It is derived from … Continue reading would understand the facts. The tweet screencaptured on the right gives you the basics, and you can read the whole story […]
Perhaps my good friend Christine Flowers didn’t get to cancel these people herself, but it does show that while we all have our freedom of speech, other people have a freedom to listen, and some people might not like what you have to say! Harvard students scramble to take back support for letter attacking Israel […]
That The New York Times is unabashedly liberal is of no surprise to anyone, but at least the Gray Lady does cover the news. My normal first read of newspapers is The Philadelphia Inquirer, which showed exactly one story concerning the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, on the website main page. The Times […]

Is this biology? Some will argue that it is, some will argue that it isn’t. Especially with all the inter-breeding over time. Naturally, that got […]
