Summer

I am actually not going to talk about the selfrighteous stupidity of the European elites concerning indoor air conditioning. Somehow, their refusal to create livable situations for people in the middle of heatwaves makes them somehow superior to those of us who live in the US and choose not to die in heatwaves.

Of course, there is a little secret that they are also not telling you, the European Parliament where they like to get on their high horse and castigate the world, has air conditioning. Figure that. (And yes it eventually shut down because apparently the electrical grid is so poor it caused all kinds of issues.)

It’s like the mayor of NYC telling everyone to turn their thermostats up to 78 degrees, but when you walked into Gracie Mansion and NYC government buildings the temperature was in the 50s. I kid you not. (and yes, once it was shown that Mamdani and his people were rank hypocrites the temps changed. But the reality is that the grid in NYC and the entire area is so severely outdated that brown outs were expected.)

Funny how with socialists while everyone is equal there are some that are more equal than others.

Just so everyone knows upwards of 93% of US households have some form of air conditioning in their homes. That is because we are not a stupid people. We are not going to die of the heat any more than we are happy to die from the extreme cold in the winter. (Well if you are homeless in NYC you will die of the cold because the ridiculous mayor has decided that living on the streets is your choice and he doesn’t want to judge so he leaves them there to die in the cold.)

Americans are not Europeans. Our people ran the heck away from the entitled elitest bullshit that had run the European continent for millennia. Our ancestors were iconoclasts. Getting on rickety ships, crossing the Atlantic in steerage to try for a better life in the US. We basically said eff you to Europe and everything she stood for and decided to stake a claim to the New World.

Ok, some of us had no other choice (yes i know that). Immigrants would either starve like the Irish during the famine if they did not come here, or we were expelled like the Jews out of Russia and Poland. And yes, there were the Scandinavians who came here looking for better opportunities than the caste that pervaded all of Europe.

My ancestors ran from horrible antisemitic situations which made the life threatening trip easier to deal with than remaining in the little shtetls. Or in the case of the German Jews who came at the time of the revolution (the hubby’s side of the fmaily), Jews in most Germanic areas were constrained for how many Jewish households there could be in a town, so for any Jews to marry and start a family you would have to wait for someone to die or you had to leave. And many did leave.

These are the same reasons people still come to the US today. These are the same reasons people risk life and limb to come here. Not so someone can tell them they can’t have aircon, or how to basically live their lives. But to have the freedom to build a future.

I think the difference is that when our ancestors came to this country they wanted to be Americans with everything that that means. They assimilated. They learned English (even though one of my great-grandmothers never did, only speaking yiddish to the day she died.) They went to school. They accepted the US way of life and the American perspective on social interactions, laws, and requirements as paramount to anything they came from.

I am not saying that the majority of immigrants don’t want that today. The problem is that there are some, even a small percentage, who think that the US needs to change to suit their perspectives on life. They bring their old bigotries and feel we are the ones who need to change. They bring a supremacist ideology into our nation and tell us how we are supposed to deal with them. (Your religion doesn’t like dogs. Well too bad on you. I am bringing my dog wherever I want because this is America. And yes, if I have to choose between people and my dog, I choose my dog. Leave if you don’t like it.) And too many in the political echelons have decided that supporting American ideals needs to be put aside because they are afraid someone will call them racist, or an islamophobe.

(By the way “islamophobia” - a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons.)

These politicians have decided that it is more important to cozy up to islamo-nazi antisemites than to speak the truth. They embrace the lies about Israel, and in turn ignore the antisemitism of the progressive left because they want the votes of Dearbornistan and the children who can’t find the USA on a global map. The democratic establishment have decided it is ok to throw the entire Jewish American community under the bus because its “fuck the Jews, they’ll vote for us anyway,” time. And it seems that the morons who are the majority of the US Jewish community are saying ok.

I kid you not.

A poll came out last week, that 44% of Jews polled have a favorable view of the antisemitic genocide Mamdani you truly know that the Jew-hater’s belief that all Jews are intelligent has just been disproven. Only Jews would have a favorable view of someone who wants to slaughter half the worlds Jews. Of course they don’t think that the Islamo-Nazi left would ever put they and theirs in a cattle car, but then they are so stupid they are simply not paying attention. Or maybe they have family they would be happy to let these modern day Nazis kill off because they have the wrong politics, like thinking Jews have a right to selfdefense. They forget that eventually the judenrat ended up in the gas chambers, and the yevsektsiay were slaughtered by Stalin. (But they keep thinking this time it will be different. Putzim)

Meanwhile only 32% had a favorable view of Bibi. (I am not a fan of Bibi) There really is something wrong with the US Jewish community that someone who fights for Jewish survival is the bad guy. Or quite frankly that poll was bullshit. (I do not put much stock in polls.) There are 6 million Jews in the US, and they polled about 1000 people, most of whom it seems were not affiliated and have nothing to do with the Jewish American community. All they perhaps could say is that they had an ancestor that was a Jew so they could “As a Jew” their opinions.

Now, the poll according to the breakdown was 10% Orthodox, with the majority either reform or unaffiliated. Meaning, that not only has the reform movement betrayed their Jewish heritage, but the parents of those polled did not do a good job of parenting did they? How do you raise a Jewish child to have a good view of people who celebrated the October 7 massacre?

You don’t have to agree with every Israeli action in Gaza (now unless you are an expert in urban warfare to have an opinion actually is just hubris and shows immense stupidity), but to side with people who celebrated the gang rapes, burning families alive, general slaughter, and kidnappings that happened on that day is beyond repugnant. Quite frankly the only thing I can think of as a positive note is that within a generation these “Jews” and their offspring (if they have any) will no longer be part of the Jewish People. They can simply fuck off to whatever little Jew-hating club they are trying to get into and they can join the ranks of traitors.(sadly within Jewish history we have quite a few) Honestly, we are so much better off without them.

