  1. Keli-A Said:

    Never in any of his debates did he seem to study any of the issues and bring himself up to a level where he could compete on the issues.

    He is competing not on the basis of the knowledge of the details of his future job.. which is what rubio, cruz, kasich, bernie and hillary should do… but rather on his capabilities and will to achieve designated goals… which is how a successful CEO applies for a job. A CEO who ran a toilet paper manufacturing business and now goes into real estate development is not expected to care about toilet paper until in the job…. because achievers are measured by their abilities and achievements in past positions. In fact I would be suspicious of a CEO trying to get the details mastered before assuming the position.
    Keli-A Said:

    Insticts are important but a handle on the nitty gritty of most issues especially the most complex ones requires some mastery of the issues….

    its much more than instinct, which he had when young.. its the good judgement of someone who has achieved a lot, created a lot and learned a lot… thats why he is able so often to grasp the most important and relevant issues… whether an ice rink ten years behind schedule with a miami refrigeration expert or this great one liner that sums it all up:
    “lets ban muslim iimmigration until we figure it out”
    I know of none of the political experts who have been able to arrive at a better analysis and solution to a current problem which has been on their plate for years. As a succesful achiever he knows that proper analysis does not work with PC and politicians cannot work without PC.

  2. Keli-A Said:

    I am awed by his genius of pinpointing key issues adopting them staying on message and manipulating the media and narrative. He has spent till now relatively for him little money and gotten billions in free media exposure…. shutting out all of his oppositions exposure.

    you get it, thats not an accident thats by design
    Keli-A Said:

    Most of all what he lacks in sophistication and grasp of the nitty gritty facts he has shown he has great exceptional instincts and is unlike his professional political class opponents not programed.

    I am even starting to wonder if his “crude” approach was also not by design. His approach has galvanized interest, appealed to the masses, painted him as an underdog instead of an elite. thats a big accomplishment for a brash billionaire

    Keli-A Said:

    My gut tells me that if he is good for America he will also be good for Israel especially if he just leaves us alone….. Israel will manage with normal relations and dealing for her own interests.

    I think his common sense approach will be more pro israel to the right than BB. BB is pro PC, pro image, pro stability and status quo, whereas Trump is willing to roil the pot to make his point. I think he will not only leave Israel alone but wonder why Israel never claimed what it should have claimed. I think that BB’s accomodating behavior will be looked down on by Trump.
    Keli-A Said:

    I disagree he does not seem to have an active learning curve and is not a master of detail.

    No, when he gave the talks about his projects it became apparent to me that he did master details and what was important. Get the whole story of the wollman rink and other projects to see how he turned around the politicians follies at a low cost. He immediately made a mockery of getting ice and refrigeration “experts” from miami. he hasnt mastered the details of his future job yet, which was not his goal. His goal was first to win the primary and then the election. he will not seek to master the details seriously until he has the job…. which is what any very succesful CEOI would do. You cant expect a succesful accomplished person to spend his time on a job he does not yet have. its not rocket science, he will not get the real details until on the job, including all the censored back door details.
    He showed us that he masterd the details when he completely destroyed every experienced establishment GOP and the establishment media. That was his goal and he was succesful, next is hillary. He has proven to me, as a developer that he capably masters details.

  3. @ Keli-A:
    I’m really glad honeybee took good care of hiding you from your antagonists. Like to see you alive and healthy.
    I think life in a cave must be difficult. You probably made it easy. Glad to see you.

  4. mar55 Said:

    many people are sending him information about Israel, its history,

    lets hope that those people are not likud and others to the left because otherwise donald will call for 2 states, incarcerating jews, treating terrorists as petty criminals, equating muslim terror with jewish vandalism…. seeking the BS “high ground” like yaalon instead of honoring your veterans like Trump. Israelis are the problem.

