I hope St Patrick Day will pass with jocularity and everyone will have a good time.

Trump may tweet what makes a lot of people, including yours truly, roll their eyes but he also does things with which most agree, again including yours truly. This leaves Democrats in a quandary because they have backed themselves so far into the hate and resistance corner. Consequently, Democrats feel compelled to take opposing positions. In doing so they look utterly stupid as evidenced by the prattle and nonsense emanating from the mouths of their announced candidates.
In a conversation I had with my son he pointed out Democrats and their supporters seem to believe if you can hop onto a table you can be president.
All election cycles place us in a silly season period but the current one borders on one of abject insanity.

This is a lengthy article but I believe, though it is addressed to liberal Jews, it has broad relevance. (See 1 below.)
I have always maintained Jews are like people only more so. Let that sink in.

What happened in New Zealand is definitely because Trump plays golf.

SPLC told to clean house at top. (See 2 below.)

Indulge me while I pontificate about the word and meaning of "freedom" and the role played by Democrats and progressive radicals.
Freedom is fragile, it needs to be constantly guarded, protected and experienced. Freedom is a gift that does not last. Often many choose to die to retain freedom so others will continue to enjoy it's blessings.
Why, therefore, do people sacrifice and willingly pay the ultimate price for freedom? What benefits derive from freedom?
Freedom allows one to fail in order to learn to prosper. Freedom unlocks human potential. Freedom forms the basis of world progress.
Why do those who have freedom often lose it? Who does not everyone seek freedom if it is so beneficial?
Freedom, like anything else, needs constant nurturing and those who have it often become so comforted and/or lazy they lose sight.
In order to enjoy/gain freedom, people often make sacrifices and frequently lose the battle because freedom brings power and independence to those who have it and that threatens those who seek to control.
Is it in man's nature to be free? Everything in human nature, in human development suggests freedom and nature goes hand in hand. America is a land blessed with many natural conditions. We have water, minerals, varied weather conditions and, above all, a constitution. However, without freedom to explore and develop America would have remained undiscovered and fallow.
Therefore, if freedom has proven so positive, so precious why are Democrats willing to crush it? Why, if they want it for others who seek it are they willing for it to be taken from those who have it? In other words, why do Democrats support sanctuaries for known criminals in defiance of federal laws? Why do Democrats support the rights of those who seek to impinge upon the right's of other? Why do Democrats believe government growth is a positive force for freedom when, empirically, we know larger government is anathema to freedom?
Freedom demands self-control, freedom equates with patriotism, freedom allows for risks and thus failure. Why do Democrats find these distasteful? Why do Democrats favor taking a knee to symbolize freedom?
Why do youth, who crave freedom, not understand what it takes to have freedom? Why does mankind learn how valuable freedom is only after it is lost? Is youth really wasted on the young?
What role does a solid education play in helping youth to understand/appreciate the blessings of freedom and untold benefits accruing from a constitutional republic? If education is a benefit why have liberals allowed it to become "mind mush?"
If the current president seeks to make America great again and his policies elevate our nation, which means enhances our freedoms, why is he so vilified? Have the dire predictions come to pass or are the Trump haters and radical chaos seekers simply engaged in destructive identity politics?
Will 2020 be the year Americans vote away their freedom because Trump is uncouth etc? Just something to ponder.

