The anti-Israel movement on campus has targeted not just Hillels but kosher restaurants and Chabad Houses and synagogues—there is no real attempt anymore to hide their true mission, which is to target Jews simply for being Jews. @SethAMandel commentary.org/seth-mandel/th…

@GoodmanHoops Not at all! Jaylen has been a leader all year. He gets better each year. Giannis gets injured too much. And our late 1st round picks have been an integral part of the team this year. Stop throwing Jaylen's name around.

Celtics fans: Would you do this trade? Jaylen Brown plus 2026 and 2027 first-round picks for Giannis? Also: The late first-rounders carry even less value with so many of those guys going back to college this year.

Out of every disgusting, dishonest piece of filth the mainstream media has produced about Hurricane Helene... This is the worst. 60 Minutes has NEVER done a story on the families FEMA denied. They NEVER mentioned the Amish, who are STILL in the mountains rebuilding homes 550 days later. They NEVER mentioned Jake Jarvis, who has worked 550 days STRAIGHT FOR FREE for Hurricane Helene victims. Instead, they dug up some fringe conspiracy angle to smear the people who actually showed up as White Nationalists. I'm so angry. Let me tell you what 60 Minutes will NEVER report on I was there. I lived it. I am still here. I shared every story I could find. Me, my wife, hundreds of volunteers delivered RVs to mothers holding babies who were sleeping in TOOL SHEDS AND TENTS in the freezing cold, in the mountains. Because their homes had been ripped off the side of a mountain and washed down the French Broad. So tell me 60 Minutes... WHERE WAS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? Tell me, WHY did all these volunteers NEED to show up? Any thoughts on that?!!!!! Any investigation AT ALL into the federal or state government's response to Hurricane Helene? Please tell me... if the federal government was doing such a GREAT JOB, why did we need to put victims in RVs... ...A MONTH AFTER THE HURRICANE?!!!!!!! Literally every single victim you talk to in Western North Carolina has a horror story about dealing with FEMA... ...and guess who they will all say actually cam through for them? Neighbors. Church groups. The Amish. The Cajun Navy. Shawn Hendricks. Samaritan's Purse. MercuryOne. The Mission Mules hauling insulin up washed-out roads, ONLY ACCESSIBLE by mules. Greg Biffle burning his own fuel in helicopters. Veterans like Adam Smith who organized helicopter rescues with other veterans BY HIMSELF and then was demonized by the media for it. Volunteers like Jake Jarvis working TO THIS DAY, 550 days later without ANY PAY AT ALL. THOSE ARE THE STORIES FROM HURRICANE HELENE WORTH TELLING. But 60 Minutes won't tell ANY OF THEM. Because the truth makes the federal government the villain and the "deplorables" are actually the heroes in this story and they can NEVER admit that. So instead they smeared the rescuers as white nationalists. This is unforgivable. I was there. I saw it with my own eyes. And I will BE DAMNED if I let CBS rewrite the history of what happened to my mountains.

@BBCSport framed the viral Israel-Palestine handshake snub as a mutual "failure to communicate." What they are hiding is that the handshake didn't fail. It was unilaterally rebuffed by a man the BBC refused to identify. Here's what they aren't telling you about Jibril Rajoub: ▪️He was sanctioned by FIFA in 2018 for inciting hatred and violence. ▪️His own delegation admitted he was the party who refused the handshake. ▪️The Israeli official he snubbed, Basem Suliman, is an Arab Israeli—a fact the BBC suppressed to protect the "obstructionist Israel" narrative. BBC Sport chose to promote the false notion that FIFA President Gianni Infantino failed “to convince” both representatives “to shake hands” rather than telling the real story of a Palestinian representative who refused to acknowledge his Israeli counterpart. The question is why?

I know the goal of this stupid post is for us to bend over backwards to prove you’re wrong, but I’ll still bite. Here is just one example: an annual business expo by Hasidic Jews in New York. This one in particular is a construction show where hundreds of contractors, plumbers, electricians, and other hardworking, heavy-duty businesses exhibit for thousands of participants. There are annual healthcare, construction, real estate, and other business expos as well… but hey, you do you.

Excellent response to Sir Tony Brenton ..

The Platner tattoo story isn’t about Platner. It's about the people who spent years calling everyone on the Right a Nazi for the slightest association, only to line up like rank-and-file partisans behind a Democratic Senate candidate who wore a literal SS Totenkopf tattoo for 18 years. It's a story about how years and years of moral indignation from the Very Serious People™ class proved to be a paper-thin veneer over your team jerseys.

Some people in Gaza got rich from the war by looting and hoarding? That’s so interesting. Which people? Are they part of an organized group? How did they manage to loot and hoard, do they have arms? Wow so interesting.

Wow. It's all so depressing.

These kids came up with a unique performance for their school Talent Show doing Synchronized “Air Swimming!”

It's a great book!

If Jews everywhere are held accountable for Israel, why aren’t Muslims everywhere held accountable for Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia or Syria? Would love to hear some truths from you all.

