Sunday In NYC – A Reason For Hope

THE ABSENCE OF MAMDANI MADE A GREAT DAY GREATER:

Yesterday (Sunday, May 31, 2026) . . . I Spent a Good Amount of Time Watching the Israel Day Parade Live on a Fox New New York City Streaming Service on YouTube.

I Watched The Parade For Multiple Reasons.

1 – I Wanted To See-It.

2 – I Was Interested In The Overall Number Of People Who Would Attend.

3 – I Was Curious About The High-Profile People Who Would Be In The Parade.

4 – I Was Also Curious If There Would-Be Counter Demonstrators.

I Wanted To See The Israel Day Parade Because Of My Own Jewish Pride, Not that I think Jews should be More Proud of Ourselves than People of Other Faiths, Religions and Cultures, Who Should Be Proud Of Who They Are As Well.

I was Extremely Happy to See the Enormity of the Crowd, which Came Out to Show Ethnic Pride & Support for the Jewish People, who are Under Global Assault, Including in New York City, Which Is Governed Under A Communist, Islamic, Anti-Semitic Mayor (Mamdani).

IN CASE YOU DIDN’T SEE-IT . . . LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I SAW:

I Saw People In The Tens Of Thousands Marching On The Street (Fifth Avenue), Many of Whom were Middle Aged, but Many More who were Young, Representing Grade Schools, High Schools and even Universities.

I Saw Flags . . . Tons & Tons Of Flags – A Sea of Flags – Representing Israel and the Jewish People, Alongside a Comparable Sea of American Flags (Stars & Stripes), Both being Waved Proudly into the Wind by Jews who Were Proud to be Americans.

I Saw Smiling Faces. I Saw People who were Bursting with Joy to be in the Parade, and/or were Watching-It from the Sidelines.

I Heard Music, Singing, And Saw People Dancing On The Street And On The Floats.

I Heard Some Short Speeches Exalting America, Israel and the Freedoms they Give, which Guides us through the Torah, the Bible and the American Constitution.

ISRAEL’S NATIONAL ANTHEM IS CALLED “HATIKVAH” . . . THE HOPE:

In Spite Of Everything . . . Hope Is What I Saw & Heard All Along The Israel Day Parade Route.

WHAT I DIDN’T SEE OR HEAR . . .

I Didn’t See Pre-Manufactured Signs Filled With Graffiti, Foul Language, Threats Against Government Institutions, American or Otherwise.

I Didn’t See Or Hear Chants For Pro-Communism, Socialism or Purveyors of Terrorism . . . Local, Regional or International.

I Didn’t See The Promotion Of . . . Trans-People (Pseudo-Women With Dicks), Men who Compete Against Women, and the Right to Invade a Country Under the Auspices of “Undocumented” Immigration.

AT THE END OF THE DAY . . . I SAW THE BEST IN HUMANITY:

Yesterday . . . I Got An Email From The Conservative Party Of Canada . . . And It Started With . . .

FINAL NOTICE . . .

I Am Not A Man Of Great Financial Resources. Anne & I Do our Best to Maintain the Pleasant Lifestyle we Share, but I Don’t Have to Tell You . . . In This Economy, Especially in Canada . . . It Isn’t Easy.

We Give Thanks Daily, that we Eat Well, Have a Roof Over our Heads and a Warm Bed Upon Which to Sleep. We Give Thanks for our German Shepherd Dogs (The Boys), Who We Can Pamper With The Best Of Food, Treats & Toys.

We Take None Of The Above Lightly Or For Granted . . . We Are Truly Blessed.

Even With Our Good Fortune . . . Life is Ephemeral, and at the End of Every Month . . . we are Thrilled to Know that we Have just Broken-Even, but that Doesn’t Happen every Month . . . But So Far So Good, And That Can Change Too.

Anne & I Believe In Giving & Sharing . . . So We Do, in the Belief that Doing Otherwise Would Steal some of our Humanity . . . But We Only Have So Much To Give, and there are No Shortages of People, Groups & Institutions, Which Have Their Hands-Out.

Anne & I Also Believe . . . that we Have to Be in the Game if we Want to Play, Which Includes Politics. So for Anne & Myself, to be Able to Voice an Earned Opinion, we Have Been Members of the Conservative Party of Canada for Several Cycles, and Every Now & Then, when we can Afford to Give Several Dollars to the Conservative Party, We Do – in Addition to the Money we Spend on Other Worthwhile Social Interests.

I Don’t Have To Tell You . . . Money Is Tight, and there is just so Much to Go Around. But We Still Give, Just More Judicially Than Years Ago, which Hasn’t Stopped the Conservative Party of Canada from Asking Me for Money . . . Almost Daily With Every Email They Send.

At First It Was Friendly Requests, since I’ve Donated in the Past. Then it Became a Need if I Wanted the Conservative Party to Succeed Against Carney, as if My Donation will Make the Difference. Then it became Deadlines of Must and a Guilt Trip . . . To The Email I Just Received – That Read . . . Final Notice.

I Have A Word Of Final Notice For The Conservative Party Of Canada, for Being so Callous, Rude, Insulting, Unappreciative for What they Have Already Received from Me . . . And An Attitude Just Shy Of Coercion.

The Next Conservative Party Email I Receive, Regardless of the Message, even if it Doesn’t Hustle Me for Money . . . Where it says Unsubscribe . . . Guess What I’m Going To Do?

No One Owes Me Anything. And I Certainly Don’t Owe Anyone A Freebie. And More to the Point, the Last thing I would Want to Do . . .  is Lay a Guilt Trip on Anyone for Not Giving to me What I Didn’t Earn & Don’t Deserve.

THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY WOULD DO WELL TO TAKE MY LEAD:

I Ask For Support Just One Day Per Month With The Caveat . . . If You Can’t Afford Don’t Support.

Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov
