Jews, No News

 https://www.algemeiner.com/2025/07/30/kill-all-jews-fbi-investigates-attack-new-york-kosher-restaurant-possible-hate-crime/

Let me get this straight.  Someone attacks a kosher restaurant in NYC shouting "Kill all the Jews", and the FBI isn't sure if it's a hate crime or not.  

Strangely enough, the MSM and/or local NYC news don't seem particularly interested in covering this incident.

 I think we know how a similar incident in a soul food or Halal restaurant would be covered.   It really does seem as though Judaism and Christianity ate the only two religious belief systems that are perfectly acceptable to publicly target.  

In a Shocking Turn of Events

Hysteria (When You're Near)

 Before I retired for the evening, I was swamped with dire warnings of worldwide tragedy from the massive Tsunami that resulted from the earthquake off of the Pacific coast of Russia.  When I woke up this morning, crickets.  Likewise, we had to endure a couple of days of out local weather boffins predicting all sorts of mayhem from a couple of bad storms.   Again, the aftermath was pretty underwhelming.

I understand that we need to warn people about dangerous events when possible, I just can't help concluding that it's possible to provide and accurate, reasoned, warning of actual potential danger without the hype and hysteria.  

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

 I might have posted this elsewhere, but the new Nike/WNBA ad campaign with the slogan "Let Them Cook" is spectacularly bad.  I though keeping women in the kitchen was frowned upon.

Nothing Burger, With Everything (Updated)

 https://x.com/collinrugg/status/1950234026947858909?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

 https://x.com/eyakoby/status/1950295112552239170?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

I'll be honest, I simply don't understand the brouhaha over the AE/Sweeney ad campaign.  Over the last few years we've been inundated with ad campaigns featuring scantily clad, morbidly obese black women (and been told how healthy they were) or men cosplaying as women based on exaggerating stereotypical female traits, but this is the new NAZAism.  From what I can tell, Sweeney is an actress who's become reasonably popular over the last few years which may or may not be related to her willingness to be nude on film.  From what I've seen she's more attractive than beautiful, seems pleasant enough and fits the "girl next door" stereotype fairly well.  The fact that a struggling clothing brand hired her to make a commercial (where she's actually fully dressed) seems logical given her popularity.   I do find the idiocy of the ASPL to be hilarious in this case.  Instead of choosing to "coexist" or "live and let live" they choose to help AE by making their ad MORE prevalent that AE could expect.   I'm not someone who would ever shop at AE, but if I was or if I was shopping for someone else, this nothingburger of a controversy would absolutely send me through their doors.  It's almost like the ASPL sucks at this kind of thing.   

 

 

 

Well, The Atlantic seems convinced that it is somehow wrong "for Americans to love boobs".  I could be wrong, but isn't the success of OF, many female content creators, and the ubiquity of porn evidence that America does in fact "love boobs"?   If I was a teenage boy watching this idiocy, I'd be convinced that conservatism was the political philosophy for me.

Behavior

 Recently Carnival Cruise Lines updated their rules around personal conduct while on their ships.  For some reason this has become a controversy.  

Let's start with the basics.  The ships belong to Carnival, they paid for them, and pay the expenses to keep them operating properly.   In general, the social contract many claim exists, has held that the owner of a property has the right to set expectations for how guests behave on their property.   I doubt any of us would stand by if a guest in our home got drunk and trashed the place, would we?  So it seems reasonable that Carnival would be able to establish some behavioral guidelines for those who are temporarily on their ships, doesn't it?   Beyond that, when you are on a boat with 3,000 other people isn't there some degree of common courtesy that should kick in?   Should you not restrict your behavior to the point that it doesn't prevent others from enjoying their vacation?  

So, what are these horrible rules.  

1.  1 AM curfew  for anyone under 17 not accompanied by an adult.

2.  A minimum age for "solo cruisers"  of 21 years of age.

3.  A ban on "Clack Fans" in certain areas of the ship.

4.  No saving pool chairs.

5.  A ban on all drugs  including weed.

6.  A ban on Bluetooth speakers (I think limited to public places)

7.   It also seems as if they've required that any request to remove automatic gratuities be handled in person.  

 8.  Stricter enforcement of the 15/day alcoholic drink limit for those with the drink package.

 9.   There are rumors of a "rap ban".  Given the presence of rap in popular culture since the '80s I find it hard to believe.  Having said that, I personally don't enjoy much rap music and would prefer to hear more variety.  I do think that it's not unreasonable, in public areas with small children, that there are certain songs (rap or otherwise) that might not be appropriate.  

