After the mentally ill flatulent orange baboon leaves the White House on 20 Jan 2028, the next non-AIPAC presidential administration will still have to deal with malevolent Israel, a mountain of corpses in Gaza, nefarious Russia, the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF), an army of well-armed ICE thugs, Proud Boys and Oafkeepers, pardoned Jan 6 runamoks, an ascending super-wealthy China, the thoroughly corrupt SCOTUS, GOP Senators, a dilapidated FBI, AI surveillance super centers, environmental disasters, tattered international relationships, and powerful malicious oligarchs. And who knows how much work will be required to restore America's destroyed public health care and aviation safety systems, as well as our demoralized military. Still, one can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good; thus, the people of the world eagerly anticipate 20 Jan 2028 just like they awaited the 20 July 1969 Apollo XIII lunar landing. Nothing can stop the countdown.

Ex-NYC Councilman Daniel Halloran (54) was detained by CBP at Miami Int'l Airport when an inspection of his smartphone revealed thousands of files of child pornography. Dan Halloran was previously investigated and convicted for a litany of blasphemies and crimes. This miscreant is just one of an army of Republican hypocrites in the GOP, AKA the "Guardians of Pedophiles."

Throw away the key for this corrupt sexual deviant

When the Empire State conducted barbaric prisoner executions by electric chair until 1963, the terminator was euphemistically titled New York State Electrician. Famous victims of Thomas Edison's rocking chair included railroaded immigrants Sacco and Vanzetti (1927) and atomic spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg (1953). The first woman electrocuted in New York was Ruth Snyder (1928), whose insurance murder scheme was the genesis of the classic 1944 film Double Indemnity. Besides the inhumanity of executing convicts, when spies or serial murderers are liquidated, their secrets go to the grave with them. Such villains may wish an improvement in their hellish conditions, such as a newer cell, more time in the prison yard under the sun, or an increase in cigarette rations. In exchange, these malefactors would provide information to investigators on a cold case or other national security secrets they purloined. The lives of three of the five NYS "electricians" did not unfold well.

Several years ago, political strategist Rick Scott wrote that "everything Dummkopf Trumpf touches dies." This strange cosmological phenomenon continues plaquing those that the deeply unpopular and troubled POTUS comes in contact with, including the rebuilding New York Giants football team who pinned their future on new head coach John Harbaugh and rising superstar rookie QB Jaxon Dart.

"Few are spared."


Comments

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 Nig," everyone realized the colorful individual was an "HBM" (huge black male). But this was not a slur on "Big Nig" 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.

Taking the life of the murderer does not return the victim to his or her loved ones.

State-run executions are political theater to terrorize the population to behave better, using the ancient "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" concept as the underpinning of their moral authority.

This is vengeance or wrath, one of the so-called Seven Deadly Sins.

But innocent people have been executed because of kangaroo courts, race-based misidentification, or the need for vengeance.

The Innocence Project has exonerated hundreds of death row inmates who were falsely convicted, an issue that affects poor people, not the wealthy elites.

Moreover, once the murderer has been executed, criminal investigators lose a vital source of information for other crimes the perpetrator may have committed.

Sidenote: The British aristocracy were appalled at the decapitations of French noblemen during the Reign of Terror (~est 17,000) following the French Revolution. But 57,000 executions occured under King Henry VIII's Reign of Terror. William Shakespeare lived at a time (the Elizabethan Age) when just one state executioner himself was responsible for an estimated 3,000 decapitations. That gruesome terminator was a man named Thomas Derrick.

And how many other executioners were employed under Queen Elizabeth I throughout England, Scotland, and Wales?

"Gentle Will" was appalled by state-run violence and war and cleverly steered clear of offending Elizabeth I and her Privy Council, even while cleverly barbing her in some of his plays.

Below, Mary, Queen of Scots, at her brutal and unnecessary execution (8 February 1587):

Thanks, Genocide Joe, Blacula Harris, AIPAC, Chuck Schumer, Alan Dershowitz, Tim "Mephisto" Walz, and Merrick "Mossad-protector" Garland.