  5. mar55 Said:

    by the time he has to act, he will understand everything about Israel.

    he already is more pro israel than bb and yaalon.. he understands that muslims are the problem and bb does not… when someone other than bb tells trump he will be shocked and wonder what is wrong with BB and the so called right wing. when BB talks of two states and peace with the honor killer scum then why would Donald think different. Frankly, I am shocked that donald with so little knowledge has been the only smart one to say that peace is highly unlikely and that itsok to walk away and that a deal must not be forced on the parties if they dont want it… he is the ONLY one NOT invested in making a deal…. Bear is so far off it is incredible… donal like to make deals and make things happen but he is the ONLY one who speaks of walking away.

  6. mar55 Said:

    He has given position to women that most people would gag at the thought of it. With Trump if you are a worker and know what you are doing he will promote whoever it is.

    I did the same with no pc bullshite. Trump acted as a sensible businessman when he employed the women as opposed to some affirmative action approach.mar55 Said:

    Did you ever get from Ted the information I sent you?

    never got it… and I also read that article…. Boohener thinks biden will jump in at the last minute and I would also not be surprised if the dems also seek to push out hillary.. if she is indicted it might be them who want it. I think Trump would smear hillary but not sure about biden. Funny how the guy that no one considered is now being considered. which shows how bad the hillary situation is for the dems

  7. Bear Klein Said:

    The process itself keeps us from getting to a new paradigm and actual progress for Israel.

    I agree but that is Israel’s choice. I expected that when a right wing gov was elected they would change the paradigm but its even worse now. If your gov cannot say something dont expect others to say it first.
    Bear Klein Said:

    It means he does not understand what is going on in Israel and with the Palestinians and that is dangerous.

    How can it be dangerous when the gov acts like its just a few criminals. Its you and Israelis who complain about the foreigners and others who dont understand. Half of israel wants to give it away, half of Israel allows the supposed right wing gov to incarcerate Jews instead of fighting muslims, half of Israel didnt even defend the soldier who killed the terrorist… when they had a demonstration for the soldier hardly a few showed up. A dead rabbi had his funeral attended by 900,000 Israelis but you will never see anything like that protest for the mount, protest against anti semitism, protest against incarcerating Jews, dissenters and settlers, protest against the endless charade of holding up taxes and then giving them…. its time for Israelis to look in the mirror. Jews and other foreigners outside Israel, including Trump look and listen first to Israelis and the sounds coming out of Israelis are disunified, in complete opposition,…. there is more disagreement in Israel than anywhere so why would anyone not think that things are not very important or dangerous. It is leftist Israelis and religous anti zionists who are the most dangerous but also the almost silent majority who rubber stamps every strange and hypocritical action of BB and yaalon.
    Bear Klein Said:

    Is going to get the Palestinians to raise their children to respect Jews? Is going to get the Palestinians agree to a Jewish Jerusalem and is going to get the Palestinians to give up on getting a hold of the land of Israel (Filistin to them)?

    No, but Israelis and others who recognize that there can be no expectation of a peace agreement in such a scenario is very important. it is absurd to expect or even seek peace with the amount of muslim anti semitism and the fact that future generations of muslims are already infected. BB never mentions it… its Trump that understood that for that reason a deal is unlikely and can be walked from You still dont understand that fact because you see it as trying to get them to do something whereas Trump and I see it as a reason to abandon peace talks.
    Bear Klein Said:

    That he does not recognize this shows his ignorance and means on this score he is just another big ego. He says his competitive nature forces him to try. A statement void of understanding what he is contemplating and why it is fruitless and possibly very harmful.

    You are the one who does not understand.. you and others keep looking to foreigners to do and say things that you refuse to say.
    Bear Klein Said:

    If Trump were enlightened to the situation it would be very easy for the Israeli government to propose a new paradigm and start annexing Jewish Towns in Judah and Samaria.

    How absurd… you look to foreigners to do what no Israeli in gov does. Its absurd that Israel cannot propose a new paradigm without seeing the US or other foreigners propose it first. I have repeated to you many times but you still dont get it. All the problems arise first from Israelis who cannot even say words and blame their inability to even speak on others. The pathetic pals can say ten times more than the Jews. I have told you a million times to get your ludicrous leader and other Israelis to repeat these words:
    “JEWISH SETTLEMENT IN YS IS LEGAL AND LEGITIMATE”
    I have never heard him utter those words and yet you want a guy who has nothing to do with Israel to say more than your leader and Israel can say. Why cant those 900, 000 get on the streets and protest for Israel to their gov.

