The Mets Won’t Repeat History This Year

​On May 30, 2024, the Mets’ record was 23 and 33. And they went on to play in the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers. And lost in the seventh game.

This year, with a different cast of characters (decidedly so), as of this morning, exactly two years later, they are 24 and 33. Could this portend into another rally to gain entry into the playoffs again?

Only in our dreams, Mets Fans.

This team may have more talent man for man than the 2024 team. But for most of them, they signed last off-season for a big paycheck.

The 2024 team came together because they were hungry, had mostly played together for several years, and learned to overlook the quirkiness of each other. This team, from the start of Spring Training, had no such history or personality traits.

And the brilliant POBO, David Stearns, showed he was such an egomaniac that he let the heart and soul of the team leave without a care for the fan base. Now, he gets to wallow in the disaster HE created.

The owner, Steve Cohen, gets to see half the stadium empty on most nights. Yes, there are games which 30,000 or more may show up, but it is tied to a give-away or a special event. Like today, when Bobby Valentine and Lee Mazzilli are honored as the latest Mets Hall of Fame inductees.

Boy Genius Stearns is hoping, by bringing up the future now, that these rookies will help remove the stink on this club that Stearns himself created. But he knows they are too young to really gel, at least this year, as a team. And Steve Cohen knows he is paying a hefty price at $370MM for a team in a rebuilding mode.

Not a good look for a savvy businessman, is it?

And for those of us who have been loyal, long-suffering fans, apparently this is our penance for everything and anything we have ever done. And we get it. 

So, we will continue to watch and root for the boys in Orange and Blue, much like the fans of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who were loyal to the core for their “Bums”, until they were deserted for Los Angeles. Because that is in our DNA. As true Orange and Blue fans.

All we can do each night as we watch the disaster Stearns created and cheer with all our might and as loud as we can, LETS GO METS!

Mamdani Shows His Ugly Anti-Semitic Character

​Yesterday, DSA Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an avowed Communist, revealed again his anti-Semitic attitude by claiming he will NOT attend the annual Israel Day Parade on Sunday. A tradition which every New York City mayor has attended annually since it was first held 1964.

Why? Because he disagrees with the Jewish state’s government.

First of all, you don’t have to support the Israeli government to attend. After all, Senator Schmuck Schumer has attended in the past. And he doesn’t support Israel, either.

The celebration along Fifth Avenue draws tens of thousands of revelers annually, including local community groups and students. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch will, instead, serve as an honorary Grand Marshall this year.

The top cop, who is Jewish, pointed to herself during the briefing when a reporter asked if anyone would be representing the Mamdani administration at the parade.

“It is the mayor’s decision not to march, and it is my decision to march proudly,” she said.

But some members of the Jewish community weren’t convinced by Mamdani’s reason for ditching the event, pointing out it is a celebration of religious identity and comes at a time when anti-Semitism continues to roil the City.

And considering that there are about ONE MILLION Jews living in New York City and over TWO MILLION Jews living in the New York Metro area, the largest number of Jews outside Israel, it is actually an insult to almost 15% of the City’s residents.

Rabbi Marc Schneier, president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, had a blunt message for the Democratic Socialists of America darling  and said recently, “The mayor was elected to lead all of us. He has decided that some of us are not worth his time. That is his right. It is also our right to remember it.”

Mamdani’s snub stands in sharp contrast with his predecessors and comes after he happily joined other festivities this year, including the Lunar New Year Parade honoring Asian citizens, the Pragwah Parade honoring Indians and other Hindus, and the St Patrick’s Day Parade honoring the Irish. But his hatred for citizens who profess Judaism is actually abominable and appalling.

Let’s keep this in mind what a bigot he truly is.

What Happens When Patience Is Lost

​Patience is the mark of a person which some have seen as weakness. But patience, or forbearance, is one of the Gifts God gives to a person, like Wisdom and Grace, to battle through tough obstacles.

President Trump has displayed much patience since the ceasefire began on April 8, after about six weeks of unremitting bombardment of the IRGC and the Iran regime. And it has been extended several times since then.

And in spite of the dalliances and delays by Iran to finalize a “peace agreement”, the President has displayed extraordinary patience, ignoring both world opinion and from critics in this country. Oh, and the continued gnat-like annoyance of Iran.

It continues to poke and prod, as if the bear will ignore and try to swat the pest away. But like the bear, Trump may lose patience and finally explode with a vengeance. And it will be too late to calm his resolve.

The IRGC taunts the US by insisting Iran has won the war, by planting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, and then claiming “foul” when the US destroys the boats, and now attacks Kuwait because that country hosts US assets. 

But the time is growing short for the IRGC and its goons. The ceasefire will soon come to an end at Iran’s peril. And world opinion has started to turn against Iran because it has denied its oil from those countries which critically rely on it.

