The Founding Fathers were too busy worrying about the "Papists" to worry about the "Mohammedans"

The horrible thing about is that OF COURSE the government SHOULD BE supporting parents with kids who have special needs. But without tactitly forcing those parents to admit that they caused their kids' disabilities by vaccinations. How ghoulish.

I will admit I am not rooting for Cal Raleigh to surpass Aaron Judge's 62

Bearing a cross on wheels is a great metaphor for Christian oppression

In 2025, Nixon would have just tweeted an order to the FBI to not investigate the Watergate break-in.

This year's Yankees season will always have a "what if" asterisk. If only Gerrit Cole had been healthy and pitching.

I got as far as "billionaire preachers"

They are literally canceling culture

had a conversation with a prominent pundit recently who did not seem to realize that the departments of the executive branch are congressional creations, so not surprised at this

"expedited" plans

This picture just barely begins to capture how much FUN it was to meet and interview @mollyjongfast.bsky.social last Thursday at The Hampton Synagogue!

Ambassador Ghislaine Maxwell You heard it here first

If this is true, the EPA should be regulating tariffs www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/c...

I think I am more excited than nervous for this book talk, but there are definitely elements of both! Looking forward to welcoming @mollyjongfast.bsky.social to The Hampton Synagogue! If you're in the area, join us!!

Brilliant piece by @amandamarcotte.bsky.social, and the movie must hit so close to home. According to Lex Luthor, Superman was sent to dominate Earth, including building a harem to perpetuate his alien DNA. In other words, the Great Replacement Theory on cosmic scale. www.salon.com/2025/07/21/m...

Shiva asar b'Tammuz is the yahrtzeit of Prof. Mark A. R. Kleiman. I used to re-up my story about him on Twitter every year, but I'm not there and the story is probably gone. He was very much larger than life, and his work, which I encountered almost 15 years ago, continues to shape how I think.

Israel should probably take notice re: the Netanyahu trial

You don't even have to say that the cuts to NOAA and FEMA directly led to deaths and damage in Texas to say that the floods are a clear demonstration of why such cuts to disaster preparedness and response are a bad idea.

Huh.

If he doesn't know that "globalists" means "Jews," why would anyone expect him to know that "Shylocks" means "Jews?" Alternatively: he very well knows that "globalists" and "Shylocks" both mean Jews, just the left-wing Jews he doesn't like.

Instead of starting new political parties, Elon Musk should be paying damages to Texas families affected by DOGE - and begging for their forgiveness.

If Mamdani is responsible to take into account the connotation of "intifada," surely Trump should apologize for actually using "Shylock."

No, he is perfectly aware.

At this rate, with a public execution

here's what a Gillibrand source says about the phone call the senator had with Mamdani last night, following the backlash to her comments about him last week:

somehow one of the most underrated facts in american politics is that trump is a republican who does republican stuff www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/o...

The most significant achievement of the Bush administration was PEPFAR. By contrast, the worst thing Donald Trump will ever do in his entire life was installing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. at HHS. It is unfathomable to imagine the number of lives that decision will needlessly cost around the world.

Like two kids in a schoolyard

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

I can second this motion

As Luke Skywalker would say, every word of this turned out to be wrong

If you're around Westhampton Beach next Thursday evening, come hear me talk to @emilynussbaum.bsky.social!

I wonder if Joe Crowley is endorsing Andrew Cuomo

i almost can’t read this it makes me so angry. delusional grifters with purity fetishes and eugenic worldviews have brought pain, suffering and death to children www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

The Ayatollah’s biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.

Usually this means "left-wing Jews"

How To Lose Your Mother by @mollyjongfast.bsky.social is a really, really good read - and I am *SO* looking forward to talking to her about it on stage at The Hampton Synagogue this July!

This may be true, but after men kill each other with swords, as is their natural state, they are dead.

So Trump is saying he was OK with his top advisor doing Nazi salutes at inauguration celebrations, and Musk is saying he was OK supporting a President he knew was in cahoots with a pedophile and predator.

When the 2215 version of Lin-Manuel Miranda writes Trump The Musical, the rap battles are going to be incredible

After internal negotiation, our departments have agreed to rename the USS Harvey Milk the USS Harvey Raw Milk. by Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

The more this year's Yankees season goes on, the more devastated I am that Gerrit Cole is out for the year. Can you even imagine?

i love these knicks and i’m not mad at them

What a sentence www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Ben Shapiro could have supported the candidate who took the position for which Ben Shapiro seems to be advocating.

If everything is satire, then nothing is satire. BUT if nothing is satire, then is everything satire?

Does anyone still have any "questions?" www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Watching so-called progressive Christian "influencers" and preachers use AI stealing the work of scholars and literary writers is so intellectually dishonest that I have no words to describe my rage. If you are a liberal Christian, your entire tradition is built on academic credibility.

White House preparing to blame itself for continued decline in Americans' life expectancy?

Ominous
