For the sake of this video, from the moment the attackers appears in frame:
9 seconds

Police are looking for a man who was caught on surveillance video stabbing another man at a Miami gas station back in March.

The attack happened just after 8 a.m. on March 18 at 6201 N. Miami Avenue, City of Miami Police said.

A 76-year-old man was pumping gas when he was approached from behind, police said. Within seconds, the suspect stabbed him and ran away.

Nearly two months later, police still need help looking for the suspect. He was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt and red shoes.

I saw the victim interviewed at noon. he has a 5 inch or so scar on the inside of his arm and about 2 inches on his side from the stab that missed the delicate blood vessels in the kidney area my an inch or less, according to the gentleman.

Just like in an ATM, you are forced to narrow your cone of vision and focus your concentration in order to operate the pump. I am a attentive when I am pumping gas,  even parking close enough to use the door as a barrier and I admit I cannot keep that infamous super 360 awareness some superduper instructors claim to have. Maybe I got old…

Remember when Mayor Bill de Blasio set up a snitch line for New Yorkers to rat out people for not social distancing?

New Yorkers shut it down by flooding it with Hitler memes and dick pics.

Rather than learn from New York’s mistake, Los Angels is going to repeat it.

They might as well just have texted “here’s as number you can call to curse out some underpaid county employee.”

I just hope the poor employee that gets put on this line has great mental health coverage with the county’s insurance policy.  They are going to need it.

From CNBC:

White House preparing executive order requiring certain essential drugs be made in U.S., sources say

The White House is preparing an executive order which will require certain essential drugs be made in the U.S., two sources familiar with the matter told CNBC on Thursday.

The executive order Navarro is planning will streamline regulatory approvals for “American-made” products and look to impose similar FDA restrictions on U.S. facilities as those abroad. It will also encourage the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Veterans Affairs, to only buy American-made medical products.

This is awesome.

If Congress can mandate that Medicare and Medicaid prioritize American made pharmaceuticals then you will watch the pharmaceutical industry in the US explode in growth and R&D.

If the US government is paying for drugs with my tax dollars, they should be made in the US by American workers.

A buddy of mine sent me this.

This is for all those anti-gun veteran politicians like Buttigieg.

But at least one Never Trumper admits DeSantis has done a good and smart job.

Florida, DeSantis said again and again, was being guided by “facts, data and science.” His many critics disagree, accusing him of playing to Trump in handling the crisis. But if you take even a cursory look at Florida’s numbers, they tend to bear him out. DeSantis is right about how the virus treats the young differently from the old. In Florida, people 65 and older account for 26% of all cases but 83% of the deaths. People younger than 55 account for only 7% of the death toll.

And then there are the numbers that loom largest in Florida: the overall totals. Florida’s population is about 22 million. That is 9 million more than Pennsylvania and Illinois, and 15 million more than Massachusetts. Yet those smaller states have 57,000, 78,000 and 78,000 positive cases, 1 respectively, as of Sunday. Florida is nearing 40,000. The most important number, deaths, is even more surprising. Pennsylvania: 3,700 people have died of Covid-19. Massachusetts: almost 5,000. Illinois: around 3,400. And Florida? Fewer than 1,800.

Florida’s Reopening Is Worth Rooting For

I swear I can’t wait for the day that the Miami Herald and the Sun Sentinel close for good.  If we had followed their recommendations, we would be ordered to be locked down till December, be out of food, piles of corpses would have been dumped in the Everglades and general mayhem would be the “new normal.”

Yeah, I’m going there.

Some good news for the Jews.  Those of us who are real Jews by the way.

Union for Reform Judaism announces layoffs and furloughs
Financial impact of pandemic has been ‘crushing,’ according to URJ president

Two weeks after announcing the cancellation of its summer programs in the United States and Israel, the Union for Reform Judaism announced staff layoffs Wednesday.

Approximately 60 full-time employees, constituting 20% of the organization’s staff, were laid off. The organization also implemented a temporary pay reduction between 3-16% which began in April. Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, took a 16% pay cut as did the rest of the executive team.

Good.  Fuck ’em.

Then there is this:

Pandemic forces the largest Jewish denomination to cancel summer camps. The last time was in 1947

The Union for Reform Judaism, which leads the largest Jewish denomination in North America, is canceling all of its overnight camps this summer because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The decision, announced Thursday, affects 15 camps across the country, which served 10,000 campers last year. All travel programs to Israel and other locations will also be canceled, according to a statement on URJ’s website.

