Left-wing rapper Macklemore has been embroiled in controversy this month for his virulently antisemitic antics on stage during the Ed Sheeran “Loop Tour,” actions which got him fired as Sheeran’s opening act. But the Seattle-based activist has a long history of unhinged, hate-filled behavior.

Macklemore has pledged $1 million from his earnings on Ed Sheeran’s tour to six aid groups supporting Palestinians, including three with Hamas and other terrorist ties, the Jerusalem-based watchdog NGO Monitor said Thursday, amid a public feud over the rapper’s ouster from the tour.

Defenders of Hamas will be forever remembered as terrorist-enablers. Countless protesters, academics, and street thugs are attacking Jews worldwide — beating, harassing, and in some cases murdering them — in defense of pure evil. They blame Israel, and by extension Jews, including Jews with no connection to Israel, for the deaths of Hamas fighters and Gazan civilians. It must be made clear that 100 percent of those killed in the war between Israel and Hamas are the direct responsibility of Hamas. Hamas caused each and every death. If Hamas-supporters can’t wrap their heads around that, they have no sense of...

TITLES AND POWER Now I see why powerful people often wear sunglasses--the spotlight blinds them to reality. They suffer from a delusion that power means something. They suffer from the misconception that titles make a difference. They are under the impression that earthly authority will make a heavenly difference. Can I prove my point? Take this quiz: * Name the last ten Heisman trophy winners. * Name the last ten winners of the Miss America contest. * Name eight people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize. * How about the last ten Academy Award winners for best...
