Is it antisemitic to say a person looks Jewish?

I ask because I saw a remarkable video about antisemitic protests in New York.

The answer to the question is “no.” It is not antisemitic to say a person looks Jewish, any more than it is wrong to say a person looks Far Eastern or white.

Google photos of Barbra Streisand and deceased New York mayor Ed Koch. Case closed.

Yesterday, I saw an amazing thing. There was a protest at NYU, in New York City. This, incidentally, is a backup school for kids who can’t get into Columbia.

Someone interviewed a couple of girls who were visiting from Columbia. They were very gung ho about protesting Israel. One girl wore a mask to hide her identity and insulate her from repercussions from her shameful, idiotic behavior. The other showed her face. No question about it. She is Jewish.

The person with the camera asked them about their objections to what was happening in Gaza, and they admitted they didn’t know much of anything about the situation! But there they were, protesting and fanning the flames of antisemitism. One said she wished she were better educated. I wish that for her, too.

In various places on the web, I have been asserting without proof that Jews were out there protesting Israel along with the other antisemites, and now you see why I was bold enough to do that. If the Jewish people were one person, he would have been on suicide and self-harm watch since leaving Egypt. The Jews have a long history of helping their enemies and fighting their friends. I knew some of them would support Hamas. Questioning it would have been asinine.

Dathan has more children than Moses.

Why do I say “the other antisemites”? Because Jews who join the protests are antisemites. Jews can be antisemites if they want.

In related news, a black man named Khymani James, who claims to be some other flavor of sexual being (unclear) is getting attention for calling for Zionists (like me and, for that matter, God) to be murdered.

James is a typical Columbia student. He gets attention by saying stupid things that impress leftists who have no brains. He has said, “Zionists don’t deserve to live.” Defending his remarks later, he said, “I feel very comfortable, very comfortable, calling for those people to die.” He supports the murder of Benjamin Netanyahu.

He also says he carries a gun, even though there is no way he has a permit.

Far as anyone can tell, this dangerous nut is still a student in good standing. Columbia will not reveal what, if any, discipline he has faced. They made me leave for a year for shooting harmless bottle rockets out of a window, so now you have a basis to form ideas about their priorities.

Finally, in today’s list of horrors, a genocidal crank at George Washington University in DC was spotted carrying the Palestinian flag and a sign calling for the “final solution.” This phrase, for all you kids who were educated by false-breast-wearing men and Tiktok, refers to the murder of every single Jew on Earth. This is the “solution,” and Jews are the problem.

Their EXISTENCE, not their behavior, is the problem that must be fixed, according to the guy with the sign.

The man with the sign was not attacked or driven off, as far as I can tell from the news. That means he’s better off than Jews who have been attacked by racist protesters like the Jewish girl at NYU, and he’s also better off than the Jew in London who was told by racist police to leave a rage-filled protest because he was disturbing the peace.

I wonder what peace the police were referring to.

People who don’t know the Holy Spirit have no idea what’s going on. It has never been about coexistence. Ever since the human race was contaminated by servants of Satan, it has been about exterminating the people who belong to Yahweh. People, including many Jews, think the turmoil will end if there is enough appeasement. Give the savages this piece of land and that piece of land. They’ll be satisfied. That’s not how it works. The other side’s goal is to end Jewish existence, and they also want to remove Christians from the world.

Jews love to appease. They keep giving things away. They even gave the Egyptians the entire Sinai peninsula, which contains oil wells, after the Egyptians lost it in a racist war of aggression.

American Jews are the worst appeasers, because they are terrible virtue-signalers, and because they don’t have to deal with terrorism every day, the way Israelis do. They think their grandchildren will live in big houses in New Jersey and Miami, holding hands and singing Joni Mitchell songs with the friendly gentiles they have pacified. They think October 7 was just a speed bump. A temporary disturbance that will be put behind them, just like the 1948 war.

What’s happening now will wake some, but not most, of them up. Suddenly, the threat of terrorism and genocide isn’t a far-off thing that only happens to crazy zealots who leave rich America and Europe to live in a shaky country where they make you serve in the army and you can’t get a decent bagel. Now you have to ask yourself if you want to wear your yarmulke when you go out for lunch. Is it worth risking a beating? You have to ask yourself if your kids should go to Columbia, the best school in New York State, where they may be spat on and otherwise abused.

Columbia has long been a haven for Jews. A pogrom at Columbia is like a Trump rally in Martha’s Vineyard.

It’s not a speed bump. It’s not going to blow over. It’s going to get worse.

The New Testament, which is not read by many Jews even though it’s a Jewish book written by Jews and for Jews, about a Jewish God, explains what is happening.

Yeshua, the rejected Jewish Messiah, has now been rejected by the vast majority of gentiles as well as Jews. The 2000-year period of evangelism is over. If the world were a restaurant, employees would be putting chairs on the tables right now.

Satan has received the popular vote once again, and Yeshua is returning as an election denier. God hates elections. He hates democracy, which came to us from boy-molesting Greeks. God is a monarch, and he is returning to claim his kingdom.

The Bible says the tribulation will be terrible, because Satan knows his time is short. When the tribulation ends, he will be bound in hell for a millennium, so he is getting his last licks in now. He is throwing a tantrum like a leftist protester who doesn’t want to go into a police van.

Satan is even more furious than usual, and he is also terrified. He is going to do as much harm to Jews and Christians as he can before his humiliation begins.

Jewish religious authorities haven’t heard from the Holy Spirit since about 400 BC, so they have no idea what’s going on. They make wild guesses for a living, and a lot of their work is based on the faulty, blasphemous premise that Yeshua is not the Messiah and not God, although Isaiah said he was both. If Jews still heard from the Holy Spirit, as they used to, they would be talking about the end and the millennium just as Christians are.

They don’t know the Bible well. Not even the Old Testament. They are taught not to study it too much. They are told that if they try to understand it without help, they will just get themselves in trouble. They might even come to the horrible conclusion that Yeshua is who he says he is.

They listen to arrogant old men who read what other arrogant old men have written. Wow…am I writing about the Jews or about most Christians? Same thing. Most Christians are in the same boat. That’s why we have homosexual priests. I mean the kind who admit they’re homosexual.

The Old Testament says to meditate on God’s word, which is the Bible. The rabbis say to meditate on the Talmud, the Zohar, the Gemara, and the Kabbalah. Hmm.

If God’s word is good, why is it better to read things Jews wrote after God destroyed their nation? Obviously, those Jews were doing something wrong.

Spammers used to try to sell me Oprah’s diet tips. Oprah was enormous. Depending on the year and month, she might have been as big as 250 pounds. She finally lost weight at the age of 70, way too late to enjoy it, by taking a drug and lying about it, while serving on the board of Weight Watchers and urging other people to rely on discipline.

The spammers still thought I would buy her diet tips. It’s a bad idea. It would be like listening to clergymen who haven’t heard from God in 2400 years.

It’s going to get worse. The Holocaust is starting up again. New York and Miami Beach aren’t going to protect anyone. Judging by Zechariah 14, neither will Israel. It’s a very bad time to double down on rejecting Yeshua and the Holy Spirit.

Yard and Household Junk Fills in for Professional Models

As part of my preparation for a foreign trip which has been either delayed or canceled due to the difficulty of getting a visa for my wife, I improved my camera equipment. I got a better strap for my Canon 200D, and I got two zooms. A 10-18mm and an 18-135mm. I have been fooling with them. Might as well learn how to shoot, even if I have to do it in my yard for the time being.

The theory behind buying lenses for a 2017 camera which is not as good as my 2023 camera is that the 200D is lighter and would be less painful to lose than the new one. It will take excellent photos, even if the new camera might do somewhat better. Sometimes excellent is good enough.

I thought the wide lens would be good for indoor pictures in certain circumstances. You don’t always have the ability to back up far enough to take a scene in with a long lens, so you can lose shots. Someone questioned my choice, wondering why anyone would travel with a wide lens. I don’t know much about the subject, but it seems to me anyone who spends a lot on important trips would want versatility instead of falling back on a cell phone to take shots his camera’s only lens couldn’t handle.

I figured the longer zoom would be very, very versatile, so even if it didn’t give me the absolute best image quality, it would be a good choice for travel. Again, excellent can be okay.

As for what “best,” means, I don’t know. A lot of people are obsessed with super-sharp photos, and the zoom I turned down when I got the 18-135mm is sharp. It looks like a lot of lenses that aren’t considered very sharp these days are actually sharper than overly-picky people let on. Also, there is a program called Topaz that can improve the apparent sharpness of photos. I guess it’s a cheat, but then every digital camera is a big box of cheat.

There is a lot more to good photography than brutal sharpness, and sometimes you want a photo to be a little less forward-looking.

A lot of history’s best-loved photos aren’t extremely sharp.

I took a few shots with each lens. I’ll be trying to do more.

I really like photography, and I should have gotten more deeply into it 18 years ago, when I got my first real DSLR. Had I done that, I would have a huge collection of great photos now, and I would know more about creating great photos.

Here’s something weird: editing and looking at my own photos is extremely relaxing. I don’t know why. I can sit and stare at a photo I shot for a long time, feeling my blood pressure drop, even if the photo isn’t really good. This isn’t true of every photo I take, but it’s true of the ones that have some not-always-definable qualities I like.

I was desperate for things to shoot today. The light was fading when I started, and there wasn’t much out there. Or maybe I didn’t have the imagination to see what was out there. I took some shots of a few objects to see what the lens could do.

When I came in, I fiddled with editing software. I have started shooting raw files, which means my camera saves files just as it sees them. Ordinarily, cameras save in formats like jpg, which are actually pre-edited by the cameras to make them look better. A jpg may look nice, but when a jpg is created, you lose a lot of data, and that limits what you can do when you edit.

I wanted editing software so I could shoot raw, so I looked for advice, and I ended up getting Adobe Photoshop Elements. I don’t like it. The interface makes no sense at all, so I am constantly having to figure out how to do what I want to do.

Another problem: for some reason, Adobe’s program damages raw files as you edit. When you edit a text document, there is no permanent change until you save it. When you edit a photo with Photoshop, the file is changed, so you lose things. That’s annoying. There has to be some reason for it, but it sounds stupid to me.

Right now, I’m trying Affinity Photo 2, a competitor’s program. Unlike Photoshop, it can be bought. You can only rent Photoshop, and it costs $10 per month. Next year, it will probaby cost more. You can get Affinity Photo 2 a lot cheaper, paying only once.

My understanding is that Photoshop is better, but I’m not a pro, and I’m not doing extreme things. I crop and fiddle with color and sharpness and so on. I’m not trying to simulate psilocybin trips. I may end up buying Photo 2.

I think Adobe’s Lightroom would have been better than Photoshop. I made a good effort to find out what I needed, and Photoshop came out on top, but now I think I was wrong. Lightroom is supposed to be less powerful but easier to use, and it helps you organize photos. Lightroom is another rent-only program, so I am averse to trying it.

You know what they say. “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.” Yeah, and arbacht macht frei. Saying something stupid to people you want to control doesn’t make it true.

I like owning stuff.

I’ll put up a few photos I really like looking at. First, the 10-18mm zoom, and then the 18-135mm.

Here is a hat I bought in Cancun, along with a 2006 DSLR lens I haven’t been able to cleanse of cockatoo dust.

Don’t ask me why. I enjoy looking at it. The composition could be better, and the only story the photo tells is, “I needed to take a picture to test a lens,” but I still like it.

I took a shot of a tire inflator in my workshop. It’s sort of a macro shot, which is not what you should do with a wide lens, but it was there, so I took the picture. The detail is not too bad, considering. The shot you see is not as clear as the original, because I reduced the size a great deal so I could post it.

These shots were edited, painfully, with Photoshop.

While I was shooting with the 18-135mm, I found a few objects I could use. Once again, I acted like I had a macro lens. I shot a couple of magnolia blossoms. I edited the shots in Photo 2.

I didn’t think much of these photos when I took them. I was just trying to see what the lens would do. After I edited them, though, I found them oddly engrossing.

I boosted the color a little, and I increased “clarity,” which may be the same thing as sharpness for all I know. Jacking up clarity brought out the weird veiny features in the petals. If you bring them out too much, the blossoms start to look like something from a Frankenstein movie.

They don’t really look like they do in these photos, and I guess that’s what makes photography an art.

The lens I used is not supposed to create bokeh, the creamy blurriness you see in the background of the second shot, but I tried to create it, and I got it. Not sure how that happened.

I thought these shots would be terrible, because I wasn’t thinking much about composition and so on, but they’re much more pleasing than expected.

I’m going to try to get out there and shoot more stuff. I have a habit of shooting small things, because the big things I have around here aren’t that interesting. I need to try to make them interesting.

