Holocaust Revisited

 

It’s 2023, and, incredibly, the Nazis are winning again. Sad, but true.

Pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas rallies are occurring all over the West, including right here in Canada and the United States. And, unlike Freedom Convoy and MAGA rallies, most of the aforementioned are occurring without official interference or condemnation from local authorities. In fact, in New York, the local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) took to Times Square to celebrate Palestinian resistance.

Students on college campuses across the fruited plain are rallying—in some cases borderline rioting—in support of the bloodthirsty medieval rapists and baby-killers from Gaza. Hate speech?! “Offensive” doesn’t begin to describe this. Neither does “despicable,” “insane,” or “repulsive.” But what do we expect from our bastions of “higher education” since they have been entirely taken over by regressive Marxists? Young people support the terrorists at a much higher rate than do older folks, largely as a result of the radicalism with which they have been indoctrinated.

Harvard has a long and heinous history of anti-Semitism. It capped how many Jewish students it allowed to enroll long ago. The other Ivy League schools aren’t much better. Nor are most of the other universities around the country, save Hillsdale and perhaps one or two others.

The U.N., which should stand for Ultra-Nihilists, has long been a festering hive of anti-Semitism and Israel-hatred. The august international body is far more concerned with a potential future climate genocide than with an ongoing Holocaust of Jews. Smells like 1938.

As far-fetched as it may seem, reports indicate that pro-Hamas types have even infiltrated the American government, and I’m not referring to “The Squad.” More than one member of the Biden administration is apparently sympathetic to the Palestinian “cause.” There is conflict amongst them on how to proceed.

And then there is the media. The same media that incessantly touts corrupt Ukraine’s fight for “democracy,” never mentions Israel and “democracy” in the same breath, despite the fact that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle east and is trying to stand up to Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, et. al.—while being 1/29^th the size of Ukraine. The American media too often blithely repeats whatever terrorist groups say, sans verification, something they would never do when their source was a member of, say, the Trump administration, a Catholic group, or the NRA. The morons in the media often stress that Israeli retaliation kills civilians, without noting that Hamas-- deliberately, strategically, incessantly—uses civilians as shields and even has its “military headquarters” underneath a hospitable for precisely that reason. Hamas kills more civilians than Israel does. And, unlike Israel, with Hamas it’s preplanned, deliberate. The media often mentions that Israel may cut off electricity and water to Gaza, omitting the fact that Israel does not need to supply Gaza with these precious resources, but does so anyway. For free. Nor do they note the obvious fact that if Hamas didn’t spend billions of dollars on terrorism, it would be able to build its own infrastructure to support itself and its fellow Palestinians.

In many parts of the West, Jews live again in fear. Anti-Semitic graffiti has been placed on buildings in places like Beverly Hills. Even more chillingly, homes in Berlin have been marked with the Star of David. Shamefully, in some cases, authorities are telling Jews to stay inside. Hide.

I have noticed that many self-professed “tolerant” progressives seem less bothered by this existential assault on Jews than they are by someone committing a “misgendering” faux pas. Maybe they can update their yard signs. “Hate has no home here. And neither do the Jews.” “From the river to the sea, make the Jews cease to be. Black lives matter!”

Churchill, in “the Wilderness Years,” warned the civilized West of the atrocities to come if Hitler was continually appeased. Not many listened. (Hence, “the Wilderness Years.”) Some, like Mark Steyn, have sounded the alarm in more modern times. Not many have listened. Which may be why Churchill said, “Unteachable from infancy to tomb. There is the first and main characteristic of mankind.”

Hitler’s Germany seized Austria in March of 1938. In September of that year, Britain and France acceded to Hitler’s demands and signed the Munich Agreement. Britain’s Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, returned home proclaiming ”peace in our time.” Hitler than promptly took the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. “Peace in our time” did not work out well, especially for the Jews. (It always starts with the Jews. But it soon includes all but the select few, whether Aryans or Muslims, white or Black, gay or straight, etc.)

On November 9^th, 1938, in a sadistic one-night spree, Nazis burned synagogues, destroyed Jewish shops, and killed Jews at random. The night became known as “Kristillnacht,” the Night of the Broken Glass. The incident portended a very dark fate for the Jews trapped in Europe. World War II began on September 1^st, 1939.

On October 7th, 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel and killed what would be the per-capita equivalent of more than 50,000 Americans. Perhaps that day should be henceforth known as “Schlachtentag,” the Day of Slaughter.

Once again, Jews are being targeted. Once again, the world is tense.

It’s as though we’ve gone back in time.

Seems like August, 1939.

Canada To Expand Its Medical Assistance In Dying Program!

 

It appears that Canada will soon be updating—and broadening—its medical assistance in dying (MAID) law. The law, first put into effect in 2016, “allows” people to be euthanized if they have a “grievous and irremediable medical condition,” such as a serious illness or disability, that has put them in an advanced state of irreversible decline. There has been much talk in recent years in The Great White North of making those with mental illness “eligible” for MAID. But, come March, the law will apparently be expanded to include not just the simply mentally ill, but those who are addicted to drugs. That’s right, according to the aptly named VICE, substance abusers will soon have access to medically assisted dying in Trudeau’s utopia! In the U.S., we only give them free crack pipes and syringes.

Makes sense, though. While we’re embarking on a new Holocaust, let’s exterminate all the alcoholics, too! I mean, if you’ve already okayed offing the mentally ill (who makes that decision) and the physically infirm, why not get rid of the druggies, too? There has also been much discussion about extending the MAID offer to the chronically depressed. And, while we’re at it, why not ixnay those with birth defects or insufficiently blonde hair? Let’s be humane to those with cleft palates or small penises, too. No reason they should suffer the indignity and the shame that would surely be put on them.

Think of the suffering we could prevent! What liberal/progressive/Antifascist wouldn’t be proud of that?! The New Aryans in our governments could really clean up the place! Maybe we could even make this part of The Green New Deal and The Great Reset!

It might even prove to be The Final Solution! Right?

 

CDC's National Tobacco Youth Survey Strays From Questions About Tobacco

 

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s newest annual  National Tobacco Youth Survey of middle and high school students includes questions pertaining to more than just tobacco use. The survey purportedly seeks to provide information about what "pro- and anti-tobacco influences" the children have in their lives and how they influence their own attitudes and behaviors toward tobacco. But, this year, there’s an added twist: questions regarding the kids’ gender identity and sexual orientation. Because of course.

According to Just the News, the government agency attempts to justify the intrusive, non-tobacco-related queries it started adding in recent years by claiming that "transgender youth have a disproportionate burden of tobacco use related behaviors." (Really? Stunning. Ironically, “burden” makes it sound like they have no free will and have somehow had tobacco use imposed upon them.)

Perhaps the CDC survey questions look something like this:

                              ************

      1) Do you smoke tobacco (whether in cigarettes, cigars, or a pipe?) ☹

      2) Do you smoke marijuana in any form? ☺

      3) Do you use chewing tobacco? ☹

      4) Do you take it up the butt enjoy anal sex? ☺

      5) Are you polyamorous-- or at least a polyamorous ally? ☺

      6) Do you frequent “glory holes?” ☺

      7) Have you ever been in a Turkish prison? Did you like it? ☺

      8) Are you fully vaccinated against COVID-19? ☺

We at the CDC do not pass judgement in any way. Your answers will be kept in the strictest confidence and only shared with other government agencies.

Home schooling looks better all the time.

 

 

American Devolution

 

The Biden administration has continued to further Barack Obama’s promise to “fundamentally transform America.” From its outset it has been doggedly determined to radically alter the demography and character of the United States by stopping construction of the border wall and neutering immigration law. It has allowed anyone and everyone to enter the U.S. by simply walking across the country’s southern border. Mexicans, Hondurans, Chinese, Middle Easterners, drug cartels, terrorists…all are welcome, no questions asked, and many receive cash and prizes for doing so. Largess that American citizens pay for but don’t receive.

More than seven million folks have illegally entered the U.S. across (what used to be) its southern border. Biden has virtually ignored the sex-trafficking. Moreover, he has cast a blind eye towards the Mexican cartels who “import” enough fentanyl to kill roughly 100,000 Americans every year.

In essence, the United States has managed to lose the Mexican-American War-- 180 years after winning it. By doing so, it has also lost the War on Drugs, half a century after first engaging in it. The U.S. has lost several wars lately, even to goatherders with fertilizer. For no reason other than lack of will. And in doing so, it has tragically and unforgivably besmirched the memory of those who originally fought them. Worse, it has made their sacrifice for nought. Inexcusable doesn’t begin to describe that.

America is now on the precipice of losing everything for which its founder fought. Limited government of, by, and for the people, equal justice under the rule of law, freedom of speech and assembly, the right to defend oneself and one’s family (the right to bear arms), etc. etc.

Its people better soon channel their inner founder and summon the will to take back their government-- and defend their nation’s borders—or it will be too late. And the American Revolution will end with American devolution.

                                                   

 

 

Dumb And Dumber-- Paying For Our Own Destruction

 

We have spent our way into a $33 trillion debt. And that doesn’t include unfunded mandates, etc. No country has ever previously survived such a massive-- apparently permanent—debt.

We have spent countless billions of dollars to provide loans for students to attend college, dramatically driving up the cost of attending these institutions, even as they turn kids against their parents and their country. And now the Biden administration is “forgiving” many of these loans; though, unless university employees have decided to work for free, someone will have to pay for them…now or later.

We have spent trillions of dollars to combat poverty, via the “Great Society” program and others. The poverty rate is no different now than it was before, our society arguably less “great.” What we do have is a greater number of homeless people, higher rates of crime, and a burgeoning sense of angst.

The U.S. government also spent trillions—there’s that word again—on COVID-19 stimulus payments, much of which was misdirected, misappropriated, or misspent.  

And Democrats want to embark on The Green New Deal, which would likely destroy the economy and fatally bankrupt the nation, all while doing next to nothing to counteract “global warming” or “climate change.”

Uncle Sam is paying to fly illegal aliens around the country and put them up in fine hotels-- or set them up in apartments and homes, replete with a starter allowance for furnishing them.

The Biden administration left billions and billions of dollars worth of top-shelf military equipment in Afghanistan, to the amazement and delight of the Taliban. Some of which has apparently now been funneled to the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah. It has deliberately devastated our domestic energy sector and drained down our strategic oil reserve at a time when multiple conflicts rock the world. Incredibly, we now go begging for oil from the hated Russians (who are at war with Ukraine)-- and Saudi Arabia-- when we were energy independent just three short years ago.

And, as if all that were not enough, we have removed sanctions from Iran and agreed to hand them more than $6 billion…which they will almost certainly spend on their nuclear program and/or send to their terrorist proxies such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Who will then use this largess to fund further attacks on our Israeli ally……or ourselves.

So, in a very real—indeed literal—sense, our progressive elites are paying for our own destruction. The rest of us are allowing this to happen.

It doesn’t get any dumber than that.

 

Nearly Half Of Biden Voters Want The Government To Regulate Speech

 

According to recent polling by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, nearly half of President Joe Biden’s supporters believe the government should clamp down on objectionable speech.

That’s right, among individuals intending to vote for Biden in 2024, 47% think “the government should regulate or restrict the expression of views considered discriminatory or offensive.” Considered “discriminatory or offensive” by whom, exactly? Sadly, the results weren’t a whole lot different for supporters of Donald trump, 35% of whom purport to believe the government should exercise this control. Fools, all.

Come to think of it, I find the poll and this report offensive, so I want government to regulate them. Moreover, if every—[the government has redacted the author’s wording from here on to the end of his post, as it was deemed offensive by some. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.]

                         

   

Some Overseas U.S. Military Members To Have Pay Cut Again

 

Some members of the U.S. military, especially those serving at some of the most expensive duty assignments, are set to receive a cut in monthly allowance designed to offset the high costs of living. According to a report from Military.com, the Defense Department will make a second round of cuts to troops' overseas cost-of-living allowances (OCOLA) next month, with the final cut coming on Nov. 15 and affecting members' Dec. 1 paychecks.

