Hi Clownshack:

How are you today, old friend?

Thanks for posting the words of my fellow Bronx High School of Science alum.

When NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) declared that he would order the NYPD to arrest notorious international fugitives Benjamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin if they ever step foot into NYC jurisdiction for UNGA, people should believe him.

That's another reason why AIPAC, Michael Bloomberg, Alan Dershowitz, John Fetterman, and Andrew Cuomo did their utmost worst to try and defeat him.

A few weeks ago, someone posted here (or another platform) that the Democratic Party way forward for 2026 and beyond was not to follow Zohran Mamdani's path to political success, but rather Gov Abigail Anne Spanberger's (D-VA), formula.

This competent young woman-- a former CIA officer-- caught a break by having a father who was a US Postal Inspector. So, she applied and worked for the hard-to-get-into agency while waiting for CIA to finish their security clearance on her. Pays to have a familial connection, even in the federal civil service.

This specific author who pushed Abigail Spanberger's winning formula over Zohran Mamdani's, inexplicably skipped over two other American candidates with similar platforms and messages who are, so far, doing well in their respective races: Graham Platner (D-ME) and James Talarico (D-TX).

So, why would this "Democratic" political writer promote Abigail over Zohran?

As a Congresswoman, "Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) supported delivering more bombs for Israel to drop on the same people she votes to send humanitarian aid to."

"And Karen had eyes like Elizabeth Taylor" (Henry Hill in Goodfellas).

And Cleopatra was Greek, the last of the Ptolemic line.

Here's a play from Shakespeare's predecessor, the immortal Christopher Marlowe.

You'll recognize the same actors.

Dr. Faustus wanted to meet the "most beautiful" woman in history.

I re-read the play a few weeks ago.

Funny how Dummkopf Trumpf helps out the world's two most notorious ethnic cleansers.

He's simply a paragon of virtue.

No shortage of s***bags in the US and Dummkopf Trumpf pardoned a horde of them as soon he seized power on 20 Jan 2025. And it's anyone's guess how many of these lunatics are in ICE.

Mack Davis didn't seem to join one of the many Michigan white supremacist militias.

Most serial killers operate alone.

This sociopath will be free at the age of 30 and will have learned more vile things from other white supremacists in stir when he rejoins society in 2033.

I tell my Catholic friends to confess to rabbis instead of priests because the Solomons seem to have a better sense of humor than the Padres.

Once I caught somebody cheating at cards on Saturday right after she told us she was going to attend 5PM Sunday Mass.

"Confess!"

Thanks for the info, Marine.

BTW: Not so tough giving up movies or TV.

I watched so many films in my halycon days that I provide leads for folks today on cult classics or hidden gems.

Giving up the Cyclops gives me more time for reading books, NYT crossword puzzles, and playing bridge or chess.

Not too much tennis for me anymore, as the hooves of my Bucephalus have aged a wee bit.

I heard years ago that the USN reserved the best cooks and mess halls for the CPOs.

Grammatical corrected:

"In countries without AIPAC, the people tend to be less Islamophobic and not supportive of ethnic cleansing or genocide, unlike the US."

Below, dockworkers and Samaritans in Greece stopped an arms shipment to the Pariah nation.

**** UK Arms Shipment to Israel Seized in Belgium ****

Last year, dock workers in Italy and Greece went on a massive strike to stop arms shipments being sent to Israel.

They succeeded.

In countries without AIPAC, the people tend to be less Islamophobic and not supportive of ethnic cleansing or genocide like in the US.

Even the Pope goes to confession.

"Pope Francis, who is a Jesuit himself, has been reported to have Jesuit priests as confessors.

In the past, Popes have had confessors from the Capuchin order, known for their spiritual guidance roles in the Vatican."
