I understand why a blogger such as Failed Messiah (Scott Rosenberg) would burn out and seek a new direction in life. I’ve burned out on blogging several times, easing up for months at a time (but never entirely quitting) and then going in new directions. I’ve usually blogged primarily out of passion, and some of the time, the passion was simply gone.
About four years ago, a friend said to me: “Your blog is in danger of becoming irrelevant.”
I replied, “My blog became irrelevant many years ago.”
You are probably wondering what the future holds for “Failed Messiah”?
Who are the new owners?
We are a group of people dedicated to protecting the reputation of the Orthodox Jewish community.
A community that keeps to our tradition, and sets our standards high to protect the sanctity of G-d’s name. This can be accomplished in two ways.
Firstly, we will present articles and conversations that speak to what Hashem truly wants from us.
Secondly, we will continue to pursue and expose people that create a desecration of G-d’s name.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish Shmarya Rosenberg tremendous success on his new endeavor in combating poverty issues. We would also like to recognize his efforts in building up this web site.
While some may not agree with his approach, he was able to bring many taboo issues to the forefront of the community, particularly in the area of child abuse, forcing the community to address them. For this the community owes him a debt of gratitude.
Please rest assured that in the future, your confidentiality will be guarded and maintained.
Sincerely,
Diversified Holdings

How will you know your relationship is on solid ground? If she’s running after you, red-faced and trembling with love and yearning and desperation and desire and, yes, fear. The sexual polarity is aligned. The love amplified.
If you’re running after her, afraid to lose her love? You already have.
A good, if abstractedly imperfect, test of a woman’s love for you is to ask if she would she die for you. You can ask yourself this question, and if you’re honest you’ll know the answer.
Would she die for you?

I assure you that most Orthodox Jews do not fear Donald Trump and most of them will vote Trump in the general election. Left-wingers understandably hate Trump. Most American Jews are on the left.
But on the issues, some of Trump’s comments—particularly his proposed ban on Muslims entering the country—have sparked outrage among the state’s Jews. Fowler said that many of her Jewish friends “worry about the general sentiment of intolerance in the Republican campaign.” Rabbi Jason Kimelman-Block, who is closely following the New Hampshire race, including Jewish sentiment, from Washington as director of the Bend the Arc Jewish Action organization, said, “People are trying to hold candidates responsible for demonizing rhetoric, particularly Trump. Jews across the spectrum recognize Trump as a demagogue.”
Despite negative Jewish reaction to Trump’s statements on immigration, Israel and other subjects, some still expect that the small number of Jewish voters in the New Hampshire Republican primary will support him at the same rate as the rest of electorate. Geoffrey Skelley, a political analyst with Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball project at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said voter research suggests Jewish Republicans often vote the same way as non-Jewish GOP voters. Efforts to find this slice of New Hampshire’s small Republican Jewish electorate, however, came up empty.
Donald Trump not only lost Iowa, he also lost his rabbi.
Rabbi Bernhard Rosenberg, the founder and sole member of the Facebook group named “Rabbi for Trump” announced Tuesday he is closing the group.
“Ladies and gentlemen of Facebook: Rabbi For Trump will be closing down,” Rosenberg, a rabbi from Edison, New Jersey, announced. Rosenberg went on to accuse Trump’s campaign of ignoring Jewish supporters in the Republican primary race.
“It seems to me that representatives of his campaign don’t care about the Jewish vote. They think they can win without it,” he wrote, explaining that he had “pleaded” with the campaign to clarify Trump’s platform on Israel and express complete support for the Jewish state. “This has not happened and I doubt it will.”
Rosenberg had told the Forward last month that he wants the New York billionaire to make clear that if elected he will not support dividing Jerusalem into its Jewish and Palestinian areas. Rosenberg had hoped to get enough supporters on his Facebook page to force Trump’s advisers to meet and discuss the issue of Israel, but at the end of the day he remained the only member.
“I do not dislike Trump and wish him well, but I can not fight for him if I do not believe he fully supports Israel and the Jewish people,” he wrote, adding that he is considering other GOP candidates. “If the (Ted) Cruz or (Marco) Rubio people want my support, I will be happy to give it to them.”
So the rabbi’s critique is that Trump isn’t pandering to Jews enough? What does Israel have to do with America? Israel’s welfare is irrelevant to America’s well-being. It is not a vital strategic interest. Israel should be as relevant and important to America as Nigeria.
No foreign state should be given America’s unconditional support. Countries don’t have permanent alliances. Allies depend upon circumstances.

Ann Coulter writes: Any politician who claims to care about the drug overdose deaths sweeping the nation, but does not demand that we build a wall, deport illegal aliens and end the anchor baby scam, is a liar.
In 2014, more people died from drug overdoses than any year in U.S. history: 47,055. That’s more than die in car accidents—and it’s not even close.
The media and political class respond to this fact by asking themselves: How do we blame this on Americans—preferably white males?
Even as Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the head of Mexico’s largest drug cartel, is all over the news boasting, “I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world” (The New York Times, Jan. 10, 2016), we’re informed, Hey, don’t blame Mexicans! It’s America’s appetite for drugs that’s driving the narcotics trade!
Mexicans aren’t at fault for dumping these poisons on our country because … it’s the 14-year-old American kid’s fault for getting addicted! Hucksters of cigarettes, subprime mortgages and fake weight loss pills should try that argument. We’re just selling what Americans are buying!
About the time President Bush threw open our southern border—followed by Obama rolling out the welcome mat for illegal aliens—Mexico aggressively moved into the heroin business. In 2007, U.S. authorities seized 367 kilos of heroin on the Mexican border. In 2013, authorities seized 2,162 kilos. During that same time period, heroin use nearly doubled in the U.S.
As a result, in the last decade, half a million Americans have died from drug overdoses, mostly heroin and other opiates. That’s ten times more than the number of Americans who died fighting the entire Vietnam War.
Instead, pandering politicians give fiery speeches about drug addiction being a “disease.” However that may be, drug addiction is the only disease that you absolutely can’t catch if you never take drugs. (I also don’t see anyone getting rich by giving people the measles or pneumonia.)
As Donald Trump has said, the best way to avoid becoming addicted to drugs is never to start.
It’s harder to stay away from drugs when Mexico is flooding the country with them. But no politician—except Trump—would dare suggest that we keep the drugs out.
Marco Rubio thinks we need government programs to “teach students skills to avoid gangs, violence and drugs.”
Yes, it’s American kids’ fault. While we’re teaching them about drugs, how about a government program to teach people skills to not to give all their money to scammers like Bernie Madoff, instead of criminally prosecuting scam investment firms?
Chris Christie gives passionate speeches about drug addiction being a “disease” that “can happen to anyone,” before demanding that we “start treating people in this country, not jailing them.”
Why is the only choice: a) Blame the addict or b) Don’t blame the addict? How about option c) Blame the drug dealers? Oh I remember! We can’t blame the drug dealers because diversity is a strength!
Not one Republican presidential candidate, other than Trump, has any intention of going after the Mexican drug cartels operating freely in our country. Absolutely none but Trump would consider building a wall on our border. Only Trump has denounced the anchor baby racket. Did I mention that El Chapo’s kids are American anchor babies?
Instead, the other candidates twist and turn to find some way to blame Americans for the fact that the country is drowning in drugs—brought in by innocent Mexicans.
I’m sorry, but with 50,000 Americans dying every year from drug overdoses, could you put away your “racism” hobbyhorse for five minutes, New York Times? It’s stupid, it’s not helpful, and it’s not true.
The recent surge in heroin overdoses is hitting black and white Americans about equally. According to the CDC, heroin overdose deaths from 2013 to 2014 (the most recent years available) increased by 8 percent for non-Hispanic whites, and increased 8.2 percent for non-Hispanic blacks.
Curiously, heroin deaths of Hispanics increased by 0.0 percent. They aren’t the users; they’re the pushers.

