The boycott will backfire: Predictions
💰💰💰
Mac Mart and Huda burger are going to have record setting weekends. (Tip there is a Huda in Fishtown)
Schlesinger’s will be packed all weekend long.
K’Far and Dizengoff are run by world class restauranteurs and won’t miss a beat.

The day before the Kristallnacht anniversary, three anti-Israel groups are organizing a boycott targeting Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia.
The organizers: Philly Writers Against the War on Gaza, Philly Bike On Your Left, and Boycott CookNSolo.
But this isn’t about Israel. Their targets include Jewish American-owned businesses, and their message is explicit: these businesses have “no place in our city.”
Don’t be fooled into thinking this bike ride is one off. This type of boycott is coordinated and they are coming after more people including 3 sisters who make Tahini. This is part of the BDS movement which used to target only large corporations, but they are coming for every jew
Statement from the Boycott CookNSolo Coalition in support of the autonomously organized Boycott Bike Ride:
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Nov. 8 Boycott Bike Ride targets Jewish-owned Philly restaurants; some owners deny Israel ties beyond Jewish identity. Eve of Kristallnacht anniversary. PA officials incl. Gov. Shapiro called it antisemitic intimidation.

As an American Jew I have the luxury of the 2nd Amendment.
Jews did not have that right in Nazi Germany.
The DSA thinks the 2nd amendment is a “threat to us all” and wants to remove guns from society.
Jews should all go get guns before it’s too late.

Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed gave his victory speech in Arabic last night. Rep. Ilhan Omar addressed her victory party in Somali.
And this morning, Iran's supreme leader posted that America's collapse "has accelerated."
What should we make of these acceptance speeches? @SulkinMaya

Last night is exactly why no President has dealt with Iran before now
We don't reward Presidents for acting in the best long-term interest of the country
We reward them for avoiding difficult decisions if it means we don't have to make any sacrifices during any given 2yr period
Counter protesting only amplifies the losers who are targeting these businesses on Friday with their bike stunt.
Makes these businesses stronger and eat there more than just this week. Keep going back.
Stronger businesses will anchor them in Rittenhouse Sq. That’s a better way
I lived in Rittenhouse Square for 23 years. This makes me Sad and Angry that my neighborhood has become the site of Zionist protests, spots specifically targeting Jews. These owners are my friends. This makes me angry that the ADL can’t actually do anything about it either.
This is absolutely vile. A group in Philadelphia is organizing a "Boycott Ride" to publicly target Jewish and Israeli-owned businesses, urging participants to “show these zio business owners that we see them for the disgusting humans they are.”
And when are they planning to do this? On the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht.
The timing alone should make your stomach turn.
This is antisemitism disguised as activism. It is Jew-hatred, plain and simple, and it should outrage every person of conscience.

I’m not surprised that the aid is ending. American defense companies will recover. The IDF was America’s defense research department, battle testing weapons and techniques taught in our military academies and used by the Joint Chiefs. .001% of our budget is 🥜 anyway.

“On day one, I will declare a state of emergency on antisemitism in New York City,” she told JNS. “I would make sure that in the attorney general’s office, we are directly prosecuting hate crimes. That is something that our current attorney general has never done.”

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.
You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.
Bro.
You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.
You live in a constitutional republic.
Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.
The modern left's definition of fascism:
You love your country? Fascist.
You want to enforce the border? Racist.
You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.
You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.
Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.
But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.
But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.
Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.
Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.
Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.
Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.
Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.
Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.
Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.
Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.
But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.
You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And they have you in the streets carrying their water.
The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.
No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.
Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.
During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.
But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.
The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.
Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.
That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.
Biden built a censorship machine.
Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."
They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...
Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.
And it doesn't stop at speech.
The extreme left justifies taking children from families.
Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.
The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.
Same playbook.
During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.
But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.
$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.
January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.
Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.
Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.
CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.
75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.
Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." They say.
Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.
One side talks. The other side screams.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched
Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. But Marxism.
500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs.
The signs were ready before you were even angry.
AND its all coming again .... if the left gain any power.
VOTE RED RED RED on November 3rd
Let’s keep electing the same people over and over, and doing the same thing over and over, and putting the same political appointees in the same position over and over.
The people who are in charge now are the people who will sell us a story how they will get us out of this.
Philadelphia is once again the poorest big city in the United States inquirer.com/news/philadelph…
I’m all for helping people with buying homes, but should the city risk tax payer $ on the exact same profile? This is a risk banks should take, not our government who is also borrowing $$$
“Serious delinquencies are rising for many first-time and low-credit FHA borrowers
The rate of delinquencies climbs higher when narrowing the analysis to just the Philadelphia metro area. bizjournals.com/philadelphia…
This is the creep that keeps taking screenshots of us all. Not surprising he’s one of the self hating Jews who indoctrinate children in the Philadelphia school district. Is this who we want teaching kids?

I wonder if the city’s new Rat czar will take a $500 bribe to let all the rats know that the exterminator is coming for them. Has anyone vetted this person yet for ties to rats?
Will Gross is definitely a capitalist. He’s charging $95 to teach latte art and espresso fundamentals.
This shop is a shame or his values are a sham. Not sure which is worse.
Developers have done more for the City of Philadelphia than any of these socialist moochers have ever done. Socialism is a disease and these fools will infect our city in ways that only our Russian citizens in NE Philly will understand.
I would suggest @PhillyMayor read Michael Lewis’s book the Big Short, specifically the part about NINJA loans.
Here’s a cliff notes version from the movie. Her mortgage plan is the definition of the law of unintended consequences. Bad idea

Of course the Mayor’s committee on Market Street is going to make the miraculous announcement that there should be residential housing on the vacant lots and the properties that Comcast now owns. Telegraphing the obvious just proves what a waste of time that planning group is.
