Happy New Year #5775 everyone.

For my friend who reads here and asked about Rosh Hashanah -

Hebrew: רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה‎, literally “head of the year”- is the Jewish New Year. The Biblical name for this holiday is Yom Teruah (Hebrew: יוֹם תְּרוּעָה‎, literally “day [of] shouting/raising a noise”) or the Feast of Trumpets. It is the first of the High Holy Days or יָמִים נוֹרָאִים Yamim Nora’im (“Days of Awe”) which usually occur in the early autumn of the Northern Hemisphere. Rosh Hashanah is a two-day celebration, which begins on the first day of Tishrei. The day is believed to be the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, and their first actions toward the realization of humanity’s role in God’s world. Rosh Hashanah customs include sounding the shofar (a hollowed-out ram’s horn) and eating symbolic foods such as apples dipped in honey to evoke a “sweet new year”.

ZL, glad to hear you are on the mend. My friend had thyroid surgery too. I wanted to share that, if in your healing process they’ve put you on synthroid, be aware it may take some time to get it adjusted properly to your body’s needs. My friend went through a terrible time with weight gain and such before her dosage was right. I want to say it took about a year to get it fine tuned. So hang in there. I wish you well and a quick mend.

Hmm, let’s see “Among the items found in Mr. Gonzalez’s vehicle in July was a mini-arsenal of 11 guns including two shotguns and four rifles, some equipped with scopes and bipods that a sniper would use and “a map of Washington, D.C., with writing and a line drawn to the White House,”

How can anyone not connect the dots? All those weapons and a line drawn to the White House? This is more than just a failure of the Secret Service. Law enforcement officials had every reasonable right to believe that this man was on a mission. This was not a tourist!

Virginia state officials should have taken this man into custody, and at the least, if his acts were not criminal, they were suspect and he should have been placed into some kind of supervisory or psychiatric program where he could have been rendered harmless.

The Secret Service, if notified should have also followed up to be certain the man was out of circulation and that he no longer had access to firearms. If this was a serious terrorist or other person with criminal intent and they were able to jump the fence and go through the White House doors then there’s a serious problem.

What if he had an explosive vest? There are too many failures of security and law enforcement at all levels. If this was a member of ISIS it would have been a tragedy.

If I were Obama I would be careful. It seems the Virginia state police aren’t concerned about the safety of the black man in the white house.

Gonzales was arrested in July in Virginia and charged with reckless driving, eluding police and possession of a sawed-off shotgun, but did he legally own the other weapons?

And why was he let out? Get caught with a marijuana joint or two and you can be sent to jail for several years. This guy had a car full of weapons, a map of the White House, and three serious charges against him, but they let him go?

How insane have we become?