It seems a bit odd-- unfair even-- that those who are already sacrificing to protect their country are being asked to take multiple cuts in pay by the very nation that they are serving. All the more so since, despite Bidenflation, so many others are getting freebies. Students are having their government loans forgiven, addicts are receiving free crack pipes and other accoutrement…and illegal aliens are getting cash and services thrown at them as if out of an industrial-strength Pez dispenser run amok.

The state of Illinois, for example, is providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over a 6-month period, including assistance with moving in and a starter kit to furnish the apartment. The Prairie State is funding temporary housing for “migrants,” including rented apartments and homes. Moreover, the city of Chicago has allocated an additional $4 million to assist migrants in obtaining temporary housing, to add to the $38 million contributed by the state.

Perhaps if our military members serving overseas who’ve had their pay cut went AWOL and came across our southern border in the guise of illegal immigrants, the Biden administration might fly them to the Land of Lincoln and set them up in a nice abode, partially furnished.

Semper Fi?

I guess that only goes one way.

GB News, BBC Beclown Themselves

 

GB News, Great Britain’s ostensibly (if mildly) conservative counterpart to the BBC, is rapidly making itself a laughingstock of MSNBC proportions. First, the great Mark Steyn was effectively forced from the media outlet when it attempted to push Steyn into accepting a contract making Steyn legally accountable for anything he or his guests might utter that British regulators within the Orwellian Office of Communication (OfComm) might deem to be hate speech or wrong-think. Steyn has taken legal action against OfComm after it confirmed a previous episode breached “the code.” (The media watchdog took issue with an episode which aired on October 4 2022, and featured an interview between the “Niche Canadian” and Dr. Naomi Wolf, who made “serious claims” about the Covid-19 vaccine-- which, as we all know, is strictly verboten.)

More recently, former BBC Chief Political Correspondent John Sergeant appeared on GB News to defend the BBC’s appalling decision to not label Hamas a terrorist organization. And what, precisely, does the “Beeb” intend to call the bloodthirsty Hamas terrorists? “Legitimately perturbed Palestinian nationalists?”   “Mostly peaceful Mohammedan migrants?”

GB News is to journalism as The View is to, well…journalism.

 

RNC To Have NBC Host Next Presidential Primary Debate-- Say What?!

 

The ever feckless Republican National Committee (RNC) recently announced it is going to have NBC News host its next presidential primary debate. This seems an odd choice, if only because NBC News hates Republicans. The news organization detests President Trump, Trump voters, patriotic Americans, capitalism, traditional values, borders, the Constitution of the United States of America, straight white males, Christianity, Israel, pro-lifers, Fox News, the Second Amendment, Mike Lindell, Lee Greenwood, “anti-vaxxers,” Joe Rogan, Aaron Rodgers, fossil fuels…and those of us that reside in Middle America in general. In fact, MSDNC MSNBC lost nearly a third of its viewership in recent days due to its preposterously anti-Israel coverage of the aftermath of the massive and bloodthirsty surprise attack on the Jewish state by the Hamas terrorist group.

The Fox Business Channel’s Republican debate of September 27 was an embarrassing exercise in meaningless gotcha “journalism,” so what does the RINOC RNC think the MSNBC debate will be like?!

Couldn’t the RNC get Al Jazeera or the (North) Korean Central News Agency to host the debate? Was China’s Xinhua News Agency unavailable?

There is a perplexing and repulsive masochistic streak in the mainstream of the Republican Party. The propensity to act in self-defeating ways may go over well with Thurston Howell Republicans, but it frustrates and angers those of us who actually care about the country.

Some in the Romney-Cheney-Ryan wing of the party claim to be embarrassed by MAGA types. But the truth is, they have far more to be embarrassed about. It is indeed time to Make America Great Again. We can start by putting RINOs on the endangered species list…by voting them out of office.

 

 

Republicans To Dispense With "Pro-Life" In Favor Of "Pro-Baby"

 

According to reports, the head of a super PAC closely aligned with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), recently presented poll results that suggested voters are reacting differently to the terms “pro-life” and “pro-choice” in the wake of last year’s Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. In a September 7 interview, Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) stated: “What intrigued me the most about the results was that ‘pro-choice’ and ‘pro-life’ mean something different now, that people see being pro-life as being against all abortions ... at all levels.”

