A non-Jewish observer, who has admired that embattled little country of Israel and its feisty people for a long time I'd like to offer some unsolicited advice to my Jewish friends:
So, Donald Trump is flawed (may those who are not throw the first stone...or words to that effect), and should he become the next President of the US he will still not be able to "walk on water", but at least, unlike his opponent Hillary Clinton, he will not be beholden to those who want to sink Israel and drown all the Jews "from the River to the sea".
Mark Steyn wrote in his forword to Geert Wilders’ book "Marked for Death":
“...The most tolerant country in Europe” is an increasingly incoherent polity where gays are bashed, uncovered women get jeered in the street, and you can’t do “The Diary of Anne Frank” as your school play lest the Gestapo walk-ons are greeted by audience cries of “SHE’S IN THE ATTIC !”..."
That is what Geert Wilders (and all the brave counter-jihadists) are up against.
I challenge you not to be touched by this mother's testimony: emotional and subjective? My oath! But wouldn't you be emotional and subjective too in her case?
And yet in the"comments"below the You-tube video I read this vomit by someone with the nick "Tantrum Talks":
"Although I feel bad for her loss, her voice and appearance is pretty weird and sounds disabled!" (my bolds and: note to self: don't be a grammar nazi!)
Spoken like a true Democrats voter, I think. And suddenly I feel afraid, very afraid that Hillary Clinton's string-pullers and with them the dark side will win this most important election of all.....
Moving away from the expected Funeral Songs for Fallen Soldiers and etching closer to what I imagine this grieving mother's feelings might be... now and to her last breath...let me give you this most exquisite rendition of the unforgettable W.H. Auden poem "Funeral Blues":
While the quotation marks in the following picture are not quite honest as it is not strictly a direct quote, it does bring out the essence of this scandal which puts Donald Trump's words (*) and even his, perhaps clumsy and certainly no longer fashionable attempts at seduction, in the shade, in my not-so humble opinion of course.
(*) I have heard women refer to what Donald Trump called "pussy" during a ribald conversation among males, as "c**t" and not only when they were among females. Compared to some alcohol-fuelled "girl-talk", Trump was actually "moderate" in what the Clinton-Media have declared a Hanging Offence. What's more, the conversation happened in what Trump thought was a private space and long before his presidential ambitions were even a glimmer in his eye.
The stench of hypocrisy emanating from this contrived collective outrage simply sreams out for a cold shower and I think this bitingly ironic send-up of the "p***y" tape by Gavin McInnes of TheRebel.media will just do the job.

Some wagging tongues suggest that the relationship between the potential next POTUS and her "closest adviser" of many years are as "biblical" as was "that" relationship between the much maligned Intern, Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton.
I don't know if this is true, but, with my sense for aesthetics I find such symmetry somehow...errr.... mesmerising: Mr. Clinton loves his Jewish Intern v. Mrs. Clinton loves her Islamic Intern.....
I found this video via Vlad Tepes and, while I do not know its original poster, it seems well documented and sourced.
If you think that there is a little too much covering of the US elections, the interconnectedness of all things corruptly political is such that the US election results in November will concern all of us, wherever we live.
"Butt-hurt Globalists" are afraid of Donald Trump, that's who, according to Paul Joseph Watson. And Stefan Molyneux, putting himself temporarily into the shoes of a Leftist wails :
"We need just ONE more election win, just ONE more...!"
What about those who are rather afraid of the Obamas, the Sorroses, the Clintons, the Merkels, Sadiq Khans and Hidalgos, the Erdogans and their ilk? Here is Donald Trump, articulating at least one of their fears, and it does rhyme ..........on several levels:
On her way to work one morning
down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh well", she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in for Heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a coverture of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived
Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in for Heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake
Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful", she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in , by now you might have died"
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks that snake gave her a vicious bite
Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in for Heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman
Sighed the snake
"I saved you", cried the woman
"and you've bit me even , why?"
You know your bite is posionous and now I'm gonna die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman", said the reptile with a grin,
"You knew damned well I was a snake before you took me in".
Here are two of the comments/thoughts I picked up on the way back from my little Odyssey (*). I found them deserving of an "in-a-nutshell" label. (Sorry, I lost the sources).
"A Trump victory may not be your victory, but a Hillary Clinton victory will be your loss"
"It is mainly racists who voted for Obama and it will be mainly Sexists who will vote for Hillary Clinton".
But it is not the racists or the sexists that worry me most, it is the herd, made up of morons (time is running too short for euphemisms).
Here is something Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote about them:
Translating this ^^^ letter from Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906 - 1945) taken from his "Letters and Papers from Prison" I was not quite sure how to translate "der Dumme" and "der Böse". The first can mean: Idiot, Moron, Stupid and "der Böse" could be translated as "Evil, Malicious, Wicked, Villain" and even more.
"Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of Good than Evil.
One can protest against Evil, it is possible to expose it, it can, when necessary, be prevented by violence, because Evil always carries within the seeds of self-destruction by leaving behind at least a discomfort in people.
Against stupidity we are defenceless.
