New Yorkers enrolled in SNAP will be able to earn 40% more in Health Bucks, a program that matches what SNAP beneficiaries spend at farmers markets and farm stands. His Honor also launched a new SNAP and Medicaid Resources webpage to help New Yorkers navigate new federal work requirements, determine whether they qualify for exemptions, and to maintain access to the food assistance and health care they rely on. Statewide, recent polling indicates that Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman, an Islamophobic champion of ICE and good-for-nothing political hack, is behind double digits to incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul (D).

"Great job, Zohran!!"


At a Dummkopf Trumpf political rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina, an attendee floored a Faux News reporter during an interview, as follows:

  • Faux News Reporter: "The rally is being started here in Rock Hill and we've got Tom right here, who is kind enough to answer a few questions. Tom, why are you here?"
  • Rally Attendee Tom: "Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to get involved and go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre, but this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here."
  • Faux News Reporter: "Wait, the Jonestown Massacre?"
  • Rally Attendee Tom: "That's right, there's nothing like seeing a cult right up front, man."
  • Faux News Reporter: "Alright. So maybe this is not a Trumpf supporter. So are some pro- and anti-Trumpf people here today."
    Senile Satan

    Novelist Patricia Highsmith (1921 " 1995), who gave us The Talented Mr. Ripley, neatly summarizes America in this paragraph from Strangers on a Train (1950). This suspense novel was published decades before NYS Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Dummkopf Trumpf to "unconditional discharge" (10 Jan 2025). Here, protagonist Guy Haines reveals to his fiance Anne his disgust with his soon-to-be ex-wife Miriam (p. 44): She's everything that should be loathed ... .Sometimes I think I hate everything in the world. No decency, no conscience. She's what people mean when they say America never grows up. America rewards the corrupt ... .. This excerpt explains how abolitionist John Brown could be caught, tried, sentenced, and executed, all within an astonishing 45 days (18 Oct - 2 Dec 1859), yet treasonous Jefferson Davis could outlive A. Lincoln unscathed by 24 years or how Jeffrey Epstein or Senile Satan could get away with their evil for so long: Corruption in America.

    During this Sunday's NYC Marathon kicking off at 0940 HRS, WQXR-FM will play all nine of Beethoven's symphonies. Thanks to Senile Satan who cut federal funding for public broadcasting, WQXR-FM is now completely reliant on donors to survive. For those of us on budgets and don't want to spend money on SiriusXM, Spotify, premium packages on YouTube, cable TV, or Apple Music, WQXR-FM plays classical music 24/7 commercial free. Their curators, such as Lauren Rico (formerly at SiriusXM), do an excellent job. Preference of conductors for 1 Nov: Beethoven's Third: Arturo Toscanini; the Sixth: Aaron Copland or Leonard Bernstein; the Seventh: Kent Nagano or Seiji Ozawa; and of course for the Ninth, Herbert von Karajan.

    Dummkopf Trumpf gets along well with the Mohammedans like Dr. Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI), the next US Senator for Michigan.

    Trumpf even attends Islamic conferences and makes money with them. See?


    And White House staffers told Maggie Haberman that Senile Satan has a certain male "type," like handsome NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D-NY), another Muslim.

    "FUNNY"


    Soon to be minted an American citizen, Alfred Hitchcock (and his screenwriters) presented a more "cleaned up" cinematic version of the novel in their 1951 film, omitting the issues of corruption in America. This was during the notorious House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) witch-hunts.

    Hitchcock also changed the location from Patricia Highsmith's Texas to the American northeast; the action taking place in cities along train stops between NYC and Washington DC. The director also inserted a sympathetic US Senator -- the future father-in-law of Guy Haines -- something Patricia Highsmith who was a member of the Young Communist League at Barnard College -- may or may not have approved of.

    "FUNNY"


    And Bibi's phonus-bolonus Iranian MANPADS threat against the Orange Doofus in powerful Turkiye after the NATO Summit in Ankara tricked the so-called "leader of the free world" to abscond away like a poltroon in a hot dog cart or catering truck, while leaving his staff vulnerable to the phantom non-existent threat which the Trumpf junta took seriously because they purged the USIC of experienced analysts and investigators.

    Turkiye's experienced and formidable security services have yet to find one molecule of evidence of an Iranian plot against the White House Windbag -- especially after their Emniyet established an airtight cordon sanitaire around the NATO summit to protect all the world leaders.

    Experienced Middle East analysts know that Iran wouldn't dishonor their neighbor and trading partner Turkiye with such an idiotic attempt on Turkish soil or in their airspace.

    In The Police's final and Grammy-winning album Synchronicity (released 17 June 1983), they sang "you'll be, wrapped around my finger...."