1)Dear Jewish American Liberals, it’s time for a talk.
by Valerie Sobel
From one Jew to another. From one parent/grandparent to another. From one who
utters “Never Again!” to another. From one witnessing the vile anti-Semitic floats in
Belgian parades to another. From one in horror watching the U.K. descend into 100
monthly anti-Semitic incidents to another. And from one seeing, in disbelief, the rise of
anti-Semitism in the U.S. to another. We may not agree on much else, but this outrage
we have in common.
You are the resounding 72-74% majority of the 5.4 Million American Jewry who have
backed the Democratic Party since the sun has risen in the East. We get it; you’re for
minority rights because you will forever identify as a minority. You’re forever for JFK ,
even though his brand of liberalism is long gone and has actually morphed into modern
conservatism. You’re forever for FDR, even though it was the Republican Ronald
Reagan who delivered approximately 3,000,000 Soviet Jews from bondage of Anti-
Semitic leftist oppression.
The Democratic Party of the 1950s was the party of the underdog, and you’re forever
the underdog, in your mind, in your memory and by virtue of our tiny demographic. Your
parents and grandparents have been married to the Democratic party since before you
were born, and you can’t let go of what has been engrained in you with mother’s milk.
Understandable.
Today is 2019, not the 1950s. And after the devastating failure of your Party to stand
with you (as Jews) unequivocally against the rabid Nazi-era anti-Semitism of
Democratic Congresswoman Omar, you stand in the final hour of a critical decision,
depleted of all excuses for your political loyalty. And you know it.
We’re in the Situation Room of the 11th hour. Let’s connect all the dots together.
First, your history:
• At the UN, your favorite President Barack Obama, famously called for Israel to return
to 1967 Borders. You said nothing and continued to exalt his virtue.
• The same man orchestrated UN’s resolution #2334, de facto proclaiming most of
Israel illegitimate in Jewish hands. You said nothing and continued to exalt his virtue.
• On his way out of office, the same Democratic POTUS released a whopping $150
Billion to the mullahs of Iran who have a single clearly stated goal; washing Israel out to
sea with their nukes. You said nothing and continued to sing the 44th praises.
• You watched as Obama whispered to French President Sarkozy “…You are sick of
him, but I have to work with him every day.”, mocking PM Benjamin Netenyahu of Israel.
You said nothing and continued to applaud Obama.
• You watched the spiraling souring of America-Israel relations under Obama’s
leadership. You said nothing and continued the love affair with Obama.
• You knew of Obama’s $350,000 interference in Israel’s national election to subvert the
democratic process. You looked the other way and said nothing.
• You never once heard the word “Jihad” leave Obama’s lips when describing Islamic
terror attacks against Jews in France. You said nothing and continued to praise him in
your liberal synagogues.
…Because Obama is your guy. Because he had the visible color of the underdog.
Because the Democratic party is the perceived home of your ancestors.
Those ancestors are dead, but here is your record:
• President Donald Trump, by virtue of the American Embassy move, underscores
Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel. You instantly end your supine silence and find your
voice in loud opposition to the most logical, lawful, courageous and Israel-loving politic.
With trembling knees, you proclaim “he’s angering the Arabs” in your posturing
speeches on Shul Bimahs, in schools, social media and in endless editorials. When
WW3 failed to occur, you retreat back to your silence, having sufficiently defamed the
President.
• President Trump reaffirms a record-setting annual budget of $4 Billion to Israel,
including a $200M increase in 2019, for the next 10 years for a total of $40 Billion. What
do you do? You bash the President in choir with CNN.
• President Trump defunds Israel-denying UNRWA. You continue to bash the President.
• President Trump defunds murderous Mahmoud Abbas to the tune of $250 Million per
year. You continue to bash the President.
• You watch Trump’s appointee Nikki Haley staunchly defend Israel at the UN, time and
time again. Speaking against UN’s anti-Israel biases & infinite resolutions of
condemnation, like no one has ever before, Trump’s envoy to the UN stuns the world
with her courage. Yet you continue to bash the President.
• President Trump stands alone against feckless Europe in ending the disastrous
Obama era of Nuclear Appeasement with Iran, undoing the damage done by the your
favorite ex-President. Ignoring this courageous unpopular move and Iran’s devotion to
the annihilation of the Jewish people as its number one cause, you continue to bash the
President.
• In every State of the Union and UN address, you hear President Trump exalt Israel,
condemn the Holocaust, and explicitdly exclaim the non-negotiated American support
for Israel under his administration. Backed not by his words, but by his deeds! ….You?
You continue to bash the President.
Holocaust Survivors and American religious Jewry unreservedly embrace the President
with warm support and voter presence. Speaking at Trump’s commemorations of
Jewish events & important dates, celebrating Hannukah with singing and candle lighting
by Trump grandchildren and children, in full view to the world from the White House.
First occurrences ever in history! And you? You continue to bash the President.
• You know of Trump Family long-standing personal financial support for Israel, Fred
Trump’s designation of NY buildings for subsidization of Post-Holocaust Jews, complete
with a funded synagogue inside. But you continue to bash the President.
• In August of 2015, Donald Trump's own private jet carried a critically ill 3-year-old
Jewish boy from California to New York for medical treatment, when commercial airline
refused to fly him. You? You continue to bash the President.
• You’ve even watched the First Daughter, The First observantly Jewish Daughter of the
Oval Office (another first in history!) pray at Jerusalem’s Wailing Wall, along with her
father, the grandfather of this, de facto, First Jewish Family that every Friday night
observes Shabbat. Amazingly, you continue to bash the President to the sound of the
CNN drum.
• You, the liberal Jews of America, continue to bash the man who has never once said,
let alone done, anything remotely anti-Semitic. You go as far as partaking in discussions
and events that compare Trump to Hitler and the KKK. You sign petitions and you echo
the cherry-picked sound-bytes of MSNBC’s three-year smear campaign.
How you vote and what you do:
• You vote for the party of Louis Farrakhan, who only months ago called you “termites”!
• You vote for the party whose elected politicians announce that you have duel loyalty,
the oldest most vilifying anti-Semitic charge of genocidal racism.
• You vote for the party that can’t remove a repeatedly outspoken rabid anti-Semite from
membership in the Foreign Affairs Committee, which sets policy with Israel and its
friendly neighbors.
• You vote for the party that dilutes and shoves its unhinged pre-Holocaust brand of
anti-Semitism under the table, unable to pass a simple resolution against their hate of
YOU.
• While chanting anti-Trump slogans, you march with anti-Israel activitist Linda Sarsour
