Enco, how did that never occur to me? Go, go, go read Poe.

Loved his short stories as a kid. And a few of his poems like the one with Anabelle Lee if memory serves and it is better than the drive-through.

Just dawned on me, Enco, your comment using poe. You mean to say i assume po, the tagalog word to show respect to an elder or friend? Yea well not too many Filipinos in service work in my area. A few at Costco and that is about all i have observed.

I sometimes say “only this, nothing more” when i go through a drive through for coffee or whatever. I think only once, maybe twice, has the response been drive right up or some affirmation of understanding. It’s “anything else sir?”

A tiny illustration of how the far left is complicit in it’s hyperfocus on demonizing Jews/Israel and the resultant pass for anything goes and Islam rules without opposition and a friendly pat in the ass.

First bagel joke.

That hiking area looks dope. The rime of the ancient bagel bread bakery dope.

Any tea is good by me. I remember being in a tea house and the constant din of chai, chai chai. 50 pages of tea menu. Tea is a whole thing some people devote their lives.

Enco,

I remember the first time i saw a bear in the woods. Was hiking and there he was on a switchback and we noticed each other bout same time. Picked up his pace a tiny bit. My pulse picked up a great deal. Have run into moose, bobcat, porcupine and other critters in the woods also. Thing is i would see bears every year in the woods. It has…[Read more]

I gotta lox in the next race so it’ll be overseas slammin salmon cuisine for me. Have Irish lox. It will set you free.

I knew Scandinavians were into lox. Not Irish. I bet it is quite different from the lox i know. Sodium content on Murican lox is around one third. Next opportunity gonna get the traditional jewish bagel, lox, onion, and cream…[Read more]

Reg, that lox looks outstandingly outstanding.

Am surprised that top tier irish whiskey is inexpensive. Now i know what to get my Irish whiskey drinking bro in law for next birthday. Thanks.

Keats, Thompson, Thai stick and you can keep the guinness. A few good shots of irish whiskey with beer chasers. Sounds like a great time. And lox sandwiches, yes!

Poll taxes have been an issue in USA as well.

Simon,

I’m quarter Irish, actually more genetically, and half Jewish. Which identity English or Jewish is more likely to cause a problem?

It is kind of amazing that there is not more resentment of Brits as it relates to the Irish. The shit during the famine was so damn cold.

Then again it seems like new generations sometimes just go on without the enmity carrying forward. I see Japanese/Chinese restaurants quite often. Having spoken to Filipinos and Chinese did not discover…[Read more]

Well written and spot on Reg.

It is carping and only academic but i believe Palestina was the term used by Romans to dissasociate Jews from their homeland after putting down Jewish rebellions. And there were later references to Palestine but in the early 20th century Palestine was used to refer to the Jewish homeland. Thus the Palestine Post,…[Read more]

Robert,

No that was not directed to you! In general i have found you to be quite the reasonable person and well above average intelligence. Never thought you were aligned with Palestinianism or any of the bs mythology. Facts driven, science reliant, amenable to change of position if reason is brought to bear on a topic.

Merely spitting in the…[Read more]

Not being snide to suggest it is a kinder, gentler genocide. As victims it is like a library. In response to genocidal neighbors, not only Hamas, but the citizens who are aligned it is akin to Nazis, puts the Turks to shame…

Anyone or any group that hopes to end the senseless violence involving Israel and Palestinians should stop advancing the…[Read more]

Descent into madness or Trump’s America?

It is surreal. I think Bannon described it as a strategy in which there is literally an enfilade of shit from Trump that is so constant that we the people are inured to it and so it is normalized. The bar is so low you can’t see a bar. Think back not too distant to Watergate. Politicians on both sides put…[Read more]

Enco, i am searching, looking under rocks and in caves for someone who is not that way!

So i had the Silver part right. Weird how the recesses of our mind we can’t always access or only fragments from the depths of our consciousness.

I am hearing more and more recently about the woke right. And i would have bet my life against a dollar that if…[Read more]

Robert,

I have read about that MSG rally. What it does not say is how there were bad assed Jews from Murder Incorporated who showed up and disrupted it. There was also a Nazi movement in California. Silver something or other. Can’t remember the name. What is interesting to me is not the fact that a too high minority of German Americans were not…[Read more]

Here is what AI said about founders of wokeism.

There’s no single founder of “wokeism,” as it’s not a formalized ideology with a designated founder. The term “woke” has roots in Black culture, particularly within Black activism and social consciousness. The phrase “stay woke” gained prominence during the 2014 Ferguson protests, popularized by…[Read more]

I don’t have the goods on origin of wokeism but I absolutely do not excuse the cognoscenti of far left progressivism/wokeism and generalized lefty BS of deliberate Jew hate aka racism. Not an accident nor an unintended consequence of their mythology. Embracing and promoting diversity, equity and inclusion if sincerely held as a tenet of a movement…[Read more]

Yup i think woke y pokey started naive and hokey.

But many of the progressives were already Jew haters. So the mythology they concocted suited their biases. If you want a reference i can give it. More to say later. Life calls me to do the woogey boogey moogie.
