"Farrakhan, Facts and Fairness / Hospitality, Like Charity, Begins at Home / Congrats to the Red Sox, BUT..."

The terrible murders at the Jewish synagogue on Saturday are heart-wrenching and despicable.  But those who are trying to blame President Donald Trump for them are way off base.

I have observed that those who blame TRUMP, and things he says, as somehow responsible for these murders are usually white liberals.  These were SILENT when Louis Farrakhan recently stated that he is "not anti-Semite, he's anti termite."  To be fair, they probably didn't APPROVE of what Farrakhan (pictured above) openly declared, but were no doubt afraid to be called "racist" or "anti-Islam" by their friends and thus kept their mouths shut  Therefore, they're not JEW-haters, they're just SELF-haters who always find excuses when people of color do wrong and then take it out on a white scapegoat. They are politically correct cowards, in other words. And Trump is their scapegoat.

So, though Trump has never said anything CLOSE to what Farrakhan said, and in fact has proven himself, in my mind, to be a FRIEND of Israel, yet Liberals feel free to blame HIM for what an evil, hateful shooter did.  (And nevermind that Trump, correctly, said that the shooter  should be executed for it!! Facts, and fairness, don't matter to Liberals.  Only their godless agenda does.)

As you can see from the pics below, Democratic "leaders" have no problem associating with Farrakhan, but I don't see TRUMP with him!! So please, please, PLEASE don't mention Farrakhan and Trump in the same breath again, Mr. Fineman.  Not till you criticize your fellow Democrats, first.

Hospitality, Like Charity, Begins at Home. I bought the new book "The Hospitable Leader," frankly, only because my son did the AMAZING cover art (the author is his pastor.)  I have profited much from reading the book, itself, however!!

In this book, the author concludes that Christians (especially leaders in the church) should show hospitality not just by welcoming people into our HOMES, but into our hearts and minds by reaching out to those with cultural and political differences.  It's a very thought-provoking and challenging book written in a VERY readable style.  If it has a flaw, though, it's that the book fails to mention how, sometimes, leaders need to reach out to those ALREADY in our homes.  At times, bridge-building is necessary to overcome relationship barriers right at HOME before we reach out to those from other places, whether those be physical, spiritual, mental or political places.  In fact, often, when priority is put on reaching those OUTside the home it can cause problems INside.

I would have liked to see a chapter in this book entitled "Hospitality, Like Charity, Begins at Home" but other than that, it is a TERRIFIC book (available on Amazon.)




Congrats to the Red Sox, BUT.......................Congrats, Boston Red Sox for winning the World Series the other night!!

Yes, you beat my 100 win Yankees in the first round of the playoffs.

Yes, you beat the 103 game winners / reigning World Champion Astros in the SECOND round.

And yes, when you should have lost Game 4 of the World Series, you used Puig's silly showboating (after his monster homer put you down 4-0) as incentive to score 9 runs in the last few innings and go up 3-1...instead of letting the Dodgers tie you, 2-2.  (Great job in FINISHING them, in Game 5, by the way.)

Boston Red Sox, YOU DESERVED to win the 2018 World Series, as much as I dislike you.

But let's get real....what was that, your EIGHTH World Title?? Because many are now saying you are the greatest team of all time, let me point out that my Yankees have won 27.

And yes, Red Sox you had a GREAT year...108 wins in the regular season, 119 overall. But because some are now saying it was the greatest season of ANY baseball team EVER, let me remind you that 20 years ago, my Yankees won 114 in the regular season, 125 overall.

And it only took the '98 Yankees FOUR games to win the World Series...took you guys FIVE against the hapless, Closer-less Dodgers.

So Congrats on a GREAT year, yes, but you were foolish to taunt the Yanks in your postgame celebration after the World Seies ended,  just like PUIG was foolish to taunt YOU in Game 4.  We WILL come roaring back next year just like YOU guys got annoyed and came back!! But you really shouldn't have given us something to motivate us even more, Lol!!
