I had read about this sort of thing before – that the Biden administration is sanctioning Israelis for fairly trivial (and in many cases only alleged) abuses, in a manner that’s very different from the way it’s treating people in … Continue reading →
Israel is torn right now, but it was already torn before 10/7. The trauma of that day of massive carnage and the ensuing war resulted in a temporary and illusory unity, somewhat like the US experienced after 9/11. Now, in … Continue reading →
In 2020, the Democrats’ pretense was that Joe Biden was healthy and sharp, and that he was a nice-guy moderate. In 2024, the Democrats’ pretense is that Kamala Harris hasn’t been part of the Biden administration, and that she’s a … Continue reading →
Here’s an interesting piece by Robert Graboyes, who calls attention to this NY Times article from last February which discussed a poll taken at the end of 2023, in which 154 political scientists ranked the U.S. presidents in terms of … Continue reading →
