Well, my piece supporting Elon Musk's principled stand on the Pakistani pimps who sadistically raped, gang-raped, and sold very young girls into Hell--has been widely picked up. I have a new piece coming out either tomorrow or Friday at JNS. You’ll see.

It takes many hours to keep on top of the news which just keep breaking and breaking bad.

For example, J Street has just signed onto a letter condemning sanctions on the ICC. This is just one more attempt to sabotage what they fear President Trump might do; another crazed leftist move to subvert American democracy and the will of the people and to hasten the extermination (God forbid) of the Jewish people. Check it out. It's up at X.

I am reading and hope to review a thoroughly fascinating book about a German Jew, who was also a French Resistance Fighter, a British spy, and a trusted employee of the Nazis in France. It is a memoir by an unbelievably clever, canny, and daring man named Andre Joseph Scheinmann. His gripping Memoir has been translated and carefully researched by photographer Diana Mara Henry. This is an important historical document. Henry's Scheinmann puts James Bond to shame.

Otherwise it continues to be cold and to get dark ominously early. Luckily, I am not living in Los Angeles or San Francisco; luckily I am not living in any of the many war-zones such as Sudan, Congo, Nigeria, or Afghanistan. I hope my readers did not expect me to mention Gaza--did you?