    So in the unlikely event Trump does become President perhaps Trump will quickly learn the folly of trying to do the ultimate deal as he calls it and work with Israel in strengthening Israel in Judah/Samaria with diplomatic support.

    Its really pathetic when folks blame others for their own failings… Why would Trump learn that “folly” when even your right wing gov has not learned it???? Take responsibility and stop blaming others… instead of writing and demanding from foreigners educate Israelis to the facts… it is they who must first speak words even if they cant take action. How is it possible for Jews to send their children to die by an enemy and then treat the enemy in their hospitals. I am sure that Trump like me, would not be impressed by the humanitarian bullshit to justify that. Jewish children are slaughtered and BB and Bennet treat abbas brother in Israel… I cannot imagine a more pathetic set of suicidal jews with low self esteem If my son was exposed to those dangers I would want every enemy dead… Trump said that the families of terrorists should be killed also; Trump said that peace is unlikely because pals teach their children to hate jews; when trump said to ban muslims until they figure it out Netan the yahoo criticized him for that. I think you have a lot of chutzpah to expect from a non jewish foreigners so much more than your pathetic right winger PM does.
    As long as you look for others to do what you do not you will continue to be disappointed. Imagine how donald felt to be criticized by BB about banning muslims when donald figures, as I do, that BB should know that the muslims are the problem in Israel also.
    How incredible that you expect trump to support judea samaria when your own right wing pm cannot even say the words. do you want donald to wipe your butt too? You keep supporting the guy who has never done a thing for any right wing principle and expect foreigners to do the opposite.
    Frankly, I am coming to accept that Israeli jews are disinterested in Judea Samaria… I almost think there should be a disclosure warning to Jews making aliya that they are entering a nation who allows more anti semitism and muslim abuse than france.

  8. @ Keli-A:
    That is how he operates. He leave the details to the people who he knows are good with details. He is not the most verbal person in the universe. It is obvious.
    However, when he goes into a negotiation, he makes sure the details are worked out.
    If you want detail, go to any of his buildings or look in YouTube for all the detail in his planes. He might not verbalize it but, he certainly knows about details.
    Glad to see you around again.

  9. @ Bear Klein:
    Bear, I know Jerusalem is Israel’s capital
    The problem is the rest of the world should recognize it as the capital of the State of Israel. I hope Trump will be the one with enough guts to confront the world and make it legal.
    We need someone to confront the UN with their corrupt delegates.
    I think he will follow in his promises and make (officially)
    Jerusalem, Israel’s capital.

  10. mar55 Said:

    He will get all the information, study it and, then proceed to act. that is how he operates. How do you think he got to be a billionaire?

    I disagree he does not seem to have an active learning curve and is not a master of detail. Never in any of his debates did he seem to study any of the issues and bring himself up to a level where he could compete on the issues. When he won it was because of tactics not based on arguments. Even today he seems not to know or understand more than when he first started. Insticts are important but a handle on the nitty gritty of most issues especially the most complex ones requires some mastery of the issues….

  11. @ bernard ross:
    @ Bear Klein:

    Been watching trump from the day he announced and I am awed by his genius of pinpointing key issues adopting them staying on message and manipulating the media and narrative. He has spent till now relatively for him little money and gotten billions in free media exposure…. shutting out all of his oppositions exposure. He has learned to use to max effect free social media even better than Obama did… Most of all what he lacks in sophistication and grasp of the nitty gritty facts he has shown he has great exceptional instincts and is unlike his professional political class opponents not programed. He doesn’t even have his own privates pollsters but relies on public polls and his own instincts. so far they have served him well and he will this coming Tuesday knock Cruz out of the game and will glide home the rest of the way. Bandwagon effect will take care of the rest. My gut tells me that if he is good for America he will also be good for Israel especially if he just leaves us alone….. Israel will manage with normal relations and dealing for her own interests.

