Fine Line
Joe Doakes, formerly of Como Park, emails: Isreal is bombing Iran. The Nimitz carrier group is being re-deployed. Questions are coming from all sides about the proper role of the United States in this conflict. I must confess I’ve been struggling lately to refine my personal ideology. On the one hand, I believe in…

Stuck On Stupid
After well over a week, the Administration is putting our money where it’s mouth is as re Hurricane Helene. Just kidding: It’s sending money to get Hezb’allah back on its feet.

Again.
It’s been a year since the Hamas-led massacre of 1,200 Israelis – the worst pogrom since World War 2. It’s a year that’s made me even more ashamed of America’s foreign policy than the previous 2.5 years of POTATUS and Harris had managed to do. But it tracks with the same I feel when I…

Out Of Their Depth
The BIden/Harris administration seems to be slowly figuring out something that most of the rest of the world knew last October 6: Hamas are evil people who don’t want a “deal”, except one that leaves them able to keep killing Jews. Not that it’s sitting well with them: And yet, in her disastrous interview the…

Squad: Scratch One
Jamaal Bowman, perhaps the dumbest member of a dumb “Squad”, is on his way to his non-profit reward: Progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., suffered a primary defeat Tuesday to a moderate challenger who was backed by pro-Israel groups, NBC News projected, following a bitter and expensive race that exposed the party’s divisions over the war…

Pogrom
There’s really no other word to describe what happened in Los Angeles on Sunday: Nothing small or isolated about it. I’m old enough to remember when Jews feared the right in America. But barely. This guy… …looks like a skinhead reliving his “glory days” from the ’80s. That the modern “Palestinian” movement allies with them…

Evidence
Normally I’d call this evidence that Joe Biden is the worst president of my life time, Foreign Policy division: Of course, that’s not quite true; Obama is still the president, in every way that matters. So Obama remains comfortably ahead of Jimmy Carter.

As Predicted
When President Potato promised, during his State of The Union address, to build a supply pier so the US could, er, “feed starving people in Gaza”, I’m sure my prediction at the time could have been seen as partisan and cynical. I’ve got the receipts right here. I could have just as easily worded it…

I Have To Figure…
…that at least some of the baby-boomers who protested against Vietnam have got to be looking at today’s mass of bobbleheaded students…: …and thinking “dial back the crazy, kids”?

A Tale Of Two Years
Leftists, 2020: “Punch a Nazi!” Leftists, 2024, being thwarted in their protests in support of actual modern-day Nazis [1]: “Heeeeeeey! No fair punching!” [1] In the “fascist dictatorship founded on racial obsession, focused on murdering Jews” sense of the term, rather than the “I’m a leftist and I don’t whatever it is” sense.

Short Drive From A Long Pier
Holy crap. US aid being supplied to Gaza via the potato’s “pier from nowhere…” …is being looted. Unexpectedly!

Not To Be Left Behind
Hamline University in Saint Paul is an exquisitely expensive instution that seems to be not quite as prestigious as Saint Thomas, and always a couple of degrees behind Macalester in terms of the impeccability of their leftist orientation. But they aren’t to be left behind. Here’s their “pro-Palestine” neo-Brownshirt “encampment”, as a rainy night ended…

I’ve Never Been Less Proud To Be An American
Believe me – the Biden Administration has kept on giving me moments; the Afghan debacle,, the Nurembadelphia speech; yapping about “shinkflation” of potato chips. But this may be the big daddy of them all. So far. Biden, as we noted yesterday, is playing pattycake with military supplies to Israel as it fights an existential war…

Dance With The Nebbish That Brung You
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: US put a hold on an ammunition shipment to Israel. The United States is now objectively supporting terrorism. Joe Doakes When you remember that: …it all starts to make sense.

Not My Better Self
Watching our “Best and Brightest” in action…: …I’m reminded of a coach we had in college. A famously blunt man, he would have likely looked at kids like this best/brightest and said “You’ve got a kind face. The kind of face I’d like to throw shit at”. Let’s just say it resonates. By the way…
-
A Modest But Emphatic Proposal
It’s high time we stopped calling Ivy Leaguers like this Columbia spokesbeing: …as “our best and brightest”. By the way – at “Mitch Berg University”, students who infringe other students rights – Jewish, conservative, liberal, communist, I don’t care – by depriving them of the use of the campus they pay to attend will be…

Your Periodic Reminder…
…that Ilhan Omar is a truly reprehensible person: But hey, if you live in CD5 [1], feel free to vote for her, whether you are pro-corruption, graft and antisemitism, or against it. [1] Or are buried within the borders of CD5

Lesson Learned
Israel has always had a paternalistic but pragmatic view of civilian firearms. As a general rule, they are opposed – but there’ve been exceptions. After a series of school massacres fifty years ago, they liberalized teacher carry in the kibbutzim – until they turned the job over to security (successfully, so far, where “success” doesn’t…

The Kristallnacht Theme Park
Harvard and MIT disgraced the nation’s “elite academia” last year. Columbia says “hold my kombucha”: Yep – progs standing in the door of the schoolhouse, trying to keep the race they hate out. Is a single Democrat office-holder or leader anywhere going to condemn this? “Columbia University’s Public Safety and the NYPD cannot guarantee Jewish…

Feature, Not A Bug
In the wake of three episodes of pro-Palestine protesters burning themselves to death, the sixties – the radical-chic version – called to tell the left of the 2020s to dial back the crazy: I mean, if “interests of power” = weeding out the most insane elements of the crowd that also wants to self-immolate Western…

I Love A Happy Ending
Hamas*holes in Florida try to block a road. Get dragged. Literally and figuratively. I want to send this video to the Minneapolis City Council, just to see if any of them retreat to a crying room…

The “Don’t” Doctrine Meets The “Just The Tip” Doctrine
Allegations in the Jerusalem Post: the Potato Administration knew that Iran was going to attack Israel over the weekend: The United States had contact with Iran through Swiss intermediaries both before and after Tehran’s mass drone and missile attack on Israeli territory overnight, a senior Biden administration official said on Sunday. The official declined to…

In Case You Didn’t Have Reason Enough To Be Nervous This Weekend
As Sergeant Esterhaus on HIll Street Blues used to say, be careful out there.

“Feckless And Craven”
It appears the Vegetable In Chief has browbeaten Netanyahu into letting Hamas live to rape, burn and mutilate another day: Very discouraging news out of Israel today that the IDF is pulling its forces out of southern Gaza, supposedly to “rest, regroup, and re-supply” after four months of hard fighting. Let us hope this is…

Literal
Exasperated conservatives sometimes refer to the media as “the enemy”. It’s understandable – the media at the editorial and national level is in general a PR firm for Big Left – and accurate in terms of long-term effect. But not since Walter Duranty has it been quite this literally true. Five Israeli families are suing…
