Month: December 2024

From the NY Times today in a Gazan family tent.

There is no world in which this should be.

It is estimated 1.2 million Jewish children younger than 12 perished in the Holocaust.

Then in what way Netanyahu is this recompense?

A war criminal is a war criminal is a war criminal.

So much was desposited by the Germans and Germany in those years in history’s bank of horror that it is hard to imagine the circumstances in which, by which and under which those accounts can ever be emptied, much less forfeited.

But Israel has made and is making withdrawls, squandering enough of the moral balance earned by those 6 milllion victims, piece by piece by piece.

One child at a time, so that by now we think there are as many as 15,000 dead children like these in Gaza.

Why?

Ask the grownups. We all become those, don’t we.

I keep waiting for the IDF to say no more.

I keep waiting.

There is a photo today accompanying a story about the monstrous, historically disproportional, inhuman conditions in Gaza caused by the Israeli military juggernaut.

The photo shows three small children huddling in terror, confusion and total fear.

It is a vivid image as if this was December 1941 and they were caught in a corner of a street in the Warsaw Ghetto hunted mercilessly by Germans, which the Germans did withouot mercy, sense, decency or comprehension of German evil aimed at Jewish children.

I don’t do religion but this makes me angry and deeply, deeply ashamed to be a Jew. It is exactly the same, exactly the same.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing in this world justifies this. Nothing ever will.

You do not do this to children. Those who do have learned nothing;. They are incapable of learning. They are damned.

Judge Crater?

J.D. Vance?

Well, one could write this that and the other. One could be polite.

Why bother.

Hegseth is a pitiful drunk, a rapist and pure horseshit as a man and a person.

Everything he thinks is hoseshit, everything he says or has ever said or written is horseshit, everything hle pretends to be is horseshit.

He will be the first horseshit pile to sit in the seat of the United States Secretary of Defense since the post was created in 1947 in the law that unified the American military services in the Department of Defense.

The DoD Secretary is 4th in line of succession to the presidency after the president, VP, speaker of the House of Representatives.

Every single Republican senator who votes for him will be voting for horseshit. They will, they are, after all, now horsehsit eaters.

In the news, given events in New York City, are Medicare Advantage Plans.

They are not, they are a total insurance fraud insisted on by Congressional Republicans 15 years ago or so.

Never, never, never take a Medicare Advantage plan.

There is a reason the insurance companies spend these two months selling them so hard.

They are deadly HMOs for seniors.

They will deny, deny, deny and limit, limit, limit.

Take straight Medicare with a Medigap plan.

Don’t be stupid – trust your government.

Don’t trust Republicans and do not trust their dear friends, the insurance companies.

They are not here to help you, they are here to make money at your expense.

Say it again seniors, do not take Medicare Advantage. It is designed for your disadvantage.

If you know me, you know something of my experience, which is considerable as I tell the Docs and Nurses I am an expert patient.

I have never been delayed, denied or refused an immeddiate approval and – and never, ever had a bill.

With Medicare4 Advantage?

I’d be dead.

And what’s “the advantage” in that?

Thought about this, how to say it. Decided to say what it is.

The nominee for Secretary of Defense is a fucking drunk rapist.

He’s a creep.

Who nominates this creep?

What kind of man even considers it?

JNo one, no one, no one.

NO ONE.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?

EVERYTHING.

On Saturday Trump announced Cash Patel is his nominee to head the FBI, a creature with but one declared purpose in life – carrying out his patron’s Night of the Long Knives.

On Sunday, Presidend Biden announced the pardon of his son.

He did the right thing.

As a father.

As an American.

He did the right thing.
