The Canary in the Antisemitic Coal Mine
Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night disturbed by the very real nightmare about the rising anti-Semitism from dangerous Hamas supporters in our midst, this occurring less than 80 years after the end of the Holocaust, which saw the murder of six million Jews.
Day after day, week after week now, we see the vile Hamas terrorist supporters acting out in public, screaming, cursing, threatening, blocking, harassing, burning flags, pushing, prodding, and violently attacking others (i.e., Zionists and Jews). In any normal situation, the police would be there protecting the innocent, stopping the harassment, and arresting the violent agitators. But these days, what do we see? The police seem to be doing virtually nothing to stop them.

Without any serious consequences from our law enforcement, courts, or politicians, we can expect things to continue to escalate and get more dangerous.

Are Leftists Driving Us Off a Cliff?
2023 so far has been disastrous for Israel at home and in the public sphere as the world watches the leftists endlessly rally, scream, block highways, burn cars, steal tanks, name call, threaten, refuse military service, take money out of the country, shut down businesses, hurt the economy (check the stock market, currency, etc.), ask for international intervention, and create hate and disunity at a time when we need to work together more than ever.
The left protests that they have the moral high ground, but while they vie for power, they ostensibly don't seem to care whether, in the process, Tel Aviv is reduced to radioactive ash. Instead of being overly focused on power politics, let's listen to each other with respect and work together to constructively solve problems in a good way.

What a Snake!

@Maryland Iron Festival (Catoctin Furnace)
Fascinating to listen to stories from this former miner at the Maryland Iron Festival, near Cunningham Falls State Park.
Learned about the incredibly tough and dangerous working conditions in the mines.
He said everyone he knew who worked in the mines is already dead.
Working hundreds of feet underground, in the pitch black and dust, in cramped spaces of only 30" high, and with dangerous mining tools and explosives all for $75 per day.
This song is about the miners protesting for better wages and safer working conditions.
And if not, no more "fire in the hole!" ;-)

When Branding is the Bomb
Does that make you the bomb?
I guess it could mean that you're exploding with energy, creativity, quality, coolness, market share, revenue, profits, or more.
Maybe it's a warning to your competitors to stay clear or they will suffer the explosive consequences.
Another reading is that your company is in trouble and is about explode, fragment, and leave a trail of dead bodies in its wake.
If you love your brand, instead of a T-shirt with their logo next time, maybe you'll consider splurging for their very own branded grenade.
You can display it, throw it, or sit on it and hope for the best the brand has to offer. ;-)

The Mother of all Cactus Needles
When I checked out from the store with this deadly plant, the cashier oulls the cactus from the shopping cart and gets one of the pins stuck right in her finger.
It was just sort of caught there with the other end hanging out a couple of inches from her finger.
A little shocked and not sure what to say, I just sort of stumbled "Oh, Are you okay? I so sorry!"
She said she was and reached over and plucked the needle out holding her hand limply in the other.
On the way home then, this guy says to me, "you better not sit on that thing."
Ah yeah, you're not kidding! ;-)

Fun and Good Exercise
Also, I understand you can get some pretty good exercise paddleboarding.
My only concern would be sharks.
Don't bright colors and strong motion attract them?
You've got to be brave, but not stupid. ;-)

Artsy Bike
Like a newspaper, it's black and white and "read" or actually rode all over.
How much time do you give a bike like this before it gets stolen on the streets downtown?
D.C. seems to be getting even worse than before, now with Coronavirus and the riots.
Doesn't feel safe, and it's in definite need of an urban makeover from all the horrible poverty and homelessness. ;-)

Homemade Self-Defense
This is what the future for protection of innocents in this country looks like?
If you take away legitimate police and their efforts to protect citizens then this will force people to buy, build, and use even more weapons in their own self-defense.
Anarchy, chaos, lawlessness, and the wild west will be sure to take over as the new normal.
We don't need more out of control gunslingers, gangs, and vigilantism battling for our streets.
Reform the police, protect the innocent people, and put the bad guys away. ;-)

Now This Is Scary On Coronavirus
Virus appears to be "reactivated" after person is already cleared of it.
91 patients so far!
Is this the result of faulty testing or is this not your typical virus???
Folks, it does not look like we are in clear by a long shot on this yet.
Be careful and stay safe! ;-)

