Happy Thanksgiving, America! And Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends and readers.

American Thanksgiving Used to Look Like This . . .

What Thanksgiving Will Look Like in a Few Generations if We Continue with Biz as Usual . . .

On this Thanksgiving, I’m thankful I’m still free and that I live in the greatest country on earth. And while many workers complain about having to work on Thanksgiving for early Black Friday (or Brown Thursday or Grey Thursday–or whatever dark color they are using) sales, I’m thankful for those who really have no choice in the matter and are working today and every other day, the men of the U.S. Armed Forces, many of whom are overseas and away from their families, and a good number of whom are still risking life and limb for Muslims who hate us in Afghanistan. Let’s give thanks for them today and hope they are brought home to American soil very soon.

I’m thankful that I still have enough money to eat and sleep in shelter that I can afford to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. For many Americans who’ve lost jobs and wages to illegal aliens and lost full-time jobs to ObamaCare, that is no longer the case. Let’s pray for them and hope these twin Obamaconomy and ObamaCare debacles end soon. I’m thankful that I’m healthy and in one piece. Sadly, for many American middle-class families, come January, that may not be the case, as their
insurance policies are canceled and their healthcare premiums soar far past the point of affordability, with deductibles well out of the realm of the reasonable, all due to the implementation of Obamacare. Read the rest of this entry »

Tonight, at sundown, the first day of the Jewish holiday of Chanukah begins. (Yes, it’s also spelled Channukah, Chanukkah, Hanukah, Hannukah, Hanukkah, and in several other ways as a result of Hebrew-to-English transliteration which isn’t an exact science, something I’ve covered on this site.)

As you may have heard, it is also the first time since 1888 and the last time until the year 79811 that Thanksgiving and the first day of Chanukah coincide. That’s led to an, at first, cute and, now, totally annoying marketing gimmick in which several companies and some (mostly secular) Jews are pimping products bearing the name “Thanksgivukkah.” To me, it’s a stupid thing, especially since most of the people touting this are Jews who are far left, very secular, and know very little about Judaism, nor will this increase that. One kid invented a “menurkey,” a menorah (the Jewish candelabra we light on Chanukah) that is shaped like a turkey and isn’t even a kosher menorah, so it would not fulfill the Jewish requirement of lighting the menorah candles on Chanukah.

I’ve been asked by various readers and friends how I will celebrate “Thanksgivukkah,” and my response is that I don’t celebrate that fictional holiday. I celebrate both the Jewish holiday of Chanukah and the American holiday of Thanksgiving. But they are separate holidays marking separate and different things. One, Chanukah, is a religious, spiritual holiday, celebrating many miracles, including the incredible Jewish military victory of the Maccabees against the Assyrian-Greeks, who vastly outnumbered them, and the fact that a jar of oil to light the menorah candles in the Jewish Temple lasted eight days when there was only enough oil for one day. The other, Thankgiving, is a national holiday in thanks for the existence of our great country, its freedoms, and the many blessings bestowed upon us as Americans. If anything, the Pilgrims modeled Thanksgiving harvest celebrations on the Jewish Sukkot (or Tabernacles) celebrations.

And what galls me is that most of the Jews pimping me on this Thanksgivukkah baloney are liberal Jews and Obama voters and who have said and done nothing in protest of Obama’s absurd deal with the modern day equivalent of the Assyrian-Greeks: Iran. We live in a time of darkness, and they don’t get it. We have the greatest technological advances, cheap and easy clothes and accoutrements, plentiful food, and conveniences galore. But those are all window dressing when most of the world’s powers have made a deal with the devil, a one-sided deal in which we get nothing and the Iranians get everything. And there are no Maccabees to do anything about it. These Thanksgivukkah Jews are the modern-day Hellenist Jews, whom the Maccabees would slaughter in great numbers as they did the Hellenists. What most Jews don’t realize is that the Maccabees, while they killed the Greek soldiers and defeated King Antiochus Epiphanies, fought for years–more than two decades!–to reclaim Judaism and Israel and Jerusalem and the Temple, and most of those whom they had to fight and kill were Jews. These were the Jews who’d turned against Judaism and embraced the Greek materialistic lifestyle and idol worship. The Maccabees slaughtered tens (and maybe hundreds) of thousands more Jews than Greek soldiers. And they would have slaughtered these Thanksgivukkah Jews for the most part. These are the Jews In Name Only (JINOs) who like Jewish culture and foods, but they have no spiritual connection to me or the Torah. They need gimmick Judaism, just as they fell for a gimmick President. Style over substance on steroids. And that is the very definition of the Hellenism that was the antagonist and evil in the Chanukah story.

I guarantee you the father of that kid who trademarked and invented the non-kosher Thanksgivukkah menorah, the “Menurkey” (and the father paid for all those expenses), voted for Obama. And I guarantee you that he and his family would have been beheaded by the Maccabees. All of these Jewish groups–including to my great distress, the Orthodox Union, which is supposed to be the lead organization representing Orthodox Jews–have resigned themselves to this horrible agreement with Iran and refuse to oppose it, vehemently or otherwise. Yup, no Maccabees they. In fact, they are the modern-day equivalent of the anti-Maccabees. Wimps. Wusses.

We’ve made an agreement with Iran which forces them to do nothing. They are allowed to continue funding Hezbollah, which murdered hundreds of American Marines and U.S. Embassy workers and officials as well as Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem, and to continue to refuse to apologize to America for these murders or for holding our Americans hostage for 444 days in Tehran in 1979-1981. They are allowed to continue torturing and murdering political prisoners and Jews and Christians whose “crime” is practicing faith. The Iranians are allowed to continue executing gays and to financing Shi’ite terrorist fighters in Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere and to fund Shi’ite rebellions from Dearborn, Michigan to Saudi Arabia’s Qatif Peninsula to Bahrain and elsewhere in the Gulf. Iran gets to continue its proud funding of HAMAS. And Iran continues building its Hezbollah satellites throughout Central and South America and throughout Africa. And Iran has said it will continue to enrich uranium and build plants which can only be used to complete its nuclear weapons aim. Read the rest of this entry »

When I was General Counsel for Ward Connerly’s Michigan Civil Rights Initiative–to end race-, gender-, and ethnicity-based affirmative action in admissions, hiring, and promotions by public institutions–we were met with nasty (and sometimes violent) opposition every step of the way from a group called BAMN. It’s the acronym for “By Any Means Necessary.” You get the point: any means, including violence (it’s taken from a Malcolm X quote). That’s how terrorists work. Well, now, BAMN has turned to kidnapping Black kids and indenturing them into a new kind of slavery: protesting.

BAMN kidnapped Black Detroit teens and took them to Washington, DC for more absurd protests. This was done without parents’ knowledge or permission, and it’s a crime. One mother came home to find her two teen sons had disappeared, and she had no idea what happened to them. Here’s what happened to them . . . .

Asha Clay says her 14- and 15-year-old sons have been spending time with a group called BAMN, which stands for By Any Means Necessary. “All I know is that [BAMN is] a group that protests and they recruit these children around here,” Clay tells Fox 2’s Alexis Wiley. Read the rest of this entry »

If, as they claim, Arabs and Muslims are not Jew-haters (and we know that they are exactly that), why do they continue to embrace one of their own who proudly embraces and admires Hitler? And why is a Middle Eastern talent show gushed over by “Good Morning America,” despite its no Jews policy?

A while back I told you about Najwa Karam, the Lebanese Arab singer, who said she admired Hitler. As a result of my article, L’Oreal Cosmetics fired Karam (who had Hezbollah bodyguards) as its “Arab Ambassador.” But Ms. Karam’s admiration of Hitler–for which she’s never apologized and of which she remains proud–didn’t keep her from retaining her gig as a judge on “Arabs Got Talent” (uh-huh, a talent for IED configurations and turning underwear and shoes into bombs). In fact, it was probably a badge of honor.