I think this is a great hobby for people who want to decorate their houses but don’t want to spend a lot on art. A good original photo, blown up to painting size, runs about $17, and it’s a lot more interesting than a cheesy Van Gogh print or a lithograph by some artist who never sold anything for more than $500 except maybe a lawnmower on Craigslist.

If you photograph people you care about, so much the better.

I don’t plan to put photos of the wife up here, but we have 4 huge photos of us on our walls, and there will be more. I also have shots of friends and their kids, as well as my pets.

This is not a hard hobby. It may be hard for me to create pictures other people like or respect, but I can take photos I like all day long.

“How Dare You Try to Shore up Our Faltering Economies?”

The wife and I won’t be going to Europe any time soon.

As noted in many earlier posts, the Europeans do not like it when Africans try to visit. Admittedly, Africans have a bad history as tourists, because people from West Africa tend to stay in Europe hiding from the law until they die, but Europeans respond to the threat in pretty stupid ways. Instead of looking at each case individually, they accept applications, throw them in the trash as soon as the applicants leave their offices, wait a few days or weeks while only pretending to look at the applications, and then tell the applicants they were rejected for this or that unfounded reason.

How do I know this? Funny you should ask.

My wife has made several applications for visas for the Schengen Area, which covers most of the EU. Every application was rejected. This includes the visa the lying Italians assured her we would get if she paid for tickets in advance.

Every single time she applied, they took her fingerprints as part of the pretend-examination farce.

Schengen countries are required by law to hold onto all biometric information supplied by visa applicants for 59 months, regardless of whether the applications are accepted or rejected. As noted above, she was forced to supply fingerprints at least 5 times. This can’t happen if the applications are actually entered into the system, to which all Schengen countries are hooked up.

They didn’t enter her biometric information in their system, so it was definitely discarded, so they didn’t actually examine her applications. But they pretended to. Italy, Sweden, Germany, Czechia, Austria…they all lied.

If they lied to my wife, they lie to just about everyone. They make exceptions for celebrities, politicians, some scholars who are invited, and probably some very rich people. Everyone else presumably gets the fraudulent process, and all the countries collect fees for doing nothing and lying to people, most of whom are of modest means.

All of her rejected efforts were filed while she lived in Africa, before she had a green card, so we figured things would get easier once she got here. Turns out there are still problems. It may be that the Schengen countries are more likely to accept permanent residents. I don’t know. Even if a green card helps, these people do such a bad job of providing information, it’s still very hard to get an application filed.

We decided to try applying to Greece, which has an consulate less than a light year away, unlike the other European countries a person might actually want to visit (i.e. not Latvia, Estonia, Albania…). It was important to us to use a consulate that was not far off, because they seriously require people to show up for interviews. They haven’t heard of Zoom.

The Greeks have a website full of information which, if relied on by applicants, is sure to get their applications rejected. If you email them with questions, they tell you nothing. We did get a call from some nice lady who worked there, and that was wonderful, but it was a one-time thing, and it was not enough.

They require a bunch of things. Travel medical insurance in excess of $30,000. Flight and hotel information. The original passport. A passport photo. Proof of financial ability to cover the trip. Three bank statements. An itinerary.

Our application was in trouble from the time we left the house, because my wife failed to check and make sure she brought her passport. That’s on us. Her, I mean. I could not believe it. But we had no chance anyway, because they required things the website did not mention.

I did offer to bring the passport the following morning, which was a reasonable offer they should have taken.

They wanted proof of my income, in the form of W-2’s. I don’t have a job, thankyouJesusthankyouJesusthankyouJesus. Okay, they wanted proof I received Social Security. I’m not that old yet. Okay, they wanted my last three tax returns. This was not on their site. They just dropped it on us when we got there. Of course, I just pulled two returns out of one ear and the remaining one out of a top hat I had brought with me. Yeah.

I actually had to ask them whether they needed entire returns. They were not going to tell me. I didn’t want to bring in a stack of papers. Oh, no, they said. Just the first two pages. It’s beyond belief I had to ask.

They also said assets don’t matter. So if you put 10 billion dollars in your travel checking account, it doesn’t prove you can pay for a trip to Greece and back. But if you earn $2000 per month at Walmart, you’re clearly wealthy enough to travel.

They want bank statements, but they say they don’t help. What are they for?

I’m not going to tell the world what I have, but I can show a consulate I have way more in terms of liquid assets than anyone would need to finance three weeks in the second world. If I didn’t, I could not be paying for foreign trips.

Does not matter.

Incidentally, this means you can’t go to Europe during a given year until you file your taxes. If you file an extension, you can’t get a visa until the return is filed. If you think you’re going to go to Europe, make sure you file before you apply, or get an appointment before April 15.

The amazing thing about all this is that you can put whatever you want on a tax return and give it to the consulate. You can take Turbotax and create a bogus return in an hour. Creating fake bank and brokerage statements is way harder.

I doubt you can get in trouble here in the US for falsifying an application for a foreign visa. The US doesn’t care about other countries’ immigration laws, and I don’t think the elements of criminal fraud would be satisfied due to the lack of monetary damages. Also, tax returns are confidential, so foreigners should be unable to verify their contents. I should claim to be a famous rapper and submit returns saying I made half a billion every year.

Floyd Mayweather supposedly took a $27 million check from a fight and put it in his checking account. Supposedly, he does not invest, so he has no regular income. If he were a green card holder from Kenya, he could never go to Europe. But if he were a green card holder from Kenya with $5000 in his checking account and a job managing a Papa John’s, he would have a shot.

Regarding our air travel plans, they said I could not just show up with something I had written, to prove we had flights. That was confusing, because I had supplied them with printouts from Orbitz, proving we had paid in advance for flights to and from Europe. These tickets cost something like a grand more than nonrefundable tickets, but I knew what I was up against when I bought them, so I spent the extra money.

Before the process started, they warned us not to actually buy tickets in advance. They said they just needed reservations. That mystified me, because reservations are things that have not existed for maybe 40 years. You either buy a ticket, or you have nothing.

In the past, other Schengeners have accepted “dummy tickets,” which are worthless tickets fabricated by travel agents. I thought actual tickets would be better than dummy tickets, which are clearly fraudulent by their very nature.

I paid for our hotels and rental units in advance, too. I thought that would impress them. Paid for, not just reserved.

I could not understand the consulate lady’s objections, so I kept questioning her in hopes of doing things right the next time. Finally, she gave me an explanation I understood, and which could possibly be correct, although I’ll bet it’s not.

She said the problem was with our INTERNAL flights. I had not booked flights between countries in Europe, thinking that PAID hotel bills would make it pretty clear we would be in various places at certain times. She said they needed to see the flights in order to show how long we would be in each country.

When she said I had just written down whatever I wanted, she was referring to the itinerary I drafted. Her objection made no sense at all. Our paid flights were documented by Orbitz receipts, and in the itinerary, I made no claims at all. I said we hadn’t chosen flights yet, assuming it was obvious we did not intend to walk across Europe in a couple of hours.

You can see how crazy the concern about internal flights is. If I have a hotel room booked in Greece on the morning of the 23rd, and I have another hotel room booked in Germany on the night of the 23rd, obviously, I will be in Greece in the morning and Germany in the evening, because I don’t want to lose hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Obvious, obvious, obvious. Whether I choose to use a train, a plane, a hot air balloon, or a camel to make the move doesn’t matter.

Well, it mattered to her.

A hotel booking is much stronger than a plane ticket. I can buy a ticket from Athens to Zurich any time I want. They’re abundant. I can cancel. I can rebook. No problem. Hotels don’t work like that. The supply of good hotels dries up fast, so once you get one you like, you do whatever you can to hold onto your booking. You are married to it. But try and tell the Europeans–the professionals who evaluate visa applications for a living–that.

I bought us medical insurance from American Express. I thought this company’s reputation was unimpeachable. The consulate told us it was no good because it did not expressly say “valid throughout the Schengen Area” on the documentation I gave them.

That blew my mind. How many visas has Greece processed? Millions. And they want tourist money, because their economy can’t survive without it. They should know a lot by now. We are not the first people who have used American Express. It should be very, very obvious that if American Express provides TRAVEL insurance to an AMERICAN and his PERMANENT RESIDENT wife, it covers them while they TRAVEL. Where do most Americans go when they travel overseas? EUROPE. They should know this by now.

I get it; they’re not Americans. But they live and work here, they know what American Express is, and as experienced consulate workers, they ought to know what American Express travel insurance is. If not, they should let you use your phone to print out additional information at the consulate instead of sending you home to try again in 6 months, by which time you will have given up or gone somewhere much nicer than Greece.

If I had bought bogus insurance through a fringe company like Heymondo, it would have cost much less, the documents would have assured that it covered us everywhere in Europe, and if we had ever presented a claim, it would have been denied, because Heymondo doesn’t pay claims. But Greece would have taken it. Other countries have. Worthless insurance costing $11 would have worked, but $41 insurance from the most respected travel company in the history of the universe was presumed ineffective.

I should not have to struggle to get a visa for my wife. We are well off. We have clean records. She has a green card. We live on a wonderful property in a wonderful county, so we don’t want to live in a depressing apartment in Athens or Rome. We have been to 6 foreign countries, and we returned home on time in every case. We did our best to follow the rules, and I’m a lawyer. If I can’t get it right, what chance do most people have?

We brought information they didn’t ask for on the website. I thought I was displaying exemplary caution. Our international driving permits. My passport. My driver’s license. My wife’s Zambian ID card and driver’s license. Our Global Entry cards.

When they saw my wife’s superfluous stuff, they told us they didn’t want it. They seemed to think we brought it because we were stupid or didn’t understand English, but we were just trying to be prepared. Then they started asking me for things they didn’t ask for in advance!

The people at the consulate really tried to be helpful, as far as I could tell. But their website is horrible, and they didn’t explain things well in person, either. I’m still not positive we could get to Greece, or even get an application accepted, this year if we decided to try again.

I have canceled all our tickets and reservations. Greece can kiss thousands and thousands of my dollars goodbye, during a relatively slow time when they could use the money. I wanted to give it to them. I wanted to see Greece again. I looked forward to the people. I remember the Greeks as very pleasant, with the exception of one creepy guy who used a braless girl in a tight dress to try to get me to go to his bar.

Tough self-made luck for Greece. I can’t go through this again for a second-tier destination. They will probably find other reasons to reject us, because they can’t get it together well enough to help us give them what they want.

If I’m going to suffer like this and risk losing months of travel opportunities every time, I’m going to shoot for the best destination there is: Switzerland. Forget Greece, which is good, but not great. Forget all the other nice-but-not-that-nice Schengens. Forget Sweden. Forget Belgium. Forget Poland and Hungary. Forget England, which I have never wanted to visit anyway. I don’t have time to waste. We’ll drive six hours to Atlanta, where the nearest consulate is, we’ll stay in a hotel, and we’ll file a visa application there. Then we’ll visit Tennessee, because my wife wants to see it.

I really like the Greeks, but let’s face it: the Swiss are on another level. If there is a way to do things right, the Swiss will do it. They make Germans look like Mexicans.

Ouch. That was harsh of me.

They won’t tell us to buy tickets and then turn out to be lying, like the Italians. They won’t give us incomplete and incomprehensible information, like the Greeks. Their explanations will be easily comprehended by two intelligent people with 4 college degrees, including two law degrees.

They’ll probably even file my wife’s application instead of throwing it out immediately.

I told my wife I would never have to divorce her. If I get tired of her, all I have to do is drive to the airport and fly to Europe, Japan, Israel, or just about anywhere else people actually want to go, without a visa. There is no way she’ll be able to follow me, ever. I’ll be able to take the kids. They’ll be Americans.

Applying for visas for Africans is like asking strangers if you can mail them your poop.

Maybe we can make it in the fall, by which time the wife could be pregnant and the size of a house. Great for hiking in the alps.

Oh, well. There’s always Yellowstone Park.

In case anyone else wants to try getting a Greek visa, let me point out a hazard. People on the web say they give you an approval or disapproval at the appointment. Not true, at least for my wife (African…hmm). They told us they needed two weeks.

We knew it could take 15 days for the visa to arrive, but we thought we would know the answer right away. Not even close to true. If we had scheduled the trip later, just when the hordes of drunken, spoiled, rude Chinese and American tourists will start to pour in, we would have had a chance, but these days, you don’t go to Europe in the summer unless you have no choice. Europe is overrun in the summer.

If I could stand crowds, we’d live within two hundred yards of our neighbors.

When you deal with a Schengen country, you have to have lots of stuff booked in advance. Here is something consulates do not understand: hotels give you a certain amount of time to cancel each booking and get a refund, and unless you plan a trip a very (unrealistically) long time in advance, the time to cancel will pass not long after your visa appointment.

If you have a problem at the appointment, you may not get your visa before you have to pay for your bookings or cancel them. If you cancel them, the Schengeners will reject your application because you canceled. They’ll find out, because they pull weasel tricks like that. If you don’t cancel, you’re betting thousands of dollars on getting a positive outcome from known flakes, which no one but an imbecile would do.

