101 Truths I Never See in the Media
by

To list 101 truths, this article is double my usual length. Feel free to stop at any number.

In no particular order:

  1. The people here before Christopher Columbus arrived would go around in war paint hatcheting each other. . . .
  2. . . . and meticulously slicing off people’s scalps . . .
  3. . . . and snatching others’ women and forcing them to be wives or slaves . . .
  4. . . . and had their own diseases.
  5. Christopher Columbus did not know his head from his tuchus in navigating directions . . .
  6. . . . But G-d Almig-ty knew, and it was His plan to bring civilization and religious sanctuary to the New World.
  7. Christians brought civilization to the New World.
  8. The Catholics from Spain and Portugal were tough and often severe, but . . .
  9. . . . They encountered Aztecs and Incas who were no piece of cake, and they did what they did.
  10. All of South America ultimately is better-off because of it. Also California, thanks particularly to Junipero Serra.
  11. Europeans did not knowingly bring disease to the New World. No one but Chinese do.
  12. Notice that those who accuse Europeans of bringing disease never accuse China of infecting the planet with COVID.
  13. Protestants from England blessed North America with civilization.
  14. All of the United States is occupied territory taken from indigenous Indians.
  15. They should be called “Indians” until they call the “West Bank” by its names: Judea and Samaria.
  16. Roanoke, N.C. was a settlement in occupied territory.
  17. So was Jamestown.
  18. So is the Vermont where Ben & Jerry live.
  19. So is the Vermont where Ben & Jerry make ice cream.
  20. So is the land that produces the milk and cream for Ben & Jerrys.
  21. So is the Vermont that the non-indigenous Bernie Sanders came from Brooklyn to occupy.
  22. Delaware is named for Indians, on whose land Joe Biden and his state made an occupied settlement.
  23. Biden’s entire career has been spiced with publicly uttered bigotry, particularly against Blacks and Southeast Asians.
  24. Obama destroyed American culture, and it may never be restored, barring a great man arising who can withstand the media as Ronald Reagan somehow did.
  25. All of Western Europe, including England and France, are gutless and leave all the heavy lifting to America. The Brits, though, have had periods of great valor and courage.
  26. The proof of national cowardice? Never once has even England or France vetoed a Security Council resolution that one-sidedly condemned Israel. Instead, they abstain and leave it to America.
  27. It was right of Truman to hit Japan with two atom bombs. By doing so, he saved between 250,000 and one million Americans. That was his job.
  28. The Jews are the world’s canaries in the coal mine. Whatever death or toxicity is aimed initially at Jews will come after everyone else next. Every time.
  29. Hitler went after the Jews. Next thing we knew,75-85 million non-Jews died, too, including 450,000 heroic Brits and 418,000 heroic Americans.
  30. First, the Arabs in the 1970s hijacked a plane or two carrying Jews. Next thing we knew, they were hijacking others’ planes.
  31. First, Arabs started bombing Israeli civilians. Next thing we knew, they were slaughtering, bombing and beheading British, French, and other civilians.
  32. A person born with a penis is a man and always will be. XY chromosomes, etc.
  33. A person born with a vagina and breasts is a female and always will be. XX chromosomes.
  34. Life is sometimes unfair.
  35. It is unfair that a miscreant like Hunter Biden is so rich that he has spent $872,000 on prostitutes and porn clubs while others cannot afford adequate shelter in the winter or food.
  36. It is unfair that wealthy OJ Simpson could afford a legal team of F. Lee Bailey, Robert Shapiro, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Kardashian, and Johnnie Cochran while others who, unlike OJ, are wrongly accused of murder and cannot afford more than a DEI public defender who graduated at the bottom of her law school class.
  37. It is unfair that wealthy people often can afford bail, so can avoid remaining incarcerated until trial, while many others cannot afford bail, so remain in jail or prison pending trial.
  38. It is even more unfair to allow accused criminals to avoid bail altogether and to go free without bond the same day as their arrest or arraignment.
  39. It is unfair that wealthy people can buy for their children — like Al Gore and the George Bushes — admission into an Ivy League that provides a ticket to lifelong success while others cannot afford to get in, even though they want to avoid the politics and want just to get the Ivy degree and perhaps even to get educated.
  40. It is fair that people who work harder gain more lifelong success than people who do not.
  41. It is fair to assure people equal opportunity. It is unfair and un-American to assure people equal outcomes.
  42. Blacks were slaves, and their families were torn apart by slavery. This disadvantaged them even after being freed. But they began catching up.
  43. Blacks initially were held back by Democrats and their Ku Klux Klan.
  44. The 1964 Civil Rights Act passed the Senate 73-27.  Republicans voted for it 27-6 (82 percent to 18 percent).  Democrats 46-21 (69 percent to 31 percent). Thus, the “No” vote was 78 percent Democrat.
  45. LBJ’s and the Democrats’ “Great Society” programs destroyed Black families, drove Black fathers out of their homes because of requirements of federal means-tested programs, and transmogrified Black communities predominantly to have children born out of wedlock, assuring half a century of inordinate youth crime, males imprisoned, failure to graduate college, and failure in so many endeavors.
