh, the Naivete`

How stupid can some otherwise smart, right-minded people actually be? I hear them say "everyone wants fair elections"; when, in fact, the side that prevails by cheating clearly does not. If everybody wanted a straight process, we would have one already and have little to worry about, but we do not and must really be concerned right now. 

Stalin in Skirt

One could say Kamala is a Stalin in the making. We might luck out if she steals victory and find out Harris is merely an up and coming Lenin. Won't that be a relief! 

Nonsense and Lies

When Kamala has a prepared script or extensive practice and rehearsal, she is adequate in delivering her lies. When Harris has to think on her feet, she spouts balderdash. A local Pennsylvania reporter was granted the first solo interview with the Presidential aspirant and asked her about the economy yesterday. Her response was about "lawns" back when she grew up. If heaven-forbid she is elected, do you think Putin will allow her to go over her lines a few times with her handlers before he turns New York City into a nuclear desert? Harris declared in the debate she would not go after guns, then just three days later was pushing an assault weapons ban. What Kamala says is either off on a tangent, meaningless, or worse yet, an outright lie she is spouting to gain her power. 

A Natural Right

I saw a video of a Hamas enthusiast charging across a street to tackle a veteran demonstrating in support of Israel. It has been reported that the gentleman who was assaulted was neither Jewish nor Israeli but a 47 year old Massachusetts native named "Hayes". Mr. Hayes protected himself from the unhinged attacker by firing a single shot. The aggressor was wounded in the stomach and the shooter, who was clearly defending himself, was the first to render aid. Hayes does not seem to me guilty of any crime, but the local authorities there arrested him and are apparently charging him for two crimes. Hayes was engaging in his natural human right of self-defense. 

Need to Wonder

The United States had a rip-roaring economy under President Trump until the pandemic knocked the country back. Kamala and the shell of Biden produced crippling inflation, and drove a significant portion of Americans out of the middle class. Trump has never been a doctrinaire conservative, but a pragmatist. Harris, on the other hand, was the most radical member of the US Senate (to the Left of Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders). Kamala has experienced something of an "in the trenches conversion" now apparently, as she has backed off her progressive ideology, and now on many issues, sounds like she is to the Right of Donald Trump. In point of fact though, she and Biden had over three years to implement the policies she now claims to embrace but did not do a thing. Donald has a record he is running on, while Harris has one she is running from; so, the voters do not have to guess what the future holds with either choice. 

The Stacked Deck

The debate last night reminded me of a boxing match where one participant goes in expecting a fair fight, only to be swarmed by the opponent along with his manager and corner men, and the referee, all hitting him with bats. It was not a debate but a Soviet show trial on steroids. The bias against Trump was so palpable that it was like watching a second assassination attempt but this one not to literally murder the former President, just to kill his political career. The ABC news folks are clearly made-members of Kamala's crew. 

Debating the Debate

Americans know Donald Trump's policies because he already served as President for a full term. Love him or not, whatever he says tonight will not change that. Kamala has recently flipped on so many positions, it seems like she has been debating herself. With the degree of bias in the media, Harris could babble incoherently (like Biden), and the press will still say she presented her argument "passionately and forcefully" and won the debate. With most folks' positions already so firmly set, the debate will change very few votes. 

The Crazy Jews

There were Jews with resources who saw the rise of Hitler but made no effort to escape Europe. They believed reason would prevail, which ultimately it did, but only after almost all of them had been murdered by the Nazis. We are in that "Never Again" moment, where one candidate for the American Presidency will bring catastrophe to the Jewish People and, more broadly, the world, yet the most recent survey shows sixty-eight percent (68%) of Jews voting for Kamala and only a quarter of Jewish voters siding with Trump (25%). Could my brethren conceivably still be this stupid? 

Order or Chaos

If you want BLM/ANTIFA-types controlling your streets, and Venezuelan gangs extorting apartment complex dwellers, vote Harris-Walz. If you want the illegal alien violent thugs laid out like trophy deer, so that no more would dare come to our nation, vote for the law and order ticket that opposes Communism and anarchy. 

A Tragic Anniversary

October 7 is rapidly approaching. To commemorate that unhappy day, a Canadian Muslim was going to slip into New York City and murder as many Jews as he could. Do you think he was going to ask his targets, "Are you Zionist" or "Are you for Netanyahu"? No, he was going to slaughter Jews simply for being Jews. Those of my faith should remember this- those who seek to kill us are not looking for subtle distinctions. They just want our blood! 

Unbelievably Successful Campaign

The effectiveness of the way Donald Trump has been demonized is unquestionable. The New York Times was even given a Pulitzer Prize for their reportage on Trump's "conspiracy" with the Russians. No such linkage between the former President and Russia ever existed. Trump is still deemed guilty by folks that are book smart and consider themselves well-informed. After all, they read the Gray Lady everyday, and some are so well educated that they actually complete the Times crossword puzzle. I mean, these are the literally brilliant cognoscenti, but they bought the lies meant to smear Trump and his supporters hook, line, and sinker. Then, there are the merely well-informed who garner their news on MSNBC and CNN. They may rarely (if ever) read the so-called newspaper of record in the United States, but they were fed the steady diet of lies about the insurrectionists and their evil cult of personality leader and now they despise their neighbor or former classmate who happens to think Trump is the better option for America than Kamala's Marxism. Then, there are those doing their own research but finding their "facts" on incredibly biased search engines or from social media that has a history since 2016 of spreading anti-Trump propaganda and lies. There are smart and capable people, many in responsible positions who think Trump is a Hitler in the making and his supporters are literal Nazis. After all, the former President did say something about "good people on both sides in Charlottesville" which in reality is more out of context manipulation by those who hate Trump. 

Annihilation or Survival

In the case of the current war of annihilation being waged against the Jews, it is more important to secure Israel and her existence as the Jewish State than to save the hostages. Of course, I along with virtually every Jew (and decent people of any or no faith) want to see those abducted rescued or set free, but not at the cost of future security, because losing that imperils the nation and Jews everywhere. 

Thoughts on "Ceasefire"

If Israel is forced to accept a ceasefire without Hamas being effectively destroyed, the Jewish State will be placing an enormous target on their relatively small country. Yes, Israel is being bullied by everybody except the majority of Israelis themselves (who are not suicidal), but most citizens there know that if they quit the fight prior to victory, the surviving members of Hamas, the Palestinian Authority armed factions, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Assad's Syria, the Shiite militants of Iraq, and of course, the mad mullahs of Iran smelling Jewish blood and baying for more, are all bound to hit Israel with the intention of finishing off the Zionist entity. For Israel (and likely world Jewry) to survive, the IDF must prevail, and any semblance of an organized Hamas must be vanquished. 

See Much Difference?

Hamas is al-Qaeda. The slight distinction is that the terrorist group waging slaughter against Israel's civilians used motorized gliders to murder instead of hijacked commercial jets. Hamas is ISIS. They are both relentlessly determined to slay people who do not conform to their seventh century worldview. The one certainty about all these jihadist groups is that the world would be a more peaceful place if they were wiped from it. 

No Fiscal Restraint

If you run government like a business, citizens thrive. If you run business like government operates today, you go under in short order. Private enterprise can't print money or take it away from those who have earned it at the point of a gun, but government certainly does. A country that eases regulation and slows government spending enriches its citizens while high tax overreaching government impoverishes the People. 

Such Tragic News

Can you imagine having a hand blown off and then being torture treated without anesthesia? That is what American citizen Hersh Goldberg was subjected to on October 7, but he fought to stay alive to return to his family. They will not be reunited as the bloody butchers of Gaza have now murdered him and five other innocent hostages. I pray the few kidnapped Israelis who are still alive are returned safe to those they love.
