I’ve read the WSJ for over fifty years, excluding the 1970’s when I paid no attention to any major media.

In the current few decades I found the news section was the same as the totally fake New York Times; I ignored it. I read primarily the last three pages of the front section and the Saturday supplement.  The supplement introduced me to Matt Ridley. Thank you.

I often read the Saturday supplement because it was more academic and intelligent.  Sometime in late 2023 I started to lose interest in the Saturday supplement and attributed my loss of interest to the new editor, Emma Tucker.  In the year and a half since then I have totally stopped reading the supplement as its quality began competing directly with the late Ladies Home Journal and Parade.

In general, Emma Tucker has had a strongly negative effect on the WSJ.  She just isn’t very bright.

All of which is to say I don’t mind that President Trump is suing the bastards.

I know that over one million people world wide have known for more than four years that Joe Biden is senile and incapable of being president of the United States.

The million people consist of every foreign office on the planet, every journalist on the planet, and their friends.

I knew that Joe Biden was senile when I saw him on YouTube in his campaign in the Summer of 2020.  

After the election I asked my youngest daughter if she could see that he was senile.  She said ‘no.’  I asked her to check with my 16 year old grandson. He said ‘senile.’

I knew Joe Biden was a mean person when I learned that his third German Shepherd had bitten his fifth Secret Service agent. That means Jill Biden is also a mean person.

The fact that he is most lucid when he is angry in public speeches is also evidence that he is a mean person.  

I knew he was corrupt when he was forced out of the Democratic primary Presidential race in Fall 1987 for plagiarism.

I knew that he was using his public office for corrupt personal gain when I learned his son was on the board of the Ukrainian power company Burisma.

I knew he was racist about the same time because his two closest Senate friends were Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd, both KKK members.

Joe likes to sniff children under nine years old.  Weird, but out of his control in his senile years.

Joe Biden had no sense of decency or a moral center which I learned upon his taking office as president and directing the Chief Legal officer to begin directing criminal lawsuits against former president D. J Trump and some of his staff.  One of the most corrupt and illegal actions in American political history.

Nothing will go down in the history of the Joe Biden presidency that compares with his refusal to help two stranded in space American astronauts by accepting Elon Musk’s offer to recover them. Biden feared acceptance would benefit Musk’s friend presidential candidate Trump.

In summary, the Democrat Party nominated and the American people, with the encouragement of a vast dishonest public media, elected the most horrible human being to ever hold the office of American president.

Let’s start with national electoral politics.  Of the 535 members of Congress, about 100 are not vulnerable to change because their home territory is controlled by their own machine.

Now, X provides an advantage that has never been available before.  A careful screening of users can be undertaken to make sure their politics are right for the long term. I found over 900 MAGA supporters on my account.  Once the group is initially screened then they can be asked their address to fill up all relevant American Congressional and Senate seats.

Next is time to ask three simple questions to sort out people who have an inherently political view of the world.  Not necessarily the brightest or even the most decent people, but being political is necessary.  

Now they are to be taken to a training school.  Only a few days.

I have run a number of political campaigns at every level.  Training only needs to be modest. Five steps:

• The perceived tallest wins. I once had a candidate for mayor who was the shorter one.  I created his campaign poster with him bending over to shake hands with a Chinese male in a man-hole.
• Every electoral district has a small elite group that exercises influence by word-of mouth contact.  This group must be met and groomed in coffee sit-ins. Often these elites are union bosses.
• People not in networks are usually likely to vote for the perceived most popular candidate.  They often judge by the most house signs, bumper stickers and similar media.
• Election day turn-out efforts are a waste of time and money.
• Campaign finance laws are often arcane and complex. Every campaign needs a qualified finance person.

Now, go and make America a decent country again.

This may be the greatest moment in human history. 

The major revolutions in history were the American (really a nationalist rebellion), French (really several waves of class revolution), the Russian, the Chinese and a few other dictator uprisings.

What makes the current revolution or counterrevolution a cohesive movement:

• Open Trump rebellion in America against the Nazi takeover of the streets, colleges, and universities. Why call the pro Hamas groups and their administrative sympathizers ‘Nazis?’  Their heroes are wantonly killing Jews, all and any Jew.  That is core Nazism.
• Jews forced to start their own schools, colleges, and universities and bring lawsuits against many existing institutions.
• Democrats, Biden’s and Schumer’s, open hostility to Israel at a time when its survival is at stake. Israel is surrounded by hate filled nations.
• Democrats and government agencies SECRETLY import over a million aliens and give them hotels and credit cards.
• Democrats everywhere malign the police and reduce their funding.
• All sorts of institutions replace meritocracy in employment with racist criteria. Many are forced by the government to do so. DEI.
• The first time in American history a former president and his supporters are criminally sued and threatened by the opposition Democrat office holders.

I think we should call this a counterrevolution. The confusing thing is the small revolutionary part around RFK, Jr called MAHA.  This was a core part of the main revolution, the hippie revolution that brought us organic food, organic crops, Whole Food stores, acupuncture, new religions and alternative medicine.

