I confess: I had previously thought of Glenn Greenwald as a journalist and a strong advocate for Freedom of Speech and of the Press. I never knew that he was a raging anti-Semite.
Mr Greenwald tweeted:
What was this IDF soldier doing in the West Bank?
The journalist knew, of course, exactly whet the “IDF soldier” was doing in Samaria, because the CNN article he linked told him: Continue reading

It was that personal experience which drew me to this article, in Sunday’s Philadelphia Inquirer:
How Temple University failed my daughter on her first day of college
The Democrats used a picture of a smiling, robust-looking Joe Biden in their tweet proclaiming President Biden the winner of the debate, but their problem is that he was exposed as not robust, but a faltering and confused elderly man who is visibly sinking into dementia. Even The New York Times couldn’t hide the truth:
A Fumbling Performance, and a Panicking Party
President Biden’s shaky, halting debate performance has Democrats talking about replacing him on the ticket.
by Peter Baker | Thursday, June 27, 2024 | Updated: Friday, June 28, 2024 | 2:35 AM EDT
President Biden hoped to build fresh momentum for his re-election bid by agreeing to debate nearly two months before he is to be formally nominated. Instead, his halting and disjointed performance on Thursday night prompted a wave of panic among Democrats and reopened discussion of whether he should be the nominee at all.
Well, that was then, and this is now, slightly over two years later, and everything has been settled out. Millions of words have been written, including more than a few on this site, as well as Jake Tapper’s and Alex Thompson’s tell-nothing book claiming that they just didn’t know. Continue reading
To avoid copyright infringements, I like to use posts on Twitter as illustrations, because the fact that the original author has allowed them to be retweeted means that I can use the images! Well, this time, rather than using Twitter, I used the one I sent to Bluesky, just to pull the leftists’ chains, but yeah, I put it on Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — as well.
Transgender Canadian golfer sends a blunt message to critics as victories over women pile up
Alberta Golf’s 2025 policy requiring one year of hormone therapy opened the door for biological males to dominate

Biological female golfers in Alberta, Canada, are suddenly being pushed off the top of the leaderboards, but why? Continue reading
If there’s one thing our good friends on the left cannot stand, it’s an uppity, mouthy, attractive woman who doesn’t toe the liberal line. That’s a demographic problem for them, as even The Washington Post reported that “Conservatives really are better looking.”
Sophie Cunningham isn’t rejecting politics. She’s cashing in on them
by Howard Bryant | Sunday, August 2, 2026 | 5:00 AM EDT
Conservatives once demanded sports stay apolitical. Now they’ve embraced a new culture-war politics, and Sophie Cunningham has become one of its most valuable stars
Invoking a wounded innocence that their desire for sports to be simple, just like they used to be, conservatives for a decade and a half have dreaded the word “politics”. Now they cannot get enough.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has spent 40 years in the National Football League unknown except for his defensive schemes, but last week opened his press remarks mocking the congressional testimony of Dr Anthony Fauci, jokingly invoking the Fifth Amendment before taking questions. Apropos of nothing, President Trump publicly surmised that LeBron James might be a racist. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is now in the act, accepting the role as the right’s anti-Black, anti-transgender culture war ambassador, the role originally intended for Caitlin Clark.
BZZT! Wrong answer! At what point was either Miss Clark assigned, or Miss Cunningham accepted, “the right’s anti-Black” ambassador? Both ladies play in the WNBA, a league which has a significant number, and perhaps a majority of black athletes. Have either of those ladies said anything negative about black teammates or opponents based on their race? Continue reading
I worked at the University of Kentucky Hospital when I was in grad school, as a ward clerk. Fun enough job, but it was also a nowhere job. My wife worked there at the same time, as a nursing assistant, while she was in nursing school. If there’s anything I can tell you about hospitals, it’s that they have hundreds of employees: they are not all doctors and nurses, but pharmacy technicians, X-Ray techs, respiratory therapists, phlebotomists, housekeepers, cooks, dining room personnel, admissions employees, lab techs, and probably a dozen others which don’t come to mind at the moment.
And one other thing I can tell you about hospitals: all of those people gossip! If a doctor is f(ornicating) a nurse, it doesn’t stay a secret. If a ward clerk is having an affair with a nursing assistant, it isn’t long before knowledge of that spreads. If a pharmacy tech is homosexual but still closeted, it becomes common knowledge anyway. It’s not just consensual sex between single people; adultery happens!
So, it bugs me that there are so many conspiracy theorists out there pushing the notion that Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has died, but it’s being covered up. And while all of those links are from Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — our liberal friends on Bluesky are just as bad. Continue reading
We have frequently noted The Philadelphia Inquirer’s seemingly unqualified support for the city’s George Soros-sponsored — $1.7 million in 2017 and $1.2 million in 2021 — criminal-loving, police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, but even the Inky has been unable to avoid covering the news about Mr Krasner’s problems.
The newspaper said of Mr Krasner, in 2017:
Krasner says his defense work doesn’t make him soft on crime, but rather someone who can differentiate between redeemable defendants and hardened criminals.
Yet the District Attorney was upset that two police officers, in two separate cases, received lower sentences, even though it was conceded that they posed no future threats. Apparently Mr Krasner doesn’t see police officers as “redeemable defendants.”
Now there’s this:
DA’s office says two prosecutors who said Krasner told them to ‘protect the office’ in controversial case are ‘ill-informed’
On Thursday morning, the Editorial Board of The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote:
This board has long supported (District Attorney Larry) Krasner’s efforts to examine claims of wrongful convictions. But the board does not support cutting corners or lying to the court.
There is an assumption behind that short paragraph, an assumption that there are wrongful convictions. And while the Board do not support “cutting corners or lying to the court,” that very same Editorial Board headlined, on July 2nd, “Krasner isn’t perfect. The Pa. Supreme Court’s ruling on his exoneration push is worse. Ordering the state’s top prosecutor to oversee conviction reviews by Philadelphia’s district attorney is an unprecedented remedy that may create more problems than it solves.” What are we to conclude other than the Board is less concerned with not “cutting corners or lying to the court” than they are with freeing more convicted criminals?
It’s not as though some of the previously convicted murderers that Mr Krasner got freed didn’t go on to kill other people. Continue reading
At the moment, 2026 Democratic senatorial nominee Graham Platner of Maine — my mother’s home state — has been sucking up all of the news coverage, following the accusations by a fellow Democratic woman that he broke into her house and raped her. The Democrats were OK with his Totenkopf death head tattoo, with his cheating on his wife, with toxic social media posts, and his blatant anti-Semitism, but finally, finally! the Democrats are abandoning him. Subsequent to that, The Washington Post published complaints by a former girlfriend that Mr Platner covertly removed his condom, which she had required for consent to sex with him, and continued to f(ornicate) with her, something which is a crime, albeit only a civil offense, in Maine.
They shouldn’t be surprised. They loved the charismatic bad boy who promotes socialism and hates Jews, because many of today’s Democrats promote socialism and hate Jews, but the trouble with the bad boys is that you never really know when the next bad story will drop.
But I’ll let other people write about Mr Platner and his troubles. I am more concerned about 2026 Democratic senatorial nominee James Talarico of Texas. We have previously noted Mr Talarico, a seminarian with the Presbyterian Church USA. Mr Talarico pretends to be tells us that he is a devout Christian, but he supports prenatal infanticide, using the story of the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38) as a supposedly Christian argument for it, supports “trans children”, and The Advocate, a ‘magazine’ which supports homosexuality and transgenderism, has said the candidate “has positioned himself as a fierce queer ally, even using the Bible to advocate in favor of LGBTQ+ rights.” Continue reading