  46. “Affirmative Action” caused minority students unworthy of better schools but perfectly qualified for average or lesser schools to go to schools more demanding than their skills-sets could meet. So instead of their graduating from lesser colleges and then lesser graduate schools with professional degrees and certifications to make excellent livings and lives in their own communities, they ended up dropping out of those better and more demanding schools after a year or two, bearing the Mark of Cain — lifetime failure — and never completing college, on the one hand, nor preparing for an excellent high-paying vocational career on the other,
  47. When a kid (Asian, Jewish) knows he or she faces discrimination, the kid works harder from the start, developing the work habits that assure lifetime success.
  48. Jews and Asians seem to succeed inordinately not because they are genetically superior but because they begin with the awareness they will not get an even break.
  49. A born male, later with a penis chopped off (not just a bris) and silicone breasts attached, is an older male with a penis chopped off (not just a bris) and silicone breasts attached.
  50. A born female, later with breasts removed and an artificial penis sewn on, is a grown female with breasts removed and an artificial penis sewn on.
  51. Homosexuals should be treated fairly and decently. They never should face discrimination in the workplace or in healthcare, housing, or other policies.
  52. Sexual orientation is private and no one else’s business. “Pride Parades,” “Pride Week,” and “Pride Month” is offensive to people whose sexual orientations follow the norm, thus are normal.
  53. Those who oppose homosexual marriage on grounds it violates their religious values based on the Bible are not homophobes or homophobic. Rather, the word for that is that they are “religious” and “believe in the Word of G-d.”
  54. There is nothing wrong with Mormons holding a religious service posthumously converting Anne Frank to Mormonism because truly believing Jews (Orthodox Jews) regard that as nonsense.
  55. Half a century of Holocaust education and Holocaust museums and memorials are proven a waste of time and money, though assimilated Jews ignorant of their religious heritage like to build them because they have nothing else Judaic but the Holocaust to lean on. Those tens of millions instead should have been directed to Judaic education, teaching Jewish kids authentic Judaic values. The liberal Jewish parents could not face this truth and feared having kids who one day would observe the Sabbath and eat kosher, so now their Holocaust-educated and Holocaust-museum’d children are marching at Harvard, Columbia, Yale, and MIT against Israel and for those sworn to destroy not only Israel but all Jews — including them.
  56. A contemporary Harvard, Columbia, Yale, MIT, U. of Penn, etc., education means a child will be indoctrinated in leftist ideology, deconstruction of Western values, lies about America, lies about Israel, Marxism, contempt for the great writings and ideas of Dead White Men, contempt for “White Privilege,” and an ideology promoting socialism and devoid of love or even respect for the values of America’s Founding Fathers and our Constitution.
  57. Great and persuasive arguments can be made why not to send kids to Poison Ivy schools.
  58. But, unfortunately, the reality is that an Ivy college degree opens doors that others do not, and that carries through a lifetime.
  59. The only ways we will get our colleges back is when the billionaire donors who annually provide these universities with oxygen cancel their multi-million-dollar gifts . . . and . . .
  60. When the federal government (i) eliminates the universities’ tax-exempt status and their access to the federal student loan program, forcing the colleges to extend their own student loans that they can afford easily from their vast endowments and that will be repaid with interest handsomely if they prepare their students to succeed, or will be defaulted if their graduates emerge with majors in Transgender Climate Justice.
  61. Israel handed Gaza to the Arabs and the “Palestine Authority” in 2005. Gaza no longer was “occupied.” It was very nice, not at all an “open-air prison.” Israel’s leaders expected the world now would love Israel.
  62. The world did not respond by loving Israel.
  63. A free election was held, overseen and blessed as fair by Jimmy Carter, and Hamas was elected in a landslide.
  64. Hamas mass-murdered members of the governing “Palestine Authority,” threw out the ones still breathing, and took control of Gaza.
  65. Hamas has started six wars with Israel in 18 years.
  66. In each of the first five, Israel beat Hamas down, faced international demands to stop bombing and to accept a ceasefire, and did so to help the world love Israel.
  67. The world did not respond by loving Israel.
  68. In the fifth of those wars, Joe Biden pressured Bibi Netanyahu to stop bombing and to accept a ceasefire.
  69. Bibi buckled to win Biden’s friendship and support.
  70. Hamas rebuilt — above ground and in subterranean tunnels — and butchered 1,200 Israelis three years later on October 7, 2023, Shabbat Shmini Atzeret.
  71. Biden knows that he, in part, caused this mess by stopping Israel last time from eradicating Hamas.
  72. Bibi’s governing coalition is 64 seats of the 120-seat Knesset.
  73. Polls show that coalition now would garner 43-46 seats — in other words, a catastrophe.
  74. If Bibi does not utterly eradicate Hamas, he will lose not only the left but also his bases in the center and on the right.
  75. Israel does not have an “extreme-right” government. It is purely Western-style democratic.
