There is ONLY one candidate that is truly Pro-Israel and will help to defeat the vile Jihadi Terrorists that wish nothing but death to America 🇺🇸 and Israel 🇮🇱.

U.S. Secret Service Circles The Wagons
.jpeg)
Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "U.S. Secret Service Circles The Wagons."
Aside from Trump who was almost assassinated, and the innocent civilians killed and wounded, and our heart and prayers go out to all of them, I cannot help but wonder what damage all this has done to the trust and respectability of our nation in the eyes of our allies and the fear and deterrence before the ongoing threats from our adversaries.

Prescription Coffee, A Washington Necessity
A regular coffee just won't do it, especially with what's going on in Washington, D.C. after the most recent chaotic events of yesterday.
Thus, this prescription coffee is a great idea to wake the masses out of their disbelieving stupor of what's going down in this insane town.
Of course, the supposed Russian way of dealing with their opponents is said to involve perhaps more of a poison approach to handle affairs (reference Navalny), which is way scary!
And with talk of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove the President from office or of impeachment (again) less than 2 weeks from the inauguration, I'll definitely take me some prescription coffee by the barrel. ;-)

Can Anyone Say Election Fraud?
- Vote rigging.
- Dumping of valid ballots.
- Counting invalid late ballots.
- Changing the postmark of ballots.
- Preparing phony ballots.
- Accepting unsigned ballots.
- Voters who voted multiple times.
- "Software glitches" switching votes
If this isn't considered fraud, then why are we even bothering to hold an election in the first place?
And moreover, why do we pretend that we're a democracy? ;-)

If The Other Side Wins The Election
I think this is how a lot of people feel...
if the other side wins the election (look where he's picking from)!
A picture is worth a thousand words.
One thing we know for sure is that the polls and the "Fake News" media got it all wrong again! ;-)

Who Will Be The Next Captain of America?
Who will be the next Captain of America?
Everyone is on the edge of their seats.
As one friend said:
Half the country will be elated and the other half miserable.
Maybe in the sense of how polarized we've become, it really is a no-win proposition.
Too bad we can't vote for the real Captain America? ;-)

Presidential Debates Sink To New Low!
Last Night with "Sleepy Joe" hit rock bottom!
From BOTH candidates, the lack of coherent answers, coupled with constant interruptions, yelling, put downs, and name-calling was so completely discouraging and disgusting.
Came away feeling like we were at a Mixed Martial Arts tournament rather a Presidential Debate for the United States of America.
What has happened to our great nation?
We are becoming the laughing stock to the entire world.
If we can't conduct ourselves with dignity, courtesy, respect, and integrity towards each other, how can we lead this country, let alone the world?
May G-d help us to find our footing again, to unite around the noble principles and values of freedom, diversity, equality, democracy, capitalism, and human rights for which this country was founded, and change the awful political sinkhole of divisiveness, strife, and sheer indecency that we are caught in. ;-)

A Jewish Scorecard: Trump vs. Sanders
In nine months, we will go to the polls again to elect the next President of the United States. Right now, it's looking like it will be Donald J. Trump versus Bernie Sanders. What is the scorecard of these two men when it comes to the State of Israel—the Jewish homeland that we have returned to after 2,000 years of exile, persecution, and deep yearning, and where the majority of the world's Jewish people currently reside?
In the end, no candidate is perfect, and each has their own critical flaws. However, you, as the voters will need to tally the score for yourselves and decide who will be President in 2020 and what that means for this country as well as for the Jewish people and the State of Israel.

And There Came A New King Who Knew Not Joseph
As we commemorate Passover, we remember that:
In Egypt, the Jews rose to the highest ranks, with Joseph being second only to the Pharaoh, and “Israel settled in the land of Egypt in the region of Goshen; they acquired property in it and they were fruitful and multiplied greatly.” (Genesis 47:27) But then: “A new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.” (Exodus 1:8) Similarly, in Europe, the Jews had risen to the highest ranks of society, they were free and prospered. They prospered and thrived religiously, and built synagogues and yeshivas to worship and learn in. Moreover, the Jews thought they were Germans (and other European nationalities), like everyone else, and that they were fundamentally safe. That is, until there arose a “new king,” Adolf Hitler (may his name be cursed forever), “who knew not Joseph.”What will happen in America that we all love--will the pendulum swing once again to hate and anti-Semitism, where there comes a new king that does not know Joseph?

Talking The Bullet
But one of the lessons that sticks out it that sometimes you have to take a bullet for the President!
This lesson stayed with me and I believe it applies to a lot of other situations in life as well.
Sometimes you take one for the
- Team
- Cause
- Relationship
It's easy to say you are going to preserve you self by "dodging a bullet," but often it's really just the opposite that is needed.
If you take the bullet, you are putting yourself subordinate to a larger cause and what is really important.
Taking one to safeguard the President of the United States is definitely a larger cause.
But also your team, the success of an important cause or project, precious relationships that have been built over time--these can all mean more than taking even a significant hit.
This doesn't mean to be stupid, become anyone's punching bag or just take people's sh*t for nothing.
Rather what it does mean is that you can suck it up sometimes--when the ends justify the means--and jump in front of that bullet to preserve something bigger and more important than just yourself.

