Why Mechanics Are QUITTING

"Sarah Tuttle-Singer  - “Hide your Jewish star,” my homeroom teacher whispered to me on the first day of 9th grade.

“What?!?” I asked.

“Don’t let them see!” she reached for the silver star dangling in the soft spot at the base of my neck. “I’m Jewish too!,” she whispered, in an accent reppin the shtetl. “It is not safe to let them see!”

Them? Oh, you mean the other 9th graders?

Them? The guy with the pink hair and the earring slouched in the corner.  The girl who wore silver star stickers over her pimples?

Them? The girl with the dred locks and hemp necklace. The boy with the glasses?

Two feelings swam through me.

1. Chill, this is LA. They play the Hanukkah Song on the radio, and half the school is MIA during the High Holydays.

2. OMG, what a life she must have had to make her afraid, even now, even years after moving to America.

• But that was the beginning of a journey for me – a journey where I became That Kind of Jew: I’d wear a chai (in gold) or a magen david (in silver) depending on my eye makeup. I had an Israel Defense Forces T-shirt (olive) and a Coca-Cola in Hebrew T-shirt (red) …

But the thing is, even in LA where you can float down Fairfax Boulevard in a sea of yarmulkes, where I swear to you I once heard a guy wearing a big old diamond cross around his neck tell his son to “stop schlepping,” where they sell Hanukkah gelt at the checkout aisle at RiteAid, I know that the tides are shifting, and the old nasty anti semitism scourage of the earth is eking out into our waters, contagious and vile. 

From whispered  little cruelties to tirades  on Fox News to signs on freeway  overpasses to outright  mayhem and murder. To actual violence against Jewish people. 

To the wholesale slaughter of 1400 people on a cool blue morning in Israel and the ensuing gaslighting and justification  and even  outright glee across the world in the face of our suffering, It’s true:  A LOT of People hate Jews.  

We are living  it right now.

No one is pretending anymore.

A lot of people hate Jews, and wish more of us would just line up and die. 

But am I scared? No

Angry?  Hell yeah.  But I’m not scared. 

We are strong — sure, there are a lot of people who want to wipe us off the map but that is never going to happen. Want to know why? Because we we won’t let them.  

For the first time in far too long, we are united. 

Moyshe has left the ghetto, ladies and gentlemen.  And the day we start hiding our identity is the day we begin to believe we have something to apologize for….

It’s a lot to take on, I know — it’s a heavy weight to carry, sure.  But I would rather shoulder this burden with pride  and rock my Jewish star than tuck it back beneath my shirt with tears in my eyes.  

We have a chance to be the change we want to see in the world by meeting others who have no idea who we are or what we are about. And if we go out into the world with our shoulders back and a smile in our eyes maybe they’ll see us for who we are: people. Wonderful, proud, open, caring, insistently  thriving people  who grew from the roots of a deep and storied history. 

And if not? Their loss. And to HELL with them. 

Because we aren’t going anywhere and we won’t hide and we will shine on. Jewish and proud.

'Too Big To Fail' Banks - Are About to Fail Again - SETON MOTLEY

'Too Big To Fail' Banks - Are About to Fail Again - SETON MOTLEY

• The Bigger They Are…

"Big Banks are again about to destroy the global economy.
And this time - they’ll probably help execute the US’s coup de grace in the process.

After Big Banks in 2008 destroyed the global economy?
DC pretended to care about banks being “too big to fail.” - while giving the Big Banks about 29 trillion of our dollars.
DC then pretended their 2010 Dodd-Frank bank “reform” legislation - would end “too big to fail” banks.

Except by 2012 - Big Banks were already 30% bigger. 

Because the “reform” legislation - was already well into the process of murdering many 1,000s of small banks.
Having watched DC’s legislation murder many 1,000s of their competitors? Big Banks used DC’s bailout money to purchase the corpses - and their assets.

Flash forward to 2023. 

And the Big Banks - which DC pretended to end? Are about to end US...

The Dead End Of Victimhood Benefits Only Its Promoters - American Thinker - Vince Coyner
"For weeks, we’ve seen videos exposing Hamas’s depravity. 

Its soldiers’ blatant disregard for human life and the seeming joy with which they carried out their depravity was disheartening.
Sadly, this kind of depravity can be found closer to home, too, where videos abound of black crime across America, with people shot, pushed in front of trains, sucker punched, beaten to a pulp, and even killed by individuals, gangs, or groups of “teens.”
In both cases, the perpetrators have an ostensible enemy at whom their anger is directed. 

• For Hamas, it’s Jews, and for blacks, it’s whites. 