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said the polling made it clear to him that more specificity is needed in talking about abortion. Hawley said, “Many voters think [‘pro-life’] means you’re for no exceptions in favor of abortion ever, ever, and ‘pro-choice’ now can mean any number of things. So the conversation was mostly oriented around how voters think of those labels, that they’ve shifted. So if you’re going to talk about the issue, you need to be specific.”

The polling was recently made available to senators by former McConnell aide Steven Law-- and showed that “pro-life” no longer resonated with voters. This has already caused some Republicans to conclude that a new term is needed, especially in light of the GOP’s recent repeated Election Day losses when “reproductive rights” were on the ballot.

Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) said that GOP members recently attended a meeting in which they discussed “pro-baby policies,” a descriptor Young himself suggested. Young noted that “pro-baby” was “just a term of my creation to demonstrate my concern for babies.”

So “pro-life” is no longer resonating with Americans? That may be the saddest statement I’ve ever heard. We’ve reached a point where “Black Lives Matter” is sacrosanct, but “All Lives Matter” and “Pro-Life” are considered sketchy at best? Unbelievable. What the hell has happened to America…and Americans?

How long will it take those of a bent mind leftist mindset to trash the term “pro-baby,” Sen. Young? My bet is: not very. How is “pro-baby” better, more inclusive, or less offensive than “pro-life?”

Pro-life, pro-America, pro-God, pro-family, pro-competence, pro-cop, pro-founders, and pro Second Amendment are all considered “problematic” or even “offensive” by many on the left?!

In truth this means they are not only effectively “anti” all these things, but anti-inclusive, anti-hope, and anti-future.

 

 

 

 

Reality: A Concept That Some Can Grasp And Some Cannot

 

It is an ever weirder, wackier, and less free world in which we live. Most of us realize this. But, in case you’ve been channeling your inner Joe Biden and have been on vacation and/or in your basement and out of touch for lengthy periods of time, here are some recent examples to prove the point.

In a recent @bbcideas post on “X,” a green-haired, blue-lipped trans person claimed that the universe has no fundamental nature in and of itself, and that everything-- even purportedly objective things like science—is/are really nothing more than expressions of power.

The person made the preposterous assertion that “Quantum physics reveals that there is no fixed reality” and that it is “full of beautiful contradictions.” He/she/they added that, since “reality is itself a construct” that has “no real, fixed foundation,” quantum physics actually supports Queer Theory’s assertion that males and females aren’t real. Ergo, the universe itself is queer!

Speaking of the formerly Great Britain, UK property owners who fail to comply with new energy efficiency rules could face prison time under proposed government plans. Some ministers want to grant themselves powers to create new criminal offenses and increase civil penalties as part of an effort to hit net zero carbon emission targets. Under the proposals, opposed by many Tory MPs, people who fail to comply with the proposed stringent new rules to reduce their energy consumption could be imprisoned for up to a year-- and be subject to fines of up to £15,000.

And, back in the states, New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently told those attending an Upper West Side Town Hall meeting: "Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don't see an ending to this. I don't see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City. We're getting 10,000 migrants a month.” The Big Apple has been grappling with the influx of over 110,000 migrants just since last year, and its mayor seems unable to deal with the challenges that has posed. So much so that he added, “The city we knew we're about to lose.”

 

The mayor of a “sanctuary city” now says that the reality is that illegal immigrants will “destroy” it?

What a beautiful contradiction.

It’s a queer world, indeed.

 

Portland's 911 System Overwhelmed

 

How bad are things in ultra-liberal Portland? This bad: Rene Gonzalez, Portland’s commissioner of public safety, recently implored the city’s residents to refrain from calling 911 except for immediate “life/death” situations. Well, and maybe not even then. The commissioner also requested that citizens not call 911 if there is no chance of apprehending the suspect in any case.

Gonzalez took to X, formerly Twitter, to post: “Our 911 system is getting hammered this morning with a multiple person incident — multiple overdoses in northwest park blocks. Please do not call 911 except in event of life/death emergency or crime in progress (or chance of apprehending suspect). For non-emergency please use 503-823-3333.”

