DAMN IT, DAMN IT, AND DAMN IT AGAIN. .

 Ad Nauseum, for I know, I KNOW, that if you are a person of even a modicum of intelligence, you are not a happy camper today.  Join the club! We have two major groups: the ones who knew exactly the woes that damned demented narcissist spoiled brat of a dangerous baby in a man's overgrown body would bring down upon us; the second, growing rapidly, is the new meaning of "woke", for they have finally awakened to the truth. 

What is the truth? My pleasure. This is the only part which allows me a mote of joy, albeit a sad joy, as I am vindicated, infinite times over, having warned countless times, screamed those warnings, pleaded for those warnings. Indeed, I told you so.

This man was and is and always will be a clear and present danger to this nation and, in fact, to the entire world. He made sure of that with his manic insanity - the revival of a deservedly dead policy - the innately, proven so by history, egregiously dangerous oh so wrong and dumb, plain dumb, moronic policy of tariffs and trade wars, and protectionism, isolationism. And there ya' go -again, yet again, the very expected gift. 

Oh, are not gifts good? Do we not love unwrapping them and oh the suspense! But there is no suspense in this gift, no unwrapping, no guessing. Already exposed is what we have known would come to life though too many willfully denied it. Refused to admit the truth as presented by inner eye and mind. 

What should we have seen and decried loudly for our own sakes, let alone the rest of the world? The falsity of his self-proclaimed expertise as a historian. As faulty as his map skills, his morality, or rather its noticeable absence. In his intelligence, inadequate at double digit level. Last, but not least, the fact that he is a convicted felon on 34 counts and a recognized sexual pervert and harasser. A traitor to his nation and possessing an outsized undeserved ego with a desire, expressed in so many euphemistically phrased words, to remain in office perpetually, as the Life Leader of Amerika or even better, as All Hail to The King Donald I, the First of His Name and the Royal Princes -Donald Jr., Eric and Barron.   

History has already proven numerous times of the imminent and eminent ultimate failure of the policy of tariff imposition. It leads to trade wars. It leads to poverty among the people, not for the elite and the criminal, sometimes one and the same. Its inherent protectionism and isolationism inevitably lead to stronger, higher resentment and defiance. Yet another war, more bloodshed, more destruction. England, France, America, nations large and small, wealthy or not, have learned the hard way that trade wars do not work. Their only definite positive promise of conclusion is the resultant war. Before that inevitable war there are years of awful misery, starvation and poverty, of deep hopelessness such as most of us have never known.

Yet today Trump handed us the keys to that Great, Great Depression to come, proudly presented to us as yet another gift, this time openly, no more subterfuge, on a tarnished, useless tray of base metal. "Look, America. Look World. I surely have made you proud. Eggs over $8 a dozen? You ain't seen nothing yet!" 

Those of you who have placed your trust in this man to be loyal to Israel are now finding yourselves in deep quicksand sucking you under in rapid pace. Israel removed every single tariff dealing with the United States, yet yesterday even though Israel has removed every tariff relating to America, Trump has accused Israel of stealing intellectual property. He has imposed a 17% tariff on such items from Israel to America. This is a little puzzling as Israel shares much of its cutting-edge knowledge of technology, medicine, weaponry with America and certainly has no need to steal.      

What a crock from a man full of --- ! 

 Tell me now how Trump is a good friend of Israel. Tell me now whether Israel will be denied sufficient weaponry, purchase and funding for such in its desperate existential battle with its enemies, as they are always at the ready to join in the slaughter, down to the last cry of pain from the last infant.       And make no mistake about it, for if Israel, the defense and fortress for all world Jewry goes under, we know where the next wave of hate will land.

Do we not!  

The man's gotta go. Should his puppets in positions of influence in office dance to his atonal ear fracturing music again and fail to uphold their responsibilities to the people of this nation, in fact, to all the people of the world, we will meet up close and personal to a world such as we would have never known, and should, in fact, never have known. One  GOP Senator said as regards this tariff policy that we are "entering uncharted territory and we are all dead".    

How right he is.

The man needs to go.  He needs to be shown his cell where he belongs, where he can harm no more, no others other than himself. And that is his decision. What is for sure? That we need him out of the Oval Office. Out of DC. Out of any position of influence or power. 

It is time for the 25th Amendment.

Yesterday hope faded.

Today is even worse. 

On the morrow - I fear to tread. 

NO MORE BACK DOORS!

