Robin,

The past 48 hours have seen a frightening ratcheting up of tensions with North Korea, which is ignoring warnings, defying new UN sanctions and continuing to threaten other nations with attacks. Kim Jong Un is reportedly considering striking the United States or our bases in Guam, and the Washington Post reported that the rogue state had developed miniaturized warheads capable of delivery via ICBM, although it's not clear whether that's true or they have the missiles yet that can deliver them. President Trump warned that any attempt by North Korea to attack the United States "will be met with fire, fury, and frankly, power the likes of which this world has never seen before."

Not surprisingly, that strong warning seemed to upset many in the US government and media more than Kim Jong Un threatening to nuke Hawaii. They scolded that it's simply "not helpful;" we need calm diplomacy to deescalate this situation. Because Kim has shown that he reacts well to displays of calm diplomacy instead of strength from people he's threatening to immolate. It's too bad these critics weren't around during World War, so they could have tut-tutted at Winston Churchill that his incendiary rhetoric, like "We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender" might make it harder to talk sense into Hitler.

Sometimes, issuing a strong warning is the best way to avoid war, if it comes from a leader whose warnings are taken seriously. Even if Kim is too deranged to cool his belligerence, it might be enough to finally force China to step in and slap down their out-of-control manchild, or convince the North Korean military that a quick coup would be preferable to a lot of incoming American ICBMs that can actually reach their targets.

Just a reminder: it was the smug, liberal arrogance of the self-proclaimed "best and brightest" with their degrees from Harvard and Yale that gave us the so-called "smart diplomacy" that led to allowing rogue regimes like North Korea and Iran to have nuclear reactors in the first place. Trump is now forced to deal with the potentially devastating consequences of their incredibly dumb "smart diplomacy." We've already seen their brilliant solutions to such problems. Unless they have something more effective than sending James Taylor to Pyongyang to sing "You've Got A Friend" in Korean, maybe they should just pipe down and let the elected commander-in-chief and the military deal with the big, dangerous mess they created.

Sincerely,

Mike Huckabee

Glen Campbell RIP

By Mike Huckabee

F. Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote that there are no second acts in American lives. But Monday, we lost two great American musical icons who both proved that wrong by rising very high, falling very far, and coming back to even greater heights.

The great singer/guitarist Glen Campbell died at 81 after a long, brave battle against Alzheimer's disease. Campbell was one of the most successful musical stars of all time, releasing 70 albums, selling 45 million records, and placing 80 songs on the charts, nine of which reached #1. One year, he even outsold the Beatles. But even before he was a star, his talent made him one of the top session players in L.A. He played some of the most famous guitar parts of all time, on hits by everyone from the Beach Boys and the Monkees to Frank Sinatra and Wayne Newton.

Summer of Love anniversary

By Mike Huckabee

This summer marks the 50th anniversary of 1967's "Summer of Love," the hippie-led cultural revolution that sought to replace traditional morality with "sex, drugs and rock and roll." Half a century later, this article takes a look at how all that hedonism that worked out for society. Short version: Well, some of the rock and roll was pretty good.

"Bloodless coup" is looking more like one

By Mike Huckabee

"Bloodless coup." That's the term I've used to describe what's being attempted by anti-Trump forces through the special counsel's Russia-and-related-matters investigation. And today, something that happened in July –- but that we're just now hearing about –- goes a long way towards reinforcing that view.

In the pre-dawn hours of July 26, the home of Paul Manafort, who briefly held the position of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign manager last summer until being investigated for work he'd done on behalf of Ukraine, was raided by the FBI. According to Manafort's lawyer, he had been cooperating fully with requests for documents and had, in fact, voluntarily appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee the previous day. In order to obtain a warrant for the raid, the special counsel would have had to make the argument that it did not trust Manafort to hand over his financial records and other documents. In effect, they'd be accusing him of planning to obstruct justice.

The warrant has been described as "wide-ranging." If investigators turn up anything that puts Manafort in legal hot water, they can always try to bargain with him for information pertaining to their REAL target, and we all know who that is. And if they feel inclined to kick in somebody's door to get to the big prize, they're more than happy to do that.