* The more you think about what Trump says, the more unreasonable it is. Take the case in point: his calling for the crowd to batter anyone who lifts a tomato against him. That isn’t reasonable when you think about it; it’s reasonable only if you try to take it as a joke.
* When fans of the New York (Football) Giants shout, “Beat the crap out of Brady!”, they aren’t actually urging his murder or risking arrest for terroristic threatening.
* I think Trump should be concerned about the possibility of voter fraud in this election. In the case of Ron Paul, the “Establishment” did everything they could to make sure he didn’t win and I have no doubt voter fraud was a large part of that and that Paul actually did a lot better in reality than the so-called results showed.
I will admit, however, that I don’t know how a candidate can protect himself from voter fraud, particularly in the case of electronic voting.

Lisa Schiffren writes on FB: “I was really put off by Rubio’s Catholic schoolboy interjection about how there is only one savior and he is JC who came to earth and died for our sins, at the debate last week. Pandering. Not to be outdone, today Cruz went on at length about how his supporters need to lift the country up in prayer –(tolerable so far) and if they do enough of this it will revive the country and reanimate the body of Christ. Or something like that. Ugh. Just a little too much.
As a Jew, I am more than happy to elect a serious Protestant or Catholic to be commander in chief and POTUS. But you must confine your public speech to broad ecumenical evocations of God, morality, prayer and blessings. Anything beyond that will cost you credibility with more Americans than it can possibly be worth. You are not a preacher.
Cruz’s father is a preacher, so it’s part of his background. That’s fine. This is a political contest and he needs to understand what people do and don’t want to hear in politics. If he wants to conduct prayer services at the White House in Sundays — more power to him.”
Luke Ford: “Should Israel’s PM similarly confine himself to ecumenical evocations? Or is Jewish nationalism super duper but Christian nationalism inappropriate? The more divided a country, the weaker.”
Lisa Schiffren: “No Israeli PM would speak so piously, though he might make reference to universally known, by Jews, stories and scripture.”

Comment: The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, at jta.org, is not “intended for the private consumption of Jews.” Nor are most communal Jewish papers, which get by on advertising dollars. The Jewish Journal, which publishes more Stormfront-fodder than JTA, has (or at least had for many years) a Christian as its main religion columnist in hope of getting more non-Jewish readers.
I know at one point they were also considering ways to get more readers from LA’s Koreatown, which sounds strange and was understandably abandoned.
Comment: “Wayne Madsen, who broke the Dennis Hastert gay pedophile scandal story about 10 years before Hastert got caught, reports on Marco Rubio’s proclivities:”
REPORT: Republican insiders have reported to WMR that Florida Senator and presidential candidate Marco Rubio was, as a high school and college student, known to be a very extroverted homosexual in both South Beach in Miami, a popular gay area, and at college in Gainesville, Florida.
In 1989, a year before Rubio was arrested with his friend Angel Barrios and another unidentified male friend in Alice Wainwright Park in south Miami, ostensibly for drinking beer in a car after closing time in a park known as a pickup locale for gays, Rubio sang and danced in a South Miami High School troupe. The song and dance troupe was based on the Chippendales but with a very gay theme: half Chippendales and half Village People. Rubio omitted his participation in the dance troupe in his biography, “American Son.”
It is also significant that Rubio did not have the best parent models in growing up in Florida and Las Vegas. His Cuban parents, according to GOP insiders, did not emigrate from Cuba to escape Fidel Castro and Communism — they left Cuba for America in 1956 — but were Havana casino workers employed by Jewish mob boss Meyer Lansky and brought to Florida. From Miami, they eventually left for Las Vegas to work in mob-owned casino hotels. Rubio’s father, Mario Rubio Reina, worked as a bartender in Las Vegas casinos while his mother, Oriales Rubio, was a hotel maid. Rubio has falsely claimed that his parents fled Castro and Communism. In 1956, the U.S.-supported fascist dictator, Fulgencio Batista, was fully in control of Cuba.
After flunking out of Tarkeo College in Missouri, Rubio returned to Miami where he hung around with his old high school friend Barrios. Barrios started an on-line gay porn business called Flava Works, which is still in business today live streaming sexual acts between black and Latino men.