  12. @ Bear Klein:
    Bear, by the time he has to act, he will understand everything about Israel. He has very good advisers and, many people are sending him information about Israel, its history, politics and everything that matters.
    As a good business man he has very knowledgeable people advising him. Getting information. He will get all the information, study it and, then proceed to act. that is how he operates. How do you think he got to be a billionaire?

  13. @ bernard ross:
    No I did not but it says it as t is. If women think Hillary is for them they better think twice. Hillary will have women in her administration for ideological reasons. No one who will contradict her can work with her.
    Trump on the other side, before it was popular to promote women, he did. He likes competent intelligent women. He has given position to women that most people would gag at the thought of it. With Trump if you are a worker and know what you are doing he will promote whoever it is. Does not interfere with the person doing the job as long as they are implementing or building whatever needs to be done. He does not micro manages.
    Did you ever get from Ted the information I sent you?
    Now another article:

    Rationalizing his weaknesses and trying to justify them does not solve anything.

    The Prime Minister of Israel has disappointed many in the Nationalist Camp with his endorsement of a Pal State under conditions he knows will never happen but to appease Obama.

    If Trump were enlightened to the situation it would be very easy for the Israeli government to propose a new paradigm and start annexing Jewish Towns in Judah and Samaria.

    So in the unlikely event Trump does become President perhaps Trump will quickly learn the folly of trying to do the ultimate deal as he calls it and work with Israel in strengthening Israel in Judah/Samaria with diplomatic support.

  15. I think Trump will be excellent for Israel for ALL the right common sense reasons and NOT to hasten end of times scenarios. Israel deserves support because they are right, they are the victim, it is the Jews land, the jews have tried enough times to make peace with the honor killer scum, the honor killers cant make peace because they teach every generation jew hatred.
    Trump will make a better deal for Israel than the current flock of Israeli leaders and their opposition. Trump will see, if the BS artist BB remembers to mention it to him(as he never mentions to anyone), that the claim is more than security but that the land historically, morally and legally is for Jewish settlement. He already knows and stated that the opposition hatred of Jews is the major problem…. BB does NOT know nor state that as the major impediment to peace.
    I think we all know that the treaties with jordan and egypt are unstable because they depend on the autocrat controlling them at the moment and that the people hate the Jews. Hence real peace is impossible until they change. Trump said that not BB not herzog and not livni.

  16. @ mar55:
    seeing your video makes me realize its a NO BRAINER between Trump and every other BS politician running. Whats wrong with america is ALL those stinking lying politicians. there are specific areas in which I do not agree like how he looks at Iraq… its not that he is wrong but that I think he is unaware of all the details. I beleive that he reasonably changes his mind when he gets more info. Pols dont change their mind for fear of being “wrong”… they cover up and double down on their errors whereas Trump has the businessmans perspective of getting things done, and error is simply a part of making the correct changes rather than protcting an ego position.

  17. @ mar55:
    did you put this video together, are you Niskey?
    I am 3/4 ways through and think it is an excellent production.
    the wolman rink reminded me of why he will be able to “renovate america”. I completely identify with his perspective as a businessman who know what it takes to change the situation. it takes a real doer who gives a damn about getting things done at a reasonable cost… something all pols prove to be incompetent at doing.
    If you did this video you should send it to his campaign.

  18. @ mar55:

    “This man Trump blew everybody off the spectrum, he won every single county in Pennsylvania,” said Ash Khare, a former regional state party official in northwestern Pennsylvania. “And I don’t know about you, but in my political career since 1982, I have never seen anybody win every single county.”

    the momentum is going to skyrocket… once folks are allowed to consider him to be more than a cartoon it will be a juggernaut. He did so well as a defamed cartoon character, what will come when they actually consider his goals and find they agree with them?
    mar55 Said:

    She is a borned liar.

    If Trump takes the nomination he will know exactly how to destroy her. He has already started to refer to her as “”crooked hillary”… which is accurate.