It's Fight or Surrender!
This is why President Reagan was able to "tear down that wall" and win the Cold War.
He was a true role model for leadership and what a President is.
- Faith in G-d.
- A strength of convictions.
- The Integrity that touches hearts.
- Courage to carry forward.
- Pride in our nation.
- Judicious use of our might.
Go USA! ;-)

Ramath Orah Synagogue
My grandfather (Opa), Simon Blumenthal, had served as the President of that synagogue for many wonderful years.
I remember always being so proud of him for his dedication and hard work for the community.
I look up to him when he got up to give the announcements at the pulpit.
And he built the beautiful center bimah, the special succah downstair with the roof that opened up to the sky at holiday time, and made many other truly impressive improvements to the synagogue.
He and his wife, my grandmother (Oma), Hilda Blumenthal were an absolutely beautiful couple and the finest of people.
My parents, Fred and Gerda Blumenthal, continued in their footsteps and to be members at Ramath Orah long after we had moved away to Riverdale, and they were contributors to the shul and attended the annual synagogue dinners for many years.
Even though the synagogue was mainly filled with elderly people at the time, we always knew and prayed that it would become revitalized again, which it did and is now.
Pictured at the bottom is me as a kid sitting with a talit over my shoulder and in my grandfathers (the President's chair) in the front of the synagogue.
Aside from leading and singing the regular Yigdal and Adom Olam prayers, I loved to sit with my father and grandfather in synagogue.
We prayed together, and we stayed together as a family and community.
I miss them all so much, but am sure they are up in Heaven together sitting in the Big Synagogue in the sky basking in the light of Hashem and watching over me and my family today! ;-)

What ISIS Saw Today
After the U.S. dropped the Mother Of All Bombs (MOAB) on it in Afghanistan.
30 feet long, 21,600 pounds, GPS-guided, equivalent to 11 tons of TNT, and a blast radius of 1 mile!
The largest non-nuclear bomb in our arsenal that sucks out all the oxygen and lights the air on fire.
It was never used before in battle, and it is wonderful to see that we are finally pulling out the stops on radical Islamist Terrorism.
It's time to make them crap their pants and see nothing but spots before their eyes.
Terrorists, there is a new President in town--and the game is up! ;-)

The Divided States Of America
Gone is the respect, decency, compromise, and diplomacy among valid differences of opinion and points of view.
Talking it out and working it out...forget about it.
Aside from taking up arms, it's almost like this country is in a second civil war.
The United States has become the divided states.
Hitler, Nazis, Stalin, Commies!
California wants to secede (like Texas wanted to previously).
Lawsuits against the President.
Screams, posters and groups of "Not my President."
Celebrities threatening to pack up and leave the country.
Refusals to carry out the laws of the land.
People joining the resistance and underground.
Secret communications in agencies.
Plotting and threats for a military overthrow of the Presidency.
Calls for blowing up the White House.
Tweets calling for assassination and pics posted of what it would look like.
Yet there are no death camps, no razor sharp wire, no attack dogs ripping the flesh off people, no forced labor, no death marches, no brutal beatings, no starvation of prisoners, no poison gas showers, no crematoria, no firing squads, no mass graves, no gruesome experiments on twins, no vicious assaults, no sexual abuse and rapes, no Star of David patches to be worn, no threats to exterminate.
While of course, we need to ensure "Never Again" for all of us-- even the slightest inkling of it--is there really a bona-fide "again" or "inkling" here in the first place?

Take One--Even The Table
Here someone made a table of throw-a-ways and invited people to take what they wanted.
But there was one catch...
Gee, I guess there are people out there that would really take the table or the kitchen sink, as they say.FREE STUFF
Please Take What You Like
Please don't take the table
We have to remind people where the red lines are.
If only our last President has remembered our nation's red lines rather than let 500,000 be slaughtered in Syria (and with chemical weapons) and our ambassador murdered in Benghazi.
But as he said as he commuted the sentence for Chelsea Manning who stole 750,000 pages (including classified information) from the government, "justice was served"--this after only 7 years of a 35-year sentence--just 20%--that's justice for our exiting President.
Chelsea Manning took what he liked and the table too!
And we're the laughing stock of the world again as we let the theft of classified documents leave the country to Wikileaks, but that goes right along with his letting hundreds of terrorists out of GITMO with 30% returning to terrorism.
We're full of free give-a-ways aren't we--even when we're being robbed blind--what's his approval rating again? ;-)