Pacemaker No-No!
It generates very high voltage electricity.
The guy setting it up asks me:
Do you have a pacemaker?
I respond in the negative and ask what's the danger zone on this thing.
He says:
You probably wouldn't want to get within 10 feet of this!
Good to know. ;-)

Ballistic Missile Attack A Sham
- The Iranians needed to make a show that they were getting revenge on the United States to appease their radical terrorist base for the killing of arch terrorist, General Soleimani.
- President Trump had already threatened 52 Iranian sites if they retaliated.
- Iran choose a very limited response hitting 2 military bases in Iraq --10 missiles striking one base, 1 missile striking another, and 4 missiles (26%) that failed!
- There were no American causalities!
- Iran immediately stated that the country had taken "and concluded proportionate measures" -- they are not looking for further escalation!
The Iranians are smart not to provoke the U.S. any further.
They may just have dodged a VERY BIG hit on their military.
The matter of weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the Ayatollahs remains an outstanding issue that MUST BE resolved once and for all even as we hope and pray for peace and security to prevail for the long term. ;-)

Lifeguard Needs A Lifeguard
The guards are required to renew their lifeguard certification every two years.
When I asked if he swims, he said "not regularly" and then when I asked if he exercises, he said half-jokingly: "I sleep, eat, and drink!"
But then he told me about the lifeguard exam and a couple of people who should've never been taking the test.
One lady gets waist deep into the pool, and the proctor tells the lady to swim to the other side of the pool and back. Instead of swimming, she starts crying hysterically that she doesn't know how to swim!
Another guy was swimming funny with his arms flailing and his butt out of the water. When the proctor asked him what was up with that and to show him what was hiding under his trunks, the guy showed him that he was wearing an inflatable plastic band under his pants.
Fail, fail, fail--these are life endangering guards, NOT "lifeguards!" ;-)

Morning Commute in DC
It combines the seemingly normal person on the way to/from work listening to music and reading the newspaper with wearing a pretty scare face mask.
It reminds me of the horror movie, "The Purge," where people are permitted one night a year to commit crimes and murder others "legally" as a venting mechanism for social unrest and to help eliminate crime and criminals.
Sitting across from this guy, you're not really sure if he's gonna finish reading the paper and walk off the train all nice or get up and start wiping people out left and right.
Big cities in the U.S. can be scary places, and the mass transportation systems are one of those places where you don't always feel safe.
Maybe a mask is just a mask until G-d forbid, one day, it isn't.

Impeach + AOC
But I instantly realized that they belong together.
Like peanut butter and jelly.
Who is a bigger pee brain than AOC?
* She impulsively lost 25,000 jobs and $5 billion investment in NYC from Amazon (as well as about $27.5 billion in tax revenue over 25 years).
* Her ridiculous Green New Deal wanted to rid us of farting cows and airplanes and didn't get a single yes vote in the Senate (even from her own party).
* AOC stated that the three branches of government are the "the presidency, the senate, and the house" (Uh, wrong!).
* Ocasio-Cortez boasts insanely that government deficit-spending doesn't really matter (hmm, I wonder is that how she handles her personal finances too?).
* She allies herself with fellow anti-American and anti-Semites like:
- Ilhan "(Schmilhan) Somebody Did Something [on 9/11]" Omar
- Rhasida "(Israel-Hater) They Forgot What Country They Represent" Tlaib
- Linda "Muslim Brotherhood" Sarsour
How did anyone actually vote for (or support) people like these to run this amazing country? ;-)

Batsh*t Crazy
They are what is commonly referred to as:
"Batsh*t Crazy!"
Some telltale signs in combination:
- Loud
- Out of control (off the spectrum)
- Exaggerated thinking/delusional
- Feelings of victimhood/paranoia/anger
- Gesturing wildly
- Fingers tightly extended or clenched into fists
- Banging on the table/wall
- Sharpening facial lines
- Clenching of the lips/teeth
- Bugged out/staring eyes
- Dark, hallowed-out eye sockets
- Disheveled hair/clothes
- Unkept/dirty/smelly
- In your face/space
- Potentially violent/dangerous
When you are dealing with batshit crazy...watch out!
You can't reason with them. You can't confront them. You can't evade them.
They have you in their sights.
Scary, right?
BTW, I looked up the derivation of this term:
It come from "there is nothing at all going on upstairs"--such that the bells are no longer ringing in the church tower, and hence the bats are coming to rest there, and they have been there so long that the batsh*t has built up.
There is certainly a lot of batshit from what I can see! ;-)
