Of all the things that make me want to be a better practicing Jew, it’s not the Rabbinate, especially the Reform Rabbinate that seems to think the 613 Mitzvot come out of Das Kapital.

It’s Mandy Patinkin saying the Motzi (the prayer beforea meal) before feeding his dogs and saying the Mourner’s Kaddish for strangers.

(Dust warning)

City Manager Art Noriega moved to fire embattled Police Chief Art Acevedo Monday night, ending weeks of speculation and tumult at City Hall and after a pair of circus-like public hearings in which commissioners lashed out at the chief for everything from a misguided statement he made about the “Cuban Mafia,” to the tight jumpsuit he wore during a fundraiser in another city. Technically, the manager suspended Acevedo pending termination, giving him the choice to resign or have a hearing before the city’s five commissioners, the majority of whom have publicly questioned his brief six-month time at the helm.

Miami decides to fire police chief Art Acevedo and end a tumultuous but short tenure

He was the former Chief of Police of Houston and was hired back in March by the City of Miami to lead its police force. Although Cuban, he was never a Miami Cuban but more Californian RINO than anything else and firmly planted on the side of Gun Control.

Acevedo seems could not help himself but become an asshole and insult everybody he could in the city. There might be some other things going on because heads of LEOorganizations do not get kicked oout so hard and fast. Not even Ken Jenne after he got caught doing his fraudulent stats cooking and assorted mischiefs was sent packing fast.

And as Jeremy Clarkson puts it:

I feel inclined to remind them that are only three or four actual Blue states.

The big “Blue states,” e.g., New York, California, Illinois, Michigan, are merely Blue metropolitan bubbles inside of Red states.

Where will the Central Valley of California, upstate New York, downstate Illinois, etc. go?

Will the farms and factories stay with the urban bubble or will they join the adjacent Red State?

What sort of economic sanctions can LA, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York City impose on the rest of America that won’t be reciprocated by cutting off the urban bubbles from food and electricity?

We wouldn’t need to fire a shot to end NYC.  Just block the bridges and tunnels, cut the power lines, and wait for them to starve in the dark.

I’d give them a week.

"Obviously it's an incredibly complicated situation,” @SecretaryPete said on Morning Joe on Friday about the ports problems.

Noted his department was taking it seriously and “held roundtables bringing together everyone connected with the ports."

So we are having A real life national transportation crisis and our Harvard educated, McKinsey trained Secretary of Transportation can’t do fuck all about it but have a meeting.

Remember when I posted this:

I was so fucking right it wasn’t funny.

It’s still not funny.

Our government is in the hands of people with the most credentials and least qualifications of any time in history.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a device was stirring because of the brownout.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, a dead zero emissions electric vehicle.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

And he whistled, and shouted, and cursed them by name;

“Fuck Biden, fuck Newsom, fuck Pelosi the same.”

“I have no toys, the supply line is fucked, the gifts are sitting in ships, trains, and on trucks.”

“I’ve the chip shortage means no video games, Christmas is going to go down in flames.”

“The prices of metals have shot up the sky so mom can kiss the idea of that necklace goodbye.”

“Dad’s ride on lawnmower, it ran on gas, so now he’ll just have to push cut the grass.

“The reindeer were outlawed because of their farts so now I’m stuck with this piece of shit car.”

“Eight hours to recharge the battery from dead means by time I can go again kids have got out of bed.”

“Inflation and shortages are outrageous this year, Build Back Better has killed any and all Christmas cheer.”

“For their meager haul under the tree the kids will blame jolly old me.”

“It wasn’t my fault, I swear, I’m not lying. It’s that senile old pervert at fault, fuck Joe Biden.”

One of the interesting things to read about WWII history was just how much economic damage the Nazis did to Germany by exterminating the Jews.

This was something covered a bit in Ordinary Men too, how factory mangers in occupied counties had a hard time complying with the Final Solution because of the number critical of skilled workers who were Jews who were being eliminated.

For centuries, because various European countries limited Jewish ownership of land, Jew were forced into professions where knowledge and skill was more important than real estate.  Today we’d call the the knowledge economy.

When Germany exterminated Europe’s Jews, it exterminated scientists, doctors, academics, entrepreneurs, artisan craftsmen, and people critical in the knowledge economy.

We’ll, the Left is recycling the worst ideas of Leftist totalitarian regimes.

Now what they are doing is driving white people out of the knowledge economy.

First story:

New York public schools to end gifted and talented program

New York City will phase out its program for gifted and talented students that critics say favors whites and Asian American students, while enrolling disproportionately few Black and Latino children, in the nation’s largest school system.

Starting in the next school year, the city will stop giving 4-year-olds a screening test used to identify gifted and talented students, according to an outline of the plan released by the city’s education department on Friday.

Too many white kids test into a program for advanced academics so it must be eliminated.

Gifted and talented programs are the foundation for a skilled professional class.  A large percentage of these kids are the ones who go to college for medicine, engineering, business,  etc.

The wealthiest parents will send their kids to private schools.  The rest will pull out of NYC and head for the suburbs or another state.  Those kids will grow up and not want to work in NYC.

Next is this story:

Art Institute of Chicago fires docents because there are too many white women in their ranks.

For more than 60 years, crews of volunteer and beloved docents have faithfully, skillfully and happily introduced a million school children, museum members, donors and other groups to the treasures of the Art Institute of Chicago.

The visitors, of all backgrounds from all over America and foreign countries, were elevated by docents’ knowledge and love of the museum’s 300,000 works of art. The docents’ contribution to the museum’s world-class reputation is incalculable As is the expansion of the horizons of busloads of inner city school children.

And now the docents been fired.

Unexpectedly, rudely, immediately and for the flimsiest and most insulting of reasons: Because most are white.

They will be eventually replaced by a “limited number of paid educators,” less experienced and knowledgable part-timers who will receive a munificent $25 dollars an hour. The current 82 volunteer docents could reapply to be among the much fewer volunteer “educators” who will be chosen on the basis of “an income equity-focused lens.” Whatever that means. How well do you think that will work?

In a nutshell, the docents have to go through a lot of training in art to be able to teach and give tours.

They don’t get paid.

So the demographic that has the free time to do all the work to become a docent without say financial reward is the wives of successful business men who don’t have jobs and can volunteer.

You’ll notice that lots of charities and volunteer organizations are filled with the wives of wealthy businessmen who want something productive and edifying to do during the day, especially something that increases their social status like being a docent at a museum or supporting a symphony or something like that.

It goes without saying, most of these people are middle-aged or older white women.

But that’s note equitable so they must be eliminated.

As a result, there will be fewer docents to give tours and fewer school kids and patrons will be educated in art.

But that is a small price to pat to have fewer white women in the museum.

In the name of equity, quality education is being eliminated.  They would rather have ignorance and mediocrity than too many white people around.

Never is the answer to help others get better, only eliminate the successful.

I just don’t think these people understand that for many middle-class white professionals, a good education for their children is the hill they will die on.

Tell some successful professional family that their kids are not going to get a gifted education and tours of the art museum and they will not be happy.

This is where people who want to be left alone decide to take action, when you threaten their kids’ academic future.

I said it in one of my last posts and I’ll say it again, these people are pushing for a race war and I don’t think they understand what that means.
