VIRGINIA MILLANO EVANGELISTA FABRO~RIVERA'S WILD IRISES IN THE TOWN OF RAMAPO, NEW YORK
Dovid Rosenfeld: In fact, the Sages state that we should not stare at a rainbow because it is tantamount to staring at God Himself (Talmud Hagigah 16a).

"I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple" (New International Version, Revelation 21:22 Multilingual).
Your column has become a favorite. Well, favorite. Not since Jim Knipfel’s Slackjaw have I anticipated such… Personality.
Jim’s column was Fake. Yours is real, like scary real, and I’ve enjoyed the Weeks immensely, especially picking them apart like split ends. The exercise in brevity keeps me engaged, otherwise I get all Fat and careless. I’ve only written Haiku since, I don’t know, last year or so. Feels like forever. Your latest observation, for example:
Don’t look back. Islam is coming. Is Hollande being asked to start a peace process? I haven’t heard. Sorry. I am funny and intolerant that way.
Some 48 hours later Islam came. Islam came with a bang. What happened? Too much to ask, I’m afraid, because to some people it never sinks in. Islam came to town. More keep coming to the United States, Canada, and throughout Europe, most of them men without women or children; most of them of military age and most of them deserters.
It’s never been about Israel. It’s not about land. It’s not about anything. That’s the scary part. It’s about something else that our Western minds can’t absorb. Now who’s paranoid? Don’t look back. Islam is coming.
Americans are Asanine. Europeans are Cowardly. They are either Bitches or Pussies to be Neutered. Mi Pals I’ve Sold. Mi Loves I’ve Bought. They are either Pimps or Whores to be Bridled. In a Generation of Orphans and Widows there is no room for Denials.
Camonghne Felix (@KamoneFromPluto): One of the worst things you can do, professionally, is be more than 15 minutes late for a scheduled meeting, w/ or w/o notice. reschedule.
betvous: Help me find a cookbook. I saw it on here once it has what sounds like a flippant title but is really an awesome cookbook with recipes from Shoah survivors. Does anyone else remember it? badjewess: I think it’s just called the Holocaust cookbook theeuropeanminhag-official: I have no idea, but would this be the one?
Michael Kayne: My computer was recently stolen from a hotel in Ohio. The family and I were driving back and forth to Indiana from NYC and sometime during our moving out of the Fairfield Inn we’d stopped in, our computer disappeared. We complained to the hotel management, who interviewed all their housekeepers and came up empty. We stopped short of reporting it to the cops, under the assumptions that we didn’t want to add more time to our already lengthy trip and that there was no way we’d ever get it back. I bit the bullet and spent a hefty amount on a new Macbook.
BUT
Before it was stolen, I’d installed PREY on the computer. And two days ago, PREY sent me an email saying that someone connected to the internet with my computer. PREY surreptitiously turned on the computer camera and sent me a picture of the new user, a screenshot of the desktop, and a ton of their data. The upper right hand corner of the screenshot gave the wifi name, which was RonanMaloney88 (name changed), and the username was also RonanMaloney88. I searched the internet for a Ronan Maloney in Ohio and got only one result that came with a home address and an age: 26. A 26-year-old would have been born in 1988, hence the 88 in his username. I called the cops in that Ohio town. They tracked the dude down at a new address and sent a car to his house, where they found him and his girlfriend. His girlfriend had worked at Fairfield Inn as a housekeeper and immediately confessed to stealing the computer.
BLAM.
My computer is currently sitting in evidence at the Belmont Sheriff’s office.
A bunch of people offered to help me out and lent some technical expertise to the cause. THANK YOU Noah Forman and Alex Khurgin.
Most of all, thanks to Deputy Weekley and also to Preyproject.com, for which this tumblr post is essentially an advertisement. INSTALL PREY ON YOUR LAPTOP.
Also, between having my laptop stolen and finding used children’s underwear in the couch cushions, not a ringing endorsement for the Fairfield Inn of St. Clairsville, OH.
Avner Boskey: Whether the Jewish people are at home in their Promised Land, scattered in the Exile, or "comfortable in the Diaspora" as some would describe it, they are still distinct and different.
Through the distinctive separateness of the Jewish people, mankind would be delivered from sin and rebellion.
This separate identity is ongoing. And this separate and distinctive identity will be honored and respected by the nations who walk in obedience and belief (Zechariah 8:20-23). Here is where the blessing and cursing aspects of Genesis 12:3 come. For those non-Jews who are prepared to gladly receive this teaching and positional reality, there will be blessing and light. But for those Gentiles (even believers) who reject and disdain this teaching (this is the meaning of the first verb in Genesis 12:3 – meqalelecha means "the one who mocks/derides you, or treats you as a light and unimportant matter"), the results involve the withholding of spiritual and physical blessing along with resulting darkening of understanding.
He is sifting the nations based on their treatment of Israel, the apple of His eye. Israel His inheritance is not diluted or diminished by the future love and good fellowship between the reborn nations of Egypt, Assyria (northern Iraq) and Israel. They are still guided by and interpreted by the irrevocable and unchanging plumbline of the Jewish people.
RT: Adena Village and Boomer Bottom are being evacuated. At least one tank car ended up in a local river, while another slammed into a house and burst into flames.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
"The Terror you inspire and the Pride of your Heart has deceived you, O Dwellers in the Clefts of the Rock, who Occupy the Heights of the Hill, who says in his Heart, 'Who will bring me down to Earth?' Though you may rise High like the Eagle and though you set your Nest among the Stars, from there I will bring you down, declares YHVH" (Obadiah 1:3-4 Multilingual, Jeremiah 49:16 Multilingual).
Translation: "The United States of America which is called, according to The Spirit, 'In the Name of Sedom and Egypt,' where also their Lord was crucified" (Apocalypse 11:8 Multilingual).
Timofey Bordachev: In sum, the category of "international order" may soon follow "multipolarity" into conceptual obscurity. It will be talked about, invoked in speeches, and cited in academic papers – but it will no longer describe how the world truly works. We are moving into an age where power is distributed differently, where the mechanisms of control are less formalized, and where legitimacy is negotiated in real time rather than bestowed by inherited institutions.
