***** must read. Ben-Gurion spent 1916 researching the history of Palestine in—of all places—the New York Public Library. One of the conclusions of his research was that the Palestinian peasantry were the real descendants of the ancient Hebrews.

Liberals, why the f*** are you surprised that un educated, ignorant, poor white Americans are not voting for your candidates? What solidarity do you live with them? None. You ridicule them, live above them, manipulate them, patronize them, condescend to them, exploit them from your universities and ivory towers and engineering groups and computer industry jobs and bureaucratic jobs... that do nothing for them and just give you a comfy cushy job... you are just part of the machine making their lives, their futures, their ability to compete for a decent life that much less likely. No, the crumbs that you throw, the crumbs that you allowed to fall to them after your too-large salaries... Don't count.

regarding the blindness increasing in my eyes: an update to my general practitioner....

The opthamologist at Georgetown yesterday, first time she had seen me, seemed shocked and at a loss as to how my eyesight could have degenerated so rapidly in just the last three weeks. It was three or four weeks ago that I saw the neuro opthamologist. She performed tests on me that had not been performed before, finding AMD in both eyes, particularly the left eye, and cataracts in both eyes, particularly the left eye. Next week I meet with a specialist at Georgetown who will evaluate whether cataracts are the primary problem and whether surgery is indicated. I'm guessing, from what I see online, that I will hope that the answer is yes because it looks like if it is AMD that is primarily making the left I go blind that that is far less treatable. I provide this just as an update for you. I am concerned because as you know my only interest in life is in serving and I would be severely crippled if I lost eyesight. But as you know, I'm a big boy, and I'll handle whatever comes my way. I'm sure that I am getting excellent treatment although if you think of any specialists that I should be seeing other than Georgetown I'm sure you will let me know. I will update you after next Tuesday's appointment at Georgetown.

***** Why the Israeli and Palestinian media tell such different stories As violence against Israeli Jews declines, the Israeli media has gone back to business as usual. Palestinian newspapers, on the other hand, are full of stories of death, arrests, and all-out war.

There has been a century-long campaign in the US to exterminate people of heart. By other words, but that's what it has been.
