The Stalking Beast

The tech companies, including Amazon, and the banks are instituting some real mark of the beast stuff. Consumers in the United States have not yet been forced to accept surveillance devices into their homes, but for the convenience of making purchases more easily, many folks are inviting corporations into their homes to spy on them. Financial institutions are cutting off access to accounts to people they find controversial and businesses that suddenly offend them, like gun stores. We have a choice now to reject these intrusions but will not have any alternative later. President Trump must break up the tech monopolies now to stop the stripping of our privacy and must regulate the banks to guarantee every citizen the right to buy and sell, regardless of the political opinions they hold.

Restore Israel's Deterrence

The Jewish State should not accept a ceasefire that leaves wanton attackers in power and mostly unpunished. Israel sustained hits by over 700 rockets. At least four Israelis were murdered in this barrage. If the IDF does not overthrow the terrorists running Gaza, they must weaken them to the extent that they would not dare launch another attack. It does not seem though that Israel will do what is necessary to stave off future waves of lethal rockets.

An Incessant Barrage

The civilian population of Israel has been subjected to an attack by more than 650 rockets from Gaza over the last two days. At least three Jews, noncombatants, have had their lives snuffed out. Israel has no choice but to respond with force sufficient to end the attacks. Much of the world will condemn the Jewish State whatever the IDF does, but with President Trump at the helm in Washington, Israel will enjoy a freedom of action it has never before had to defeat the terrorists.

Israel Under Fire

The terrorists that control Gaza, backed by their Iranian sponsors, have lobbed more than one hundred rockets at the civilian populace of the Jewish State. Now is the time the IDF must be unleashed to crush the jihadsts and free the poor oppressed Palestinians in Gaza from the grasp of Iran's tentacles.

An Economic Genius

President Trump has done the greatest job ever strengthening the economy of any US leader. Trump is wise enough to know that if you keep government and bureaucrats out of the economy, you give the free enterprise system the room to grow broad-based prosperity for everyone willing to work. There are now more jobs available to Americans than there are folks to fill them. Wages are rising. Ronald Reagan was fantastic at stimulating growth but Donald Trump is even better!

Hiding Behind Veil

Around half a billion women wear the Islamic veil. The vast majority only have love and charity in their hearts. A few like Ilhan Omar use their religious garbs and their protestations of faith to spread hatred, not restricted to despising other faiths but apparently extending to a hatred of whites, particularly white men. This kind of prejudice must be exposed and publicized until Omar loses her seat in Congress. Omar's own words must be used against her.

Turning Back Hate

I do not care to remember the name of the synagogue shooter in California. I will never forget the bravery and sacrifice of Lori Gilbert-Kaye. I will try to live up to the inspiration of Rabbi Goldstein.
