The Morning Report — 10/31/23
Good morning, kids. Yesterday, I was forwarded a text message from a friend which included a few other friends that was a petition from the ADL (hold your laughter for a few moments) to "Urge the US Department of Education to Make Colleges Safe from Antisemitism." My friends, who I have known for years and still love dearly are blind, lifelong liberals. Mercifully, despite living in an illusory past of Democrat = good and Republican = evil, as well as swallowing the Trump hatred and the usual propaganda hook, line and sinker, they are not completely zombified Maoists.
In all of that time, I have tread very carefully, as mercifully the have, in not broaching the subject of politics. They more or less know where I stand. But that said, I have to wonder if they are approaching a tipping point as it were, or will it take a bit of a gentle nudge in the ribs – which in the interest of being cruel to be kind would be a swift kick in the ass – to wake the hell up and smell the damn coffee, if not the "covfefe." I sense an opportunity to do a bit of good old fashioned 1960s consciousness-raising. The idea is to show them the dots and let them do the connecting.
For sure, the image is a hell of a lot clearer than that. It's in your face and it's ugly:
Democrat infighting over Israel threatened to turn physical Friday, after Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) repeatedly called Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) “cowardly” in an interview and said, “We can handle it like gentlemen or we can get into something else.”
Carson was responding to a post on X by Gottheimer where he slammed 15 Democrat colleagues who voted against or “present” on a House resolution expressing support for Israel as “despicable.”
Carson’s threat drew criticism from prominent Jewish progressives. Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, posted:
It’s inexcusable for any member of Congress to threaten a colleague, & especially egregious that @RepAndreCarson is threatening a Jewish member for speaking out at a moment when we’re seeing a massive spike in antisemitism. What’s the point? Does he think it’s productive to intimidate @RepJoshG?
Gottheimer later sought to tamp down the tensions, posting that he was thankful for colleagues who did support the bipartisan resolution and that “it’s more important than ever for us to talk to each other”
Andre Carson is an ape in a three-piece full on Farrakkkan acolyte Jew- and America-hater. This is known. Here's his rap sheet courtesy of Discover the Networks. That he was elected, (or given the nature of Democrat election fraud installed) at all speaks volumes as to the state of the Democrat Party and sadly the mindset of far too many American blacks, thanks in no small part to the poisonous rot of Jew-hatred they inherited from their Democrat-enslaved ancestors. But that's a whole other story that deserves to be told in depth.
Sorry, Josh Gottheimer, but your and your Jewish Democrat colleagues and constituents' chickens are coming home to roost, as a certain apostate "reverend" we all know too well would say. You looked the other way at what your party has done to this nation, and what your colleagues have said and done both privately and out in the open. Yet for the interest of your own political expediency, you looked the other way. Maybe your calculus was like Franz von Papen in Germany circa 1933, who thought he and his ilk would use Adolf Hitler like a puppet to gain power for themselves. For those who don't know the history, von Papen wound up with what he thought were the marionette strings around his own neck.
A Nevada man was arrested last week in connection to allegedly issuing ominous and antisemitic threats to a U.S. senator in the wake of Hamas’ bloody terror attack on Israel, according to a criminal complaint.
John Anthony Miller, 43, allegedly began making the calls to the unnamed female senator on Oct. 11, four days after Israel’s war with Hamas began. […] While the senator is not named in the complaint, Sen. Jacky Rosen is Jewish, and Miller’s threats repeatedly seek to tie the lawmaker’s support for Israel to what he says is her Jewish background.
. . . “All these fg lies is in your fucking hands.. and I’m gonna fg see you soon,” Miller allegedly warned. “You just fg woken up a motherfg monster, you fg piece of s, un-human, subhuman, you’re vermin… we’re gonna finish what Hitler started.” . . .
. . . Miller also left a voicemail on October 19 in which he asked if the Jewish lawmaker had Israeli settler relatives. “…450 thousand of ‘em are American and are able to co-commit war crimes and come back and forth. Huh? Yeah, I-I-I pretty sure she is. Pretty sure she is. And she ain’t gon do a damn thing,” Miller allegedly said, per Fox News. “She lets her own family members kill these Pe-Palestinians in the West Bank. The Christians in the West Bank. Senator, I’m sorry to say, but yah know what, you’re a piece of [expletive] and you’re gonna burn in [expletive]ing [expletive] for your [expletive]ing crimes.”