The regime recently reopened its internet to the people. It hopes that by doing so, it can win the people over to its side. But it is probably too late. The economy is in disarray, the military is not getting paid, and inflation is out of control, making the cost of food, gas and other essential services, like heat and electricity, prohibitive.

Even patience, which is a virtue, can be worn out by those who persist in abnormal and inhumane behavior. Patience is finally lost when expectations for immediacy collides with reality.

The reality is that the IRGC will not budge from its unrealistic position of keeping it nuclear dust and control of the strait. And continuing the elimination of those who oppose their barbaric, demonic actions within the country.

The clock is at fifteen seconds to midnight. And Trump’s patience is approaching the terminal.

Be prepared for explosions to rock Iran soon.

Linking Taqiyyah to the IRGC

Don't believe them. Don't trust them.” - Captain Kirk, The Undiscovered Country

​It has been said before many times in this space that no agreement can be made with Iran unless the people can live in peace without fear from the torture and executions from the government. Anything short of this condition is only a continuation of the barbarism the people must live with.

And the words of the IRGC are meaningless anyway, as they have violated the essence of what has been agreed, as evidenced by the mining of the Hormuz Strait this past weekend.

Their word is meaningless. And their actions are delay tactics, hoping American and world public opinion will eventually grow favorably for Iran’s position.

President Trump will make a rare trip to Camp David on Wednesday to hold a cabinet meeting as peace talks with Iran near crunch time.

All members of the Cabinet are expected to attend. Officials will discuss “recent successes of the administration including economy and small business wins, Task Force to Eliminate Fraud highlights, and foreign policy updates,” according to a White House official.

But of course, Iran is likely to dominate the conversation after the US conducted overnight strikes on targets in the south of the country, followed by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei threatening American military bases in the Middle East.  

As well it should. Operation Epic Fury was initiated to have Iran give up its nuclear ambitions, and to date, with all of the “ceasefires” and “negotiations”, the IRGC and the regime have refused to concede on this point.

It seems Iran will continue to develop its nuclear capabilities even after any agreement is negotiated. 

Taqiyyah is an Islamic term used to disguise the true intent by the one who employs it. Generally, Shia Muslims are the most adept in this practice. And, is the majority of Muslims, including the IRGC, in Iran.

While Captain Kirk is, of course, a fictional character, speaking about fictional Klingons, the words still ring true. President Trump would by wise to heed the good Captain’s advice.

They have proven time and again over the last forty-seven years that their words are not their bond. And their actions carry greater weight than their souls. 

Unless the IRGC and this illegitimate, soulless regime is eliminated, the only guarantee will be the continued terrorist and barbaric abilities we have witnessed for years. Both inside and outside Iran.

The Solemnity of Memorial Day, 2026

​

Today, we begin our Unoffcial First Day of Summer. The temperatures have begun to warm, the trees and flowers are in full bloom, and we anticipate longer nights, with fire pits, great music and a ton of fun.

But before we crack open that first ice cold brew and grill that hot dog or burger, or whatever your culinary pleasure, we need to remember the importance, the solemnity of this day.

People died and many cried for them as they gave their lives for the joys of liberty and freedom we take for granted. It began to take shape in 1763, as the colonists slowly realized that their rights as British citizens were  slowly eroding.

In 1776, it came truly into focus when brave American patriots announced to the world that they were free men, no longer subject to the rules of a government across a vast ocean who cared nothing of their well-being.

In 1787 and 1788, these new Americans argued over every word of what would become the Sacred Document of the United States. And by 1861, the phrase “the United States are” was fought over for four years, where many died, until that phrase forevermore became “the United States is”.

By the beginning of the 20th century, Americans were beginning to live in a prosperous country, with many modern conveniences of the time, developing new and exciting lifestyles, only the rich could previously afford. And when WWI broke out, many American soldiers went to Europe to fight and die for democracy and freedom, in order to end “the War to End All Wars.”

And less than twenty-five years later, many more Americans would die in a war to bring liberty and freedom across the globe, in a noble cause to end fascism and Nazism which stripped many people of those liberties and freedoms.

But for the rest of the 20th Century and right through today in the 21st  century, Americans still die for the right to have others enjoy what we seem to take for granted. All over the world.

It is time for America, you know, the United States of America, to remember that the United States IS one nation under God, who has given much blood and treasure for the liberty, justice and freedom for all mankind. 

And to take a moment of silence to thank God Almighty and those who died for those American values, before we celebrate with that first ice cold beer, for the privilege of taking those values and rights for granted. Amen.

What Is Wrong With the I-Gen Generation?

​

What is going on with Gen Z and early Generation Alpha kids? Do they think they are invincible? Or immortal? 

