Tea and Vitriol

I believe that there is intelligent life in the universe. It is just not to be found here on Planet Earth. Especially in Washington DC. Space aliens with a technology advanced enough to make interplanetary travel a reality would also be able to observe our planet from a safe distance.  Which they have probably already done and decided it would be best to move on, since there is no evidence of intelligent life on Planet Earth. Plenty of resident humans also agree. One needs only to look at the antics of American college campuses and their support of the Hamas Nazis, which they disguise as "supporting" Palestinian Muslims. These truant college students and their mindless allies have chosen to ignore the slaughter of Israeli men, women and children that led to the latest bout of hostilities in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as the Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon.

It is the eighty-fifth anniversary of Kristallnacht (Night of broken glass) in Nazi Germany.

More than thirty-thousand Jewish men and women were arrested

In Rochester, New York, no great changes are anticipated, since this is a one-party, Democrat-controlled city, that subject about which I have blogged previously. The Democratic Primary elections determined who would be on the ballot tomorrow, and incumbents won the primary elections for School Board and City Council District Seats. Rochester's school system is the worst in the state and one of the worst in the nation, so incumbents continually run and win, perpetuating this state of affairs because they have no sense of shame and there are no term-limits for school board "commissioners," which is what these creatures are called. And Rochester, City Council, which also has no term limits? The only exception this time around is Bridget Monroe, who is "running" for the Northwest District seat on City Council. The incumbent, J
