Last week's wimpy resolution against "hate" brought this excellent response from a Jewish friend. I 100% agree. Do you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Members of Congress, You should be embarrassed by your lack of courage regarding the anti-Semitism resolution that has been proposed, and apologize to Jews everywhere. How could you even think of changing the resolution …
She thinks she should be allowed back into the US, after having left her family to join the Islamic Terrorist group known as ISIS. She went to Syria, married three separate terrorists, had a child with one of them, and now says she "regrets" what she did. She should be allowed back into the US. …

2018 has been quite a year in the RB49 Universe. We survived just fine, but not without some bumps and bruises. Well, whose life doesn't have some bumps? On January 2, we got a new Grand-Niece, when my nephew became a Dad. She's a cutie, and I'm going to her first birthday party tomorrow. Also …
This week marks the holiday of Chanukah, and the victory of the Maccabees over the Greek desecrators of the Temple. The ancient Jews, fighting for their homeland, were fierce warriors, who were not finally defeated until the Romans did so in 70AD with the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Here are some pictures …