The Trump Twitter Genius
At 70-years old, he has managed to use a millennial social media tool to take on the world, and despite opponents questioning of his temperament, so far he has unequivocally won with it.
Using Twitter, Trump defeated candidates from Cruz to Clinton in running for president of the United States and at a fraction the cost.
Using Twitter, Trump has shaped not only policy discussion, but national sentiments around healthcare, over-regulation, tax reform, and even updating our critical nuclear deterrent capability.
Using Twitter, Trump has strengthened alliances and friendships with nation and states from Israel to Taiwan and decreased escalating tensions with Russia.
Using Twitter, Trump has put competitors and adversaries on notice about bad behavior from China to North Korea.
Using Twitter, Trump is setting the stage for correcting economic problems and imbalances from unfair trade practices to shipping jobs overseas.
Using Twitter, Trump gets around media bias and messages and connects directly with the people of the world.
Of course, it is critical to vet important communications and ensure they are accomplishing the goal, but this needs to be weighed with the ability to reach out and get the message out quickly and effectively to the masses...and it's a most fascinating and delicate balance that needs to be achieved.
So far though, we are no longer working at the speed of government, but at the speed of the Internet.
This is an incredible awakening in politics, but also for everyone on the incredible power of social media tools to communicate directly, unvarnished, and with impact, and no one has done it better than Donald Trump.
The mastery of social media will continue to depend on messaging with speed, significance, and effect balanced with the vigilance as to exactly when to hit that crucial send button to the Twitterverse and the world.

Election Disillusionment
That is apparently how strong people feel in terms of dislike for the candidates--in fact, the most disliked candidates in American history!
Well, I ran into this couple in the Metro.
They were from New Jersey and visiting Washington, D.C. with their daughter.
They were wearing matching t-shirts that said:
"Election 2016: Time To Move To Mars"
Now moving from the USA is not far enough away for people to get from the horrible politics and/or politicians that they can't seem to stand...so next stop is Mars!
As a big time proponents for colonization of other planets, I think this may actually be one of the best things to come out of this election cycle. ;-)

Cough, Concussion, Coverup, Conspiracy
We never want anyone to be sick, and of course sincerely wish everyone well.
But we are at a critical juncture for America and 330 million people here as well as those in the rest of the world looking to us for global leadership:
First it was needing help up the stairs.
Then it was exhaustion.
Then it was threats to reporters for saying she was low on energy.
Then it was a conspiracy.
Then it was a cough.
Then it was allergies.
Then it was overheated and dehydration.
Then it was fainting.
Then it was a belatedly-announced (from Friday) pneumonia.
Then she's "feeling great...and it's a wonderful day in New York."
Then it's time to cancel her campaign trip to California.
When the story keeps changing for doctoring Hillary, and the campaign avoids the emergency room and transparency...is there something for America to be concerned about when it comes to our Presidency.
Are desperate times calling for some to commit to desperate national lies? ;-)

Why Trump Nailed It
(Washington, DC. Our Capital of This Great Nation, 2016)
Trump is a long-shot, but IMHO here's a top 20 why I believe he is nailing it:
1. I'm with you vs. I'm with her.
2. I will be a voice for you and will fight for you vs. I really want this so bad for me.
3. I will re establish law and order vs. I am above the law.
4. I will appropriately name the enemy, stamp out ISIS, and do it fast vs. I won't even say the word radical Islamists, ISIS is the "JV team," and absolutely "no boots on the ground."
4. We will secure America from terrorism vs. it's just some more "workplace violence" and "what's the difference at this point," anyway.
5. We have a ballooning $19 trillion national debt and $900 billion trade deficit vs. the economy is doing just dandy (for now).
6. I will tell you the truth vs. I will hide the truth and lie, but profoundly claim transparency.
7. I will hire and recognize the best and brightest vs. I will hire and promote my friends and cronies.
8. I will invest in jobs, education, and infrastructure vs. I will invest in pork-barrel politics and lobbyist-controlled agendas.
9. Fairness and equality for everyone vs. I'll pick and choose and you know who you are (at least until after the election).
10. We're going back to space, discovery, and innovation vs. we are canceling the shuttle program and riding on Russian rockets.
11. We will bring manufacturing and jobs back to America vs. we will continue to send them, by the millions, overseas.
12. We will get a good deal for America vs. we will get a personal sham legacy.
13. We will be true to our friends and allies vs. we will embrace bitter "Death to America" enemies.
14. Over half the executives in my company are women and get paid equally to men vs. vote for me because I'm a women.
15. I build amazing city skylines vs. I destroy entire regions around the globe.
16. I am the son of a great builder and am a successful family and business man vs. I am the former First Lady of the 2nd impeached president of the United States.
17. I work and earn my money vs. I take donations for my foundation and oversized speaking fees for myself.
18. I am a political outsider in a system that Bernie Sanders himself admitted is rigged vs. I am the system and adept at doing the rigging.
19. I will lead and make America great and respected again vs. I will lead from behind, with a policy of disengagement, withdrawal, and appeasement, and dishonoring this great nation.
20. I and our children are the future vs. I am from the past and will bring more of it to you.
In latest polls from 13 July, 73% of Americans are unhappy and dissatisfied with the direction this nation is heading in!
But there is sunshine lighting up the lies of the last years.
I have hope again for this amazing country.
Greatness, freedom, human rights, fairness, equality, security, and prosperity.
Oh and BTW...Ivanka is a total star on the Trump team!
