A reminder that, no, the president (for that matter, the government) cannot strip a natural born citizen of her citizenship. That said, if this renegade SCOTUS wants to change the clear letter of the law, I can think of at least 3, maybe 5, justices the next president might consider denaturalizing.

“If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

Definitely a first in American Jewish history. Previous presidents might have thought it, but they never said jt.

With Zionism bleeding support on both the left and right, an historical consideration of the Rise and Fall of Christian Zionism, a once-powerful component of evangelical eschatology. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Fascinating story of Soviet bloc spies who embedded themselves so deftly that they essentially became American. Phillip Jennings, but for real. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

One of the greats. We learn in school that the Founding Fathers were men of the 18th century. The founders were also men and women of the Reconstruction and Civil Rights eras. And this founding father put his life on the line time and again to build and improve this democracy. A true giant.

To folks supporting and promoting Graham Platner: would you support a candidate who openly wears a Klan hood and robe and makes guest appearances on white supremacist podcasts? Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I assume not. So why him? The key takeaway seems: "Eat it, Jewish Dems, and shut up."

I occasionally check my old account on the other site just to see what’s going on. Morbid curiosity, rubber-necking. Guess what? It’s rife with antisemitic trash. Guess where it’s coming from? Not the MAGA right. 99% of it is from the “progressives.” With friends like that…

It took a certain kind of stupid for the House GOP to think compelling Hillary Clinton to testify would help, not hurt. A party rife with sex predators, pedophiles and dimwits was going to outsmart one of the smartest people in public life? When it’s Wile E Cayote v the anvil, bet on the anvil.

We’ve had more snow this week than any president in history. Nobody’s ever seen snow like this. Beautiful snow. We love to say the word snow, don’t we? It’s covering the sidewalks, closing the schools, tremendous traffic — really incredible. Under Sleepy Joe? No snow. Very low-energy weather. Sad.

When Joe Biden was president, it didn’t snow every day. It didn’t snow and leave 3” right after you finished shoveling the last batch. There’s cause, then there’s correlation, I know. Just saying.
