The man sat quietly at the desk in thought. Outside the rain droned steadily against the windows.
His features had been chiseled noticeably deeper over the past five years and the weight of it all pushed down on his shoulders. He was tired but would never admit or show it.
As he glanced around the room his thoughts were moving back and forth like Newton’s Cradle.
First, to the history he was surrounded by, then to what the future would look like, then to the present, and back and forth. He placed his hands on the old wooden desk and pushed himself into the large leather chair. Continue reading
Recently, a group of friends and I visited a local grocery store to stock up on emergency supplies. While walking around the rather large and open warehouse, a store employee approached us, lecturing us about wearing our masks properly. Her eyes filled with this gleeful sense of authority. It was almost as if she looked forward to the encounter.
Speaker Pelosi’s allegation made during her last week’s interview on CBS “60 Minutes” (it was aired last Sunday) that the protesters who entered the Capitol in Washington DC on January 6, 2021, “have chosen their whiteness over democracy” was a blatantly racist statement. Among its other evil implications, it insinuated that something was profoundly wrong with being white while not trying to denounce it. It communicated, however implicitly, a need for discrimination against white people.
As I look back over the so-called “insurrection” and all the censorship and moves being made towards more infringements upon our Bill of Rights, it is all so apparent that America is witnessing the end of their freedom and liberty being implemented at lightening quick speed, by a Democratic Party power machine so afraid of ever losing power again, that it is now prepared to set mechanisms in place, that essentially guarantee their lock on power, unless Conservative Americans reach down deep in their gut and do what so many fear to do. 
They threw Christians to the lions in ancient Rome and two thousand years later, followers of Jesus Christ are still persecuted around the world in Muslim and Hindu nations like Pakistan and India, as well as places in Africa such as Nigeria.
I watched several videos yesterday of the protests in Washington. While I do not agree with the violence I saw in some of them, I can understand the frustration of the Trump supporters as they begin to realize that this recent election was stolen from them and that, if the truth be known, they no longer have a country.
The mask remains politically polarizing, but they aren’t a weird sight anymore. Health experts predict they will be a post-pandemic norm in fighting the flu and even the common cold.
The clown in the White House just brokered four Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless war failed to produce. Do you hear that my fellow Jews?
Many politicians, both Democrat and Republican alike, were aghast at the rioters assaulting that most sacred of all government buildings, (according to them) the U. S. Capitol, the alleged seat of representative government. How dare these Trump supporters attack the “People’s House.” Apparently it’s OK for Democrats, Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA to riot, burn and loot private businesses in cities all over America because an armed-robbery black man felon, who served eight separate prison terms, was killed by an over-aggressive cop. The Democrats and the media were silent and only the Republicans denounced the Democrat-Black Lives Matter incited violence of the summer and fall of 2020. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi quipped, “that’s what people do.”
