A New Interview with Tadeusz Kocsciuszko Re: the 2024 Presidential Election

A blog reader has kindly shared with us a link to a recent interview with Tadeusz Kosciuszko regarding the 2024 American presidential election. As befits a diplomatic man, Kosciuszko is rather cagey, but one can gather from his comments which candidate he believes is best suited to the American presidency, in light of Kosciuszko's familiarity with the Founding Fathers. I, of course, concur with Kosciuszko's position.

Jewish Journalist Asks Black Race Hustler Tough Questions; Bosses Smack Down Jewish Journalist

CBS journalist Tony Dokoupil asked race hustler Ta Nehisi Coates tough questions on air. Coates, in a new book he is flogging, compared Israel to the Jim Crow South. On air, Coates said that Israel is an "apartheid state." 

Dokoupil asked Coates why the concept of a Jewish state is abhorrent to him. 

CBS is disciplining Dokoupil for this question. 

This is the ethnic hierarchy of the Woke. 

If I were interviewing a Jewish person for CBS, I, as a Polish-American Catholic, would be the low man on the totem pole, and I'd have to tread carefully. 

Tony Dokoupil is Jewish, but Ta Nehisi Coates is black, and, to the Woke, black identity trumps Jewish identity, so Dokoupil is the one who is lower on the totem pole and he's the one who has to be deferential to the black person. 

If Coates were interviewing a Muslim, Coates would be the one who would have to read carefully, because Muslim identity trumps black identity's value.

Polish odds and ends

 I really do wish I could post here more, but, again, I have to earn a living and this blog is a labor of love. 

Some Polish odds and ends. 

On the Jimmy Kimmel Show, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz described how, as a cafeteria monitor, he saved a child choking on a "Polish dog." 

During the presidential debate, Kamala Harris asked the former guy to justify his pro Putin stance to the hundreds of thousands of Polish voters in Pennsylvania. 

On the Seth Meyers show, Seth Meyers referenced Polish light bulb jokes. No dumb Polak jokes are not dead yet. 

Between the Temples 2024 with Jason Schwartzman Movie Review

 


Between the Temples 2024

A New Film Comments on Jewish Identity

Between the Temples is a 2024 traumedy feature film. "Traumedy" is a genre term for a film that mixes trauma and comedy. Between the Temples stars Jason Schwartzman as Ben Gottlieb, a depressed, middle-aged cantor living in upstate New York. He has retreated to the basement of a home belonging to his mother Meira and his mother's wife Judith (Caroline Aaron and Dolly de Leon). Ben's wife died over a year before the film begins. Rabbi Bruce (Robert Smigel) allows Ben to assume his cantor's chair in front of the congregation during synagogue services, even though Ben has lost his ability to sing. Carla O'Connor (Carol Kane) was, decades earlier, Ben's grade school music teacher. She is now his septuagenarian bat mitzvah student.

Hitler's People: The Faces of the Third Reich by Richard J. Evans. Review

 


Hitler's People: The Faces of the Third Reich by Richard J. Evans
Even if you've read many books on the topic, you'll want to read this one

I'm sitting on the couch, next to my brother Greg. I'm about five years old. The TV is our magical portal to old movies. The elegant dancing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The wit and romance of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. John Wayne's righteous action hero. But not today. I am witnessing horrors that will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Naked, skeletal bodies stacked like firewood. Even worse, some still live, in a nether world that strips them of any concept of human dignity. They stare at the camera and at me and Greg sitting there on the couch in suburban New Jersey.

My mother is furious. "This is what they did to us!"
