Antisemitism Attacks on Universities and the Hamas Israeli War Seem Like the Anti-Vietnam War Protests Deja-Vu

 

During the Vietnam War millions of Americans across the land
With the growing deaths and maimings of troops and civilians an end to the war in growing numbers would demand
Marches on Washington and cities and universities under student protests occupied
At Kent State, the Ohio National Guard called in and 4 students were shot and died
Americans could no longer support the claim
That peace would the U.S. fight in the Cold War against Communism by the domino effect would be hobbled and lame
Something in America was perceived as not right
College students and those with National Guard connections were exempt from the fight
While high school graduates or dropouts were drafted to be sent to the rice paddies to die
In higher proportions they were brown or black
Than whites who escaped the drafted to Vietnam track
And Tet proved that Westmorland’s claims we were winning we could no longer rely
And the release of the Pentagon Papers was a clarion call the Pentagon had lied
The lottery system designed to remove the draft as the rallying call for the Anti-Vietnam War movement failed to reduce the demonstrations against a war a majority of Americans decried
Today more and more universities are being hit with the Anti-Vietnam War playbook
But the target is now Jews  and Israel and the actions against Hamas in Gaza they took
If you are a Jew in an elite university you have cause to fear
As the angry head of antisemitism is growing and on more campuses appears
Protests growing each day against Palestinian civilian casualties
Collateral damage in a war against Hamas who has vowed to push Israelis back into the sea
13 Blues in Congress even voted against a Congressional Resolution condemning a massive Iranian drone and missile attack
In their minds and those of the Pro-Palestinian protestors it seems like a call to the crimes of the Holocaust again back
There will never be peace in the Middle East while Iran to Hamas writes checks
To wage war against the Jewish state and Israel’s right to exist rejects
If their illegal quest to develop missile borne nukes succeeds, the end of the Jewish mantra of “Never Again!”
But a new Holocaust of nukes ending the question of if with only when

News That Avenatti May Testify For Donald Trump a Real Shocker in Bragg's Bogus Hush Money Case

 

The news on Fox today was a real shocker in volving Michael Avenatti and his willingness to testify
From a prison cell serving time for defrauding Stormy Daniels he may that nature of the funds paid to her deny
His credibility may be shot but biased and eager to against the DOJ
Lash out for his persecution and the politicization of Bragg’s case convey
He and the Trump legal team have been in contact on whether he would appear
Could very be testimony that in Bragg’s bogus case Bragg will fear
For the jurors some salacious drama that will keep them awake
And the validity of Bragg’s actions a mockery make
Only in New York can the D.A. create a felony the DOJ claimed not justified by the facts
But fulfilled Bragg’s campaign promise to use all means to Trump’s freedom and wealth attack
Payments to Stormy Daniels paid for her testimony to smash
While the statute of limitations that should have dismissed tossed into the trash
High theater in a case that is properly being ridiculed
And attacked as a very effective election interference tool
Nothing should please residents of the Big Apple more
Than to have the case dismissed and the tidal wave of crime Bragg forced to no longer ignore

Bill Maher Blasts NPR EO Katherine Maher For Shedding Diversity of Thought in the News

 

In the journalistic world there are not one but two Mahers
Both of whom are articulate of their points of view purveyors
One who is the head of NPR which to the right stands for National Propaganda Reigns
And the other is more iconoclastic and strays to the left call out and shame
NPR is sated on the public dole
Liberal bias is claimed to be their overriding goal
In the editorial room Blues outnumber Reds 87 to zip
A steady stream of bias from RussiaGate to Hunter Biden’s laptop from their lips
Years ago when moderates like Kennedy and Scoop Jackson among Blues could be found
The unrelenting push to the Squad-like progressive left did not abound
The party has become the party of open borders, soft on crime, Woke and rush to EV’s down our throats
Interested only in preserving power by giving millions of illegals the path to the right to vote
Bill Maher sounds more moderate leaning to the right each day
Castigating the 24/7 Trump bashers and blasting NPR for tossing diversity of thought away
Katherine Maher fired 25 year NPR vet Uri Berliner for NPR’s leftist bias call out
Bill champions the need to be able to disagree without attacking the person and from the political arena trying to rout
Katherine if she is to remain at NPR needs to learn
Engage in debate but not try to opposing views crash and burn

Maxwell Azzarello Joined the List of Suicides By Self-Immolation or Starvation As He Died on the Morning After His Self-Immolation

 