We're so glad in America that the Israeli economy is doing fine and that Israel's world class universal healthcare and murderous death forces are well funded by US taxpayers suffering from the BBB while our sailors are trying to un-alive themselves rather than fight and die for Israel.

But, hey, the 2024 Democrats got the gosh-darned 140 Israeli hostages freed, so there!

"FUNNY"

Americans killed by the Israeli Death Forces (IDF): IDF are the Serial Killers of the Middle East, like Ted Bundy

Israelis killed by the US military: And American taxpayers subsidize the IDF and their world class universal heathcare

The Israeli Death Forces (IDF) are sequence killers, like Ted Bundy or Jack the Ripper, and Senator John Fetidman (R-Israel) endorses these savages murdering American citizens.


"FUNNY"

The nefarious Trumpf junta is making it nearly impossible for the next non-Republican Party/non-AIPAC administration come 20 Jan 2028 to clean out the FBI, CIA, DHS, ICE, and DOS of all these inbred MAGAts, Jan 6 runamoks, and perverts, as well as the AIPAC pod-people and Russophiles.

The new FBI agents that underwent the eight-week crash course and who don't have college degrees will be unable to deal with AUSAs and federal magistrates/judges. The four-month long FBI academy once included counterintelligence operations and white collar crime investigations. These plonkas will have to be fired or re-trained, as well as re-investigated.

Oof!

In fact, enlisted US Army MPs receive much more training than today's FBI agents.

Such a daunting task for the next administration is on the scale of the failed de-Nazification program of Germany (1946 - 1949), which amounted to a kabuki theater of Nuremberg Trials, but untouched German industrialists and patents.

Endnote:

Americans can also thank 2024 Democratic VPOTUS candidate Minnesota Gov Tim "Mephisto" Walz (D-MN) who lowered the state flags on 7 Oct 2023 for 1,500 Israeli strangers he never met, only to have Israeli-trained masked ICE thugs run rampage through his state in 2025, killing innocent people.

The irony is rich.

Tim Walz did not lower the state flags for the thousands of Palestinians murdered by the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) in Gaza or for people in Somalia slaughtered by incessant US military airstrikes.

Now instead of being VPOTUS, Tim Walz can't wait to retire from politics forever.

So, "Mephisto Walz," enjoy your Minnesota governor and teacher's pensions, MNARNG military retirement pay (24 years), and Congressional pension (12 years). And thanks for putting Israel ahead of Minnesota and the US which condemned the rest of us in America to this sulfuric Gehenna.


"FUNNY"

The 2024 Democrats ought to be mighty proud of themselves, ignoring 43,391 defenseless Palestinians in Gaza butchered by the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) while paying absolutely no heed at all to the important progressive bloc of the American electorate, losing a minimum 7,371,247 votes on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024.

Now we have Dummkopf Trumpf and masked ICE stormtroopers with electro-shock torture gloves, Terminator-style robo-hounds, and an FBI that will be staffed by ---------- perverts who will be monitoring us from a dissident surveillance center (NSPM-7) and who may be deployed to poll sites on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 to intimidate voters.

But, hey, the 2024 Democrats got the g____m 140 Israeli hostages released, right?

No wonder that a You Gov Survey this summer ranked Joe Biden in a tie with the late psychopath Charles Manson as the "Worst American of All Time" and 50% of all Americans want ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu arrested for a litany of blasphemies, massacres, mass murders, and other wanton cruelties like inflicting starvation on women and children in Gaza.

So tomorrow, go thank an AIPAC voter or politician the first chance you get.

Enjoy your obscene blood-soaked $417,000 annual pension "Genocide Joe" and stew in your political exile, "Blacula Harris," while the rest of us regular Americans have to deal with the dystopian nightmare that you left us with that includes perverts in the FBI.

And for you number-crunchers, "Genocide Joe's" absurd annual pension works out to approximately $10 per slaughtered Palestinian in Gaza.

Genocide Joe and Blacula Harris, the Hubert Humphrey and Edmund Muskie of 2024:
