A Very Boca Christmas

 

Twas the night before Christmas

and down here in Boca,

... I was sitting at Starbucks,

drinking my mocha.

I know we're all Jewish,

but was wondering still,

if Santa would come here

and give us a thrill.

On my way home,

no Christmas lights did I see,

on the houses, the windows,

not even the trees.

What a strange feeling.

Not a decoration in sight.

Was it really December

or a warm summer's night?

I drove past Toojay's,

there were lines out the door.

People were waiting

for kishka and more.

The restaurants were busy,

Christmas dinners not planned.

Never, not here

we're in Boca Land .

At home all was quiet.

I left out Kosher wine,

In case Santa came to Boca

for the very first time.

Snoozing came easy

to me Christmas Eve.

I wasn't waiting for presents

to be left under a tree.

I could hope all I want.

I could fuss and then see,

if Santa would make time

for little old me.

Then all of a sudden

up pulled his Jag,

with a sack full of presents

each sporting a tag.

Oh Bloomies, oh Saks

Oh Nieman's and more.

He knows where to shop,

he frequents my stores!

He looked for the lox,

the bagels and deli.

He came to Boca first

to fill up his belly!

"I have a long night ahead,

I want you to know.

From Boca I leave

for New York and the snow."

He stayed for a while,

he chatted and ate.

Then he left in a flash

before it got late.

What a great night

I thought with a sigh.

That jolly old Santa

is a really nice guy.

As I cleared off the table

I heard with delight

"Shalom to you all,

and OY, what a night!!

A Christmas Story, The Angel on top of the Christmas Tree

 

A Little Christmas Story

When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre Christmas pressure. Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.

Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor.. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.

The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'

And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Not a lot of people know this.

Remember the date: January 3rd, 2007

"A history lesson you will not find in the news, weather TV or Print. You won’t find it in our schools either, I wonder why?

DO YOU REMEMBER JANUARY 3, 2007?

Your history lesson for today. Some people have short memories…..

DO YOU REMEMBER JANUARY 3, 2007?

I’ve been saying this for years, but this email probably explains it

better and more clearly. This is NOT a political message, but rather

a clarification to remind us all of the correct facts.

Remember that on October 9, 2007, 11 months before our “economic

crisis” occurred (that was actually created), the Dow hit its highest

point ever, closing at 14,164.53 and reaching 14,198.10 intra-day

level 2 days later. Unemployment was steady at 4.7%. But things were

already being put in place to create the havoc we’ve all been

experiencing since then. And it all started, as this email explains,

on January 3, 2007. --LFL

I'm sending this to each of you regardless of your party preferences

because I believe it is something you may not have considered.

This tells the story, why Bush was so “bad” at the end of his term.

Don't just skim over this, it's not very long, read it slowly and let

it sink in. If in doubt, check it out!!!

The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was

actually January 3rd 2007, which was the day the Democrats took over

the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the

110th Congress.

The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the

first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy

that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this: January 3rd, 2007

was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.

At the time:

The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77

The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%

The Unemployment rate was 4.6%

George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH

Remember the day...

January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House

Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate

Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months

later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL

SERVICES!

Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping

5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie

Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in

2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.

And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie

Mac? OBAMA And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA

and the Democrat Congress.

So when someone tries to blame Bush. REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007....

THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"

Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and

the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat

Party.

Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 &

2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.

In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused

them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough

on spending increases.

For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush

entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running

until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a

massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.

And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that

very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he

signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the

last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five

years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After

that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that

includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a

nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted

for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January

20th."

