Weaponization of Government

Here is a good overview of how the Federal government, under DJT and his minions has done the exact thing they accuse Democrats of doing….weaponizing government.

A couple of comments here. I think the antisemitic is thrown around way too much in our current discourse. I also think most Americans have a tendency to conflate antisemitism with anti-Zionism. One, is denigration of a race and is racist. The other, anti-Zionism is clearly is a critique of the state of Israel. Some Jews believe they are the same. I do not. We should be able to criticize what BeBe is doing without being labeled a an antisemite. Just as we should be able to criticize the American government without being labeled a unpatriotic or un-American.

Keep the faith and don’t count us out while ensuring a bring line between the two. Enjoy

Fancy Pants SF CASA Benefit

This was taken a couple of years ago at a gala benefit I attended for San Francisco Court Appointed Special Advocates for foster kids. Great organization and fun time. I am with my friends Nadine and Callum.

Conservative or Cancel Culture?

This guy argues that if the Smithsonian is taxpayer funded it should be able to withhold funds in exchange for “pure ideology” Fundamentally flawed because “taxpayers” are all of us with a diverse range of views on what ideology we need to promote. He argues that historians need to “spin” history to be more positive of America’s image. I would argue that you can both be proud and concerned about what we have done in our past without denigrating the US. It’s the more patriotic way to approach our checkered past