and Tamika Mallory, women who rub shoulders with Farakkhan & Al Sharpton, men
who proclaim your children to be “Satanic Jews”.
• You vote for the party of Bernie Sanders, the man who defends Omar’s anti-Semitism
and Palestinian militancy against Israel’s citizens. The same Socialist Sanders who
once falsely accused Israel of a 10,000 dead-Palestinians genocide. The same Sanders
who thinks your children “standing in queues for food is a good idea”.
• Astonishingly, you lend your vote to the party of BDS advocacy against Israel...!
• You stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who
praises Jeremy Corbyn, accuses Israel of occupation, and now stands in official support
of Congresswoman Omar.
• You even vote for the party whose elected officials tell you (the Jews) that you and
your ilk have “hypnotized the world”...!
• You vote with the party whose elected official may be in violation of a federal statute
for fundraising for two Muslim Brotherhood charities and its affiliates. Same officials who
participate as keynote speakers at events for the Muslim Brotherhood affiliated groups
IRUSA and CAIR.
• You vote for the party whose loyal College Campus Academia ubiquitously advances
anti-Israel positions & Israel Apartheid weeks, and writes endless editorial pages
against Israel’s “aggression”. The piously liberal Academia that prevents Israeli
speakers from speaking on campuses. The Academia that poisonously convinced your
children that bashing Israel does not amount to anti-Semitism.
• You vote for the party that morally equates Israel to terror groups and Islamic countries
of horrendous human rights abuses.
• You vote for the party whose right arm, the media, exalts the Palestinian cause vis-à-
vis Hamas terror on Israeli borders and streets.
• You vote “democrat” alongside anti-Israel groups like Jewish Voices for Peace, J-
Street and George Soros.
• You vote for the party, whose members tried to shamelessly tie the Pittsburgh murders
to President Trump and even tried to prevent him from visiting the aftermath.
• You voted for Hillary Clinton, Democratic Presidential for 2016, who by her own
admission, was mentored by KKK member Senator Byrd. Photographed and videoed
kissing the man while he was alive and proudly eulogizing him at his funeral.
• You vote for the party that gave us the KKK, David Duke and white supremacy. All the
while, relentlessly brainwashing the public to tie this Democrat evil to the Republicans.
• You vote for the party that continues to ridicule and defame President Trump in order
to keep the hate in you alive.
• You vote for the party that unanimously voted against Lincoln’s abolishment of slavery,
championed by the Republicans.
• You vote for the party that stood against the 1964 Act for Civil Rights aimed to benefit
American blacks.
• You vote against the party (GOP) who elected first ever African American Senators.
• You vote against the Republican Party that just championed and passed the anti-BDS
measure with notable Democrats in dissent.
Going back to its Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow days, the beloved Democrat Party of your
ancestors has always been a hotbed of antisemitism — a party that has, for decades,
tolerated and feted Louis Farrakhan while embracing Rev. Al Sharpton. A Party that is
now in the firm grip of Congresswomen Tlaib, Omar and AOC. A party that is breaking
free from the hiding of its genetic antisemitism.
So it isn’t the disenfranchised, marginalized-by-all 10,000 white supremacists (your
party’s own embryo) you should be worried about. It’s the sweeping reach of the
politically “correct” anti-Semitic Democratic Party into our collective psyche, our culture,
our schools, our social norms, and our public opinion you should be disturbed about.
Millions of malleable minds ingesting normalized anti-Semitism is a far greater threat to
your children’s future than a one-time march of a unanimously hated group of thugs.
Your Party has failed you. It failed everyone it pretends to champion with its empty but
loud rhetoric: the middle class, the minorities and the poor. It has conditioned you to see
yourself not as proud Jews, but as underdogs only, indoctrinated to believe in the
Democratic Party’s deliverance, irrespective of its dismal track record. Like you, this is
the brainwash much of Soviet Jewish citizenry under the Proletariat of the old Soviet
Union bought into, only a few decades earlier.
“Divisive” is not the work of the most Jewish President U.S. of A. has ever elected, but
the push of Democratic Party’s agenda that thrives on three wings of hate: “Blame it on
the Evangelicals”, “Blame it on the Russians” and “Blame it on Trump”. The party which
now officially and proudly adds the 4th wing of hate to their platform, the one that you
can’t run from or double-talk against; “Blame it on the Jews”.
Your visceral hate has been meticulously cultivated by the daily brainwash of the
Democratic Party’s liberal media. In 2016, the Democratic Party received a total
donation of $1,020,816, given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast
television networks (NBC, CBS, ABC), while the Republican Party received only
$142,863 via 193 donations from employees of these same organizations. And that's
before we mention CNN and its boss who is toying with the idea of running for
Democratic leadership. Are we tying the dots yet?
You stand with the party that has exhumed every hatred & division across racial &
identity lines known to man. All to secure your loyalty and obedience as the perpetual
underdog.
Today, on March 8th, 2019, you stand with the party that’s incapable of taking the
smallest symbolic stand against anti-Semitism, let alone eradicate it from its ranks.
You stand with the party that stands against you.
You stand with the party that continues to elect Islamic and anti-Semitic politicians who
propagate anti-Semitism proudly, even though your voter ballots are too few to matter to
them in any election.
Yet, you stand against the party who takes up your cause and shows unequivocal
support for Israel, and whose President wakes up to daily abuse for his pro-Israel, pro-
Jewish stance, all despite your hate of him and your utterly insignificant voter power.
You’ve been duped. But believing a lie is easier than admitting you’ve been lied to.
There’s no longer any ambiguity or defensibility of the Democratic Party and we all
know it. They have sold you out, because your numbers are insignificant in the voting
booth. And because another minority they can’t upset provides them with a much bigger
voting block. You have a choice to continue on this path of self-desecration, dragging
the rest of us to 1930s Germany with you, or you can walk away now, before the next
election.
Your other option, to comfortably retreat right back into the lazy boy of your trembling
Jewish knees and once again vote Democrat in 2020, still remains. Telling yourself the
same old lie “Everyone is anti-Semitic. Why change?”
Just remember this; When you’re no longer at the dinner table, you’re on the menu. And
you’re certainly no longer at the dinner table with the Democratic Party, Islam is.
What legacy are you leaving your grandchildren? The legacy of the new but all-too-
familiar German Jews with heads in the sand? Or the legacy of the 21st Century
American Maccabees? Your clock is running out.
As the majority block of the collective American Jewish vote, you have the power to
determine how history and all our children judge us. Make the right choice.