Otherwise the counter revolution brings us a demand for meritocracy, abandonment of the thesis that America is racist, and that gender differences are merely a social construct that can be wished away.

Also elevation of the idea that politics has a core of civility to it which excludes assassination and legal destruction of political opponents.

In the Fall of 1991, I was riding in a taxi down K Street in Washington, D.C. on a Saturday when the Senate hearings on Judge Thomas were underway.  I was going to a board meeting of a group I was associated with for seven years. A global third world funding project called Appropriate Technology International.

The driver was an Arab speaker with the radio tuned to the Senate hearings.  Anita Hill was testifying about the day she was with Thomas who had a can of Coke in his hand and he joked that there was a pubic hair on the can. The driver asked me what “pubic” was? I said it was hair from her pussy. He drove the cab into the center divide and just missed killing us on a tree before pulling back into the right lane.

How was Joe Biden responsible for this?  He was on the Senate committee and had met the previous weekend with Thomas to tell him the whole hearing would be a “breeze.”  Biden knew all along that Hill was a sneak witness against Thomas.

San Francisco State University is in a financial crisis.  The number of students applying and entering has dropped significantly in this century but the school has been unable to demand more money from the State or to cut expenses sufficiently.

I blame the Jews. I’m being facetious.  Not Jews but the Jewish community organizations.

In the mid 1990s I got many reports that anti-Jewish activity on the SFSU campus was rampant.  I went out to take a look. Jew hate was everywhere. Murals, posters and notice boards.  I was told by my friends on the faculty that all Jews on the faculty were leaving because the general environment was so anti-Jew.

One of my trips out to the campus was to help a faculty member who was trying to get Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat, recognized for his efforts to save Jews in WWII by getting them to Japan. No interest on this campus.

I reported this campus Jew hate widely and broadly to the Jewish community organizations and the Jewish press.  

None paid attention because the major Jewish organizations were left-wing. The anti-Jew sentiment was all coming from black and Arab lefty organizations.

Now Jew hate has exploded on college campuses and once again the lefty Jewish Community organizations are dragging their collective feet because the Jew hate comes from the Left.San Francisco State University has had a particularly precipitous decline in enrollment for two decades.  Jews, as individuals, don’t go there as students or as faculty.

I am ashamed to admit it but my worthless BA degree is from a year spent at SFSU 60+ years ago.

I’ve lived with Jew hate for several parts of my life.

I was in an El Paso elementary school from 1946 to 1949.  The Mexican kids would follow me home from school and throw rocks at me whenever the Dominican traveling priests came to Juarez to denounce Jews.  Fortunately I was a fast runner.  

The Roman Catholic hatred of Jews abated when Pope John XXIII called Vatican Council II.  The current Pope Francis has brought it back.

My closest friend in 1953-55 was David Stern, in Seattle, whose mother was national president of the American Jewish Committee. That AJC, at that time, was anti-Israel because the members wanted to assimilate and they believed Israel, as a Jewish state, would make assimilation difficult. My father, a reform rabbi, had been in Israel in the pre-State days helping on the Dead Sea scrolls and loved Israel.

I had no personal difficulty with Jew hate, other than the Mexicans, ever again.

I knew about the hereditary-class Jew hate, but it had no effect on me. It brushed up against me in 1967 when I became a bank officer and then the youngest Vice President in American banking at the Bank of California.  The Bank was the home of the hereditary class in 1960s banking but hadn’t always been because my paternal family were proud customers, and board members in the 1870’s to 1900. The bank expected me to join one of the elite private clubs in San Francisco.  The bank didn’t know that a Phillips could be a Jew. Jews were excluded from the top clubs until 1970.  Jews had been forced, sixty years earlier, to take over the Bohemian Club and start the Concordia Club.  I could have joined the University Club where I used the squash courts but never bothered to join.

All my life Spain has hated Jews, the same country that drove my patrilineal ancestors to Holland four hundred years ago, still hates Israel and prizes ham as its top meat.  Ireland has hated Jews and Israel.  The hatred of Jews began when Germany became a belligerent in 1938 and the Irish love the rantings of Hitler to this day. 

I dealt with Jew hate in the mid 1990’s when blacks at San Francisco State University were openly expressing it painting Jew hate murals and attacking Jews on the faculty.  Nearly all of whom left within five years.  Jew hate on campus has never abated.  Largely from blacks thanks to the Black Muslims.  Arabs have since found a home at S.F. State.

I haven’t had to deal with media Jew hate since I stopped reading the NewYork Times in the early 1970s.

A whole new self-hatred of Jews began in the late 1990s’ with the Anti-Defamation League when Lefty Jew hate was beginning and the ADL could only see the non-existent Jew hate in the politics of the Conservative leaders.  The ADL is a bastion of Jew hate to this day, along with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

Real home grown American Jew hate exploded sometime in the late 2010’s.  My son calls it “Leftyism on Steroids.”  Which it is.