For some reason there is a massive backlash among certain demographics of cruisers around these seemingly commonsense rules.   There are ample videos circulating of behavior that seems to more than justify this 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujxmg5A2sMA

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9HpZoPTMzk

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSOhOYAYsKc

 There are plenty of these out there, but the above are a few examples.   

 So, why are some black cruisers the angriest about these changes?   Good question.   Is there a subculture of American blacks that doesn't believe that the rules apply to them?  Is there a subculture of American blacks that doesn't seem to care about how their actions affect others?  

Ultimately what is about certain subcultures that seem to believe or act as if they believe that they are  exempt from social norms.   When I drive through certain parts of the city, I've noticed a tendency of some people to walk or ride in ways that are oblivious to others (usually with headphones).   For example, the person who slowly crosses a street (legally or not) with no apparent awareness of their surroundings.  Or the skateboarder who slowly weaves back and forth across an entire street as cars back up behind.   

 

To be very clear,  this IS NOT A RACE thing.  It's a CULTURE thing.   More accurately, it's a SUBCULTURE thing.  

It is crazy to think that expecting people to behave in a public place as if they understand and respect the fact that their behavior might effect others.  You know, treat others as you would like to be treated.  

 https://x.com/masinelije/status/1950173299704570076?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

It's exactly this kind of thing that I'm talking about.   Watch the video and try to justify the behavior.   Had a white woman done this to someone steeped in "hood culture" she'd have gotten the crap beaten out of her.

Revere

 There was a tragic shooting in NYC yesterday (note, NYC has pretty strict gun control laws), and apparently the shooter was mad at the NFL because he'd suffered TBI in high school.  I'm not sure I follow the logic, and it seems possible that the TBI affected his ability to process things logically.   But, no matter what those details end up being, it is still a tragedy for all involved.  

Yet, that's not really the point of this post.   CNN (revered practitioner of "real journalism)  was quick to pull the trigger (because pushing the narrative is important) on identifying the shooter as "white".   Of course pictures quickly point out the reality.  That the MSM is so quick to assume that any "mass shooter" is automatically a white, conservative, man when (starting with Pulse) we've seen that other demographics are increasingly engaging in these horrific acts.   

Here's a crazy notion.  Go back to how things were done back in the day, and double or triple verify things before you go on the air with bullshit.   Then, when mistakes happen, you can loudly and clearly apologize.

Totally Random

 I'm not a car guy at this point in my life, I was when younger, but not so much right now.   It probably has something to do with not being able to afford the cars I'd like to own.  

Having said that, the red paint that Mazda uses on some of their cars is simply gorgeous.  It's kind of like the best Candy Apple red from back in the day but better.

On a similar note, I saw a C8 the other day (possibly the most interesting Corvette in decades) that was painted the most boring shade of brown I can imagine.  I cannot fathom anyone that would intentionally choose that color.  

This, I Think, is a Bad Thing.

I can't decide whether this story is good or bad.  

On the one hand it doesn't help the ASPL narrative about illegal aliens and how law abiding they are.  On the other hand it doesn't help the ASPL narrative that guns are incredibly easy to get.  

But seriously, wouldn't you think that a police department would do a better background check?

As Dan is too lazy or cowardly to click the link, the data below represents the number of RAPES in each country compared between 2020 and 2023.  England and Wales (for example) had 60,000 more rapes in 2023, than in 2020.   The other countries mentioned experienced similar increases.  

 2000:
 England & Wales: 8,593
 Germany: 8,133
 France: 7,500
 Poland: 2,399

2023:
 England & Wales: 68,109
 Germany: 39,029
 France: 42,400
 Poland: 1,127

This statistic is probably the single piece of evidence that damns the ASPL and the "do no harm" folx.   Anyone with half a brain knows exactly what drove these massive increases of rape, yet the ASPL chooses to sacrifice women on the alter of unfettered immigration.

