Congratulations goes to Barrack Housein Obama, the people's choice!! It was a tight race and an amazing race.  With the media backing incumbant President Obama, Mitt Romney had a few media outlets to push his program and the three debates in which to push --along with the road campaign.  However, there were many Americans who, even though they weren't crazy about Mitt Romney, would rather vote for anyone other than Barrack Obama. Its a tell tale very divided America.  I hope the president has the ability to bring America together.

As a result of the elections, there are many states (Texas, Louisana) that are attempting to request secession from America. They want to become their own country and not be a part of America --until the next election?

In Europe, as you recall Muslims have reached a certain amount where they feel empowered to demand sharia to be the law of the land.  Now Europeans have created a counter group:  In France, its the Generation Identitaire. In other countries, there are other groups which I will hopefully research and report.

Superstorm Sandy's devastations are still being sorted through as many still without power, no place to live are trying to find their way.  Great time for chessed (acts of kindness): Yay for Apple, Anhauser Busch, Cox Enterprise, Leviton...so many more! You can donate too at RED CROSS.

Derailment for the "Enlightened" Hebrew Israelites

For those rare Hebrew Israelites who actually found a way to reject hate from their hearts and seek to be a part of the Jewish people....

WATCH OUT!!!

There are many people who will seek to derail your efforts.  The latest that I've seen are Black folks who claim to be "rabbinical Jews" and somehow they have access to Torah books, and they lure awakened Hebrew Israelites and other black folks to their version of "rabbinical Judaism."  Something that has no relationship with the actual Jewish people what so ever. No conversion necessary.  I guess these are some new offshoot branch, just like messianic, commandment keepers or well, Hebrew Israelite.

Just a warning.

Seriously, I have seen so many videos of non-Democratic African Amerians tearing their own fellow African American democrats for their choice of voitng for Obama.

I understand their concern political and for the future of America, but calling them names such as "negros" and "monkeys", spewing vitriol and hatred... If I didn't know any better, i'd think deep down they had a complete disrespect and possibly even hatred for their own Black skin! I mean, how can someone degrade another so?!

Is it such an impossibility that those who voted for Obama did so out of logic? Even those "interesting" ones who screech about getting an Obama phone, It may not be everyone's logic, but it is a thought process none the less (as opposed to a mindless monkey just reacting).  I mean, what if they were happy with the state of affairs and didn't care much for world affairs?  As long as they have food and clothing they are fine, so why not vote for someone who validates them?  If all politicians lie, then why not vote for your "favorite" one?

I wasn't pro-Obama, but to destroy the image of G-d in the people who did vote for him is too much!

Last of a Breed? the Pro-Israel Black Jew

Many of the Black Jews that I met and connected with in Israel tend to be much older than I am.  Them and their children. Most of the ones I know are pro-Israel, love the country, etc.

Many of the younger ones I meet, not in Israel, but on the internet, I can't say that I sense that they are strong Israel supporters.  They'll never say this to my face or to the face of any Jew, I don't think. But this is what I sense.

I wonder about this....

A New Beginning

I have a very dear friend who was talking to me about herself and her husband.  She said that she said to her would be husband, "you are socially awkward!"  and the man replied, "so what's wrong with being socially awkward?"  and that gave her pause.

I saw this very interesting video by Bill Whittle. Here it is...



It was inspiring for me in many ways, but there was a few points I wanted to make.

There are certain segments of the American population that actually have felt being very cold or very hot; who have been in real danger, even killed. etc.

Drug addicts, people living under the poverty level (true its not like Thailand), gays, disenfranchised people --they have been hurt, they have felt danger.

However, the problem occurs when these people think that their "problems" are unfixable. As if there is no way around their situation.

Its like a race and some people are starting far back away from the start line while others are at the start line.   For those way behind the start line, if they can understand that they can still be "virtuous" and that there is just a few other steps to take, I think it would make a world of difference.  If they saw their "labels" as just that, "labels" without emotions attached to it, I think it would make a difference. Or, if they could illiminate their labels altogether and begin to work towards their goals, their idea of success --that too would make a world of difference and encourage them to become "vituous" people.

America's Obama

Obama was elected for another 4 years as President of the United States of America.

Romney, for someone who didn't have the backing of most mainstream media, did will for himself which was a near tie.

The next four years should be interesting.