Now, the “Arabs Got Talent” show is enjoying positive PR and buzz from Western media because an Arab woman from the Boston area, Jennifer Grout, has reached the finals of the Lebanon-based show. Grout was lauded by ABC’s “Good Morning America,” whose bubbleheaded gabbers didn’t bother to ask her about appearing on a show where an admirer of a master of genocide is a judge.

The City of Edmonton wants extremist Muslim chicks in its police force so badly, it’s willing to adhere to sharia to get them. Therefore, the Edmonton Police Department is seeking a new Muslim head-scarf-infected uniform for women to, you know, “open doors” for Muslim women. I’m not sure why they are designing a new uniform for Muslim chicks who seek to “enforce the law,” when there already is one. See it below.

Let’s say you are a Christian or Jew and it is visibly apparent (because you are wearing a Cross, a yarmulkeh, or some other religious symbol). Let’s also say that you are attacked on the streets of Edmonton, or you are accused by some jerk of having attacked them. The perpetrator or accuser may or may not be Muslim. But it won’t matter when you encounter an Edmonton Muslim chick police officer, who really won’t care much about you when it comes to enforcing the law. But she will care about using her purported “law enforcement” powers against you.

I know that this happens because it happened to me. In 2009, when I went to Downtown Detroit to film the HAMASniks and most of Detroit’s Muslim leaders marching in support of HAMAS against Israel, several Muslim males tried to trip me, and then they tried to frame me. And, then, they brought over an Egyptian Muslim police officer who works for the Detroit Police Department to harass me and attempt to restrain my First Amendment rights. They tried to get him to arrest me, and he was inclined to do so. I only got out of it because some White, non-Arab police officers happened to drive by, and they rescued me from this crowd of Muslim Jew-haters and drove me away. Read the rest of this entry »

Hey, more “workplace violence” that we’re told has nothing to do with Islam.

Ah, the loving and peaceful ways of Islam. As I’ve told you, there is a strong racist component to Arab and Muslim life (they call Blacks, “abed” (slave) and “abeed” (slaves)–the Arabic equivalent of the N-word). Check out the video below of a Saudi family beating their Black Ethiopian female slave, whom they’ve put in some sort of strait jacket and hung upside down from a hook while they beat her to a pulp. If you notice a lot of the color red, that’s because she’s drenched in blood from the ripped flesh and other injuries sustained under constant beating from their whips. You have to wonder why Blacks in the West keep converting to this horrible, cultish excuse for a religion when they are treated to example after example of this kind of stuff. Oh, and per usual, they taped the brutal beating so they could watch it later for entertainment and relive their joy over torturing a Black person.

For those who question why Israel is now forced to ally with these Saudis and their country against Obama with his absurd deal with Iran, well, this is what Obama does to the world. He allies with horrible nations and forces good nations to do the same to oppose his dumb and very dangerous exploits. And if you think Shi’ite Muslims don’t have Black slaves and don’t treat them this way, think again. Muslims are Muslims. This is what they do. And there are plenty of abused and murdered Black maids in Lebanon, where they were enslaved by Shi’ites and Sunnis alike and treat just as badly as the woman in this video . . . and worse.

Remember, THIS. IS. ISLAM. Read the rest of this entry »

Today, the FBI released its annual hate crimes statistics for 2012 (yup, this efficient government agency takes nearly a year to crunch the numbers). And the results are nearly the same as they were for 2011, except in Black hate crimes against Whites, which are up 30%. Jews are still the victims of nearly two-thirds of all religion-based hate crimes in America. Muslims only about ten percent, despite their constant whines about being victims. The percentage of anti-White hate crimes is 22%, up by nearly half from the previous year (the actual number of anti-White hate crimes is up 30% from 2011).