Believe me when I say there is something wrong with the reform movement in this country. When rabbis (not all, but it seems the vast majority) are afraid to teach Jewish history, heritage and Torah because so many of their congregants might feel bad, or they are simply afraid to say “no,” the reform movement has become an example of gentle parenting. And if you have ever come across a child in that dynamic you know that what you end up with is a little sociopathic narcissistic tyrant. Rabbis at one time were supposed to educate and to lead. Too bad so many have actually forgotten that the word “rabbi” actually means “teacher.”

Perhaps this inanity is why we were gifted the “majesty” of Rahm Emanuel last week in Tel Aviv saying there was no antisemitism problem in the democratic party and anything bad that happens to Jews is Bibi’s fault. The man is just useless. Living on the other side of the world, with no real skin in the game when it comes to Israel and her fight to survive (none of his children serve in the IDF), he decided to lecture Israelis about their future. What he was trying to do was to say to the democrats who hate Israel, vote for me for the party’s presidential nominee because I can hate on Israel in my own way and not blame you.

(I suspect Rahm thinks of himself as some kind of modern day prophet speaking truth to power in Israel. A modern day Jeremiah. Someone needs to tell Beinart that he has a rival for the most ridiculous person to have ever emerged from a Jewish womb.)

Rahm truly is simply a vile humanbeing. Listen, his animus toward’s Bibi goes back decades. Both their fathers were even part of the Irgun. I suspect the issues between them go much deeper than Bibi just being right about the JCPOA and not wiping Obama’s ass when he was told to. By the way, can anyone point to anything Rahm did as mayor of Chicago that made Chicago better or resolved any problems? I can’t. And this egocentric individual then wants to take his non-successful mayoralty to the Oval Office.

What I love the most is these idiots trying to say the rise in antisemitism is because of the things Israel had to do in order to survive in the last few years. Nothing was Hamas’ fault. Nothing is the Palestinians’ fault. Nothing is the Lebanese nor Iranian mullahs’ fault. Nothing is the Islamist, Qatari, or Saudi’s fault. Nothing is the European’s or Chinese or Russian’s fault. Every antisemitic incident is simply Israel’s fault because she refused to let her children be slaughtered. “Bad Jews, bad Jews.”

Meanwhile, we are also witness to the progressive meltdown because the guy with a nazi tattoo turned out to be a liar, supporter of Hamas, hater of America, called US veterans war criminals, an abusive creep, and alleged rapists. Now who could have seen that one coming? And yet, the democrats up until the last minute were tieing themselves into gordian knots to say this guy was the new Jesus and the abuse of his girlfriends didn’t fall under “MeToo” because this was part of a relationship issue. Ask Ro Khanna who said his redemption story is one for the ages, you would have thought Platner was in line for sainthood, or Bernie and Elizabeth Warren, both of them millionaires, who lauded Platner because he said the right things about “economic justice” while he had mommy, daddy and the government pay all his bills.

Well, I was told, the dems needed someone to beat Susan Collins, one of the most decent senators in Congress. So in order to counter her integrity and civility, the dems picked a guy with a Nazi tattoo. (seriously, WTF?) But the truth is, his campaign imploded not because of the allegations, the sexual assault was actually spoken about in a New York Times article long before it appeared in Politico. It was the latest poll that had Collins beating him already, and she usually under polls. The dems needed a reason to get him out of the race so they had Politico rerun the rape allegations. Yeah, I know, the backroom, men with stogies conspiracy theories. But in truth, the dems needed a reason to tell the world why they would not be putting money into his senatorial campaign. Now of course they are trying to find a progressive without any skeletons to run in Maine, and are incredibly not finding anyone. I have no idea what is wrong with Maine democrats, but they do need to fix themselves.(well or maybe what we are seeing is what the democratic party has become.)

Listen, summer is the time for relaxing, enjoying a slower pace of life. As Americans we get to sit comfortably in our homes without dieing from the heat, like they do in Europe. But it is also supposed to be a slow news period. A time when things are quieter, and the world turns a little slower. Yeah sure… Except it is winter in the southern hemisphere, so maybe the powers that be have decided to follow that seasonal reality for awhile.

The war with Iran is back on, and the mullahs have threatened to kill Trump. In fact it was deemed such a realistic threat, that he took his old Air force One. which is actually properly equipped, back to DC from Ankara. The new shiny Qatari Air Force One just didn’t have the right equipment. Whodathunkit….

Speaking of the NATO submit, the psycho behind the resolute desk has promised the Islamo-nazis in Turkey the US’ most sophisticated airplane, the F35. You know Turkey who actually committed a genocide against the Armenians, the Azerbaijanis, the Greeks and still illegally occupies parts of Cyprus, calls to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, and wants to reconstitute the Ottoman Empire, who also sides with Iran against the US and is playing footsie with Putin. Yeah that Turkey is going to get access to our most advanced military tech. Makes so much sense…

Speaking of Russia, they head the Gaza development committee, and have said that Hamas has dissolved its government and is going to disarm. Because nothing says giving up power like slaughtering those who are protesting against you as Hamas has been doing, and using hospitals as torture centers…and let’s not forget Russia is continuing their actual genocide in Ukraine…so they of course are the chosen ones to follow up on the humanitarian efforts in Gaza…

Oh yeah, did you hear about the 350 christians (men, women, and children) just burned to death in a church last Sunday by islamists in Niger? No? Ask yourself why not….
