Free Israel. Free Jewish Students and Professors. Free Jewish Students from Campuses Where They Are Being Persecuted.


Free Israel. Free Jewish Students and Professors. Keep them from harm and abuse in colleges such as Columbia, USC, and Yale. I really cannot believe we are having this discussion in our society today. But with our economy, lives and society turned upside down by Joe Biden and his liberal socialist/communist Democrat Party along with complicit state governments run by incoherent and delusional haters of our country, the hatred of Israel and people of Jewish faith should be no surprise.

I and many others have had enough of the anti-Israel and Pro-Hamas demonstrations we have seen on our college campuses and through the illegal protesting at airports, highways and other public places in our country and world. I and many others have simply had enough of the surreptitious posture of feckless leaders like Connecticut’s King Gov. Ned Lamont the Unaccountable making statements about the Yale protests such as “I think broadly speaking (the anti-Israel protests) been a peaceful demonstration over a cause people believe in,” https://ctexaminer.com/2024/04/23/rise-in-antisemitic-incidents-spark-fear-security-concerns-in-connecticut/. I and many others have had enough of cowardly legislatures such as Connecticut’s not cutting off state funding to schools like Yale until such time as the abuses cease. I and many others have had enough of the silence of elected officials overall, especially Jewish Democrats in not condemning the terrorist actions of Hamas and the murdering in cold blood of over 1,200 Jewish people on October 7, 2023. I and many others want to know why our work, travel and education must be violated by these protestors. I and many others wonder why we must endure their incoherent psychobabble nightly on television and wonder why these attention-seeking spoiled brats are not summarily arrested, or at least summarily ignored by now. Many Taxpayers are sickened that their hard-earned tax dollars have been sent in all sorts of financial benefits to many of these same Universities where it seems like these protests are nurtured and encouraged.

Yale, Columbia, USC, and New York Universities come to mind as being models for anti-Jew and anti-Semitic conduct by observing what is taking place on their campuses. Universities where learning obviously no longer has a place for the students and professors of the Jewish faith who attend and teach there. Racism and bigotry reign supreme for these woke, liberal cesspools of supposed learning and diversity that Taxpayers help to fund.

As an educator, my view of the targeting of Jewish people is ironic, if not dastardly. The Jewish people have always prized the gift and virtue of education as one of their highest priorities. This thirst for knowledge reaches back to Biblical times. Boys aspiring to become rabbis had to memorize the first five books of the Old Testament by the time they were thirteen. The Torah reinforces the forty-eight (48) scriptural virtues, many having to do with education. My friend and colleague Tony De Angelo pointed out on the Lee Elci Show that the goal of Senator Joe Lieberman’s mother was to encourage him to be the first Jewish President of the United States. So, it would seem perversely apropos that the most devastating attack upon the Jewish people would be against their education. (And it is also a blessing that Joe Lieberman is not alive to see the travesty that is taking place against his people at his beloved Yale University, especially with such tragedy engendered by the modern-day version of his Democratic party).

Moreover, having taught for over 42 years on a college level, I have instructed many students of all different faiths including Jewish students. In my own observation these Jewish students excel in their studies. They try to better themselves through education. They have a true respect and tradition with many colleges and universities throughout the world. Why is it socially acceptable now to strip them of this achievement? Why is it acceptable to satisfy these protestors who are in the minority in their beliefs and twisted ideologies of terrorism? Where are the leaders of these colleges? They obviously are ill equipped to remain in their highly paid positions of power if they are so blind to what is happening on their campuses. Campuses that are now segregated between Jews and non-Jews. Campuses where Jews are being persecuted regularly. What happened to the rights of all students, of all faiths?

Are we as a people just going to stand back as those did in the 1930's when the Nazi's started rounding people of the Jewish faith to begin the Holocaust? Are we beginning the new Holocaust of 2024 with paid college demonstrators and their love of the Hamas terrorists? The protestors have no issues with the terrorist actions of Hamas and their murdering of over 1200 Jewish people in cold blood. And now, we have now absolutely no decency or respect for the human life especially if one professes the Jewish faith.

It is time for these protests to end. It is time for the Hamas terrorists to be eliminated and jailed for their crimes against humanity. It is time for educational institutions facilitating this abusive and abhorrent behavior to be defunded and starved out. Remember that this situation would not have reached this point of no return if these Hamas terrorists did not murder on October 7, 2023. And are the Hamas terrorists the true government of Palestine? It sure seems like it to many rational law-abiding citizens of the world.

Israel will always defend itself against those who wish would eliminate it and its right to freedom of religion and the right to self-government. Maybe, (just maybe) we could see a daily condemnation of these Hamas terrorists by both sides of our political aisle, followed by a withholding of educational grant funding. Maybe (just maybe) we could see the entire Connecticut legislature pass a unanimous joint resolution condemning this wretched behavior and withholding its state funding until this nightmare ends. If this were to occur, it would be the first time in the past four years that the horrific Biden and Lamont Administrations did something right for both religious freedoms, and the free world.

Why on God’s Green Earth Is President Biden Running For Another Term? Why?

Are you kidding me?  President Joe Biden wants to run for another term for President?  Why?  His administration has failed our country daily since he has taken office.  The list is never ending with his failures as President.  Do you really think you are better off than you were in 2020? 

If we are accepting of the candidacy of Joe Biden, we must also accept the following achievements of his Presidency during his term:

We must accept an endless nightmare at our open borders with unchecked illegal immigration resulting in a massive uptick in human trafficking, illegal drug cartels running rampant, and a new drug crisis.

We must accept the horrific and humiliating withdrawal in Afghanistan with a massive loss of American lives, technology and military secrets/weapons being lost forever.

