The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Wel, the Woke Left shouts 'racism' at all sorts of shit while the Woke Right (for now---it's still in style and has been for awhile....but not for long) has been shouting "Anti Semetic" in response to simple opinions about war and foreign influence and alliances.

So I ask why are 50% of Semites in Michigan Anti Semetic? Is there An Anti-Semetic-Semites club? Sounds like the name of some junior roller-hockey team or something. Speaking of which why is every other form of bigotry not called "Anti Black" or "Anti Curry" or "Anti Dell Computer assistance' or "Anti Rude Cab Drivers" or "Anti Non Caucasian"---thatrs all just simple "racism" but the Semites got their own designation. But I digress.

I earlier posted a FOX news interview where the interviewer asked Rah Emanuel about "anti semitism' on elite college campuses and Mr Emanuel said "my faith isn't your problem" -- so symbolic of Republicans and certain voters :)

But in Michigan- while I'm sure the voter isn't 100% analyzed yet...here's a tidbit --and the sources isn't Al Jazeera I don't think:

jpost.com - American politics

"El-Sayed lost Jewish support over Israel, antisemitism, but got over 50% of Jewish votes - report"

It's great the "Hi Sean! I'm a Conservative and I love Israel!" crowd wants to have whole wars in the name of people who---have never voted for them in majority numbers. In fact they gave a slight majority to Senator Elect El Sayed.

This while Trump---- rewarded his HUGE Hispanic gains with deportations off the streets and kids watching their parents taken away.

Conservatives---which side of your bread has the butter -- do you know? Do you care?

If you're gonna say "My convictions!" "My courage of my convictions!" "My resolve" that's fine-----but this is what got us Obama, Sotomayor, Kagan and company. THIS is what goes us Senator Elect Sayed and it's EXTREMELY POSSIBLE that you could have a Progressive Presidency with Dems in the Congress and Senate. Guess who is gonna program AI? Not the high-school football star from Alabama West high school and Kaylee his knocked up girlfriend. Nope. No way. It'll be Progressive Socialists from Progressive Socialist exhales and campuses---- and genuflecting for AIPAC and dumb wars is a big part of the reason - again.

I respect the disagreement Conservative folks will have with me on this one BUT remember, Conservatives who disagreed with me on NAFTA and Free Trade----came to love tariffs all of a sudden too.

I sure hope this was worth giving away the store.

If Dems don't effectively this up---we're looking at a possible stacking of bench or at BEST a 5-4 conservative court with Roberts as a possible swing vote.

I sure hope it was worth it.

To me, it wasn't. Not even close.

I wonder when our kids and grandkids --will be learning more Spanish and Arabic? I wonder when we'll all be experts on pronouns and intersex and whatever else.

So now from the minority let's do the following: Stand AGAINST restoring some MediCaid spending. Stand AGAINST restoring some ACA subsidy. That'll sure help us with our OWN voters, many of which are on such programs.