 The time has come. It is past time, long past time and yet here we are reverting in 2025 to actions more suitable to earlier times, times we thought we had dismantled, declared obsolete and of no more use. No longer would we be going to take people out the back door so that their words would not be heard or under the claim that they would be more protected if they were induced to slink out as thieves in the night, hidden, stifled, to go unheard. However, these stifled words were and are of great value and should not have faced extinguishing simply because there were a bunch of loud mouths out there who threatened violence. Speakers were shut down even as they had followed all the rules and regulations. On the other hand there were those who did not follow the rules. Yet they were not shut down. Why is that? I ask again - why. is. that?  

There were those who say that protesters have the right to scream, to chant. Yes, they do. What they do not have the right to do is to scream and chant of death, of violence, of incitement of violence, of plans for violence, and certainly so on campus grounds by outsiders. Many of the non-campus protesters have been exposed as being associated with terrorist groups, with funding by and from these groups, who, interestingly enough, also call for the death of America while living in America. A tad puzzling and a greater tad irritating!

Questions are raised. In the wake of all that has been going on, on campuses round the nation, why are non-campus groups allowed entry? Colleges and universities have the right, no, the duty and responsibility, to shut their gates, close their gates to outsiders with nefarious and dangerous plans  to not only shut down the campus group who dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's, but to do violent bodily harm, to close their access to public speaking, to herd them out the back door, if left able to walk!!  

That the security forces were the ones to herd them out, shut down the peaceful legitimate assembly, as thieves in the night, does not whitewash that act by calling it a protective move. The violent threatening non campus protesters with no right to be on campus should have been those who were taken away. Not the Jewish group. Not out the back door. Not to be driven away, shut down, deprived of their right of free speech and peaceful assembly - rights guaranteed in the Constitution. As if criminals in the night.

This entire nasty occurrence is particularly offensive due to its location, taking place in a notoriously outed university system, on a viciously active JewHatred campus. The entire California State University establishment is rotten with active and violent antisemitism and particularly so in the San Marcos campus in North San Diego County.  Campus authorities had the duty to lock out non campus poison shouting protesters and keep intimidation and threats of violence from being spewed forth onto any campus students. Whatever their cause, whatever their origin. Period. 

Words of protest, yes. Words of threats of violence, no. Acts of violence - to be criminally charged and prosecuted.  Back doors are to be locked, unused, and front doors wide open to legitimate assembly inside, no interference within, and peaceful protest without. Legitimate, lawful, as it should be. Respectful of the rights of all, even if distasteful. If we are to continue to be America and Americans, this is the only way forward. 

This event of March 25 is quite scary and relevant and pointing to the temper of our times, to its ugly possibilities and probabilities, for that matter. It is not a concern for some distant far-off time. It is happening now. Once again. 

It began and begins again with words. Graduating to threats and acts of violence. To destruction of property. And finally, to destruction of people, any people, any chosen target. Humanity has developed a well-honed skill for that. On another April 1 the Nazis engaged in an orgy of fire, blood lust, and destruction, but why must we fear it again, today, in 2025, in America? 

We should not and will not. No longer. Not again. Not ever. Know that the world knows better now. That we Jews know better now. That we know the capability of mankind. We know the ugliness and inhumanity of which they are capable and too often desirous of. Know there are enough Righteous to stand against, withstand these ugly waves of hate and bloodshed. No matter its origin, no matter the target. No matter its guise and path. 

NO! NO! AND NO AGAIN.

 No more backdoors. No more abrogation of rights. No more violence, but certainly no more violence unrepaid. Time for the authorities in the world to know, to be able to distinguish between those who have a right to speak and that those who also have a right to speak, but who may not impinge on the rights of the first by threats and acts of violence and death. Time to stop this backdoor policy.

As we approach the holiday of Passover, a holiday celebrating our exodus from slavery and becoming a nation once again, we will not tolerate those who wish to render asunder that nationhood. Upon the heels of Passover, we have three extremely important days in our lives. First is our national, international, day of mourning. We honor the memory of all those martyred during the Holocaust. Men, women, children, infants. It mattered not to their butchers. We will always remember them and honor them and reassure them that such a horror will never be again, ever. EVER!

 Kfir, Ariel, forgive us.   