Don't Stop With Morris Dees: Former Employees Told SPLC to 'Clean House at the Top'
On Thursday, the far-Left smear group Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) announced it had fired its co-founder, Morris Dees. It will also submit to an external review of its work environment. According to Glassdoor reviews going back to 2016, however, former employees have demanded that the SPLC "clean house from bottom to top," with many demanding the ouster of its current president and CEO, Richard Cohen.
"Above a certain level, the upper management is incompetent," a former employee wrote in March 2018. "They treat non-lawyers like objects and don't care for feedback or criticism. People are afraid to criticize upper management. Office culture is neglected and thus, turnover is high."
That reviewer encouraged the SPLC to "clean house at the top and include lower level workers in logistical and office wide decision making."
In February 2018, another employee wrote that "some managers are disorganized and have unreasonable expectations for employees, leading to extremely long work days, no weekends, and very little control over personal lives."
One current employee gave the organization 5 stars in October 2017, but that worker gave this advice to management: "Do a better job of empowering rank and file."
A September 2017 review gave the SPLC one out of five stars, claiming the organization had lost "focus on the primary reason." Instead, "the main concern is raising more money, and maintaining the top rated platinum standard brand. Very elitist and a bit out of touch."
This reviewer also noted "a profound lack of diversity in higher level roles," even though "there are well qualified people of color who've dedicated up to and over 12 years to [the] mission of the organization."
These complaints echoed previous exposes from the Montgomery Advertiser, revealing that the organization did not promote black employees. This review also echoed the criticisms that the SPLC has become a fundraising outfit, inflating the numbers of "hate groups" to line its over $500 million in assets.
According to the anonymous reviewer, "none" of the SPLC's "extraordinary wealth ... goes into the community or employees — in terms of livable salary. There are no ongoing community outreach programs. Zero interest in engaging the community or creating valuable and continuous programs to help the community." The former employee also said "personal development is sparse."
In April 2017, a former administrative assistant wrote that "the work environment is toxic."
In January 2017, a former employee who spent more than a year at the SPLC warned of multiple problems. While "all SPLC practice areas ... have a disproportionate effect on black and brown people ... such a small percentage of black and brown people are employed on the Legal team at SPLC (two Black lawyers and three Black Advocates within a staff of about 100 across five states)."
"Toxic work environments lead to low retention rates," the reviewer added. "High turnover rates are a direct reflection of poor management and lack of opportunity/upward mobility." The review also reported on "the mismanagement and mistreatment of employees."
