It's Passover, So It's Time For Matzah Brei

Since you can't eat leavened bread during Passover, and this morning I wanted a good breakfast, it was time to make Martzah Brei.  Think french toast but with matzah rather than bread.

First, you break up the sheets of matzah, 2 sheets per person or more if you're very hungry.

 Next, soak the broken up matzah in water for about 5-10 minutes until soft.

 

 Once the matzah has soaked, dump it into a strainer to drain the excess water. Beat one egg per sheet of matzah in the bowl very well as the matzah sits in the strainer. Then pour the matzah from the strainer back into the bowl onto the eggs and keep stirring until the egg is all absorbed.

Heat up a frying pan with some oil or butter (or both) and keep flipping the matzah until it is no longer soggy and gets nice and crunchy but nor burned.

 Serve with powdered sugar or maple syrup, or both.

 And enjoy a traditional Passover breakfast.

Layers Of Fact-Checking Excellence At The New York Times

The New York Times headline speaks volumes as to the lack of general knowledge of today's journalists:

Well that "North American Treaty Organization" is a NATO that truly Needs America To Operate.

Then again the actual NATO also Needs America To Operate.

Verily, as Ben Rhodes stated regarding journalists and whether they know anything:   “Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”

Ben, of course, used that lack of knowledge to manipulate the journalists to sell Obama's ridiculous and dangerous foreign policy - leading to much of the current troubles with Iran today. 

Indeed, the journalists of the New York Times know nothing and have forgotten nothing. 

Happy Passover To My Jewish Readers And A Wish For Good Friday And Easter To My Christian Readers

Happy Passover to my Jewish readers.  Two Seders later (one Wednesday night for the first night, and another yesterday for the second),  and we are well into celebrating Passover now.

With the attacks on Jews worldwide, including right here in West Bloomfield, this festival of freedom is even more meaningful today.

To my Christian readers, may you have a peaceful Good Friday and a happy Easter celebration. 

Yep, You’re Doing Just Great

The No Kings protest can indeed be described, to reference the Bard as “All sound and fury signifying nothing”.

We will note that America has not had a king since 1776, and still does not. So I suppose the progressives can go home and congratulate themselves on a job well done today.

After all, with the close of their latest tantrum, we still have no king. Nor do we have an Ayatollah nor dictators for that matter — but these same protesters rather support the ayatollahs and the dictatorship in Cuba now don’t they?

Anyway job well done yelling that we do not have a king. A great success, I’m sure, as we did not have a king before the protest nor during the protest, nor after. 

 

Senator Chris Murphy Says The Quiet Part Out Loud

Democrats are for illegal immigrants over Americans every darn time. Now they’re saying so out loud. 

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT): “The people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country.”

Amazing how the Democrats time and time again will butn this country down to stop immigration enforcement and prevent the removal of illegal aliens including murderers, rapists and scum, all to the detriment of American citizens.

It seems the Democrats took the saying dissolve the people and elect another as a how-to guide. 

 

Where All The Students Are Above Average

In the continued inflation of American education, it is now admitted that students are getting higher grades on their college entrance classes for less effort and knowledge.

Education Next: The Dumbing Down of Advanced Placement Tests

The College Board, the agency in charge of the AP program, admits its questions are easier and passing scores have been lowered on key tests like the English Language exam. They justify the easier tests as an adjustment to a less demanding curriculum in high school and lowered expectations by colleges and universities. In other words, AP is simply adapting to a broad decline in educational standards.

Or to simplify: Grade inflation comes to the AP college admission tests.

Meanwhile, education costs continue to outpace inflation with lesser results.

While prevailing wisdom is that throwing more money at a problem leads to better results, Mississippi now leads in reading scores with funding per pupil far below states with far higher per pupil spending. That is, of course, because the money spent per pupil wasn't actually reaching the pupils.

The increase in Mississippi were due not to more dollars thrown at the problem but to reforms that focused on real results.

It is more than past time to stop inflating grades and dumbing-down tests and instead focus on actual reforms in our public schools.  How about we stop just throwing money at administrators, bureaucrats, and teacher's unions and getting the same results and instead focus on reforms that work?

Maybe, as a modest suggestion, how about less DEI for kids and more learn to read for starters?

Bury That Lede There Detroit Free Press

The Detroit Free Press: Eid celebrated by thousands in Michigan as war abroad dampens mood

Thousands of Muslims across Michigan celebrated Friday, March 20, the Eid al-Fitr holiday, marking the end of Ramadan, a month of spiritual reflection and fasting marred by wars abroad this year that affected many in metro Detroit. 

Nice job Detroit Free Press on skipping right past the elephant in the article: three Islamic terrorist attacks in the United states during Ramadan, including one in metro Detroit a few short days ago. 

No mention at all of that rather important local event, that most certainly "affected many in metro Detroit" funny, that. 

Meanwhile, the 2026 Ramadan Hostility Scoreboard includes a worldwide total of at least 133 Islamic terrorist attacks with 499 people murdered in those terrorist attacks.

No other religion has quite the reputation and track record for annually going out and committing murder during their proclaimed holy days. 

Iran Lied Yet Again

Remember how Obama giving Iran billions under a deal that specifically not limit Iran's ballistic missile development? 

Remember how in addition to claiming they weren't developing nuclear weapons they swore their ballistic missile program was restricted to a  range of 2,000 km?  

Good times, those. 

Anyone actually believed them was a credulous idiot, because yet again, not surprising anyone who knows about the Iranian regime, they lied. 

They just launched two missiles at Diego Garcia, 4,000 km away.

While the two missiles failed to hit their targets, this is a their revealing a capability they had sworn they were not devleoping. 

Fox News: Trump proven right on Iran's long-range missile capability as regime targets US-UK base, experts say

This officially puts Iran into the Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile Club, and they now have missiles that can reach Paris, London and Berlin.  Hopefully that is a wake up call to European powers, and yet another reaosn to ensure the Mullahs do not remain in power.