  76. The two most conservative Knesset parties and leaders, Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, have proven perfectly reasonable parliamentarians a full year into their ministerial service.
  77. The Israeli government now is center-conservative — not “extreme right wing.”
  78. Donald Trump will not be a dictator. America is not headed for dictatorship, tyranny, fascism, and Nazism, if Trump wins — just chaos, woke and media-generated chaos.
  79. America has chaos now anyway.
  80. A sovereign country needs rules to define who has a right to live in its territory. These rules are called “citizenship” and “naturalization.” They keep unauthorized foreigners out.
  81. A country has the right to keep out any non-citizen it wants for any reason or even for no reason.
  82. Millions of people have been entering America illegally, particularly since the 1970s.
  83. Ronald Reagan did a particularly foolish and destructive thing by granting blanket amnesty to millions of illegals.
  84. Ronald Reagan also was deeply foolish and numbskull-wrong for condemning Menachem Begin’s decision to bomb and destroy Saddam Hussein’s nuclear facilities.
  85. Ronald Reagan also was deeply foolish in condemning Israel in 1982 for the killings of Arab Muslims in Southern Lebanon by Arab Christians.
  86. Reagan’s decision to send Marines overseas into Lebanon to do a better job controlling the Arab Muslims there resulted in a single bombing that killed 241 Marines and forced America to race them back home, tails between their legs, to the shame of our country.
  87. Reagan, despite all errors in judgment, was the greatest American president in half a century and even more.
  88. Donald Trump was better.
  89. The media lied about Trump before he even got the GOP nomination. He had been loved as a successful NBC TV show host and more. No one ever thought of him as racist or a hater of any kind. He had been a generous donor to Democrats including the Clintons. He prided himself as a deal-maker, not as a conservative. He is liberal on LGBTQIA+ issues, abortion, and many hot-button issues. He came in, boasting he was a deal-maker and just wanted to make deals, bringing Democrats and Republicans together, probably tilting left of center, except on doing business with China.
  90. The media and even the liberals, not just the progressives and the woke, would not give Trump a chance. They made him a conservative because he fights back hard against anyone who hits him.
  91. Trump’s spokespeople were superstars: Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kayleigh McEnany. They were smart, quick, knowledgeable, sharp. Yet the media pummeled them.
  92. Biden’s first spokesperson, though extreme leftist, also was of that quality. His present one was chosen for DEI: Karine Jean-Pierre. She is a national embarrassment.
  93. Biden’s DEI Vice President, Kamala, also is a fool. She very probably is the stupidest Vice President in American history.
  94. Kamala never was a distinguished attorney or attorney-general. She rose in California Democrat circles by escorting the married Willie Brown, half a century her senior, to nighttime soirees wearing extremely sparing upper clothes and “dating” the married Willie late at night. He raised her up from under. That is all it took for her to become a U.S. Senator. In California, “voting” for state-wide office is a formality.
  95. The same people who accused Brett Kavanaugh of a rape he never committed to a perjurous woman he never met claim that Hamas never raped any Israelis despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary.
  96. Robert Bork never advocated taking away rights, and he deserved unanimous confirmation for the Supreme Court. Paradoxically, Reagan was stuck with a minority senate because conservative Republican White Anglo-Saxon Protestants from the red Deep South Bible Belt saddled him with Democrat senators.
  97. Biden’s one Supreme Court nominee, a DEI, could not define “woman” in a hearing open to a nation. She is a mediocrity. As a law professor of nearly 20 years, a former Chief Articles Editor of UCLA Law Review, former federal appellate clerk, and former advanced litigator of ten years, I know. We all know. Others won’t say it. Thus this list.
  98. The movement to defund the police has led to impossible lawlessness in cities where this was advocated, from D.C. to Minnesota. “Smash and Grab” now is part of the lexicon.
  99. Ilhan Omar is from Somalia. Note her foreign policy carefully even apart from Israel. She follows straight Somali Muslim policy, down to backing Erdogan against Armenia and refusing to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
  100. Ilhan Omar was married to her brother. This document has been published often and never denied.
  101. Ocasio represents only one heavily Puerto Rican community, one of 535 in Congress. The entire Squad of misfits (pulling fire alarms in Congress, getting censured by the House, etc.) comprise only two percent of Congress.

Rav Fischer’s recent high-energy no-holds-barred encore interview with the Jewish Republican Alliance appears here. In it, he discusses Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, the uselessness of Biden and Kamala, the sicknesses on America’s college campuses, opines on Charlie Kirk, Tucker, Candace, and the ADL, and the 2024 election.

Rav Fischer’s memorable two televised debates with a national leader of CAIR, the leading anti-Semitic Arab Muslim body in the United States, can be found here and here.

His latest deeply moving series of three informational and inspirational programs on the Hamas Gaza War may be found hereherehere, and here on YouTube. Because of some sensitive subject matter and viewing content relating to Hamas terror, YouTube is restricting the programs to viewers 18 and up.
