After the recent medical scare, I have been given a new regiment of medications for one long-time ailment and I am getting used to it. Let’s say my brain is duller than customary and I need to get used to the new dosage.

All my other usual medical markers indicate I am doing pretty good although I have to schedule a visit to the cardiologist for a stress test to put the final kibosh on any cardiac issue.

Anyway, I am feeling good, specially after my doctor said I “have the cholesterol levels of a 14 year old.”

Bring be some BBQ stat!!!

There are classic fashions and attitudes that do not seem to disappear with te passing of time.

It is that time of the year when Libertarians will smugly “explain’ to you why they are superior because they will vote for the Libertarian candidate rather than yours.  They do this partially because they believe it will keep them above the incoming mayhem and some may secretly think after all is done and burnt, they will finally have a chance at governing.

I can’t help but think they believe in Manson’s Helter Skelter principle.

A small follow up to J. Kb’s post.

Orthodox Jew failing to carry the government-mandated piece of clothing ,gets yelled at.

Some guy posted this video of himself screaming at Orthodox Jews in Boro Park, NY. This is the result of @NYGovCuomo‘s scapegoating, just like people like @paulsperry_ tried to do with Muslims. No one should be screamed at while walking down the street because of their religion pic.twitter.com/vkLtnFp85S

Because it is well known since Nazi Germany that Jews carry diseases that will kill the good people of the Nation. Right Governor Cuomo? Right Mayor de Blasio?

And I guess it is fitting that Biden is said to be considering Governor Cuomo as his Attorney General.

Do not take this election for granted. Vote for Trump.

The deliberate attack on the Orthodox Jews of New York City is undeniable at this point.

First of all, the latest available data shows that the hardest COVID hit areas of New York City are not the Orthodox neighborhoods.

THE hardest hit #COVIDー19 area in NYC right now is Jackson Heights in Queens NOT the Orthodox areas in Brooklyn!

AND Jackson Heights (according to Wiki) it is predominantly Hispanic and Asian.

Why in the world are Cuomo and DeBlasio going after the Jews?!?! pic.twitter.com/0HA1wsXBaY

You can view the real-time NYC COVID map here.

Even if the Brooklyn neighborhood of Borough Park is still higher than average for the city, that doesn’t explain what is going on, because other hard-hit areas of the city are not being subjected to the same sort of enforcement.

DOUBLE STANDERD no enforcement in non Jewish “red zone” in Brooklyn. This is today October 15 on fillmore Avenue and marine parkway at the park. Zero compliance. No masks No social distancing. Yet there is no Sheriff,no DOH no DOB no media. pic.twitter.com/efO8lQX7fP

In Jewish neighborhoods, the Sheriff is sending plainclothes officers to peek in the windows of Synagogues to make sure no unauthorized gatherings (i.e. prayer services) are happening.

With all the COVID enforcement going on in the Jewish neighborhoods of New York, you’d at least think that would curb the anti-Semitic violence.

Nope.

Got anything to say about this King Cuomo? Huh?!

You were warned that your words are causing immediate antisemitic violence and yet you quadrupled down!

And you’re busy promoting your “COVID leadership” book?!#COVIDCuomo has to go!pic.twitter.com/NGEn6S9VTV

At the very least, if the NYPD doesn’t want to bust these guys for assaulting a Jewish man, can they bust them for not social distancing?

Shocking video of violent attack on Chassidic Jew in Crown Heights uncovered (Oct 6). Perp punched victim & knocked him down: Perp pulls knife threatening “do you want me to kill you!”. Thank you @NYPD71Pct for arresting perp. This is lawless NY: perp is back on the streets! pic.twitter.com/eXOrgatimH

And even when attackers are arrested, New York bail reform lets them out right away to offend again.

There is literally more action taken and punishments given to Jews for praying than there is for beating up a Jew on a city street.

The only way this can get any worse is if Cuomo and de Blasio decide to send all the Jews in New York City to a barbwire enclosed quarantine center upstate.  Now that I’ve said that, that plan is probably in the works for when flu season really hits later in the year.

There is a famous poem by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller, which I think needs some updating for NYC in 2020

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because the charges were dropped against the socialists since the mayor supported them.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because they were considered non-essential workers.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because they blamed the Jews for the COVID.

Then they came for me—and I was fine with that because they made it clear that Civil Rights didn’t exist in the era of The Virus.
