A comedian's bogus charges of Trump being anti-Semitic

Jeff Dunetz:
At a time when the country is begging for a more civilized dialog between different political persuasions, Sarah Silverman appeared on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” and told lies about President Trump. After Bill Maher congratulated Silverman for receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Silverman said:“You know, in a time, Bill, where anti-Semitic crime is up 57 percent since this douchebag has taken office, it is not lost on me that I am very lucky that I get a star and I don’t have to sew it on my clothes.” (video below)

As a Jew, I feel extremely fortunate that Silverman doesn’t put a star on her clothes because I would hate to have it shoved into people’s faces that someone who is that stupid is also Jewish.

If there is anything as bad as Antisemitism is when people make the charges of Jew-hatred when it’s not true. It makes it much easier for people to deny the charge when it is true.

It’s one thing to disagree with Trump’s policies or even his demeanor as POTUS, it’s another thing to falsely claim he exhibits something as vile as Antisemitism. On these pages, it’s been demonstrated many times that Donald Trump NOT anti-Semitic, in fact, he is the most pro-Jewish president in my lifetime. And that’s his policies. Beyond that his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren are Jewish.

Even before he was elected president, Trump was very generous in donating to Jewish Organizations, and that’s how he earned the honor of being grand marshal of the Israel Day parade. In Jewish charities, typically the highest honors go to the biggest donors. Trump counts Jews among his circle of friends, including Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

No president before Trump worked to stop the UN from slamming Israel for made-up human rights abuses. Trump canceled the JCPOA Iran deal which threatened to destroy the Jewish Homeland, defended Israel in the wake of the Hamas-led Gaza, and was the first President to keep his promise of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.

As for the ADL’s count of a 57% increase in anti-Semitic incidents Silverman quoted…it’s a bogus study....
...
Most of those bomb-threat calls were made by an Israeli-Jew. His calls were international in nature, he made over 2,000 bomb threat calls to North America, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and Denmark The other bomb threat-maker was a Juan Thompson, a former Intercept writer from Missouri who made only eight of the bomb threats. Thompson’s threats weren’t motivated by Antisemitism, he was trying to terrorize an ex-girlfriend.
...
Liberals seem to routinely use lies and smears to demonstrate their disagreement with Trump.  Is it just too hard for them to disagree on substance and policies?

Meanwhile, the media ignores the anti-Semitic Democrats who were just elected.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
