After months of waiting, Steven Crowder and his crew have released what they purport to be a copy of the transgender Covenant school shooter's anti-white manifesto. Steven Crowder just released what he says is the Nashville shooter's manifesto. If true, it's even worse than I imagined. Ladies and gentlemen, stories like this have to be prefaced with a Jupiter sized "allegedly" up front, so understand that this news release from Steven Crowder hasn't been verified by anyone except Steven Crowder (and also, well, Alex Jones).

Okay, I have to admit when I saw this clip I thought SNL was back to being funny again.

On this date in 1793, Philippe Egalite was hoisted on his own petard. To hoist with one’s own petard actually has an older derivation, dating to siege warfare engineers whose primitive bombs, petards, were liable to detonate unexpectedly and gave their makers a “hoist.” Still, the phrase sounds like something that ought to come right out of the French Revolution, redolent (as are petards themselves: the explosive word is from the French “to fart”) of angry mobs hoisting aristocrats, as was their wont, up on pikestaffs and lampposts and … petards. Whatever those are. Philippe Egalite — the Duke of...

Israel is now fighting a war for survival. Israel has been in this same position for most of its 75-year existence. It hasn't been fighting that whole time, but the threat to its existence has been there for pretty much every minute of every day of every year since formation of the country. How, in the name of Heaven, can we spend so much press and opinion on what we "think" about that. How can we even imagine the Israeli leadership cares what we think. Israeli leadership probably cares what kind of support they are likely to get from our...