Apologists for both groups claim it’s the actions of the “oppressor” that caused the “victims” to react...

Biden's Approval Rating with Democrats Takes Double-Digit Hit Over Israel

Biden's Approval Rating with Democrats Takes Double-Digit Hit Over Israel: 

President Joe Biden’s most recent poll numbers have been taking a major hit — even among Democrats — as Americans finally begin to turn their attention to the coming 2024 race for the White House. And his actions in Israel are particularly hurting him among his own party.

Biden’s approval number suffered a drastic 11-point drop among Democrat voters in just the last month alone, according to Gallup Polling, Axios reported on Thursday.

Soros funneled $15 M-plus to groups rallying for Hamas

"Far-left billionaire kingmaker George Soros has funneled more than $15 million since 2016 to groups behind this month’s pro-Palestine protests, where demonstrators openly cheered Hamas militants’ craven terrorist attacks on Israel.
A Post examination of Open Society Foundations records shows Soros’ grant-making network gave $13.7 million of the money through Tides Center, a deep-pocketed lefty advocacy group that sponsors several nonprofits who’ve justified Hamas’ bloody attacks while claiming Palestinians obsessed with the eradication of the Jewish state are the real victims...

We are "wired" differently.-----The Day the Delusions Died | The Free Press

The Day the Delusions Died | The Free Press - By Konstantin Kisin 

• A lot of people woke up on October 7 as progressives and went to bed that night feeling like conservatives. What changed?

"When Hamas terrorists crossed over the border with Israel and murdered 1,400 innocent people, they destroyed families and entire communities. 

They also shattered long-held delusions in the West...
What changed?
The best way to answer that question is with the help of Thomas Sowell, one of the most brilliant public intellectuals alive today. 

In 1987, Sowell published A Conflict of Visions. 

In this now-classic, he offers a simple and powerful explanation of why people disagree about politics. We disagree about politics, Sowell argues, because we disagree about human nature. 

We see the world through one of two competing visions, each of which tells a radically different story about human nature.

• Those with “unconstrained vision” think that humans are malleable and can be perfected. They believe that social ills and evils can be overcome through collective action that encourages humans to behave better...We need only to say the right things, enact the right policies, and spend enough money, and we will suffer these social ills no more. This worldview is the foundation of the progressive mindset.
• By contrast, those who see the world through a “constrained vision” lens believe that human nature is a universal constant. No amount of social engineering can change the sober reality of human self-interest, or the fact that human empathy and social resources are necessarily scarce. People who see things this way believe that most political and social problems will never be “solved”; they can only be managed. This approach is the bedrock of the conservative worldview.

Hamas’s barbarism—and the explanations and celebrations throughout the West that followed their orgy of violence—have forced an overnight exodus from the “unconstrained” camp into the “constrained” one.
The Reality of Woke Ideology...

• According to the United Nations Environment Programme, excess nitrate in the environment “exacerbates climate change and depletes the ozone layer.”
• Nitrates enter the environment “from the use of synthetic fertilizers, the discharge of wastewater or the combustion of fossil fuels,” according to the UNEP, all of which would obviously be connected with dairy farming.
• Thus, the purported need to reduce the number of cattle per hectare. (A hectare is 10,000 square meters, or about 2.5 acres — just under 12,000 square yards.)

It doesn’t make them better actors; it makes them nuts.

It doesn’t make them better actors; it makes them nuts. John F. Di Leo 

"Just a random thought this morning…
How many of Marilyn Monroe’s problems were really caused by her difficult childhood and her difficult marriages?
I guess some would call this an “unpopular opinion” - but I attribute it to her acting classes at the actors studio.
She had starred in some of her greatest starring roles by the end of 1954, before she took any of those stupid classes, which occupied her for much of 1955.
Gentlemen prefer blondes, how to marry a millionaire, monkey business and the seven year itch all pre-dated her idiotic decision in 1955 to go to New York and study The Method.

• I think method acting warps the minds of most of the people who study it.
• It doesn’t make them better actors; it makes them nuts.

State-facilitated suicides jumped 31% in 2022, accounting for over 4% of all deaths in Canada | Blaze Media

State-facilitated suicides jumped 31% in 2022, accounting for over 4% of all deaths in Canada | Blaze Media:

Canada's Trudeau government recently released its fourth annual report on the northern nation's assisted-suicide regime, providing startling insights into the staggering number of lives that have been snuffed out by the state in recent years. Last year, 4.1% of all deaths across the country were the result of state-facilitated suicide, up almost one point over 2021. Hundreds of victims weren't moribund at the time of their executions. Previous reports have also cast doubt on whether all of these victims were voluntary or eligible.
