Re: The new status quo, per Vance

Jesse Waters is convinced that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent, so Israel's supposed "spying" --- which in reality is nothing more than coordination between allied intelligence services --- fits his narrative perfectly.

As for Israel's "freelancing," one would think that Hezbollah was shooting its missiles into New Mexico rather than northern Israel. Ironically though, if that were the case, Hezbollah would be promptly wiped off this Earth, no matter the collateral damage.

Slowly, inexorably, we're seeing a change in President Trump's stance vis a vis the Israelis and Iranians. He appears to be distancing himself from Israel, positioning the U.S. as an "honest broker," utilizing rhetoric similar to the old "cycle of violence" crap we've heard from the Democrats for years; in effect drawing an equivalence to the actions of both sides.

But when a terrorist group and the criminal regime that backs it attacks a peace-seeking democracy, there can be no question of moral equivalence in that nation's efforts to respond.

This is most likely going to get very nasty in the days ahead; I pray President Trump has the stomach to see this absolutely vital struggle to a successful conclusion.

So long as the Iranian Foreign Legion, a.k.a. Hezbollah, continues to be armed and operational, Iran --- however weakened --- continues to hold a gun to Israel's head. Their goal is to make parts of Israel uninhabitable, and if they're allowed to succeed the great damage Iran suffered during Epic Fury will be considered by the surviving Mullahs to be a price well paid.

A similar thing is happening on the fringes of both political parties:
anti-semitism, usually disguised as anti-Zionism, but increasingly more overt and crass (check out the "gas the Jews" chants) is no longer seen as a beyond the pale, disqualifying sin; but instead, a political peccadillo that needs to be tolerated for the sake of "unity." Principle, not to mention simple decency, are out the window.

This is a very dangerous development, and not just for Jews.

You might have noticed that V.P. Vance never utilizes the conciliatory term "Judeo-Christian" when referring to Western values the way Mike Huckabee --- just as devout a Christian --- consistently does. Huckabee stresses the common roots of Christianity and Judaism, and while it's true that they differ in their view of the nature of Christ's existence on earth and his ministry, it is possible for both religions to acknowledge those differences yet still revere his word and appreciate his effect upon humanity. As a committed Jew, that is what I have always done.
But I fear that Mr. Vance does not see the necessity, nor the desirability of such a conciliation, even in the face of the disturbingly hateful events we have witnessed in the last few years. That is a jarring worry.

In the interest of the "proportional response" concept that the Obama/Biden people have so long revered, I suggest that Prime Minister Netanyahu declare that Israel will launch no more than 300 missiles or drones at Iran. Now that's a precisely proportional response. Let's see how well Iran's defense system works.

Re: Voter Fraud? Nothing to See Here

Ed_Zuckerbrod — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 20:33:15 -0000

I believe voting is a serious, even solemn act of civil commitment and cooperation. Even during a pandemic, it must not be done in the same fashion as one would mail in box tops for a prize. Even then, the company would require a receipt. Less identification was required to cast a vote. And, for your information, I was not listening to anyone. Like most conservatives, I make up my own mind. Unquestioning obedience is the province of the Left these days.

Re: Voter Fraud? Nothing to See Here

Ed_Zuckerbrod — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 18:53:23 -0000

Because if this sort of rule changing for the purpose of abetting fraud is allowed to continue, there will never be another reasonably honest national election in this country again. In that case, the only possible result will be another civil war, and all the destruction that entails. And I didn't need Donald Trump to tell me so !

Re: Did the Democrats Steal the Presidential Election?

Ed_Zuckerbrod — Sat, 16 Jan 2021 06:17:20 -0000

I was a few weeks shy of my sixth birthday when, in 1960, John Kennedy "defeated" Richard Nixon in an election seemingly fraught with cheating. If, in the years since, I had a dime for each time I've heard that "for the good of the nation, Nixon declined to challenge the results," I could retire to a private island. Perhaps Mr. Nixon's decision was a far greater offense to the welfare of the country than his participation in the Watergate cover-up.