PC witch-hunt at Google

By Mike Huckabee

It's nice to know that President Trump isn't the only person who gets smeared and misrepresented by CNN. Newsbusters notes that James Damore, the engineer who was hunted down, exposed and fired by Google simply for writing an anonymous critique of the tech giant's rigid leftwing "diversity" policy, was depicted by a CNN reporter as a male chauvinist who claimed that women "aren't suited for tech jobs for biological reasons." Actually, he did no such thing. Take a look at the thoughtful and measured essay he wrote and you'll see that it in no way fits that cartoonish accusation.

The unmasking (there's that word again; what is it with leftists and their obsession with exposing people guilty of thought crimes and flogging them in public?) and firing of Damore has created a massive PR backlash against Google, and rightly so. It's raising all sort of uncomfortable questions about Google in particular and "diversity"-obsessed companies in general, especially the almost uniformly leftist tech companies of Silicon Valley. Some of the better points I've seen:

If men and women are exactly the same in terms of talents and interests, then why it is necessary to have a diversity policy to seek out more women for tech jobs so the tech force won't be heavily male? How can a company claim to value "diversity" when it fires anyone whose thinking differs even a hair from the rigid groupthink of the social justice warrior-approved, PC left that pervades Google? Is it a good idea to allow a company to be large enough to know everything about you and to control the flow of information on the Internet when it believes that you shouldn't even be allowed to hold a job if you disagree in any way with its policies? And is this a sign that it's time for the government to consider Google a dangerous monopoly and bust it up?

I suspect there will be many more to come. In the meantime, I'll just answer the question that a lot of angry Google users are asking right now: yes, there is a search engine that doesn't track you or keep records on what you search for or try to direct you to leftist-approved search results. It's called DuckDuckGo.com, and I imagine it's enjoying a huge influx of new users right about now.

Turns out it's true that secret operatives of a major government were monitoring and interfering in the 2016 presidential election to help one candidate. But they were agents of our government attempting to help Hillary Clinton get elected. So move along, nothing to see here...

Lately, Canada's government has been hostile to all sorts of basic rights, such as freedom of speech. But it's good to know that they at least draw the line at an attempt to use freedom of information laws to get the government to reveal the location of a fisherman's best fishing hole. This story gives new meaning to the term "government going on a fishing expedition."

Fwd: IDF morality?

Subject: IDF morality?
To: <faigerayzel@gmail.com>
Cc:

As we celebrated Purim this year, the holiday of redemption  from a Holocaust and revenge against our enemies, terrorists attacked a  soldier in Hevron. Thankfully, the soldier was only slightly wounded before his buddies took out the two assailants.   Quite appropriately, the annual  Purim costume parade began just where our enemies were felled.    One of the attackers was down when a soldier finished him off.   The self-appointed judges of what is moral, humane and authentically Jewish raised  the usual howl. There is a soldier in jail today for killing that terrorist.    How do the concepts of the morality of official Israel apply to us and our situation? What does the Torah say about what is humane and authentically  Jewish?    If you recall, after over two years (actually 150 years) of incessant Arab terror and Israeli restraint during the height of the Oslo illusion, with hundreds ( much more thousands over the last generations) of Jewish victims, the IDF  finally was given the green light.  In 2002, during the "Defensive Shield" operation (launched to uproot the Arafat terrorist infrastructure built since Oslo - 1993) was launched to put a stop to the suicide bombing melee. During the fighting, IDF troops halted before a building held by terrorists in Jenin.  Jenin was a viper's nest of terror and terror support.   There might have been Arab civilians in the building as well.   The options were:   1-  Shell the building 2- Bomb the building from the air. 3 - Send in our men to seek and destroy the enemy while making every effort to avoid civilian causalities. In other words, sacrifice our sons and fathers to protect theirs   If it was your son, brother or father waiting outside the building, which would you prefer?     The "purity of arms" policy that the IDF is so proud of, determined that  only the last choice was an option; and so a dozen Jewish families were destroyed. But the good news is that a dozen   Arab families were not.  We win the moral victory(and the world applauds...). The question is, whose morality?   In the latest Gaza round, we sacrificed soldiers following the same IDF  moral rule book ( even louder applause...).    This has everything to do with Purim and what our tradition teaches us about morality and how to fight a hostile enemy.   In the Megilla, we read  (Chapter  8:11) Mordechai instructs the Jews to," gather in every city to all the forces that would assault them(the enemy) along with their children and women.." 8:13, "..the Jews should be ready to avenge themselves on their enemies.." 8:16, "The Jews had  light and gladness, and joy and honor.."   Chapter 9:8 "And the Jews smote all their enemies..and treated those that hated them as they pleased.."   9:16  ..seventy-five thousand were slain on that day. "Mmmm doesn't sound like the IDF "purity of arms.."    In the entire history of the IDF, approximately  85,00 enemy have been killed.    Chief of staff, Gen Eisenkot recently said," the IDF does not operate according to slogans such as (the biblical injunction) "Rise up to kill those who come to kill you" Defense minister Ayalon said, "it is forbidden to forget our "humanity" and get out of control just because our blood boils.."   We need to decide what is the moral high ground here. Is it moral to send our people in harm's way so as to keep the enemy out of it?  Or is that precisely the pinnacle of immorality?   And who is "the enemy" according to our tradition and  Torah?    Our greatest leaders such as Moses, Joshua, Samuel, Saul, David never sacrificed our people to protect any member of the enemy nations they fought. And they new Torah and Jewish values fairly well.   Reminds me a little of how the allies fought the war against Germany and Japan...   How about this: the enemy should be aware that if he plans to strike a Jew, he will never survive the attempt.   Maimonides in the laws of kings. teaches that in a war that is thrust upon  Israel, there is no distinction between combatants and enemy civilians. Kind of like the heroes who won WW2   The soldier who finished off the snake in Hevron has more Jewish  Jewish morality little trigger finger than all the IDF manuals based on anything but  Jewish morality and law.   Once again," he who is merciful to the wicked will be wicked to the merciful"   As  General Patton said, 'don't die for your country, make the enemy die for his.'   Did he go to yeshiva?   www.shalompollacktours.com

