A neck is not something to step or kneel on.
Justice for George Floyd!
Murder is murder.
While I greatly respect and admire our law enforcement for the difficult jobs that they have, police brutality and racism is not something that can be tolerated.
Our law enforcement is better than that!
Hold the responsible officers accountable, but also bring peace and civility back to our cities and streets. 😉

It was incredible to find out today what really happened to that convicted sex offender, slime bucket, Jeffrey Epstein.
He was murdered!
How do I know?
It was on the coffee cup at Starbucks, of course.
Honestly, I don’t really care that much how he died, but am just grateful that sick louse is a goner. 😉

Another bloody weekend…this time in El Paso and Dayton.
With at least 29 dead and 53 injured in mass shootings.
We still don’t seem to be able to get a state of security in our country.
Whether it’s gangs and violence in our decaying cities (yes, like Baltimore).
Or mass shootings by racists and nut jobs attacking our schools, houses of worship, shopping malls, and places of work.
People can buy assault rifles with mega mags of ammunition and go crazy.
And they do!
While I was impressed with the response in Dayton especially, they killed the perpetrator within 30 seconds of the start to his killing spree, in other cases it takes considerably longer,
Moreover, while generally the first responders are brave and heroic in going after and taking out the bad guys, in places like the Parkland shooting, the officer apparently hid behind a tree while the students got massacred.
We need a rethinking of how we deal with these terror situations.
Can technology help (and I know these may sound crazy, but we have to think out-of-the-box at some point)?
We have the ShotSpotter technology to pinpoint where shootings are occurring.
Why can’t we have persistent armed drones on patrol with AI ready to swoop in (even through an open door or window) and respond and neutralize the shooter (while law enforcement makes their way through our busy city streets).
Other ideas…embedded chips in humans (yes, it is coming) that would drive the privacy wonks nuts, but can identify occurrences of extreme violence and potentially stop it.
I am sure there are other technology ideas out there.
Certainly, we do need to balance privacy with safety, and it will be tricky to make sure the AI is getting it right, but as we figure this out, tragically there are fathers, mothers, children not coming home because they are dead. 😉

It’s time to stop defending this anti-American hate-monger who sits in the esteemed House of Representatives.
Omar’s words:
When I was in college, I took at terrorism class….we learned the ideology…Every time the professor said Al Qaeda, his shoulder went back {in intensity/fear}…We are laughing his name.
Watch her video here mocking Americans about terrorists, Al Qaeda–the same who killed 3,000 people on 9/11.
This is just one of many instances of her extreme callousness, like where she recently said casually about 9/11, “Some people did something“–that something which was a mass murder terror attack on American soil.
As we contemplate the hate-mongering of Ilhan Omar, we should think about what Luthern pastor, Martin Niemoller once cautioned:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
This isn’t about left and right, but about hatred, bigotry, and racism at the highest levels, and we need to stand together against it. 😉

Please read my new article in The Times of Israel called, “Devastation at The Tree of Life Shooting.”
No, this is certainly not the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden–this murderous scene was certainly no Eden! On this Shabbat there is not life in that holy house of worship, but another familiar Jewish massacre from a gunman screaming, “All the Jews need to die!”
Let us be strong together and hope for the full redemption when peace and brotherhood will soon prevail. 😉