    This refrain applies aptly to blunderer Dummkopf Trumpf.

    The anti-AIPAC blue wave is just right around the corner -- watch the results on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

    "FUNNY"

    The point of this OP wasn't to bash Joe Biden per se as he slowly nears "that undiscovered country from whence no man has returned," but to provide an insight into the mindset of conservative Pennsylvania where he grew up.

    Joe Biden's previous insensitivity towards People of Color manifested itself in 2024 with his insensitivity towards the Palestinian people being slaughtered in Gaza wholesale by the Israeli Death Forces (IDF). It was no secret that the late Pope Francis disapproved of Biden's handling of Israel.

    The midterm elections are right around the corner. Pennsylvania is basically a Red State sandwiched in-between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. We could see the right-wing nature of the state today with politicians like John Fetidman (D-Israel) or Josh Shapiro (D-Israel), staunch vanguards of AIPAC, ICE, and the status quo.

    If one watches That Championship Season (1982), one could visualize Joe Biden as one of those white Catholic basketball players attending their annual reunion. In fact, one is a politician in a heated campaign which he may lose. These are the same bigots who would oppose desegregation and busing, as Kamala Harris pointed out about Senator Biden's 1970's record and his ability to "reach across the aisle" to white racist senators.

    The corollary film to watch -- if one has time -- is the epochal movie The Deer Hunter (1978, directed by Michael Cimino). This movie depicts white patriotic blue collar Pennsylvanians during the Vietnam War.

    As the tragedy of that useless war befell two of the patriotic Pennsylvanians in the film, in real life the tragedy of the useless Iraq War would later befall the son of POTUS Joe Biden, Beau, whose exposure to lethal carcinogens in the US military burn pits in Iraq led to his cancer.

    Sometimes art can reflect life better than strict textbook political analysis.

    No hard feelings towards anyone (even the Israeli and AIPAC stalkers who troll drudge.com).

    "Run, Coriolanus, run!"

    "Oh! My hair!"


    "FUNNY"



    Last week the sinister Israeli security services arrested Brad Lander (D-NY) and dozens of Israeli and international Samaritans in the occupied West Bank while accompanying Palestinian farmers harvesting olives. Anton Goodman, acting CEO of Rabbis for Human Rights, reported that 28 Israeli members of his delegation and another 42 foreign citizens were being held for interrogation at the police station in nearby Beitar Illit.

    Brad Lander, good friend of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D-NY), easily beat wealthy Daniel Sachs Goldman (D-NY) -- an AIPAC funds recipient -- in the Democratic Party primary earlier this year.

    Mr Lander will represent New York's 10th CD after election day on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 and his swearing in at noon at the US Capitol on 3 Jan 2027.

    Brad Lander is a genuine mensch and we're lucky he wasn't tortured by the IDF or beaten up or shot by Israeli Settlers who have targeted other American politicians and journalists.

    Poor, poor Coriolanus, our resident Shakespearean has either suffered a stroke or completely missed the mark.

    But somebody thought my comment was "FUNNY" (guess who?).

    [Eyeroll]

    Propaganda, Clownshack?

    Ouch! I thought we were pals!

    "Trumpf has given Putin and Netanyahu everything they've wanted and more."

    We can contend the same about "Genocide Joe" who gave ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu everything he wanted in 2024.

    This OP was just a gentle reminder for all of us in Amerikkka that we are in the middle of this massive maelstrom and economic meltdown because of AIPAC Democrats and their acquiesence to Israel in 2024. Putting the needs of Israeli Jews (7.2m) ahead of American Jews (7.7m) has cost the US dearly.

    With "Genocide Joe" eventually reaching the "country from whence no man has returned" because of cancer, this commentary was meant to analyze his mindset.

    This OP was also for the younger folks on drudge.com who may have never watched That Championship Season (1982) and its stellar cast.

    But back to the present: AIPAC Democrats and the blood of 75,000 slaughtered Palestinians on their hands will now pander for our votes on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026, get them, and the horrible status quo will continue.

    These very same AIPAC Democrats are the dinosaurs that want to "fix" or "reform" ICE and DHS, not completely abolish them and return INS to its pre-9/11 state with Immigration Judges (IJ) and due process for aliens, migrants, amd refugees.

    "Whence is that knocking?
    How is 't with me when every noise appalls me?

    What hands are here! Ha, they pluck out mine eyes.
    Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood

    Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
    The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
    Making the green one red."

    And thank you, Johnny Hotsauce.