 Immediately afterwords we commemorate yet another day of mourning. It is Yom Hazikaron, the Day of Remembrance, when we remember and mourn those of the Jewish nation, the people of Israel, who have been killed via terrorist attacks, or standing in defense of the nation, the State of Israel, this defender and home of and for all Jewry. We will never bow nor bend to those who would deny us our indigenous, G-d given homeland, a land where there has been permanent Jewish residence, and a permanent place in our hearts and prayers. Always, even in the concentration camps, there was that dream, those prayers, to return to our land. To reestablish the State of Israel. Always present in the consciousness of the Jewish people for we knew our acceptance into the society of any country was never permanently assured. We learned that the hard way.  Always - Tzion, Zion. Our thousands who fallen in her name and unfortunately the many who continue to do so, for the hate never ceases, are forever etched into our hearts, always to be remembered and honored.

Finally, we celebrate the refounding, the   reestablishment of a Jewish homeland. Once again, reversing the Exile of the millennia. Our Home. Our Land. Our Destiny.   

Am Yisroel Chai - Lanetzach.      

The nation of Israel lives - Forever! 

Yesterday.

Today. 

And for all the 

On the morrows.

 

UGLY AND STINKY - NOSE HOLDING WILL NOT HELP

  We would have to go way back in American history to find another such corrupt administration. In fact, it appears as if this Trumpian administration will over top any and all that have gone before and force this nation to wallow in the filth of corruption, in its resultant and unavoidable agony and distress. For all that will arise for when governments choose deliberately the path through the reeking sulfurous swamp and take us along on this doomed trip all the electorate, willingly or not. 

 The question remains, what will come after this manifest mess of an administration? Will we be able to reverse or even stop it in its tracks, end its momentum, or are we too late, too immersed in the stink and the rot, too deep, too wide for any remediation? What will in fact we be forced to deal with here in America? Will there be a possibility of regaining our position as a role model to the world, of a functioning country, benefiting its citizens equally, striving to be better, to be fairer, to live up to the promise etched on the Lady of the Harbor and into the very makeup of a true American? Will we live up to the words of President Lincoln, "a government of the people, by the people, for the people"? 

We have already strayed so far, rendered asunder so much of our basis, our ethos. The heaviness of the burden of a return to sanity and morality in government, to a strongly firmly structured three branch administration, could be overwhelming. However, there is no other way other than for us, the American people, to stand up to tyranny, rage against it, break it and return this nation to its former reputation and function, to its mutual responsibilities to and from its citizens, to a loyal cadre of legislators, judges, functionaries. 

The necessity for a path to that achievement is clear as is the path. It is just that our eyes cannot see it, so blinded are we by the unbelievable events and composition of the current administration. This administration used our very democracy to turn all on its head and used it to negate all of its hopes and dreams, all of its promises and laws, spurning and casting aside any and all precepts of democracy, any of the rules in place which enabled this nation to live, to grow, to be a leader for the world, a role model for all. A place where dreams could come true and there were no false wizards behind curtains. 

To do that, to avoid further enablement of travel on the most dangerous rotten road so inimical to us, to a positive future, we must do the same. Use any and all of the possibilities, the strengths and even the flaws of democracy, to cast out Trumpian inept and hostile personnel, and replace them with Americans once again. Those who believe in and are loyal to the precepts put forth by our founders. Those who abide by a fair system, all three branches of government, and not twist, pervert, deny and negate all that we have achieved over the centuries of our establishment as an independent nation.  

We have lost our way, and we must wend our way back to it. We must get out and vote. We must stand in the streets and chant, wave flags, and stop the momentum of the ever-increasing degeneration of America, as she was envisioned, as she was, as she strove to be and who she is not any longer. 

In that nation, it will not be a criminally indicted pathetic demented corrupted soul sitting in the Oval Office. It will not be a crook who misuses his power of pardon-to-pardon other thieves such as he. The corrupt, the inept, the perverted souls will no longer be welcomed into the administration. One who despises all that America is, who shreds the Constitution almost with every breath he takes, who stomps on it with contempt, with every step he takes, who rules by fiats as a dictator, who has destroyed the balance of America's government, will not be sitting in that Oval Office. He will instead be incarcerated where he belongs.  

Time for Americans to understand it is time for America to stand up against him and his entire package. Time to stand up for America, for us. This Trumpian government is not our government. It's championed theories and modes of behavior are anathema to any civilized, modern right-thinking nation. Anyone who thinks and acts and behaves otherwise will be cast aside, to join in with the millions of those laid off, in desperate situation, unable to feed families, to educate children, to dream. Trump, never ever truly with the people, has openly turned this nation into a cash cow for his business empire and those of his uber wealthy.   