In case you wondered why the United Nations is always so full of sh*t?
– When the U.N. is done aimlessly sitting around watching on the sidelines while weapons of mass destruction proliferate, millions are being killed, maimed or made into refugees, and genocide and war crimes are occurring…
– When the U.N. is done elevating dictators, sponsors of terrorism, and human rights abusers…
– When the U.N. is done denigrating and making endless anti-Semitic resolutions against the democratic and Holy Land of Israel…
– When the U.N. is done laughing at the President of the United States and his accomplishments…
This is what the UNjust United Nations spends our valuable time and dollars on.
This photo of a U.N. garbage truck say it all.
Perhaps, this is the only thing that the U.N. is actually good at!
(Thank you to a good friend for forwarding this photo to me)
I am completely shocked and saddened by the murder of an American citizen, Ari Fuld, by a radical Islamist terrorist in the Holy Land of Israel.
Ari is the father of four and the brother of my friend and classmate Moshe Fuld.
He is also the son of Rabbi Yonah Fuld, the former Vice Principal of Hebrew Studies at SAR Academy in Riverdale, New York.
Ari had served in the IDF and was an outspoken defender of Israel’s right to exist and for a Jewish homeland in the Promised Land of Israel.
Even after he was stabbed from behind by the cowardly terrorist, Ari managed to chase and shoot the terrorist.
Ari is a true hero!
He died of his wounds just a few days before Yom Kippur, and he will be remembered for his deep love of the land of Israel and the Jewish people.
I am honored to know the Fuld family and call them my friends.
I wish them my deepest condolences on this tragic loss.
Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet!
May Hashem protect Israel, it’s defenders, and the Jewish people and let us live finally in peace and security.
See my new artile in the Times of Israel.
“Please Don’t Burn Israel Anymore“
From Incendiary kites to flaming balloons, the Palestinian terrorists of Hamas need to give up their hatred of Israel and the Jewish people, and embrace love for the land and peace with their neighbors.
Hope you enjoy the article.
Protect the Holy Land!

So I think this is the definition of irony and more blatant anti-Semitism out there.
Hitler’s Germany committed genocide and murdered 6,000,000 Jewish men, women, and children during the Holocaust–1 out of every 3 Jews in the entire world–and killed tens of millions more in their fight of World War II.
And now one of Germany’s top gun manufacturers, Heckler and Koch, has put democratic Israel, the Jewish Homeland, which is surrounded by hostile neighbors–on their banned list of countries to sell guns to because of war zones and corruption.
— Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black???
BDS is anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, and a form of terrorism!
My own family–from Germany–suffered at the hands of Hitler and his henchman, and no more Jews should suffer the same.
Germany, please put a lid on resurgent anti-Semitism, and respect Israel’s right to self-defense, and to peace and security.

So there was a bar-mitzvah in synagogue today.
It was very memorable, I think not only for the young man and his family, but for many of the congregants–and frankly, it brought me to tears.
The family was from the Israeli embassy, and they did something that I had never seen before.
When the father got up with his wife and son at the pulpit to speak, he didn’t talk about how great his son was.
Instead he spoke about a young boy from the Holocaust who never made it to his bar-mitzvah.
The father told of the just 12-year old that lived in Europe and was murdered by the Nazis in the Jewish genocide that killed 6,000,000!
The father presented a certificate from the Remember Us program with the name and information of the murdered boy to his son.
The message of this father and Israeli official on his son’s bar-mitzvah was very clear–Never again!
Never again–the hate, prejudice, discrimination, and murder of Jews just because they are Jews.
The people that were murdered by the evil Nazis and other hating bigots throughout history showed no mercy towards G-d’s creatures–in fact, quite the contrary–they relished in the absolute torture and killing of each and every one.
Never again, is not just a phrase, but it is a determination and a commitment to be a “light unto nations” not to forget how some can fall under the evil influence and not to allow it to happen again that people engage in the most outrageous and vile atrocities against their fellow man.
Unfortunately these days, hate and bigotry comes in many colors, races, genders, orientations, and affiliations–and the haters may often pretend–like the Nazis did as the “Aryan Nation”–that they are superior, better, and even righteous in their (evil) cause.
However, we have to know better–we have to be able to discern good from evil–raise up good over evil–and fight for good to win against evil.
It is not just a single battle, but a long intergenerational war, and one that will be won.
G-d Almighty will most assuredly see to it that those who hate on and perform the vilest of deeds against their fellow man, they will end up paying the ultimate price not only with their rotting flesh, but with the eternal burning of their sickening souls. 😉
