My friend Jessica’ letter to the weekly Croton paper
I wonder how many of the student protestors know what continent Israel is on? Or when they chant "From the River to the Sea" they know which river and which sea? It's in the Hamas founding documents – all Jews must be killed. To the Editor, The severity of the anti-Israel and pro-Hamas incidents…

“Harvard Bans ‘Cisheterosexism’ but Shrugs at Antisemitism”
Oped in the WSJ by Congresswoman Elise Stefanik – who drew out the absurdity of the Ivy League Presidents a few days ago Harvard's President can't say If 'Calling For The Genocide Of Jews Violates Harvard's Rules' .

The Chosen: “Woman with the issue of blood” cured by her faith. Brilliant!
This excerpt from The Chosen just went up on youtube. Just to give the setting, Jesus is on his way to see (and revive) the daughter of the synagogue official. This is in all three of the synoptic gospels (Mark, Luke and Matthew). There is some artistic license taken in this excerpt as earlier she…

Joe Manchin, last pro-life Democrat Senator will not run for re-election
Manchin had also been the Governor of West Virginia and had won his Senate elections easily, despite coming from a generally Republican state. He was a sensible guy – a loss to the Senate. He would have been 77 years old when he'd be running next year but is in good shape. Senator Joe Manchin,…