 

Paradise of Mice AKA An Experiment into Socialism

 

Jeromy Yager

in  ·

The "Universe 25" experiment is one of the most terrifying experiments in the history of science, which, through the behavior of a colony of mice, is an attempt by scientists to explain human societies. The idea of ​​"Universe 25" Came from the American scientist John Calhoun, who created an "ideal world" in which hundreds of mice would live and reproduce. More specifically, Calhoun built the so-called "Paradise of Mice", a specially designed space where rodents had Abundance of food and water, as well as a large living space. In the beginning, he placed four pairs of mice that in a short time began to reproduce, resulting in their population growing rapidly. However, after 315 days their reproduction began to decrease significantly. When the number of rodents reached 600, a hierarchy was formed between them and then the so-called "wretches" appeared. The larger rodents began to attack the group, with the result that many males begin to "collapse" psychologically. As a result, the females did not protect themselves and in turn became aggressive towards their young. As time went on, the females showed more and more aggressive behavior, isolation elements and lack of reproductive mood. There was a low birth rate and, at the same time, an increase in mortality in younger rodents. Then, a new class of male rodents appeared, the so-called "beautiful mice". They refused to mate with the females or to "fight" for their space. All they cared about was food and sleep. At one point, "beautiful males" and "isolated females" made up the majority of the population. According to Calhoun, the death phase consisted of two stages: the "first death" and "second death." The former was characterized by the loss of purpose in life beyond mere existence — no desire to mate, raise young or establish a role within society. As time went on, juvenile mortality reached 100% and reproduction reached zero. Among the endangered mice, homosexuality was observed and, at the same time, cannibalism increased, despite the fact that there was plenty of food. Two years after the start of the experiment, the last baby of the colony was born. By 1973, he had killed the last mouse in the Universe 25. John Calhoun repeated the same experiment 25 more times, and each time the result was the same.

Calhoun's scientific work has been used as a model for interpreting social collapse, and his research serves as a focal point for the study of urban sociology.

We are currently witnessing direct parallels in today’s society..weak, feminized men with little to no skills and no protection instincts, and overly agitated and aggressive females with no maternal instincts.

ON TOP THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT, ARE DISPLAYED TWO WORDS: Laus Deo

 

ON TOP THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT, ARE DISPLAYED TWO WORDS:

Laus Deo

Just in case you may not have known…

One detail that is seldom mentioned is that in Washington, D.C. there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument. With all the uproar about removing the Ten Commandments, etc., this is worth a moment or two of your time.

On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., are displayed two words: Laus Deo.

No one can see these words. In fact, most visitors to the monument are totally unaware they are even there and for that matter, probably couldn't care less. Once you know Laus Deo's history, you will want to share this with everyone you know.

These words have been there for many years; they are 555 feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop the monument, facing skyward to the Father of our nation, overlooking the 69 square miles which comprise the District of Columbia, capital of the United States of America.

Laus Deo! Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed words. Out of sight and, one might think, out of mind, but very meaningfully placed at the highest point over what is the most powerful city in the most successful nation in the world.

So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of just four syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean? Very simply, they say Praise be to God!

Though construction of this giant obelisk began in1848, when James Polk was President of the United States, it was not until 1888 that the monument was inaugurated and opened to the public. It took twenty-five years to finally cap the memorial with a tribute to the Father of our nation, Laus Deo, "Praise be to God!"

From atop this magnificent granite and marble structure, visitors may take in the beautiful panoramic view of the city with its division into four major segments. From that vantage point, one can also easily see the original plan of the designer, Pierre Charles L'Enfant ..... a perfect cross imposed upon the landscape, with the White House to the north, The Jefferson Memorial is to the south, the Capitol to the east and the Lincoln Memorial to the west.

A cross you ask? Why a cross? What about separation of church and state? Yes, a cross; separation of church and state was NOT, is NOT, in the Constitution.

So, read on.

How interesting and, no doubt, intended to carry a profound meaning for those who bother to notice.

When the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was laid on July 4th, 1848 deposited within it were many items including the Holy Bible presented by the Bible Society. Praise be to God! Such was the discipline, the moral direction, and the spiritual mood given by the founder and first President of our unique democracy 'One Nation, Under God.'

I am awed by George Washington's prayer for America .... Have you ever read it? Well, now is your unique opportunity, so read on...

"Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large.

And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love MERCY, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation.

Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

Laus Deo!

It is hoped you will send this to every sister, brother, father, mother or friend. They will not find it offensive because you have given them a lesson in history that they probably never learned in school.

With that, be not ashamed or afraid, but have pity for those who will never see this because someone failed to send it on.

Those who do not learn history, are doomed to repeat it... Well guess what?? History is coming full circle again but this time you're able to educate yourselves and stand up to the Medical Tyranny being perpetuated around the world. The millions of people in 1918 weren't so fortunate and paid the ultimate price. 

"Autopsies after the war proved that the 1918 flu was NOT a “FLU” at all. It was caused by random dosages of an experimental ‘bacterial meningitis v*ccine’, which to this day, mimics flu-like symptoms. The massive, multiple assaults with additional v*ccines on the unprepared immune systems of soldiers and civilians created a “killing field”. Those that were not v*ccinated were not affected." - Link below.

"Medical and scientific experts now agree that bacteria, not influenza viruses, were the greatest cause of death during the 1918 flu pandemic." - Link below to article.

WE HAVE HAD A FLU V*CCINE FOR 78 YEARS AND THE FLU STILL KILLS ON BETWEEN 400,000 TO 650,000 PEOPLE EACH YEAR. Do you really believe another experiential v*ccine is the answer?

From January 21 – June 4, 1918, an experimental bacterial meningitis v*ccine cultured in horses by the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York was injected into soldiers at Fort Riley. They had around 6 MILLION soldiers to experiment on.

WW1 U.S. soldiers were given 14 – 25 untested, experimental v*ccines within days of each other, which triggered intensified cases of ALL the diseases at once. They decided to reclassify this as a new disease (Spanish Flu).

During the remainder of 1918 as those soldiers – often living and traveling under poor sanitary conditions – were sent to Europe to fight, they spread bacteria at every stop between Kansas and the frontline trenches in France.

When WW1 ended on November 11, 1918, soldiers returned to their home countries and colonial outposts, spreading the killer bacterial pneumonia worldwide.

IT SEEMS THAT HISTORY IS ABOUT TO REPEAT ITSELF.

MILLIONS of people are being asked to take multiple experimental v*ccines for a 'virus' that is not yet understood and has an incredibly low mortality rate in it's current form.

I ask all of you to be cautious and educate yourself before allowing these companies to experiment on you and risk causing a much worse outbreak.

Education is your friend here. Look at sources from all sides, not just what the mainstream tell you.

THESE are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. ~Thomas Paine

I’m moving to Mexico. So, I wrote to the White House Dear Mr. President:

 I’m moving to Mexico. So, I wrote to the White House

Dear Mr. President:   I'm planning to move to Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.   I'm planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I'll need your help to make a few arrangements.   I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.  I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.  So, would you mind telling your buddy, the Mexican President, that I'm on my way down?   Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:   1 Free medical care .   2 English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.   3 Please print all Mexican government forms in English.   4 I want my grand kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.   5 Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.   6 I want my grand kids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.   7 Please plan to feed my grand kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.   8 I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services and be able to vote.   9 I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.   10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English speaking officer..   11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put US. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th.  I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.   12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.   13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say a critical thing about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.   14. I want to receive free food stamps.   15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.   16. I'll need Income tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican Taxes, I'll receive money from the government.   17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.   18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.   I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who come to the U.S. from Mexico  .   I am sure that the Mexican President won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.    Thank you so much for your kind help. You're the man!

I Am Israel

 

I am Israel. I came to the land 4,000 years ago and I multiplied on both sides of the river Jordan, and made the land blossom. I am of Abraham, Sarah, of Isaac, Rekekah, of Jacob, of Esther, and of David.

I am Israel. My people were slaughtered by the Assyrians, then by the Greeks and then by the Romans. In 73 AD my temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by the legions of Rome. I spread throughout the middle sea but always stayed close to my Jerusalem. I visited the tombs of my patriarchs and I cried at the walls of my temple.