I assume Jacky Rosen will say something like "Oh, now you! You precocious little rapscallion!" or else tell us that this goof is an Ultra-MAGA extremist Republican. Since we have yet to learn this psycho's party affiliation, I can only assume he's a Democrat.
Regardless, it's time for Gottheimer, Rosen and all the rest to get their collective fucking pinhead out of the oven and shut off the gas. Doing a Rodney King impression ain't gonna cut it, sunshine. Carson and all the others have taken over and I've got some news for you. Once he and his ilk truly gain absolute power, the first people they're going to come after are you and every other Jew in the Democrat Party, as well as the now completely Marxist-subsumed ADL. Gottheimer might be a lost soul and beyond salvation. But perhaps, just maybe, the orgasmic glee with which Carson and all the others in the Squad, or more accurately DEATH Squad are cheering the savage bloodbath in Israel and the baying for blood of Jews over here is finally a wakeup call.
We may now be experiencing a tectonic shift of major magnitude, namely the exodus of Jews from liberalism. The triggering event is the Hamas savagery on Oct 7th in Israel and, of equal importance, the support of many Americans for this barbarism. These two events are a double wakeup call for many American Jews -- who could imagine anybody celebrating the beheading of babies, nor thousands of Americans, often at elite universities, denouncing Israel as an apartheid, genocidal colonial regime?
Anti-Semitism per se is not the issue. Such hostility is part of American life but, thankfully, it usually involve isolated incidents such as defacing synagogues or assaulting Jews dressed in Hasidic garb. The very worst is shooting Jews at prayer, typically by mentally ill loners. . .
. . . One highly-publicized response to events has been the threats of billionaire Jews such as Ronald Lauder and Leslie Wexner to stop funding their alma maters over campus anti-Semitism. Thousands of other Jews have also undoubtedly closed their checkbooks in disgust. But, as I have argued elsewhere, the anti-Israel vitriol will not cease. Billions in donations will be raised elsewhere, and no school can end the hatred of Jews. Nevertheless, these rich Jews are sending a message whose deeper unease is far more consequential than a closed checkbook; eyes are opening.
Less visible in this tectonic shift is a shocker -- Jews are buying guns. Lots. A recent NBC news story had the headline "'Not Safe Anywhere Now:' American Jews Are Flocking to Gun Training Classes.” Now Jews in cities with large Jewish populations were suddenly inundating gun stores and shooting ranges, all saying, “I never believed I would do this.” The gun-enthusiast website Reload told of a Jewish gun training organization that recently received about 638 calls on its hotline about joining over a five-day period while for the entire past years, the figure was 950. Nor is packing heat limited to cities with large Jewish populations. In West Texas, an area hardly at risk from Hamas, Jews are suddenly arming themselves and practicing their marksmanship.
Those unfamiliar with the political views of Jews may not fully grasp the shift. Guns were not previously on the agenda to combat anti-Semitism. . . Now, buying a gun is not just adding one more item to defending against anti-Semitism; it is an admission that the “old way of thinking” no longer applies. And many Jews will do the once unthinkable: admit this new reality in public. . .
. . . Uncertainties aside, the likely outcome will be Jews moving rightwards. Almost certainly Jews will lose their enthusiasm for open borders given that millions of new arrivals will likely be Muslims. Jews can see what has happened in Europe as large numbers of Muslims enter European countries -- anti-Jewish violence increases. They can also see this at home as Muslim immigrants gain an electoral foothold in Minnesota and Michigan (see “the Squad )” . . .
. . . The shift away from the Left that began in Israel decades ago may have finally arrived in the U.S. This exodus is particularly likely as the Democratic Party increasingly embraces defunding the police, ending cash bail, hostility to meritocracy, celebrating every sexual proclivity imaginable, a contempt for traditional morality and all else anathema to most Jews. When today’s American Jews look at Israel, they see that, in the final analysis, endless talk and good intentions are insufficient; better to have a gun and know how to use it. And Jews are good learners.
That remains to be seen. Something-something, learn from the past, something-something condemned to repeat it? This is a central theme of the holiday of Passover. It is not merely to remember and commemorate the exodus from our enslavement and persecution in Egypt with the help the Almighty, but to commemorate and remember the fact that "In every generation, they rise up against us."
Of course the closest thing to Judaism for the Josh Gottheimers and Jacky Rosens in this country is a plate of matzah ball soup, a pastrami sandwich and watching Yentl. Or more likely Annie Hall.
