I know it is a good day

when newscasters on Israeli television are mocking Donald Trump's loony toon rant from this morning and reiterating that Trump is now a convicted felon and bad for just about everyone on the planet. I wish that right-wing American Jews would hear that message.

The ones on the right are almost beyond saving; the ones in the MAGA cult, well, without serious deprogramming, they are a lost cause and not worth the time at this juncture. Getting them to look at the REAL Orange Skidmark takes much effort, but as the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but can't make it drink. That is where we are with many of these people. The Thief-in-Chief would not be good for Israel, the Israeli people, and definitely not for Jews as a people. But more to the point, he would be a disaster for AMERICA, AMERICANS, and, yes, others in the world.

I hate to say it, but the reality is "America First". I have been and will continue to support Israel, but I am an American above all, and the Walking Felon, is NOT good for MY country!

Bad for everything, everyone, and everywhere, and mostly for Americans and America.

I will never understand how we got here.

You in a mood for another book suggestion? Let me know!

(BTW...did you get to the part in Noa and Emmanual's book that I said was devastating to hear?)
