Nicholas Winton: Righteous Gentile

Nicholas Winton, rescuer of children during the Holocaust, has died at 106. To Jews he was known as the British Schindler.

He was credited with saving, through his personal initiative, the lives of at least 669 boys and girls. For decades after the war, he kept his work secret.”

He regretted FDR’s refusal to help: ““If America had only agreed to take them, too, I could have saved at least 2,000 more.”

But, in addition to being an anti-Semite, Roosevelt was a wartime admirer of “Uncle” Joe Stalin whose hatred for Zionists was second only to his hatred for the Nazis.

The begging intensifies

Not the street corner panhandlers for which Austin is infamous throughout Texas. No, I’m talking about the GOP pols running for president. They only had until midnight last night to meet a federal quarterly deadline for proving their candidacy’s financial viability and they were panicking. As I’m sure they will be next quarter as well.

Their begging emails were backed up by more emails from their wives and their supporters and on and on. I figure most of them already have more money than I do and so why should I dig into my pockets to pay for their ambitions? And it’s not just the Cruz, Rubio, Paul, Walker, Jindal and others who want my money. It’s the probable nominee Bush.

Bush, the GOP establishment’s understood, pre-primary anointed, whose family wealth certainly dwarfs mine. And whose father has a direct pipeline to Saudi money via his presidential library in College Station. I wouldn’t give you a nickle Jeb. Do it on your own or don’t do it at all.