A statement from Graham Platner's former campaign manager, Genevieve McDonald. 👇🏾

Crime and Punishment isn't about a single murder, but the *idea* that can justify murdering millions. Raskolnikov famously kills a predatory pawnbroker, reasoning that she won't be missed, and he can use her money for the greater good. Strangely, however, he never uses her money. He instead buries it under a rock and forgets it. What was his true motivation then? Later on, you discover he's motivated by a much darker ideology, which he shares in an article titled "On Crime." He argues there are only 2 types of people: 1. Ordinary people: who live by the status quo and obey the law 2. Extraordinary people: who have the strength to break the law He concludes that extraordinary people SHOULD break the law to serve the greater good of humanity… The problem of this ideology is it doesn't justify just one murder, but two, or three, or three thousand, etc. Raskolnikov proves this himself: after murdering the pawnbroker, he then murders her innocent sister, solely for self-preservation. Ultimately, Dostoevsky warns that when man rejects objective morality, not only is murder justified, but moral relativism — taken at scale — can justify mass murder itself. What is brilliant about Crime and Punishment is that the greatest damage to Raskolnikov is not the legal or social consequences that eventually catch up to him. Instead, Raskolnikov's actions destroy him bit-by-bit from the inside. Where Raskolnikov thought that his own superiority would allow him to commit crimes with impunity, he finds that it is the personal cost that actually damages him. Thus Dostoevsky makes a poignant argument that morality is objective. And if we live according to our own will, and to our own ambition, disaster is lurking...

The Arab slave trade started earlier, lasted longer and enslaved more people than the Atlantic slave trade. Muslims enslaved 30 million Africans and 5 million Europeans since the 7th century. Many Muslim countries are still actively practicing slavery today. Why don’t we learn about it in school?

The Iran nuclear agreement, or JCPOA, was a matter of the Obama administration and Europeans agreeing to pay the Iranian regime to slow down its drive for a nuclear weapon for 10-15 years. It’s not more complicated than that. The Obama admin and Europeans also agreed among themselves not to sanction the Iranians as they ramped up terrorism, missiles, and drones at the same time. The JCPOA was a very, very unwise attempt at appeasing Ali Khamenei that led inexorably to the October 7th massacre and the current crisis.

Funny thing about Elizabeth Warren’s “consumer protection”: she’ll torch a merger over 9% market share, but cheer the federal government monopolizing your healthcare, your student loans, your childcare, your bank, and your housing.

Dear Senator Sanders, Oh, this is RICH. This is so perfectly, exquisitely, weapons-grade rich that I had to put down my anatomy exams and just... appreciate it for a moment. The man who got thrown out of a SOCIALIST HIPPIE COMMUNE in Vermont in 1971 — after THREE DAYS — for refusing to do any actual work while everyone else planted, harvested, and hauled water, is out here telling me the OLIGARCHS want to control everything. Three. Days. The communists gave you a longer trial period than most employers give to someone who steals from the register. Here is what Jim Quinn's Law Number Two says, and I want every single person reading this to tattoo it somewhere useful: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing." Senator, you OWN THREE HOMES. A Burlington residence. A D.C. townhouse. A $575,000 vacation lake house in North Hero, Vermont — purchased in 2016, the same year you were touring the country telling college students the system is rigged. Your net worth sits somewhere between $2.5 and $3 million. You have pocketed over $2.5 MILLION in book royalties since 2011. That elevator is clearly not stuck between floors for you, is it. And then — THEN — during your "Fighting Oligarchy Tour" with AOC, you spent over $550,000 in CAMPAIGN FUNDS on PRIVATE JET TRAVEL. Half a million dollars on luxury jets to lecture working Americans about the dangers of wealth. When Fox News caught you boarding a Bombardier Challenger 604 — a jet that runs up to $15,000 PER HOUR — you did not apologize. You did not even blink. You looked directly into the camera and said, and I am quoting this verbatim because it is the most accidentally honest thing you have ever said: "You think I'm gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?" Senator. THAT IS OLIGARCHIC THINKING. That is TEXTBOOK "the rules apply to you people, not to me." That is the elevator music of every single billionaire you have spent 35 years pretending to oppose. In a battle of wits with your own stated beliefs, you showed up completely unarmed. Thirty-five years in Congress. You know what your personal legislative output looks like? Eight bills passed. EIGHT. In three and a half DECADES. That works out to 0.23 bills per year. I have produced more graded anatomy exams in a single semester. Your two greatest solo legislative achievements — the ones with your name on top, the thing YOU actually DID — are the naming of a post office in Danville, Vermont, and the naming of a post office in Fair Haven, Vermont. You named. Two. Post offices. You are as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to actually passing legislation, but you want me to believe you are the vanguard of the working class. That sounds like a YOU problem. Quinn's Law #25: "Liberals are great at giving away other people's money." You have been living PROOF of that law for 35 years. You give away everyone else's money — from a vacation home on a lake — while spending half a million on jets because you are far too important to wait in line with the taxpayers funding your lifestyle. You want to talk about oligarchs controlling the media? You have been IN the media for four decades. You just finished a $75 million documentary. You have a book deal. You have a podcast. You HAVE the megaphone and you are using it to tell people that other people have the megaphone. The gene pool really needed a lifeguard for THAT particular reasoning. I am a high school science teacher in Northeast Ohio. I support a family of six on a teacher's salary. I am not particularly impressed by a man with three houses, $550,000 in jet receipts, and 0.23 bills per year telling me he stands with the working class. More famous than wise, Senator. More famous than wise. The hippie commune knew it in 72 hours. How long is it going to take everyone else? IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this. COMMENT below — do YOU think a man with three homes and a half-million dollar private jet habit speaks for working Americans? Tell me. And if you want MORE of this — the data, the history, the science, the stories — JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube. But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who can actually do math, a retired Army combat medic who knows what genuine sacrifice looks like, and apparently one of the few people left who finds it suspicious that the most vocal enemy of oligarchy just cannot bring himself to wait in line at the airport with the rest of us. @JoJoFromJerz @GuntherEagleman @catturd2 #MAGA #Veterans #Trump