Fwd: Daniel Greenfield's article: The Google Gulag

bs"d

It is not surprising that my blog shemittahrediscovered dramatically lost more than half of recorded hits since June.  In June the number of views went dramatically down from close to 40,000 hits to less than 10,000 hits.  

Why did this happen?  I did not change how I blogged. Somehow something affected how this blog was accessed.

Maybe Google has a good explanation?  

My blog is Pro Trump, Pro Pamela Geller and Robert Spence, anti BDS, anti Islamaphobia, Pro Judea and Samaria and against a Palestinian State.

Could that explain the sudden drop in my statistics?

Daniel Greenfield's article: The Google Gulag

The Google Gulag Posted: 10 Aug 2017 10:17 AM PDT Let me Google that for you. James Damore is an FIDE chess master who studied at Princeton, MIT and Harvard. He had been working as a software engineer at Google for four years. Danielle Brown is the new Vice President of Diversity at Google. She has an MBA from the University of Michigan and campaigned for Hillary. She had been working at Google for a few weeks. James Damore wrote a memo suggesting that Google should pursue ideological diversity, end discriminatory efforts to achieve identity politics diversity and be honest about gender differences. Danielle responded by denouncing his paper. "It's not a viewpoint that I or this company endorses, promotes or encourages." Google has spent hundreds of millions on diversity. It has put thousands of employees through implicit bias training. Leftists at Google are encouraged to accuse each other of hidden biases. Brown and Google CEO Sundar Pichai made some vague noises about free speech. And fired Damore. "This has been a very difficult time." That's how Pichai began his letter to Google employees. Some might have thought that he was about to discuss a massive data breach, not an employee writing something that he disagreed with. It was a difficult time because leftists at Google had to confront the horror of an original thinker in their ranks. Some were so traumatized by his intrusion into their safe space that they threatened to quit. And so Damore was fired for "advancing harmful gender stereotypes". What were these stereotypes? That the gender gap in coding could be explained because women are more interested in people and men are more interested in things. Women were more cooperative and he suggested and that the gender gap could be reduced by making "software engineering more people-oriented with pair programming." Google could have disagreed with him. And left it at that. Instead it was, "Off with his head." Pichai claimed that some Google employees were "hurting". Social media accounts were full of bizarre claims that leftist employees were "afraid" to come to work. But the only actual casualty was Damore. It's never the oppressed leftists crying to friendly media outlets who suffer. Only their targets. James Damore is what most people think of when they imagine a Google employee. A brilliant original thinker with interests spread across the scientific and technological spectrum. But Danielle Brown is what Google actually is: a Hillary Clinton supporter who handled diversity at Intel and Google. Google is a search engine monopoly that makes its money from search ads. It began with a revolutionary idea from young engineers much like Damore. Then the engineers became billionaires. And the company that began in a garage hired a Vice President of Diversity to get rid of the brilliant young engineers. The idea that made Google some twenty years ago was PageRank. It was ahead of its time in utilizing social technology to rate the relevance of a page. The idea has since been cannibalized as Google's search algorithm favors its own products. And increasingly it also favors its own political views. As the company swings left, it isn't interested in the "wisdom of crowds", only in its own agenda. Google has embedded partisan attacks on conservatives into its search and news territories under the guise of "fact checks". It has fundamentally shifted results for terms such as "Jihad" to reflect Islamist propaganda rather than the work of counterterrorism researchers such as Robert Spencer. And it wasn't the first time. Google had been previously accused of manipulating search results during Brexit. Censorship has long been a problem on YouTube. And it will now officially be caging "controversial" videos using a method developed by Jigsaw. Formerly Google Ideas, Jigsaw is Google's left-wing incubator developing