In New Jersey spring is a stubborn bitch and a tease. Temperatures will climb to nearly 70 and then plummet to the 40s (that's Fahrenheit, we don't recognize fru-fru Eurotrash Celsius numbers). Post dinner evenings can be quite pleasant. In 2018 we had two snowstorms in April.
This blog hasn't followed the Fentanyl Floyd trial to closely. Powerline has as they're in Minnesota, and they think the persecution did a great job. Ben Shapiro thinks the defense wrecked the persecution's case. Ben's cute the way he thinks facts matter more than feelings in 2021. Sometimes we think he should have been a rabbi. We shrug. To be clear, we're not rooting for Chauvin. Conservatives 'backing the blue' in 2021 should reconsider how they view the world.* We're not rooting for anyone. The only question remaining is whether or not the riots will be condemnatory or celebratory.
No post yesterday as we were swamped with QAnon stuff. Not Qbi Wan, but one of his, shall we say, padawans. We talked about some interesting stuff. Let's just call it Jew Anon.
Speaking of Jew Anon stuff, here's a long article about how the IDF's Iron Dome has changed the strategic calculus in Israel. Nutgraph, as the J-school non journos say: 'Questions remain about what comes next. Iron Dome gave Israel strategic depth and breathing space and enables Netanyahu to avoid new wars in Gaza. That was particularly true in the fall of 2018 when defense minister Avigdor Liberman resigned over Israel’s unwillingness to go back into Gaza. Israel has to wonder how the system will stack up against a major war with Hezbollah or Iranian-backed proxies. It has yet to face this test.' Remember, Gaza is just the warm up. Mowing the Lawn, the Israeli's call the Gaza campaigns.
In the long run it doesn't matter. The real threat is Hezbollah and Iran. When Bibi says 'we won't let Iran obtain nukes' he means we won't let Iran obtain nukes. Why do people not take the Jews seriously? As the late John McCain said, (Himself, Hell) the only thing worse than war with Iran is a nuclear Iran.
Our latest bit of collusion with the Soviets: 'Last week YouGov released a poll about the public image and rankings of the 50 American states plus Washington D.C. Respondents ranked their own state first 77% of the time, meaning larger states were at the top of the list and smaller states at the bottom. Washington D.C. finished dead. This is probably because of D.C.’s small population and Republicans loathing the District. Unsurprisingly Hawaii ranked first. This observer has been to the Aloha state. Honolulu is basically a midsized American city with great weather, beaches, and a lot of Japanese tourists. Signs leading to Pearl Harbor are printed in English and Japanese. Nevada is number 4; and people are probably thinking of Las Vegas.' Click on through.
Monday Metal...let's see, what are we listening to lately....Def Leppard's most underrated song. Stick with it till the end to hear those transitions. This song really clubs one over the head. Heck of an innovative video too:
*Sorry, this blog thinks the police exist to write tickets and we don't think we can count on them at 3 AM.
