Framed in Deceit

The upcoming debate is sure to be biased against Donald Trump. The moderators are both Trump haters of the first order who have demonized the former President at every occasion but gone out of their way to treat the flailing Biden with kid gloves. Trump is the challenger, so he had to accept what the incumbent would grant, but there will be no fairness or even-handedness in this three to one pile-on. I doubt the debate will have that much suasion though, as when people vote, they will reflect on three plus years and not just one night. 

Nazi Enforcement Tactic

Law enforcement is NOT being hard in dealing with antisemitic mobs, but police are arresting Jews when we start defending ourselves. Daniel Greenfield chronicled this on Sunday in Los Angeles. Some folks have called cops "Nazis" here in America. It certainly looks like these critics of authority may have a point at least when it comes to what just happened in California. 

Los Angeles Pogrom

I see a great deal of coverage that there was a "clash" or "protesters and counter-protesters" at a Los Angeles synagogue yesterday. This is biased reporting against the Jewish People. What happened was Jews were attacked by a large number of terror supporters who obviously launched an organized effort at our place of worship. Jews did not go to a mosque to intimidate other Americans, but Hamas enthusiasts planned and carried out a coordinated assault on Adas Torah Shul. I did not think such things could happen in my country! 

What Debate Means

I think in many instances, debates do make a great difference, but in the case of the current political campaign, the event will have little impact as both Presidential candidates have track records serving in the office already. Biden and Trump are known quantities, and nothing they say on a particular night is going to change the perspective voters already hold of them. I will watch, but nothing either candidate says will erase or alter the record each left in the office. That being said, expectations have been lowered so much for old Joe that if he stands up throughout the proceedings without babbling incoherently, it will be judged that he has prevailed, while Trump will have to contend with hostile moderators, and is facing a one versus three telecast. No matter the outcome, or manipulated perceptions of the performance, I am still voting Trump because Biden is destroying our nation and has destabilized the world. 

An Inevitable Attack

If less than thirty terrorists were able to pull off the September 11, 2001 massacre, think what one hundred battle-hardened jihadists could do. Do you not think in eleven million-plus sneak-ins, that many fanatics have entered our now vulnerable nation? 

The Border Disorder

Team Biden is crowing that border encounters are down 25% in recent days since their brilliant leader tweaked asylum rules. Joe finally did this because folks are about to vote in a Presidential election. If he was able to do this now, it clearly means Biden could have done this anytime during his first three years. Joe had the power, but he lacked the will to maintain the more successful border policies of his immediate predecessor. I feel much better now though knowing that there will be a quarter less Tajik jihadists sneaking across the border to try to make their way to a concert hall near us to slaughter the audience. 

Such Optimistic Times

America has made such progress that even a man who could not baby sit a toddler can serve as President of the nation. Fading Joe is unambiguously impaired, yet his hand remains on the nuclear button. If that does not inspire confidence, and make you want to vote Biden again for another term, you must be a pessimist. 

Took His Swings

One of the greatest baseball players of all-time has died. Willie Mays was the oldest living Hall of Famer prior to his death at the ripe old age of ninety-three. Mays was arguably the best all-around player, being able to get to balls with his speed that few other outfielders ever could have caught and spectacularly robbing hits from his opponents. He had a strong arm and was innately smart about when to use it. He hit for power, despite being relatively small for an athlete. In the pantheon of great players, Willie is right there with the Babe, Ted Williams, and Hammering Hank.  

Start Something Big

The Boston Celtics have triumphed. They secured their unprecedented eighteenth pro basketball championship. This group seems to be true team players with no overbearing personality insisting they are the star and heart of the team. It is not often you find great competitors so free of ego. If they stay together and healthy, these Boston ballers have to be the odds on favorite to win the next championship as well. 