In addition to slashing the size of its police force, Portland has decriminalized possession and use of hard drugs, which—surprise!—has led to an increase in the number of overdose cases…and deaths, especially among the homeless. In response, Oregon lawmakers are attempting to make Narcan, an over-the-counter drug used to treat opioid overdoses, more widely available to the public. Better than trying to address the root of the problem!

But, hey, there are labor shortages everywhere, so cut Portland some slack.

If you do happen to witness—or experience-- a life-threatening emergency while in P-town, and you believe there’s a chance the perpetrator could be apprehended despite the general dearth of law enforcement, by all means go ahead and call 911. Just don’t be surprised if you receive one of the following messages:

“Please hold for the next available crisis manager…”

“Your call is very important to us…and is expected to be answered within 20 minutes.”

              “We’re sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed.”

              “If you’d like to make a call, please hang up and dial again.”

              “Please enter your physical address, email address, social security number, date of birth, voting preference, annual income, and the nature of your emergency…followed by the pound sign…”

              “We are currently experiencing greater than normal call volume…”

College Says Praise Of Hamas Part Of The "Free Exchange Of Diverse Ideas And Perspectives"

 

Campus Reform recently reported that the Swarthmore chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) called the Hamas terrorists who butchered thousands of innocent Israelis (and others, including Americans) “martyrs” and affirmed the “right of Palestinian people to resist.” 

Which reportedly prompted Swarthmore College President Val Smith to issue a statement in which she called the students’ praise of Hamas terror actions examples of the “free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives” that “we embrace” as a “liberal arts institution.” (Which renders ridiculous Smith’s claim that “hateful rhetoric and calls for violence have no place at Swarthmore.”)

One post on ‘X’ noted: “Val Smith, president of @swarthmore, calls SJP celebrating the beheading of Israeli babies ‘free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives’ and refuses to address the organization’s abhorrent post or antisemitism by name.”

Branding terrorism and the mass murder of innocents nothing but the “free exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives” that a “liberal arts institution” should “embrace” boggles the mind……and sickens the soul.

By that ”perspective,” the Saudis that flew planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon were just engaging in the free exchange of diverse ideas. (As were Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. And Charles Manson.) Isn’t diversity grand?! Who’s not pro-diversity? And those terrorists were inclusive and equitable in their attacks, too, rendering nearly 3,000 souls of every color, sex, creed, and class equally dead. Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity, baby! D.I.E.!

If we’ve “progressed” so far that slaughtering innocent people is now simply considered to be illustrative of a different perspective, surely Swarthmore College and its SJP warmly welcomes conservatives and MAGA types to campus to share their diverse perspectives? Right?

Right?

 

Biden Administration To Make Americans Repay Assistance In Leaving Israel?

 

Incredibly, reports such as one from The Gateway Pundit, indicate that the U.S. State Department’s Consular Affairs Crisis Management System (CACMS) is demanding that U.S. citizens wishing to flee war-torn Israel sign promissory notes as a precondition for any assistance in evacuating from the volatile region.

An email sent to Americans stranded in the tiny Middle Eastern nation stated that the U.S. government would offer loans for transportation with a promise of repayment.

According to The Gateway Pundit, the email read:

The situation in Israel is still unpredictable; mortar and rocket fire may take place without warning. Please continue to follow the instructions of security and emergency response officials. Commercial flights are available but limited. If you wish to leave Israel, we encourage you to take advantage of those options now. U.S. carriers have temporarily suspended flights to Israel, if you choose to depart, you will need to fly to an intermediate location and book onward travel from there to the United States.

We understand there is high demand from U.S. citizens wishing to depart and the flight options are reduced. In the coming days we hope to assist U.S. citizens with transportation options to depart Israel. Due to the large numbers of U.S. citizens indicating interest in departure assistance, we will plan to offer transit over several days. If you choose to take this departure assistance, transportation may be by air or sea and will be to a nearby safe location and not to the United States. Travelers should be prepared to arrange their own lodging at the safe location and pay for their own onward travel from the third country to their chosen destination. Departure assistance is provided via a loan from the U.S. government which requires travelers to sign a promissory note (an agreement to repay) prior to departure.