They don’t care if you lose a million dollars. Means nothing to them. They will cancel you without warning, and they will not help you make it right in time to fix the problem.

The Greeks said they could put us on a waitlist for a canceled appointment, and there was some chance we could still make it. No way. We had cut it close already. It was nice of them to make the effort.

If I were to try to plan the same trip again, it would have to be for this fall. It would take me a week of staring at the computer. I would have to spend maybe $10,000 on bookings. I’d get an appointment in June or early July. Then they would say no by early- or mid-July, and I’d have to start over, meaning we couldn’t go to Europe until the following May, unless we wanted to freeze under skies the color of mud. I’d have to go through the miserable process of making sure all my money was refunded, and the hotels and airline would take their sweet time.

It just doesn’t work. Not for a place like Athens. I can risk it for Lucerne, though.

If you do what I’m doing, you get two chances per year. You can try to travel in late spring, or you can try to go in the fall. After you blow those chances, you are done. If you want to go in spring, realistically, you should ask for your appointment in November, and you will get an appointment in February. If you want to go in the fall, ask no later than May, and they will see you some time in July.

The Schengeners make things too hard.

Maybe it’s time to try Japan and Taiwan. Those are good possibilities. There is literally nowhere I want to go in this hemisphere, outside of the US. I don’t want to be bombarded with even more Spanish, see cultural and historical sights of near-zero merit, eat second-rate amoeba-laden food from peasant cuisines, drink water that gives me diarrhea and rectal bleeding, and have poor Indians try to sell me crude, tasteless blankets I wouldn’t use to cover vomit stains on the backseat of a ’74 Pinto.

My wife and I were a car ride away from Chichen Itza, and neither of us were willing to go. Not only was I unwilling to pay to go; I would have paid at least a hundred dollars for each of us to be excused from going.

If it were across the street, sure, but wasting a whole day to sweat in the jungle and see where savages cut children’s hearts out? No, thanks. I’ll see it on Youtube, or, more likely, I won’t. It ain’t Versailles, kids. Nothing beats Europe, and that includes what we have here in the US.

I think I’ll look into Taiwan and Japan tomorrow. Can’t hurt.

British Police Exact Haman’s Revenge

Maybe it’s a sign that I’ve been adversely affected by the lunacy of Satan’s global pre-tribulation countdown party, but I am starting to take pleasure in witnessing spectacular eruptions of evil as they occur. Maybe it’s like the perverse admiration one feels when watching a movie and seeing a particularly grotesque and powerful creature appear on the screen. Like the sensation one fees when watching 300 and seeing Xerxes the fruity nephil prance off his parade float in steel panties.

Here’s a new spectacle for us all: a man in London was threatened with arrest and accused of disturbing the peace for being “openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

“Openly Jewish.”

Genocidal Jew-haters were marching in the street, with the government’s backing, and he decided to show up and stand on the sidewalk looking like a Jew. That was his crime.

When I was 40, you could never have convinced me this was going to happen in a major Western city. Okay, sure. Berlin. Nuremberg. Vienna. But not after 1945.

We are washed up. Don’t try to tell me I’m overreacting. The human race is DONE. The Age of the Gentiles is ending, right in front of us. There is no recovering from this.

The rapture and tribulation come next. The tribulation is also called the day of the Lord and the hour of temptation. Who does the tempting?

Here’s something people don’t want to hear about God: he helps temptation along. He is not just in favor of it; he insists it exist, and he helps Satan do it. The Bible says he doesn’t tempt people to sin, but that’s different.

Satan and demons tempt people, and God decides how many of them are allowed to be loose in the world. The number changes. Right now, demons are flowing in like illegal aliens into Texas. The hour of temptation has to be staffed sufficiently.

If you think I’m wrong, read the Bible. God will give us a thousand years of demon-free peace and blessings while King Yeshua rules on Earth. He will bind Satan in hell. Then he will release Satan from his pen so he can tempt the people who have never been around demons. God, not Satan, will do that.

Demonic behavior is everywhere now, and there are many obvious examples.

Evil spirits are like the Holy Spirit in that they shape people to resemble themselves. If the Holy Spirit isn’t shaping you, and odds are, he isn’t, then demons are doing it. As Yeshua said, those who are not for us are against us. There is no neutrality.

Like the additional IRS agents Democrats are trying to sic on us, the new demons are here to be a plague to us. They are doing what they can to create human replicas of themselves.

We see this in increased homosexuality, promiscuity, pornography, rebellion, pride, body modification, squatting, theft, violence, antisemitism, and persecution of Christians. People are cutting off their fingers and tattooing themselves to look like lizards. Transgender lizards, I should add. No one does things that stupid without help from demons. Schoolchildren in England are showing up in class dressed as animals, and teachers punish kids who acknowledge the insanity.

God showed me that crazy people who participate in unconstitutional protests are acting like demons. Think about it. If you’re a real Christian, you know some demons leave instantly when commanded to go. Others dig in, like the Japanese at Iwo Jima. They know someone may try to cast them out, so they try to make people their own, and they refuse to leave at first. You have to be persistent to get them out.

Think of the demonized characters who glue themselves to streets and seal their arms inside pipes to make it hard for the police to get them to leave. These are demon tactics. The police come and make it clear their presence is illegal, but if they don’t persist, the vandals and trespassers stay.

They do something else demons do: they slander. When the cops try to move them, they scream and claim they’re being injured or killed. They have no shame and no interest in the truth. In fact, many of the protests are, themselves, slanders. Leftists protest evils that don’t exist, or they protest that which is good, blaming people who haven’t done wrong.

“Devil” means “slanderer.” Leftists are constantly slandering decent people. They’ve been slandering whites and men for a long time, and now they’re going after Jews in broad daylight, not hiding their filth, but doing their best to make sure the world sees it.

Squatters are like demons. People are like houses, and when a squatter steals a house, he’s like a demon controlling a person.

Squatters claim it’s all about needing housing. They say they can’t afford both food and rent, and they say even if they are driven out and fined, they save a lot of money. Without getting into the terrible pain and expense they inflict on others, which they never mention, their financial pretexts don’t hold water.

If it were only about housing, they would behave better once they get in. Instead, they vandalize for no reason, making the homes they should be trying to enjoy unenjoyable. They defecate on floors. They tear out walls. That’s demonic. Just as demons harm every person they inhabit, their squatter puppets harm houses.

If I had to squat in someone else’s house during an emergency, I would try to leave it better than I found it, and I certainly wouldn’t make it impossible for me to enjoy.

The new demons–at least some of them–are already here. The temptation has started. So when does the hour itself officially begin? I want to know, because I would like to be gone by then.

Yeshua said no one but Yahweh knew the day or hour of the rapture, but he didn’t say he wouldn’t be told before it happened, and he didn’t say we wouldn’t know the month, year, or season. Maybe God will narrow it down for us.

If you’re Jewish, you really need to get it together. You need to move away from blue areas. You should probably go to Israel. You need to ask Yeshua if he’s the Messiah, because he will tell you and save you.

In the Bible, the collective problems of the Jewish people were invariably caused by rebellion. The same thing is true now. They have been kept out of their homeland for 2000 years, by people God would have defeated had they been doing things right. Their nation was reduced to a wasteland. About a third of them were murdered during the last century. Islamists are legally entitled to drive Jews out of their own temple area.

Jews need to stop insisting their new, post-Titus form of Judaism is correct. It’s not. If it were, it would work.

If this is where pleasing God got you, what happens to nations he’s upset with? How can you call your religion a success?

Most Christians are in the same boat, because they are nominal Christians only. For all their smugness, they will be stuck here during the tribulation, just like the Hindus and atheists, their real brothers and sisters.

The Bible says all the nations of the world will come against Jerusalem, and then the end will come. We are just about there. England is clearly gone, and the US is not far behind. The UN runs schools in Gaza where they teach little kids to kill as many Jews as possible. This is not an exaggeration. Isn’t the UN representative of the nations of the world? If not, funny name.

On to the next atrocity. I’m sure we’ll see something equally appalling in the next 30 days.

More: Columbia University Officially Declared Unsafe for Jews

Here’s more interesting news. Elie Buechler, the Orthodox Rabbi in charge of the OU-LJIC (Orthodox Union-Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus) at Columbia University has told students they should go home because Columbia and the NYPD are not protecting them from dangerous anti-Israel demonstrators.

Dippy, admiration-junkie CU students have created something like a homeless encampment on the quad in front of Butler Hall, the main undergrad library. This quadrangle is the main green space for the entire campus. I’m very familiar with it. I walked by it many times on my way past the library, which I did not actually enter because I was lazy and/or drunk.

“Protestors” in the quad are voicing their support for terrorism and violence toward Jewish students, according to the Fox News account. I guess they really are protestors, because they are protesting the existence of Jews.

Great quotation:

Beyond “Free, Free Palestine,” demonstrators’ chants have included “Al-Qassam you make us proud, kill another soldier now!”, “We say justice, you say how. Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!”, and, “Hamas we love you. We support your rockets too!”

There are Jews among the protestors, and at least some of them are on board with the terrorism and violence against students. Can I prove these things? No, but I went to Columbia, I have known lots of Jews, and, trust me, there are Jews there who are against Jews. Adam Gadahn was a Jew. There are Israeli Jews who protest the existence of Israel on religious grounds. Jewish unity is a myth. It would stun me if there weren’t Jewish students at CU trying to genocide themselves. Self-hatred is too ingrained.

Rabbi Buechler says, “It is not our job as Jews to ensure our own safety on campus. No one should have to endure this level of hatred, let alone at school.”

That’s where I disagree with him. It is the job of Jews to ensure their own safety on every college campus, as well as everywhere else. The need to allow students to protect themselves is something some states are starting to recognize. Seventeen states, bizarrely including Florida, ban carrying weapons on school property, but the rest of the states offer at least some scholars some ability to look after themselves.

Columbia is in Manhattan, so while it most certainly is the job of Jews to protect themselves, they will not be allowed to do it within the law. I promise you, this pleases most of them, as well as their parents. I’m sure nearly all of these people vote for gun control and will continue to do so even if every student has to transfer to a safer school. They will vote against their own civil rights even if antisemitic fascists start beating them to death with signs, feet, and fists.

The idea that the government protects us is positively quaint in its idealism and naivete, especially coming from Jews, of whom several million were executed and starved to death by a very, very popular government. The cops MAY protect you IF they are present when you are threatened, but then again, they may not. If they’re not there when it matters, it’s up to you.

Funny fact: sometimes cops don’t even protect each other. I’ll provide a link to a Youtube video of a female cop who did nothing whatsoever while a woman with a knife charged her partner. Youtube will not let me embed it.

Columbia, unsafe for Jews. You can’t imagine how weird that is if you haven’t been part of CU. When I was there, Jews were all over. The president of the university was a Jew. Prominent academics were Jews. Half of my friends were Jews. People made fun of Columbia for being the most-Jewish Ivy League school.

What next? Miami Beach?

We haven’t seen Nuremberg laws yet, but we are seeing the effect of Nuremberg laws without codification. Jews are allowed to study and hold professorships, but they can’t go to campus. Jews are allowed to share the sidewalks in London, but if they look Jewish while the antisemites are marching, they can be arrested.
Maybe this is worse. You can fight a bad law in court. You can’t fight unwritten policies people pretend don’t exist. We see a lot of this these days. Shadowbanning. Antifa, claiming it doesn’t exist. Debanking without explanation. Complain, and you’re told you’re imagining things.

We have arrived. The antisemitic left is now mainstream, and it can’t be shamed or outlawed. It’s not coming. It’s here.

NPR Takes Much-Needed Step to End Journalism

This one blows my mind.

Everyone knows NPR is way WAY out on the left. The more conservative or religious you are–the fairer you are–the harder it is to listen. No fair-minded person can listen and fail to have the bias jump out at him, like an air horn in an orchestra. It is not reasonable to question the obvious fact that NPR is in the tank for the left.

I guess most conservatives are aware that a CURRENT editor at NPR, a well-regarded employee named Uri Berliner, just produced an essay decrying NPR’s unfairness. Notable fact presented in the essay: NPR has 87 editors, and precisely 0 are not leftists. That’s diversity in Bizarro World. I used to joke that “diversity” meant “getting rid of all the conservative white males,” but my joke has been destroyed in that it has become an objective description of reality.

Thank goodness for the flat Earth conspiracy theory. At least there is one conspiracy theory that won’t turn out to be true.

If you’re here, you have probably read his essay already, so there is no point in going over it line by line. You may also have read the bizarre, emotional, vengeful, punitive, objectively and demonstrably incorrect response written by NPR CEO Katherine Maher. Yes, she’s a woman. She had to be, because she’s white. They would never have hired a white male. Unless maybe he was gay. Or he wore dresses.