The time for rescue of our nation is upon us. The time is fleeting for us to do so. We must out Trump the Trumpians, clear the air and find that road which will indeed and in fact lead us to the pot of gold at the end of it, even as the colors of the rainbow shine into it.  We must physically, verbally, morally, stand against the usurpation of America, it's theft from beneath our feet, its eternal loss for all humanity. We must resist the damage of human boll weevils who have bored deep into our souls, weakened us almost to the point of no return. It is always more difficult to reverse than find detours and we are in the reversing situation. W must be strong, aware, determined, and understanding of truth if we are to succeed in turning this nation and our fates around, into positive friendly territory, rife once again with possibilities inherent in a nation such as America.

America of yesterday.

America as she was once, today, now failing.

America as she could be, with our help and determination for all

the morrows coming our way.  

ABSURDITY AS THE NEW REALITY

    “It's absurd!”

That is the statement that I am making far more often these days than ever before. That is the reality of the world today. Words and statements are presented as words direct from the Heavens and spouted forth to be accepted by willing ears and challenged minds. Making no sense, yet they are the apparent favorites of too many of this world. Herds of the unthinking and/or underthinking beings gather together to cheer that which they should boo with enthusiastic derision. How is one to make sense of what is nonsense, what cannot be sense, for it is just absurd?

More absurd than the words themselves are the contents of those words. So often, too often, people stand with posters and banner, pins and ribbons, and chant in hypnotic rhyming words and tone, blocking and intimidating to the best of their ability, ostensibly putting forth deep and righteous thoughts. With a few more seconds of sensible    perusal of planned chants and plans, the innate absurdity of the garbage they were peddling would have been blatant and unable to be ignored. 

More bizarre is the fact that what they were championing, all these protesters, hoodwinked and overflowing with hatred, was contrary to civilized and enlightened society for they stood there urging, praising, murder and havoc rained upon whom and what they disliked. Their suggestions, their words of praise, are anathema and yet too often they found supporters, some equally as hoodwinked, and some simply overflowing faulty barrels of toxic contagious Evil. 

It seems as if the entire world has gone off track, wobbling on its axis, and brains are exploding. Adults who should and indeed do know better, joined in on the fun, so eagerly displaying their progressiveness and desire to atone for past contrary words and actions. What was not known then, but is well known now, is that these protests, these marches, these ugly demonstrations, were not so spontaneous. 

Clearly definable lines of connection between organizations of terror and campus organizers, of intense preparation of material and accoutrements, of funds at the ready, all so necessary for success of their obscene actions were uncovered. Yet, absurdly, the followers of this roiling ugly faith, dripping anathemic corrosive words of condemnation and threat for all who did not follow along, continued on, just dumb and dangerous herds. 

This discovery, so late in its finding, in its late and still denied and defied acknowledgement, spread rapidly to streets and campuses of nations round the world. Absurd - yet there it tis, a new reality. Ugly. Nonsensical. Homicidal and Suicidal. A gaggle of ugly geese laying rotten eggs. The air of the world suffused with the reek of sulfur straight from the lowest depths of Hell.

Absurd, contrary to common sense, to anyone with a modicum of sense, with a few working gray cells is the pushing for, advocating for and urging of murder and chaos. It will only result in a formidable backlash, a reversal of the hatred, a focusing on the instigators, discounting their pathetic words of defense and the end will be worse than the beginning. 

This has been proven so since the beginning of time, as soon as two people emerged from their respective caves, yet on we go maintaining this most clearly fruitless, negative behavior, too often, most often, with resultant conditions worse than ever. 

Yet we do not catch on, do we?    

The primary definition of insanity.

 Even more absurdly in our ugly reality, instead of choosing leaders of wisdom, of compassion, capable of thinking out of the box leaders, so desperately needed, we instead turn to the absurd. Once again. Too often again. Look around the world at the nations of the globe and see how many of these "leaders” are criminals of more than one act, in such careers of long-term duration, and crazed with greed and desire for power. 

What the hell is the matter with humanity?

 What the hell is the matter with us, at least those of us who know better, who have working brain cells?

One such leader is bad enough, capable of causing great harm. Worse is the rate at which they are proliferating, at the rate of rabbits and roaches.

Simply awful.  

Yesterday we had a mixed bag.

Today, that bag carries nothing good for us.

On the morrow - Well, we had better search for a fresh new bag, untainted by what came before.