  19. Bear Klein Said:

    Like all the egos before him he says he will attempt to solve the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

    No, not like the other egos. They did it for self aggrandizement to put on their ueseless political resumes and did not care aboout the actual deal… that is why they all had a need to force it on the weaker Jews… the french are doing it again right now. Trump, who is used to making deals and walking away from deal would like to make a deal ONLY if both sides want it and has stated that they may not want it and in that case he has no problem walking away and having no deal made. None of the others can do that… that is the BEST scenario for Israel… much better than “detailed” promises that never happen.. and always end with defaming Israel.
    Bear Klein Said:

    He views all things in the world as a competitive transaction. He says his competitive nature forces him to try and do the deal.

    He views all negotiations the same regardless of the elements and he is correct in his perspective. what is wrong with trying to do a deal and then as he himself predicted walking away???????
    Bear Klein Said:

    This is a dangerous ego driven syndrome that no one knows how it will play out.

    Not at all, that is your own ignorance of how businessmen operate… All successful creators and businessmen have an ego driven element… the rest of folks are employed by them or a non ego driven gov. There is nothing dangerous about ego except in your mind. Cruz and rubio are ego driven and dangerous because their goals like most pols are determined by opportunistic self interest… they never accomplished anything in their lives outside of a cushy paid employment.
    Bear Klein Said:

    This is also the danger of a Trump Presidency that no one can foresee in all aspects if he does beat Hillary Clinton.

    I think your fears are primarily based on ignorance, no insult intended… in that you cannot comprehend the workings and behavior of a man seeking the job who is not kissing everyones butt. you want a typical kowtowing politician even though the repeated failures of all the parties typical pols stares you in the face. I understand Trump, I am not attracted to his personality but to his abilities, straight talk, achievement both personally and in this race… he has totally destroyed both the pols and the media who were out to get him and HE is the most inexperience in the pack. That is the best indicator in that his unconventional approaches actually work. I hope he uses the same approaches in the international venue that he has already demonstrated… he knows when to mercilessly attack and when to be merciful… his antagonists are learning to play by his rules and coming now with cap in hand… that is who I want running with my ball. It is you lack of understanding his methods which frighten you, but that is your deficit and your inability of comprehension. I have no problem so far with anything he did.
    Bear Klein Said:

    Clearly from my viewpoint is way better to take a risk on the unknown Trump as to the completely foreseeable impending disaster of a Hillary Clinton Presidency.

    I predict that what you are now doing is what most of the US will do when he starts to employ new strategies which are directly related to his new goals. He has vanquished his antagonists, he has leashed and broken the PC media… when he embarks on hillary he will have accumulated much more experience. I beleive he is already developing a merciless attack which will make hillary pray for an indictment or the cough to get worse. Consider that he did not win by accident but by well thought out design which appears to you like serendipity and luck. It is also no accident that his costs are much lower. He used his experience to get millions of dollars of free publicity with attention getting tactics. He works the system succesfully against all those with the “experience”. Take off the blinders, this is not about liking or fearing that which you do not understand. There is no one else, that is why he is running.. no candidate so fully speaks to the majority desires of the nation.

  20. @ mar55:Jerusalem is Israel’s capital. That someone does not recognize this is their issue.

    Yes maybe Trump would follow through on his promise to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.

    I am skeptical on this for a variety of issues. One being finding the land to build and the cost would be very expensive.

    If interested symbolically Trump could call the Consulate in East Jerusalem the Embassy with a ceremony. Call the embassy in Tel-Aviv a Consulate and leave the building of a proper embassy to a later date. This all would have a lot of symbolic importance and piss off the Palestinians and Arabs something fierce.

    Trump looks like he will be the nominee I agree. Indiana however he will need to win to get to 1237 pledged delegates. He will win California but that is mostly a district by district race (3 delegates per discrtrict win). You get a small amount of pledged delegates for winning the state overall. 538.com has Trump likely to win California at 73%. Indiana is not so sure and Cruz has a chance.

    If Trump does not win enough pledged delegates I believe he will find enough unbound delegates before the Convention to win on the first ballot in any case. No one else at this point is close to the votes cast or delegates. I like Kaisch but he has no argument to make as he only one state Ohio. Winning the general election polls versus Hillary is good but does not “trump” votes all puns intended.