I am Israel. I cried for my children at the feet of the Crusaders, of the Mamluks, of the Arabs, of the Turks, of the British, at the feet of the world but I did not forget you, Oh, Zion, Oh, Jerusalem !

I am Israel. I am her native sons and daughters. From the Galilee to the hills of Judea to the sands of Arava. I gathered in my children together from many lands.

I am Israel. In 1948 I again lit my fire on the hill of nations, but my neighbours tried to destroy me, but failed. Over 1% of my children were killed defending me against my neighbours the Arabs who would not live with my hebrew children. My children defended me and I was reborn to shine my light from that hill in Judea. The Arabs blocked me from praying at your holy walls for 19 years, only I was blocked. I took in 800,000 of my children seeking refuge from the Arab lands for the next 10 years.

I am Israel. In 1967, I was again threatened and attacked but my children defended me with their blood and lives, liberating the hills of my native land and opening up my land so that I could walk again over my native hills and valleys. I could once again make the hills blossom with milk and honey. I sought peace in the land but was offered their three Noes, the kalashnikovs and their cries of genocide. They murdered my children on the beaches of Tel Aviv, the hills of the Galilee, the classrooms of Ma'Alot, the buses of the Negev, the streets of Jerusalem. They offered my children hate, death and war.

I am Israel. In 1973 the Arabs came again to destroy me and to kill my children from the river to the sea but I am Israel and I endure, I am Safed to the North, Ein Bokek to the east, I am Eilat to the South and I am Tel Aviv to the West, I endure.

In 1979, my children gave the Arabs back their Sinai lands, and offered them the olive branch of peace. They offered my children rockets and bullets.

I am Israel. I have many enemies but I also have many friends. All the forces of the world bow to the power of the oil of the Arabs, including the committees of the UN, and the political courts of the condescending élites but I am Israel, I live here, I live the reality of living in the valley of the shadow of death, but I will fear no evil. I am a real friend to all and I have real friends. I am patient in suffering but I am not to be taken for a fool.

I am Israel. I am denigrated, I am maligned, I am hated, I am blamed, I am scapegoated by all, I am condemned for defending myself and for having friends. I suffer the slings and arrows of the propaganda against me for seeking to survive, to flourish to live, to be. Many of the international news sources will only ever misrepresent me, ignore the wrongs against me, will condemn me for retaliating, will deny me my right to defend myself, will excuse the murderous attacks on my children, will refuse me the justice of my causes.

I am Israel. I have sought to make “peace” with my enemies despite the pogroms in 1929, the riots in 1936, the invasions of 1948 and 1973, the battles of 1967, the rockets of the 1980s to the suicide bombings of the 1990s. I have compromised my best interests, I have exchanged murderous Palestinian terrorists for the corpses of my children for I am Israel. I am true to my word, I negotiate, I offer my hand and I accept their unjust demands, I have released their children of terror but for them to return with knives, with cleavers, with bombs with guns and with hate. I protect my children, my friends and my native land. I will live on the hilltops without water or shade but I will make the arid land blossom and bloom. My children will be safe on my pathways and my fords, they will sup at the bosom of my springs and feed on my manna which they will nourish with their own hands.

I am Israel. My children serve in their own people's army which is the most moral in the world, slow to anger but resolute when angered. On many occasions I have stayed the hand of my children from retaliating against my enemy although he hides among his own that I would not harm the innocent. I warn my enemies and their fellow travellers before I smite them with my hand, for I am Israel. I insist that my children act in accordance with law and even offer law to those who would harm me. I argue with my children when they have done wrong and praise them when they are in the right. I’m

I am Israel. I want peace and freedom for all, and I will insist that my children are protected. I will protect my own, and offer the hand of friendship to those who have peace in their hearts, I will stand against those who would hurt my children, I will NOT stand idly by, because I am Israel.