    "But, hey! In 2024 we got the 140 gosh-darned Israeli hostages home. So there, you stupid peaceniks, antiwar Samaritans, pro-Palestine volunteers, pacifists, and military veterans against war!"


    POTUS Joe Biden (D) now receives a world record $417,000 per annum federal pension or approximately $10 per Palestinian slaughtered in Gaza by the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) during his Democratic Party administration.

    Y'know, in terms of social unrest, I'd rather have Mexican and Latinos immigrating to the USA, legally or illegally, than Islamic immigrants.

    As this Democrat below would say, "that's very white of moder8."


    Standing beside His Honor is Brad Lander, the NYC Jew who easily trounced his AIPAC rival in the Democratic Party primary earlier this year and will go on to represent NY's 10th CD after being sworn in on 3 Jan 2027.

    "FUNNY"

    Coda: American and English writers such as A. Conan Doyle, Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, Agatha Christie, Charles Dickens, and F. Scott Fiztgerald used subtle or overt language to ensure the reader knew the character was Jewish: e.g. "Hook-nosed" or "beady eyed." Everyone knew that the "Napoleon of Crime" -- by narrative description -- Professor Moriarty -- was Jewish. This was a needless aspersion, as in the case of Fagin in Oliver Twist.

    What would it matter if Lex Luthor or the Joker were Jewish or Arabic?

    When the comic book The Fantastic Four debuted in 1962, everyone knew that test pilot Ben Grimm -- who would become the orange rocky golem super-strong The Thing -- was Jewish. This was implicit by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Back then, the Comics Code prevented overt identification of one's religious denomination.

    Ernest Hemingway wrote that the best thing to have ever happened to a Jewish protagonist -- a skilled pugilist from Princeton University -- was to have "his nose flattened" (The Sun Also Rises, 1926).

    Shakespeare did not disparage the money-lender Shylock any further than he had to -- just as he treated England's eternal enemy -- the Irish. He ridiculed the Irish just enough during a late 17th-century insurrection just to please the London audience -- but no more. (Nota Bene: Jews were expelled from England in 1290 and were finally allowed to return to Old Albion in 1656 under authoritarian Oliver Cromwell, years after the Bard of Avon's short life (23 April 1564 - 23 April 1616).

    To his immortal credit, New York City writer Damyon Runyan did not disparage other ethnicities or races in his canon of work. When Runyan wrote stories which included the character "Big ---," everyone realized the colorful individual was an "HBM" (huge black male). But this was not a slur on "Big ---" and his character was not maligned. This "HBM" was accepted in the mostly white and rowdy Broadway crowd, part of Gotham's tapestry, just like Nicely-Nicely or Sky Masterson.

    The slang use of the term "Shylock" originated from Shakespeare's money-lending character in the Merchant of Venice.

    When the all-Sicilian "Black Hand" was finally suppressed in NYC by the NYPD at the fin-de-siecle --
    Ernest Borgnine portrayed an Italian NYPD officer battling the "Black Hand" in Pay or Die! (1960) -- the Italian mafia began to absorb other ethnic gangs into their midst to make money together.

    Also recall The Godfather scene when the mustachioed man in the white suit is plugged on the street with a revolver by the young Don Corleone. The victim was a leader of the "Black Hand."

    The first non-Sicialians to cooperate with the mafia in the US were the organized Jewish gangs -- e.g. Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel -- and the Purple Gang in Detroit -- followed later by the unruly Irish gangs which required more "convincing" (the "Westies" -- see State of Grace (1990) starring Sean Penn.)

    African-American organized crime also cooperated with the mafia in the Bronx and Harlem -- something which led to the 24 Oct 1935 demise of Dutch Schultz (this week 91 years ago). An excellent film and cult classic about organized crime in Harlem is Across 110th Street (1972) starring Yaphet Kotto.

    Uneducated Italians in the mafia were introduced to Yiddish terms when the cooperative era started.

    The "Vig" derives from the Yiddish word viggorish -- the usurious interest rate forced on borrowers.

    The slang term Shylock -- which evolved into an antisemitic trope over the centuries -- was used by the mafia to describe loansharks of any ethnic origin and was most likely introduced into their vernacular by either the Jewish or Irish gangsters who were slightly or more educated than their Sicilian counterparts.

    When Dumpkopf Trumpf uses the word "Shylock," he is merely using the word he is accustomed to in NYC when he dealt with mafioso in the 1980s like Sammy "the Bull" Gravano and others. His racist father probably used that term also. Trumpf has no idea the word came from Shakespeare or that for many outside NYC this has an antisemitic connotation.

    I used the term "Shylock" a few times in official reporting, alternating that word with loanshark, so as not to be repetetive in my writing and my supervisors did not diapprove.