In an astonishing display of self-unawareness, in the safety of her bubble, Maher sent a message out to everyone at NPR, and instead of countering Berliner’s facts, she said:

Questioning whether our people are serving our mission with integrity, based on little more than the recognition of their identity, is profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning.

Unbelievable! I thought I was used to the craziness now, but this is like a sharp slap in the face with a large, cold fish. I’m awake again!

1. “Disrespectful.” This means, “How dare you challenge our arrogance? You will pay. You will learn who you are and who I am on the corporate totem pole, little cis man.”

2. “Hurtful.” This means she is angry, not hurt. Someone rolled the rock over, and the biggest bug under the rock is mad because the sun hurt her eyes. Someone put foam sheets on the walls of the echo chamber. She is not “hurt” at all, and neither is anyone else. They’re just furious and ready to dispense payback.

3. “Demeaning.” This is a clumsy libel intended to put a truthful man on the defensive. It’s a deliberate lie intended to shift the blame to the innocent. It’s gaslighting. Berliner didn’t demean anyone. There are meme artists for that.

Based on the facts that he’s a leftist who got along fine with everyone at NPR for years, and that he was advanced to a high position there, Berliner is probably a jerk, but Maher’s attack on him is completely evil and dishonest, and it was intended to help NPR continue to harm conservatives and Christians, so in this instance, we should defend him.

People have a funny tendency to overembrace their enemies when their interests intersect. Right now, a lot of conservatives are saying John Fetterman is a great guy. No, he isn’t. He’s just a Jew who got mad because his pals on the left were assisting in the destruction of Israel. That doesn’t make him Trump cabinet material.

We have to learn to be non-binary. About some things.

I was disturbed by Maher’s insane, retributive message, but today I’m even more disturbed, because she has SUSPENDED HIM WITHOUT PAY.

How much more blatant can the discrimination be? What else do we need? Torches? Pitchforks? A guillotine? A pile of brush and a stake?

A woman in charge of one of the nation’s most prominent “journalism” organizations just SUSPENDED A MAN FOR DOING JOURNALISM.

That is literally his only crime.

He didn’t steal files. He didn’t catch people on hidden cameras. He didn’t lie to anyone. I’m sure he didn’t violate the terms of his employment, unless shilling for NPR no matter what is a term. Until this week, he was an admired employee in good standing. He has done absolutely nothing wrong. To the contrary, risking his job, his financial stability, and the loss of most of his friends, he has done exactly what journalists are required to do. He bravely exposed very damaging corruption at an organization which, as policy, defaults on its obligations of good faith. An organization which does the opposite of its purpose. They’re supposed to disseminate truth, and instead, they fight the truth every day.

Wow. The baseness of the human race could not be displayed more strikingly. It’s like we’re a reality show, and Joseph Heller writes the scripts.

The absurdity of this woman’s response can’t be heightened in any way. She left no room. She has literally punished a man for doing good journalism.

Let’s say he’s wrong. He’s not, but it doesn’t matter. A journalist does not punish another journalist for disagreeing with her. I just don’t have the energy to explain this obvious fact. Everyone knows it’s true.

We should burn the works of absurdist playwrights. Ionesco and Giraudoux, au revoir. Reality has left you in the dust. Every DC comic featuring Bizarro should be destroyed. Comparing Earth to Bizarro World is becoming like comparing Somalia to Switzerland.

Spirit-based delusion is everywhere. People can’t get this stupid without the help of demons. And what did Isaiah say?

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

“Woe” sounds quaint, but it’s not something you want. It means terrible suffering. Like the suffering that will come during the tribulation, which the liars and nuts are hastening with their willful dishonesty and cruelty. Woe means things like starving, dying in nuclear blasts, and watching your crops being completely destroyed. Sodom and Gomorrah experienced woe.

I would say this woman should be fired, but what good would it do? If we had killed Hitler, we would still have had Goering, Himmler, and Goebbels. If we had killed Saddam Hussein right away, we would still have had his sons. One person is not the problem. If we kill Kim Jong Un, we will still have to fight his sister, who is said to be worse. The problem is an Earth covered with a stinking soup of Yeshua-haters and truth-haters.

There are at least 86 people at NPR who can probably be trusted to continue doing what Maher is doing. The one who might resist is on suspension.

Not only is humanity getting nuttier; it is becoming immune to embarrassment about being nutty.

Man, I can’t wait for the rapture. I really hope I will be here during the millennium. To all of you who are still mired in blue states and cities, I have to tell you you’re making a mistake that will harm you and your children as long as you persist. You have forgotten what life among normal people is like, and while you may think you’re doing fine because you resist, you’re not.

During the millennium, the whole world will be a red state.

I guess we’ll have fewer guns, but on the other hand, why would we want them in a world ruled by King Yeshua and his obedient children?

Maybe he’ll let us keep Bass Pro. I love that place. When you step inside, it reminds you there are little isolated cysts full of sanity all over America.

I should buy a popcorn machine. Watching this corrupt phase of the world’s existence end without popcorn just feels wrong.

Stop Sending Your Kids to College

Thanks to the way social sites have changed our young people’s way of thinking, virtue-signaling is at an all-time high. And suddenly, antisemitism is virtue.

I was in Barack Obama’s class at Columbia. Unlike Obama, who had to apply a second time as a transfer because he didn’t have the stuff, I was invited to apply by the chairman of the English department. I didn’t know it at the time, but when I was at Columbia, I saw the future.

Even then, in a university where people claimed the student body was about half Jewish, it was very chic for kids to wear khaffiyas, which are the head adornments commonly worn by so-called Palestinians. They look a lot like dishrags. One great way to tell flighty, confused, extremely gullible feminist coeds you were a great candidate for fornication was to wear a khaffiya as a scarf.

Kids at Columbia were generally far, far out on the left, and they were full of it. For many, it was all a pose. It tended to fade as job interviews began.

I remember a kid named Elpidio. A California Mexican. He ended up at Yale Law. He was a big social justice warrior. He was all about sticking it to the man. He was admired for it. Years later, I was looking at the Wall Street Journal. There was an article about a game McDonald’s offered to its customers. People won big prizes. McDonald’s didn’t like it when anyone connected to an employee won, because of fraud concerns. A lawyer for McDonald’s was interviewed for the article. This was a guy whose job it was to investigate little people who won prizes, so he could take them away. It was the first time I had seen Elpidio’s name in print. I wonder what Cesar Chavez would have thought of him.

I just looked, and he still has a site where he describes himself as a warrior for diversity. In a horrifying display of cognitive dissonance, his (surely) self-penned blurb on another site says he has worked as in-house counsel for three huge pharmaceutical companies. Everyone on the left admires pharmaceutical companies for their warmth and generosity!

I remember a kid named Rick. He was a big anti-draft martyr. Under President Carter, Uncle Sam had brought back draft registration, and the social justice warriors weren’t having it.

My dorm room was a focal point of social activity on my floor. People used to gather there to drink and sing and play music. One day, Rick was in attendance. As part of his liberal shtick, he shamed people for registering for the draft. He urged them not to do it. While he was in my room, he confided to us that he had registered. He said fear of being arrested would make him less effective as an activist.

I would like to add that Barack Obama was a total nobody. People think that when he was born, the ob/gyn noticed that the sun shone from his rear end, and ever since then, he has been an automatic celebrity everywhere he has gone. Not true. He was a ghost. One person I know thinks he saw his name on a poster somewhere, but I think that’s a false memory. No one else I have talked to remembers him.

There were students who were well-known. Rick and Wally, the musicians. Lou Antonelli, the campus politician. Obama was not a campus name.

He was a big nothing after leaving school. There is a 5-year gap between his graduation and his entry into law school, and during that time, he took nutty leftist jobs like “community organizer,” which means he was a low-level bag man.

It kind of seems like the women I knew, nearly all of whom were twisted and unmarriageable, were more sincere than the men, because I have Googled and learned that a lot of them kept their maiden names and ended up working as leftist academics (I repeat myself). This makes sense, because the men would have pretended to be anything in order to get sex. They had more motivation to put on an act, and men, by their nature, are more conservative than women. I’m sure many of the girls were completely phony, but they weren’t the ones who had to be chameleons in order to fornicate.

Why a Jewish kid from Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn (Columbia stereotype of the time) would wear a head decoration labeling himself as a supporter of an organization of genocidal swine who wanted to torture and kill his entire demographic is beyond me, but kids are stupid, so it happened. It makes me wonder why young Jews in prewar Europe didn’t wear swastikas in order to be popular.

Actually, some did, but they didn’t do it for sex. They did it to stay alive.

I’m thinking about these things because I just saw an article saying the US, under the president women and Jews elected and may elect again, has decided not to involve itself in any Israeli response to Iran’s brutal, failed missile and drone attack.

It made me think of Zechariah, who said God would gather all the nations of the world against Jerusalem. Have we just seen it begin?

Iran needs a crushing, humiliating blow right now. We should help administer it. Instead, we are telling the world we are not going to stick with Israel much longer. They just have to wait a bit, and soon we will be on their side, if not through action, then through passivity. We are encouraging the continued efforts to make the world judenrein.

How different things would be if Trump were still president.

Biden Shuffles Closer to Fateful Red Line

Today I am looking at Zechariah.

In 586 BC, Yahweh got fed up with the Jewish people and sent them into exile. This was a punishment from God, not an unjust persecution of good people. The word makes that clear. Isaiah foretold the Babylonian captivity and the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple at least a hundreds years earlier, and he described God’s hatred for Jewish idolatry and disobedience.

Like the rest of us, the Jews have never had a common problem that wasn’t connected to rebellion. Antisemitism’s successes and the constant efforts to destroy Israel spring from the refusal to give up heresy and accept Yeshua, the only divine Jewish Messiah there will ever be.

If you read the Tanakh, you will see that Yahweh never let the Jewish people suffer great distress except when they were disobedient. Sadly for gentiles, we are judged the same way.

A few decades after Jerusalem was destroyed, the Persian emperor Cyrus, whom Isaiah named before he was born, gave his Jewish eunuch cupbearer, Nehemiah, permission to start rebuilding. Several years later, the temple opened for business under Darius, the emperor who replaced Cyrus.

The Jews persisted in idolatry and heresy and endured a series of conquerors until 70 AD, when the temple, which had been renovated by one of the Herods, was destroyed by the Romans under Titus. The Jews haven’t recovered. God scattered them all over the world, and most of them have not returned and have no plans to do so. Israel was barren and poor until Jews started returning during the 20th centure.

Jewish history says religious Jews in the temple observed the temple’s massive gate opening by itself prior to its destruction, and many people see this as evidence the presence of God had left. Also, the scarlet thread on the temple door, which had always turned white over Yom Kippur, failed to change color during the 40 years after the crufixion, suggesting that the Jews who ran the religious establishment had failed to acknowledge the final sacrifice; that of their Messiah.

This is pretty much what happened after Zechariah prophesied. In his prophecies, he talks of a day of the Lord, which will be preceded by terrible suffering. He talks about Israel being overrun and the women raped and so on.

These things have not yet happened, so they have to be future events.

Here is part of the chapter:

For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

This can’t be about Nebuchadnezzar. It can’t be about Titus. It can’t be about Hitler. The facts don’t match. It has not happened yet.

The first sentence appears to be in the works. It says God himself will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle. There are a few nations which are relatively friendly to Israel, but the simple fact is that without the US, Israel would have no powerful friends among the nations. Once the US turns, as it started to do under Obama (some would say Bush II), it will be reasonable to say that just about all nations are against Jerusalem.

Jerusalem represents Israel. It has been the capital since 1980, and Donald Trump, the American Cyrus, gave it our official recognition when he was president.

Now Americans, including many Jews, are in the streets protesting not just Israel, but Jewish individuals with no connection to Israel. They chase and abuse Jewish college students with no repercussions. A bunch of antisemites just entered the US Capitol illegally to protest, and unlike the J6 victims, they were sent home without charges.

With the exception of many conservative Christian gentiles and most, but not all, Jews, Americans are generally not all that bothered by antisemitism. We have had one president who was openly against Israel, and most Jews voted for him anyway. Iran just fired rockets and sent drones to Israel, supposedly in self-defense, after Israel retaliated against Iran for arming terrorists in Palestine and Lebanon. Our current president had a phone call with Netanyahu, and instead of giving him a free hand to do as he saw fit, our president appears to have reined him in.

Israel is very dependent on us, so our presidents can push Israeli prime ministers around. If Israel were dependent on Yeshua, Israel, not the US, would be the premier nation of Earth, but that’s not how things have worked out.

America’s abstention is the main reason all nations are not against Israel, but America is not the stable ally it used to be. Can Zechariah 14 be that far off?

