I just finished a post about an anti-Semitic cartoon published in the international NY Times. But the left certainly isn’t stopping at anti-Semitism; Jews are just the proverbial canaries in the coal mine. You no doubt have noticed that Christians … Continue reading →
You think I exaggerate? Not much. Take a look for yourself: The cartoon, apparently by a Portuguese artist named Antonio Espresso, depicted a blind Donald Trump, resplendent in the kippah he wears at all times except when the cameras are … Continue reading →
Commenter “AesopFan” and some others have called my attention to this song parodist, Don Caron. Funny stuff. Unfortunately, it will take more than the Mueller report to drive a stake through collusion’s heart, and the obstruction vampire is alive and … Continue reading →

I don’t think Bernie Sanders did himself any political favors when he said that even the Boston marathon bomber should have the right to vote. What constituency is he appealing to, besides hardcore libertarians? It’s not that his argument lacks … Continue reading →
The consequences of the sexual revolution (remember that?) crossed with #MeToo can be rather ironic: Handshakes could be banned under new workplace rules to avoid expensive sexual harassment claims, an expert has said. Kate Palmer, an associate director of advisory … Continue reading →