Ride That Kangaroo

The Biden campaign is engaging in industrial scale election interference by using the Courts to take down Donald Trump. With their ad denouncing Trump for his felonies, the Biden team has made this manipulation transparent and obvious. I pray enough Americans see this tactic for what it is and that the election itself is conducted fairly enough to restore the former President to the White House and America back to her Founding Principles under Trump's leadership. 

Projecting Such Weakness

Has the United States ever presented a lack of strength the way America is now? We are not showing our enemies a Commander-in Chief, but a bumbler who can't ever figure out where to stand or which direction to face. It is a mortification on the global stage, that the foes of our nation have never witnessed before, because when Woodrow Wilson suffered his debilitating stroke in office, he was hidden away in the White House, not paraded around as if nothing was wrong with him the way Biden is. It is incomprehensible that in our mass media age that every American not in the same sinking diminished capacity boat as Biden is does not realize that the puppet in the Oval Office has fallen to a terrible and obvious cognitive decline. 

Still Some Life

Some may have thought the Mavericks had their goose cooked when they fell behind the Celtics three games to nil in the current professional basketball championship series. The Dallas cagers proved last night that they still had quite a bit of fight left in them. I am not saying they will somehow sweep the next three contests and claim the title, but they certainly demonstrated last night that they belong on the same court as mighty Boston. 

A Union Overreach

A small coffee house chain in the somewhat tarnished Golden State (only three stores) was just closed by its owner after the employees voted to unionize. The workers already received health and dental insurance along with pay exceeding California's high minimum wage. The proprietor told staff that the locations had already been losing money for years, but labor nevertheless voted for collective bargaining. This left the boss with no choice (from his prospective) but to shutter the doors. The work force should have realized that any enterprise other than government is unable to simply print more money, and that they could push their now former employer too far. 

The Real Offense

Hunter Biden does not seem to have always made great life choices. The one aspect of Hunter's misadventures that is undeniable is that he had nothing to offer to his foreign contacts, save for who his father happens to be. I do not see energy firms offering random crack users in America millions of dollars if their Dad does not happen to be the nation's Vice President, and in this context "Vice" has a double meaning. 

A Terrifying Abdication

I really hoped, even prayed, that Meir Kahane was wrong, and that in America at least, the government would protect Jews. I watched family friend Melba Lapidus murdered in a blast and never having her killer brought to justice. I sadly witnessed the killer of Sammy Schlanger, a Jewish attorney in my hometown of Nashville, never be caught. I thought perhaps that was merely incompetent policing, but now fear that perhaps the authorities just did not care sufficiently about my fellow Jews to really look that hard into their murders. At UCLA last night, I watched the Chabad rabbi threatened with murder right in front of police who refused to make any arrest, saying they were only there for "crowd control". Even in the United States, it seems the authorities who are charged with upholding everyone's rights including the protection of our lives have abandoned their duty to the one most vulnerable minority. Jews are left to fend for ourselves. 

First Amendment Issue

The Tennessee Star has published portions of the demented Covenant School murderer's manifesto and some evidence from the investigation of the massacre that took six innocent souls. The publishers are now threatened with incarceration for contempt of court. The caprice of a local judge should never be allowed to trump the free speech protections of the United States Constitution. 

New Day Dawning?

It is possible, that in France and Belgium at least, that the Left is in the process of losing power to more conservative parties. The Left kept pushing anti-farming policies which amount to being anti-humanity, but the Right in Europe brings different connotations than in America. Too often in the Old World, "Right" means authentic Hitler-loving Nazis, as we saw with Jorg Haider in Austria and see in the Azov thugs in Ukraine. Pro-native parties coming into power that oppose unfettered migration and support productive agriculture would be a benefit to the whole world. 

Prestige, Even Credibility

The United States has slipped into a morass where the President will either clearly be cognitively impaired or a convicted felon. Many nations hate America deeply, and the looming choice of leaders for the nation of Honest Abe will only reinforce their perception of our once being great to now descending to the status of a fallen country. The one redeeming fact is Trump is not actually guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted in a manipulated trial. The other certainty is that Joe Biden's mental decline will only worsen. 