Biden may well be reelected because American women love abortion so much. They have shown they are willing to charge the polling places in feminine rebellion against God’s patriarchal universe. If Biden wins, he will probably have to bow out and leave Kamala Harris in charge very soon. Harris is even farther to the left than Biden, so a Harris reign would likely put the US in among the other nations that oppose Israel.

Jews will vote for Biden in November. If he can’t make it to the election, they will vote for Harris. If Harris dies suddenly before we vote, they will vote for a bowl of fruit salad as long as it’s the Democrat nominee.

Bill Maher, an atheist Jew, says he would vote for Biden’s head in a jar of blue liquid before he would vote for Trump, and he really means it. People think it’s just a joke, but Maher would literally vote for a cucumber or a radish and wait for the Democrats to find a replacement.

As a group, Jews always feed and support those who want to destroy them. This is the nature of rebellion against God. The 850 prophets of Baal who served Jezebel weren’t foreigners. They were Jews.

Zechariah 14 did not happen in the past, and it can’t be far off in the future. The modern Tower of Babel, which is technology coupled with paganism, is getting too powerful.

We are gaining godlike powers, and Satan uses them to fill us with pride and make us reject God. We’re not getting the big godlike powers, like the ability to work miracles at will, but we have hydrogen bombs, artificial intelligence, gain-of-function viruses and other abominations resulting from gene manipulation, and an astounding ability to do things with information.

We are creating beings that are part human and part animal. We are developing a surveillance apparatus so widespread, it is getting close to the point where it can eliminate free will.

You have to be careful when answering your phone now. Spammers use AI to record and steal voices. They can call your relatives pretending to be you and claiming you’ve been kidnapped. If you don’t answer the phone, they can do it using your Instagram videos. They can make videos of you doing whatever they want.

In Babel, God showed he was not willing to let people have too much supernatural power, so surely he will step in when our natural power becomes too great.

I am ready to leave. I don’t want to raise kids on this planet until God changes it.

Speaking of change, it’s coming. Zechariah mentioned the Messianic Age, also known as the Millennium. A better world is on the way. It will be here after the 7 years of tribulation, when Yeshua returns to rule with his bride.

In chapter 9, these words appear:

A message came from Adonai-Tzva’ot: “Adonai-Tzva’ot says, ‘I am extremely jealous on Tziyon’s behalf, and I am jealous for her with great fury.’ Adonai says, ‘I am returning to Tziyon, and I will live in Yerushalayim. Then Yerushalayim will be called Truth City, Adonai-Tzva’ot’s Mountain, the Mountain of the Holy One.

Adonai-Tzva’ot says, ‘Old men and old women will once again sit in the open places of Yerushalayim, each one with his cane in his hand, because of their great age. The city’s open places will also be full of boys and girls playing there.’

Adonai-Tzva’ot says, ‘This may seem amazing to the survivors in those days, but must it also seem amazing to me?’ says Adonai-Tzva’ot. Adonai-Tzva’ot says, ‘I will save my people from lands east and west; I will bring them back, and they will live in Yerushalayim. They will be my people; and I will be their God, with faithfulness and justice.’

This didn’t happen with Herzl, and it didn’t happen in 1948. There has been some restoration, but nothing like this. It’s in the future.

Most Jews are atheists or something close to it. They are not God’s people at the moment, even though they are precious to him.

I want to see things come to a head, not for vengeance on people who are against God and his children, but for the same reason I would want to see an actual boil come to a head, permitting it to be lanced. We can’t have the good until after we see the bad. I don’t want to see the world get more and more disgusting and unlivable for another 30 years. I would rather see the rapture and tribulation come right now, so we can finally move on and see the blessed world God always wanted us to have.

Some people want things to get worse so they can have a civil war and run around shooting everyone who annoys them. I just want to see humanity healed and restored. I want an end to hate and pride. I don’t want to be ruled and abused by perverts any more. I want to see ailments healed supernaturally so we don’t have to pay the latest generation of secular witch doctors to cut us up. I want to see an end to poverty.

The Iran attack makes this all feel much more real. If there is anything happening now that makes it look like the end is far off, I am not aware of it.

Gazans Considerably Worse Than Nazis, and Our Kids Wave Their Flag

I thought I already had a very low opinion of Islam and Islamists, but today I found there was still room for deterioration.

I knew Islamists taught young children to hate and murder Jews. I knew nearly everything Hamas and the other terrorist Islamist organizations said was a lie. I knew every person, without exception, who supported Gaza over Israel was a Jew-hater or a fool. I knew all that, but today I watched a Gazan Muslim who converted to Judaism tell about his life, and I found that I didn’t hate Islamism or Islam enough.

I rarely sit through a Youtube video lasting more than 15 minutes. This one is over an hour and a half long, and I couldn’t turn it off.

I strongly recommend the part where he talks about going shopping with his mother and seeing a severed Palestinian head rolling around on the ground, as well as dismembered Palestinian bodies hanging in the air. People thought nothing of it and went about their day. This is what Gazan lives are worth to Gazans.

The man in the video suffered for many years to become a Jew, and he was finally allowed to convert. The sad thing is that he still does not know his God. He hasn’t met Yeshua, and he doesn’t know the Holy Spirit. He thinks he made it into the end zone, but he’s still on the ten-yard line. He has suffered so much, and he has barely gotten anywhere.

He did this interview long after October 7, and he says Israelis are still not taking the threat seriously enough. Because of his realistic views, he is considered an extremist.

Jews always, always help their enemies and fight their friends. October 7 won’t change anything. In November, they will congratulate themselves for voting against conservatives and Christians.

Isaiah 3:4 Comes to Life

I heard a shocking insight on the problem with today’s soft, coddled, narcissistic, sociopathic, ignorant, racist, Jew-baiting younger generations.

It came from a weird source: the TV show “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” In so many words, a character said that that social sites had changed people’s priorities. On social sites, people slavishly compete for “likes.” That’s the basis of the problem. I’ll just post the video here. It’s under a minute long.

The idea is that young people aren’t concerned about being virtuous. All they really want is for other people to admire them, so they say what they think other people want to hear so they will be popular.

As you see in the video, the character used his knowledge to get flighty, conceited, deluded young women to have sex with him. He said things he knew they would approve of, and he soon found himself on top of them, which is all he wanted from the start.

Back when there was a real Blogosphere, which means maybe before 2004, we saw something similar among bloggers. There were a lot of bloggers who would do anything to be linked. They treated website visits as though they were rubies piling up in a vault. A lot of people sucked up to Glenn Reynolds, because a link from his site would generate 30,000 or more visits.

People shaped their writing to please Reynolds and the other link rainmakers, and they formed cliques.

I didn’t get into this because it wasn’t my nature. I liked it when I got traffic bumps, and I hoped I would end up with a steady stream of heavy traffic, but I didn’t care enough about it to become a whore and kiss up to people I didn’t respect or agree with. I remember when Pajamas Media arrived, and I was a huge critic. I realized it would ruin conservative blogging. It was an attempt to put a small cabal in control of other people’s traffic and shut non-favored bloggers out. I offended a lot of people who were too thick to understand the problem. They thought every conservative owed loyalty to anyone who tried to increase the influence of conservative bloggers, but that was as far as their limited comprehension got them. They never tried to understand my objections.

I’m not good at manipulating people, because I hate manipulation. My natural approach to life is to try to get things through my own efforts instead of manipulating others to do my work for me. This is an interesting subject, because it has supernatural roots.

For a long time, I’ve been disgusted by big-church preachers who teach lies, and one day, God showed me the difference between his sons and Satan’s sons, and it made me understand why big-church preachers were so vile. One way to tell a son of God from a son of Satan is that a son of God will use his tools to get what he wants, while a son of Satan will use people. People are his tools.

Leftists are children of Satan. They hate meritocracy. Instead of trying to get things on their own, they use libel to force other people to give them what they have and become their de facto slaves.

The episode from which the video comes aired in late 2021, which was a year after we saw Americans tear each other apart online for things like welcoming Donald Trump’s shots, criticizing the same shots when they were touted by Joe Biden, and refusing to wear masks that didn’t work. Covid showed us how stupid, mindless, vicious, cowardly, and herd-driven Americans really are. It showed us the tip of the iceberg, anyway. We are capable of doing everything the Nazis and Japanese did.

A silly, crass TV sitcom has helped me understand just how lost humanity is. We have never had much character, and now we face attitude-shaping forces we will never be good enough to overcome or even fight. Young people wander through life now with their phones in front of them, competing to see how much they can impress other unthinking children by agreeing with them on X, Tiktok, and Instagram. The punishment for disagreeing is banishment from everyone else’s sight. If you speak the truth, the tech sites shadowban you into digital solitary confinement.

It’s too bad Orwell didn’t foresee shadowbanning. That would have made this century more interesting.

Nobody ever gave humanity a needed breakthrough by agreeing with what other people said. You can’t agree with anything that hasn’t been mentioned before, and by its very nature, a useful new idea can’t be something that has already been mentioned. The kids are just rehashing seductive, pathological errors other kids have already made, and they are actively blocking genuinely progressive thought that would heal society.

We need wise people to bring the world back to reality, but wise people are aging out of the population. They are dying without being replaced. The system shames their replacements out of existence, or at least out of the public eye. Wise young people are few in number, and they are systematically deplatformed. A homogeneous population of self-righteous, nonthinking simpletons is rising up to replace generations that had some hope of self-correction.

People who aren’t smart or very good make up the vast majority of human beings. People should realize they need to be led. Low-intelligence people are constantly reinforced in their delusions of cleverness now, so there is no hope they will realize they need to start listening.

In earlier times, the ratio of fools to wise people didn’t change much from one century to another. Now, because of the social-site feedback loop, the ratio is zooming upward with no brakes. Smart people created technology, and technology is turning human beings into fools.

We have never faced a challenge like this. We’re losing. There is no hope we will pull out of it.

Satan has always loved going after the young. He loves turning them against the old, because the old have all the wisdom. Communists, all of whom served Satan, always took kids away from their parents so they could be programmed without unwanted injections of time-proven wisdom. During the 20th century, Satan used changes in music and entertainment to segregate kids from older people who could save them. He used the arts to convince young airheads that older people were stupid. Now he uses cyberspace to do these things, much more effectively. “Likes” have turned out to be more powerful than drugs.

What do we do about our problem? We post videos explaining why the kids are wrong. We p3n the libs with reasoned arguments. It’s not going to work. If reason mattered to people, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

It makes me sad to see Christians and conservatives proudly filling the web with material they think will solve the problem. A lot of these people will probably be rounded up and killed within 20 years. After they lose. If I’m still here when leftists get what they want, I guess I’ll be right in there with the unpersons in cattle cars, because I have tried to change the world, too.

I feel alienated for many reasons. One reason is that I have never had much motivation to be popular. I can’t relate to the kind of people who run for third grade class president or captain of the pep squad. I don’t understand the desire to be admired greatly by dunces. I understand the desire to be left alone.

I wonder if this is why I have no fear of public speaking. I have never had high self-esteem, I don’t crave attention, I hate fame, and I have always been somewhat shy, but it doesn’t bother me at all to speak in front of crowds. If a van pulled up to my house right now, and I was asked to stand in front of a camera and address the planet for an hour, I wouldn’t be afraid at all, except for the fear–the certainty–that legions of undeveloped people similar to baboons would start harassing me. My lack of fear must be related to the fact that I have nothing but contempt for crowds. I don’t respect them at all.

A crowd voted against Moses. A crowd voted against the Jewish priests and demanded tyrannical and incompetent kings. That was catastrophic. A crowd voted to have the Romans murder Yeshua. A crowd tried to throw him off a cliff. Crowds beat Paul. These were religious crowds, too.

Throughout the Bible, crowds were against God maybe 90% of the time.

Crowds pour into hell all day. Individuals are saved out of crowds.

The Bible tells us not to incline after the majority to do injustice. It doesn’t say anything like that about individuals, because people feel very little pressure to follow individuals. You don’t have to caution people against doing what they don’t want to do.

When we feel pressure to follow individuals, it’s almost always because crowds are already following them.

Here’s something funny: Jewish sages have decided the Bible tells people to incline with the majority, even though the text clearly, indisputably says the opposite. How perverse can you get? The majority of sages must have overruled God.

Things are worse than we thought. They will continue to get worse. There is no collective solution. The only answer is to stay close to God and constantly invite correction. You can’t save the ship, but you can get a seat in the lifeboat.

Spend Big, Pack Big

My wife and I are not planning to travel right away, but I am still obsessed with planning a trip that could materialize later this year. Today’s gut-wrenching decision: carry-on or checked bag?

When we went to Mexico, expecting to stay two days, we took a big checked bag and one small backpack. The low-budget airline we took charged about the same amount for checked bags and carry-ons, and we figured they could manage not to lose our luggage on a nonstop flight, so this is the strategy we chose. It worked.

Other than that, we have always taken at least one big bag each, one backpack for electronics and valuables, and maybe some other small bags. It has worked well for us most of the time.

