ALPERN AT LARGE - Well…congrats, left-wing radicals! Every native-born Jew, and every foreign-born Jew, and even the few remaining Holocaust survivors within both the West and within Israel have targets painted on their foreheads. Copycat killings here we come!
Ditto for those young adults who end up with lethal amounts of fentanyl, and for those at risk or currently are being forced into human trafficking by some of the most horrible people on planet Earth.
Most of us reading this are aware of the monster in Colorado who tried burning Jews alive for the crime of peacefully protesting the ongoing travails of Hamas-held prisoners in Gaza. Planning this terrorism for a year, flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails were hurled by a creep who shouldn’t even have been in this nation with his overstayed visa.
But there are still plenty of Americans, I’ve no doubt, who are so much “in the tank” for whatever extremist and/or political and/or feelgood reasons for “cause” or “causes”, that we’ll still have to fight just to allow our nation to be protected from, and rid of, these clear and present dangers that NO nation or people should have to tolerated.
So rather than those of us who obey the laws, and who eschew such law-breaking, having to be put on the defensive, here are a few questions we should ask those who enabled this terrorist event, who enable fentanyl and other dangerous drugs infiltrated into our nation, and who enable human trafficking in the good ol’ US of A:
1. Can we allow ICE, the FBI, and Homeland Security to hunt those here illegally (or even legally, if they’re breaking the law) and kick them out NOW?
2. Are not activist judges and “resistance” mayors, governors, and other political figures accessories to these sorts of crimes?
3. Can we start reasonably expecting bipartisan cooperation from all levels and parties of government to work together like we did after 9/11 to keep ourselves and our children safe?
4. How many Jews ARE supposed to die before we say “Enough” or “Never Again?” (Because I thought that 6 million was enough…but I guess I’m wrong…)
5. How many young men and women in our nation ARE supposed to suffer and die from fentanyl overdosing to recognize which world entities threaten us from abroad?
6. When do we pay more than lip service to halt human trafficking cold?
7. Which is worse: domestic terrorism, human trafficking, or importing dangerous drugs, or the Trump Administration who’s opposing such uncivilized acts?
8. Do misguided governors like California Gov. Gavin Newsom or Colorado Gov. Jared Polis deserve any political future, or a condemnation that they have aided and abetted some of the worst people walking amongst us in our nation just because they see political capital in opposing Pres. Donald Trump?
9. Will this hurt, or help, a 2026 entrenchment of GOP leadership in Washington and throughout the nation in our next election cycles?
10. Finally, the big one: will this help or hurt the Democratic Party in their various and sundry anti-Trump and anti-MAGA rallies and causes?