This response to the idiotic comment is awesome.  That Roza is unaware that cows are definitionally female, and that dairy products from a bull would not be what she's looking for says so much about her education and the extent of her brainwashing.  

 https://x.com/eyakoby/status/1948386724888908049?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

Speaking of teaching, and brainwashing, this is one more reason why the NEA also needs to go away.   While this is technically True (that the NAZI's did kill millions from different faiths) the term Holocaust has almost universally been applied to the genocide of the 6 million Jews.  Call me crazy, but maybe if the teachers union spent more time on teaching the basics, less on pushing left wing narratives, and trying to overthrow the Trump administration, we wouldn't be seeing the absolutely dismal results from our schools.  

The UN Needs to be Shut Down

So the evil IDF took a break from genociding Gazans and took lots of journalists to check out the hundreds of aid trucks waiting for Hamas and the UN to deliver to the starving Gazans.   

 https://x.com/eyakoby/status/1948200578376733081?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

Apparently the UN is scared to come to the aid of the starving Gazans because the roads are unsafe.  Who, pray tell, would be making the roads unsafe?   Could it be Hamas?   This entire starving Gazans narrative is simply propaganda to make Israel look bad regardless of the reality of the situation.  Given UNRWA's active participation in Hamas' 10/7 attack and the holding of hostages (a war crime), it seems reasonable to conclude that the UN bears significant responsibility for the shit show in Gaza.

If these numbers are close to accurate, and the UK government makes the choice not to reduce child rapes by 84%, and terror attacks by 67%, let alone all the rest, then they have simply shown themselves to  have surrendered to barbarians. These immigrants are leeches on society as well as driving a significant percentage of crime.

This is the second time (I believe) that I've posted some similar stats.   As with the video above, this is absolutely insane.  That we know, with certainty, that we could significantly reduce shoplifting in NY (and other crimes nationwide) by removing a relatively small number of criminals from circulation, but choose the revolving door that allows these people a free hand to keep offending is beyond comprehension.   That various government officials (who's job it is to serve their constituents) have made the intentional decision to inflict increased crime on those they claim to serve (in the case of shoplifting they force increased costs and decreased convenience) seems like grounds for recall/impeachment.

For years the NEA has insisted that all we need to do to improve student performance is to throw money at school budgets, yet the data (especially from urban schools) doesn't bear that out at all.   Part of the problem is that the $30k/student goes disproportionately to administrators and bullshit as opposed to teachers and class rooms.   Part of the problem is that schools are wasting time trying to "trans" kids and teach them about anal sex, instead of reading, writing, and math.   Part of the problem is the transition away from physical books to electronic tablets and laptops, as well as the transition away from assigning books of literary merit.   Obviously part of the problem is parents and culture, which don't require any money to fix.   That the NEA (and other teachers unions) are content to muck around with pretty much anything other than doing their jobs, and that the union leaders make huge salaries, can't even be considered as pert of the problem.  I personally have reached the point of burn the whole system down, and start over.   That students in 2025 can't pass tests from 1925 and earlier suggests that there might be some flaws in the system.   

Impatience and Lies

  "I asked Craig at his blog a very rational, very appropriate question. It's one he said he'd answer."

 

Well, coming out of the gate with a flat out lie is a bold move.  

 

 "Craig responded NOT with an answer but with links to three different people. Fair enough. I have long said that these guys don't have to do the work themselves."

 

Given that you won't do the work yourself, this is strangely both incredibly condescending as well as faux magnanimous.  

 

 "So, the guy leads with an unsupported set of claims"

  Coming from someone who regularly makes unsupported claims (see the claim above), this seems like one more example of the double standard Dan revels in.  

The difference between Dan and people who've devoted their entire life to  scholarly study of scripture and theology is that they have the courage to actually take stands.  

 

I offer to do Dan a favor, and I give him a few sources to consider, and his response is lies, bitching, and unproven claims.   

 

Dan, I was willing to do you the favor I offered.  That your response is this impatient screed which starts off with a flat out lie, gives me ample reason to withdraw me offer.   

 

If this question is truly so important to you, then you find the answer, you do your won research,  and stop demanding that we provide answers to questions that you claim are vital.   It's not my job to answer your vague, general, and pointless questions.

 It was a little surprising to hear the news that Ozzy Osborne died yesterday.   We all knew he wasn't doing well, but I think that the suddenness was a surprise.  I am genuinely happy that he got to experience one more opportunity to perform and celebrate his career a couple of weeks ago.   So many musicians we've seen die over the past few years didn't get that one last opportunity to perform.  I have to admit that I'm surprised at the number of Christians who are trying to convince themselves and others that Ozzy was a believer, based on some really random things.   Don't get me wrong, I hope that he was, but I've never seen any indication that he had any sort of Christian faith at all.  It's hard to believe that someone who's identity was the "prince of f#$%*&g darkness" was secretly a Christian, but I could be wrong.  

In any case, I hope that his family is doing well.   It's tough losing someone that suddenly.

 "NEW: It appears another hoax has been attempted. Family members of an 82-year-old Chilean man in PA went to the media claiming ICE arrested him while renewing a green card in Philly, that he died in ICE custody, then that he was secretly deported to Guatemala. The story went viral online. It appears to have been all made up by the family, which has since gone dark and stopped responding to the press. Here's what happened since the story first ran in The Morning Call, an Allentown, PA newspaper. - Records in Chile show a man with his same name and date of birth died in Chile in 2019. - Guatemala says they have no record of him being deported to their country. - DHS says there is no record of him appearing at any green card appointment in the Philly area, and they say ICE never arrested him. - DHS says they never deported him, and their only record of him entering the US is in 2015 from Chile via the visa waiver program, not an asylum grant from the 1980s as the family claimed. - His granddaughter claimed he was sick in a Guatemalan hospital with pneumonia after ICE deported him, and that he was traumatized (after first claiming he was dead). A doctor at the hospital she claimed he was at says there is no record of him being there. Link to updated story via the Morning Call, which DHX is calling "another hoax designed to demonize ICE":"

 

Any MSM outlet that carried this hoax should just stop pretending to do journalism and acknowledge that they're just outlets for propaganda.

CA Sucks

 So, last year we had devastating fires in the LA area.  The LW and CA governments promised that they would streamline permits and other bureaucratic hurdles to expedite rebuilding.   Then they had a big benefit concert to raise money for those affected by the fires.    Well, they didn't streamline the process and the benefit money didn't go to those who suffered damages, but at least they aren't evicting the squatters who are camping on people's property in Pacific Palisades.   

All this and streets full of trash, human waste, wasted humans,  virtually legalized shoplifting, hundreds of millions spent on homelessness (which got worse), millions of dollars on a train to and from nowhere, and massive budget deficits.   Oh, and In and Out is  clearly on their way out to TN.   But by all means let's elect Newsome to be the next president.

Least Conservative

 I saw something a few minutes ago that triggered what is the opinion that I hold that might be the least conservative.  

If we are going to continue our current Social Security/Medicare system as it is, then there needs to be an increase in the eligible taxable income.   Income up to at least $750,000 should be subject to FICA withholding.   The current number is based on conditions in the long past and needs to be adjusted.

I'm not going to post a link because there are plenty of news stories out there, but the MN DFL deciding to throw the Minneapolis Mayor (Frey) under the bus in favor of a Somali would be hilarious ("I am the mayor now") if it wasn't so concerning.   In the wake of two MASSIVE scandals which were perpetrated by members of the Somali community, there is no way to not be concerned about corruption and government fraud if this guy wins.    If the MN GOP was smart, they'd round up an intelligent moderate black man or woman and throw money behind their candidacy.   If y'all thought the exodus from MPLS was bad after the Summer of Love 2020, just wait.  

 

Hysterical Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth

 Steven Colbert ( an actor who portrays an exaggerated caricature of talk show hosts) "got fired" this week.   Leaving aside that he's a multimillionaire, and that the "firing" doesn't happen for months, I fail to see a reason for the hysteria.   Late night shows in general are experiencing declining ratings, and Colbert's show was losing tens of millions of dollars, so really the only question is why CBS didn't do this sooner or why they want to lose more money.    The hysterical ASPL crying about how this is Colbert's punishment for saying bad things about Trump are clearly unaware of the fact that the bulk of the entertainment industry has been saying bad things about Trump for years.  Just as clearly, they've never watched The View.  

