Not Scandinavian Socialism

The reason socialism used to work in places like Norway and Sweden was that they were small, resource-rich, homogeneous countries. The Norwegians had plenty of petroleum and the Viking ethos of willing sacrifice for each other. The Swedes had high ideals and few foreigners. Now, both countries have awakened to the notion that they let in too many and the wrong refugees and that their state generosity is no longer affordable or even tenable. No, you can't pay cradle to grave benefits to someone who has been in Damascus for ninety-five percent of his life but thinks Stockholm is a meat market for him to prey on blonde women. Socialism really does not work which is why when it is applied, it eventually leads to the populace being forced under the barrels of guns. 

Hitler's Media Man

Tucker Carlson may think he is doing the Lord's work by demonizing the Jewish State, supporters of Israel, and Netanyahu. He would be making Goebbels proud with his blackening of the reputation of America's closest friend in the Middle East and the most reliable ally the United States has. Now, I see why FOX News parted ways with this Jew-baiting liar. 

Almost No Support

Barack Hussein Obama was an insouciant Leftist but few in Congress wanted to stand in the way of an "historic President", so he accomplished much of his agenda. Joe Biden was a brain-damaged place holder but whatever the puppeteers running him wanted, Congress and the Courts seemed to mostly go along. Trump is undeniably a force in American politics as he has a natural constituency of at least a third of the country as his fervent backers but not so much in Washington, where the Senate stymies him more than it ever did his two immediate predecessors, even though what Trump wants would be a boon for liberty, prosperity, and our nation's future. I do not understand what Senators think they win by keeping corruption of the vote up and running in our country, when it ultimately will deliver Marxism to the United States if the vote cheating is permitted to continue. 

Spate of Shootings

There was some carnage in the United States recently. There were numerous firearm crimes in gun-controlled Chicago, which can just be called the "average weekend" in the Midwest's most populous city. The strange event was the Seattle massacre where some brilliant mind decided to open fire among three hundred thousand people attending a culinary festival. I am not for additional restrictions on our Second Amendment rights, because the most restrictive places in America for legal conceal and carry happen to often also have high rates of crime. 

Berlin Pride Ramming

An Islamist drove a van into the crowd at a Gay event in Germany. So far at least one death has occurred with numerous injuries. People representing religions other than Islam tend not to use vehicles to mow down folks with religious or lifestyle differences. It is funny how Jews are demonized and therefore targeted for crimes that they are NOT perpetrating but which have in fact been committed against them. I have not seen a Jew attack a mass gathering of Gentiles yet but have witnessed Muslims doing that for years. 

Last Decent DemocRAT

The DemocRAT leadership has become fully anti-Israel. Bernie Sanders is nominally Jewish, yet bashes Israel relentlessly. Chuck Schumer, another Jew, who long ago spoke up for the Jewish State, is now so cowed by the Left in his Party that he fears will unseat him that he sounds like Sanders in addressing the country with which he once adamantly stood. Only the non-Jewish John Fetterman still publicly stands with Israel. Fetterman also has the good sense to recognize the danger of Iran and supports the Trump effort to de-fang the mad mullah regime. One Pennsylvania Senator is not likely to be able to blunt the Leftward direction of a once great party, no matter how large he is. 

Blood Libel Pusher

A Jew was stabbed in New York. This was an entirely predictable event as the Mayor there has essentially called Jews bloodthirsty ghouls who are committing a genocide. Zohran Mamdani is engaged in moral inversion and victim blaming of the worst kind. It has been Israel that was attacked on October 7, 2023, and every injury or death subsequent to that is because the terrorists use their "noncombatants" as human shields, hiding behind (and under) women and children, hospitals and schools to try to keep up their murder of the Jews who are simply trying to defend themselves. Mamdani is a lot of things, but he is not stupid enough to not realize his inflammatory and false attacks against the Jewish State and Netanyahu are bound to stoke violence against the Jews in the city he is misleading.