social justice tech. The Southern Poverty Law Center guided Google's censorship of Islamic search results. But there's no reason to think that it will stop there until Google has completely cannibalized PageRank and replaced it with ProgRank in which search results will be dominated by left-wing sites in one category after another. First Autocomplete results and then actual search results will be censored and suppressed. Google's treatment of conservative users mirrors its internal treatment of conservative employees. Internally, Google is a toxic environment where conservatives are threatened, blacklisted and even physically assaulted. Damore's case went public. Countless other conservatives were forced out of Google and blacklisted by left-wing activists without their cases ever receiving public attention. Once upon a time, James Damore would have represented what was best about Google. But Google doesn't need brilliant minds. It needs to find more ways to squeeze ad dollars out of its monopoly. The pretense that it's a hub of innovation is the meaningless default brand for a Bay Area tech company. Damore was working on Google's search infrastructure. And there's little doubt that he was wasted there. Google's search has grown more useless even as the company's search revenues have grown. Google's goal is to streamline and shape search results for a mobile environment by giving users what it thinks they want rather than what they are actually searching for. Google isn't just politically left-wing, its product mindset has become all about forcing users to do what it thinks they should be doing. Google's efforts to get a foothold in social media have repeatedly failed because of this mindset. Damore, like so many of us, wasn't thinking the way that Google thought he should be thinking. And so it dealt with the problem by getting rid of him. When users search for results that Google doesn't like, it guides them to what it thinks they should be looking for. If they persist, then the results vanish. If they upload videos it doesn't like, they get censored. That's the totalitarian left-wing Google model in action. Google is approaching the ecological dead end of its technological niche. There's not much else to do except make fringe investments that are little more than disguised advertising and build more free apps to feed into its own ad business while driving traffic to them through its search and Android leverage. If the business model ever fails or the government takes a closer look at its abuses, then it's all over. Meanwhile its Google.org philanthropy can fund pro-crime and anti-police causes. Google Ideas, now known as Jigsaw, can try to get involved in the Syrian Civil War. And the herd of leftists it hired can police internal messaging by spamming angry social justice memes and waiting for an actual engineer to contradict them. That's what happened to James Damore. It's happened to plenty of others before him. When Google fired Damore, it sent a very clear message. The message wasn't tolerance, but intolerance. It said that its Vice President of Diversity knows more about biology than a researcher who received his biology degree in the top 3% of his class. It announced that there is no room for original thinking, heterodoxy or genius at Google. And it went even without saying, no room for anyone to the right. When asked at a shareholder meeting whether conservatives would feel welcome at Google, Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt replied, "The company was founded under the principles of freedom of expression, diversity, inclusiveness." But freedom of expression no longer comes before diversity. It's breathing in the toxic fumes of fake inclusiveness and watching diversity vanish down the highway. "Viewpoint diversity is arguably the most important type of diversity," James Damore had argued. But that's not what the left means by diversity. At Google and everywhere else it means a plurality of people from different backgrounds, races, genders and sexual identities who agree with us. It's an artificial consensus that displaces the old democratic values of individualism and freedom. Instead it imposes a system of safe spaces that treat any dissent as an act of violence against the oppressed. The gates of the internet cannot remain in the hands of a corporation intolerant of free speech. Google's monopoly doesn't only threaten the free market. It threatens freedom of expression on the internet. It's not just about James Damore. It's about all of us.
