35th Vice President, last speech was a doozy. They say that patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings, Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and they make you king.

Whether it was Republicans nominating a convicted felon or Democrats nominating a woman, both parties left voters with an impossible choice in 2024.

The only synagogue in Jackson, MS burned last night. It was arson. They've been here before--they were attacked by the KKK because the rabbi spoke in favor of civil rights.
They have no usable torah for services, all burned. Torahs are handmade! If you can donate a bit this week, here's a spot.

For anyone else reading this, feeling helpless, and wondering what they can do: the synagogue has a donation form and I've donated with a note that it's for fire recovery immediate expenses. www.bethisraelms.org

Blow up the ballroom. Knock down the flag poles. Replant the Rose Garden.
It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

@noirfoundation.bsky.social Eddie Muller, like Bruce Springsteen, is a great American who understands what genuine patriotism is. Both men know their history.