The reality is that Colbert will have multiple opportunities to do his shtick elsewhere and even of he didn't he'd be just fine.   He can podcast, go on SXM, or any of the multitude of streaming services.     The show will likely live on in syndication and keep the paychecks coming.   His staff will all find other jobs and move on as well.   They may have to relocate, but welcome to the real world.  

In short this is the biggest pile of hysterical ASPL bullshit over nothing we've seen in a minute, but it'll die down in 36-72 hours and they'll find something else to whine about.   

Accuracy is Important

  "I just have to ask questions that always - always - go unanswered and even unacknowledged."

 When someone uses terms like "always", especially when they repeat the "always" for emphasis, there is a high degree of probability that the statement using the term "always" will be false.  It's claim that cannot practically be proven True, because it's generally beyond the ability/desire of the claimant to put forth the effort to do so.   On the other hand, it's not hard to prove false, as it only needs one example to do so.   

The hitch in proving this claim false, is that it is unlikely that the  questioner would accept the answer to a virtually identical (if differently worded) question as it's not the "same" question.   

The reality is that  those who ask questions like these know that answers are available, much more so with the advent of Google, from multiple sources.   Questions like these don't often seem to be actual requests for information as much as argument starters.   

As a general rule, when people use terms like "always", never, etc, I simply ignore them because they can't even be bothered to state their claim accurately.

I know Exodus gets a bad rap from the ASPL, but you'd think they'd like the part about equal justice for everyone and not favoring certain groups.    But no, we're obviously seeing a two tiered system of justice where some folks get off easy for vile crimes simply because of their demographic.

 During the Summer of Love 2020 as smoke from the burning shops owned by immigrants threatened a women's shelter and affordable housing was robbed and burned down, NPR published this excerpt from someone they'd interviewed.   They're literally platforming someone who thinks that riots, looting, and arson are "joyous and liberatory" while American cities are literally burning.    While taking taxpayer money from those who's cities were burning and who's livelihoods were destroyed.  I have no problem with pulling taxpayer funding.  

Their ratio of conservative to liberal is literally 0-100%

On the one hand they try to say that taxpayer funding is so minimal that it's no big deal, on the other hand they claim that cutting that funding will cause all sorts of disaster.

Given the urban/liberal slant to NPR/PBS it's hilarious to hear people pretending that there are some rural communities  that magically depend on public radio for things like emergency alerts.  What absolute freaking morons.  

FYI, the taxpayer funded programming on PBS (Sesame St, Arthur, etc) sells millions of dollars in merch (according to the NYT  Even as recently as 2022, Sesame Workshop generated $271 million in revenue and more than $20 million in profit, and that's just one of the brands with merch), so I think they'll be just fine repurposing those millions to cover the shortfall.

When they say the quiet part out loud and admit that illegal aliens do access various welfare programs they are not legally allowed to access.   I'd think that welfare fraud would be a crime here in the US.

This.    When these idiots play games trying to interfere with legitimate law enforcement activities, they should 100% face the consequences of their actions.

  Minnesota Democrats in the last few days:

- Two state welfare programs under investigation for defrauding Medicaid out of millions

- One of their state senators on trial for first-degree burglary

- An axe murderer being released early thanks to a law they passed.

 

Oh yeah, the "right wing extremist" who killed multiple lawmakers claimed that Tim Walz wanted him to kill Amy Klobuchar and all sorts of strange stuff.   

To top that off, we've got a whack job running for mayor of Minneapolis.  I thought Frey was bad, but they dredged up worse.   

 https://x.com/libertyusa37/status/1947496465061798333?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

Because of course he was partying with the scum that scammed millions from hungry Minnesotans, why wouldn't he?

 John McArthur finally went to be with The Lord.   Blessings on his family, friends, and Church as they mourn his passing.  

Signature (Updated)

 In the US we place a high value on signatures.   The reality is that our signature is required for almost everything important we engage in.   Petitions, checks, drivers license, buying a car or house, to name a few.   One of the upcoming issues in real estate is going to be moving from requiring closing documents to be wet signed, to e signed.   The infrastructure to protect e signatures is growing daily and will eventually allow for remote closings.   When a piece of legislation or treaty is signed into law we see elaborate signing ceremonies, because the final step in the process is someone affixing their signature to the bill or treaty.  

