From Pittsburgh to Florida to Kentucky to the Campaign Trail

The whole idea of a "court Jew" takes on new meaning

Let's start with Pittsburgh. I know a lot of Israelis. They think Trump loves Jews because he moved our embassy to Jeresulem. He is trying to start the final war! First all the Jews have to go to Israel so he's making it more attractive. Israelis don't get it that this is all about the End Times-- or the rapture or the apocalypse, or whatever phrase you prefer. Bottom line-- there has to be a conflagration in the Middle East so Jesus will come back and "rapture" all those "chosen" to enter heaven, leaving lakes of burning oil-- yes-- get that oil out of the ground! - a flaming holocaust which will consume the rest of us-- not sure if we burn forever of just until we are incinerated. Jared, I guess, and Ivanka and the kids will be offered the opportunity to repent and accept Jesus in time to avoid flames-- not so sure about MBS. That's why climate carnage doesn't matter! Got it? 40% of Americans believe this! That's why the book series about the end times was such a best seller. But there is another factor-- at least until now these Israelis have been making lots of money flipping houses and they give Trump the credit. So who cares-- so long as we are getting rich? I try to explain that it is blood money. I warn them about yellow stars being sewn on their clothes but they laugh.

So now that Jewish blood has been spilled, will the slaughter on Squirrel Hill change their minds? Only time will tell. Don't forget-- "nationalist" means "anti-Semite"-- "Jews will not replace us!" Steven Miller is not invited to "nationalist's'" homes which are "Jew Free Zones." The Squirrel Hill shooter had one complaint about Trump-- he was not anti-Semitic enough! Remember that Charlottesville thug who fumed that Trump "sold" his daughter to a dirty Jew! BTW that guy is in jail now as are a number of Proud Boys and Rise Again members are on their way to joining him. Bowen, remember, was especially incensed that the Jews at Tree of LIfe helped, of all people, Russian immigrants, charging that they were bringing in people who would destroy our country. Sound familiar? Trump is equating the caravan of Central Americans fleeing for their lives with the Jewish refugees running from certain death in the concentration camps of Europe. He is not sympathetic to either group, considering all immigrants inherently dangerous! The Jews were turned away just as Trump is planning to turn away the members of the caravan, but this time it will be a gunpoint. They will find one member of the caravan to be a danger and that will be an excuse to turn them all away just as we turned back the Jews. The Smithsonian Magazine explains that one refugee named Bahr, who was a spy,  gave the U.S. an excuse to turn all the Jews away. "What Bahr didn’t know, or didn’t mind, was that his story would be used as an excuse to deny visas to thousands of Jews fleeing the horrors of the Nazi regime." So will one Honduran with a tattoo be the excuse for turning back thousands or migrants including the children? Or will we steal the children... but don't get me started!

In Florida, Cesar Sayoc was a failure at killing but he succeeded in proving that Trump's rhetoric can be deadly-- if there is a competent killer. Of course the victims would have been employees of the targets who would never open their own mail-- but no matter. The message would have been clear. Each and every one of his targets was on Trump's hit list and most were pictured on his van with their faces in crosshairs. Trump is continuing has attacks today honing in on Tom Steyer and CNN after the network interviewed him. Soyac's van, which was his home, is covered with Trump memes-- pictures and quotes from the hate rallies-- he attended. Maybe Soyac was disturbed-- but most killers are and that is why sane people try not to set them off but Trumpf cannot be considered sane-- not by a long shot. Of course Trump is not only aided and abetted by Fox-- MSNBC and CNN are also in his corner, playing clips of his rantings over and over again so as to implant his hateful lies in our brains until the connections are made and cannot be reversed. By the time the "panel"gets to comment listeners are on to something else having absorbed Trump's version of events. I have to keep the remote close by to mute him as soon as his orangutan face shows up. One Trump fan in Kentucky did get his targets-- they weren't famous people but they were Black. The killer was a white supremacist who tried to get into a church but failing that he found a couple of targets in a Kroger's supermarket!

But lest you think these murders and attempted murders would slow down the Trump campaign train, think again! Trump hosted Black Republicans in the White House while the bodies in PIttsburgh were still warm, encouraging them in their anti-Soros chant just in case anyone missed the point of "globalism" in his remarks. Rothschild used to the the anti-Semitic dog whistle for international Jewish bankers but now Rothschild has been replaced by Soros who was one of the recipients of a bomb this week. And he repeated his call to Black American-- "What do you have to lose?" After Kentucky they have their answer-- their lives. Saying that the stock market opened the day after September 11th - it opened Sept. 17th-- Trump continued his lying, hate filled campaign on schedule. The caravan is off the front page for now along with Trump's campaign-- except for the incessant clips on cable TV-- and Trump is angry about that. But he exhibits no real anger at the Bowen and Sayoc. He blamed Tree of LIfe for not having a security guard as if that would have helped-- the first police who came on the scene were shot! It took the SWAT team to arrest him! And that killing in Kentucky is not even on his radar.

So I will continue to monitor House Hunters International looking for a place to land when even California becomes unbearable. As of now, the report is that Becerra won't enforce our new net neutrality law until Sessions finishes suing us! Which of our laws is next? 100% renewables? Immigrants rights? Wait-- we won that one already! How about car emissions? Who is to say?
