Blood Libel

Jews will say they suffered at the hands of European Christians over the centuries--evidence, in Daily Wire editor Josh Hammer's words, that "Jew-hatred is inherent in the European DNA." When Christians suggest Jewish malfeasance--e.g., currency debasement, well poisonings, and ritual blood sacrifice--incited backlash, Jews accuse them of perpetuating a "blood libel." In the Jewish view, Christians stand guilty of unprovoked persecutions, pogroms, and expulsions. You might think that's an anti-Christian blood libel. It is not. That's just vanilla history.

Sampson Option

If Israel exercises the Sampson Option, it will not limit itself to Iran. Israel's nukes can reach Rome. It will not hesitate to hit the Eternal City--which, after all, is not only Seat of the Papal Whore but erstwhile headquarters to the Temple-destroying, Jew-dispersing, long unlamented Roman Empire. 

No less an authority than Josh Hammer has solemnly declared that "Jew-Hatred is inherent in the European DNA." Would he dance a jig to this Final Solution? 

Trust Legitimate Authority

Stick with Establishment politicians, the intelligence agencies, Hollywood, Big Tech, Big Pharma, corporate elites, and legacy media. You know, the same people who brought you JFK's magic bullet, Building 7, Saddam Hussein's WMDs, the COVID-19 narrative, and the "most secure election in history." You can't go wrong.

Cool! No doubt that means you talked about "rebuilding trust, the power of collaboration, truly listening and much more" with those brave HFHS employees who lost their jobs because they did the research and decided the COVID-19 jabs were neither safe nor effective!

No doubt a formal apology, reinstatement, and back pay are all in the works. "Authentic leadership" demands nothing less!

What's that? Oh.

Non-Targeted Babies

"A non-targeted baby that dies in an airstrike is a tragedy.

"A baby that dies at the hands of his captors by being beaten to death is a violation of human decency. "Both babies died. Both are innocent. Both deaths are tragic. But there is zero moral equivalence between the two realities. "Those who understand this are members of the human family. Those who don't, not so much."

~Gad Saad

Onward, Upward, and Foreword!

I stumble upon a vocabulary quiz in an online U.K. magazine. It consists of 15 commonly confused word pairs. You know, words like lie and lay, affect and effect, tortuous and torturous, horde and hoard, etc. The editors claim only 1.5 percent of the U.K. population get all 15 right.

Little do the editors know! Watch this working class hick from Westland, Mich., U.S.A. do his thing!

I scoff. I take the stupid test. I click on the submit button and smugly await confirmation of my excellence.

"CONGRATULATIONS!" comes the reply. "YOU SCORED 14/15! THE 92ND PERCENTILE!"

What?!

I scroll down to review my checked responses. Sure enough, a red "X" mars the sea of green check marks. It glares at me from the left margin next to the passage "Don't just delve into the book. Make sure you read the Forward/ Foreword."

Wait. The word is forward, isn't it? That's what you read before you proceed, i.e., move forward in the book, right? Right?! I swivel round my chair and pluck Thomas J. DiLorenzo's The Real Lincoln off the bookshelf behind me. Sure enough, right there on page ix looms the late Prof. Walter Williams' . . . Foreword.

How many books have I read over the years? How many forewords to those books? How many times have I looked that first-page, front-and-centered, all-caps word square in the face and presumed to have read it?

Still I processed foreword "forward"?! The self-loathing runs thick on this one.

Purveyor of Pep

It's a bitterly cold February morning. I'm on southbound Woodward Avenue in Detroit, just north of Seven Mile Road, when I spy a figure on the side of the road holding a sign and pointing at Westbound Seven Mile traffic. He turns his body 60 degrees--Woodward intersects Seven Mile at an angle--to face northbound Woodward traffic, and then turns again, 120 degrees, to face eastbound Seven Mile traffic. 

The guy's not panhandling. He's just standing and pointing at incoming traffic. He wants people to read his sign. 

I'm about a hundred feet away when he turns to face my direction. He's a young black gentleman. Smiling broadly, he's all bundled up--wool cap, scarf, parka, boots, and mittens--and now he's pointing at me. I read his sign: "I SEE GREATNESS IN YOU!"

Maybe he had a few screws loose. I don't know. This much I can tell you: he made my life a little more beautiful that day.
