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. So their tear down posters of the massacred Israelis, scream "Death to Israel" and bray at American Jewish

It is the eighty-fifth anniversary of Kristallnacht (Night of broken glass) in Nazi Germany. "Spontaneous" demonstrations against Jewish businesses, homes, synagogues and other examples of Jewish culture were encouraged by the Nazi government. Books purported to be examples of "Jewish Intellectualism," looted from Jewish-owned bookstores and the public libraries, were also burned in huge bonfires. The resultant vandalism produced so much broken glass in Germany and Austria (which had been annexed to the Reich that spring) that the glass manufacturers in the Netherlands and Belgium were unable to meet the demand for orders to replace the glass before the outbreak of the war. Apart from the vandalism, there was also the violence that was inflicted on the Jewish people in Germany that night, who either objected to the destruction of their property or simply managed to fall into the hands of antisemitic mobs. More than thirty-thousand Jewish men and women were arrested

Tomorrow is Election Day, 2023. Whoop-dee-doo. It is an off-year election, so nothing of national importance is at stake. Just local issues. 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

  Rochester is the deadliest city, per capita, in New York State. That is no mean accomplishment for a medium-size city of little more than 200,000 souls, especially when compared to New York City, with more than 8 million people residing within its cramped borders. This, of course, does not include hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens that have turned up in our sanctuary cities, who have been allowed to fly underneath the radar, courtesy of Joe Biden's open border with Mexico. Despite all of the hype promoting Rochester, paid for by the Chamber of Commerce, the fact is that Rochester is a dangerous place to live, work and play. And to raise children. The public school system is an abomination, the worst in New York State and one of the worst in the country, yet the same people, or at least the same sort of people, keep getting elected to the School Board, which means no real positive changes will occur. Real changes in our school system would require scrapping the woke progress

On Saturday, October 7 one of the worst atrocities against the Jewish people of Israel since the Holocaust was perpetrated by the Hamas Nazis of the Gaza Strip. Beginning with the launching of thousands of missiles into Israel hourly, causing death and destruction in their wake, too many for Israel's anti-ballistic system to be effective, things proceeded to get horribly worse. Mind you, since the Hamas Nazis who govern the Gaza Strip are always pleading poverty, one might question where they got the money to afford tens of thousands of missiles. Reminiscent of the Einsatzgruppen during the Second World War, the Hamas Nazis invaded Israel during its sabbath, indiscriminately killing any men, women and children they found. The Hamas Nazis spared no one, killing even babies, by shooting, stabbing, setting fire to and beheading them. Even babies. Eleven Americans that we know of so far are among the victims. There will probably be more. Their orgy of bloodlust included raping women in

 Billary Clinton has spoken! The wife of ex-president Horndog Bill Clinton, formerly a do-nothing New York Senator, a disastrous Secretary of State, a twice-failed presidential candidate and a cesspit of corruption and conspiracy has now declared Republicans to be a "cult." On Thursday night, the central figure of the "Whitewater Scandal" stated that the leaders of the Republican Party need to be deprogrammed. In communist and authoritarian countries, such deprogramming is carried out in "Reeducation Camps." Dachau, in Nazi Germany, was originally described as just such a camp. Billary, in her hatred of being thwarted by Republicans in her struggle to achieve the presidency, perhaps was too frenzied in her hatred to consider that comparison. Anyone who has stood in her way and has exercised their right to free speech against her therefore must be deprogrammed. That means all Republicans, since the Democrats tend to follow anti-Republican statements like sh

  October 12 is Columbus Day. Or at least it used to be, because that was the day he "discovered" America in 1492. This year, it is on Monday, October 9. It is a Monday, so federal, state and local government agencies can have a three-day weekend. Schools will be closed, as well. It is a federal holiday, so everyone else has to work that day and everything other than government will be open. The purpose of Columbus Day is to "honor" the man who proved that the Earth wasn't flat and discovered America in the process. Which, of course, wasn't the case. The common myths regarding Columbus have been depicted in a Bugs Bunny cartoon where Columbus appeals to a Mae Westian version of Queen Isabel of Castille and a stereotypical Hispanic King Fernando of Aragon for ships to prove that the world wasn't flat. While funny as Hell, none of it is true. A little background is necessary here. Sixteen hundred years previously, Eratosthenes of Cyrene understood that the