The only times we had problems, we were part of the chains of failure.

On a trip back from somewhere or other, I failed to collect my checked bag at JFK and take it through customs. I thought it was checked all the way through. The airline brought it to me a day or two later. No big deal.

On a trip back from the mediocre destination known as Ireland, Air France and Aer Lingus stole my wife’s checked bag. They and Heymondo, our crooked insurer, refused to pay. The bag turned up months later, missing several hundred dollars’ worth of possessions, which we had to replace at our own expense. The bag itself was ruined, because, you know, it’s impossible to store a sturdy hard-sided bag on a shelf for several months without ripping it apart. Bags I leave in my closets fly apart all the time.

We checked the bag at a kiosk in Dublin. She had an Aer Lingus flight to France, an Air France flight to Johannesburg, and an Airlink flight to Lusaka. The kiosk printed us a bag tag for Paris. As a result, the airlines took the bag to Paris and left it there.

Not running airlines personally, we didn’t know the airline had made an error. We had this idea that they had huge global computer networks that routed bags to their correct destinations based on passenger names, originating flights, confirmation numbers, and common sense. We didn’t know the final destination had to appear on the tag.

The airlines do this so often, there is a name for it: “short-tagging.”

The airlines screwed up, but if we had been more seasoned and more adept at catching their disgraceful, inexcusable mistakes, we would have gotten the tag fixed in Dublin.

The part where they and the insurer all lied to us for months was not our fault at all and not foreseeable. That’s on them.

Having had these experiences, we have been considering learning to cram all our stuff into carry-ons. Carry-on bags are positively chic now. If you check a big bag, people make fun of you, as though you’re some kind of rube because you don’t want to wear the same pants 8 days in a row.

Pro-carry-on arguments sounded so smart to me, I ordered a really nice carry-on, and it arrived today. I think I’m going to send it back without opening it. This very week, I wrote a piece listing my reasons for wanting a smaller bag. Since then, some things have occurred to me. I’m not saying I was WRONG about anything, because that could never happen. Merely that I may not have been totally 100% correct.

I told MY truth.

1. The rate of truly lost bags is somewhere below 1 in 200. The vast majority of “lost” bags are merely delayed a day or two.

2. You don’t actually have to fill a checked bag with things you can’t stand to lose, and you can put clean underwear and socks in your pockets when you fly, enabling you to survive until your bag arrives.

3. If you take a big bag, you have a place to put things you buy while traveling. If you take a carry-on, you’re going to sit on it and put it in a hydraulic press and do whatever else you have to do to get as much junk as possible into it before you leave. You will not be able to jam souvenirs into it.

4. If you check a big bag, you never have the common problem of suffering with small luggage and also having to check your tiny bag at the last minute because the airline didn’t plan.

5. With a big bag, you can go a week or more without doing laundry. Laundry is expensive, and doing laundry in a bathtub is no fun. People who use small bags often wear things over and over, which is gross.

6. People complain about the time it takes to collect a checked bag. This is silly. If losing 30 minutes is that big a deal, your vacation is too short, and you will lose your mind when you get to customs and immigration, not to mention the lines at places like the Vatican and the Acropolis. Disney World will make you wish for death.

7. Travel is about memories, and if there are no pictures or videos, it never happened. Good camera gear is a lot better than your Iphone. If you have a checked bag, you have more options for carrying things like extra lenses and remote mike sets. These things take up room, and you won’t want to check them. The more junk goes in your checked bag, the more camera gear can go in your backpack or an extra carry-on. If you don’t have a remote mike set, and there is any wind at all when you shoot, and the camera is over a foot away from whoever you’re shooting, no one will be able to hear anything you or your companions say, and you may say very important things. “WHUMP WHUFF WHUMP WHUFF WHUFF love you WHUMP WHUFF WHUMP live without you WHUMP WHUMP WHUMP marry me and make me the happiest WHUFF WHUFF WHUFFITY WHUMP.” Is that what you want to hear 50 years later?

8. I saw a guy complain about moving around with big bags. I have traveled with a huge rollaboard and a backpack that weighed around 20 pounds. No problem. You only have to move your own luggage when you’re between vehicles. Cars have trunks. Buses and trains have racks. Moving your own bags is good for you, and it will help you gain less weight on your trips. Lifting an inadequate 25-pound bag is not much easier than lifting a 35-pound bag that fills all your needs.

9. If you have a big bag, you can dress more appropriately. You can bring two pairs of shoes. You can bring real pants and a jacket. You won’t find yourself at a Michelin-starred restaurant in cargo shorts.

The main problem with a checked bag is that a disgusting pervert who is also a high official in the Biden administration may steal it so he can wear your clothes, but this only happens if you’re female or think you’re female. There haven’t been any cases of confused XX Biden appointees stealing gender-correct clothing from actual men.

I’m starting to think that carry-ons are for short trips to third-rate destinations like Cancun and Miami. You land on Friday night, drunk. You lie on the beach drunk until Sunday afternoon. You fly home drunk Sunday night, thinking about RU-486 and/or penicillin. If you’re flying home from Miami, maybe you’re concerned about a fresh bullet wound. For a situation like that, a carry-on is perfect. For multi-week trips to nice places, a big bag seems to make more sense.

I think I should return this thing. This is what I get for listening to millennials who wear mildew-smelling knee-length basketball shorts everywhere they go.

Feast, my Darlings

Are Italians really as Italian as people think they are?

My wife and I went to Mexico, a place known for emotionalism, tardiness, poverty, dishonesty, and laziness. Our hotel was not perfect, but it was pretty clean, the staff was helpful and efficient, and the security was good. Now we are looking at Florence and Rome. I wasn’t able to find a single hotel that didn’t have scary reviews, so we are shooting for Airbnb instead.

Italians suffer from the same basic stereotypes as Mexicans, except that you are less likely to be kidnapped by the police in Italy. Are the stereotypes justified?

I have traveled a lot over the last three years, and I rely on reviews, for whatever they’re worth. One thing I know is this: if a business has 3,000 reviews and a near-perfect rating, you ignore the good reviews and read the bad ones. Read the ones that start with phrases like, “I can’t understand all the good reviews.” This is what I did while looking for Italian hotels.

I looked at hotels under a certain price. Repeatedly, I saw complaints about bad smells, nonfunctional air conditioning, noise, rude staff, violent staff, dirty rooms, bedbugs, bait and switch games, and elevators that didn’t exist or only went part of the way to rooms. I figured I was being too cheap. I looked for rooms that cost more. Same hotels with the same reviews. I could not find anything that looked acceptable, and I was willing to pay $400 per night.

Here’s the worst thing I saw: hotel proprietors routinely insulted and argued with guests who left bad reviews. Some apologized and said they would try to do better, but many, many reacted like, well, like Italians.

If you’re going to insult and belittle your customers and accuse them of lying on the Internet, where the world can see it, what will you do in private when new guests arrive?

When you look at bad reviews for Swiss hotels, you see a different picture. The clerk didn’t want to provide extra towels. The room was small. The hotel was too far from the train station. No one complains about stained sheets, reservations canceled without notice, or sewage smells.

We went to Egypt and picked a hotel and a cruise ship off the web. The hotel was clean and spacious. The bathrooms were fantastic. They had bidets. The food was pretty good. The staff was nice. There was no noise. The ship was clean. The staff was wonderful. The food was better than the hotel food.

We went to Turkey. The hotel could not have been much better. Everything was spotless. The beds were huge and comfortable. The bathrooms were worthy of the nation that invented the Turkish bath.

Egypt and Turkey. These are not blue ribbon destinations. Egypt is a second world country, and if Turkey is first world, it’s not high on the list. Italy is held out to be a real country, like Germany. How come they can’t run decent hotels?

I considered giving up on Italy, but…it’s Italy. You can’t take the Ponte Vecchio and the Coliseum and move them to a nation where the hotels are clean. Italy was the hub of Renaissance art. The art is still there. If you want to see it, you have to risk sleeping with the bedbugs.

If we go, we will use Airbnb. We’ve had good experiences with apartments in the past. You get to sit at a dinner table. You get to do laundry. You get a real refrigerator. You don’t get drunks screaming right outside your door all night or banging on it by mistake, trying to get inside for sex.

The general, but not ironclad, rule about stereotypes is that they don’t develop in a vacuum. No one complains about the Japanese being overemotional or dishonest. No one crosses the street upon seeing a big male Norwegian approach. The people complaining about Italian hotels surely have good reason for their critiques. Italians are fun people, and they live in a fun country, but if Egypt and Mexico are beating them, they need to shape up.

I did some research and learned that Rome has some excellent pizza shops, so I hope to hit at least one of them if we go.

In a few weeks, we will know if we have a visa.

Visa Attempt Number 42

Having survived Cancun, the wife and I are now making another effort to get to Europe. Like Charlie Brown, running up to kick that elusive pigskin, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment yet again.

A Greek consulate is not far off, so before long, we will be heading there so my wife can be put under a microscope and possibly allowed into Europe.

The Europeans we dealt with in past efforts refused to give us a chance. They thought a woman who had traveled to several countries with her relatively affluent husband, and who had returned from said countries without setting off any bombs or overstaying her visa and becoming a petty criminal, was sure to remain behind and start a human trafficking ring or something. Now we have a green card to bolster our wild claim that my wife wants to return to the US and her big house after our next trip. We hope it will get us some traction.

The Greeks at the embassy seem very nice. They actually called me and talked to me. That was a first. With other countries, I had a better chance of getting a return call from J.D. Salinger, and he’s dead.

We constantly get better at applying and traveling.

The Greeks want us to show them an airline reservation before they will give us a visa. There is no such thing as an airline reservation. I don’t know exactly when airlines stopped taking reservations, but it was probably in the eighties. When we were trying to get my wife visas in Zambia, we got travel agencies to produce ridiculous fake itineraries, which the embassies knew were fake. Somehow, this worked with several countries.

I finally figured out how you deal with the reservation requirement. You buy refundable tickets, which are insanely expensive. You go through the embassy process. If you get a visa, you return your tickets and buy new nonrefundable tickets which are much cheaper.

It’s all a big scam. It seems unfair to the airlines. On the other hand, airlines behave really badly all the time, so it’s hard to feel much sympathy. Air France and Aer Lingus literally stole my wife’s luggage, returned it months later, destroyed, and missing hundreds of dollars’ worth of stuff, and refused to pay us a dime. Airlines steal and break things all day, every day. Since 2001, their waiters and waitresses have gotten really full of themselves. They love throwing people off planes now.

We spent $3700 on tickets we have no intention of using. If we get a visa, we’ll only use our tickets if we can’t get cheaper ones. If we don’t get a visa, we’ll take all of our money back.

I don’t understand how having tickets makes you a better visa candidate. Osama bin Laden could have bought airline tickets legally. I can understand how they would want you to have a return ticket before flying, but that’s completely different. They could approve you before you buy the ticket and then require you to produce it at the gate before your inbound flight.

It would be nice to see Greece again. It’s one of the world’s top travel destinations. It’s not like Cancun, our last destination, where American kids go to practice regurgitation. We have booked a tour of the Acropolis and one for Corinth. We’re also planning to do a food tour.

You can keep the islands, except for Crete.

We’re shooting for Switzerland for the second part of the trip. Aim high when you expect to be rejected, I always say. I want to see Lucerne again. We want to visit the tops of some alps and take boat rides on the lake. We also want to see the Interlaken area. We hope to stay in Wengen, which is what God created while he was working on ideas for heaven.

Switzerland is the most beautiful country. Yeah, yeah, it’s subjective, yada yada yada, whatever. Switzerland is the most beautiful country. It’s more beautiful than any mountainous area anywhere else. North America, South America, the Himalayas…no competition.

There are other places that look good in photos. Go there, get out of the plane, and what do you get? Mosquitoes. Blistering heat. Stifling humidity. Europe is the air conditioned continent. In Western Europe, even the bad days are great by American standards.

The alps have natural beauty plus a population that appreciates it and creates houses and buildings that complement it. Other mountainous areas look like slums in comparison.

Georgia has one of the two highest mountains in Europe. The nearest town looks like mud daubers built it.

Of course, not all of the beauty of the alps is in Switzerland, and Norway has some stunning scenery, but overall, Switzerland IS the most beautiful country. So we are going to try to go there and stuff ourselves with dishes full of potatoes and fried cheese.

The Swiss also have it more together than anyone else. I would put Singapore in second place. The Swiss are rich, they have very little crime, and they seem to do everything they do as well as it can be done. I suppose most of them are godless leftists, but they are extremely capable godless leftists.

If they won’t take us, I guess we’ll have to vacation in Tennessee.

I’m trying to improve my touristing skills. I have always traveled with a huge old bag because I had to bring my wife things. On the way over, the bag would weigh 45 pounds, and on the way back, it would weigh 20. I always had to go through the bag claim. I never knew whether the airlines were going to steal my things. Now I’m trying to work it out so I can take a carry-on.

