Four Birthdays and a Funeral (I)
Birthday 1: Leave conservative Americans Alone!
I decided on a journey with this first of five episodes in a “Four Birthdays and a Funeral” chapter. They involve conservatives, minorities, celebrities, and executives in America. They also have something to do with mothers, fathers, and dogs. The purpose: We are in the wake of another political campaign season. So we have to be conscious and inclusive as well as critical.
In 2010, “Politically Correct” was running supreme in America. No one was paying much attention to this insidious Globalist intrigue. It was out there to thwart the fundamental family structure. No sooner, LGBT was completely out of closet. Conservative Americans went in their place instead. What is worse, they did it with no resistance.
It was dangerously reminiscent.
ISRAEL IS A GOOD MEASURING STICK
I believe America shortchanged conservatives for a long time. On the other hand, it is also important to note that American Conservatives also have a shortcoming.
It is a dilemma well exposed everytime Israel comes into crosshair. Everyone blames American Conservatives when a radical right regime comes to power in Israel.
In reality, something is a miss. The long dominant literature in America in fact is to blame. Conservatives are first lured and then blamed for trying to do the right thing.
The abuse of American Conservatives was at its height in the 2016 presidential election campaign. It was unfair and uncalled for behavior against them.
I registered to the Republican Party in the nick of time in 2015. I ran for Mayor in Palm Springs. So I got my share of this abuse. Did I deserve it? Of course not.
I was then, as I am now, an American as much as an Apple Pie. So have been my friends at that lunch table that day when we enjoyed a moment of birthday celebration.
Four Birthdays and a Funeral
Malibu & Two Great American Entertainers
Daphne (Barak) invited two great American entertainers for a late lunch in Malibu. We went to Nobu. The topic was the “Trump vs Hollywood” documentary we were planning to shoot. We were there to explore if they would like to become part of it.
They did not. They were right. The abuse was rampant. They were the two most well recognized names. Plus, they were outspoken. As a result, they were at the crosshair of everything Globalist and their mother in law.
Jon Voight and RoseAnne Barr simply guided us to look and find other conservatives. Not until then not many were yet to be out of that closet. So we helped them get out.
Also, we reached out to the Democrats and Liberals as well. At the end, they had a chance to have a peek into that closet where Republicans were hiding all along.
Jon Voight
When we first ever met Jon we talked about Israel. We still talk about Israel. When I say we, I mean Jon and I. We are neither an Israeli nor a Jew, unlike Daphne Barak. She is supposed to be both and she is. However, she is also a lot more than that.
The difference between Jon and I is that he as a real American Conservative. He supports Israel unconditionally. I support Israel half and half. Simply because I believe American Conservatives are misled and then blamed for doing the right thing.
RoseAnne Barr
Did you know that she is a Rabbi? She must have been more of an Israeli and a Jew than all four of us combined at that table. Plus, she is a lot of fun. After all that is why she has been considered one of the greatest American entertainers of all times.
However, since she has conservative outlook to life she is also shunned. Did RoseAnne cross the line once or twice? She may have more often than not. Considering the nature of the beast, as a comedian, she is sure to step on toes.
Leave conservative Americans Alone!
No offense by a conservative American is enough to hang anyone. I have seen enough offensive behaviors fom both sides of America ever since we became politically active.
Daphne and I were the first two that supported Donald J. Trump when he announced on 15 June 2015. We were his committed delegates in 2016 and 2020, with no qualm.
Now, in this primary campaign season, we are on board with yet another, equally underdog. However, this time he is a Democrat. So what is more American than this?
In the meantime, we still remain financially and otherwise conservative Americans. Yet, we are no less conscious, inclusive but also crtical at the same time.
We are open minded, first.

Trump vs Hollywood: The Two White Houses
When our long lunch was over, my birthday presents were much appreciated, but company was great. What could have been better than with these three at the table?
A year later, it was also all-good when we released “Trump vs Hollywood”. You Tube hit with nearly 100 thousand visits in the first hours. Now available on Vimeo!
As for the cast, we were able to find twelve more conservative Americans to join us in the journey. The rest of the twenty four? Liberal Democrats & rappers of all people!
In short, we learned more about the grievances of conservative Americans. Their abuse in the hands of liberal Democrats was no less in this bitterly divided America.
So much so that we also changed the name of the documentary three weeks after it was released. That is on November 4, 2020, the day after the presidential election.
Now, the name “Trump vs Hollywood: The Two White Houses” was right. My father, who was 90 at the time, concurred. He too had seen enough of this Globalist mockery.
Struggling For One America
In 2021, Daphne and I published our co-authored: “Struggling For One America: The Two White Houses” book, as a follow up.
In 2023, America is still struggling. However, it is also rigidly divided. For a lot of people, “The Two White Houses” have long become the new reality.
Unfortunately, Joe Biden does not represent much of American Conservatives. On that note, from the latest polls, he does not represent enough Democrats either.
So much so, maybe that’s why Bobby Kennedy, RFK Jr., is surging as a credible alternative. He is younger, moderate, and an anti-Globalist Democrat.
Yet, the first thing is first. There is the task to bring all Republicans out of closet and make sure that no one goes in there, to replace them this time.