  21. @ honeybee:
    I have not found him yet. He is hiding somewhere. People think Trump is dangerous but, they do not realize that many of these things they find in his character is typical New Yorker. In all probability he will get alone with BB better than others because with Trump what you see is what you get with the exception of telling the enemy how is he going to act.
    In Spanish we say: “Guerra avisada, no mata a soldado”
    Translation “A war or attack that is forewarned will not kill any enemy soldiers”.

  22. @ Bear Klein:
    Bear, with the last group of unbounded delegates from Pennsylvania Trump is 13 delegates away from one thousand.
    Penn had 54 of these delegates and, they said they will vote for the winner of the election in Pennsylvania. Today, 33 of them has pledged their votes to Trump. There are another 21 who might soon do likewise.
    I’m hoping he gets Indiana and California. That will probably put him within the 1,237 needed to get the nomination or above.
    He is the best hope for Jerusalem becoming Israel’s capital.
    All what you have to do is to look at the people who are against him. The Musloid at the WH. The Arabs and all the leftist media. The media likes people they can manipulate and, with Trump they are out of luck. The right people hates him. He must be good.
    Cruz I thought had a chance in the beginning until I realized the manipulative SOB was a double dealing backstabber. The most hated member of Congress. Self righteous, self centered SOB. Even his peers cannot stand him. His lack of character is what is difficult to swallow. He thinks he is the only one who could be a good President. Even in his speeches sounds like an Evangelical preacher.
    After naming Fiorina as his VP keeps trying. Also asked
    Claire Lopez and Frank Gaffney to be his advisors.
    Only for appearances. He is not listening to them. They are trying to tech him according to Lopez. It will backfire on him.
    Take a chance because Trump is not as unknown as you think.
    I hope to see JERUSALEM as Israel’s capital.

  23. Trump laid a good clear foreign policy direction for the USA. He seems Pro Israel.

    Like all the egos before him he says he will attempt to solve the Israeli Palestinian conflict. He views all things in the world as a competitive transaction. He says his competitive nature forces him to try and do the deal.

    This is a dangerous ego driven syndrome that no one knows how it will play out. This is also the danger of a Trump Presidency that no one can foresee in all aspects if he does beat Hillary Clinton.

    Clearly from my viewpoint is way better to take a risk on the unknown Trump as to the completely foreseeable impending disaster of a Hillary Clinton Presidency.

  24. bernard ross Said:

    Trump will be willing to listen and examine the real facts of Israels defamation, as he already has, and may thus be willing to take a new direction.

    Trump might really move the embassy to Jerusalem as a matter of principle.

  25. I saw the Trump speech and agree with the policies… the america first overiding principle is 100% correct as a prime directive for originating policies. Our policies have been shaped by globalism first. Its all a return to common sense that everyone can understand. with an America First prime directive Israel will do greatly and be a #1 American ally in reality as opposed to talk. Trump will be willing to listen and examine the real facts of Israels defamation, as he already has, and may thus be willing to take a new direction. Israel needs a new direction that puts Israel First and that DOES NOT contradict America First. Trump hit the nail on the head and most importantly has identified Islamic terror as the #1 priority both in immigration and domestically. We may have a chance to avoid the fate of Europe if we vote Trump. Everyone else is more worried about offending others.

    He keeps embarrassing himself by showing how hungry he is for the position, refuses to see the reality of the situation. He might be book smart but nobody can stand him

    ” he doth have a lean and hungry look”. Julius Caesar Shakespeare.

  27. @ ArnoldHarris:
    Just about forty minutes ago Cruz spoke saying very much the same things almost to the dot Trump had said in his earlier speech.
    Fiorina is speaking right now. He asked her to be his running mate for the Vice Presidency.
    I know that imitation is a kind of flattery but, this is a bit too much. Cruz had the audacity to ask the other candidates in the race to drop out of the race that he could have more influence in it. He is in the same position others were when he asked them to quit the race. Shouldn’t he take his own advise?
    What I do not understand is, how someone who does not have the backing of others in the Senate or the House for a simple vote to pass a law is, so presumptuous as to assume that if others leave the race he will be more successful.
    He keeps embarrassing himself by showing how hungry he is for the position, refuses to see the reality of the situation. He might be book smart but nobody can stand him.
    How does he expect to govern without the backing of his peers?
    Cruz is a current looser asking a past looser to join his ticket. It makes me wonder why does he wants it so bad. Does he has an ulterior motive? His ego has giving him an overblown image of his himself.
    Hum…What is he covering up? Ambition by itself does not account for his insistence that he is the one and, he deserves to be president.
    Any ideas about that Harris? What an AH for a guy who supposedly is very intelligent.
    The best candidate for Israel and America is Donald Trump.

