Showing not only a detailed knowledge of the items on display at "Made in America" week but what they represent, Michelle Malkin excoriates Bill Kristol's dismissiong of them as "Tchotchkes" and explains what that Yiddish term means. By the way, her concluding remark concerning Bill Kristol, calling him and his kind "schmendricks," means in Yiddish that they are pipsqueaks or non-entities.

Manufacturing Hate for 'Made in America'

It's "Made In America" week in Washington, D.C. You'd think this would be cause for bipartisan celebration. Who could be against highlighting the ingenuity, self-reliance and success of our nation's homegrown entrepreneurs and manufacturers?
Enter Bill Kristol.

The entrenched Beltway pundit ridiculed a festive kickoff event on Monday at the White House, where President Donald Trump hosted companies from all 50 states to showcased their American-made products.
"Maybe it's just me," killjoy Kristol tweeted, "but I find something off-putting about turning the White House into an exhibition hall for American tchotchkes." (That's the Yiddish word for useless trinkets).
"Tchotchkes"?

Read the whole thing.

I happened to once question Bill Kristol on a call in radio program on WABC in the 1990s. The left was all upset, clutching their pearls, about some half-baked claim that someone said something that could have been considered pro-Nazi or antisemitic. I pointed out to Kristol that I happened to see retired actress Myrna Loy on tv talking about her attending anti-Nazi rallies before the U.S. entered WWII and being criticized for it by her boss Louis B. Mayer of MGM. And I read from a quote a quote in the book "The Rest of Us" about the rise of Eastern European Jews in the U.S. which described the weak response of Hollywood to Nazism before WWII, my calling Hollywood a bunch of hypocrites. Kristol laughed either with or at my response and said nothing. Today, I could reference the recent book "Hollywood Traitors: Blacklisted Screenwriters, Agents of Stalin, Allies of Hitler" by Allan Ryskind, at large editor of Human Events. Ryskind's father was a conservative Jewish writer in Hollywood who was forced out of work. Hollywood studios were self-censoring and selling movies to Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

So Kristol is nothing more than the long time house token Jewish "conservative" of liberal/leftist organizations. He is a totally insipid non-entity.
