Quick reminder: 30 Days ago Joe Biden was still the nominee of the Democrats and every MSM outlet out there INSISTED that if you suggested that he was in the slightest bit impaired you were a dishonest deep fake liar.
That it has been under a month since this moment is still a matter of wonderment for me.
The prime minister of Israel spoke to congress this Wednesday and as this happened a bunch of people who do not support Donald Trump for president stormed the capital and defaced a bunch of monuments in DC while burning American Flags and assaulted police
The press didn’t find any of this a problem and I predict the US government will not consider any of this stuff very insurrectiony. After all it’s not like they were Trump voters or doing anything REALLY dangerous like praying at an abortion clinic.
Well that’s what you get with stolen elections isn’t it?
This is how bad the gaslighting has become with the press.
Old friend Elizabeth Scalia is beside herself over the blatant in your face lies that the press is telling but I say the real issue here is lack of Christ:
This is actually the end result of the "Post #Christian" society.
When these people believed false witness was a deadly sin those who committed it were at the very least embarrassed when caught and at best restrained.
The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and you’d be surprised how a sermon on the dangers of hell heard when young might make a difference later in life.
While she skipped the speech of Netanyahu’ she had a private meeting with him away from the cameras and she came out of that meeting breathing fire:
Israel has about six months to become militarily self-sufficient, because if she wins she's going to cut them off and weaponize the Security Council – she's really hard core, don't kid yourselves https://t.co/MgRZTV1SCW
This along with the ignoring of angry terrorist sympathizers in DC & NYC are the fulfillment of this statement that I made many years ago:
Right now the left has the Gays and the Transgenders and the Hollywood elites & media in which they are overrepresented and they figure that’s the best things to have, but in America Islam is a thing of the future. In 20 years the children of Muslims now being raised on the tenets of Sharia law in America will be old enough to vote and Democrats going to make sure they get those votes when the time come, not now but 10-20 years from now.

If you’re an American Jew and you don’t take measures to defend or protect yourself now you’re going to doom yourself to a future where the days of Moses in Egypt are your best case scenario.
Ok that’s an exaggeration, but not by a lot
And to lighten this heavy move our 1972 Baseball league had an interesting twist.
Last years World Series Winning LA dodgers have fallen on hard times with the worst record in the league and were facing the Cleveland Indians deep in a fight for a wild card spot. They started Wayne Twitchell who came in with a 1-10 record vs the 8-10 Bill Stoneman.
And this happened:
That the thing about baseball you never know when something like this is going to happen.
You know maybe it’s just me but if I wanted to convince people that election 2020 was on the up and up I likely would pass a law making it illegal for the canvasing boards from investigating election fraud.
Michigan state Senator Jim Runestad is furious today after Democrats pass a new bill that changes 70 year-old law, and prevents the Board of Canvassers from investigating election fraud

Of course if my goal was to win at all costs and didn’t have a problem with people knowing I was cheating I might think otherwise.
One of the side effects of Caitlin Clark joining the WNBA has been on X / twitter.
Every time her Indiana team plays the WNBA and her team trend on X / twitter
I’ve been on twitter for a while and I don’t remember seeing the WNBA trending before, now it trends every few days.
Still not breaking even though, at least not yet.
Last week’s Doctor Who was one of the best of the season in terms of writing and plot. A real barn burner of an episode.
Which makes it such a shame that so few people saw it as Doctor Who is setting records for the lowest viewership in its history.
Davies has tried to bring back classic villains and classic characters to bring old fans home, however he also gave us the previous week’s episode Rogue which was described by my son who watched it as “below the level of the Chibnall years” as it seemed the only point of the episode was to generate a gay make out scene that Davies wanted to have with Capt. Jack but didn’t do before.
I skipped that one myself as I don’t watch shows with guys making out.
Bottom line when you tell established fans to get lost that you don’t want them, they tend to grant your wish and the Disney+ money won’t last forever.
There are a lot of sad stories from the war against Hamas but one of the saddest is this one:
Ada Sagi, one of the hostages released in November, used to be a peace activist, like many other Israelis in the Gaza Envelope. She no longer believes in peace.
The sad thing here is that it took her being taken hostage to believe what has been plain to many of us for decades. The Palestinians wants Jews dead and no amount
Reality never cares what your beliefs are
Finally the “Just stop Oil” crowd decided that damaging Stonehenge was an appropriate action for their group and it appears that they might have actually crossed a line red enough to generate real punishment for their crimes.