This Thursday in New York City we witnessed the ultimate form of protest
Or the predictable result of a mentally ill man whose lack of sanity his acts would suggest?
After three arrests for disruptive acts his conspiracy theories led
And attacks on politicians both Blue and Red
Concern that he was suicidal instead
No help to his mental illness to shed
Outside the NYC Courthouse where the judicial farce known as the Trump “Hush Money Trial” is on center stage
37 year old Maxwell Azzarello after tossing conspiracy pamphlets into the air and dousing himself with a flammable liquid lit himself with a lighter as the fire quickly raged
Shocked bystanders and police were able to extinguish the fire
But the burns were too severe and next morning he died from his self-induced pyre
Was this a noble act like Thích Qung Đc and other Buddhist monks protesting Diem’s repression?
Or by Norman Morrison in 1965 self-immolating outside the Pentagon protesting our war in Vietnam to seek its suppression?
Or by Bobby Sands and 9 members of the IRA during the Troubles who died from a hunger strike during 1981?
Or by Aaron Bushnell, an active U.S. Air Force serviceman who self-immolated himself in front of the Israeli Embassy less than 3 months before his term of service was done
Who screamed “Free Palestine” then lit himself on fire?
Put out by police in less than a minute but still expired
Death by fire has to be one of the most painful ways to one’s life end
We must encourage other means of protest such that we no longer face this trend

NY AG Letitia James Moving To Strike $174 Million Bond Trump Posted To Prevent Confiscation Of His Properties As He Appeals $355 Million Verdict Against Him

 

Only in New York, the lofty financial capital of the world which when it comes to Trump, the Blues are suffering from terminal TDS
Can a judge rule that financial statements were overstated as to the value of assets securing loans which paid off and lenders wanted to loan more not less
And with not one penny of loans at any repayment risk
The AG’s experts not able to denigrate Trump’s valuations in an acceptable fisk
The biased judge suffering from advanced TDS
Could hardly wait to impose total financial distress
Tossed the 8th Amendment away and levied a fine of $355 million to reward AG Letitia James zeal
When Trump said there was no way in such short time to post bond to be able to appeal
She closed her ears and prepared to proceed to foreclose first with Trump Tower
To drive home she was in charge and had all the biased judicial powers
Maybe the judge realized the excessive no damages fine was in excess
And wanted to avoid the humiliation of being overruled on appeal distress
Lowered the bond amount to still a whopping 175 million bucks
But before the champagne corks could be popped the biased AG struck
Moved to have the bond disqualified as the bonding company the requisite capital to bond lacked
Back into court again soon for Trump to the whopping amount attack
Part of the strategy to strip him of his wealth and to a courtroom confine
Interference in the election better than the insurance policy that only the Blue puppet masters could design

Issurings of Homeowners' Policies Are Bailing From California Due To Losses Require Them To Remain If They Wanted To Insure Autos'

 

California is in the midst of an insurance crisis that will its housing boom soon derail
Insurance companies are refusing to issue home owners’ policies without which getting a mortgage buyers will fail
High number of fires and high costs of materials and labor to build new homes or damaged ones repair
At the same time premiums for auto liability insurance which the state requires is harder and harder to bear
The Insurance Commissioner has the authority to regulate rates but by the insurance companies held hostage
Leaving policy holders with no alternative but pay as insurance companies’ assault on their pocket books wage
The idea of farming out insurance to the state
Is an idea we all should berate
But if you wanted to the business of insuring autos in this state aspire
Issuing homeowners’ insurance policies the state would require
With the cost of apartments taking off like a rocket
And mobile homes a less costly alternative for seniors with less money in their pockets
Insuring mobile homes would nip a potential growing segment of homeless in the bud
We already have towns and cities burdened with a homeless flood

Pro-Palestinians Are Making College Campuses and Cities Like a Deja Vu Of the Vietnam War Protests That Swept the Nation

 At Columbia University the campus looks like the protests against the Vietnam War déjà vu
Pro-Palestinian supporters are protesting Israeli “genocide” and demanding a ceasefire so humanitarian aid to Gazans can get through
Jewish students on campus have become fearful for their safety not being insured
While the flames of antisemitism are rising to Gazans’ deaths by the IDF not deterred
Across the nation protests like blocking the Golden Gate Bridge are taking place
Forgetting and excusing Hamas’ killing of 1400 Israelis and taking 140 hostages while a 2 nation solution to embrace
Supporting Hamas’s goal of “From the mountain to the sea
Palestine will be free” ignoring the new Holocaust of dead Israelis not heard in their pleas
Antisemitism is growing on college campuses more each day
When will the new Holocaust be on its way?
13 Blues voted not to condemn Iran’s massive missile and drone attacks
Clearly a growing number of Blues no longer have Israel’s back
Hopefully a sign the Jewish voters will drop Biden like a hot rock
To along with a growing number of blacks and Hispanics due to illegals Biden’s reelection block
The IDF has gone out of its way to minimize deaths and injuries to Gazan residents
But when Hamas fortifies civilian areas and hospitals deaths are hard to prevent
The Israelis know that they have Hamas on damaged legs
Not wanting a ceasefire for which the UN begs
Each day in a ceasefire that the Israelis are not advancing and killing Hamas where they are found
Hamas is restocking weapons and refortifying its bunkers and tunnels below ground
Delaying the end of hostilities with a devastating Hamas defeat
With moderate Gazans able to work with Israel taking over Hamas’ governing seats