Re: Donald Trump, Statesman

Ed_Zuckerbrod — Fri, 08 Jan 2021 20:01:09 -0000

It is vital that history recognizes the tainted and illegitimate nature of any election that relies on mass mail-in voting. Casting a vote is an act of civil participation and identification. It requires the commensurate degree of effort and respect. It must not be treated as no more solemn than the mailing of an application for a monetary rebate. That lack of care is an invitation to fraud. All of those who sought to save the Trump presidency should dedicate themselves to revealing every detail of how this theft occurred, and who is responsible. It will take time. Election reform is the only issue that should matter in the near term, for if our elections are permitted to be turned into permanent shams, chaos and civil war can only be the end result. Joe Biden may occupy the White House, but until these issues are resolved, he is nothing more than a squatter.

Re: Raffensperger on line 1

How many times in the last four years has Trump told the spot-on truth, but has muddied the argument by his awkward syntax (see: having his "wires tapped".) Alas our president, effective executive though he undoubtedly is, is not a truly articulate man. And the off-putting way in which he sometimes conveys his thoughts has more than once undermined a clearly cogent argument. The Democrats have engineered this fraud brilliantly. Now it will be for the rest of us to determine whether our comfort is worth accepting banana republic status, the ultimate refutation of American exceptionalism.

I'm not sure which is more disheartening: the knowledge that we've reached such levels of corruption that we can no longer conduct a reasonably fair election? Or, alternatively, that we've reached that Critical Mass of Morons among our population who are so easily snowed by a phony, transparent liar like Biden. Take your pick; equally depressing.

Re: Ocasio-Cortez denied seat on powerful House committee

Ed_Zuckerbrod — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 07:32:38 -0000

Precisely. Kathleen Rice, former Nassau County, NY District Attorney; supposed friend and ally of law enforcement, will nevertheless be a good liberal soldier and support any hare-brained scheme the Dem leadership comes up with. That is, if she wants to remain Congresswoman Rice. In that respect AOC is more honest. Genuine BS, instead of synthetic.

Re: AOC goes three-for-three

Ed_Zuckerbrod — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 07:19:17 -0000

Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx produce a tremendous amount of the total votes in a NY State Democrat primary. AOC will do very well tin those boroughs. Taking down Schumer in the PRIMARY is very doable. Then he'd have to decide whether or not to run as an independent, thus splitting the Dem vote. Republicans, for a change, need to run a SERIOUS senate candidate in 2022, not just the usual sacrificial lamb Perhaps Lee Zeldin or Elise Stefanik.

Re: Michigan Dem threatens Trumpers

Ed_Zuckerbrod — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 13:41:37 -0000

I believe there are way too many people on the Left determined to provoke another civil war for you to be anything other than correct. The only question is whether it will be triggered by those in defense of a sham, fraudulent election, or reluctantly accepted by those who refuse to meekly acquiesce. In either case, the ultimate occupant of the White House really won't matter.

Re: A word with Elise Stefanik (2)

Ed_Zuckerbrod — Sun, 22 Nov 2020 06:01:29 -0000

Don"t hold your breath. More likely, in 2022, A.O.C. is going to challenge Schumer for the Dem nomination. She'll either win outright or so weaken him with Libs that he'll be vulnerable to a qualified Republican. Congressman Lee Zeldin is my best bet. Basement Biden will have made even "sophisticated" New Yorkers sick to their stomachs by then.

Re: A word with Elise Stefanik (2)

A.O.C. is going to accomplish that.

As a lifelong New Yorker, I'd certainly like to see a Governor Stefanik for starters.

Re: A pretense of accountability

Ed_Zuckerbrod — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:37:07 -0000

If the working hypothesis is correct, i.e., there was a late evening Dem panic caused by Trump's unexpectedly strong Election Day showing, then they must have thrown all caution to the wind in their efforts to produce still more fraudulent votes to put them over the top. Therefore, the details of these machinations are discoverable, if only the time and effort are made available. Georgia doing a hand count is a good first step; the other states in question must be made to follow suit. Take heart, all is not lost just yet.

Re: The Biden family business

Ed_Zuckerbrod — Fri, 23 Oct 2020 16:24:48 -0000

In that regard, I think it's important that Trump link this disgusting behavior to the loss of jobs to China suffered in the battleground states during the Obama/Biden years. The "bitter clingers" were no more than human sacrifices to their dreams of globalism, while they themselves secretly padded their nests with millions of foreign money. Is there anything more disloyal to the American people?
