Political Speech

Okay the Schlossberg rant was rude. However, it was political speech and yes the First Amendment protects the rights of everyone. The only part where he is off the reservation is the part about ICE. That part could be considered a very lame threat.

The larger issues of customer service and English are real. There isn’t a single NYC resident who hasn’t been bothered by this on some level. It can sometimes be frustrating but that is far from the rant. You step into a business and find the staff doesn’t speak English. Sometimes it’s Chinese sub dialects or various languages from India or Arabic. The question is where am I. If I am in Chinatown then this is to be expected. However, Chinatown
Is a tourist spot so usually there will be bilingual staff. It is less common in Flushing or Sunset Park. However, if I am going to a Chinese Bakery for sponge cake it is likely a family business serving the local community.

This was not the case in the ill advised rant. Hypocritical lefties do not seem bothered by business that employ 100 percent Latinos. It would be nice to see a black person employed at these places. The neighborhood is covered in the rant. In general most of the people who can’t communicate in English are apologetic about the matter and are trying.
The rare exceptions almost always are Spanish speakers. There really is no issue if some basic customer service standards are done. Respect for the customer and if you can’t help direct the person to someone who can.

Non News

Let’s see a Trump supporter makes stupid comments to restaurant workers about reporting them to ICE. It his highly dubious that Trump knows this clod. The point about workers in a non Spanish area talking a foreign language on the job is one bandied around for at least 30 years. I don’t have an issue with a foreign language, but I acknowledge the larger issues.

Meanwhile Obama has a personal friend who compared Jews to vermin. Obama was never once asked about the comments of Rashid Khalidi. Obama has never been asked about the comments of Khalidi. Nor are the comments about infestation of government related to Palestine. They are literally lifted from Nazi rhetoric that as a so called academic he should be cognizant.

Obama is given a free pass for sitting in a Church two decades and not knowing the pastor is a weapons grade bigot. The media also hid photos of Obama meeting well known bigot Farakhan. I am starting to wonder if the reason Obama hides his grades is because he is an
Duhhh, I sat in a Church run by a Black version of Archie Bunker and took two decades to figure it out. Duh Rashid Khalidi is just uses flowery rhetoric that Nazis would recognize. Duh Bill Ayers is a neighbor a washed up terrorist
I barely know.

PT Obama must be laughing between Bong hits.

Bullshit Progressives

The newspapers have some stories about the inferior joke of an edgy offered at ultra religious Yeshiva s. This does not refer to my relatives who sent their kids to a modern orthodox Yeshiva that does a decent job. The Yeshivas in question belong to various cult like sects.

Our alleged progressive mayor shows more interest in carry iage horses than in humans. Our governor Chico Cuomo has a memory issue and breaks bread with Rabbis who call child abuse victims whores from the pulpit. Child abuse is sadly known in all types of religious faiths. The Satmar are unique in protesting in favor of child molesters and harassing victims. Of course cowardly joke Cynthia Nixon could point this out. However, only Hollywood exceeds the arrogance of this group, by venerating clowns like Polanski.

The time has come to force real reforms. Workfare and mandatory classes for aid recipients. Let the Yeshiva bochers
Either learn a trade or dig ditches.

I will say this to the circus clown freaks. All of the founding fathers had jobs. This cycle of sloth and hypocritical self righteous morally obtuse lifestyle has made a greater joke about of our traditions than a antisemitic obsessive types ever could. Note these are the same Jews that progressives hold up as icons when rationalizing their Jew hate

Not A Fan

We hit Syria for use of Chemical Weapons. I would rather hit the air force and armor. The weapons seem to be airborne and shooting down some planes or airfields better strategy.

Death of Real Liberalism

There was a time when liberals understood the first amendment. There was a time when civics was taught with Voltaire first. The question isn’t when did I become a conservative, when did the liberals lose their mind. Sorry, but rationalizing every enemy of America and treating our historic allies like crap is stupid.

Lefties cry about Trump, but he is a leader. Democrats like Cory Booker are reduced to camera tears over bs. Really if people are leaving Venezuela in droves what does it say. Is it because the country is peachy. Haitians excel in everything just as soon as they leave the place. Says plenty about Haiti, even as the clueless Booker cries.

The left needs to run a Bill Di Blassio Keith Ellison ticket. Let the party go down in flames

Blazing her own trail

In a stunning development my daughter got admitted to a high school I did not expect would be interested in her. She did try to go to my former school. Her grades were a tad short and she doesn’t have a passion for the subject matter.
She did get accepted to a similar, but slightly less prestigious school. In my case I like it better because she is out of my shadow. I did everything right to live my dream but external forces beyond my control derailed a well planned life. No regrets for a life filled with twists and turns. It would be ironic if my daughter gets to live my dream. If her dream takes her somewhere else that is fine too.

