I have to actually laugh on a couple counts: [View all]

1. All these tough guys who brandish their flags, work at being storm troopers for the federal government, talk a big game about being like Rambo, show up in body armor, helmets, semi automatic weapons, en masse to take into custody some poor guy who works picking fruit or working for a roofing company or the like. Watching a roof being replaced the other day across the street from my home by an all-Hispanic crew, I thought to myself I’d like to see one of these ICE guys carry a 4 x 8 piece of plywood, 2 1/2 stories up a ladder, balanced on the top of his head. He’d need a frigging parachute and rescue lines before he’d try. Tough guys. Yeah.

2. You know this Mamdani fella running for mayor of NYC? His daddy was a counselor at a JEWISH SLEEPAWAY CAMP in the 1960’s. I have been made to understand that he was, objectively, for want of a better word, an asshole. The kids apparently made fun of him which may have assisted mightily in giving rise to this apparent family hatred of Israel. I’m not making this up: I was told this by someone whom I’ve known my entire adult life who was a camper in this guy’s bunk for eight weeks. True story.

Well, that’s all I can come up with at the moment.