I have a simple suggestion myself, if they are so dedicated to forcing people back to the 18th century sentence them to an 18th century prison.
No Electricity, no plastics, no internet of course, no modern toilets, no pesticides to keep out vermin, hot in summer, freezing in winter with only whatever they can set afire for heat.
Give them the life they desire for others, then go after the backers who have paid for all this nonsense.
Watching the world push the idea that saving the Israel hostages was a massacre makes an interesting contradiction.
Israel has taken every possible step to both save the lives of the hostages taken by Hamas and held by Hamas sympathizers or members because Israel values the lives of their citizens and for reasons that I frankly can’t understand also values the lives of non-combatants who want them dead.
Personally I question the “non-combatant” status here but I digress…
Hamas and the Arab world sees it quite differently.
We know Hamas loves 200 dead in rescuing hostages because they’re pawns in their war against Israel & every one of their people killed who are non-combatants hurts Israel diplomatically and the Arab world which also hates Israel to the max agrees.
There is however another dirty secret here concerning the rest of the Arab world. They love seeing those 200 dead Palestinians no matter what their combatant status not just because it hurts the Jews but I submit the love it as well because they hate the Palestinians only slightly less than they hate Jews.
Frankly I think it’s unfair to the Palestinians the way the other Arabs hate them. It’s as if they blame them for losing to Israel (face culture you know) & that it reflects on them. I suspect that is why the Arabs who were previously “Jordanians” and “Egyptians” became “Palestinians”. It allowed them to separate themselves from their defeat by the Jews before and after the formation of Israel.
Oh and there is one more dirty little secret, if Israel & every single Jewish person in it disappeared tomorrow the various Arabs groups in the area would celebrate for about 15 minutes before getting going with slaughtering each other. The Jews are a convenient distraction from that.
Now I refer to these things as “dirty little secrets” although in fairness:
It’s not really a secret to anyone who has even a basic knowledge of the area and its history.
Given what we’ve seen in Syria, Lebanon and even the West Bank and Gaza while hating Jews might distract Arabs from killing each other, it’s not a highly successful distraction.
Tom Hagen:Well, I say yes. There is more money potential in narcotics than anything else we’re looking at now. If we don’t get into it, somebody else will, maybe one of the Five Families, maybe all of them. And with the money they earn they’ll be able to buy more police and political power. Then they come after us. Right now we have the unions and we have the gambling and those are the best things to have. But narcotics is a thing of the future. If we don’t get a piece of that action we risk everything we have. Not now, but ten years from now.

There is an interesting piece at Hotair concerning Pittsburgh and change in (almost all) Democrats concerning the aftermath of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting titled: Is Pittsburgh still stronger than Hate? by Salena Zito. She talked about the unity against the slaughter of Jews and the Pittsburgh stronger than hate campaign which isn’t what it once was:
…seemingly everywhere you went, the Pittsburgh Stronger Than Hate logo, which cleverly had the Steelers’ distinctive mineral elements as part of the design, was on T-shirts, kippahs, lawn signs, hoodies and more.
Recently, however, Pittsburgh became the site not of strength and unity but of hatred and division. A group of over 300 far-left activists established a Gaza solidarity encampment on the private property of the University of Pittsburgh, and the community has not been the same since.
You see the Ghastly Tom Hagen Math has caught up with Pittsburgh and math being math it’s unrelenting:
Right now the left has the Gays and the Transgenders and the Hollywood elites & media in which they are overrepresented and they figure that’s the best things to have, but in America Islam is a thing of the future. In 20 years the children of Muslims now being raised on the tenets of Sharia law in America will be old enough to vote and Democrats going to make sure they get those votes when the time come, not now but 10-20 years from now.
And if that means more LGBT Americans have to live in fear during those two decades, well it’s small price to pay for power.
Given the rise of “Queers for Palestine” It seems the LGBT community has seen the tiger charging and decided their immediate goal is to run faster than the Jews in order to be eaten last.
Meanwhile Democrats with power can also do the math and with new math comes new priorities:
Both the city of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County leadership were noticeably mute in the first 30 hours, with both Mayor Ed Gainey and Allegheny County Chief Executive Sara Innamorato, the latter having her early political success as a member of the Pittsburgh Democratic Socialists, saying absolutely nothing for over a day.
