Judge Her Not

Let’s talk about what should be a success story. An Arab American woman, who was born in 1951 in a small town, Elmira, New York to parents of Lebanese descent. Someone who rose from a lower middle class family (her father sold mobile-homes, and her mother was a department store model), went to law school, where she was the editor of law review, and subsequently went on to become the first female judge in Westchester County, New York, and then the first female District Attorney in Westchester County. Sounds to me like an American success story . . . a prototypical rags to riches story due to hard work and perseverance. Why is her story not more widely known?

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind, the wind of the liberal media. For you see, from the left’s viewpoint, this woman has multiple strikes against her. She is Christian. She is conservative. She is Republican. And perhaps her biggest sin . . . she is an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump!

If you haven’t figured it out so far, I am talking about Judge Jeanine Pirro, who apparently has been suspended for two weeks from her weekend show on Fox. I say apparently because although Fox has not come out with a definitive statement, her show for the past two weekends has been replaced by a filler, basically about nothing. What was her offense? Those on the left accused her of disrespecting Rep. Ilhan Omar’s wearing of her hijab in a Judge Pirro’s opening statement, and Fox News then did the P.C. thing and is punishing her. Now I have watched her opening statement in its entirety twice from stem to stern. Did she mention Omar’s hijab? Most definitely! However, the context had to do with Sharia Law and its compatibility with the U.S. Constitution. The main focus of that week’s opening statement had to do with anti-semitism, and the cowardice of the Democrats in their refusal to call a spade, a spade, as Rep. Omar has clearly made repeated anti-Semitic comments. Yes, Pirro’s opening statement referred to Omar, but its main focus was on anti-semitism and the inept leadership of Nancy Pelosi, who appears to have lost control of her wish-washy Democratic colleagues.

Now let me be clear, Judge Jeanine will survive. She will not back down from her strongly opinionated positions. Yes, her show has lost some of its sponsors – most of whom I have never heard of! A friend of mine recently told me that, if you have a Smart T.V., that the shows you watch can be tabulated, so starting this coming weekend I am going to record Justice with Judge Jeanine, as my way of showing support for her calling out both Rep. Omar on her anti-semitism and also Speaker Pelosi on her reticence to support both Israel and the Jewish community in the U.S.  I would hope that all of you would do likewise and set your DVR to record Justice with Judge Jeanine, every weekend at least in the near future. Whether you actually watch the show is irrelevant, although I have found her opening monologue to be quite entertaining.,