Modern Day Miracle

After eight months of captivity and the horrors that accompany being held by conscienceless terrorists, four of the Israeli hostages have been rescued including Noa Argamani, the terrified concert goer seen pleading as she was spirited away on a motorcycle on October 7, 2023, during a precise operation carried out by Israel's police and intelligence forces. Freed along with her were Andrey Kozlov, Shlomi Ziv, and Almog Meir all recovered alive during two separate but simultaneous assaults of hideouts in Nuseirat, according to a news release in the Jerusalem Post. This masterstroke must be counted with Entebbe as a success for the tiny beleaguered state that seemed impossible before the mission was executed. Some might even see the hand of G-d in the amazing feat. 

The Take Down

If a malign force in government wants you in a prison, it is likely you will end up in one. Leona Helmsley once pointed out that in the tax year the prosecutors ferreted out her "tax crime", she and her husband paid several hundred million dollars in taxes, yet government attorneys found a way to first smear her ("only the little people pay taxes" which is something she may well have never said and certainly with the tax burden she and her husband maintained, never really believed) and then incarcerate the elderly lady. Martha Stewart was obviously such a danger to society that she needed to be behind bars at least in the mind of some government thug seeking a famous scalp. Now, our once and hopefully future President must have rubbed someone the wrong way or more likely became too much of a threat to entrenched power. 

Saving the World?

On this date in 1944, intrepid young men rushed Hitler's Fortress Europe to end the Nazi march of conquest and the massacre of the Jews. Today, self-identified Nazis of the Azov Brigade are feted as the heroic fighters stopping the Russians and preserving the "freedom" of the West. Jews faced the worst slaughter they have since Hitler was vanquished just this last October 7. It is good all those brave soldiers stormed those beaches, but it sure does not look like the world changed much for the better despite their heroics. 

Biden Innocent Lamb

Hunter Biden is as pure as the new snow. He would not be on trial now had it not been for the narcotic drugs fed to him by those devil Republicans (or was the crack cocaine perhaps taken willingly). In any event, I would wager a dollar to a doughnut that this First son never does any time for any crime. 

Betting on Aquittal

The way America works today, I think Hunter Biden will not be convicted of any criminal offense. I did not contend that he is not guilty, just that as rigged as this nation is now, he will not be convicted. Even in the unlikely event Hunter is found guilty, his father would pardon him. Hunter should be confident. He should know he faces no real jeopardy. 

The Nazi Judges

Because any particular judge or court system or even highest court makes or upholds or overturns a ruling, that does not make it right. Remember Dred Scott? Ever watched the movie "Judgement at Nuremberg"? The law in Germany upheld persecution at every turn. Just because someone dons a black robe or a white wig, that does not make them right. I would consider Judge Merchan's antics just as valid as those of Hitler's judges. 

Fell Like Rock

Do you remember that before the pandemic was unleashed that the United States under Donald Trump had achieved statistical full employment? Minorities were working at levels never seen before in America. Do you recall that before COVID, Trump and his Federal Reserve had tamed the rate of inflation, and even after the Wuhan virus, kept inflation contained to only 1.9 percent through Trump's term in office? Were you aware that in the last eighteen months of his administration, Trump lost no troops to combat in Afghanistan as opposed to the thirteen slaughtered during Biden's botched withdrawal? On these metrics, Trump was the superior leader to Biden, who managed to have all of his claimed "job creation" among immigrants or businesses reopening after arbitrary shut downs by government due to SARS-CoV 2 or through expansion of government itself with all the regulation and harassment of citizens incumbent in that (87.000 IRS agents), and now inflation hovers at 5.7 % year over year for a rate that is catastrophic.  

Nation Hits Bottom

Did you ever imagine that one political party in America could orchestrate the criminal conviction of their primary rival from the other party? These events do not happen in the United States, at least they never did, but now we must worry over Trump suffering the fate of Navalny. My native land is rapidly deteriorating into another Russia.
