@ingelramdecoucy I see no point in answering, but I knew. That's because I went to college in the1970s.

As you get older, you’ll realize that a $30,000 watch and a $30 watch both tell the same time.

A Gucci wallet and a Target wallet hold the same amount of money.

A $10,000,000 house and a $100,000 house host the same loneliness.

A Ford will also drive you as far as a Bentley.

True happiness is not found in materialistic things, it comes from the love and laughter found with each other.

Stay humble… the holes dug for us in the ground are all the same size.

Earlier this year, I made my way down to Yuma, Arizona, to see firsthand the reality unfolding at our southern border. I met with sheriffs, local officials, and leaders from advocacy groups who truly grasp the severity of this humanitarian crisis. While Kamala Harris may have finally recognized the need for border security, she’s had FOUR YEARS as border czar, and the situation has only gotten worse. Harris’ version of immigration is downright harmful to Americans and those being trafficked by cartels. The American Dream vanishes under these policies.

I’ve included the full audio from my discussions at the border in the post below. The time for empty words has long passed.

Hundreds of Jewish students at @Columbia just published one of the most incredible student letters I have ever read.

It's not only magnificently written, but it also clearly articulates their experiences on campus for the past six months.

Their letter tells the story of what's it like being a Jewish student right now better than any professor like myself could ever do.

Please take 4-5 minutes to read their letter.

Give Jewish students a voice.

I know most of the people responsible or who are covering for it don't care, but let me explain how American Jews are feeling right now:

The overwhelming majority of Jews only live in a few countries in the world. Our families were driven out of much of Europe by pogroms and The Holocaust, and then we were ethnically cleansed from most of the Middle East.. something that rarely gets discussed.

As a result of that history, there is only a feeling of safety in societies that protect pluralism and in the world's only Jewish country. The existence of Jews in Israel is central to the Jewish religion, no matter how much some people would like to pretend otherwise.

The point is that for most Jews, Zionism is part of their identity. It's not about support for the Israeli government or any particular policy, but simply the right for the existence of the Jewish state.

Now we get to America and these protests. American Jews are Americans. We support the right of a Jewish state to exist, but that doesn't mean we want to be Israelis. Just like a French American can support the existence of France, or an Iranian American can support the existence of Iran (and can care about what happens there..). Yet I want people to understand how concerning it is to see what we are seeing now, especially given the history of the Jewish people. More upsetting is that much of this is just being ignored or downplayed by those in a position to speak up.

We are seeing videos of Jewish kids being restricted from entering school libraries. Jewish kids are being assaulted. Jewish kids face mobs attacking and harassing them simply for maintaining a belief that is central to their identity. And they are told that it's not an issue because all they have to do is denounce that part of their identity and then they can be counted as good Jews and accepted.

Then we are also seeing these mobs now openly chant for violence against "zionists," demand that "zionists" be banned from public spaces, chant for "Zionists" not to be allowed on the streets. Chant for violence against an overwhelming majority of Jews. And often also the ethnic cleansing of our relatives in Israel.

When most Jews hear that, it means us and our families. No amount of spin will change that. The goal is to try to make us feel unwelcome in these spaces and it is explicit.

You have no idea the feelings that video of a group of idiots at UCLA not letting a Jewish kid go to the library because he was a "zionist" brought out for Jewish Americans...

And before people start to argue about what things like "there is only one solution, intifada revolution" and "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Arab", we know what they mean. More importantly, we've made it clear how we perceive these things and that has made the mobs want to chant them even louder because they view it as effective intimidation. Not one of these chants has ever helped a Palestinian. Not one of them has ever changed a single Israeli policy. They are specifically aimed at intimidating people in America.

But it has gotten worse...

Businesses owned by Jews in Los Angeles are getting threatening calls telling them they either need to openly oppose Israel or they risk harassment/attacks. Jewish Synagogues facing bomb threats. Jewish-owned property is being vandalized. Jewish organizations are being explicitly targeted. Jews who support Israel are being actively targeted. And the demand is that we just accept it.

And again, the sickest part of it is not only the relative silence, but those who are supposed to inform the public on what is happening are pretending like it isn't happening because it would undermine a "mostly peaceful" narrative they prefer.

They are actively covering for the mobs doing these very things. And by the time this escalates, it will be too late. We can see where this is headed. And not just for Jews, because while we may be at the top of the target list, the people behind this also hate so many other aspects of American society and are open about saying so. They think they are revolutionaries and the society that Americans sacrificed so much to help build is their ultimate target.

The education system is failing as an institution to teach these wannabe Red Guards why this behavior is wrong. The media is failing as an institution to tell people the truth about what is happening. The government, mostly in deep blue areas, is failing as an institution to live up to its part of the social contract in protecting people from these criminal mobs. That's a lot of failures that are driving us into dangerous territory. American Jews aren't going to accept this path and being bullied out of public spaces without fighting back. I hope non-Jewish Americans wake up to it and also stand up against it because the more these mobs get away with, the further they will go. It may start with Jews (or "zionists"), but it won't end there.