When Gainey finally did offer a statement, it was through the Pittsburgh Public Safety spokesperson who wrote that the “encampment/sit-in at the University of Pittsburgh is strictly taking place on private campus property.”
As one elected Democrat who asked not to be identified said to me in a fit of frustration, “If the KKK had been doing this at Pitt, private property or not private property, I can guarantee you Gainey would be there in a heartbeat.”
Jewish progressive Democrats don’t seem to get it:
“The swiftness of it when you think of it is head-turning,” DePasquale said. He said no matter what happens on social media, he will always stand up for what is right when it comes to any religious group.
“I am all for standing up for the First Amendment,” he said, adding that calling for the end of Jewish groups or intifada is beyond a bridge too far.
Pennsylvania state Rep. Abigail Salisbury, a Democrat, Jew and proud progressive, who Gainey, Innamorato and Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.) recently unsuccessfully tried to oust in a Democratic primary, (emphasis mine) said on Facebook, “It seems that many people expect Jews to sit quietly with our hands folded and allow others to tell us what is antisemitic. We won’t.”
They don’t see the math behind all of this both those Democrats who denounced hate all those years ago who now wanted the pesky Jew defeated see Muslims who want Jews dead as the future of their party:
For every Frankel, Heisler, Salisbury and DePasquale, there were the posts or retweets by Lee, county Councilwoman Bethany Hallam and city Councilwoman Barb Warwick that cut to the heart of Salisbury’s post.
Warwick, who tried but failed to introduce a Pittsburgh City Council ceasefire resolution and represents Squirrel Hill, issued a statement that said in part that the words “intifada” and “from the river to the sea” hold different meanings to different groups.
Could you imagine Democrats supporting someone who defended the Confederate battle flag saying it meant different things to different people?
The truth is that this is all about timing. It’s likely true that Mayor Gainey would have acted if the KKK was behind the camps today, but I suspect if the KKK ran such a camp in say 1920-1950 when the KKK was a political powerhouse within the Democrat party then I suspect Mayor Gainey would have acted much as he did now. And it goes without saying if Gainey was mayor of a city in the deep south during that period he might have joined the encampment itself.
You see the Democrat party needs to explain to Jewish Democrats like Frankel and Salisbury the real mathematical and demographic principle that’s in play here and nationally among Democrats. This principle can best be expressed by rephrasing Lincoln famous speech concerning his priority being not abolition but union. It would go something like this:
Our Paramount goal is to elect democrats and is not to prevent or enable the slaughter and/or oppression Jews in Israel or America
If we can elect democrats by protecting Israel and Jews in America from slaughter or oppression we will do it
If we can elect democrats by enabling the slaughter or oppression of Jews in Israel and America we will do it.
and if we can elect democrats by enabling the slaughter and/or oppression of Jews in some places while protecting Jews from slaughter and/or oppression in others we will do that too.
Now there was a time when such a manifesto might have been unacceptable to Democrats and to some like Senator John Fetterman who was Lt. Gov of Pennsylvania at the time of the Tree of Life Synagogue slaughter such a position still is but to those more “pragmatic” democrats in a party that his largely secularized such position doesn’t pay any percentages. Islam is a thing of the future and the Democrats want those young voters from large families who are now calling for the slaughter of Jews in their camp.
I’m sure that someone can be sent privately to Frankel, Heisler, Salisbury and DePasquale that none of it is personal, it’s strictly political business.
Closing thought #1: The real irony here is that many of these progressive Jewish democrats fought hard to secularize the nation and the laws to push Christian faith out of the public square and out of their party. In retrospect that might have been a bad idea.
Closing thought #2 One of the most interesting things about this development is how it crystalizes the Democrat’s war on the past. They were against anti-Semitic hate when it didn’t cost anything politically but now demur when it does. It’s very telling.
If you want to figure out which democrats would have stood against the KKK when it was electorally dangerous to do so (1920-1950) look at the ones who have stood against the anti-Semitic encampments all over blue states & universities and if you want to figure out which Democrats will be making excuses for those who who will be lynching Jews and throwing gays off the roofs of tall buildings in blue America in twenty years look at those who are not.
Closing thought 3: I personally saw all of this coming in Boston 6 years ago when organizers of an “anti-nazi” protest had to hold their people back from beating a person wearing an Israeli flag.
Now they don’t feel they need to so do anymore.