  28. A short while ago, I watched and listened to the entirety of Trump’s invited foreign policy speech in Washington DC. It was more than merely “presidential”. It was in fact the most forceful, comprehensively-scoped, and concisely-delivered policy speech I have seen or heard since the Reagan era.

    Nearly all of Trump’s massive rallys and impromptu interviews with television journalists have shown Trump as a forceful but repetitive person who talks without notes. But on this occasion, he wisely chose a prepared speech and use of a teleprompter. Many people will find reason to disagree with what they think are will be his policies, if he is nominated and if he wins the general election. But having witnessed Trump and a teleprompter, I think most people will only hesitantly regard him any more as any sort of buffoon. Because today, in that Washington foreign policy speech, he stood in comparison with some of the best of the great leaders of the United States.

    I wrote “if” when describing Trump’s likelihood of being nominated this summer, and then in November, elected to the Presidency of the United States. But all things considered, I am certain he will be nominated and will be elected as well.

    He will prove to be the opposite of all the misgovernment the USA has suffered since the era of James Earl Carter. And America First will not mean Israel Last.

    In the 19th century Mrs. Landau of New Braumfels, Texas baked matzot for the entire state of Texas and all the Jews who resided there in. Her husband and she had a sundry store in the German speaking town of New Braumfels.

    Her husband built her a table where she could roll out her dough with a long rolling pin. She used rolls of his spurs to poke holes in the dough for baking in special ovens. Then the mazot would be boxed and shipped.

    It is the custom in Texas to place Bluebonnet flowers on the Seder table. The “old timers ” would never say, next year in Jerusalem” because the believed they had found the ” Promised Land” in Texas.

    The family is still honored in New Braumfels with wonder park , on the Guadalupe River, named for them.

    Being a totally self-reliant kind of woman, my wife Stefi bakes our own matzot. Easy to mix, easy to bake, easy to eat, and just as legitimately Jewish as ghe overpriced crap most people buy at their local supermarkets. Also, Stefi’s matzot doesn’t crumble up into itzy-bitzi crumbs like the boxed stuff from the supermarket.

    And all that is part of our philosophy of do-it-yourself Judaism. Ivrit. Which is a hell of a lot more than nearly all of the six million American quasiJews can or will ever do for Am Yisrael.

    Thanks Bear….getting tougher and tougher here. I live in a Jewish part of town mixed with gentiles. I went to the local grocery store to stock up for Pesach and was alarmed to discover that the Kosher Jewish section was gone!

    I asked a clerk about it and he said “Oh that hahaha we got rid of it!” I told him that was not a good thing to do as there are alot of Jewish people in the neighhourhood and there are other grocery stores who still have a kosher section. He just shrugged. I said ‘ There are alot of us who would like to leave Canada probably even more than you would like to see us gone!” I said it oh so nicely with a smile on my face.

    I ended up going to a small Jewish grocery store that recently relocated out of the area.

  32. George Soros Only Funder of ‘Immigrant Voters Win PAC’

    Soros is funding the muslim invasions of the west which of course is an existential danger to the Jews. Wherever there is an increase in muslims there is an increase in violence and anti semitism. Another danger to Jews is that most folks consider soros to be a Jew and cite him as evidence of a Jewish conspiracy to destroy the west. Sometimes I wonder who targeted assassinations should be targeted towards, who is really the greater danger?

    Ok and the Great Plains States are riddled with fractures. The Rio Grande , from Co. to the Gulf of Mexico is a facture line. The Western Slope of the Rockies is heading North. Earthquakes are quite common in South Eastern CO.