Time to end birthright citizenship

The United States needs to end this practice. Citizenship should be conferred only to the children of citizenship or legal permanent residents.

Trump is a slut

We kind of got this when we elected him. Those complaining about Clinton comparisons miss many points. The Clinton situation was more about abuse of power than sex. Who cares if the guy sleeps with Porn Stars, Playmates and Actresses. Considering the Matt Lauer situation it is small potatoes. Sadly people in power bed hop. Smarter ones use
Prostitutes who have the decency to remain silent.

In appreciation of age and wisdom

I want to tell yo how glad I am to age and gain wisdom. When men are young we chase the shiniest gem, but it glitters and yields no warmth. A better man understands that flash is a small part of the picture. I marvel at some of the amazing women around me.

The best woman brings a positive energy with her. Every moment you share with her is a joy. You can trust her to always do the right thing. She literally lights up the room with her grace and she brings out the best in all around her.

She is an attractive woman but her beauty is timeless and flows from within. There are some with more flash, but none with more grace and charm. She is modest and doesn’t stand out at first until you see her Interact with others.

The only bad thing about her is you treasure every moment and never want to die. If you have a mean woman you don’t fear death quite as much as her next tirade.

I am amazed at the propensity of some of my older peers to miss this wisdom. I have two friends at work a tad older than me one just retired. I don’t know how the guy manages to get involved with every head case there. I remind him that these people are unstable but like a moth following a lightbulb he gets involved and is lucky he hasn’t met Lorena Bobbit.

The second one is truely a pathetic fool. Never ever get involved with a woman who is venting about her ex. The sex won’t be good and if it is run. Almost certainly you are involved with a woman with BPD. Now some of you wonder which
Face is the real person when dealing with a borderline lover. It is my belief the sweet person is merely a siren and the abuive manipulative tyrant is real. You will be feeling thger shortly even if it isn’t the extreme BPD issue.

I warned this nut stay away. I got the laugh the heart wants idiocy. Bottom line is this person is ranting about this ignorant fool and me because I stay away. I came out of the hospital and found myself the subject of an investigation. The charges were dismissed and unusually the investigator stated completely baseless. The investigator
wondered why she didn’t ask what was going on. In this case she wrongly assumed something she did not grasp was criminal. In fact it was textbook work. To make matters worse she has applied for supervisor multiple times and fails to grasp making unfounded baseless allegations against a peer doesn’t help a career. Now some of you wonder why this happened. Unlike most I grasped this was a dangerous person. I kept her at arms length and did not fawn over her. One would think this would keep one safe. This person has so much hate that she targets innocent people. Now I am adult enough to grasp attention issues. She is correctly complaining about inappropriate behavior. She picks on the one person who leaves her alone. She asked me about this at an earlier time. I stated that I am an old man and beyond
Such stuff. She persisted and I explained a truth. One is never healed if you are blaming someone else for a busted relationship. I never blame anyone else and accept my part. I don’t replay the relationships or wonder endlessly. I don’t really think much. Even when contacted I prefer just to walk away. Excuse me, I would rather not talk it isn’t my way. I built a new life please respect my privacy.

I am with the Swiss

I think the Swiss idea to make immigrants repay social service before being allowed to gain citizenship is excellent.
It’s time that the free buffet benefits with no responsibility gets ended. I have seen Asylum seekers run back to the country they allegedly fear hundreds of times. Asylum needs to be made rarer and tougher to weed out the scoundrels.

Time to investigate the DOJ and the Obama administration

It’s time to end this Russia farce and investigate the Obama administration for abuses of power. The DOJ, FBI, CIA and IRS need to be scrutinized. The abuses of power exceed anything imagined by Nixon. Career pawns like Lois Lerner
need to do hard time. My bet is none of these Lefties does a G Gordon and starts singing. A burglary is a minor matter compared to using the IRS on foes. Lerner should forfeit her pension and all bonus payments. It should be led by Trey Gowdy.

The media has protected Obama and his race and fairy tale nativity are not protections against weaponized government.
Unlike Benedict Arnold, Lois Lerner never performed a single worthy action in her entire career. Publishers should immediately print her testimony so that her crimes against the American people are common knowledge.

The memos reveal the Fox was in

The Game is ruined

Thank you race baiting lefties for ruining the Super Bowl. I honestly tried to watch but my anger at the kneelers and the spineless owners has ruined it for me. The game is over for me until they ruin other sports. The athletes should be proud of killing the game.

The NFL owners should have put their foot down. They should have protected their product. Other than Jerry Jones there was no call for sanity. Now that revenues are falling so will salaries. How are the players going to take the jerkoffs kneeling. Everything is quaint until it starts hurting the bottom line.

