Thank you, Anne, for your comments.

First, Israel is an Apartheid state; and Netanyahu is the worst possible leader that the tiny country could have.

Omar Assad and other innocents have been killed by the IDF and despicable settlers, which in turn increases anti-Semitism globally.  Innocent Jews outside of the USA and Israel - and beyond the reach of Mossad - will bear the the brunt of global hatred, which is tragic.

BDS measures should be put in place and enforced.  All American aid of any kind to Israel should cease.  Netanyahu should be tried by the International Criminal Court for his many crimes, and imprisoned for the remainder of his life, at the very least.

Again, he was hated by Ariel Sharon and the Rabins, who knew him better than either of us do.

Thank you for your comments, Ayelet.

As I am sure you know, there are many prominent Jews who feel exactly as I do about Netanyahu.  He is a blight on innocent Jews globally; and it is sad that Israel has "reelected" him.

A Jewish friend of mine, who has contributed millions to Israel, ascribes it to Israel's "fractured" democracy.  Whatever the cause, it does not bode well for Israel's future, in my opinion.

Based on what I know about it, it should not have taken place.  Apparently Kanye was invited, and brought a "guest."  

Kanye is a "loose canon," who - like Elon Musk - is unpredictable.

Thank you, Jason, for your comments.  

I grew up in Hollywood/LA, and then spent 21 years nonstop working in Washington, D.C.  I have often told people that the phonies in both cities are essentially mirror images of each other.  

Harvey Weinstein is not an aberration.  He represents the culture that exists in both cities, at the very top.  Women are commodities, to be used and misused.  And the fact that Bill Clinton traveled on Jeffrey Epstein's "Lolita Express" numerous times - sometimes without his Secret Service agents - should not surprise anyone.

Thank you, Tiffany, for your comments.

We live in a "poisoned," "polarized" country today, where I do not know why anyone would run for public office.  One's family can be attacked; and there is no "glory" that public service represents, which is worth the price - or so I believe.

And it is sad to utter those words or feel that way.  But the poison that has infected our society is something that I have never seen before.

I was a Cub Scout, a Boy Scout and an Explorer Scout; and ALL of my experiences were positive.  I had ZERO negative experiences.

Frankly, I haven't seen anything positive that he has done yet.

Thank you, James.  I have set forth my beliefs below.

I agree, Susan, but I do not see anything that will bring us together, apart from another tragedy like 9/11.

I was at a college reunion, and met the wife of an old and dear college friend of mine for the very first time.  She was very cordial until I literally mentioned the word "Trump."  Then, her eyes glazed over; and it was as if a curtain had come down between us.  

She condemned me without knowing a thing about my beliefs.