You would think it would be simple, but it isn’t. Different airlines have different carry-on size requirements. It’s really stupid. I’m trying to find the biggest carry-on around that will make nearly every airline happy. So far, it’s looking like the Travelpro Platinum Elite Rollaboard.

A rollaboard is a bag with two wheels. A spinner is a bag with four wheels. I don’t know why they call them spinners. Maybe because you can spin them on their wheels. It’s a stupid name.

Rollaboards are better than spinners. They’re sturdier. Spinner wheels tend to snap off. Rollaboards also hold more stuff, because the rolling hardware takes up less room.

Some Youtube travel nerd recommends a backpack with no wheels. Sorry; no. My backpack is my personal item. Also, if I have a second backpack on my back, how will I carry the first one? You want one bag on your back and another one on wheels.

When we travel, I take a PC and some camera stuff. That means I have to carry my backpack everywhere. I can’t leave expensive stuff in a $40 hotel room safe, and I can’t travel without a computer and camera.

The alternative is to keep using my giant bag, continue to avoid putting valuable things in it, and hope the airline and TSA employees don’t steal too much.

If I do that, I risk finding myself in a foreign country with no clean clothes. That actually happened to me when I was a kid. My mother had to take me to stores in Luxembourg and buy me tight clothes for European kids with little stick arms and legs.

I am practicing filling my wife’s carry-on with my stuff. If we can work it out so we still have a fair amount of junk with us when we travel, maybe I’ll get a smaller bag for myself.

I want to go to Europe this year because this may be the last time we get to travel without a baby or a heavily-pregnant woman. It amazes me that people manage to travel with babies. I can’t see us doing it in another country. Maybe in the US. It sounds unbelievably difficult and expensive, and no baby is going to benefit from foreign travel. He or she would just make things worse for us. I don’t think travel does anything for kids until they’re at least 8.

Make that 10.

It’s hard enough, slowing down for my wife. We take forever to leave our hotel rooms in the morning. She can’t walk up hills like I can. She has to sit down a lot. Imagine adding two tiny wives that aren’t potty-trained, can’t walk, and can’t read.

I see how being orphans is going to impact our future. If we had parents or even useful brothers or sisters, we could leave kids with them.

Both of us should have Global Entry by the time we try to travel, so there’s that. On the way home from Mexico, I had to wait in the long line with my wife and the suspicious peasants.

It’s all up to the Greeks. Either we’re going to Greece, or it’s, “Hello, Gatlinburg.”

Go Back to Bedford-Stuyvesant and Live the Good Life

Is what I’m about to tell you a testimony to God’s willingness to grant requests? You decide.

Lately my wife and I have been praying for God to move his children to safe places. I ask him to put us in places where we are the dominant culture. I ask him to enlarge the borders of these places so we won’t be crowded. I ask him to take the homes, buildings, businesses, and wealth away from the Yeshua-haters who live in these places, drive them out, and give these things to people who love him. I ask him to keep catastrophe away from these places. I say something like, “If disasters have to come, let them fall on places where you are openly hated.”

Today I saw a really funny article from NBC News, which is under Satan’s control. The headline: “They came for Florida’s sun and sand. They got soaring costs and a culture war.”

The article is a pure propaganda piece, intended to drive people away from Florida. I think the facts asserted in the article are probably true, but there is no effort to present obvious facts which, to many people, would provide incentive to move to Florida.

The unmentioned facts are obviously obvious to many, many Americans, because Florida is filling up very quickly, and the states that send the most refugees are New York and Illinois.

Here is what NBC wants you to think:

1. Floridians are physical threats to black people.

2. Florida schools censor the truth regarding issues like slavery and the pro-perversion movement.

3. Housing in Florida is too expensive for most people.

4. You won’t be able to afford home insurance in Florida.

5. People in Florida argue constantly about politics.

6. Traffic in Florida is unbearable.

7. Because of our gun laws, Florida is full of armed crazies itching to shoot just about anyone, including enlightened newcomers from workers’ paradises like Brooklyn and Chicago.

8. Hurricanes make human existence in Florida unsustainable.

I was thrilled when I saw the article. I hope every leftist who reads it thinks it’s the gospel truth.

Well, that’s not what I hope, because leftists hate the gospel and consider it to be a collection of sexist, racist, patriarchal myths.

They interviewed people who moved to South Florida, of all places. Of course they hate it. South Florida is for Cubans, period. It’s very unwelcoming to people who don’t come from Latin America. Even Cubans complain about this and move because of it. It’s also home to what may be the rudest people in America. New Yorkers seem nice compared to Miamians, and New Yorkers are pretty awful.

In South Florida, you absolutely have to speak Spanish in order to experience the normal benefits Americans expect in other places. The bad traffic has topped national rankings. The politicians are so corrupt, the area rivals Baltimore.

What do you get if you move from good old Queens to Miami? Warm weather and topless beaches. Northerners love beaches. It’s like a sickness with them. When I think of vacation destinations, I think of the alps. I think of Israel and Greece. I think of France and its culture. Northeasterners think about sand, sunburn, and drinks concocted for the effeminate.

Northerners move to Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties, thinking they’ll sit on the beach every weekend, blissfully drunk and stoned, surrounded by loose women. Then they move, and they find themselves in ticky-tacky condos and tract houses miles from the water, surrounded by people who don’t want them there, and when they go to the beaches, they see that New York’s beaches are much, much nicer.

Long Island beaches have cool, crystal-clear water. Everything isn’t flat. The sun is milder. The sand is finer. Most people speak English.

The fishing is better up north because Cubans aren’t constantly violating every fishing regulation known to man. Even Bahamians complain about Miami Cubans destroying the fishing.

They interviewed a guy named Dr. Louis Rotkowitz, MD. Right away, you can see how fair NBC was. They picked a Jewish doctor from Queens. Total DeSantis supporter, that guy.

Rotkowitz is apparently a minor public figure, or at least he wants to be. He has a blog with his name in the URL, and he seems to get interviewed a lot. He has been in other news stories in the past. He calls himself a COVID survivor, which is a lot like saying you’re a flu survivor. Not the kind of thing that gets you a quilt.

Check this out:

Along with the rising costs, Rotkowitz said he generally felt unsafe in the state between the erratic traffic — which resulted in a number of his patients being injured by vehicles — and a state law passed in 2023 that allowed people to carry a concealed weapon without a license.

“Everyone is walking around with guns there,” he said. “I consider myself a conservative guy, but if you want to carry a gun you should be licensed, there should be some sort of process.”

1. The traffic is definitely bad in South Florida, and it’s dangerous largely because there are so many Latins there, but anyone who has been to New York City has to marvel at any person who thinks New York’s traffic is safer. New Yorkers drive like Italians.

2. There was already a law that allowed unlicensed people to carry guns. It’s called the Constitution of the United States of America. Scroll down to Amendment 2. Laws requiring firearm licenses are unconstitutional, and laws banning concealed carry are actually anomalous. And thank goodness no one in New York, Chicago, DC, or Baltimore carries a gun.

3. He considers himself a conservative guy. If so, he’s the only one. A person with his name contributed to a bunch of Democrat campaigns, including that of Bill de Blasio. He reminds me of the liars you see in Internet comments. When a comment starts with, “I’m a lifelong Republican, but…”, you know you’re hearing from a clumsy Marxist mole. Rotkowitz identifies himself on Facebook as an activist, and his wife is a teacher. Do you think he’s conservative? Have you ever met a conservative who calls himself an activist?

NBC posted a quotation from a lady who claimed evil Trumpers stole her Hillary sign in 2016. Does that sound plausible to you? All over the web, you can see videos of Democrats stealing Trump signs. Good luck finding similar videos of conservatives. Such things are extremely rare, and NBC knows it.

I’m going to repost a photo from the article. It’s definitely fair use. You won’t believe it. It was taken at the courthouse where Trump is being tried over classified documents. It shows several non-black people, who appear to be Latins, appearing to menace a black man. Two are wearing evil flag-based clothing. It looks like they’re about to give him a beating (which did not happen). Check it out.

Totally Typical Florida Racism

Wait…is that Rodney King? I thought he died from an overdose in 2012.

It doesn’t show the Antifa people who did beat police in Miami. I wonder why that is. They could have taken a photo in any restaurant in my county and shown the huge percentage of interracial families.

I’m not sure how making Latins look violent aligns with NBC’s anti-white ethos.

The article makes Florida sound like hell, and I could not be happier. I hope a hundred million Northerners forward it to their friends and relatives. I hope every recipient believes NBC and strikes Florida off his list of retirement destinations. Please, please, please. Let it happen.

Christians need a state of their own, and if God will give us Florida or even most of it, I’ll be overjoyed.

Personally, I think a lot about Tennessee, but maybe Florida is the place to be. Only God knows. I hope with all my hoping power that God is the reason leftists are leaving.

It’s hard to describe the pleasure of living in a conservative, Christian-heavy county in a state governed by Ron DeSantis. I’ve told my wife she’s spoiled. She hasn’t seen the real America yet. People here are warm, kind, and patient. They make Texans look like New Yorkers. What a privilege it is to live here.

No, wait. Not a privilege. Definitely not. It’s terrible. Like having shingles. Stay away. They won’t even let BLM block streets and beat motorists here. What kind of state is that? Florida made it illegal to hire illegal aliens. These wonderful, diverse criminals will have to go elsewhere to enrich the culture with burglary, murder, rape, squatting, drug dealing, and kidnapping. It’s appalling.

At least two Florida sheriffs have held press conferences in which they encouraged citizens to shoot burglars. How can we live in a place where burglars have to risk their lives in order to make a living and supply their families with crack and meth? Stay in New York, where you can be viciously beaten by the same mugger twice in one day.

We have a new law allowing sheriffs to arrest squatters immediately. How backward we are. Where are illegal immigrants supposed to stay if they can’t move into our houses, have us arrested for protesting, steal and sell all our stuff, rip out the walls without consequences, and charge us to move out? No, no. New York is where you want to be.

Incidentally, and more seriously, I don’t recommend listening to those sheriffs. They are fine public servants with great attitudes, but you always, always, always let the police do the shooting if at all possible. Hide with your family and some rifles and wait, if you can. The police can kill 50 burglars (or innocent people, for that matter) on your property without exposing you to any kind of liability. If you decide to shoot, you take a chance on being sued or even charged by the feds, who jump for Joe Biden, not your conservative mayor or governor.

Just a tip from a lawyer.

It’s also best to refrain from shooting anyone who has not entered your home. A dead body in your foyer is strong evidence of self-defense. A dead body in your yard could cause you problems.

You do what you can, under the circumstances. It’s always best to run instead of fighting, and it’s better to let the police do the fighting. It’s too bad George Zimmerman didn’t have time to wait for the police. He was completely innocent, but a Florida prosecutor perjured herself in order to railroad him.

Anyway, I support NBC this time. Florida is horrible. Stay away. I encourage Northerners who have been here for decades to pull up stakes and get out while they still can.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord. Please, please continue.

Senile, Pandering President Outdoes Himself

I wrote about Biden and his wife banning religious-themed designs from their silly White House Easter egg roll. Commenter Juan Paxety noted that Biden had also proclaimed Easter and Passover the “Transgender Day of Visibility.”

This year Easter and Passover come more or less at the same time.

So what is transgender visibility? It sounds like perverts are supposed to go out in public and make a show of themselves. If this is the case, then every day of the year is the Transgender Day of Visibility, because perverts love showing off. In fact, many of them get sexually aroused by showing off.

It sounds like a day designed to offend decent people.

Organizations that pretend to be churches are having special events to celebrate sexual perversion today. Who do you turn to when churches belong to Satan?

Fake Christians who support perversion always do what their father does: they make false accusations. “Devil” means “slanderer,” which means Satan is a gaslighter. He wrongs us and then accuses us of being the wrongdoers.

Fake churches are calling God’s clear position on perversion “hate,” and they are patting themselves on the back. “Hate doesn’t live here,” and so on. They are demonizing people who are trying to give self-destructive people the helpful information they need.

“Hate” may keep your confused son from castrating himself and making himself sterile and unmarriageable. It may keep your confused daughter from letting a monster in scrubs slice her healthy breasts off, skin her arm, use the skin to create a fake penis that doesn’t work, and then skin her leg to cover the arm. That’s hate?

Marriage is good. Reproduction is good. Knowing God is good. Let a deranged surgeon mutilate you sexually, and you are likely to miss out on all three of these things.

Homosexual men who call themselves trans women have worse problems than mutilated girls, who can hold onto their uteruses, deliver by Caesarean section, and have relationships with other lesbians. Typically, mutilated men have sick dreams of being wooed and wed by tall, hunky, heterosexual men who look like Chippendale dancers. In reality, heterosexual men find them just as sexually repulsive as they do homosexual men who still have their organs. “Trans women” have to settle for other people who have let Satan turn them into disturbing oddities.

