Howdy friends. As you know, I don't tweet myself but I look at Twitter. Real Clear Politics has apparently rescinded their decision to call PA for Biden!

My parents let me subscribe to the Alfred Hitchcock Magazine, full of short stories, but didn't like me watching the show. I used to love it when they'd go out in the evening so I could watch.

I had to go check that out. I find it the least surprising thing ever that it is hardly being mentioned at all.

Sorry but I have been bereft of interesting things to say or much of anything as far as that goes. This staying at home, etc., has taken a toll on me and yet we have to go on with it. Covid seems to be worse than it has been.

Kristallnacht began on this night, in 1938.

I read that today. The East Germans/Russia took down the wall in !988, iirc. "Take down that wall, Mr. Gorbachev."

There were eight of us sitting outside when our Shabbat reverie was shattered by the sounds of celebration: Drums and cheers and singing and happy sounds were coming from the apartment buildings that surround the shtiebel’s backyard.
And then the cheering stopped. As if in concert, the shtiebel’s neighbors, those who could look down on the backyard, began opening their windows. And the shouting began.
Antisemitic slurs were hurled at us, one after the other after the other. Awful comments. Comments I will not repeat. Most of us remained silent. Two men who felt the need to respond shouted back, “Thanks for being so tolerant.” One of our verbal attackers, I guess he had run out of antisemitic slurs, shouted, “And you’re not even vegetarians.” True, but relevant?
On the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a bastion of liberalism, we were being peppered with antisemitic slurs. We could see their faces. We know who they are. We shop in the same supermarkets, go to the same drug stores and dry cleaners. They had no shame. All they had was vitriol and anger.
This was not an Antifa group in Portland. It was not a group of college kids or youngsters. These were serious adults shouting from the comfort of their homes. They were shouting at me, and by extension, at all Jews.
They were not just celebrating the Biden victory, they were celebrating that when it came to politics, we, kippah-wearing Jews were now on the wrong end of the spectrum.

Biden accepted Sarsour's approval, rejected it, and then apologized for rejecting it.
I think the Jews who voted for Biden will come to regret it.

Nope. RCP never called PA for Biden, so there is nothing to rescind. https://twitter.com/TomBevanRCP/status/1325973800891150336
Rudy Giuliani is the one that said it, claiming he has proof of 300K fraudulent votes in Philly. I really don't think that's true - he's made all sorts of unsubstantiated allegations that detract from zeroing in on the real fraud. He's become a liability to Trump and he should sit down and shut up.
