Bassem  Youssef was the Egyptian comedian most compared to Jon Stewart, in Stewart’s heyday. Youssef was wildly popular in Egypt; until, the regime called  him in,  for questioning on the one sidedness of his jokes. After that interview, his attorney advised him not to let the sun set on him in Egypt.    He fled Egypt, and now lives with his family in America. He recently gave a poignant ad pregnant interview on British television about the current Israeli/HAMAS war; and how insignificant the lives of Palestinians are, in comparison to seven foreign aid workers, killed in an Israeli drone strike.

She was touched, and then asked would this Blogger comment on the current state of affairs in the Middle East?

This Blogger's ancient mother, had survived World War I, the Great Influenza, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression,  World War II, the Korean Wa

If the Republic intends to survive the 21 st  Century, its foreign born Elite must do a better job of understanding America.   The governing foreign born elite governing America is comprised of John Oliver, Fareed Zakaria, Medhi Hasan, Rep. Pramila  Jayapal, Katy Kay, Alejandro Mayorkas, David Frum, David Brooks, Ilhan Omar, M aria Hinojosa, K arin Jean Pierre,   C hristiane Amanpour  and Ali Velshi.     They are all oblivious to American Blood Memory and its continuing power over the American Psyche.   They all had conniption fits last week when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene declared her admiration of Russian President Vladimir Putin, as a Defender of the Faith, Christianity.   “Republican Rep.  Marjorie Taylor Greene  on Monday said that Russia is "protecting Christianity" more than Ukraine, as part of what she described as a broader war against the religion. Greene, the two-term GOP lawmaker out of Georgia, has been one of the more outspoken members of her party's confer
