"Ancient Rome was a city of immigrants, a pre-modern metropolis of perhaps a million people at its height, most of them immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. Generations of Jewish and Syrian migrants reshaped the imperial capital. These residents maintained traditions, languages, and customs from home, and participated in civic institutions that helped foster community at the local level."
"I, Claudius" celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. Tempus fugit
Pardoned Nazi January 6 runamok Jake Lang and phony Christian pastor Lorenzo Sewell led a horde of Islamomisists on a "Christian Crusader March" on a Dearborn City Council meeting, barking that their mob would "not surrender to Islam" nor the "Islamification of America." Riot police arrested twenty-two of these dangerous racist misfits. Nota Bene: Islamophobia is the irrational fear of Islam; Islamomisos is the irrational hatred of Islam, which is afflicting these violent AIPAC pod-people.
Muslim haters such as Jake Lang, Lorenzo Sewell, Laura Loomer, Scott LoBaido, Andrew Cuomo, and Alan Dershowitz are simply not good human beings. Samaritans may have concussed the malpariso in Minnesota (Jan 2026). Ouch!
White supremacist agit-prop
The American taxpayer-funded Israeli Death Forces (IDF) murdered six Palestinians, including a child, wounding a dozen others with a drone strike on a seaside cafe. The one-way ceasefire has only stopped Palestinian resistance fighters from combating extinction and not the non-stop serial killers of the Middle East, the psychopathic IDF.
Itamar Ben-Gvir wants 30 to 40 Palestinians liquidated in Gaza every night, not just a paltry six like today
Dr Ahmed El-Sayed (D-MI) is leading AIPAC pod-person Mike Rogers (R-MI) by at least seven points in recent polls as they vie to become the next US Senator for Michigan. Former POTUS Barack Obama (D) has yet to campaign for the popular physician which will further boost Dr. El-Sayed's lead in a state wracked by Trumpf Diarhhrea Syndrome (TDS), mass shootings, and purposeful FEMA neglect against Michiganders.
Dr Ahmed El-Sayed promotes "Medicare for all" in a state also dealing with homelessness

Yup.
Deborah Wasserman Schultz ought to be ashamed of herself.
Her entire career, healthcare program, and terrific retirement pension comes from all of our hard-earned money.
And she's been an AIPAC pod-person the moment she entered politics.
Like the privileged Deborah Wasserman Schultz knows about poverty and discrimination experienced by People of Color.
We may as well put a gringo in charge of Puerto Rico.
My friend who met both JFK and Dr Martin Luther King Jr told me some stories about this handsome Harlem congressman in the center of the photo: samepassage.org
The utterly demonic Jake Lang being warmly welcomed by the good people of Minnesota earlier this year.
This miscreant has also stalked and harassed the popular mayor of NYC, Zohran Mamdani (D).
"FUNNY"
*** Senile Satan's Wretched Concubine Has No Security Clearance ***
"Dummkopf Trumpf's closest aide, Natalie Harpy, declined multiple times over more than a year to seek a routine security clearance normally obtained by West Wing staffers to work at the White House.
Harpy's reasoning for declining to complete the process was unknown."

This is a lick on the USSS. All personnel that have routine physical access to POTUS must be strictly vetted. They are then given a "Yankee White" SAP clearance.
Yup. And Johnson Smith sadly went out of business many years ago.
Some company was liquidating their inventory online.
Remember this? Where's the Hypno-Coin?
That's the pizzeria, but I don't recall the double doors.
And decades later my friend buried his mother at the free Jewish cemetery a few miles south of there.
None of us could have possibly thought that.
At the old Queensboro Plaza subway station (westbound, 7, N, and R lines), walking up the stairs and through a "building" before the walkway and toll-stile, there was a tailor in a kiosk who sold belts, shoes, ties, scarves, gloves, cufflinks, stylus pens, umbrellas, and he sharpened knives (not switchblades) and he mended clothing and altered suits. He was able to make enough money to survive NYC rents for years.
And next to him was a pizzeria. Two slices of pizza and a cup of Joe was the gumshoe lunch.

To my Fellow Traveler with a sharp eye for the comely lasses, your wish is my command.
Here is the exact verse that allows religious exemptions from vaccines in the US: Read it for yourself

Many, many pacifists are combat veterans.
The late crooner Tony Bennett was at D-Day.
And everyone's favorite cat on drudge.com spent some time in shhtholes. See?: i.pinimg.com
I stopped watching TV and movies years ago, but for book afficionados, this 1999 film about a "rare book finder" may interest fans of the occult and rare books: The Ninth Gate
Last century from such a book hunter, I found a rare copy of Gadsby, a novel written entirely without the letter "E" (Ernest Vincent Wright, 1939).
The spectrum of SW Asian food ranges from the polar ends of Sri Lanka to Afghanistan, then everything else in-between.
Most spicy is further south.
The Sri Lankan cuisine I've enjoyed used a darker, or smoked, curry.
If Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) says Staten Island hosts one of the best Sri Lankan restaurants, believe him.
Where the restaurant would get fresh non-farm grown fish I don't know, because a Sri Lankan specialty is smoked sprats, four to six inches long and delicious.
BTW: Yup, we're about the same age and now I remember the double doors at the port. Tiled white floors and swinging wooden doors?
In SI there was also a huge disco right near the Outerbridge Crossing, but I can't remember the name. One word, I think. And a mobster worked out of that auto shop underneath the Bayonne Bridge last century.
