CHUTZPAH

 Chutzpah. Nerve, extreme arrogance, brazen presumption. In English, chutzpah often connotes courage or confidence, but among Yiddish speakers, it is not a compliment. Feh! An expression of disgust or disapproval, representative of the sound of spitting. Bubkes or bobkes may be related to the Polish word for “beans,” but it really means “goat droppings” or “horse droppings.” Mishegas Insanity or craziness.  (The Yiddish Handbook)

 

To all of my fellow “LANTZMEN” (aka fellow Jewish Americans), who still somehow support, donate, follow, believe in, and admire TRUMP and his eunuch, JD whatever, SERIOUSLY!

Are any of you able to walk anywhere but your Ivory Towers and live among the rest of the American Jewish population? YOU, Miriam Adelson, and Bernie Marcus, with your millions and millions of dollars, pretending that somehow Trump’s actions regarding Israel are sincere and believable? Do you and the rest of your 1% wealthy Jewish peers look beyond your own self-interests and consider just how ANTI-SEMETIC TRUMP and JD whatever, genuinely are!

 

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance had nothing critical to say Friday about Tucker Carlson, with whom he recently taped a podcast interview, amid roiling controversy over the former Fox News host and his decision to platform the Holocaust revisionist and apologist Darryl Cooper earlier this week.

In a statement to The Jewish Insider, a Vance campaign official said that the Ohio Senator does not hold Carlson responsible for Cooper’s whitewashing of the Nazis’ genocide—despite the fact that Carlson called him possibly “the best and most honest popular historian” in the entire country.