Or do some of them have suicidal tendencies, which are immune to mood-changing effects? Like those found in Prozac or Ritalin?

Yesterday, a crazed gunman who believed he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver and opened fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was quickly taken down by a barrage of shots from the Secret Service.

Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 PM after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St Northwest. He only got off a few shots before he was shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers

He is just the latest in what is believed to be a generation of strung out kids who are seeking some sort of of life-defining recognition by taking a chance to assassinate President Trump.

This began with Thomas Crooks, who was 20 when he attempted ato assassinate Donald Trump in July, 2024. He was followed by Ryan Routh, a sixty-five year old man, who does not fit the group, tried to gain notoriety just two months later.

Then, in December, 2024, Luigi Mangione, now 28, allegedly killed Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Health Care in New York City. In September, 2025, Tyler Robinson, a twenty-three year old man, allegedly assassinated Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA founder, at a rally in Utah.

Austin Martin, 21, was killed when he attempted to breach Mar-a-lago in February, 2026. It is presumed that he thought the President was in attendance.

And in April, 2026, Cole Allen, 31, allegedly attempted to assassinate President Trump and others at the most recent White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

There were other notable shootings or murder attempts in the last three years, mostly by Gen Z or Alpha Gen people. But it is not exclusive to these groups. 

It is believed the zeitgeist of Gen Z has been largely shaped by, among other things, the Covid-19 pandemic, social media and demographic turns. The turbulence of the past decade has undercut, to a marked degree, their confidence in foundational American values of pluralism, civic participation, free enterprise and democracy. The generation feels a huge disconnect to American society as a whole.

Thus, the high prepondence of violence. But that generation is also the first to be exposed to a predominantly high-tech learning eenvironment, with the Internet, iPhones, iPads, iPods, and other tech screen time at their disposal. Hence the I-Gen group.

Perhaps, it is time to return to a day gone by, and remove the opportunity to learn from all this electronic media. It has desensitized their humanity.

And return to human, rather than digital interfacing, so that they maintain their social skills to deal with others. Even those with whom they disagree. 

Democrat Dirty Tricks to Compromise Democracy

​

The Democrat Party, at least in Brooklyn, if not in all of Nrw York State and the United States, has proven itself to be corrupt, and certainly will do anything to control the outcome of an election. Election interference in order to preserve its version of “democracy”. Hmmm?

Ghoulish Democratic bosses promoted a dead man as a candidate in southern Brooklyn while soliciting petition signatures to help get House Minority Leader Representative Hakeem Jeffries back on the ballot. Robert Gevertzman, a longtime  moderate Democrat community leader who died in March 2025 at the age of 76, shockingly cleared the petition-checking process, records show. 

Gevertzman is now slated to be below Jeffries on the Democratic ticket and run unopposed in next month’s primary for a seat on the Kings County Democratic Committee. The Democrat dirty tricks didn’t end with raising the dead, however.

Borough party leaders also deployed a one-armed man who was caught in a series of bizarre videos this week claiming longtime lefty operative Joey Cohen-Saban isn’t a Democrat to help him secure enough signatures to qualify for a third-party line and boost his candidacy in a tight race to unseat state Assembyman Michael Novakhov (R-Brooklyn).

Cohen-Saban, as the local Democratic district leader, along with Brooklyn Democratic Party Chairperson and state Assemblywoman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, are the main culprits in the alleged efforts to mislead voters, Novakhov and other borough Republican honchos contend.

But of course, the Democrat Party and its left-wing media goons continue to accuse Republicans to be “existential threats to democracy.”

They expect that people are either ignorant to this deceit or are woefully blinded by their own beliefs that Democrats would not stoop to this level of election malfeasance. But here is a bulletin for all of you: the Democrats will do ANYTHING to steal this or any other election.

And the Lame Stream Media acts like the party’s press agent. Just like TASS in Soviet Russia. For those of you who don’t know or don’t remember, TASS is registered as a Federal State Unitary Enterprise, owned by the Government of Russia.

Headquartered in Moscow, TASS has 70 offices in Russia and in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), as well as 68 bureaus around the world. CIS are the countries which made up the former Soviet Union.

So, the LSM, you know, companies like ABC, NBC, CNN, the New York Times and MS NOW, among others, are modern-day mirrors of TASS, the voice or press agents of “the Party”. 

They will ignore this blatant piracy of our elections and our government, and will only espouse the claims of the Demorat Party leaders like Schumer, Jeffries, AOC and other miscreants.

So as we move closer to the midterms, you can be assured of the Democrats' attempts to ìnfluence the primaries and the general election across the country. They have managed to create the playbook and use it already.

Unless we are diligent, they WILL succeed. With the cooperation Of the LSM.