In 2011, the percentage of religion-based hate crimes against Jews was 63.2%. In 2012, it was 62.4%, nearly no change. Jews still are the victims of nearly two-thirds of all religion-based hate crimes. And as I always note, the FBI unfortunately does not collect the religious identity of offenders, or I’d be writing about high numbers of Muslims as the offenders. And note that while, in 2011, Muslims were the alleged “victims” of 12.5% of so-called “hate crimes” (and we know that Muslims are frequent hate crime hoaxers and exaggerators), for 2012, the percentage is 11.6%, so it’s a decline of nearly 10 percent.

It is also significant that racial hate crimes against Whites have gone up significantly–30% from 2011 to 2012. Read the rest of this entry »

When I first read about this in the paper and then a lot of readers sent me the story over the weekend, I wasn’t surprised. That’s because–as longtime readers know–I’ve repeatedly written about Arab and Muslim convenience store owners who lie to customers, tell them their lottery tickets were not winners, or tell them they won much less, and then the Arab and/or Muslim convenience, party store, or gas station owners claims the millions in winnings for themselves. It’s happened repeatedly in Michigan and elsewhere, and I’ve noted it in “Beware of Mid-East Store Owners Cashing the Winning Lottery Tix They Just Sold You,” and “Religion of Stealing Your Winning Lottery Tix, #458,321.”

And so it goes with Karim Jaghab and his father, Nabil Jaghab, who ripped off one of their Hempstead, New York customers, telling him he only won $1,000 in the lottery, paying him just that amount, and then claiming the real pot–$1 million–for themselves. I don’t know if they are Muslims (they probably are). But they are definitely Arabs. And this is their culture. Rip off the Americans. This is what happens when you let so many immigrants from the Middle East into America. They bring their Old World cheating to the New World.

Police said an unnamed victim, who does not speak English, believed he had a winning scratch-off ticket and handed it to clerk Karim Jaghab, 26, to scan into the New York Lottery computer and confirm his winnings. New York Lottery payouts of less than $600 can be paid immediately by store clerks, Nassau County police said in a statement. But Jaghab told the victim his ticket was worth $1,000 and gave him that amount in cash in exchange for the ticket, police said.

The scratch-off ticket actually was worth $1 million. Read the rest of this entry »

I wasn’t that thrilled with any of this weekend’s new movies, but none of them is particularly terrible, as in many other weeks. I didn’t have time to finish up and post my reviews before the Jewish Sabbath began, so my apologies. Here they are:

* “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire“: While I liked this second installment of “The Hunger Games” movies better than the first (read my review). But it’s basically the same movie, cut in half.

And my objections remain the same: that it’s too violent and bloody for the kids at whom it is aimed, that its anti-capitalist and filled with class warfare–the enemies in the movie are rich people in “The Capitol” (while the oppressed and the heroes are the poor), that it’s a rip-off of other movies, such as “The Condemned” (read my review) and “Battle Royale,” and that it’s simply not believable that a stiletto thin woman can kick butt against males twice her size.

Keren Alpert, a prominent American rabbi who endorsed gay marriage and Barack Obama, lied about being a rabbi.

Michigan’s oldest Jewish synagogue hired a fake rabbi (whose credentials it never checked), which is hilarious because it’s a Reformed Temple, and so none of their rabbis are actually real (or know much about Judaism). But even more hilarious is that the place is hiring grief counselors to provide emotional support for adult member of the congregation after the synagogue was forced to fire the fake rabbi. And it gets even more funny from there.

In May, I told you about uber-liberal “Rabbi” Alpert, who delivered the “eulogy” of my late next door neighbor at his funeral. Her “eulogy” consisted of an attack on my poor, dead neighbor and assorted airings of grievances against the guy from his selfish kids who never visited for decades or while the guy was dying of cancer (except on his last day, to claim his property). It was outrageous, and I called this idiotette, “Rabbi,” in quotation marks. Turns out I was more right I was. Read the rest of this entry »