ESPN has become a no go zone. The sports media has with rare exception has exacerbated this problem. The protesters are not brave the media fawns on the morons who then cry the public doesn’t indulge their disrespect of the symbols that unite the country.

I did like the Dany Devito commercial and the fake crocodile Dundee bit. I turned the game off.

The Media Malfeasance with Obama

Amazingly a picture of Barak Obama with Louis Farakhan cons out of nowhere just after he leaves office. No doubt a white politician having a similar relationship with David Duke would not be treated charitable.

In spite of his deplorable record on Israel the Iran deal and still hidden videotape of a dinner with Rashid Khalidi
Yet another antisemitic lunatic Obama proclaimed he is a liberal Jew. No given this record he would be considered like Circus Clown Rabbi Michael Dopey Lerner. Lerner is actually one of the seven dwarves but got tossed for his various behaviors.

I am pretty sure if Trump proclaimed himself Black the media would roast him alive.

Obama is the media anointed and special education president. The reason you don't see his grades or he doesn't talk without a script is he is a dope.

I hope they made it.

Recent events have a letter from one of three inmates who escaped Alcatraz. I want to point out even if they were successful they didn't quite get everything. Had the Anglin Brothers stayed put they would have been reunited with their family. If they did have contact it was fleeting and sporadic. At least in prison the family could visit and been reunited some day.

Little is known about Frank Morris. He was not part of a large family and didn't have much to lose. For him to vanish into the shadows wasn't a big deal. The question still remains wouldn't it be easier to just serve the time and walk away free.

The odds of escape without recapture are very long. Unless you are never getting out it just isn't worth it

Rereading Brevik Posts

I went way back to read my posts on this subject. We have a critic that seems to think I am a fan of butchery. Far from a fan, I despise pointless death.

Some of the themes are mildly amusing. When Muslims kill we get the nauseating lecture that all Muslims are not terrorists. The left inverts this with school shootings or unicorns like Brevik looking for links to Talk Radio or blogs they don't read. Following this very logic the Koran would come under great scrutiny. I am not in favor of blaming Muslims but the predictable platitudes of the left after every atrocity is a bit much.
The
Brevik, Baruch Goldstein and the Oklahoma City bombers are unicorns the left can trot out to deflect attention from the obvious primary sources of terrorism.

Now that some time is past Norway needs to look at the over the top obsession with Palestine has led to a climate where hate crimes against Jews does happen. On the day Brevik butchered the political indoctrination camp was practicing breaking the Gaza blockade. There is poetic irony that the same lunatics who support terror against Jews were slaughtered. It was an inexcusable crime but I shed no tears for that crew would celebrate dead Jews killed identically in Israel.

The guilt by association is amusing. My friend the late Dr Yeagly wrote many offensive things. Claiming that I supported this is amusing as his foes were call the Beakerkin group. I hope the Dr is in heaven learning we are what is in our soul not our complexion. He loved Jesus and America but misunderstood both.

I didn't realize Brevik was in 2011. It seems longer.

Thank You Neil Diamond

I was surprised to see Neil Diamond perform on New Years. I remember him from way back. His music remains fun and well worth listening to decades later. Perhaps the only blots on a stellar career were the film version of the Jazz Singer that produced two great songs and collaboration with the insufferable Streisand. He will still write and record but Father Time never loses.

Me to Idiocy

I want to point out some of the gross behaviors are inexcusable. There is no excuse for sexual predation. However some of these stories are more a product of buyers remorse. Okay you slept with a person you think is creepy, it is an error. It is quite a leap to make false rape claims ala mattress girl. If you had a lapse in judgment and were not drunk or impaired all of the fuss is uncalled for.

On a personal note, I make it a point never to try anything if any alcohol was consumed. The moment is only magical if everyone is on the same page. No doubt I missed plenty of opportunities and lawsuits. For me it is only worthwhile
if the other party wants to be there.

Some of the blame for where we are now is on feminist. The notion of casual sex is something that is a basic part of the movement. The notion that sex is more meaningful than a handshake is considered passe

Big Deal

Are we supposed to be mortified that the President may have had a porn star spank him with a copy of Forbes? Maybe if it was a copy of the Utne Reader. After the Clinton years and the affair de Lois Lerner this is boring. I

Strange Place

I find myself in a strange place. I live in a house wit seven females and four generations. I also am a particularly loved mentor. I do not pretend to have special knowledge but some of the celebrity bad behavior mirrors that from my time in Fashion.

Now thanks to publicity anyone can be an abuser. There are ample stories of small teachers misbehaving. Sometimes I wonder about shrinks and prison staff that is likely quieted. All of those are abuse of power situations.

For me I am perplexed about this. On my end I wouldn't want something that isn't freely given. Then again the whole point is to share a special moment. If a person is coerced it defeats the purpose.

