Pam Grier claims she had to “close her eyes as a kid in Ohio” just to avoid seeing all the black people being hung on trees. A quick Google search shows that Pam Grier was born in 1949 and the last lynching to happen in Ohio, was in 1911. She’s a liar.











I don’t agree with conservative columnist David French all that often, but I totally agree with his piece today on James Talarico. Here are a few excerpts: __________ Yet if the primary American divide is between decent and indecent, then the equation changes. Talarico shines. Or, to put it another way, Talarico is one of the few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian, and by acting like a Christian he reveals a profound contrast with so many members of the MAGA Christian movement that’s dominated American political life for 10 years. . . . . . . This miserable political moment won’t end when the left takes back the government from the right or if the right continues to beat the left. It will end when our politicians — especially Christian politicians — forsake cruelty for compassion and realize that we shall know Christians in politics not by their stridency and ideology, but by their integrity and love, including their love for, as Talarico put it, “all of our neighbors.” That’s the significance of the Talarico moment — not the old news that a Christian can be progressive, but rather that Christian politicians can actually act like Christians. Kindness still has a place in the public square, even if it doesn’t always seem that way.