We must accept a new energy crisis with the contrived shutoff of plentiful American energy sources, resorting back to a foreign energy dependence with massive increases in energy prices, spot shortages and an economically incoherent new green energy manifesto that is being force fed upon the country.

We must accept and open our homes and personal property to unrelenting, unchecked, and unpunished crime, thefts, and murders, as allowing these horrors to persist will somehow reduce them.  This delusional approach will magically make crime go away with no more bonds needing to be posted, no prosecution for shoplifting that is costing retailers $95 billion dollars in 2022, and no more outstanding arrest warrants that are no longer being pursued by de-funded, demoralized, and hated police departments in our country.

We must accept runaway Democrat Party endorsed inflation that has stripped economic growth from our economy.  The loss of personal wealth, especially by retirees, has been great and painful and such is apparently embraced and condoned by the multi-millionaires who run the Democrat Party.  Prices for food are incredibly high, leaving the middle class hungry with dwindling if any personal savings.  Businesses still in some cases have not recovered from the heavily-hyped Covid crisis, and many citizens have lost their businesses and life savings due to economically incoherent Democrat economic policies.

We must accept the war on families, parents, and religion without question.  Why are the most sacred institutions in our country hated so much by these Democrat elitists and Marxists?  Aren't parents responsible for their children not an out-of-control liberal government?  I thought freedom of religion was one of the founding foundations of our country. Why are Catholics now "terrorists"?  

We must accept that Joe and Hunter Biden can profit off their selling of American influence, policies and American Taxpayers monies with no ramifications or guilt.  The constant unfolding influence peddling scandal in which the Biden's are involved is one of the greatest scandals in our nation's history and should be treated as such.  It reeks of treason and corruption, and a total disdain for the common American.  It should sicken Americans on both sides of the aisle for its deceit and deception of our country's principles.

We must accept the stereophonic incompetency of Biden-esque policies such as “Bidenomics”, unenforced crime, and sanctuary state status being parroted  in decaying and disintegrating Blue States, assisted by the mindless obedience of thoughtless political creatures such as Kathy Hochul in New York, Gavin Newsom in California, and our own King Ned Lamont the Unaccountable in Connecticut who “kept us all safe from Covid” while making Connecticut cities into war zones and promoting exploding electric buses for the sake of the god of climate change.

The time has come for a massive shift in the beliefs, creed, doctrine, ideology, and principles of American politics and American government if this country can survive at all.  Americans need to stop standing by idly hoping for this horror to end.  Americans must demand accountability with an end to this unscrupulousness and ineptitude called politics and government.  The Biden Administration needs to be stopped now and removed from power.  We see once again we have "Taxation without Representation".  This is truly the new 1776 moment in our country.  Enough is enough.

Why America Needs Real Leadership Again

 Many people today believe America needs real leadership again.  They believe our country needs real leadership in many areas of our economy, government and society.  They believe young boys and girls need real ethical and genuine role models to look up to and to emulate.  They believe that America is on the wrong path, being a path of decline, decay and destruction of ethics, freedom, and its real history.  They long for normalcy.  The common men and women of our country, the great silent majority who are law abiding citizens that go to work daily producing with their abilities and who help others in need, are fed up with the incoherent gibberish, government ineptitude and lies that they are forced to endure on a daily basis.  In sum, we have a leadership crisis in our country today stemming all the way from the White House, to places like the Governor's Mansion in Hartford CT where King Ned Lamont The Unaccountable, resides and marches daily in lockstep with the parade of aimless chaos surrounding him and his fellow Democrat leaders.

Common sense does not seem to exist in our country today.  The Democrat Party political ideology littered with deceptions, lies and falsehoods that must be embraced, promoted and accepted with no questions asked.  When a normal, forthright American does not agree with its socialist creed and doctrine they are immediately discredited, disgraced and vilified by the operatives of the Democrat Party political ideology.  One example is a woman who complains about the unsafe conditions in her area, but she is dismissed and ridiculed by her local government. She truly is afraid to go to the grocery store to shop.  She is placed in further fear of being mugged and having her purse, groceries and car stolen from her when she goes back to her vehicle after shopping.  But in this leadership void we are obligated to live with the the constant threat of crime. Crime that somehow according to the Democrat Party political ideology can magically go away with no more arrests or convictions. Many District Attorneys follow precisely the Democrat Party political ideology when it comes to criminals, the victims of crime are the now the criminals, the criminal has more rights than the victims of crime.  At the same time the Democrat Party political ideology leaders are all safe behind their gated communities and fortresses they have built for themselves along with their private security forces they employ.

Sports is now a political tool of the Democrat Party political ideology where radical fringe groups must have their own nights at games. Religious beliefs must be destroyed also, as was the example of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, honoring a sickening anti-Catholic, anti-nun group before a recent game.  If a Christian athlete speaks out against these events and or does not wish to participate due to their religious beliefs they are demonized.  The Democrat Party political ideology apparently will no longer accept freedom of religion when it does not suit their agenda.

Then, the Democrat Party political ideology list of wrongs that want to be made right seems endless.  In the opinion of many the the Democrat Party political ideology is illogical, unethical and just plain wrong.  The Biden Administration is a great example of corruption and embracing the Democrat Party political ideology with runaway inflation, rampant crime, a massive loss of personal wealth over the past three years, an open border crisis, a massive illegal drug crisis, a transgender children's crisis, a National Debt crisis, an Afghanistan war crisis, a new war crisis between Russia and the Ukraine that taxpayers must pay for with no questioning, a selling of the Vice President's office for financial gain, and an energy crisis just to name a few issues since 2021.

Why must America accept this garbage?  America needs real leadership again not the Democrat Party political ideology that is a failure in everything it addresses.  Real leaders in America need to stand up and be heard.  The same way they were heard in 1776.