Neither protests nor force can achieve anything here; reasoning does not work; Facts that contradict their own prejudices, simply don't need to be believed - in such cases, the Moron becomes even critical - and if they (facts) become inevitable, they can easily be pushed aside as insignificant isolated cases. Here the Moron is completely satisfied with himself, in contrast to the malicious one; yes, he becomes even dangerous, when, easily irritated, he goes on the attack. Therefore, the Moron must be handled with more caution than the malicious one. We will never again try to convince the fool with reasons; it is useless and dangerous."
And then I also found this on Vlad's blog: it is inspiring, emotional, bombastic, a bit over the top just the way I like it !
P
But, about that first "debate" that had Donald Trump poised against two collaborating adversaries, each dishonest in their own way, he lost it because he did not get down in the mud with them. You cannot win against dirty fighters by being a gentleman just as you cannot win the war that Islam has declared on us by doing the Kumbaya thing. Watching the successive traps Trump stumbled into, I also saw that Clinton's lowering her glance incessantly down to the pulpit was not a coquettish batting of her heavily enhanced eyelids, but a suspicious kind of looking up the recipes for her Ad Hominems that were as planned as they were nasty. THIS twitter postseems to confirm my suspicions, as does this one.
PS: I wish though Trump would somehow moderate his hairstyle, I really mean that !!!
(*) People who work in Australian hospitals are the very best, visiting friends/family of patients who stay on and on and on, loudly and wayyyy past visiting hours are the worst .
So the title of an article written by Michelle Malkin, a senior editor at the Conservative Review, published on the 21. September, 2016. The prose that follows is as feisty as the title and when I grow up I want to write like her. For the moment though, I will just copy her gutsy article, unaltered and in toto.
Another United Nations summit in New York. Another finger-wagging extravaganza. Another useless “historic declaration” (nonbinding, of course) to save the world (by holding another summit … in two years).
As America reels from the latest terrorist attacks by Muslim refugees and immigrants in New York, New Jersey and Minnesota, the world’s global do-gooders filled the Big Apple with their humanitarian hot air. U.N. officials convened in NYC this week to push for “collective action” to “protect the rights of refugees and migrants, to save lives and share responsibility for large movements on a global scale.”
Let me put this as politely as possible: Bug off, U.N. nitwits.
Islamic jihadists are lopping off infidels’ heads; kidnapping young African girls, Christian missionaries and Western tourists; incinerating Afghan schoolgirls; imposing mass genital mutilation on Muslim girls and marrying them off to lecherous brutes while they’re still in grade school; pushing gays off of rooftops; mob-raping European women; casting fatwas on cartoonists, filmmakers and authors; and stabbing, shooting and bombing Jews, Christians and ex-Muslim apostates all over the world.
For starters.
But the real problem, the U.N. elites tell us, is “rising xenophobia” in countries whose citizens are sick and tired of open borders. If only we uneducated heathens who oppose unfettered mass immigration to America from America-hating breeding grounds learned to appreciate “diversity” more, a Skittles-colored rainbow of peace and harmony would reign.
And yes, I know, “Skittles” is now a trigger word after Donald Trump Jr. used the treats in a completely innocuous homeland security meme on Twitter to illustrate America’s inability to separate murder-minded refujihadis from legitimate refugees escaping persecution.
To which I say: Suck it up, snowflakes. Terrorists are teaching their kids to slice throats and you’re whimpering over candy analogies? Talk about candy-asses.
Not to be outdone in the international sanctimony Olympics, President Obama used center stage at the U.N. General Assembly to rail against self-preservationism in favor of “global integration.” Instead of a full-frontal fusillade against al-Qaida, the Islamic State and all the other homicidal spreaders of Allahu Akbar-it is, Obama aimed his sharpest barbs at American supporters of Donald Trump and U.K. voters who voted to withdraw from the European Union.
“A nation ringed by walls would only imprison itself,” he lectured.
(Pay no attention to the brand-new fence at the White House now nearly 14-feet high to protect Obama from unwanted outside “integration.”)
This week’s U.N. production of Caring Theater is just the latest attempt by the world’s most feckless social engineers to compensate for their own abject, chronic failures.
The U.N. Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, bloviated against “race-baiting bigots, who seek to gain, or retain, power by wielding prejudice and deceit, at the expense of those most vulnerable.”
What he didn’t talk about: the decades-old corruption, fraud, and abuse perpetrated by the U.N. itself and its vast refugee bureaucracy.
In Malaysia, U.N. refugee officials have been implicated in black market schemes to sell United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees cards and false identity papers in order to get resettled in the United States, Australia and Canada.
In Lebanon, Arabic-language newspaper Al Monitor reported this year that “Aid organizations have become fountains of corruption, while ‘humanitarian mafias’ accrue massive sums” through U.N. funding.
Last year, fiscal watchdogs blew the whistle on systemic management of the U.N. refugee agency’s nearly billion-dollar budget over the last two years. An internal audit deemed every measure of financial controls over refugee relief funds “unsatisfactory.” The report came just two years after another internal assessment raised red flags over “the lack of adequate managerial control” by U.N. officials contracting with third parties purportedly helping refugees.
All that came in the wake of the latest U.N. rape epidemic earlier this spring involving peacekeepers in the Central African Republican who sexually abused civilians, including more than 100 girls in one prefecture.
That outbreak follows years of brutal exploitation by U.N. staff members in Nairobi who shook down African refugees seeking resettlement in North America, Europe and Australia while the U.N. looked the other way. And that scandal ran parallel to another widespread U.N. peacekeepers’ sexual predator ring involving refugees that stretched from the Congo to Bosnia and Eastern Europe.
U.N. brass downplayed the barbaric treatment of refugees in its care as the result of a few rogues. But rape rooms and internet pedophile video productions were run by senior U.N. officials and other civilian personnel, untold numbers of whom fathered babies with young girls and teens held as prostitutes and sex slaves. Nothing has changed.
Before the world’s policemen barge in on us again to denigrate our efforts to protect our home, they should spare us the refugee sanctimony and clean up their own.
Here is an interesting article by Caroline Glick, who writes about the hostile eulogy delivered by the Jew Hater in Chief from the White House at Peres's funeral:
"Obama was not merely wrong when he accused Peres’s detractors of support for slavery -- he was maliciously wrong."
In my opinion, Glick will one day make an excellent successor to Golda Meir.
And herewith I declare the French Election Campaign for the next President of France:
OPEN
Vote for her, for MARINE LePEN, if for no other reason than to teach the self-appointed "elites" (media and politics) who despise you, a lesson. Please do !!!
Yes, I know, she has put more water into her wine than I would have liked, under the guidance of Florian Philippot but I cannot see any alternative emerging between now and 2017.
Okay, here I go: ................... I am - the horror the horror -
a
- CONSERVATIVE -
just like one of the most colourful and charismatic figures at the moment: Milo:
Now, in Australia, we have a new(ish) Prime Minister who arrived at this exalted position by stabbing one of the truly "conservative" Australian Prime Ministers, Tony Abbott, in the back. He - the new one - by the name of Malcolm Turnbull, is - at heart - a leftie, and , just for the health of his "soul" I will give him a little musical hint of how to do it....that thing of "coming out". We (the taxpayers) would rather have a "fair dinkum" commy as a leader than a fake conservative or a "fake anything".
This song may be satire (see the original 1951 version below), but it also shows you, in parts quite realistically, what Angela Merkel has done to Germany.
And here is the original song "Pack die Badehose ein" sung by Conny Froboess, composed by Gerhard Froboess, 1951 - Berlin, Wannsee in a happier pre-Merkel Germany.
Just in case you'd like to sing along in German, here are the lyrics:
Wenn man in der Schule sitzt, über seinen Büchern schwitzt Und es lacht der Sonnenschein, dann möcht man draußen sein Ist die Schule endlich aus, geh'n die Kinder froh nach Haus Und der kleine Klaus ruft dem Hänschen hinterher:
Pack die Badehose ein, nimm dein kleines Schwesterlein Und dann nischt wie raus nach Wannsee Ja, wir radeln wie der Wind durch den Grunewald geschwind Und dann sind wir bald am Wannsee Hei, wir tummeln uns im Wasser Wie die Fischlein, das ist fein Und nur deine kleine Schwester Nee, die traut sich nicht hinein
Pack die Badehose ein, nimm dein kleines Schwesterlein Denn um Acht müssen wir zuhause sein
"Woll'n wir heut ins Kino geh'n und uns mal Tom Mix anseh'n?" Fragte mich der kleine Fritz, ich sprach "Du machst 'n Witz! Schau dir mal den Himmel an, blau soweit man sehen kann. Ich fahre an den Wannsee und pfeife auf Tom Mix."
Pack die Badehose ein, nimm dein kleines Schwesterlein Und dann nischt wie raus nach Wannsee Ja, wir radeln wie der WInd durch den Grunewald geschwind Und dann sind wir bald am Wannsee Hei, wir tummeln uns im Wasser Wie die Fischlein, das ist fein Und nur deine kleine Schwester Ach, die traut sich nicht hinein Pack die Badehose ein, nimm dein kleines Schwesterlein Denn um Acht müssen wir zuhause sein
Hei, wir tummeln uns im Wasser Wie die Fischlein, das ist fein Und nur deine kleine Schwester Ach, die traut sich nicht hinein Pack die Badehose ein, nimm dein kleines Schwesterlein Denn um Acht müssen wir zuhause sein
It's nothing less than a question of "to be or not to be", a question of survival, suggests this courageous German Woman, Tatjana Festerling. I am glad that there is some fire left in some German bellies and, make no mistake, they speak out at great danger to themselves.
A friend recently suggested that "to be Islamophobe is akin to having been an "Icebergophobe" on the Titanic in 1912".
So far Islam is not a race nor will it ever be for decent people with a modicum of intelligence and basic learning, but give it time...in Australia there are already moves afoot....