In order to prepare for the University of Florida, Rubio attended Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville. Republican sources have told WMR that Rubio, Barrios, and two other students shared a townhouse in Gainesville that was known locally as a “coke house,” where cocaine was readily available, as were almost non-stop parties in what amounted to an off-campus gay frat house. In 1987, Rubio’s brother-in-law, Orlando Cicilia, was busted by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for his role as a key figure in a cocaine smuggling ring in south Florida.
After graduating from the University of Florida, Rubio attended the University of Miami Law School. In 1995, Rubio claims he met his wife, Miami Dolphins cheerleader Jeanette Dousdebes at a “foam party” in South Beach. There is one thing wrong with Rubio’s story: foam parties in South Beach were almost exclusively gay events held at gay clubs like “Warsaw Ballroom” and “Amnesia,” the latter name befitting some of Rubio’s memories of his time in Miami. The following is a description of foam parties in a Miami New Times article by reporter Steven Almond, titled “Foam Sex,” published in the June 8, 1995 issue:
“The scene generally features several hundred scantily clad bodies packed onto a dance floor and writhing to bone-rattling music under strobes and colored lights. Nothing new, right? Until suds come gushing out of a machine suspended over the dance floor. As if on cue, various forms of passionate embrace begin. Kissing. Petting. Rubbing. Because the foam froths up waist high, it acts both as a lubricant and camouflage. Mutual masturbation is an occasional component, generally beneath the cover of foam. As the evening wears on, a few men pair off and sit together in the foam that builds up outside the partitioned-off area.”
Although he is obscured by the man in front of him, Marco Rubio [arrow pointing to him] is believed to be in this 1995 photo of a gay South Beach foam party held at the Warsaw Ballroom. Rubio claims he met his wife at one such foam party in 1995.
At “Amnesia,” emcee “Kitty Meow, a drag queen, would officiate over the foam parties, directing participants what to do. Some foam party participants only wore jock straps. It is entirely possible that Rubio did meet his future wife at a foam party, but the women who attended these functions were largely what are known as “fag hags” out to have a good time while at the same time avoid being hit on by the gay men.
Rubio, who has four children and claims to be a devout Christian, alternately attending Catholic and Baptist churches in south Florida, appears to have a not-so-secret past. There is a Spanish word that aptly describes the presidential hopeful: Cristiano afeminado or Christian homosexual.

* Because Rubio isn’t really running as “a Latino” (at least not in middle America) and Cruz isn’t running at all as one anywhere. It’s inconceivable, OTOH for a Latino Democrat to not wear his ethnic identity on his sleeve. Being a Democrat politician in the current year requires making a big show of one’s ethnic chauvinism (if considered an ethnic minority) or of one’s ethnic anti-chauvinism (if considered among the ethnic majority). This is because the GOP, at least on the surface, espouses universalist values that purportedly should appeal to all ethnic groups, whereas the Democrats are pretty explicitly the party of “white people suck, amirite”
* Again with the six-figure advances for a book by a nobody! First Obama, the colored kid protégé of the Pritzkers and Crowns. Now Rubio, the colored kid protégé of Brahman.
Is this the new way of laundering influence? Give the cute colored kid a six-figure advance on a worthless book to tide him over. Elect him. Then give him $200,000 a speech after he gets out (if he did good).
Rubio game is even better than Obama game.
Obama was a part-time law prof for UofC. A little sex appeal, not much.
Rubio is a Chippendale’s dancer and has the photos to prove it. That goes straight to voter girl gonads.
To Rubio if you are listening: my gal says you need to use a depilatory on your face to get the perfect boy-band look. Shoot some Putinesque muscle photos, too.

* In her excellent African Laughter, detailing her journeys through postwar Zimbabwe in the 1980s, Doris Lessing confirms this. Zimbabwean women, she said, do literally almost all the work.
I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe or Subsaharan Africa generally.
* I would suggest that a lot of this stems from Black men being sort of a “canary in the coal mine”; they are the last hired and first fired from traditional manual labor jobs. Thus, as those jobs go away because of 1) immigration; 2) mechanization; 3) feminization of the work place; men of the lower SES cohorts are drifting out of the traditional economy.
* Knowing women, is it really surprising that no matter what we do, it’s never good enough as far as feminists are concerned?
