Sustainable Calm Is Like Ultra-processed Food, Pace Chuck Schumer
Brokers of a truce between
the Israelis
and Hamas terrorists did not seek what’s
completely unattainable,
plans for a peace between the Jews and
genocidal jailees
who’ve not yet been imprisoned to achieve a calm
that is sustainable.
Such a calm will not sustain the lives
of the opponents
better than can UPT, the acronym for food
that’s ultra-processed,
unwillingness to coexist with Jews the commonest
of the components
preventing peace despite the prayers for it which are
jihadically professed.
Until all Hamas leaders are locked inside
a Jewish jail
calm will not be sustainable, and failing, cause
both sides to fail.
Peace-processed food which, though goal of a peace that’s
merely minimal,
may be what Jews must live with to preserve friends’ friendship….
we can’t win ‘em all.
The Jewish Democratic leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, was less calm than the gentile leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries. In “With Trump Unbound, It’s a Tale of Two Strategies for Democrats in Congress,” NYT, 1/31/25, Annie Karni writes:
As President Trump pursued his strategy of “flooding the zone” this week with sweeping and legally dubious actions to reshape the government, Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, responded by unleashing a media fire hose of his own.
After the administration’s directive to temporarily freeze trillions of dollars of federal spending, Mr. Schumer went on something close to a two-a-day diet of news conferences, supplemented by speeches on the Senate floor (he delivered eight), videos recorded for social media and news releases. And even so, frustrated Democratic governors pressed him to do much more.
In the House, the other Democratic leader, Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, took a different approach. Always careful and calculating, Mr. Jeffries seemed to be channeling his longstanding personal motto, “Calm is an intentional decision.”