Even better.  Fuck ’em twice.

Now you might not understand why I am happy to see the Union for Reform Judaism go down like this, and why I hope they go down the shitter completely.

Let me tell you something about Reform Judaism.

They reformed Judaism like the Soviets reformed the Orthodox Church.

It has little to do with Judaism and everything to do with Kosher radical Leftism.

I know it’s been a month since Passover ended but let me tell you about what Reform Judiasm has done to Passover.

Now keep in mind that Jews have been celebrating Passover with a Seder for 2,500 years, going back to the 5th century BC.  The Haggadah as we know it dates back to the 10th century, so it is over 1,000 years old.

These are traditions practiced for millennia, tying us back to ancient Judaism in one unbroken line.

So what has Reform Judaism added?

How about a fucking orange to the Seder Plate for LGBT suffering?

Susannah Heschel, a well-known Jewish feminist scholar (and daughter of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel), was introduced to an early feminist Haggadah that suggested adding a crust of bread on the seder plate, as a sign of solidarity with Jewish lesbians (which was intended to convey the idea that there’s as much room for a lesbian in Judaism as there is for a crust of bread on the seder plate).

Heschel felt that to put bread on the seder plate would be to accept that Jewish lesbians and gay men violate Judaism like hametz [leavened food] violates Passover.

So at her next seder, she chose an orange as a symbol of inclusion of gays and lesbians and others who are marginalized within the Jewish community. She offered the orange as a symbol of the fruitfulness for all Jews when lesbians and gay men are contributing and active members of Jewish life.

I’m sorry that remembering when God brought us out of slavery in Egypt and gave us the Ten Commandments doesn’t focus on your sexual identity.  I guess the only thing for a radical feminist Lesbian Jew to do is to put an orange in the center of her Seder plate to make sure everyone at the table learns more about her sexual proclivities than the 2,500-year-old traditions of our people.

This is how you end up with articles being published like:

5 Ways To Queer Your Passover Seder
At this year’s table, draw from tradition to discuss relevant issues affecting the LGBT community.

Before launching into the four questions, it’s customary to assign four children (or young people) at the seder the following roles: the wise, the wicked, the simple, and the one who does not know how to ask. It’s not lost on some seder attendees the harshness of these descriptors—so why not reframe the conversation?

Instead of four children, Keshet, a Jewish LGBT organization, designates four allies: the ally who asks what queer means, the ally who stands up for a friend, the ally who speaks up about equality, the ally who comes out as an advocate to move equality forward.

This doesn’t draw from our traditions, it draws away from our traditions.

I try to be an empathic human being but it feels like this is designed to make me hate gay Jews.  We can’t celebrate our most important holiday without the gay Jews trying to make it all about being gay?  Can you not make your sexuality the center of attention for one night?

This isn’t the only Progressive bullshit that they want to add to the Seder.

Some Jews add a tomato for the migrant farmworkers and their rights.  What’s next, leaving out a cup for Elija and the ghost of Cesar Chavez?

There is a whole list crap like this.  A pinecone for prison reform.

A banana for Muslim Migrants in Europe.  You know, the ones who are committing all sorts of violent acts driving the Jews out of Europe.

But that isn’t the worst, nope.  Reform Judaism wants us to add an olive to the Seder plate for Palestinian solidarity.

No bullshit.

They want to pollute the Seder plate with a symbol for a group of people who have “wipe out Israel and all the Jews” as part of their official charter.

Just recently a Palestinian threw a cinder block off a roof, killing a Jewish soldier, and Reform Judaism wants me to put an olive on my Seder plate to stand in solidarity with the brick thrower.

That’s like putting a bratwurst on the Seder plate in memory of all the Nazis the Mossad hunted down and killed after WWII.

The Union of Reform Judaism has been silent on the issue of the attack on Orthodox Jews in New York but really wants us to queer our Seders in solidarity with Palestinian terrorists.

They can get fucked.

Since it’s the Orthodox Jews that have shown the most bravery, defying the illegal orders of Reichsführer de Blasio to continue to practice their religion (a modern-day Hannukah story), the children of Reform Jews should be sent to Orthodox summer camps and Yeshivas to learn what it really means to be Jewish.  Which is more than Progressive talking points with a side of gefilte fish.