 

Yitz Friedman, communications manager at the American Accountability Foundation (and trapped in Israel at the time), authored a post on ‘X’ stating: “Is this what it means to be an American abroad? Almost all American airlines received taxpayer bailouts, and they were the first to abandon us. They were the first to cancel all flights.”

 

The Biden administration is making a habit of leaving Americans stranded. In Afghanistan. And now in Israel. (One could add other places, as well, perhaps ironically—and eerily—including East Palestine, Ohio.)

 

It’s bad enough that U.S. airlines bailed. But Uncle Sam making citizens legally pledge to pay back any financial assistance before agreeing to help get them out seems beyond the pale. So, if you are stuck in Israel, go ahead and try to arrange travel to a “third country” and lodging (Americinn?) for your stay. Then pay for your “onward travel” to a destination of your choice, maybe even the United States. Your government might even help you, providing your good for it.

 

Now I’m not big on government spending, but, as Biden would say, “C’mon, man!” The Biden administrations flies illegal immigrants all over the country gratis. And puts them up in nice hotels. And gives them various and sundry other freebies. It excuses student debt. It handed out “free” COVID money. And crack pipes to addicts. It has given countless billions of dollars to Ukraine…and countless billions of dollars worth of military equipment to the Taliban…some of which may have been used against Israel in the recent Hamas attacks which led to Americans needing to vacate the Promised land in the first place. And Biden insisted on giving $6 billion to Iran, the state sponsor of Hamas! You can’t make this stuff up.

 

Therefore, one would logically expect the government to do its citizens a solid, as they say.

 

So, come on, Uncle Sam, bring your people home. And worry about the greenbacks later.

California To Institute Missing Child Alert System Specifically For Black Youth

 

NBC News has reported that California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed Senate Bill 673 into law, thus making the erstwhile Golden State the first to create a missing child alert system specifically for Black children.

NBC: “The law, which will go into effect on Jan. 1, will allow the California Highway Patrol to activate the alert upon request from local law enforcement when a Black youth goes missing in the area. The Ebony Alert will utilize electronic highway signs and encourage use of radio, TV, social media and other systems to spread information about the missing persons’ alert. The Ebony Alert will be used for missing Black people aged 12 to 25.”

Fantastic. But what about missing Black people under 12 or over 25? Perhaps there needs to be a separate alert for each of those groups. Twenty-one to twenty-five-year-olds don’t seem like “youth” to me, yet those under 12 certainly are.

And what about, say, Yellow folks between the ages of 6 and 17? Indigenous people between 4 and 21? Or non-binary Mulatto agnostic Capricorns from 12 to 18 years of age? Surely they are an underappreciated and marginalized group that is probably also disproportionately represented amongst the ranks of the missing? Do Newsome and California not care about any of these groups?

Amber alerts or red alerts, whatever you want to call them, should be for everybody, whatever their race, gender, age, creed, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious belief, or Zodiac sign.  That should be Black and white, no?

Automobile Manufacturers Now Collecting Vast Quantities Of Personal Data

 

According to a new report published by the Mozilla Foundation, an American non-profit organization, automobile manufacturers are collecting vast quantities of data on drivers and passengers, with some even tracking drivers'—and passengers’-- sexual activity.

Mozilla reviewed 25 automotive brands amongst 15 car companies. The results could be shocking to many. German manufacturer Volkswagen said it could record drivers’ voices to profile them for targeted ads. More than half of the brands said they can share data with government and law enforcement when requested, without receiving a court order. Moreover, the report stated that Subaru insisted the very fact of being a passenger in one of its cars implies consent to its privacy policy!

Japanese car manufacturer Nissan even said it could sell information about drivers and passengers’ sexual activity, intelligence and health diagnosis to data brokers, law enforcement agencies-- and other companies.

Jen Caltrider, lead researcher at Mozilla Foundation (incidentally, the nonprofit owner of the company running the Firefox Browser), said: “The amount of data that these car companies blatantly said that they could collect was shocking. It's like nobody's ever challenged them or asked them questions about privacy, and so they just include everything.” (The same could be said about government.)

 It’s a good thing the technology that allows corporations and governments to thoroughly spy on us through our vehicles didn’t exist in the days of the drive-in-theater.

And it’s too bad it does now.