Enter the auto pen.  Who cares if your favorite movie start or musician uses and auto pen to sign thousands of autographs?   Well, collectors for starters.  Because collectors know that personally signed autographs are more value than those signed with an auto pen.    

Which brings us back to Joe Biden.  We now know that Biden did not actually sign most, if not all, of the bulk pardons issued in his name.   Which would seem to render them invalid.   Lord knows what other things he couldn't be bothered to sign properly and what other official actions are now null and void.   

Obviously there are instances where an auto pen is fine.   There are multitudes of informal acts signed by the president (turkey pardons and the like) which can reasonably be signed by an auto pen.   But are pardons and commutations in the same category?    Can a president say "Pardon all of those people." and delegate their power to others?   If so, then shouldn't the process be tightly monitored and controlled to prevent someone from slipping things into the pile of things to be signed?  

It's possible that this single issue from the Biden presidency might have the most significant ramifications in the long term.   If nothing else, there should be a formalized system that regulates what can be auto signed and what must be personally signed.   

The current revelations call into question the legitimacy many of Biden's actions, and his blithe attitude about delegating the authority of the office he was elected to fill is disturbing to say the least.

 "The ESIGN Act of 2000 is federal law that establishes the legal validity of electronic signatures on platforms such as DocuSign or the signature functionality of Adobe PDFs. It is and has been widely accepted for over two decades. In my practice of corporate law it is the standard, with wet-ink signatures increasingly uncommon. I have done billion dollar deals on e-signatures. Under the ESIGN Act of 2000 there are rigorous rules establishing the validity of an e-signature, including IP address tracking. The unauthorized use of a physical autopen is not covered by the ESIGN Act of 2000 and is a completely separate legal issue. NBC News is not only trying to distract from Biden Autopengate, they are doing so with a complete lack of understanding of what they are reporting on. "Journalism" "

 

Because, clearly,  good old fashioned reporting of the facts is out of style at NBC.  Even if some idiots do still revere them.

What are the odds that this kid's father is not in his life much, if at all?    What could possible go wrong for him as he gets older?

How likely is it that this new video is a preview of what's in store for the first kid?   Either this kid is literally playing with a loaded, real, gun or it is a very realistic Airsoft.

 Isn't this just the "noble savage" myth updated for 2025?   Because this little cartoon leaves out quite a bit as it extols the virtues of prehistoric hunter gatherer or subsistence farming societies.  

 

 

Vacation

 https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2016/10/02/minnesota-pays-public-housing-rent-somali-refugees-travel-overseas-months/

One more example of how many "refugees" claims are exaggerated or false.  If you can afford to return to the place you needed refuge from for an extended period of time, then you're likely not really qualified for refugee status and probably shouldn't get getting taxpayer funded rent assistance while you're on vacation.   

Honesty

 https://x.com/doge__news/status/1943830164288278971?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

Because the ASPL expected Trump to be honest, but cut Biden all sorts of slack.   

Well?

 

Surplus?

 https://x.com/wallstreetapes/status/1943548716058841445?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

Going from a $71.5 billion deficit to a 26 billion dollar surplus in a year seems like a pretty good thing, right?    

While this is good news, by any measure, and goes a ways toward debunking the narrative from the MSM.    I think that we need to see more than a one month surplus before we get too excited.

Let this man run, win, and let voters see what it means to have a Marxist mayor in one of the most important US capitalist cities. Let 1000s of businesses find out. Let parents find out. Let centrist voters find out. This extremist is now embraced by the Democrats - this is their party now. Globalize the Intifada and all. The AOC wing of the party is taking over, so let them. Give voters the choice - let them see the consequences of voting in this madness. Giving it our all, raising money, fighting for 4 months to stop this guy is just putting a patch on the Democrats, it's ignoring reality, it strengthens the ongoing deception happening. Let the voters experience the modern progressive democrat party that sides with Hamas, with Marx, and every other failed people & ideology on Earth. Let young voters experience this too. They think they are so smart! That they know everything. So let them have their cake - let them F*ck Around and Find Out It's not our job to run interference for the Democrats to shield them from themselves. Shabbat Shalom!! "