Finding people of your own sex sexually repulsive is not bigotry. It’s not something learned. It’s good and normal. It’s an essential part of heterosexuality. Attraction is not based on decisions. It’s based on natural inclinations with biological causes.

Males treated with puberty blockers also fail to grow to normal adult heights. They tend to be tiny and weak. Smaller than most adult women. Noted hormonal trainwreck “Jazz Jennings” (pseudonym) is about a foot shorter than his normal brothers. He is much shorter than his mother. He has friends in the same boat.

Dating is hard for everyone. Imagine what it’s like when you’re a man with a huge wound where your reproductive organs used to be. You’re only going to attract fetishists. Dream of Brad Pitt and Chris Hemsworth all you want. Fantasize about firemen and lumberjacks. You’re going to get sad kooks with demonic preferences that are all about uncommitted sex and have nothing to do with love. You’re going to end up with rejects, if you find anyone at all.

I know someone who was approached by a mutilated pervert on a dating site. The pervert said he wanted to show this person his “beautiful butterfly,” referring to the grotesque surgical creation between his legs. It’s hard to describe how the phrase “beautiful butterfly” hits a heterosexual man in this context. The revulsion is difficult to put into words.

Here’s something most people don’t understand about disgust. It depends on appeal. For example, not all bad smells are disgusting. The worst ones combine unpleasant odors with odors we find appealing. Human feces smell a lot like food, and that’s why the smell of feces is so repugnant.

A man with a hole carved in his crotch is extremely disgusting because normal men are drawn to female genitalia. A mutilated male combines some of the attraction of female genitalia with the strong sexual repulsion of another man’s naked crotch.

What’s worse? A pile of cat poop all by itself, or a pile of cat poop on top of a beautiful cake?

When I’m out on my farm, I walk by pile after pile of cow manure, and it doesn’t bother me at all. Put one on top of a pizza, and my reaction will be a lot different.

The demoniac who approached my friend was completely unable to empathize with normal men. He could not imagine the bone-deep disgust his filthy remark engendered. He thought he was a big temptation. A seductress. In reality, he made other men want to heave.

If you don’t want to hear more about artificial vaginas, stop reading now. They never heal. They don’t clean themselves. They have to be pried open over and over, because like all unnatural wounds, they try to close up and heal. They fill up with bacteria and fungus, and they stink.

You can find perverts themselves complaining about these things online. This information doesn’t come from the pope or the Southern Baptist Convention.

As for women, they lose all appeal to heterosexual men. They lose their figures. They lose all the sexual functions of breasts. They lose the ability to breastfeed. They look like they’ve been in house fires, because they are covered in skin grafts. If you’re a girl, and you go this route, you face a life of lesbian relationships, at best. If you’ve had a phalloplasty, most lesbians will reject you.

Lesbians have bad relationships. I should add that. They have the highest rate of domestic violence of any type of couples. They break up frequently. Their relationships are usually short. Women don’t get along well with each other, and lesbianism doesn’t change that.

All these things are true, yet today, a president who lies and says he’s a Christian used two events that are sacred to Christians and Jews to encourage sick people to taunt normal people with their revolting and tragic mental problems.

God hates homosexuality. He calls it abomination. He doesn’t call rape or murder abomination. Think about that. It’s a very serious thing.

He also calls pride abomination, along with lying and rebellion.

Leftists who hate Christianity keep trying to give Christians Christianity lessons. They keep telling us it’s all about being nice and refraining from calling out sin. Not true. Jesus hit people with a whip. He called religious leaders children of Satan. He called them snakes. He criticized sinners in public.

Telling your effeminate son he’s wonderful and dressing him up as a Disney princess is not love, any more than telling a heroin addict he’s wonderful, and giving him more heroin, is love. Having your daughter’s breasts cut off because she’s going through a short phase is not love. It’s abomination. It has consequences.

This stuff doesn’t work. It doesn’t actually prevent suicide. It makes it more common. It doesn’t lead to fulfillment. It leads to loneliness and rejection. It ruins people’s relationships with the Holy Spirit. It takes people to hell if they never repent.

Nonetheless, our senile, malicious, spineless, corrupt, greedy, unintelligent, lie-loving president is using our White House and two sacred holidays to promote it.

What comes after this? What is worse? Will he have naked trans nuts sacrifice pigs to Baal in the Rose Garden on Christmas Day? It will be hard to top this. If we’re not at the end of the age, we must be very, very close, because Satan is running out of gimmicks.

What other days will Biden proclaim? National Incest Day? National Stealing Day? I forgot…now that Democrats don’t prosecute thieves, every day is National Stealing Day.

I’ve said this many times: if it’s this bad today, what will it be like in 6 months? It’s like there is a Moore’s Law for abomination and pride.

Uncle Sam’s Brief Tryst with God Comes to an End

Easter should be the biggest holiday of the year, and it should not be called “Easter.” “Easter” is the name of a false goddess, which means it is named after an irredeemable creature that will end up in the lake of fire, which is the spirit world’s toilet. Easter is really Passover, and we should call it that.

We get all excited about Christmas, when we celebrate the birth of a person who had done nothing yet to save us. If Yeshua had ascended to heaven as a baby, everyone reading this blog would be on the way to hell. We should celebrate the day when he allowed blaspheming Jewish leaders to have him murdered by godless pagans. That’s when everything changed.

How do Christians celebrate Passover? On the wrong day, we feed our kids chocolate rabbit idols and give them dyed boiled eggs which aren’t good for much of anything.

One of the childhood memories which most reminds me of the love my mother felt for me involves Passover. When my sister woke up on “Easter” Sunday, each of us would find a basket full of synthetic grass, containing lots of candy. It was a wonderful gesture in some ways, but it’s sad that the celebration was so soiled with paganism.

At our White House, presidents acknowledge Passover with an egg roll. Not the good kind you eat with duck sauce and Chinese mustard. The kind that involves rolling dyed boiled eggs around on the grass.

I don’t know much about egg rolling. I didn’t hear about it until I was an adult. Maybe it’s a Northern thing. It seems really stupid.

This year, Joe Biden and his “doctor” wife, who has the same weak doctorate Bill Cosby has (Ed.D.), are hosting an egg roll that comes with an egg-decorating contest. Kids are encouraged to send their designs in, and winning designs, which will probably feature homosexual themes and themes supporting invasion by illegal aliens, will be painted on real boiled eggs by “artists.” I put “artists” in quotation marks because we’re all familiar with the type of people leftists honor as artists.

If Michelangelo were alive today, he would be doing commercial illustration. The art world would crush him.

Notably absent from the egg art submissions: Yeshua and all mention of religion. Joe and Jill have banned religion from the event. An event which exists only because of Yeshua.

To me, this looks like the day. It looks like the day our leftist establishment signs the papers divorcing America’s left from the loving God who rules the universe and who let his innocent son be tortured to death by blasphemers in order to save leftists and everyone else who applies.

Why hasn’t the tribulation already started?

Biden is still supporting Israel, so we can’t say nothing he does pleases God, but he is supporting Israel reluctantly while excoriating Israel’s Israel-first Prime Minister behind closed doors. Biden is sending Israel limited amounts of weaponry in order to keep Jewish donations flowing into his campaign and prevent Jewish voters who are still deluded by left-wing propaganda from voting for the party that actually supports them.

I hate this place. I hate the world. My life here is very, very pleasant, but I feel like I vacationed in a nice resort in Mexico and then wasn’t allowed to fly home.

I am in a tiny minority of people who know the Holy Spirit. I am surrounded by bona fide mental cases who pushed us to the point where Victoria’s Secret stores put up huge photos of male perverts in ladies’ underwear. I have a demented, warlike, unintelligent, utterly dishonest president who is immersing us in a war between two far-off nations involved in a dispute that has little to do with America and which is likely to blow up into a global war. A huge percentage of the youth of my once-Christian nation are soft, self-obsessed, mindless perverts who think Christianity is the world’s greatest problem. The streets of cities around the globe keep filling up with proud Jew-haters, and Israel is being tarred as genocidal after being attacked by murderous sexual deviants who fired guns and shoved knives up the vaginas of Jewish women and raped and castrated Jewish men.

I would like to be elsewhere.

Insanity used to be exceptional. Now most people are insane. I live in a world where I have to humor nearly everyone. I have to be careful about choosing the people to whom I tell the truth. It’s like living with my dad while he was dying from dementia, except there are billions of demented dads.

My dad used to get angry and rant after his mind started to fail. He did this when he was young, too, but when he was young, he had a better understanding of what he was saying. When my dad started losing his faculties, and he made wild, irrational remarks, I told friends it was like being rained on. You don’t get mad at the rain. You don’t argue with the rain. You keep your mouth shut. You wait for the rain to stop. When the rain stops, you move on with your day. These days, reading news sites and watching videos of famous people who are generally regarded as competent is like enduring brief rain showers. They can’t be corrected, so there is no point in responding. Their inane babbling can’t be taken seriously. You endure it or get away from it, and you move on.

When my dad said nutty things, he could not help it. I tried not to take it personally. The leftist kooks who rage these days don’t have the excuse of deteriorating gray matter, but I still try not to take their ravings personally, because taking them personally serves no purpose.

Jon Stewart just did a show in which he accused Donald Trump of fraud because Trump said his properties were worth a lot, while Letitia James noted that Trump’s estimates far outstripped government tax assessments. Stewart really did this, even though every person who owns a house or building knows that tax assessments are about taxable value, which is totally different from market value. Blogger Tim Pool noted that Stewart asked for, and received, over $17 million for a condo with a taxable value of under $500,000. Stewart’s response was to flip out and mention Trump’s other alleged misdeeds, which are unrelated to James’s frivolous, soon-to-be reversed case. He didn’t even try to be rational, because, as Pool says, “Orange man bad.”

Without reaching the question of why we look to professional clowns for serious political analysis, I have to note that this is the kind of sophistry we have to listen to now. We get it from overpaid TV jesters, and we also get it from judges, prosecutors, and pundits who know better.

Trump was convicted of a crime for negotiating. He negotiated legally. Every appraisal ever done in the history of the world was subjective. There is no such thing as an objectively correct value for anything. Like all borrowers, Trump gave optimistic appraisals to banks, and he invited them to do their own due diligence, which they all did, confirming that his assets were valuable enough to serve as collateral.

Every person who has ever paid capital gains on the sale of inherited property has given the IRS a subjective appraisal of the value at the time the property was obtained. There is no other way to do it. Every person who has had a property appraised before buying it paid for a subjective appraisal. Every person who has bought a property has given the seller a subjective evaluation in the form of an offer. This is how commerce works. There is no way around it.

Steward is too crazy now to see the obvious, and he is too small to admit he’s wrong. Worst of all, these days, these flaws make him normal.

The James case is exposing a lot of celebrities as financial imbeciles. They come by money very, very easily, so apparently, many of them never learn how to manage it. They say Floyd Mayweather put $27 million in his checking account and left it there. Apparently, Stewart and many other celebrities who back James are about as sophisticated as a barely-literate boxer.

People and nations are now calling Israel genocidal based on “facts” cited by Hamas, a known terrorist organization which has done nothing but lie since before it was created. Can we get any crazier? Hamas says tens of thousands of civilians have been killed by the IDF. This is the same organization that begs for ceasefires as soon as it starts to lose, receives them, and violates them almost immediately. The same organization that puts paramilitary installations in hospitals, schools, and mosques, claims they aren’t there, and then calls Israel genocidal when it takes them over, goes inside, and shoots video that proves Hamas lied.

When hundreds of millions, or billions, of people believe Hamas without investigating, and they persecute Jews who are not Israelis or IDF personnel, you know the world has gone insane. When Ivy League schools, which have historically been criticized as Jew-dominated because Jews have done so well in them, are aiding in the libeling of Israel and the persecution of paying Jewish students, you can’t reasonably say we live in a world that is substantially different from a mental asylum.

Last night my wife dreamed she was in Zambia. The skies were full of fighter jets and some kind of advanced craft that was much faster and more powerful than jets. The jets and spacecraft were destroying houses. They were ripping corrugated metal roofs off.

My wife and her relatives had a house of thick concrete or stone, including the roof. The jets and spacecraft couldn’t damage it much.

We both saw it as a Passover dream. God was releasing his vengeance on the world, and only a few people had protection.

Demons and fallen angels aren’t the only spirits that kill people and destroy. God sometimes sends his own spirits to punish human beings. The big difference is that you can’t fight spirits sent by God. They’re not under our authority. We can’t cast them out or bind them.

I wish God would go ahead and pop the boil. Let’s get it over with. I want anyone who can be saved to be saved while we wait, but this world is nuts, and I don’t want to be here when I’m 90.