The subject has come up at work. I tell them in my advanced years I understand that the right gen isn't the flashiest. I notice the grace and decorum as well. I joked that a Peet's husband must be the luckiest man on the planet because she brings joy and happiness wherever she goes.

Sex talk is not something I engage in unless I am joking about the bad behavior of some or joking about plants. This may sound strange but romance jokes are loved. A woman had a fifty letter name. I joked if he serenaded her he would need an oxygen mask. Romantic mishaps are also loved like picking a candle with a food scent and setting the wrong mood are loved.

As much as I learn, I still get baffled. One coworker continues to yell at me. The boss told me we met many times but I dont remember. My memory is reserved for those with grace and drama queens who vex me. With many females not remembering them is a large insult. I guess I am not into shallow bottle blondes.

I don't get the exhibitionism of Charlie Rose. Yes women want to see naked men with AARP cards. Not. The heightened awareness is absurd as I wear shorts under my pants as my legs require medical inspection. I have to close the door less some asshat is offended. As I am in shorts this is dumb.

The part that I feel sad about is how romance is dead. I was talking about parts from my life and was amazed how rare certain behaviors are. A few younger peers stated they never had a romantic candlelight dinner or even a picnic in the park. They were fascinated by tales of serenades and love poetry as unusual. It's sad that we made sex the just another activity like eating out. It was always better when there was a connection on another level. It's sad to see gorgeous 30 somethings who have never experienced romance.

Not all change is for the better. I prefer a conventional home with love and respect. Yet part of me loves the headstrong cheeky granddaughter and mouthy daughter. It isn't perfect but it's my reality and it's an anachronism. I

Still here

Blogging in the age of Trump is a challenge. I don't like Trump, but he gets results and is an effective leader. I don't think our country has ever seen anything like this.

Now some of you are all worked up about shithole countries. Haiti is a messed up place and a paradox. They are great
People who excel in most endeavors with the most inept corrupt governance. Shithole countries is different than shithole people. If the place were peachy they wouldn't be emigrating. Unlike the President I don't see people. The Africans.

That being said Family based immigration is not the way to build a modern economy. I am not a fan of Diversity for its own sake. Green Cards and citizenship were never rights, they were honors bestowed on the deserving who played by a set of rulers. This will upset the Duck but I favor only giving out green cards after passing an American basics class. The class will impart the need to respect others. You leave that old world bigotry behind. We discuss the Holocaust and gulags. Meals will include Pork, but there will be vegan fare. If you can not sit with a man eating Pork you don't belong here. There will be a more intensive class at citizenship. Once again we will stress respect, intellectual freedom and our tradition being a good member of the community. The new rules should allow for immediate revocation of citizenship for membership in terrorist groups, gangs or felony arrests.

Trump is a mix of good and bad.He says stupid things but it is refreshing to have someone who can lead. Much of the hysteria is derangement.

Trump has me in an unusual spot. I am not a Trump fan but he is doing better than I imagined.

The blog isn't closed. I just find it more fun to be by Mike. Uptown Steve is still not worth reading as his racist
paranoid rants with zero logic. You can sum it up. Trump evil, screw the Jooooz and rationlize terror.

Deals

President Trump has shown more bipartisanship and genuine leadership in his brief time in office tha President Marijuana re Obama. He does say some annoying things but they have a smidgen of truth. If the countries in question were peachy they wouldn't need TPS. It takes zero effort to find Haitian professionals who excel here. They excel here because Haiti is corrupt and not governed well. Haitians themselves would be the first to tell you about messed
Up governance.

Trump is attempting to reign in the excesses in Immigration. TPS is a temporary measure. All politicians before Trump
Share the blame for kicking the can down the road. Obama bears special guilt for making a mockery of the laws of the USA. The situation with El Salvadoran immigrants and the presence of MS13 is a genuine concern. The TPS countries minus Haiti are responsible for the unaccompanied minor problems. Rather than Obama read the TPS holders the riot act he rewarded them with the illegal DACA act.

Trump has offered a deal. The Democrats intransigence has led to a stalemate. Once again in negotiations one has to give something back. The wall is not a big deal.

Here is what the deal should be

TPS should be restricted to three years. In the future people who form qualifying relationships will have their citizenship delayed three years for every one in TPS.

DACA cases should be given green cards that do not permit citizenship unless the person is in the military or a first responder. They do not get to sponsor the architects of this problem. Any felony arrest or three non felonies cause immediate deportation with all appeals filed abroad.

The DV lottery, married children and sibling cases get cut. Family planning and Female genital mutilation are not the basis for asylum.Asylees should be housed in former military bases until their case is heard. No more waiting in a big city for years cases will be heard at the base with a single appeal.

Lastly family based Immigration other than small children and spouses is not the basis for a modern economy. A skill based system regarding vocation, English proficiency and education needs to replace our current mess.