America, and cars, both used to symbolize freedom and independence.

Those days are fading away, now…like the taillights of a Mustang or Camaro heading down Route 66 after dark.

 

 

 

 

U.S. Government To Deploy Surveillance Software To Detect "Problematic Sentiment And Emotion"

 

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has purportedly partnered with AI tech firm Fivecast to deploy social media surveillance software that, according to its proprietor, can detect “problematic” emotions of social media users and subsequently report them to law enforcement for further action.

According to a post on pjmedia.com, “Outlet 404, through FOIA requests, uncovered various Fivecast marketing documents elaborating on its software’s utility for law enforcement.”

404’s report on said documents stated: “Customs and Border Protection (CBP), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has bought millions of dollars worth of software from a company that uses artificial intelligence to detect ‘sentiment and emotion’ in online posts…”

CBP also allegedly told 404 Media that it is “using technology to analyze open-source information related to inbound and outbound travelers who the agency believes may threaten public safety, national security, or lawful trade and travel. In this case, the specific company called Fivecast also offers ‘AI-enabled’ object recognition in images and video, and detection of ‘risk terms and phrases’ across multiple languages.

 

Who isn’t in favor of protecting national security? And Lord knows the Biden administration should do more something to vet and restrict “inbound travelers” at our southern border. And yet…one is tempted to ask: What could go wrong? If the government is going to utilize surveillance software to more precisely ascertain our sentiments and emotions on social media, and then determine if they are “problematic,” how else will it use it? What other methods will it deploy to keep us from stepping out of line. And who determines what is “problematic,” anyway? (Okay, that’s an easy one. The elites that seek to utterly control us see as problematic any sentiment, emotion, or thought that could possibly be construed as insufficiently in support of their agenda.)

 

This should be terrifying to any sentient person who values individuality, independence, and freedom.

 

What can we do about this? The answer is simple: refuse to be a subject. No matter what.

 

I want my social media posts to be clear. To that end, the powers that be shouldn’t have any trouble detecting the emotion in this phrase: “You have no effing right to treat the Constitution—and the people it was designed to protect—as an infant treats a diaper.” Nor should Fivecast have any difficulty discerning the sentiment in this one: “Sic semper tyrannis!”  

Americans, let’s summon the spirit—and the courage—behind the Gadsden Flag. Let us all address the government. Say it with me now: “Don’t…Tread…On…Me!”

 

"Gas The Jews" Not "Hate Speech?"

 

Muslims and anti-Semites around the world have gathered in recent days to celebrate the mass slaughter of Jews in Israel by Hamas terrorists. Several cities in Europe, including London and Berlin, have been the sight of these unspeakably appalling—if joyous—gatherings. Various cities in North America, such as Montreal and New York, have also been witness to such madness and depravity. BLM has thrown its support behind the Palestinian cause, as have, unsurprisingly, many campus groups across America.

In Australia, thousands of “Australians” gathered outside the Sydney Opera House, to lose themselves in such zesty chants as "F**k the Jews!" and "Gas the Jews!" One person was arrested…for “breaching the peace” of the wannabe Jew-gassers by having the audacity to possess an Israeli flag. Good on the local Constabulary for dealing with him!

But might not “F**K the Jews” be considered hate speech in this day and age? I mean, nearly all locales across the former penal colony have laws regulating hate speech as regards race and religion. If “Gas the Jews” doesn’t qualify, what would?

“Misgender” the Jews?

Crazed Hamas terrorists killed more than 250 mostly Israeli youths who were attending what many dubbed a “musical festival for peace.” They slaughtered or took hostage—or both—women, children, and the elderly. They reportedly beheaded dozens of babies. Thousands of Israelis were killed or injured, more than in any one day since the concentration camps of the 1940s were in existence. It is a new Holocaust.

Any individual or group “celebrating” this genocide-in-progress is beyond repulsive, beyond redemption.

Speaking of the difference between Western nations and terrorists, Benjamin Netanyahu once observed: “”Here’s the difference between us. We’re using missile defense to protect our civilians and they're using their civilians to protect their missiles.”

In fact, Hamas has located its military headquarters under a hospital.

And there’s no cure for that kind of sickness.
