The Morning Report — 6/ 6 /25

If the video is glitchy, It is The World at War Episode 17 "Morning" which is aeasily found on YouTube and elsewhere.

Good morning kids. 81 years ago at almost this very hour, the allied armies, led by the United States and the British stormed ashore on five Normandy beaches to begin the liberation of Europe from the barbarism of Nazi German occupation and all of its horrors. God bless the sacred memory of all those wonderful guys who gave their lives and eternal honor to all who came ashore that day.

Within a year, those who survived the landings would have to endure other nightmares, with names written in their and their buddies' blood like Falaise, Arnhem, Bastogne, the Hurtgen Forest and then the Rhine, and if they survived would ultimately come upon the electrified barbed wire gates of hell that were Buchenwald, Dachau, Belsen, Sachsenhausen and Mauthausen. At the latter, the wonderful Angels of the Lord dressed as members of the US 11th Armored Division liberated my mother. Miraculous as her survival was, somehow both her parents and her 6 siblings, also managed to survive and be reunited to live long and full lives here and in Israel. The odds of an entire family making it through intact are astronomical, and as I am now in the twilight of my years, with one of my mother's sisters still alive at age 93, I just shake my head at what a blessing it was for them and me to be here today.

It's why I am going to have try and tread as lightly as possible, given recent events. And yet, sadly, tragically it is something that needs to be addressed, so here goes.

Holocaust survivor who supports nonprofit suing Trump over refugee ban surprised that illegal Egyptian migrant would set her on fire

. . . An 88-year-old Holocaust survivor who was burned in Sunday’s alleged terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, shares a message for the rest of Americans, saying, “We are better than this,” before asking, “What the hell is going on in our country?”

She's wearing a huge HIAS button. The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, is a Jewish American nonprofit that provides humanitarian aid and assistance to refugees, like the Catholic and Lutheran charities.

“We at HIAS have been so blessed to have Ali Mayorkas on our board of directors, and are thrilled to have him nominated to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security,” said HIAS President and CEO Mark Hetfield. “Ali has consistently demonstrated that he is not only a strong and highly respected leader, but an empathetic one who knows the heart of the stranger, as the child of a Holocaust survivor, as a Latino, and as a refugee and immigrant himself. Ali is uniquely suited to rebuild public trust in the Department of Homeland Security as he knows that America is at its greatest when we build bridges, not walls.”

This episode once again highlights the head shaking question of why are Jews liberal and vote Democrat. I can certainly understand how generations of persecution can attract people to movements and individuals who mouth the right words about Justice and security and yet deliver exactly the opposite. Hell, forget Jews but for blacks to vote generationally for the party that had them in literal chains as slaves and then kept them in economic chains, destroying them all in the name of political power is insanity. Which as we all know is doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result.

Back to this poor woman, This is the direct result of thinking with one's heart and not with one's head while at the same time being completely deaf, dumb and blind to everything around one.

You will never find a more compassionate, sympathetic and even empathetic human being on this earth than my dear mother of blessed memory. But she knew what was what in terms of the politics of this nation. She knew what the Democrat Left was all about and would have none of it. From the moment they came onto the scene, she knew the Clintons were going to be trouble, and sadly she had to endure most of the first term of Obama.

The salient point is, unlike this poor woman from Boulder, there is no way in hell my mother would have countenanced open borders, or the flooding in of unvetted aliens regardless of their claims of persecution. And it took her years of sweating out the paperwork in a Displaced Persons Camp before she got her papers, and she had to prove she was not an indigent, had communicable diseases, was not a communist agitator, and that she had relatives here in the States who would support her while she got on her feet.

A big hat tip to commenters Washington Nearsider who brought this to our attention late in the comments yesterday, and to Lizzy whose reaction sums it all up:

What's wrong with this country? People like you brought in terrorists. GAH!

And just to preempt the usual trolls and other anti-semites out there, this is NOT a Jewish thing. Some people have bleeding hearts for very good reasons but unfortunately they let their good natures and own personal issues cloud their ability to think clearly, reasonably and rationally. And that is why this poor woman aligned herself with individuals who want to unleash the very same barbarism that nearly gassed and then burnt her in a crematorium, or shot her into a mass grave, right here in America.

Compassion and charity are of course noble and admirable. They are central tenets of Judaism and Christianity. But let's have a healthy dose of sanity

With that off my chest, the big story is that Trump and Musk are at each other's throats over the budget bill and while I have my reservations over incurring trillions more in debt to stop incurring trillions more in debt, the incongruity of this and the purpose of DOGE now coupled with the nastiness between these two individuals is only giving our enemies propaganda/politica fodder that we can ill afford.

We have to get our act together.

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Have a great weekend.
