In his usual sharp edged way, he speaks the truth.

In my opinion, wars were fought in the past to destroy the enemy. Now that we have smart munitions, it seems no collateral damage is accepted. That's a pair of handcuffs no soldiers should have to wear. Our enemies take full advantage of our attempts to be nice.

Nice walk this morning. Didn’t get a bird. Didn’t fire a shot. The kids had… opportunities, but didn’t capitalize. Still a nice morning- and now I don’t have to clean pheasant 🤪

Finally bit the bullet and upgraded to a new iPhone and Woza…….

Only problem was I had no idea Apple did away with the USB-A/Lightning charger and a new phone does not come with a adapter cube thing or a usb a cable end  🤬🤬

Had no way to charge the phone with this newfangled charging bullshit so had to run out and spend $50 to get new adapters and cables 

Oh and wife has a old iPhone 12 so now we have to have 2 different sets everywhere 🤮🤮

Can’t really tell much difference between my old phone and this sparkling new one but we shall see……..

Given the amazing rise of anti Isreal protests here and abroad, I'm struck by the pro Hamas crap going on. Queers for Palestine?!!! Yeah, expose your proclivities in Gaza and see how many Palestinians for queers there are. A friend of mine summed it up quite well, at least as it applies in America.  The kids have been programmed to see oppressed/ oppressed and whites are the oppressors. The darker you are, the more oppressed you are. I don't think they know there are Jews from Ethiopia, etc. and only see oshkanazi Jews which are European ethnically, hence white.
Even a close friend of mine who is conservative is questioning. He, like me, has had business dealings with American Jews. He found his interactions to be unpleasant. (I found my experiences to be ok, hard negotiations, but satisfactory.) He thinks if all their neighbors hate them, there must be a reason. I tried to explain the historical hatred and the obviously false blood libels (Jews drinking Arab children's blood, etc.) but I don't think I got through to him.  I told him that in my lifetime, I've seen more horrendous behavior from Arabians/ Persians, especially philistines than Israelis, going back to the Munich Olympics in 72.
As for me, I read somewhere, "I will bless those who bless you Israel, and curse those who curse you."
Seems pretty clear to me.
